CHAPTER TEN – SOLITUDE

The next day was strange. Touya couldn't find Yukito anywhere. At lunch time he looked for him, went to his class and his friends told that he hadn't come to school today. After the class, touya went to Yukito's house and there was nobody there. When he turned his way home, accidentally he touched the door and felt something strange. A kind of flash. Something had happened and he knew it. He ran to his house.

"Sakura! Sakura!"

"What Touya-kun, what happened?" – said Fujitaka worried about his son

"Dad, where's Sakura?'"

"She went to Tomoyo's house and will sleep there tonight'

"I'm going there, don't wait for me!"

"Touya – kun, what happened?"

"It's Yuki dad! Something bad happened… gotta go!"

He took his motorcycle and ran to Tomoyo. Lot of things on his mind

"Yuki, where are you? Something happened, I know, I feel. Oh my! I don't wanna even think that something really bad happened to you…"

"Sakura, please, make a pose! Let me record you in this pretty cloth I made especially for you…please? The Card Captors Sakura has to show down!"

"Tomoyo! You can't change, can you? Shoran, am I pretty on this?"

"Ye-Yes Sa- Sakura…you are…gorgeous.."

"Oh thank you Shoran!" – as she kissed him shyly on the lips

bling – blong – bling – blong

"Tomoyo, there's somebody at the door. Who might it be? It's 10:00 pm!"

"Is there? Ok Sakura, you prepare the pose and I'll go check the door…be right back!'

At the door

"To- touya! What happened?"

'Where's Sakura?"

"She's in my room upstairs, I'll call her!"

"No! I'll go there… err…can I come in?"

"Of course Touya, come in, this way please..."

'Sakura, it's Touya, he wants to talk to you"

"Touya, what happened? You seem tired and worried with something…"

"Sakura, please do me a favor... look for Yuki's aura and find him to me, please?"

"Wha- what happened?"

"Yuki's gone! I can't find him anywhere, and I went to his house and I felt something odd, like if something bad happened…"

Sakura closed her eyes and some kind of shiny symbol appeared under her floating body. Now she was flying ( her aura) over Tomoeda, over Yukito's house, the Penguin Park. Suddenly she saw a full moon and a guy with three people around him. She saw a black puma with butterflies wings, a boy who looked alike a mage, beside him a girl, red eyes and long purple hair and beside her a guy, tall, with angel wings and a very long silver hair.

"Spinel Sun, Eriol, Ruby Moon and.."

"Yue!"

"What?"

"I know where Yue is! He is with Clow Reed and he is with his own guardians…he was beside Ruby Moon and seemed…cold…Just like the way he was before meeting you, Touya."

"Why is he with Clow?" – asked Touya feeling hurt.

"I don't know oniichan! Maybe…maybe he wanted to come back to his life before meeting you…Oh ! Sorry! I didn't mean to-"

"No! He couldn't! He wouldn't go back without telling me! It would be unfair! He-!"

"Touya looked down. He ran away from Tomoyo's house and went to his house."

"Why would Yue be with Clow? Why he left without saying anything to me? Is he…is he in love with him again? Yue…Yukito…why? Don't you love me?..."

He ran to his house and rushed to his bed. Throwing himself on it, he started to cry until he hear some knocks on his door

"Touya – kun? It's me, dad, what happened? You come from school in a rush saying that something bad happened with Yukito – kun and now you come with this face and without saying a word…"

"…"

"Can't you tell me?"

Touya stood up and unlocked the door allowing his father to enter in his room and in his life. They sat on the bed, looking to each other when finally Touya told

"Dad, you've always been there for me and I'm glad for that. So I'll tell you everything. I've been dating Yuki for over three years now and we crossed so many things and barriers to be together, we went through hard times and people that just couldn't accept the way we are, we went through prejudice and all kinds of stuff and I hoped we could be together forever, I wished that…but…but now, now he seems to be with someone else…maybe you know him…actually you are a half of the guy that has and always will have Yue's heart. I thought that I could substitute Clow, but I guess I can't. what makes me sad is that, although I try I can't be mad at Yukito, I just love him so much…but…(sobs)…but…if Yue is happy with him it's OK…now what makes me sad is that he just went without telling anything to me, like if it was nothing. I'm so sad! And angry!" – tears were now coming down his face

"Touya, I can't tell that I know how you feel because I am not you. I'm your father and all I can do is giving you some advice. I think that you might have a different way of seeing Yue cause I'm sure that, if he ran away to stay with someone else, he would have said it to you. I'm sure he loves you and that you mean a lot to him. Yukito-kun doesn't seem to be the kind of person that would do this."

"Sakura told me that he looked cold…just the way he was before the first time we met"

"Touya-kun, you changed Yue's personality, made him lovelier, more sociable and I'm sure he wouldn't like to back to that way before. Maybe you should go after him, to talk to him. Don't give up on him…"

"You're right dad! Tomorrow I'll go to that old house where Eriol used to live; maybe he might be there, even if I don't know what to say to him."

Fujitaka smiled at Touya, he was proud of his son and how strong he grew up

"Now we just have to wait until this solitude fades away…I'll be here…my son"
