Summary: Syaoran and the gang end up in a world full of magic. All seems regular, just like when they go to new worlds in search of a feather, but it also happens to hold more than one feather. And they are located very far from each other, and each of the feathers guarded by either magic, brute force, or unholy creatures, or more likely, a combination of the three...((a bit of SxS))

Disclaimer: I do NOT own any of the characters, or materials that CLAMP has produced. Otherwise, I wouldn't be writing fanfics, won't I? I'd be writing the real thing!

A/N:

Hiya! This is my first chapter, first story too, so don't be harsh. Comments are appreciated especially constructive criticism. Flames are not nice, but send them in anyway, if you feel like it.

On with the story! (Gulps)

"Mokona can't wait! Ka Puu!!" yelled the little white creature as it went up in the air with a flash of bright light, which enveloped the small group, which included the archeologist Syaoran, the princess Sakura, the magician Fay and the master swordsman Kurogane.

They were starting to travel to a new world, which they were used to by now, since they were working together in order to retrieve Sakura's feathers, which contained fragments of her soul, her memories. They had just finished collecting the feather found it that world, that was protected by ninja squids and stealth whales, which was easier said than done.

And then, the group, still enveloped by the light, shrank into small, shiny balls, which were swallowed by Mokona, and the balls were plunged into the passages connecting worlds to one another.

The group, now in their regular form, passed through the roads connecting worlds rather quickly, and then landed on the world, on top of a cliff overlooking a medium-sized town with a tower as its most interesting feature, in a not-so-favorable position.((A/N: Lol, they're like when they land in new worlds, one on top of the other.))

Kurogane, as usual, was at the bottom, face down ay the dust, with Fay lying on top of his muscular back, still smiling, and Syaoran landing sideways across Fay's body, Sakura falling down neatly, on top of the three men, and finally, with Mokona a feet away from the tangled group.

"Sakura, are you alright?" was Syaoran's immediate query when the group got untangled from their obvious mess from landing. He was very concerned about the princess, "Yes, I'm fine," Sakura responded politely, looking at Syaoran with a bit of gratitude, for she had something soft to land on. A moment of rather awkward silence passed, which was broken by Kurogane, with his remark ok, "you white bun," he said, addressing Mokona, who was watching them happily, "can't you make us land a little smoother?" he asked irritably, wiping some dust off his black robes.

"Aww, Kuro-rin," responded both Fay and Mokona cheerily, calling Kurogane with his pet name, "as least we had landed on something soft!" Fay added casually, which left Kurogane fuming at his insulting remark, running very quickly at a smirking Fay, with Mokona tailing behind him. He was trying to catch them, but nimble Fay proved to quick for the warrior, who was out of breath quickly, while Fay was still laughing and smiling.

Syaoran was ignoring the rather childish display in front of him, although a trace of a small smile was upon his face, and Sakura was giggling quietly, watching Fay throw minor insults at the breathless Kurogane, who was still muttering swears, and sweat on visible on his forehead and making his hair shine weakly in the morning sun of the world.

"Mokona, do you sense a feather in this world?" Syaoran asked, looking at the little white creature, which was happy, as always. Mokona squinted in concentration of detecting a feather, and after a while, responded, "Yes, I can, and I think there are more than one feather in this world," it said, a bit tired from concentration, but happy since it discovered that feathers were in the world. "Since I'm detecting multiple sources of energy, and the closest one," is paused, turning to look and point at the tower that was overshadowing the town, "is located in that tower," it finished explaining.

"Well, that's typical," said Kurogane, "the feathers are always located in somewhere secure," referring to previous worlds, where the feathers were highly valued and protected due to their awesome power. "I wonder where the other feathers are located," asked Sakura rather softly, and Syaoran added, "yeah, me too," while turning to look at Mokona, who was the one who was capable of detecting the feathers. "I think they're far from this place," Mokona responded, after a moment of effort and concentration, "since their presence are very faint from this cliff," Mokona explained to the young princess, and to the young archeologist who asked that query.

"Anyway," called Fay, who was looking at the town with interest, "we can't just stand here, let's move on!" And the group walked towards the town with the feather in cheerful silence, ignorant to the magic, power and danger in that tower, the deserts of the world and the terrible stalker of the waves. But for now, they strolled towards the town in search of the first feather...

A/N: Well, that's the first chapter of my first story!!! (Celebrates) Review if you wish, and criticize if you want, and praise if you desire it. But please, please give feedback. Is the writing too close together? Those little things, alright? I'm new to this, so I really need help.

And I'll post the next chapter within three weeks, since I'm kinda busy, and don't hate me if its short! Or boring. Or sucky. Or stupid. Lol...

Well, ja!
