Card Captor Sakura Fan Fiction ❯ Ruler of the Moon ❯ Chapter 7 ( Chapter 7 )

The next day, after awakening and dressing, Rakesh made his way out of his room. As like before, Yue was there to carry him down, and give quite a passionate kiss at the bottom of the stairs before Keroberus or Clow came down.

After breakfast and dishes, the carriage to carry the four to town came. Clow and Keroberus sat on one side of the carriage and Rakesh and Yue sat on the other. The carriage wasn't small, but Yue and Rakesh sat close to one another with very little room between them.

When the quartet arrived in town and stepped from the carriage they began their journey through different stores and were greeted by many people that knew Clow. They did not, however, notice the shadows that were watching them.

"There he is," the smaller shadow said to the two bigger shadows behind him. "We can't attack him here. Too many people are around. We'll wait until they split up and then grab him. He's still hurt so he won't run far." The shadows continued to follow the group of four throughout the town.

"Well, there are still a few errands I must run on the other side of town. Why don't you stay here K and rest while Keroberus and I run these errands. Yue, you stay with K." They all agreed and Rakesh sat down on a bench back from the hustle and bustle of the town with Yue next to him. Yue had hidden his wings so that no one accidentally knocked into them, so all he had to do was move his hair before sitting down.

The shadows watched the two and the smallest one gestured for one of the larger shadows to go around to the right while the other went around to the left to surround the bench.

It was getting late and the town was getting bare. People were at or on their way home for dinner. Yue and Rakesh still sat there talking and didn't notice the shadows coming closer. Suddenly there was a blast and both Rakesh and Yue were thrown some feet away. The shadows grabbed Rakesh before he could do anything. He franticly thrashed, trying to loosen the grip on his arms enough to break free and also to look around to see if Yue was all right. The big oafs grip never loosened but he could hear a struggle nearby. He was turned to the noise and saw Yue and two other shadows struggling.

Yue got far enough away for him to rematerialize his wings. He turned toward the larger man and fired his ice shards causing the man to cry out in pain. Yue hovered and drew his bow. He aimed it at the man holding Rakesh and, using his precise shot, fired. The arrow hit the man in the shoulder and caused him to loose his grip on Rakesh.

Rakesh stumbled forward and fell, grabbing his staff that he had dropped he called upon his magic. He pointed his staff at the three men who were regrouping, ready to attack him again, and called on the earth to give him strength. Chanting a spell, lightning suddenly shot out at the three men and they screamed out in pain.

Rakesh stopped the lightning, "tell your boss that if he wants me, he can come and get me himself." He spoke to the men and chanted another spell. The wind rose up and the three men were thrown against a nearby brick building, knocking them all unconscious.

Yue flew down next to Rakesh and asked, "Are you all right?"

"I'll be fine, but I think they will wake up with quite a headache."

Clow and Keroberus returned at that moment and, noticing the three unconscious bodies, said, "You seemed to have had some excitement today."

"Those are the men that were after me the night you found me. It seems that I am still a wanted man."

"Yes, you'll have to be more careful about where you go if someone wants you this much. Why is it so important that he have your magic when, no offense, there are magicians with much more magic than you possess in this world."

"He is holding a grudge. I cost him a lot of magic and he wants revenge. So in order to get that revenge he wants to capture me alive and drain my magic. Then he will kill me." Rakesh said with a somewhat down expression.

"Well, let's get back home and rest. By the way, I saw that wonderful display of magic. You are very talented."

"Thank you," Rakesh blushed a little at the compliment as the four made their way back to the carriage.

When they arrived at the house, Rakesh said, "I think I will head straight for bed. I am a little tired after such a busy day."

"Well goodnight K. Sleep well." Clow said while he walked to the study with Keroberus behind him.

"Goodnight Clow, Keroberus." Rakesh said as he started up the stairs. His ankle was a little sore after all of the walking, but he still made it a quarter of the way up the stairs before he felt arms around him lifting him up.

Yue flew him up to the top of the stairs and still would not put him down. Rakesh put his arms around Yue's neck and allowed the angel to carry him to his room. When Yue set Rakesh down he wouldn't let go of Yue's neck and drew him down into a long, passionate kiss.
