Butterfly Wings
By Pseudonym Sylphmuse
Author's Note: I have been fantastically amazed at the number of reviews I received and I promise to answer all of them at the end of the chapter. I am terribly sorry for not posting up a chapter soon enough probably, but I just couldn't figure out any ideas. But now as I still have writer's block, badly I will still try to write the next chapter. And by the way this will be Yukito/Yue's POV.
Summary: You know it.
Chapter 4
A Walk To Remember: Part II
After Eriol was knocked unconscious by Tomoyo's blow, to my surprise it was Tomoyo who became worried about him first. I knew I wasn't the only one of whom was in shock when one minute she was vexed and past her limit because Tomoyo was now as compassionate and sorry as a veritable saint, Nakuru exchanged a glance of surprise towards me.
As well as shock—I would have to remember that when she became surprised she would widen her eyes a little and cock her head to the side a fraction of an inch. I shook my head, I should not be thinking like this. After all Nakuru was just a friend.
When Eriol fell, Tomoyo had a look of savage enjoyment and triumph a look that I had never seen before but I will pray that I will never see it again. But after a few seconds and Eriol did not pop up in his usual annoying manner, Tomoyo fretted.
"What have I done? What have I done," she cried. Her hands were shaking as they nervously clutched the starched white skirt she wore. "I meant to hit him yes but I didn't want him to be unconscious for so long." She had ran towards Eriol at the a speed that would've further astonished me before but now was not even comparable to the swiftness she had suddenly come upon when a goal was to be met. Especially a goal of vengeance against Eriol, at least that was the only goal in running that I had ever seen displayed.
Eriol had only been unconscious for a few minutes. Nakuru and I ran to catch up to her. A muffled groan was emitted from the crumpled form before us and then Eriol sat up, his eyes lurking with a mischief he still felt. I had a feeling that it would not bode well for Nakuru, Tomoyo, and I... nor Yue.
"Hello, Dearest Plum Blossom with beautiful aim when it comes to the tossing of sharp shoes," was the first sentence out of Eriol's mouth. With a cheeky smile to boot, that seemed to cause an annoyed look to cross the 'dearest plum blossom', Tomoyo's face.
"This 'dearest plum blossom' will next time try to aim harder so that the idiotic blue magician can be unconscious for an hour," Tomoyo retorted, with obvious relish.
Eriol flinched but he continued in his vexing revelries with to all appearance a smile filled with cheek. "And my dear Nakuru, why did you never introduce me to your handsome beau? My, my, my before long I'll get to hand you over in marriage to this dutiful young man."
Nakuru's face crimsoned, in anger or embarrassment I could not tell. "Well this dear Nakuru will happily help to the gratifying duty by the name of Humiliating and Torturing Eriol. With a president of course in this guild, Tomoyo would you oblige with the honors?"
Tomoyo grinned showing perfect white teeth with sharp canines. "Well, I must say I will be so happy to oblige in joining such an affirmed guild of soon-to-be containing a reputation of sadistic show of gutting Eriol. But of course I'll need a vice president also, would you do the honors Nakuru of filling in this position?"
Nakuru also displayed pearly white teeth, rather cute to my mind making her look like a fox spirit up to mischief. "Maybe we'll ask Syaoran and Sakura to join too, I know Syaoran would love to be in the position of our esteemed Torturer." She linked arms with Tomoyo.
The two happy chattering members of the guild against Eriol luckily did not notice Eriol send a look of pure fear up to the heavens. Or they would have been very cheerful to drag him into their 'examples' of the correct way to torture Eriol. It was then that this conniving sorcerer, one of the most powerful second only to Sakura and the person that created Nakuru bolted like a scared deer. His eyes behind their glasses widened, making him very much look like a deer caught in the spotlight.
It was then that Tomoyo seeing such a look, like the huntress she could be took on a fierce determination of sadistic views against him also bolted in a speed that was only rivaled by Eriol's panicky one. "Bye, Nakuru!"
Nakuru laughed, a laugh filled with hopeful events to come... against a now enemy that would soon become the intended victim of her guild. I did not very much like that laugh and it was then that I decided fully that I would never I hope anger Nakuru nor become her archenemy. I had too much to lose and I didn't want to end my life yet and especially not in the impeccably efficient hands of Nakuru. After a laugh of known triumph she whirled towards me.
I instinctively backed away.
Nakuru giggled in an innocent fashion except her eyes showed anything but innocence. "Why Yukito you're looking very well today."
Now I knew of Touya's description of honeyed poison tone a description that I until now had failed to acknowledge. "Thank you, Nakuru."
Behind a tree a dark-haired young man shivered and whispered, "Yukito you're in for it this time. I'll help in this affair as best as I can and I've long since known of Yue's secret behind his fascination. But in this case, Nakuru's going to force your hand, Yue in this game of closing in of yours."
And a slow smile began to form on her vibrant face. "Now, Yukito you wouldn't happen to have any ambitious plans now would you? I mean it would be so lovely for us to have a treasurer in our guild, you can hoard all of the info on our battle plans, money, and victories."
"No," I told her. "No."
She shrugged, but I knew that I may have won the battle but it would be a long shot in the war. "All right."
And I shuddered.
Nakuru never to stay in a serious mood suddenly made a leap into the air and turned around in the middle of leap towards me. "How about a race Yukito? Last one to reach the manor is a rotten guardian."
I never knew such a simple sentence could make Yue become so riled. There were disadvantages to this race I knew being that I did not know where Nakuru lived exactly but that did not seem to bother her.
"Ready, set, go!" she shouted and ran.
So did I, or not so much I as Yue. I was only the unwary observer caught up in the race as Yue fairly flew in the air for I could not remember a time when one foot even moderately touched the air.
Nakuru not to be beaten, ran quickly her limbs smoothly following the other in an endless sequence. It was an amazing display to see the little acts she performed while she moved to speed herself up. She would land near the tip of her toes like a ballerina but in such a way it helped leverage her up faster and give her more distance whilst she ran.
As I, as Yue ran I found that I felt nothing absolutely nothing. I could feel the movements or rather just know of them but I was not the one directing them. It wasn't long before we neared Nakuru's home and indeed it was not just a common house but a mansion towering above in between two hills. If I had still been in control of my movements I would have skidded to a stop.
But I wasn't in control now was I? I never knew Yue had such a competitive streak as it was he was the first to touch the door. Except he didn't just touch it. The door swung open and the next second it was not there. I had fallen down accidentally.
And I think there was something moving under me.
Author's Note: I'm sure everyone can guess who it is under Yukito (or shall we say Yue, eh?). I hope this was sufficient enough for both reviewers and readers. Thank you for reviewing everyone!
Ginny-Star: Thanks! I tried to do my best writing my stories, by the way I'm a dudess not just a dude. I've put too much effort in writing this to leave it off, plus I'm further in promoting more Yuki/Nakuru fics, too few!
Angel-wing: Yes, aren't Yue and Ruby Moon just cute next to each other? With Ruby's vibrant red next to Yue's light white and violet, the two are wonderfully matched as well as a pretty picture.
SwetSweet: Yeah, I was wondering how people would react with my uhh more than composed Tomoyo, but I wanted to make her a bit more human. And Eriol as the annoying correspondent in setting up Tomoyo traps makes it more realistic. I wanted to make them all funny and realistic in a human way.
Ophelia Winters: Hmm, I wonder maybe next in a few chapters I should have a team in soccer for girls in Tomoeda, eh? It would be interesting to have Syaoran and a few of the others to see Tomoyo as more athletic. After all didn't Sonomi compete in the Nationals somewhere in CLAMP's manga? At least it should be that way if my mind is still working correctly.
Chihiro: Thanks for adding this story to your favorites list! I'm touched, really I am, these reviews mean the world to me even though at times I have to write through writer's block *cringe*. Hope this chapter was good enough!
Whoops: I'm hurrying! I'm hurrying! Tell this to my muse—it just won't work with me these days.
Sam: Akizuki = autumn moon, I must remember that. Thanks for informing me of this! At least in the chapters before I told somewhat of the moon, eh? ^_^
Yukoma: Thanks! Hope to see your review after this chapter soon!
Star-chan: Hehehe, your review amused me very much. Reading such conversations have always been an asset to me!
Elenaholyfire: Tomoyo being somewhat uhh distracted by Eriol (even though he did catch that and in the next chapter teases Nakuru a lot) did not notice even though the evil magician there *pokes Eriol* noticed quite fine.
KasumiDestruction: Thanks! I wish too there were more fics with Yue/Ruby Moon, they're such a kawaii couple.
Jaid Skywalker: I know, I'm going to add more Eriol/Tomoyo scenes, they're just too funny at times! My fingers beg for humor scenes whilst I type at times.
Winnie: Yes, licorice especially black licorice *shudders* just don't want to eat it. Especially the smell... gives my stomach flip flops. By the way can you inform me of what ROFL stands for? I haven't gotten around to asking my friends what it is yet.
Ich Liebe Dich: My first reviewer for chapter three! I'll post these chapters as quickly as I can!
