Darkness spreads
Chapter 6 - restless night
Hey guys! It's been a while... I promised myself that if I didn't do this chapter before christmas then I'd give myself £5 back so here we are!

Fai smiled as he looked out the window on the ground floor. Snow had begun to fall a few minutes before but everyone had been asleep. Fai hadn't slept for more than an hour since when he had last seen Ashura's face in the door two days ago. Strangely enough though, he didn't feel tired, he felt relieved. He didn't know why but seeing Ashura's face properly for the first time in a year had made all the bad memories disappear, it was like they weren't needed anymore.
Anyway, he always had a saying to fall back on:
'It couldn't get any worse than this.'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syaoran sat up in his bed. He looked across at the curtains, there was no light coming through so what could have woken him up?
He stood up after a minute and headed downstairs. He got to the living room's door and opened it. His eyes widened slightly as he saw Fai sitting by the window, his head resting on his arms, asleep.
Syaoran smiled and picked up a sofa cover from over the door, placing it on Fai to keep him warm. He turned, then stroked Fai's head. He left and went back to bed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kurogane heard the door close next to his, Syaoran was back in his bed. He waited a few minutes before sitting up and slowly walking over to the sink in the corner of his room. He turned the tap of and washed the cold water over his face. He wasn't very tired but it made him feel better. Kurogane looked at himself in the mirror, his face looked tired and drained of colour, probably from worrying so much about Fai.
He kicked the wall hard. Why did he care if Fai was in danger? He shouldn't care, he didn't even like him. But the problem was that he couldn't help worrying. He shut his eyes as the image of Fai on the floor filled his mind. He'd looked so scared, it was unbearable to think about it. He shook his head, he wasn't going to think about it. He was going to do something about it instead.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sakura opened her eyes again. She sighed looking into the snow. She'd only ever seen snow once before, in the town of Spirit. It wasn't an experiance she wanted to remember. Sakura remembered what Fai had said as they arrived there about his country. 'It always snowed.' She sighed again, wondering what it would be like to see snow every day for the whole of your life. She couldn't even imagine it.
Sakura looked at the wall at the end of her room, Syaoran was in the next room. She was happy that he was there, this whole thing going on with Fai scared her. She didn't want to think that anything would happen to one of her friends.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mokona looked up as Kurogane got back into his bed. Mokona was sitting on the floor just under the bed so he wouldn't be seen. Mokona was terribly worried as he could sense Kurogane and the others were, he didn't want anything to happen to Fai or any of them. He jumped up onto the bed then frowned. Mokona walked closer to the lump in the middle and poked it.
Nothing happened.
Mokona gasped and ran out of the room, switching on the hall light as he went. "Kurogane!" Mokona called.
No answer.
Mokona shook his head and ran downstairs. Kurogane wasn't there either. Mokona ran out into the path, after having a bit of difficulty opening the door, and looked around frantically. Mokona couldn't see anything in the blizzard the snow had now become. He ran back inside and switched on all the upstairs lights, even in the rooms, waking everyone but Fai up.
"Kurogane's gone!" Mokona exclaimed when they were all in the same room (Even Ed and Al who were wondering what was going on).
"What!" Ed, Al and Syaoran all exclaimed.
"Where could he have gone?" Sakura asked.
Everyone started looked everywhere but at her.
"What?" She looked around. "Tell me."
Syaoran looked at her.
"I think he's gone after Ashura..." He muttered.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kurogane smiled slightly as he walked through the blizzard. They must have noticed he was gone by now, it was just starting to become morning after all. He shook his head, he had to focus and not think about the people he left behind, the people he might never see again. He bit his lip as he carried on walking.
He would miss them.

So? What do you think? It's festive right? Snow? Yeah? Well it's as good as I could make it before christmas so I hope you enjoyed it! Until next time.
