1. My Other Self

Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.
- Mahatma Gandhi

Clow could sense Yue's distress as he worked on a spell one fine autumn afternoon. Kero Beros had gone off to terrorize the village people, probably till they offered up some delicious treats as peace offerings. Usually Yue joined him, just for the humour of it.

Today, however, was a different day.

"Is something the matter?" Clow asked as the winged man stared at the old grandfather clock. The silence in the room allowed the ticking of the second's hand to be heard distinctly. Exactly forty six ticks later, Yue spoke.

"Why do we look so unusual, Kero Beros and I?" Yue questioned Clow without meeting his eyes. It appeared his Guardian was unhappy with him.

"Why do you ask?" Clow inquired. It was then that Yue turned around to face his Master.

"This morning, as Kero Beros and I walked through the village, we came across a little girl fighting with an older man over some fruit and petty money. We intervened and sent the man on his way, but the girl refused my comfort... instead, she whimpered and looked at me the same way she looked at that man..." Yue trailed off sadly.

Clow took in Yue's appearance once the story was told. Perhaps it was the large, pearl-white wings that stuck out from his back or long gray hair cascaded downward, ending only at his feet? Taking a few steps forward, Clow found himself staring into icy blue cat-like eyes that probably scared the little girl more than anything else. Yes, they were frightening to look into, but if anyone were to look closely they would see that at this moment Yue was anything but scary.

"Did you mean to cause the girl harm?" Clow asked with a gentle voice.

"Of course not," Yue answered, as though it were preposterous to even think about it. Clow smiled.

"I created both Kero Beros and you without knowing what either of would look like and all the while knowing that it would never matter. There was no doubt in my mind that I would love you even if you took on appearances of gargoyles.

"The young girl is naive, blinded by what she sees, unable to perceive you as I do. While you look unusual, different from others, your heart still beats to pump blood into your veins. Your wings may let you fly, but you always have the choice of using your legs, like the rest of us. But it is your eyes that set you both apart as it is in them that I find untainted humanity." Clow placed a hand on Yue's shoulder as he continued.

"Kero Beros and you are both the blessing that this Earth is in need of for your hearts beat unselfishly. You are an evolved species, faster in thinking and far more capable in physique, qualities that will allow you to protect those weaker than yourselves, but only if your heart allows it."

Yue stared at Clow, unimpressed with his answer.

"How does it matter what my heart allows? People fear me for the way I look. How can I protect the ones that fear me?" Yue questioned. While he sounded angry at first, he only sounded melancholic at the end.

"Kero Beros and you are the only ones unafraid to be close to me," Yue complained. "Eternity is far too long to have only the both of you at my side."

Clow's sigh was a defeated one. With Yue's righteousness came a certain amount of inflexibility that had no cure. There was no method of approach that would allow him to be rid of these unnecessary beliefs, as Clow could not guarantee that Kero Beros or Yue would ever find companions among the humans.

"What is it you want done, Yue?" Clow asked patiently.

"Design me a guise, a form that will dispel any and all judgement." Yue demanded.

"Me too," came Kero Beros's voice from the corridor. "I like being the Guardian Beast, but it gets a bit lonely with only you and brooding Yue all the time."

Designing guised forms for both his Guardians... Clow never thought it would come to this. Indeed the world had affected what he had fought hard to protect.
