A/N: (Prey) Hola. Hunter's been working pretty hard on this story, I've just been making sure everything looks right and making comments along the way for this one. It's true, I'd love your comments, and it really helps us get motivated to write more. Anyways… this is right after Tokyo, Syaoran didn't go clone mode… yet . And because of that, unfortunately, Fai still has both eyes and no cool vampire powas... yet . So, read, read, read, and find out!

We Own Nothing (cept for the story twists, made up characters, ect.)

Chapter 1: Arriving

It was a quiet day in the country of Valeria. The husbands went to work and the wives stayed home to bake bread for when their husbands returned. The children went to the shops to buy sweets and such. Yes, this was a very normal day.

However, in the back of everyone's mind and the gossip of the dinner table was the upcoming Trial of the Twins.

The Twins were vile, pure evil.

Perhaps it wasn't the two boys themselves, but it was soon known to be a bad omen to have twins be born, the worst of all lucks, everyone hoped for peace after the Trial.

Of course everyone who could would go and witness this event, nothing like this has happened in many lifetimes. The birth of the twins, the sudden death of their father and the suicide of their mother, this was quite a lot to talk about in the town squares and at the dinner tables.

There was a town that lay in the shadow of the castle, and beside this town was a vast meadow filled with wild flowers and a thin layer of frost.

The small girls in the meadow picking flowers for their mother had quite an experience that day. They had to shield their eyes and run back to the village in fear of a tornado, because a mighty wind had blown very suddenly.

If they had stayed longer they would have seen the sky drop down and release five travelers.

"Puu! We've arrived in the next world!"

"Kurosama, isn't it painful to always have people land on top of you?"

The ninja grunted, "I'm used to it by now."

"Sakura-hime, are you alright?"

"Yes, thank you Syaoran-kun."

Fai squeezed his way out o the tangled bunch, facing the opposite direction of the village and the castle. "Hmm, I wonder what kind of world we're in this time."

Mokona hopped onto Syaoran who looked at it. "Mokona, is there a feather in this world?" Mokona brought it's ears up for a moment, before replying. "Mekkyo! There is a feather here!"

"Is it in that castle, perhaps?"

"Yes! The feather is in the castle!" Mokona pointed to it.

Fai turned around to see the castle. The smile stayed on his face, but his eyes betrayed him. The ninja glanced at Fai, catching his eye.

Syaoran looked at the village then at the sky. "It's going to be dark soon, maybe we can find a place to stay in that town."

Sakura nodded and they both started toward the town, only to stop and turn around. Kurogane and Fai looked like they were having a staring… glaring contest.

Fai noticed the kids, blinked, then smiled. "Oh, right, the town. Okay… come on Kurosama!"

Kurogane growled, but didn't say anything as he followed the others.

The sun was struggling to stay in the sky when the group reached the village.

The flower girls that had run away earlier were still outside chatting when they noticed the strange people.

"Who are you? Are you travelers?"

"They don't look like they're from any of the other countries, except for maybe that one."

"Have you come to see the Sovereign?"

"I wonder why their clothes don't match."

"Will you please stop worrying about their clothes?"

Syaoran stepped forward. "We are in need of a place to stay for a couple nights, perhaps more."

"Cross, they can stay at our home, right?"

"Maybe, but then where would Mother and Father sleep?"

"Father went away on a business trip, remember?"

"Oh."

"Didn't you listen to him telling us? Do you listen to anyone anymore, Cross?"

"I listened to these people, didn't I?"

"That's different."

"How?"

"You only listened because they look interesting. Yet you completely ignored me when I told you about how I ran into this boy yesterday in the town square!"

"Were you saying something, Jenneth?"

"Aargh!"

"What?"

"You didn't even listen to Mother when she was talking yesterday evening."

"Actually, I was. She was talking about the upcoming trial for those Twins."

The two stopped bickering when they saw Fai loose his footing and fall.

"Clumsy Mage." Grumbled Kurogane. "Ooh, are you a mage? Most of the castle representatives are magicians, and the Sovereign is the most powerful magician in almost all of the countries, that is, except for the Twins." Fai tripped yet again when he was helping himself back up. "Jenneth, the Twins aren't more powerful than the Sovereign yet, really! However, the Sovereign is pretty powerful, it is actually very impressive." Cross said turning back to the group.

"Has he had this power for a long time? Did he rise up to power very suddenly? Have there been any weird occurrences recently?"

"Actually, he's a part of the royal bloodline, and nothing bad has happened except for the Twins that were born. My name is Jenneth, and that is my sister, Cross… sorry about her behavior."

"Hey!"

"And who are you?"

'My name is Syaoran, and this is Sakura." "And I'm Mokona Modoki!" Mokona jumped onto Cross' shoulder, who giggled. Fai finally managed to get up and smile. "The black one over there is Kurosa- Kurogane." Kurogane raised an eyebrow. Jenneth nodded. "And who are you?" Fai paused. "Dixis Flourite." This time the whole group raised their eyebrows, except for the two sisters, who nodded and turned. "Well, if you are going to spend the night or longer at our home, we had better go before it gets to dark."

Cross and Jenneth ran off with the group closely behind.
