Under The Stars

The Church

Yukito looked at his clock. 8:00pm. He decided it was time. Yukito walked out the door and locked it. He slid the keys into his pocket. As Yukito walked towards the church, he felt the cool night air it brushed against him. He was nervous.

Nakuru looked at her watch. 8:10pm. She decided to go. Nakuru left the house to Suppi and started to walk towards the church. A cool breeze made her long hair sway. She walked on. She was nervous.

Yukito was sitting on a bench outside the church. He looked up at the church clock. 8:15pm.

#Where could she be?#

I wouldn't worry, she'll be here, trust me.

Yukito waited for a couple more minutes then saw a blurred shape moving towards him. It stepped into the moonlight and it was Nakuru.

"Konbanwa Yukito"

"Konbanwa Nakuru"

"So...what are we going to do now then?"

"Er...I think Yue's getting bored...I'm just going to let him out for a while..."

"Ok...same here..."

Yukito and Nakuru both went off in different directions.

Finally I'm allowed out!!!

#Yeah, but only for tonight, Clow wouldn't like you out for too long without a good reason...#

Yeah, yeah, whatever, now let me out!

Yukito closed his eyes. He focused on Yue. Yue focused on freedom. A blinding light flooded the area. When it faded, Yukito was gone and a tall winged man stood in his place. Yue stretched his wings out along with his arms. He flicked his fringe out of his eyes and then went in search of Nakuru...or Ruby Moon.

When Yue walked out to the bench where Yukito and Nakuru had been, he saw Ruby Moon playing with her long red hair.

She looked up and smiled. She then got up and walked over to Yue. Both embraced in a hug, it was a long time seen they had seen each other.

"My, my Ruby Moon, still as beautiful as ever!"

"And you Yue, still as charming"

Both smiled and Yue gestured to the roof of the church.

"Shall we?"

They both spread out their wings and flew upwards. They flew up and over each other swirling round and round. For both of them it seemed a long time before the got to the roof.

Slowly they landed on the rooftop and sighed. Both were happy to see each other.

"Yue look at the moon, it's gigantic!"

"Yes, very romantic if I say so myself"

Was he hinting then?

OH I hope that hint wasn't too big or too small!!!

They then realised the silence between them and they both tried to think of conversation.

"So, how do you like being Nakuru?"

"OH, she's great, how about Yukito?"

"Oh he's fine as well"

There was yet another silence. Despite the fact that they had not seen each other in a very long time, they were both speechless.

"Sumimasen Ruby"

"Nani?"

"It's just...we don't seem to have anything to say to each other...I have a reason...do you?"

"Yes, I have a reason, but what is yours?"

Both were silent for a moment then at the same time...

"Ai Shiteru"

"Ruby..."

"Yue..."

Yue took Ruby's hand...

"I never knew Ruby...I'm shocked to find that you feel the same way about me..."

"As was I"

With that, Yue looked into Ruby's eyes...he leant forward and kissed her. Ruby was slightly surprised at first but when she realised what was happening, she followed his lead. To them, this kiss seemed to last forever. Finally they broke apart, Yue took Ruby's hand again, he smiled then, along with Ruby, ran off the roof. Although Ruby was slightly shocked, her wings seemed to know what was happening and she flew along with Yue.

They flew over all the houses and over the park. They flew high in the sky and all the while they were laughing. A relieved laugh. It felt good for them to know that other loved them in return.

Finally they landed and smiled. They looked at the church clock. 10:00pm.

"Well then, I best get back, Suppi will be waiting"

"Yes, I need to go back as well"

With that, they walked off again. After a while, Yukito walked to the bench and Nakuru went soon after.

"Ok Nakuru, shall I walk you home?"

"Yes please Yuki!"

Yukito walked Nakuru home and then went back to his house. They were both pleased.
