Darkness spreads

Chapter 1- Fate

Fai sat up, his heart pounding. He had had another nightmare, the one about his powers.

Fai shook his head, trying to clear the images of his friends torn to shreds, blood everywhere. He could only remember seeing them first the waking up and finding them dead. Fai sighed heavily and got up, he needed to go and think.

Fai was walking outside the area his companions and he had decided to stay for the night, a small clearing in the middle of a forest. He paced up and down for over and hour trying to clear his head. Fai hated dreams like that, where people he knew died because of him. He had only had another series of dreams like this before...

Fai spun around. He had heard someone close by. He started walking quickly back to the camp but then he crashed into someone, making himself and them fall over.

"Uwah! I'm sorry!" He heard a familiar voice say. "I'm so sorry Fai, I didn't see you!"

Fai blinked and looked at the figure. He smiled with relief, it was Sakura.

"No, I'm sorry Sakura-chan!" He said, quickly getting up and helping her up. "I was just thinking."

Sakura smiled back. "Well we both seem fine, shall we go back to camp?"

Fai suddenly thought of something. "But Sakura-chan, what are you doing away from the camp? You could get hurt."

Sakura laughed. "I was just getting some water from one of the bags. I don't think anything lives around here anyway."

Fai smiled. "Yes, that is true. I haven't sensed anything since we came." Fai actually found this unsettling but didn't want Sakura to worry.

They walked back only to find Syaoran looked around desperately. When he saw Sakura he ran over to her and took her hand.

"Princess! Where were you! I was worried!" He looked up to Fai. "Did you find her?"

Sakura smiled. "We kind of both found each other I think..." She blushed, looking down at Syaoran's hand on her own. Syaoran noticed and quickly let go.

Fai smiled. "Where are Kuro-chan and mokona?"

Syaoran looked back to the tents they had been sleeping in. "They're both in there still."

Fai frowned. "Kuro-chan doesn't normally sleep in..."

Syaoran looked concerned suddenly. "Do you think he's ok?"

Fai walked past him, not saying anything. He reached the tent and opened the door to it...

He screamed.

Syaoran and Sakura ran over only to find Fai held in a headlock by Kurogane.

Fai smiled and waved. "I guess he was just sleeping in..."

Kurogane looked at them all, then at Fai. "I could've killed you." He said. "I am a ninja you know."

Fai smiled as he was released. "You mean you were a ninja, right?"

Kurogane growled. "I am a ninja and don't you forget it either! "

Fai grinned. "Of course I won't kuro-rin!"

Kurogane glared at him. "If you do, I may have to remind you."

Sakura and Syaoran looked worried.

Fai smiled, then said in a patronising voice: "Aw, of course kuro-chii!"

Kurogane slowly drew his sword, one of his forehead veins sticking out.

Sakura ran between them. "Um... um... Should we ask Mokona if he senses a feather?"

Fai smiled, Kurogane relaxed a bit, Syaoran nodded eagerly.

"Yes." They all said together.
