Chapter one.
Holding a star.
He felt the pull on all of his body. The same tingle through out his skin. His eyes closed as he was being pulled through into another reality. Another world. He was used to it. Used to being sucked in by Mokona and ending up in a new place. That was the bad part. He was used to it. It didn't last long though. It merely seemed like seconds and he was falling through actual air from a worlds atmosphere into trouble. It always seemed to be trouble. Not this time though. This time he landed in a field. A wide field with white flowers everywhere. He didn't look far to find Fai and the others. Mokona sat on top of Kurogane.
" Why does he always land on me!" He yelled flicking Mokona off.
"Mokana thinks Kurogane is comfy!" He said landing on Fai's shoulder. Syaoran stood up.
"Where's Sakura?" Fai let a warm smile spread his face.
" I think I found her." He said pointing. She sat not fair off holding a set of flowers. Syoran came to her side.
" They smell so good Syorankun! She said holding them up to him. He looked at her smiling sadly a moment then smelled them.
" They smell nice…"
" Like Mokona does!" The creature said jumping up and down on Fai's shoulder. " You're joking. You smell like a wet dog…" Kurogane said smirking.
" Makona smells like Makona!"
" Where are we?" Syoran said standing up straight.
" Not sure…" Fai said.
" Can you feel anything Makona?" Syoran asked him.
" Not sure. Makona feels lots of energy." " Lots?" Syoran repeated. " Makona feels lots of magic here. Makona not sure where all it is coming from."
"hm…" Fai said looking at the ground. " Could it be…the flowers?" They all looked at him. " They look familiar to me…"
" Hey!" A boy called running up. " What are ya'll doing here? This is private land!"
" Sorry." Fai said smiling. " Didn't mean to intrude."
" Makona is sorry too!" The boy looked up.
" excuse me…but what is that thing?"
" Makona is Makona!" Makona said smiling. The boy looked both ways before leaning in.
" Come with me…"
They fallowed the boy into a house next to a windmill.
" My name's Kyo…I am a harvester of the Crystal Flowers here…"
" I'm Fai." Fai said introducing himself. " This is Syoran…Sakura…makona…and that over there is Kurobouzu."
" It's Kurogane for the last time!" He said turning on him.
" So you…you didn't come here from the government?" The boy said softly.
" The government?" Syaoran asked.
" Yes…we have been getting letters for months saying that some men from the government are going to take our land and turn it into a market…" The boy said even more softly.
" Who's 'we'?" Fai asked setting his head on his hands. It was a usual gesture of his.
" Me and my dad. He went off a month ago to confront the court about this…but he hasn't returned. It's been just me and my sister here since then."
" You have a sister?" Syaoran asked.
" Yes, she's only seven."
" And your mother?" Fai questioned.
"She died giving birth to Asuna…"
" That's you sister's name?" He nodded.
" The government hasn't stopped sending the letters so that means my father hasn't been to the court yet. It was only supposed to be a week long trip. But…" All was silent a moment before he continued. " So I was wondering if you were from the government or the court to tell me if my father was okay."
" Well we are sorry." Fai said smiling at him. " We're not." The boy smiled back. " Nah, it's alright. My father's okay. So where are you guys from?"
" Far away." Syaoran said. " Very far away."
" Oh. So you have no place to stay?"
The boy asked.
" No we don't." Fai said as Mokona jumped off his shoulder.
" Oh, well why don't you stay here? It's been a while since we've had company! And it's what my father would want. You can have my room." He said standing. " Stay as long as you like!"
" Thank you…" Syaoran said.
" No problem!" The boy responded, " I'm sure you have a long ways ahead of you!"
He found her sitting in the field once more. Surrounded by flowers. The night sky over her twinkling. He hair falling over her shoulders. It had grown long. Longer than what it had been. He walked out there quietly.
" You shouldn't be out here alone. She jumped, startled by his presence.
" Oh! Syaorankun! I was just…"
" You don't have to explain yourself." He said softly.
" The flowers…they just…make me happy…" She said looked down at them.
" They make me smile." Syaoran looked down a moment.
" yeah…" A fire fly was flying over her head. He reached up and pulled it from it's place.
" You can make a wish on those." She said smiling at him. " I remember being told that if you catch them, you have caught a wishing star and you can wish off it, but I don't remember where I heard it from…" Syoran winced at her words. How she couldn't remember… " So make a wish!" She beamed at him. He looked at her. Deep into her eyes and smiled.
" I will…" and he made a wish. A wish that he hoped would someday come true.
