Let's have tea!
Sakura and invisible Kurogane climbed the stairs that leaded into the castle. Sakura passed by dead bodies only Kurogane could see, and he started to wonder: how many years had this manjuu been sending people in this dimension?
And would he be able to escape it?
Bah, of course he would.
Eventually, they arrived to a large room where Shaolan and a fair-haired man where playing chest.
"Aha!" exclaimed the mage happily after moving a peon. "You're done for!"
"But Fay-san", said Shaolan with patience, "the peons don't move that way. I think you're confusing this game with another one."
"It might be", said the blond-haired mage happily. "Could you explain it to me again?"
"How comes the boy isn't asleep?" wondered Kurogane aloud.
The Mage seemed a bit surprised. Then he turned around and saw Sakura standing at the door.
"Well hello there!" he smiled. "Why don't you knock at the door and come out with a who's there joke?"
Sakura blushed. "I'm… I'm not sure how to do that, Mister Mage."
"Oh, please, call me Fay."
"My pleasure", answered the princess. "My name is Sakura."
Shaolan had stood up in emotion.
"So you're the princess he'd been talking about", say the Mage with a weird little smile.
"I guess we know what comes next", thought Kurogane.
"What about a cup of tea?" asked Fay happily.

They ended up with three cups full of chocolate and scones.
"That's delicious Fay-san", complimented Sakura. "Did you make them?"
"Of course", said the mage, "as I don't have much more to do."
"I sure would love to learn how to cook", said the princess with a blush. "I'm not very good at it."
"You're not a bad cook either!" exclaimed nicely Shaolan. Fay chuckled.
"So much love", sighed Kurogane. He looked warily at the scones. Although those were too sugary for his taste, he was getting a bit hungry. Was there nothing to eat in his realm?
"I could teach you", said Fay with a bit of hope. "I could teach you how to make those or everything else you'd like to cook."
Kurogane couldn't help but to feel a bit sorry for him.
Sakura put down her cup of chocolate.
"I'm… sorry Fay-san, but Prince Shaolan and I will have to leave eventually…"
Kurogane had expected the mage to seem saddened, but he smiled widely instead.
"Eventually? Does that mean you're going to stay with me a bit?"
Now Kurogane really felt bad for him. And then he felt angered because he had felt bad for that creepy blond.
"Well, why not?" said Sakura. "I could sent a message to my brother to say we're staying a bit. Plus, we'll have to free Kurogane-san first."
"Oh", said the mage. Kurogane would have sworn his blue eyes had glimpsed at him.
"Who's Kurogane?" asked Shaolan, confused.
Kurogane grunted.
"He's your godfather fairy", answered Shakura. "The one who wasn't there when Yuuko-san and Hinoto-hime granted you they wishes".
"My, that's a quite rude thing to do", said Fay with a mocking smile.
Kurogane sighed. Stupid blond guy. He was quite convinced now the mage was aware of his presence.
"Actually, he's not that much of a fairy", added Sakura for herself. "He'd rather fight than cast spells."
"Of course!" grumbled said fairy. "I'm a man! I fight fairly, not with those women sparkling things!"
Fay seemed amused.
"He seems fun", he said. "But he'll have to get out of where he is by himself."
"Will he be all right?" asked Shaolan (much to Kurogane's surprise).
"Of course."
Now, Kurogane just knew the mage had lied.
