Card Captor Sakura Fan Fiction ❯ Ruler of the Moon ❯ Chapter 9 ( Chapter 9 )

Chapter 9

It was raining heavily as I looked out into the field. I remember this dream but this time I can see a little better. In front of me, there is a man. His face is covered in shadow but I can make out certain details. His eyes are piercing black and glare at me as if looking straight into my soul. I feel a chill up my spine at his look. Over to my side I hear someone shout something to the shadow. I can see it is Yue but what is he doing here. I look back at the evil man and he something shoots from his hands straight for me. I don't know why, but I can't keep myself from chanting an incantation of my own and something fires from my hands as well. We are all thrown from the area and the evil man lands on something that pierces his chest. I can see Yue get up and start to come over to me to see if I'm all right. With his last breath the shadow man says something. I feel pain and anguish shoot through my body. Yue runs over to me and holds me in his arms. There are tears in his eyes and he speaks to me. It's soothing to hear his voice. I can also hear Clow say something. I don't know when he got here. The pain becomes too much and blackness consumes me.

Rakesh gasped and opened his eyes. His breathing had become labored and he couldn't move his limbs. He found himself in Yue's arms. Yue had a slight smile on his lips and Rakesh smiled in remembrance of their night of passion. He sighed as the dream came back to him and he knew something was wrong. Maybe Clow had been right when he said that the dream was a vision. If it was a vision then Rakesh knew he was seeing his own death. He didn't want to leave Yue but he didn't know if he could change his destiny.

Yue rolled over, releasing his hold on Rakesh. Rakesh rose slowly, so as not to awaken Yue, and slipped out of the bed. He put on an emerald green robe that he had gotten on the outing yesterday and went to look out at the night sky through his balcony doors.

The moon was in its last quarter phase and he knew that soon Yue would be at his weakest. Rakesh turned and looked at his moon angel. His beautifully pale complexion and his lovely silver hair made him look delicate and frail but one look at Yue's cat-like violet eyes told the watcher that he was a force to be reckoned with.

The lack of warmth at his side caused Yue to stir slightly and his eyes fluttered open to see Rakesh looking back at him. "Is something wrong?" Yue asked in an anxious voice.

Rakesh smiled to reassure his lover and said, "Nothing is wrong. I was just admiring the beautiful angel that seems to have made his way into my heart."

Yue blushed and Rakesh made his way over to stand beside the bed, his eyes never leaving his loves. He removed his robe and slipped back under the covers. As his body came in contact with his angel's, Yue remarked, "It's chilly out there. Let me warm you up."

Rakesh smiled slyly, the vision momentarily forgotten, and allowed Yue to warm him up. It was quite a while before either fell back to sleep.

The next morning, Keroberus went downstairs, following the delicious smells of breakfast. He noticed that it was only himself and Clow at the breakfast table that morning and he wondered where K and Yue were. Yue was usually the first one up.

After breakfast, Keroberus' curiosity was growing and he entered the hall, on his way upstairs, to see if they were up yet. As he placed his paw on the first step, Clow came out and asked, "Where are you off to Keroberus?"

Keroberus turned and said, "I was wondering why Yue isn't up yet and where K is."

"Don't worry Keroberus; they are sleeping in this morning."

"That isn't like Yue. He never sleeps past sunrise normally."

"He and Rakesh were up late last night. I don't think they want to be disturbed." Clow said to a confused looking Keroberus. He smirked and walked toward his study.

Keroberus stood in the hall trying to sort through what Clow had just said. It took him a few minutes, when finally a look of dawning appeared on his face and he followed Clow into the study. "You mean K and Yue are . . ."

Clow looked up from his desk, littered with papers, and smiled at his sun guardian. "They are happy and that's all that matters. Yue needs this as much as I believe Rakesh does."

"Well as long as he doesn't hurt my brother, I like him. They will be fine together."

Rakesh awoke sometime later to see that he was being watched. He looked into the lovely eyes of his companion and smiled. Yue smiled back and leaned forward to kiss his love. Rakesh tilted his head to the side to fully partake of the kiss. When Yue finally pulled away he put his head on Rakesh's shoulder, facing his neck and whispered, "I love you."

Rakesh barely heard him but he smiled widely and said, "I love you too my Moon Angel," as he pulled Yue's head up to face him once again and bring him into a passionate kiss.

This time when they pulled away they both heard the unmistakable rumble of Rakesh's hungry stomach. They both chuckled lightly and pulled away from each other. They rose and dressed, not without a few more kisses in between, and made their way out the door.

Rakesh's ankle was not bothering him at all anymore and neither were his bruised ribs. He could have walked down the stairs with no problem but Yue carried him down anyway, not that he complained or anything. At the bottom of the stairs they exchanged one final kiss before they heard voices behind the door leading to the dining room. Noticing where the sun was told the two lovers that it was near noon and lunchtime.

Yue opened the door and the two of them walked into the dining room. Clow looked up and smiled at the two, while Keroberus looked at Yue and said, in a teasing voice, "Have fun?"

Yue glared at his brother while he took his usual seat. Rakesh simply smiled and sat down, noticing that his place was already set and before him was his lunch.

After lunch and dished the four made their way to the study and spent the evening in polite discussion and quiet reading time. The next day they had planned to go on a picnic and so went to bed early to make sure they arose early enough to go on a little walk. Yue slept in Rakesh's bed, in his arms, and together they slept peacefully through the night.
