Chapter 6.

Approaching a new world through the black tunnel, Nazaiya could see a lot of people down there. With a loud crash, they all landed on some sort of a stall and scattered all the stuff that were being sold. To their amazement, they were a lot of people looking at them. It was noisy, too.

"Mokona is the center of attention!" the fluffy ball cheered.
"Wah, there's so many people around!" Fai exclaimed, making no effort of standing up from the fall.

Suddenly, they were being overshadowed by a huge figure.
"Who the hell are you?!" the huge figure shouted, whilst pulling Sakura's wrist harshly. "Answer me! Where did you all come from?!"

Right when he finished his words, Syaoran landed an angry blow on his huge face, making him fall back and released his grasp from Sakura. Fai, Mokona, Nazaiya and even Kurogane were very impressed by Syaoran's skills, letting out a slight cheer for the boy.

"You! Do you realize who you just kicked?!" the huge guy shouted again, wiping off his bloody nose and mouth.
"STOP!" a loud, shrieky voice came not far from them. "Stop messing around with people you don't know, dumbass!". It was a little girl, standing proudly as she challenged the huge guy.
"Chunhyang!" the huge guy voiced out in anger. "Who are you calling 'dumb'?!"
"Besides you, who else is dumb around here?!" the girl fought back.

After a short while of shouting to each other, the huge guy then began to back off along with his followers. "Watch out kid, I'm gonna come back for revenge!" he managed to say, to their annoyance.

"Hyuu~ Everyone was looking at us just a moment ago." Fai said, rather happy.
"Syaoran's amazing!" Mokona cheered.

Syaoran looked down, before realizing that they all had ruined the goods of the stall they fell on.
"Ah, we're really sorry!" Syaoran apologized, but the vendor was not mad at all.

Syaoran then began to pick up the food and fruits that were on the floor, followed by Mokona and the others.

"Kuro-rin~ Help us too!" Fai waved at him. Though annoyed, Kurogane did help them… while muttering little curses. Sakura helped as well although she was sleepy, and once in a while she would steal glances at Syaoran. Nazaiya let out a smile, seeing how happy they were.

The girl Chunhyang looked over at them for a moment. Realizing how weird they were dressed, she couldn't help but wonder.
"You guys look weird!" she voiced out.
Fai laughed, before looking at Kurogane. "She said you're weird, Kuro-pon!"
"If I'm weird, what does that makes you?!" Kurogane fought back.

Before long, the girl then took Sakura's hand before running along somewhere. Shocked, Syaoran quickly follow after them. And thus, Fai and Kurogane followed suit, apologizing to the vendor as they ran along. Nazaiya was sort of left behind, but she decided to run as well and laughed.

Chunhyang brought them all to her house, and waited for them to speak. Kurogane wasn't interested at all, and so does Nazaiya. She sat cross-legged next to him who was reading a book that was bought back in Hanshin Republic, and she was quiet. She listened to the girl's story about the Amenosa and everything, but she wasn't interested. She was still thinking of ways to track down what she seeks.

And suddenly they did introductions on themselves.
"Chunhyang, was it? I'm Fai!" he introduced himself. "This is Sakura, Syaoran, that's Mokona. And the two sitting over there are Nazaiya and Kuro-puu."
"It's Kurogane!" the ninja shouted, making the girl next to him jump in surprise.

Suddenly, Nazaiya felt like something was calling her. Sensing that something was approaching them at a rapid pace, she stood up and stayed away from the walls. A strong wind blew upon them, and they were put on a full alert state.

"Don't go outside!" Chunhyang warned them.

Just then, the windows opened and a strong wind made its way inside their house. The wind spiraled right outside the house, resulting in a tornado. The house was greatly shaken, and all they could do was take cover. Everyone was protecting each other, but Nazaiya bravely opened the door to step out. They all gasped in shock.

"What are you doing?!" Chunhyang shouted.
"Nazaiya-chan!" Fai called out, unable to move.
"Hey, come back here!" Kurogane joined in shouting for her.

She didn't want to listen. The wind was strong, but she was unfazed. The wind greatly blew through her hair, and yet her eyes were full of determination.

"Spirit of the wind, I call upon you." Nazaiya looked up at the tornado, as if looking straight into its eyes. She then clenched her left hand and brought it upwards. "Bow down tome, and avenge your evil caller. You are now—," she opened her left hand wide, "free".

As if nodding, the tornado slowly faded into thin air. She looked up towards the place that the 'sender' was at, and smirked as the place was shaken by a huge and strong flow of wind.

Nazaiya then turned around and walked back inside the house as if nothing happened, before smiling to the surprised people in the house. Her nose slowly bled again, and she fell on her knees. Fai came to catch her, and he looked down at her worriedly. Smiling, Nazaiya closed her eyes and let out a contented sigh. "It feels nice to be in control..." she muttered softly, as her consciousness faded.

"Nazaiya!" Mokona shouted as it hopped near the two. "What happened to her, Fai?".
"Don't worry, she's resting for a bit now." Fai then looked up, realizing that there was already a hole on the roof. "That wasn't just any normal wind, was it?"
Chunhyang clenched her first. "No, it's not.". She looked up, taking a deep breath in. "Damn you, Ryanban!"

Back at Ryanban's castle, the crystal ball that was holding the feather in began to crack.
"Just now the wind was coming back at us, and now this?! Who the hell has such powers?!" he shouted.

"Why do I have to fix somebody's house?" Kurogane grunted, hammering the roof of the house with a frown.
"Because Chunhyan offered us a shelter for the night!" Fai answered happily, helping Kurogane by giving him planks of wood for the fixing.
"But it's amazing that she lives all alone…" the ninja wondered.
"Well, she said her mother died." Fai said, glancing over the mirror in the living room.
"Anyway, how long are we going to stay here?!"
"That depends on Mokona~ Sakura is still weak so Syaoran would be more than determined to search for the feather, you know…" Fai then sat down, drinking his tea.
"Where did they go anyway?"
"Out to spy on things, I suppose." Fai sipped his drink.
"Hey, why do I have to do this all by myself?! What are you doing drinking tea over there!" Kurogane scolded Fai, and the blond laughed.
"I just wanna see you work, Kuro-puu!" Fai said, waving at the ninja. "Don't be too loud or Nazaiya is going to wake up shocked!"

The blond then put his cup down and looked over the girl sleeping right beside him. He then went quiet, almost in deep thought. The time passed by with a gentle wind coming their way, and Kurogane's hammering noises. Before long, he was finished. He quickly jumped down and went in the house, putting down the hammer in annoyance.

"Seriously, if I had to do this again…." Kurogane sat down beside the tea tray and sighed. He looked over the quiet wizard, wondering. "Why are you so quiet suddenly?"
"You know Kuro-rin, if she didn't stop the tornado earlier, this whole house could eventually be destroyed." Fai said, looking at the ninja. "And then it'll be more work for you to clean up all the mess."
Kurogane glanced at the said girl. "She used her own powers when she knew she couldn't handle it. Might as well not use it at all."
"I don't think that's the case. She looks like she's good at controlling her powers, anyhow." Fai said, staring into an empty space. "But I do somehow wish there's a way for her to stop using magic for now…"
"Why is that?"
"Well that's something that only us, people with magic knows." Fai shrugged.
"Tch, you magicians." Kurogane grunted, and Fai smiled at him.
