Chapter One- Lillian Komaki and the Country of Akimaru
Syaoran, Sakura, Fai, Kurogane, and Mokona landed into the next world with a thud. If you want to be exact they were in someone yard. Fai noticed that they had landed in a flowerbed with a type of flower he did not recognize, it was a pretty purple color though. It was probably summer he went on to figure, though it was cool outside. It was probably cool because it was pouring down a drenching rain. That's when he saw her sitting up there. A girl about 17 was perched on top of a deck that was probably six feet tall. The deck was connected to what was most likely her house. She was wearing tight black leggings that went just below her knees, a large purple sweater that hung slightly off her petite frame, there was an odd belt hanging around her waist, and she was barefoot. She took another drag on the cigarette that she was smoking as she locked eyes with Fai.
Pale blue eyes met with bright green eyes. Her shaggy black hair hung down to the middle of her back. It was dry like the rest of her protected by the small part of roof coming off of the porch. Only a minute had pasted since they dropped into this world. And only a second pasted before the girl broke their eye lock. The next thing Fai knew she was in front of him with a gun held to his head.
"Just who the hell are you and what is your business here," it wasn't a question. It was a demand.
"Who the hell are you?" questioned Kurogane.
"Are you asking to be shot?" she glared.
"Don't mind Kuro-sama, he can be very rude," Fai smiled.
"I asked who you are and why you're here," she demanded again glaring. "Don't make me ask again."
"My name is Syaoran," he introduced himself. "This is Princess Sakura, Fai, Kurogane, and Mokona Modoki."
"Mokona is Mokona," it laughed; unaware of the danger they were in.
"We're here looking for my feathers," Sakura answered.
"Feathers?" Lillian questioned, not letting her guard down.
"I have half the mind to try and pull that gun out of her hand, there's too much risk that someone will get shot though," Kurogane thought.
"Yes," Sakura nodded. "They contain my memories."
"Mokona do you sense any feathers?" Syaoran asked.
"Yes, Mokona senses a feather," it replied after a few minutes of thinking. "But it's really faint."
"Were do you come from," she demanded though not as harsh this time.
"We come from many different places, we travel dimensions," Syaoran answered.
"Now who the hell are you?" Kurogane demanded. "And get that gun out of our faces."
The girl looked at them with a half-smirk on her face. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity, wonder, excitement, however they were still tough, and menacing. Yet if one looked beyond all this they would see hints of kindness and fear.
"We don't mean you any harm," Fai stated, the rain and gun started to get to him. But mostly it was the gun.
"My name is Lillian Komaki," Lily replied. "Call me Lily if you like. Now come inside out of the rain before you catch your deaths."
Lily slide her gun back in the holster around her waist. Gracefully she jumped back up onto the deck without bothering to use the stairs; another graceful jump took her from the landing and onto the deck itself. When she landed she put out the cigarette she was smoking with the heel of her foot. Kurogane noticed that she didn't even bat and eye she felt no visible pain.
"When tomorrow comes you are going to help me replant those pansies," she stated with a half-smile.
"Pansies?" Sakura asked.
"Those lovely purple flowers that you squished with your rough entrance to this world," Lily explained.
Syaoran looked confused and unsure of what to say. Was this the same girl that had just pulled a gun on them? Also why didn't their entrance freak her out? Could she have been expecting them?
"Well are you coming in?" Lily asked as she held open the door. "I won't bite, honest."
"Thank you for your kindness Lillian-san," Sakura replied. "Syaoran I think that we should stay here. At least for the night."
"Please no honorifics," Lily muttered.
"I agree Princess," Syaoran replied. "Thank you for letting us stay here Lillian."
"Are you two insane?" Kurogane demanded. "She just put a gun to our heads and you plan on staying here?"
"You don't have to stay here you know, your welcome to sleep out in the pouring rain," Lily stated.
"Come on Kuro-puu don't be such a downer, it's not like she pulled the trigger," Fai smiled. "Why do you carry that thing anyway?"
"Protection," Lily simply answered. "Most think that this world isn't dangerous. I am one of the few that do; in time you might see that as well. Now come on in."
Syaoran, Sakura, Fai, Mokona, and Lily went on inside. Kurogane and his pride stayed outside in the rain. Lily took off her shoes once they got inside and she motioned for the others to do the same. So they removed their shoes as well.
"Poor Kuro-daddy he's going to be one sick doggy tomorrow," Mokona said.
"Kuro-daddy's pride is going to be the death of him," Fai sort of agreed with Mokona.
"Wait here," Lily told them, as she walked down a hallway.
Syaoran took this opportunity to look around the room. The walls were white, which he found odd for someone who smoked. Maybe she didn't smoke in the house he figured. There was something he recognized as TV sitting in the corner of the room, a layer of dust covering it. There were pictures hanging on the wall, pictures of a little girl and boy. One picture stuck out more than the rest it was of couple and it appeared to have been taken on their wedding day. A light blue couch set against one wall, and another one sat against the opposite wall. Between the two of them sat a coffee table were a couple remotes sat there untouched for what seemed to be the most part. In the far corner of the room, sat a bookcase that was jammed tight of books that were well read. Next to it sat a couple recliner chairs each a dark blue almost black color. The carpet was white, except for the bit of wood that was around the door where they had removed their shoes. There was a hallway leading from the front room, Lily has disappeared down that hallway and now she was returning with large fluffy towels in her arms.
"Here," she smiled, handing each one of them a towel. She already had a towel wrapped around her head, her purple sweater had been shed and in its place was a white undershirt. However she still had the halter around her waist and of course the pistol was in it. "Use these and get dry."
"Whose the other towel for?" Mokona asked. Syaoran, Sakura, and Fai had towels yet Lily was still holding one. The towels were big white, large enough to wrap around your body twice. Not only were they big but also they were also soft and fluffy.
"This one is for Mokona," Lily answered, wrapping the towel around Mokona picking him up. She gave Mokona hug, rubbing her head against his. "So does Mokona like it here?"
"Mokona like it here a lot, it's so fresh," Mokona laughed happily.
Syaoran had to agree with Mokona on that it was fresh. The entire place felt pure and clean, the air smelled clean with a hint of salt in it. He wondered if there was an ocean around here, and now that he thought about it he could waves rolling in the distance. When they were done drying off Lily took their towels and put them down a shoot in the hallway.
"I'm glad that you like here," Lily smiled, but it wasn't happy her smile was that of a sad person. "Why don't I show you where your rooms are, and get you some clean nightclothes if you need them?"
"We have night cloths, but thank you for the rooms," Syaoran answered.
"Ok, then let me give you the grand tour," Lily began to lead them from room to room. "Right now were in the living room."
She led them to the dinning room. The walls where dark oak paneling and hard wood floor. The large table could have easily seated 16 people. It was a light oak table and the chairs matched it. Overhead light orange lights hung from the ceiling. She turned the lights off as they headed for the kitchen.
The kitchen was large and fancy with an island in the middle of it. There was a sliding glass screen door that led to another deck outside. It was very dark outside though so they couldn't see what her backyard looked like or even how big it was. The walls were white, and the floor was black-checkered linoleum.
"This is the kitchen, feel free to stop by for a midnight snack if you want," Lily invited. "Down there is the basement. The Landry room is down there along with some weight lifting equipment."
Lily was pointing to a door, which led down a set of stairs. She showed them the bathroom, which was semi large. There was a toilet and sink of course and then there was large shower that could have fit about 3 people. Mokona was on Lily's shoulder most of time during the tour; it gave out a loud yawn.
"You tired, Mokona?" Lily asked.
"Mokona is sleepy," it replied.
"You go to sleep if you want, I won't drop you," Lily told it, as she pulled Mokona into her arms.
"Lily is such a caring person," Fai smiled when he saw her blush a tiny bit.
"Come on let me show you to the guest rooms," Lily told them gathering her wits.
She took them up a spiral staircase to the second floor. She showed them to the bathroom on that floor. It was bigger than the last. It had a toilet and sink like the last one, along with a large bathtub that could fit 10 people and looked like it would double for a hot tub.
Across the hall she showed Sakura the room she could stay in. It was painted a light pink color. The bed had a lilac canopy hanging over it. All in all it looked like the perfect room for a girl.
"This is wonderful, it's like it was meant for a little girl," Sakura was overjoyed.
"It was," Lily sighed. She put Mokona down on a rocking chair that was padded in pink and got some pink bed sheets out of the closet and began making the bed. "This was my little sisters room. She was hit by a drunk driver when she was five."
"I'm really sorry to hear that," Sakura replied honestly.
"Thank you," Lily smiled, finishing making the bed. She went over and gave Sakura a hug. "You have no idea what the means to me."
Lily then went and proceed to show Syaoran where he could stay. His room was white like the rest of the house. She put sheets on his bed as well.
"Kurogane can take the other guest room, and the other bedroom on this floor belongs to the parents," Lily explained. "But there is another bed in my room that you can take. This way."
She led Fai up to the attic where she and her brother stayed. Near the top there was another bathroom only it was a small as walk in closet. There was a toilet, a sink, and a small shower.
"My brother and I sleep up here," Lily said laying Mokona down on her bed. "You can take that bed, I bid you a goodnight."
Lily pulled a curtain around her bed. Leaving Fai standing there wondering about her sudden change of attitude. It was hard to see but it was there. He could see her outline changing from behind the curtain. She took off her holster and hung in over the bed railing, and she set the pistol on her bedside table. The pistol went down with a small clink. Fai heard her yawn and she lied down in the bed.
Fai looked around the room. It wasn't quite an attic, there was probably another room up above the trap landing he spotted. His bed sheets were a light blue; on the bedside table was a picture of Lily. She was smiling happily and looked like a girl who had never even held a gun let alone someone who could have blown their heads off. The walls were paneled and the carpet was a plush very light blue. A large window with a seat was over on Lily's side of the room. Curtains were pulled opened and Fai could see the rain still pouring down.
"Don't worry too much about your friend," Lily mumbled softly. "There is roof all around the house, he'll be dry. And if he comes to his senses the doors are unlocked."
Fai didn't answer and instead he changed into his night cloths and lied down on the bed. He buried his head into the pillow wondering if he should go check on Kurogane. But just as he was about to do so, sleep over took him and washed him away.
