Fay: Youou's wife
Fai: The traveler.
DISCLAIMER: do I look like CLAMP?
oOoOoOoOoOo
The four travelers gaped at the giggling woman. I mean, hey, it's not extraordinary to do that in your shocked state right? So, that's what they did.
"I'm Fay D. Suwa. And you are?" when she said her name, Yuui's eyes filled with sadness for a second. However Kurogane already saw it. She narrowed her eyes before the name registered in her head.
"WHAT THE-? DOES THAT MEAN I'M GONNA MARRIED WITH THIS IDIOT?" she yell out loud while pointed to Fai who opened his eyes so wide it would jumping out of it's sack anytime. "Oh, please someone tell me that I'm just having a nightmare!" Youou's wife, Fay, just chuckled lightly when saw Kurogane's reaction. Sakura and Syaoran just watched from the background with comical shocked faces.
'Oh, this is just nightmare. Just a nightmare! It's impossible I'm going to married that idiot someday later! Anyway, he didn't love me and I didn't love him! But I love-' Kurogane stopped her train of thoughts and her face blushed heavily.
"Yay! Kuro-chan is blushing! A blushing Kurgy is so cute!" Mokona cooed
In the middle of all chaos, the blond woman giggled lightly then realized that the brunette Princess is watching her from her knight's side. "Something I can do for you, Princess?" she asked with a soft smile
"No. it just, we never met our alternate version before. It was just... awkward." Syaoran explained hesitantly. Fay just smiled warmly at her and holds her hand.
"It's alright. You really a good, polite girl, you remind me of a certain someone, Princess." She turned and talked in a hushed whisper to her husband who nodded in agreement of something and made a happy smile appear on his wife's pretty face.
"Alright everyone, rather than just standing here and talking nonsense, come inside. My wife already prepared a lunch." Youou announced and made the guest stop immediately on what they doing.
"Uh, sure" Sakura replied hesitantly and all of them get into the house behind their host. The seven of them stopped in a spacious lounge with two normal sized loveseat and a short, black coffee table between. The wall is painted with caramel-like color and the floor was made of light brown-nearly white-wood. The left side of the lounge connected to a kitchen and the lounge itself held a warm and welcoming aura attached permanently to it.
"Please sit down; I will take the food from the kitchen." Fay spoke gently and leaves the travelers and her husband to sit down on the nut-colored loveseats.
"Wow, this house is so comfy and good… don't you think so, Sakura?" the Princess whirled her head excitedly to Sakura with a big grin on her pretty face.
"Yes, Princess, This house is very beautiful. I never saw one this beautiful in Dreamscape Country." Sakura answered with a nod. Syaoran beamed at him.
"The Dreamscape country? Is that where you are from?" Fay emergences from the kitchen, holding a tray of food. "If you don't mind, Kuro-chan and I would love to hear the reason of your travel. Is that alright?" she asked while putting down the dinner on the coffee table. It's a beef steak complete with carrot, potato and a sauce that the travelers couldn't identify.
"Oh, of course! It's the only way we could repay you for all this, Miss Fay." Sakura bowed his head.
"Awww, you don't have to be so polite to me. Just call me Fay-san or something, no Miss." She sat down on her husband's lap (because there's no room left for her on both loveseats) "First, can you tell me your names?"
"Oh" Sakura stood up and bowed low to Fay and Youou "My name is Harumoto Sakura, The Royal Knight from the distant country of Dreamscape. And this..." He waved his hand to the Princess beside him "is Princess Lisa Syaoran, the Heir of Dreamscape's throne" Syaoran stood up beside him and bowed too.
"Oh, I already told you, no need to be so polite, it's not like I'm a royalty too" Syaoran and Sakura could clearly see a little blush on Fay's face. This make them smile, Fay is easier to be flustered than her double that right now is sitting beside his twin. Then Yuui stand up and walked to her, followed by his brother. Both of them kneeling before the lightly blushed woman and took an opposite hand. Fai took the left and Yuui the right.
"My name is Yuki no Yuui, milady."
"And my name is Fai van Winter"
"Pleased to meet you" they said in unison and kissed the back of Fay's hand, making the beautiful woman blushed
"Ah, um, the pleasure's mine, gentlemen" she said awkwardly, but the way she said it made Syaoran remembered of the royalty she met once. Then, Fai and Yuui stood up and plopped down on their seat. The ever so small manjuu jumped into Fay's lap and hold up one of her (1) tiny paw.
"And I'm Mokona! Mokona is sent by Yuuko-san to help Sakura and the others to travel between worlds!" the furball chirped happily. Youou mumbled something and made Fay giggled
"You still a bad puppy after all, eh, Kuro-wan?" she asked with a soft grin and that grin invited a small smile to her husband's handsome face.
"Now it's your turn to introduce yourself, Kuro-wan!" the other Fai grinned lazily from his place, immediately make a vein appeared on the girl's forehead.
"I know, I know!" she shouted with a fair amount of annoy in her voice.
"My name is Hinata Kurogane. Royal ninja from the Country of Nihon. Nice to meet you." She said grumpily.
"Now, now Kuro-wan-wan, it's not polite to introduce yourself without at least a bow!" Mokona chirped happily with an energetic smile.
"Don't be deceived, lady, her name is Kurogane Hinata, Kurogane is her family name. So, she should've been called Hinata, not Kuro-tan. But she said Hinata is too cute right Kuro-cutie?" his grin meet against a dark, deathful glare from Kurogane.
"Some day, mage. Someday I'm gonna kill you with my own hand" she hissed angrily. She could have jumped out of her skin when she hears a giggle and laughter. Fay and Youou is laughing (and giggling) to each other, receiving weird looks from their guests.
"Oh, it' okay" Fay tried to suppress her giggle but failed "it just, both of you remind us of old days, doesn't them Kuro-ran?" she looks over her shoulder to her husband still smiling face.
"That was days full of memories huh? The princess, the brat, even the manjuu" Youou mumbled loud enough for everyone to hear. Mokona titled her head to one side, confused.
"Ah, go on and eat the dinner, my friends. After that we can discus everything." Fay stated. Everyone start to eat their foods. For some minutes the only sound emanating from the lounge is the sound of forks and spoons hitting plates. All of them done almost on the same times, Fay wiped her mouth before smiled warmly.
"Okay, let's hear the story of your journey. How it began and what is the purpose" Sakura, Syaoran, Mokona, Fay, Yuui and Kurogane eyed each other before Sakura decide to break the silence
"It's all began in a stormy night in our country…."
OOoOoOoOoOo
