A/N: My first review for this story! I'm very happy. I'm working on the third chapter right now. Thanks for the review, Roku-kun. Fai, my disclaimer please.

Ch. 2 Murderous Maze

"Those berries were really delicious," Sakura said. "Yes, it really is quite good, Sakura-chan," Fai replied. "It's better than what the damn mage makes," Kurogane said in a low voice. Hearing this, Fai's expression changed ever-so-slightly, making sure that the others didn't see how sad he was. "And besides," Kurogane said louder, "where exactly is this Rose Garden Maze anyway. What are we supposed to do, look for giant rosebushes? Just then, a huge wall with thorny, multi-colored roses came into view. "What the hell," Kurogane muttered. "Hey, there's a kind of lock on here," Fai said. "Mokona wants to see," Mokona cried excitedly. "Kurogane-san, do you know what this is?" Syaoran asked.

The ninja was concentrating on the symbol of two things chasing each other, one black and one white. Right next to it were two dots, also black and white. "I wonder how you're supposed to solve it," Sakura said. Then, Kurogane took the white dot and put it in the black thing's head, and did the same for the black dot and the white thing. A gateway lined with blue rose petals appeared with a wooden doorway underneath it. "Well, that was easy," Fai said in a light tone. Something's wrong, he thought to himself. Opening the gate triggered some magic. We had best tread lightly. "Kurogane-san, how did you know that you had to complete the puzzle like that?" Syaoran asked, confused.

"In my world, it looks like an incomplete Yin-Yang, a symbol for happiness and balance. All it was missing were the two dots," Kurogane replied. Upon entering the maze, the entrance disappeared. "How are we supposed to leave?" Sakura asked worriedly. "I think that this maze was designed to keep people in, not out," Fai replied quietly. Deeper they went into the maze, and they didn't dare split up. Suddenly, the ground beneath them collapsed into a rocky cavern. "Sakura-hime, are you all right?" Syaoran asked frantically. "I'm okay, Syaoran-kun," Sakura replied in a shaky voice. The gang looked around, and Syaoran noticed the coffins lying on the ground. "It looks like we're in some kind of burial chamber," Syaoran whispered. The opening coffins creaked loudly around them, the bony and skeletal fingers reaching for them. They ran for their lives, the undead army being too much for them. The group of five (including Mokona) ran into a narrow corridor, and escaped harm. "Hyuu, an undead army. Maybe they protect the Dream wands," Fai said, panting for breath. Sakura turned around to face an intricately carved door. All of them entered into darkness.


A/N: The yin yang thing was... a random idea. I wanted them to face some kind of puzzle. Oh, and send ideas for what you want me to write about next, as long as you tell me how the characters act so that they don't end up OOC.
