SHOW ME by Konnie
A/N: Well, this certainly took me a while to write. Truth be told, I had the idea of an epilogue in my head for quite some time. Then TamChronin (Your stories are so so so beautiful!!) asked me to write one and I went as far as to promise her I'll do it within the week. Which I never did. I couldn't write anything I liked and it was driving me insane. Then kmj0829 suggested something, which was pretty much what I'd thought with a twist that made it all click, and I wrote it in...uhm, lemme see...exactly three hours. So, this isn't entirely original on my part, but I swear I had thought of something very similar.
I hope you like it, and if you want you can suggest ideas for a sequel. I'm currently writing another CCS story, you might want to check it out.
Thanks to everyone who read this. And special thanks with little pinky hearts to the ones who bothered reviewing it.
And so it ends.
EPILOGUE
There was a mild ruffle of leaves and a few barely audible whispers, one of them that was starting to sound like a hiss.
"Eriol! My nails! You can't expect me to climb this stupid tree when I could be flying above the stupid house!" one very annoyed girl exclaimed. The boy next to her, who was expertly making his way up the branches rolled his eyes.
"Nakuru will you keep your voice down?! I told you, we have to be discrete. I'll make you new nails when we get home, ok?"
The girl's eyes went wide and one could almost see the stars in them.
"Pretty nails? Ones that change color on command and never brake? Please, please, please?!"
"Yes, I promise." The girl was a second away from bouncing up and down in delight, but one stern look from Eriol and she was on one of the top branches, quiet as she'd ever be.
A blue stuffed animal hovered over the boy's head while he settled on another high branch without a problem.
"Master," the plushie said seriously, "Is it correct for us to be spying on them like this?"
The boy smiled innocently.
"No." was all he said. The stuffed guardian nodded.
"As long as it's clear." he whispered and sat next to his master.
From the window that held their interest a loud crash was heard, followed by a yelp.
"Oh fuck!" one of the occupants of the house yelled.
"To-ya!" the other scolded.
"I'm sorry, but they're so big! Are you sure this is right?" the first sounded rather shocked and incredulous.
"I think you look sexy." the second sounded positively horny.
The lights were on, but the occupants of the room weren't visible from the outside. Nakuru was straining her eyes to make out even the slightest shadow, to no avail.
"Don't I always?" the first boy said, the pout evident in his voice, and Nakuru wrinkled his...er...her nose. She really didn't want to be here.
"Of course you do." the answer came in a husky voice. there was a pause and when he spoke next, his voice sounded as amazed as Touya's had sounded a moment before. "My, they are big, aren't they?"
"Yours are bigger." Touya said matter-of-factly.
"Well, it's not the size that matters, it's how you use them." Yukito's voice was suggestive, making it impossible for Nakuru to ignore the pun.
What was going on here? Was there something she should know about a guardians anatomy that she wasn't aware of yet? After all Clow had been a bit weird, maybe he...
"So now what?" Touya asked, a little frustrated, diverting Nakuru from her anatomic dilemma.
"You put them like this, see? Try it."
There was another crash.
"Fuck! I can't do this!"
"To-ya..."
"This is all new for me! You are the one with all those memories about how to do this, whether they are your memories or Yue's or if you are Yue...my head hurts." Touya whined.
"Now, now..." Yukito cooed, "If you get a headache then we won't be able to do it. It's not rocket science, you know? Here let me help..."
Suddenly Nakuru could hear someone giggling madly, but the voice sounded too deep to be Yukito's.
"Wait! Wait, that tickles!"
"To-ya! Stay still, you'll make me trip...Wait! No, not there!!" and then Yukito was giggling too.
Nakuru was getting increasingly frustrated. Why did she have to be submitted to this torture, indulging her master's kinks while hearing Touya and Yuki do whatever it was they were doing?! She did *not* want to know!!
Eventually the laughter stopped, followed by a few more sounds of wrestling and soft whispers and Nakuru was officially a step away from a nervous breakdown. Eriol cleared his throat calling her attention. She directed one of those 'if looks could kill' looks, and he motioned her to keep her focus on the pair.
"This is the interesting part." Eriol whispered with a smile.
"I'll bet." she mumbled.
"Are you ready?" Yukito said, his voice sounding a bit louder.
"Ready as I'll ever be." Touya answered with a shaky tone that did little to convince anyone of his words. "I still don't understand why I have to wear this ridiculous thing though." he whined.
"'Cause you look sexy in it." Yuki said coyly.
"I thought we'd established I look sexy all the time."
Yukito sighed.
"Tomoyo-chan worked real hard to make this for us, you should be thankful."
Now, Nakuru thought, one thing was Touya and Yukito being all perverted in the almost-privacy of their room, but getting a kid involved? That was just wrong, no matter the girl in question was as weird as her master.
The window opened before she could tell what was happening, and she almost falls from the branch. She still couldn't see either of them, just two huge blurry shadows.
"We could always go skinny dipping." Touya suggested.
Huh?
"I don't think the people of Tomoeda would appreciate that." Yukito laughed.
"I thought you liked me naked." Touya purred.
God, get a room! A window-less room!
"Behave Touya..." Yuki warned. Yes! Listen to him Touya! "Now, give me your hand and don't think too much. It's not that hard."
Nakuru had to put a hand to her mouth to suppress the loud gasp that threatened to come out. She couldn't believe her eyes. In front of her, Yukito, clad in a garment very similar to Yue's, the only difference being that where there used to be blue now there was silver, was pulling Touya by the arm. His beautiful grey wings were spread wide. He looked like an angel, but then again, Yue always had as well. The shock wasn't because of Yukito. Touya, the object of all her affections and obsessions, was dressed entirely in black, with a twin garment to the one Yuki was wearing. Where Yuki's cloak was silver, Touya's was of a deep blue; it even had a cerulean stone in the middle of his chest. But the most beautiful of all were the huge, cerulean wings spreading from his back.
Yukito floated very close to him, while Touya clumsily got used to moving his gorgeous wings. Nakuru couldn't take her eyes of him. He looked like an angel too, a fallen angel, and the sight of the two together was too much for her to bare. So much cuteness should be illegal.
When Touya was steady on his feet, so to speak, Yukito led him by the hand and they took on the sky, carefully trying out just flying around. Touya looked both scared and delighted, and Nakuru wished she could join them.
She was mesmerized by the sight, so she didn't lowered her gaze to look at Eriol when he spoke.
"Beautiful, isn't it?"
"Yes...they're...angels, aren't they?"
Eriol chuckled.
"I think you and I were listening to different conversations. Still," he got one of his, 'I-know-something-and-I'm-not-telling' looks. Nakuru wondered though, since everything was finished, that gleam in his eyes wasn't justified. She should probably leave a note to Sakura that said something along the lines of 'Run! Run before he gets bored again!'. She couldn't save herself, but maybe she could warn the others. Eriol continued, "This worked out wonderfully. It's sad to see it come to an end. It was entertaining to say the least."
That she had to admit. And it had ended wonderfully. Sha was a sucker for happy endings. Happy endings with cute bishonens doing things she'd pretend not to bare.
"I still don't understand though." she looked pensive. "That didn't sound like Yue. You didn't just make him disappear did you? He was dense but fun to torture."
Eriol smiled cryptically.
"That's were you're wrong. That did sound like Yue. You just haven't known for him as long as I have. Think of it this way," he put one finger in the air, very much like when he used to talk to Yamazaki-kun, "Imagine you have this life, but one day you fall of a cliff and get amnesia. You don't know who you are or who you knew. No one finds you so you start a new life, with new friends and people you care about. One day, after you've gotten used to being this new you, someone comes and tells you about your previous life, but you still don't remember. So, yes, you know who you really are but it still doesn't make much sense. To you, you're who you were after losing your memory, but your personality; your essence is the same. All those things you can't remember but that had marked you in the past still affect you. That was Yukito's life before all this. Sans the part of knowing he'd had a previous life, the feeling must have been pretty much the same. And now..."
Nakuru nodded, wide eyed, amazed of how much sense it all made. She'd had a permanent migraine ever since it all started trying to figure it out.
"And now Yukito remembers."
"Exactly!" Eriol said cheerfully.
"But I still don't understand Yue..."
"Yue and Yukito *are* the same person. When Clow died, he split Yue in two so that he could heal whether he wanted it or not. And Clow knew he wouldn't want to. Since Yukito wasn't wounded like Yue was, he could love again. And I don't mean just Touya. And since Yukito's heart is, basically, Yue's heart... I know it's complicated, I'm getting a headache trying to explain." Eriol rubbed his temples. "It all made more sense in my head."
"I think I understand." Nakuru said like a five year old. Then she smiled wickedly "Which is worrying. If your twisted mind is beginning to make sense it means you're either losing your touch or I'm going as crazy as you."
"Anyway..." Eriol glared at her and continued as if nothing had happened. "Now I need to find something else to do." He glanced upwards, watching the two angels making out in mid air, rather heatedly. "Say, Nakuru, wouldn't you like feathers on you wings?"
The girl's face was stricken with horror, and she backed away slightly.
"Oh no, you're not using me to entertain yourself! Use Kaho!"
She'd fled if it hadn't been for the pair coming back to their room. The mage and two guardians held their breaths, painfully aware of how close they'd come to getting caught. It was obvious Touya and Yukito were to entranced with each other to notice, though. Nakuru sighed, relieved as soon as they were inside, but then, just as she'd thought they were out of danger, Yukito poked his head out the window with a smile from ear to ear. In his hand, he held a pair of feathers, one silver, one blue. They started floating and headed right into the mage's hand.
Without a word of acknowledgement, Yukito closed the window and the lights went off.
THE END.
