Yaaaaay~! Finally, another chapter. I've been waiting you know. It's been a while. My apologies for my laxness, it shall probably happen again.
This is kind of the beginning of a new arc, if you get my meaning. The following chapters will be, how do you say, of this same storyline. SImply because it's late and I can't write anymore without passing out. And I want to post. I feel the need for some gratification. :D
Soanyways. I have forgotten what I've rated this, but this chapter does have the word c**k in it once and the word s*x in it quite a few times. In an amusing sentences. Not sexy ones. But you've been forewarned.
Also, I should probably say (as now is a good a time as ever) that this story will probably have quite a few spoilers for almost any CLAMP related work. My apologies for giving anything away beforehand without being awake of it. Also! I have also forgotten to partake in the usually common practice of disclaiming. (Excise me while I'm distracted by Yuki Kaijura singing in English..."Kiss me sweet, I'm sleeping in silence...' Meeeehhhhhh~~)
ANYWAY (My apologies for the low quality of the preamble. It's because I'm nearly dead.)
Sooo... The only things of CLAMP I own are the merchandise I have bought from various places around the world. I do not own any of the characters I am using. I'm not nearly that clever.
GET ON WITH IT
This one started as a group scene, but then morphed into a Touya and Yukito chapter. 3
CLAMPCLAMPCLAMP
Yuuko watched her charges eagerly from the front of the room where she stood. All the couples were gathered in one of the shop's more micelleneous rooms, perched randomly on cushions, chairs and each other. Her eyes narrowed as she noticed some of the less comfortable couples had separated and seated themselves on opposite sides of the room. Kurogane was sulking at the back of the room, leaving Fai talking eagerly to Kohaku at the front. Watanuki was sharing sob stories and Kazahaya, not noticing that Doumeki and Rikuo were checking them out from the corner where they lurked. But her disapproving grimace soon turned into a grin as she noticed Seishiro quietly molesting Subaru in a corner and Kokuyo discreetly sniffing Hisui's hair, not bothering Gingetsu and Ran as they murmured in each others' ears. Yuki was lounging casually in Touya's lap with a contented smile while Kamui sat at the foot of Fuuma's chair, thoroughly enjoying his head being massaged. Saiga and Kakei were looking suspiciously happy as they chatted to Ashura and Yasha, who had his arms around his small charge.
Just as Seishiro's administrations were about to become not so quiet, Yuuko clapped her hands, drawing all men/ angels/ demon to attention.
"Welcome to a special group session everybody! I hope you will learn much today~!" Yuuko lilted happily. There were various groans and facepalms at this, but they were soon silenced by a sharp look from their hostess.
"Today, we are going to talk about... SEX!" Yuuko sang the last word to help convey her excitement and approval of today's topic. She had some reservations about the readiness of some of her guests, but it was an important lesson they all needed to learn. Her worries were confirmed as many men blushed brilliantly (Subaru most of all) and other shouted angrily at the pointlessness of them learning something they'd never do. (Who else could it be but Watanuki?)
"Okay! First question. Raise your hand if you have had sex with the partner who is here with you, because we don't want to here about past experiences... Yet~!" Yuuko laughed, ignoring the embarrassed silence of the gentlemen.
Hisui and Kokuyo raised their hands, Hisui smiling cheekily and Kokuyo smirking smugly about the room, waiting for a challenger. Saiga and Kakei raised their hands as well, wearing pretty much the same smug expression. It seemed that these two couples were the only ones to have done the deed, but Yuuko politely waited for any later confessions. Down the front, Fai slowly began to raise his hand, grinning impishly. There was a commotion as Kurogane swiftly shoved his way across the room, ending his journey with a tackle that flattened the hapless mage. Kurogane was bright red in the face and there was a muderous glint in his eyes as he pinned Fai's arms to his sides while the blonde giggled uncontrollably at his cheeky trick. All he really wanted was Kurogane to sit with him!
Yuuko raised her eyebrow sceptically, looking hard at Fuuma and Kamui, who both endevoured to look elsewhere. She glanced and Touya and Yukito, who had abandoned their easy embrace and now sat awkwardly side by side, not touching. Sei-chan was eyeing Subaru suggestively while the young onmyouji looked ready to boil over with embarrassment.
Meanwhile, in Tomoyo's private cinema, Fujitaka let out a sigh of relief. His son was still pure, there was still a chance for him and Yukito to get married before anything happened. He only hoped they would hold out until it was legal. Tomoyo giggled sweetly as she watched the surveillance tapes from that morning, and learned the source of Saiga and Kakei's smugness which, surprisingly, came from some... excitement... in the kitchen. Fujitaka choked as he glanced at the screen Tomoyo was looking at and saw what kind of acts had been performed on the bench where he had just prepared lunch.
Out in the garden, Hokuto and Larg lounged, enjoying the sunshine and ever present sakura blossoms. She chatted casually with Soel, Sakura and Syaoran through Larg's jewel, sharing all the gossip she had learned and helpfully suggesting some fashion tips. Though, admittedly, most of the conversation was over Syaoran and Sakura's heads, and what they did understand caused them to blush quite brilliantly, Sakura even fainted once, at the idea of Fuuma and Kamui going all out on the roof of Yuuko's houes after a couple of cups of underage sake.
Yuuko quickly assessed her victims. Hisui and Kokuyo were released on the grounds of no one knew how an angeland a demon could actually have sex and it didn't really apply to anyone else in the room. Shuichirou and Yasha were allowed to use the library while Kohaku and Ashura remained to be... educated on human anatomy. However, Saiga and Kakei, being the only human couple to have completed the love act were to remain in the room as mentors, answering any questions the curious and virile young men had about... sex. While the mentors took care of the innocent couples, Yuuko and Tomoyo would hold private sessions with couples or, depending on the need, with individuals.
First to be privately informed were Touya and Yukito. Yuuko escorted the nervous pair to the room she used to see customers and quickly saw them seated and served some tea to smooth the whole experience. Raising her eyebrow delicately, Yuuko observed one of the longest standing canon couples in the known universes and wondered, frankly...
"What's been stopping you boys?"
Touya grunted angrily as white enveloped Yukito's form and Yue spilled forth, disgust pouring from his eyes as he floated above the table. Yuuko smiled at Clow's creation fondly, hardly noticing the death glare she was receiving.
"Believe me, it's not for lack of trying." Touya growled, earning himself a smack on the back of his head with an over-sized ponytail.
'You think I'm gonna let some puny human feel me up?" Yue shrieked unbecomingly.
Yuuko smiled. "Technically, it's not you he's..."
"Shut up! Of course it's me! It's like someone coming up to you and making out with your... your... House! Or something..." Yue trailed off after not being able to find a suitable simile.
Touya crossed his arms in annoyance, then looked expectantly at the Dimensional Witch, who, for her credit, looked sympathetically back.
Eventually, Touya broke through the icy silence. "How can anyone expect me to consummate my love for my soul mate if I keep getting cock-blocked by this jerk? It's getting frustrating."
"I've thought of the appropriate simile!" Yue jumped up from his sulk on the floor with a look of triumph on his angular face. "It's like someone molesting you while you're asleep."
Yuuko snorted a little, not quite believing the conversation she was having with one of Clow's most successful creations. Tomoyo quietly entered the room and placed a small plate of biscuits on the table, carefully avoiding Yue's fully erect wings as she did so.
"If I may so bold as to ask, Yue-san, perhaps there is something else stopping you from consenting to your alternate personality's loving relationship?" Tomoyo asked demurely as she took a seat next to Yuuko, also quietly apologising for her lateness.
Yue said nothing, but glared at various spots around the room, jerking his wings anxiously ever now and then. Touya raised an eyebrow at the intuative young lady before him and waited for whatever observed gem she had to unveil.
"Perhaps... Yue-san... Instead of the feeling of violation you say you have, it is instead one of loss, or one of being deprived of something. Perhaps, something akin to jealousy?" Tomoyo questioned as she poured tea into Yuuko's cup and then into her own.
Yue sputtered in agitation, silver brows crashing together and blue eyes flashing as Tomoyo hit the reality of his objections on the head. A single tear rolled itself down his flawless cheek.
Touya faceplamed.
"You mean you're jealous of Yuki? You mean this entire time you have been interrupting some of Yuki and I's most intimate moments at the least favourable moments because you're jealous?" By the end of his short tirade, Touya was on his feet and was clenching and unclenching his fists as he hunched his shoulders over.
Another tear slid down Yue's face, catching the sunlight as it dripped onto the table. Tomoyo helpfully handed him her lacy hankerchief and Yuuko swept around the table to embrace the poor Moon Guardian.
Yue stiffened in her embrace, but he knew that if anyone could empathise with him, it was Yuuko.
"I miss him. I miss Clow. They're so alike, he and Touya. It make things so much worse, only being able to half feel him. I can't stand it when they touch, it's too much like him..." Yue trailed off as he sobbed into Yuuko's undoubtedly expensive kimono. Yuuko lay her hand on his head and rubbed comforting circles on the guardian's back as he wept for his master, and if you had have blinked, you would have missed the single, shining tear that ran down Yuuko's cheek.
"I know. It's okay. He's gone, we remain for so long. I'm going to grant you a wish Yue, but you have to pay me something back."
"I know about the payments, what would be worth what I wish for?"
"Your earring. And a lock of your hair."
"I accept."
Magic flowed through the room, causing everyone's hair float mysteriously, then return to it's previous, unruffled position. White light glowed around Yue and Yuki stepped out of the wings, disoriented for a moment, but he scent of sweet tea and biscuits quickly brought him back to reality and the smiled at the world in general as he took a seat next to where Touya was standing and began to snack. Touya glared suspiciously at Yuuko, who casually took her seat and sipped her tea. Tomoyo smiled kindly at Touya and motioned for him to sit, which he did.
She began to explain in her sweet and even voice. "Yuuko has lessened Yue's awareness of Yukito-san's presence. Just as Yukito-san cannot really feel Yue is there, now Yue cannot really feel Yukito-san. Instead it is like he is asleep, and Yuuko has been so kind as to let him dream of his past and his master. He should not appear to anyone unless there is danger or he is called by name. I hope this helps your delicate situtation." She chuckled charmingly and mentally ran through the camera positions around the rooms where Touya and Yukito were staying.
Yuki smiled obligingly at the two dark-haired women sitting across from then, and then turned to Touya, who wore a face of complete relief. They grasped hands and rose together as one, then bowed as one, thanking the ladies for their assistance with all their hearts. They couldn't look from each others' eyes as they exited the room with instructions to send in Kohaku and Ashura next.

I got a little serious towards the end, I would apologise for the third time this chapter, but Touya and Yuki are my favourites and I feel very seriously about them, so I'm quite happy with this one :3
I got the idea for Yue stopping Touya from doing anything fun is from a story I read about Chikahito meeting other CLAMP characters. My thanks and credit to the author who wrote that story, I hope I don't offend them by borrowing this little gem, and also by not remembering the title of their story... ^^;
Goodnight everybody! I'm happy to hear your comments on this one. I like it quite well. Any lewd suggestions for Saiga and Kakei's advice is also welcome. As well as plotlines. I've lost all mine...
Support Gay Marriage YAY! 3 Love for everyones. I wonder if Yuuko could marry someone in her shop...? Like a ship's Captain can marry people at sea...
