Dear Reader,
This is going to be another epic fanfiction. Hopefully it won't be as big as Book of Days (which still needs to be updated…oops…). I hope you like it. This was a plot bunny that came out of nowhere and smacked me in the face. I'll be putting the disclaimers at the end of the chapter so that people won't be spoiled for the plot. I still have to decide where to post this thing. Anyway… Enjoy the Introduction to my newest epic fanfic: "Spiral's Curve".

Glass.
Sand heated and cooled by fire and wind.
Smooth and clear and unforgiving.
Visually non-existent.
Physically daunting.
Unyielding.
Cold.
Uncaring.
Unfeeling.
Not even a milimeter thick.
So thin and fragile.
So strong and unbreakable.
A barrier between them .
So small an obstacle.
So great an obstacle.
Blocking one from the other.
He could barely feel the warmth of her hands pressed against his. Her tiny, delicate hands dwarfed by his. Behind her and all around them pieces of the world were breaking apart and floating upward towards the cavernous maw above.Behind her the Chamber of Fayth glowed and trembled and keened with power unleashed. The Aeon trapped within struggling to be freed, to bind its soul to hers. Above Sin waited. Watching. Patient. Above the Fayth spun in a blue white cyclone of water and light. He didn't care about that. Nothing mattered. Nothing but her and what blocked her from his grasp. So close. So far.
All that he saw was her. The soft resignation and intense sadness in her eyes. Those Al Bhed green irises filling with tears. Her lips moved but he couldn't hear her. She wasn't afraid. There was little she was afraid of. There was no fear. Not for herself. Only grief and a terrible resignation. He held enough fear for the both of them. A soundless growl of rage escaped his throat as his hands clenched into fists and he pounded against the barrier until his knuckles bruised and his skin broke open and blood stained the already scraped and scarred skin of his arms. He only stopped when she smacked the barrier with the palms of her hands and shook her head violently, worry open on her face. A choked sob of frustration rose in his throat and his eyes blurred as he slumped, defeated. She smiled, small and trembling.
Then her eyes began to glow with a summoner's light. And the glow spread until her entire body was alight. Behind her tendrils of light from the Chamber stretched and lengthened. From above the cyclone of souls flashed and reached downward. The Chamber flashed and the tendrils seemed as wings above her back, gently lifting her away. He yelled and pounded his fists desperately against the glass. There was no sound. None but the faint Hymn which could not be silenced, even after all this time. It was only when her reaching fingers left his that she screamed, showing him how terrified she was. Fear. She was afraid. She scrabbled desperately at the smooth surface. Her lips forming his name and hands grasping towards him helplessly. And it was only when she disappeared into the darkness that his mouth formed her name in a hopeless cry.
"SAKURAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!"

The mutual warmth that is unknown
A single pane of glass
Declares the beginning of everything…

To those of you who guess correctly, I send my love! Yes! A Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles/ Final Fantasy X Crossover! I was playing X-2 around the same time as I was reading the manga. I binge read the entire manga and then spent more time than I should obsessing over it. Not healthy in the brain space was I when my psychosis birthed this little gem. I'll be attempting to keep to the manga as much as possible, but soon, in accordance to the f4#'d up plot of Tsubasa, I'm going to have to go my own way. Because of the fact that I am an obsessed fan and the fact that I'm reading a fanlation, some this will be different according to my own mental translation and many hours of debate with my friends. We'll see how this ends up. And no I'm not abandoning Book of Days. I'll be updating it according to my inspiration…
On a side note… To those who have never played Final Fantasy X and are about to leave out of confusion… Worry not! The next chapter is a prologue in which I try to summarize FFX and the history of the fanfic. But I really suggest you play the game. It kicks $$...
I don't own Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles.
I don't own Final Fantasy X, X-2.
Love To My Friends and Loved ones.
Stay safe
Stay healthy
Sincerely,
Starr Bryte
