A/N: And here is the next installment! I really loved working on this fic… I hope you find it enjoyable too! And I just found out the happenings in the real Tsubasa manga recently, so just to let you know, this fic is set in the altered timeline, with Clow Reed as the previous king, not Fujitaka as the original timeline said… Well, I only own until volume seventeen of the manga right now, and all this information is based on the spoilers from wikipedia, so don't blame me if it's wrong… Oh, and I made the original Syaoran stay here, not on the Japan where his parents and Watanuki live… (Do you know who his parents are? It's amazing!!) Oh, and chapter 3 might be slower...
Chapter II: The Clow Country Adventures Saga
"Bye-bye, Syaoran-kun and Sakura-chan!!" Fay waved his hand vigorously while watching Syaoran and Sakura go. They had recently landed in the Country of Clow, Syaoran and Sakura's world. After a few minutes, Syaoran and Sakura vanished from sight.
"What should we do now, I wonder…?" Fay asked no one in particular.
"Fay should decide! After all, Fay isn't in a hurry anymore…" Mokona said cheerfully.
"… You're right…" Fay patted Mokona's head. "Hmmmm…. Why don't we explore this country for a while? I've never seen a country like this before and it all looks so interesting!" Fay suggested while looking around.
"You could have said that earlier." Kurogane replied annoyingly. "We could have had the brat show us around. What if we get lost?"
"We won't get lost because Mokona can just gobble us up and transport us back to your Japan!" Fay said casually. "There's one drawback, though… We don't have any money from this world…"
"THAT'S WHY I TOLD YOU THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID IT SOONER!!" Kurogane screamed.
Somewhere in the castle, Syaoran and Sakura were just going to meet Touya when they heard the scream.
"Was that Kurogane-san…?" Sakura asked Syaoran.
"I could have sworn it was him…" Syaoran said in disbelief. "I know he screams really loud, but I never knew it was this loud."
"What do you mean, Syaoran-kun?"
"If they're still at the place where we left them, I'd say that was a mile away."
"Wow…"
Back to our heroes, a gruff Kurogane was walking ahead of an overly cheerful Fay. "What's wrong, Kuro-rin?"
Kurogane's vein twitched. "Oh, nothing's wrong, nothing at all… EXCEPT FOR YOU!!"
"Waaah! Kuro-tan's angry!!"
"Who wouldn't be?!"
"Oh! Kurogane-san, Fay-san!" Syaoran was surprised to see them. So it was Kurogane-san who screamed…
"Ah! Syaoran-kun! What are you doing here?" Fay asked cheerfully while evading Kurogane's sword.
"Oh, I was just buying some apples." Syaoran pointed to a stall selling yellow apples.
"They look like pears to me." Kurogane said. "I can never get over at how weird fruits are in other worlds."
Fay completely disregarded Kurogane's comment and piped in. "Syaoran-kun, would you mind showing us around? It's okay if you can't. You look like you're very busy."
"Indeed, Fay-san, I'm very sorry. But I can ask the princess and her brother the king to show you around."
"Ah, that would be very nice. Good luck in your work, then!"
Syaoran walked back to the castle. "Thank you, Fay-san."
A few minutes later, a cheerful Sakura and a gentle faced Yukito came into view.
"Fay-san! Kurogane-san! Syaoran-kun said that you needed guides. My brother was being grumpy and he didn't wanna come, so I brought our high priest instead. His name is Yukito-san."
"Very pleased to make your acquaintance, Yukito-sama." Fay said with a smile while offering his hand.
"Likewise, Fay-san." Yukito took Fay's offered hand and shook it. Turning to Kurogane, he offered out his hand as well. "Very pleased to meet you. I'm Yukito, the high priest of this land."
Kurogane reluctantly took the hand and shook it briefly. "Hmph. Kurogane." He said gruffly.
"That is a fake name!" Fay said suddenly, obviously about to make fun of Kurogane. "His real name is… BIG PUPPY!!"
Kurogane's vein was almost about to burst. "You're stepping on dangerous ground, mage…" He said in a scary, low voice while sharpening his sword. "Keep talking and I'll slice you in half."
"B-big puppy?" Yukito asked in confusion.
"NO!!" Kurogane screamed. "I AM KUROGANE!!"
"Ummm… 'big puppy' was an alias that Kurogane-san had in this one world we went to…" Sakura explained to the confused priest.
"Oh… What was Your Highness's alias?"
"Me?! Well… I was little kitty. Fay-san was big kitty."
"And Syaoran-kun?"
"Oh, he was little puppy…"
Yukito laughed heartily. "That's very cute!" Just then, a crash was heard. It turns out that Fay had bumped onto an apple stand and was picking up stuff and apologizing. Kurogane reluctantly put his sword away and gruffly helped pick up. Yukito and Sakura laughed heartily.
After that little scene, all of them took a walk around town. Fay was fascinated with everything he saw! Completely different from his snow-clad country, Clow was a lush town surrounded by sand all around. The kind and friendly citizens smiled and bowed as Sakura-hime and the travelers passed by.
"Look, daddy! Look at all the interesting stuff!" Fay pointed out teasingly. Kurogane's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"How many times do I have to tell you to stop that stupid joke?! I'm really gonna send you to the world of the dead right now!" After saying these words, Fay and Kurogane chased each other again. Yukito looked confused while Sakura just laughed.
"Daddy?"
"It's Fay-san's joke, Yukito-san." Sakura giggled while explaining. "Kurogane-san is daddy, Fay-san is mother Fay, and Syaoran and I were the faithful offspring. We were a little happy 'family'."
Yukito laughed. "You guys had fun traveling, didn't you?"
"Yes, that's true…"
"Anyway, are your friends coming with us?"
"I hope so. Fay-san, Kurogane-san, would you like to stay in Clow for a while?"
"Mokona wants to go with Sakura and explore Clow for a while!" Mokona finally spoke up from inside Kurogane's shirt. "Is that okay with Fay?"
"GAH!! So that's where the white pork bun went!" Kurogane screamed angrily at Mokona. "Next time, ask permission first before sneaking into my shirt!"
Fay giggled. "It's okay with me, Mokona. It wouldn't hurt, right?"
"Wh-what is that thing?" Yukito asked amazingly. "Is it created by the dimension witch?"
"MOKONA IS MOKONA!!" Mokona shouted while jumping onto Yukito's shoulder. Yukito laughed while shaking Mokona's…erm… hand.
"Nice to meet you, Mokona-chan."
"Let's go back to the castle before Onii-san comes to get us!" Sakura said. "And I have to introduce Fay-san and Kurogane-san as well."
"Okay then, let's go!" Fay said cheerfully. "Lead the way, Sakura-chan!"
