Dream With Me

Chapter 4: Inevitably Unavoidable
Disclaimer: I STILL don't own Tsubasa Chronicles. Clamp does.
The song that Fai sang last chapter is 'Come on Closer' by Jem. I forgot to put that in…
Summary: Kurogane seems to have woken up in a world with Sakura, with doors that lead to places that they least expect, and other doors that lead to disappearing people. Can things get any weirder? KuroFai, Slight SyaoSaku
Note: THANKS FOR THE KIND REVIEWS! (It makes me feel privileged.)
Second Note: I really hate this chapter. I don't know why, but I do.
Kuro-bonbon's Point of View!

I don't think I'm ever going to go into that room again.

I was going to ask the damned flirt why he was hugging an imposter of me before, and if he STILL knew the way out, but this is too much. Wearing something a bit sluttier than a belly dancer outfit AND kissing me, while the imposter of me was on the bed with him?

I can't believe I ever doubted him of being gay.

But something still isn't right here…he wouldn't do that normally. He's only ever been a freaking tease.

Sakura walks over to her door and sits down, completely blushing, and fidgeting with her finger, all while avoiding eye contact with me.

I bet something weird happened with her, too, with Syaoran.

It's probably something stupid, like he held hands with her. Damn hormonal teens.

I quickly decide that I should ask her if I want to know if something is wrong with just the mage, or Syaoran too. "Why are you fidgeting so much?"

"I-I'm sorry, Kurogane-san." She stops, but still doesn't look at me. She curls up in a ball, puts her head on her knees, and stares off into space.

"Did the kid do something weird?"

She squeaked and her face turned a shade darker red.

"He s-sang to me…" She drifted off, becoming lost in her memories.

I don't think you can handle a sword AND sing. They just…don't go together.

The fucking mage did sing songs, too, but I hope, to whatever god that seems to hate me up there, that Syaoran didn't sing the same suggestive song that the basketcase did.

I can feel myself slightly shudder at the thought of Syaoran in the outfit that the magician was wearing.

"...and he...kissed me." She put her hand to her cheek, rubbing it lightly. She then rose from her spot, and walked dreamily back to the kid's door. She twisted the knob, and attempted to open it, but the door would not open. She pushed harder, and yet it wouldn't open.

She sighed, and knocked gently. "Syaoran-kun, may I come in?" She asked nicely.

"Why are you asking? Why not just kick down the door or something?" I ask, and she turns swiftly.

"A voice told me we have to find someone-" Sakura jumped, as if some imaginary voice cut her off. She glanced about the whole hallway, apparently looking for something, before calming down and glancing back at me. "Syaoran-kun!" she says at nothing in particular.

She looks back at me, like she's expecting me to say something, or do something, but I have no idea what the fuck is going on with her, so I just stare back at her.

Maybe she finally snapped?

She then turned back to the door. "I'm sure." She speaks, and a loud clicking signifies the door unlocking.

The princess turns to me, "I hope you find your host soon, Kurogane-san." And then she steps into the room.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?!

Sakura still hasn't come out yet.

Of course, there seem to be no clocks here, so it's quite hard to tell how long it's been since she entered Syaoran's 'room'.

I'm starting to give up on sitting here, waiting for something to happen, and try the other doors.

I'll go to Tomoyo's door, and see if she's the PRINCESS Tomoyo. Although, if she's like any of the Tomoyos we've met, she won't try to do anything weird like a certain tease would.

"You've been freaking EXPECTING me?!" I raise my voice, and she smiles.

"Of course, Kurogane. Have you forgotten already that I'm a dreamseer? Although it's a bit strange about having a dream, telling me about how I'll have a dream, where I'll meet you. At least you still act like you used to." She says, still smiling.

I want to become enraged at her for how much trouble she put me through by sending me to that Dimension Bitch's place, but knowing better than doing so, because she's a princess, and I don't want to find out if she could put another cures on me with her mind.

So instead, I just settle for glaring at her, making sure the two words in my head are sent through her. 'Fuck. You.'

She giggles to herself, enjoying my annoyance. "Have you found a host yet, Kurogane?" She asks, instead of bringing up my travels.

"What would I need a host for?"

"It's your only way out. I'm sorry I can't explain more, but I don't really understand it, myself." She looks slightly saddened, and looks away from me. "Just make sure to ask nicely, and they might let you enter."

I don't really understand, either, but I'm not going to admit that any time soon. "As long as the 'host' isn't the damned mage, I'll get a stupid 'host' so I can get out of here. If need be, can't you or Souma be my 'host'? If I can talk to you now, can't you suffice as a 'host'?"

She still looks saddened. "I'm sorry, Kurogane, Souma and I can't be your host. It must be someone from the world you're currently in. Who is this 'mage' you speak of, anyway?" She tilts her head, trying to use her 'cute princess' technique to make me tell her what she wants to hear.

I look away from her and cross my arms. "Tch. Like I'll tell you."

She leans forward, and continues to stare at me, and I glare at her out of the corner of my eye.

She finally sighs and backs down, fixing her dress. "Fine, Kurogane. You can tell me when you get back."

"Like hell I will. I'm not going to tell you anything about that damned slutty magician." I say, not really worrying about saying too much information.

"Is she pretty?" The princess asks.

She's getting the wrong idea…

"Maybe she likes you?"

She's REALLY getting the wrong idea.

"You know, just because she's trying to attract your attention doesn't mean she's a sl-"

"IT'S A HE."

"…oh."

She's finally catching on. She thinks about it for a second, before looking back at me innocently. "What if he likes you?"

I thought that was obvious through his constant flirting…

She continues "I meant as something more than just friends?"

Damn her and her ability to tell what I'm thinking about.

I stood up abruptly and walked out of the room. I need to go straighten something out with this... high-school flirt.

"Good-bye, Kurogane! Tell me how your talk with him goes!" she waves, a giggle wavering through her voice.

..Fuck.

Ending Notes: Uhh.. I don't really like this chapter, because I feel its too confusing, but its the only way that I can move on with the story. In the next chapter, Fai and Syaoran will go and start getting the feather, and answers will start being given. ...except for things like 'how come Kurogane knew what a belly dance outfit was?'. You can make up your own answer for that.

Dear Reviewers: I'll heart you forever if you leave a review, and I'll LOVE you forever if you leave a nickname for Kurogane or Fai in the review.
