"Kurogane-san! Should we go find Fai-san and Mokona?" The brunette boy called out from his place on the hill.

"Do what you want." The ninja grunted as he continued on his walk down the hill. Right now he really didn't want anything to do with the magician or anyone for that matter.

"Syaoran-kun…will Kurogane-san be alright?" the princess asked quietly as she watched the older man.

"I don't know hime…I'm more worried about Fai-san…" Syaoran replied as he turned his attention to the trail the blonde and the white creature had taken moments go.

"Hes not up for this is he…" Sakura walked behind her companion and sighed sadly. Everyone was breaking part and she was once again useless when her friends needed her.

"Let's go after Kurogane-san instead." The teen smiled slightly at the girl behind him who nodded.

"How long was I asleep for?" Mokona rubbed its eyes slightly and looked around from its current place in a fluffy hood. "Fai?"

"You're up then Moko-chan" Fai appeared from behind a few trees carrying a few plants in his hand.

"Where are we?" The white creature bounced up to the mage and stared up at blonde.

"We're safe that's all that matters…you should go back to Syaoran-kun and the others I'm sure they're worried. Besides…" The blue eyed mage trailed of into silence.

"Fai…" Mokona hopped up to the mage's shoulder and patted his blonde head with a stubby paw. "Why are you sad…you don't need to be sad...you should have fun. Everyone should."

"Maybe Mokona but not everything is so easy. Anyway we'll stay here for a bit after all I'm sure the others need sometime alone." Fai smiled and even he had to admit it was the fakest one he'd ever come up with.

"Puu" Mokona nodded and bounced down to help move things around.

"Mokona…I used to think Kurogane was the worst but you and Sakura are even harder…" Fai muttered as he looked up trying to see the sky through the thick tree branches. The trees started spinning and closing in until all light was gone and only darkness remained.

"Kurogane-san…what if Fai-san is injured?" Sakura asked the grumpy ninja who was currently trying to drown out the questions with his third bottle of sake.

"He shouldn't have gone off by himself. He wants to prove a point and its best he let him do it." The dark haired man gulped down half of his bottle.

"Prove?" Syaoran asked. He pondered on the thought for few moments, "Fai-san wants someone to go after him then…" He spoke slowly.

Kurogane grunted, "Or he'll come back when he wants to." He glanced across to the princess who was looking rather agitated, a look that had never appeared on her face before. "You're not going." The ninja stated simply.

"But…" Sakura knew it was pretty useless to argue after all the warrior was atleast twice her size and probably around ten times her strength.

The ninja sighed as he placed his empty bottle down; he was truly a sucker when it came to princesses. Tomoyo had always been able to wrap him round her little finger and it seems Sakura would be able to do that soon too.

"I'll be back."

"Fai…wake up Fai!" a voice in the dark called out to the blonde from all directions. He'd heard that voice before but could think from where.

"Fai…Wake up Fai!" A shrill voice called out as something small poked his arm. "Fai!"

The mage lept up and glanced around to see the white bun staring at him and looking very worried.

"Fai…" The white creature relaxed a bit.

"What happened Mokona?" The blonde clutched his head where it was throbbing slightly.

"You started acting funny then fell down…" Mokona hopped up to perch on the thin man's knee.

"Ahh…" Fai mumbled silently to himself.

"Fai…Fai…Fai!"

"Did you just hear something Mokona?" Fai looked around for a person, a person he knew.

"No…" Mokona tilted its head in confusion.

"Oi Bun, Fai!"

"Mokona heard that though. That was Kuro-pun. KURO-OP!" The bun jumped up and down on its perch facing the direction of the voice.

"Fai…I know you can hear me…"

The ninja pushed past few trees and into the clearing to see the mage laying on the ground with the white bun bouncing on him.

"Get off him you fat roll!" The raven haired man gripped the half rabbit creature off its perch and flung it to the side.

"Kuro-Puu is mean!" it wailed from the bushes.

"You okay?" The ninja crouched down next to the blonde who'd turned to a ghostly white and was shaking slightly. His pale blue eye was threatening to cry at any moment.

Kurogane reached out a hand slightly and touched the lanky blonde on his shoulder causing the smaller man to tense.

"Fai…I'm sorry…"

"It's too late…" Fai muttered as the darkness started to grip his mind again.

"Fai!" Three voices called out, two panicked and one in pain.
