Take Me chapter 12 (final)
It's finished! Hurray! ^_^
Now I need to figure out what I want to finish next. Suggestions are welcome. I think I've gotten the most requests for "Riding the Wave", so that's what I'll open as soon as this is posted. I could be persuaded to look into something else, though, if anyone wants to offer bribes and/or flattery. hehe
Please enjoy the final chapter of Take Me. I enjoyed writing it.
Oh, and if anyone wants to beta for me, poke me and I'll send you an IM. (Come on, you'll get sneak peeks, credit in my stories, and you don't have to worry about painful grammar or spelling... ^_~)
Take Me
Pax Deorum
Yue
My heart stopped when the lights came back up. The darkness that had swirled through the room when Sakura had blown out the candles had been spun of magic, and it had taken more willpower than I thought I'd had not to change my form so that I could defend Sakura from this unexpected attack. For that moment, I'd had a rush of energy that had me on the edge until I realized it was Eriol's doing. I relaxed, trusting Clow even in this new incarnation. But when the lights came up I was thrown into a conflicted meltdown I'd thought was years behind me.
Touya had collapsed on the floor, and Eriol was leaning over him with patently false concern on his face.
"Oniichan!" Sakura screamed, forgetting the cake.
I was just as bad. "Touya!"
Daidouji Tomoyo was an island of calm in what could have become a raging sea. She gave Touya a concerned look and then ushered everyone else into another room, coaxing Sakura into coming with her and eliciting a promise from Eriol that he'd update them on what was wrong.
"What did you do to him?" I whispered fiercely under the sound of the others trying to start the party anew.
Clow's smile met me calmly with false innocence. "I wouldn't do anything to harm him, Yue."
"That doesn't answer my question," I said, picking Touya up and carrying him to his old bedroom upstairs.
Eriol followed, but I could have cared less at that point. I was worried, and a little upset that Eriol was doing even more to upset the order of things. This time it wasn't even necessary. What was he thinking, doing something with Touya like this on Sakura's birthday? As if the day hadn't been bad enough already....
"Have I ever done anything of this sort that wasn't necessary?"
Sometimes, lately, I hated Clow's idea of "necessary". I sat down on the bed next to Touya and brushed hair out of his face. "What did you do?" I asked again, refusing to look at the young man who both was and was not Clow. It made my head hurt at times, with how much I resented him and loved him all at once. I thought he'd loved me more than anything, but I had been so easily replaced, and the years since Eriol had entered my life had only increased the sting of that rejection.
Eriol nodded, standing next to me but not making any move of consolation or comfort. "I was helping to grant Sakura-chan's birthday wish."
"Putting her brother in a coma was her wish?" I wouldn't put it past her if he'd still been tormenting her on a daily basis, but those days were long past. I looked up at Eriol, puzzled by what he could mean.
"No, not this year," he said, smiling gently. "The two of you haven't been getting along very well lately, have you?"
I was confused for a moment with his abrupt change of subject. Sakura and I hadn't--what? No, he gave Touya a significant look and I understood what he meant. I sighed, slumping a little in defeat. No, we'd been fighting a lot, and when we weren't fighting there was an insurmountable barrier between us. I wasn't who he wanted anymore. Not since the truth had removed the wall between who he had known, and who I had always been.
Eriol didn't wait for my train of thoughts to run their course. "There is still enough of Clow in me that I'd do nearly anything for you to be happy again. You deserve that much, after all you have been through, and all I have put you through."
Didn't he know it wrenched my heart more when he talked like that? From one sentence to another, he went from divorcing himself from Clow to representing him.
I held my tongue though, and just continued to look at Touya.
Eriol leaned against the wall and I heard him shrug. "Can you trust me one more time, Yue?"
I nodded automatically, but I wasn't sure if I meant it anymore. "How is this supposed to make me happy?"
"If I could take back one mistake Clow made, it would be this one," he said thoughtfully, and I looked over at him and the wistful look on his face. He was growing up, and looking both more and less like Clow every time I saw him. His hair remained short, and he stubbornly chose glasses with a different frame even when style nearly repeated what had been familiar to me for so long. He flaunted different choices, even as his smile, his eyes, and his face were all hauntingly close to who he had once been.
"Clow didn't make mistakes," I complained, sounding like a petulant child even to myself.
He didn't laugh, though. He put a hand on my shoulder and shook his head. "You're the only one who would say such a thing. You're wrong, though." He sat down next to me. "I remember too clearly things that you cannot."
"From before I was created?" I asked, taking some small satisfaction from watching him flinch from my words.
"Memories that were taken from you," he began, and then broke off suddenly before Sakura knocked on the door and opened it slowly.
"Will he be okay?" she asked, eyes full of worry.
Eriol smiled and stood with considerably more life than before. "Of course. I'm sorry to have worried you like this."
"So it was you," she said, frowning a little. "Why?"
"Can you trust me, Sakura-chan?"
"Yes," she said immediately. There wasn't even a hint of hesitation, and I was amazed all over again that she was always so trusting and kind. In a different way, I loved her as much as I had loved Clow. Despite myself, I was buoyed by her utter faith and I smiled just because she was smiling again.
"Thank you," Eriol said with an even more genuine smile, before he turned more thoughtful. "Though, I do hope he's not like this for five entire months. That would be a little difficult..." he trailed off.
"Five months?" Her eyes went wide. "Why would he be like this for five months?"
"Hmmm." Eriol sat down again, in a chair this time. "Because once upon a time, Clow was young and selfish."
Sakura looked blank, making one of her small nonsense sounds in confusion.
"It was partly a birthday present for you," he said, and as he spoke my head started spinning. "I wanted to grant you something special, so I talked to Kero behind your back and arranged for the cards to work with me to grant your wish in whatever way they saw fit. It was only after the wish took shape that I realized what had been done, though, and what the implications might be."
I frowned. "You, and Cerberus...and you didn't think to ask me?"
"You were a little busy avoiding me," Eriol pointed out.
See? Just like Clow, he was always right. When would the similarities end?
"But! You said five months!" Sakura was starting to look a little panicked around the edges.
I closed my eyes, looking to the cards for answers. The ones under my power, strangely enough, seemed like they'd done the most. "The Return says he came back at the same time as he left. He was just very tired, for some reason."
When I opened my eyes, I swear I saw Eriol blush just slightly. That was possible? Ah, no, it had to be my imagination.
"Then all should be fine," Eriol said with a blindingly bright smile. "I hope you'll forgive me for my deception yet again, Sakura. It was with the best of intentions."
She nodded, looking as confused as I felt. "But, what happened? Where did Oniichan go? I mean, to what time?"
Eriol leaned forward. "He was sent to a time when Yue was young, so that he could understand what is happening now better. I know it was an...educational experience for him. So, he just needs to wake up again and all will be well. My work here is done." He stood, hands clasped behind his back, smile wider than it had any business being.
"Did it work?" I frowned, trying to find some hint or strand of memory that supported what he was saying, but nothing came to me. "Why don't I remember this?"
Eriol looked away, toward the window, and the smile was finally gone. He looked haunted by the memories that overcame him now. "They were erased. They were taken from you, so that they couldn't hurt you anymore."
Sakura looked as alarmed as I felt, but I hid it as well as I was able. "How?"
"It was before I'd come to fully understand The Void," he said, clearly absorbed in the memories now. "You were sad for years and couldn't accept that he'd gone. I didn't see a choice at the time, and wanted to see you happy again. I know now I should not have, but it is too late for me to undo that damage."
Sakura shifted, as if she wanted to say something, but at that moment Touya let out a moan and curled up on his side. At almost the same moment, Tomoyo knocked on the door to tell Sakura that she had to cut the cake now or there would be a riot on top of all of the other delays that had happened.
"I should go as well," Eriol said, turning slowly toward the door. "I'm sorry, Yue. I hope this can make up for what happened, but if you never--"
Touya sat up, interrupting what Eriol had been in the middle of saying.
"You," he growled, piercing Eriol with a glare.
"That would be my cue to leave," Eriol said with forced levity as he started to move for the door.
"Yue," Touya said, piercing me with an intense gaze. "Stop him, please."
I did it without hesitation, with a bit of satisfaction at the shocked look on Eriol's face as I appeared in front of the door he'd been about to escape from. I crossed my arms over my chest and waited, letting my eyes flash their normal color just to warn him that I was in the mood to do more than just stand here to stop him if I must.
"What's the idea, messing with my sister's birthday?" Touya said, glaring at the back of Eriol's head.
For his part, Eriol cringed a bit. He was still smiling, but it was like a child who had been caught sneaking a cookie. "Sakura-chan forgave me."
"She forgives a lot that she shouldn't," Touya grumbled, standing unsteadily. The last time he'd looked so weak was--
"You might be right," Eriol agreed easily, standing his ground as Touya advanced on him.
I watched them silently, noticing for the first time that Eriol was nearly as tall as Touya now. He'd grown a lot in the last few years. More and more like Clow....
"I can't forgive the idea of my sister being taken advantage of," Touya said darkly.
"It was never your sister I wanted to take advantage of."
It was right about there that my mind completely derailed. The way he'd said that, and the grin Touya wore in response--
I had to be wrong, but for a moment I thought they were flirting.
No, the grin vanished in an instant, and Touya was back to how he had been before. I took off my glasses and cleaned them off on my shirt, telling myself it was from a smudge, or the edge of the lenses catching Touya's face wrong. That was the problem with sporting such an affectation in my "false form".
"You're a thousand years too young to take advantage of anyone else around here, kid."
Eriol's eyes sparkled with mirth. "Ah, you're probably right."
I was starting to feel like I was the one who had been sent back in time, but brought back to a strange new world where everything was upside down and backwards. "Touya?" I whispered in my confusion, but it was too low to be heard.
Touya stepped closer, looking intently into Eriol's eyes as if searching for something there. "Is there any chance that...what you offered before--?"
Eriol looked thoughtful, frowning and rubbing his chin. "I should say, 'It wasn't me who offered that.'"
Touya nodded solemnly. "And I would answer, 'I understand, and hope that you and Kaho have a long and fulfilling future together.' But I can't help but notice that that wasn't your answer."
"I don't know." Eriol frowned deeper, hands falling to his side. "I'm young, and I have an entire new world to explore, and a new desire to actually do so."
"If you ever change your mind..." Touya trailed off.
Eriol smiled and turned back to face me. "I should return to the party before people start to get the wrong idea."
I was too confused to offer any resistance as he slipped out of the door I'd just been guarding. "Touya?" I stepped closer to him, holding my hands out as if I could grasp the answers with tangible force.
"You don't remember any of it, do you Yue?" He cupped my cheek, and it was the first time I felt like he was looking directly at me instead of searching me for something more. He'd said my name without reservation or hesitation or resentment.
I leaned into his touch as I shook my head. I'd always been so in love with him, and it had hurt unbearably when he'd looked at me as if I'd killed the one he loved. "Will you tell me about it?"
I honestly didn't care if he did, as long as he kept looking at me that way.
"Tonight, when I can go into graphic detail." He leaned closer, wrapping his other arm behind my back.
"Graphic?" I recalled how innocent and open I'd been when I was younger, and how eager I'd been to share pleasures of the flesh with Clow. If I'd met Touya at that time, would I have been the same with him?
"Very graphic," he whispered.
That answered that question quite nicely.
"We should go and reassure everyone that I'm fine," he said, not letting me go.
I nodded. "We don't want everyone to get the wrong idea." I wrapped my arms around his waist and leaned my head against his chest. I smiled a little as I realized I'd echoed Eriol's words from a few moments ago, but I blamed it on Clow being so much a part of him, and so much an influence on me. We couldn't help but think alike in some small ways.
A thought struck me.
"Wait." I looked up at him. "Back then, just how much time did you spend with Clow?" I had a suspicion forming in the back of my mind...
Touya laughed and started to let me go, heading for the door. "I'll tell you tonight. In very. Graphic. Detail."
He was laughing as he walked out.
No. They couldn't have.
Could they?
"Touya! Tell me."
He was already walking down the stairs, and it was too late to expect answers.
But, had that been what he'd been talking about with Eriol?
I walked down the stairs after him, frowning as I tried to put it all together. Everything Eriol had said tonight. Everything Touya had said. What little I could remember about when I was young, and what I might have done.
It was possible.
It was very possible.
I'd even say it was probable.
I put on my sweetest smile and wrapped an arm solicitously around Touya. "I'm sorry, everyone. I think Touya overestimates his recovery. I should take him home and put him to bed, to be safe."
I was looking forward to a bed time story tonight, and if I was right I hoped for some demonstrations.
Now I need to figure out what I want to finish next. Suggestions are welcome. I think I've gotten the most requests for "Riding the Wave", so that's what I'll open as soon as this is posted. I could be persuaded to look into something else, though, if anyone wants to offer bribes and/or flattery. hehe

I demand demonstrations!It was very, very amusing indeed.no subject

Might I add that I especially enjoyed the Eriol/Clow and Touya banter? With poor, confused Yue trying to piece things together... That was priceless!
