All righty everyone, this is the last chapter of part one. I'm so happy for everyone who read it and enjoyed it. I'll try to have Part two up soon. Hopefully life won't get in my way. . Anywho, here is the long awaited conclusioin to part one of my Tsubasa fanfic. Enjoy!


Chapitre 19: Happy Ending?

The next day everyone was getting ready to go get the feather. Before they left, Reo wanted to talk to them first though.

"I think everyone should bring their weapons in case there is fighting. I am not sure what is going to happen, but you never know what will happen so come prepared. We still don't know what the effects the feather will have after being contained for four years." Reo told them. "Sakura, Kyoki and I will have to go in the cave alone to receive the feather, but I would like you to be near the entrance so we can transfer the feather back to you as soon as possible."

"Could the feather be used to destroy the Shadows?" Sakura wondered.

"I doubt it, but we can't count out that possibility. It would be safer, and best, if we returned the feather to you and didn't experiment with something that is unknown to us. We may think it will destroy them, but help them instead, do you understand?"

She nodded.

"Good. Then, is everyone ready to go do this?" Reo looked at them all.

Everyone nodded.

"Then, let's go." Reo said as he quickly did some hand signs, as they were all teleported to a spot in the middle of the woods. There was a small opening to a cave a few feet away.

"Wow, so that was teleportation." Yume said.

"Yep." Reo said. "Cool, huh?"

"Hell yea." Kyoki said as Syaoran and Sakura nodded.

"Of course, it's not wise to use it all the time. You use it all the time, then you don't get any exercise and then you'll get fat. Trust me, it happens. It happened to a friend of mine and now he's really fat." Reo laughed.

"So how will you have to unlock the barrier?" Fai wondered, looking at the cave.

"You're all going to think I'm crazy, well, not so much Kurogane or Kyoki since they already know." He winked at the two of them. "But Kyoki-chan and I will have to play Dance Dance Revolution on double player mode and each of us have to get a double A star on the song Sakura. Quite ironic now how Yoru and I picked that song."

"What level?" Yume wondered.

"Standard. It was the highest level that Yoru could do at the time." Reo explained.

"S-standard?" Yume's jaw dropped.

"Kyoki-chan, will you be all right doing that with your injured ankle? You're been dancing so much lately." Fai asked, worried. "What if it is too much for you?"

"Please don't injure yourself, Kyoki-san." Sakura said, grabbing the older woman's' hand.

"I'll be fine. Really, I'm feeling a lot better now. And besides, I'm a lot better at the song now." She said, smiling.

"Why is it Dance Dance Revolution?" Syaoran asked.

"Well, at the time, that was the game me and her were both really interested in, so we decided to use that as the way to unlock the barrier. It's weird, I know. Well, shall we get this done with?" Reo asked, looking at Kyoki.

She nodded.

"Now, we're going to be right there in front of the cave, but a veil will be covering us so no one can see, but we will be right there. I'm going to be taking Abel with us. Once it's open, Abel will come tell you guys it's open. If either Kyoki or me leave the cave, the barrier will reclose again and we would have to wait for the next day with a three in it. The only ones who can enter the cave are myself and Kyoki." Reo told them.

"Where is Abel?" Syaoran asked as he looked around.

"Here." Abel said, walking toward them; Min in his arms. "I had to go get Min. Hold her please." He walked up to Yume and held the small dragon out for her to take.

Yume took her carefully as Abel went to go stand beside Reo.

"Let's go." Reo said.

Kyoki and Abel both nodded and followed Reo toward the cave. He stopped a few feet from entering.

Yume watched them walk, and then saw them suddenly disappear.

Two dance pads appeared next to each other. These dance pads were like the ones Kyoki had seen at an arcade on her world. A screen came up and it began to count down.

"Ready?" Reo asked, stepping onto the pad.

"Yea. There's no turning back now." She said as she too, stepped on to the dance pad.

Fai heard the music start as there came some rustling in the bushes. Moments later after that, people began to come out. Everyone pulled out their weapons, ready to use if these people turned out to be Shadows...

"They're..." Fai stopped in mid-sentence, surprised at all the people around them.

"Shadow-Hosts and regular humans." Syaoran said, stepping in front of the princess protectively.

"Please get out of our way. We do not wish to harm you." One of the normal humans said.

"Why are you guys with the Shadows? They are going to try to use your bodies." Yume said.

"We have agreed to join forces with them to dispose of a common enemy." Another replied.

"And that being?" Kurogane asked.

"The so called 'Great Demon Lord Reo.'"

"Why would you turn against someone who is trying to protect you?" Fai asked.

"He's the one who started all of this!" A female yelled at them.

"Weird guy, have you noticed?" Kurogane said, looking at Fai.

Fai nodded.

"What?" Syaoran and Yume asked.

"They aren't themselves. They're being brainwashed. Look at the blankness of their eyes." Fai said.

They looked at the humans carefully and noticed the lifelessness of the eyes.

"We are not. We are ourselves. We must join the Shadows and kill Reo. You are lying about Reo trying to save us." Another one said.

"Kill them if they will not step aside." The Shadow that had taken over Hen said, coming forward.

Fai gently grabbed Sakura and took her closer to the cave to be closer when Reo came back with the feather, and to get her further from soon to be fighting area. Min jumped into Sakura's arms and crawled up onto her shoulders.

"We should try to not do anything dangerous to the regular humans." Yume said, looking at Kurogane.

"Why are you looking at me?" Kurogane snorted.

"Don't know. Just figured you were the one to look at." Yume said, shrugging as she stepped forward and slammed the hilt of one of twin blade swords into the stomach of an approaching human. He slumped to the ground as other humans and Shadows came forward.

The three of them fought together and managed to unharm any humans while cutting and slashing at the Shadows.

Abel came out. He surveyed the area and sighed. "What the hell is going on here?"

"The humans who stayed in town, I think, are being controlled by the Shadows. They think that Reo-kun is not on their side and want to kill him." Fai informed him.

"Idiots." Abel said. He looked at Min and sighed. "Min, get out there and help. But don't hurt any of the humans. Put them to sleep."

Min rubbed her cheek against Sakura's before jumping into the air and became her full size. She flew off a little bit, and then landed as she attacked all the hosts around her.

"She has the ability to breathe out sleeping gas." Abel told Sakura and Fai.

"Interesting." Fai commented.

"Whatever." Abel said as he pulled out a sword and ran forward to help the others.


Meanwhile, Reo and Kyoki were running through the lightly lifted cave tunnel.

"It sounds like there is fighting. Will the others be all right?" Kyoki asked.

"Yea, they'll be fine for now. But we should still hurry." Reo said.

They ran in silence for a few moments more before coming to a small circular room. In the middle was a small pillar with a pillow that held the white feather. There was a small light coming down from the ceiling surrounding the feather and pillar.

"Who should take it?" Kyoki wondered. "Or does it not matter?"

Reo stared at it for a moment, then looked at her. "You should take it. I don't know what kinds of effect it may have on me. I doubt there will be any, but just to be safe..."

"Aye, aye, sir." She said as she stepped forward and grabbed the feather. She held it carefully in her hands. "Got it."

The small cave then started to shake violently.

She stumbled a little, Reo reached out to steady her.

"What is going on?" She asked, looking at the walls around them, hugging the feather to her chest.

"I don't know. This isn't suppose to happen. We should get out of here as soon as we can. I am getting a bad feeling about this."

Kyoki nodded and started to run.

"Not fast enough." Reo said, running ahead of her, bending slightly and threw her over his shoulder. "Still got the feather?"

"Yes." She told him.

"Good. Now hold on to it tightly. Things are going to get really fast." Reo said as he began to run using his demon speed.

Seconds later they were at the opening of the cave standing next to Sakura and Fai. Reo placed Kyoki down.

"Here." The dark haired woman held out their feather to Sakura.

Sakura held out her hands and took the feather. The feather then floated inside of Sakura's chest. Instantly afterwards, Sakura passed out and was caught by Fai.

Abel ran over to them.

"What is going on, Abel?"

Abel quickly told him.

"Ah, I see. I should have known they would use the remaining townspeople like that." Reo said. "Well, then, I guess I should go fight now." He nodded to himself and started forward to fight.

He, and everyone else as well, froze when a bright light filled the whole area. It lasted for ten seconds. When the light subsided, all of the Shadows were gone.

"What the hell?" Reo and Kurogane said at the same time.

All around them people started to wake up, holding their heads like they had a headache; all of them asking where they were and what they were doing.

"You were being controlled by the Shadows and tried to kill Reo." Syaoran told them as he took Sakura from Fai.

Fai walked over to Yume and gave her a hug.

"We're so sorry." Some of the people said.

"Please forgive us, Great Demon Lord Reo." Many others cried out.

"Hehe, don't worry about it." Reo said, smiling and waving his hand.

Suddenly, the entrance to the cave gave one last strong violent shake, then crumbled. The townspeople ran the hell out of there. The others remained where they were and turned to look at it.

Kyoki, for reasons unknown to anyone but herself, grabbed a stick and began to poke at the rocks now blocking the way to the probably non-existent cave.

"You know, Kuro-pon, you should go congratulate Kyo-pon with a hug. She did get the feather after all." Fai said, nudging Kurogane in the side with his elbow.

"All she did was play a video game to unlock it." Kurogane snapped.

"A video game on a very difficult level." Yume reminded him.

"A video game on a very difficult level along with a injured ankle." Fai added.

"Not doing it." Kurogane said, folding his arms.

"You know, you're not being a very good boyfriend." Fai said, sticking out his tongue. "I'm starting to think that Kuro-chi is starting to think of breaking up with Kyo-chi because of what Yume and I revealed the other day."

"What if Fai-kun didn't call you any nicknames for one day?" Yume smiled.

Kurogane looked at her, then at him. "Would you?"

"Of course." Fai nodded.

Kurogane hesitated. It was just a simple hug, but it felt... odd to do something like that. He took one step forward and then stopped. "No, I can't."

"Yes, you can." Yume told him firmly.

"You jus do it like this. Hug her from behind so she is surprised." Fai said, taking a step behind Yume. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and pulled her close to him. "There, that's it." He let go of his girlfriend.

"No."

"C'mon. The big bad ninja Kurogane-sama is scared?" Yume teased him. "And here I thought that nothing scared you. I guess I was wrong into thinking that you were some kick-ass ninja who would laugh at death. But nooo~ apparently he's scared of hugging people. What a disappointment."

"Shut up, you stupid girl. I'm not scared." And with that, he marched over to Kyoki.

"Nice job." Fai said, patting her head.

"I know." Yume said, smiling.

Kyoki tossed away the stick, getting bored of the probing of the dirt. She didn't know why she had done that. It was just one of her mysterious random action. She was thinking about going over and standing with Yume when arms wrapped around her. She at first thought it was her cousin and started to say her cousins' name before she realized that the arms were too muscular for her cousins and were higher than what her cousin normally hugged her at. Kyoki stood there confused for a few moments as her mind raced. 'Someone is hugging me... who could be hugging me... Yume-chan is usually the only one who hugs me... well... Fai-kun does sometimes too when he gets into his super happy moods... so who is this....?'

"Good job getting the princess' feather." Kurogane told her as he started to remove his arms.

"Oh... oh, thank you." Kyoki said, shocked.

He turned and walked back over to Fai and Yume.

"That was a short hug. Should that even be considered a hug?" Yume said, punching him on the arm.

"Yes, it was for fifteen seconds. Anything longer than fifteen seconds is a hug." Kurogane snapped.

"Oh, then you must hug your enemies longer than you hugged her." Yume snapped back.

Fai and Kurogane looked at her, confused.

"I'm just saying that I'm sure there are times that you had to grab onto your enemy, in a hugging type fashion, and it was longer than fifteen seconds, then that would be considered a hug too, right?" Yume said, placing her hands on her hips.

"No, that would be called fighting." Kurogane flicked her with his forefinger on her forehead.

"Hmph." Yume stuck out her tongue and went over to Kyoki who was staring at the ground like she was in shock.

"Hey, Kyoki-chan. Nice work." Yume said as she waved her hand in front of her cousins' face.

"Oh, thanks." She shook her head and came back from... well... wherever her mind always took her.

"How-" Yume started, but was cut off by another bright face of light.

As the light faded, there appeared to be a young woman who looked like Kyoki, but had shorter hair and wore different clothing... and was somewhat transparent. The hologram looked at them carefully.

"Yoru?" Reo asked, taking a step toward it.

"Oh, there you are. How are you? What is going on? I sensed that the barrier was down and wanted to know if everything was all right." Yoru asked, eyeing the new people carefully.

"Everything is fine. The feather has been returned to its rightful owner." Reo said, indicating over to Sakura. "And... I think the Shadows are gone."

"I see." Yoru coughed. "Well, I found out some new information on them, but I guess it's rather late now, but I'll tell you all anyway. Who are you people anyway? Why does that guy look like you and that girl look like me? And that boy looks like Abel... and that girl looks like your mo-"

"They're travelers from another world. They are trying to find all of the princesses feathers." Reo cut her off. "And yes, they look like us."

Yoru shrugged her shoulders. "That's cool how there are other people who look the same. Anywho, I've found where the Shadows come from. They are created by the darkness in humans' hearts, or something like that. And the reason they were taking over peoples bodies during the four years was because they were trying to find the body that they came from."

"How did you find that all out?" Syaoran asked.

She smiled at him mischievously. "When you live as long as I have, you meet a lot of people. Plus I have my own powers at my disposal." Yoru laughed.

"... that didn't really answer the question." Fai replied.

"Well, I'm just lazy like that." Yoru laughed again. "Well, I gotta get going. Gotta get ready for work. It takes quite a bit of energy to keep a hologram like this up for this long. It was nice meeting you all though."

"Bye." Abel said as he held onto the now small Min.

"Good bye." Yume and Kyoki said as Fai waved.

"Oh, before I forget. Reo, ah, would it be all right if I stopped by to visit soon? I've missed you so much." Yoru smiled nervously.

"Sure. You're always welcomed here." He smiled back.

Yoru nodded, smiled and waved, as the connection was broken. There was a brief flash of light and then she was gone.

"I have a question." Fai said, raising his hand.

Everyone looked at him.

"How did the Shadows disappear like that? Are they gone for good now?" He asked.

"I don't know... I think... Yoru had something to do with it..." Reo said glancing at the spot where her hologram had been moments before. But... I don't know."

"Mokona knows." Mokona said, coming out from its hiding spot. It hoped onto Fai's shoulder. "Many of the Shadows hosts were still fighting inside for the control of their bodies. They used the Shadows powers and teleported themselves and the other Shadows to another realm. They can't come back. They felt responsible for what was going on... so they took it upon themselves to take care of it."

"Wow..." Kyoki said.

"Well... that explains it...." Reo said, surprised.

"Hey, is she going to be all right?" Abel said, pointing to Sakura.

"Yea. She just needs some rest after getting the feathers." Fai told him.

"Since Mokona cannot sense any more feathers in this world, should we go now?" Mokona asked.

"Hold on! I have to tell Kyoki and Kurogane something before they go." Reo said quickly. "If you two would please come over here." Reo said as he walked a little bit away so the others could not hear them.

Kyoki looked at Kurogane, who shrugged his shoulders and followed Reo. Kyoki did the same.

When they got to Reo, he smiled at them.

"I have been debating telling you this for awhile now. But, I guess I should tell you..."

"What's wrong, Reo-kun?" Kyoki asked, looking at him, worried.

Reo glanced at Kyoki, then Kurogane, then up at the sky. "Well, you know how I told you if you slept in the same room it would help get the feather....?"

".... yea?" Kyoki looked at him, curious.

"Well, I lied. Having the two of you sleep in the same room had nothing to do with the feather." Reo said, looking at the two of them again.

"What?" Kurogane yelled. He stepped forward and Reo stepped back.

"Heh?" Kyoki took a step back. "Then why did you tell us to do that?"

"Because you two remind me of Yoru and myself. I thought it would be fun." Reo said.

Kurogane sighed, his fist tightened into balls as he stormed off back toward the others.

"So that is why?" Kyoki said to herself.

"Yep. Lame reason, but it's the truth." Reo told her.

"Oh... well... thank you though." Kyoki said as she looked up at him.

"Huh?" He was confused.

She shrugged her shoulders.

"Hehe... well, you guys should be on your way now. I bet there are lots more worlds you have to go to get the feathers."

"Yea." Kyoki said as the two of them walked back to the others.

"Reo-san, thank you for helping us get the feather." Syaoran said, bowing.

"Oh, its no problem." Reo said. "Uh, I'm not very good at goodbyes... so... uh... I'll see you guys around."

"Bye." Abel told them.

"See you later." Yume and Fai both said, smiling.

Mokona began the transfer to the next world.

"Later." Kyoki smiling and waving. "Thanks for everything."

Kurogane just snorted and looked away.

"Thank you." Syaoran said again.

Large wings sprouted from Mokona's back; it's mouth opening wider and wider.

"Tell Yuko 'hi' the next time you talk to her." Reo said waving.

"Ok... what? You know Yuko-sama?" Kyoki asked as Mokona's began to send them away.

"Yea. We go way back." Reo said, smiling.

"Cool." Kyoki managed to say before they disappeared to the next world.

"You know the time-space witch? How and why?" Abel asked.

"That is not something for you to know at the time. Let's go home. My favorite show is about to come on." Reo said as he teleported the two of them back to the house.


Yay! They were all safe and happy! I have the world they go to next all figured out too and it's has lots and lots of more fun and entertaining situations to see! I hope you all liked how this part ended! And I hope everyone likes part two just as wel as this one! Until next time! Later!
