"So what am I supposed to do? I mean.. I don't even know if she likes me.. What if she... what if she likes som.." Yukito's voice quivered, unable to finish the words.

Touya remained stiff, trying to gather himself together. First of all, why her?! Second... you think that's the "problem?!" How about me? Don't I deserve an explanation?! How come I didn't know any of this?! Touya thought angrily, his mouth twitching slightly as he continued.

And on top of that, a GIRL?! Well, okay.. so there's nothing wrong with "her" being a "girl" but that's not the point! I mean.. what's so special about her anyways?! To say that Touya was furious is an understatement. He couldn't understand why of all people, Yukito chose Mika-chan.

Touya managed to control his raging temper and spoke to Yukito. He was struggling to keep his voice from faltering, and barely succeeding with it.

He finally asked. "How long?" It was all Touya could ask, as if those two words were enough to be understood by Yukito.

Despite Touya's attempts to cloak his disillusionment, Yukito could still sense the hurt in Touya's voice. He tugged nervously at his bangs, dropping his eyes on the locker's floors. "Umm.. months?" Yukito answered softly, apology written on his pale face.

"Exactly HOW many?" Touya frowned, knowing Yukito was at fault in keeping it from him. He's facing the lockers now, his back turned against Yukito. He tried hard to conceal the growing tension inside him and the obvious resentment that painted his tanned face. Touya felt like being drowned in his own embarrassment - felt ashamed for even thinking of such things. He wouldn't want Yukito to sense his false hope, much more uncover his deepest, darkest secrets. Fantasizing about his best friend wasn't exactly something he would openly shared with the world.

Yukito answered him. "Umm... three?" The silver-haired boy answered nervously, eyes stealing glances at Touya every second or so.

Touya almost collapsed. Shit.. I can't believe he kept that from me for that long.. He didn't even consider the fact that I'm his closest friend.. his BEST friend for god's sake.. And all this time I was expecting him to be in love with m-

Touya didn't finish the thought. As much as he wanted to deny it, he "was" disappointed. He still couldn't believe that Yukito.. the shy and blithe guy he always known his best friend to be, actually liked someone else and even wanted to confess to that certain someone. His best friend always acted neutral in front of everyone-treating them all as good friends and still manages to keep the distance. Yukito was just as secretive as him and it shocked Touya to hear this sudden revelation.

He turned to gaze at Yukito's features. He marveled at the silver hair, glistening faintly despite the lack of light in the room. Then his eyes were diverted to his best friend's amber eyes, amazed at how unbelievably "timeless" they looked. Everything about Yukito seemed to glow.. and it made Touya even more determined to get him back. He vowed to himself that he would... and he would do it no matter what.

Okay, I have to think of a plan fast! Think Kinomoto! Touya thought in panic.

Yukito started speaking, troubled eyes barely gazing at him. "Um... To-ya, I'm really, for not telling you that..."

Hm, a plan. I need a plan... something that'll draw Yuki's attention away from Mika-chan.. Touya thought long and hard. He was so deep in his thoughts that didn't hear as Yukito continued.

"...I know.. I should've..."

THAT'S IT! An idea formed in Touya's head. I know this will work.. because I'll make it work! And no one would dare stop me, not Clow Cards or wandering spirits, and certainly not that Mika character! Touya thought gleefully, already basking in his premature "victory."

"... told you about my feelings for Mika-chan.. but.. well, I was kinda embarrassed.. and I don't know what your reaction will be.. and.. a-and I don't know anything about girls and stuff and..." Yukito mumbled ceaselessly as he attempted to explain himself.

Touya cringed slightly at the mention of Mika-chan's name. Kinomoto, stay calm... the situation won't improve a bit if you let him know how bothered you are. Just go with the plan and don't forget to smile goddammit! Touya hissed in his mind. He breathed deeply then forced a smile at Yukito to mask his uneasiness.

"Haha, Yuki, you're mumbling! It's okay you know, I understand." Yeah, I understand alright. He thought with a snort.

Yukito turned to face Touya. He was a bit puzzled at Touya's sudden change of reaction but continued. "R-Really? Wow, thanks To-ya.. I knew you would." Yukito beamed at Touya, relief evident on his face.

Touya smiled back. Yes, Yuki... I understand.. but that doesn't mean I won't do anything.

I understand perfectly, Yuki. Tomorrow, PROJECT YUKI begins.

Touya woke up with a terrible headache.

It was Saturday morning and he needed to get ready for class. His body screamed for rest, and his vision was slightly bleary from lack of sleep. Cursing inwardly, he forced himself to scramble out of bed.

He managed to get himself to the bathroom despite occasionally tripping on the wooden floor. While stripping his clothes off, he recalled yesterday's incident.

Shit. I know I was all obnoxiously confident yesterday but seriously, how do I even pull this off? Touya thought miserably as he turned on the shower.

The plan sounded really good to him yesterday, but now, thinking about it made his defenses crumble. Touya knew the "project" wouldn't be as easy as he thought it would be. Even though Yuki was incredibly dense at times, he wasn't an idiot. Yukito Tsukishiro could be perceptive when he chooses to be, and although he always acted jovial around people, Touya knew no one could past him without thorough scrutiny. Behind those gentle, amber eyes were another pair-keener, and more mindful of the things surrounding them. And Touya was not an exception.

He knew it wouldn't help him if Yukito finds out about his "project" prematurely. Not only would he be mortified by the accidental "disclosure", but having Yukito discover that he would even dare to think all those "impure" thoughts about them, made him want claw his eyes out. It was all Touya could do not to drown himself to death in the shower.

Maybe I should just disappear... Touya thought in misery. He was in love with Yukito for a while now, although it took him a while to realize it. It wasn't the same as his feelings for Kaho.

Then he suddenly remembered. The promise. The one he made himself. He remembered looking into Yukito's eyes, and how they reminded him of the moon. Sometimes he thought, they did glow like the moon. Perhaps because Yukito was the moon himself... or the other one within him. He knew Yukito's true form from the first time he met hiim, and Yue knew it too. It was a special secret they shared, until Yukito was made aware of Yue's existence.

Recalling his promise to Yue, he decided that no matter how ugly things become, he would never, ever leave Yukito behind.

Touya decided to stop dawdling and finished his shower. On top of his desk, a notebook had been opened by the gentle breeze blowing from his windows. Pages flipped, as if invisible fingers were turning them. Finally, it stopped on the last page. Something-a short note-was written at the bottom. The note read:
