Kuroganes Return, Chapter One

"Alright, you stupid little manju bun-where are we now?" A tall man snarled, repeatedly whapping a small white rabbit like creature on the head.

"Mokona doesn't knoooowww!" whined the creature, rubbing the red jewel on it's forehead, swaying slightly in the grasp of the angry shinobi. "How many times does Mokona have to tell you? Mokona doesn't control where Syaoran, Fai and KuroRin go!"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Dropping Mokona-more like slamming him to the ground, the man glared at his surroundings. Mokona bounced off the grassy ground, hopping into a blonde's arms. "Ah, don't worry about him, Mokona." The man smiled, blue eyes sparkling. "KuroRin always gets edgy when we enter a new world."

"I SAID DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Red eyes ablaze, the man spun around, glaring at his comrades.

"Please, Fai, Kurogane, keep it down. The Princess is sleeping." A young boy whispered, brushing away a strand of his brown hair.

"Forgive me, Syaoran-kun." Fai bowed, wispy blonde hair shining white in the moonlight.

"Eh…" Kurogane turned again, studying the trees around them. "Huh?" Bending down, he scooped up some dirt, shifting it through his black gloved hands. Eyes widening, he looked up. "Wait here."

"Wait, Kurogan-" Fai was cut off as the shinobi jumped onto a lower limb of a tree, hopping deeper into the forest.

"It can't be…" mumbled Kurogane, frowning. "Can it…?" Hopping up one particularly large tree, he popped out from the tree line. Looking around, his jaw dropped.

He has seen it so many times-the Princess Tomoyo's castle. "I…I can't believe it…" he trailed off, eyes wide. "Heh…YES!" he yelled, fangs glistening in the moonlight as many night birds flew from their nests, startled from the sound. "I'M BACK!"

Quickly returning to his companions, he smirked. Before he could open his mouth, Fai sighed. "Yes, KuroPoof, we heard you yelling. So this is your world, huh?" Ignoring the glare from Kurogane, Fai threw his arms in the air, smiling. "Well, I s'pose we should get going to the castle of your Princess-Tomoya, was it?"

"Tomoyo." Kurogane growled, frowning. "I wonder how many months it's been…" he sighed, pointing in the direction of the castle. "Let's go."
