[TRC] The Missing Worlds part 7 (PG-13; no spoilers; Sakura/Syaoran, Kuro/Fai.)

The Missing Worlds - Castle In the Air I
Rating: PG-13
Spoilers: This story is set in the uncertain period after Piffle World, but before Recourt; in other words, in the same never-neverland that the second season of the anime mostly took place in. This means that Fai has not yet learned to whistle, Syaoran is still the original Syaoran, and nobody knows anything about Kurogane's childhood.

Summary: An argument, and a peaceful little town.

( The ceiling sloped down here, following the sharp arch of the roof; a little door, half the size of the normal ones, led to a tiny closet. Sakura pulled the door open, and then screamed. )

Author's Notes: If you're wondering why Kurogane gave up on getting an answer from Fai so quickly, it's because he didn't want to have that argument in front of the kids. When I went back through the series, I realized that all the times Kurogane confronts Fai about his secrets - in Outo, in Piffle, in Shara, and in Tokyo - it's when they're alone together. I don't know whether it's because he doesn't want to disturb the harmony of the group, or he figures Fai would be more truthful without an audience, or both.
