Chapter seven

A new world

Syaoran was in nothing. Literally. He saw nothing but blackness.

As he tried to take it in, he saw a figure head in his direction. The figure came into view and he gasped: it was a perfect copy of him, except the copy had an eye path over his blind eye. The copy showed no shock that a version of him was there.

Then, without warning, the copy grabbed Syaoran's throat in surprise. He was so strong….. Syaoran felt his strength slipping away….

"Syaoran-Kun!" His eyes flew open and he came face-to-face with a worried princess. He reconized her; it was Sakura-Chan.

"Syaoran-Kun!" She cried again. He sat up, clutching his head. "…..I'm alright." He muttered.

"Did you have a bad dream?" Asked Sakura softly. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Sakura grabbed his hands and closed her eyes, mumbling,

"Frightening dreams, come out!

Come out from within Syaoran-Kun.

Good dream that is within me….pass into Syaoran-Kun!"

She paused for a moment. "Make Syaoran-Kun have nice dreams." She finished quietly. It was quiet for a moment.

"Lovebirds!" Cried two very loud voices. Sakura and Syaoran whipped around and saw a teasing Fai, Mokona, resting on Fai's shoulder, an annoyed Kurogane, and a disproving Akane.

"Fai-San!" She scolded. "Don't tease them!" "Why not?" Replied Fai with a grin. "It's way too much fun!" Akane sighed, amazed by the immaturity of her companions.

She walked over to the two blushing teens and thrust a pile of clothes into their hands. "Put those on." She instructed. "You need to look like citizens of this country."

It was then they realized Fai, Akane, and Kurogane were wearing different clothes. (A.N.: I'm not describing Fai and Kurogane's clothes because you know what they look like and I'm too lazy.)

Akane wore a black suit top and a red tie, with tight black pants and knee-length boots, complete with black gloves. She had let her hair out of its usual ponytail and it trailed down her to her shoulders and made her look older and more mature.

Sakura and Syaoran nodded and went to change. A few minutes later, they came back dressed in the clothes, though no one noticed them; it looked like Fai and Akane had gotten into an argument.

"Fai-San, what the hell!" Yelled Akane, wiping dark red lipstick off her mouth. "Why the hell would you smear that girlish crap all over my face?"

"Come on, Akane-Chan." Said Fai, almost seductively. "You should wear stuff like that more often; it makes you look much sexier."

Akane's face turned as red as the lipstick. "D-d- don't say stuff like that!" Stuttered Akane. "You'll make me lose my focus!"

Fai smirked; they both knew he'd won.

Then Akane noticed the two confused teens. "Oh, hey guys. You're done? Good, now we can get going."

Syaoran looked as Sakura, then at Akane. "Hey, Akane-Chan." He asked. "How come you're not wearing a skirt like Sakura-Chan? Isn't that what girls wear in this country?"

Akane gave him a hard look. "Can you see me EVER wearing a skirt?" She asked coldly. Syaoran hastily shook his head, slightly intimidated by the look in her eyes.

Fai rested a hand on Syaoran's shoulder with a sigh. "Don't bother, Syaoran-Kun. Mokona and I both tried to convince her to wear a skirt. I think saying a skirt would show off her womanly charms added fuel to the fire."

"Shut up!" Yelled Akane as Syaoran blushed.

"Don't we have somewhere to go?" Muttered Kurogane gruffly.

"Oh, that's right!" Exclaimed Akane. "We have to go to town!"

With that, the five travelers were on their way.
