"Yay! Yay! Sakura's awake! Sakura's awake!" Mokona cheered, hopping and dancing around her.

Sakura stood up and brushed off her white midriff and long white-pink hemmed skirt. She ran her hand through her short hair, to make sure all the sand was out. "So, What did you remember from your feather?" Fai asked her. "Ummm. . . I remembered the first lightning storm back at my world, and I was with my big brother, King Toya, and his best friend Yukito, and ummm. . . I think I was with someone else, but I can't seem to recall" Sakura told the group, her voice getting sad at the last sentence.

At the last of Sakura's words, Syaoran frowned. Fai put a hand on Syaoran's shoulder. "Don't worry. She may remember you though time." "No. I gave up all her memories about me, Just so I could save her. She'll never remember me the same way again" Syaoran replied, sadly.

Mokona bounced back over to the group. "I'm getting a call from Yuko!" Mokona looked up at the sky, and projected an image from it's pink jewel on it's forehead, of a tall woman looking back at them. The tall woman was in a black dress, with her black hair tied back, wearing a black crescent moon necklace. Her orange eyes had a sense of mysticness as she looked down upon the group.

"Hello Yuko!" Mokona said, waving it's little paw. "Hello all of you" The woman replied, in her slight drawling voice. Kurogane angrily turned his back to her, still fuming about his sword. "So what did you want to tell us?" Syaoran asked. "Nothing. Just checking on you all" Yuko repiled, simply. "Do you know what world we're in?" Fai asked the witch.

She looked at the environment surrounding them, and replied "No, I do not. If you journey a little bit farther to the outskirts of this dessert, there you will find a city that has given this world a most unusual name, for one found in a wasteland." "Thanks for the advice, Yuko" Sakura told her. "You're very welcome, and how are you doing? You look better everytime I see you" The witch told her. "I'm doing great!" Sakura replied.

"We're all taking good care of her" Sacora told the witch. "I know you are" Yuko said, similing down on the six. Then her smile faded, as she heard her shop's doorbell ring. "Watanuki!, could you get that?" she yelled to her shop's servant. Then she turned back to the group to say a few words. "One last thing. A powerful foe from the past may come to face one of you today, and will be far stronger from any other enemy you may have faced. Also, do not forget: you may meet some old allies today, but remember:faces that are familiar to you, have different personalities in each world. For example: you make a new friend in one world, and you meet a person that looks like your friend in the next, in which case it's the same person, but you may recognize the face, but the face does not recognize you, and in which case scenario, the face could also turn on you and become your foe."

"So basically, it's same face, but different personality" said Fai. "Exactly" Yuko told him. "Now I must be on my way. May heaven's fate smile down on you." Then the image of her disappeared, from Mokona. "I guess we continue on forward" said Syaoran. "Is that stupid witch gone yet?" Kurogane asked, looking back. "Yeah. We just go to where this place ends" Fai replied. Kurogane turned around, to take lead of the group. "Let's stop wasting time." "Hold on! we're in a different world! who knows what lies out there?!" Sacora exclaimed. Everyone stopped walking. "What ever is out there, it'll have to get past the four of us before it reaches Sakura" Syaoran assured her. Sacora nodded, and the group marched forward.

The desert seemed to be a never-ending stretch, as the blazing sun rose higher in the sky. Fai wiped some sweat off, with the back of his hand. "Sure is hot out here."
