A//N: Well this is the last chapter of the main story...then is the prolouge and we're through with the whole thing entirely. Woah. It feels like I only started this story yesterday...

Well: Read. Enjoy. Review. Thank you.

"Well? How do you feel?" The young blond man looked up from where he sat. On all accounts it looked like a normal scene. Two people in a room, talking to one another. The question itself sounded normal.

"How am I supposed to feel?"

"You tell me."

A smile crept over the blond's features as he looked up. "I feel pretty damn good all things considered."

The other man laughed coming forward and patting the blond on the shoulder. "Good to hear. What are your orders?"

"It's safe. Start the cleanup. I want three groups to start nearby, as time passes we'll spread out."

The other man nodded, going to the door. "Understood. You keep surveying the area. We want daily reports."

The blond nodded. "Easier done than said." The man left the room completely now. The blond's smile did not fade, if anything it grew into a grin. All their work had led up to that moment. It would only get better from here.

My eyes opened slightly, but they almost instantly shut again as my body shuttered from the pain I was in. I couldn't be dead. If I was dead there wouldn't be this earthly pain...The second option was that I was close to dead on the floor in Celes. This was wrong as well. I was still laying on my stomach, but it was too warm to be anywhere in Celes... "Where am I?"

There was a small chuckle from beside me. "In the land of pain and suffering."

Sarcasm. Just what I needed. "Shut up, I know that." I groaned as I turned my head to try and look at this person I failed at this point, I couldn't force my eyes open. "But where am I? Other than the land of pain and suffering?"

"Not exactly sure...the last name I heard was Edonis. I'm not sure if that was a person or the land we're in..."

"Fine, good enough for me." I groaned again, my hands itched to go to my stomach. "Am I dying? Dead?"

"Recovering. Boy, were you lucky I got there and found you when I did..."

"I'm not afraid of death..."

"That's what they all say."

I forced myself to look at him now. A young man, black hair and glasses it seemed, but these glasses were too dark for anyone to see through. Also, such strange clothes he wore. "Who are you?" I had to keep asking questions. It kept my mind off the pain that pulled my entire body into 'The land of pain and suffering,' as this person called it.

"Personally, I thought that was the first question you'd ask...I'm Fuuma."

"Why did you save me?"

"Well, Yuuko-san asked me to, and even if she hadn't, you looked so pathetic and lost. Just like him when that boy took his eye..." The man smiled gently at me, personally I wanted to strangle him for calling me pathetic, but it was true. I was pathetic. Lost? Not so much, but pathetic? Yes.

"You met Yuu...Fai?" I had to remind myself that Yuui had stolen my name when he left, I no longer had a name in this or any other world. Yuui had to give me a name back...who knew how long it would be until I saw him again and received my name, or if I would ever see him again at all.

"Yeah. Nice guy, lost, pathetic, emotional, but a good person. He means well."

A small smile crept over my lips despite the pain. "I know."

In the distance a sound went off and this 'Fuuma' looked up. "Okay, we'll be leaving here shortly. You go back to sleep now okay? Not to spoil your fun game of questionnaire, but it's late, when we leave it'll be easier to travel with you if you're asleep, also I'd say you're about to develop quite a nasty fever...so sleeping through it is about the best thing you can do okay?"

"Yeah...sure...magic is beyond my reach right now so..."

Fuuma laughed. "Yeah, when you wake up it'll be back."

I closed my eyes. "Good, then this pain will fucking stop." The last thing I heard was Fuuma's laugh.

My eyes opened. I was not awake...the pain had subsided slightly, but the pain that had left had been replaced by an aching...I decided it would be best to just forget I'd woken up and go back to sleep. I was too fogged up in my mind to really think of anything else...

Before I could fall asleep I heard a small sob on top of me. I turned my head slightly, what was that thing? A white rabbit? It looked like a really weird white rabbit...but it was sobbing. I didn't like that.

I reached out and picked it up, curling it in my arms under the blankets I was now under. It buried it's head into my chest and began to mumble something incoherent as I began to fall asleep once again.

I'm warm. My head is clear. I feel heavy weight on top of me, the weight is the same all over my body. I was laying in a bed. I had probably been laying in this bed the last time I woke up as well, but I hadn't realized it. The weight was blankets.

I shifted slightly and a sound of discomfort left my lips. My body curled into a fetal position even though that only made it hurt more. I shook, I still couldn't feel my magic at my fingertips, I was still powerless to heal myself. I felt a hand on my back. Fuuma maybe? I didn't open my eyes to look, and after a moment a voice spoke. "You should stay still. You're still in bad shape..."

My eyes snapped open and I tried to look at the person, but he was behind me, "Y-Yuui?!" Could it really be him! Was he really right behind me after all this time?

"Yes. Fai..." I could just see him shake his head at me, but I knew my vision was incorrect since he still had two eyes in my mind. I couldn't imagine him with only one, I didn't even know which eye he had lost. That made it even harder for me to picture, and please, let us not forget that the pain didn't exactly help. "How long has it been for you?"

"Many years...I stopped counting after ten." I answered truthfully, not trying to guilt-trip him or anything, but it was the truth. I had stopped counting after that.

His hand tensed on my back and then gently pulled away. "I'm sorry...I didn't realize it had been that long for you. It's only been a couple years at most for me...You must hate me."

I struggled for a minute, but then managed to ignore the pain long enough so that I could turn over and look at him. He was very different from what I remembered...longer hair that was probably a little longer than even mine, but unlike mine he had bound it in a small ponytail and he wore a black eye-patch over his left eye. He wore clothes similar to what I remember Fuuma wearing, except that were all black. They were so very different from the clothes Celes handed out. Even more different than anything else was that his face did not hold a smile on it. No, a frown circled his face now. "No...I could never hate you Yuui..."

A small smile traced along his lips for a moment and he reached out brushing some of my hair from my eyes. "I'm glad. I don't know what I would do if you rejected me as well..."

"So...why can't I heal myself?"

Yuui's smile disappeared. "When Fuuma brought you in he said there was a spell that restricted just your healing, but we've found that you can't use any magic at all..."

"That's bad..."

"I have a theory though. Your body is using all the spare energy to heal you...thus no magic, not until you're healthy again. It's all I can think of that seems logical." Yuui sat on the edge of the bed. "What happened anyway? For you to get in this state..."

"I...tried to get your eye back."

I made another acking noise as I felt the back of Yuui's hand collide with the back of my head. "No! Bad! Never do that again! You could have been killed! Think about it, if he could almost kill me...you should have run Fai."

"He would have gotten me anyway." I curled into an even smaller ball so I could see my knees. I concentrated on a small piece of lint that was on my pants.

Yuui sighed. "You're right. He would have." His hand an up and down my back gently. "I'm glad you're alive. What happened after I left?"

"I failed you." I bit my lip. He didn't say anything, apparently just waiting for me to continue. "I couldn't heal him. In only a manner of weeks after you left, he woke up and said we'd wait for you. For a while we did, since Ashura, Chii, and I were the only ones there it was okay for a while..."

"But he got worse?"

"Yes, none of my spells worked...In the end he told me to kill him...he even threatened to kill Chii and me if I didn't agree."

"But you're a sage! A healer! You can't kill!"

"Apparently even I can hold a knife..."

There was a long pause. "Was it that knife that Fuuma gave us? He said you were holding onto it as if it were a precious gem when he found you half dead."

"Probably...I never really touched any other knife than that one..." I paused for a moment to think of what else I wanted to ask...a million things came to mind, but one thing prevailed over the others as most important. "What about Chii? Fuuma didn't bring her did he?"

"No. He couldn't have. The clone would have gone directly to her after he thought he had disposed of you...there is no way she could have survived."

"Why would that clone have done for her? I sent her out before he came..."

Yuui shook his head at me, his face solemn. "Did he mention to you that he was after feathers?"

I closed my eyes and looked back into my memories, after a moment I remembered, "Yes. It was one of the very last things he said. He also said that he needed to get something all back, no matter what."

Yuui lightly rubbed my back as if to comfort me. "Yes. Before I explain what happened with Chii I will explain what this is all about. About the clone, about this journey, about anything you can question."

I nodded slightly and closed my eyes to listen. "All right."

"Along with myself, there are three other people traveling. Kurogane, who wants to go back to his home world. Sakura-chan, who needs to get all her lost memories back. Lastly Syaoran-kun, who is helping Sakura-chan to get these memories." He stopped speaking for a dreadfully long moment. "The clone was a clone of Syaoran. Up until the time I lost my eye to the clone, we were traveling with the clone and not the original. Up until I lost my eye to the clone, the clone had half of the original's heart. When the spell that kept that heart there broke, he took my eye and half my magic. He then left to the feathers on his own."

It wasn't until his second pause that I realized that his voice had been lulling me to sleep. I shook my head slightly to wake myself up. "Why feathers?"

"I was getting to that. Sakura-chan's memories were scattered over many, many worlds and we were and are searching for those memories. These memories are found in the form of feathers."

Yuui put his other hand to my lips to prevent me from asking another question. "A long time ago I created a living, breathing girl from one of Sakura-chan's memories. I named the girl Chii and gave her to my beloved brother so that he might learn how to be happy." He stopped now and took his hand away from my mouth so that I could speak.

"So he killed Chii for the memory feather at her core?"

"Yes."

I bit my lip and shook my head. I had always known that clones were soulless, but I had never realized how soulless one could be. To be able to kill Chii without a second thought...I considered myself pretty soulless and not even I could have harmed Chii with a knife, or otherwise. "Yuui?"

"Yes Fai?"

"Where are we now?"

"This is a world called Infinity." Suddenly Yuui's hand pressed down on my shoulder to keep me in place. A second later, the door opened. "Ah, Fuuma. Is it all prepared?"

"Yep. She accepted your price. Once your twin is healed it'll be done. I think he'll like it there, seeing as Celes was so empty." Fuuma's voice held a laugh behind it.

Once more Yuui put his hand over my mouth to keep me from speaking. "I think so too."

"Also Kurogane says it's almost time for you four to go to "chess.""

"Ah. Thank you. Could you tell him I'll be out in a minute?"

"All right." I could hear Fuuma's footsteps leave the room and the hand moved out of the way.

After a long bout of silence Yuui spoke again. "I obviously cannot keep my promises to you right now. I cannot take you with me, and I cannot give you your name back."

"What will my name be then? Where will I go?"

"The place you will go has been arranged, but it is a surprise...as to your name, I promise I will give you one before you leave. Now. I must go before Kurogane comes and yells. Try to rest some more. Heal some more." He stood to his feet and went to the door, I could feel him stare at me for what seemed like forever before the door clicked shut behind him.

"All right then, come on." Fuuma pulled at my arm and I pulled back, I didn't want to leave just yet.

"Not until I say good-bye to Fai." Fuuma smiled, but sighed as he let go of my arm, I sat on the ground and from within my few belongings I pulled Iiraina out and began to fiddle with it. Fuuma had in fact brought the dagger with him...which I found pleasing, almost calming. Just turning it over in hands again and again was enough to entertain me for almost twenty minutes...it might have entertained me longer if I hadn't heard a familiar voice call out to me.

"I knew you wouldn't leave without good-bye." I smiled slightly and pulled myself to my feet before me stood Yuui...no, stood 'Fai' still dressed all in black.

"Of course not. How could I be so cruel?"

"Yes, and I have a gift for you..." He came forward and turned my head to one side, he whispered a single word into my ear and my smile widened. "I thought that would be a good name for you. My gift to you while you wait for me to fulfill my promises. Do you like it?"

"I love it. It suits me so well, don't you think?"

"Yes." Fai hugged me tightly. "Be well in your new home. Don't do anything stupid."

"Of course not, you were always the emotional one. I'm the one that thinks."

Fai shook his head. "Right...just keep thinking that..." I laughed as Fuuma grabbed onto my arm and I felt some kind of magic activate to take us wherever we'd be going. I just watched as 'Fai's' face disappeared in front of my eyes.

We would meet again. I was sure of it.
