Journal ch 3
Disclaimer- Don't own it. Never have, and never will. Oh, well. Wish I did. No money is being made from this work of FICTION, and all recognizable characters, ideas, etc. belong to their creator(s), which is not me. Errrr....Do I have to keep putting this up, or is once enough? ^-^x
Warnings- same as previous chapters. Violence, hints of shounen ai/yaoi abound, language...that's about all I can think of. (LOL, those who know me outside of the ff.net circle, namely Hikari, can attest to my violent, potty mouthed, general wacky nature) ^-^x
(Kriss)AN- sorry about the delay. I've had writer's block, work, and school, and the 'rents and my boyfriend have been hounding my ass about school and my grades. Not to mention I now have a pretty bad cold...I just can't win....oh, well. Also, Kris, I know you're reading this, so do me a fave and call! I want to run my other ideas by you....and read below, ok?
I'll try and start up a reply to reviewers thing in the next chapter. (Which I have just about written, I just want to go back and do a little bit of tweaking with the plot.) Thanks to those of you who have reviewed.
Hikari, go review my LOTR fic, ok? And call me and help me with my GW fic. We also need to get back to working on our SW fic, ne? (Ack, writer's block sucks!)
**And to the reviewer who reviewed about my mistakes, etc....no, you didn't hurt my feelings, or discourage me. It was CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. If you'd been rude, flamed me, and not pointed out the good with the bad, then I may have been upset. Thank you for your honesty. I appreciate it.
*Feel like helping out and being a beta? I don't know the technicalities of it, but I can kinda guess. Just drop me a line at krisnkriss@hotmail.com! ^-^x
Onto the fic now, I swear!!! (Just don't forget the little button at the bottom that says review, ok? It makes my day, and possibly week, to know someone's out there, and reading!)

"Ah, there you are!" A rustle of his robe announced Clow's arrival by the lake. Yue sat gazing at the waxing moon. His long hair drug across the water as he leaned over to caress the orb's reflection. As his pale fingers gazed the edge of the circle, it rippled. Yue drew back, a small smile on his lips as he observed the movement's of both water, and reflected sky. He raised his fingers, wet with moisture, and touched his chin softly, his eyes still trained to the water.
"It's lovely, isn't it?" Clow sat beside Yue, groaning as his bones and joints creaked faintly. The angel turned to gaze at Clow, a sudden mischievous glint in his eyes. He leaned to brush his fingers across the moon's reflection, then flicked his long fingers at the magician, spraying water at him. Yue laughed, soft and sweet.
"I'm sorry Master. I couldn't help it." Yue composed himself with obvious difficulty, drying his fingers on the edge of his robe.
"You couldn't, could you?" Clow raised an eyebrow, then reached out to tweak a piece of Yue's hair. "Your hair is getting wet. It's going to tangle. If you would like, I'll braid it for you." Yue smiled and turned so that his back faced Clow. Clow pulled a ribbon and brush from a pocket in his robe. The ribbon was a deep blue-violet color, and it had always reminded him of the lovely color of Yue's eyes.
Yue was humming a happy tune, that had Clow smiling as he began to run the brush through the white silk. He started at the very ends of Yue's hair, patiently working upwards. Yue began to purr quietly. Clow snorted with suppressed laughter.
"Has Keroberos joined us, my Yue?" Clow's chuckles earned him a glare from a pink cheeked, embarrassed Yue.
"Nay, the sweets addicted flea-bag is not present, my Master." Yue rolled his eyes, but leaned back into Clow's eyes.
Clow gently worked his brush through the entire length of Yue's shimmering mane. It matched the moonlight perfectly. Clow replaced his brush in his pocket and separated his hair into three sections, and began to weave them together. Once a loose braid was fashioned, the end was secured with the ribbon. Clow let his fingers lightly brush across the interwoven hairs before he wrapped the braid around his fist and snatched the winged being up. Yue was too stunned to do anything but cry out in shock and fright. He couldn't feel the taut pull of his braid, or Clow's hand as he was roughly backhanded across the mouth. His abused body did recognize the shock of cold water as he was pushed backwards into the lake by Clow.

This is pathetically short I know, but I decided to cut this chapter in half, b/c I really am not feeling well, and I think I'm going to go to sleep early tonight. (And hell has just frozen over. I NEVER go to sleep early, lol!) This scene has been nagging at me, screaming to be written though, and I wanted to post something so ya'll would know that I haven't abandoned this fic!
Well, as always, I appreciate comments, suggestions, constructive criticism, and IDEAS! (I love ideas, actually. ^-^x) That having been said, go review. ~is aware that right now her Aibou Kris is saying: "BOSSY!"~ Kriss:@-@x-----Oro? LOL!
