They had all returned to the place Ed and Al were staying in a few hours before it went dark. Fai had set about unpacking a few things and Kurogane had been busy trying to stop him.

"Don't unpack all the stuff! We're only staying here for a bit so don't get comfy!"

Fai smiled over his shoulder at him.

"Aw, Kuro-chii! Just ask if you want to help! I don't mind."

Kurogane glared a death-glare at him.

"I do not want to help you!"

Fai waved his hand up and down.

"You don't have to be so shy Kuro-miin!"

Kurogane turned away and breathed out hard, trying to stop himself from strangling Fai.

"I am going to go and talk to someone else now." Kurogane said through gritted teeth.

"Ok, Kuro-woof!"

"Stop it!"

"Aw is Kuro-woof stressed?"

"You bet I am!"

"Does Kuro-woof need a glass of water?"

"Not from you!"

Meanwhile...

Ed and Al sat on the opposite side on the table from Syaoran and Sakura. They hadn't said much because of the fighting upstairs, when Kurogane came down they pretended not to have been listening.

"So what brings you guys round here?" Ed asked, sipped a cup of water.

- Kurogane saw the water and shuddered, he thought he may never drink it again-

"We are looking for something." Syaoran replied.

Ed and Al's eyes widened slightly, they remembered using the same term quite a few times before.

"Oh?" Said Al. "What is it?"

Syaoran looked at Sakura, she nodded.

"We are looking for pieces of Sakura-Hime's memory." Syaoran replied.

"Sakura-Hime?" Ed and Al asked in unison.

Sakura smiled and looked at Syaoran. Syaoran blushed and looked at the table.

"Um... Sakura-Hime was a princess in our world..."

Kurogane had sat down next to them a while ago, avoiding looking at either the ceiling or the glass of water.

"You looked surprised just a minute ago, when Syaoran said we were looking for something. Why was that?"

Ed and Al looked at each other.

"We are looking for something as well." Ed replied.

Fai came down just as he said this.

"Let's look together!" He exclaimed.

They all turned to him.

"What?"

"I said-"

Kurogane held up a hand. "I heard what you said!" He moaned.

Syaoran looked to Sakura for her opinion.

"I think it's a good idea!" Sakura said smiling.

Syaoran looked at Kurogane hopefully.

Kurogane sighed. "Fine! But we're leaving as soon as we find the feather!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

That night Fai had another dream.

He was standing at the side of a huge lake. It was completely black. He looked around but no one else was there. Fai looked at the water, there was something in it. He moved closer and he saw...

... The face of Ashura.

Fai sat up, gasping for breath. Light was filtering in through the curtains of his room. He breathed out hard and collapsed back into his bed.

Later on, after they had all woken up, the group approached the main library.

"Remind me why we're here." Kurogane muttered.

"Becaaaause..." Fai said. "We're going to drop of Ed-Kun and Al-Kun!"

Kurogane glared at him. "Why are we doing that?"

"Becaaaause..." Fai smiled. "They let us stay with them."

"Yeah... so?"

"Becaaaause-"

"Stop that!"

"What?"

"You know what!"

They reached the library and said they would meet at Ed and Al's house at around 6:00pm. Syaoran, Sakura, Fai, Kurogane and Mokona carried on down the road. They had been walking for a while when Mokona stopped suddenly.

Fai looked round. "What is it?"

Mokona's eyes opened. "I can sense the feather close by!"

Syaoran looked round as well as the others. "Where?"

Mokona looked at them. "I think it's just down there..." It pointed down an alley way.
