Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I do not own anything from Tsubasa Chronicle, but I do own the plot of this story.

Syaoran stepped out of the darkness and glanced around. He was a beautiful forest. The ground was covered in thick, soft moss and tall, straight trees were scattered all around. Flowers had sprouted everywhere, and birds chirped merrily in the trees.

"Mokona loves Earth Dimension!" cheeped Mokona cheerily. " Mokona especially likes cute birdies!"

Syaoran grinned. "I like this dimension too, Mokona," he said. Then something struck him. "You've been here before?" If Mokona had been here before, then perhaps he could use that to his advantage.

Mokona shook his head sadly. "Mokona only dreams about worlds." Mokona looked so miserable that Syaoran gave him a pat on the head and picked him up.

"It's all right, Mokona," he said. Then, he noticed a young girl peeping out from behind a tree. He stared at her. She seemed to be about seven or eight, and had pale green skin, deep brown eyes and was dressed in garb that seemed to be made of petals and leaves.

"Come out," he said gently. "I'm not going to hurt you." He beckoned to her. "Where are you from? Do you need help? What's your name?"

The girl stepped nervously out. "M- My name is Leah," she mumbled. "I live here. Are you lost?"

Syaoran shook his head. "No. I'm looking for something," he said warily.

"W-Would you like to come to our village?" she looked a bit embarrassed. "Our village leader is very wise and might be able to help you," she added quickly as Syaoran prepared to shake his head.

Upon hearing that, Syaoran changed his shake to a nod. "All right, then," he said. "But I can't stay too long. Sakura is waiting."

And Leah led him offdeeper into the heart of the forest.
