Deadly Ice

They fell on soft hay, Kurogane first, then Sakura followed by Syoran and then Mokona landed gracefully on top of Syoran's head.

"Can't you pick a more respectable place to land!" Kurogane cursed to the white bun.

"Don't get mad at Mokona Kuro-pii"

"ARGH!"

"Hime!" Syoran got up very quickly making his head dizzy. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," she said getting off Kurogane as Kurogane grabbed Mokona by its ears.

"Are you alright?" she asked. Mokona whine.

"Yes I'm alright" he said and looked around not finding the fourth person in their trip "Where is Fai-san?"

Sakura looked around along with Syoran confused. Kurogane stopped shaking Mokona up and down and looked around and also found the wizard missing. He raised Mokona still holding him by his ears and asked in eye level.

"Where is that stupid mage?"

"The next world" Mokona said with a sappy face.

The three worried companions got closer to the Manjun and asked at the same time, "Why?"

"That was Fai-san's wish" Mokona explained, "to never return to his home world."

Just as he said that an icy gust of wind picked up from nowhere hitting them on their almost bare backs. Now they understood why Fai had that big furry white and baby blue coat.

They looked around and saw ice everywhere; there was no telling where the ice stopped. They saw the houses where made of wood but they seem to be glowing.

"They are held up by magic," Mokona said before they asked.

"I'm scared for Fai" Sakura cried. Syoran held her in his arms and asked Mokona.

"Do you sense Hime-sama's feather?"

"Mokona does feel something" Mokona replied.

"Well kid," Kurogane said, "we better find it fast. I don't want to stay here long."

Syoran nodded.

They found a woman by the name of Chii, she had long blonde hair and she said that Fai created her, they had found her near a tall ice castle like building. She told them not to stay in there too long, and that a feather had been spotted by some witches and had taken it to the castle where a king slept trapped by powerful magic.

"I still don't get it" Sakura said, as they waited for Syoran to be back from one of the rooms of the icy castle where he went to find the feather. "Why did Fai-san leave?"

Chii looked almost sad, her eyes were almost oblique.

"Because Fai-san can't stay here or else he'll wake up faster and go after him and kill him."

"Who is he?" asked Kurogane, "is it that king you were talking about earlier?"

She nodded. "He did something terrible and Fai-san locked him in the castle, he couldn't defeat him so he did what he could and saved the people and me couple more years." She started to cry, Mokona looked up at her trying to comfort her; Sakura moved next to her to comfort her as well. "I'm sorry I can't say anymore, Fai-san will be sad"

"It's alright." Syoran said from the door. They all stared at him. He moved closer to the princess and gave her the feather.

When they departed Chii went to check on the King. Her eyes widen with fear as she saw a crack on the ice and Ashura on the other side trying to wake up.
