The wounds of love
Arina was cold. The weather was warm and damp, but she still felt cold. She wrapped her arms around herself, the fabric of her new dress brushing against her skin. Crystal colored tears dripped down her cheeks, pain filling her heart.
Fay looked down. He didn't know what to do. His life was so complicated and he didn't want to bring his problems over to other people whom he cared for. However, he didn't want to be alone either. And there is another person too…
Kurogane looked at the wizard. He looked so sad, and Kurogane couldn't help feeling sorry for him. Kurogane had a secret, which he didn't want to admit to himself either. Every time Fay had kissed Arina. Every time he touched her, Kurogane had felt pain. He tried to ignore the feeling but facts where facts. Kurogane felt bad when someone else than him was with Fay. When someone else touched him, kissed him, he felt sad that that person wasn't him.
Suddenly Arina showed up in front of the group. Her dress billowed around her along with her long raven black hair. She looked shyly at Fay and he looked at her. There where doubt and uncertain feelings in Fay's eyes. Arinas own feelings where clear for her. Fay was her most precious person.
"That dress looks lovely on you" Sakura said, and broke the silence.
"Thank you Sakura-chan" Arina said smiling and walked over to Sakura. "Try on your dress as well; I am sure it looks lovely on you too"
"Thank you Arina-chan. I will go and get dressed right now" Sakura smiled brightly.
"Sakura-chan, we will go look for your feather after we get dressed" Syaoran smiled at her, and she smiled back.
His feelings are so pure. Sakura is his most precious person. He will do anything for her. He values her life over his own. Who do I value over my own life? Thought Fay. Who is my most precious person?
After twenty minutes they where all dressed. Sakuras dress was very much like Arinas but was in a light red color. Syaoran, Fay and Kurogane where all dressed the same. They had black pants and white shirts on. Apparently, this world had just one type of male clothes. Fay looked lovely, his shirt blowing slightly in the wind.
"I really hope it doesn't rain" Kurogane mumbled, and looked at his shiny white shirt.
"It doesn't look like it. The weather will probably be good all day" Syaoran said smiling at the ninja. "Shall we go?"
The group followed a road that ground was covered with neatly placed stones. The path seemed to lead into a mountain that swayed meters above them. The nature they passed was astonishing. The threes danced in the light wind, and they heard birds sing their song from their swaying branches. Then the path divided into two.
"Let's split. I will go with Sakura-hime and Fay if that's fine with you?" Syaoran said smiling.
"That's fine with me. I will go with Arina then" Kurogane said and started walking in the path that led to the left. Deep inside him felt a little sad. He wanted to go with Fay but instead he had to walk with Arina. He didn't like Arina that well. He wasn't sure why. I guess it's because she loves Fay, he thought for himself, looking sternly at the ground.
"Wait for me!" Mokona sang out jumping after Kurogane.
"Why the hell do you have to come along with us?" Kurogane shouted at the white manju.
"Kuro-rin has such a nice shirt to sleep in" Mokona said, jumping into Kuroganes shirt.
"Are you planning to sleep trough the whole day?" Kurogane snapped at the white creature inside his shirt.
"Mokona will not sleep, Mokona will look for Sakura-chans feather" Mokona said happily.
Then they parted. Fay looked at Kurogane and Arina disappearing. He sighed and started on the path to the right with Sakura and Syaoran. Seeing the two of them made Fay sadder than ever. But at the same time, it made him hope that he would sort out his feelings some day. The sun glinted between the leafs on the threes dancing their mystical dance with the wind. The breeze ruffled his hair. One of these days I will know, Fay thought following Syaoran and his most precious person.
