After talking with Annette the gang had decided that the best way to search for the sweepers was if they split up. Kyoko had been more than eager to help. She showed them several photos of a guy (in each one he looked quite reluctant to be the centre of Kyoko's crazy obsession). He had brown spiky hair and golden eyes, much like one of Fay's eyes. The one he now kept covered by the black cloth.

Back in Nihon, while fighting with the clone, Syaoran had managed to copy Fay's stolen eye. So the resultant was that Fay had gotten his stolen magic back - in a way – and now he was part vampire part magician. Meaning Kurogane no longer needed to be his prey. This was, in a way, good news because now that Ashura was out of the way and Fay had come to terms with his past, Fay's magic was a thing in their favor as he no longer refused from using it.

Kurogane ended up with Mokona as he could not speak the language of this world. Fay, with his magic, on the other hand had no such problem but Kyoko insisted on accompanying him anyways. Syaoran could speak the language fairly well (he had learned through his other self while he journeyed to various countries with his father.) Annette had lent them all some money and clothes so that they no longer stuck out of the general crowd. They had agreed to meet back at the bar in the evening if they had no success in finding the Black Cat till then because sooner or later he was going to turn up there.

Syaoran wandered through the busy commercial area looking around for any signs of a green haired Sven Volfied or the spiky haired, Train Heartnet. No one paid any attention to the roving teenager but as soon as he turned a corner Syaoran found himself staring at the nozzle of a very dangerous looking gun. It had a strange XIII marking engraved on its side; it was a roman numeral Syaoran remembered, the number thirteen. Looking up he saw himself staring into ferocious golden catlike eyes, the man before him had a similar symbol tattooed on his left collarbone.

'Where is princess?' he asked fiercely through clenched teeth.

"Princess?' Syaoran stared at him blankly. "He thinks I'm my other self." The realization struck him.

'I won't ask again.' Train said, 'where did you take her?'

'You've got it all wrong.' Syaoran said quickly, 'I'm not the one who kidnapped the girl.'

'oh yeah? So tell me was it some sort of clone who appeared last night?' Train growled as he cocked his gun.

Syaoran quickly glanced around. For a commercial area this corner sure was empty. Not one living soul in sight anywhere. He quickly clapped his hands to summon his sword because the man before him was not in mood of listening. Syaoran had to get back to the bar as soon as possible. Maybe Annette would still be there to vouch for him. As soon as he saw the sword emerge from the teen's hand, Train shot three bullets in quick succession. Syaoran dodged the first and deflected the other two using his sword.

'You have to listen,' Syaoran said, 'I'm not who you're looking for.'

'Like hell I'll listen to you.' Train yelled as he shot more bullets.

'Fuuka Shourai!' Syaoran yelled summoning a wind barrier to protect him from the oncoming bullets.

'KURO-SAMAAAAA WAIT!' Kyoko yelled as she ran towards the place where Train was busy shooting at the dimension travelling teen.

'Stay back Kyoko.' Train said urgently, fearing for her safety as he fired another bullet. 'Don't come here. It's not safe.'

'How about I help out Kyoko-chan?' an unfamiliar male voice spoke pleasantly. Train turned around to see a tall blond in denim jeans and a white shirt with a high collared long coat which looked a lot like the one Train used to wear during his eraser days. The blond raised his right hand and blue runes appeared in the air before him. He flicked his hand in Train's direction; the runes followed the movement of his hand forming some sort of blue colored barrier between the two fighters.

'What the…?' Train's eyes widened in surprise before they narrowed in anger as he shot at the blue shield now surrounding him. The bullets collided with the magical barrier and fell down harmlessly.

'Kuro-sama please stop!' Kyoko said waving her arms frantically, 'Syaoran-kun did not kidnap Eve-chan.'

'What are you… wait… how do you know Eve got kidnapped?' Train asked looking at the brown haired girl suspiciously. He had not told anyone else about Eve except for Annette.

'Annette-san told me when I went to the bar in the morning.' Kyoko replied.

'Kyoko this kid is the one who took her away.' Train said looking at the teenager with loathing eyes.

'Actually Train-kun,' the blond man smiled widely, 'it was his clone that kidnapped your friend.'

'Hai.' Kyoko nodded quickly, 'Yuuko-san said the same thing.'

'Yuuko? That weird friend of yours?' Train asked. 'When did you tell her?'

'I grew worried about Eve-chan too so I asked her for help.' Kyoko said looking at her feet, 'she said that the kidnappers have taken Eve-chan to another dimension.'

'Another dimension? Kyoko there are no other dimensions.' Train said in exasperation as he kicked the blue shield, immediately regretting his decision.

'If you put your gun away,' the blond said, still smiling, 'and promise not to attack us until we can explain the situation to you, I can let you out.'

Train looked him over with distrust before lowering his gun and placing it back in its holder. The blond grinned even more widely, if that was even possible and wrote something in the air once more, immediately the blue shield vanished. Train looked over at the teenager; his sword was disappearing into his hand.

'Who the heck are you guys?' Train said in frustration.

'Please come back to Annette-san's with us, Train-san.' The teenager said quietly. 'We'll explain everything over there.'

Okay so both these weirdoes knew his name; not that Train was surprised about it much. He was the legendary Black Cat, who wouldn't know about him? But that didn't change the fact that he still did not know who these strangers accompanying Kyoko were.

'Who are you guys?' Train asked once more as he started walking with them towards the infamous Sweeper bar.

'We are travel various dimensions using something that Yuuko-san gave us,' Fay replied, 'we will explain everything else once we get back to the bar.'
