A/N: M for violence, and sexual themes later on.

This fic will be loosely based on Shadow of the Colossus with the idea of these roaming, massive giants in a breathtaking environment, but things will be changed accordingly. I was just sitting there one day trying to think up a story, and I saw the little info manual lying there, and said 'hey why not'. This will be rated M for later chapters. If all goes well, I'd like to update this at least once a week. I am making this because there aren't many SxS M's in here. It's more like the FxK section, lol. So be patient, it'll get there eventually provided if this story is liked. If you don't like the idea of Limes, or potential Lemons, I apologize. I do however, plan to keep anything that happens tasteful.

Summary: Syaoran, Sakura, Fai, Kurogane and Mokona have entered an expansive, beautiful new world, filled with unlikely dangers on a mammoth scale. Their arrival quickly turns to chaos, as they are separated into two groups. While they struggle to find a way to reach each other, as well as Sakura's feather, new discoveries on a passionate level emerge.

Chapter 1: Breathing Mountain

A bright stream of light pierced through the heavens, and collided rapidly, and roughly against cold, mossy stone. The swirling vortex of lambent luster churned about at the feet of four figures, and eventually dispersed in a quick, sharp blast. An intense mist immediately washed over the group and with an annoyed huff, the tallest spoke first, "Oi, White Manju...Where have we fallen this time?" The deep voice demanded, as the little round creature poked its head out from under the tattered green cloak of a boy, who was protectively holding onto the small frame of a female; she in turn, gently clutched at the black fabric of his shirt. "Mokona doesn't know..." The small critter replied, lowering its head. The tall black-clad ninja scoffed.

"Hnn..it appears that we've landed atop a small mountain." A thin, light-haired man said, taking a few steps forward as he lifted a hand to his brow; gazing over the summit's ledge. The visibility was low, due to the heavy amount of moisture lingering in the atmosphere; dense fog clung against the rigid rock that jutted out violently below.

"Kuro-rin~!" The wizard sang, "How shall you go about getting us down from here?" He chanted cheerfully, turning to the other man. "It's Kurogane!" He roared in response; stiffening his profile. A giggle was shared between the mage, and auburn-haired girl, while Mokona hopped onto Kurogane's shoulder, and proceeded with more sing-song remarks. "Listen to Fai-mommy!" Mokona said, earning a disgusted growl from the shinobi.

"Sakura-hime?" Uttered a kind voice; a whisper amongst the gleeful teasing, and grouchy remarks made by their companions. "Syaoran-kun?" The princess responded, tilting her head, and gazing up into the warm amber eyes of her brown-haired protector. He smiled, "Are you all right, princess?" She nodded, uncurling her fingers ever so lightly against his shirt; returning the gesture with her own smile. Syaoran averted his gaze from her; his lips turning from a compassionate smile, to a thin, apprehensive line across his features. Something was just not right here. Fai stole a look at Syaoran, and then glanced back to Kurogane, who was equally dismayed.

Syaoran's grip fastened tightly against Sakura's upper arms while he braced himself, as the ground in which they stood upon trembled vigorously. Mokona yelped, and burrowed into Kurogane's cloak, as he and Fai moved closer to the other two; struggling to maintain their balance. Sakura pressed herself against Syaoran's chest, and gasped. It felt as if the whole mountain drew in a breath, and expanded; inhaling the clouds that encircled it, and heaved an enormous breath, vanquishing the fog in a thunderous bellow. As the tremor subsided, an ominous silence befell them. The tension that had accumulated, was almost unbearable.

The group eyed each other intently, somewhat puzzled. Fai had knelt down, and placed the palm of his hand gently against the cragged surface; running the pads of his fingertips carefully over the rock. "I wonder.." He mused to himself, before snapping his head back to lift his gaze towards the low cloud line above them with a startled gasp. "Syaoran-kun! Hold onto Sakura-chan! Kuro-puu!" He yelled, swiftly turning to the ninja. Kurogane understood, nodding. Syaoran hoisted Sakura into his arms, and prepared to move as the heavens rumbled; a massive silhouette formed behind the thick brume overhead. With that, the group scattered; a colossal hand of wet stone penetrated through the haze, and crashed down upon them. Fai and Kurogane were forced to leap over the edge of what was now obviously a gargantuan creature, and tumbled down it's backside; disappearing in the mist.

"Fai-san! Kurogane-san!" Syaoran's yell echoed, as they were removed from his sight. He held onto Sakura for dear life, while they were forced near the ledge. The enormous stone hand before them acted as a barricade between them, and the direction Fai and Kurogane fell. The jagged, moss-infested hand tilted on its side, and swiftly closed off the space between Syaoran and Sakura, and itself. "Hang on, Sakura-hime!" He shouted, while turning to look over the edge for any possible options of escape, but the moist rough palm quickly entrapped them before he could make a decisive leap of fate.

Syaoran and Sakura were squeezed tightly against one another, as a sense of vertigo overcame them. Sakura had buried her face firmly against Syaoran's neck and drew her arms in against his chest, her eyes tightly shut while Syaoran clung onto her; his arms criss-crossing along her back. The dizzying feeling of being tossed around within their pitch black confines eventually subsided, coming to a halt, as the enclosure of stone fingers uncurled around them. A gleam of blinding light emitted from the sun through the overcast skies bent around a huge shadow of a figure that loomed maliciously above them; all visible features shaded aside from two perfectly round illuminated pale orbs which observed the pair. Syaoran rose to one knee, embracing Sakura who nervously pressed her side against the length of his frame.

Five pillars surrounded them; the monstrosity's fingers. The surface of its palm was smooth and slick, the craggy length of its arm dotted with tiny forests of heavily overgrown fern, which seemed to stretch for miles till it eventually reached the apex of its shoulder. The head of the beast of stone was obscured, besides the obvious sharp pointed peaks jutting out to the sides. An impressive, overwhelming presence, and Syaoran stared up, awestruck. His momentary trance was broken, by the girl who shifted slightly in his arms out of fear. Syaoran casted his gaze over the creature's body, and over the sides of its hands. They were still very high up, and any rash decisions could lead them plummeting to their demise. He sighed, glancing back up to meet the mighty glare of the giant, its absolute gaze of bright white hued a faint red, as its opposing arm lifted, readying its hand to obliterate them.

Syaoran gritted his teeth, rising up with Sakura crossing over either arm; her legs hooking over one, while her back rested against the other. He dashed forward, slipping against the damp surface of the giant's palm. He fell into a roll with her, along the soft bristle of shrub that began at the wrist of its appendage, narrowly escaping the avalanche of a hand. The clash impacted with such immense force, creating a violent gust that propelled the two over the edge.

They rapidly descended; Sakura's arms folding around Syaoran's neck while she shrieked into his chest. He held on to her tightly, as they plunged through the fog; the landscape below soon becoming visable and he braced himself for a watery collision. A sharp smack of pain along with a splash, vibrated through Syaoran's body as he protected Sakura; leaving him paralyzed momentarily. Cold liquid engulfed, and parted them. Syaoran regaining his mobility, flipped over and swam to Sakura, taking her by the waist with one arm, and struggled to the surface. He gently guided her to land, helping her out as she coughed up water, which had apparently entered her lungs; the immense chill stunning her while submerged. Syaoran gently placed his hand against her quivering back, rubbing it ever so softly while she recovered her stamina.

That brief moment of peace was soon interrupted by a heavy spray of water overhead. It wasn't raining, for the water only seemed to be drenching them. Then they heard the familiar rumble; stone grinding against stone. Barely visible in the fog, two gleaming red orbs discovered them; the giant lifted its mighty leg directly above the pair. Syaoran scooped Sakura up within his arms, and hastily sprinted across the thick wet overgrowth. A loud crash was heard from behind him, but Syaoran kept running with his princess in his arms. The resulting sprinkle of water washed over them from the giant's massive stomp. Syaoran managed to elude its frightening gaze, and took refuge beneath a series of fallen boulders that had stacked askew atop each other, forming a few small caves.

A deep trilled, and prolonged growl echoed, as the caverns shook fiercely. The mountain was moving again. Syaoran leaned over Sakura, and peaked outside to observe the beastly silhouette lurching its hefty torso of stone forward, detaching itself from the rest of the mountain. The earth shook, and a mini landslide of pebble and rock haphazardly pelted the cave and its entrance in small waves. Syaoran withdrew back inside, and flung his body over Sakura's to shield her from any stray rubble. Mini quakes ignited after each colossal step the behemoth took, and more dust and fragmented rock would spill over the entrance. Low drawn out moans thundered from outside as the giant strode off slowly with tremorous footsteps; the sounds eventually becoming mostly inaudible aside from distanced thumps.

Syaoran had remained mostly unmoving, listening to the faint far off cries by the creature. His breathing was slow and rhythmic because of this. During the whole event, he had almost completely enveloped Sakura's body; resting his chin atop her forehead, and unintentionally straddling her hips. Sakura kept quiet beneath him, also intently listening to the far off commotion the monstrosity created. Her eyes trailed up his collar bone, and over his neck. Heat tainted her cheeks, as fear subsided, and realization of their current position entered her thoughts. She shyly made a soft noise with her throat. Syaoran blinked, resting the flats of his hands at her sides, and hoisted his torso off of her. "Princess, are you okay?" She bit her lip, and nodded once in response. Syaoran smiled for a moment, before realizing it himself. He threw his arms up, and leaned back, moving off of her; his face flushed red. Sakura sat up and drew her legs in, and attempted to fix the skirt she normally wore over her white pants. She along with Syaoran, were soaked from their recent ordeals. Her long cape clung to her body, and Syaoran made an obvious examination of this before shaking his head, and turning his attention to the partially closed off entryway.

Syaoran leaned his shoulder and the gloved palm of a hand against the piled rock, and exerted his weight into it till it toppled over. He heaved a sigh, and ventured out; ducking beneath the overhanging rock. Lacking the turmoil of previous events, he was now capable of observing his surroundings in peace. A great, expansive land inhabited by thick grasslands, rock, waterfall and moving mountains. What were they, and what was their purpose? He thought to himself, till his attention turned back to the cave. He squatted down, and extended an arm into it, offering his princess a hand. "You can come out now, if you wish. It's safe." He smiled warmly at her. Sakura took his hand, and joined him outside. "I hope Fai-san, Kurogane-san and Moko-chan are all right." She said, moving a bit closer to Syaoran's side. "What was that?" She turned to face him, clenching his larger hand with her smaller one. "I don't know.." He said pensively, casting his gaze over the misty terrain.

Meanwhile

"Hyuuu~" The magician had poked his head out amongst the canopy of a tightly merged tree-line; twigs and leaves matted in his soft blond tresses. He had witnessed the separation of the colossal being and mountain after they had fallen, luckily having a bed of foliage to soften their decent. Mokona hopped up onto Fai's shoulder, and brought its little paws to its cheek. "Did Sakura and Syaoran make it?" Fai squeezed his eyes shut, and displayed a smile while reaching over to pat Mokona on the head. "It's all right, I'm sure they are fine! Kuro-sama, are you okay?" He glanced below him, and received a cold-blooded glare from the other man. Fai had been using Kurogane's shoulders as a stool to stand on. "White Manju.. Give me my sword so I can hack this idiot's legs off." He snarled, his face fuming red. Fai replied with a light titter, before squatting down over Kurogane, and hopping off onto the extended limb of the tree. "Hnn..speaking of which, Syaoran-kun doesn't have Hein." He proceeded to pluck the sticks and leaves out of his hair, and dusted himself off a bit. "..And we'll need to find another way to reach them." Fai extended an arm and pointed, directing their attention past a few low hanging limbs. A massive canyon split the earth, and he came to the assumption that the giant of stone acted somewhat as a bridge between the two lands.

End Chapter 1

A/N

Well, what do you guys think..Should I continue with this? Good idea? Bad idea? Is my writing ok? x_x Sorry if it was too short, and quickly moved along.

I might add a few things, but before I do I want to know if it's worth continuing.
