In Japan (XXXHOLIC)3rd Person



In a magical shop there was a tall beautiful pale woman with long beautiful hair and crimson eyes getting ready for her customers.

She wore a long black dress that was low all the way to the ground,long sleeves with a traditional Japanese head piece tying up her head.

'The time has come she thought' as she got finished with her outfit.

She checked to make sure everything was in place then she went outside in the pouring rain.

The woman through in the rain wasn't surprisingly getting wet.

A young boy with Black hair and glasses stood outside with a questioning look on his face.
"Yûko-San?What's it is that get up?"he asked.

"I'm prepared..."she began her sentence.
"For the children to come."

"Huh?" Was all he mustered out when the woman whip her head to the sky.

"Here they come."
The boy watched with complete surprise as a bump started to form out of the sky and it started to fall down the ground.

It bursted letting out a gust of wind to reveal two people on the ground.

A boy with chocolate brown hair with a determined expression on his face was clutching a pale unconscious girl with caramel colored hair.
The boy wore a black sleeve-less shirt ,tan pants,black boots with a brown cloak covering his back and googles hanging from his neck.The unconscious girl wore a gipsy looking outfit with white and purple-pink colors.

The boy was looking up at the woman named Yûko.

He asked quickly,"Are you the Dimensional-Witch?"

"I had been called that" Yûko replied to the boy.

"Would you please I need you to save Sakura!!!"he exclaimed with worry on his face.

She looked down on him and the girl named Sakura.
"This child is named Sakura,right?"she asked the boy.

"...Yes..."he replied looking at Sakura .

"And your is...?"asked Yûko .

"My name is Syaoran."he responded back.

Yûko bended slowly down to put her hand over the girl's forehead.
A strange emitting glow came from her fingertips as they hovered over her.
"This child has lost something precious to her,Yes?"Yûko questioned Syaoran.

"Yes." said Syaoran clutching her tighter to his chest.

"And that thing has scattered into many worlds.If it continues to be like this the girl will die."she commented sadly.
Syaoran clutched Sakura closer to his chest as he didn't ever want to let her go.
"Watanuki"called Yûko as she got up.

Watanuki startled at the sound of his name responded "Y-Yes?"
"Go to the treasure there's something you need to bring here."The two young girls one wearing a devil outfit and another an angel outfit dragged Watanuki to where he needed to go.

"Do you wish to help this girl?"she asked as she turned toward him."Yes!"he replied immediately."There is a price are you willing to pay it?"she asked to make sure."I will do it!"he answered with sheer determination in his eyes.

Yûko's head rose quickly up to the sky.

She smiled."Here they come."Syaoran's eyes widened with surprise.Two blobs formed from two different places one from the ground another from the ground.Both of the blobs burst out to reveal two different men.

One of the men was tall,slender with sky blue eyes,blond hair. He wore a huge ,long white coat with blue markings that matched the color of his eyes.The blond man carried a golden staff with a crystal that seemed
to float in mid-air and the color also was the same color if his eyes.

The other man seemed to be the opposite of the other man.This man was taller with tan skin,crimson eyes,black hair,and was wearing something that looked like a something a samurai or ninja wore in ancient Japan.The only color that wasn't black was his red hair gear that matched his eyes.This man had a long sword in his belt.

"Who the hell are you?"
"Are you the Dimensional Witch?"
The two men answered at the same time then glared at each other.

"Your names first,"Yûko gestured her hand toward the two.

The ninja smirked."My name is Kurogane."replied the black ninja bluntly.
"Where the hell is this place.What are all these strange buildings here?"he questioned as he looked at his surroundings.
"It's Japan,"said the witch Yûko.
"Yes...A different one."she told him.
"I don't understand!"Kurogane yelled at her.

Yûko ignored him and turned to the blond.
"Your name is?"
He smiled then bowed politely.
"I'm a Celes wizard,Fai D. Flowright."

Yûko turned quickly up to the sky once again.
She smiled up there "Here she comes..."
The wizard Fai widened as he too turned to the sky.He wasn't informed of this.Everybody turned to the sky as yet another blob has formed.

~Ariana POV~

After I blacked out, I awoke to be in a tube surrounded by rings going toward a light.WTF!!!!Where the hell am I!!?!??I felt my whole body being pulled toward the Light.Oh my Kira!(Death Note ReferenceXD)

Well here goes nothing...

I came out of the light side.Am I dead?Something surrounded my body then bursted after that I was falling.Raindrops smacked my face as I came tumbling down.The ground got nearer and nearer as my body spinner around and around.I opened my mouth to scream as I got closer to the ground.

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!SOMEBODY ANYBODY HELP ME!!!!"I cried as the ground came closer to a few more feet.
I shut my eyes waiting for the impact of my body slamming to the ground fatally.

Huh?There was no splat?

I opened my eyes to meet eyes that outdid even the sky.
They were so pretty but why did it look so animated ?
I blinked and realized that the eyes belonged to a man.
Few seconds later I realized that this man saved me from my untimely death.
I should thank this guy...
He was holding me bridal style in his arms with my head on his chest.

Wait ,bridal style ?

RAPE!!!

"Let me go!" I yelled at the man I noticed had blond hair and blue eyes.
"I am not a fucking princess!I don't care that you saved my life but hell no to the bridal style. I ain't no damsel in distress!"I yelled at his face.
This in return startled him so much he dropped me on my butt.
Ow,bitch I thought as I rubbed my sore behind.

This isn't my day isn't it Mom?

I got up from the ground and looked around my surroundings.
I raised my eyebrow in question .

Where exactly am I ???

The place I was in was surrounded by tall buildings and rigs place was squished in the middles.It looked strange however excuse of its smaller size and design.This building had moon crescents all over it but that wasn't the only funny part.
Everything and I mean EVERYTHING was animated like an anime.Now that I notice both me and the man are animated too!

Woah!Did I hit my head or something or am I in an anime ?

"Ah-hem!"somebody coughed behind me.
"Wha?"I responded as I turned my whole figure to face more people.
There was a tall,pale woman with extremely long jet black hair,a man that looked like a ninja,and a young boy that looked like the same ages as my sister Nina clutching a girl that looked asleep.
They wore strange outfits and look animated too!

Wait why does this look familiar?

Wait a minute!I turned around to look at the man again.
Is that Tamaki Souh from Ouran Highschool Host Club?
No Tamaki is much younger then this guy.

Come on Ariana you can do this remember .
I rubbed my temples in frustration when I inspected the man again.
He wore a strange big long winter coat that had strange blue markings
and carried a golden staff with a floating crystal on it.

Wait...It's coming to me.

Then it hitted me like a ton a bricks.

Fai.

OH MY GOD!!!

I'm in Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles!

Oh Hell to the NO!

My agh! I'm an otaku for crying out loud and I didn't know this .Im a failure of an otaku!
The long haired woman I knew as Yûko from XXXholic tapped me on the shoulder.
"Care to introduce yourself?"she asked me .

I raised my finger in a 'wait a moment 'gesture then I walked to a nearby tree and hitted my head multiple times on it.
All of them sweat dropped as I did this.

You people think I am lucky being transported into an anime?
Well here's a news flash people!
I am in anime that could endanger my life and hurt me in any way possible and this is a CLAMP anime/manga.
I'm gonna be so screwed by the end of this!

I gave another hit to head with the tree when finally I walked back to the group of people I now know as the TRC cast.
Everybody got 'Is this girl mental?'look on their faces as I walked right up to them.

Yûko folded her arms and smirked,"Are you ready to introduce yourself ?"
I gulped then took a huge breath of air till I decided to speak.
"My name is Ariana Smith from America."I finally said to her.

"Now as was I was saying just a few moments before..."she turned to the others ignoring the scene that I had not too long ago.
"You do know what this place here is right?"Yûko asked Fai.
He smiled,"Yes,this is a shop where wishes are granted with a price."
"That is Correct.That is why you are all here.You all have a wish to be granted."

And what does that have to do with me?I want nothing.I don't even know why I am even here.

"I wish to never return to my world"
"I wish to return to my world ."
Both Fai and Kurogane spoke at the same time.
They both glared at each other again.

"All of you have a wish even if you offered all the precious things you own it wouldn't be enough."

Man you made it very dramatic.

"What crap are you saying!!?' Kurogane asked loudly
angrily.

Me and Fai covered our ears because of his outburst.

"Please lower your insults Mr.Black, asked Fai pressing his hands to his head tighter.

"Its not Mr.Black!!" yelled Kurogane angrily with tick marks on his forehead.

"Aw shut up and listen what she got to say!" I told him with a scowl annoyed.

Kurogane glared back with a scrowl reflected back on his face but he said nothing else.

"Your three wishes are the same."Yûko continued on .

She identified their wishes.

To Syaoran "You wish to travel through the worlds to collect this girls memories to save her life."

To Kurogane"You wish to return to your home world."

To Fai "You wish to travel across other worlds to avoid your home world.

"Your methods are differently the method is the same.You have to go to different worlds is what you seek.Each of your wishes I can't grant individually but if you all pay together you all may afford the cost."

"And what do I have to give ?"asked Kurogane.
"Your sword."
Kurogane freaked out"What!?!!I never give away my silver dragon!!!"he yelled gripping his sword tighter.
"Well you then you will wander this world as a crazed cosplayer while the police pick you up for you carrying an unlawful sword get your face plastered all over the TV."she said every word as she poked him in the chest playfully.

Kurogane tried to register what she just said and he repeated"Teevee ?" "Polee?"

I tried my very best not to laugh at this very scene but Kurogane saw this and narrowed his eyes as me as to say 'shut up or I'll kill you' so I didn't.

Yûko smirked and putted her her hand on her cheek.
" you do realize that you at you are trapped here and I'm am the the only person here that can get you out?"
"Bullshit!!"
"It's true,"Fai announced to him using his hands as a megaphone.
"Really ?"he grunted out pointing to Yûko .
Fai only smiled and laughed.
"What's its gonna be tough guy?"she asked her hand opened toward him.
"Tch!"he glared at her angrily.
"Shit!" He said while putting his sword back into its cover.
"When this curse is gone I'll return to get this!"he said holding the sword in front of her.
What seemed like magic swirled around the sword and carried it to a one of the little girls.

Yûko turned her head to Fai "Your price is the tattoo on your back."
His eyes widened in surprise as if he didn't expect that.
"Will this staff do?"he asked hopefully with a sheepish smile holding up his golden staff.
"I told you the price must be your most precious thing."
He smile sadly with a sigh "I guess I have no other choice."
A beautiful Phoenix shaped tattoo flew from under his clothes and went toward the other little girl.

"And you what will your price be?"she asked Syaoran still holding Sakura in his arms.
"And now is the time to hand over your item of highest value.And you be able to travel worlds.
He looked at Sakura and stroked her face with a look of love and worry.
He looked back up with fiery determination that looked incredibility real unlike anything I ever seen in my lifetime.
"You realized that I hadn't named the price yet."
"Yes!"he confirmed to her not wavering.

As she talked I thought 'must escape!!!'
'Sorry Syaoran and the others I thought' as I turned away.
I didn't notice but a pair of sky blue eyes watched me in wonder.
I tried to tiptoe away from them as they talk and towards the front gates .

'I not gonna be a part of this dang plot' as I got to the entrance 'nope sirre am I going to be one of those people like those fanfictions .' I thought as I got closer.

"The only thing I can do is send you to other dimmesions.Finfing the child's memories is something you have to do. "
"Fine!"he yelled without hesitation.
Yûko smile at his words.
"I like your attitude."

Almost there just a few...

"Where do you think you are going child?" I jumped with a yelp of surprise .

Busted...
"Ah leaving to..."I scratched the back of my head laughing nervously .

She crossed her arms as she looked at me with a look that told its serious.
"No child your destiny is intertwined with these people so you must go.Someone already paid your price and you must go on this journey with these children."she said as she gestured her hand to the travelers.

My breath caught in my thought .What!!??!?!

"W-who paid the price for me?"words stuttered out of my mouth before I can't stop them.
She smiled sadly,"That I can't tell you."

Someone paid the price for me to go to this journey. ?Why and how??!?
I just don't know.Could it have been somebody I known ?

"Can't I just stay here instead?" I asked her hopefully.
She shook her head"No child you stay here.Its not your destiny.Your purpose is to travel through worlds with them to help on their journey."
"Wh-what about my home?"I asked her my voice lowering.
"You can't go back home ."she shook her head with the sad smile on her face.
What about Nina,Mia ,or Dad ?They must be worried sick about me!

My hands curled into fists ,gritted my teeth,and I stood shakily as she talked on.
"But you can't go on this journey without payment like the others.Its only fair too."she said giving me that hypnotizing look.
I gulped awaiting my fate to be told .
"Your price will be the memories of you mother ."she said finally after a long silence.

My eyes widened at what was said.

Memories of my mother!!!But I can't!Why?

"I'm afraid you don't have a choice in the matter."she said to me as I looked to the ground.
Fai gave me a look of sorry and he looked as he was about to say something when I gave him a glare to shut up.

I hate it when people try to comfort me when they don't even understand themselves .
"Ok I will not resist ok ?"I told her angrily narrowing my eyes throwing my hands around .

Good Bye MoM I always love your forever.I hope to see you in heaven.
She reached toward me bad I closed my eyes in preparation.

I imagined my mother one last time with her long beautiful raven black hair,sparkling blue eyes,and delicate figure wearing her signature long red shirt with a rose on it and flowery pink skirt.

Mommy I love you!

As Yûko took her hand off my head I thought some confused thoughts.What was thinking about again ?What was the payment?
I almost fainted right there and then but not before Fai caught me with his arm to support me.

"Thankyou."I finally said to him as I got back to my senses.

He smiled back at me with what I detected was sympathy?
"Are you sure you are ok ?"he asked me with concern.
"I'm fine."I said with a closed -eye smile.
He gave me another look that looked a little sad not believing me?Geez he only known me for what 5 minutes and he already cares for a girl like me.
While we were having talking I missed what Yûko said.
"Hey are you listening over there?"I heard her say.
"Huh?" was all I mustered at as me and Fai turned to Yûko.
She was holding a cute little white bunny with long floppy ears and a big red jewel on its head.Watanuki was holding a black version of the bunny.

Awww.wait I should be going oh no.

"The name of this young one is Mokona Modoki.Mokona will lead you through worlds."
The black Mokona in Watanuki's arms smiled wide and waved his paw at us.
Kurogane held out his hand to Watanuki"Hey you got an extra I'll go home with that"he smirked.

Somebody wants to complete his fashion statement!Good job emo ninja !Ah Damnmit it isn't the time for jokes.

"No. That's how we keep in contact.The only power this one has is to stay communication with Mokona."she said pointing on the Mokona on her hand and the other in Watanuki's.Kurogane just grunted.

"Mokona will take you to different dimensions,but there is no way to control which dimension.For that reason,only will fate will decide when your wishes will be granted.However, there is coincidence in the world. What is thereis only" Hitsuzen ". And what bought you together was also "Hitsuzen".She spoke to us as she held the white Mokona is her hands.
She looked at Syaoran ,"Syaoran your price is ..."
She continued ,"Your relationship."
When the words sunk in Syaoran's eyes widened then looked at the dying princess in his arms.
"The thing you value the most is your relationship with her.So that is your price."

Oh no here it comes ...

Syaoran asked confused"My price?But how-?"

"Even if this child's memories are completely restored your relationship with her will never be the same again.So what is she to you?"
Syaoran closed his eyes for a moment to think.
"A childhood friend..."he began .
"And a princess of a country.And a girl who is precious to me!"His grip on Sakura tightened .

"I see...But however if you want to use Mokona that relationship will end.Even if you return all her memories the part about you won't return.That's your price." she told him as her eyes softened.

I can feel the air tensioned as she said that.

"Will you still pay it?" she asked again.

"Let's go.I will NOT let Sakura die!!!"he said with pure hard fire in his determined eyes.

I thought I never give respect to anyone but Syaoran sure got my respect.My whole being can 't help by feel sorry for whats going to him and the others on this journey.

"Travel between worlds is more difficult than you can imagine.There are many worlds for example.These people come from difficult worlds.You can tell from their clothes,can't you?That the worlds you from are different." she explained to him about this journey.

I looked at my own clothes to see I still have my private school uniform on.It was a white collared shirt,plaid pants,black tie,thin black jacket with buttons down the sides,and worned out red converses.They too were animated,like the rest of me and soaked.

Wonder whats my face look like?What about my family?Hey maybe I am dreaming?Yeah I hope...

"People you know.People you've met on your world.They've developed under completely different conditions on other worlds.You may meet different versions of the same person time after time on different worlds.and just because that person is nice to you on one world doesn't mean you will find a ally on the next.You'll find world's where you cant communicate or where even common sense doesn't work.scientific development,standard pf living,laws...All change with the worlds.There are worlds full of criminals,worlds of liars,worlds with constant wars,And you must live through them all.It will be a journey in which you won't know where you are nor how close to collecting all of the fractured pieces of memory."she smiled at Syaoran," But you are still steadily determined,right?"

"Yes!" he said without hesitation.

"Sincerity and determination...qualities that are indispensable in order to accomplish anything.And it seems you are well provided with both...And so.." she said as swirls surrounded mokona and it lifted her up the air.A symbol that was probably magic appeared under Mokona and Wings sprung from her back."You May go!" she ended her sentence as Mokona was about to swallow us up.

I gasped at the wind smacking my face,sucking me up again.I grabbed on the closest thing next to me.I felt something fluffy under my fingertips.It turned out to be Fai's coat and the last thing I saw before we were transported were his beautiful sky blue eyes.
