Kurogane was the first orf everyone to wake up. It was 5:00 AM He walked past the rooms, but he saw that Fay's door was opened. He looked inside and saw that he had passed out on the floor, blood still on his lips.
He walked over and put a blanket on the sleeping mage. He seemed so intent on sleeping.
Kurogane headed out of Fay's room and peaked inside Sakura's room. Sakura was tossing and turning. She groaned in her sleep. "Must be a bad dream," Kurogane whispered to himself.
He saw Syaoran sleeping sitting up. Mokona was on his pillow sound asleep.
Kurogane walked outside to the balcony to see the sunrise. On every planet they had been to, the sunrise was somehow different.
He sighed, wondering what today would be like. "Kuro-puu!" a familiar voice called out. "Shiro-manjuu..." Kurogane muttered.
"Kurogane, I have a bad feeling about today. Mokona thinks we should stay inside and rest," Mokona said with some worry in her voice.
"Do you know what'll happen?" Kurogane asked. "No, Mokona can't tell," Mokona nodded her head. Kurogane pet Mokona's head, "Better you than the witch telling me."

After everyone woke up, their stomachs started growling. "Crap..." they all grabbed their stomachs. "We have a little money, that should be able to at least get us some breakfast," Fay held up a small bag.
--
All they could afford was a crappy café. They each ordered some coffee and a muffin or toast. "We still have some money left over," Kurogane said. "MOKONA WANTS CANDY!!" Mokona jumped up and down listing the different types of candy, "Chocolate, gummy bears, gummy worms, pocky..." the list went on and on.
"FINE!! We'll go to the damn candy store!" Kurogane got up and stuffed the shiro manjuu in his pocket. "Whuaahh! It's dark in here!" Mokona's voice was muffled.
When they got into the candy store, Mokona bounced around, hyper from just looking at the sugary sweets.
Kurogane twitched at all the sweets. He hated them. Except gummy bears. He had a big weakness for gummy bears that Tomoyo and Amaterasu had found out about.
Sakura and Syaoran looked around the colorful-looking candy shop. They didn't have anything like this on their planet.
Fay just glanced around the store, still hungry because all he had was toast for breakfast. (A/N: Coming from a girl that doesn't eat breakfast or lunch, don't skip meals!!)
"Shiro manjuu! Why did you drag us here if you said to stay inside today?" Kurogane whispered into Mokona's long bunny ear.
"Mokona doesn't think a café or a candy store will kill us!" Mokona hopped in the air, picking out some candy. "Syaoran, Sakura, Fai, and Kuro-tan all have to pick a candy!" Mokona held the bag open so they could drop their sweets in.
Syaoran got some M&Ms, Sakura got some cherry taffy, Fay got a bar of chocolate, and Kurogane got assorted gummies. He didn't want to let the others think that he was a sissy who ate cute, edible bears.
Mokona took a little of everything! The whole bag cost about 500 yen, or 5.00. They had about 200 yen left over, not much.
As they were walking out, Fay started to walk the opposite way. "Hey, where do you think your going?" Kurogane grabbed Fay's arm. Fay snatched his arm away. "I'm going for a walk," Fay walked away.
"I'm going too," Sakura jogged to where Fay was. Syaoran was about to stop her, when Kurogane put his hand on his shoulder. "I don't think that idiot would let anything happen to her," Kurogane said with a serious look, remembering what Mokona had said.
They started on their way home.
--
"Why did you come along?" Fay asked Sakura, not bothering to look at her. "I needed some time away. "And away means with me?" Fay asked in a serious tone.
"Yes," Sakura answered. They walked on. Sakura walked with her head down, until she tripped. "Ouch!" Sakura winced as she saw her knee. Blood was already coming down and a bruise was starting to form.
Fay helped her up, "Maybe we should go." "Yeah," Sakura nodded as Fay held onto her back.
Just then, a group of people dressed in black got in front of Sakura and Fay. They were armed with gun and knives.
Without warning, they charged at Sakura, but Fay got in front of her. The first punch hit Fay's empty eye socket. "Damnit," Fay murmured as he felt blood coming out from under his eye patch.
"Fay-san," Sakura walked up to him. "I'm okay, just step back!" Fay told Sakura. He got into fighting stance. Before he knew it, he heard the loud noise of a gunshot. And a scream. The scream came from behind him. It was Sakura, clutching her stomach, blood soaking her forearms.
"Sakura!" Fay ran to Sakura and held her up. Before he could ask if she was okay, he was knocked to his side. He was knocked out for a few seconds, but saw a couple of the black-clad men ganging up on poor Sakura.
Before he got up, the same guy stabbed his arm repeatedly and punched his gut. Fay coughed up blood as his eye turned gold. He glared at the guy and punched him as hard as he could with his left hand, his unstabbed arm.
He walked over to where the men were ganging up on Sakura. He kicked and punched his way through to get to Sakura, on the floor, a pool of her blood on the ground.
She had several cuts on her neck; multiple bruises on her legs, her clothes were partly torn at the ends, and some blood was coming out from the top of her head.
"Sakura-chan," Fay picked the princess up, "I'm so sorry." He cried in fear of what Syaoran and Kurogane would do to him. Also at the fact that Sakura could die. He looked around at the knocked out bodies on the ground.

Meanwhile, back with Syaoran, Kurogane, and Mokona...
They were sitting around the table, trying to figure out how to work the TV. "Kurogane-san, I don't think you bang the 'remote' against the table," Syaoran tried to catch the remote from Kurogane's evil grasp.
Mokona finally caught it as Kurogane accidentally dropped it. "It wouldn't work! The damn thing!"
"Mokona knows how to work it! Yuuko and Mokona always watched TV on my home planet!" Mokona waddled up to the TV set and pressed 'on.'
"See! Look at the pretty colors Kurogane!" Mokona swung around the remote in Kurogane's face. "That's it, you furball!" Kurogane grabbed Mokona and was about ready to throw her against the wall when they heard the door open.
Syaoran ran to get the door. And boy, was he surprised!
There, he saw Fay, blood on his face and his eye gold. His arms and legs had blood dripping.
But, Syaoran looked at Sakura is horror. She had blood coming from her head, her neck was red from blood, and her clothes were tattered at the ends, blood dripping from her body as Fay held her.
Fay weakly held Sakura out to Syaoran, and he grabbed her, as Fay collapsed to the floor. Kurogane and Mokona came rushing in.
"Holy Crap! What happened!?" Kurogane and Mokona hoisted Fay off the ground, as Syaoran was silently crying into Sakura's face.
"I don't know," Syaoran choked.
Nightfall came upon the house.

When Fay woke up, he awoke to a world, no, hell of pain. He saw that a large thick layer of bandages around his chest replaced his shirt and coat. His arm right arm was in a sling, he had a new eye patch, and he still had his torn, bloody pants on.
He tried moving, but his ribs wouldn't let him. He gasped in pain. He was a vampire, wasn't he? He was supposed to heal quickly.
He threw his head back down against his pillow. He was in his room. But, unknown to him, Sakura was fast asleep on his side. Kurogane was sitting quietly on a chair in the corner of the room, Syaoran was kneeling on the side of the bed, holding Sakura's hand, and Mokona slept in between the two.
He tried to get up again and through much pain, he managed to sit up. "You and the princess were out for 3 days," Kurogane was the first to speak.
"Three days?" Fay repeated, softly. "Fay-san, did you and the princess wander into the Akiyama district?" Syaoran asked as he stood up.
"Akiyama district? You mean the area with the tobacco shops and stuff like that?" Fay only barely remembered what happened. "Yeah. According to the locals, there are a lot of gangs who fight for no reason. Nobody knows why," Kurogane said.
"Also, we asked Yuuko-san about your vampire-healing abilities, and she said that you only received a bit of a purebreds' blood, making your healing slightly longer. You should be healed later today or tomorrow," Syaoran explained.
"What about Sakura-chan?" Fay asked. "She won't heal as fast, probably a week and a half," Mokona moved closer to Sakura.
"That only leaves us two days to practice for the concert, when Sakura-chan heals," Syaoran faced down.
"Anyway, do you remember what happened?" Kurogane asked.
Fay closed his eye, he remembered men in black clothing, armed. "There was a large group of men dressed in black, and they were holding guns and knives. They ganged up on Sakura, and then I blacked out. Then, I saw blood, and..." Fay fainted. He was still very tired from being asleep for 3 days.
Syaoran was about to wake him up again, but Kurogane stopped him. "Let's let him rest for now, then we can ask them both.
