It was a little after sundown and the stares where just starting to appear in the purplish blue sky when Yukito Tsukishiro left
his house. He was on his way to his best friend Touya Kinomoto's house for supper. Pausing at his doorstep Yukito looked up
at the full moon that was just starting to appear in the sky
and smiled. There was something about a full moon that made
him feel calm and peaceful. Heaving a small sigh Yukito started
to walk towards the Kinomoto's home, unaware of the two shadowy
figures standing on his roof watching him. "It's him Yang, we've
finally found him." the smaller and clearly feminine figure said,
sounding slightly pleased. She was about to jump off the roof
after him when her taller companion held her back "Wait Yin,
you don't know that for sure. He could be just a human with
magic ability." Yin gave a small snort "Come now brother, I
know it's been a while since we last saw him but surely you
recognize the power coming from that boy. The magic of the moon
is strong in him as is the essence of the human sorcerer Clow
Reed. I tell you that is Yue." she said, pulling away from him.
Then before Yang could say another word she sprang from the roof,
high into the air. There she seemed to hover, arms crossed across
her chest as a dark purple light flared up around her. When
the light had disappeared a beautiful slender young woman with
large black bat wings was revealed. The woman had on a tight
black dress and her skin looked as white as the moon. Running
her hands through her waist long black hair she looked down
at Yang "Well are you coming or not?" she asked, her large
indigo eyes narrowing slightly in inpatient annoyance. With a
sigh Yang sprang into the air besides her and a bright white
light covered him. When it was gone a young guy of average
build with thick waist length white hair was hovering on large
white bat wings. He was wore tight silver paints and a loose
long sleeved silver shirt. Turning to his sister Yang raised
a slender white eyebrow questioningly at her "Ok, so now what
do you plan to do?" he asked. Yin rolled her eyes "We follow
him dear brother. Then when you are satisfied that it is Yue
then we confront him and perform our own Final Judgment. You
know this, it's the whole reason why we are here." she said,
gliding off in the direction Yukito had taken. Yang quickly
flew after her and together they honed in on the Kinomoto house.
Moving as quiet as shadows they landed behind some bushes and
slipped towards a small, lit window. Carefully they peeked through
it and saw Yukito sitting at a table along with Sakura and her
family. They where all eating and talking happily together.
Having seen enough Yin crouched down away from the window "Now
are you convinced Yang?" she asked. Crouching down in front
of her Yang frowned "Convinced of what? That humans eat
together?" he said confused. Yin shook her head "Do you choose
not to see it or is it just me? Can you not sense the magic
in that room, coming out of those humans. I'm not sure about
the two guys but the power coming from the girl seems very
familiar. I tell you these are not just mere humans." she said.
Just then the front door opened and out walked Touya. Yin melted
into the shadows while Yang ducked behind a clump of bushes.
Tensely they watched as he shouted something into the house
hurrying to his bike and peddling quickly away. When they where
sure he was gone they went back to the window and looked
hesitantly through it again. They saw that Sakura and Yukito
where alone together, cleaning off the table. They where nearly
done when something small and orange with white wings floated
into the room behind Yukito. It seemed to say something which
caused Yukito to fall into some kind of trance. then there
was a bright flash of light and Yue suddenly appeared in his
place. Yin gasped and grabbed her brother's shoulder " See,
I told you. I knew it was him. Now maybe you'll start believing
me when I tell you something." she said, excitedly. Kero and
Yue exchanged some words before Kero reverted to his true form.
Yin gasped "Kerberos is here as well. If both guardians of
the Clow are here together then that girl is the Mistress of
the Clow Cards." she whispered, her eyes sparkling with pent
up excitement. Yang stared at Sakura in disbelief "That girl
is the Clow Mistress? How can that be, she's so young and
vulnerable. How could she of defeated Yue." he said. Yin was
staring at Yue, her eyes cold and hard "It's as I said, Yue
has gone soft and has excused this child from the Final
Judgment. He has failed to do his sacred duty as The Judge
of the Clow and so has disrupted the Balance." she said. Yang
glanced at her "Surely that is not the case. I remember Yue,
he took the responsibility of being the Judge very seriously.
He would not of gone easy on this girl. Besides we know that
she had failed the Judgment and Yue had pasted the Sentence."
he said. Yin frowned "Yes but then he canceled it and she was
tested again and passed. By giving her a second chance he has
disrupted the Balance of Power. After all Final Judgment is
suppose to be Final." she said firmly. Yang pulled his sister
away from the window, his gold eyes serious ""Maybe so but do
not let your personal feelings for him cloud your reasoning.
It could very well be Yue's fault but it could also be the girl's
or Kerberos's fault. She could of cheated in someway and don't
forget Kerberos fell asleep and failed in his duty as Guardian
Beast of the Seal. We must know all the facts before we can
judge any of them." he said softly but firmly. Yin looked away
and nodded "You may be right. Lets get it done with then." she
said, moving away from him towards the front door. Yang quickly
stopped her "Wait, we can not just walk in there and start asking
them questions." he said. Yin sighed impatiently "Why ever not
Yang. They are all together, we may never get a more perfect
a time to confront them." she said. Yang gave her a slight
smile "Come now sister, what is you rush. Are you that eager
to see Yue again?" he asked, teasingly. Yin blushed "Do not
talk crazy Yang. My feelings for Yue are a thing of the past.
He made his choice and I have moved on. End of story." she
said, angrily. Yang pulled her away from the door "Maybe so
but you are in no shape to ask them anything right now. Let
us go and choose a more suitable time. After all they are not
going anywhere and we have all eternity." he said soothingly.
Looking at the door uncertainly Yin finally nodded her agreement
and they both leaped into the air and flew swiftly away.
Chapter one
"Sakura, wake up. Come on, open your eyes already"
Moaning sleepily Sakura Kinomoto opened one eye slightly and
found Kero standing on her chest "What is it Kero? What's wrong?"
she mumbled. Kero sat back on his haunches and crossed his
front legs across his chest "Oh nothing, just that you've got
5 MINUTES TO GET TO SCHOOL." he shouted. Sakura's eyes snapped
open "I'm WHUT!!" she cried, looking at her clock. To her horror
Kero was right. Flinging off her covers Sakura leaped out of
her bed, sending Kero flying to the floor. Quickly she got
her school uniform on and ran a comb through her hair a couple
of times before grabbing her book bag and dashing down the stares.
She found Touya finishing up his breakfast. Seeing food her
stomach gurgled loudly but she knew there was no time for
breakfast. Wiping his mouth with a napkin Touya turned as
she hurried into the dinning room and grinned "Hey there monster,
isn't this a little late even for you. What happened? Did
you stay up all night dreaming about Yukito." he said teasingly.
Sakura gave him a dirty look and quickly snatched up his last
egg roll before rushing into the kitchen. There she found her
dad washing dishes "Morning, do you have my lunch?" she asked,
stuffing the egg roll in her mouth. Looking up from the dish
he was rinsing Fujitaka Kinomoto looked at his daughter with
concern "Are you feeling ok? You look a little pale. Maybe
you should stay home today and rest." he said. Sakura opened
the refrigerator and after a brief search she found what she
was looking for. Grabbing her lunch bag she quickly went over
and gave her dad a little hug "Sorry dad but I have a test today
that I've studied really hard for. If I miss it today I'll
have to make it up later and who knows if I'll remember
everything then. Don't worry I'm fine. I'm also very late.
Bye." she said and quickly bolted out the door. "I can't
believe how much I overslept. I better start going to bed
earlier." she thought to herself as she awkwardly tried to
jam her feet into her skates while running at the same time.
When they where both securely fastened Sakura pumped her legs
hard and flew down the sidewalk towards her school. She was
so busy trying to make her legs move faster that she didn't
the man and the woman standing in her path till almost the last
minute. "Ahhhh." she cried, and desperately tried to swerve around
them. Suddenly her skates hit a rock and she fell forward, right
into the arms of the tall blond guy. Feeling her face burning
Sakura looked up at the guy "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to
run into you. I'm just really late for school." she apologized.
The guy gave her a friendly smile and helped her get her balance
"That's alright, no harm done." he said. Relieved Sakura smiled
back at him and looked at the dark haired woman next to him.
The woman was studying her intently, her deep violet eyes serious
as they looked fixedly into hers. She was starting to get
uncomfortable when the woman blinked and gave her a slight smile
"You better be on you way now." she said. Sakura smiled
uncertainly and gave a small bow before skating quickly away.
When she was no longer in sight the guy turned to the woman
and frowned "What's the matter with you Yin. You had no business
scanning her mind." he said disapprovingly. Yin crossed her
arms across her chest "And why not? I was hoping to learn
about her now instead of questioning her later. I couldn't
though, her mind was too full of chaos over her tardiness to
school and some test she had to pass today. I was able to
discover that she dose not posses the power that Clow Reed had.
In fact she barely has enough power to sustain her cards. She
has only bonded a few to her, the rest lay dormant and will
soon lose what little magic they posses. Now I ask you, what
sort or Mistress of the Cards would let such a thing to happen.
By neglecting the Cards in such a way proves that she is unfit
to be called Mistress of the Cards." she said in contempt.
Yang shook his head "You are being way too hard on her Yin.
The girl is young and has had no training or real guidance when
she became a Card Captor. How can you expect her to be as strong
as Clow Reed who had spent nearly his entire mortal life studying
magic." he said. Yin was about to say something when she
suddenly went tense, her gaze fixed on something over his
shoulder. Wondering what could of caught her attention so fully
Yang tuned around and followed her gaze. Following her gaze
Yang turned around and saw Yukito on his bike heading towards
Sakura's house. As he peddled past he looked in their direction
and smiled. Yin's eyes widened and she was about to call out
to him but Yang held up his hand and gave her a sharp look
"Not one word Yin." he whispered firmly. They watched him till
he was out of sight "He did not recognize us. I felt nothing
from him, only his presence. Surly he has not forgotten us.
Forgotten me." Yin said in disbelief. Yang looked thoughtful
"That was Yue's false form was it not?" he asked. Yin nodded.
Yang smiled "I do not know how it could of happened but I believe
Yue's false form is a separate being then Yue himself.
Furthermore I do not think his false form is aware of his true
half." he said, amused. Yin shook her head "Imposable. How
can two beings share one body and not know of each other."
she demanded. Yang shrugged "I do not know. We should ask Yue
when we see him. I am very interested in knowing how he has
done it myself." he said. Just then Yukito and Touya came
peddling towards them. They where talking and so paid them
no attention as they peddled by. Yin watched them go "Well
then lets do that right now. I believe the place they are going
to is the school the girl goes to." she said, walking away in
the direction of the school. Yang stopped her "Alright but you
will talk to the girl. Get to know her but don't reveal yourself
to her or challenge her in anyway. They'll be enough time for
that later. I will talk to Yue." he said. Yin frowned at him
" Why you? I want to speak with him. He and I have unfinished
business." she said. Yang sighed "I know Yin and that is why
I am going to talk to him. You don't want to talk with him you
want to fight. You will get you chance to settle what ever
business you have with him but a school full of innocent children
is not the place." he said. Yin sighed "Very well but if you
are going to pretend to be a high school student then you had
better change your appearance. You look old enough to be a
teacher then a student and you are dressed wrong." she said.
Yang looked down at himself and shrugged "Not a problem." he
said and in a flash of bright light he disappeared. Almost
instantly he reappeared through much younger looking and wearing
the same school uniform Yukito and Touya had on. Straightening
his tie turned to Yin "Well, am I convincing?" he asked. Yin
smiled "Very nice brother. Be careful you don't break any young
girls heart." she said. Yang ran his hand through his thick
blond hair and smiled "I'll try. You just behave yourself."
he said. Yin rolled her eyes "Lets just get this over with
already." she said and instantly disappeared. Yang checked
himself in a parked car's window and nodded "I make this look
good." he said and then he too disappeared.
