Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle

Vol. 1, Chapter 2

Cover: Sakura and Syaoran, back to back, Syaoran holding an immense...scepter-like thing.

Story:
This starts in the country of Japan. A great ninja in black is taunting (and totally demolishing) a huge group of assasins that were trying to get into the Shirasagi castle. Nevertheless, the princess of the castle, a little girl named TOMOYO, is unhappy at him because she told him to not kill unnecessarily. Kurogane, the ninja, reveils his desire to become the strongest there ever was, no matter who dies. Hearing this, Tomoyo senses that he has become a bad person, and decides to send him to another world. She tells him to find the true meaning of strength and gives him a curse as well - every time he kills someone, Kurogane's power will decrease.

Now we are in Celes country, where a humongous, foreboding castle is shown. A man with huge marks on his back looks like he is bathing in water. We see CHII (from Chobits) in the background. The man, named Fye, puts on a coat and tells Chii that he must leave Celes Country. She, with her usual innocence, has no idea what he's talking about. ^^ He then tells here that he must get as far away as he can from one King Ashura, an evil man (from the looks of it). We are then reveiled that Fye is the one who made Chii. He changes her form into a huge web-like thing that hangs over the sleeping King Ashura, before going to the witch's place.

Cut back to where Syaoran was asking the witch of dimension for help to save Sakura. The witch tells Syaoran that the feathers that were on her wings had flown into different worlds and left alone without them, Sakura would die. To save her, Syaoran must travel through many dimensions to gather the feathers and save her. Syaoran has a look of despair on his face. The witch, however, means to save Sakura. Then, all of a sudden, Fye and Kurogane from previous, appear in front of Syaoran and Sakura. Fye and Kurogane can be seen right away as total opposites. ^^ The witch tells Kurogane that he is in Japan, but a different Japan than the one he came from. Fye then says that he knows where he is - a place where wishes can be granted for a price. He and Kurogane name their wish at the same time. Fye doesn't want to go back to his world, but Kurogane does. ^^ The witch of dimension sees that all their wishes are the same - they all want to go to a different dimension. If they all go together, then they can pay together. The witch of dimension takes each person's most important thing - Kurogane's sword, called the silver dragon and Fye's tattoo. However, she doesn't name Syaoran's price.

Then, the witch brings out Mokona (from Magic Knight Rayearth) as a means to taking them to another world, but he can't control which world they end up in. Finally, the witch tells Syaoran his price - relationship. The most important thing to him is his relationship with Sakura. If she gets her memories back, he cannot be like he was to her before she lost them. He remembers the Sakura he once knew and called her his important person...The witch reminds him, if he takes Mokona, his relationship with her will be gone. Syaoran still decides to go because he must save Sakura!
