The National library was incredible, beautiful, and packed with books, but the five travelers had no time to admire it.
They went up to the front desk. "Do you have a book known as the memory book?" Asked Syaoran.
"We do." Said a woman with short hair.
"May we read it, please?"
"I'm afraid not." Said the woman. "Many people in the past have tried to steal it. They were caught before they could leave, but no one wants to take any chances."
"But there are copies available." Said a woman with braids. "Allow me to show you to them."
"….No thank you." Mumbled Syaoran.
They went outside and sat in the courtyard.
"So what do we do now?" Asked Akane.
"There's only one thing to do." Said Syaoran seriously. "We have to steal it."
They all looked at in shock.
Then Akane grinned. "Now you're talking!"
They went back inside to start their search.
"This library is so nice." Akane commented. "If we didn't have to find the feather, I'd stop and read."
"You really like books, don't you Akane-Chan?" Sakura said sweetly.
"Oh yeah!" Said Akane with a grin. "If I didn't have tons of stuff to pay for on Piffle, I would have bought loads of books!"
Akane noticed Mokona, who was on her shoulder, had been pretty quiet.
"Hey Mokona. Are you- GAH!" That last part was because Mokona's eyes turned super creepy.
"Oh, we forgot to tell you, didn't we?" Said Fai with a laugh. "Whenever Mokona senses a feather, its eyes do that."
"Where's the feather, Moko-Chan?" Sakura asked softly.
"There." Said Mokona, pointing forward. They all looked in that direction; the only thing there was a wall and a couple of bookshelves.
"There's nothing there, Moko-Chan." Said Sakura.
Fai placed his hand on the wall and began to observe it.
"What the hell is he doing?" Asked Kurogane.
Akane was the first to get it. "Ah! Now I know!" She exclaimed, also putting her hand on the wall.
"You sense it?" Asked Fai.
"Yup. It's defiantly there." Akane confirmed. "But how to get in is another matter entirely…"
"Kuro-Sama!" Said Fai quickly. "Push this bookshelf!"
"Why?"
"Please do it!" Said Mokona, imitating Fai's voice. "I guess I have to." Said Mokona, switching to Kurogane's voice. "I can't say no to mommy!"
"But Mokona, I'm not mommy anymore." Fai remained Mokona. "Akane's mommy now! But I'm sure daddy can't say no to her either!"
Kurogane looked extremely pissed, turning red from anger and embarrassment. Fai noticed.
"Now, if you'll just direct your anger to this shelf over here." Said Fai pleasantly.
"Dammit!" Yelled Kurogane, ramming into the bookshelf. It moved, revealing a dark tunnel.
"You know, this is usually the part where someone says something inspiring before we walk down the creepy tunnel."
"I don't know what to say." Said Akane. "Best foot forward?"
Fai smiled. "Fine by me."
With the inspiration out of the way, the five travelers to hesitant steps forward as the entered the cave.
