Our little family

Chapter one:all good things

It was another new world to them. Mokona had dropped them in a wooden area on a small mountain. From where they landed they could see the small town, but it was still quite a walk away and the sun was already low in the sky. Kurogane had spotted a cave they could rest in for the night, everyone happily agreed to that. Syaoran and Sakura decided to explore the small area. The trees weren't very thick so Fai could still keep his eyes on them.

"Himi watch where you step, some of the roots are sticking out of the ground." Syaoran said to his princess. Hr carefully stepped over a uprooted part of one tree. He paced his gloved hand against the hard wood and prepared to help princess Sakura over. This brown eyes were general and caring as he watched her stumble along after him.

"Don't worry Syaoran, I'll be okay" she smiled at his concern. Her big green eyes closed for only a second and she began the fall forwards. Syaoran being her knight in shining armor, caught her by the arm and pulled her up again. "Thank you."

Syaoran blushed at her words. He was hopelessly in love with her. Yet she didn't remember a thing about him, she barely remembered anything about herself. Even though Syaoran tried so hard to help her remember. But her memory of him was the price that was paid for them to travel to find princess Sakura's feathers.

Fai found himself chuckling at the two. He believed that some where deep inside Sakura still remembered the love she felt for him. But then again, he knew the truth about the two. It was something he had be told long ago.

"Oi mage, be useful and make a fire." Kurogane said snapping him out of his trance.

"What is Kuro-puu too tired to make a fire for own little children." Fai smiled at him placing his hands on his cheeks to hold his head up. He blinked his long blond lashes at Kurogane.

" MY NAME IS KUROGANE!" The back haired ninja yelled making Fai pretend to wince and move away. Mokona started to laugh like she always did. "And stop calling them our children. I wouldn't want to have a family with a lazy easygoing person like you. I would end up doing all the work like I do now. Move back I'll make the fire myself."

"Of coarse cause Kuro-puppy is the best!" Fai exclaimed with to much enthusiasm for Kurogane's liking. It was like he totally ignored all the insults that he had just said.

"Kuro-puppy is the best!" Mokona joined in on the cheering, as she pranced in from her own little walk.

Shut up!" Kurogane turned his attention to the blond and not the fire he was making. Fai hadn't seemed nearly as cheerful as he normally would when they land somewhere new. He knew the kids wouldn't notice, if Mokona did she never pointed it out. The fake smile was plastered on his face again. Once' just once he would like to see a real smile reach those blue eyes.

After almost burning himself Kurogane turned his attention back to the fire, and Fai's eyes were once again on the youngest two of their group. Mokona bounced happily by the now lit fire, warming her fur. The cave had grown a bit colder than when they had first entered it.

It wasn't a very deep cave, more like a little bit of the mountain was carved inwards a little. It still gave Fai a good view of the area. From what he could tell, the ground was worn and there was a nice clean path down the side of the mountain. Climbing the path was most likely a popular hobby of many townsfolk.

Syaoran and Sakura walked over a few minutes later, arms filled with berries and other fruits. Fai smiled at this, he knew that most fruit were naturally sweet and Kurogane was no fan of sweets. If he gave the children a hard time about the fruits being sweet, Fai was sure he still had some food form the last world they visited.

As they settled down and began to eat, which as Fai thought Kurogane did complain about the sweetness if the food and demanded something else, Fai couldn't help but to wonder how many more feathers needed to be collected, how many feathers until they came to his or Kurogane's world. Not everything can last forever, all good things come to an end.

Syaoran, Mokona and Sakura all fell into an easy sleep. Kurogane and Fai on the other hand had a much harder time finding a much needed rest. Fai slumped down against the wall on the opposite side of the cave than the children, it made it easier to watch them. Kurogane was laying on his side looking at Fai. Well more accurately he had zoned out in Fai's direction. He almost mussed the faint smile on the blond's face as he began to fall asleep. It was the first time the the ninja had really seen the mage smile. Now if only he would always smile like that.

Fai saw out of the corner of his eye that Kurogane had fallen asleep. He stood ever so quietly and pulled the blanket the was barely on Sakura up. Mokona stirred with startled Fai.

"Oh, Fai-San it's you. Mokona had a good dream." She yawned

"Really, what was this good dream about." Fai smiled at her

"A beautiful world covered in snow. We all went there, it looked so pretty but that's when u woke up."

Fai stiffened a little at her description of the world, but he sweetly said " That sounds so pretty now it's time to get back to that good dream isn't it?"

Yes all good things must come to an end.

I wanted to try a multi-chapter. Just remember that your flames make my red hair look cooler. ^-^
