Yukito let out a low moan. A brief flash of memory from Yue clearing his senses instantly. He stood on shaky legs, leaving against the tree.  The dark one started to turn around, and Yukito felt his eyes looking away from him, against his will.  For Yue to move him with force, it must be important. He heard cobbling steps coming toward him, reminding him of early English movies. He hand shoved him against the tree trunk. The position reminded him of one he had with Touya once, before the transfer. A hand with long nails gripped his chin gently, but roughly as well, shaking him from his daze. He had no choice but to look into the eyes of –

Something else took his attention away. A hand was feeling him, his sacred area being violated. Yukito began to feel very ill to his stomach. Hot tears fell down his face in waves. Someone please help me… He thought, but found he could not cry out. He stole a quick glance in Sakura's direction, paling slightly to see her on the ground, her aura flickering as his had done so long ago. He tried to move, to get to her…

"My, my, aren't we such a pretty thing…" The dark one muttered seductively. Yukito squirmed, trying to get away. YUE!!! Wake up!! Please, Yue!! Yukito thought desperately, not feeling the alert feeling he usually did from Yue. He hoped that Yue wasn't injured… or worse.

Yukito's pants grew increasingly tight, his eyes beginning to gleam over with a moonstone film. Tears still spilled everywhere, wetting the dark one's lovely velvet cloak and Yukito's rather demure pale blue yukata. 

            The dark one leaned closer still, his lips caressing the smaller boy's slightly. "Since you will be spending the night with me, I will tell you my name. Dearest Moon, my name is ... Zoriel." The dark one said. Yukito shivered, not liking the sound of it.

"Say my name, rabbit. I'm eager to hear how it will sound when you're yelling it out tonight." Zoriel said with a purr into Yukito's ear. The feeling of Zoriel's breath against his earlobe, his close proximity, and his beauty were too much for Yukito. His eyes 'mooned over' (Touya thought of that) completely. The dark one leaned still closer, looking into Yukito's sparkling, shining eyes. "How interesting…" Zoriel muttered in a careless tone.

            "I want you to say my name. SAY IT!" Zoriel then boomed. Yukito started, jumping a bit. His eyes were wide as his fear rose higher yet. Yukito swallowed. "Zorieru…" He nearly whimpered, his Japanese tongue stumbling over the English name. Zoriel chuckled, pushing back from the tree, and… walking away? Now Yukito was confused. He waved his arm in front of him, grateful that it didn't come in contact with a certain goldilocks.

He sighed from relief, and began to slide down the tree. He felt so weak… Not this feeling again. Yukito thought bitterly.  He continued to slide down the truck of the tree, until strong arms caught him. His eyes went wide with fear, and he struggled to get away. The arms only held him tighter.

Touya wrapped his arms around Yukito, glad he was alright. Yukito's' eyes had changed again, meaning the blonde guy was some sort of manipulative bastard he needed to kill three times over. Yukito struggled, yelling at him to stop. He'd guessed the dark one's name was Zoriel, or something close to it. He held Yukito against his chest. A few moments past, and Yukito stopped struggling. Touya felt Yukito's hand run through his hair.

"Nope, no long golden hair, my Yuki. It's just me." Touya said, stroking Yukito's own hair affectionately. Yukito let out a long breath, leaning into Touya's embrace. He then began to cry. Touya held him, speaking the soothing words that were most likely not even heard over Yukito's sobbing.

-----

Deep within a dark, creepy place, Zoriel seethed. It wasn't meant to happen like this. He was simply meant to kill everything that revolved around that bastard Clow Reed and his magic. The same scene he had been seeing for years played through his mind yet again.

"I have a gift for you." He held out an ornate hair ornament.

"Why would I want a gift from you?" She said, blushing.

 "If you like it, keep it. If you don't, then throw it away." He said simply, and walked away.

Madoushi, HIS Madoushi, had kept it. She had even lingered after death to tell Clow Reed her feelings.

Zoriel paced, back and forth, mind tormenting between the past and present. She and Clow could never have been together, Madoushi was too competitive by nature, and was blind to all but the future.

"…but CLOW stole her heart, CLOW beat both of us in magic at the time, CLOW had the Asian look Madoushi loved so much, CLOW had his beautiful Judgment Maker to distract him while Madoushi admired him from the sidelines!! DAMN YOU, CLOW REED!!!" He angsted, throwing various living and nonliving objects around the room in a full-fledged hissy fit.

He stopped suddenly at one particular thought. Clow's beautiful Judgment Maker? He had just said that, hadn't he? There was NO way in all that is magickal that HE, Zoriel of the Sea of Tranquility, was falling in love with a construct of Clow Reed. No way in hell. Absolutely… not….

Yukito had since calmed down, and was laying in Touya's lap against the trunk of the tree. Sakura was a awake, sending all the magick she could manage to Eriol, while still trying to keep enough to support Yue. Touya picked up his head, watching Sakura carry the young mage over to where they were. She set him down with utmost care, like he would break at any moment. Truth be told, he already had.

"I did a check on him. He only has 2 ribs that aren't broken or fractured. That evil guy-"

"Zoriel." Yukito said distractedly, staring off into space.

Sakura blinked. "He told you his name?" She asked, stroking Eriol's hair as he breathed haggardly, but steadily.

Touya frowned. "That counts a challenge, Yuki." He said, petting Yukito's hair in a similar manner.

Sakura smiled a little at the two. Kawaii… She thought. "Have you felt anything from Yue, Yukito-san?" She asked with a note of worry in her voice.

Yukito shook his head. "He's out cold. Whatever emotions he felt really shook him." Was all Yukito said, leaning into Touya's touch and closing his eyes.

"How's the English brat?" Asked Touya, but Sakura saw through it this time. There was concern there, and she could feel it from Yukito as well.

"He's breathing okay for someone with 2 decent ribs left. I think he may have a punctured lung though." Sakura said with a frown.

Yukito made an affirmative noise. "With that many ribs broken, I would be amazed if some of the pieces hadn't stabbed through him. I know he is Hiiragizawa Eriol, but the part of me that is Yue is concerned for him. Even unconsciously, Yue's mind is constantly on everything that is Clow." He said, sitting up and stretching like a cat.

Touya narrowed his eyes at Yukito slightly, but said nothing about it. "Yeah, that Zoriel crunched him good." Was all he said.

As the 4 prepared to go home for a night rest, Yukito lifted Eriol carefully into his arms. Touya opened his mouth to protest, but was quickly silenced by the tear that ran down Yukito's face as he felt the crunch in Eriol's chest as he breathed.  The tear shone like moonlight.

That was a tear from Yue.
