Alright, so I just started to add in a bit of a plot to the whole thing...And just to let you know...the part writen in all Italics, is what is going on in Break's head at the time...just in case people get confused...so enjoy chapter 2~
The rain came pouring down, leaving no area untouched outside. A cariage manuvered through the rain back to the Rainsworth Estate, letting out 5 people as it came to a halt at the front of the estate. The 5 then rushed inside and took off their wet cloathing.
"Nothing again..." Said the disgruntled ninja. "Not one lead...this is getting old.." He said with a huff.
"Oh come now Kuro-sama, i'm sure that we'll find something out sooner or later." Said the mage, as he folded the cloak that he had been wearing.
The young children had been there for about a month so far. And they had found no evidence of a feather. Yet, every time that they asked Mokona, he said that he could feel the presence of a feather. This gave them all hope, but as they continued to search for a feather, they turned up no evidence.
The five who went out, Fai, Kurogane, Oz, Alice, and Gil, ventured back into the parlor where Syaoran, Break, and Sharon awaited them.
"Sakura-chan fell asleep I presume?" Fai asked as he looked around and saw no sign of Sakura in the room. Syaoran noded.
"She's in her room. Mokona is with her as well." He said as he went over to the table and grabed a cup of tea. "So, any luck?" He asked with a bit of a hopeful undertone, which he knew shouldn't be there.
Fai shook his head, smiling apoligetically. "I'm sorry Syaoran-kun." He said as he took a seat on the couch. "All we could find were some chains, which Alice-chan and Oz-kun took care of." He said as he leaned his head back to look at the frustrated ninja leaning against the wall. "Kuro-puu is just mad since he didn't get to fight them~" He said, smiling as if trying to cheer himself up.
The ninja just glared at the mage, finding the name to be unamusing, but he just ignored it for the time being.
Syaoran sighed. "I thought so...there isn't much that we can do...We'll just have to continue searching." He said, his hand balled into a fist as to promote motivation within the group of people.
Fai smiled at the gesture Syaoran made. He always found it likeable when Syaoran put his best foot forward in an effort not to give in. Kurogane just smirked, liking the kid's spunk. But his moment was inturrupted by Fai, who grabed his wrist and dragged him into the hallway.
"I think that Kuro-sama and I shall turn in for the night~" He said, dragging the larger male down the hall, not giving him the chance to protest or the others even the chance to say anything regarding the action. The others just stared as the blonde dragged off the broader man.
"Hay, let go-!" Said the ninja in an effort to remove his wrist from his grip. But, he found that he could not, since Fai's nails seemed to have dug their way into his wrist, nearly drawing blood. Kurogane continued to glare at the younge mage who was dragging him off, even if he never turned his head to directly look at Kurogane.
As soon as they are far enough away from the room where everyone else was, Fai let go of Kurogane's wrist, leaving slight marks where his nails dug into the skin. "Kuro-sama..." He said in a serious tone, which only Kurogane seemed to be allowed to hear from the mage. "What are your thoughts about us not finding any trace of a feather in this world? We have been here awhile, and have turned up nothing, yet Mokona still sences one here..." He asked the ninja. At times like this, it was hard to tell that Fai was even the same person; dropping all of his usual tones of teasing and talking to the man in a truely serious tone about the situation at hand.
Kurogane crosses his arms and thinks for a minute. "I feel like the feather is somewhere near here. We have looked all over town and we can't find it. But I notice that we haven't searched around this house at all or maybe it is in the so called abyss that those people keep talking about."
"Hmm..seems that you might be right Kuro-sama." He said with a bit of a chuckle. "It seems as though they are almost a mirror of us. I guess that would make Sharon-chan like our Sakura-chan right?" He asked, trying to lighten the mood a bit. "But, I think that if anyone is going to talk to Break-san, it should be you Kuro-sama." He said with a sincere smile.
Since Kurogane was so adept at reading Fai like an open book, he figured that Break would be the same way to him. At least, he was hoping that he would be.
Kurogane looks over at Fai. "I see but if I have to talk to Break or what ever his name is, then you have to talk to Gilbert." He said, not wanting the mage to get out of doing something.
Fai nods and then waves good night to the ninja. Then heads into the room that he had been using while they were here.
When Fai had dragged out Kurogane, Syaoran wanted to question him, but found that he had to chance to. Break laughed a bit when he saw them walk out. "Guess that they went off to do some...adult things~ Don't you think Emily~" He said to the doll perched on his shoulder.
"Yes, VERY adult things~ The two of them make a good couple~" The doll replied within a matter of seconds.
No matter how much he tried, Syaoran could not get used to Emily. So he tried to shrug off that the doll had just spoken.
Sharon looks over at Break. "Break-san be nice, or maybe I should mention what you and Gilbert-kun do at night" she says as she sips her cup of tea.
Break looks over at his Ojou-sama, a half-whining expression on his face. "Oujou-sama~ Gilbert-kun and I do no such thing~" He said in protest, knowing that Gil would protest too, given the chance.
"Now now, you know as well as I do that Gilbert-kun is taking care of Oz-kun." She said, loving the moments when she could find ways to tease her man-servant, and make him lose a bit of his composure.
Break smiles. "Of course Ojou-sama~ I just don't want to give young Syaoran-kun the wrong idea~" He said as he took a bite of a small cake.
Sharon smiled. "Now syaoran what is it you wanted to talk to us about?"
Syaoran looked over at her, a bit suprised that she was able to pick up on the topic at hand so quickly. "Well, I wanted to talk about that organization in which you all belong to...uhh, Pandora, was it?"
She smiles at him "What is is you would like to know?"
"Well, do you think that there might be a feather hidden there?" He asked, getting straight to the point. "I mean, you said it yourself a while back, that they had a lot to hide...so who's not to say that they are hidding a feather there? And besides, Mokona can sence one in this world...so, is there anything at all in which you can tell be about Pandora?"
Sharon smiles "Break is probably the one who is better at expaining Pandora's movements."
Break smiled as he sat down in a chair and held his head in his hands, much like Fai would. "Well now, I guess that I will have to take a look into their movements...as of late, I do not know what they are up to...which is unfortionete. But you do bring up a good point Syaoran-kun. We have been searching within the towns, but not within Pandora or any other well-known location. I shall have Reim-san look up some information for us~" He said, taking another bite of cake.
Syaoran smiled, thinking that they might finally be getting somewhere. "Thank you Break-san."
"Oh, think nothing of it~" Break said, smiling with a fork in his mouth.
After the little conversation that they had, Syaoran told them that he was going to go and check on Sakura, to see if she was up or not. Plus, he was obviously worried about her, what with her connections to the feathers and all. Not to mention that she would sometimes up and leave, seeming to somehow track her feathers.
"Break-san? Do you really think that one of those feathers that young Sakura is looking for could really be with Pandora?" Sharon asked once Syaoran was out of the room. She knew the look that Break had on his face all-too-well. He had something to hide. But what he could be hiding, even she could not be sure of.
"Hmm? Well on that, i'm not so sure Ojou-sama..." He said, getting up and walking over to the window, looking up at the brightly lit moon in the sky. "There could be a feather there...But we never know...one could possibly be with Vincent...Or perhaps...maybe one lies with one of us, but we don't even know it...that could be a possiblity. Well, from what they have told us already anyway." He said, looking over at his Ojou-sama with a smile.
Sharon listened to what he had to say, thinking about all of the possibilities that there could be. "Yes..that is true. But if Vincent had it, then he would have made that apparent already wouldn't he?" She asked, knowing Vincent's nature. "You also have to remember that there is the possibility of the feather being with Reo...Since what had happened to him..." She said, remembering what Oz had told them.
"Yes, you are correct Ojou-sama." He said, still continuing to look up at the moon, even though he could not see it anyway.
"Break?"
"Yes, Ojou-sama?" He answered back.
"If there was a way to get your sight back, would you take it?" She asked, wondering what the Hatter's reply would be. Ever since he lost his sight, she had been exceedingly worried about him. She knew that she would have to step up, and take a bit of action in everything that they did, just to protect him, even if just a little. She would always get mad whenever he would say that he didn't need any help, or that he would be fine, which she knew was a lie.
His missed being able to see everyone. And she knew it.
If I said that all I wanted was to see your face once more, would you hold it against me? Would you say that it is selfish of me? Or would you laugh, saying how foolish I am?
Even so, that is what I wish more than anything. For my sight to return to me...for me to be able to see your face, along with everyone else's once again...
I gaze at the sky, hoping to see some change in anything, but to no avail. I find that my endless world of darkness is crashing in on me...the only one to keep me company, is the Mad Hatter...my chain.
But whenever I look deep enough, I feel warmth from something. It's a calming feeling...almost, heart-warming.
But, I must focus at the task at hand. I cannot wollow in my sorrows anymore. I must make myself useful to those around me.
That is who I am...a tool for others to use.
Syaoran made his way down the long hallways to the room where Sakura slept. He opened the door slightly and made his way inside, walking slowly over to the bed to see if she was asleep or not.
And as he thought, she was asleep. Her face was calm and serene, and Mokona layed at her side.
He looked at her peaceful face, hoping that they would find a feather soon. He didn't like how long it was taking them. This world seemed to take them a lot longer than normal to find a feather. And so far, luck wasn't on their side. Not one bit.
Syaoran smiled at the sleeping Sakura and Mokona, and then proceeded out of the room. He was walking down the hall, when his little stroll to his room, was inturrupted by a loud crash, and a shriek. Along with the heard yell of the name 'Ojou-sama' mixed in.
Syaoran ran to the heart of the comotion, finding that Fai and Kurogane were already there, along with Alice, Oz, and Gil.
The room was destroyed. Break was down on the ground, collapsed to his knees.
Sharon had been kiddnapped.
Alright~ There's the begining of the plot...heh, still trying to work out the kincks...such as...oh, nevermind...but I hope to have the next chapter up soon~ R&R please~
