The Dream that Princess Saw
Ah!
Ah.
Ah...
Wait.
Yuuko.
That Syaoran was imprisoned by the one who killed your mother.
Besides, the boy has no idea where he was kept.
Tell me the story later, witch.
All of it.
I can't help him.
What do you mean?
His eyeball was gouged out.
It wouldn't be uncommon if he died of shock.
Besides, we don't have enough medicine here.
What will happen to Fai?
Yuuko! Please, Fai is going to die.
Yuuko!
You can't.
Fai!
As long as I'm alive, Syaoran-kun's magic will also survive.
Even if it's only half the magic, it's still too strong.
Nobody will be able to... stop him.
Who told you to prepare for the worst like that?
No, Kurogane!
I'm sorry about that.
Witch, is there a way to keep him from dying?
There is.
However, if I do it, the price will be steep.
As I thought, the water underground is almost all gone.
Because I appeared there...
No, it's my fault.
As soon as I came to this world, the power submerged in the water underground attracted me.
There's something at the bottom of the water.
It's a very strong power.
Subaru!
Don't come! You'll be caught up in it, too!
I was the one who awoke that girl from her sleep.
Therefore, even though what happened afterward was bound to happen, it's my fault it happened there.
No matter how it started, the water we lost won't return.
You seem to have an idea.
Yes.
It's been a long time.
Yeah.
I have a request. I want water.
Enough to fill up the underground water tank here.
There's a price for it.
Just like the time when I granted you twins the power to cross dimensions.
I know.
Kurogane.
Ask me to fill up the underground tank with water.
And then, in exchange for requesting Subaru's wish from me,
ask him to give his vampire blood to Fai.
A vampire's healing ability far surpasses a human's.
If he receives that blood, Fai will not die.
However, it's your wish for Fai not to die.
Fai has not asked for that.
Accordingly, you have to carry the responsibility for bringing him back to life as well.
What must I do?
Be the bait.
When you feed him Subaru's blood, feed him your own blood too.
If you do that, Fai will only be able to drink your blood.
That means if something happens to Kurogane, Fai...
Will die.
I understand. I will pay for the price of the water.
So give him your blood.
Stop it...
Shut up! If you want to die that much, I'll kill you.
So live until then.
I will do it.
But, Kamui...
I don't want to give Subaru's blood to anyone anymore.
Stretch out your arm.
Hold him down.
His body is being rebuilt. It's natural for it to hurt.
Let's go. These people won't run away.
Carry the princess.
Okay.
What will happen to his left eye?
The wound he received before becoming a vampire won't recover.
If his eye was gouged out, it will stay empty.
Vampires don't stay young and live forever. That's just a legend.
These two are pure-breeds. That's why they have amazing healing abilities.
Those who become vampires are just slightly stronger and age more slowly than humans.
Fai had a long life to begin with because of his powerful magic, so nothing has really changed.
Kurogane, he has already lived a lot longer than you.
You agreed to be the bait without even knowing that?
He would've died if we'd waited even a little longer.
Besides, no matter what the witch is up to, Mokona trusted her and asked for her help.
I trust him.
Kurogane...
Fai!
He's fine now. Let him sleep for a while.
There are still things I want to ask, but I have to take care of the underground water first.
It's the guys from the tower!
Coming at a time like this...
The number of people on your side has increased somewhat.
Sakura's feather!
But, but, I didn't feel it at all.
I made it so that it couldn't be sensed.
What's this about?
This feather protects whatever's next to it.
Thanks to the feather, the tower didn't crumble, even though it was exposed to acid rain.
The Metropolitan Government Building had the same thing too, right?
But this building's feather has disappeared.
What makes you think that?
Just like the Metropolitan Government Building has someone who can foresee the future in her dreams,
we have a priestess who can sense unusual events.
Even so, what's your reason for bringing the feather here?
I want to make a deal.
I'll give this feather to the Metropolitan Government Building.
And in exchange?
Please let the people residing at the tower migrate here.
There's very little water left at the tower. It won't last much longer.
This place has water but no feather.
So, the Metropolitan Government Building provides water, and the tower provides the feather.
Rather then expanding our living space, I think both sides will benefit if we all live here. What do you say?
I can't decide. Because I'm leaving.
I see.
Are you planning to leave this country, Kamui?
Yeah.
If that's the case, it will be hard to win against the tower people.
Since they have him.
I guess we have no choice but to accept.
That belongs to Sakura!
It's something really, really important to Sakura.
We traveled all the way here to look for it!
Even though one of us isn't here right now, but...
Wait.
Sakura!
Regarding the feather, please wait.
Open the jar.
What's this about?
The amount of water doesn't match the size of this jar.
This water was never sterilized, so the power of nature still remains in it.
It's very strong.
Nevertheless, if it gets contaminated again, the same thing will happen.
You have to reform the structure of this world before the water runs out.
But what kind of structure should it be?
How about the container with the feather? What is that about?
This country has neither magic nor magical power.
No machine is needed or should be created to defend against them.
This thing doesn't belong here.
I brought it from another dimension four years ago.
Good afternoon, Yuuko-san.
Since I came to this world, I had no way to contact you, so please forgive me.
You found that container, too, didn't you?
Yeah, because that's my job.
I'm a hunter.
I search for valuable items in different worlds, either by request or because I want them myself.
That's why, even though we're both hunters, we search for different things. My elder brother and I.
Nice to meet you. You're Subaru-san, right?
Thank you for taking care of Seishirou-nii-san.
It's him, eh?
Are you the younger brother of that hunter?
Seishirou-nii-san hasn't made it to this world yet.
So let's take care of this Tokyo's business first.
Please go ahead, Yuuko-san.
The price of the water.
Okay.
I will...
I will do it.
Sakura?
After that, please tell me.
The things that happened while I was asleep.
Yuuko, the rain of this country really hurts.
There are huge creatures around, too. It's very dangerous.
That's why she must fetch a certain item from the place I told her about.
That will be the price.
I'm sorry.
Because I told you to "please stop"...
So please, rest now.
Moko-chan, you should rest, too.
Please take care of Fai-san.
You won't listen anyway, even if I say something, right?
Go. We'll be right here.
Until you come back.
Okay.
What's the matter?
Seishirou-san is...
He seems to have slowed down with age, but other than that he's doing just fine.
He said he wanted to see you.
He said he'd keep looking for you until then.
I won't let him catch up with us.
I wonder.
Oops, let's not cause a fuss here. There are people waiting here.
Your name is "Syaoran", too, isn't it?
Yeah.
It was lonely to be locked up by yourself the whole time, wasn't it?
No. I watched your journey through another me.
In that case, it must've been even more lonely. Because we looked happy, didn't we?
Even though we went through pain and hardship, we looked really happy, didn't we?
I'm sure... you wanted to travel with us.
You're right.
Good morning, Kurogane.
Don't move.
Fai.
I'm sorry to have worried you, Mokona.
Mokona, can you sleep while keeping communications open like that?
I want to talk to Fai alone.
Okay.
You and Kurogane...
We talked already.
"Good morning, Kurogane."
Is that your answer?
At first, I wanted to call him by his proper name, like Syaoran-kun, Sakura-chan, and Mokona.
Somehow it's fun to see him get mad from calling him different names every time.
Since I'd never called anyone by a nickname before.
It was so much fun that I didn't notice I'd crossed a line I drew for myself.
That's why I can't forgive him for choosing to keep me alive.
If I talk to him, we'll become close to each other again.
Remember this.
Your pain is also their pain.
Is Sakura-chan still sleeping upstairs?
No.
She's outside.
Thank you.
You didn't wear it of your own free will, right?
But... it's not something you want to see.
She said the owner of that crest kept you imprisoned the whole time.
Yeah.
But I have no idea which world it was.
Even if I knew, I couldn't take you there, since I don't have the magical power to cross dimensions.
That's not your fault, either.
Even after this, I'll keep hurting people or taking things away for selfish reasons.
I will definitely pay for my sins, just like I did now.
But, even so, I want to get it back... your lost heart.
Syaoran-kun...
Why did you let Sakura-chan go get the payment by herself?
It's broken.
Wait, Fai!
Are you planning to go find the princess?
What if I am?
Don't go. Wait here.
She might be hurt somewhere.
No, if she's just injured, it's still all right.
But, if she's lost her life, she won't be able to come back anymore.
The princess was prepared for that, too.
If you know all that, why...
Found it. But there aren't any more footprints.
Who are you?
That's why I believe in the princess.
She promised to come back to the people who are waiting for her.
I will wait.
I can't wait.
If you try to stop me again, it will turn into a fight.
What if...
What if you get injured by going to help her?
Sakura... nah, the princess will be hurt even more.
Just like you don't want the princess to get hurt.
The two of you really are alike.
Sakura!
Sakura-chan!
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I couldn't do anything when you were in pain, Fai-san.
I'm sure you're in a lot more pain than I am, even now.
Sakura-chan...
Even so, I'm glad you're alive.
I have indeed received the price of the water.
The one who stole your memories at the ruins of Clow Country, Princess Sakura, is a man called Fei Wong Reed.
Fei Wong's true purpose is to scatter your memories.
For what reason?
For the sake of his wish.
Two things are needed to fulfill his wish.
One is the ruins buried in Clow Country.
The other is to have you traveling between different worlds looking for your memories.
Crossing dimensions and even crossing time itself to recall times and spaces.
At the start of the journey, Sakura was always asleep.
She couldn't remember what happened when she was asleep.
What Fei Wong wanted wasn't the memories of Sakura's heart.
It's the memories of the container called the body.
The body can remember different dimensions and worlds.
That is Princess Sakura's power, the ability to transform the world.
For that reason, Fei Wong turned Princess Sakura's memories into feathers and scattered them in different dimensions.
To make you go on a journey to gather the feathers, he kidnapped Syaoran, who knew about his scheme.
He created another Syaoran, who gave priority to gathering feathers over everything else.
He murdered Kurogane's mother...
and destroyed her country.
How is that related?
So that you would leave Suwa and become a ninja of Japan Country.
You would then serve under Princess Tomoyo and go on a journey one day.
I served under Princess Tomoyo of my own free will.
Yes, Princess Tomoyo believed so too.
That's why she sent you out, even though she knew about Fei Wong's intentions.
Fai, it's the same for you as well.
Whether it's a plot or not, you already knew, right?
To help Princess Sakura cross different dimensions and remember them safely, he brought you all together.
As fellow travelers.
Your initial encounter and departure on a journey together were indeed planned,
but all the choices afterwards were made of your own free will.
Therefore, you should make your own choices too from here on.
I'm going to continue... the journey, in order to look for Syaoran-kun.
If you continue to chase after Syaoran, you will be going along with Fei Wong's plan.
Even so...
I'm going.
Can I... go with you too?
Right now, Syaoran-kun's right eye is my left eye.
Because the same sources of magic attract each other, I might be able to help find Syaoran-kun.
Is that how you truly feel?
Aren't you hiding what you really want to do?
It is what I really want to do, my only princess.
I want to go on the journey with you too.
Kurogane, what about you?
I'm going back to Japan Country. That won't change.
But there are things that have changed.
There can be more than one promise.
Kurogane-san...
What about you, Syaoran?
There's something I want to get back.
I might not able to get it back,
but, if I can protect it, I want to protect it.
I see.
Then go, in accordance with your own wishes.
Thank you for healing Sakura's and the others' wounds.
They aren't completely healed though.
No. Thank you very much.
Kamui, Subaru, and Fuuma, thank you.
It was nothing.
I didn't do anything.
Sorry about the bike and compass.
It's okay. Don't worry about it.
Besides, my older brother has something that's the same as this feather.
He seems to be in more trouble.
So, is that really okay?
Yes. The feather will remain in this country.
Are you guys really leaving? At least stay till your injuries have healed!
We'll try to return to you what you have left behind for us.
When you guys come next time.
Okay.
I wonder who she was.
Was she a dream? An illusion?
Or...
