Chapter 5: A Smokey Dilemma

By: BeautyandYue

Ruby snapped her rose-colored razor cell phone shut. (Well why shouldn't she have a phone? And Eli's rich right?) She began trying to get the attention of the waitress. "What is it?" Julian asked, as the red haired waitress came over to give them the bill, Ruby had a frown on her pretty- 'no, beautiful face.' He thought then shook himself where had that come from?

Ruby shook her head as she paid her half and Julian paid his half. They hurriedly walked out side into the bright sun. She ducked into a small alleyway. Julian said, "Ok, we're alone what's up?"

"We have a problem over at Senjiu High. Eli says to get over there as fast as we can." Ruby explained. Julian nodded. Wings appeared on the man and woman. Black and Ruby colored Butterfly wings for Ruby. Pure white angel wings for Julian. Yue shook his long, silver white hair out of his eyes and flew into the sky with Ruby Moon following behind. Ruby Moon continued where she had left off as they soared towards the school. "Eli said we are to stay out of sight but if Sakura or him needs help, they would let us know."

"Knowing those two, they will probably need both of us." Yue said flying into the cover of Oak trees' that lined Senjiu's side walk. Ruby laughed. Yue thought it sounded like bells'. Yue mentally shook his head 'what is this?' he thought 'still…she is a rather good fighter.' (Really, but I think that is Eli hadn't given her that power up in the final battle I think Yue would have kicked her butt! But then again that's my own opinion. -)

Ruby interrupted his thoughts "Eli wants us to look for a boy that has blonde hair, blue eyes, and wondering around where he's not supposed too and see what he's doing." A crash sounded. "Look!" Ruby pointed. Yue followed her slender hand and saw thick, black, smoke rolling out of an open broken window. Ruby was glad that those serious, soul piercing steel gray-blue eyes weren't look at her anymore but also at the same time she was sad that they still weren't on her. Ruby quickly grabbed Yue's arm when she saw him flex his powerful angel wings to carry him into flight. "You can't!" she cried somehow knowing what he was going to do.

"And why not?" Yue frostily asked never taking his eyes off the smoke filled school.

"Because you can't risk being seen. Also you would sense if Sakura was in trouble right? Right?" she told him fiercely, feeling Yue's well-muscled arm under her hand tense. 'Wait a minute. She thought when did his wings become beautiful angel wings?'

Yue relaxed and interrupted her thoughts "you can let go now." He said finally looking at her. "I'm not going anywhere."

She had the grace to blush and let go of his arm as if his arm burned. Steel gray blue eyes met pinkish red ones.

Suddenly a sparkle came floating over the chaotic schoolyard. Everything that the sparkling dust touched, that trailed behind the bigger sparkle, fell down fast asleep. Yue and Ruby Moon look up when the schoolyard was becoming quieter and quieter. Yue narrowed his eyes, "that's sleep." He said sounding puzzled. "Why would Sakura-" Yue cut off nearly pitching out of the Oak tree's branch as dizziness and pain assaulted his senses.

"Yue!" Ruby Moon cried catching him before he fell out of the tree.

"I-I'm alright." Yue said steadying himself with Ruby Moon's help still shaken. Then it hit him. "That's why Sakura sent out Sleep!" he said flying out of the tree. Ruby Moon followed suit.

"That's her signal." Came a weak voice behind them. Yue and Ruby Moon turned. Ruby gasped as Eli came up to them. He was a mess! He was covered in dirt, tears showed in his once spotless uniform, and twigs and leaves were tangled in his ebony hair.

"What happened to you?" Ruby asked as Eli came up to them and plopped tiredly on the ground.

"I found Rubius except I wasn't counting on the fact that he didn't want to be found." Eli told them. "We fought be he won and then ran off."

Yue was assaulted again with pain but this time it was a mixture of wooziness and darkness. He went down on one knee covering his eyes, as if to shield the pain, as the torture ripped through his body. Ruby was still standing by him and placed a small hand on his back to comfort him. The agony was so great that even she felt it. At last the pain lessened enough that he could stand once more. Ruby pointed, "go, I can take care of Eli and keep watch." Yue nodded and took off as Sakura's life depended on it, hoping he was not to late.

To Be Continued…

Sorry the chapter was so short but I will post soon to make up for it.
