At what seemed like forever the water became lighter. "Is it just me or is it getting lighter?" asked Haruna. "It is," said Rin. "I take it that your kingdom has electricity," said Koji. "We have to keep up with the times that is another reason that we send people to the surface," said Rin. "So your kingdom has all the necessities of the rest of the realm?" asked Eriol. Rin nodded. "Cool I get to check out all of the fashions of the Kingdom of Mira," said Tomoyo. Melin sweat dropped. "Tomoyo we have to find a way to free the people from the powers of the crystal," she said. "Then can we check out the fashions?" asked Haruna. "You to are more like twins then Clow Reed said," said Jakita. Kimari nodded in agreement. "We're getting close," said Sakura glancing at Syaoran's crystal. Everyone looked at the bright red crystal. "Come we have arrived," said Rin as they went around a mountain. Everyone gasped as they came nearer and nearer to a bright brilliant city covered in a magical bubble.
On with chapter 19
"Wow," everyone exclaimed. "Welcome to my Kingdom," said Rin as he landed on the see bottom. The group followed him still swimming. They passed several men-at-arms on the way to the large gate that led into the bubble. "This place is amazing," said Sakura. "Thank you," said Rin looking at the younger girl intently. "How many people live here?" asked Kimari coming to swim right next to Sakura. Rin eyes widened a bit. Sakura and Kimari grinned. "We're sort of twins but not related," said Sakura. "You have a striking resemblance to each other and to my late wife," said Rin. Sakura and Kimari frowned. "Sorry," they said at the same time. "It is fine we had a happy life together I'll tell you more about her when we get inside," he said as they stepped into the gate. The gate was about a hundred feet tall and fifty feet wide. It connected to a tube then another gate the same size. "This is where the water gets drained out before the second gate opens," explained Rin. "You can change back when the water begins to reseed," he told them. They nodded. When the gate closed the water began to come down and they change back into their normal forms and clothes and held their breaths until the water was low enough for them to breath. When the water was all gone a fan system dried them off. "Cool a full body wash," said Jakita as the second gate opened.
The streets were cobbled and smooth. The people used horse and wagons to get around. The people were dressed comfortable and all of them looked happy. There was no sign of the poverty as in some other towns. "Please we have much a way to go," said Rin as she climbed into a large horse drawn wagon. The rest of the group piled in after him. They all commented on the ride to the palace asking questions and pointing out different things that they normally wouldn't get to see. Soon they were over shadowed by the castle towering high above them. They could only gap. "Welcome to Palace Mira," said Rin as they walked through the gates. "Father," yelled a man's voice followed by a woman yelling "Papa" as two people came into the foyer of the grand castle. Rin swept the girl into his arms and nodded to the young man before turning back to the group. "I would like to introduce you to my children. Princess Nari and Prince Ashton," he said. The group either bowed or curtsied. "My children I would like you to meet the Clow Chosen. Eriol Hirrzagawa his fiancée Tomoyo Daidouji. Simon Reign and his fiancée Jakita Yamani. Ling Chow and his fiancée Melin Li. Koji Watkins and his fiancée Haruna Meeks. Syaoran Li and his fiancée Sakura Kinomoto. Also Ryu Kaigaishii and his fiancée Kimari Airashii," he introduced them. The prince and princess bowed and curtsied as well. Then looked at Sakura and Kimari. "Sorry to look at you so intently but you look just like my mother," said Ashton. "You Majesty have pointed that out," Kimari said smiling. "But you sound so much like her," said Nari. Kimari blinked. "Weird," said Sakura and Kimari. "How about we tell you about her over dinner it is to late to search for the crystal tonight and I will tell you how I know about your quest," said Rin. The group nodded. "Ashton and Nari will take you to your rooms," he said. Everyone bowed or curtsied when he bowed before he turned to leave. "Well lets go get you settle before dinner," said Ashton as he and his sister lead the group down a hall from the foyer.
Everyone was shone to their rooms that they share with their fiancée and was told that they would be escorted down to dinner. Meanwhile they got a chance to relax. Sakura and Syaoran were laying out clothes they were going to wear to dinner. "Syaoran do you thing it is a bad that that I look so much like the old queen?" she asked. Syaoran who was also finding something to wear stopped. "I don't see how. Why?" he asked. Sakura just shook her head. Syaoran frowned and went to her. "Tell me Ying Fa what is it that is bothering you," he asked. "When I came into the castle I felt like sadness entered me," she said. Syaoran frowned even more. "I didn't feel any sadness from you," said Syaoran. Sakura smiled a sand smile. "That's because it wasn't me it came to me," she explained. "I have an idea since you think it has something to do with the late queen go take your bath and then go see Kimari to see if she felt anything," he suggested. He was rewarded with a bright smile and a kiss. "You are a genius my Little Wolf," she said as she raced to the bathroom to take her bath. Syaoran just smiled and returned to the task at hand. Soon Sakura came back out fresh and ready for dinner. She wore a white kimono with pink cherry blossom and small leaves floating around the material. She wore her hair in a half ponytail with the ends turned under held I place with a long green ribbon. She wore pink slippers on her feet. "I'll be back before they come get us for dinner Syaoran," she called as she swept her self past him. He quickly grabbed her arm and spun her into his arms and into a dip. "You look beautiful," he told her. She smiled up at him. "Thank you," she said. He smiled and kissed her. Lifting her back to her feet. "Maybe I can ask her later," she said softly. Syaoran laughed kissed her nose and went to the bathroom. "I'll get him for that one," Sakura vowed to herself before going out the door.
Sakura made her way down the hall to Kimari and Ryu's room and knocked on the door. "Who is it?" Ryu's voice came from the other side of the door. "It's Sakura," she said. "Oh," he said as he came to the door. "What can I do for you," he asked when she came in. "Actually I need to ask Kimari if she felt something when she entered the castle but if she is busy I'll ask before everyone goes to sleep," said Sakura. Ryu frowned. "If I'm not mistaken she said something about that before she went to take a bath she should be out any second now," he told her. As if she heard them Kimari came out the door in a white one shouldered dress it went to her ankles where it had a slit up to her knee. She wore white slippers with it. She had her hair curled. She and Sakura took on look at each other and smiled. "You look great," they chorused. Ryu shook his head and went into the bathroom. "So what brings you hear?" Kimari asked once they had sat down in the chairs on the balcony. "Well I was wondering if it bothered you that the King and his children think we look and sound so much like the late queen," said Sakura. Kimari immediately nodded her head. "It was like every time they mentioned it something sad would pass through me," said Kimari. Sakura nodded. "I thought it was just me," she said. Kimari shook her head. "No I felt it to but Ryu didn't seem to notice it so I brushed it off," she said. Sakura thought for a minute. "I'll come back after dinner before it's time to go to bed to see if you felt any different after he tells us about her," said Sakura standing. Kimari walked her to the door. "Ok," she said as she let the girl out. Sakura made her way to her room where Syaoran was leaving the bathroom. He was wearing a green button down shirt with a pair of black slacks. "Did you talk to Kimari?" he asked. "She said she felt it too. We're going to meet after dinner to see if there is any difference," she told him. He nodded and took her out unto the balcony. "This place is really beautiful it is bad that a crystal could destroy it all," he said. Sakura nodded and put her head on his shoulder. "Syaoran what do you think they are doing at home?" she asked. Syaoran shrugged slightly. "Who knows time might not even pass the same here as it does there," said Syaoran. Sakura looked up at him. "Do you think so?" she asked. "It's a possibility," he said. They were interrupted by a knock at the door. "Dinner," said Sakura as she raced to get the door. Syaoran smiled and followed. Out side was the rest of the group looking spiffy. Tomoyo wore slim lavender off the shoulder dress her hair down. Eriol wore a pair of black slacks a dark blue dress shirt and a black vest. Ling wore a pair of orange dress pants and a black dress shirt. Melin wore a red thick strapped dress with a slit up to her knees in the back. Her hair was in its traditional pigtails. Koji wore a pair of gray pants and a black button down shirt. Haruna wore a pastel green spaghetti strapped dress. Her hair was up in a ponytail. Simon wore a pair of tan pants with a black dress top under a tan vest. Jakita wore a three quarter sleeved dress with went to her knees. Her blond hair waving down her back. Ryu wore a pair of black pants and a black casual top under a white sports jacket. Sakura smiled. "Everyone looks great now let's get to dinner," she announced. The group laughed and followed the servant to the dinning room.
When they arrived the royal family had yet to arrive. They took their seats and waited. All of them were slightly nervous to be eating in the company of royalty when Melin broke the ice and told them that they had ate with Syaoran and he was practically royalty. Everyone laughed and relaxed. Then the servants opened the doors and everyone stood as the king, prince, and princess entered. The king was in a royal blue suit and carried his staff. The prince dressed in all white carried his royal scepter. The princess was bright in gold she also carried a scepter. The group bowed and curtsied before they sat after the royal family. "Where are your guardians?" asked Rin as the first course was set in front of everyone. "They tire easily when they are in their human or true form so they will sleep all night to recover their energy for the battle tomorrow," said Eriol. Rin nodded. "Do you know what crystal you are seeking?" he asked. Everyone nodded. "It is the Energy Crystal it responds to different energy different ways that is why it has been wreaking havoc sometimes and none other times," said Melin. "The crystal has been here all year and has only started doing great damage in the last few weeks," said Ashton. Everyone looked at each other. "That is because of how close we have been," said Sakura. "How did you know about the crystals and us?" asked Kimari. "The queen was a minor sorceress and fortune teller and she told us of your cause and coming," said Nari. "I'll tell you all about her," said the king as they continued to eat dinner through his story.
It turned out that Rin and the late queen, Sanitasha, were child hood friends and when it was time for Rin to marry they fought through the criticism and everything to try to be together. The former queen and king finally agreed when Sanitasha saved the queen from a fatal wound she got when she fell when they were riding one day. Everyone had laughed when they realized that the story sounded much like Sakura and Syaoran's. Rin and Sanitasha took the throne and raised their two children. Ashton was born first and Nari a year after. They had all lived happily until the beginning of the year when the queen had been using her magic in the valley when a boulder fell on her that was triggered by a strange earth tremor. She had died in her husband's arms leaving him her soul that he could use and remember her by. Rin had kept the soul in a locked box until he found a need for it. Ashton and Nari then began to tell stories of the late queen. Soon enough everyone retired to their rooms with the thoughts of the queen in mind. Sakura stopped in her room and went to the bathroom to change into her bed clothes. She wore a silk pink button down short sleeve top and a pair of silk green pajama bottom. She kept her slippers on for the moment and made her way across the hall. When Ryu opened the door he left. Sakura looked back then to Kimari.
"He wants to ask Eriol something or other," said Kimari dressed in her white nightgown. Sakura smiled
"I thought I had driven him out of the room," said Sakura. Kimari shook her head.
"He wouldn't leave until he knew I wouldn't be hear alone my brave Dragon," said Kimari sighing. Sakura smiled and turned to the business at hand.
"So did you feel anything different?" he asked stilling on the edge of the bed while Kimari finished brushing her hair. She finished and went to Sakura and silently asked permission to brush hers. Sakura nodded.
"No I didn't feel anything that much different," she answered. Sakura nodded slightly.
"The sadness was barely there though," she said putting her head down.
"I wasn't sure but I think it was too," said Kimari. Then the girl sighed.
"What's wrong Mari?" Sakura asked using her secret nickname for the other girl
"Nothing serious but B (a.n. from cherry blossoms she just uses B) I've always wanted a sister someone I could relate to easily. Haruna and Jakita are fine but they are like cousins. I can really relate to you as a sister," she told her. Sakura turned to her.
"I know it was weird for a while with just me, my brother, and father and no other female companionship until I met Tomoyo. Then when Melin found out Syaoran and I belonged together she became a friend as good as a cousin. Now I will have four older sisters and Melin will be my cousin but it's not like a sister that is the same age as me," said Sakura.
"I'll be your sister if you'll be mine," said Kimari. Sakura smiled.
"Pink swear?" she asked holding out her pinky. Kimari linked hers in it. Then someone knocked at the door. "Coming," they yelled at the same time knowing who was on the other side. They smiled and hugged each other before going to the door. It was Syaoran coming to get Sakura and Ryu looking for entrance to his room.
"Everything ok?" asked Syaoran taking Sakura's hand.
"The sadness isn't so intense now as it was earlier," said Kimari.
"Other then that everything is perfect," said Sakura. Ryu and Syaoran smiled and the two couples parted for the night. If they could feel the bond between the two young women they didn't say anything.
meanwhile with Tomoyo and Eriol
"Sakura and Kimari have realized the bond between them," said Eriol climbing into the bed. Tomoyo was doing the same on the other side.
"Do we all have bonds to our twin?" she asked quietly. Eriol looked to her. "I feel the want and need to be closer to someone but I don't want Sakura to feel like I'm betraying her as my best friend," she said. Eriol wrapped his arms around her.
"Do you feel betrayed by Sakura?" he asked. Tomoyo's eyes widened.
"Of course not I feel happy for her someone filled that spot that I couldn't reach," she said. Eriol smiled.
"Then I think we will all have a bond with someone else and it may not be our twin," said Eriol. Tomoyo smiled.
"That makes me feel much better," said Tomoyo. As they curled up and went to bed.
Soon everyone in the castle was in a peaceful rest and only the guards on watch stirred as well as the royal family who was meeting secretly in the royal library. Ashton arrived their and took a seat at the desk. Nari arrived soon after. The siblings waited patiently for their father who arrived before one a.m. Nari jumped on the chance to speak first.
"Father I would like Koji to be my husband," she said. Her father and brother looked at her. Ashton shrugged.
"I would appreciate to have the young woman Jakita to be my future wife," he said. Rin looked at both his children.
"I also would like two of there group but they are to powerful as they stand now we will wait until after they have captured the crystal then we shall seize your chosen as well as Sakura and Kimari and send the others from our kingdom by force," he explained. His children looked at him for an answer.
"I am going to bring your mother back to the land of the living using Sakura and Kimari's body and voice to harness her soul. I can put their bodies together with a transferring spell your mother had locked away then with the same spell I'll put her soul into the combined body," he explained. Ashton's eyes filled with wonder and Nari's filled with unshed tears from the chance of having her mother back.
"Mother will be back?" asked Ashton. Rin nodded.
"But we have to act like we have all today not different only a little excited on having the crystal captured and no more," said Rin. The siblings nodded before they spilt up and went to bed for the night.

meanwhile with Tomoyo and Eriol
"Sakura and Kimari have realized the bond between them," said Eriol climbing into the bed. Tomoyo was doing the same on the other side.
"Do we all have bonds to our twin?" she asked quietly. Eriol looked to her. "I feel the want and need to be closer to someone but I don't want Sakura to feel like I'm betraying her as my best friend," she said. Eriol wrapped his arms around her.
"Do you feel betrayed by Sakura?" he asked. Tomoyo's eyes widened.
"Of course not I feel happy for her someone filled that spot that I couldn't reach," she said. Eriol smiled.
"Then I think we will all have a bond with someone else and it may not be our twin," said Eriol. Tomoyo smiled.
"That makes me feel much better," said Tomoyo. As they curled up and went to bed.
Soon everyone in the castle was in a peaceful rest and only the guards on watch stirred as well as the royal family who was meeting secretly in the royal library. Ashton arrived their and took a seat at the desk. Nari arrived soon after. The siblings waited patiently for their father who arrived before one a.m. Nari jumped on the chance to speak first.
"Father I would like Koji to be my husband," she said. Her father and brother looked at her. Ashton shrugged.
"I would appreciate to have the young woman Jakita to be my future wife," he said. Rin looked at both his children.
"I also would like two of there group but they are to powerful as they stand now we will wait until after they have captured the crystal then we shall seize your chosen as well as Sakura and Kimari and send the others from our kingdom by force," he explained. His children looked at him for an answer.
"I am going to bring your mother back to the land of the living using Sakura and Kimari's body and voice to harness her soul. I can put their bodies together with a transferring spell your mother had locked away then with the same spell I'll put her soul into the combined body," he explained. Ashton's eyes filled with wonder and Nari's filled with unshed tears from the chance of having her mother back.
"Mother will be back?" asked Ashton. Rin nodded.
"But we have to act like we have all today not different only a little excited on having the crystal captured and no more," said Rin. The siblings nodded before they spilt up and went to bed for the night.
