1Kat: Dear Emerald: I'm glad you like! The idea literally smacked me upside the head and I had to write it. I'm so disappointed about Fujitaka though, because he's dead and apparently Yue made him into a puppet king before he died... sigh Oh, and oops! I forgot to put a disclaimer on my first chapter. Though hopefully you all know I don't own CCS.
Syaoran: scowl Otherwise I'd have fallen in love with shudder Hiirigizawa.
Eriol: pops up Yes? glomps Syaoran It's why I've been trying to convince CLAMP to sell it too her.
Kat: fangirl squeal Eriol! Could you do the disclaimer?
Eriol: clears throat Card Captor Sakura does not belong to the great and powerful Kat R. Fair for she is a poor starving college student/babysitter/writer and owns only this 7 pound laptop upon which she writes. If she did own CCS I would have been allowed to tie up my cute little descendant more then once.
Syaoran: faints
Kat: Eh heh. Sorry, but that one scene were he uses the strings on Syaoran? 1 word. Foreplay. And yeah you can kinda see how my slashy mind saw relationship in the show.
Oh, and dimono-anghel? To answer your question, yes Sakura is in this and yes this is extremely slashy b/c for some reason I don't take reproduction into the bargain. Sakura will end up with Tomoyo though, that's for sure. And it's definitely Touya/Yukito but as for Syaoran...I kinda turned Syaoran into a manwhore.
Syaoran: wakes up in time for her last line, sighs No honestly. Keep reading. She does.
Kat: Oh! And I'll have CLAMP chars not from CCS alone showing up. Just to fill out the rebels and the court. And yes, I do write many many yaoi pairings. Many.
"Well," Chiraru said as she looked around the room. "It's certainly not a dungeon." The Avalon rebels were admiring the wing in which they were being kept and the many beautifully furnished rooms. Princess Sakura was busying herself untying the ropes around her brother while others helped untie any other restrained Avalonians.
"Don't make a mistake, despite what it looks like we're still in a prison." Touya stated firmly as he rubbed his arms, attempting to get the blood to flow properly again. "We're under armed guard and will be kept under lock and key. The wounded are being taken care of by the same healers who destroyed my father." Silently to himself Touya added that Syaoran Li was apparently more then he had appeared to be and what worried him more then anything else was Li's separation from the rebels. He was being kept 'in his own rooms' separate from the injured, despite the seriousness of his pains, and separate from those in this wing of the castle.
The door to the main room opened and in stepped a guard followed by Prince Yukito, the king's brother. Touya was once again struck by the same feeling of a vice around his heart the others beauty striking a chord deep within him. "The King wishes to speak to you, Touya-san." Yukito spoke and smiled politely at everyone but with extra warmth for Touya. The activity in the wing had stopped everyone halting to look at the prince. Scowling Touya stood up and walked over to the guard and the royal as he came to a halt the guard brought out a piece of rope and Touya scowled fiercer. "There's no need for that corporal." With this quiet sentence the prince lightly gripped Touya's arm and steered him out the door.
When Touya entered the royal suite of rooms the first thing he saw was Syaoran. Tucked up onto a couch and glaring up at another man, presumably a physician from the way he was acting. The brunet's head had been bandaged and he wore his arm in a sling and had his left leg in a splint, his shirt had been removed and allowed his former commander to take in the bruising and the wrapping around his ribs. Li looked up at Touya and his eyes grew wide, reminding the prince of a frightened animal as he was walked by Yukito to Yue's study he never lost the gaze of the young man, until it was cut off by the shutting of the study doors.
"Li-san?" Akechi-sensei's voice startled Syaoran out of his staring and he turned to face the healer. The older man wore a kind smile on his face and adjusted his spectacles as he looked over some notes he had written. "You have in total 3 broken ribs and 2 cracked ones, your leg is fractured in two places but they were both clean brakes and so easy to set. Your arm was broken once and your shoulder dislocated, your wrist is also suffering from a serious sprain. You are terribly bruised and have several deep wounds. I am afraid that it will be bed rest and light activity for at least a month, even with magical treatment." Li nodded, knowing Akechi-sensei would be frank with him. Akechi was not a magician but was still allowed to work with the wounded and ill because of his knowledge of the human body and the fact that his herbal remedies worked very well. "I will be delivering the same prognosis to Yue-heika and Yukito-sama."
Akechi stood and busied himself with tidying up the supplies and equipment he had brought when summoned to see Li-san. Frankly, the older man was worried for the young warrior. He cared for Li-san, always had, Syaoran-kun was only a year older then Akira-kun; Akechi's nephew though noone knew that, and Akira and Syaoran-kun had been important to each other before things started to change and the boys innocent eyes were opened. Both youngsters still retained a small amount of that brilliant innocence but Akechi had to wonder; how long would direct attention of Yue take to ruin that last spark of childhood?
"Akira-kun's been worried about you. He will be returning from his trip tonight." And with this parting Akechi stood and left the room.
Syaoran sighed, shifting a little and wincing when the move jostled his injuries. He had hoped that if he was troublesome enough that the soldiers would kill him, and he knew several of them had been considering it before Ruby Moon showed up. Ruby Moon, otherwise known as Nukuru was a minion of Eriol Hiirigizawa a powerful mage who served under Yue. Syaoran had never considered Hiirigizawa a friend or at least, not the type of friendship he had felt with Akira-kun. With Hiirigizawa Syaoran always felt on guard and uneasy aware that despite his cheerful demeanor Hiirigizawa had an alternate motive for everything he did. Not like Akira-kun who was always so bright and cheerful that it made Syaoran's head spin and he could not control a smile around the other boy. It was one reason why Li had liked Sakura so much at first; she was always so genki it had reminded him of Akira.
Touya frowned at the lounging King and wondered just why he had been brought here. "Ah, Touya-kun. Sit, please." Yukito lead him to a chair in front of the monarch and Touya sat in it, even if he would have preferred to stand. Across the small table between them Yue smirked at him. "Wine?" Mutely, Touya shook his head. "Tell me Touya-kun, what do you know of Syaoran?"
Touya suddenly became aware of Yukito's hands planted on his shoulders and the powerful truth magic now pulsing through his body. His mouth opened on its own accord and the brunet shut it with a snap. As long as he kept his mouth closed... "Next to nothing." Touya growled and shut his mouth again. Yukito was powerful and the magic radiating down from his palms would make it impossible to lie or stay quiet, but he could probably still stay bend the truth a little.
"Oh. I am surprised that Xiao Ling would not tell you about his life. After all you were lovers, ne?" The sudden bluntness of the question shocked a 'hai' out of the other man and Yue smiled. "I thought so, but since your koibito did not enlighten you to certain facts about himself allow me." Yue took a sip of his wine and the power flooding Touya was cut off as Yukito removed his hands. "Syaoran is the last true child of the Li clan," Touya was shocked still staring unblinkingly at a smug Yue. "Ah, I see you have heard of them. The Li's were a powerful aristocratic tribe in the Middle Kingdom and they were eliminated by a rival tribe called the Tang and shortly the Middle Kingdom fell to chaos, so I stepped into to... mediate. Imagine my surprise at finding a six year old aristocrat trying to save his country from ruin, not only that but struggling to bring together the families who were branches to the Li clan and save them from falling apart. Syaoran-chan did not stop there though, he also took care of his cursed distant cousin Meiling spending sleepless nights researching a cure to her magic induced madness. I offered him a bargain, I would save his cousin, the leftovers of his clan, and restore order to his beloved country..."
"As long as he came to the Moon Kingdom with me and stayed here." Yue smirked at the stricken expression on Touya's face as he tried to imagine all those hardships piled onto a six year old, he had struggled enough with similar problems just this passing year and had succeeded no better then Li-kun. Still, it filled him with pride that his former lover had handled himself so well. "Syaoran leaped at the offer and came home with me and adapted to life in this castle. When he reached the right age Syaoran took on lovers."
"I'm guessing that would be you." Touya growled, glaring at Yue who merely took a sip of his wine utterly unconcerned with the prince's wrath. Touya was fuming, the kid was only seventeen for christ's sake! Touya knew that Syaoran had been on his own since he was sixteen, his lover had told him that much, which meant he would have been very young at the start of the relationship with that bastard.
"Yukito and I both enjoyed Syaoran's attentions, and he enjoyed himself too." Momentarily the prince of Avalon was stunned, his eyes widening at the implications. Both of the royal twins? Was it really Syaoran's choice? Or had he been forced into it. Though, knowing Syaoran, he might have been paying back his debt in the only way he thought he could; through his body.
Which put a whole new spin on the relationship that Touya had thought they enjoyed.
"I will let you return to your rooms now Touya-kun, you must be tired." Stunned and unseeing Touya allowed one of the guards to lead him back to the other rebels, completely missing Syaoran's look of a deer caught in headlights.
Author: Heika King? I'm pretty sure about my translation. God Bless Wikipedia. Also, if you didn't know, san is a common honorific roughly it means 'Mr.' or 'Mrs.' or 'Ms.' kun is used with superiors to inferiors, and freinds of the same social standing, chan basically means 'cute' and is a very intimate term. Ne is used when the questioner is sure of the answer, like 'right' is sometimes used in English. For example:
Li: You're a yaoi fan, right?
Author: And of course I am, so the questioner is sure of his answer. Koibito is a term for 'lover' and is often shortened to koi. I might also have the phrase airen used once or twice later b/c it's the Chinese form and Syaoran is from a foreign country.
Li: And note, the pairings have so far been decided as Syaoran/Yue, kami-sama why me? Past Syaoran/Yukito, which I don't mind too much, past Syaoran/Touya, shudder, and Syaoran/Eriol, shudder And possibly some hinted at Syaoran/Akira.
Eriol: pops out of nowhere, gives Syaoran a heart attack Also showing up will the Takeshi/Kentaro pairing from Duklyon, Fei/Korogane from Tsubasa Chronicles, past Tomoyo/Eriol (whoo hoo!) And definite Tomoyo/Sakura. From X/1999 Kat is debating Subaru/Sheishero and Kamui/Fuma, and a definite pairing to show up is from XXXHolic; Domeki/Watanuki! Don't know what the hell to do with Ruby Moon, so unless you want Kat to do something drastic suggestions are welcome!
Kat: giggle And uh... smirk Akira/Nokoru/Suoh from Clamp Campus Detectives!
Akira, Nokoru and Suoh commit sepukku
