Chapter 9

 

He lay sleeping in the moon angel's arms as Yue ran his fingers through Syaoran's' hair. Beautiful child. He was willing and never fought, so it wasn't rape, not quite, and even if it were, he didn't think he would care. Syaoran was his, after all…

The boy slept easily, the Sleep card's influence and his own exhaustion. Yue drew moon magic from him, after all…

“Beautiful…”

 

He woke up the next morning, sighing inwardly. This was becoming a routine, it seemed. During the day, Yue would listen to him play his flute or sing, and at night, would claim him in his arms…

He really, really ought to hate Yue for doing this to him. He really ought to… but what did it matter?

It was only lust, after all, and sex was supposed to make people feel good, so if it helped them feel better, in some small way, why would he deny it?

Right?

He noticed that the Sleep card had joined him, and nodded. It was all for the better… somehow, if he could become the Card Captor, that would be wonderful…

 

He no longer cares for us…

Sleep, that's not true! Watery admonished.

Why not? He hasn't spoken to you in a hundred years, almost, nor Windy, nor even Dark… and she's his leader, the leader of his moon-based cards… and you are two of the elementals… the two next strongest beneath the moon…

That means nothing in this case. Windy sighed.

Is Syaoran-sama nice?

Well, he treats us well enough, and we feed off his moon energy, now that Clow is gone… he doesn't notice, I think.

Isn't … wait, he doesn't notice? Sleep paused to think for a second. Odd. I see. So he… could he be the one, the Chosen?

Who knows? Cerberus-sama has never indicated anything…

Still, many of us are drawn to him.

Perhaps it is only his moon energy. Windy frowned. No, that would not be correct. We're cards, and we feel no pull, unlike the guardians…

Then shouldn't Ruby Moon-sama be drawn to him too? Watery pondered.

Perhaps, but perhaps not… he is of the Li Clan, eastern magic like Yue-sama…

 

I think Yue-sama really does love him.

Yue-sama will never admit he loves any but Clow-sama, but at least he seems to be getting over it.

Freeze, how can you say that!

He's been mourning for almost a hundred years! Even for an immortal, that's a long time The ice fish defended himself.

Well, you are correct… Windy sighed. Things are changing…

Times are changing, Watery corrected.

We shall be here to observe then, I suppose….

Perhaps…

 

Screams.

Syaoran ran to the window, staring… oh gods, the prisoners were fighting amongst themselves again!

However, this time, they seemed to have a common goal. He watched in horror as the castle began to go up in flames…

Create was only a book, and now that the Card was with him, the castle was slightly weaker…

They had never thought about using fire before, since the castle looked to be made out of ice, but Create was only a book, and books could burn…!

“Watery!”
He wasn't sure how he activated the card, or if it chose to work for him, but the spirit shot out the window, easily putting out the flames…

“Freeze!”

And ice crept upwards, repairing what had been broken…

Syaoran swayed a bit dizzily on his feet, not quite used to using this magic. Snow caught him before he fell with a smile.

It seems that it has already begun…

Indeed.

 

He has used the magic of the Clow cards…

“What? How could he... Mirror, are you telling the truth?”

Why would I lie to you, Ruby Moon-sama?

“How would Syaoran know how to capture the cards, Mirror? This is… This bears watching.”

I understand.

Mirror faded from Ruby Moon's Kingdom, reappearing near the castle…

 

She's coming…

Windy, what are we going to do?

Windy sighed. It seemed that she had been relegated to leader position, since Dark was absent. We won't tell.

But…!

If this is truly the way things are meant to be, it will not matter, right?

I suppose…

 

 

She frowned. The place was…. Almost alive, which was odd. The few times she had been here in the past, it had felt dead, cold and frozen… but now light sparkled over the glittering structure and she could have sworn that it seemed alive…

Hello.

Mirror jumped, only to see Voice standing next to her.

Hello, Voice. Is Yue-sama in?

Voice shook his head. I doubt he wishes to see you.

Well, I bring important information from Ruby Moon-sama.

In that case, I suppose… I'll find him…

Mirror followed Voice down the hall, until they reached Yue's throne room.

 

The moon guardian looked up, not pleased by the unexpected intrusion. “What is it, Mirror?”

I bring information from Ruby moon-sama.

“What does she want?” Yue asked. Mirror had to calm herself, trying to ignore the sight in front of her. Syaoran sat on his lap, a smile on his face, or at least she assumed it was a smile, almost purring as Yue stroked his hair.

…

He seemed wholly preoccupied. Still, Syaoran had at least three months more to complete his tasks. Perhaps he was just biding his time, trying to engender Yue's affections. If so, it was most likely a lost cause.

Yue didn't love anyone…

Ruby Moon-sama invites you to her castle…

“No. I've just returned from Cerberus's, and I am still unwell. Perhaps in a month's time.”

Very well, I shall tell her.

Mirror vanished with one last look at Syaoran, who was now blushing as Yue caressed him. Perhaps… it would be all right?

She had to believe that, somehow…

I see Mirror as just misguided, not evil. But Ruby Moon is insane
