Tsubasa Introduction

Ever since I was small, I believed life would be exciting, like the manga I read. But as I got older, that belief began to falter. No amount of shooting stars could grant my wish. Until that day…

-:-:-

"Ahhh!!!" Yuki screamed as she fell into the pit created by the earthquake. It was dark, except for the stars. She wished as hard as she could to get home. That was when she realized she'd seen this place before. The pit she had fallen into, which was created by an earthquake in the middle of her soccer game, looked exactly like something from her favorite manga of all time: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles. Yuki knew the story by heart. But it wasn't even finished yet. The final battle hadn't been won or lost. No one except the creators knew how it would end. Of course, that was a comic, a manga. It wasn't real life.

Then why was she in a place that looked exactly like it? Yuki glanced down at herself and noticed that she had an outline. She had become a drawn character. It was the strangest thing, seeing herself drawn out.

After a few moments of ecstasy and joy, she began to wonder where she was traveling to. If this really was Tsubasa, or even xxxHolic, then she would end up in a world with no way of communicating with others or traveling home. As Yuki's mind was wandering, she landed… in front of Yuuko's shop!

It was exactly like the manga. This is so cool! Yuki thought as she walked to the front door.

"Um… are you here to see Yuuko-san?" a voice asked. It was Kimihiro Watanuki, the main character of xxxHolic. He didn't seem quite as tall in person. Yuki took note that his eyes were both blue; that meant she arrived before the spider story arc.

"As a matter of fact, I am," she answered. On the outside, she kept her cool, but on the inside, she was thrilled. She opened the door of Yuuko's shop and paused. "You're probably wondering what my wish is," she said as she stepped inside and Watanuki followed.

"Well, yeah."

"I'll bet you're thinking something along the lines of, 'who in the world would wanna see that lazy drunk?!' or something like that." Watanuki immediately became nervous.

"Who's a lazy drunk?" a beautiful woman stepped into the picture.

"Wow! Yuuko-san! You're even prettier in person!"

"Why thank you, Yuki-chan," Yuuko said. It didn't bother Yuki that this woman knew her name. It wouldn't surprise her if Yuuko knew her wish either. "Are you enjoying this world so far?"

"Yes ma'am!"

Yuuko chuckled, "That's good, because to grant your wish, you'll have to stay like this for quite some time." Yuki became slightly puzzled.

"I assume that means they didn't come yet and I'll be traveling with them."

"Yes."

"Uh, excuse me?" Yuuko and Yuki looked at the very confused Watanuki. "Doesn't anyone want to explain to me what's going on?"

Yuki laughed. "My name is Yuki. I come from a different world. My wish is to return to that world."

"And her price," Yuuko added, "is to not tell anyone what she knows."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Watanuki asked.

"That's for us to know," Yuki began.

"And you to never find out!" Yuuko finished.

Yuki knew that Yuuko meant her knowledge of what would happen in the story. she knew what would happen in the order it would happen. Her price was to not tell anyone this information.

A few days passed. Yuki stayed with Yuuko at her shop, helping Watanuki with his job. She was given a wristband by Yuuko. Anytime she was about to reveal information, it would shock her. The wristband was dark gray with a purple gem on it. Yuuko told her that it was also for communication.

One day, it began to rain. Somehow, Yuki knew that this was it. Her journey would begin. She saw Yuuko standing by the door in her elegant black clothes that showed she was the Witch of Dimensions. Maru and Moro were with her.

"Let's go Yuki-chan," Yuuko said. Yuki nodded and walked toward her. Maru opened the door and the rest of them followed. Yuki was a little reluctant about getting her clothes all wet, but she figured the others (besides Yuuko) were wet too so she shouldn't complain. She wore black shoes, dark jeans, a violet shirt with a black butterfly design, and a large black jacket. Her short black hair was getting soaked, but she didn't mind.

Everyone took their places and waited for the travelers to arrive. Yuki stood next to the beautiful Witch. She could hear Watanuki approaching. As the high school boy reached the shop, the sky deformed and two of the travelers arrived.

They were about Yuki's age, if not, a little older. The boy had brown hair and amber eyes. The girl he was clutching to his chest appeared to be sleeping. Her hair was a nice orange color. Syaoran and Sakura.

Yuuko and the boy, Syaoran, had a conversation. It was one Yuki memorized. It explained why the characters of the manga began to travel in the first place.

As if on cue, the other two travelers arrived. One was dressed in a large white coat. He was tall, with long arms and legs. He carried a staff decorated with blue crystals that matched the color of his eyes. His pale blond hair was wet. His name was Fai D. Fluorite, Yuki's favorite character. The other traveler was named Kurogane. He was dressed in black armor and a black cloak. He had a katana, which Yuki knew was called Ginryuu. His spiky black hair complemented his red eyes. Yuki knew he was strong, and had the same wish as her: to return home.

After the first encounter, which Yuki had already memorized from before, Watanuki came running out with the 2 Mokonas in his arms. One was black and the other was white. The white Mokona would travel with the characters of Tsubasa while the black Mokona would stay and act as a communication device.

"And one more thing," Yuuko said. Yuki realized that this was the part that would change the story drastically. "This girl will be going with you." Yuki walked toward the travelers and took her place. "She knows which world you'll be traveling to, when you'll travel to them, and what you'll do there. But, she is not to tell you any of it. The bracelet on her left wrist will prevent her from doing that. So with that final note, let's begin."

Yuuko drew her magic circle and the white Mokona got ready to swallow us and herself. Just before she did, Yuuko reminded Yuki, "Remember, it's the manga, not the anime."

"I know," Yuki said.

And so her journey began…
