Chapter 3- Denial
"Stay back! I'm warning you."
"Awww come on Yuueeee." Kero wheedled.
Sakura made with the wide-eyed innocence. "It's a birthday tradition!"
"Nonsense. I don't remember Clow ever giving me the bumps!"
Kero snort was hardly subtle and the words that followed surely classified as a stage whisper. "Come on Yue, you two rarely did anything else!"
The Moon Guardian glared at Touya when he failed to smother a snigger while Sakura smiled cautiously in the way people who have totally missed the 'joke' usually do.
Yue rolled his eyes. "It is not my birthday!"
Brrrriiiiiinnnnnngggggg!
"That'll be the phone!" Sakura cried, eagerly escaping the rather too adult orientated 'humour.'
"Hello?"
"Where's the birthday boy!?"
"Uhh…"
Eriol tsked. "He should be awake…that was the plan-." Ruby Moon interrupted. "Is he there?" She could hear Eriol flapping his hands to silence her. "I don't know. Is he there Sakura?"
"Ye-es…"
"He's there Ruby, ca-." The butterfly girl squealed. "Give him a great big sloppy kiss from me Sakura!" After a pointed pause Eriol began again. "So ca-." His Moon Guardian clearly wasn't finished. "Actually no, I want to kiss him myself." The reincarnation cleared his throat no doubt picturing the scene. "I wa-." Suddenly Suppi's cultured tones sounded along the line. "You think you'll have a chance with him now Ruby?"
Sakura frowned. "Wha-."
"From the sound of it Sup's even *you* will!"
"Shh!" Eriol hissed. She thought she detected a snicker from the panther but dismissed it as he spoke again. "Please convey my best wishes Sa-." The interrupted caller had clearly had enough. "Who is the master here!?" Ruby clicked her tongue. "Is this a trick question?" 3, 2, 1- "Oh for fu-." Sakura hastily covered the earpiece and hummed loudly to herself before returning to catch the end of what her friend was saying.
"Can we come over tomorrow- well, today that is…later, after five?"
"S-sure."
"SAKURA? YUE WANTS A PARTY!" The walls vibrated as Kero yelled down the stairs.
Yue's own voice was far quieter but approaching panic. "I do no-."
"You're having a party!?" Ruby shrieked.
Oh no. "W-we-."
The young magician sounded thoroughly pleased when he interrupted her…in fact he sounded a lot like he did back when he was 'testing' Sakura's worthiness to be the Card Mistress. "Atta girl, get the old stiff into the spirit!"
"I heard that!" Yue yelled through the ceiling.
The Bewildered Readers Front: "How the hell-?"
Ever the pragmatist, Spinel Sun addressed the real issue. "I'll bring the cheese dip-."
"I heard that!" Kero yelled gleefully
The Bewildered Readers Front: "What the fu-."
Sakura made one last ditch attempt, "But guys, I-." She failed.
Ruby's idea of a nightmare had begun. "That only gives me sixteen hours to get ready!"
The Cardcaptor tried not to laugh when Suppi replied. "I agree. You can't expect cosmetic miracles in under forty-eight hours…"
"At least I use a soap to wash myself and not just my tongue!"
"My hygiene is-."
"Non existent! I hate to think what other body parts you lick!" The butterfly Guardian's screech was deafening.
"Why you little-."
"No please guys! I don't think I can cope with round 67." Silence followed the reincarnation's touching plea…CRASH!…clearly the silence before the storm.
"I'm gonna kill you!!!!!!!"
Eriol sighed. "This could be brutal Sakura, I have to go. See you later".
"Bu-." The phone went dead
She put the phone down slowly. The two Guardian's and her oniichan traipsed down the stairs. Be calm…just breath…
"Sakura!" That couldn't be Yue whining. "Tell Kero to stop being a prick!" She blinked, yes this was Yue…a rather more…uh, expressive Yue wearing…bunny rabbit pyjamas. "I'd rather wash my hair in a bird bath than have a party."
The Sun Guardian shrugged. "Why hide the way you feel?" The Moon being responded by snatching the plush out of the air and squeezing him like a hamster…suffice to say his eyes bulged.
"I am far from hiding my feelings right now Kero." He growled warningly.
It was the Mistress' duty to calm her Guardian's so she rushed suicidally into the fray. "That's alright Yue. You deserve a party so if you really want one I'll-."
"I – do – not – want – a – party!" Kero wriggled from his fist, gulping in air. Yue continued. "I simply started humming this wretched song that's gotten stuck in my head and then Kero-."
The miniature creation had unfortunately regained his breath. "It was the party song!"
Sakura was shocked so she looked at her oniichan for confirmation. Touya nodded solemnly and scratched his bare stomach. "He clearly has repressed birthday party issues probably brought on by over exposure to pass-the- parcel-."
"It's my party and I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want…" Yue faded out and sniffled tearfully.
"- or possibly musical chairs…"
"It's so sad!" The Guardian sobbed and promptly banged his head against the wall…repeatedly…when he showed no sign of stopping Touya laid a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"There, there."
Sakura shook her head. "I'm sorry Yue, I had no idea. Of course we'll throw you a party-."
Her Guardian shook his head slightly and seemed to refocus with difficulty. "Why would you do that to me!? After my…uh, months of grudgingly faithful service…."
As gently as possible…but not without a certain amount of enjoyment being derived from it Touya spoke. "Yue, you have issues."
Kero nodded in agreement. "You were singing the party song bro…"
The Guardian looked thoroughly appalled. "I would never!"
Kero glanced at his mistress who shared a knowing look with her brother. 'Denial' their faces said.
"I am not in denial." Yue insisted, folding his arms in a manner that would have been impressive were it not for Yukito's pyjamas.
Sakura held her hands out placatingly. "We never said you were."
The Angel sniffed sulkily. "You're look said it all."
Touya thumbed his chin pensively. "Yue if you think we think you're in denial
Sakura finished on a note of revelation. "Subconsciously its *you* who thinks you are." The siblings smiled self-importantly.
That was enough from the birthday-boy-in-denial. "What utter bollocks!"
Kero blinked, Sakura sweat-dropped and Touya frowned. "Now just because it's your birthday it doesn't mean you're allowed to swear."
"Kiss my a-."
The Sun Guardian shook his head violently. "I'd really rather not hear your celebration plans.
"If you don't behave you won't get a cake!" The Mistress threatened.
Yue framed his cheeks in mock horror. "How awful!"
Kero's eyes watered. "Do it for me…I simply must have cake!"
"My heart bleeds Kero, truly. Is anyone worried about the fact I can't find Yukito?"
Sakura pursed her lips. "I would be but...well you're still here aren't you?"
"Are you all on crack? What the hell does that have to do with anything?!"
Abruptly Touya flung his left arm out and pointed up the stairs. "That's it Yue! Go to my room!"
"Fine!" The Guardian shot back as he spun around and stomped loudly up the stairs while they waited for the predictably vicious slam of the bedroom door.
Brother and sister shared a despairing look. "Guardians…"
Kero nodded then frowned for a moment. "Hey!"
* I am currently lost is a sea of randomness…let me know if you spot any hints of a plot…oh, and please review.
