The sunlight streamed into the ancient castle. It was already noon, yet there were still two Sleeping Beauties lying on the beds of the guest room.
The beauty with short brown hair moaned slightly and stretched hey arms while half-opened her large crystal eyes.
'Where am I?' Sakura blurted out as she noticed the foreign surroundings and blinked viciously to ensure if it was a dream, but it wasn't. She hopped out of the bed with difficulty as if the force of gravity had increased by thousandth.
Then she heard something, something strange yet familiar, the sound was noisy yet peaceful, it was patterned yet irrigative. Sakura carefully turned her head to where the noise had come from. There she saw her best friend Tomoyo, was lying on the bed opposite of hers and 'snoring' soundly while she dribbled all over the white pillow.
'Tomoyo!' Sakura cried out with tears in her eyes. She ran to the bed and called her friend's name again and again to wake Tomoyo up.
'What what what! Can't you see I am having my beauty nap?' Tomoyo sat up suddenly, she snorted with frustration but then laid down again, 'Good night!' which left Sakura to sweat drop in the background.
'Tomoyo! Wake up! We're in trouble.' Sakura tried one more time, but still there was no use.
'Hey, you're awake!' A male's voice was heard from the entrance of the room, Sakura peeped with the corner of her eyes and she remembered him! He was the pervert who carried her to this… strange place!
'So you f-' Sakura interupted the man's speech, she rushed over to the man and held the man's shoulders with two hands while kicked the man right on the groin with her right knee and released her hands with triumph.
'Ow!' Syaoran immediately fell on the floor with pain written all over his now purpled face.
'Wha-e-ell-?' Syaoran glared at Sakura with confusion, he didn't understand the reason for her abnormal action!
'She has no idea how much it hurts' Syaoran cried mentally.
During the time, Tomoyo was disturbed by the two noisy love-birds. 'YAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH' Tomoyo yelled and blinked her grey eyes with exhaustion.
'Tomoyo!' Sakura rushed back to Tomoyo and was relieved to see her best friend was not hurt.
'Sakura.' Tomoyo smiled drowsily, 'Where are we?'
Sakura grabbed Tomoyo's hand and speeding towards the exit door, 'I don't know! But I don't anticipate knowing either!' Just when they thought they were out of there, a tall and wide shadow blocked them from escaping.
'Good afternoon, girls.' The sun slowly shone on the man and revealed a beautiful face, 'Where do you think you're going?'
'Eriol!' Sakura turned to the man on the ground, 'Help!' he cried.

Meanwhile, in Oceania…
Lights were now switched on as the natural source of lighting from above their barrier soon diminished. Everyone was closing their businesses on the city streets, office workers started to find their way home and night time businesses began to open up. As for the looming royal Kingdom far from the hustle and bustle of the first dome of city living society, lights were beaming of a golden hue and the King was attending a very urgent meeting…
"Your highness! Please calm yourself down!" called one of his representatives. A wave of murmuring and chatter began to rise as the King had just punched into the coral table. "How can I remain 'calm' when my sister and her friend has just disappeared out of no where?" he yelled.
Out of the doorway came Yue with five Angel Guards. Yue bowed swiftly, which his comrades followed suit.
"Report." Touya stated.
"We could not sense them within the three Oceanian domes, we have contacted several neighboring domes, and they are combing possible areas for them, your highness."
"Your highness, we shall leave you to talk with Sir Yue…" said a representative, bowing respectively and the table of the men quietly left the Angel Guards and King behind. The five other guards sat down at the table, all silent and their white eyes gazed at the hole on the other side of the table, which Touya had slammed his hand into. Yue took a seat, and so did Touya opposite him.
"My men and I also attacked the Daidouji's today, your highness" Yue said. Touya raised an eyebrow in response.
"They had fled soon after, we have now two other Angels in search for their next whereabouts… Their magic abilities have grown, sire, and where hard to even place a scratch on them." Said one of Yue's guards. Touya leaned back in his chair, placing his arms behind his head.
"That would be right, these Magicians… they're tricky ones.." King Touya said. "Report to me when you have found them again, and Yue, back to the topic of my sister, have you checked… the gate?" Touya asked.
Yue was taken by surprise. "The gate? You don't suppose they would.. would they?" Touya nodded. "You three guards! Ask the gatesmen and the gate itself for any suspicious information." King Touya ordered, as three of the guards nodded, and stretched out their wings…
"Touya…
I shall go upon the surface, and search for Sakura's aura.." Yue
stood up, and stretched out his own wings, only to be tugged by Touya
on his sleeve.
"You've forgotten – you can't sense her
out of the dome, it's of no use." Touya said, which Yue's wings
retracted. "That's correct.. I had forgotten.."
Touya lifted Yue's necklace. "But, every Oceanian has a necklace of their dome. Sakura and Tomoyo should have their necklaces on – search along the shore lines, look out for the maidens with the correct necklaces." Touya said, taking out his own royal necklace out from his robes, the golden medallion on his chest glimmered as Yue examined it – Touya's was ofcourse his father's necklace, but the Princess had a crown emblem similar to the King's.
"Dismissed, and good luck." Touya said, tucking in his medallion, watching Yue disappear and fly out of the window..
