I do not own Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles or any of the characters

Chapter 6- When snows falls on the Summer Day

It was quiet morning. Fiona and Kasey did not say much to each other. Not that there was any reason to blame them. They relived some horrible events last night. Events that chance their lives forever.

Kasey sat on her bed. Braiding her long black, she ponder on the conversion of the night pervious and what might the other Kurogane and Fai be thinking. Would they try to be more fatherly to them? If so, would she feel about that? Would it be a comforting feeling? Have a fatherly person to look up to, would be nice. Even a short while. However, a part of her did not want that. No only, it would be awkward. There was no personal ties between the visitors. Therefore, there was not much to expect.

Kasey looked at Fiona. It was clear that her mind, was not on the same subject. She was at her wardrobe. She was rummaging through her dresses. All the while, humming a merry a little tone. She apparently in a good mood.

"What are you so cheery about" She asked Fiona

"I have a date with Domeki" She replied

"About time" Kasey said with a smile

"What? What is that suppose to mean?" Fiona asked stunned

"There was no doubt he would say yes," Kasey answered

"Huh, you knew that all time. Why didn't say something"

"I did" Kasey stated, "I been encouraging you the whole time"

Kasey shook her head. She found humorous that, Fiona made it seem that Kasey was less supportive than she actually was. There was no ill intent in her thoughts. It probably she doubt it would ever happened.

"Anyway, what do think this dress?" asked Fiona. She pulled out a white sundress. She place it in front of her. In order, to give Kasey a better idea was it would be a fitting outfit.

"It seems to be fine"

"What about my hair? Should I leave it down?"

"That seems fine as well"

"Is that all you can say?"

"You know that I not the best person to ask" Kasey said in return

"I know," Fiona said "I wish you would find someone"

"Please," Kasey sighed

"I will stop on the subject," Fiona said, as she was putting on her dress, "However, eventually, it will happened to you, Kasey"

Once Fiona was finish putting herself together, the two girls headed downstairs. As they enter the dining room, they saw that their visitors. As while as Hideki and Chitrose. They were partaking breakfast that was already served. There was also a map of the town. They were try to figure, where to search for that magic feather.

"Oh, good morning" greeted Sakura

"Morning" Fiona said brightly

"How did two sleep, last night" asked Fai

"Very well, thank you" said Fiona

Both Kasey and Fiona took seat at the table. They then settle themselves with their plates. While proceeding to eat, Kasey could help to keep looking at the map. Finally, her curiosity got the best of her.

"Searching for that feather" she asked

"Oh, yes" said Fai, "We figured, that there is no better time to start than now"

"Any leads" she continue

"With everything that we learn yesterday," said "we figure that the library would be a great place to start"

"What makes you think so?" asked Fiona

"Well, you see the feather is draw to magic powers. If there are books with magical spells, the feather might have found its way there. On the other hand, there might have some records of thee feathers presence"

"How could there be any records of the feather?" ask Fiona

"We have experience time, where the feather arrived at the world way before us. Years or decades could be the span of time" explained Fai

"Well, there is a problem" said Hideki, who was sitting at the end of the table "We speculate where the library is. So, it will take some searching"

"It better than nothing" said Kurogane

"Where is the area that you think it might be?" asked Kasey

"Right here" Hideki point on the map. The location was not far from the house. It was an over growing forest. Kasey remember when she was younger, the adults would tell the children to enter the forest. Due to the danger within. However, that did not stop many attempting to go in to explore.

"Oh, I know that place. If you want, I can guide you" said Kasey

"Kasey" Hideki spoke with his finger drumming on the table.

"Look, I know I am in trouble. But, isn't more important to help them. If I able help them, why not?" Kasey spoke in return

"Then, Fiona could do it. She would know, since you two grow up together" Hideki pointed out

"But I" Fiona began

"What?" Hideki asked

"I have plans for this afternoon" Fiona told him

"Oh," he said

"I actually have a date with someone"

"Let her go on her date," Kasey interrupted "I am more than capable to lead them there"

Hideki sighed

"I guess, there is no point in arguing anymore. Kasey if you feel that you can help them. Then, you go ahead. But that does not mean, you are not out of trouble, yet"

"Fine," Kasey sighed

About a half an hour later, Kasey and the visitors was heading out toward the forest. It was quiet, as they walk along the path. The presences of Kasey could have create some tension. Alternatively, they could just waiting until they arrive the place.

That was until Mokana, when sat on Kasey's head. "Hey, Kasey, are there any monsters in the woods"

"Huh, no" she replied

"Then, why did you bring your sword" he continued to ask. Her sword was in its sheath, which was resting across her back.

Kasey sighed. "While there no threats in the forest, no one really has been in the old library. Who knows what might rest within, just dust and cobwebs. Or there a beast that had been settle in there for years. I would rather have a good sword by my side, in case there is something. No point going in unprepared"

Fai gave a small chuckle. "Well, doesn't that sound familiar? Right, Krugburger"

Kurogane groaned. Kasey could not tell. If he was groaning because of the nickname. Was it because Fai made a comparison between the two of them. She could not get a read whether he likes her or bot. Then again, it is still a little too early to tell.

"It does sound like him" said Mokana

He groaned again.

Kasey cleared her throat. Trying to get their attention, therefore, they can get them off the subject. "We are getting pretty close to the forest. However, the main way to enter the forest is little difficult pass through. There is another path in that direction" she said, as she pointed straight off the road. "If we use that path, we become closer to the center of forest at an easy pace. Then after that, we find a direction to travel in"

"Is that so," ask Fai

Kasey nodded. Sharon spoke, "well, whatever, gets to find the library faster that is way we should go"

Everyone appeared to be in agreement. Kasey once again took the lead. It was not long before they came to the path that Kasey spoke of. They followed for along for a while. Until, the group came to a fork in the path. Kasey had turned to the path on the right.

They made some distance into the forest. When Kasey, came to all sudden stop. She stared up at the sky.

"What is it? What wrong?" asked Kurogane

"Is it just me or has it gotten colder" said Kasey

"Huh" said Sakura

"Isn't in the middle summer," asked Fai

"Yes, I just am getting this overwhelming feeling that…"

In that moment, there was small white flakes. Slowly, they were falling from the sky. Kasey caught one in her hand. As she looked at it, a great deal of anger was raising. For, it was a clear sign that she was here.

With that, she ran pass to the group. She needed to get to the gate. The town is in danger. Kasey had to do something.
