"I'm really sorry Touya I didn't realize how late it was." Yukito stated for the third time as he walked along side the dark haired boy.

"And for the third time, I told you not to worry about it Yuki, besides you didn't even ask me to wait for you." Realizing that Yukito wasn't going to stop apologizing, he grabbed the boy around the shoulders in a half hug as they walked together, and Yukito finally fell into content silence.

Yukito had been practicing on the archery courts. He had a tournament coming up and had been wanting to get in some extra hours of practice after school. It had been completely by chance that Touya had come across Yukito there that evening.

Touya had come back to school to pick up a text book he had left in his locker, when his ear caught the tell tale sound of a twanging bow string and the fwap of an arrow hitting it's target. Walking up to the fence that surrounded the court, Touya stood transfixed as Yukito methodically shot arrow after arrow into the target.

The fact was, although originally, he had kept silent so as not to interrupt Yukito's concentration, Touya had become so entranced in watching he hadn't realized how late it was until Yukito had stopped shooting and noticed him standing there.

After Yukito had packed away his equipment and changed it was fully dark, and Touya had no intention of letting Yuki walk home by himself. So the couple found themselves strolling under the dim path lights of the park. Touya couldn't help but feel strange, he had always been able to sense the energies in the park, and the presence of the spirits that dwelled there. Now that he had given his powers over to Yue the place was still to his senses. Yukito was however looking around avidly, seeming uneasy.

"Yuki is everything all right? Do you see something?" Touya asked with concern.

"What? oh no it's nothing.... really." Yukito waved his hands about as if fanning away his friends concern, but as the two walked through the darkness of the trees Yukito seemed to be growing more wary of something. The change in his friends light hearted personality was somewhat of a shock.

"Yuki?" Touya inquired as his friend paced out in front of him. "What's wrong?"

Suddenly there was a quick flash of light and the flutter of white wings, and then Yue was there his eyes scanning the darkness.

"I don't know... but YOU should not be here" As he spoke the darkness around them seemed to grow, the sound of whispers, and was it someone crying? or is it just the wind? what ever it was the sound surrounded them a moment then Yue had him by the hand and was pulling him along the path.

"Dark ones." Yue muttered as he relentlessly pulled Touya through the trees.

"Yue... what is going on?" Touya exclaimed as the angelic guardian backed up a few paces and turned toward another branch of the path.

"You can't see them?" Yue asked. "Right, of course you can't." Yue started down another branch of the path, when A tug that caused his head to snap back forcing him to turn around, to see a not so thrilled Touya with the end of Yue's long pony tail in his grasp.

"You didn't answer my question Yue, what is going on?"

Authors Note:

----- This is my second story, I'm a little nervous writing a story with multiple chapters. I know my first story "The Kiss" was much to short _' but I'm having a hard time making "Of Yin and Yang" meet my standards, Thank you to everyone who read and reviewed my first story, I hadn't intended to write any other stories for fanfiction.net seeing as how "The Kiss" was an accident that just ended up being typed out during a nasty bout of insomnia as a way to kill an hour, but since people asked for another story, here it is and I hope you like it. Stick with me on this and I will try and get new chapters up within a reasonable amount of time. Many Thanks, Glasses 0-0
