Chapter 1
Enter The Realm of Nightmares...!!!
Kitsune stretched from her spot on the rooftop of one of the buildings, puffs of steam shooting out of her mouth as she let out a yawn in the chilly winter air. She looked out over the town. It was so peaceful inside here. She slipped down off the roof, landing on her feet and stumbling slightly. She padded down the sidewalk, observing all the little food stands, looking for something of interest.
The city was quiet as a bright light started and out of the ground appeared five figures, four humans and one puffy white pork bun. Syaoran looked down at Sakura who had fallen asleep before they left for this world, her breath showing in the air as her eyes opened slowly. "Hmmm?" She looked up at Syaoran and smiled then looked around. "Oh wow...it's so pretty." She said, standing and looking around. She started shivering. "And cold." She said, rapping her arms around her self. Syaoran pulled off his cap and drapped it over her shoulders. "Come on, let's find a place to stay before you catch a cold."
Kitsune's eyes brightened slightly as she passed a food stand with some food that actually interested her. She waited till the man at the counter was distracted and slipped over, taking some bread and some freshly cooked meat, stuffing half a piece of bread in her mouth. "HEY! Get away from there you little street rat!" The owner of the food stand barked. He lunged for her but she darted out in an instant, the food draped in her arms. She stumbled once but caught herself and kept running, the sounds of shoes pounding behind her. "Stop! Theif! THEIF!" he howled. She bolted around the corner of a building, the man still on her tail.
Syaoran looked over to see a girl headed there way and Sakura standing in their path. Sakura looked over. "Mmm?" She said and just stood there confused. Syaoran heard the word theif and also stepped in the way to stop Kitsune.
Kitsune looked back over her shoulder to see the man chasing her and looked ahead. She looked a little surprised to see a boy trying to stand in her way and stop her. She skidded nearly to a stop and bolted to the side off the path and into the street. She skidded to a complete stop as she was caught in the headlights of a car. She turned her head to look, and before it hit her she jumped. There were two feathers, one in each of her boots, and she jumped high enough up that she ended up landing on her feet on a rooftop. She stopped for a second, trying to catch her breath before she looked down at syaoran and smirked almost mockingly before she bolted out of sight. The man from the shop came to a halt, leaning over and panting for breath. "Damn... that's the third time this week..." He growled to himself.
Syaoran looked at him. "I'll get her," he said and looked at the biuldings. He ran over and jumped from one wall to the other scaling up the building till he landed on the roof and chased after the girl quickly. Sakura blinked. "Nani???" she asked tilting her head to one side. Fai stood next to her calmly. "He'll be back. Let's stay here till then."
Kitsune slowed when she thought that she was well away from everyone. She stopped, the cold air piercing at her lungs like razorblades. She took a bite of the bread then one of the meat. She swallowed and went to take another when she heard the sound of running feet, turning around with her face stuffed with food and blinked to see Syaoran chasing her. She swallowed the food and bolted further along the building. "Shi..." Who the hell is that? She leapt clear acrossed from one building to another, a good 10 or so feet, almost falling when she landed. She was definately quick and agile, but she barely had gotten time to catch her breath.
Syaoran took the chance and going full speed, jumped, grabbing onto the ledge and pulling himself up. "Why are you stealing that food?" he asked calmly, approaching her.
"Why is it any of you're business?" She retorted, keeping a gaurded stance as she skidded to a halt a good fifteen feet away. Her eyes were a reddish brown and her hair was tan. The reason she was able to jump so well was of course becuase of the two feathers, sakura's memory fragments.
Syaoran looked at her boots and saw the feathers. "Where did you get those?" he gasped, pointing at the boots. "Those feather belong to Sakura!"
Her eyes suddenly narrowed. "I found them, and their mine. You can't have them!" She growled, taking a step back. Her whole form was rigid now, ready if he tried anything. She looked behind her for a second. Damn... I didn't even pay attention to where we were going... if I go much farther... She turned her attention back to Syaoran.
Syaoran sighed. "Listen, my freind is going to die if she doesn't get all of her feathers back...it's a long story so please...just come with me." he said calmly, not stepping forward or back.
"No, I won't go!" She snarled, taking a few more steps back. She tripped over the edge of the roof, falling back. Her food forgotten, she let out a gasp and tried to catch herself but she fell over the edge.
Syaoran gasped and ran foward quickly, jumping off the edge and flying passed her, rolling as he hit the ground and skidded to a stop. He rushed over and caught her right before she hit the ground "you ok?" he asked calmly.
She blinked slightly, then jumped up. "What the?! Why the hell did you save me?!" She spat ungreatfully. She stumbled back a bit and fell on her ass, still a bit shaky. She tensed, a shiver running up her spine and she looked to the side to see a big shadowy creature standing there, with huge dripping jaws. She gulped and tried to jump up to flee as it charged, but fell again. She clasped her hands over her head as it neared, closing her eyes but there was nothing. She opened her eyes again to see it bashing it's huge head against an invisible barrier, electricity shooting out on the opposite side and sending off a bright light each time the barrier was hit before the creature growled irritably and finally gave. Kitsune blinked and fell from her sitting position to laying on her back, her arms stretched out as she stared up at the sky. "That was too close..." She murmured, mostly to herself.
Syaoran looked at her. "What was that?" he asked, shocked. "And what stopped it from attacking us?" he asked standing and offering her a hand to get up.
"It was...one of the shadowhounds." She blinked, taking his hand, mostly just becuase she had a hard time getting up from being tired. "There's a barrier that protects the city, it keeps all the creatures out. But... if you step outside the barrier, you can't get back in. Even if you only put you're arm through, you couldn't pull it back in. There is one way to get in, but the only way is through magic. And if you set foot outside the barrier, you can bet that you'll be devoured almost instantly." She still felt a little shaky, but less than before. "You can't see the barrier, so sometime's it's hard to tell whether you're even inside it or not, another foot or two farther and at least one of us would've been killed by it."
He nodded. "Listen...I have a favor to ask...I'm new around here and my freinds and i don't know are way around. You be are guide and we'll buy you food and clothing...and a place to sleep...and if you give me those feather and come with use I'll provide you with it as long as your with us..." He said, not letting go of her hand to make sure she didn't run away. "Those feathers are Sakura's soul...and if i don't get them back she'll die. So please, come with me...you don't have to give them back yet...just stay with us for a little while and show us around?"
She let out a sigh. "Fine, but get in my way and I'll leave you here. And I'll keep the feathers too, got it?" She growled, giving in. She led the way back towards town, keeping a wary eye on the border, mostly to make sure they stayed within the border and finally relaxed a little as they grew farther away. "Are you're friends still at the same spot?"
Syaoran nodded. "They should be," he said calmly as he followed her, then smiled. "Thank you," he said as he walked. "Oh, I'm syaoran by the way," he said as he followed.
She looked back at him through the corner of her eye. "Syaoran, huh? I'm Kitsune." She walked on silently for a few more moments. "Oh... by the way, how did you get here? Like I said, the only way in is magic. Is one of you're friends able to do that?"
He nodded. "Sorta...Mokona is helping us travel through worlds..."
"Mokona? So there's you, Sakura, and Mokona huh? What about the other one?" She asked, folding her arms behind her head as she walked.
"Theres also Fai-san and Kuro-san." he said, then saw Sakura and the others.
She looked a little confused. "That makes five, but I only see three people." She cocked her head slightly. Could she be missing anyone? No... there were still only two others there, so then why did he say five different names? She wondered.
Syaoran looked around. "Where's Kurogane-san?" He asked calmly. Fai smiled calmly and shrugged. "I don't know where Kurotan went." "DAMN IT STOP CALLING ME THOSE STUPID NAMES!" yelled a man as he stepped out from behind the corner. "I had to go pay that guy for his troubles...because of Fai over there!" he growled walking over angerly. "Awe Koro-tan...your so mean..." Fai powted. Sakura blinked then smiled at Kitsune. "Hello."
Her eyes traced over their group. Syaoran... Fai-san...Kurogane-san...Sakura... "So where's this fifth person...erm...mokona was it?" She asked, blinking. She tilted her head slightly, her arms still folded behind her head.
Mokona pounced up infront of her face. "Mokona here! Mokona here!" Said the white pork bun. "boink boink...you have sakura feathers!" it said bouncing.
"Well that's new." She said, plucking Mokona off her. "We don't have any... friendly... creatures around here. Anyways, if you want somewhere to stay, I know a place, but it's not exactly a royal palace." She said, watching Kurogane and Fai with a bit of amusement.
Syaoran smiled. "Thats fine," he said calmly. "First...do you know any places to gamble?" Kurogane asked calmly.
"Gamble? Not really... no one likes to gamble around here. Stuff is to scarce to gamble it all away around this place, so everyone would rather hold on to what they have. After all, there's not really any place to raise animals here, or grow crops. Most of the poor people around here don't have enough to buy food a lot of the time."
Syaoran sighed, "Thats not good..." He said and looked at Sakura. "Hey Sakura, come here for a sec." said Fai as he got an idea.
"Every month or so goods are transported here from another land far off. You can get there by walking, but if you step outside the barrier and you get into trouble, you can't get back in, and besides that the next city is at least a hundred miles away. Magic is the only thing that works to keep those creatures out, so unless you're able to do magic you won't make it, no matter how strong or fast you are, and even those who can use magic just teleport to the next city, so it's pretty isolated. Everything here is expensive, but the people here find ways to get by. The jobs pay well, but even then you need a pretty good job to be successful around here." Her hands rested her her hips. "Unfortunately there are certain requirements for getting a job, and those that a lot of younger people qualify for are usually too poor to afford getting those jobs and so don't have much money. That's why we steal stuff rather than buying it."
Syaoran nodded. "I see..." He said, then looked at Fai who was whispering to Sakura. Sakura smiled and nodded. "Yeah, lets try." She giggled, and looked at them. "Okay..." She closed her eyes and then she heard a humming, and started to glow "..."
Kitsune's eyes widened slightly and she folded her arms over her chest. "What the...?" She looked at Fai then her gaze shifted sideways to Syaoran. "Any clue what's going on?"
Syaoran shook his head no, but Fai was smirking. "Just watch." Sakura started to float above the snow as it suddenly got warm around them, and the snow started to melt.
She watched and blinked a bit curiously, if she had animal ears they'd probably be perked forward, and her animilistic nature and appearance would almost make one think she was an animal, though she was indeed human. Her gaze slipped over to Fai-san for a moment before it slid over to Sakura again.
Sakura stopped floating and slowly came back to the ground, then stopped glowing and opened her eyes. "Ok then," she said. Fai smiled. "Well?" he asked and Sakura smiled. "We should be able to get a job over there," she said pionting to a shop.
Kitsune blinked and looked over to where Sakura was pointing and blinked, leaning over slightly and narrowing her eyes before she jumped back. "Ah! You don't wanna get a job at that place!" She blurted, her eyes going as wide as full moons.
Sakura looked at her. "Why?" she asked, tilting her head to one side cutely.
"Well for one the building is practically falling apart, even though it doesn't look like it." She said, holding up her index finger and her eyes shut. "Most of the time they make a good sum of money, but the owner doesn't pay his employees very well in comparison to how much money they make, and compared to other shops. But even more than that the guys a total pervert. No one ever wants to work with him, only people who are in the gutter and are having a hard time getting by ever go to him looking for work. And the place has never once passed a health inspection."
Fai laughed. "Well right now we don't have much of a choice...but let's see if walking around will spike any more job oppurtunities." he smiled calmly and Sakura nodded.
"Don't worry, I know the perfect place to look!" Kitsune blurted.
