Disclaimer: I do not own anything of Tsubasa Chronicle, Tokyo Babylon, X, Card Captor Sakura, or any other works, which I might use - all worlds and characters belong to CLAMP; I am just using them to play out some of my speculations.

Note: I know I am screwing with canon, but I don't want to screw canon too badly, so Kamui seems to be pushed in the far background here. He will probably have a much more prominent role in the next chapter when we go to the next world, but we'll see. In any case, some of you might recognize what they're saying at the end because the words come straight out of the scanlation of the manga.

Warning: Plenty of speculation based on the mind screwy twists and questions which Tsubasa Chronicle and xxxHOLIC left behind.

THANK YOU FOR READING "THE OTHER TWIN"!!!

"Can any of you tell me in which world we are?"

"This world is called Infinity," Sakura answered Kamui's question. "Here, we fight in the tournament to obtain the price."

"Which is the feather?" Kamui asked. "Then I'll fight alongside you, I can help -"

"That's not possible," Syaoran interrupted him, explaining, "we already entered the tournament and this is the final battle; you cannot enter anymore." He gave Kamui a small smile. "It's alright, we will certainly win."

Kamui looked at the boy and saw the utmost determination in his eyes. It was the same determination that the other Syaoran had shown back when they had met in Acid Tokyo, but this Syaoran before had not lost his heart yet as the other did.

"If I cannot enter," Kamui said, "then is there anyway in which I can help?"

"You will watch Mokona," Sakura told him. "And you will pray… for the future."

Kamui looked at her and once again he noticed the drastic change she had undergone since she woke up and saw the other Syaoran leave. She had the eyes of a mature woman, despite that her age was that of a girl in her early teens. She was definitely a different person than Sakura, the Card Master, even if they shared the same soul.

Kamui nodded. "I will do as I can," he said and he watched the group leave for the tournament as the white bun-creature Mokona jumped on his head.

"Let's wait for them," Mokona said, "Everything will be alright. I know that they can win."

And so Kamui waited…

…waited…

…and waited…

…until he heard an ear-piercing scream of insanity rip through the entire of Infinity.

"Fai!!!" Mokona cried out. "That's him!! What happened!??"

Kamui grabbed the little creature and ran with speed, faster than a human's eye could see, into the direction of the scream, where the tournament should be in full motion.

What was going on?

Kamui remembered distinctly that the mage had an incredible magical strength. Even if that strength was halved due to the loss of one eye, he still had an enormous amount of power left. And he also had the vampire blood flooding within him. Fai could not possibly be harmed…

Kamui arrived just in time to see a horrible scene displayed in front of him: Fai piercing Sakura's frail body with a bloody sword.

"SAKURA!!!!" Mokona screamed. The creature tried to struggle out of Kamui's grasp, but Kamui held it firmly in place. There were greater powers playing here, he could sense it, and he would not let the little Mokona harm itself. Kamui watched as Fai pulled the sword out of Sakura's body, still raving like a madman, but then the blond hitched with his breath caught in his throat. It seemed as if the mage was staring at a ghost, or something of the likes, his eyes were focused on something immaterial. At the same time as Kamui noticed this, he could feel that Sakura's spirit had left her body.

Is she dead?

Kamui could sense the trans-dimensional paths opening up, connecting two - or maybe three…? - different worlds together. He could definitely sense the first world that was connecting to Infinity, but the other… maybe that world was not of the material kind? A spiritual world? Regardless of that, Kamui realized that before he even had the chance to travel with the group, one of its members was already gone. The body of Sakura was transported to the first world, the physical one; and a spiritual presence, which Kamui supposed was Sakura's soul, left for that other non-material world.

"No… Sakura…" Mokona whimpered in his arms.

But the danger seemed to be gone now, and so Kamui felt that it was safe to step out of the shadows. He did not think it wise for him to say anything, so he remained silent. Just letting the others know that he and Mokona had seen everything was enough. Fai slumped and sagged together on the ground.

The men, carrying the mage, left the battle arena in silence.

Upon returning to the quarters where the group was temporarily staying, a person that was not supposed to be able to contact them, did just that. From the red jewel on top of Mokona's head, a bright light glowed and then a familiar face showed itself. "The princess is inside here," a female voice said.

"Yuuko!" Mokona exclaimed. Kamui stared at the woman with wide eyes.

The woman was not dead… Kamui had not travelled through time, yet he had landed in the past.

He distinctly remembered Watanuki speaking of the past, present and future. The laws of reality were blurring, and soon reality would crumble and all that was would be no more. Judging by his meeting Yuuko, Kamui figured that reality was already starting to fall apart. But there was something even more important that he remembered - Watanuki was right.

Watanuki, you will meet Yuuko again, won't you?

The look in Kamui's eyes softened slightly as he thought of this.

Because everything happens for a reason and all is inevitable.

"Princess Sakura's soul is currently inside a dream," Kamui heard Yuuko say. The woman held up something that looked very much like a tube, but was in fact the dream-dimension. "This is what she wished for."

A wish… Kamui looked at his companions. Everyone here has a wish… and the Witch… Yuuko and Watanuki… they both grant them.

His wish was to find his twin Subaru. If Sakura's wish could be granted, then surely Kamui's wish could be granted as well, couldn't it? Suddenly, Kamui knew for certain within his heart that he would meet Subaru once more. Yuuko or Watanuki, it didn't matter, Kamui trusted the Witch's abilities. Meeting Subaru was inevitable.

"I have a request…"

Kamui looked up to see that the conversation had moved on again. He stared at Fai, who had stood up from the bed he had been lain on, wondering what kind of request the blond vampire-mage had.

"There is a price," Yuuko warned, but Fai looked like was ready to fork over whatever was required.

"My right eye," he said without hesitation. "Make all that this eye can see the price."

"With that price," Yuuko looked at the mage intently, "what is that you wish?"

Kamui's eyes darted back to Fai, who stood there confidently as he answered: --

"To return to Celes."

SO THEY'RE OFF TO THE NEXT WORLD!!! AND TO MAKE THIS EVEN MORE EXCITING, A SECRET WILL BE REVEALED TO KAMUI IN CELES... PLEASE SUPPORT AND REVIEW!!!
