Author's Note: Thanks so much for reading. I don't think this is one of my better chapters but I decided to keep the dialog from the manga for this chapter. It won't be the same with every one, and they will definitely get better. ++SilentTaboo++

Chapter 1:

The Dimension Witch stared at the sleeping child vampire in her arms. The rain poured down soaking the girl's clothes and plastering her hair to her face. It didn't really surprise her that Nyx's brother had paid for her safety. Their circumstances had come too dangerous for someone her age. A vampire hunter had been after her and her family for longer than she had been alive. Until recently they never stayed anywhere longer than a month at most, and her older brothers had always protected her. Her last destination and unforeseen circumstances had forced them to separate.

Nyx was extremely young for a vampire. While the vampire population was very scarce and for the most part very well hidden, there were many that still hunted them forcing their small numbers to dwindle further. This one couldn't be over ten, and if she was mistaken for a human, she couldn't be over five. Too young to go through what she had and would have to go through before she ever found peace.

The Witch looked up as her future traveling companions began to show up in the court yard. "They're coming." She said looking back down at the girl in her arms with a small knowing smile.

The first to show up was the boy and the princess. The first clutching the seconds unconscious body to his chest. Not twenty seconds after them, the ninja and the wizard appeared.

The two spoke simultaneously. "Are you the witch of dimensions?"

"Who are you?" They glanced at each other irritated before turning back to the Witch.

I turned the ninja in black. He seemed most inpatient. "You first."

"I'm Kurogane. But where are we?" The Witch smiled amused.

"Japan."

"Well, I came from Japan!"

Her smirk widened. "A different one."

"I don't understand." This didn't surprise her, but she didn't address it for the time being, and turned to the second one.

"You?"

He bowed before speaking. "I'm a Celes Country Wizard. Fye D. Flowright."

"You do know where we are, right?"

He nodded. "Yes, A place where you grant wishes at a proper or high price."

"That's correct. Well then, since you are all here, that means all of you want some sort of wish."

Again the two talked at the same time. "I want to-"

"Never return to where I'm from." The wizard replied.

"Return to where I'm from." Demanded the rude ninja.

The witch shifted the girl slightly bringing attention to her for the first time. "That's a hard thing, for the both of you, no… For all four of you."

They all looked thoroughly confused. "Those wishes you have, if you pay separately, it won't be enough." The boy holding the princess looked close to tears on this news. "But, if you three pay together, it might barely be enough." Their confusion swelled.

"What are you talking about?"

"Please be quite Black." The wizard said trying to silence the ninja.

"It's not black! It's Kurogane!"

The witch talked over them turning to each of them as she spoke. "You four have the same wish. You, child, want to go to different worlds to collect the girl's memories." She directed to the boy before turning to the ninja. "From a different world, you want to go back to your own world." Then to the wizard. "You want to go live in a world other than your own, and this child wishes to continue running from those that hunt her and eventually find peace."

"Your purposes are different, but the means are the same. You have different reasons why you want to go to different worlds. Each one of your wishes, I can't grant them. But if the three of you each give me your precious item, the four of you can go to different worlds."

"Why just the three of us? What about the sleeping brat you're holding?"

"She has already paid her price."

"What do I have to give you?"

"That sword." This made the angry ninja irate.

"What?! I'll Never Hand Over My Silver Dragon!"

A wicked looked appeared on the Witches face. "Fine then, in exchange you can roam around looking like a cosplayer, violate weapon laws, get arrested by the police, and get interviewed on television."

"Eh? Poli-? Tele-?"

"I'm the only one in this world able to send you to another world." His anger expressed itself in disbelieving profanities.

"It's true." The wizard put in.

"Really?" The wizard nodded a smile plastered to his face.

The witch adjusted the child to hold her with just one hand and held out the other. "What are you going to do?"

He thrust it at her almost hitting Nyx. "When this curse is gone, I will definitely return for it!"

She turned to the wizard. "Your price is that tattoo." He looked temporarily stunned.

He held out his staff instead. "Will this wand not do?"

"I said, the price is your most valuable thing." He sighed in defeat before forcing a smile again.

"I guess I have no other choice then." The tattoo appeared before floating to the Witch's side.

"And you? What is the most precious thing that you own? And will you give it to me to go to another world?"

The boy answered without hesitation. "Yes."

"Your price has not yet been told and yet you will still give it to me?"

"Yes." He repeated.

"I can only help you travel your paths to different worlds. You must search for this child's memories by yourself."

Again, the boy agreed.

"Good. You're prepared." Before she could say anything else a man came running through the rain with two fluffy long eared creatures, one white and one black.

"Here he comes." She said more to herself than anyone else. She grabbed the white one with her child free hand before turning back to the group. "His name is Mokona Modoki. He will take you to different dimensions."

"You have another one hand me that. I'll go with this one." The rude ninja said.

"That's only for communication. All he can do is communicate with this Mokona. Mokona can take you to another dimension, but he can't control where you land. Your wish becoming true only by luck. But there are no coincidences in this world. There is only destiny. You were destined to meet each other. Syaoran, your payment is, the relationship. To you, the most important thing is the relationship with that girl. So I'll take it."

He seemed slightly panicked. "What does that mean?"

"Even if she gets all of her memoires back, you will not have the same relationship with her as before. What is she to you?"

He closed his eyes before answering. "My childhood friend, the princess of my country, and someone who is very important to me."

"I see. But if you're going to use Mokona, that relationship will disappear. Even if you were able to return all her memories back, the part about you won't return. That's your price. Still?"

"I'll go! I won't let Sakura die!"

The witch nodded. "Alright. There is one last thing that I charge to all of you. This girl is named Nyx. She is a very young vampire. As I have said before she has paid her price as her family has. She may never stay with her family again. You may come across her family along your trip, but they are separated for all time. You are all charged with the care and protection of this girl Mokona will not leave one dimension without her. Even after you have found what you desire and have parted ways if you chose to do so, one of you will always be responsible for her. Be warned however she is hunted fiercely by many things. Are you all still willing to go through with this?"
