"White Manju! Couldn't we land normal for once?!" Kurogane demanded.
"Cheer up Kuro-pon, this land looks like it's full of surprises," Fay said.
"Lets just get going," replied Kurogane angrily, crossing his arms. "Where are Syaoran-kun and Sakura-chan?"
"We are over here! Fay-san, Kuro-san!" replied Syaoran and Sakura together, hands waving in the air.
"Syaoran-kun and Sakura-chan are in a weird looking contraption…Mekkyo!" Mokona's eyes widened. "Mokona sense's a feather from over there." Mokona pointed to a small building down below. It was hard to see because of the distance and darkness.
"Syaoran-kun, how are we going to get down?" Sakura asked.
"You pull on the strings to get down on the ground," replied Fay. "I have these in the world I come from. They are called hot air balloons."
"Mokona will help too. Mokona wants to do it too," he says excitedly.
"Mokona can help me guide the balloon to the ground. Isn't that right Kuro-pon?"
"Don't call me Kuro-pon, my name's Kurogane!" he pouted, "Whatever."
"Aww! Kuro-san looks so cute like that don't you think, Fay-san?" Mokona replies.
"Yes, Yes, he does. I agree."
"Cut that out!"
As the four of them guided the way down to the ground, a wind picked up the balloons and carried them away from the town. The balloon swerved horribly. Both were forced to let go of the strings they were holding. There was no use in trying to control the balloon now since the wind was too strong.
"Ahh! Syaoran-kun!" Sakura panted.
"Take my hand Princess Sakura." Syaoran said. His eyes looked sincere and calm.
"Mokona too." His head popped out from behind Sakura.
"Mokona how…?"
"It's one of Mokona's 108 secret techniques."
The next thing that happened, Syaoran, Sakura, Mokona, Fay and Kurogane crashed their balloons in a large cornfield just west of the town.
"That was thrilling," Fay said as he climbed out of the overturned basket, taking a look at the scenery around them. "It seems we got separated from Sakura-chan and Syaoran-kun again."
"Oh," Kurogane said tonelessly, with his arms crossed across his chest. "We should head toward the town and meet them there."
Kurogane and Fay suddenly froze on their spots. They sensed movement. Who would be walking around a cornfield at this time of night? Of course, it would be obvious if they saw the balloons crash, but everyone should have been sleeping by now.
"Who's there?" Kurogane demanded.
A small girl walked timidly out of the shadows. At first, she seemed just like an ordinary girl. Her style of dress was a little weird since she was wearing a black getup, more suitably for battle. The girl didn't even look any older than ten years. As Fay and Kurogane got a better look at this person, they realized she looked exactly like Sakura when she was younger.
"Who are you?" she asked.
Fay changed his expression from total astonishment to sweetness. He figured it was all right to trust this little girl. After all, she has the same soul as Sakura and probably won't be of any threat to them.
"I'm Fay and this is…"
"Kurogane," interrupted the owner of the name.
"I'm Sakura," she said.
"Sakura-san, would you help us out in finding our way back to the town?" Fay asked sweetly. "We kind of had an accident and ended up in the cornfield."
"Sakura!" A large man stepped up behind her. His voice was low pitched and course. He looked mean and arrogant, and even wore the same kind of clothes Sakura did, black battle clothes. "I asked you to eliminate the danger, not make friends with it!"
"Sorry, father. They don't seem threatening to me. All they want is to get back to the village."
"Appearances can be deceiving. Never judge a book by its cover, Sakura, never."
Suddenly, the man threw objects that looked like stars at them. Both travellers dodged them easily. The man never if took time to consider that they had their guard up. A head on attack like that wouldn't even scratch the elite that pays attention to spot trouble.
"Tsk, Tsk," Fay waved his index finger back and forth. "You shouldn't be playing with stuff as dangerous as those, especially in front of children."
Sakura's father threw another set of stars. Fay and Kurogane dodged them immediately. Kurogane was ready to strike. He took his sword out of its sheath and put it into ready position. Fay whispered something to Kurogane as they dodged yet another attempt. Kurogane frowned, but nodded his acceptance. He sheathed his sword and placed it back where it belonged.
Every single one of the mans attacks, they dodged until Sakura screamed, "Father! That's enough!" Everyone stopped what he or she was doing. "You can see they don't want to hurt you. They are not even attacking back. How are they an enemy if they don't even wish to hurt you?!" she said desperately.
Sakura took control. "I'm sorry Fay-san, Kurogane-san. My father sometimes gets carried away. If you do not have a place to stay, come stay at our place. Think of it as a gift of apology."
"Sakura!" her father pleaded.
"We don't want to be a burden on you, but if you will accept us, then we will take your offer kindly." Fay replied as Kurogane nodded in agreement.
"Of course not. We are happy to help you."
"Thank you."
I'll try to update at least once every week or two.
