There are several different forms of being imprisoned. Whether it's being locked away in a jail or being held down by something as simple as a debt it's all the same basic idea.

In most stories there is always a probably generally revolving around this idea of being held against ones will. Somewhere everything ends up alright in the end with a fairy tale ending….

Imprisonment – noun

putting someone in prison or in jail as lawful punishment

the state of being imprisoned

the act of confining someone in a prison (or as if in a prison)

Fairy Tale – noun

A story, usually for children, about elves, hobgoblins, dragons, fairies, or other magical creatures.

an incredible or misleading statement, account, or belief

The two are normally linked hand in hand in some way at some point. Not every person always has a happy ending though…

"Kurogane-san?"

Kurogane had a splitting headache and something very cold was beneath him. Something cold, hard and uncomfortable was underneath him.

"If he sleeps any longer I think they'll take him away to be buried."

"Ashura-san…"

That made the grumpy male sit straight up, his eyes immediately falling on the tall dark haired male opposite him.

"What the hell happened?!" Kurogane yelled as loud which earned a few glances from the other nearby students.

"Intruders came and knocked us out." Ashura retorted concentrating on a group of girls nearby rather than the angry male behind him.

"Why did they do that then?!" Watanuki and Doumeki seemed to leap into action and pin the angry male down before he could commit a murder.

"It seems our head teacher has been holding out on us." Syaoran explained from where he was currently comforting a terrified Sakura.

"Seems he stole something from these people and they want it back."

"Yuuko, Clow and Tomoyo must be hiding somewhere…" Watanuki trailed off as he caught sight of Himawari.

"I better check on Himawari-chan."

Doumeki rolled his eyes slightly but followed the smaller teen over to a group of girls.

"You okay Fai?" Ashura was the one to notice the blond first. Kurogane glared at the other male.

"I-I'm…f-fine…" Fai attempted to smile weakly to hide the fact he was trembling violently.

"You're not so don't hide it." The grumpier male commented as the blond sat down beside him.

"…They want to send us back…I don't want to go back…" Fai muttered quietly as he leaned onto Kurogane's shoulder.

"I don't want to be hurt again…"

"I won't let them. I never break a promise." Kurogane looked over at Syaoran who nodded; silently agreeing to protect everyone if the time came.

There gym doors opened as a few masked guards in a strange uniform stepped into the room holding large poles to push back the students near the doors. The head teacher along with another person stepped into the wide room.

Silence fell amongst the groups as Tomoyo, Yuuko and Clow emerged and joined the rest of their class mates.

"Today we regretfully must send several people away." The head teacher started although there was no sign of regret in his face.

Fai tried to bury his face into Kurogane's chest as he sobbed quietly about not wanting to go back.

"There will be no room for discussion. All of this is final." The head teacher gave a stern glare around the room to prove his point.

"If you're picked out you must leave. Never come back. You will leave in the morning"

The masked guards started to move around the room scanning it for various people. They gradually were growing closer and closer to the back end of the gym.

"You'll make yourself sick if you keep this up…" Kurogane muttered as he tried to sooth the weeping blond who was now hiccupping in between sobs.

"I don't want to go back…its torture! They torture us!" Fai looked up without his usual smile, now with tears drawing patterns across his pale features.

"Torture?" Kurogane glanced across at Ashura who confirmed the idea with a sharp nod before being yanked out of his seat by the arms.

The guards looked carefully over Syaoran and Sakura before moving on, leaving them to sigh with relief.

Watanuki and Doumeki seemed to be clear as well since they were holding onto eachother with joy across their faces.

One of the guards glanced at the still crying blond and waved one of the guards over. The second person was carrying a folder which seemed to have pictures of certain students in it.

"I don't want you to get hurt…" Fai mumbled as he gripped onto Kurogane's shirt, "I don't want to go back though…"

"I told you I wouldn't let them." The taller male gently patted the smaller male's back which was still trembling in terror.

One of the guards muttered something before they both nodded and pulled Fai away by the back of his neck. Another guard kept Kurogane pinned to the ground stopping his attempts to fight back.

"Kurogane…if I have to go…please forget about me…forget me from your heart…" Fai let his head drop as the new tears started to fall.

The students were practically dragged out; most crying and screaming a few were trying to fight their way out. The head teacher and the other old man turned and followed the group that were leaving.

Kurogane lept up at his first chance and stepped up to one of the climbing blocks. The students that weren't crying over lost friends looked up at him.

"Are you just going to sit there and let them get away?! We need to take action and get them away, show those old guys who's boss at this school!" Kurogane yelled a few students started muttering about how hopeless everything was which didn't seem very courageous.

"I agree!" Yuuko and Clow stood up which shocked a lot of people in the room, including Syaoran and Sakura who normally knew a lot about people.

"We do to!" Watanuki and Doumeki stepped forward along with a nervous looked Syaoran.

The rest of the students exchanged worried glances and frantic words about how dangerous it would be over people they had just met.

"If you lot want to sit here and cry then do that. I'm going to go get my idiot back." Kurogane jumped from the block and picked up on of the training swords that had been left out.
