Chapter Three:
Morning came; ShieRhea was the first one awake. She looked at the morning sky for a very long time wondering who she was and where she was. She sadly said, "I wish there was a moon."Moon, moon." Once upon a time, when mother was still young and embraced the small me - About the time when the moon was so far away - The factory released black smoke. The town was violent, This daughter wished to become bigger - When the daughter became thirteen years old, remembers the sense of taste stolen - In a black list, a name was left behind."
"Is that your voice it is very beautiful, but sad," Chronos asked, "What is the matter, Miss ShieRhea? Did I do something wrong?"
"No, just thinking," she replied, sighing at the sky. The feline on her lap stretched out, yawned, and looked at Chronos almost demanding to be fed immediately or face his wraith.
"Okay, Miss ShieRhea," Chronos nodded, "I will make breakfast."
"Whatever," she kept her eyes on the sky, "Moon.You are all-knowing - Moon.Maybe, you are everything - The things on the day of the first walk also - Saying "I hate Mondays". Everything in the heart - The completely shut daughter is - The day that first love fell - Can't keep the first thoughts, Flying from the house - Couldn't ever return - Broken completely in one moment, because it can be done - "It's important to exist," the young girl cried. Moon.You are all-knowing - Moon. Maybe, you are everything - The day of the first kiss also."
"Good morning, Miss Maylin. Good morning, Sphene." He paused to glance up wishing he could do something that would not make the song sound so sad, "Breakfast will be ready in a moment."
"Shouldn't we wake her?"
"No let her sleep, she likes to sleep in. I am used to it," Chronos then gave a haunting glance to the left then the right as if checking the stage for what he did next, he proceeded to drop a piece of china letting it shatter all over.
Aino woke up in a shot, "My store, my store! Burglars in my store!" She rubbed her eyes and was dissatisfied to find about ten inches away, Chronos's cheerful face, "Get away from me child!"
"Miss Sunblase is not a morning person."
"Could have fooled me," Sphene snorted.
As breakfast proceeded, Maylin advised remarking that she was born in the capital, "You should go there."
"How far away is it?"
"A couple miles across burning desert," her eyes fell onto the sword, "Though with Janni, I can make it in a day."
"Here it is," Chronos slipped it out of Sphene's possession and returned it, "A smile is best suited for you."
"Hohoho," she jumped to her feet pointing the blade, "I have got you..."
"Master Maylin!" The little four-inch genie appeared.
Maylin paused, "I can defeat you at any time I like. You are from another world, the world of Earth, I should help you."
"Great another kid," Aino said picking at her food, "Why don't I just start an orphanage and get it over with?"
"It is not that bad," ShieRhea smiled waving her pinky, "The string that can make teddy bears.tie roast beef.can do other things."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Ties that bind," the green-haired male gave a hunting look at the other woman with purple hair - the new addition with a feline purring in her lap.it was purring, on hearing the word string the cat looked about very interested in that game.
He looked long and hard at his new sword. Thoughts came of the beautiful one with the long silky black hair, his ninja princess. He had set it in his mind, "When next we meet. We will come to an understanding. And then one of us will die." A cutsy thing that looked like a very over-fed white rabbit with a red bindi hopped up saying, "It is time to go to the next world, Kurogane. The others are ready to."
"Leave me alone," he shouted letting his black hair flutter, "I will pay her back for curing me - cursed with the ability to feel the pain I inflict on others." He did not care about the others only if the portal opened would lead him back to his ninja princess.
"More tea," the first haired princess offered.
"Lemon? Milk? Sugar, Guru Clef?"
"I like mike with all of the above," a shadow said. Immediately the short light lavender-haired male with a horn stuck in the middle of his head had his attentions reaffixed. A scowl came.
Sitting like the March Hare the shadow fidgeted excitedly, "What is the problem, Clef? Huh?"
The second princess placed the cup into her asking cluelessily, "And you are? Are you friends with Mister Clef? He did say we might have guests for tea time."
"You might say we are old acquaintances, huh? We know each other through "a real pain", huh," the shadow said eagerly, "Unfortunately, our Hecate must send them elsewhere. You know it's really unlike him, that sly bugger really something up with something so cute.They are not getting home that easy."
"Excuse me," the first princess interrupted, "What is a hecate? Is it some type of tea cake?"
"Far from it."
"So true, huh? Hecate, "the shadow said with authority as if quoting a dictionary, "One of the three aspects of the Moon for the ancient Greeks and Romans the others being the Goddess Luna, the mother goddess; and the Goddess Artemis or Diana, the huntress and protector of young girls. Hecate is the Goddess over witchcraft and evil, dark acts in the night - including lycanthropy."
"What do you want, Far Northern Witch?" Clef demanded, "You do not do anything without a reason."
"Always to the point, that is what I like about you. I am like Recardo Montabon in Fantasy Island, who you know was the devil, huh?" She teased him, "Nothing happens by accident, this was fated. Fated they come. Fated that ShieRhea being a painting on a ceiling for decades being set free as a blank slate.taba rossa. this is so amusing.."
"Another wards, your amusement is your reason."
"You said it not me, huh? For like the other sisters, I provide a service, a service for whatever is most dear to you." Then in a twinkling she was gone.
"Sooo cool. This must because of supernatural occurrences! This is soo cool," they were cheerfully greeted by a woman in a page-boy cut and glasses in what seemed like an exact copy of Dupin's drawing room, if Edgar Allen Poe work of such things in The Murders of the Rue Morgue. A glance outside, there were gray little houses, carriages, and gas street-lights, and of course a typical mire of a fog.
They were briefly distracted by a woman dressed all in black who was standing next to the curtain, "This is so pointless. I don't know why I let you all live. It is all pointless, running about like little ants." She made an exit in her typical nihilist fashion as Fye asked, "Who was that?"
"Oh that's a friend.a real good honest mad scientist, would you believe it.she is using my basement for her experiments," her glasses shown in the gas lighting that illuminated the room, "She can do the Shonen Times crossword in three minutes and I think she might have cracked heavier than air flight." She clapped her hands together purposely standing in front of a painting of Fox Mulder looking though field glasses at Kamui, "No matter. This world is full of strange things - ghosts, dragons, UFO's, vampires, and mystery. I am Naoko, consulting detective, and you are?"
The one with lighter colored hair introduced himself, "I am Fye. Fay D. Flowright of Celes," he shook her hand, gestured to his right, "And this is Blackie."
"BLACKIE! I have a nome, god damn it! It's Kurogane!"
"I am Shaoran."
"Shaoran, Kurogane, and Fye," Nako repated the names letting stars appear in her glasses, "I - I have never met aliens before.how does that saying go.ah! "Take me to your leader."
"That would be me," up bounded into her arms the fat white rabbit with the red dot on its forehead, "Mokona."
She blinked several times tying to accept this claim. She then informed them in her way that her world, Shounen Del Ray, was a combination of every known Gothic horror, fantasy, and suspense novels - all set in one city location which somehow looked similar to 19th century London - sans Big Ben and the Tower. She offered them as seat and inquired to know everything about their worlds.
Kurogane in order to stop Fye calling him "Blackie" informed that he was once the student of the great bodyguard Suoh and served the most beautiful ninja princess in any world, Tomoyo. Fye on the other hand related something about a wintery kingdom where he lived with Chii.
"What exactly was Chii," Naoko inquired. Fye made several attempts to describe the cat-eared girl with resplendent white hair - there was much difficulty in this. He found it easier to digest the inner-working of the common lap-top computer, toaster, microwave, and clock radio. As for Shaoran it was evident for his reason of travel, the form he cradled in his arms - the first friend he ever had. This form was of a girl which was slightly shorter than he and had nice golden-brown hair. He placed her down into a chair next to him and said only her name, "Sakura."
"Is Satuski in," a male interrupted them, he glanced at a corner - the bike was not there. He seemed down-trod and left, "Tell her I was here, Naoko."
"Who was that?"
"One of the mad scientist's friends, Yuuto.they work together in my basement," she said omitting that sometimes their work sounding like it involved bow-whips, "At this moment this consulting detective is free to serve. Besides, this is soo much cooler than the werewolf I was hunting."
Supikun2001 again. I should apologize for very slow updates. I am a very busy college student so the updates are slow at the best. I do have other problems in my life - classes, studying, writing papers, job-searching for when I graduate, eating, and sleeping. As for my claim that the manga creating tem of CLAMP are goddesses - it is true, for IF I had their talent, I would not be a History Major, and this fan fiction would not exist. The biography that Shaoran gives in the previous chapter is basically the plot of CLAMP'S Tsubasa - Sakura's soul is scattered and left for dead, Shaoran, her best-friend would GIVE ANYTHING to bring her back. Also in Tusbasa, Arashi and Sorita are happily married. Well, Sorita is, but it is questionable if Arashi is. Even so, they do look so cute together in X/1999. As for Maylin? She was an anime creation to give her cousin a more lovable exterior. I have not read all of Tusbasa (translated on the web -ergo I am working on translations and rumors like the latest ones - where by Spring- Fall 2004 Tsubasa will be published in the United States and so will be the Card Captor Sakura Second Movie, the Sealed Card), so it is unlikely she would not appear in the Tsubasa manga. Though, I could be wrong. Even so, Maylin works for being from Chizeta (Rayearth), for Sakura and Shaoran in Tsubasa basically comes from what looks like an Arabic country. As for the other characters, fan-made, most are based on other CLAMP characters:
Chronos
Relationship with women - Aino or ShieRhea I am a proponent of the Kaho-Eroil relationship as per the Tomoyo-Eroil one, so finding the older woman-younger man thing cute, I maintained it. He would do ANYTHING for them including steal, violence, or mischief.
Smoking - Lucky 7 Brand The Sakuramori and Kamargi smoke in X/1999, Lucky Seven Brand - telling what happened in X, they were not that lucky. Stealing, violence, mischief I LIKE how mischievous Eroil is so, I based Chronos somewhat on him; however, I also liked the gentleman thief model of the masked bandit "Twenty Faces". Instead of magic, I made him a martial artist. As for the 14K Triads story, this sort of thing DOES happen in the unsavory parts of the world.
Looks-hair - green with black bangs I liked how Satsuki looked with her black hair and blonde bangs, so I opted for a color change. I don't know of any green-haired CLAMP characters, there may be on in Rayearth, so I opted for green as a change of pace.
Aino
Relationship with Chronos Complicated. Motherly; she could care less about him being very critical of his age, but a tad jealous if his attentions are elsewhere - he is "her investment." Besides angst-filled unrequited love is very typical in most anime and manga.
Looks - purple hair with butterfly hairclips No reason other than I already had an idea for a woman with purple hair that had butterflies in it - Lepidoptera is the genius for butterflies - so it worked. Plus it off-set with ShieRhea which is basically Rayearth Askua made long (about knee-length).so when or if Chronos falls for her, it will not be a far jump.however it will still have angst-filled unrequited loved goodness.
Sphene Needs work
Hecate Needs work

Aino woke up in a shot, "My store, my store! Burglars in my store!" She rubbed her eyes and was dissatisfied to find about ten inches away, Chronos's cheerful face, "Get away from me child!"
"Miss Sunblase is not a morning person."
"Could have fooled me," Sphene snorted.
As breakfast proceeded, Maylin advised remarking that she was born in the capital, "You should go there."

Maylin paused, "I can defeat you at any time I like. You are from another world, the world of Earth, I should help you."
"Great another kid," Aino said picking at her food, "Why don't I just start an orphanage and get it over with?"
"It is not that bad," ShieRhea smiled waving her pinky, "The string that can make teddy bears.tie roast beef.can do other things."
"What do you mean by that?"
