Disclaimer: X/1999 and Cardcaptor Sakura are owned by CLAMP. If I did own them all hell break loose.
Author's Notes: This idea just popped out after I sifted through the plot bunnies scattered in my twisted mind. And since I both like the two manga plots, I decided to fuse them into one. Please read and enjoy!
Twisted Fates

Chapter 1
Prelude
"I will protect the world that you died for to protect, Kamui. That is my new promise to you." ~Fuuma Monou, X/1999 PSP Game ending
The night sky was lit by a dragon-shaped lightning as his opponent pierced him with his Shinken. And with that pain, Kamui finally realized his true wish.
But time was running short for him. And so, with the last of his strength, he leaned close to his murderer, his best friend Fuuma and activated his barrier, the last barrier that will protect humanity.
He could feel that stare of the child on him as he disappeared into a flurry of bright lights. The said child was the girl he'd hidden a moment ago, to save her from the battle that he fought. But the child had seen everything, and her wide green eyes were glistening in sadness and horror.
Kamui turned his head to her, locking his blue eyes with her green ones. "I'm sorry you had to see it all. When the right time comes, I'll see you again, future Kamui." Kamui disappeared, leaving a distraught Fuuma and the girl fainted in an ebony-haired man's arms.
Fuuma knew it was a dream right from the very start. How could it not be? The two figures standing before him were already dead. Therefore it had to be a dream.
And the landscape… it was far different from the battlefield that he last saw before he close his eyes. It was a pitch black, except for feathers falling overhead like snow, that was what he saw, and not Tokyo Tower, where the black sky became illuminated by silver lights as Kamui… disappeared… because of him…
"Don't blame yourself for that, Onii-chan"
Tears instantly welled up his eyes at sound of Kotori's voice. Behind her winged figure Kamui showed himself and stood beside her. "Don't think about the past anymore, Fuuma."
"Kamui…" The name felt weird when he spoke of it. Instantly he grabbed both of them and hugged Kamui and Kotori close to him.
"I-I'm sorry… I didn't know what happened… I didn't want to do it…" Fuuma sobbed. "I'm sorry… you both suffered because of me… I hurt you both… I killed you both…"
Kotori gently patted his head. "Its okay, Oni-Chan. I'm sure you didn't mean to do it."
Kamui smiled, before his face fell. "That's why we needed to talk to you, Fuuma. We need your help."
Fuuma pulled back. "What is it?"
"Another one will come." Kotori sadly spoke. "Another Promised Day will come. The Dragon of Earth won't be satisfied until the world is destroyed. And right now, the one destined as the next Kamui is too young and unprepared. And… she has another destiny to fulfill."
"She? The nest Kamui is a girl?" Fuuma stared at them.
"Yes." It was Kamui's turn to answer. "And this girl can change the future. Only she can stop this unending circle of destruction."
"How can you be sure it won't end up just like ours?" Fuuma sadly asked. "I don't want anyone to suffer the same way we did, Kamui."
Kamui placed an assuring hand on his shoulder. "That's why you're going to protect her, Fuuma. You and the remaining dragons will all help each other in protecting this girl." He and Kotori suddenly looked up.
"We need to go now, Oni-Chan." Kotori hugged them both.
"What… Wait! Don't leave me yet!" Fuuma reached up as Kotori and Kamui flew upward.
Kamui smiled at him. "It's your turn now, Fuuma. Protect her. Then we'll all be together."
"Please don't forget, Oni-Chan," Kotori said before he lost consciousness. "That girl can change the future. I'm sure of it…"
"After all, the future is yet to be decided, doesn't it?"
Syaoran's Sakura: That's just the beginning! I'll try to update very soon, so just wait!
