I do not own Tsubasa. I am so sorry it took me longer to get this chapter up. I've been preoccupied with watching Higurashi no Naku Koro ni and Lovely Complex. I'll try to have the next chapter up soon next time. .

Chapitre 9: Mind Forest

"Yume-chan! Guess what I found out!" Fai said as he glomped onto Yume who had just exited from the hallway to the kitchen, not fully awake and not expecting a full assaulted hug so early in the morning.

"W... hat?" Yume said as she tried to wake up herself up faster, which wasn't working.

Fai released her, took a step back as he took in a huge breath to tell her the news.

"Kuro-puu and Kyo-chi are dating." He whispered with a huge grin on his face.

"Fai, come on, it's not nice to play tricks on me in the morn- WAIT! THAT MAKES SENSE!" Yume eyes widened. "When I walked in on them in the bedroom... and them going off doing stuff together all the time. Oh my!"

"Isn't this great?" Fai said happily.

"Yea, but now we can't tell them about us right now. That might damper the fun of us pampering them."

Fai nodded, becoming serious. "Yes, that is true. I think a sex talk is in order too. They need to at least learn to close the door."

"Yes, indeed they do. We should talk to them tonight. I don't have work, and neither do you. I don't know if Kyoki does or not, but she won't go in anyway because this is important."

Fai nodded again.

"Where are Sakura, Syaoran and Mokona? They should know about this glorious event as well." Yume said, looking around.

"They went out to do some more grocery shopping. I already told them." Fai informed her.

"That is good."

"What's good?" Kyoki said slowly walking toward them, her hair a mess and her eyes half open. "Is there any more chocolate milk? I had a dream that we were all out... and it was horrible cuz I need some chocolate milk or I was going to die."

"Kyoki! I'm so proud of you!" Yume launched herself forward and glomped onto her cousin, who stumbled back and hit the back of her head on the wall that jolted her fully awake.

"What the hell? It was only a dream." Kyoki said, squirming out of her cousin's grasp.

"Not your dream. I'm talking about you and Kurogane." Yume said, smiling.

"Ohhhh... that..." Kyoki nodded. "Yea."

"I'm so happy for you. You must be so happy too. You know, since you've loved him for so long and everything." Yume said.

Kyoki leaped forward and placed her hand on her cousin's mouth. "Keep it down, would you?"

"Aww, I think you're embarrassing little, Kyo-chi about her feelings."

"My name is Kyoki, damnit!" Kyoki yelled. "What's with the nickname all of a sudden?"

"Now you know how I feel." Kurogane said. He was standing half in the hallway, half in the room. He looked down at the two girls who were blocking his path.

"Yay! Kuro-ko is up. Now Kyo-mi can be super happy." Fai said as he danced around the room.

"It's Kurogane, you bastard!" Kurogane yelled as Kyoki screamed: "Kyoki is my name, Fai!" at him.

"I'm going back to sleep." Kyoki released her cousin, squeezed past Kurogane and went to her room.

"Did I say something wrong?" Fai asked, getting sad.

"No, it's just that Kyoki is very picky when it comes to nicknames. She likes Kyo, but isn't very happy with other names."

"Don't tell him that, now he's going to bug her with those stupid nicknames too." Kurogane snapped at her, he then turned to Fai. "And what you said was wrong. My name is Kurogane."

"Awww, is Kuro-tan defending Kyo-ku's name? That is so sweet!" Yume and Fai both said at the same time.

Kurogane growled, whirled around and went to his room.

"They are just so fun to tease." Fai giggled.

"Yep, yep, they are. We should come up with more names for the two of them. Of course, I won't be calling them those names. I'll leave the dangerous work for you." Yume laughed. "I really don't want the both of them mad at me."

Later that day, Kyoki sat in front of her dresser drawer, debating what clothing she should wear on the investigation that was to take place soon. She was surprised at how many clothes she had. The clothes in this world were so super cute, so she couldn't help what buy what she saw that she liked. A lot of the things she got were skirts and cute shirts that she would have never wore a year a go in her own world. Back then she was overweight and was too embarrassed to wear skirts. But for six months before Yume and herself were to start traveling, she went on a diet and lost a lot of weight. And so now, she wore what she had wanted to for so long.

"What the hell should I wear?" Kyoki wondered to herself.

The door opened and she turned to see who it was. It was Yume.

"Hey, Yume." Kyoki smiled. "Sorry about this morning. I wasn't really fully awake or anything."

"It's all right. What are you doing?" Yume said, looking at her clothing. "Going on a trip?"

"Oh no! I'm, ah, just looking for my necklace. I thought I put it in my clothes drawer... and I was looking for it."

"Oh, I see."

There was silence for a few moments.

"Hey, I just wanted to say sorry for walking in on you and Kurogane the other day."

"Heh? Oh, that. Don't worry about it. It wasn't what you think it was." Kyoki quickly told her.

There came a knock at the door and Yume answered it.

"Hi, is Kyoki in there?" Syaoran asked.

Yume opened the door further and told her she was. Yume then excused herself and left.

Kyoki got up as the young man walked in.

"Kyoki-chan, was there a second book at the store there? This one doesn't cover very much about four years ago. It ends right where it starts to talk about it."

"Second book... I don't know. I think that may have been the only one... but I'll check it out."

"Ok, thank you so much." Syaoran smiled and left the room.

'Second book? OH! Hen said something about a second book being in the back room. I should go get it before sometimes happens to it. I don't know what... but, yea...' Kyoki thought to herself as she decided to go get the book.

This story is so fun to write! I love it! Hehehe...

OH! Will Kyoki-chan be able to get the book for Syaoran-kun?
