Lost in Hong Kong Ch.3
"Good Ice cream huh Xing?" Kero asked as he finished his.
"Yeah it is! I haven't had ice cream in such a long time!" Yue walked up to them with the same calm expression he always had. The only difference this time was his messy hair that was in his face some little scorch marks and blood splotches on his cloths and face. "Whoa…Are you alright Yue?" Kero asked. Yue nodded. "Yes, now where were we? Ah yes we were heading south."
As they continued south they noticed that nothing looked familiar Yue stopped and turned to Kero. "…Nice one fur ball..."
"HEY I WAS ONLY TRYING TO HELP!" Kero shouted back. Xing sat down knowing this would take awhile.
"I told you that brawd was just another con artist Cerberus!"
"She knew that we were lost!"
"She was just showing off!"
"We didn't even pay her!"
"Oh god….I suppose we'll just head back. Another day wasted."
"Hey better than you can do girly man!"
"What was that?!"
Xing jumped up and out of nowhere pulled out a hammer and whacked them both on the head. "WHY DO YOU TWO ALWAYS FIGHT?!"
Both guardians rubbed their heads. "Because Quick Silver here is and IDIOT!" Kero snapped.
Yue smacked him in the back of the head. Xing looked at them. "Let's try to think outside of the box!"
They both looked at her and nodded. "Right Clow probably knows where we are. All we have to do is wait." Kero stated. Xing looked at him. "I don't have time to wait that's why we're trying to find my mom! And right now we're lost!" Kero looked up at Yue who stood with his arms crossed and his eyes closed.
They waited there for a few seconds until her finally opened his eyes. "I have an idea…" Yue took out his energy bow and summoned an arrow.
"Yue what are you doing?! You can't use magic out here! That's a rule set by Clow himself!" Yue rolled his eyes. "No he said we can't use magic in front of those who have no knowledge of it…There's a difference fur ball." Xing nodded. "Yeah and I already know that you guys aren't anything natural so you have nothing to worry about unless-"Before she could finish she heard Yue fire his arrow into the sky. Both of them looked at him in shock. "Yue!" They both said at the same time.
Yue looked down at them. "Hey, with that maybe somebody can assume it's a flare and come to help us. I spent 3 years in the army I know what I'm doing!" But Yue for once, DID'NT know what he was doing. Little did her realize that a camp of angry mob soldiers serving a new government leader who was coming into power against Magic and supernatural effects lay near them. The three stood there hearing loud and angry screams and winced at the sound of swords, spears and torches.
"HIHOOOOOH SILVER!" Kero shouted at Yue who was gazing at his hands in shock. "….That WOULD have worked if it was read and not blue!" he said trying to convince the two that he had a good idea. They started running as the mob gained on them. Yue picked Xing up as they ran. Running out of the final boundaries they arrived at the shore of the body of water that lie between them and the continent. "I can't swim!" Kero shouted. They turned around. They couldn't fly, they couldn't swim and there was a anti-magic mob getting closer by the second. When the entire mob finally arrived, Yue put Xing down and stood in front of her and tied his hair up and rolled up his sleeves.
"Yue you don't plan on fighting them all on your own do you?!" Xing cried. She knew he was probably powerful enough to take a few on the way he fought in the streets, but there were at LEASE 50 of these people! Yue looked at Kero. "Cerberus, when I say so, use your flame on them. But ONLY when I tell you to!" The lion nodded with a worried expression on his face.
"There he is!" Yue sighed. "Damn it…"he mumbled. " He uses the forbidden art against the great Jan Bata! Bow before those who serve the god of ….I…Forgot…But you're still gonna die!" One of the buff men said turning around. Yue stood in a martial arts position and glared at them ready to take what they could give. All of them stood there silent for five seconds and then yelled attacking with their swords and sticks. Yue grabbed the nearest guy and threw him over his shoulder and side kicked the other in the face. The huge guy that was talking earlier attacked him with a spear but Yue grabbed it and twisted it from his opponents grasp and whacked him in the head with it along with five others insuring that he didn't kill them. He ducked and stretched out his leg tripping three men and ax kicked them on the back. One grabbed him by the shirt but Yue grabbed they guy's wrist and twisted it and punched him in the jaw. He felt a guy grab his arms and held them with their elbows; Yue lifted his arms up quickly and elbowed him in the stomach. Kero couldn't stand Yue doing all of the work as he stood and watched him fight. He jumped up and began to bite and scratch some of the people attacking and they all began to focus on the lion. Out of nowhere they got out a rope and tide Cerberus up and began to beat him. Yue saw this and became furious, he didn't care if he was seen using his magic by humans, His body and his eyes began to glow a blue tint and he summoned his Ice blades and fired them at the people. Now screams of pain could be heard as the glow from the ice blades turned their veins blue and they bled. Kero managed to get his head up and opened his mouth and let fire loose as it set a colossal blazing wall around the two guardians and the little girl.
The men who remained untouched stared in aw of what they had just seen. They dropped their weapons and gazed at the two in horror. The two guardians glared back in anger. The soldiers took some steps back and finally ran away. The fire died out and Kero and Yue fell to their knees as they heard small footsteps running near them. It was Xing, who had avoided the whole fight by hiding in a basket by a shack near by and covered her ears. "Xing are you alright?" Cerberus asked in a weak voice. Xing nodded. She felt awful for hiding at a battle like a coward. She looked over at Yue. "Are you alright Yue?"
Yue stood up and looking like he was about to say something, fell into the shore water. "YUE!" Both Xing and the Lion cried once more. They pulled Yue out of the water enough to get his face out from drowning. He opened his eyes and sat up and looked at Xing. "…I'm sorry" He whispered. "I put you in danger as well as Cerberus…" Xing shook her head. "No! It wasn't your fault! You didn't know better!" She said. Yue stood up and twisted the water out of his hair. "What now? We've been exposed…I bet those men will go and tell their leader about us…And we have no idea where Home is OR Xing's mother…" Cerberus said looking down. Yue looked at him and then took in a breath of air and sighed. He bent down and picked up Xing. "No we don't…But you know what? We're going to keep trying until we do. And who cares if we're attacked more. Who cares if nobody will listen to us…Hong Kong is and Island…So we know where we stand…" Kero looked up at Yue and smiled. "Yep! In deep shit!" Kero alleged proudly. Yue nodded and smirked. "So what are we waiting for?" They headed away from the shore to continue their search for Xing's mother and home.
Once they arrived back in the city an older woman ran up to Yue and Xing screaming! "OH XING! OH MY GOODNESS! THANK GOD YOU'RE SAFE!!!" Yue Put Xing down and Xing ran towards her. "Ma! Ma how did you find me?!" She shouted as she ran. Xing's mother picked her up and held her with tears in her eyes. From behind her they saw their master Clow Reed. "CLOW?!" Kero shouted running to his master. "Hello Kero." The English sorcerer said bending down and scratching the lion behind his ears. Yue walked up to Clow Reed. Who was prepared to take whatever the moon guardian had to say. "Do you….Have any idea….What hell I have been through?! I had to take care of this stupid little child, as WELL as protecting Xing! I had to travel into Hong Kong's Underground and fight for money! I had to take on an anti-magic group of angry soldiers! AND EVEN WORSE I GOT MY HAIR WET!!!!" Clow just looked down at Yue and smiled. "Let's go home you two."
"WAIT!" Xing shouted dropping from her mothers arms. She ran up to Kero and Yue and got down on her knees and bowed. "I owe you so much! I will never forget you two! You who saved me and led me to my family…I thank you!" she sat up in tears and stood up. "I'll miss you both…." She hugged them and started to walk away but Clow approached her calmly. "Xing is it?" He asked kneeling down. She looked up at the great sorcerer. He handed her a small amulet that had the Clow Circle on it. "May the sun and moon always protect you." He said smiling. He stood up and walked back to Kero and Yue. Xing took one final look at the guardians and walked back to her mother. Kero walked by Yue's side over to Clow. "God that has got to be one of the cheesiest moments in our lives." Yue nodded. "Psh, the sun and moon will always protect you? What the heck? That line sucked." Kero nodded.
"So it was all just another test thingy?" Kero said as he popped one of the bubbles that the bubble card had made. Yue stood there with his arms crossed and his eyes closed as he normally would. Clow smiled and nodded. "Did you learn your lesson?" He asked.
Kero looked up in thought. "….Things always happen for a reason?" Yue shook his head. He already knew what the lesson was. He had seen it coming when he fought the soldiers. "Try again Cerberus…" Clow advised. "Hmmm…Have faith?" Clow shook his head. "Good one but no." Kero had a light bulb flash. "OH! The purpose was to save the girl! Ha HA!" Clow shook his head. "That and more. Yue want to take a guess?" Yue opened his eyes. "….Never read notes that you find in someone else's laundry…." Clow nodded. "There you go!"
