Awesome start Robin.

Let's let everyone know a little bit about our first AU ~ The Ambitions of Fai.

AU Setting:
Fai's land of Celes

In the land of Celes, there exists a King. A kind and fair King.
The townspeople are all happy to be under his rule. That is, until a certain KIng's Wizard begins to set his plan into motion. The seductive mage Fai, using his powers of magic and influence creates a hold.........a need.. over Ashura, that the king cannot, or maybe doesn't want, to be free of. Convincing Ashura he desperately needs him, Fai begins weaving his spell over the King. Fai will do everything in his power to remove anyone close to the King that will try and stop him, so that he will one day rule Celes himself, through Ashura.

 Kurogane, the King's Ninja and sworn protecter, has his suspicions about the mage but hasn't been able to convince Ashura he's up to no good. Being a ninja and not particularly interested in the politics of the country, he keeps watch over the wizard, waiting for the day he slips, and he can take him down.

 Characters:
Fai ~ Sakaki
Ashura-ou ~ Ruby Chan
Kurogane ~ Pikari
Sakura ~  Hori
Syaoran ~  Okamirei
OC: Sadako (fortune teller) ~ Syaokura

Other OC characters.........
Let us know if you have one you want to use.

And So It Begins........

Black cloak flowing out behind him, the golden haired mage made his way silently....stealthily....through the hidden passageways of the ancient, stone castle.

After minutes of walking through the cool, dark tunnels, and having no need of light, for he had traveled these tunnels since boyhood, he suddenly stopped, and sliding his hand down the smooth, stone wall, he pulled back a wooden panel.

Pressing his blue eyes up to the two small holes he had revealed, he peered in at the king, who was in his room, pacing, and looking slightly lost about something important, something pertaining to his rule in Celes, perhaps.

Lost without me, aren’t you?
Never fear.....good King...for I am here to lend an ear.........a hand.......an idea....
All I need in return is your soul........and Celes.


From within the wizard’s heavy cloak, a small black creature appeared and climbed to his shoulder.

“Want to see?” Fai stroked the little creature, who murmured in return. The wizard lifted the small, black creature to the secret eye holes to look at the King. The creature glanced for a moment, then smiled back at his master, revealing two little fangs.

Fai laughed softly and looked once again at the troubled king.
Don’t worry, your adoring wizard is coming...........
To help you..........to save you..........to take you as my own.......Ashura.


“And I have just the thing to cheer you up,” Fai grinned, pulling out a large bottle of the King’s favourite drink.

The wizard slid the wooden panel closed, and feeling in quite good spirits, went to give his King just what he needed.

Yuko sees Fai with Mokona.

Yuko: Fai, somehow this person has plans on something, and yet I can't grasp what it is.

She looks at other worlds.

Yuko: How can a world change a soul...

And yet the soul is the same...

Kurogane stood outside the King's bedroom. He leaned against the wall near the doorway, arms crossed, eyes half-shut. Despite outward appearances, he was ready and alert for anything. He was the King's guard, and sworn to protect him with his life. Even on a day like today, where there seemed to be not the slightest hint of a threat to the King, a ninja never let his guard down.

Kurogane lifted his eyes slightly, seeing the blonde man who was the King's favorite wizard approaching in the hallway. He couldn't place it, but there had always been something about the wizard, in his irritating smiles, that made Kurogane uneasy. But despite anything the ninja might have thought, he was still the King's favorite. Kurogane made no move to greet him, or even change his expression from its usual bored frown, but simply followed him with his eyes as he approached.

Once again sliding back a wood panel, this time one large enough for the wizard himself to climb through, Fai carefully slid out from the castle's secret passageways and into the main hall that would lead to the King's private chambers.

The mage was humming softly, carrying the bottle of sake in one hand, stroking the black creature, which now sat on his shoulder, with the other.

His humming came to a sudden halt though, upon seeing the ninja standing outside
the King's door.

Of course he'd be there......
Getting forgetful in all my kindness, aren't I?


This struck the blonde wizard as funny,
I have come to bestow kindness....
on you, Ashura.....

and he actually had to stifle a laugh as he approached the ninja, standing.....watching.

And just what was that ninja's name.........
Ah, yes............Kurogane.
Catch me........Catch me if you can........Kurogane.


This time the mage did laugh, beautiful, blue eyes sparkling.

"Delightful evening, ne?" Fai smiled at the ninja....Kurogane.
Then looking the King's guard straight in the eyes, as if daring the ninja to say a word and risk the wrath of his King, he spoke quietly, but unwavering, "The King's expecting me. Ashura-ou called for me, himself."

And you can't go against your King now, can you?
Not when he needs what only I can give him.....

Somewhere inside the castle, a young woman with long, raven hair and reddish-brown eyes sat behind a draped table. She carefully rubbed the crystal ball with one hand while tapping her nails from her other hand. The woman searched around for someone to walk towards her, to read their fortunes - be it a good one or a bad one.

The fortune teller glanced at the crystal ball and saw a figure approaching in her quarters.

Post by: Pikari on July 18 2005, 08:13 am
Kurogane felt his irritation rising so much that if it weren't for his ninja's discipline he might have exploded already. What in hell's name was the wizard finding amusing? He could have walked straight into the King's room, knowing very well Kurogane could do nothing to stop him, but yet deliberately stopped to ask permission, as if mockingly throwing in the ninja's face the fact that he had no control over the wizard's hold on Ashura-ou. Maybe he was reading too much into things, but his instincts told him otherwise. They told him he did not like Fai D. Flowright.

The ninja's mouth curled like a bad taste in his mouth. But he shrugged slightly with a barely perceptible nod toward the door. "The King's inside," he stated flatly. "So what are you waiting for?"

Post by: Syaokura on July 18 2005, 08:17 am
Meanwhile, Mokona hid inside a cloak so he won't be noticed by anyone else. If he only knew that his moving might get attention.

"Psst," he hissed while hiding behind one of the pillars.

Post by: Sakaki on July 18 2005, 12:36 pm
"Now, now......Kurogane-san, I am here to help our King, at his request, surely that doesn't anger you?" Fai asked, smiling.

Fai's wide eyes gleamed happily at the ninja's unease, and he thought it best if he hurried on into the King's quarters before he collapsed in a mad fit of laughter.

The wizard opened the door to the King's room and began to enter, then suddenly turning around once again to face the other man, he spoke quietly.
"Oh, by the way...." He smiled innocently, "I met your nephew the other day. Ah......just what was his name?" The wizard scratched his head as if in deep thought, "Oh, yes.........Syaoran. What a fine name..Syaoran.....what a fine boy......ne?" And before catching the ninja's reaction, Fai shut the door and turned to greet his King.

Back in a small town of  the King's land, a young boy was busy getting lunch ready to bring to his uncle.. He had no relatives except for his uncle Kurogane, who was strict and sword-trained him each and every night. His only friend was a young girl in the village, Sakura.
Ah, I hope hakufu likes beef-don he thought, wiping his brow.

Walking to the stone castle where his uncle proudly worked as the king's best ninja, he thought about the strange man he met last time.
He seems kind...perhaps he is a friend of Hakufu? He shook his head, chuckling at his own idea. How could such a stranger be a friend of a grumpy, short-tempered man like his uncle?
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Pikari on July 18 2005, 02:24 pm
As soon as Kurogane had opened his mouth to demand exactly what kind of business the wizard had with his nephew, the door had closed in his face. He found himself gripping the hilt of his sword, Ginryuu, at his side, angry and not even knowing exactly why. There were very few people in the world Kurogane cared about - just two, in fact - but of those he was extremely protective. What possible interest Fai could have in Syaoran, he couldn't fathom.

Kurogane shook his head slightly, trying to brush it aside. "Damn wizard's just trying to mess with my head," he growled, resuming his guard position by the door. Speaking of Syaoran, he usually showed up around this time of day.

Post by: Okamirei on July 18 2005, 02:31 pm
Reaching the castle's entrance, Syaoran saw Kurogane standing at the doorway, apparantly annoyed by something.
Running up to him, he handed Kurogane a bento box wrapped in cloth.
"I'm sorry I'm late uncle! "
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Robin Sena on July 18 2005, 03:06 pm
As the tale unfold, Mokona wonders if this is going to be something special.

Yuko simply smiled at this, she knows something will.

She looks more.

Is it wrong to fulfill your dreams at any cost?
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infini
Post by: Pikari on July 18 2005, 03:48 pm
Kurogane's scowl lightened a bit when he saw the brown-haired boy coming toward him. "Hey, kid." He took the bento box and unwrapped it, peering inside, his hunger winning out over any kind of politeness. He pinched a chunk of beef between his fingers and popped it in his mouth. "Ya get Sakura to make it for you this time?"

Post by: Okamirei on July 19 2005, 05:44 am
"N-no, I made it myself this time...ano, I hope it tastes okay." replied Syaoran nervously. He pondered a bit, watching his uncle cram down the pieces of meat.
"I...I met a strange man yesterday..." he watched Kurogane choke on his food, patting him on the back.
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Pikari on July 19 2005, 11:31 am
Kurogane paused in gulping down the food for a moment, stopping to actually taste the food before swallowing, and discovered to his surprise, it wasn't half bad. Maybe Sakura's influence was actually paying off. He was about to make a comment along those lines when Syaoran spoke again, and found the food caught in his throat. When he managed to finally cough it up, his face had turned to a frown. "Shouldn't talk to strangers," he scolded like the boy was six years old and not the teenager he was.
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Okamirei on July 19 2005, 11:46 am
"But that man didn't seem bad, " replied Syaoran, "and....he said he was after something." He looked nervously at Kurogane, prepared to take in more of his scolding.
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Pikari on July 19 2005, 12:00 pm
Miraculously, Kurogane stopped eating. Judging from his recent conversation (if it could be called that) with the wizard, he was pretty sure he knew who the 'strange man' Syaoran was taking about would be. "After what?" he demanded of Syaoran.
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Okamirei on July 19 2005, 12:04 pm
"He didn't say. I asked him, but he just smiled and left." Syaoran looked questioningly at his uncle. "Do you know him, uncle?"
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Sakaki on July 19 2005, 01:51 pm
Fai entered the main room of the King's quarters, but instead of continuing into the next room, to the King's bedroom, where at this moment Ashura-ou was pacing impatiently, waiting for his favourite wizard and confidant to arrive, he paused.
 I sense something........someone...coming..
Ah, my good Ashura-ou, you'll have to wait perhaps a few more moments for your humble, dedicated wizard.


Fai turned back to the door, suddenly opening it and peeking his head out at the ninja and his nephew.
"Ah, Syaoran-kun, how nice to see you once again! What a good boy you are to bring your uncle a bento!" Then speaking directly to the ninja, "You must be so proud, ne?"

The blonde mage paused for effect, then smiled brightly at the ninja, "Ah, just look at what a bad wizard I am, keeping our King waiting when he so desperately needs my help!" Fai continued, speaking to Syaoran this time, but eyes locked on the ninja's. "And Syaoran-kun, I should take a lesson from your uncle Kurogane-san here.....he's such a dedicated servant."

Then breaking eye contact with the ninja and turning to face the boy, Fai grinned and ruffled the boy's hair gently, "Don't be a stranger, Syaoran, it's good to see such young, pure hearts around the castle!"

And with that, the mage, in even better spirits than he thought possible, disappeared behind the door to help the awaiting King.

Post by: Okamirei on July 19 2005, 02:19 pm
Syaoran stood without a word as the mage came and left. So uncle does know him. But from the looks of Kurogane's face, he did not seem to like the man at all.

Feeling he should leave his fuming uncle, he nodded a good-bye and turned back to the village.

Suddenly, he hesitated. Someone was watching him. He turned around and stared at the Castle's high window, a blank expression on his face.
Standing for a few moments, he regained focus and blinked. ...eh?

He shook his head, dazed. Thinking it was only because of the blazing sun, Syaoran ran back to the village.

Mokona looked at Yuko at a puzzling face.

She thinks about going in this world and try to learn the situation in her own eyes.

"This situation can go into a whirpool in due time. I better go."

There she disappears. Going to the world.

Why should I meddle in the affairs of others?

I just like to... that's all.

OOC: Hello. =3

Sadako nodded to the two men in front of her. "Open the doors, someone is behind them," she instructed as she rubbed the crystal ball with two hands. One of the men picked up the moving cloak, which is really Mokona hiding under it.

"Ah, so that is where you have been all this time," Sadako smiled as Mokona hopped into her hands. The fortune teller patted the meat bun-shaped creature before placing it down on the table.

Syaoran smiled back, beaming at the green-eyed girl; his first and only friend in the village.
Waiting for Sakura to catch her breath, he asked curiously. "What are you doing here?"

"It's dangerous here. You never know what may come out in this place." replied Syaoran, putting on a worried look. "We should head back."
As he guided her back to the village, he couldn't help feeling nervous. Is someone..watching me?
Taking another glance at the castle, he decided to put his worries away.

"But, if anything happens to you..." Syaoran paused, turning red.

Back at the village, Syaoran escorted Sakura back to her house. He bowed and smiled at her, then turned to leave. Gazing up at the sky, he saw the sun slowly set. And I promise I'll protect you, Sakura..

Post by: Sakaki on July 20 2005, 08:16 am
"My King," Fai said, turning and giving a slight bow to the beautiful, dark-haired, Ashura-ou. "You're troubled."
Fai smiled slightly at seeing the blatant relief on the King's face at his arrival.
And his eyes.
The beautiful, dark eyes of the King were on his....searching....needing.


"Fai's here, no need to worry now. Sit down, and I'll pour," the wizard said, reassuringly. He opened the bottle and poured the sake into a large cystal goblet, then quickly opening his hand over the glass, letting one small grain of purple powder fall in,
One grain of magic, that would not hurt the King, for Fai knew he'd never get away with actually physically hurting Ashura-ou...it would just make him more open to the wizard's suggestion...more easily tricked.
he then handed it to the King.

Soon, soon....Ashura, I will own you...and all of Celes too..

Hours later, the King was drunkenly mumbling on about his problems, becoming more and more friendly and relaxed with the wizard he had always been slightly in awe of.
When the mage had dropped the -ou and began calling the King just Ashura, an hour or so ago, the King hadn't batted an eye.
How relieved he is to share his troubles.....how incredibly stupid..

The wizard was waiting for just the right moment, and when Ashura's eyes began to glaze over, he knew he'd won.
Leaning close to the dark haired King, Fai put his finger to Ashura's lips to stop his talking, causing Ashura-ou to look slightly amused. Fai began to laugh softly as he put his lips to the King's ear and kissed it, causing the King to moan softly, before beginning to whisper.......

It was after midnight when Fai finally left the King sleeping rather peacefully......
But Fai still had work to do.
The boy would be coming soon.....

Syaoran shifted in his sleep, breathing softly. He was exhausted from Kurogane's nightly sparring lesson. Nothing but rest could cure his tired body.

A soft voice sounded in his dreams.
Come to me...
...Who are you?
Come to me...you will see...

A soft tapping broke into his sleep, waking him. Looking up groggily, he saw a small black creature perched upon his window, knocking. Rubbing sleep out of his eyes, he stepped clumsily over to the window and opened it.

"Heehee, master is waiting for you" giggled the creature. "Follow Mokona!"

Master?? thought Syaoran. Filled with curiousity, he went after the creature.

Despite him being wide awake, the voice still rang in his ears; growing louder by the minute.

Come to me...

Branches whipped by, tearing his Pajamas as he staggered through the forest. "Where are we going?" asked Syaoran, calling out to the creature.
"You will see, you will see!"
He followed the creature through a door on the barren floor, crawling through tunnels unknown to him.

Come to me...

Finally, a light from the exit appeared before him. The creature jumped through."Master! He's here! "
Syaoran looked at the one waiting for him; his eyes widening. "It's...it's you!"

Kurogane snored softly in his sleep, inside the sparse, dark room of the cottage where he retired after his duties at the palace. Gradually, soft sounds awoke him, as if someone were moving about in the house. "Kid?" he called out sleepily. Opening his eyes wider, the ninja got the uncomfortable feeling that something wasn't right. It was... too quiet. Picking up the sword beside him, he moved quickly through the house to find it completely empty, including his nephew's bedroom, where he found the sheets askew and the window open, though no obvious sign of a struggle. Kurogane licked his lips anxiously. It wasn't like Syaoran to disappear without warning. No... something stranger was going on here.

Sleep forgotten, he set off from the village, intent on tracking down whoever or whatever had just invaded his house.

Sadako was in some elegant room with the white creature resting on her shoulder. "Master," she spoke elegantly as she looked around, searching for her king. Only to find that he is nowhere to be found.

"Mokona, try and find the king," Sadako instructed her pet, who went and searched for Ashura. The teller's crimson eyes gazed at her crystal ball, which she took out of her violet pouch. "I see... darkness," she whispered in a low tone. She saw the white Mokona jump to her shoulders, shaking its head.

"No such luck," Sadako said as she saw Mokona's sad expression. "No matter. I see someone approaching ahead," she spoke while rubbing her crystal sphere.

Post by: Sakaki on July 20 2005, 11:09 am
Ah......the boy was coming........
the small black creature leading the way..
How easy you are...........Syaoran......


Fai knew the risk he was taking having the boy come to his own very quarters in the castle, in the middle of the night, but felt there was really no other choice, no other place where he wouldn't be seen.

The black Mokona led the boy to the back of the castle, through the ancient passageways, until he reached the door leading from the dark tunnel to the wizard's room.

Fai pulled open the door, revealing the boy, dazed and out of breath.

It's....it's you!

"Welcome Syaoran," the wizard smiled. "Don't be afraid, I rarely ever bite."
And with that, Syaoran walked in.

"Young boys like tricks, ne?"  Fai asked the boy. "Want to see a trick?"
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Okamirei on July 20 2005, 11:16 am
Syaoran observed the wizard, turning suspicious. rarely ever bite?
He remembered his uncle telling him not to talk to strangers. But this man wasn't a stranger...was he?
"Just.....who are you?"
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Sakaki on July 20 2005, 11:28 am
"Why that's a really good question, Syaoran-kun," the wizard smiled. "I'd like to think I'm a friend."

Undaunted by the boy's slightly confused response to the question, Fai pulled out a small glass egg.
"Here, hold this," Fai handed the egg to the boy, grinning mischiviously, as if they shared a secret.

As soon as the egg touched the boy's hands, the glass began to shimmer and transform.
In seconds, the egg disappeared and a beautiful white bird appeared in Syaoran's hands.
Seeing the boy's amazed expression, the wizard laughed, "Nice trick, ne?"
Then whispering slyly, "Want to see more?"

Ah........how easy this will be.......
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Okamirei on July 20 2005, 11:33 am
Awed by the magic, Syaoran gasped.
Want to see more?
He paused, then shook his head. "I'm sorry...I'd like to, but I must go."
He turned around toward the exit, yet there was none.
"...Mister?"
It was then when he saw the hungry expression on Fai's face.

Post by: Sakaki on July 20 2005, 11:44 am
"Mister?  Ah, come now, Syaoran-kun, I've known your uncle Kurogane-san for so very long now. You and I are friends.........call me Fai."

Then looking into the boy's eyes and smiling kindly, "You're very proud of your uncle, aren't you....Syaoran? What would you say if I told you I know a way to really help your uncle? A way to make him the King's favourite ninja and perhaps a hero in the Land of Celes? What would you say to that, Syaoran?" Fai whispered to the boy. "And you can help. You can help your uncle to be the most looked up to ninja in the land! And it's quite easy really........would you like to know how?"

Syaoran pondered. Uncle really did want to be the best ninja of the land. But could he trst this man? This stranger?
A few moments later, he nodded. Looking into the wizard's mysterious face.

"You like birds, don't you?" Without waiting for the boy's response, Fai continued. "Someone you love dearly loves birds. Perhaps the person most special to you?" He asked, eyes wide. "In any case, take a look at this!"

The wizard pulled out a large round stone attached to a long piece of purple fabric.
"Take a look, Syaoran.....look closely........" Fai whispered, as he began to slowly swing the stone back and forth in front of the boy's wide, brown eyes. "See the birds Syaoran?" He asked soothingly...........hypnotically.

Take a look, Syaoran.....look closely........
Syaoran gazed at the swinging object. Slowly, Surely, his expression turned blank; hypnotized by the mage.

Post by: Sakaki on July 20 2005, 01:02 pm
As the boy's beautiful, innocent eyes began to go blank........the wizard began to whisper..

"I have a package for you Syaoran, and it's very very important in regard to your uncle's future, your uncle Kurogane's future as a hero......"

The boy didn't respond, but the wizard knew he heard him nonetheless, would obey him.

"Take this package, Syaoran, and hide it in your uncle's house. Hide it well, so that your uncle won't come across it, for he's too proud a man to do anything for his own gain in regards to the King. But, we'll help him, won't we, Syaoran......"
The mage smiled and continued. "Hide it well, and when the time is right, your uncle will be a Hero, a Hero in the Land of Celes and known forever as the one who saved the King."
The blonde wizard paused, letting it all sink in, then told the boy, "You will go home, hide this package, go to bed, and awake the next morning.............remembering nothing. Remembering nothing except how now we are confidants.....and I am to be trusted."

The wizard closed his hand over the stone that still swung before the young boy's eyes, stopping it suddenly.
"Syaoran?" He asked, putting the brown box in the boy's hands. "You'll also come back tomorrow night......you'll remember the way. You'll come directly here, after midnight, because we are friends, and you can trust me, ne?" He once again ruffled the boy's brown hair.....smiling at how the young boy looked up at him, and the door appeared once again.

"Oh, and Syaoran," Fai smiled. "Be careful on your way home, don't talk to strangers."
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Okamirei on July 20 2005, 01:19 pm
Syaoran stood silently, mesmerized by the wizard.

Take this package...hide it in your uncle's house.... Hide it well.....
....I am to be trusted


The words sunk into his captured mind. There was no way he could stop them.

You'll also come back tomorrow night.....You'll come directly here, after midnight

Taking the box suppressed in his hands, he nodded; his expression still blank.
He turned toward the exit and slipped through, strolling back into the darkness outside.

Take this package...hide it in your uncle's house.... Hide it well.....

Reaching his house, he hid the box beneath a wooden door under his bed, where he secretly kept his books. Then, slipping into unconsiousness, he collapsed onto the floor beside his bed.

Syaoran's path led straight to the castle - the boy (or whoever had been in the woods tonight) certainly hadn't been very careful about concealing his trail in the underbrush. Kurogane felt his suspicions growing even stronger the closer he drew. That wizard had something to do with this. He had no proof but he just knew. Then the trail was gone, as if he'd disappeared through the stone wall in front of him. Like... a secret door or something. But a thorough search of the wall and the surrounding area turned up nothing, and only left the ninja cursing and frustrated. Bewitched, I bet...

With a loud curse, he whacked at a nearby tree branch with his sword in anger, and stormed back through the forest. Reaching the road, he considered marching straight through the front doors of the castle and demanding... demanding what? He still had no idea what had happened or where his nephew was. That was when he noticed more footprints. Smaller footprints than his own, leading back to the village. He ran the entire way back.

"Syaoran!!" The boy was lying on the floor, unmoving. Kurogane rolled him over to find he was still alive, and unconscious. He shook the boy's shoulders anxiously. "Syaoran!"

(Syaokura: I'm using the white version, but it's different from yours.)

There behind Fai...

"I wonder about your resolve. Can you possibly do what you're thinking?"
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Sakaki on July 20 2005, 03:55 pm
From a high window in the castle, Fai watched the young boy leave from the back way, running through the grounds, clutching the box tightly under his arm.
A short while later, a larger figure approached the castle.....
A man........

The wizard's eyes narrowed.
That ninja............Kurogane..
Ah, but you're much too late.......Kuro-chan....
for your nephew is sealing your fate at this very moment..
And once you're banished from the Kingdom and away from Ashura-ou,
I'll be one step closer..


Fai giggled, stroking the little, black creature that hopped up onto his shoulder.
Then watching the ninja's frustrated outburst below, he began to laugh uncontrollably.....
Tears sprang to the wizard's bright, blue eyes, and he wiped them away with the sleave of his long cloak, as he watched the ninja go back the way he had come.

Suddenly as if from nowhere and everywhere....... Fai heard a voice ring in his head. A woman's voice?

"I wonder about your resolve. Can you possibly do what you're thinking?"

Eyes narrowed, the wizard whirled around, trying to see who was there.
But his room was empty..................still the voice rang in his ears.
Almost as if I had a conscious.................


Shaken, but still confident and unwavering in his plan, the wizard spoke to his little pet. "Tomorrow's another day, my little friend. We'd better get some rest and be on our guard, for our ninja, Kurogane, is sure to be in a nasty mood."

Fai looked around once more, still disturbed by the voice he was sure he'd heard......the presence.....he'd felt, but confidence won out and he went to rest, for he had plans..........and no one would stop him..........

Catch me.............Catch me if you can.................

Sadako, hiding her identity with her black cloak wrapped around her, walked upstairs in the castle. White Mokona hid himself inside his mistress's violet bag. The fortune teller silently opened the door, only to see a few candles lightly up the room - barely, and not enough.

"You," the woman whispered as her fingers grasped the doorknob. "It has been a while, hasn't it?" She asked, referring to the shadowy figure in front of her.

Syaoran! Syaoran!
someone was calling him...shaking him awake.
Syaoran groaned, shaking his head.  Urgh...
Opening his eyes, he saw the blurred image of Kurogane.
"U-uncle?"
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Pikari on July 21 2005, 02:52 pm
Kurogane sighed with a restrained bit of relief. Picking up the boy under his shoulders, he deposited him back in the bed and pulled the blankets over him. "Never mind, kid. Go back to sleep." It could wait until the morning.

He managed to sleep only a few hours. By the time the sun had just risen, he had already dressed and fixed his faithful sword at his side. Syaoran was still fast asleep, so he didn't disturb him. He left, a little reluctant to leave the cottage behind, but he knew his target was ahead of him, inside the castle. Kurogane strode toward the King's room, keeping a close watch for a certain wily wizard...
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Sakaki on July 21 2005, 03:29 pm
Fai stood in the dark tunnels once again, eyes looking in on the agitated, Ashura-ou. For today the King's wizard was three hours late, and perhaps wouldn't show at all, leaving the King with a desperate feeling he didn't like. Ashura had to talk with the wizard.......needed to discuss things that only he would understand, that only Fai could be trusted with.

Fai smiled as he watched the King pace nervously, impatiently.
"I feel kind of mischivious today, Mokona," He said patting the little creature. "Let's make our good King wait, let's make him realise just how much he truly needs his wizard, Fai."
And I should ready things for later, for when the boy comes ...........

The blonde wizard laughed as he walked slowly back through the cool tunnels to his room, knowing full well that the King was near his breaking point of the evening...........waiting for his wizard....
His saviour..........for what only I can give him....

He knew it was only a matter of time before Ashura-ou sent his ninja, Kurogane to fetch the wizard for him.    Ah, such shameless need......

He had purposely stayed away from the ninja during the day, not out of fear, but because he knew the ninja......Kurogane would be looking for him...
And I am such a hard man to catch, you'll soon find out.......
Perhaps he should've been afraid to come face to face with the ninja after the night before, but after all, he held the King in one hand, the checkmate in the other.

That ninja can't touch me.......wouldn't dare.....

Fat sat grinning, waiting for the ninja to arrive at his door, for......the servant to fetch him, knowing how much the ninja hated to set foot anywhere near the wizard's quarters.

The Ninja......the King.......the Boy........what a popular man I am......ne?
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Robin Sena on July 21 2005, 06:50 pm
Mokona seems to be puzzled at Yuko.

Meanwhile, she simply looks at Fai, grinning about his predicament.

"He surely is in a favorable position. I wonder if that's going to last long. This I've got to see!"
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infini
Post by: Pikari on July 22 2005, 04:28 am
Kurogane got the distinct feeling the wizard was avoiding him. He always was there, hovering around the King with his fake smile, and the moment Kurogane actually wanted to run into him, he was nowhere in sight.

The King was getting restless, too. He was pacing the floor again, needing to consult the wizard on some semi-important political stuff or some other issues Kurogane never bothered himself with. He was a ninja, and his one and only goal was to protect and serve the King. Though there were times he wished his King weren't so naive and blind.

"Fai is late." The King had called him to his presence, obviously upset that his trusted wizard had not appeared. "Kurogane, I want you to fetch him at once."

What was he, a dog? He'd sworn a vow to die protecting his King all for this?

"I can have a servant call for one of your advisors, who are already waiting - "

"I need Fai. I need you to fetch him, Kurogane, I don't trust anyone else. I'm worried that he hasn't appeared yet."

Kurogane turned and marched from the room without even a bow, which might have meant death if he wasn't the kingdom's highest ninja, but Ashura let it pass, or else he was too caught up in missing his trusted wizard to notice. Kurogane's lip curled as he walked the hallways. Sure, I'll fetch him. But I certainly won't guarantee the condition I deliver him in.

He liked to avoid the wizard's quarters whenever at all possible - just the thought of being near the thin blonde man irritated him (and today was no different). But he also had a few things to discuss with the wizard before delivering him the King. Without even bothering to knock, he flung the door open to find Fai waiting inside.
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Sakaki on July 22 2005, 06:24 am
The blonde wizard didn't have to wait long before he sensed the ninja approaching his quarters.
He walked near to the door, ready to peer out as the man approached, when suddenly the heavy door flew open with such speed and force, the mage had to jump back or risk being knocked to the ground.

The wizard's blue eyes narrowed as he stared at the large man in black who stood before him, and he moved forward once again, in an attempt to block the ninja from setting foot inside his room.
How dare he..........

Putting on a fake, unaffected smile, the wizard spoke, "Good evening, Kurogane-san." Fai bowed slightly, riskily taking his eyes off the ninja.
"Why Kurogane-san, you look distressed," The wizard said sacastically, amused concern shining in his wide, blue eyes.

Post by: Pikari on July 22 2005, 11:19 am
Kurogane caught the malice in the wizard's eyes just before he covered it with a smile and fake politeness.

You can't fool me.
I know what you really are.


He shoved past the blonde and into the room, grabbing his collar and slamming him into the wall as he did. Putting his face level with the wizard's, he glared threateningly. "Whatever you're up to, you're not going to get away with it. And you're going to tell me right now what you did to my nephew!"
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Okamirei on July 22 2005, 11:30 am
Take this package...hide it in your uncle's house.... Hide it well.....

Syaoran's eyes snapped open; panting. Was it just a bad dream? Lying still on his bed, he tried to recall last night's events. But his mind remained blank. There was nothing he could remember.

Sitting up, he peered outside the window and saw the sun slowly set. It's evening already??
He jolted out of bed; rushing over to meet his uncle. Hakufu must be fuming by now!

Reaching the castle's front door, he saw Kurogane missing from his usual place. Hakufu?

Post by: Sakaki on July 22 2005, 11:35 am
The ninja's reaction had momentarily startled the mage. He hadn't expected to see the man in such a rage, so out of control.

Fai gasped as he was violently thrown against the wall, wincing in pain as his blonde head struck the hard stone.
The wizard blinked slowly, trying to clear his vision, and was greated by the ninja's face just centimeters from his own and wearing an expression, the wizard believed to be, pure rage.

"Mistake number one, Kurogane, never attack those who hold power over your future." Then in a sly whisper, the mage questioned him, "Just what was your nephew doing in the castle last night? And just what did he take from our King to hide in your very own home?" The wizard, still pressed against the hard wall, smiled at the ninja's changing expression.

"Don't tell me you raised a thief, Kurogane-san?" The mage whispered, staring into the ninja's fury filled eyes. "A thief that would steal from the
very King his uncle is sworn to protect? And can you tell me what would happen if the King were to find out the thing he could be looking for frantically, at this very moment, is in his most trusted ninja's own home?"
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infini
Post by: Pikari on July 22 2005, 11:52 am
Kurogane's grip on the wizard loosened, caught off-guard by his words. After a few moments he regained his control, keeping Fai firmly pinned to the wall. When he spoke next, his voice was calmer, but just as forceful. "What the hell are you talking about? What did you put in my house?!" He recalled the trail made last night between the castle and his own home.

Power over his future - What was that supposed to mean? The wizard may think he was smart, but he wasn't going to get away with this, Kurogane wanted to make sure of that.
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Sakaki on July 22 2005, 12:15 pm
"I'm talking about your nephew and thievery," The wizard answered in a low, whispered voice, "And I put nothing in your house, Kurogane-san.
That was all your own nephew's doing." The wizard's head still pounded and he wanted the ninja out of his room and away from him as fast as possible, but he managed to smile up at the man that held him pinned to the wall.
"Perhaps you should ask the boy............Syaoran?"
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Pikari on July 22 2005, 01:53 pm
Kurogane dropped his hand from the wizard's throat, but moved it immediately to rest on the hilt of his sword, and he didn't step back just yet. His eyes narrowed at the man in front of him. "My nephew is no thief," he stated firmly. "And if he was, how would you know so much about it?"
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Sakaki on July 22 2005, 02:40 pm
"I only know what I see, Kurogane-san, and being a wizard, I see quite far."

Fai glanced down at the ninja's hand still resting on the hilt of his sword,
You wouldn't dare..............
then looked up impatiently.
"Just what did you come here for anyway? Ah...I suppose our good King sent you to fetch me, correct?" Before the ninja could answer, the wizard continued.
"I think you should get back to our King now, don't you? Perhaps you can console him tonight?" Fai asked, grinning up at the ninja. "Perhaps you can give Ashura-ou just what he needs........for I'm just not able to be there for our King tonight."
Then narrowing his eyes at the other man, "I seem to have developed a pounding
headache."
The wizard pushed past the ninja and moved toward the door.
"You'll tell Ashura for me, won't you?" He grinned picturing the look on the King's face when the ninja told him he wouldn't be coming, that he had in fact, failed to bring Fai to him.

"I think I'll get a little air," Fai glanced back at the ninja, as he walked out. "Perhaps you should do the same, Kurogane, you suddenly look a little pale, and I have the feeling you are going to have a long night."
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Robin Sena on July 22 2005, 03:36 pm
Back at Yuko's house.

She starts smoking again after her brush with Fai.

"Somehow that person gets a bit more weirder by the time."

Something like that...
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Pikari on July 23 2005, 01:03 am
Kurogane watched the blonde move away with disdain. Suddenly he wanted to get out of this place, the "wizard's lair" as it would seem, as soon as he could. There was just something discomfiting about the place. With a "humph" to show he wasn't fazed, he strode through the door past the wizard. "The King would be better off without scum like you anyway, so I'm sure no harm can be done with your absence."

As much as he may have wanted to slice the wizard to bits, it wouldn't be wise. Yet, anyway. Approaching the King's quarters, he noticed an unexpected figure in the hallway. Syaoran! He'd all but forgotten about lunch, but he had more important questions to ask the boy.
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Okamirei on July 23 2005, 01:57 am
Syaoran paced around in the castle. Where could uncle be? He must be mad that I've forgotten his lunch...

Suddenly , he heard someone calling his name. Looking up, he saw Kurogane coming toward him. "Uncle!"
Running up to him, he saw the fierce glare on his face. "Gomen ne! I've overslept!"
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infini
Post by: Pikari on July 23 2005, 05:11 am
"Never mind that!" Kurogane grabbed ahold of Syaoran's shoulder. "What exactly were you doing last night? I know you were gone." He gave the boy a look that said "tell the truth", even if he did trust him a whole lot more than that wizard.
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Okamirei on July 23 2005, 09:39 am
"I...I don't remember" replied Syaoran, his brown eyes looking straight up at Kurogane. "Everything blank...I don't remember a thing from yesterday when I woke up."
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Sakaki on July 23 2005, 12:49 pm
Fai waited until the ninja was out of sight before shutting the door to his room and leaning against the other side.
His eyes narrowed as a rare frown spread across his face.
The man's attack had caught him off guard, the fact that he had dared to touch the wizard, dared to lay a hand on him....

Feeling the tender knot that had risen on the back of his blonde head, he calmed himself with thoughts of revenge.
All in due time, Kurogane-san, you will regret what you've done........

Suddenly sensing the boy, Fai walked over to the window just in time to see the young, brown haired boy running up to the castle carrying his uncle's bento.

Ah......the boy.
Perhaps my revenge shall be with you......
Perhaps tonight.


The little, black creature bounced up onto his master's shoulder, smiling.
"Yes, Mokona, perhaps Fai will make Syaoran pay for his uncle's foolishness..."
He smiled, and feeling a bit better about the whole situation, prepared for the night when the boy would once again be his puppet..
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infini
Post by: Pikari on July 23 2005, 03:14 pm
Kurogane frowned deeply at his nephew's answer. "You were gone for hours. You had to remember something. Anyway, when was the last time you talked to that damn wizard?"

Syaoran didn't seem to be lying, but still... no, he was not going to give in to that wizard's tales. The man was up to something, and Kurogane wished he knew exactly what. He just knew that wizard was dangerous...
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infini
Post by: Robin Sena on July 23 2005, 08:44 pm
There, Kurogane hears a voice.

A puzzled individual? Somehow you just want to know what that wizard is up to...

Maybe, I may be able to leak something...
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Okamirei on July 24 2005, 02:39 am
Syaoran shook his head. "I don't remember.."
There was nothing he could do. No matter how hard he tried, his mind remained blank.
As if had been modified by a spell....
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Sakaki on July 24 2005, 07:48 am
Perhaps if Fai hadn't been so wrapped up in the plotting of revenge, so stunned at the ninja's rage, and so overly confident, he would have sensed the whisper  in the castle, the witch's spirit, whom he should have perhaps feared.
For she was crafty and knew his secrets before he planned them, and so perhaps now, did the ninja.............

As night fell in the Land of Celes, a King fell into a drunken, restless sleep without his wizard to comfort him, a young boy lay sleeping soundly in his bed, and a wizard plotting revenge, began to call to him......once again.
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Okamirei on July 24 2005, 08:03 am
Someone was calling him...reaching for him...

Syaoran...come to me....


Syaoran opened his eyes, his mind encaptured in the wizard's grasp. Silently getting up, he slipped out through the window; careful not to disturb the snoring Kurogane.

Syaoran....I'm waiting....


His brown eyes remained blank as he wandered into the forest, past the hallways, reaching the wizard's secret entrance. Stepping inside, he bowed to the wizard.
"I'm here..." he muttered monotonously
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infini
Post by: Pikari on July 24 2005, 09:14 am
He had to be crazy, if he was hearing voices in his head, without another person in sight. Yeah. Definitely crazy. Or else it was another of that wizard's tricks. But... the voice seemed to be offering to help.

There it was again...

He sat up in bed. "Who are you?" he spoke warily to the empty darkness. "You know what that wizard is planning?"
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Sakaki on July 24 2005, 12:14 pm
"Hello, once again, Syaoran." Fai smiled. "Come in, for we have a lot to talk about, many important things to discuss. I have a job for you. A job you can't refuse. You won't refuse now will you, Syaoran?" The wizard's blue eyes narrowed as he looked down at the boy and slowly advanced towards him.
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Okamirei on July 24 2005, 12:25 pm
As Syaoran approached Fai, he suddenly jerked from subconsciousness. He saw who he was moving toward to. "You're...that wizard!"

Remember...I'm a friend..
I have a job for you. A job you can't refuse. You won't refuse now will you, Syaoran?

"A-a job?" He looked into the wizard's gleaming blue eyes, slipping back into the mage's grasp. "Ano...what sort of job is it?"
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Sakaki on July 24 2005, 12:51 pm
The wizard watched, amused, as the boy begin to wake slowly from his spell.
Good, this will be even more fun if you know exactly what
you're doing.......and remember.


The wizard grasped Syaoran's wrist and opened the boy's hand, dropping in a small container filled with a purple sand.
"This is your job, Syaoran. I want you to take these little grains of magic and put them in your uncle's food, in the bento that you bring him everyday.
You'll make his lunch as usual, adding this." Then looking into the boy's large, brown eyes, the wizard continued, "It won't hurt him, Syaoran, only make him sleep. Sleep long enough for me to do something I need to do." Fai stared down at the boy, "You'll do as I ask, ne?"
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Okamirei on July 24 2005, 01:01 pm
Syaoran's eyes widened. He wants me to poison uncle?
"NO!" He thrust the container back, pushing the wizard away from him.

"I can't do it! I won't do it!" He glared at Fai, breathing deeply.
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Sakaki on July 24 2005, 01:13 pm
"Ah, now, now. Remember the package, Syaoran? Think hard now." Fai smiled, moving slowly towards him. "The package you so willingly took from the castle. Took from the King, Syaoran, and hid in your uncle's home?"

Fai had backed the boy up against the stone wall, just as a certain ninja had done to him only earlier that very day. The wizard gazed down at the boy, and grinned wolfishly, "Want to know what's in that package you stole from our King and hid in your uncle's home? You want to know just why you can't refuse anything I ask?"
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Okamirei on July 24 2005, 01:20 pm
"P-package? What do you mean?" Syaoran leaned onto the wall. Suddenly,  it came back to him. What had happened last night. The strange black creature leading him here, and....the package he had hidden under his bed.
"...What have I done? What's inside the package?" he looked up at the grinning wizard; a frightened look flashing in his brown eyes.
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Sakaki on July 24 2005, 01:59 pm
The blonde wizard laughed, "Ah, so you do remember."

He moved in on the boy, bringing his face down to Syaoran's level.
"A book, Syaoran. That's what you took from the castle and so willingly hid in your uncle's home, a simple book." The wizard paused staring into the boy's large, brown eyes. "But even that's not so simple, is it, Syaoran? I can see beyond your confused expression. I can see this is one boy who knows just how valuable one little book could be. Especially if it belongs to the King of a country, if it's the King's own personal book filled with the King's own written words, plans, laws, and secrets. Secrets of the Kingdom, Syaoran."

Fai put his face close to the boy's and whispered, "What do you think would happen to a man, a man like your uncle, found to have stolen such a book?"

The wizard paused, and was greatly amused by the expression of understanding creeping across the young boy's features. "Ah, I see from your face that you know very well the answer to Fai's question." He narrowed his eyes, and staring into boy's face, stated simply,  "He'd be a traitor, wouldn't he, Syaoran?"

Not stepping back, but moving even closer in, pinning the boy against the wall, and having no intentions of letting the boy go just yet, Fai once again asked, "What do you say, Syaoran, you'll do the job, ne?"

Syaoran gazed up at the him, feeling the wizard's soft breathing on his face. This man wants to get rid of uncle!
An spark of anger lit up inside him. "NO!!"
He punched the mage, quickly trying to find an exit as the Fai backed away.

The woman appears in Kurogane's eyes.

"Now now. No need to be hostile."

Yuko now reveals a scene.

"See this? Fai is attempting to push Syaoran in killing his uncle. I'm sure you already feel that wizard is a nasty fellow don't you?"

Naive fools...

"If you don't hurry, you might regret it in your eternity."

Why am I helping this person?

Somehow, it's a good thing.

The woman disappears.

Being caught off guard by the ninja had surprised and angered the blonde wizard, being caught off guard by the boy had shocked and enraged him.

The boy was strong but the wizard was quick. Within seconds Fai had the boy pinned to the ground.
"I hate violence," The mage frowned, from atop the boy. "Would you have me go in to the King's chambers this very moment and tell my dear Ashura-ou all about how his most trusted ninja is a traitor? Perhaps you'd enjoy watching as the King's guards take your uncle away?"

Fai smiled at the boy's expression, pulling the stone once again from his pocket and holding it out in front of the boy's so innocent, brown eyes.
"Oh, I think you'll do what I say, Syaoran." And beginning to swing the stone back and forth, forcing the boy to look, "I think you'll do exactly as I say."

When the wizard finished, once again, giving the boy his instructions as to exactly what to do with the purple powder, he grasped the boy's chin with his fingers, lifting it so that the boy was forced to look into the wizard's wide, blue eyes.

"Should've listened to your uncle, Kurogane, Syaoran. Never talk to strangers."
Then Fai smiled, a cold, slow smile before letting the boy go.

No...I can't look at the stone..

He tried to shut his eyes, but the temptation forced them back open.  I think you'll do what I say, Syaoran.
No..NO!

No matter how hard he struggled, the wizard's words soon enveloped his thoughts. Giving a shudder, his eyes widened and turned blank.

take these...put them in your uncle's food, in the bento that you bring him everyday

Getting up to his feet, he held the glass container and stared at the wizard. A spark of anger and fear appeared in his eyes before he turned around to leave..

Post by: Sakaki on July 25 2005, 11:46 am
The blonde wizard watched the boy's eyes flash between fear and rage, and for once, doubt began to creep into his thoughts.
Would the boy do it?
Have I underestimated the will of one so young?


But he pushed those thoughts away and put his belief in the magic.
After all, I own the King.....
Owning the boy should be easy.
And once that ninja is out of the way......


As the boy left, the mage pulled out a large bottle of sake and began to drink and laugh.....
Watching from his window, he saw the boy running home from the castle, and began to laugh harder.
And what if the boy doesn't do it?
What then?


Fai didn't seem to take his random doubts seriously as he downed the bottle of sake and began to make plans for his dear Ashura-ou....

Kurogane got up and grabbed his sword, unconsciously clutching it so tight his knuckles went white. He didn't know who or what the mysterious voice was, but the scene he saw enraged him. He left the room, running straight into .... Syaoran.

He grabbed the teenager, shaking him a little. "I told you to stay away from that wizard! You were there again, weren't you?"
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Okamirei on July 26 2005, 06:53 am
Syaoran remained in trance as he ran back...until he was shaken awake by Kurogane.

I told you to stay away from that wizard! You were there again, weren't you?

Syaoran clutched the container tightly in his hand. What should I say?
He broke through the moment of silence, staring at Kurogane's red eyes. "....yes."

Post by: Pikari on July 26 2005, 07:24 am
Kurogane clenched his fist. He knew the boy probably hadn't been there of his own will. It was that wizard. I'll kill him...

He faced Syaoran again. "He said something weird today. About something hidden in this house. Where did you put that?"

Kurogane sighed, frustrated, but relaxing some. "Dammit... I knew it, it's some kind of spell."

He looked out the window toward the castle, where the sun was already rising. It was already time for him to be awake and standing guard by the King. But he had business to do first. He turned to Syaoran. "Look, I don't want you to leave the house at all. Stay here. No lunch today, got it?"
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories

"But...but..." stuttered Syaoran.His grip on the container tightened.

The purple sand, ne?remember..... put them in your uncle's food, in the bento that you bring him everyday

NO! He covered his ears; trying to envelope the sound. What is this voice??

Post by: Pikari on July 26 2005, 01:10 pm
Kurogane paused, thinking the kid was just being worried about him not getting a lunch, and not really understanding what he was doing. "Well, fetch me some bread or something now if it's that big of deal. I just don't want you anywhere near that wizard again. Ever." His eyes narrowed as he gripped his sword. "And I'm gonna do something about that today."

Post by: Okamirei on July 26 2005, 01:26 pm
"Yes, uncle!" Syaoran ran into the village, grabbing a large bun and dashing back to Kurogane.
Suddenly, he stopped.
The purple sand, Syaoran...
Unconsciously, he opened the container, slipping the sand inside the bread; concealing it to look as if the sand wasn't there.

He handed it to Kurogane. "Here, Hakufu. "

Post by: Sakaki on July 26 2005, 01:39 pm
As the sun began to rise in the Country of Celes, a wizard began to doubt.
A feeling of unease began to creep through his body, as if he'd forgotten something important...or someone?
By the time the sun rose in the sky, he'd drank many bottles of sake and gone over his plans repeatedly in his head.

Perhaps too much sake and a lack of sleep?
No, there was something......something he couldn't he couldn't put his finger on...something...not quite right......

Fai sat on the floor, placing a wide, stone bowl filled with water down in front of him. The wizard swirled the water once with his finger and looked deep inside....

A Woman?
A woman with long, dark hair and a wry smile.......
The Witch!


That was the voice he had heard, the voice of the witch.
And now the ninja knows......

Fai's eyes grew wide with uncertainty as he looked away from the water.
NO!
Feelings of doubt and fear made him angry, and in an uncharacteristic fit of rage, he kicked the bowl across the room, shattering it against the wall and sending pieces of jagged stone flying.

"Pu?" cried the small, black creature, hopping over to him.
Fai picked up the creature and stroked it's fur gently.
"Gomen ne, Mokona," the wizard whispered, walking to the window.
"Something's about to happen, and Fai's running out of time."

Post by: Pikari on July 26 2005, 02:10 pm
"Thanks, kid," he took the bun and stuffed it into a pocket for the time being. With that, he left the house and marched toward the castle with determination, wondering a little if Syaoran would really obey his orders.

Inside the castle, he glanced at the huge clock just inside the foyer. The King would be expecting him already, but he would have to wait. He might very well be banned as a traitor or worse before the day was over, so being a little late wasn't going to make much of a difference. He strode away from the King's throne room and in a different direction. Toward a certain scum of a wizard's quarters.

He was distracted for a moment by the rumble of his stomach. He hadn't had any breakfast this morning at all. Well, what the hell, no use saving it for lunch. He pulled the bun from Syaoran from his pocket and bit off a large chunk. Tastes funny. Damn, I bet it was moldy. When was the last time Syaoran bought bread? Doesn't matter now...

Biting off one more chunk, he stuffed the bun back in his pocket and drew his sword. With that, he barged into the wizard's room, a murderous glint in his eyes.

Syaoran returned to his uncle's home, pacing inside nervously. Looking at the empty container in his hand, a frightened look crossed his face.
What have I done, WHAT have I done?! I've poisoned uncle!!

He threw the container across the room, hearing it shatter into the wall; breaking into pieces.

Should've listened to your uncle, Kurogane, Syaoran. Never talk to strangers...


He sat onto his bed, gripping his hair and sobbing. "This is all my fault...hakufu..."

Post by: Sakaki on July 26 2005, 03:03 pm
The wizard glanced out the window just in time to see Kurogane stalking up to the castle.
He was walking quickly, with purpose, his face set emotionless, hand on the hilt of his sword.....ready...and the wizard knew exactly for what purpose.

"Time's run out, I'm afraid, Mokona," Fai slipped the small creature into his long cloak, and grabbing his staff, left his quarters through the secret tunnels, just missing the ninja coming through his door, with the intent to kill.

Time to see the king.......

Ashura paced, running his hands through his dark hair, not realising that he was messing it up in the process. Fai hadn't come to him in so long...where was his mage? The blonde wizard meant everything to him, carried him through each day...and he wasn't here.

Letting out a shaky sigh, Ashura sat down on his throne, gripping the arms tightly. Come on, Fai...I need you...why aren't you here yet?

If he'd been in a more healthy state of mind, he may have just noticed how reliant he was on the other man. How...addicted...he was to his touch.

As soon as Kurogane had come through the door, he was extremely disappointed. He'd been rather relishing to kill the wizard - it had been a while since he'd tasted the blood of battle, and if it was Fai it would make it that much sweeter. But the room  was empty.

He cursed rather loudly, circling the room... just in case he was there... all he found was a shattered vessel on the floor.

He marched toward the door, ready to track him down, when suddenly his feet nearly missed a step. The room seemed to be swaying. What the hell? He found himself grasping a desk for support. His thoughts were becoming muddled, though he tried to fight it as best he could. Something strange was happening to him. I can't be sick. Not now, not yet... What the hell is happening to me?

Leading the King to the inner, hidden part of the castle was incredibly easy,
much to Fai's delight.
For his King was so glad to see Fai, have Fai within his reach, that he could have been led happily to his own execution.

The King, never having been to the innermost part of the castle, the part of the castle that only the wizard knew of and had knowledge of, was entranced by the large glass dome, covering the shining pool of water.
"Beautiful, ne?" Fai asked the King, grinning up at him.

Post by: Ruby Chan on July 27 2005, 06:59 am
Ashura stared in wonder at the surrounding area, his breath catching at the way the water was sparkling magically. He brought me to this pefect place...god, I love him...

Shaking slightly, he caressed the blonde's face, his dark eyes missing the look of smugness on Fai's face. All he wanted to do was thank the mage for bringing him here, to repay him...closing his eyes, he leaned forward to kiss the mage...
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Sakaki on July 27 2005, 07:31 am
How nice......one last kiss from the King.......

Fai let the King's lips touch his, and then pulled away, smirking slightly.
"I never cease to be amazed by your stupidity........Ashura......"
He said outloud, then began to laugh, as the King's expression went from confusion to suspicion at the mage's harsh words.

Fai began to laugh harder, stepping away from the King and raising his staff high into the air. Seeing the look of utter confusion on the King's face, Fai spoke quickly, "It would take much too long to explain what I'm about to do to you, my dear Ashura-ou......and Fai is running out of time."
Fai could hear the ninja's footsteps from far off, getting closer, but at an odd, stumbling gait.....
So, the boy did it........ He grinned.

Still, he had no doubts that the ninja could track him down regardless of the powder that now coursed through his veins, as he was a big man, and Fai was unsure of the results it would have on him.
The ninja also had a deadly purpose, and the wizard knew that sometimes purpose could surpass many obstacles, sometimes even magic.

Fai advanced on the King, eyes gleaming.......
He could see and, enjoyed immensely, the look of confusion in the King's dark eyes, that turned to suspicion and anger......but perhaps much too late......
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Ruby Chan on July 27 2005, 07:35 am
As Fai advanced on him, it suddenly dawned on Ashura that he'd been tricked. Not just now, but from the start. Fai had never cared for him at all. Cursing as he realised that he had trustingly left his staff back in his chambers, Ashura began to mutter under his breath, summoning his own innate magic. It was harder this way, but it was the only defence he had left.

But as the ball of power took shape, he wept silently with the knowledge that it was too little, too late. It was taking too long, and there was nothing he could do.

I must help uncle...I can't let him die!

Syaoran gripped tightly to his sword and ran out the door; tears still welled up in his eyes.

No, I can't let that happen! Hakufu!

Running into the castle, he saw Kurogane...walking unsteadily. "Uncle!"
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infini
Post by: Pikari on July 27 2005, 01:07 pm
Kurogane stumbled through the halls of the castle. He took one turn after another, not really knowing where he was heading, but hoping that each step would bring him closer to the sweet revenge he so desperately needed now. Whether he lived or died didn't matter anymore. He would probably die. He'd already decided that this so-called "sickness" was undoubtedly another trick of the wizard's. Too bad the witch had failed to show him the most important part of the conversation last night between boy and mage.

Somehow he put one foot in front of the other, alternating leaning on the wall or using his sword as support. The halls in front of him blurred and came back in focus, but he pressed forward... for himself, for revenge, for...Syaoran's sake.

He heard a voice behind him. Distantly, as if in a dream... Uncle! As he turned toward the source, his mind realized it wasn't a dream at all. "Idiot!" he barked. "What do you think you're doing here?!"
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Okamirei on July 27 2005, 01:14 pm
"Uncle.."

Syaoran rushed to support the staggering ninja. Seeing Kurogane looking so weak hurt him.

Post by: Pikari on July 27 2005, 01:27 pm

Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infini
Post by: Pikari on July 27 2005, 01:54 pm
Poison... so that's what it was.

He sighed. "Alright, fine." Kurogane didn't feel the strength to argue at the moment. "I'm going to find that wizard, and when I do, I'm going to kill him." No use concealing the truth or trying to be sensitive about it. "Either you're coming with me, or better yet... find some kinda antidote for this thing. But I'd wager it's the wizard that's holding that right now."
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Okamirei on July 27 2005, 02:03 pm
Syaoran watched his uncle; full of worry.

A spark of anger lit up inside him. It was that man...that...wizard!
He wanted to hurt the mage, to express his anger...to kill him.

"I'm coming with you."

you made me do this to uncle...I won't forgive you
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Sakaki on July 27 2005, 03:16 pm
The wizard's blonde hair hung like strands of gold around his face, as he gazed across the water. And his smile was almost angelic as he looked to the King.

"As I said before, Ashura, I'm running out of time quickly now," He tilted his head to the side, listening.... "And the ninja is almost here."
But perhaps the wizard had slightly misjudged the quickness of purpose, for the ninja appeared at the doorway, swaying slightly, but there nonetheless, and ready to kill.
And the boy too...........

"Ah, an audience......." the wizard smiled. "Good."

Fai lifted his staff high in the air, once again, and began to draw the words of his magic, and the King was at once encased in glass.... the water rising up from the pool to take him.
"Goodbye, Ashura," Fai smiled. "The Kingdom will await your awakening."

Suddenly, a reflection from the glass blinded the wizard, and he put out a hand to block the glare....
In real time, only a second could have passed, but for the wizard, the vision seemed to last nearly a lifetime...........

He saw........himself......
Or was it?
It's me..........but it's not.....

He stood on a cliff...
a cliff in his own snow filled world........a place that he knew....
With wide eyes, the wizard watched himself fall from the cliff.....
watched the wind take him......no, it's not me!
and then gasped, as the ninja threw himself down to save him..

It couldn't be!
Not the very same man.............Kurogane..


And then again he saw.......

This time the ninja held him close......he felt the man's lips against his own,
felt his love, need and the strength of Kurogane's arms around him........


And then, the wizard's amazed eyes cleared.
He looked to the King, now sleeping, suspended in the pool of rippling water.
"Now we're even," He said to the King.

Fai then turned to face the ninja and the boy, eyes still filled with wonder at the vision.

The blonde wizard's eyes, wide with wonder moments before, showed only shock as the Man seemingly appeared out of nowhere to rush at the young boy, then disappeared as quickly as he had come, as if entering and exiting through an invisible door between worlds that none of them could see.

the boy.......the ninja's nephew...
he did something to the boy..............

Post by: Pikari on July 27 2005, 11:46 pm
Kurogane had been looking ahead, moving toward the wizard with a purpose. He'd just watched with amazement as the man sealed his own King inside the shimmering pool.

He hadn't been looking behind him.

Not, at least, until he heard a cry, and looked back to see Syaoran clutching his stomach, blood on his hands. A pang of cold fear shot through the stoic ninja. He turned to grab the boy, to keep him from falling. His own steadiness failed him and  he dropped to his knees holding Syaoran in his arms.

Cold and angry eyes burned into Fai. He didn't know how the wizard had done it, but this... this.... was unforgivable.

The king!
As he watched in awe, a shadow appeared before him; plunging a sword deeply into his stomach before pulling it back out and disappearing.

Syaoran let out a cry of pain and shock, clutching his stomach while blood splattered out from his mouth and gash.

Na..nani??
Gasping for breathe, he sank onto the floor... falling into Kurogane's arms.

"I'm....I'm sorry...uncle.." he whispered; panting.
Title: Re: [CLAMP Original+AU RP] Infinite Worlds, Infinite Stories
Post by: Sakaki on July 28 2005, 07:36 am
In the blink of an eye the man had disappeared, leaving the boy laying in his uncle's arms......in a pool of blood......

"I so hate violence," the mage commented. "Ah....what to do......"
The vision Fai had earlier experienced, once again flashed through his mind....
The ninja's arms around him.....saving him......holding him......
although not really him.......but him nonetheless............somewhere....


He looked to the pair, huddled on the floor, and his eyes softened.
Placing his wand onto the floor, he went to kneel in front of them.
Ignoring the anger and suspicion coming from the large man, the wizard gently pulled the boy from his grasp and lay him flat on the floor.
quickly......
for his time is nearly up.......


The ninja made to grab him, "Now, now, I'm his only hope, and time is running out. You'll just have to trust me."
Fai closed his eyes, placing his hands over the boy, who now lay still.......
His hands began to glow over the wound, and the white light grew until it was reflected throughout the domed room, bouncing off the water and dancing like crystals over their bodies......

Moments passed, the wizard looked up and smiled a tired smile at the ninja.
"He'll be fine now, I think." He sighed thoughtfully at the man, who was struggling to keep his own eyes open. "As for you......." He began, then reached into the pocket of his cloak, pulling out a small vial of clear liquid.
He stopped momentarily.....eyes far away, as if remembering......the vision
The wizard then put the liquid up to his lips, pouring the smallest few drops into his mouth, and before the ninja could protest, leaned in and pressed his lips firmly against the other man's, knowing he would be smart enough not to push him away.

"The antidote...." Fai laughed softly, breaking away. "You'll be fine now too."

Everything had become unreal, like a hazy, slow-motion dream. Kurogane wasn't sure if he was awake or asleep anymore, and his body kept getting heavier.

Syaoran was mortally wounded, that was all he knew. And now that wizard was coming toward him, surely to finish him off for good. Away... he had to get him away from Syaoran...

He was too weak by now to put up any fight when the wizard pushed him away and knelt beside the fallen boy. He watched in confusion as magic flowed from the other man's hands, illuminating the room, until his eyes widened at the realization. Slowly, the blood and wounds were disappearing. He was... healing him.

Why?


Now the wizard had turned to him. Everything was slipping fast... the room had faded to a swaying blur. The only thing in focus was a pair of strikingly blue eyes. They're too kind... they can't be the wizard's eyes. Whose eyes...?

And then... a warmth on his lips... and a small tingling sensation...

His vision cleared a little and he could see Fai's face in front of his wearing an expression of... tenderness? Kurogane wanted to strike out in anger and hatred, but he found it had all melted away. He could only stare up, speechless, at the blonde man. Strength was flowing back into his limbs, reversing the effects of the poison. The antidote.... You'll be fine now too. He looked down at his hand in amazement, then back up at the wizard, meeting the clear blue eyes that were the same, yet so different now...

Fai smiled at the man and the boy, then once again, raised his staff high in the air, beginning to write his words of magic.

"Perhaps we'll meet again in the next world........Kurogane...." He said, thoughtfully.

And with those as his last words in this world, the air shimmered
around him, and the wizard vanished.................

Syaoran stirred; waking from his unconsciousness. I'm still...alive?
He found himself on the floor, in no pain at all, as if..the wound had never been there..

Sitting up, he saw the wizard...dissipating into the air..disappearing. Perhaps we'll meet again in the next world........Kurogane.... He looked at Kurogane. "Uncle?"
Seeing the ninja as shocked as he himself, he gazed back at the empty room. Fai-san....
