"I don't get it. You're trying to tell me that where you come from, my name is Touya?" Tori raised an eyebrow at the guys that Sakura had brought home with her. She had said something about thinking they were lost. She said they'd also called Madison by the name of Tomoyo. Something was definitely strange here. Tori ran his finger along the rim of his coffee mug while he thought, and Syaoran spoke.
"That's right. You see, we're looking for something to help us bring a friend of ours back… and well, we ended up here…" Syaoran scratched the back of his head sheepishly and chuckled a bit. "Mokona here gets us from world to world, she's like our travel guide, per say." Mokona giggled and hopped onto Tori's head. Tori was quick to grab the plushy looking creature and hold it in front of him.
"So, its name is Mokona?" He raised another eyebrow and spun Mokona around as if searching her for something. He then placed her down on the table as if satisfied with his conclusion and then took a sip of his coffee. "Well, my dad's not coming home tonight, so I suppose you could all crash here for the night if you need it. Early morning though, you're all outta here." Tori made it plain and simple as he rose from his chair and made his way to the living room.
"Well, I guess I could say at least he was nice enough to put us up here for the night…" Syaoran mumbled as he lifted Mokona up and set her on his shoulder before looking between Fai and Kurogane. "What do you guys think? Should we stay here and try and find something, or is it best that we move on?" Kurogane huffed a bit as Fai shrugged and Syaoran slumped over with a sigh.
"This place is an alternate universe from hell!" Kurogane interjected as he rose to his feet and made his way to the front door. "I need some air." Was all he said and then he was gone. Soon after that Fai nodded to Syaoran and followed after Kuro-puu. Syaoran was now alone at the kitchen table with Mokona asleep on his shoulder as he twisted his cup around. Footsteps were heard heading down the stairs and soon Sakura popped into vision, and she was heading to the kitchen! Syaoran's heart started pounding and he wasn't quite sure why. He took in a deep breath and then took a sip of his drink.
"Oh, Syaoran! So Tori said you guys could stay for the night then? Where are the other two?" She asked as she walked past him to the cabinet for a small plate. That had him wondering but he let it go and nodded. "Yes, he said we could stay for the night as long as we were out early in the morning. And Kurogane and Fai went out for some air…" He sighed and scratched the back of his head again. Seemed a common motion for him as of late. Sakura smiled at him before she reached into the fridge for a cup of pudding.
"Late night snack?" He asked her as she turned and placed it on the plate before she blinked and looked at it and laughed nervously. "Uh… yeah, well. Something like that!" She seemed like she was hiding something, but he would prod, because it was none of his business after all. He just smiled and nodded at her before standing up. "I think I may head off to get some sleep since we have to be out early. Thanks for all the hospitality!" And he went off to the room Tori offered for them to sleep in, not even worrying that the other two might not come back tonight.
