Card Captor Sakura Fan Fiction ❯ Silver-eyed Monster of Jealousy ❯ Chapter 9 ( Chapter 9 )

Chapter 9.

The silence in the room was incredibly thick. Not a sound could be heard in the place, except for the heavy breathing coming from the two young men, standing in the middle of the room, glaring at each other. A stray wind blew and the leaves rustled loudly outside.

Touya's eyes were open wide as he stared into Yue's silver ones, whose were narrowed to slits.

"What the hell is going on?"

Touya asked finally. He was beginning to get a little apprehensive standing this close to the man who had stirred strange feelings inside of him.

"That's what I want to know. What the hell is going on?"

Yue said through clenched teeth. Touya had to step back a little by the force in his voice. He took a deep breath.

"Listen man, I don't know what your problem is ........"

"Ha!"

Yue gave a sarcastic laugh which was truly out of character for him.

"You know exactly what is wrong here."

Touya raised an eyebrow and Yue rolled his eyes.

"You asked that 'girl' to go out with you."

Yue spat out the word "girl" as if he couldn't bring himself to say her name.

"Yeah. So?"

Touya raised his hand to run it through his hair. That's when they both realized that his wrist was still grasped in Yue's strong grip. He dropped his hand immediately, and both of them took a step back.

"You.....you cannot go out with her." Yue said once again. "Don't you know how that woman tried to hurt Sakura? Even though it was all for show, I still don't trust her to be anywhere near mistress."

Yue's voice was raising in tempo and Touya's temper was slowly bubbling to surface.

"Whatever happened in the past, remains in the past." Touya answered through clenched teeth. "I know what went on, even though it was all behind my back. Plus, my dating Nakuru has nothing to do with Sakura. And whoever said that it was actually a da......."

"What happened in the past stays in the past?" Yue said with a smirk, interrupting him. "Then why is it that you can't seem to let go of the fact that Syaoran attacked Sakura because of a misunderstanding? Why can't you allow them to be together and let Sakura be happy?"

They were practically screaming at each other now. The last sentence seemed to snap something in Touya. He grabbed Yue by the front of his robes and crushed him violently in to the wall. Yue winced horribly at the hard impact. Touya placed both his hands on the wall right by Yue's head and leaned in dangerously close. His eyes were shooting sparks and his face had gone red.

"Don't you dare talk to me about Sakura's happiness. She's MY baby sister and I'm perfectly aware of what makes her happy or not."

A sense of deja vu hit Yue. This had happened before. They were having a similar conversation, at the end of which, Yue and Touya had ended up locked in a passionate embrace. Even now, Yue watched as Touya leaned in and spoke in a deep, throaty voice. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply. His senses were hit with a rich musky scent that seemed to be emanating from Touya. Uh oh, if he didn't want a repeat of last time, he had better change the subject, Yue thought frantically. The trouble was, Yue wasn't sure that he didn't want a repeat of last time's events.

He opened his eyes and looked up at Touya, painstakingly fully aware of the fact that currently he was encircled in Touya's arms, and that he could feel the heat coming from Touya's body, and absorbing into his. He then took a deep, shaky breath and spoke in a, what he hoped, was a calm tone.

"All arguments aside, I think it would be a good idea if you called Akizuki and called this whole thing off."

A devilish smirk slowly spread over Touya's face.

"I don't know why you're so suddenly interested in my social life." Touya said in a low, playfull tone, enjoying the blush that creeped over Yue's face. "Maybe, the reason you don't want me to go out with Nakuru is......." he drawled out, smirking at the perplexed expression in Yue's eyes. "..... because you're jealous."

Yue snorted out loud, folding his arms over his chest. His arms were really close to Touya's chest in this position, a fact that didn't escape Yue's attention.

"You stupid, buffoon. Why in the heavens would I be jealous of her?"

Touya's eyes widened with a surprise, and a full blown smile replaced the smirk. He tilted his head to one side.

"Actually, I was going to say that you were jealous of 'me' for going out with her."

Yue's felt his heart beating erratically in his chest, as all the blood flew to his face. Yue blushing furiously was something Touya had never seen before, and he quite enjoyed that look. It made the stoic guardian appear incredibly vulnerable and incredibly cute.

Yue was now fidgeting in his spot, looking everywhere but at him. Touya decided to rile him up a bit more, if only to take pleasure in his reactions.

"Well, just so you know, I won't be calling anything off. I'm going to take Nakuru out, just like I promised her."

His declaration had the desired effect. Yue huffed loudly and looked up at him indignantly.

"Fine. Do whatever you want." He raised his chin defiantly.

Touya was looking at him intently. His eyes were a lot softer now as he gazed at him. To Yue's intense horror and extreme pleasure, Touya's eyes shifted to his lips, lingered there for a few seconds, and then came back to his eyes. He bent his head and brought his lips closer to Yue's.

"Oh, I have every intention of doing what I want." He whispered aginst his lips.

Yue's eyes slid closed and he softly licked his parched lips. Touya's body leaned into his, and just as he was about to breach the distance between their lips, the front door opened with a slam and Sakura's cheery voice called out.

"I'm home guys! Oniichan? Yukito? You guys still here?"

*~*~*

AN: Just wanted to add that I was going to leave it there, and have them interrupted. But I had to change my mind, since I didn't want a mob of bloodthirsty readers after me ^_^ heheheheeee *nervous laughter* So read on, and see what happens ^_~.

*~*~*

Touya brought his head back with a jerk. He loved his sister with all his heart, but at the moment, he couldn't help but be really irritated with her. If only she had come in two minutes later. He looked down at Yue, who was looking up at him with wide eyes, and slightly parted lips. All right, make that five minutes. It was time to take drastic measures.

He took a deep breath and grabbed Yue by the arm. He dragged the bewildered guardian into the kitchen, and once again pushed him against the wall, but this time very softly. He bent his head and captured Yue's lips in a searing kiss. Yue's small gasp of surprise was swallowed by his own lips, as he continued to kiss him thoroughly. Touya was surprised and happy to notice that Yue responded to him, by the way Yue had clutched the front of his shirt and returned the kiss.

Before thing could get too intense, Touya pulled away from him with a deep sigh. He looked down at the slightly panting boy, who was supporting a deep red flush and had moist full lips. Touya dropped a very soft kiss at the corner of his mouth, grabbed a soda from the counter and walked out into the living room, whistling a happy tune. Thereby leaving the guardian to collect himself.

*~*~*

"..... O.K then. I'll pick you up tomorrow at 5 o'clock."

"Yeah sure. See you then."

The young lady turned the phone off and fell backwards on the bed. She then grabbed a pillow and placed it on top of her face, as if to suffocate herself. She then threw the pillow aside and got up. She picked up the phone and quickly dialed a number.

*~*~*

Tomoyo was lying belly-down on the carpet in her room, if front of her big screen t.v. She was busy editing some latest footage she had filmed of her friends when her cell phone started ringing loudly.

Without getting up, she flipped it open and before she could say hello, she heard a loud frustrated groan from the other end.

"Hi Meiling. How's it going?"

"Oh me, I'm just feeling peachy." Came the sarcastic reply.

Tomoyo couldn't hold back on that and gave a loud chuckle. She sat up straight with her back propped against her bed.

"All right. What happened?"

"What happened? That stupid, asshole asked me out again. And me, being the humongous idiot that I am, said yes."

Tomoyo held the phone away as Meiling yelled.

"All right Meiling. First, do me a favor. Go to the kitchen, grab a bag and take two or three deep breaths. Because quite frankly, you're losing it."

"Ha ha, very funny." Meiling said, much calmer now.

"But seriously Meiling. I know you don't like the guy. Why didn't you just turn him down?" Tomoyo asked with concern evident in her voice.

"I would have, but he kept on insisting for me to give him one more chance. Boy, did he sound desperate. I just said yes to shut him up, otherwise I'm sure he would've gone on and on all night."

"Oh Meiling. Somebody's got it bad for you." Tomoyo teased. "So, what'd you call me for?"

"What? Oh well, let's see. HELP ME!!"

Once again, Tomoyo held the phone away from her ears.

"Hmm. All right Meiling. I'll see what I can do. I'll give you a call tomorrow."

"All right, Tomoyo." Meiling cheered. "I knew I could count on you. Talk to you later. Bye."

Tomoyo hung up the phone. She picked it up again a few seconds later and dialed a number. When the phone was picked up from the other end, Tomoyo was once again hit with loud noises. But this time, they were more argumentative.

"Hi Tomoyo." Sakura greeted from the other end.

"Don't tell me you're having a slumber party without me, Sakura." Tomoyo said in a pouty tone. Sakura gave a laugh.

"Yeah. A special kind of slumber party, that requires you to be only 6 inches tall, have the ability to fly and also you have to be a guardian of some sort."

Tomoyo laughed out loud.

"What's going on?" she asked.

"I invited Suppi to spend the night here. So what's up?"

Tomoyo sighed.

"`What's up' is Meiling's dilemma. She has agreed to go out with Brad again tomorrow."

"What?" Sakura cried out. "But I thought she hated the guy. So why is she going out with him again?"

"I think we all know that Meiling was never really fond of Brad ever since their first date." Said Tomoyo. "But you know Meiling, she's tough as a walnut on the outside but on the inside, she's as soft as cotton candy. But don't tell her I said that." Tomoyo added hurriedly.

"Oh, I bet that mega creep begged her or something and she just couldn't say......NO Kero, stop choking Suppi with your video game wire. Hold on Tomoyo."

Tomoyo suppressed a laugh as she listened on. There were some shuffling sound, some yells and some warnings. Then finally Sakura's threat of two weeks without pudding calmed the chaos down. She picked up the phone again.

"Sorry about that, where were we? Oh yeah. What does Meiling wants us to do?"

"Well, she didn't really specify, just screamed for help. But I do have a few ideas. Listen, come over to my house tomorrow and bring Suppi and Kero with you. I'll prepare a gourmet breakfast for you guys, and we'll discuss things in details."

"Sure Tomoyo that sounds great. See you tomorrow. Bye."

*~*~*

Yukito stepped out of his shower, rigorously rubbing a towel in his wet hair. He was dressed in his pajamas, ready for bed. His look was that one of pondering, as he thought over the events of tonight. Yue had taken over, all of a sudden, at Touya's house and when he had came to, he found himself standing in the kitchen, against the wall. When he had walked out to the living room a bit disoriented, he had found Touya with a very smug smile on his face. Weird.

`Eh', Yukito thought with a shrug. `Who cares what those two talked .... nope ... argued about. Just as long as they don't put me in the middle.'

"Yukito?"

His thoughts were interrupted as Yue spoke within his mind.

"Yes. What is it Yue?"

Yukito was surprised to find when Yue answered hesitantly in his mind.

"Umm......I wanted to ask you about this human emotion, Love? What is it?"

Yukito's eyes bugged out at the question coming from `Him'. The one who thought all human emotions were nothing but a waste of time.

"Well, Yue," said Yukito. "I don't really know how to answer that question to your satisfaction. I guess what I can tell you roughly is that love is a very strong and powerful emotion, that you feel for just one person. You always want to be near them, you want to hold them, and be as close to them as possible. You always think about them, even when you're not thinking about them. I don't know if it makes any sense........"

"And what about when the person that one might be in love with, has feelings for someone else, what happens then?" Yue asked interrupting him mid-sentence.

"Well, then Yue, is when we experience a feeling known as jealousy."

"What....what's jealousy?" Yue asked again.

"Jealousy is when you see the one you love, love someone else. Jealousy is when you want to take them away from everybody else, but are unable to do so. Jealousy is when you want the person to belong only with you, and they are anywhere but next to you." Yukito said, thinking about Meiling on her date with that kid.

"Am I making any sense to you?" he asked.

"Yes. You are making perfect sense to me."

Yue answered and there was silence for a few seconds.

"Yukito."

Yuki sighed and shook his head.

"Yes Yue. What is it this time?"

"I think .... no .... I believe I'm in love with Touya Kinomoto."

The towel dropped out of Yukito's hand and fell silently to the floor.
