Chapter 3 - Revelations - part 2
"WHAT!!"
Eriol winced, for a quiet man Touya sure had a set of lungs.
"He's not gone?" The reincarnation nodded. "WHAT THE HELL IS HE PLAYING AT!"
"Touya, would you like to hear the answers or just keep shouting?"
He watched the older man take a deep breath. "Okay. . .go on."
"Well, it's perfectly possible for a Guardian such as Yue to remain dormant within a false form, he would simply immerse himself so far in that forms life and mind that he would feel like he was dreaming. . .still I must say it's a surprising choice for Yue to make"
"Why?"
"He's surrendering his entire consciousness and his memories in favour of another's. . .aside from that it's not a very comfortable existence." He elaborated at the sight of question in Touya's dark and practically fulminating stare. "To go for any length of time without exercising you true form is not only intensely uncomfortable but risky too. He would have had to appear once a year or so simply to stretch his wings so the muscles don't atrophy."
"How can he though? Yuki never leaves my side except-."
"Except for this archery competition.?"
Eriol thought the Card Mistress' brother was taking the news of the deception very well, he was silent and unblinking, expressionless until- "SAKURA!!!"
"Now you listen to me, if anything and I mean *anything* happens while I'm gone there will be hell to pay and if you let that Chinese boyfriend of yours set one foot inside this house I will know and you will suffer. I mean it Sakura." His sister just nodded knowing from the fact he was using her proper name that he wasn't about to be messed around. He checked his watch for the hundredth time that morning. "Where is he!?"
Sakura still didn't know what was going on, after being called to her oniichan's room and assured that no, nothing was wrong with Yukito, Touya had informed her that he was leaving her in charge of the house and was going right away at which point Eriol had chimed in;
"Slow down, I should go with you but I have some things to sort out back at the mansion first, besides, it'll be dark in a couple of hours, we'd far better leave tomorrow."
After pacing his room for a bit Touya had grudgingly agreed. . .it was now midday.
"Well where is he?!"
Kero zipped into the room. "He's almost here." Sakura closed her eyes briefly to sense the young mage.
"He's at the end of the road."
"Right." Touya grabbed his keys, his wallet and his coat. "Remember what I told you Sakura, and Kero? The bottom drawer of the fridge is mine and Yuki's, do - not - touch!"
The plush rolled his eyes and landed sulkily on his Mistress' shoulder. Touya gave one last warning look before he closed the door and ran down the drive.
The Cardcaptor and her Sun Guardian looked at each other. "What is going on?"
Touya picked Eriol up at the end of the road.
"Get in." He ordered and seeing the gleam in the older mans eyes Eriol did just that.
He looked ragged and angry. All night he had lay awake seeing Yue, weary Yue, vulnerable Yue, gentle Yue, grateful Yue. . .regretful Yue, lonely Yue. The creation shown all the emotions he was truly capable of in a single evening, his last.
The image that tortured him the most was also the most beautiful, Yuki's face/Yue's face, for that one brief moment they had been merged, his Snow Bunny's pleasure, his angels pleasure. . .grateful Yue.
/"Thank-you Toya." Yue whispered and faded with Yukito's smile./
"Damn you Yue."
Touya was an excellent driver, he'd passed his drivers test first time and with full marks, he'd never come close to having an accident. . .until today.
"Touya! I don't want to die again just yet." Eriol cried.
He narrowly avoided an array of traffic cones before he gritted his teeth and slowed down to a reckless rather than suicidal speed.
"So how does this work, Yue waits until everyone on the archery team is really tired from competing, like on the last day or something, then sneaks out to 'spread his wings'?"
"Uh. . .well for a start its only a one day competition, they stay for one night and come back the following morning."
"How do you know?"
"Kaho used to go all the time."
The steering wheel creaked as Touya throttled it. "I'm going to kill him. How could he do this to m- Yuki?"
Eriol caught the slip but ignored it. "I can't answer that Touya, I don't even know *why* he would do it."
After that they didn't speak at al, not one word was exchanged in four hours except for Touya's frequent curses at the traffic, why hadn't they left earlier? Why had he waited for Eriol? He held his tongue until he stopped to fill up with petrol and Eriol insisted they eat. Once Touya had agreed to dawdle for a while he found it difficult to get started again, he refused to believe he was nervous about seeing Yue again so he ignored Eriol raised eyebrows when he spent two hours reading one newspaper and eating one bite out of one sandwich. He probably would have stayed for another hour if he hadn't spotted the University Coach pulling up and a group of young athletes stepping off. He got up quickly, his muscles protesting at the sudden move and set off after them with Eriol close behind.
He soon caught up with one of the more recognisable faces in his lover's long list of friends.
"Hey! You're boyfriend blew the competition away, he said you might not be too pleased with him though." Reagan teased.
"Why?" Touya growled.
"'Cause he'd bringing home *three* trophies." The taller man managed a grimace in place of a smile. "Hey you'd better hurry, he said you guys had something romantic planned for the last night which was why he was staying behind at the lodge." He winked. "I always wondered why he never travelled back with us!"
As Reagan was called away Eriol and Touya shared a glance. So that was how Yue managed it.
With a low growl of renewed anger the older, darker and for the moment more dangerous man strode back to his car where the younger was forced to hop in while it was moving. Touya wasn't waiting any longer.
Yukito wandered around the cabin. Why am I still here?
Because you need to be here, his thoughts told him.
Why do I need to be here? He questioned.
There was no answer.
Almost an hour later the road became a bumpy dirt track and they knew they were close. Eriol closed his eyes and concentrated inward.
"Can you feel him?" Touya asked.
The reincarnation nodded slowly. "I can feel Yukito about a mile away."
"What about Yue?"
"Nothing from him, he must have cloaked himself from the beginning in order to hide his existence from Sakura."
Touya glared venomously ahead. "I'll never forgive him for this." He snarled.
Yukito stepped outside the cabin, shifting from one foot to the other. He felt uncomfortable in his own skin, he felt restless.
A few more minutes then he could-.
What?
A few more minutes and the moon would appear.
So?
. . .SO?
"Almost there." Touya gritted.
From where he was being thrown by the vehicles jerky movement on the rough trail Eriol peered up through the sunroof.
Not long until-.
Sunset. Yukito observed, stretching his arms above his head.
Eriol sat up abruptly, seeing his passenger fling himself forward when the motion of the car was throwing them from side to side made Touya look at him.
"So there you are Yue." The reincarnation whispered softly.
The driver's gaze sharpened. "You can sense him now?"
"He's begun to emerge. Stop the car."
Touya braked immediately. "We'll walk the rest of the way." Eriol instructed.
A pale hand fiddled with an even paler band of spun silver at his wrist, a gift from a Guardian Angel.
"Where are you Yue?" He wandered sadly as the moon peeked overhead, full and alluring.
Noiselessly the two travellers made their way through the trees, both intent on one goal. When the deserted lodge came into view they slowed and at the sight of a lone figure they stopped just close enough to see everything but far enough away to be hidden by foliage.
The last wisps of cloud ceased obscuring the moon. "Where are you Yue?" A lonely young man repeated before a blinding light embraced him.
"I'm here Yuki." His constant companion replied as the light faded to reveal-.
"Yue." Touya breathed.
* Alright I know it's short but I had a really sadistic urge to end it there. This new fic has been given a very good reception by my readers and I thank you all very much for that.
