The next night, Kurogane sat on the floor by Fai's bed. The mage still didn't wake up, but after he collapsed he started to breathe a little better, so the ninja decided not to take him to the hospital, but to just look after him himself.

Kurogane didn't leave his side all night or the next day, he was worried that he might take a turn for the worse and die. He didn't even take a second to fall asleep, he just sat there and monitored Fai's breathing. He would occasionally stoke Fai's hand or move a piece of hair out of his face, but that was about all the movement he did.

After the mage rested for a few hours he started to regain his color, and that made Kurogane feel a bit better.

He was about to reach over and grab Fai's hand when he heard the squeak of the door. He looked over to see who it was and saw that it was Syaoran. "Kurogane-san.." Syaoran said quietly, as if he didn't want to wake Fai up.

The black haired ninja just looked at him and waited for him to speak. "I have some news...Mokona told me that he sensed another feather in this town..." He stated slowly and quietly.

Kurogane knew why Syaoran would come in and tell him on his own; he needed help looking for it. He looked back at Fai. "I will help you. But only when I know the wizard will be okay." Syaoran nodded.

"It's fine..I understand. I can look for it myself in the morning. But I just wanted to discuss where you may think the feather might be. I was thinking that since Mokona couldn't sense it before, maybe another demon has it." The ninja glanced back over at Syaoran.

"You may be right, Kid." Syaoran nodded again and turned around to leave. "Get some rest, Kurogane-san." After he said that, he left the room.

"Yeah..." Kurogane looked back at Fai when Syaoran left.

Later that night, everyone fell asleep at a late time. Everything was going downhill, and it seemed to not be getting better any time soon. Inside Sakura's room, the young princess slowly opened her eyes. She looked out into the darkness. There was something wrong with her though, her eyes were a dull green, blank; it held no emotions at all. She moved her body slowly off the bed and crept across the floor. Nothing fazed her, not the smoothness of the carpet, not the chill of the outside air, not the rough rocks beneath her bare feet.

The feather was attracting Sakura to it, which meant it wasn't that far. The girl started following its trail without knowing what dangers lie ahead.
