WHEN YUE IS A GIRL
Sakura looked at Yue with apprehension. The news had reported that there was going to be an eclipse tonight. According to the reporter, the eclipse would last for the whole night, starting from 11.00pm.
From past experiences, Yue knows that the eclipse would bring nothing but trouble. The first time there was one; he was with Clow, which was fortunate because the effect on him was shocking. Yue had turned into a moon blossom flower, and CLOW had cradled him with care till the eclipse was over. Subsequently, there was one other eclipse before he was sealed in the book, waiting for his next master. He had transformed into a werewolf, and nearly killed Keroberos before Clow returned home in time. Despite Clow's powerful magic, he couldn't do anything about the transformation Yue goes through whenever there's an eclipse. Thus, Yue concluded that Sakura wouldn't be able to help him either, and had kept quiet about it. He intended to find a secluded place to hide during the eclipse, and not worry Sakura.
But that bigmouth Keroberos had told Sakura everything, with laughter when he recalled the Moon Blossom incident, and anger about the Werewolf one where Yue had nearly murdered him.
And that leads us back to the present, where Sakura is casting worried glances at her Moon Guardian. "Yue? I think you should stay with me tonight, ok?" Touya and Fujitaka were not at home that night, which make things easier.
"No Sakura-sama, it would be best I find a place and wait there till the eclipse is over." Yue replied impassively.
"But it's dangerous for you to be alone out there! What if you become a Moon Blossom again? Anyone could hurt you!" Sakura protested.
"And what if I turned into a werewolf? Then I would be putting you in danger."
"Please Yue, I will be fine. If anything happens, I can just use my magic, like Shield, to protect myself, right? I really hope you can stay here tonight. Please." Sakura pleaded, as she silently added, "So that I can protect you."
Finally, Yue agreed. Kero-chan was downstairs, helping himself to the food in the fridge. It was rare for the house to be empty so that he can roam about in it freely, and he's making the best of it.
Sakura and Yue were in her room, as she watched the clock nervously. It was 10.58pm, another two more minutes before the eclipse. She stole a look at Yue, who looked very calm. Sakura grabbed the staff in her hand, prepared for anything that could happen. There was a flash of bright light that enveloped Yue, causing Sakura to shield her eyes from the glare. Then the light faded, and Sakura lowered her hands. She gasped in amazement. Lying on the floor was a beautiful girl with long loose flowing silver hair, with a slender body that's encased in a robe like Yue's. Her feathery wings were pinkish-white, and she slowly stood up, flapping her wings a little. Her eyes were the color champagne, warm and gentle. Sakura felt her knees go weak as the gorgeous creature cupped her chin in her smooth fair hands. "Sakura?" Her voice was rich and velvety, like a vintage wine, and Sakura found herself drowning in them.
"Ah. Yue?" Sakura asked hesitating.
"Yes." She whispered, and Sakura felt shivers traveling up her spine. Yue sounded so sensual with just one simple word.
"Do you know your appearance has changed?" Sakura managed to ask without stammering.
"Have I?" Yue went to the mirror and stared at herself. She doesn't seem surprised. "Wasn't I always this way?"
Sakura rolled her eyes. She remembered that Kero-chan had said that when Yue transformed in a werewolf, he had no memories of being a Moon Guardian. Yet, Yue remembers his name, but not his former appearance?
"No, you were not! Do you know who you are?" Sakura asked in exasperation.
"Didn't you call me Yue? I guess my name is Yue then, but I don't remember anything else." Yue looked at Sakura trustingly.
"But you called me Sakura! You knew my name just now!"
"Did I? Oh, ok then, I know you are Sakura, and I'm Yue." Yue smiled.
The door crashed open as Kero-chan dashed in. "Hey, Sakura, check out this………." He trailed off and the food that was stuffed in his mouth fell out as his jaws dropped.
"Who's that?"
Sakura sweatdropped. "Yue! Who else!"
Kero-chan's beady eyes grew twice its size. Then he closed them as he burst into peals of laughter. "Wahahahaha………Yue's a girl! Hahahahaa!"
Sakura glared at him, but Yue suddenly grabbed Kero-chan to her chest and hugged him tightly. "Oooooooooo, a talking and laughing stuffed toy! How cute!" She crooned happily.
Kero-chan struggled but her grip was pretty strong. "Hey let me go! What the hell do you think you are doing! Calling me a stuffed toy! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh YUE! THIS IS GROSS! Stop hugging me!" Kero-chan blushed vividly as he was pressed further into Yue's breasts.
Sakura grabbed Kero-chan away before he faints. "Yue, this is Kero-chan, he's the other guardian of the Clow cards."
Yue's lips trembled as tears fell down from her sad eyes. "Clow? Clow-sama?" She sobbed and sank to the floor, face held in her hands.
Sakura rushed forward to comfort her. "Yue, ah, don't cry, please! Why are you crying?" Kero-chan looked extremely uncomfortable.
"Clow, Clow…………is dead, right? I remember now………oh, I miss him so much!" She weep, her body shaking from her violent sobs.
Sakura hugged her and patted her back soothingly. "Oh, let it all out Yue, I'll be here with you."
"Th-th-thank you. I loved Clow so much, you know? When he died, I thought I was dead too, for my heart felt like it was ripped to a million pieces. And what remain in the place where my heart used to be were tears. Tears of sorrow that accumulated and accumulated, not flowing out, not escaping. Just creating a heavy weight in my chest that makes it so difficult to breathe. Each time I see you use a Clow card, I see him. And the pain starts all over again. The heart that I thought had shattered when he left hurts like someone's ramming a knife through it." Yue shuddered, as if recalling the pain.
"Clow's favorite flowers were Cherry Blossoms. Whenever someone calls out your name, Sakura, I can almost see him smiling, standing beneath the cherry blossom tree in our garden. And remember I would never see his smile again, ever. I wish so much that I'm not an immortal, that I'm a mere human and so I can die, not suffering and living out of duty." Sighing in resignation, Yue leaned her head on Sakura's shoulder.
Sakura held Yue closer, and she started crying too.
"I'm sorry Yue, I'm so sorry." For the first time in her life, Sakura hated her name, for it brought Yue pain to hear it.
"No, please don't be. I have grown to love you, and now I understand why Clow's favorite flower is cherry blossom. For they are sweet, innocent and beautiful. Lifting the heart with its fragrance, healing the soul with the wonder it brings to those who are close. I feel reborn, my heart restored, and tears melt away with your smiles."
"So my dear Sakura, please smile for me." Yue tilted Sakura's chin and looked tenderly into her tear-filled eyes. Sakura smiled, and said, "Thank you, thank you for loving me."
They hugged again, and Yue said, "Now, how about some girls' talk?" She pushed Kero-chan out of the room and locked the door, ignoring his cries and banging on the door.
Sakura's eyes grew wide like saucers. "Girls talk?" She squeaked.
"Yes! That's what girls do, isn't it? Now let's see, do think my breasts are too big?" Yue held her hands up to her chest, measuring them and looking at Sakura.
She blushed, and replied shyly. "Ah, no, they are just nice."
Yue smiled and dropped her hands to her side. "Why thank you! How about you?"
"Me?"
"Yes, are you happy with yours? I mean, many girls probably think the bigger the better, or feels that theirs are too small. What about you?" Yue eyed Sakura's chest critically, as if trying to determine her size.
Sakura crossed her arms over them quickly, and flushed a deep red. "I-I-I-I th-th-think mine's ok. I mean…….I mean they could be bigger, but it's fine that they are not." Sakura couldn't believe she's having this kind of conversation with Yue.
Yue nodded thoughtfully. "Yup, I think yours are ok too, for your lithe body. You could do with putting on a little, just a little more weight." She suddenly circled Sakura's waist with her hands.
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeks!" She was surprised, and felt ticklish. "Hee-haa-hee-haaaa, stop it…….hahahhaaa!"
Yue grinned playfully and advanced upon Sakura. "So you are ticklish! Great!" Yue tackled Sakura and tickled her mischievously. Soon they were rolling onto the floor, with Sakura struggling and laughing. After their laughter died down, they laid on the floor, facing the ceiling in comfortable silence.
"Sakura, can I comb your hair?" Yue asked suddenly.
"Huh? Ah, sure." They sat up, as Yue went to get a hairbrush.
Yue sat behind Sakura and caress her silky dark tresses. "They feel very nice."
Sakura blushed. "Thank you."
Yue ran her fingers through Sakura's hair, and massaged her scalp gently. She relaxed and leaned back into Yue. "Hmmmmmmmm." Yue used one hand to continue the massage, while the other brushed Sakura's hair in feather light strokes, careful not to pull on her hair too hard.
"Your hair smells good too, like your name, cherry blossoms." Yue murmured huskily.
"Oh, thanks!" Sakura was pleased with the compliment.
Yue settled the brush down, and asked. "Would you like a full body massage?"
"Yes please!" Sakura had been feeling sore all over recently, and a body massage sounded really appealing.
Sakura lay down on her bed, with her back facing Yue. Yue started massaging her on her neck in slowly rotating motions, working the kinks out of it. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, that feels goooood." As Yue continued massaging Sakura, a furious Kero-chan was on the other side of the door, eavesdropping on them.
Kero-chan was startled to be pushed out of Sakura room at first, not wanting to miss out on what could be a very interesting "girls talk". Screaming and banging on the door didn't seemed to have any use, so Kero-chan pressed his round eyes on the door. There was the sound of giggling and laughter, then silence. Suddenly, Kero-chan heard Sakura moan, and his beady eyes nearly popped out. "What the hell are those two up to? Yue's a girl now right? What can two girls do together? Ah, oh, this is not good. Yue could be seducing Sakura right this moment!" Transforming into his seal guardian beast form, he crashed into the room. He gnashed his teeth together as he saw Yue looming over Sakura on her bed. "YUE!!!!!!!!!!!!" Pouncing on him, Kero-chan tackled Yue down onto the floor. Evidently, Yue had not lost his powers as a Moon Guardian, and shot shards of crystals at Kero-chan. "Oh you big bad lion! What do you think you do doing, tackling a lady to the ground!" Yue screeched.
"Lady? You are a lady? I'll show you who's the big bad lion…….arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Kero-chan shot a fireball from his mouth, aiming at Yue.
"STOP THIS INSTANCE YOU TWO!" Sakura yelled. She used the Shield card to neutralize their attacks on each other. Sakura was thinking of using the sleep card to stop the two from fighting when Yue threw her arms around Sakura.
"Oh Sakura! That was soooooooo scary! Big bad lion!" Yue cried as she gave Kero-chan a disgusted glare. Kero-chan glared at Yue and wailed, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it's not fair Sakura! I was saving you!" He threw a mini tantrum and nearly made a hole on the floor.
Sakura sweatdropped. This is gonna be a loooooooooooooong night.
