The next morning the three boys walked downstairs to find Kai already up and serving their customers. Sakura and Mokona sat at a table already eating some pancakes.

"Good Morning Princess." Syaoran smiled sitting next to her.

"Morning Syaoran. Good morning Fye and Kurogane."

"Eh." Kurogane said sitting down. Fye smiled. "It is a wonderful morning."

Kurogane looked over right as Kai walked up. "What can I get you boys?"

"Some pancakes sound really good." Syaoran smiled. "We'll just take a big plate of them."

"Okie-Dokie." She laughed walked off.

"Well good morning Kurogane." Seth said walking over. "How did you sleep? Good? Bad? Was your bed comfortable enough? Were you cold?" Seth asked getting in his face.

"My bed was a little lumpy." Fye smiled. Seth ignored him.

"Here are your pancakes." Kai said walking back over and placing the food down. "Can I get you any thing else?... Like Seth away." She said glaring at her dad.

"Now Kaida… Be nice to your father."

"Sure I will. When you stop pestering our guests." She sighed. "If you want I can show you around town later today."

"That would be great." Syaoran nodded.

"K." She smiled. "Come get me when you're ready to leave."

"Kai! We're ready to leave!" Fye called waving his hand like crazy.

"Hmm?..." She looked over. "Oh okay. I'm going now Seth."

"Take care." He called.

"K." She nodded. "Come on." She said leading them out of the shop.

After a long time of exploring the city the group collapsed by a fountain. "Well that was exhausting." Fye laughed.

"Shut up wizard." Kurogane groaned.

"Come on stop fighting you two." Kai laughed.

"I'm not fighting with Kuro-puu." Fye complained.

"Stop calling me by those weird nicknames!" Kurogane yelled shouting up.

"Oh sit down." Kai laughed putting a rice ball into his mouth. He sat down and ate it in a stubborn mood. "So then. Where do you guys want to check next?"

"Umm… Do you have any ruins around here?" Syaoran blinked.

"Um….. Hey Sar do you know of any?" Kai blinked looking at the cat that lay curled up next to her snacking on a rice ball.

"….. Yeah…. I'll show you guys the way." He nodded getting up.

"Thanks." Syaoran nodded.

"Can we finish eating first?" Kai wined. "Kuro-puu tell Sar to let us finish!" She wined clinging to Kurogane's arm.

"Hey!" He growled. "Don't call me Kuro-puu!"

"Aww. So you only let Fye call you it?" She wined.

"No!" He protested. "I…"

"Then let me call you something!" She wined. "I'll call you….. Ku-kun." She smiled.

"Uh…I…"

"And Fye is Fye-san….. Syaoran is Sa-kun…. Sakura is Sak-sa!" She laughed.

"Kai." Sar hissed. "Stop nicknaming them."

"Aww… Sar-san!" She wined.

"People don't like your random sugar rushes so go drink some water." Sar said.

"Okay." She sighed then walked out.

"What was that about?" Sakura blinked.

"….If she has too much sugar she goes a little hyper and crazy." Sar said indirectly. "Just give her a minute."

They all stared after her. After a minute she returned. "Sorry." She laughed nervously. "I guess I had too much syrup on my pancakes." She sighed. "Thanks Sar. You're always there for me."

Fye saw Sar look away sadly. "Well are we going then?" Sar asked standing up. "Let's go before it gets too late."

"Right….." Kai nodded. "Come on guys."

They arrived at the ruins. Syaoran blinked as he stared at the ruins. "Amazing." He was soon all over them exploring.

Kai laughed and continued to lean against a tree. "I'm glad you like them."

"Hey Kai…. How long have you known Sar?"

"I've known him as far back as I can remember. He came into our town shortly after me."

"Really…" Fai blinked.

"Yes. I was traveling in search of a place to stay and since Kai was kind I decided to make it my mission to watch over her."

"Heh. How does a cat like you plan to protect her?" Kurogane asked.

"By using my claws you stupid human!" Sar hissed.

"Be nice Sar!" Kai growled. "Sorry Kurogane."

"What ever." Kurogane shrugged.

"Come on lets explore." Kai laughed pulling Kurogane towards the ruins. "Come on Sar!"

"Right." Sar said running after her.

"Uhhh!" Kurogane blushed as Kai dragged him towards the ruins.

A while later the gang was heading back towards the restaurant. "Wow that's the most fun I've had in ages." Kai laughed.

"Glad you had a good time." Fye laughed. "I think I even saw Kirgy smiling a little."

"Yeah whatever. I can smile when I want to." Kurogane growled. "Now stop calling me by those stupid nicknames!"

"So Kai who gave you your nickname of Kai?" Sakura asked.

"Oh that would be Sar." Kai smiled. "He started calling me that saying it was easier and faster to say." Kai smiled. "Isn't he a smart kitty!?" She said picking him up and hugging him.

"Kai." Sar blushed trying to get out of her arms. "Well come on guys it looks like the sun is going down in a minute and we don't want to be outside when the Okai are out." She smiled in a serious way.

"Actually we're going to stay out for a little. Kurogane will take you and Sakura back to the restaurant and we'll return later." Fye smiled.

"Uh…. But the Okai." Kai protested.

"We'll be fine." Syaoran smiled. "We think Sakura's feather is out there with who ever controls the Okai."

"Controls…. You think someone controls them?" Kai blinked.

"Yes." Fye nodded.

"Come on." Kurogane nodded. "I don't want to miss out on the fighting." Kurogane growled.

"….Alright….Be careful…" Kai nodded following Kurogane.

"We will." Fye waved.

"Take care of Sakura for me." Syaoran nodded.

"K." Kai nodded. "I will." Then Kai and Sakura followed Kurogane.

Kurogane glanced up as he saw the sun almost down. "We'd better hurry before the sun is down."

"Right." Kai nodded spotting the restaurant.

Kurogane started walking. They were almost there when it was suddenly dark and a shadow tail hit them out of the way.

"You guys okay?" Kurogane asked getting up. The girls nodded. "Prepare to die." Kurogane said shooting forward towards the Okai.

"Die Okai!' Sar yelled clawing the Okai along with Kurogane.

"Come on Sakura." Kai said running towards the door. She was interrupted by a strange pink barrier. "What…" She tried punching it but nothing happened. She turned around to find they were surrounded by the strange pink barrier. "KUROGANE!" She screamed but he didn't seem to hear her as he fought the Okai.

"What happened?" Sakura asked looking around. "Kai look!"

Kai followed Sakura's eyes and saw a man in the shadows. In his hand was a….. white feather.

"My feather!" Sakura gasped.

"That's your feather?" Kai blinked.

Sakura nodded.

"KUROGANE!" Kai yelled banging on the barrier wall. But neither Sar or Kurogane heard.

"No one can hear you." A voice laughed in the bubble.
