"Thank you, I'll see you next week!" A girl with waist length black hair and amethyst colored eyes, cried out to the bookstore owner as she left the store clutching a book to her chest, "I finally have it, the final book of Tsubasa" She said before running off to meet her friend for lunch.

"Iaf!" a voice called out to her when she got to the park, Iaf turned around to see her best friend Alyx sitting under the sakura tree waiting for her.

Iaf walked over to her and sat down putting her bag down next to her "I got some food" she said smiling, Alyx looked up at her "cool, what's that?" she said pointing to the book in Iaf's arms.

"Oh…this is the final volume of Tsubasa, as soon as I get home I'm going to read it" Iaf replied hugging the book.

Alyx laughed "I guess that mean's that I'm going to hear about Tsubasa all day tomorrow right?" Iaf smiled "you know it" she said before she started eating an apple.

After lunch Alyx gave Iaf a present "here open it" she said handing the little box over "what is it?" Iaf asked unwrapping it.

"I found it at this wired store" Alyx said remembering where she got it from "the guy at the counter said it was really special, but I think he was just being silly" Iaf looked at her present it was a necklace that had a tiny metal one of Sakura's feathers on it, Iaf's face lit up "Oh thank you!" she said giving her friend a bear hug.

"No problem" Alyx said "I was a bit surprised to find it though because you know every merchandise of Tsubasa ever made and you have never mentioned this" she said pointing to the necklace.

"Hey your right I have never heard of a necklace with a Sakura feather on it" Iaf said scratching her head.

"Well let's go home" Alyx said standing up and stretching.

"Okay, sure" Iaf replied, putting the necklace in her bag.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

In front of Iaf's house Alyx stopped and turned around "I'll see you at school tomorrow kay" she said waving as Iaf turned towards her house, she waved back over her shoulder before she entered the house. Once inside Iaf went straight to her room, grabbed all her Tsubasa books, her mobile phone, a first aid kit and with still room for more and put them in the bag with the leftover lunch, after that she got changed into a long sleeved long dress that reached her ankles.

She decided to read her books in the tree house out in her favorite woods far away from her brother, she was about to go out the door when she remembered her necklace she just got off Alyx, turning around she grabbed the necklace and looked closely at it, it seemed to glow.

Iaf placed it around her neck and all of a sudden a light pink light erupted from the necklace and Iaf was surrounded by darkness.

"Where am I?" Iaf said looking around but seeing nothing, a voice floated out from the darkness and Iaf listened to the word that came,

"There are worlds full of criminals, worlds of lairs, worlds locked in constant wars…and you must live through them all."

"I've heard that before!" Iaf yelled at the familiar words she's read over and over again, "that's what Yuuko-san says to the group before they leave on their journey…so why am I hearing that?" Iaf said thinking she must have hit her head, not noticing it started raining.

She listened to Yuuko's voice to see where it was coming from.

"It will be a journey in which you won't know where you are nor how close you are to collecting all the fractured pieces of memory.

That said are you still determined to see it through?"

A new voice spoke up "yes!" 'That must be Syaoran' Iaf thought "the voices are coming from below, argh! It's raining!" she yelled pulling her bag over her head.

The voice of Yuuko grew louder "Sincerity and determination…no matter what a person wants to attempt, those are needed. And it seems that you are well provided with both, and so…you may go!"

All of a sudden the darkness surrounding Iaf disappeared and Iaf found herself falling through the night sky, "Aaah!" she screamed covering her face with her arms, I'm going to die, oh no hel- Iaf stopped falling.

She removed her hand from her face to find herself staring into a pair of confused blue eyes belonging to Fai, her favorite character out of Tsubasa who happened to catch her before she hit the ground.

Fai!? Now I know I hit my head Fai's not real, but the arms that are holding me sure feel real she thought slowly slipping into unconsciousness.

She put her hand on Fai's cheek "F-Fai?" she said before fainting, before anyone could do anything Mokona transported them to their first world.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

"So idiot, who is she?" Kurogane asked pointing at Iaf who was still unconscious, Fai shook his head "I don't know her" he said smiling at Kurogane, who grunted "she seems to know you"

"Still…it's a bit strange don't you think she appears right when we're transporting" Fai said shrugging.

Iaf began to toss and turn in her sleep "Maybe we should wake her up Kuro-puu" Fai said taking a few steps towards her as Kurogane growled at him, Iaf suddenly sat up right causing Fai to jump at the sudden movement.

She looked around worriedly "where is my bag?" she asked no one in particular not noticing the other two watching her, Fai spoke up "it's behind you against the wall, don't worry we haven't looked through it" Iaf turned around and grabbed her bag hugging it then she opened it up a little and grabbed out a chocolate bar and ate it.

She turned around to thank the others, "thank y-" she cut herself off seeing who had talked to her "oh my god, it's Fai and Kurogane" she said to herself, Kurogane growled "and who the hell are you?" he asked a bit annoyed that a stranger new his name.

Iaf blinked a bit surprised by the question "oh yer you don't know me do you?" Iaf said while laughing nervously, "my name is Iaf Aros, nice to meet you Fai-san and Kurogane-san" she told them smiling sweetly, Fai sat down beside her "how do you know mine and Kuro-tan's name?" he asked looking her in the eye's. Shit I can't tell them the truth just yet and Fai's an expert at lying and Kurogane is an expert at spotting lies what am I going to do? Iaf was in a state of mental chaos, she came up with a few idea's no.1 "lucky guess" she said grinning, Kurogane gave her a look that said 'you have got to be fucking joking' no.2 "I overheard the end bit of your conversation with Yuuko-sama" Kurogane growled "we said our names at the beginning of the conversation" Iaf laughed nervously again, this is my last idea I hope it works she thought before trying idea no.3 "I was born with a special power that allows me to know almost anything about a person just by hearing their voice" Iaf said more confidently trying to make it sound like the truth, Kurogane didn't know much about magic so he accepted that as the truth and asked a question he had been wondering for a while "what else do you know about me?" Iaf turned to look him in the eye, "I know lots and most you wouldn't want me to say out loud" Kurogane stared at her "enlighten me" he said with a scowl on his face.

Iaf smiled "your name is Kurogane Suwa, your from Japan, you serve Tomoyo-hime which is the person who placed the curse on you and sent you to the witch's place" Iaf explained with a smile, Kurogane was speechless, "Fai do you want to test how much I know?" Iaf asked him turning to look at him, smile still in place.

Fai just shook his head, Iaf saw that he looked like he was off in a faraway place thinking about something.

"Well I wish to borrow Mokona for a minute, where is he?" Iaf asked looking around, Mokona poked his head out of Fai's coat "here I am" he said jumping into Iaf's lap, "well hello Mokona, you don't mind if I call you that, do you?" Iaf asked standing up, Mokona shook its head "nope, Mokona like's Iaf-san so Iaf-san can call Mokona, Mokona" Mokona replied. Iaf gave Mokona a small smile then she turned to Fai and Kurogane "I'm going out into the hall for a sec" she said before walking out of the room.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Kurogane sat there staring at the door Iaf just walked out of "that's some power she's got, could you do that, mage?" he asked Fai, Fai shook his head "sorry Kuro-puu but I can't" and neither can she, she's lieing Fai thought to himself.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Out in the hall Iaf asked Mokona to contact Yuuko for her, when the projection came up on the wall Iaf curtsied "it's nice to meet you face to face Yuuko-sama, I'm sorry for dropping in unexpectedly" Iaf apologized, Yuuko smiled "so you're the one who dropped in on us earlier, are you?"

"Yes I am my name is Iaf Aros and in the world I come you guys are all book characters, I don't know how I got here and I don't know how to get back" Iaf explained to Yuuko who listened, "so in other words you're stuck?" Yuuko asked her, Iaf nodded "yes Yuuko-sama, don't take this the wrong way but I'm not going to ask you for help because I know how you work and my price is something I would never give up, I want to use my knowledge to help defeat Fei Wang Reed and help the real Syaoran, sorry for wasting your time Yuuko-sama but I think the others are probably wondering what I'm doing so goodbye for now Yuuko-sama" Iaf said walking back into the room holding the sleeping Mokona in her arms.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

When Iaf walked in the room Fai walked up to her and grabbed her arm "you lied, you don't have any special power I would be able to feel it if you did, tell me the truth" he whispered to her, Iaf became angry with him thinking he could do whatever he wanted, "who are you to talk about telling the truth your whole life has been a lie ever since your brother died and you tell me to tell the truth, take you own advise and start telling the truth" Iaf snapped in a hushed tone, yanking her arm out of his grip.

Fai's eye's widened in shock and pain at what Iaf had said and he let his mask fall, Iaf realized what she had just said to Fai and looked up to apologize, when she saw the look on his face her heart broke in two, she saw all the pain and sadness in his face before he looked away "I'm sorry then" he said before leaving the room.

Iaf stared at the door for a while before walking over to her bag, she saw Kurogane looking at her "I'm going to go to sleep" she said putting on the best smile she could manage, Kurogane grunted showing that he heard her and looked away.

Iaf curled up next to her bag and silently cried herself to sleep.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Fai came back about ten minutes after Iaf had got to sleep, he looked at her curled up form and sat down against the wall opposite her, Mokona bounced onto his lap and looked up at him "Why is Fai-san in pain?" he asked causing Fai to look at him, "What makes you think I'm in pain Mokona?" Fai said smiling a fake smile, "Mokona can feel what's in peoples hearts and right now Fai-san is in pain over something Iaf-chan said, right?" Mokona said jumping up to his shoulder, Fai nodded slowly.

Mokona told Fai not to be to angry with Iaf "Iaf-chan is feeling just as much pain as Fai-san right now and it's breaking her heart" Mokona whispered to Fai, Fai's eye's widened a bit in surprise.

Fai got up and walked over to Iaf to find her asleep and dried tears on her cheeks, he put his coat over her for the room was cold, when he placed it over her Iaf had subconsciously grabbed it and pulled it around her tighter.

Mokona jumped off of Fai and bounced over to Syaoran's still sleeping form and rubbed a face washer against his forehead, Fai smiled and walked over to them

"He doesn't grab Mokona!" Mokona started crying, Fai picked Mokona up "Oh it looks like he's up" he said seeing Syaoran looking at them, then Syaoran sat upright quickly "Sakura!" he shouted to find the girl was still in his arms.

Iaf stirred at Syaoran's outburst but didn't wake.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Iaf was floating in darkness again "where am I?" she asked herself will you be my master? A voice came in Iaf's head "w-who are you? Where are you?" Iaf called out to the voice, a purple orb appeared out of nowhere and hovered in front of Iaf before transforming into a girl about her own age, she had long white hair with light blue highlights that reached her knee's, she wore a black dress that reached her ankles and was barefoot I'm here and I'm a kudan. The girl said without moving her mouth, "A kudan?" Iaf asked her.

A kudan is your spirit, your protector and fighter, they can be used to help you do things and protect you against enemies. Will you become my master and allow me to protect you with my life? Iaf laughed "I hope it won't come to that but yes you can be my Kudan" The girl's face lit up "by the way what's you name?" Iaf added.

The girl looked at her feet I don't have one she said a bit embarrassed.

"Oh then I'll call you Alyx is that okay?" Iaf asked, Alyx nodded.

"From now on you're my friend okay?" Iaf said smiling, Alyx nodded again yes master Iaf laughed "don't call me master, just call me Iaf" she said still smiling.

Yes Iaf

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Iaf awoke with a start causing everyone to jump, "I'm sorry I scared you" she said rubbing her eyes.

Kurogane snorted "I wasn't scared"

Iaf smiled and looked down to see her blanket was Fai's coat, she looked at him to see him teasing Kurogane saying he was scared.

Iaf stood up holding his coat in her arm's tightly "miss we're about to go to sleep for the night would you follow me to your room" a black haired woman said to her, Iaf nodded and grabbed her back pack "yes of course Arashi-san" she said bowing a little,

"Wow I can't believe I missed the whole speech on the Hanshin Republic" she added to herself but Kurogane overheard "how did you know we were talking about that?" he growled at her, Iaf mentally slapped herself realizing she just threw her cover up story out the window.

"W-well y-you see I-I mean th-"

"I'm tired Kuro-pii" Fai cut in causing Kurogane to whip around and growl at him for the interruption and the nickname.

"Fai-san's right it's late let's get some sleep" Iaf said hoping it would make Kurogane drop the interrogation.

"This way" Sorata said leaving the room with Kurogane while Fai grabbed his jacket off Iaf without saying a word, then followed them with Iaf and Arashi behind him.

"This will be your room, miss…"

"Iaf"

"Miss Iaf" Arashi said opening the door that was next to her, Iaf looked inside to find a neat little room with a desk and a futon.

"good night guys" Iaf said to Fai and Kurogane who were being let into their room next door, Kurogane grunted and Fai looked at her for a few seconds before walking in the room, "thank you Arashi-san and goodnight" Iaf said bowing before walking into her room and closing the door.

Once inside Iaf went over to her window and opened the curtains to find a big tree outside her window, after a few minutes Iaf decided to go get some fresh air and time to herself, so she opened her window and swung out onto the closest branch.

After nearly falling out of the tree three time's Iaf had reached the bottom branch then looked at her window at the sound of a door closing.

She quickly jumped to the ground and ran off around the house without looking back up.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Fai knocked on Iaf's door quietly, "Iaf-san?" he said, and when he heard no response he opened the door to find the room empty.

Maybe I have the wrong room…

Fai thought looking around the room, spotting Iaf's back pack he confirmed it was her room so he went in and closed the door.

He walked over to the open window and looked at the tree, hearing a noise at the bottom of the tree Fai saw Iaf run off around the house.

"Hmm…"

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Iaf was a few blocks away from the apartments walking through a park thinking to herself, maybe I should ask Yuuko-san for help, I'll ask her for the power to travel though dimensions and I'll collect feathers and everything without the others and when I meet them next I'll give them the feathers I have then go to another dimension, anything's better then seeing the pain in Fai's eye's everyday and avoiding Kurogane's questions Iaf planned out what she would do sitting on one of the park benches, she was about to go back when two men sat down on either side of her.

What's a pretty lady like you doing here?" the one on her left said, "its something you can't do, its called thinking now go away" Iaf said standing up, the man on the right blocked her way "but we just want to talk isn't that right Steven?" the one named Steven laughed "yer that's all" he said also standing up.

Iaf smiled when a purple orb appeared behind the man blocking her way "really?" she said leaning against the bench "well I'm sorry but maybe another time" Iaf said and took off when Alyx hit the guy in front of her with a stick.

"Joey you idiot, how could a girl sneak up on you?" Seven shouted and ran after the girls with Joey hot at his heels, they were halfway through the park when Joey grabbed Alyx's wrist, "Aaah!" Alyx screamed when Joey grabbed her causing Iaf to stop and turn around, as soon as Iaf stopped and turned around Steven grabbed her too.

"Help!!" Iaf screamed kicking with all her might, "keep screaming and I'll cut your friend here" Joey shouted pulling a knife out of his pocket and putting it to Alyx's arm.

"No! Let her go!" Iaf yelled without realizing it, Joey cut Alyx's arm causing Alyx to scream.

Iaf screamed to for when Joey cut Alyx's arm the same cut appeared on her arm, after Joey cut Alyx's arm Alyx transformed back into a purple orb and floated into Iaf's body, Joey stood there shocked "you idiot that was her Kudan!" Iaf took this chance to scream again "Help me!!" Steve slammed his hand onto Iaf's mouth, muffling her screams, Iaf started crying and bit Steven's hand "ow! You bitch!" he turned her around and punched her in the cheek causing her to fall onto the ground, she quickly got up and ran for it but Steven grabbed her dress causing it to rip, Iaf half spun around and kicked him in the stomach, and then ran straight into Joey who grabbed her wrist's and put them behind her back "Please let me go" Iaf begged tears streaming down her face.

Steven got up and raised his hand to hit her again, Iaf closed her eye's bracing herself but the hit never came.

Iaf opened her eye's to see Fai standing in front of her with his usual fake smile on his face, "Fai!?" Iaf shouted happy to see him and a bit confused, then remembering Steven Iaf turned her head to see him against a tree unconscious, Iaf felt something cold touch her throat and went pale "come any further and I'll cut her throat" Joey said taking a few steps back, Fai raised his hands in defeat and Joey smiled, Iaf took this chance and elbowed him in the gut making him fall backwards, the knife scratching the side of her throat as she stumbled forward to Fai who grabbed her arms to steady her before she fell over.

Fai helped Iaf sit down against a tree and then walked over to Joey and knocked him out.

"Fai…what are you doing here?" Iaf asked panting, holding the wound to her arm.

"I followed you from your room" Fai answered squatting down to her eye level and putting a hand over her neck wound.

"But ho-" Iaf was cut off when she fell forward panting heavily due to lack of blood,

Fai gasped and held her steady before she hit the ground "Iaf!" he said gently shaking her, he picked her up in his arms and ran off to the apartments.

Iaf rested her head on his chest slowly slipping into unconsciousness, "Fai…I'm sorry" she whispered.

Fai stopped running, "for what?" he asked as it started raining, "for what…I said …about your bro…brother, I'm so…sorry, please for…forgive…me" Iaf said weakly before she fell unconscious.

Fai smiled sadly "I forgive you and the funny thing is you were right when you said that" he said then started running again.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

As soon as Fai got through the front door he called out for help "Arashi-san! Sorata-san! I need help!" after a few seconds Arashi and Sorata came into the room Fai and Iaf were in. "What happened? No tell me after you put her down" Sorata asked as Arashi went to grab the first aid kit, some fresh clothes and some towels.

Fai went straight up to Iaf's room and laid her on the futon before sitting down on the floor, Sorata sat down next to him as Fai told him what he'd seen.

"Probably some of the local thugs" Sorata said when he was finished, Arashi came in and handed Fai a towel before walking over to Iaf and cleaning her cut on her neck, when Arashi was bandaging Iaf's neck Sorata looked at Fai to see him starting to doze off "go to bed Fai she'll be fine" Fai looked up at Sorata's face "okay Sora-chan" he stood up and taking one last look at Iaf walked out of the room.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

The next morning everyone was having breakfast in the dining room while Iaf and Sakura were still asleep, "you should go look around today for the feather because you won't find anything in here" Sorata said getting ready to go to work, "right" Syaoran said finishing his breakfast, Kurogane just grunted and continued eating, Fai mumbled something and looked over at the stairs, Arashi saw this and spoke up "don't worry Fai-san, I'll look after Sakura and Iaf-san today, Iaf-san's injuries weren't fatal but she will probably sleep most of the day" Fai nodded, "what injuries?" Syaoran asked, Kurogane stopped eating but didn't look up.

Fai turned around to face Syaoran "well, last night Iaf-san-"

"Fell out of a tree!" A voice suddenly cut Fai off.

Everyone turned around to see Iaf standing on the stairs trying not to look to injured, "early this morning I got bored and went out to get some fresh air and I decided to climb a tree, about halfway up I stood on the wrong branch and fell out" Iaf lied rubbing the back of her head with a silly smile on her face, Kurogane snorted "you deserved it, what idiot would climb a tree for no reason" Fai was about to say something to him when Iaf cut him off again "your right I'm an idiot but I seem to remember you used to climb tree's when you were young" Iaf said smiling a little, Kurogane turned to face her with shock written all over his face, "well I better get back to bed hope you find the feather" Iaf added, ignoring Kurogane's stares she turned around and walked back upstairs.

Closing the door to her room Iaf sank to the floor with her back against the door "that took to much energy, I shouldn't have gone down there…" Iaf started crawling back to her bed "but they can't worry, they need to concentrate on the feather." She said before falling asleep.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

After lunch Arashi went into Iaf's room to change her bandages over and found Alyx standing next to Iaf who was still asleep, sensing someone else in the room, Alyx turned to face Arashi her face angry and in pain "stay away from my master" Alyx said getting ready to fight, Arashi held her hands out "I'm not here to hurt her, I'm here to change the bandages" she said pointing to the bandages on Iaf's arm and neck.

Alyx looked at the bandages and then back at Arashi "fine" she said before transforming and disappearing into Iaf's body.

Arashi stared at Iaf, "it would seem you have a Kudan, Iaf-san"

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

Iaf slowly opened her eyes, she turned her head to see some food on a plate next to her bed.

Slowly sitting up Iaf grabbed the plate and sat it on her lap, looking out the window she saw the sun going down, the other's must be back by now she thought while taking a bite.

After she was finished Iaf got up and walked over to the window, I should ask Yuuko-san for that wish now, but what if- Iaf's thought's were cut off when a voice came from behind her "I hope your not planning on going out again?" Iaf turned around so fast she had to grab onto the window sill to stop herself from falling over, the voice belonged to Fai who was standing in the doorway with some bandages.

"No I wasn't, I was watching the sunset" Iaf lied turning back to the window, behind her she heard a soft click and calculated that it was the door closing, "Arashi-san asked me to come and change your bandages" Fai said behind her, Iaf turned and nodded sitting on her bed.

Fai gently grabbed her arm and started undoing the bandage already on it that was dirty and bloodstained, Iaf winced when the bandage came unstuck from around her arm and the dried blood on it made it look worse then it felt, Iaf heard Fai gasp and turned to see his eye's on her wound, his face in shock "what? Is this the first time you've seen this?" Iaf asked putting her other hand over her arm covering the wound, Fai nodded "the only time I saw this…" he gestured to Iaf's arm, "was when I found you in the park" he said gently grabbing her arm closer to the cut, Iaf flinched at the sudden touch near her sore.

"I'm sorry I don't remember much of that night, the last thing I remember was you saying you followed me, and by the way how did you know I was gone?" Fai looked away, his hands stopped working on the bandage "I came to your room last night because I wanted to talk to you about what you said about my brother" Iaf felt a wave of guilt rush over her "I'm sorry" she said looking down at her hands "I know" Fai said resuming his work on the bandage, Iaf looked up "what do you mean you know?" she asked a bit confused, Fai smiled "you told me that last night when I was bringing you home" he told her putting the clip on the bandage "you said it right before you passed out" he added picking up the other bandage, Iaf felt heat come into her face and turned away "I can do the other one by myself, you go to sleep it's getting late" she said noticing how dark it was outside.

Fai stood up "goodnight then" he said before walking towards the door "goodnight…and Fai?" Fai stopped his hand on the doorknob "yes?" he said without looking back "thank you" Fai turned around but Iaf was facing away from him so he opened the door and left.

Iaf held back the tears she knew were coming why? Why does he have to be so nice? I hurt him and he just smiles and even saves me when he could have left me there, I…I need to go otherwise I'll end up hurting him again and the others Iaf grabbed her back pack and waited a while before she snuck out of her room, she was halfway down the hall when some one called out to her "where do you think your going?" Iaf spun around and came face to face with Kurogane, who was not happy by the way (one of the perks with sharing a room with Fai) "I…I have t-to g-g-go somewhere" Iaf said feeling very small at the moment, "where?" he asked again more forcefully, "away!" Iaf said out load before slapping her hand over her mouth.

Iaf looked at the stubborn idiot in front of her "look I need to leave otherwise bad thing could happen-"

"Bad things? What do you mean?" Kurogane turned and saw Fai and Syaoran standing behind him with confused faces.

"Umm…I have to go" Iaf said and took off down the stairs crying, she was almost out the door when a hand grabbed her bag "let go of my bag!" she shouted swinging her fist around to hit whoever grabbed her, before her fist hit her target it was caught and her bag came undone and one of the books fell out, "what's that?" Syaoran asked as Iaf pulled her arm out of Kurogane's grasp and grabbed the book holding it tightly to her chest "it's a book, duh" Iaf told them "look you need to understand that I can't stay here or maybe not even in this world! If I stay here your not going to stop asking questions and I'm probably going to let something slip that could change the future" Iaf looked down at her feet, "change the future? You know what happens in the future? Fai asked, Iaf nodded "just the future of this quest, this is why I need to go somewhere else, somewhere where I can't be a bother to you, but I told Yuuko-san that I wouldn't ask for her help" Iaf started glowing pink at her chest.

"Your not!" Fai shouted, Syaoran nodded "Fai –san's right" he agreed.

Iaf smiled the glow in her chest growing brighter "Mekyô!" Mokona said pointing to Iaf "Iaf has a feather?" Syaoran asked Mokona who nodded "it is a very faint, but it's definitely a feather"

"But I don't have a feather" Iaf said "the feather in this world is inside a kudan" everyone looked at Iaf "you mean you knew where the feather was this whole time" Kurogane growled as Iaf put her hand over her mouth her eye's full of shock "see this is what I mean, I will let something slip and it could change the future, I mean you found this out a little while ago, right?" Iaf said to herself, she shook her head and looked at the others again "I have to go now" she said as her feet started fading away "Iaf!" Fai yelled taking a step forward, "I'm fine, but Syaoran, Mokona will be able to sense the feather when the Kudan is at its strongest point, but don't just go looking for strong kudan because strength doesn't always mean power" Iaf told them half her body almost gone "but why leave?" Fai asked. "Because I don't want to hurt you!" she yelled tears falling down her cheeks, "I don't want to hurt any of you, I'm sorry…goodbye" was the last thing she said before disappearing all together.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
