Beautiful Beginnings Chapitre 1

Disclaimer: I don't anything but my OC and ideas.

Hello! Well, this is my first Tsubasa fic, and I hope it goes well. If you haven't figured it out yet, this is NOT a Fai/Kurogane story. So sorry, yaoi lovers. I just can't write yaoi right now for some strange reason.........So, onwards to Chapitre One, ne?

----------------------------------------------

A woman walked down the streets of Oto. She wore strange clothing, and kept her hood up, casting a shadow over her face. She paused, and glanced in a shop window, just for the mere sake of it. Meanwhile, she overheard two women talking.

"Have you been to that new cafe?" "You mean the Cat's Eye? Yes, I have." "Did you see the owner?" "Oh yeah! He's so cute!" "I know! I love his hair! It looks so soft! And the color! Such a nice shade of blond!" "Oh, and his eyes! They're gorgeous!" "I know! They're so blue! And it's such a beautiful blue, too! Like a clear sky!"

Oh? Well, now. This was interesting. "Excuse me? This cafe? Where is it?" "Oh, it's two streets over, that way." one of the women pointed. "And the owner? He's blond with blue eyes?" "Yes! He's really cute!" "Would you say he's about..... maybe twenty-five or so?"

"Hmm...That seems about right!" "Ok...Just one more question. His voice, is it really soft?" "Oh yes! He has such a nice voice! It's really gentle, and his laugh is amazing! It just automatically makes you want to laugh too!" "I see.....Thank you very much...."

She headed towards where the women had directed her. A light breeze caught her hood, and she grabbed it as it fluttered back. Pretty pink cherry blossoms floated on the wind, scenting the air. "Hmm....Of all the places....Never thought I'd find you in a place like this....."

Sakura looked up from her tea as the bell jangled. That meant a customer had entered the cafe. "Hello! Welcome to the Cat's Eye!" "Hello... " The visitor's face wasn't visible, but the voice was that of a woman. "Can I get you anything?" "Hm? Oh.....May I have some of the hot chocolate please?" "Of course! Be right back!" Sakura answered brightly. She scurried to make the drink. "Hnn....So unlike you...to have someone like that around....." the woman murmured.

"Here you go! It's really good!" "Thank you...." The cup disappeared under the hood, and emerged after a second. "I recognize this...." she thought to herself. "Um...Excuse me, Miss?" "Yes? Is everything alright?" Sakura asked. "Oh yes, everything's fine...I was just wondering.... Is there someone here named Fai Fluorite?"

"Oh, you mean Big Kitty?" "Big...Kitty? Um...I suppose so, yes...If this 'Big Kitty' has blond hair?" "Yes, he does.." "And his eyes are crystal blue?" "Oh yes, Fa--I mean, Big Kitty has lovely eyes.....Do you know him? Your clothes....look alot like the ones Big Kitty travels in...." "Mmmm...You could say that Fai and I go way back....."

"Ah, so you're a friend of his?" "Mhm....." "Oh, then I suppose I can tell you. Big Kitty went with Big and Little Puppy to the market. But, they should be back pretty soon. Would you like to wait here?" "If you don't mind...." the woman replied. "Oh, it's no problem at all. You are the customer after all, and like Big Kitty says, 'The customer is always right'!"

The hood turned towards the new voice. "Hi! I'm Mokona!" "Hello, Mokona...." she replied. "You're special, aren't you, Mokona-san? You came from the Dimension Witch, no?" "Yep! Yuuko sent me with Big Kitty, Little Kitty, and the Puppy Pair!" "Oh? That's nice.....Hmm..Mokona-san...Yuuko-san makes those with a wish....pay something of equal value, right?"

"Yep!" "Just out of curiosity.....What did Fai pay?" "Oh, Fai gave Yuuko this really pretty black thing!" The strangers' eyes widened. "This thing....Was it shaped like a phoenix?" "Hmmm....Yep!" "You idiot!" she hissed under her breath. "Hmm? Did you say something?" Mokona and Sakura asked simultaneously. "It's nothing...." "Oh, and when we needed help in another world, Fai gave Yuuko this really pretty stick!" The woman's head dropped to the countertop. "He didn't..." she whispered.

"Are you ok, ma'am?" "I'm alright.....Just a bit tired, that's all...." She lifted herself back up, and glanced around the cafe. Her gaze fell upon the piano sitting in the corner. "Oh...A piano...." Sakura followed her gaze. "Yes...Big Kitty bought it...." "Has he shown you how to play anything?" "Huh? Oh, he said he didn't know how to play. It really is a shame, because the sounds that come out of it are really nice....."

"Oh, really now? He said that?" "Yep! Fai held his hands up over the keys, and closed his eyes all serious-like....and pushed one key down....Mokona was really disappointed! Then, he said that he couldn't play!" "Hmmm....That's very interesting, Mokona-san......."

A commotion was heard outside as the door opened. Three men entered, each carrying bags filled with groceries. They laid down their burdens, and turned to one another. "Calm down, Big Puppy!" a gentle voice teased. "Really, Kurogane-san! There's no need to--!" "Hold really still, mage, and I'll cut you into a million pieces!" "Ah! Kuro-tan is angry! Oh no!" said mage laughed.

They turned to the counter as a voice spoke. "Found you!" The strange woman stood, and twisted around. The hand jerked back the hood, revealing the speaker. "Well, I finally found you...Fai."
