| Epilogue: Keroberos raised his eyes the slightest bit upon catching sight of the group as they came down the staircase, some floating, some trudging. "Where have you BEEN?" he demanded, feet padding softly as he hopped over to them. "Yue was grabbed by a group of Satan-worshipping women and dragged off and had I actually CARED I would have gone and saved him!" he growled at them. Then he saw Yue was one of the group, soft white clothes ripped and stained upon his slender frame. "You look like crap." Yue's eyes were glazed and the slightest bit red. He glared at Kero for a moment before hiccupping. "You missed it, Keroberos!" Nakuru squealed excitedly. "There was this ghost and she had a bone to pick with Eriol and boy, did we let her have it or WHAT?" Keroberos glanced at Syaoran who was hanging off Sakura's shoulder, legs barely supporting him. "What happened to him?" he asked. Nakuru glanced over. "Oh, him. Man, what a WIMP! You get possessed for all of two seconds and look at you!" From down the hallway came a shriek and then Meilin came running, eyes wide with fear. "Syaoran! There's a ghost! A ghost in the house! And he had this MEAN, MEAN voice and-" she came to a dead stop and fire suddenly flared in her eyes. "Kinomoto! GET your hands OFF him!" Sakura instantly obeyed, allowing Syaoran to drop to the floor like a dead weight. Eriol glanced over his shoulder back the way they had come, mouth pursed thoughtfully. "Eriol-kun?" Tomoyo asked slowly. Eriol glanced at her and then smiled cheerfully, shaking off the question in her eyes. "It's nothing. Just wondering what it'll take to stop her permanently." He said. Tomoyo smiled just as innocently. "Put out." The group turned as a whole to look at her, Eriol flaming a deep red through his quivering, strained smile. "TOMOYO-CHAN!" Sakura gasped. Nakuru came forth, looking shy. She slowly held out the whip she held in her hand toward Eriol. "You might need this more than I do." Spinel Sun mewed quietly, as if bidding the whip goodbye. Eriol slowly took the whip, staring at it. "Actually, maybe I can find a use for this after all." He said softly. And he raised his eyes back to Tomoyo. "I heard you had a small room with...stuff?" Tomoyo's smile turned the slightest bit wicked. "I was wondering what was taking you so long to ask me about it." And she wound her arm through his and dragged him back up the stairs. "Oh, no! NOT upstairs again!" Sakura looked off after them and then sighed, glancing back at Syaoran as Meilin lifted him. "Well, I think the party's over so..." she looked at Keroberos. "Home?" "Sounds good." Kero nodded. Sakura looked toward Yue, catching him just as his eyes rolled up into his head and his body took a fall. "Nani? Yue-san!" White light burst from his body, flinging her back a bit and then Yukito was in his place, staggering. Sakura whirled on Keroberos. "GO!" Kero took off, actually managing to turn the doorknob on the front door and let himself out. Spinel Sun followed, tail tucked between his hind legs. Nakuru remained, looked gleeful. Yukito opened his eyes, looking around in confusion. "Sakura-chan." He asked uncertainly, eyes catching on the hallway. He hesitated, the color draining from his face. "Where are we?" "Tomoyo's house." She answered cheerfully. Yukito frowned delicately. "Tomoyo's..." he whispered, still looking around. He blinked, drawing closer to her. "I am having a strange feeling off déjà vu. As if I've been here before. And about...strange women...dancing and chanting above me-" Sakura laughed a little too loudly, taking hold of his arm and dragging him with her toward the door. "What a STRANGE one you are, Yukito-san!" she said, patting his arm as they walked. "Chanting women..." "There he IS!" Came a loud feminine voice, shrieking maniacally. Sakura didn't even have to look to know the women meant Yukito. Although how she knew they meant Yukito and not Yue was beyond her. "Syaoran! Meilin! Take care of that for us?" And she left them and Nakuru with the group of women that came racing down the staircase. "Eriol? Tomoyo-san!" Nakuru cried behind her feeling figure, sounding horrified. Meilin and Syaoran looked up as the group of crazy women came down the stairs, Eriol and Tomoyo's figures strung up and tied on logs of wood. "Ideal for a witch burning..." Nakuru murmured thoughtfully. And throughout the house echoed the musical peals of laughter of a very satisfied ghost. |
