"Thank you, Amy." Syaoran paused before saying, "You, it seems, are the top tip of the feather. You are light as air in your ability to float and flit from person to person, making you the most social of the five. You seem fickle to some and those people think they can see right through you. Those people are wrong. Although you easily get caught up in whatever's current you are a solid to those closest to you." By this time everyone was sitting in a crescent around Syaoran who stood and passed as he spoke. With nothing more to say Syaoran sat as well, facing towards us. There was silence as we each thought through his words, unable to find anything untrue about ourselves. Syaoran lay beck and stared up at the sky musingly. A warm gust of wind blew through the trees. Then Sienna screamed, all of our heads whipped around to her and Syaoran sat up, dazed. Upon Sienna's head sat a creature, leaning forward and staring upside down into her face. The thing was the size of a Chi Wawa and resembled a rabbit in its big feet, long floppy ears and white coloring. "Hi, hi, hi!" It chirped, "Have you seen any beautiful glowing feathers floating down around here? They belong to that cute girl named Sakura," at that the thing pointed vaguely behind it, "and she needs them back you see. Oh man this is frustrating! I feel like I'm sitting right on top of the feather but it is not there!" Here it paused to take a breath and Sienna screamed again, though in delight, not terror, and grabbed the thing from her head, cuddling it to her chest. "Oh my gosh! What is it? It's so cute!" It pushed away from Sie and said indignantly, "Mokona is Mokona!" "Psh! Mokona is a mushu bun." Said a dark voice from behind us.
Lauren turned , "What the he-" and stopped mid sentence when she saw the black figure from which the voice came. "Moko! Be nice! The girl did call you cute!" Said a light handsome voice, again from behind us. "Who said tha-" Just as Lauren had, Sienna froze when she saw the man who had spoken, a tall and fair man whose one eye twinkled, the other eye under a patch half hidden by his perfect blonde hair. I too had turned and seen the men who had spoken but the next figure I saw confused me, it was Syaoran, his face set but his brown eyes sparkling with intense interest. 'Wait! Brown eyes!' I thought to myself, "Syaoran only has one brown eye. And how did he get over there?' I turned back to see Syaoran, his double colored eyes hard, staring past his single eye colored double. I followed his gaze to find a beautiful girl, half hidden by the protective stance of the not-Syaoran starring sadly back. "Ok! What the bloody hell is going on here?" I yelled loud enough to even shut up the Mokona-mushu bun thing which had still been babbling. "They have come to kill me" Said Syaoran simply.
I could only stare at Syaoran. His face did not change; he did not say 'Ha, sorry that was a bad joke.' He only stood there, looking grimly at the tall, dark man. "I knew you would find me soon Kurogane," Syaoran said to that shadowy Kurogane, "but I only wonder what you have given up in order to do it." "It was nothing of mine that was sacrificed," Kurogane replied sharply, "but something belonging to the princess." "What?" Syaoran yelled, "Sakura what have you done? What have you given?" "Nothing I really needed." Sakura said calmly. "Sakura!" Syaoran said desperately. Seeing him so desperate made my heart crumble, apparently it did to Sakura too because then she stuck out her right leg, which was encased in a metal bracing. "I have given the use of this leg, it was unnecessary to me." Syaoran gaped at her. "Do not look at me that was Syaoran," the princess hissed, "I do not want your pity." Syaoran continued to gape at her. "We haven't you know." Said the fair man, apparently addressing Syaoran. I glanced at Syaoran and saw him unfit to speak, and so decided to reply myself. I cleared my throat and the fair man, whose gaze has wandered to Sienna, turned his attention to me. "What have you not done?" I asked, "Who are you?" The man seemed amused by my abrupt questions. "I am Fai," he said, smiling charmingly, "and I have not come to kill Syaoran. I have come to stop him killing you girls." This information seemed to reach Syaoran, who, with a look of pain on his face turned from the beautiful princess toward the strikingly handsome Fai. "I have already," Syaoran began but changed his mind, "Fai I already told them about the feathers, I explained everything!" "Not," said Kurogane, "everything. Much has changed since you left us and your original showed up. These girls must know the whole truth if they wish to survive." "Shaoran," Fai said, gesturing to the not-Syaoran, "would you like to tell them the truth?" Shaoran stepped forward and began to speak, "When I was young," he said, "too young even to remember, Fay Wong Reed, the man Syaoran told you about, took me from my guardians and held me in his base dimension, where he had developed the technology to clone people. He used this on me and as such created Syaoran, who, while he looks like me, has created his own personality. Syaoran was deposited in the country of Clow where he befriended and fell in love with the princess, Sakura. We now know that she too was a clone. After Syaoran left us in Tokyo we traveled to the country of Nihon, Kurogane`s home, where we once again found Syaoran and he killed his princess, the clone Sakura." Shaoran paused, looking first to my incredulous face, then to Syaoran, who seemed barely able to stop himself trembling. Shaoran started speaking again. "We wanted to save her," he said, "but the clone girl's soul was shattered. While we searched for her we found Sakura, the original princess." "And now I have decided to travel with them." Said Sakura. "But I thought," Syaoran stuttered, "I thought you were my Sakura! "No she is gone," Sakura said sharply, "and at your own fault."
