[Cardcaptor Sakura] Moon Shadow Falls

It's that time of year again when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

Cherry blossoms once a year, this is the first few years in my life,

When Toya was standing under the cherry blossom tree, she couldn't help asking herself this question.That's right, every time you see the cherry blossoms blooming, it means that your life is one year old.

After graduating from university, he seemed to be inspired by magic. He gave up his well-paid job without hesitation, and walked into the mysterious palace without hesitation.

He wants to do magic, just like the previous joker, who can create amazing miracles in the blink of an eye.Of course he knew that it would not be an easy task to achieve this miracle.

At that time, everyone didn't quite understand why they had to make such an incredible choice-at least many people thought so.

But fortunately, there are still people who support themselves.It's like guarding the moon who is by my side all the time.

Fortunately, hard work always pays off.He conquered the audience's attention with his exquisite, gorgeous and novel magic tricks, making him a famous magician in the magic world.

Of course, what Taoya likes and is best at is the fusion of Japanese and elegant magic.That was his own style, and of course he wouldn't just imitate other people's magic tricks, just like he didn't want to condescend himself to live an ordinary life back then.

Taoya is still the owner of the cards now, but he is a little lucky now, because he has become the owner of these cards, so he has the chance to meet Yue.Without him, I'm afraid he would not have the confidence to go all the way.

Whether Yue is because of the cards or because of himself, he no longer cares.Sometimes when I recall that I was a teenager who was narrow-minded, sometimes I couldn't help laughing.

He admitted that he was in love with Yue.In the past, he would still be jealous of Clow's superior strength, which could make Yue never forget, but later he also understood.A person's life will eventually come to an end one day, but at that time, only Yue is left sleeping alone in the sealed book...

Touching his unknowingly dyed white hair, Taoya seemed to see that his time was approaching.

The cherry tree blooms carelessly year after year, but human life will eventually be exhausted, even the greatest magician Clow Reed is the same, it's just the length of time.

He has had the honor to watch the cherry blossoms throughout Japan, and even the cherry blossoms with different styles abroad.It's just that after many years of tossing around in this world, he still returns to the humble town of Tomoeda City, gazing carefully in front of the cherry blossoms at Tsukimine Shrine.

The cherry blossom trees of Tsukimine Shrine are still lush in spring, but the people who watch it are getting old.

The flowering period of cherry blossoms is very short. After a week of brilliant blooming, these flowers will wither one after another, and the countless flying petals are like cherry-colored snow.

Taoya stood under the tree and thought about it piecemeal, even Yue walked to Taoya's side without noticing.

"The cherry blossoms here are still the same as before." Yue looked up at the pink trees, and couldn't help feeling emotional.

"How long has it been since we met?" Taoya couldn't help feeling emotional.

"It's been 20 years, maybe it should be longer..." After Yue blurted out, he couldn't help being startled: Has it been so long?

During the days with Taoya, Yue regained the feeling of happiness.

It's not the same as relying on Kuro, being with Taoya has more of the feeling of being together.Taoya is indeed not that perfect, but the long-term relationship has also made Yue understand that excessive perfection is also an irreparable shortcoming.

In the past months, I was always confused, but the more time passed, I finally understood my mind.He never regretted being with Taoya, and he was even glad that he didn't change his original choice.

The spring wind was originally warm, but Taoya finally couldn't resist the coldness in the wind, and coughed in a low voice.

"Are you okay?" Yue lightly patted Taoya's back to help him calm down.

Yue noticed that Taoya's coughing had become more and more frequent, and sometimes even in the middle of the night, she would hear coughing in fits and starts.But in the morning, Yue always looked safe and sound when he saw Toya.At first, Yue felt that she was suspicious, but as time went by, the doubts in her heart grew bigger and bigger like a snowball.

"Fortunately, maybe the cold air in spring has not dissipated, and I still cough." Taoya still made an expression of "you don't worry".

"Taoya, you..." Yue wanted to say something, but was cut off by Taoya.

"These cherry blossoms are so beautiful, but after a few days, it will be next year." Taoya looked at these flowers and smiled sadly.

Unexpectedly, it was brilliant during the day, but it rained again at night.

Originally it was just a light rain, but it didn't take long for the unseasonable heavy rain to fall.

Yue stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the raindrops falling like needles in the yard.

In the past, they also squeezed into small rental houses on the way to study abroad, and stayed in various hotels and hotels on the way to tour.After a brief period of glory, Taoya withdrew from the magic world, returned to Tomoeda City, and built a house in this unremarkable outskirts to settle down.

Although it is not as big as Clow's house, but if it is used for living, this size is more than enough.

The outer circle of the house is a garden with small ponds, water piano caves, and exquisite flowers and plants.There is also a cherry blossom tree in this yard.This cherry blossom tree is much smaller than that of Yuefeng Shrine, and it is not lacking in fun to enjoy cherry blossoms in the yard in spring.

It's a pity that such a heavy rain knocked down many petals, including some buds that have not yet bloomed.

It's really pitiful, but it was ruthlessly knocked down by the rain before it could bloom in the future-Yue didn't know when it started, and she began to be sentimental.

"Cough, cough, cough..." There was another coughing sound from behind the thick door panel not far away.

At this time, Xiaojing would always knock on Taoya's door with a glass of water.Yue doesn't know if it's because of her own overthinking, it seems that every time Xiaojing deliberately avoids herself.

After so many years, Xiaojing still hasn't changed, not only her appearance and petite stature, but also her shy personality.

"Mr. Yue..." Xiao Jing saw Yue standing at the door waiting for her to come, looking at the things in her hands, she was so frightened that she didn't know what to do.Obviously, it was too late to slip away quietly.

"Leave the things to me." Yue knew that his tone must be very cold.

"But..." Xiao Jing was very embarrassed.

"I'll leave the things to him." Yue's tone was completely unquestionable.

"I see..." Xiao Jing put the tray on Yue's hand tremblingly, and then left quietly.

"Squeak—" With a sound, the door opened.

Taoya sat at the desk and read the book seriously, maybe because he was too absorbed, he didn't look back for a while.

"Ahem, put the medicine over there." Taoya was used to it, so she didn't notice anything unusual.

Yue didn't make a sound, he just closed the door gently and put the things in front of Taoya.

"?!" Taoya finally noticed who the owner of this hand was. He turned his head in surprise, stared at Yue in a daze, wanted to explain but didn't know where to start.

"You are so sick, how can you still pretend to be okay?" Yue couldn't help but speak venomously.

"I'm afraid you'll complain about me so harshly." Taoya stuck out her tongue and said a little ashamedly.

"You always don't take your body seriously!" Yue's tone rose a few more degrees.

"Life and death are life and death. How long I should live is determined. There is no need to go through such pain to keep it." Taoya sighed resignedly, "Besides, I have overdrawn too much life."

"Just because of this?" Yue's voice became a little choked up.

"Sorry, I can't promise more..." Taoya's mood also fell.He knew that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.If so, then simply make it clear from the beginning.Seeing Yue's sad face, Taoya couldn't express her sadness so bluntly.

In fact, his own behavior is not much different from Crow Reed's. Crow's state of mind at that time is no longer known to Taoya.

"In the end, will you still leave me?" Yue could almost hear his own heartbroken voice.

"..." Taoya took a deep breath, and finally nodded silently.

"...I see." Yue left only this sentence, and immediately walked out of Taoya's sight.

With a "click", the door closed gently.

Since closing the door that night, Yue locked himself in his room alone, silently.

The rain continued, and the cloudy sky was still gloomy.

"Taoya, what's the matter with Yue? Has she been hiding in the room and can't come out?" Xiao Ke sat on the sofa, with a plate of chocolate mousse in front of her, chewing heartlessly.

"Maybe the sky is too gloomy and you're in a bad mood." Taoya shook her head and said.

"Hey, I don't know when this rain will fall?" When it comes to the weather, Xiao Ke complained casually, "The biscuits baked these days are not crispy anymore."

"If the biscuits don't taste good, eat the cake." Toya joked.

"Ah, Toya, you didn't listen to me at all!"

At this time, Yue was alone in the room watching the rain outside the window. Anyway, he had been sitting in front of the bed and watching the rain all day today.

He also didn't know why he was angry with Taoya, rather than saying that he was angry, it might be better to say that he was avoiding something.Taoya will leave one day, just like Kuro back then.

At least when I saw Kuro for the last time, his hair was still black and shiny, and his face was still so elegant.Looking at Taoya's appearance, he seems to have aged a lot, obviously, his age is less than fifty...

Obviously, their time together was only so short...

Perhaps because of the upset, Yue felt tired unconsciously.

If you are tired, go to sleep——

"Yue, I'm leaving this world today—"

In the darkness, a strange yet familiar voice suddenly echoed in Yue's ear.

"Even so, everything has an end, so I have to be prepared."

Is this Kuro's voice? !Yueli was alert at once - if it had been earlier, Yue would have been very excited, but now hearing Clow's words at this pass, does it mean something?

Moreover, these words were all said by Kuro before he died...

"Death is not the end, but a new beginning." Unexpectedly, this sentence was not said by Clow, but...

When Yue returned to his senses, he found himself standing in the yard, while the rain was still falling.

"When I returned home, Yu Yi was light-hearted, and Mu Jun's thoughts were deep and helpless." A low-pitched poem sounded under the cherry blossom tree.

Yue clearly saw Taoya wearing a windbreaker, standing under the cherry tree watching the falling cherry blossoms, letting the rain fall on her body.

"However, today is a rainy day, and we can't see the moon, otherwise it would be even more appropriate." Taoya turned around with a smile.

"What are you doing here? It's raining so much, but you're still standing here?!" Yue felt angry, and in a fit of rage, he even scolded his master.

"Standing here and looking at the cherry blossoms makes me feel better." Taoya didn't mind the guardian's impatience at all, but had a cheerful face instead.

"What are you talking about? You are so seriously ill and can't hide in the house to keep warm, and stand here to blow the air?" Yue was so angry that she couldn't choose what to say: "You don't even want Ming?!"

"Okay, okay, I really lost to you——" Taoya immediately made a "surrender" gesture, "just for a while, just watch for a while, and I'll go back when I'm done. Okay?"

The last "okay" is almost sad and affectionate.

"?!" Yue suddenly realized that Taoya didn't cough.Originally, Taoya would cough out of breath with just a slight gust of wind, but now standing in such icy rain, Taoya was safe and sound? !

"Taoya, you..."

Yue wanted to ask, but was interrupted by Taoya: "Yue, Sakura's life is very brilliant, but also very short. Just like people, even if their lives are very short, they must be determined to bloom the most dazzling brilliance. I think, I did it."

"I'm also very grateful that you can always be by my side. Without you, I'm afraid I can't do many things." Taoya said, walking up to Yue step by step, stretching out her hand and gently covering his waist. On the cheek, "I really hope to be with you all the time, and I have been worrying about it, what will you do if I leave?"

"It's not a pity for me to die alone, and I also know that I don't have enough qualifications to arrange your future. If you like a new master, live a good life with him, and then forget about me."

Toya tried to speak these words in a calm tone, but Yue was already too sad to be herself.

"Why are you looking for a newcomer? If you leave, I will go with you..." Yue's face was covered with water marks, whether it was rain or tears.

"Fool, the Land of the Underworld is not a good place." Taoya scolded, "Don't think about it, your life is still very, very long, you will definitely find a master who will make you happy..."

Taoya's voice gradually became unreal.Yue felt that the cold touch on his face was gradually fading away, and was shocked to find that Taoya's fingers had turned into dots of light that were collapsing!

"Taoya?!" Yue exclaimed, seeing Taoya's figure gradually fade away.

"Remember, you must be happy. This is my last wish."

Taoya's voice dissipated in the cold air, leaving only Yue crying sadly.

——The cherry blossoms that were knocked down by the rain fell all over the ground, like diluted blood.

The author has something to say:

Well, this can be regarded as a future episode of joker.I fulfilled my past shortcomings, but I can't make up for my future regrets, and I can only continue to regret.Maybe the writing skills are not enough, I always feel that some feelings are not expressed... (Wang Tian)

The next chapter is the final part, the war between Toya and Kuro, and Yue's choice.After the end, there should be a side story about Taoya and Yue, which may be something that everyone is looking forward to (what is it? xd) ~ Stay tuned! !
