Hi! I'm back cause I got nothin' better ta do… I checked out the other Tsubasa stories and half of them were in Spanish, and the other quarter and quarter and half was Fai and Kurogane fics, they're not gay are they? Also I took out the fifth book… hehe! :) I'm not writing for it yet, though it did confuse me…

Sakura's POV
I woke early in the morning and sneaked out into the kitchen making sure my brother would not find me. Inside I prepared a lunch for both me and Syaoran, I made sure I put in lots of his favorite foods. I was humming happily working at my mission when the door opened, and Yukito came in. I froze
"Sakura, what are you doing?" he asked
"Uh… well… umm…" I stuttered trying to come up with some alibi
"Don't worry; I wont tell Tôya" he told me, I breathed a sigh of relief, then told him excitedly what I was doing. He smiled and nodded, but did he seem somewhat sad? I shrugged it off, and then I put the food in a basket and covered it with a cloth. Yukito walked with me to the dig site, but he said that we needed to pick up my brother first because he was going to give an inspection of the site.
When we finally arrived I ignored my brother's protests and asked an excavator where Syaoran was, he laughed merrily and told me that he was in the new tunnel, he pointed in its direction, I thanked him and took off.
I followed the flight of stairs down into a chamber and I saw my Syaoran standing in the middle of it reading some book
"SYAORAN!" I cried waving, he whipped around as I ran to him, I grabbed onto his arms smiling fiercely.
"What is it?" he asked worriedly
"I brought lunch for us! I asked somebody outside, and he said that you were here!" I told him cheerily, his worry still didn't leave his face
"It's dangerous here! There are no reinforcements or safety measures. The ceiling could fall at any time!" then why do you stay here so unsafe? I wondered
"And the king will be worried about you!" he added, instead of voicing my concern I replied differently
"Don't Worry! Tôya's here too! He's on an inspection of the site… here!" I glanced at the floor of the chamber where Syaoran had previously been standing; it was the pattern that I had seen last night! Syaoran interrupted my thoughts with an explanation
"I looked like it was an underground passage… but it came to a dead end here." I took a step towards it
"It's made of some incredibly strong rock. We've tried everything, but we can't get beyond it. He continued
"This here…" I said feeling myself fall back into the trance that I was in last night, I was losing control of my body
"I saw it last night."
"Eh?" inquired Syaoran, I was on my knees now, I reached out and my hands touched the cool surface of the stone, I ran my fingers down one line of the pattern, it reminded me of a feather… as my hands came to rest in front of me, a glow burst forth from the relief a strip of especially bright light came under my feet and a began to rise in the air, I was vaguely aware of the rumbling, the falling stone, and of Syaoran calling my name I could not answer, my cape fluttered around me flying in the air, and slowly settled at my side, but it was still spread out.
"SAKURA!" called Syaoran, worry lacing his voice, why did he fret so? Sparkles of light were rising around me swirling gently
"What in the-" started Syaoran, running across the newly formed pathway, he came to a stop below and in front of me, he began to call my name
"SAKURA!" he screamed
"SAKURA!" he screamed again, I scarcely heard him my eyes closed part way I felt the 'pattern' behind me form into wings, my wings, I leaned down ever so slightly, folding my hands I was aware of my wings wrapping around me, I heard a voice from somewhere else, and this world and that seemed to blend together, I saw what was happening at both, the man in the second world… he had the same odd symbol on his shirt that I had seen, the symbol that had differed from most! I heard him speak
"The power to pass through space and time." He said, I waited for more, and was rewarded for my patience
"And that which points the way are the wings… the "TSUBASA"! and now… that power is reborn!" his voice sounded powerful and commanding, but it had an evil air, I shivered I felt the wall that had been behind me, reaching for me, it was not really acting like a stone substance, but more like a putty, I was sinking into it gently, not attached to this world…
"SAKURA!" I heard, the shout was so loud it jolted me, and Syaoran jumped and grabbed me pulling me to the floor, I felt my wings stiffen harshly and I felt as each individual feather flew from my plumage and scattered into the skies, headed out to many worlds… darkness enveloped me, but I was aware of every word that passed through my love's lips
"Sakura! SAKURA! SHE'S GETTING COLDER AND COLDER!" he was despairing to no one as no one was there to help him, and me I realized, I stopped hearing him though he said something more, and I instead heard the uncaring and blade like-words of another woman
"It didn't work did it?"
The man replied "Perhaps, but this is the beginning. And when it's done… I will have… a power that spans the universes!" I don't think he knew that I could hear him, I felt myself being lifted and carried by Syaoran, out into the sandy sunny outside, blackness was cushioning me now, and the words spoken were so vague… I felt my eyelids drop, they were barely open now, I heard only one more thing before fading
"The princess's wings have taken flight." It was Yukito, good ol' Yukito…
"The wings and the princess's heart are one." That was it I couldn't stay in this sub-conscious dream-like state any longer, and the black folded around me comfortingly…
I woke feeling a new power coursing through my veins, I looked around and saw a woman
"Who are you?" I asked,
"I'm the Dimension witch, Yûko" she replied seriously
"Why am I here?" I asked, she smiled
"So full of questions, aren't we?" she waved her hand and another scene took place
"This is what is really happening young princess" she told me, I saw both my unconscious body, and her own awakened one
"How are we both there if we're here?" I asked
"Look at yourself" she commanded, I did, and gasped I could see through myself!
"How-what…?"
"Your magic is strong, as is mine, I am both here talking to you, and there" she pointed at the real shop "do not ask anymore questions, they will be answered." I shut my mouth
"Those wings of yours, the 'Tsubasa' have taken both your memory, and your heart" I began to opened my mouth in a question, but her look stopped me "your body is in a comatose state, while your mind is not, and though you remember things now, if and when you wake, you will remember nothing."
"What?" I demanded completely shocked
"I said no questions!" she snapped, she then regained her composure, "Just watch the scene for now alright?" I nodded and watched…
"Syaoran… your price is… your relationship. The thing you value the most… is your relationship with her. So that's your price" Said Yûko
"My price? But how-" Started Syaoran, but Yûko cut him off
"Even if… this child's memories are completely restored… your relationship with her will never be the same again. So what is she to you?"
"A childhood friend… and the princess of a country… … and… … and a girl who is precious to me!" he replied, my heart leapt, did he feel the same way to me that I felt for him? could it be… that he loved me too? The Yûko there spoke
"….. I see. However, if you want to accept Mokona, that relationship will end. Even if you retrieve all of her memories… the one memory that you will never retrieve will be her memory of you. That is my price." She paused before asking one more question "Will you still pay it?" Syaoran's head was bowed…
"Let's go." He looked up determination like a fire in his eyes, and he held my body close to him, "I will NOT let Sakura die!" he did love me didn't he?
I stopped watching
"Yûko, that isn't fair! I love him and if he loves me than you can't take that away from both of us!"
"Fair or not, that is my price, the only way for him to be able to save you is for him to give up his most valued thing, and that my dear… is you. So it's not my fault."
"It is so your fault, you don't have to charge him a price if you don't want to!"
"Sakura, I have to charge a price, do you know how hard it is to cast magic? When the price is paid then I do not weaken nearly as much, and Mokona is a very special creature."
"Well, I don't like it."
"Like it or not, this is what is happening, so I suggest that you at least try to help him as much as you can in your current form."
"Fine, I will, and then, when I wake up I will work my hardest to remember Syaoran!" she smiled sadly
"That will be pointless my dear, a fair price is not to be trifled with."
"Hmm!" I disagreed, by then it was nearly time for them to go, I noticed one feather stuck onto their clothes, I went up to it and gently took hold of it, then as the creature called Mokona used it's dimensional powers, I came with them, holding on by a string.
The feel of journeying to another world was quiet unique… and soon I was with the group in a new place, Syaoran had gone unconscious, the journey to much for him to handle, the wizard guy Fai was awake, so he must be more accustomed to travel like this, and the ninja was fine too, probably too tough to let himself sleep. I looked around a bit, and realized, I could see hundreds of spirit-like creatures! I went up to one
"Excuse me?" it turned to me
"What?"
"Who are you?" I asked, it gave me a funny look
"You must be from elsewhere, we are Kudan, every person here has a Kudan… if you are with people who do not have a Kudan… well I suggest you find a lone Kudan who needs a master"
"Do you have a master?" I asked, it seemed to smile
"Yes I do child, but I know somebody who might listen to you" he leaned close to my ear and began to whisper instructions; I nodded and followed his directions.
I ended up in a cave… with a wolf.
"Who are you?" it asked
"I am Sakura" I replied, it nodded
"What do you want from me?"
"I need you to be someone's Kudan"
"No" it said fiercely
"But, why not?" I asked
"Because, the men and women of the world are too self-absorbed and wish for power only for fights and to gain control of their human world."
"Well, the person I am asking you to partner with isn't like the people here, he is kind and gentle, and we won't be here for long."
"Who is this person?"
"A boy named Syaoran." He seemed to think for a minute
"And what will you do?" it was my turn to think
"I will help you" it laughed
"How can you help me?"
"I'm… I'm not sure, but there must be some way I can help" I reached forwards and touched it's mane, suddenly it burst into flames
"Ahh I see… I will help this 'Syaoran' of yours… but only because of your pure spirit." I hugged it
"Thank you!" a rumble escaped it's throat and it laughed in pleasure.
Not too much happened after that, I just followed them invisibly around, until I noticed a fight between people with their Kudan, and one Kudan was headed to attack Syaoran, Fai, Kurogane, and Mokona! Then the fiery wolf Kudan that I befriended leapt forth, and guarded them! I gave a silent thanks once more.
"You seem to have a special Kudan, don't you?" stated the man whose Kudan had been attacking my friends. Syaoran just gaped, and I watched and wondered 'what will happen now?'
