NOTE: Okay so I know it's been a while, if you want to know exactly what been going on go to my prophile. I just want all of you to know who are going to get the e-mail saying this "new" chapter has been uploaded that this is the exact same chapter except with better grammer hopefully. I'll be reposting the rest of the chapters up but nothing will be different from what are up now so just ignore them (unless you want to read them again). If you want to know why the hell I'm redoing these ones and not working on the next go to my prophile. (Wow, that made me sound really bossy didn't it - sorry guys, didn't mean to.) To all of you that are reading this for the first time, hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles ... I unfortunately never will ...

Tainted Memories

Chapter one:

"Mokona Modoki really can't wait! Paaapooooooooo!" The little white creature said, glowing a bright yellow akin to that of a sun. It spouted white feathery wings as it prepared to send the small group of travelers to the next world, searching for princess Sakura's feathers, containing her memories.

"That was a lot of fun!" Fai, the mage of the group said with a big smile on his face. As each member of the group said there goodbyes to there new found friends, friends who they had previously met in other worlds, only resembling them in appearance and soul, having met, and yet, never met.

"Thank you very much everyone, we'll all meet again one day!" Tomoyo said, watching from outside of the multicoloured lights that engulfed the traveling companions in a sphere. One could see Kurogane, the samurai of the group, look towards Tomoyo, reminded of the world he wanted so badly to go back to. He didn't have much time for thought though as Mokona continued. Sakura and Syaoran looked at each other briefly before looking at Mokona, seeing that it was time to depart.

"Paaaan," Mokona said as each member of the group was transported to the next world.

The group found themselves in something like an inter-dimensional road, one lined with circular rings made of dotted light. It seemed as if they were moving and yet not moving, floating, not being able to tell up from down. They depended on sense, telling them that what was below them was down and what was above them was up, but, then again, could they really be sure?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Emiri was at her wits end. The council had spent weeks trying to figure out how to cope with the wars. It was their responsibility, being the only ones who even had a chance, if small, against the monstrous power slowly taking control of their world. She felt like pulling out her hair but knew doing so here, or showing any type of emotion, would show weakness, something she was not willing to do.

"We must find a way to stop him, this cannot go on any longer," one said, a person of unknown sex wearing a green cloak made of cotton with the hood up, as all did. He was sitting at one place in an enormous rectangular table with a projection in the middle coming from nowhere, showing battles that have previously occurred and their aftermaths.

"Of course this must stop, is that not what everyone here thinks? Stop repeating what each of us has known for two years and only speak if you have something new to bring to attention," another spoke, close to yelling. This time it was a person wearing a light blue cloak made of silk. "We must think of something! The world will soon be destroyed! We must stop Sarkove and destroy him!" Everyone nodded in agreement. The tension was high. They had spent so much energy and so many had died within the two years that he had shown up.

"One of us should go and gather information. There is nothing we can do know with the knowledge we know at this point. Only one person should go so as not to draw too much attention," another person wearing a brown coat made of rough material said.

"It is the best course of action to take, though the person to do this must be experienced and able to use as little magic as possible, it is rumoured that the enemy can detect the emission of energy from a spell," the person in the light blue cloak said.

"It is agreed upon then?" the person at the head of the table, wearing a pure white cloak that glimmered gold and had silver veins running throughout the material of indecipherable nature, only seen at the right perspective. With the comment, everyone agreed nodding their covered heads. "Then it is done," the leader said looking over everyone from the head of the table. "The only thing is to decide who is going to go."

Emiri quietly sighed, this isn't good, she thought.

A/N

Heya it's me again. Ok I am now going to try yet again at a story. This time I have actually written down exactly what I want, at least the main gist of it and hopefully, with the support of you guys, I'll actually be able to finish it! . I really hope so. Anyway I know this chapter was really short but I just wanted to start it with a small prologue just introducing some characters without giving anything away yet. This will be the only chapter this short, that I can promise, me not necessarily being a fan of shorter chapters. So please review, it makes me work harder and write faster!

Thanks a lot!
