A/N: (Hunter) This chapter was interesting to write :)

A/N: (Prey) Hola Aloha! Thanks for all of the reviews from the last chapter we loved them and make sure to send more! So, this chapter could have gone two ways, it was actually pretty hard to write, I'm not good with confrontations and stuff. Ha you guys have no idea how many times this chapter was changed. So here we go, chapter 7!


We Own Nothing (cept for the story twists, made up characters, ect.)


Chapter 7: Things Better Left Unsaid

"Fai! Stop!"

Fai's claws slowly retracted back to their normal state.

Kurogane was keeled over in front of Fai, his hands over four deep cuts that stretched from his chest to his stomach.

Fai turned around and saw Syaoran and Sakura running toward him.

"Fai! Stop!" Syaoran screamed again.

Slowly, Fai's eyes returned to their normal hue and he turned back to the ninja.

"What have I…? Kurogane."

"FAI!"

He toppled over unconscious.


Syaoran stared at Kurogane.

They were in Kaorucha's house, inside the bedroom that Fai and Kurogane had shared.

Kurogane was on the bed and Fai had been moved to the living room couch by Sakura's request.

She's probably right, though. thought Syaoran.

Syaoran turned around when the door opened, revealing Kaorucha with a basin of water and a cloth.

She hurried over to Kurogane and, after soaking the cloth in the water, put it on his forehead.

"You said that a wild animal attacked him, correct?"

Syaoran nodded.

"The poor dear. I'm going to be putting some salve on his wounds, you're friends are in the living room with Dixis." Seeing this as an exit point, Syaoran said thank you and went to see Fai.

Sakura was sitting on a chair beside the couch with Mokona in her hands.

Syaoran looked over to Fai, he looked like he was having a bad dream.

Sakura noticed Syaoran, and quickly pulled up another wooden chair for Syaoran.

"How is Kurogane-san?"

"Kaorucha said that the cuts were deep, but he'll heal."

"That's good."

She turned back to Fai. "I wish we hadn't seen it."

"What?"

"The trial, everything."

Sakura brought her head up to Syaoran.

"Syaoran-kun, do you think that this may be just one of those worlds where it's the same face but different soul?"

Syaoran was lost for words, but Mokona hopped onto the couch arm rest and answered. "Fai was very sad in his heart when we came to this world. This is a world Fai is very familiar with!"

"Does that mean we traveled back in time?"

Mokona nodded. "Fai is feeling very confused right now. And scared."

Sakura rested her elbows on her knees and her chin on her palms, staring at Fai. "I wish I knew what he was dreaming about, maybe then I might understand a little more."

Mokona smiled. "Secret technique number one hundred three of Mokona Modoki, Sneaking Into Other People's Dreams!"

Sakura looked at it in disbelief, Syaoran looked scared of the little white fluff ball.

"You mean you can go into anyone's dreams at any time?" He asked.

"Yup! You should see the dreams Kurosa has!"

Syaoran and Sakura sweatdropped.

"Do you randomly go into other people's dreams often, Mokona?"

"Only when there's nothing else to do, which is almost never with Kurosaka around! But he's not around right now, so let's go!" Mokona opened it's mouth and swallowed up the confused Sakura and Syaoran with a "Aah-puu!"

The two arrived in a haze.

"Mokona, you shouldn't have-"

"Everything's okay! Mokona hasn't taken you out of the world and Sakura said-"

"But I didn't mean it Mokochan! Dreams shouldn't be eavesdropped on, what if Fai sees us?"

"Don't you have super sneaky hiding skills like Mokona?"

The two sweatdropped again and shook their heads.

"Oh. Then Mokona suggests that we should stay out of Fai's way!"

"But Mokona-"

The two stopped when they heard screaming.

Mokona jumped onto Syaoran's shoulder.

A scene seemed to fly up to them, a tower inside a pit, and inside the pit were hundreds of dead people.

Sakura moved closer to Syaoran.

The scene zoomed in and they saw a small boy amongst all the dead people. He looked exactly like Fai, except that he was not wearing smile, not even a fake one.

Wind howled, and the scene changed to where they weren't looking inside the pit, but they were in the pit.

Syaoran and Sakura's eyes were directed to the same boy, but he was now climbing the pit. Sakura gasped but couldn't move when she saw him fall, only to get up a few minutes later.

The boy spoke, oblivious that there were other people there. "We're getting out of here! If I can get out, I can use magic! And when we get bigger, our magic might even be better than the Sovereign's. Then we can go to some other country!"

He climbed again, more faster and determined, but didn't even get close to the top when he fell again.

The scene changed, the boy was still there, he looked the same age, so why was his hair past his shoulders?

Out of nowhere many people dropped from the sky, all dead.

The boy looked confused as he approached one of the dead.

"Even so small a child… what happened to our country?"

He looked up and gazed at the tower. "Fai can't get out of the tower… But I'm here, and I can use the wall to get me out, then him! We can get out! I need to know what happened to Valeria!"

He climbed again, but the blood from his hands and feet made the wall even more slippery, and he fell onto the pile of dead bodies.

The scene changed once again, the boy was staring into the eyes of the Sovereign, backing up against the wall in fear.

They heard a voice from the top of the tower, "Yuui!"

"… It's all… a calamity that… you brought! The birth of you two was… the start of all sorrow!"

"…Now… the only ones left in the country who breathe… are you two and me… and… this is where it all ends!" The Sovereign pulled out a sword.

Yuui had a voiceless scream on his face, but the screams finally came when the Sovereign stabbed himself in the chest. "The only ones in the country who still draw breath… are the two of you! O, Unhappy Twins… Live… and attempt to attone for your guilt." The Sovereign dropped dead, everything was silent, even the wind was silent, but then Yuui broke.

A scream pierced the air like a knife, and it didn't stop.

Yuui finally stopped screaming, but his eyes were wild, still fixed on the dead Soveriegn. "Is it guilt… just to be born? As twins… we were just born together! We were born, that's all!"

Yuui stared at the dead Sovereign. "Would the same thing happen even if we went to a different country? Would people we don't even know… die because of us? Only because the two of us are together? Just because we exist?"

Yuui put his hands to the ground, kneading it in confusion and rage. "Will it happen again? Will everyone die? Just… JUST BECAUSE WE LIVE?"

The wind howled, and the scene changed. Yuui was now lying on the snow, looking dead, and maybe wishing that he was dead.

A voice came out from nowhere. "Yuui…"

Yuui brought his head up.

"Do you want to leave this place?"

"…Am I… dreaming again?"

"This is no dream." It looked like someone had sliced open air. A man appeared. "It is reality!"

"This… can't be happening. Nobody can come here… nobody but the dead!"

"That was a decision made by your country."

"But… even if we go to a different country… we're twins…"

"That decision was made by your world."

Yuui looked up in confusion.

"There are other worlds… Magic does not work in this Valley. However, my body is in a different dimension, a different world… and so that has no effect on me. Do you want to leave this place?"

"I want to leave. If there are other worlds, then… I want to leave. And I want somebody to…"

"I can grant your wish. But... You must choose! Between you and the other one!"

"… Then free Yuui".

The scene changed, Yuui was now staring at his dead brother, the one that he had killed… murdered.

"You have made your choice. And this was the result! This life was snuffed out on that choice. You must take the responsibility of it onto yourself. That is… you curse!"

Yuui looked at his brother in disbelief. "Fai…"

"Do you want to do it over? Change the choice? Would you like to return… back in time?"

"Go back in time…? Nobody can do that!"

"Postulate that one could… would you do it? Assume that there was a method to bring the dead back to life, would you do it?"

"Bring Fai… back…?"

"To accomplish that… there is something you must do for me."

"What… do I…?"

"Very soon you will be able to leave… but someday, for a particular reason, you will travel to many varied places…"

The scene seemed to go mute, then continued. "You will go on a long journey. On this journey, you will visit many worlds. You will travel with a desert princess, and an image I have prepared...You will be trumping moves of my plan."

The scene changed again.

"There will be one other who will be set on the journey… But the Witch got to him first." "Witch?"

… "If for any reason… that child from the country of Japan, that pawn of the Witches, gets in the way, then he too…" "I have to kill him?" "What is this? Someone who made a decision responsible for the murder of his very own twin… is now squeamish about killing a complete stranger?"

Once again the scene changed, Fai was slashing Kurogane in the castle, and then the scene repeated itself for what seemed like forever.

The dream became very hazy and Syaoran, Sakura, and Mokona found themselves back in the living room with Fai opening his eyes.

Syaoran looked at Sakura, her face was white and she had tears streaming down her face, he felt tears in his eyes too.


Fai woke up from his nightmare, and saw Sakura, Syaoran, and Mokona beside him.

He smiled.

Syaoran glared at him, a glare worthy of Kurogane.

Fai stopped smiling.

Then he noticed Sakura's tear-filled eyes. Had he really hurt them that much by wounding Kurogane?

Then he remembered everything that had happened in the castle.

"I'm sorry… I lost control." A horrifying image came to his head. "Is Kurogane…"

Syaoran managed to speak. "He's alright."

Fai sat up, he noticed that he still had his coat and hood on.


Syaoran couldn't get the image out of his head, it was too horrible.

"Ahh!" His eyes widened right before he blacked out.

He was staring at himself. It felt like he was staring through a mirror, as if all he was seeing was a reflection of himself… and yet…

"You will travel with a desert princess, and an image I have prepared."

A great throbbing pain came to his right eye.

"-and an image I have prepared."

The other Syaoran reached his hand out for Syaoran to take.

He grabbed it.

The throbbing pain came in huge waves now, each wave with a memory that was forgotten.

He saw himself, he saw himself quickly pulling the eye out and giving it to… him.

He was walking along the street, people were giving him a wide birth. His reflection in the puddles showed him with bandages.

"Syaoran."

"-and an image I have prepared."

Syaoran gasped, his other had let go of his hand, and now he was spinning.

Syaoran woke up on the floor. He saw Fai, Sakura, and Mokona looking down at him.

"Syaoran-kun, is everything all right? You fell off your chair!"

"I'm fine, princess."

He looked at Fai.

He didn't know what the dream meant, but he felt like it was important.


Fai lied back down onto his couch, feeling lightheaded.

I have to do it.

He looked out the window, it was dark outside.

Fai watched as Syaoran went back to Kurogane's room to check on him, and also watched as Sakura and Mokona eventually fell asleep beside him.

He waited for about ten minutes, then quietly got up.

Fai walked to the door, looking back to make sure no one was watching.

He opened the front door, and swiftly glided outside.
