Authors Note; Alright so this isn't the most original of ideas, I'm sure. It's summer and I need SOMETHING to keep my brain intact until fall. Please note that this fic isn't exactly on my priority list, so don't expect daily chapter updates. Reviews are welcome, but flaming is not. Thanks.
Prologue: The New World / The Mysterious Presence
Nighttime. Darkness. Stars. The sky in Tomoeda begins to warp and twist, and releases five beings into the night.
"So, where'd the white-manjuu land us this time?" The tall one, Kurogane growls.
"I don't know, but it isn't familiar," The figure with a mess of brown hair, Syaoran replies, taking in their new surroundings. It looks like they've landed in a sub-urban town. Houses line the street, and the absence of any light in each house signifies that it's residents are fast asleep.
The group begins to move stealthily through the night, taking care to avoid the glow of the streetlamps, so as to not alert any of the town's residents to their presence. Syaoran looks at the sleeping figure in his arms. Sakura had lost consciousness in their previous world, due to a new feather being added to her memories.
"We should find somewhere to stay for the night," A tall, lanky one, Fai says.
"Mokona, can you sense Sakura-hime's feather anywhere?" Syaoran asks.
The white animal, who is in Fai's arms right now, begins to concentrate, "I feel a strong power, but I'm not sure if it's a feather. Fai is right; we should find somewhere so we can rest."
The group turns a corner, and they reach a park with a large structure in the center, and a forest behind it. Kurogane suggests that they stay hidden in the bushes until they can figure out what to do. They move silently, yet quickly, deeper and deeper into the forest they go, until they reach a cliff, where there's a clearing surrounded by trees and bushes. Perfect.
Fai and Kurogane decide to play guards for the night. They sit against the trees, staying hidden amongst the shrubbery so any attackers wouldn't be able to see them unless they knew where to look. Mokona stays with Fai, while Syaoran sets Sakura down. He lies down beside her to make sure that no one hurts her during the night. The group nods off one by one, until there's no sound but the crickets and cicadas chirping.
Meanwhile, a teenaged girl gazes out her window, as if she's trying to figure something out. A yellow plush toy with white wings sits on her head.
"Kero-chan… It's been four years since that day… But it can't be…" The girl whispers.
"I don't know, Sakura," Kero replies pensively. "But whatever it is… it's strong."
