*Stress/Emphasizing*

-Thoughts-

"Speaking"

Telepathy

-That dream again...Why does it haunt me so?- She thought as she woke up. -I just want it to go away....-

She turned onto her back and stared at the ceiling. A few seconds later her light apple-green eyes were diverted to the painting over her fireplace, her silvery white hair cascading all around her.

-We were so happy together...Why would Mommy just disappear on us like that?- she asked herself as she looked at the panting of herself and her parents. It had been a gift for her 13th birthday.

There had only been one problem the year she was to turn 13...

Her mother - she hadn't seen her in three years. The eyes twinkling when a crazy idea popped into her head.

Her father - she hadn't seen any signs of waking after he fell into the coma. The smile she enjoyed so much and made her proud to be "his moon's star."

She pulled her gaze away from the painting, forcing back her tears. She waved her hand towards the large dark green curtains. They moved back to reveal floor-to-ceiling windows with a blue sky and puffy white clouds. The sun shone brightly in the sky, but she sighed deeply, not finding the comfort she needed.

She got out of bed and went to the closet, pulling out the outfit she was to wear that day. She flicked her hand to her bed, and immediately the bed was made. She placed her outfit on it, careful as to not get it wrinkled.

-I need a nice long shower...-She then walked into her bathroom determined to take a long shower to cool off her nerves.

-I wonder how Yuriana-chan is doing.- he thought as he used a black ribbon to tie his dark raven hair into a ponytail. His indigo eyes softened at the thought of the white-haired angel who had fallen after her mother's disappearance and her father's collapse.

His gaze was diverted to the picture next to him. -She looks so happy...- he thought. It was a picture of him and her. He blushed remembering how she said he could wrap his arms around her waist from behind if he wanted, and he had hesitated, but then did just that. She in turn had wrapped her arms around his neck as he placed his head on her shoulder. His mother had taken the picture-he'll never know why.

A knock on the door snapped him from his thoughts. He looked to the door, "Come in."

A reddish-brown-haired girl poked her head into the room, her reddish-violet eyes blinking. "Ohayo Jarin-kun. Mistress Tomoyo says breakfast is ready."

"Ohayo Nakuru-san. Arigatou." He replied. "Just tell Okaa-san that I'll skip."

"Alright." Akizuki Nakuru closed the door and headed downstairs as he sighed.

Jarin got up and moved to the painting of Clow Reed, Yue, and Cerberus. Slowly and carefully he took it off the wall to reveal a safe with a combination lock. He turned the lock three times to the right, once to the left, and once more to the right. The door swung open and he took out a glass case.

A choker designed with back-to-back crescent moons made of diamonds came together to a star made of peridots. A silver bracelet with the same design as the choker, along with a set of earrings, one pair consisting of diamond crescent moons, the other pair of peridot stars. It may not have been - maybe it was - the perfect set of jewels a young girl would want, but Jarin knew that only one girl was perfect for this gift.

He looked at his watch and realized that he had to leave in a few minutes. He took out a small white bag with lime green gift wrap in it. A rectangular white box was pulled out and opened up so that the jewels could be placed inside. The bow was then closed and put back into the bag, hidden deeply in the gift wrap.

Grabbing his keys from the table next to his bed, he walked out of the room and downstairs with the gift. He thought of dropping in on the others since he had to go through the kitchen and dining room to the garage.

"Ohayo Okaa-san, Otou-san." Jarin greeted as he placed a kiss on Hiiragizawa (formerly Daidouji) Tomoyo's cheek.

"Ohayo Jarin-kun," Tomoyo replied.

"Oi, where are you going?" Hiiragizawa Eriol asked as Jarin was about to leave the room.

Jarin groaned, "Don't tell me you forgot..." -Otou-san never forgot anything...- he thought at the same time.

"Iie, I didn't forget, and I never will forget anything." Eriol answered Jarin's thought.

"Seems most likely." Suppi retorted from his spot on the counter.

"Oh be quiet." Nakuru replied, and, before Eriol could stop her, plopped a pastry into the dark blue cat's mouth.

Jarin sweatdropped, "I'll be going now if you don't mind. Ja ne."

"Ja ne Jarin-kun!" Nakuru shouted as she held a now very hyper Suppi close to her.

Jarin stepped out into the garage and made his way to a black Corvette. After hiding the gift in a safe spot, he got into the driver's seat and sped off.

"...995, 996, 997, 998, 999, 1,000! Done!" she exclaimed as she put her brush down. "Now where is that sash?"

The young girl got up from her seat and moved towards the bed. She picked up the sash as she stood in front of a foot-length mirror. She brought one end from around her waist and tied it slowly so it hung partly over her left leg.

The whole outfit was a gift from her parents for her 16th birthday. It was a white mini-dress that had a square-neck collar and elbow-length sleeves. The end of the sleeves flowed out in a crinkly design to give it a transparent but unique look. The sash around her waist was the color of her eyes, light apple green, with a design of a crescent moon and star hanging off the tip made of opal gems. Ankle-high white boots and a small white handbag completed the outfit. Her silvery white hair stopped at her waist and fell freely behind her, a headband in her hair. Tomoyo had done the whole thing for her parents, costing them millions of dollars for the different materials used in making it.

Making sure she wasn't leaving anything behind, she stepped out of her room and walked to another door. Her hand rested on the silver knob, but the girl hesitated to twist it. It had been three years since that day, and ever since she had been making sure to see him before she went on with her day. She put the thought out of her mind and twisted it.

The bedroom walls were black, giving the room an eerie atmosphere. A beautiful Chinese rug lay in front of a large fireplace, and tall floor-to-ceiling windows revealed a grove of Sakura trees. On the left side of the room was a four-poster canopy bed, the canopy and sheets silvery white.

The girl approached the bed, looking at the still figure laying in it. She stopped next to him and looked at the medical machines that kept her father, Tsuki Yi, or to her godmother Kinomoto Sakura, Yue, alive.

She sat on the bed, taking his pale hand and resting it on her cheek. She looked at his pale face, wishing that his eyes would flutter open at any second, and she'd see the silvery blue eyes she had grown to know so well.

Tsuki Yuriana remembered the day as if it had happened just yesterday.

Coming home from school to find her mother gone, her mother's dark green Mercedes in the garage.

Searching the house and coming upon her unconscious father on the floor of his study.

Hearing the doctor's words of how she could decide to keep her father alive, or to simply let him go.

How the nightmares haunted her so. She wanted them to leave, to let her live her life as it had been before all this. But she couldn't live her life like before, because after that day, her life had changed. It would never be the way it had been before, and she knew it, though she denied it.

Yuriana shook her head and put his hand down. She pushed his bangs out of his eyes and placed a kiss on his forehead. She whispered, "I love you Daddy." before pulling away.

Walking over to the door, she stopped and looked back at Yue once more. She felt as if his gaze had been on her, but she had to face the facts...

She sighed and left the room, closing the door behind her.

As soon as the door clicked, a pair of light apple green eyes appeared over the fireplace. An evil glint could be seen within them. Slowly they turned to face the unconscious Yue on the bed.

"Soon Yue..." A voice echoed throughout the room. "Soon, your daughter will belong to me..."
