Disclaimer says I own nothing. I disagree.
Note: Yes I know I'm procrastinating. I am very well aware that I should be updating all my other stories and collaborations, but to bad! This plot was bothering me so I had to write it down! I also want to thank my extremely (one or two) loyal reviewers. It's nice to know that there's someone out there that reads everything I write and even reviews. And now, to make things easier on those that don't know any Japanese:
Japanese words and their English translation(s):
Gomen/Gomen nasai-Sorry/I'm really sorry
Ano-Um
Sugoi ne-Amazing
Hai-Yes
Iie-No
Hontoni-Really?
Socca-I see (this is most likely incorrect, but I have four Japanese dictionaries, and none of them say how to say this. Oh and, just to be clear, "socca" doesn't mean pancake. Want to know how you say pancake in all of the dictionaries I have? It's pankeki. And "soka" isn't a word according to the dictionaries. "I see" could also be said as "sososo". Why do I say that? Because my mother is half Japanese and that's what she told me. There actually doesn't seem to be a word for "I see". Some people just say "Mmm...Ne..." So don't you ever lecture me on my Japanese! I have numerous resources that I can check with! Did I mention that my mom also works with people that speak Japanese and are Japanese? Yeah. Don't even bother with correcting my Japanese.)
ATTENTION! To everyone that reads my stories, or at least this one, I've decided that I will not update until I receive at least five to ten reviews on each chapter! Yes I know. It probably annoys all of you greatly. And it's definitely unfair to those that have reviewed and are looking forward to the next chapter. But I'm tired of having such a lack of reviews! You don't need an account to review you know! I don't care if your review is only one word, I just want a review! Hell! You can type it in another language if you want! I don't care! Just please review! Especially if you want the next chapter for at least one of my stories. And please, don't review multiple times under different names just to make me think that multiple people have reviewed. I'd much rather you just say it's you. If someone does that, then maybe I'll consider updating without waiting for more people to review. And everyone, flaming is not cool. If you're going to tell someone that their story sucked, either just say "It sucked.", or kindly explain how the story can be improved.
Thank you if you took the time to read at least this one part. I truly appreciate it.
It's been two months since he started traveling with them. With Sakura, Fai, Kurogane, and Mokona. And so far, things haven't been very pleasant between him and most of the group. Mokona was the only one that treated him kindly. Kurogane-san didn't completely ignore him, he did talk to him and occasionally see if he was okay. But as for Fai-san and Sakura-hime...They didn't even glance at him...It hurt...but he couldn't bring himself to hate them for it...it was his fault after all that they lost someone precious to them. His fault that they lost him. The other Syaoran...If only he came sooner...Maybe all of this could've been avoided then...
Heh. Yeah right. Like that would happen. This was part of his price. There's a small chance of anything good happening now. Every where they go, his clone wreaks havoc. And he, the original, always has to suffer for it.
However, lately there hasn't been any burning villages or corpses lying about. No one tried to attack them or kill him. No fights with the other Syaoran...It was strange. It was unlikely that the other boy was taking a break, or that he possibly regained his senses and emotions. There was a 10 to 20 percent chance that something around those lines happened.
It'd be nice if that was the case...He didn't want to fight anymore...
Luckily, judging by the world that they just landed in, it seems he wouldn't have to. It was a world he new well, and missed greatly. Though he was a little confused. He wasn't suppose to be able to come here...unless he just wasn't allowed to be in a certain part of this world...He could understand if that was the case. Either way, he was home again. Back in the world he was born in. It wasn't Hong Kong or anything, if anything, the place was near where Yuuko lived ironically. How convenient. If it were necessary, they could all lodge at Yuuko's...for a price. Better than nothing though.
"I'd appreciate it greatly...If you all would get off my back..."
The whole group looked down, only slightly startled by the voice, and immediately stood and stepped away.
"Thank you...", said the poor person that was crushed by four people because they all lost their balance when landing. He stood up though, dusting himself off, and didn't seem to badly injured. He had pitch black hair and lavender eyes and pale skin. His shirt was black, he wore blue jeans, and had normal black sneakers on. On his neck there was a necklace with a bronze snake on one side with golden topaz eyes, a silver fox in the middle with blue sapphire eyes, and black dragon on the other side with red ruby eyes and a blood red stomach. On his wrist was a bracelet that took the shape of a black snake that had rubies, emeralds, opals, sapphires, amethysts, and pyrite covering its back, it's eyes were like tiny white pearls. On one of his ears was an earring that looked like a golden cat's eye. He was at ;east fourteen-years old.
"Gomen. We didn't mean to fall on you," apologized the young princess.
"Gomen," the wizard apologized.
"Gomen nasai...We didn't realize you were there...", said Syaoran.
"No. It's fine. But if you're really sorry, you could always make it up to me by giving me an explanation as to why you all fell from the sky. And I'd also like to know why you left, Syaoran Li."
"E-eh...? You- wha- eh? Eh? ! Syaoron? !"
"Oh good. You do recognize me. I'd have to hurt you if you didn't."
"I...I see...Gomen..."
"Forgiven."
The rest of the group stood there, looking confused as Syaoran and the boy, apparently called Syaoron, talked. They never expected to meet someone that this Syaoran might know.
"Anoo...Does Syaoran-kun happen to know this person?" a certain little meat bun asked.
Syaoran turned and looked at the white rabbit. "Mhn. This is Syaoron. He was my childhood friend you could say. I only know him because his mother would sometimes take care of me when my own parents weren't able to. Ah.", he looked at Syaoron again. "Where's Tiashe anyway? And Shaoran? And Teito? You guys use to always stay together."
The look on Syaoron's face turned grave. "They...aren't here anymore...We were separated a year after you left..."
"Eh...?"
"Demo," he smiled," I've gotten over it. I know Shaoran and Teito are still alive somewhere around here. So it'd be nice if I could at least see them again. And Yuuko-san, my foster parent you could say, took care of me. Well, more like worked me to the bone, but that's not important."
There was a shocked silence for more reasons than one.
"Heeeeh? Syaoran-kun's friend Syaoron-kun knows Yuuko! Sugoi ne!" exclaimed a very curious and excited Mokona.
"Um...Would this Yuuko-san happen to be a witch that runs a peculiar shop that grants wishes?"
"Why yes. Yes she would. I take it that she's part of the reason as to why you disappeared?"
"Hai. She's partially the reason..."
"Then I don't need to know anything more. Since you guys just arrived here, I'll let you stay at my place."
"Iie. You don't need to do that."
"I wasn't giving you an option."
"You haven't changed..."
"On the contrary, I've changed greatly. Maybe not personality and appearance wise, but I have indeed changed."
"...How?"
"I'll tell you later. And take off those cloaks. You don't need them here."
"Gomen."
"You apologize to much."
"Gomen."
There was a disapproving sigh before Syaoran's wrist was grabbed and he found himself being dragged away. The rest of the group didn't follow at first, but they eventually started walking.
About ten to twenty minutes later, everyone was standing out in front of an enormous mansion.
"Sugoi ne!" shouted Mokona.
"This is where you live...?"
"This is where I live. Not alone though. I've got a dog and there's someone else living here."
"Socca..."
"I'll bring him down later."
"Why?"
"He's not exactly a sociable person. He'll probably come down though when he's hungry..."
"I see..."
"Yeah. Anyway, let's go in. I need to start dinner. It's already 7 P.M."
"Mhn. Hai."
And with that, Syaoron, Syaoran, Mokona, Fai, Kurogane, and Sakura entered the building. Syaoron going up a flight of stairs and to some room, no doubt to talk to whoever else was there. Syaoran simply looked around with Mokona. And everyone stood there somewhat awkwardly, unsure of what to do. Luckily Syaoron came back down and told them that they were welcome to just sit down at either the kitchen table or the living room. Everyone sat in the living room, except for their host since he was currently cooking in the kitchen.
They waited at least fifteen minutes before he came into the room, somehow managing to carry seven plates of food and setting them down without spilling a single thing. He didn't stay long. Once the food was set down, he went upstairs and into the room he went into earlier, coming back down after five more minutes passed. It took another ten minutes to eat, Syaoron talking with Mokona a good portion of the time, telling about his life with the Space Time Witch. They all spent another hour of responding to each others questions. And then another five minutes learning what rooms to go into and not to go into. Syaoran was just about to tell Syaoron all about the journey and he and the others were on when a familiar presence wafted through the air, soft, barely audible footsteps being heard. Everyone quickly turned their attention towards the direction of the stairs, where an all to familiar person stood, staring at them with emotionless eyes.
Dun DUN duuun! Who is the familiar person I wonder? We'll find out next chapter! Once I get at least 5 reviews! So if you want the next chapter, review. Otherwise you won't get it. Don't flame me though. For every flame I get, I'll delay by one day or week in updating. Not that the flamer would care. So I'll probably have a ranting message about the flame. So no flaming! And no update until I receive five or more reviews!
Ja ne!
