A few hours into the new day and Fai had asked to be alone so he could speak with Yuuko.

The raven haired male was both pissed and upset that after all he'd gotten out of the blonde there was still something the mage wouldn't say. Sakura was sleeping in after her adventures no one questioned the over sleeping. Syaoran was quiet and gave off an awkward presence but the ninja couldn't blame him for that.

"Kurogane-san…?" The brown haired male asked barely. His voice was shaky and nervous.

"What?" He couldn't help the pissed off tone in his voice.

"Sorry…I was only going to ask about Fai-san's health…" The teen muttered to himself more than the taller male.

"He's fine in physical health…but his mental health is another question…" Kurogane looked back at the door which separated Fai from the group. He hated being left out, he hated feeling useless and yet he somehow felt this was how Fai felt constantly.

"Fai? Are you well today?" The witch asked.

Fai rested a hand on the sleeping Mokona's head. He nodded slightly.

"Have you talked to Kurogane much?" She questioned.

"I have and I've tried to be back to normal, if there ever was a normal for me." He glanced out of a small crack in the curtains to see a bright light.

"Have you been talking about your past?" The woman rested her head on the back of her hand.

"Yes." Fai stated simply.

Sakura had woken up and come downstairs to see only two of her companions, both of whom didn't really want to speak to her.

She sat quietly at the table and ate something which she'd found in the kitchen.

"Sakura-hime…I'm sorry…" The new Syaoran muttered almost as a whisper.

"Huh? Why are you sorry?" The desert princess glanced to her new Syaoran.

"Kurogane-san…I'm also sorry…" The teen whispered again. His hands tightened into fists.

"It's my entire fault…if I'd only stopped it sooner…if I'd gotten there sooner…"

"Kid." Kurogane had simply said to get the attention of both teens. "I'm starting to believe that witch. I'm starting to believe that its no ones fault how things turn out. So don't blame yourself for it."

"Fai…are you sure you want me to do this?" The witch asked. Fai just nodded.

"Just tell me…is Chii still intact…is she still alive." The blonde looked to the floor allowing the bangs to fall across hid face.

"There is a lot of power in your home country but it seems like she is." Yuuko watched the mage carefully. "Your going to try to get your eye back aren't you." She added after studying the man.

Fai nodded before rising his glance to meet Yuuko's.

"I am. Ashura-ou will be awakening soon I can tell. I'll need all of my power to beat him." He briefly looked down at Mokona before smiling slightly.

"If I get into this fight will you know about it?"

The dark-haired witch nodded.

"Then if that happens can you have Mokona take the rest of them away. I don't want them getting hurt."

"There will be a price." The witch also looked at the sleeping ball by Fai's side.

"If that happens then I'll die either way. So may I pay with my life?" The mage asked already thinking the request would be denied.

"Why would you die?" The woman asked instead.

"If I have all my magic I might be able to take out Ashura as well but…if not then Ashura will more than likely take me out." The blonde explained.

"I se well...your price…"

Kurogane was now pacing the living room out of boredom. The two kids were talking quietly about various things that Syaoran had seen through the eye.

The door opened and there was Fai holding the sleeping Mokona.

Sakura rushed over to see the mage which caused the fluff ball to wake up, thought Kurogane doubted it was ever asleep.

Mokona jumped over to the new Syaoran and suggested that they search the new world.

Sakura, Syaoran and Mokona soon left leaving the two older men alone. The feeling in the room was cold even though it was fairly warm outside.

"Kurogane…There's something you need to know…"
