Ok, So this chapter's causing me greif. I have to keep reuploading it because of annoying errors I find, missing question marks and apostrophes. Sorry if this is beginning to annoy you.

"Ready, Mokona?" Fai shouted over the wind.

"Ready!" The muffled reply came from his shirt.

The wizard had been watching the tail, and saw that it moved every ten seconds, and that if he moved with the swing, instead of being dragged along, he could create enough force to swing himself up onto the tail of the dragon. It looked big enough to stand on, and from there he would run to the middle of the dragons back, and hold on for his life.

"9...10!" Fai shouted. Sure enough the tail flicked, and Fai pushed himself forward with it. Because of his added force to the swing he flew upward and soon was above the tail. He reached out with both hands and caught hold of a spike, stopping his momentum. He pulled himself up onto the tail, and then got into a standing position of sorts.

"Hurry, Fai! It's going to move soon and Mokona thinks that Dragon-san knows we're here!" Mokona shouted, looking up at Fai from it's spot in his shirt.

"I'm trying, but the knot's stuck!" Fai replied, an edge crept into is voice as his free hand worked frantically at the knot. Mokona pulled himself from Fai's shirt and untied the knot within seconds.

Fai then wasted no time in running up the tail and onto the dragon's back where he sat quickly, lodging himself between two spikes that ran down his back, and holding tightly to the one in front of him.

"One of Mokona's 108 secret techniques!" Mokona chirped, "Super knot untying!" He was again confined in the recesses of Fai's shirt. The mage emitted a laugh before observing the damage done to him. His bow, still in the crook of his elbow, seemed to be in tact, which was good. His eyes then moved down to his hand where a red mark angled across his palm, the rope had cut through the gloves on both hands actually and if the left hand was bad then the right hand was worse. There was a similar mark on his palm, as well as one around his wrist, which was ten times worse considering it had taken the brunt of the force.

"Hyuu...that's going to hurt soon." The wizard remarked to himself. He soon tore his gaze from his throbbing hands to the head of the creature. Never in all his years did he ever think he would fly on a dragon, and he couldn't just let the opportunity pass by without one single good thing about it. He raised his hands up into the air and let out a whoop of exhilaration. He laughed brightly, and just as the dragon turned in the air to throw off the wizard, he latched his hands back onto the spike before him, regretting doing it as quickly because pain seared up his arms. He winced and then cast his gaze to the side and saw one of the cat creatures, a large orange one, staring back at him. He turned his face to the other side and noticed the black one looking at him. He realized that they both gave off Eriol's aura.

"What do you think you're doing!" They both yelled simultaneously.

"I think I'm riding a dragon, though I may be mistaken." Fai said with a grin. These two creatures had to have been created by Eriol; they would mean him no harm.

"This is no time to be smart with us." The black one replied, "What are you doing?"

"Well, I was thinking I might try and save the princesses, but I can't do much until the dragon lands right?" Fai replied simply.

The two creatures stared at each other, wondering why a random archer would go so far to help.

"Sakura-chan means a lot to a friend of mine, and I couldn't sit idly by while they were both dragged off like this." Fai said, explaining his actions.

"Fai is traveling with Mokona and Sakura!" Mokona chirped, though he stayed safe in Fai's shirt.

They both raised an eyebrow at the voice and realized that it had come from inside the archer's shirt. They then grinned and nodded.

"Right, we'll guard your sides for the time. I'm Keroberos and he's Spinel Sun by the way." Keroberos said, "It looks like it'll just be the four of us then."

"Six actually," Fai commented with a grin, "Look down, they shouldn't be far behind."

Spinel and Kero looked down at the ground. They had long since left the battle field, so it seemed odd when they spotted two knights on horseback.

"We'll be back." Spinel said, and both of them sped to the ground.

"He is the most goddamn reckless person I've ever met." Kurogane growled as he tried to make the tired horse go faster.

"He may be reckless, but that was still amazing." Syaoran said, looking around the landscape.

"Kurogane grunted in reply. It was true that the stunning display of aerial acrobatics had even left him breathless, but he sure as hell wasn't going to admit that.

"Oi!" The voice came from above and Kurogane and Syaoran looked up to see the two catlike creatures from before flying towards them, and soon enough they were flying along side of them.

"You know the blonde and Mokona, Right?" The black one asked.

"Unfortunately," Kurogane replied.

"Hop on!"

The two wasted no time in jumping from horse to guardian beast and they were soon flying up to the dragons. Syaoran sat atop the orange one and Kurogane on the black.

"Name's Keroberos by the way." Kero shouted to the young boy on his back.

"Syaoran!" Came the reply.

Kurogane and Spinel exchanged a similar introduction and within seconds they were flying alongside the dragon, back where Fai had perched himself. The wizard greeted them with a smile, "Syaoran-kun, Kuro-pon, good to see you're alright!" Fai shouted to them.

"Dammit Fai!" We were already worried about the princess, and you go and shoot yourself off a castle!" Kurogane shouted, not only because of the wind but because he was furious, "Are you crazy?"

Fai merrily laughed off the shouting and said, "Some have called me that."
