So... My second story is finally out! In this story I made up a lot of characters but they really intermingle with the tsubasa characters. Also The main part of this story is Fai's past (of course the part that I made up) so it might not fit in with the actual manga too well, but I'm trying my best to make it fit. R&R! Enjoy!

That morning the sun was shining, the sky was bright, and there was not a single trace of a cloud in the sky
That morning the sun was shining, the sky was bright, and there was not a single trace of a cloud in the sky. Fai, Kurogane, Syaoran, Sakura, and Mokona had all just landed in a new strange land the previous night. Right now each of them was sleeping peacefully in the beds that Fai had managed to get at a small family run hotel, all but Fai that is. At first sleep came to him like every other night, but this night he was haunted by nightmares.
"Ambre! Get up already! You're going to miss pick up today!" a shrill voice called into the small domed room. A small girl of 13 was sleeping on a mattress that was stuffed into the corner. Next to her was a shelf with maps, books, pictures, and quills all on it. Beside that was a small window overlooking a bright expanse of sea. The small girl slowly opened her eyes, exposing bright blue orbs.
"I'm… yawn coming alright?" She called back at the shrill voice that was now getting closer. At closer look her clothes were well worn and she had long blonde locks that flowed well past her shoulder. She emerged from the bed and flowed to a nightstand that had now come into view. She carefully opened one of the drawers and pulled out a series of dresses. She then sat down and plucked through the dresses, deciding which one to wear. Eventually a navy blue one was picked. Her cream night gown slid off her body and was replaced with the blue one. Then a cream apron was wrapped around her slim waste.
"Ambre hurry up! Cerise is here!" The girls whose name was Ambre rushed to the door and flung it open. Before her was a small pathway that led up to a small flight of stairs. Running up those stairs she turned left and was met face to face of a girl her height. The girl had light brown hair casually put into a braid floating down her back. Her hazel eyes were bright with surprise at seeing her friend. Behind her was a ships deck, which was where Ambre lived.
"Cerise!" Ambre shrieked and hugged her friend, who had now gained her composer and was laughing silently to herself.
"It's nice to see you too Ambre, but we best be going, unless you want to miss the cherry picking. And guess what, Claude is going to be there!" the brunette replied.
"Claude! Egah! I haven't seen him for forever! Oh do I look alright? I hope I look cute! Is my hair okay?" The blonde started rambling on.
"You look fine!" Cerise grabbed her friends hand and marched the two of them off the gangplank and onto the docks. Ambre's mom threw down two clocks for the girls and each of them caught one, greedily putting it on. "It sure is colder than usual, isn't it Ambre?" the brunette turned to look at her friend who was currently rubbing her hands together.
"Yeah! Usually the warm winds blowing in from the ocean make it a little more bearable!" Ambre replied as the two girls started walking down the path to where a group of children stood, waiting for them.
Fai jolted up in his bed. Slowly he started to rub his temple. He didn't stop until he noticed that Kurogane, too, was sitting up in his bed, except he was staring ineptly at Fai. Fai quickly put on the best "happy face" he could manage and turned to look at the younger man. "Ahhh! Kuro-puu! What are you doing up? Did you have a nightmare?" He said his words in a teasing tone but there was no mistaking the strain hidden behind all of it.
Kurogane just tilted his head to one side, sneered, and crossed his arms. "No I didn't have any nightmares, but by the looks of it you did. And I told you to stop with the nicknames already." The blonde frowned, his delicate skin wrinkling downward.
"What make you think that Kuro-wanwan?" the Fai shakily said.
"Because you're covered in cold sweat and you wouldn't stop tossing and turning in your sleep. Also you kept mumbling a name, Ambre or something, over and over again," The man had now put his hand up to his forehead and was staring out the window. Meanwhile Fai was letting the name Ambre roll around inside his mouth.
Why does that name seem so familiar? He thought to himself. And why was I so scared of that dream. All it was was two girls… but it just seems all too familiar…
"… if you need to tell me something I'll listen." The blonde snapped out of his train of thought and looked at Kurogane.
"Awww! Kuro-woof is worried about me!" he said.
"Shut up! I'm not worried about you! I'm just worried about them." He gestured to the soundly sleeping Syaoran and Sakura. "If you all sad and mopey it's going to get them down and that will interfere with my training!" Recently Kurogane had decided to teach Sakura how to use a dagger and he was still teaching Syaoran how to properly use a sword.
Fai just mad a face and turned away from Kurogane. "If that's what you say…" he sighed. His blue eyes were now fixed on another window and what lay beyond it. On the other side was a large expanse of sea. Over the horizon the sun was rising and a few early risers were walking about the pots and docks beginning their daily rituals. Slowly his eyes closed and he once drifted back into a deep slumber.
Claude was walking next to Ambre who was closely being followed by Cerise. His gold eyes were sparkling as they stared ahead and his orange hair was shinning in the bright sun. "Hey Ambre, see that?" he said pointing off towards the horizon. "That's pink line is where they say this world and the next world meet. It's my dream to go there." Ambre stared up at him taking in all of his features. His bright smile, that orange hair, and best of all his eyes. They mesmerized her every time she saw them.
"Yeah, it would be nice to go there." She said as she slowly reached out towards his hand that was limply hanging at his side.
"Ahem…" Cerise finally spoke. I think I'm going to go with the others ok?" As she walked off she winked at Ambre who returned with a warm smile.
"Off she goes. That's just like Cerise to just leave out of the blue." Claude remarked.
"Maybe she left for a reason." Ambre mumbled. Quickly she gathered up her courage and grabbed his hand. Leaning on her tiptoes she pulled him forward and lightly kissed his cheek. She then immediately let go of his hand and ran away in the direction that Cerise had previously taken. Her face was beet red and her breaths were coming in puffs, quickly vaporizing into the cold air. Before she could catch up to the others Claude came up behind her and grabbed her hand.
"Don't go!" he said quietly. "I liked the kiss." She slowly turned around to face him.
"D-do you mean it?" Ambre asked small tears shedding down her face. To show he did Claude leaned down and licked away her tears. The blush that had finally just disappeared came back again full force.
"I meant every word I said." He gasped between each of his breaths. As he backed away. Ambre hugged him.
"If that's true then I'll never let you go." He smiled and returned the hug.
"Neither will I."
