We're chasing dreams without end in a world without a guide.
These overlapping feelings pierce the beating of my heart
as the unwavering verse quietly goes on.
From far away in the sky, our shadows blur together
as our memories are recorded amid inevitability and whimsy.
Even if the whirlpools of time we pass through,
were to waste away, I'll still believe in your voice.
We're chasing dreams without end in a future without a guide.
And even if I lose my light, someday,
with the twinkling flame you lit in my heart,
these fragments of hope will change into wings
"An Inevitable Meeting"
I'm home, Dad.
Yes?
Syaoran!
Welcome home! How was excavating the ruins?
Did you get hurt? Did you get any fevers? Did you make sure to eat right?
Y-yes, ma'am, it went fine.
There's that politeness.
I told you I hated polite speech.
But Princess...
Sakura.
I told you to call me by my name.
Uh, yeah...
"Sa-ku-ra."
S-Sakura.
I'm sorry...
I must be heavy, huh?
I really am glad you're back, Syaoran.
I'm home.
How long can you stay here this time?
I just came to get a change of clothes. I'm going back to work tonight.
Oh.
I do have to have some shopping to do
to get ready for tomorrow's excavation, though.
Want to come with me?
What are you acting so worked up about?
You haven't, by any chance, snuck out of the castle again, have you?
Well, when I say I'm going over to your place, Syaoran,
it puts my brother in a bad mood.
The King is just worried about his little sister.
Maybe. I get the feeling he's just being mean, though.
Wow, these look delicious!
Syaoran, let's have these for a snack today.
Would you like to take them with you?
You mean it?
For you, Princess, I do.
The Princess is here!
The Princess?
The people of this land really do love their princess.
There's the Princess!
The castle guard!
If they catch me, they'll take me back to the castle. What do we do?
Let's go!
I haven't run like that in a long while.
Me neither.
Let me stay with you here for a little longer.
It was my late father's dream to excavate those ruins.
It's been seven years, now... since you first came to this land, Syaoran.
Being an archeologist,
Dad went to the castle to get permission to study the ruins of this land.
That was the first time we ever met each other, huh?
Dad passed away partway through excavation operations,
but he said he had lived a happy life, and at the end, Dad was smiling.
Syaoran, would you like to come live in my castle?
In the castle? That would be strange.
No, it wouldn't. After all, Syaoran, you've been my friend since childhood.
Someone who isn't a member of the royal family couldn't live in the castle.
Besides, I can live just fine off my work excavating the ruins.
But still, lately, I haven't been able to see you because of your work,
and I miss you.
Syaoran, don't you miss me?
Sure I do. But excavating those ruins was me and my dad's-
I know. It was your precious dream, wasn't it?
I know that, but still, I'd like to see you.
At night, when I go to bed, I always think, "I wonder what Syaoran is up to."
"I wonder if he even thinks about me a little bit."
I do think about you.
I think about you, too.
You know what? I...
...have something I want to tell you, Syaoran.
Syaoran, I...
A-are you all right?
Just a little startled.
Once the bell rings, I have to get back.
Want me to walk you there?
Mm-mm, I'll be fine.
Um, you know what?
That thing I wanted to tell you- I'll tell you the next time I see you, okay?
I'll make sure I say it, so just wait until then, okay?
It isn't right to have these feelings, is it, Dad?
Even if we were childhood friends, she's still the princess of this land.
I see you plain as day, Sakura.
I'm home, Brother Toya.
Were you over at that kid's place again?
He's not a kid! He's Syaoran!
For a brat like that, "kid" will do.
He's not a brat! Syaoran is a great guy who lives by himself, and works hard!
He may be a great guy, but the brat is still a brat.
No he's not!
How about the two of you call an end to this?
Yukito-san!
I received this a short while earlier
from the squad of gentlemen who are excavating the ruins.
Is that?
Yes, there are more ruins than just those that are above ground.
You see? There is a road here that continues on underground, right?
Yes.
They say they will not know what lies any farther ahead until it is excavated.
Which means...
Which means that kid will be busy for a long, long, long, long time.
Brother, you're so mean!
You should not do that, my King. I feel badly for the Princess.
Drop the polite talk when it's just the two of us.
But, my King...
Yukito, we used to just be friends as kids, right?
Toya...
That kid makes me so mad.
However, he is the "Fated One," isn't he?
Mm-hmm. Syaoran-kun is Princess Sakura's Fated One.
Still...
In my foretelling,
I saw incredible hardships awaiting the two of them in their future.
The Princess has a mysterious power.
I don't know what it is, exactly,
but it is a power that will change the world.
It is also a power that beckons hardships and troubles.
For you who live in a false time, as an image reflected in a mirror,
the time is at hand.
Everything begins now.
Weak! Weak! Isn't there anyone around with a bit more backbone!?
Is it true, Souma?
Yes.
I told him not to commit such bloodshed.
What shall we do, Princess Tomoyo?
At this point, I have no choice.
Is the king asleep?
Mm-hmm. There wasn't any other way.
What will you do now, Fai?
Good question. Now that I have locked away King Ashura,
I doubt I can stay in this land anymore.
Or rather, in this world.
I have to go somewhere else- a world apart from King Ashura.
I wonder if Syaoran is still at work.
Next time I see Syaoran, I have to tell him that I've fallen in love with him.
What's that sound?
It's a pretty sound... like something is being struck...
It sounds like it's coming from the ruins.
It's calling... me...
What could this mark be?
It's not the crest of this land.
Princess?
What are you doing here?
What the!?
What was that?
Toya!
Who are these guys!?
What is this?
Sakura!
W-what's going on?
Sakura!
The power to cross dimensions,
and wings to direct the destination. That power is now reborn.
Sakura!
Sakura! Sakura!
She's growing cold, fast!
We have failed.
No, this is where it all starts.
And when it is all over, I will have the power to transcend time and space.
You're late, kid!
King!
Is Sakura all right?
Well, she...
I asked you if my sister is all right!
Yukito, have a look at Sakura.
As you wish.
Oh, my.
I have read your memories.
Light in the form of feathers scattered forth from the Princess' back, then?
Yes.
I was afraid of that. Those feathers were the Princess' mind.
H-her mind?
The memories the Princess had within her, from the time she was born until today,
have all disappeared.
And the mind that has scattered from her... is no longer in...
...this world.
What did you say!?
T-that can't be!
A body without its mind is no more than an empty vessel.
If we don't do something, the Princess will be...
Isn't there anything I can do?
Kid...
My sister...
...is in your hands.
Right.
Come, this way!
You're not stepping one foot past this point!
I am now going to send you both to a place where someone from another world lives.
And ask her how to save the Princess!
Sakura...
Well then, I guess I'm off to see the witch.
What the hell are you doing!?
You said you wanted to become stronger.
But there is no longer anyone stronger than you throughout my land.
Thus, I am sending you to another world.
You mean, you're getting rid of me like a common nuisance!
All right then, please take care of yourself.
Why, you! I won't forget this!
Princess, where did you send Kurogane?
I sent him to the one.
I'm sure she will know how to handle him.
The journey now begins.
They're here.
Who are you?
You are the Dimensional Witch, yes?
I am called by that name.
Please, help Sakura!
I beg you, please help Sakura!
You know, when this town is bathed in twilight,
there will be a little seed that drops from your hand.
If you can call this trodden-down dirt a road,
does closing my eyes count as love?
If this world had been flat,
the two of us would never have met.
We were both running to keep our distance.
But now, without reducing speed,
no matter how far apart we are,
as the miracle repeats itself,
we will come face to face again.
We will come face to face again.
