Summary: Fai's a vampire and Kurogane's a werewolf living together in the city when someone starts following them and starts a chain reaction of events.


Fei Wang dodged the strike bobbing and weaving. He struck out with his good hand, sending blasts of magic at Fai. He wouldn't fail, the boy had gotten a lucky shot, but he wouldn't lose, not when he was so close.

"Fai!" Kurogane shouted as one particular blast was very strong and it caused a flesh wound in his left arm. He keeled down in pain. The blast rush to the vampire; too fast to dodge. Fei smirked. Now he'll have the other half.

"I think that's enough of that." A blast of blue with the first one; cancelling it and exploding before it came too close to Fai.

Yuui stood still dirty and covered in blood. He was slouched and breathing hard, but he was standing. I won't let you hurt brother or anyone else. Fei Reed gritted his teeth cursing both of them. "I'm so close now! I won't let you brats take it away!"

Kurogane was breathing deeply. He can see Yuui and his body glowing bright blue. He wondered if it was that great phoenix inside of him. Suddenly he felt something in him. It was awake. His head hung low as his eyes started to glow the brightest red it has ever been. He then screamed as his body glowed red and black dragon wings sprouted out of his back.

The screaming stopped as the werewolf stood up, wings and all. He opened his eyes and they were glowing red. His mouth was formed into a twisted grin. It's about damn time that I woke up. Those words came out of Kurogane's mouth but it wasn't his voice. And I thought it'll be boring.

Ioryogi looked over. Of all the things he had seen, this had to be the strangest. "Don't just stand there, do something!" He barked as he jumped over a demon. Fai took a second to stare as well, surprised more than anything. Don't tell me what to do, spirit king. It snarled before lines of bright red swirled around his arms; creating dragon claws. Grinning darkly it charged at the demon master with the wings gaining speed.

"I'll steal your power as well beast!" Fei Wang shot a blast of thick black tendrils out towards Kurogane. He'd strip that fragment of the dragon from the man and then finish him off.

Yuui's eyes glowed again as the demon master was trying to fight his godly lover off. He may be just one half but the Phoenix and the dragon had been as one for many centuries. The body glowed before bright blue wings sprouted out of his back; the blue swirled went around the arms and legs before charging with the dragon.

Fai's chest ached as he stumbled forward and cried out. It burned deep within him before radiating out and engulfing himself. Gritting his teeth he left headed towards Reed as well.

As the fight was going on, back at the shop; Watanuki was just around the front door when he suddenly saw something with bright white eyes. He yelped as he fell down in shock. What the hell?

Yuuko stepped forward past him as he landed on his ass. She stared start on unalarmed. "I was wondering when you would come. It's been a long time."

The door opened gently to reveal...Sakura? Watanuki sat up with a confused look. "Wait, that's Sakura." He pointed to the young girl. "But shouldn't she be at home, protected." With a gentle smile, it stepped into the shop.

"It has been a long time, dear friend." The bright white eyes landed on Watanuki. "And who is this young gifted man?"

"My employee. he makes wonderful cakes." She stepped aside and extended a hand to gesture her guest inside. "There's a bit of a commotion outside it seems and to see you here means the three of you are finally awake."

"Nothing can past you." It giggled softly. "It has been a bit of a hassle, sleeping and waiting. But you of all people know that it would only be a matter of time." Smiling at Watanuki, it then turned around. "Come on in, young man. It's dangerous to be outside."

Watanuki was even more confused when behind the not-Sakura was Syaoran; his sword at his waist. He blinked. "Okay, I'm lost."

"Sakura has within her a small part of a spirit. A god if you will. They were waiting for Reed to make his move." She explained smiling. "Why don't you grab up some of your teacakes?"

"...F-Fine." Watanuki quickly stood and bowed to the not-Sakura. "Pleasure to meet you." He then turned away to grab some teacakes.

It giggled again. "What a fine young man; the one who can see what no one else can." It then turned to Syaoran. "And you, I admire your bravery and determination. This young girl is happy to have a human like you."

Syaoran had tagged along, thinking something terrible was happening to Sakura and had wanted to defend her. "I...thank you." He blushed and bowed as well.

The not-Sakura smiled gently. "And polite as well. A rare human being..." The smile faded a bit. "But I can't help but feel responsible for your twin's physical state."

Watanuki came back with a tray of tea and tea cakes but waited by the doorway as he listened in.

"We, the goddess, the phoenix and the dragon. We owe you all involved more than you would think. If there was any way, we would have taken down the man ourselves...but we had no solid form and when he took us down one by one, we had to resort to desperate measures. But thank you for helping us nonetheless."

"It was quiet impressive to see the three of you before me all those years ago." Yuuko grinned. "But with Fei Wang looming we had to act fast." She motioned for Watanuki to come in. "And you know what we did? We took a part of each of them and put them out into the world to be born again in whatever they so chose, to heal and regain their strength."

"For example," The not-Sakura added as Watanuki walked in. "There was a clan of magic users who had a small bits of me. When the battle happened; in a last ditched effort; they pieced me together and send it into this particular girl's ancestor." It shrugged. "For the dragon, the brute, chose a very specific wolf clan and took over a family it thought was the strongest; the Suwas. And the Phoenix...it was a rush job but I think it made a smart choice."

"It was broken into two, but a powerful and ancient vampire promised to take him into his clan. Eventually our dear twins, Kurogane, and Sakura-chan were born." She clapped happily.

"...That...sounds like a...complicated process." Watanuki stated as he started serving everyone tea.

"It was, but Reed had to be stopped and it had to be a secret." She winked and held a finger up to her lips. "It was delicate."

Making a face, Watanuki nodded. "Right." He placed a small plate of teacakes to the not-Sakura. "Here you go. I hope you like it."

"Thank you very much." It took one of them and bit into it. "Hm...this is very delicious. Granted I have no need to eat like most beings but this is something." It smiled.

"Isn't it though?" Yuuko grinned. "But now I'm sure you didn't come here just to chit-chat."

"You haven't changed at all." It smiled. "Well, I think this man's ruthless and childish means of power-taking has gone long enough. But I'm afraid that I can't do much. Unlike the other two, if I use my powers, it might overwhelm the young girl's body, even with her great but dormant magic within her."

"That is a problem." Yuuko inclined her head to the side. "But his barrier is waning, which means he's weakened. A small push would send it over the edge."

"That's true but this girl's body is more fragile than anyone else. There is a possibility that she may be injured in the process." It frowned.

Holding the tea tray, Watanuki looked at the two beings. "Well...I think...I think I have an idea."

Syaoran hadn't liked the sound of it, but he hoped Watanuki knew what to do.

"And what's that Watanuki?" Yuuko's eyes narrowed as she gave him a small smile.

Feeling a bit nervous now, Watanuki gulped. "Well, if too much power is the problem and if a blast might do more bad then good..." He looked away. "Well, the madam can just harness her power on an object. When there's enough power, we can just..." He pointed up. "Shoot it up into the air and hope that barrier cracks."

"Why a cook, looks, and a brain? Doumeki best watch out." Yuuko smiled bright. "What do you say?" She turned looking at the spirit.

Watanuki blushed brightly as he grumbled something inaudible as he looked away.

Covering the mouth to hide the smile, it nodded. "I think it's a splendid idea." She then looked around. "But is there an object that can withstand going up into the air?"

"I think I have a few." She grinned and stood up.

The not-Sakura then looked towards Syaoran. "I may be an immortal being but I'm not void of emotions. I know how much this young girl means to you. And I know that she feels the same for you." It smiled.

Syaoran made a choking sound, his entire face red as he felt like he was having a heart attack. "I-I..."

Watanuki blushed as well just as his employer swept in.

"It's okay." It reached out and patted the human on the shoulder. "I have learned that knowing the heart is not easy to admit to the one it was given to. But if I were you, I'd make a choice soon. Nothing lasts forever. Isn't that right, my dear friend?" It turned to Yuuko with a sad smile.

"No, sadly not. Everything comes and goes."

The god nodded. "It does."

She produced an arrow and Watanuki blinked dumbfounded. "What did you expect? Someone glowing and cool looking?" Yuuko teased. "Go and get Doumeki."

"..." Watanuki blinked in disbelief before scoffing as he started moving away. "Hey Doumeki! Get down here!"

As the young man was walking out of the room, the god almost burst out laughing. "He's an odd one, isn't he?"

"You have no idea." Yuuko laughed as well. "It's good though, refreshing really."

"Oh yes, such a rare person to see after so many centuries." The God agreed. It then stood up. "Well, while that young man get that Doumeki fellow, I think we should get a move on." She looked at Yuuko.

"This place is in another dimension, locked away from this world. No time has passed since your arrival." Yuuko stood as well as the boys came in. "Here you are Doumeki. I need you to take this outside and shoot it upwards towards the sky."

"Oh, yes. My mistake." The god nodded. "Being sleepy inside of this girl might have...what's the word that humans used? Messed up. It may have messed up my own mind a bit." It smiled.

Watanuki crossed his arms as Doumeki took the arrow. Great, just what he needed.

Outside in the small plot of land Yuuko's store was on they waited around as Doumeki notched the arrow in his bow. Without a word he drew it back and lifted his bow upwards before shooting the arrow up. The whole groups watched as the arrow went up into the sky. There was a few seconds of silence before a sound of a thwack was heard and soon enough...there was a cracking sound. It was deep and reaching like the sound of an old tree snapping.

The god smiled. "Won't be long now..."

Watanuki looked up to see the barrier shatter and dissolve into thin air. He looked back to Yuuko worried. "Does this mean that man is dead now?" Doumeki lowered his bow, unable to see what had happened. "No, but he will be shortly I believe."

Smiling a bit more evilly, the god went over and took Syaoran's hand. "Come now, I think your brother might be at his limit what with his injury. After all the battle's only half over."

"R-right." He tried not to blush, knowing this wasn't really Sakura.
