Zoriel stood, seeing the three coming at him. He could see them look at
Eriol in shock. He smiled sadistically as he saw Yue.
Sakura paled. Eriol was with that crazy man... She looked him over. He appeared to have faired rather well, having only lost an eye. Wait... Eriol had both eyes when she saw him last... She shivered at the sight of it. She had always been a bit unnerved by eyes in general, but blind ones... she had to reisst holding herself. Poor Eriol-kun... but why has he joined with Zoriel? She thought sadly.
Yue looked at Zoriel with anger and a faintly sick feeling. Then his diverted to Eriol. The "young" man was missing his right eye, not wearing his glasses, and dressed head to toe in red velvet. He vaguely remembered Clow having an outfit like that, but shoved it to the back of his mind forcefully.
"Eriol-kun... why have you joined with him?!" Sakura gave a pained cry. The Dark Eriol looked from Sakura to Zoriel, blinking one eye confusedly. "He doesn't remember you." Zoriel tossed out carelessly. Sakura gasped, instictively running to Eriol.
"SAKURA!!" Yelled Yue and Touya in unison. Zoriel, however, didn't even react. Instead, his gaze fell on Yue. Zoriel smiled slightly as Yue followed Sakura over to where he and Eriol stood. Sakura growled angrily at Zoriel, pressing a hand to Eriol's forehead firmly. Eriol squirmed, trying to get away from the crazy woman. "Master Zoriel!! This madwoman is trying to crush my skull!!" He squealed, moving backwards, sending both him and Sakura tumbling to the ground. Sakura never faultered, pressing her hand into Eriol's forehead. Eriol gasped, gritting his teeth as memories flooded into his mind. He struggled further to get away. Suddenly he felt vines contricting him, preventing him from moving. He tried to look at Zoriel, but his Master was on his right side, and Eriol couldn't see him. More memories came, memories of an old man with long black hair like his own, two feathered guardians, two butterfly guardians... Eriol's eyes snapped open.
Yue watched as Eriol's eyes gained knowledge. The knowledge he was meant to have. Eriol's clothes turned into Clow's robes, Eriol's body having outgrown the ones he was previously known for. Sakura relased the Wood, and Eriol stood. Yue backed up a step instinctively. An angry Clow, reincarnation or not, was something not to be reckoned with. The very thought gave him chills.
"You...BASTARD!!" Eriol screamed, his staff appearing in his hand. "As I departed from the world in a beautiful symphony of CHAOS and DEATH...i'd like you to know that my suffering will NOT. GO. UNAVENGED!!!! The soul of Clow Reed will survive for ETERNITY!! I, Hiiragizawa Eriol, I, Clow Reed, HAVE SAID IT!!!"
Yue froze. Thst was not the voice of Eriol, that was the voice of Clow.
Ohhhh SHIT... Yue thought.
