Chapter 1.

The dark sky growled, followed by a flash of thunder. The rain started to fall, wetting her white attire which was stained by blood, as the rain dripped upon her cheeks. She sighed, finally finishing off her task. Looking around, she saw the dead bodies of her comrades. The villagers she saved were now crying, grateful to be saved.

Though they were grateful, none of them seemed to thank her for what she did. They knew that she was one of them, but they ignored the fact that she betrayed them just to save the villagers. She turned around and began to walk away from the villagers, heading to the lake hidden far in the woods.

Arriving there, she looked down at the rain hitting on the lake's surface, forming pretty circles of little water waves. Her mind began to wander as she remembered him, the only one who used to need her, appreciate her for what she is. The one who showed her the light through the darkness; the one who sealed some of her darkness and brought about her bright side.

She then held on the pink crystal pendant she had on her neck, smiling to herself.

"The time has come. My search for you has begun, Ryuu. We will be reunited again, and I am sure of that." As she whispered these words, the crystal started to glow, suddenly creating a field of powerful circle around her feet. "To the witch's place, I go." She whispered again, a painful smile on her face. Her body began to fade slowly and before long, she was gone.

A figure stood behind a tree nearby, crossing his arms as he concluded what had happened before his eyes and what had been said before his ears. He smirked, "So, you betrayed us just to search for him? I wish you luck with darkness on the way, then. There shall be no light in your path, unless a guy like him appears. May your future be… dark." He then chuckled, before vanishing with the wind.

She was the first one to arrive. The first person she saw was a lady in dark attire, looking quite surprised to see her. The witch was very pretty, and she somehow admired her. She then let out a smile to the witch. Before the witch could say anything, something appeared upon them, and it revealed a boy carrying a girl in his arms, his face full of worry. The witch turned her attention to the boy, and she observed the scene in front of her with interested eyes.

Before long, two more figures appeared before them. A blond wizard with a white coat, and a strong-willed warrior with a dark appearance. Since the two were very tall, she had to look up. Again, she listened to their conversations as they introduced themselves.

Upon her realization, the attention was then turned towards her.

"I am Nazaiya Kudoki of the Shadow Valley." She introduced herself simply, bowing in respect.

The witch nodded in approval, before asking;
"You do know where we are, right?"
"Yes," the wizard said, "a place where you grant wishes at a proper or high price."
"That's correct," the witch nodded. "Well then, since all of you are here, that means each of you have some sort of a wish to make…"

And at once, the two tall guys began to speak of their different wishes. The wizard doesn't want to return to his place, but the warrior does.

"What about you?" the witch asked, turning her attention to Nazaiya.
"I want to travel between dimensions to search… for a particular part of me." She said, her eyes full of sorrow.
The witch paused for a bit. She then explained that this was a hard thing to do, and paying separately won't do. She called out for each one of them, naming their wishes in order. She then asked for everyone to give up their most precious belonging, and at the thought of that, Nazaiya curled her lips, almost reluctant to agree.

The witch asked the warrior for his sword, and the wizard for his tattoo. Nazaiya sensed each and every emotion they felt, and for the wizard, she knew it was more than just a tattoo. But still, he let out a smile. The witch then turned to her, looking at her for a few seconds.

"Well then, I shall ask for your precious belonging now… but you don't have one, do you?" she asked.
"I do." Nazaiya replied, before taking off the crystal pendant on her neck. Just as she handed it to the witch, a light glowed upon her body as she closed her eyes for a few seconds.

As she opened her eyes, she found the people around her were looking at her with shock written on their faces. Her white, stained blood coat had now turned into a dark, black cloak. Her eyes were deep pink, almost red. The witch wasn't surprised, though.

"This was precious, but not very precious. But I'll accept this for now." She said, before talking to the others again. A guy came running towards them, carrying some sort of fluffy animals in his arms. The two animals were introduced shortly after.

"There is no coincidence in this world. There is only destiny. You were all destined to meet each other." The witch spoke, before saying the price for the boy called 'Syaoran'.

Hearing that the boy had to give up his relationship, Nazaiya couldn't help but feel the sadness as much as Syaoran does. She knew what it feels like, at least, she almost did.

The rain had been pouring down and unnoticed, and everyone was quiet for a moment to hear the boy's decision. In the end, he spoke. "I won't let Sakura die!" he said with such force, that Nazaiya was sure to know how much he loved the girl.

The witch then began to explain about how different the worlds and dimensions were going to be, and how tough they are. How different the same person in another world would be, and how different the living standards and everything are.

After her words, the 'Mokona' began to glow as it grew very large wings, absorbing the people it was supposed to. They were all pulled in by force, and before long, they had all moved into an alternate dimension, not knowing where they were heading to. The last thing Nazaiya remembered was the witch's harsh but kind words, before she blacked out.

As they vanished, the sky began to clear up and the sun began to shine upon the witch's place.

"Well then, good luck on your journey." The witch said, looking up at the clear sky.
