The first thing Syaoran notices when he wakes up is that it's warm. It felt like the sun was shining directly on his face. When he glanced over he found Sakura sound asleep. He smiled, happy that her last memory seemed to be a good one.
The brunette stood and began to look around at his surroundings. It seemed like Fai and Kurogane where also out scouting because Syaoran couldn't see them. It also seemed like Mokona was with them.
He looked around finding that they were in a flower field, the flowers ranging from all colors of the rainbow. The sun was directly above and shown down on the two children and the field. It was a beautiful site.
Sakura started to stur and Syaoran rushed to her side. "Easy Princess. Don't strain yourself."
"Thank you, Syaoron-kun." Sakura sent her helper a small smile, reciving one in return. "Where's Mokona and the others?"
"I think they're out scouting but I don't see any sign of them." They looked around the field once more before turning back to eachother.
"Do you think we got split up again?" Sakura was worried about her lost friends. The last time they where split, Kurogane and Fai were stuck in the world for a whole year before she and Syaoran showed up.
Syaoran nodded, "But they can handle themselves. Kurogane's a skilled warrior and even though he doesn't show it, I'm sure Fai's a great magican. Plus if we can understand eachothr than Mokona can't be too far." He gave Sakura a reasurring smile before continuing, "I saw a town and a road to it. We should probably head to it to learn more about the culture and layout of the land. We may even find the guys there."
"Well," Sakura still wasn't sure but she trusted Syaoran's jugdment. "Okay then. Let's go!" She followed Syaoran to the road nearby and walked with him towards the town in the distance.
~X~
The town turned out to be more like a city. It had walls around it with the houses built so that the smaller ones were closer to the wall, leading up to the largest building in the center. That center building seemed to be a castle of some sort.
"Excuse me," Syaoran was asking around for information while Sakura was asking about their friends. "Have you seen two people and a small animal?" When the lady shook her head Sakura then asked, "Are you sure? One's a tall man with black hair and the other's a blond with clear blue eyes."
The lady shook her head again, "No, I'm sorry dear. Maybe you should ask the princess."
"The princess?" Sakura tilted her head in a questioning manner so the woman continued.
"Yes the princess of this country. She lives in the castle but she comes down to the market everyday to talk to the villagers." The woman explained. "Oh, there she is now!"
Sakura turned to see a young woman with short, light brown hair aproach. "Hello, Bashia. How are the children?" The princess' voice was kind and gentle.
"Oh, hello Lady Izumi." The woman did a quick bow before the princess, "They're as ornery as ever but I manage." She laughed.
The Princess laughed as well, "That's good." She then turned to Sakura, "And who are you?"
Sakura bowed, "I'm Sakura."
"Please raise Sakura. There's no need to stay bent over so long." The Princess smiled, "I am Princess Takamera Izumi, but I'll let you get away with just Izumi. Welcome to the kingdom! What brought you here?"
"I.. um.. Well.." Before sakura could explain, Syaoran came over.
"Princess I think I know where... Oh, hello." In his rush over to Sakura he didn't notice the other princess until he was at Sakura's side.
"Hello," She looked between the two children, "Are you with Sakura?"
Syaoran nodded. "I'm Syaoran."
"Well it's nice to meet you, Syaoran!" She smiled, "I'm the princess of this country, Takamera Izumi."
Syaoran bowed to the princess, "Nice to meet you too."
"So what brings you both to our lovely kingdom?" Izumi asked.
"Well, We're looking for our friends," Syaoran explained. "We've been traveling and somehow got separated."
"I know everyone in this city so if they had shown up I would know. What do they look like?"
"Fai's got blond hair and really clear blue eyes and Kurogane has black hair and crimson eyes, He's also really tall." Sakura explained.
The princess looked liike she was thinking for a moment before she replied, "No I don't think I know anyone with those discriptions... " When Sakura's face fell into a worried frown she quicckly added, "But I'll help you look for them and you can stay with me until you find them."
"Thank you, Princess Izumi." Syaoran said. "But you don't have to go through all that trouble for us."
Izumi laughed, "First of all, I insist you just call me Izumi. Or if you must, Lady Izumi." When both children showed they understood she contenued, "Second, it's really no big deal. Our castle's pretty much empty and I like to spend time walking in our city."
"Thank you, Prin- Lady Izumi." Syaoran Bowed again before they all turned to continue the search.
~X~
"Your town is very peaceful, Izumi." Sakura was sitting at the dinner table with Syaoran and Izumi. Their search had come up empty so they headed to the castle to get settled in.
"Thank you, Sakura." Izumi smiled but it quickly faded. "Unfortunatly this is just the calm before the storm."
"What do you mean?" Syaoran asked.
"Our country is waring with a neighboring elven country," She explained. "The Queen of that country is filled with sorrow. Her parents where murdered a few years ago in times of piece. When the country refused to reconize her older brother as king, she was forced to become the Queen."
"Wouldn't reconize her brother?" Sakura questioned.
"No, because he chose to wed his best friend who happened to be a guy."
"Oh.. Thats sad." Sakura looked down at her lap. "Being outcasted for loving another."
"Yes but it's not really frowned upon unless they're royalty.Elves are too proud to let their royalty love he same gender"
"That's even worse!" Sakura exclaimed.
"Well, it's because of that that poor Midori has been so upset." When she recived questioning looks she explained, "Thats the Queen's name. The poor girl is still just a child."
"How old is she?" Syaoran spoak up. This whole conversation was making him feel quite awkward concitering things he knew.
Izumi wrinkled her brow in thought, "Well she's 147 in human years but she's about 18 in elven years. Even for elves it's too young for all this."
Somewhere in the distance a bell tolled. "Oh dear, is it already that late?" She stood up and headed for the door. "I'm terrably sorry but I must attend to my duties before bed. Please feel free to roam the castle." Izumi then turned to the maid by the door, "Please show them to their rooms when they're done."
Once the princess was gone Syaoran turned to Sakura. "We better go on to bed so we're rested for the search tomorrow." Sakura nodded in agreement and they followed the maid to their rooms in hope of getting a good nights sleep.
A few words... This chapter is with Kurogane, Fai and Mokona. I don't know if I spelled Fai's last name right but I'll fix it later if it's wrong.
I feel bad calling Mokona an it so Mokona is now a boy! Unless someone knows for sure what gender Mokona is. 'Cause I sure don't XD
Disclaimer: I don't own Tsubasa. All I own are the OCs except for Izumi. She's Pyrusdracula09's...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Clear blue eyes blinked their way open as their blond owner slowly came into awareness.
"Yay! Fai's awake!" Mokona squealed as he jumped around the blond man.
"Huh?" Fai could hardly keep up with the small white creature as it hopped around him. "Who else is up?" He asked, yawning.
"Only Mokona and now Fai too!" Mokona giggled.
Stretching, the magician let out another yawn. He usually was the first up so he wasn't surprised.
"Though, I don't think Sakura and Syaoran are here." Mokona said, surprising the blond into full awareness.
"We got separated again?" He questioned.
"I'm not sure but I think so." The white creature replied.
Fai thought over this before asking, "What about Kuro-rin?"
At this Mokona brightened. Giggling he replied, "Kuro-sleepy is still sleeping."
Fai chuckled as he had spotted the ninja lying on the ground not far from him. "Shall we wake him up?"
Mokona jumped up and down to signal he agreed, but before either could've made a move, said warrior sat up. "Don't even think about it," he grumbled.
"Awww," Fai moaned, still managing to sound cheery. "You're no fun Kuro-chan!"
"Don't call me that," he huffed before taking a look of his surroundings. "Where are we, and where are the kids?"
"Mokona doesn't know!" The white bun was jumping around Kurogane now.
"Wha… What the hell do you mean 'you don't know'?" The man yelled as he reached for the small creature.
"Uh oh! Kuro-puu is angry!" Mokona giggled as he jumped out of the warrior's reach, instigating their daily chase.
Fai watched in amusement for a few moments before taking in the environment. They where in some kind of plain, all he could see were grass. Far off in one direction was a desert and in the other a huge forest stretched. Their best bet was to go towards the forest. Who knew how long the desert stretched?
When he voiced his findings to the other two beings in the group they seemed to agree. "There's probably a town in the forest anyway." Kurogane muttered as he dropped Mokona on the ground, the white animal like being letting out an 'ouch!' as it hit the hard surface.
"Well, Kuro-pon," Fai said, smiling while heading in the direction of the woods. "What are we waiting for?"
"Don't call me that," The warrior mumbled again as he took the lead.
"Yay! Adventuring!" Mokona squealed as he ran to catch up with the two others.
~X~
It was starting to get dark just before they came across signs of life. That is, other than the animals that roamed the forest of course.
"Seems we're not far from a town." Kurogane commented.
"What makes you say that, Kuro-tan?" Fai asked in a whisper. He was holding Mokona in his arms as they walked so that the creature didn't fall to far behind and he ended up falling asleep.
"There's smoke hanging above the trees," He replied, obviously ignoring the nickname, "It's probably from campfires."
Fai looked up and hummed in agreement. They headed towards the smoke in hopes of having shelter for the night, if not a warm fire to warm them. It had gotten cold fast and Mokona had their heavier clothes. They hadn't felt like dealing with a sleepy Mokona winning the whole way.
They had just begun to see the flicker of orange when two men ambushed them. Both men had bows pointing right at their heads, firm looks on their faces. They both looked the same. They had dark black hair that almost blended in with the darkness and equally dark eyes. The only difference being one was a few inches taller. "Who dares trust pass on Silentia land?" The taller one asked.
"Ah!" Fai spoke up; smile still placed unwavering on his lips. "We didn't mean to trespass. We're just lowly travelers who've happened to get lost."
The two men exchanged a look before looking their prisoners over carefully. They seemed to have noticed their strange clothing for the smaller male went on to ask, "And where do you travelers come from?"
"Far away," Kurogane said, voice a little too rough.
The men exchanged another look and then stated, "We shall take you to the Queen so that she may decide whether you are trustworthy."
"Follow me," The taller one said as he started off towards the fires they spotted earlier. Kurogane and Fai silently followed him with the other man behind them. Mokona still slept on. It would seem he couldn't be woken for anything.
As they approached the camp they realized that these people weren't human. They were a great deal more graceful and silent. Plus they had pointy ears, automatically telling them that they were dealing with elves. If this meeting ended in blows, the two men would out of luck.
When they entered the camp they were faced with a great deal more elves. Most were men while there were very little women and no children. The more they looked around, the more this seemed to be a battle camp. There were random pieces of armor lying about not to mention everyone was equipped with a bow, some sort of blade, or both.
The elves in the camp stopped what they were doing to watch the two outsiders cross the camp to a tent on the other side. This tent was set apart from the others and was much bigger. The taller guard slipped inside as they approached, telling the rest of them to wait.
After a few moments he returned motioning for them to enter. "The Queen is ready to see you."
Fai entered first with the still sleeping Mokona in his arms. As he slipped passed the folds at the door the white bun opened his eyes and let out a "Meikyo!" before slipping back into a peaceful sleep. Fai pause and looked back to the warrior behind him. They exchanged a quick look before continuing in.
The queen was seated at the back of the tent, a bored look on her young face. She had darker hair than all the other elves they had seen and her eyes where a deep sapphire blue instead of the black her fellow elves had. She seemed to be the youngest elf there, looking to be only about eighteen.
"Welcome travelers," Her voice was soft and whimsical, almost like it could lull you to sleep in just a few moments. "May I enquire your names?"
After they bowed, Fai answered, "I'm Fai D. Flourite but you may call me Fai." He gave the queen his usual fake smile before continuing on. "This little fuzz ball is Mokona, and that tall evil looking character behind me is Kuro-"
Before the magician could let out another nickname, said warrior spoke up, "Kurogane."
"Yes," Fai huffed sent the man a glare before turning back to the queen. "We've been traveling with two others but we seemed to have gotten separated."
The queen stood up and walked towards them, looking both in the eyes. "I am Queen Midori. I'm sorry about your lost friends." She had a sorrowful look in her eyes as if she was pained by the thought. "I don't believe them to be in our country for they should've been brought to me by now. However you may join us and look for them in the countries we go to."
"Thank you, Queen Midori," Fai bowed, hearing Kurogane do the same.
"It's nothing," She replied, returning to her seat. "We need a few more troops anyways. Get your rest for tomorrow I shall brief you on our war and you'll train as well." After the men confirmed her statement she turned to the door, calling out to the guards, "Farion, Elidor! Show these men to a tent. They are not to be harmed. They're one of us."
Both elves nodded and motioned for the other two to follow. The left the queen's tent and headed back into the camp. When they where a few tents into the camp the elves stopped and the taller one, Elidor spoke, "This shall be your tent for the remainder of your stay." He indicated to a fairly large tent beside him, just enough to fit two people comfortably. "Farion and I shall come for you at dawn." Both elves then left the others to settle in.
The inside of the tent was bare except for two small beds made of sheets, two lamps and a small table. Fai laid Mokona down on one bed and sat down next to the sleeping creature. "They have a feather." He stated quietly.
"Hn," Kurogane said as he positioned himself on the other bed. "We'll work on that tomorrow. For now let's just go to sleep." He blew out his lamp and turned his back on the magician.
Fai blew out his lamp as well and laid next to the sleeping Mokona. "Night Kuro-puu."
"Shut up."
