Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles Lost Story.

The intruders in the darkness

Night had fallen in the new world Fai, Kurogane, Sakura, Syaoran, and Mokona had landed in. They had retrieved Sakura's newest feather without any major fights over it. Not that anyone was complaining. They all had decided over dinner in the inn that they would get a good night's sleep before traveling to the next world.

Fai sat wide awake on the couch. On top of Fai was a thin blanket that was made from the inn keeper. Fai looked out the window to see the moon glowing brightly like a lamp in the sky back at him. His right eye changed from his normal yellow eyes to the eerie glowing yellow of a vampire. Due to having the blood of a vampire called kumui and his companion Kurogane coursing through every inch of his body he never slept normally at night also because of his nightmares of Ashura. But having Kurogane's blood in him made it so he could feel Kurogane's presence this made Fai feel at ease. Fai gave a happy sigh as he felt Kurogane's calmness flow into himself. Fai glanced around the room to make sure everything was alright out of habit.

Sakura slept soundlessly in the only bed in the room. The bed had a rap around curtain which was pulled around to give her privacy as she slept. Syaoran slept with his back against the wall next to Sakura's bed. Fai smiled because Syaoran always slept like that protecting the one he cares about the most.

Fai glanced over at Kurogane who as usual had fallen asleep while fighting with Mokona about dinner. Kurogane had Mokona in his hand that rested on his knee. Fai could see the shine of the metal arm that he now had.

Fai silently cursed himself. His comrade had sacrificed a lot for him. Like the time they met the real Syaoran and soon discovered that the one that they had come to know was a clone. Fai went to go fight the clone but because he had become such good friends with that Syaoran Fai hesitated to harm him. That cost Fai dearly, the cost his left eye. Fai gingerly touched the eye patch that covered his missing eye. The clone Syaoran had eaten Fai's eye and had gained its power. Kurogane had stepped in just in time to stop clone Syaoran from eating Fai's other eye. Later Fai was on the verge of death when Kumui of the vampire twins and Kurogane found a way to save his life. Kurogane mixed his blood with Kumui and had it drip into Fai's mouth changing him into a vampire.

Then there was also the time in Fai's home country Celes country. They had to go a retrieve Sakura's body. The king Ashura had broken threw Fai's sleep spell and was going to kill him. Kurogane began to fight Ashura and killed him by stabbing him through the chest. But due to the fact the Fai had a curse but on him the world he knew began to collapse because Fai did not kill the king himself. Fai had used what little magic he had left to try and get his friends out of the crumbling world. Fai had only enough magic power to get Syaoran and Sakura out safely. But he did have enough for himself and Kurogane. Then a beam of light came from where Syaoran and Sakura hovered above what was left of the country. Kurogane had tried to pull Fai with him. But Fai had told him to go without him. Then the next thing Fai knew Kurogane had cut off him arm off in exchange for Fai's life.

Fai grits his teeth and griped the blanket over him.

'Maybe,' Fai thought 'maybe it's best I don't travel with them anymore. If I stay with them I might just bring them more pain and suffering'.

Fai thought it over for a moment then shook his head vigorously as if to dispel the dark, sad thought. He knew better than that he couldn't travel between worlds without mokona's help. Also nobody could understand him without Mokona. But then again Kurogane wouldn't let Fai get very far, if he left Kurogane would quickly catch up with and surly he would beat Fai up for real. Fai smiled at that thought.

Fai laid back down on the couch and but his arm over his head and thought.

'Should I tell them? Should I tell them that I've had strange feeling ever since being in Kurogane's home country? And…..' Fai looked over at Kurogane again and his heart began to beat faster 'why do I have these feeling for kuro-sama?'

'Besides I can't leave Kurogane's side because if he dies then I die to. Besides who else would keep him under control'. Fai smiled at the thought

Suddenly Fai had a shiver run down his spine and an eerie heavy feeling settled over Fai. Fai looked frantically around the room. Nothing in the room had changed everyone was still sleeping soundlessly, as if nothing had happened.

'Am I imagining things?' Fai tried to concentrate on where the strange sense was coming from. 'No I'm not imagining it there is something here. Somewhere. It's not in the room and it's not outside either. So then where?'

Fai got up quietly so not to wake the others. He padded across the room over to the old Japanese style door and slid it back. It slid back without a sound. Fai stepped out into the hallway and slid the door shut behind him. The hall was dark no lights where on, the hallway was decorated with vases on top of small side tables above every vase was a picture of the innkeepers family. The strange sense Fai was now feeling was coming from some were down this dark hallway. Fai took a deep breath and headed down the hallway to where this strange sense was coming from. Fai glanced back to see if anyone was behind him. There was nothing behind him but darker hallway. When Fai turned around and saw 2 figures in front of him. One of them he recognized, Kyle Rondart, he was the man that had appeared in Kurogane's home world. He was also the same man who was in jade country pretending to be a doctor. He also appeared in Piffle world trying to sabotage the race and get Sakura's feather. The other one he did not recognize. But he was very suspicious.

"What are you doing here? What do you want?" Fai demanded in a harsh whisper 'Are they here for Sakura's feathers'?

"What we are here for are a couple of that girl's feathers." Kyle smiled evilly Kyle's glasses reflected the moon shining from a nearby window.

"But also what we are here for is you my friend." The other man chuckled.
