I love all of you guys!

That night, we gave Sakura her feather and the next morning we looked for a secluded spot to leave. We decided on a rocky area.

Looking at the scenery, an image popped into my mind.

"You don't think…" I muttered, then I started to scramble up the slope.

"Wait, Luca, where are you going?" Syaoran called.

After a few minutes, I came upon the summit and stared in wonder. Within the crater of the mountain was a glistening lake. I recognized it as the lake from Mew Two Returns, as the lake with healing water.

"No way!" I gaped, scrambling down to it. On a whim, I knelt down, cupped some water in my hands, and drank it. My arm started to tingle and the others, who had followed me, gasped as I unwrapped the bandages, and they saw that it was healing. An idea struck me and I dug a glass vile necklace out of my bag and filled it with the water. (You never know when it could come in handy,) I thought as I looped it around my neck.

We decided to transport where we were. Mokona was beginning to open the portal when a thought struck me. "Wait!" I said, grabbing it. "What about our Pokémon?"

The others stared at me blankly.

"Well, we can't just leave them here and we can't take them with us. Oh, I know! Mokona, can you connect me to Yukko?"

"Sure," it replied, the gem on its head glowing and projecting an image. It was fuzzy at first, but suddenly a clear image of Yukko appeared.

"I was wondering when you would call. Hello Luca-san." She said calmly.

"How do you know my name?"I asked, wide-eyed.

"Oh, I have my ways." She replied with a laugh.

"Anyway, I have something to ask you." I said, shaking off my surprise.

I went on to explain how I ended up with the gang, that we needed her to store the Pokémon, etc.

"There will be a price. That necklace for example." She said when I finished, pointing to Elliot's necklace.

"You know that this is too great a payment for our needs."I growled, giving her a glare.

"You know me so well." She said with a smile.

I walked over to my bag and pulled out an ornate jade headdress.

"How about this? It's an old family heirloom."

"That will do."

After secretly planting a kiss on Rio's Pokeball, I had Mokona swallow the stuff and watched it pop up on the other side.

"Make sure he takes care of them or I'm going to come over there and kick Watanuki's butt." I threatened.

"Why is it always me!" I heard him cry as the picture faded.

Sakura turned and froze.

"Um, guys? I think we have a problem."

We all turned to find a very stunned looking Zero watching us.

"Oh great." I mumbled.

We then had to explain everything to him. When we were finished, his jaw was on the ground, but he believed us.

"I guess you have to go now." He said, sounding kind of sad as Mokona prepared the portal.

The tendrils' sprang up as he turned to leave.

"Zero!" I called out to him.

He turned towards me and I held out my fist, grinning deviously.¹

Zero smiled and held out his fist in return.

Then the last of the energy tendrils wrapped around my face and he was gone.

Luca :(inside the portal) OK, this is weird.

Kurogane: ZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Luca :(Turns to Fai) Is that normal or just him?

Fai: ZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Luca: Guess it's normal.

(Yawns and falls asleep.)

Mokona: Please review and ask.

1: To those who are confused by this, I'm very sorry. It's basically the same thing Syaoran and Ryu do just before Syao leaves Fairy Park.
