AN: This is a complicated idea I started playing with and have a great deal done, but before I put myself through trying to make everything work out in the end, I want to know if anyone even actually likes it. Comments will probably determine if this gets updated or left alone. Also note that the Japanese used by Kuro is me trying my absolute best. XD Don't kill me if I'm wrong. Also contains the characters Chii and Freya from Chobits.

Warning: Will also contain spoilers about Fai's past.

Disclaimer:I do not own Tsubasa or the characters. Not getting paid and all that jazz.

Reservoir Chronicle:

-Double Trouble-

"—Me myself and… Fai?—"

"…ai!"

Everything was dark.

"…ai! W…k… up!"

Was someone talking to him?

"Fai! …up!"

Yes, someone was talking to him! Slowly the fuzzy dark feeling began to drift away and the fog in his mind began to thin. Specks of light began to blur into his vision before taking shape and actually forming real images of a dark room. As the fuzzy feeling lifted he could feel a dull throb of pain in his head, gradually increasing in intensity as things became clearer.

"Fai! Wake up!" He could finally hear the everything the voice was constantly saying in a hushed yell.

It took him a few moments to realize his wrists were chained together behind his back but other than that he was unrestrained. His eyes fluttered a few more times before he sat up and scanned his surroundings for the person calling to him.

Slightly dazed blue eyes met large alert blue eyes of the same intensity and his blood froze in his veins. Soft light skin framed by lovely golden strands, a little too short to be in a ponytail but too long not to tie back.

"Yokatta!" The mirror image of himself smiled in relief.

How was this possible? Fai was… but wait, hadn't this person called him Fai? If this was Fai then shouldn't he be calling him Yuui? Yuui was his real name. He'd taken Fai's name to use when he… A wave of nausea cut his thoughts short, sending him spiraling into darkness once more.

The magician slowly came to again seeing his double working furiously on something that was taking his full attention. Fai now noticed there were bars between him and his twin. Specifically, his double seemed to be working on the lock with heavy concentration and two slender metal tools.

"Don't worry Fai, I'll have you out of here in a few seconds…" The other said to him, sounding slightly worried. "I'm so sorry. This is all my fault, Fai."

Fai wasn't quite sure what exactly was his double's fault, but he didn't seem to have the strength to argue at the moment. His mouth wouldn't form the words he told it to. He must have a concussion. It would explain the nausea, the pressure, and the slightly spinning room.

There was a click and the door drifted open as the lock fell away. His double pushed in and scooped Fai into his arms.

"Forgive me, Brother. They thought you were me again. Maybe if I cut my hair they'll be able to tell the difference. You didn't do anything wrong this time." The double just kept babbling apologies as he hugged him tight. Finally he pulled back and looked into Fai's eyes.

"Are you ok?" He asked worriedly and held his brother's head still between his hands, looking deeply into his blue eyes. "How hard did they hit you? Do you remember who you are? You're Fai. Do you remember that? Do you remember me? I'm Yuui, your brother." The blonde double began to panic once more and Fai had to almost cover the other's mouth to make him stop. The sound was making his headache worse. His mind slowly processed the information he'd been flooded with.

"Yuui?" He asked with a slight slur in the name. How could this be Yuui if he was Yuui? Another wave of nausea hit him with a burst of pain and he fell into darkness again.

Sakura paced around in the police office with Mokona on her shoulder with an equally as concerned expression on his face. The door to their right opened and both jumped then looked expectantly at the officer who entered. He passed Sakura and whispered something into the officer's ear who was sitting at a desk. The man picked up the phone, said a few words that Sakura couldn't hear, then a soft alarm started to sound accompanied with flashing red lights lining the room.

"Ano…" Sakura tried to get the officer's attention and he turned to her as if he'd forgotten she was there.

"The man you were with that you identified as Fai has escaped." The man said flatly. "This isn't helping your 'mistaken identity' case in the least, Miss Sakura."

The green eyed girl's distress level jumped and she clung to Mokona in terror. Not only were they separated from Syaoran and Kurogane, but now Fai was missing! How could things go wrong this quickly? Sakura reflected on what had happened, trying to figure out if it could have been avoided…

They had only just landed in this world when several men in uniform turned a corner and attacked Fai in the alleyway. The blonde had gone down quickly, taking two strikes to the head by the strange club-like weapons, then cuffed. Sakura cried Fai's name when she saw him go down and then found herself cornered by three more men in uniforms. They restrained and cuffed her as well, taking her to the front office where they discerned that she was innocent of the crimes charged against the blonde. However, Fai matched the description of the culprit down to his unusual icy blue eyes. Everyone else in this country seemed to have brown or black eyes. Every now and then Sakura noticed a dark shade of reddish brown but most were generic brown.

She explained their situation to one of the men that seemed to be in charge and he said he'd check on Fai and question him when he woke. He was certain that this was the man. He'd been convicted many times before and always evaded capture. He explained that that was why they used such force to take him down. The man was so incredibly elusive that they couldn't take the chance.

This man, Fai, was a pickpocket and thief, managing to get away with every crime he'd committed. Eventually he stole from a few of the wrong people and everyone from the local mafia to the king himself was looking for him and offering high bounties for his body delivered alive. That last part, 'delivered alive', was one of the things that made it so difficult to capture him. They couldn't risk fire arms against the crafty thief because he was so slender and frail not to mention far too agile. Even the sharpest of sharpshooters could make a mistake at that speed and inflict a fatal wound.

"Bastard!" The man's cursing shocked Sakura out of her thoughts and she looked up with alarm. "We caught him! We finally caught him! And he still got away!" He snarled and chucked the phone across the room, hitting a wall and popping the speaker out and cracking the receiver.

The man in command turned to Sakura again and sighed. "If you give us your address we can get back to you the minute we have news on the slippery bastard."

Sakura shook her head. "That's no good… We're travelers. I don't have an address to give you." She said softly and Mokona nodded.

The man sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Ok, I can suggest a decent inn for you… two to stay at." He hesitated before calculating the pet into that. "What is that thing anyway?" He asked, pointing at Mokona.

Mokona bounced. "Mokona is Mokona!" He chirped.

"Right…" The man said and handed Sakura a card with a little map, address, and name of the inn on it. "That should be fairly cheap and close enough that we can contact you when we find something out about your… er… friend."

Sakura thanked him and walked out into the street, looking around and trying to follow the map to find the inn. She didn't know what she would do when she found it. They had no money, or any way to try to track Fai down, nor did she know how to find Kurogane or Syaoran. She felt so helpless but at least she wasn't alone like Fai was right now… wherever he was.

The girl turned a corner, looking down at her map instead of in front of her and bumped right into someone…

"Fai!" Mokona cried and the next thing Sakura knew, there was a hand over her mouth keeping her quite and the other pulled her by the waist around the corner. She looked quietly up into the wildly searching blue eyes that seemed to be scanning every inch of what they could see. He pulled her deeper into the alleyway before releasing her mouth and looking at her.

"How do you know my name? I'd remember such a lovely face." He said with a playful little wink before his attention was drawn to Mokona. "And what is that?" He gently poked one of the droopy bunny-like ears.

"Mokona thinks this isn't Fai." Mokona said and wobbled when Fai accidentally tugged on the ear as he jumped away.

"It can talk?!" He asked then was right back in place, examining the little meat bun-like creature. "Amazing! Is it some kind of rodent?"

Mokona huffed and shook his head. "No! Mokona is Mokona! Mokona isn't anything else but Mokona!"

"My apologize, Mokona." Fai said with a bright smile. "I am Fai."

Mokona bounced happily. "Mokona and Sakura!" Mokona introduced. "But Mokona and Sakura are looking for another Fai that looks just like Fai but isn't Fai." Mokona said as if all should make sense after his explanation.

Fai was confused for several moments and then blinked. "You're looking for Yuui, my twin brother? Are you friends of his?"

Mokona frowned. "No… Mokona and Sakura are looking for Fai."

Fai's eyebrows knitted together in confusion. Was there perhaps some kind of language barrier that they had hit? Maybe this little thing didn't truly speak his language and was just learning? Then again, he hadn't heard the girl speak at all. Were they foreigners? That would explain a few things. The girl's green eyes seemed to fit that theory as well as the strange pet and the inability for the little thing to articulate what it meant.

"Sakura-chan—May I call you Sakura-chan?" Fai began then interrupted himself to ask.

Sakura nodded. "Un!"

"Wonderful! Then, Sakura-chan, shall we discuss this over tea? I don't feel comfortable being out here in plain sight at the moment." Fai asked happily. When the girl nodded her approval he placed a hand on her back and guided her down the street, ushering them quickly back to a safe place that was a bit less open.

Kurogane growled and kicked the nearest tree. "Ch'kusho! Shiro manjuu! Omae wo korosu!" Kurogane continued to spew foul words, cursing Mokona and promises of death to the meat bun.

Meanwhile, Syaoran learned to tune out the tall ninja's profanity, unable to understand it anyway, for the most part. They were far enough away from Mokona that he couldn't understand any of what the ninja was saying. And that only seemed to anger the red eyed man further.

When Kurogane finally calmed down a bit he returned to the boy's side and asked something that he was sure was a question then pointed around them. Syaoran assumed Kurogane was asking if the boy had any idea which direction they should start walking in. The brunette shrugged and Kurogane started off in a random direction. Syaoran quickly followed and they began walking, hoping to find their way… somewhere. Every now and then Kurogane would unsheathe his sword and leave a mark in a tree indicating that they'd been there.

AN: It was suggested that I put a translation to what Kurogane said, so I will! ^^ From now on I'll try to add translations for the random Japanese words I use when writing. (If I remember) *Is a forgetful person* ^^;

Translation: "Dammit! White meat bun! I'll kill you!"

Other random translations:
Yokatta = Thank goodness!
