I love Tsubasa Resevoir Chronicles! Syaoran's my fave character, and FaiSyao is my fave pairing, KuroSyao after, then RyuuSyao, and I think I'm gonna like EagleSyao as well. I like crack-ish pairings, but I really do like these pairings, don't ask why. I'm weird that way. Anyways, this will probably be the first serious multi-chap FaiSyao story in the whole archive, so go me! I'll update Broken Smile soon, and just to let you know, Madara, Pein, and Itachi's New Pet is up for adoption, so someone please take it! The Sun Turns Black, King Edmund's Case: The Death of Lord Cane, and the Gintama sequel will be updated/coming soon!
Anyways, hope you like!
Without further adieu,
Read, Enjoy, and Review!
Chapter One: Eh! Syaoran's Getting Married?
.
Syaoran looks at Fai then looks back down with a tint of red on his cheeks, if Fai notices then he doesn't comment. Kurogane notices but "humphs", Sakura smiling obliviously.
"Buu~" Mokona squeals, attacking Syaoran's head. Syaoran startles, Kurogane only sticking out a hand to stop him from falling. "That was a surprise attack! One of Mokona's 108 secret techniques~"
"Thanks, Kurogane-san." Syaoran says gratefully. "You startled me, Mokona!" He then says to Mokona.
Mokona giggles, "I just had a feeling that you were feeling something between embarrassed and nervous, so I thought I should snap you out of it."
Sakura looks at him curiously, Fai looking at him with a cheery smile, Kurogane looking as if he didn't care, if the kid's got a problem he can't handle then he'll come to him or Fai.
"A–Ah, it's nothing." Syaoran says, rubbing the back of his head. Someone bumps into him, making him stumble. "Sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going." He says, bowing apologetically.
"You should be," The person growls, grabbing his arm. Syaoran winces and looks up, the person about Kurogane's age with brown-hair and cold black eyes.
"I said I was sorry, sir, I wasn't paying attention to where I'd been going. I apologize." He repeats, slightly gritting his teeth.
"I don't believe you; you're coming with me to learn some manners." The man says coldly.
"Hey!" Syaoran exclaims as the man tugs his arm roughly.
"Syaoran-kun!" Sakura says in worry.
"Oi, let go of the kid, or do you want to lose that arm?" Kurogane says, putting his hand on his sword. He knows that Syaoran can take care of himself, but he doesn't like harming people unless they're a blatant threat.
"I don't think you'll want to be taking our Syaoran-kun, we have things to do." Fai says with a deceiving smile on his face.
The man growls, yanking on Syaoran's arm. "I was hoping to do this without much suspicion."
"What?" Syaoran asks.
"Eagle-sama wants this boy; he will be coming with me!" The man snaps, a car races down the street to where they are, stopping by the man and Syaoran and the door opening.
"Fai-san!" Syaoran exclaims, for some reason calling for Fai, as the man throws him in through the open door. The man himself gets in, the door barely closing before the car zooming away.
"Syaoran-kun!" Sakura says, close to tears.
"Syaoran!" Mokona sniffles.
"Oi, stop crying, we'll find him, and kill the bastard who took him and ordered him to be taken." Kurogane growls.
"Hm… Mokona, can you sense any kind of unusual power?" Fai asks.
"Y–Yeah, it's sort of near, but it feels out of reach…" Mokona responds.
"Was that person your friend?" A voice asks, somehow familiar.
They turn around to see Ryuuoh, probably this world's Ryuuoh. He looks a little grim.
"Ryuuoh-san!" Sakura says in recognition.
"Do I know you?" He asks in confusion.
"Yes, we are Syaoran-kun's friend, he's our traveling companion. Do you know the man who took him?" Fai says, redirecting Ryuuoh's attention.
"That man was Fujima Ryuugamine, an underling of Eagle Vision; Eagle's a businessman but is really a mafia head." Ryuuoh explains.
"What does he want with the kid?" Kurogane asks.
Ryuuoh blushes a little, and mutters his reply so low it's inaudible.
Kurogane growls, "Speak up!" He says scowling.
"Heneedsabride!" Ryuuoh squeaks.
"Slower, please." Fai says patiently.
"He said, 'He needs a bride.'" Mokona clarifies.
"How did you understand him?" Sakura asks.
"That's one of Mokona's 108 secret techniques!" Mokona preens.
"Oi, did you even listen to the sentence?" Kurogane growls.
"He-needs-a– OH!" Sakura says, blushing.
"Why would Eagle-san need a bride, and one who's a boy?" Fai asks.
"Well, mafia heads need to be married before thirty… And Eagle-san doesn't really care about gender; he likes the person as long as they're bright and have a strong will." Ryuuoh explains.
"Hyuu~ you know so much, Ryuuoh-san!" Fai says cheerily.
Said teen looks away a little sadly, "…Yeah, I guess so." He says softly.
"Is there any way to find the kid?" Kurogane asks.
"He should be at his building, but you can't just storm in there!" Ryuuoh starts, then adding the last part as he sees Kurogane and Fai exchange looks.
"And why the hell shouldn't we?" Kurogane growls, glaring at Ryuuoh.
"Because, he's got a lot of people under him. And even if you get Syaoran-san back, Eagle won't let him go that easily. You need a plan, and Syaoran-san looked like he'd be able to handle himself." Ryuuoh says firmly.
Fai sighs, looking at Kurogane who looks like he's itching to ignore Ryuuoh's advice.
"I–I think we should do what Ryuuoh-san says." Sakura says softly, Mokona in her arms.
Kurogane's eyes flash but he grunts his assent, Fai smiles, having suspected Kurogane's soft spot for Sakura a while ago, he knows it's mutual.
"Do you have a place to stay? Or would you like to come to my place?" Ryuuoh asks.
"We've actually been looking for a place to stay, so if you'd be willing to find us a place to stay, it'd be kind." Fai replies.
"It's no problem, you can stay for as long as you like." Ryuuoh says, turning around. "Come on, it's just a little ways away from here."
OoO-I OBJECT!-OoO
Everything had passed by like a blur for Syaoran: abducted by a strange man, thrown into a car, a collar put on his neck, the man who'd abducted him told him that if he ran then he'd be shocked unconscious, then dragged out of the car inside of a very tall and elegant-looking building when reaching their destination, given to a tall black-haired man who looked at him with only a hint of pity, lead up a clear glass elevator, and then finally lead to a room where a man with white-hair was waiting for him.
"Ah, you are Syaoran-kun, are you not?" The man asks, a smile on his lips but a calculating look in his beautiful brown eyes.
Syaoran knows somehow that the man won't harm him, but he still keeps his guard up.
"Yes, but who are you?" He asks.
The man smiles again, "Eagle Vision, a businessman, but I lead a certain underground organization." He says.
"Is there a reason why you've taken me from my friends?" Syaoran asks.
"Straight to the point," The man says with a small sigh, "I would've hoped for a bit of small talk, but it's understandable that you'd want to know your situation." He looks at the black-haired man, who only looks back at him blankly. "I need a bride."
Syaoran blinks, then stares at Eagle as if he'd grown two heads.
"Me, marry, you?" Syaoran says blankly, making motions to further emphasize his point.
Eagle laughs, an extremely charming sound, making Syaoran blush. "Yes, you marry me. I must say, you are adorable when confused."
Syaoran's face was so red you'd think he was a tomato.
"You're not exactly against the fact that you'd be marrying a man so much as marrying itself," The black-haired man comments, his voice low and gorgeous without trying.
"Hm, Lantis has a point… Do you like anyone who's a boy?" Eagle says, looking at Syaoran with curious eyes.
Syaoran's blush grows a shade of red that surpasses that of even a lobster.
"I, um, yeah." Syaoran replies, not knowing why he does so. But then his eyes turn a little sad. "But I don't think he'll ever like me back…"
Eagle's eyes soften, Lantis standing stoically at his side, his eyes also softening.
"Syaoran-kun, though my methods of inviting you to come meet me were a bit… unorthodox, I still chose you to become my wife because you're bright, and I can sense a strong will to live. If the man you like doesn't passes you up, then he'd be a fool to." Eagle says, completely serious.
Syaoran blushes slightly, but he smiles. "Thank you, Eagle-san." Then he frowns a little, "Eagle-san, why do you need a bride?"
"In my other business I'm required to have a bride before thirty, though it doesn't matter if it's boy or girl. I'm sorry that you have no choice in this matter, but it might've been my fault for that…" Eagle says, looking a little regretful.
"What do you mean?" Syaoran asks.
"Ryuugamine-kun went to the trouble of asking Yuuko-san who'd be the best match for me, he gave up his ability to laugh as the price." Eagle says, a mixture of guilt and sadness on his face. "Yuuko-san told him that the there were three matches for me and my business… One of them was out of the question," He says this with a small glance at Lantis, "The other I've known for awhile, but I wouldn't have been able to let him get too involved with me…" He looks pained. "And you were the third, Yuuko-san told me that you traveled dimensions, but that was it. And I chose you… I know it's a bit selfish of me, you probably have a life, and I'm taking you from it. I apologize in advance, but I cannot let you go." Eagle says.
Syaoran understands, but he can't help the surge of anger bubbling in his stomach.
He sighs, "Eagle-san, I understand, but you must know that I still feel upset about this." He tells him.
Eagle nods, "I do understand. The wedding is in a week, it was being prepared for for a while, so all that will need to be done is your dress fitting."
The words make it seem a little more realistic, Syaoran realizes. He doesn't know how he'll feel when seeing the altar… Wait! No, his friends will come and rescue him before that can happen. He just needs to believe in them.
"Lantis will take you to your room, dinner will be done soon so we can eat in a little while. Tomorrow we can get you fitted for your dress and try to get to know each other better, we are going to be spending a while together, though it may not be as long as I think…" He says, the last part whispered so Syaoran can't hear.
Syaoran realizes that Eagle says "dress" instead of "suit".
"Eh? 'Dress', what do you mean?" He asks, looking a little weary of the answer.
Eagle smiles, making Syaoran feel a little relieved for having distracted Eagle from his sorrowful thoughts, he's confused as to why he feels relieved but ignores it when Eagle speaks.
"Syaoran-kun, you are the bride, as such you must wear a dress." He replies.
Syaoran nearly face-plants, "B–But I'm a boy!" He protests.
Eagle laughs, "That doesn't matter."
"Eagle, let him go to his room now." Lantis says, He's tired and should rest for a little while because of the day's events, goes unsaid, but Eagle knows.
"Okay, take good care of him." Eagle tells him, slightly teasing him.
Lantis looks at him with slight annoyance but nods, opening the door for Syaoran to leave through first.
Lantis walks after him and closes the door, Eagle then walks over to the window, which has a wonderful view of the city. A hacking cough rips through his throat, causing him to shudder and put a hand on the window for support. He withdraws his hand from his mouth, feeling a sickeningly familiar warm liquid on it.
"My time is measured by an hourglass, one where the grains of sand left in the glass are quickly running out." He murmurs, eyes fixated on the blood on his hand. He then closes his eyes, whispering a name.
"Ryuuoh…"
Yup, this story is EagleRyuu! And yes, it is also LantisHika and KuroSaku! Unconventional pairings (except for LantisHika) I know, but I find them cute!
Hope you liked!
