Another chapter! Yay! Well, anyway, let's get right down to it:

kazamayuki61994: Thanks sosososo much! I'm glad you think it's interesting!

ElementalGuardianProtector: Meanie bestest friend. Nah, just kidding! No, Yukito isn't Sakura's older brother. That's Toya! Yukito is the high priest. (in case you missed that part...) Thanks for the review! See you at school in how ever many days it is.

dbzgtfan2004: Yes, Sakura and Syaoran above all! Thanks a bunch!

sakura-fai: No, Yukito didn't know anything about the bargain. He knew Syaoran had to give something up, but he didn't know what. What my sister and I think is that the clone (trust me, I've read all the manga) is half of him. Realizing that he has a good right eye and Syaoran doesn't...anyway, thanks!

Reader: I am updating, you see? Muhahaha!

RaineForever: Arigato! They are back because of another feather! I am updating! And you will have to wait to find out! Muhahaha!

Mokona: Sylph has gone crazy!

Anyway...

Amaterasu-Sun-Goddess: Thankies for the compliment. I am continuing, of course! Tsubasa cool.

sacred magician: Chapter two, at your disposal!

And...disclaimer: Hey, guess what?! I own Tsubasa! And I'm rich, and living in a palace with anime stuff all around, and- wait, it WAS a dream! T.T

Chapter 2

"So, what you're saying...is that Yuko sent you all across different dimensions, and that your price to pay was your relationship with Sakura-hime?" Yukito cocked his head, "This IS indeed, very confusing."

King Toya grunted, "What's confusing about it?"

"He is her...chosen."

"Oh. That."

Fai inquired, "What do you mean by...'chosen'?"

"We cannot tell you while the bozu is here." Toya gestured to Syaoran.

Syaoran looked around, then bowed, "Then, excuse me..." and he left the room, joining Sakura outside.

She blinked, "What's going on? Why would they kick you out, too?"

"Something about being a chosen..."

Inside, Kurogane asked, "So, what about it?"

"Well, you see, Syaoran is..."

"C'mon, Syaoran-kun! Follow me! I want to show you the birds that I used to care for!" Sakura tugged him by his wrist.

"I'm coming, Princess, I'm coming..." Syaoran assured. But... he thought, if only she knew. That I'd seen all this before. If she did...well, I wouldn't be here in this situation, would I?

They climbed up to the top of the palace, and came at a tower with pigeons in a small cage. Sakura smiled, and opened it. One flew to her hand, and she stroked it, while laughing a little as the others flew out and circled them. Syoaran smiled as well, "Thanks for showing me, Sakura-hime."

Sakura released the bird, then cheered, "Syoaran-kun smiled at me!"

Yeah, if only she knew.

Mokona came up behind them and giggled, "We should never leave the young children alone! No, no, no!"

Sakura flushed, "Moko-chan...did you come up to check on us?"

"Yep! They kicked Mokona out. Well, Kurogane did because he thought Mokona would tell you two what they were talking about. They made Mokona promise." Mokona pouted.

"Did you hear a little of what they said?" Syaoran inquired.

"Yep."

"Would you tell me?"

"Nope. Sorry."

Syoaran sighed, "Oh, well. Maybe we'll find out later."

Sakura beamed, "I'm so happy to finally see my onii-sama again!"

"Yeah, it's great." Syaoran agreed, then muttered under his breath, "Although I think he just wants to wish for me to leave as soon as possible..."

"What was that, Syaoran-kun?"

"Nothing."

Then, Fai decided to pop up, "Hi, guys! What'cha doing?"

"Fai-san, any information?" Syaoran inquired, ignoring his remark.

Fai looked at Mokona.

He bowed his head, "I sense a feather...it's nearby...close."

"That's good." Fai nodded, "Anyway, I came to tell you, Syaoran-kun, that your king would like a word with you."

"Me?!"

Sakura seemed a little startled at his reaction, but Fai nodded again, "Yeah."

The teen walked down back inside the palace, then made his way to the throne room. He bowed before Toya, and stood, "You wanted to see me, Your Majesty?"

"Yeah. Sit down, bozu." Toya pointed at a chair. Syaoran gave him a weird look, but sat in it. They sat in silence for quite some time before Toya stood and looked down at the teen, "Ya know, Syaoran..."

His eyes went wide. Since when did the king of the country of Clow call him by name?

"I'm sorry about all this."

"Wh-what? I don't understand."

"Well, you loved Sakura."

Hint an immediate flush to you-know-who.

"And you gave up your relationship to save her life. In a way, I have to respect that. I wouldn't have known what to do if a girl I loved had that happen, and then be in that position. Not to mention..."

He tensed.

"You're her chosen."

Then, Syaoran frowned, "Again with this 'chosen' stuff. Is anyone going to tell me what that means?"

"You're-"

Mokona jumped in the room, his eyes wide, "Syaoran! Syaoran! The feather is really close!"

"Do you know where it is?"

"No, but it's rreeeaallllyyy ccclllooossssseeeee!!!" Mokona sounded as if he would cry, "It's really powerful!"

"Show me where it's most powerful!"

Syaoran apologized to the king, then ran out of the room, following Mokona. Mokona's eyes never changed as he led Syaoran to the entrance of the palace, where Fai and Kurogane were waiting. Kurogane told him, "The Princess is with your priest."

"Alright. Where, Mokona?" Syaoran urged.

They walked outside, and Mokona perked it's ears up and felt around for the presence of it. Then, his eyes went back to normal, and he groaned, "It's gone."

Syaoran growled.

And, from above, Yukito muttered, "You really are determind to save her, aren't you, Syaoran?"

I wonder if anyone can guess where the 'feather that no one suspects' is at...

Well, please read and review!
