The Country of Koryo
Thank you to the people who have read this story so far. It's going to be really, really long... Sorry...
Well, I forgot to say a whole bunch of stuff in previous chapters, so i'll say them now...
This whole story is based on a dream I had during my 8th grade summer. I was reading Tsubasa manga before i went to bed and had a dream where i got to travel with the Tsubasa cast. So that means my OC, Yuki, is based on yours truly, xxxKairi-chan. I changed several things about Yuki: she's small, not tall like I am; has short hair, not long like i have; has violet eyes, not brown like i have; she's pure Japanese, not just half like I am; she's relatively athletic, whereas I'm not... Basically, she's my would-be self... (for those of you who know what Shugo Chara is, yes, Yuki is my would-be self.)
Here's the summary for this chapter: Yuki travels to Koryo with the Tsubasa cast... what else is there to say...
So with out further ado, let's begin!
I was back in the dark, traveling to another world. When I looked back, I was my lion cub kudan waving good-bye as it fluttered in the air. Thank you. I thought. Then I looked straight forward. In the distance, I could see people appearing. I crash landed on top of Kurogane in this new world.
"See," I grunted, "I told you that you needed to be punished."
"Just get off," he grumbled. I obliged. "Ugh. Where are we now?"
Fai sat up and looked around. There were many men in defensive positions with staffs in their hands. They were frightened by us; after all, we fell from the sky. "Wow! Everyone's staring at us!" he said as Mokona's wings disappeared.
"I'm the center of attention!" she squealed.
A large, thuggish man stepped forward. "Who the hell are they?!" he demanded, "And where the hell did they come from?!" The thug roughly grabbed Sakura's arm. Syaoran instinctively kicked him hard in the face. Everyone was surprised. As the thug landed, Syaoran crouched defensively in front of Sakura. "Hey!! Do you have any idea who you just kicked?!"
The thug was just about to command his guards to attack us, when a young voice shouted, "CUT IT OUT!!!" Standing on a nearby rooftop, was a girl about 10 years old. Her long, black hair was tied up in a ponytail. "Don't go around bullying people, you stupid son!" she yelled.
"Chu'nyan!" the thug cried, "Who are you calling a 'stupid son?!'"
"Huh? Is there anyone here more stupid than you?" Chu'nyan mocked.
One of the guards stepped forward. "How dare you speak to the son of the Ryan Ban, the ruler, of our village that way?" After a few more exchanges between the men and the girl, the thug and his guards ran away. I stood up and dusted myself off. Then I began to help Syaoran. We had landed in the middle of a marketplace; the merchandise (which happened to be dragon-fruit and potatoes) went rolling everywhere.
"Come on!" Fai waved, "Kuro-pin, you help too!"
"Ugh!" Kurogane stomped, "Why me?!"
I whipped my head in his direction. "Did I hear a complaint?" I said darkly. He became nervous and helped quietly.
As we stacked the crates and put the merchandise back, Chu'nyan stared for a moment. "You're dressed weird!" she said in a loud voice. Fai took it as a joke and pointed at Kurogane.
"Haha!" he laughed, "She said you're dressed weird!"
"If I'm dressed weird then so are you!" Kurogane shouted.
"You two," I scolded, "stop fighting!"
"Okie-dokie!" Fai smiled.
Chu'nyan suddenly gasped. "You guys! Could you be…?!" She grabbed Sakura's hand. "Come!" Then she dashed off, dragging a sleepy and confused Sakura with her.
"Ah!" Syaoran was startled. "P-please wait!" But Chu'nyan wouldn't wait. Syaoran ran after them with Mokona on his head. I quickly bowed to the owner of the store we crashed into and apologized. Then I ran after Kurogane and Syaoran. Fai soon followed (he had to get his staff).
Chu'nyan led us to her house. She told us to make ourselves at home. Syaoran and Sakura sat in front of Chu'nyan on top of some mats she had pulled out. Fai was looking around and Kurogane took his place in the corner. Like Fai, I was looking around, but when I saw Kurogane pull out the magazine I helped him buy in Hanshin-Kyouwa, I walked over to him. I read over his shoulder, listening to Chu'nyan's conversation with Syaoran and Sakura. She was explaining what the Amen'osa were. Fai jumped into the conversation.
"Did you think we were the Amen'osa? Um…" he didn't catch her name.
"Chu'nyan."
"Chu'nyan-chan, huh? I'm Fai. And that's Syaoran-kun. That's Sakura-chan."
"I'm Yuki," I said, "and…"
"That's Kuro-puu!" Fai and I said simultaneously.
"It's Kurogane!!" he shouted angrily.
Fai turned back to Chu'nyan. "So the ruler of this town is so bad you want the Amen'osa to come?"
"Yes! He's the worst!" Chu'nyan wore a pained expression, "My mother… he…" A loud sound cut her off.
"Is that the wind?" Fai asked as he stood up. I motioned for Mokona to come close to me. I held onto her tightly, bracing myself.
"Don't go outside!!!" Chu'nyan cried. As soon as she said that, the window flew open. The wind was actually a tornado. It decapitated the roof and part of the wall in a flurry. Soon, it was over.
"That wasn't a regular wind," Fai said, "was it?"
"It was the Ryan Ban!" Chu'nyan grit her teeth. Then she threw her head to the sky and shrieked, "THIS IS ALL HIS FAULT!!!!"
After we gathered ourselves together, I offered to help fix her roof. Fai also agreed.
"Kuro-pyon will help too," he volunteered the armored ninja against his will.
"You should take Sakura-chan, Syaoran-kun, and Mokona around town." I told Chu'nyan, who simply asked why. "You might find something interesting," I hinted. I was reffering to Sakura's unbelievable luck.
"Fine," Chu'nyan agreed. "You guys, come with me." She led the three out the door and towards the town.
After I waved good-bye, I turned to Fai and Kurogane. "Let's get started!" I smiled. Back in Japan, my home world, I had helped my dad build our house, so helping with the roof wouldn't be so bad.
The wall was fine, but the door and the window weren't. The wooden window was shattered and the door, which was similar to a Japanese paper door, had a large hole in it. I helped Fai with the window while Kurogane worked on the door in solitude. When we were done, we began to work on the roof. Fai helped me climb to the top, since there was no ladder. Kurogane didn't accept anyone's help.
"Fai-san," I called down into the house through the hole in the roof, "stay down there and pass us the planks of wood!"
"O~ka~y!"
Kurogane and I used my jacket to hold the nails. Luckily, there were two hammers, so we were both able to work. I noticed that every time Kurogane hammered, he grumbled.
"Why… do I… have to… fix… some stranger's… house!"
"Stop complaining," I muttered.
"We're staying here," Fai noted, "so of course we need to help out.
"But…" Kurogane began. I cut him off.
"Chu'nyan's living here all by herself, you know." I was surprised the bracelet didn't shock me when I said this.
"How do you know that?" he asked skeptically.
"My bracelet didn't shock me because you need to know. Chu'nyan didn't say it earlier because I changed the flow of events."
Fai nodded his head in comprehension. "That makes sense."
"Oh, yeah," Kurogane said, "How long are we gonna hafta stay here?"
"Well, that's up to Mokona," Fai answered.
Kurogane suddenly began hammering wildly in anger. "AAAGGGHHH!!!! Dammit!!! Why does that white pork bun always take that kid's side?!?!"
Fai laughed. "Mokona went with Chu'nyan-chan, Syaoran-kun, and Sakura-chan. It'd be nice if they found something." When he said this, Kurogane stopped pounding his hammer.
"Is it okay for that princess to be walking around?" He seemed a little worried. "You can never tell when she's gonna fall flat on her face, asleep."
"There aren't enough memories for Sakura-chan to return to the way she was before." Fai's face was downcast and his eyes were serious. "She only has two feathers. It does seem like some memories have returned though.
"She doesn't have much of a personality and she can't really comprehend what's happening yet. We need to travel to different worlds and help her get her memory back.
"Well… even if she were to have every single feather returned to her…"
"…Her memories of Syaoran-kun will never return," I finished for him. We were all silent for a moment before Fai sat down and continued.
"Even so, Syaoran-kun's going to search. He's going to travel to many worlds and search for Sakura's feathers, her memories. No matter how difficult it may be…" he said softly. Again, we were silent for a moment. "In the meantime," he traded his dark, serious tone for a playful one, "let's keep up with the construction work while we wait! I wonder if they'll bring back presents!"
Kurogane's vein popped out in anger. "Then… WHY ARE YOU LYING AROUND DRINKING TEA?!?!?!?! YOU NEED TO WORK TOO!!!!!!!" He threw his hammer at Fai, which landed on his head. He didn't seem to feel it.
"Hmm. I thought I would watch over Yuki-chan and Kuro-pippi while they work!" The hammer fell to the ground with a soft thud. I began laughing when Kurogane started yelling, but when Fai wouldn't get up and work, I got a little angry.
"Fai-san?" I asked darkly. He looked up with a cat-like expression on his face. It was all I could do to keep from smiling, his face was absolutely adorable! Thankfully, I was able to keep my dark tone. "You should help out if you don't want to die." My eyes were shining in a way only possible in manga.
"O-okay…" Fai said meekly.
"Thank you very much, Fai-san!" I switched to a kinder disposition. "We're going to have to work faster if we're going to finish before Sakura-chan guys come back." When I noticed both Fai and Kurogane sweat drop, I smiled to myself. Being a manga character was so much fun!
We were able to get the roof done before the others returned, so we just sat around, talking. Kurogane found a board game similar to one in his world. Syaoran, Sakura, Mokona, and Chu'nyan returned with large baskets of food and clothes while we were playing it.
"Welcome back!" Fai said cheerfully, "How was it? I was able to communicate with Yuki-chan and Kuro-tan the whole time, so you didn't go very far, I assume." Then he noticed their sad, defeated faces, especially Chu'nyan's. "Looks like… something happened," he voiced.
They came in and sat down. I saw Syaoran's injured face and asked Chu'nyan if she had any medicine for him. She nodded and went to get it. When she returned, I helped Sakura put it on. As I did so, I listened to Fai and Chu'nyan's conversation. She explained that while they were out, Syaoran tried to help some civilians from Ryon'fui's tyranny, but was defeated by the Ryan Ban's 'wind.'
"If that's the case," Kurogane jumped in, "why don't you just take over?"
"We tried and tried to defeat him!" Chu'nyan insisted. "But we weren't able to lay a single finger on him! The castle he hides in is protected my hijutsu and we can't even get near it!"
"I see," Fai said, "was that the mysterious power you felt, Mokona?"
Mokona nodded. "There was so much power, I couldn't tell if there was a feather or not!"
Fai turned back to Chu'nyan. "By the way, why don't you go after the son? Capture him or something," he suggested. His message was dark, but he said it so lightly, it didn't seem as bad.
"Just now… you said something really dark…" Kurogane noted. Fai simply kept smiling.
"We can't!" Chu'nyan raised her voice and shook her head fiercely. "The Ryan Ban uses hijutsu to watch over the entire village of Ryon Fui. If we ever did something to his son…!"
"It'd be like what happened to your house… and Syaoran-kun." Fai comprehended, "you'd be attacked by hijutsu… I heard that the Ryan Ban suddenly became powerful about a year ago. Could it have anything to do with Sakura-chan's feather?" Syaoran froze when he mentioned the feather.
"That doesn't match up!" Kurogane pointed out, "Those feathers were only lost recently!"
"But the dimensions are different, so the time may be different too," said Fai. Behind him, Syaoran silently stood up.
"I'm going to go check it out," Syaoran declared, "see if the feather really is with the Ryan Ban."
Sakura gripped his clothes, which matched the country we were in. "Wait!" she exclaimed, still half asleep, "Syaoran-kun, you're hurt…"
"I'm fine," he reassured.
"But…!"
"Don't worry. If we find a feather, we'll return it to you as soon as we can."
"Syaoran-kun…" During Syaoran and Sakura's little exchange, I inched myself away toward Kurogane. It was cute and touching, but I felt kind of awkward just being near them.
"Wait a minute," Fai held up his hand, "don't worry, I don't intend to stop you, but… it seems like that Ryan Ban's magic is really strong. It's impossible to simply walk in. Even if we knew what kind of spell was guarding that castle, we would still need to break it."
"Can you do something about that?" Kurogane asked.
"Nope!" Fai answered cheerfully.
"Let's ask Yuuko!" Mokona suggested. Then the red jewel on her forehead began to shine and a circular screen appeared from it. In the screen, an image of Yuuko turned around.
"Hello Mokona. Is something wrong?" she asked. Everyone except me jumped in surprise. There was babbling confusion. I stood up and bowed to Yuuko and tried to say hi, but it was too loud. A vein popped out on my forehead and I yelled, "BE QUIET!!!" Everyone was silent. (I seemed to have a bit more power in the manga universe.) I greeted Yuuko and explained our situation.
"I see," she said with understanding. "You want to break the spell on the castle so you can get in."
"Exactly!" Fai sang.
"…but you don't really need my help. Fai, you can use magic, right?"
"I kind of gave you my magic tattoo, so…"
"The tattoo I received as payment was made to hold magic back. That… is not the source of your power." Fai was silent for a moment before continuing.
"Well, I've promised myself I wouldn't use magic without that tattoo."
"That's fine," Yuuko declared, "I'll send you something that will break the spell on that castle. But… I will need payment."
Fai went and got his staff. "How is this? It's a tool for magic, but I won't use it." Yuuko agreed and instructed him to put it in Mokona's mouth; she quickly swallowed it. Chu'nyan held onto Sakura in horror. She had never seen anything like it.
A few moments later, a small, dark brown orb popped out of Mokona's mouth. By then the image of Yuuko disappeared. Syaoran caught it and held it in his hand. "This… is going to break the spell," he whispered. He was just about to walk out the door when I grabbed his shoulder to stop him.
"You are not going to the castle today," I scolded, "You're hurt and Sakura-chan's going to be worried sick about you. The least you can do is rest until tomorrow."
"That's right, kid," Kurogane agreed. Syaoran nodded in understanding then placed the orb within his robes.
"Oh, yeah!" Chu'nyan exclaimed. "We brought back lots of stuff!" She dashed to the baskets. There were three. The two large ones were filled with food and the small one was filled with clothes. She came back with the small one. "Here are some clothes for you! We were able to get it, thanks to Sakura's amazing luck!" She handed Kurogane, Fai, and me our robes. Mine was mostly gray and black, but the sash was a rich violet. "Yuki, you can change in there." She pointed to one of the sliding doors. I thanked her then went to get changed. The clothes were a little long, but I didn't mind. I could hear Fai teasing Kurogane, so I got out quickly. I asked Chu'nyan where they were changing and she pointed to the other door (the one we fixed).
"You better not break anything!" I shouted. Then I went back to Syaoran guys and sat down. I noticed Sakura's head bobbing; she seemed really, really tired. "Syaoran-kun," I hissed. When he looked at me, I pointed to Sakura then patted my shoulder, hinting for him to let Sakura rest on his shoulder.
He hesitantly raised his hand and moved Sakura's head onto his shoulder. He held it there with one hand and grasped her waist with the other. I made a heart around them with my hands and he blushed. Chu'nyan and I quietly giggled.
A minute later, Fai and a grumbling Kurogane came in. Fai saw the sleeping Sakura and put his finger to his lips, silently telling him to be quiet. Kurogane's grumbling stopped.
I helped Chu'nyan set a futon for Sakura, whom Syaoran then lay down in it. Mokona jumped onto my shoulder and whispered that it was getting late. I whispered the message to Chu'nyan and we got more futon.
Soon we were all asleep.
The next morning, Fai woke me up. (The other guys were already awake.) He asked if I could stay at the house with Sakura and Chu'nyan.
"Sure," I agreed. "By the way, when you fight, be careful. The water…" I was about to say that the water will hurt. It was supposed to be a warning (you know, about Kiishimu). Sadly, my bracelet shocked me and I couldn't say it. Fai ruffled my hair and thanked me for trying.
Sakura, Chu'nyan, and Mokona woke up soon after. Syaoran kneeled down and had Mokona jump onto his shoulder. Then he told Chu'nyan to stay while they went to the castle. She was still half asleep and by the time she comprehended what he had said, he was already heading out the door. She got up quickly and ran after him.
"Ah! Chu'nyan!" I called. She didn't stop. I sighed and led Sakura outside, where we could hear Chu'nyan yell no.
"I want to go to the Ryan Ban too!" she demanded.
Fai walked toward her and said, "The Ryan Ban's castle is full of spells and magic. It's very dangerous."
Chu'nyan argued to Syaoran that she would go, defeat the Ryan Ban, and avenger her mother's death. But Syaoran wouldn't budge.
"Please stay here with Princess Sakura and Yuki-san," he said firmly as he turned around and left.
"…Syaoran-kun…" Sakura whispered. Chu'nyan stared at her feet and spoke in a hurt, quivering voice.
"It's because I'm just a kid… and I can barely use hijutsu… and I'd just get in the way…"
Sakura hugged her lovingly, like a mother would to her child. "I'm sure that isn't it," she told her. I stood on the side, watching them. Then I broke the touchy scene.
"Ugh! I can't stand all this cute, fluffiness! Come on, let's eat. I'm starving!" As if to prove my point, my stomach growled.
"Was that thunder?" asked Chu'nyan, wiping her face with her sleeve.
"Nope!" I grinned as I patted my stomach, "That was me!" The little girl smiled and agreed to go inside. For our breakfast, we ate fruit from one of the baskets from yesterday. Chu'nyan explained which was which. Afterwards, we played the board game Kurogane found the day before. It turned out that we were playing it almost exactly the same way. And, of course, Sakura won every time. While we were playing, my bracelet shocked me, even though I hadn't said anything. When I looked at it, the purple gem was glowing. I asked to be excused for a moment then went outside.
From the gem, a circular screen appeared with Yuuko's image shown in it. This gem was exactly like the one the Mokonas had on their forehead.
"Hello Yuki-chan," Yuuko greeted.
"Hello Yuuko-san. Did you need something?"
"I just thought that I'd let you know that you should head for the castle soon. Remember to bring the mirror."
"Oh yeah!" I slapped my forehead. "I forgot about that!" Yuuko was referring to the part in the manga where Chu'nyan and Sakura arrive at the castle with the mirror. "Thank you so much for reminding me, Yuuko-san! Do you need payment or anything?"
"No, it's okay. I'm just trying to keep the story as close to the original as I can. You better get going, Yuki-chan."
"Yes ma'am. I'll see you later, Yuuko-san."
"See you later." Then the screen disappeared and the jewel stopped glowing. I ran back into the house.
"Chu'nyan!" I pointed to the shelf of magic tools. "What does your mother's mirror do?"
She seemed a little puzzled. "It… breaks spells, but only if they're cast on people. Why?"
"We need to take it to the castle," I said as I pulled Sakura up.
"The castle?" Sakura asked, "But we're supposed to stay here."
"The plan's changed a little bit, Sakura-chan. Syaoran-kun needs us to take it to the castle for him.
"So, Chu'nyan, can you lead us to the castle?" The three of us traveled to our destination, which wasn't very far at all. I let Chu'nyan hold onto her mother's mirror.
"How are we supposed to get in?" Sakura wondered on our way there.
"Don't worry. It'll be fine," I answered her. Sure enough, it was. We got into the castle with no problem and finding the room the Ryan Ban and Syaoran were in was easy too. Chu'nyan was about to burst in, but I stopped her. "Wait a little bit." I strained my ears and listened for the sound of fighting. Once I heard it, I shouted, "Go!"
Chu'nyan rushed through the doors and held up the mirror. "Everybody, wake up!!!" she yelled. A strong, bright light shone from the mirror and enveloped everyone in it. When it stopped, the dozens of men who had been under a spell were free. "This mirror breaks any spells cast over people. It was one of my mother's hijutsu tools," she said strongly as she stepped forward.
"Chu'nyan!" Mokona cried out our names, "Yuki and Sakura too!"
"My power is still too weak to cast any strong spells, but… as long as I have this mirror, you won't be able to touch the people of this town again!"
The Ryan Ban, who was much more frightening in person, cursed.
"Hu~h?" a familiar voice said. It was Fai. "There seem to be a lot of people here." He was standing in the doorway along with Kurogane.
"You two are late!!!" Mokona said angrily as she head butted Kurogane, who merely told her, "Shaddup!"
"Sorry, we had a lot to deal with," Fai explained.
I ran over to them, nearly tripping on my long robes. "Are you okay?!" I asked. They were covered in burns from head to toe. It had to be from Kiishimu's acid-water.
"Yeah, we're fine," Fai said, "You tried to warn me about the water this morning. Thank you." Then he raised his hand to ruffle my hair, but I stopped him. I held his large, burnt hand in my small, unharmed ones. All of a sudden, I felt tears come to my eyes. "What's wrong, Yuki-chan?" he asked as he kneeled down in front of me.
"I-I couldn't help you guys at all!" I gripped Fai's injured hand, aware of the tears falling on it. "I'm so useless!" Then I felt another large hand on my head.
"Don't worry about it," Kurogane said, ruffling my hair. I could only stand there and try to hold back my tears. Fai pulled my close, turned me around, and told me to watch. He was referring to the scene that was unfolding in front of us. Ryan Ban was at Syaoran's mercy, shrieking, claiming that if he were to get hurt or die, he wouldn't be able to bring Chu'nyan's mother back. Chu'nyan, who had heard that, began to shriek also.
"You were the one who killed her!!! The person who tried to protect this village! My mother!!! Even so, my mother told me!! No matter how strong you are, you can't bring anyone back from the dead!!!" Tears were pouring from Chu'nyan's eyes and running down her face. "NO MATTER HOW MUCH I WANT TO SEE MY MOTHER!!!! Even then!! You say that kind of thing!!!" It took everything for Sakura to hold her still.
"Chu'nyan," Syaoran said softly, "do you want to hit him?" The girl froze. "If you want to, then go ahead. But… is he worth it, Chu'nyan?" She swallowed and gri her teeth. Then she answered him.
"He's definitely not worth it!" she declared.
Syaoran slowly approached Ryan Ban, who begged, "D-don't touch me!! Don't come any closer!!!" Suddenly an elegant hand, with fingernails as long as my forearm, wrapped its fingers around the Ryan Ban's face.
"Stop right there." It was the owner of that hand, Kiishimu. "How dare you trap me in this castle," she told him. Then she slowly pulled him up into the air and spoke to the rest of us, "I will take this village master. He needs to die a slow, painful death." The Ryan Ban struggled, but could not get free. The bottom of Kiishimu's robes turned into an ominous portal. Just before she dragged her prisoner into it, she spoke to Chu'nyan. She told her good things about her mother, and how she would look forward to the day she would get to fight with her daughter. "Grow strong," she said, "so that we may fight with our hijutsu one day."
"I will," Chu'nyan promised.
Kiishimu smiled and continued to pull Ryan Ban into her portal. Her last words were: "Fare well, my adorable parasites." When the two had disappeared, Syaoran retrieved the feather and gave it back to Sakura, who floated in the air as she absorbed it.
A moment later, she asked, "Why? There's no one there…" And then she slowly began to fall to the ground, asleep. Syaoran caught her.
Fai stood up behind me and we walked toward the two. Kurogane and Mokona followed closely behind. "Looks like we got one more feather," Fai said.
All of us slowly walked back to Chu'nyan's house. Syaoran carried Sakura the whole time. The men who the Ryan Ban cast a spell over also went home to their families. The first question I asked Chu'nyan when we returned was: "Do you have any medicine for them?" She nodded and ran to get some. I set out a futon for Sakura. Syaoran laid her down in it. I instructed the three boys to sit down. A few moments later, Chu'nyan arrived with a bottle of ointment and three small cloths. She poured some of the ointment onto each of the cloths and gave one to me and another to Mokona.
"Dab it on the wounds. And… sorry, it might sting a little," she warned. I worked on Kurogane, Chu'nyan on Fai, and Mokona on Syaoran. Every now and then, Kurogane would wince and I would apologize softly. After a little while, Sakura woke up and helped Mokona with Syaoran. When we were done, it was about lunch time. So we ate food from the basket. Afterwards, we changed back into our regular clothes, the clothes from our own world (although mine was technically from Yuuko's world).
Chu'nyan walked us to the outskirts of the village. She thanked Syaoran for defeating the Ryan Ban.
"I-I didn't really do anything…" Syaoran stammered.
"Unless the spell on that castle was broken, the Ryan Ban would have remained in power. So it's thanks to you guys, Syaoran!"
"No, I… really didn't…"
"We should be thanking you too!" Fai said, "The medicine Chu'nyan-chan gave us really worked!" He waved his arms around to prove his point.
Chu'nyan smiled, "That was medicine my mother made. I can't make it yet, but I'm going to work hard and be a Shin Ban even she can't compare to!"
Sakura grasped Chu'nyan's hands. "You will," she said, "I'm sure of it."
"Yeah," Chu'nyan responded. Her eyes were wet and there were tears welling up in the corners, tears of joy.
Suddenly, Mokona's wings appeared.
"Ah! Is it time to go?" Fai asked.
"Uh-huh!" Mokona replied. Chu'nyan was confused.
"But you guys just came here!" she cried as the five of us took our place near Mokona. Fai and I waved good-bye while Kurogane just stood there.
"There's something we have to do," Syaoran said, "Fare well." And then we disappeared, moving onto the next world.
Thank you for reading this chapter! The next world is the country of the Misty Lake. See you then!
