Ch 4: The Play: Pt 1. Yukito and Yue
A/N: *blinks then shrugs* I don't know....playful?
~~~~~~~Story Begin~~~~~~~~
Dark green eyes watched from the comfort of the shadows as the lithe figure danced. Back and forth, back and forth, never leaving the sights of the watcher, but never staying in one place.
Fascinated the being sat forward and picked up the small glass ball that held the beautiful image. With a low sigh another figured appeared behind the first moving in on the smaller figure.
A frown grew over the features as the smaller figure disappeared when the second came in. Gently waving the glove clad hand over the ball the smaller figure appeared in a whirl of feathers, the second figure quickly moved in on the smaller figure before they both began to dance.
Dancing as one, yet never touching each other. It fascinated the watcher how they could be so close, yet never touch one another. A smile graced the watchers face as he watched the dancers, both so beautiful alone yet even more magnificent together. A plan formed in the watchers mind before the ball vanished.
"Life is but a play. A wicked dance between fiction and reality. Only the best actors are allowed to over pass the truth. And grasp the bigger picture in the end."
~~~~~~~~~On the way to the Kinomoto household~~~~~~~~~
Touya frowned in concentration as he walked his mind wavering to the three new beings. His mind was a whirlwind and he was having trouble sorting through it all.
"To-ya?"
Ofcorse his mind immediately cleared and he glanced over at his companion.
"What is it Yuki?"
"Ah, you looked troubled is all..."
Touya allowed a rare smile to flit across his face, normal people wouldn't have even notice it for anything else but a twitch in his lips, but Yukito wasn't exactly normal, and even if he was he knew Touya enough to make out his expressions. He smiled back before taking a lick of his ice cream. Touya watched him a moment before turning to look at the sky.
"Yuki?"
"Hai To-ya?"
"...What do you think about them?"
"Them? Do you mean Toei-sensei, and Ryan and Ryu?"
"Aa."
He tilted his head and worried his bottom lip, not noticing just how much attention Touya was paying to that.
"Well.....they seem nice, but I think it's sort of suspicious them coming right when danger's due to show. I mean I know usually I wouldn't think like this, but Sakura-chan's dreams have never steered us wrong before....What do you think To-ya?" He turned when he got no reply.
He readied a pout but paused in the middle of his accusation that he friend wasn't paying attention. For Touya was staring right at him.
He blinked. "....To-ya? Are you o.k.?"
Touya blinked before looking up and into his eyes. "Aa. What did you ask me?"
Yukito kept his worried look but decided not to press, even though he could most likely pry it out of him, he'd rather not. He'd simply wait for Touya to tell him on his own terms.
"I asked you what you thought of them."
"Them? Them who?"
"Toei-san, and Ryan and Ryu! Weren't you even listening To-ya!?" He pouted and noted how Touya immediately averted his gaze.
"No, I heard you. I was thinking is all."
"So?"
"So what?"
"Ara! What do you think about them being here!"
"Oh, just what you said."
Yukito narrowed his almond eyes slightly his small pink tongue flickering to wet his lips. "Oh so you think it's a unique and fish stick flavored idea?"
"Yeah, fish stick." Touya mumbled trying not to stare at Yukito's lips.
"To-ya!! You weren't listening!!" He frowned lightly shoving him. "I spent all that time talking and all you must have heard was 'blah blah blah'!" He frowned cutely and turned away from him increasing his pace.
Touya sighed, he was definitely going to loose this argument.
"Yuki wait up!"
"Why? So you can ignore me again? Tell me To-ya? Why did you even ask me if all you were going to do is ignore what I said?"
Touya sighed, this was one of Yuki's rarer things, when his bond with Yue overlapped, it was mostly when he was mad and because he was, well Yuki, he didn't want to act on them Yue gave him what he'd like to call 'a gentle push' in the right direction usually leading to Yuki in his infamous ranting mode. Where everyone is wrong and out to ruin his life and the only person who wants to help him is a being trapped inside his body.
"Yuki I'm sorry." Touya replied catching the lithe boy by his arm gently turning him.
Yuki glared back at him, which was awfully cute, seeing as it looked more like an angry pout. He glared into Touya's eyes a moment before he sighed and smiled slightly.
"O.k. To-ya. I forgive you. But you'd best not ask me anything unless you're going to actually listen to me!" He chastised gently shoving him again.
"Fine fine, but do me a favor."
"Ara.....sure To-ya."
"Eat your ice cream before it gets all over my other shoe."
"Oh no!! To-ya I'm so sorry!! Why didn't you tell me!?"
"Kinda slipped my mind..." He sighed shaking his head. He wasn't dumb enough to start up another argument with guilt trips.
~~~~~~~~Kinomoto Residence~~~~~~~~
After Touya had reassured Yukito that the ice cream was nothing and that he could wipe it off himself, they had settled in his room to study, although to Touya's irritation he found himself studying his companion more than his work.
Although, he might add, Yuki -was- a piece of work. He mentally berated himself before he realized that an hour had gone by and the only thing on his paper was his name.
"To-ya? Did you get number 167?"
"...No." He sighed, Yukito simply nodded before sitting up on his elbows.
"What number did you stop on?" Touya looked at his paper.
"Name."
"To-ya! You didn't even start!"
"I did so, I wrote my name."
"To-ya! This is due in tomorrow!"
"I know."
"What where you doing that whole time?"
'Don't say thinking about you, don't say thinking about you!'
"Thinking..."
"About what?"
'Don't say about you don't say about you!!'
"Stuff."
Yukito arched a brow. "I see." He shook his head sending strands of gray hair into his eyes. "You should really start your homework To-ya. I'll be back I have to use the bathroom."
He scooted to his knees before standing and walking out. Touya let out a long suffering sigh and dropped backwards on the floor.
"Damn hormones..."
~~~~~~~In the Bathroom~~~~~~~
Yukito washed his hands; he glanced up at the mirror staring back into his Icy eyes before looking down. He had a lot of homework to finish and now he would have to help Touya so they could both be done.
He turned the water off and sighed. Touya had been acting weird a lot lately, seeming to be in thought all the time and avoiding answering him whenever he asked what his thoughts were. He frowned slightly.
'To-ya is being secretive again....I hate it when he does that...but I won't force him to tell me. I'll just let him know that I'll be here to help him if he needs it.'
He smiled slightly and dried his hands casting one last look at his blue eyes before looking down to put his watch back on.
He paused and slowly looked back up. Icy blue eyes, met his look, but the rest looked the same as it always did.
"What?...."
He lifted his left hand and watched in fascination as his reflection lifted its right, while his face showed confusion his reflection was expressionless. He placed his hand on the mirror and his reflection did the same.
As soon as his hand touched where his reflections was the mirror seemed to ripple and his reflection changed.
Short gray hair growing out and shifting to a snowy white rolling down his sides and to the floor, cherub like face turning sharper and more mature, almond shaped eyes narrowing to cat-like slits, slim shoulders broadening and glasses melting away to nothing.
Yukito sucked in a quick gasp of air, he was no longer looking at himself, but at the being inside of him, he was staring face to face with Yue. And as soon as there eyes met again Yukito's body pitched and he tumbled to the floor.
(I should end it here XD...)
(Nah I don't like
to die...)
~~~~~~~~~Back to the story~~~~~~~
Touya sighed, Yukito had been gone for over an hour and he knew damn well that there was no way he could have gotten lost. Yukito knew his house probably better than the architect did, and that was saying a lot. He frowned and stood up with every intention to see what was taking Yukito.
"Knowing him he's probably helping otousan cook, or letting Sakura fawn over him."
He shook his head as he walked to the stairs he paused when he heard muffled talking coming from the bathroom. He blinked and looked toward the door. It sounded a lot like someone was calling a pet. He frowned; it was most likely that 'Chinese gaki' again.
He walked to the door and was slightly surprised to find it unlocked, opening the door he realized that no one was there. He was about to close the door when he spotted a flicker of pink. Walking to the sink he realized that it was a pink watch.
He smiled slightly at the small pink bunnies on it, he had given it to Yukito as a joke, but the boy had kept it claiming that he actually liked it. He wore it every day since then. He turned to walk out when he saw a huddled figure in the tub.
"What the...hell?"
He walked over to the tub and pulled the curtain back, what he saw shocked him. A small figure sat in the tub hunched over, hands covering ears, and lips moving in a soft mumble. He recognized the figure anywhere.
"Yuki!? What happened!?"
Immediately he was on his knees and shaking his friend. Yukito didn't respond simply stared out at nothing still mumbling. Touya leaned his head in closer to hear him he only caught tad bits and snippets of his words.
"Not me....mirror...shouldn't be.....saw me...." Before he started it all over again.
"Who saw you? Who did you see Yukito? Was it Mirror Card? Yuki!? Yuki answer me!!"
Yukito stared down at the small watch Touya still had in his grasp. Slowly his eyes traveled up until he looked at Touya. Touya bit back a gasp and blinked. He was ready to stare into the almond shaped hazelnut gaze he was so familiar with but instead he was staring into wide icy blue eyes, tinted purple around the edges.
"Y...Yuki?"
"....What's happening to me?"
"I.....I don't know..." He watched in fascination as strands of Yukito's hair turned white and grew curling around his face.
"It hurts....it hurts so much...why is he doing this to me?"
Touya shook his head. "I'm going to get Sakura-tachi, you stay here!" Yukito simply began to mummer to himself again as Touya ran out.
Touya ran as fast as he could to the phone and dialed the first number that came to mind.
"Please be there....."
~~~~~~~~~~Somewhere else~~~~~~~~~
Tomoyo glanced back at Sakura, Li and Eriol. They were being so secretive, watching her like she was going to suddenly turn on them. She sighed softly and looked back ahead increasing her pace a bit. If they wanted privacy she would give it to them.
She walked ahead of them keeping to herself and allowing them to converse. She paused when she reached Penguin Park. Her eyes trailed over to the Penguin slide, sitting there was a small girl staring right at her.
She furrowed her brows as the girl simply stared, she blinked and the girl was near one of the penguins around the slide sitting on it and looking at her still one of her small hands resting over heart her expression looked pained. Before she could even move her cell rang.
"Moshi Moshi, Daidouji Tomoyo speaking."
"Oh thank kami!!" She blinked in shock.
"Touya-san? What is it?"
She looked to the others only to find Li and Eriol kneeling over Sakura, whom was sitting on the floor holding her head.
"Touya! Sakura fell down!"
"Is she o.k.!?"
"I think so; she looks a bit dizzy though."
"Oh! Something's wrong with Yuki!!"
"Yukito-san!? What's wrong with him?" Sakura had looked up at the name and quickly scrambled to her feet hurrying over to Tomoyo followed by Li and Eriol. "Wait I'm turning it to speaker."
She pressed a small button and the volume increased so the others could hear it.
"O.k. go."
"Something is wrong with Yuki."
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked panic in her voice.
"He's....changing."
"Changing?" Li asked holding Sakura up.
"Yeah...his hair...its changing colors and his eyes are a different color, he said he's in pain."
"That would probably explain Sakura's decrease of power. Yukito is using it."
"I need you guys to get here qui-"
"Ah!!!!!!"
"Oh no Yuki!!" Touya abruptly hung up.
Tomoyo looked to the others. "We have to hurry, that was Yukito-san screaming!"
~~~~~~~~~Kinomoto residence~~~~~~~~
The others needed no further prompting and before long they were at the house. Li Eriol and Sakura tensed when they reached the door. "What is it guys?"
"Strong magic..." Li mummured looking up at the bathroom window.
Sakura frowned and quickly opened the door hurrying in with the others at her heels. When she reached the bathroom she stopped spotting Touya sitting on the floor and another person staring into the mirror. She had to blink twice before she realized who it was.
"Yukito!?" His hair was grey but certain parts were long and white, his eyes were the same icy color Touya had seen and he was staring into the mirror.....and talking to it.
He turned when he heard Sakura. "You're here! And your o.k.!" He turned to the mirror and smiled. "I told you she was o.k.!"
"Yes I know."
The gang all blinked before moving into the bathroom, the voice was awfully familiar.
"Yue..." Sakura breathed.
Standing in the mirror as Yukito's reflection was Yue, his bangs were grey and his eyes were a narrowed hazelnut. He nodded to her. "Mistress, I'm glad you're alright. I thought for sure you would have passed out."
"I told you Sakura-chan was a lot stronger now!" Yukito chirped smiling.
"That you did." Yue mused looking back to Yukito.
Li blinked slowly before he slowly slid to the ground next to Touya. Eriol shook his head and walked over to them.
"How did this happen?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Living room~~~~~~~~~~`
The group was all seated in the living room, Yukito standing next to a full sized mirror from Sakura's room so that Yue could participate. Kero, Spinel and Nakuru had also shown up having sense the drop and raise of magic. Yukito had finished going over the incident and awaited the others thoughts on it.
"Well....I don't think that it's supposed to happen...right Eriol-kun?" Eriol frowned thoughtfully.
"I don't ever remember Clow making such a trick for Yue. But I'm sure that Yue and Yukito were never supposed to meet."
Li frowned. "Well if Clow is as much like you as they say then maybe it was a prank?"
Eriol shook his head. "Clow loved all his creations; I don't think he'd do anything to hurt Yue or Yukito, not purposely anyway."
Touya watched Yukito as the others conversed, he was staring entranced at Yue tracing his finger over air as if trying to trace his figure. A small smile flittering across his face every now and then, he was in awe at the creature that lived in him, never having seen him before. Yue simply watched him allowing him to make his observations.
A long time ago Yue would have coldly regarded him and told him to stop being so childish. But that was a long time ago, long before Sakura's innocent friendship made him more open and calmer. He watched Yukito with a look that one would give to an affectionate child, but still keeping his cool façade. Touya bit down the jealousy that was trying to make itself known and looked to the others.
Kero was trying to assist Nakuru in shoving sweets down Spinel's throat, Li was basically blaming everything on the newcomers while Sakura was quietly shying away from the idea; Eriol had gone into himself seeming to be going through his memory. And Tomoyo....
He blinked at her expression. Her face was void of all emotion and she was staring at a point in the wall.
"Tomoyo? Are you alright?" He asked, gaining the others attention.
Tomoyo simply kept the same look looking straight ahead. Sakura frowned and reached over gently touching Tomoyo's shoulder. She pulled her hand back as if she had been burnt. She stared wide eyed at Tomoyo before looking down to her bleeding fingers.
The others looked back to Tomoyo as she gasped her eyes going wide. Soon the whole house shook; everyone looked around in shock, the magic holders all tensing as they felt a wave of magic.
There was a rattling noise, Yukito thought to himself the rattling growing louder and louder.
Yukito slowly turned toward the mirror and had enough time to gasp in shock before the glass shattered shooting out toward him. The whole house turned black and a scream sounded. Before long the lights flickered back on to show the chaos the house was now in.
To the others surprise the only things messed up was the coffee table, and only because Nakuru knocked into it. Li helped Sakura to her feet, while Nakuru picked up the two guardians, Eriol helped the now normal Tomoyo to her feet. Touya had quickly gone over to the fallen Yuki only to stop dead in his tracks.
"I...don't believe it..." The others hurried over to see what had Touya so baffled and gasped in shock.
Lying on the floor was Yukito, now back to normal. That in itself wouldn't have been shocking if he wasn't curled in the protective embrace of the now normal Yue. Yue's arms were covered in shattered glass, and he was bleeding through the material of his robes. But Yukito was completely unscathed. He had saved him
"What...is going on?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Elsewhere~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The watcher smiled in delight watching the orb with adoration at the figure it was currently showing.
"The roles have been filled, and the star has been cast. The play can now begin."
A/N: Finite! XD

"Yeah, fish stick." Touya mumbled trying not to stare at Yukito's lips.
"To-ya!! You weren't listening!!" He frowned lightly shoving him. "I spent all that time talking and all you must have heard was 'blah blah blah'!" He frowned cutely and turned away from him increasing his pace.
Touya sighed, he was definitely going to loose this argument.

She walked ahead of them keeping to herself and allowing them to converse. She paused when she reached Penguin Park. Her eyes trailed over to the Penguin slide, sitting there was a small girl staring right at her.
She furrowed her brows as the girl simply stared, she blinked and the girl was near one of the penguins around the slide sitting on it and looking at her still one of her small hands resting over heart her expression looked pained. Before she could even move her cell rang.

She looked to the others only to find Li and Eriol kneeling over Sakura, whom was sitting on the floor holding her head.
"Touya! Sakura fell down!"
"Is she o.k.!?"
"I think so; she looks a bit dizzy though."
"Oh! Something's wrong with Yuki!!"
"Yukito-san!? What's wrong with him?" Sakura had looked up at the name and quickly scrambled to her feet hurrying over to Tomoyo followed by Li and Eriol. "Wait I'm turning it to speaker."
She pressed a small button and the volume increased so the others could hear it.
"O.k. go."
"Something is wrong with Yuki."
"What's wrong?" Sakura asked panic in her voice.
"He's....changing."
"Changing?" Li asked holding Sakura up.
"Yeah...his hair...its changing colors and his eyes are a different color, he said he's in pain."
"That would probably explain Sakura's decrease of power. Yukito is using it."
"I need you guys to get here qui-"

"I don't ever remember Clow making such a trick for Yue. But I'm sure that Yue and Yukito were never supposed to meet."
Li frowned. "Well if Clow is as much like you as they say then maybe it was a prank?"
Eriol shook his head. "Clow loved all his creations; I don't think he'd do anything to hurt Yue or Yukito, not purposely anyway."
Touya watched Yukito as the others conversed, he was staring entranced at Yue tracing his finger over air as if trying to trace his figure. A small smile flittering across his face every now and then, he was in awe at the creature that lived in him, never having seen him before. Yue simply watched him allowing him to make his observations.
A long time ago Yue would have coldly regarded him and told him to stop being so childish. But that was a long time ago, long before Sakura's innocent friendship made him more open and calmer. He watched Yukito with a look that one would give to an affectionate child, but still keeping his cool façade. Touya bit down the jealousy that was trying to make itself known and looked to the others.
Kero was trying to assist Nakuru in shoving sweets down Spinel's throat, Li was basically blaming everything on the newcomers while Sakura was quietly shying away from the idea; Eriol had gone into himself seeming to be going through his memory. And Tomoyo....
He blinked at her expression. Her face was void of all emotion and she was staring at a point in the wall.
"Tomoyo? Are you alright?" He asked, gaining the others attention.
Tomoyo simply kept the same look looking straight ahead. Sakura frowned and reached over gently touching Tomoyo's shoulder. She pulled her hand back as if she had been burnt. She stared wide eyed at Tomoyo before looking down to her bleeding fingers.
The others looked back to Tomoyo as she gasped her eyes going wide. Soon the whole house shook; everyone looked around in shock, the magic holders all tensing as they felt a wave of magic.
There was a rattling noise, Yukito thought to himself the rattling growing louder and louder.
Yukito slowly turned toward the mirror and had enough time to gasp in shock before the glass shattered shooting out toward him. The whole house turned black and a scream sounded. Before long the lights flickered back on to show the chaos the house was now in.
To the others surprise the only things messed up was the coffee table, and only because Nakuru knocked into it. Li helped Sakura to her feet, while Nakuru picked up the two guardians, Eriol helped the now normal Tomoyo to her feet. Touya had quickly gone over to the fallen Yuki only to stop dead in his tracks.
"I...don't believe it..." The others hurried over to see what had Touya so baffled and gasped in shock.
Lying on the floor was Yukito, now back to normal. That in itself wouldn't have been shocking if he wasn't curled in the protective embrace of the now normal Yue. Yue's arms were covered in shattered glass, and he was bleeding through the material of his robes. But Yukito was completely unscathed. He had saved him
"What...is going on?"

The watcher smiled in delight watching the orb with adoration at the figure it was currently showing.
