The others

"So, Manju bun, can you feel anything?" "Mokona is Mokona! And theres a really strong presence here!" A rabbit like creature replied. "So one of Sakura's feathers might be here," the real Syaoran asked. "Yup!" The creature replied. "I wonder how he's doing," Sakura asked. Everyone looked at her, all knowing who she was talking about. "Mokona, could you contact the witch when we get to some shelter?" A blonde wizard named Fai asked (well he was actually called Yuui, but everyone was used to calling him Fai.) "Okay!" The creature replied.

As they searched for a place to rest, the group consisting of Mokona, Syaoran, Sakura and a ninja named Kurogane, grasped on to their new surroundings. Flowers were everywhere, birds were singing and in the distance they could hear a waterfall. The grass was the same colour as Sakura's eyes and the sky looked like it was covered in sapphires. After a while, they came to a clearing. It was quite big, and the waterfall was in the middle. Actually, it was more a fountain than a waterfall. In the middle were two stone butterflies. "Pretty," Sakura whispered. As a ray of sunlight hit the butterflies, the earth seemed to shake. Sakura grabbed on to Syaoran for support which didn't help much. The ground opened and the group fell down a pitch black hole.

"Kuropuu, where are you?" "It's Kurogane!" "It's pitch black in here. Syaoran- kun?" "I'll try." The boy muttered some words and a small ball of light appeared in the palm of his hand which illuminated all of the ditch. "Sakura, close your eyes," the boy said. "O-okay," Sakura replied, obeying her best friend. The reason for this was that bodies were strewn everywhere . Mutilated in ways you couldn't imagine. This sight reminded Syaoran of Acid-Tokyo, the world where everything had changed.

They found a tunnel, and headed forward, Sakura clinging onto Syaoran(her eyes were still closed.) "Meyko!!" Mokona said, bouncing up and down. "Mokona, as feather?" Syaoran asked. "Yup. And it's real close... Oh, it's gone," Mokona said. "Wait a minute, it was really close, and now it's gone?" Syaoran asked. "Yeah," Mokona replied. "What's up with this world?" Kurogane asked

They reached the end of the tunnel and came out to a cliff, looking down on a town. The cliff was very steep and rocky, and it was reaching nightfall. "There's a cave over there. Why don't we sleep there tonight, and we can start on the cliff in the morning," Fai suggested, and they all agreed.

The cave was cold and damp. Seeing as it was starting to snow, Syaoran gave Sakura his cape. She looked at him. "Thank you, Syaoran," she said, pulling the cape around her. "Get some sleep, we have a hard day ahead of us," Fai said.

"Where am I?" Syaoran asked. Everything was just swirling around him, each swirl a dull colour. "Help," someone whispered. "Help," they repeated. Then came a scream. Syaoran followed it, and found his other kneeling on the ground, clutching his chest. "Syaoran!" He cried. "Help me. I can't fight him. Not anymore. Not by myself." The boy whimpered. He was younger than before, but otherwise, just the same. Syaoran couldn't watch this happen to the boy he had grown to care for. "Syaoran," Syaoran said, hugging the boy. "Why? Why didn't you kill me? Why couldn't you have set me free?" The boy whispered. "I'm sorry. Syao," Syaoran whispered. The boy trembled and then relaxed. "Help me," the boy whispered, before disappearing. "I will try. I promise I will try," Syaoran said.

Syaoran gasped as he woke up. "A...Dream?"
