Chapter 1
Disclaimer- I don't own Tsubasa, just Tamara and Cheresa
One day Tamara got a call from her best friend Cheresa, "oh hey Chi how are you?" Tamara grabbed her bag.
"You want to go to the mall? But I was just about to read some more manga" Tamara pouted into the phone.
"Fine but only if we stop by the manga store on the way home" Tamara said grabbing her shoes and putting them on "cool see you soon" Tamara hung up "Mom! I'm going to the mall with Cheresa, don't know when I'll be back!" Tamara called out as she walked out the front door not waiting for a reply.
At the mall Cheresa met Tamara at the food court for lunch before they went shopping "hey Timmy" Cheresa called out when she saw Tamara coming, "I still don't know why you call me that I mean how do you get Timmy out of Tamara?" she asked sitting across from her best friend "but it sounds cute" Cheresa said shacking her brown hair out of her eyes "it makes me sound like a boy, I don't know why you cut your hair now you can't tie it up out of your eyes like I can" Tamara said showing her strawberry blonde hair that she tied up into a ponytail "I wanted it cut though" Cheresa complained "whatever let's go" Tamara replied getting up.
After an hour of shopping together (going to all the stores Cheresa wanted to go to) Tamara stopped in front of a bookstore "hey Cheresa I'm going to see if they have any manga here" Tamara called out walking into the store "okay" she heard her friend call out.
It took Tamara about five minutes to find the manga novels "yes they have volume two of Tsubasa, I'm glad I brought money" Tamara said taking the book off the shelf and walking to the cash register "may I help you?" the girl working the register asked "just this book please" Tamara answered holding out the book "that will be $20:95 thank you" the girl said after scanning the book, Tamara gave her the money and went out to find Cheresa "hey Chi I got the second volume of Tsubasa, in this one you see Kurogane and Fai's kudan's" Tamara told Cheresa when she found her "that's good umm…"
"Oh and Mokona gets kidnapped by accident and even though he's a hostage he has the time of his life" Tamara went on with her spoilers on the book "umm… Timmy?" Cheresa said trying to stop Tamara "yes?" Tamara asked without looking up from her book "I think I've got us into trouble" Cheresa replied "what do you mean trouble?" Tamara asked closing her book turning her complete attention to Cheresa "well you see this woman-"
"Wait what woman?" Tamara asked cutting Cheresa off, Cheresa pointed beside her and Tamara noticed someone sitting there, someone with long black hair and red eyes "Yuuko!?" Tamara cried out realizing who it was, she then turned to Cheresa who was trying to sneak off "Cheresa please tell me you did not make a wish" Tamara said rubbing her forehead "I did not make a wish" Cheresa said making Tamara sigh "I made two" Cheresa added making Tamara explode "YOU WHAT?!" she yelled causing Cheresa to block her ears "I made two wishes, one for me and one for you" Cheresa said shrinking away "and you are going to wish you were never born" Tamara growled walking towards her, she stopped for a second then turned around to face Yuuko "how big were the wishes?" she asked "fairly big" Yuuko replied as Tamara curled her hands into fists "what's the payment?" she asked trying to calm her anger which wasn't working "to go on the journey" Yuuko replied staring at Tamara "journey?" all Tamara's anger flew out the window to be replaced with confusion "what journey?" Yuuko pointed to the book in Tamara's hand's "you mean the quest to find Sakura's memories?!" Tamara cried out in shock "yes" Yuuko said standing up "now we should go, they will arrive soon" she added walking towards the exit "coming! Come on Cheresa I'll kill you later" Tamara said before taking off after Yuuko with Cheresa hot on her tail.
"I hope this is just some weird dream"
~^(*)^~
"Hey Tamara"
"Yes Cheresa?" Tamara replied not looking at her
"Why did you buy an umbrella before we left the mall?" Cheresa asked staring at the little black umbrella in Tamara's hand, Tamara smirked "you'll see"
"We're here" Yuuko said stepping into the front yard.
Tamara and Cheresa looked up to see a little house between two very tall buildings "oh Kawaii" Tamara said walking through the front door and seeing Maru and Moro standing in front of them "Cheresa look, it's Maru and Moro aren't they adorable"
"Adorable! Adorable!" Maru and Moro chanted, Yuuko looked at Tamara "you know them?" she asked with a smile as Tamara nodded "yes and I know about Watanuki"
"Did someone call me?" a voice came from the other room and Watanuki walked out holding some drinks "oh no I wasn't calling you I just said your name sorry" Tamara said bowing her head, Watanuki looked surprised "who are you?" he said setting the drinks down on the table "we ar-"
"They are guests, they will be gone soon so… bring the sake while we chat" Yuuko said with a grin.
"MORE DRINKING!" Watanuki yelled as he stomped out of the room, Yuuko turned to the girls who were silently laughing "now that that's done let's talk about payment for the wish's" she said to get their attention "yeah sure… wait what did you wish for?" Tamara asked Cheresa who shifted uncomfortablely on her cushion "well… you see, I um… wished that-" Cheresa was cut off by Watanuki coming back into the room yelling at a little black rabbit.
"Cut it out!" Watanuki yelled at the rabbit who bounced into Yuuko's arms "Yuuko, Watanuki is mean" it wined, "black Mokona!" Tamara said recognizing the creature, Mokona turned around "who are you?"
"Oh my name is Tamara and this…" she pointed to the girl next to her "is Cheresa my, soon to be deceased, friend" Mokona jumped into Tamara's arms "nice to meet you" he said looking up at her.
"Nice to meet you too" Tamara said as Watanuki put the food and drinks down on the table "time for lunch" Yuuko cried out happily grabbing a bottle of sake.
After lunch Yuuko told them the payment for the wishes "I need you to go on the journey with the people coming tonight" Cheresa nodded "but why do I have to? I didn't make a wish" Tamara complained crossing her arms over her chest, "this girl's wish was for you therefore involves you" Yuuko explained.
"Right" Tamara answered shooting a death glare at Cheresa who jumped up and helped Watanuki clean up, once Watanuki and Cheresa left Tamara asked Yuuko a question "you want Cheresa and I to go on the quest in this book?"
Yuuko nodded "yes"
Tamara shook her head slightly "then can I please make a wish?" she asked not looking at Yuuko.
"yes you may" Tamara looked up "then I wish for something that can... restrain a person from hmm how should I put it? ...ok I need something to stop Cheresa from trying to jump those people, so to speak and keep an eye on her as well" Tamara said bluntly, Yuuko looked at her "very well, but the payment for this is that ring your wearing around your neck" Tamara's eyes widened with surprise as she pulled a ring which was on a chain from under her shirt "this?" she asked Yuuko who nodded "this was a present from my friend and every time I looked at it, it reminded me of him" she said unclasping it from around her neck "here, I love this with all my heart but if we have to go on this quest I need to keep Cheresa... in line" hugging the ring one last time Tamara handed it over "this is what you need" Yuuko said holding up two bracelets "wow how do they work?" Tamara asked putting one of them on her wrist "huh?!" she cried out as the bracelet suddenly tightened around her wrist making it impossible to take off "what's happening?" she asked pulling at the bracelet "these bracelets are tied to the persons will, put the other one on Cheresa and you can 'keep her in line' as you put it as long as you have a strong will" Yuuko said "oh" Tamara replied as Cheresa came back in "Watanuki said he's going shopping" Cheresa said as she sat down "thank you for that" Yuuko replied.
"Hey Cheresa here wear this" Tamara said holding out the bracelet which Cheresa took "why?" she asked looking at it "aw Cheresa can't you please just do this one thing for me without questions?" Tamara complained looking down at her feet "okay look I'm putting it on" Cheresa said slipping the bracelet on and watched as it tightened around her wrist "what the?" Cheresa said pulling at the bracelet "it's a symbol of our friendship, they will break only when the other doesn't want to be friends anymore" Tamara lied "oh" Cheresa said, Yuuko smiled "Maru, Moro time to get changed" she said standing up and walking out of the room, Tamara picked up her new Tsubasa book and started reading it "what can I do?" Cheresa asked lying down bored "take a nap or something, my first Tsubasa book is in my small back pack over there if you want to read it but one small rip and I break your fingers" Tamara warned pointing to the small bag in the corner of the room while not looking away from her book "wow how she can do that is beyond me" Cheresa whispered to herself as she grabbed the bag and pulled out the book.
~^(*)^~
Ten minutes later Watanuki walked into the room to find Tamara and Cheresa reading with different looks on their face's, Tamara had the look of excitment, happiness, love and desire, Cheresa had the look of boredom and a pinch of lust.
"Yuuko-san wants you out the front now" he said catching Cheresa's attention "okay thanks" she said getting up "Oi Timmy we gotta go" she added to her friend who didn't budge an inch "yeah okay" Tamara replied not listening, as Cheresa got to the door Tamara grabbed her bag and ran to the door "I finished the book" she said with a smile on her face "in ten minutes?!" Cheresa asked in shock, Tamara pouted "I know a bit slow huh?"
~^(*)^~
Outside Yuuko was talking to three people about there wishes "all three of your wishes are the same" she said as Tamara opened the door with her umbrella in front of her "oh it's raining" Cheresa said "so?"
"I don't like the rain" she complained "fine here" Tamara said shoving the umbrella into Cheresa's hands and walking out into the rain "you wanted us Yuuko?" she said as Cheresa jogged up to her, Yuuko turned around "yes I did can you just stand there for a minute?" she asked looking at the now soaking wet girl "I can but I don-"
"WHHAAAA!" Cheresa screamed causing Tamara to cover her ears "cool" she said running towards Yuuko's other guests "No Cheresa STOP!" Tamara shouted and a light shot out from Tamara's bracelet to Cheresa's "huh?" Cheresa said stopping, when the light disappeared in its place was a chain that connected the two bracelets, Tamara held up her wrist to find that her bracelet has turned into a thick leather bracelet that the chain came from "what happened?" she said grabbing the chain "it's your will that has done this" Yuuko said "it is now up to your own will to keep her there" she added "humph!" Cheresa huffed and pulled on the chain hard "Ahhh!" Tamara cried out in pain as the chain suddenly wrapped around her arm and tightened "Timmy?!" Cheresa cried and ran over to her "Cheresa please stay here don't go over there" she said quietly to her friend "okay, I'm sorry, I'll stay" she said "thank you" Tamara said as the chain disappeared turning the bracelet's back into their thin metal forms.
"Now back to what I was saying…" Yuuko started getting everyone's attention "all three of your wishes are the same" she said, pointing to the boy sitting down with a girl in his lap Tamara noticed that these people before Yuuko were the Tsubasa characters and the one she was pointing to was Syaoran, no wonder Cheresa went haywire Tamara thought as Yuuko continued "you want to go to many worlds in order to restore the memories of this child…" this child was Sakura from Clow country Tamara registered "…you want to return to your own world" she said pointing to the ninja Kurogane wow he looks cool in real life too Tamara thought as Yuuko went on pointing to the last member of the group Fai, "and you want to go to different worlds to avoid returning to your own" Yuuko said putting her hand down as Tamara observed Fai oh my god! Kawaii! She yelled mentally and noticed Cheresa looking at Syaoran.
"You have different reasons, but the method is the same. Travel to different dimensions… that is what you need.
Each of you individually cannot make those wishes happen, however if the three of you combine payment for one wish, then you can afford it" Yuuko said her face still emotionless "hey do you think Yuuko can really grant almost any wish?" Cheresa whispered to Tamara "of course" Tamara snapped back a bit too loud.
"Then what would my payment be?" Kurogane asked ignoring the two girls.
"Your sword" Yuuko replied.
"Wha-?! I'd never sell away Ginryu!" Kurogane snapped at Yuuko, who grinned "Fine! Instead you will wander this world looking like a costume-contest loser, and get picked up by the police for carrying an unlawful sword, and get plastered all over the TV for being a freak! Is that what you want?" Yuuko told Kurogane while pocking him in the chest.
"Huh? Polee? Tiivii?" Kurogane said confused as Cheresa giggled at the look on his face.
"You realize that you are trapped here, and I am the only person in the world who can get you out?" Yuuko said still grinning "that's got to be a lie!" Kurogane shouted at her "it's all true" Fai called out from behind Kurogane, he looked over to Fai "you're kidding!" he said pointing to Yuuko who held out her hand and said "what will you do?" Kurogane growled "dammit! When I'm free from this curse, I am coming back for it!" he shouted at Yuuko thrusting the sword out in front of her.
A light wind carried it in the air beside Yuuko, Yuuko half turned to Fai "your price… is your marking" she said her grin now gone, Fai looked surprised "I don't suppose this staff would do instead?" he asked holding up the staff in his hand "it won't… I told you, the price is the thing you value most" she answered and Tamara noticed the sadness he showed "I guess I have no choice" Fai said putting on a fake smile, a black marking floated through his clothes and stopped, floating on the other side of Yuuko.
"That looks awesome" Cheresa said as she moved closed to Yuuko to inspect the markings, Tamara half smiled "it is nice looking"
"What about you?" Yuuko asked Syaoran "now is the time to hand over your item of highest value. And then you will be able to travel the worlds"
"Fine!" Syaoran said without hesitation "you realize that I haven't named the price yet" Yuuko said keeping her face emotionless.
"Yes" Syaoran replied with a sad look.
"The only thing I can do is send you to other worlds. Finding the child's memories is something that you will have to do" Yuuko told him "fine!" Syaoran replied with determination, Yuuko smiled a small smile "I like your attitude" she said.
Watanuki came running out of the store "eh? There's more of you" he said running up to Yuuko "here they are" Yuuko said, she grabbed the white rabbit "the name of this young one is Mokona Modoki. Mokona will lead you through the worlds" Black Mokona waved at the girls sitting under the tree.
"Hey, you got an extra. Give it to me. I'll go home with that" Kurogane said holding out his hand for black Mokona "no, that's how we keep in contact. The only power this one has is to stay in communication with Mokona" Yuuko said pointing back and forth between the two Mokona's.
"That thing is also a big alcoholic" Cheresa muttered while laughing to herself, Tamara nodded not listening.
"Mokona will take you to different dimensions, but there is no way to control which dimension. For that reason, only fate will decide when your wishes will be granted" Yuuko explained, "well, you're screwed" Tamara commented drawing a chucle from Cheresa.
Wondering about something Cheresa tapped Tamara on the shoulder "hey Timmy? Do you know what Syaoran's price is?" she asked Tamara who punched her in the shoulder lightly "don't call me Timmy it makes me sound like a boy and yes I know" Tamara said looking back over to Yuuko "however, there is no coincidence in the world. What is there is 'Hitsuzen' and what brought you together was also 'Hitsuzen'"
"So what's his price?" Cheresa nagged "shh Yuuko is about to tell him" Tamara said waving a hand at Cheresa as if to say "shut up" Cheresa looked back at Yuuko.
"Syaoran your price is… your relationship.
The thing you value the most is your relationship with her. So that is your price" Yuuko told him while pointing to Sakura.
Syaoran looked confused "my price? But how-" he was cut off by Yuuko talking again "even if this child's memories are completely restored, your relationship with her will never be the same again… so what is she to you?" Yuuko asked Syaoran.
Cheresa poked Tamara again much to her irritation "hey how can Syaoran give his relationship to Yuuko?" Tamara turned around to face her "you're annoying you know that?" she said with a scowl "yep but that's why I'm your friend" Cheresa answered with a smirk, Tamara sighed "what Yuuko meant was that if Syaoran accepts, Sakura will never get her memory of him back" Tamara explained, Cheresa looked shocked "no way!" she said loudly earning everyone's attention "idiot" Tamara said under her breath as Cheresa apologized for interrupting "just listen to Yuuko" Tamara told her "okay" Cheresa replied with smile that made Tamara want to hit her.
"That is my price, will you still pay it?" Yuuko asked Syaoran who was looking at Sakura.
"Let's go, I will not let Sakura die!" Syaoran said looking up with determination, Tamara hit Cheresa "see if you had shut up and not bothered me you would have heard Yuuko explain it" she said looking at Cheresa who ignored her comment.
"Hey Timmy I've been thinking-" Cheresa started but was cut off by Tamara "holy shit, the world's coming to an end" she said dramatically, Cheresa looked at her with a small frown "shut up" she said playfully before continuing "you said that Yuuko's shop was in Japan right?" Cheresa asked as Tamara nodded now curious as to where this was going "well, we met Yuuko in Australia and got here to this shop in ten minutes how did we do that?" Cheresa asked as Tamara really thought this over "well in XXXholic Yuuko created a portal but I don't remember stepping into one… come to think of it I don't remember paying attention to the walk at all" Tamara said with a sheepish smile "neither do I" Cheresa said rubbing her head trying to remember.
"This quest is dangerous right?" Cheresa asked Tamara who nodded "it is but we might be fine, after all I know where all the danger is remember" Tamara told her with a thumbs up as Cheresa laughed quietly.
"You two!" Tamara and Cheresa looked up to find Yuuko looking at them "come here please" she asked them, Tamara and Cheresa looked at each other before getting up and walking over to her, when they were beside her she turned to the group "these two will be traveling with you as well" she said pointing to the girls, Kurogane complained "what more brats!" he growled, Tamara turned to face him "who are you calling a brat blackie!?" she growled pissed of with being called a brat "you who else?" Kurogane said staring at her "well you're an idiot then" Tamara said catching him off guard "excuse me?!" he yelled "what did you call me?!" Tamara smirked "what's this deaf as well as dumb" she said with an evil smile, Kurogane reached down for his sword that wasn't there "you shouldn't always rely on weapons you know" Tamara said quietly losing all amusement in their argument "huh?" he said confused "see, what I tell you deaf, he's all talk and no action without his sword he get his butt kicked" Tamara said putting on a fake smile as Cheresa was laughing her heart out "why you-"
"Would you refrain for sharing your knowledge right now please" Yuuko said cutting off Kurogane who was now confused as the rest of the group "your right I'm sorry Yuuko" Tamara said giving a little curtsy.
"Good now as I said these two will be going with you as their payment for the wish they made-"
"you mean the wishes this idiot made" Tamara said jerking her thumb in Cheresa's direction "look I didn't even make the wish involving me and I don't know what help I would be on this quest" Tamara told Yuuko who remained emotionless "the help you will give is your knowledge" Yuuko told her "my knowledge?" Tamara questioned "yes your knowledge of this quest" Tamara sighed "I don't know much though" Tamara argued as Yuuko's smile came back "you know what world they arrive at first?" she asked Tamara who nodded.
"Do you know the order of the worlds they travel through?"
Another nod, "do you know the good and bad people in the quest?" at this question Tamara looked at Yuuko with a confused look before nodding "and what do you know about these people?" Yuuko asked waving a hand at the group standing behind Tamara "I know their future and I know…" Tamara trailed off looking at her feet "what was that?" Yuuko asked her smile gone, Tamara sighed before looking Yuuko in the eyes "I know what happened in their pasts" she said not looking at the group, Tamara pointed at Cheresa "I know why you want me to go but why do you want her to come? She only knows what I told her and even then she forgets it" she asked Yuuko.
"She is the one that made the wishes" Yuuko said "now you may go" Yuuko handed Tamara an envelope addressed to her before holding out Mokona.
Mokona grew wings and then opened its mouth wide and sucked everyone in.
~^(*)^~
"Where are we?" Cheresa asked herself when she woke up "I don't know, some house" a voice said to her and she looked to see Fai and Kurogane awake.
"Oh I think Timmy mentioned this place… it's called umm… Ha no He, that's wrong Ham no Han it starts with Han, anyway I see that my friend here is still asleep" Cheresa said seeing Tamara lying down next to her asleep "what's your name?" Fai asked her "oh my name is Cheresa, your Fai right?" Fai nodded "wait Timmy said something about you, what was it? …ah now I remember she said Fai is not Fai, what does that mean?" Fai shrugged "I don't know maybe you should ask her when she wakes up" Cheresa nodded "yer anyway time to get up" she said standing up and moving a couple of steps only to have her arm pulled down by something "what the-?" she looked down to see the chain that connected their wrists in front of Yuuko's shop had come back "why is this here now?" she asked shaking her wrist "well it's definitely magic that's for sure" Fai said holding the chain, Cheresa thought of something "let me try something, I'll need you to stand back" Cheresa told Fai who got up and took a few steps back "okay now stay there" Cheresa walked backwards to the far wall away from Fai and next to Tamara, when she touched the wall the chain disappeared "okay that part a success now for the second part" Cheresa said before walking towards Fai when she got close enough to touch him the chain reappeared winding around her arm and her waist "I knew it!" Cheresa said walking towards Tamara "this is all your doing, you don't want me near any of the boys because your afraid, well news flash your nothing to them" the chain around Cheresa's arm and waist suddenly shattered and coiled around Tamara "ahhh Timmy" Cheresa said bending down and pulling at the chains around her arms.
After a few tugs the chain disappeared "okay weird, she is still asleep" Fai said looking over Cheresa's shoulder at Tamara who was sleeping but had a uneasy look on her face "oh this is nothing new, Timmy could sleep through the apocalypse"
"Apocalypse?" Fai asked her "you know the end of the world" Cheresa said "lets see on a term you would know… she could sleep through an avalanche that was passing right next to her house"
"So she's a deep sleeper" Kurogane said joining in the conversation, Cheresa shrugged "depends" she said with a smile.
"On what?" Fai asked now curious.
"On if you have the right thing to get her up" Cheresa said holding up her little bag with her books in it, she got up and walked over to the window "you might want to get back" she warned Fai who nodded and walked over to Kurogane.
"Okay" Cheresa opened the window "hey Timmy I'm going to throw your books out the window!" a murderous aura filled the room as Tamara sat up "what. Was. That. Cheresa?" she asked very forcefully as she stood up "heehee nothing Timmy" the murderous aura grew "what did I say about that name?" she said cracking her knuckles "right sorry" Cheresa apologized handing Tamara the bag "humph" Tamara turned around and went back to where she was before.
Sitting down she yawned "and Cheresa before you fry your brain the place we're in now is called Hanshin Republic okay?" she said to Cheresa who nodded still not moving "good" Tamara laid down and fell asleep holding her bag "oh my god" Cheresa said sinking to the floor "I got off lucky on that one" she looked at the two guys who had shock written all over their faces "a little reminder, don't get her angry" Fai nodded and Kurogane just snorted "she's just a weak little girl" he said before getting hit by something hard "Ow! What was that?" he said rubbing his head and looking down to find a round pebble "where did this come from?" he asked picking up the pebble "the same place the next one's coming from if you say that again" Kurogane looked up to see Tamara sitting up with a pebble in her hand and a shit load of anger.
"Wait Timmy, Kiran doesn't like it when you get like this remember" Cheresa said standing in front of her friend, Tamara's anger died "your right, but he… never mind I'm going out" she said getting up and walking out of the room before anyone could say anything "well she's gone for a while, you baka teme!" Cheresa shouted to Kurogane "you really hurt her feelings you know, I would come over there and whack you myself but I don't want that chain to come back"
"What did I do?" Kurogane growled, no one's insulted him and lived this long before.
"You said those things, you were cold hearted, she respects you" Cheresa growled back "respects?! She insulted me, people don't usually insult the people they respect" he said getting up "it's not her fault!" Cheresa growled her voice raising "she handles her feeling different to other people, everyone at school teases her and she does her very best to ignore it but lately whenever someone has said something to tease her no matter how small she retaliates sometimes verbally, sometime physically but most of the time both, but that's besides the point what I mean is that all the anger has built up inside her and has created a mask, now whenever she has some other emotion poking out her anger takes over instead" Cheresa explained.
Kurogane shrugged and walked towards the door "that has nothing to do with me though"
"Do you want to know the reason why she gets picked on at school?" Cheresa asked, Kurogane shook his head "no I don't care" Cheresa ran in front of the door just as he was about to grab the handle "it's because of you!" she shouted "all of you!" she added indicating Fai and the kids on the floor still knocked out.
"What do you mean, Cheresa-san?" Fai asked getting up and standing besides Kurogane, Cheresa sighed "well you know how she knows the future of this quest?" they nodded "well everyday at school she is always telling me new thing about you guys, what new worlds you went to, what you've done to get the feather and all different things like that, I swear the only time she's happy in her life is when she's talking about you guys, anyway everyone at school teases her at school for liking you guys, even her family does, but even though she knows she'll get teased she will still talk about you, all the good time, the bad, the funny, she has hundreds of pictures of you on her computer, my point is one of the people she respected teased her like everyone else in her life how is she supposed to take that?" Cheresa said walking over to the window "I don't think anyone completely understands her love for you four, not even me" she said hanging her head, just then the door opened and two people came in causing Kurogane and Fai to back up "ah so you're here" the man said "who are you?" Kurogane asked "My name's Sorata and this is my lovely wife" Sorata said pointing to the woman next to him "I'm Arashi"
"Ah yes Timmy has told me about you two" Cheresa said leaning her back against the window.
"Would that happen to be the girl that ran straight past us a few minutes ago crying her heart out" Sorata asked.
"WHAT?!" Cheresa yelled "YOU!" she said pointing to Kurogane "what?" he growled "don't you fucking growl at me, go. After. Her."
"Why do-"
"NOW!" Cheresa yelled throwing the first thing she grabbed which happened to be a chair.
"Fine" he said after dodging the chair and seeing Cheresa looking around for something else to throw, he went out the door "crazy bitch" he said after the door closed
"I heard that!" Cheresa shouted as he left.
~^(*)^~
Tamara ran through the house she heard Cheresa shout "you baka teme!" what are you doing Cheresa? She wondered while trying to whip the tears away, she ran straight past Sorata and Arashi who called out to her but she ignored them.
Once out the front door she stopped for a minute wondering which way to go "it's not her fault!" Cheresa's voice shouted from an open window upstairs and Tamara ran away into the city.
Tamara stopped running only when she was out of breath and couldn't run anymore, she looked around "where am I? I think I took a left back there and then ran a few blocks before turning right… or was it the other way around, oh man I'm lost" Tamara said looking around "hey what are you doing out so late little lady?" a voice came from behind her, Tamara turned around to find three guys behind her walking towards her "what do you want?" Tamara asked them sourly "oh don't be like that we just want to have some fun" Tamara scoffed "well go have fun elsewhere with each other" She started to walk away when one of the guys grabbed her wrist "come on just come have a couple of drinks with us" Tamara smiled "sorry underage now let go" she yanked her arm but the guy held on tight "what are you deaf as well as stupid let go of my arm you filthy cow" Tamara punched the guy with her other arm or at least tried to for he grabbed that arm before it connected with his head "now that's just plain rude maybe we should teach you some manners" the guy said his face inches away from Tamara's.
"Well before you decide can I ask you a question? Have you ever heard of a tic-tac, you know a breath mint 'cause god your breath could level a forest… just please tell me you've heard of a toothbrush because I swear those things you call teeth could send Godzilla running in fear I mean looking at you is giving me a heart attack" Tamara insulted as the other members of the group started laughing "and don't even get me started on the clothes I mean what happened? You walk though a dumpster and see what you ended up with, have you ever even picked up a hairbrush because jeez-"
"ENOUGH!" the guy screamed.
"See now he interrupts and you call me rude" Tamara said trying to lean as far away from him as her captive arms would let her, the other group members were now in tears from laughing to hard.
"That's it when I'm done with you you're going to wish you never insulted me" he said pulling Tamara closer "great" she said sarcastically "but before that could we go to the store, I might be able to find some of those breath mints I mentioned" she added, the guy holding her growled and flung her over his shoulder and walked off leaving his still laughing companions behind.
"Oi let go of me you disgusting pervert!" Tamara yelled pounding his back "oh look at me in need of a knight in shining amour and I get a city dickhead straight out of the dumpster, oh where is my knight?" she said dramatically, the idiot holding her ignored her "oh look here comes your posse" Tamara said pointing to the now arriving group "you done laughing huh?" the guy said still walking "we're sorry boss" one of the men said "you shouldn't have to say sorry to him, he's rude and mean he wouldn't even let me go to the store to look for those breath mints" Tamara complained making a couple of the men snicker, the boss stopped walking "would you idiots stop laughing!" he shouted spinning around causing Tamara to clip her head against the street light they were next to "OW! Now he hurt's a girl, that's it put me down you fucking basterd!" Tamara shouted holding her head and kicking as hard as she can "I would do as she says if I were you" a voice called out from further down the street, Tamara looked up to see Kurogane walking towards the group "Kurogane? Whoa" Tamara said before she was turned around by the boss turning towards Kurogane "I wanted a knight in shining armor and I get my favorite ninja in black… that works for me" Tamara said to herself "who are you?" the boss asked "someone who's about to kick your filthy ass" Tamara said pounding the guys back again "Kurogane how did you find me?" she called out to him when the boss took her off his shoulder and passed her to one of the men next to him "I could hear your ranting from down the street" he replied causing Tamara to shut up he hates me, he really does hate me she thought sadly "holy shit you got her to shut up, my thanks" the boss said looking at Tamara "maybe what that kid said was true" Kurogane said to himself "whatever, look I need her back or I'm going to get yelled at again for a long time" he said, oh so Cheresa yelled at him that's why he's here she thought looking around for some kind of weapon, Tamara spotted a metal pole on the ground a few centimeters away now how to get to it, hmm… an idea popped into Tamara's head, she grabbed one of her captors hands and bit it causing him to drop her "Ahh!" Tamara yelled as she landed on her back, ignoring the pain she grabbed the pole and threw it to Kurogane "Kurogane! Catch!" she yelled before blacking out.

"I wonder how Mr. Black is doing. Something tells me he's not good with saying sorry" Fai told Cheresa after Arashi and Sorata left.
"Well if he knows what's good for him he'll learn fast" Cheresa replied looking out the window to see if they were near "why would she hurt him?" Fai asked from his spot on the floor, Cheresa turned around to face him "ha! Timmy is the nicest person I know except for when she's pissed off then you don't want to be anywhere near her, no if he hurt her again I will make his life a living hell" Cheresa told him sitting down against the wall next to the window.
Fai thought over what she said "you really look out for her don't you?" he asked watching Cheresa doze off, she nodded slowly "she's my best friend I have to"
Footsteps could be heard coming closer "sounds like they might be back" Fai said pointing towards the door, Cheresa stood up as Kurogane opened the door and came into the room alone.
Cheresa was in front of him in a matter of seconds "where is she?"

{Around ten minutes ago}
"Kurogane! Catch!" Tamara shouted at Kurogane who caught the pole "what's this for?" he asked looking at Tamara to see her knocked out "shit I'm probably going to get the blame for that" he said to himself as the guy that dropped Tamara picked her up again "at least she'll be quiet now" the boss said looking at Tamara, Kurogane took a step forward "put her down!" he shouted, the boss held out his hand towards Kurogane and a dog materialized on the ground in front of him "attack" he said and the dog lunged at Kurogane.
Kurogane ducked as the dog flew over him, turning around he swung the pole hitting the dog in the stomach sending it into the wall "too easy" Kurogane said as he stood up "boss!"
Kurogane turned around to see the group leader on the ground holding his stomach "quick help him" one of the group said and three more dogs materialized and lunged for Kurogane "okay then" Kurogane said swinging the pole and hitting the first dog in the head, he half turned and kicked the second dog in the side but the third dog bit into his leg as he hit the second dog "damn" Kurogane cursed bringing the pole down on the dogs head knocking the dog into the ground, Kurogane looked up to find three more members of the group on the ground "okay weird" he said to himself "does anyone else want to try?" he called out, the remaining members shook their heads "then put the girl down and scram" he growled, the group did as he said and grabbed the guys on the floor before leaving, the member holding Tamara put her down before running of after the rest.
Kurogane walked up to Tamara and picked her up "damn this is troublesome" he said before walking back to the house the other were.
Once inside he came across Arashi who told him to follow her, she took him upstairs to a spare room and opened the door "put her on the bed for now" she said holding the door open, Kurogane walked over and placed Tamara on the bed "what happened to her?" Arashi asked grabbing a blanket out of the closet "she was with a group of guys and one of them had her over his shoulder, he turned around to yell at his companions for something and her head hit the street pole they were next to" Kurogane told her pulling up the bottom of his pants to reveal his now bleeding bite mark "here" Kurogane looked at Arashi who was holding out a bandage that was from the first aid box she had also grabbed out of the closet "oh ah thanks" Kurogane said taking the bandage from Arashi, when he had finished tending to his wound he stood up to test his leg for any pain "the others will be wondering where you are by now, you go back to the other room, my honey and I will take care of her" Sorata told him from the doorway, Kurogane nodded and left.
When he opened the door he saw the others looking at him, he went in and Cheresa was right in front of him before he could blink "where is she?" she growled.
"Asleep, she got in trouble with some guys before I found her" Kurogane said walking around her and sitting down against a wall "what do you mean trouble?" she asked him, Fai got up and walked over to the still sleeping kids as Kurogane answered "I don't know how all I know is I could hear her insulting one of the guys as I walked towards them" Kurogane explained.
"Which room is she in?" Cheresa asked standing at the door.
"One of the one's down the hall" Kurogane told her before she left.
"It looks like he's up" Fai said catching Kurogane's attention, Syaoran sat up fast "Sakura!"
