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
S-Sakura...
Let's go, Cyunyan.
Go? Where are we going?
Sakura?
You repugnant kid! I'll bury you with my own two hands!
Hijutsu?
That's right! My father has cast his Hijutsu on me!
How do you like my power?
"A Farewell Mirror"
The attack on the castle has begun!
We're going to go help them!
Sakura, where exactly are you planning on taking me?
Come, and you'll see.
I want to go to the lord's castle, like Syaoran and the others,
and everyone else in town!
How many times do I have to say it?
Right now, there is something else that you must do.
A-All right.
What has come over Sakura? She's just like Mother was when she got angry.
All right! The hijutsu that was cast over the castle is gone!
You guys keep watch out here.
You got it.
The rest of you, come with me.
Syaoran!
What, is that all the power you've got!?
My father's Hijutsu really is invulnerable!
Ah, having them change shape,
as well as moving as fast as they do, is too much for me.
The squishy things are all swelling up and shrinking down.
You urchins have a fair amount of backbone.
Nobody has lasted this long since the renowned sorceress
from the town of Ryeon Huei.
By that, do you mean Cyunyan-chan's mother?
Now that you mention it, she did say she had a daughter by that name.
What this town needs is not that foolish lord and his son,
but rather people like you urchins, and that sorceress.
I cannot leave this place at present.
As outrageous as it may be, I must follow the orders...
...of one who does not know his own place, who sees fit to control me as he pleases.
I hate to have to say this, my urchins,
but it is nigh time we said farewell.
Wow, you could say this is our greatest pinch.
To be either crushed or dissolved, huh? Either way, we're done for.
Um, this could be a problem.
I can't die so soon.
You don't want to die, but even in the situation we're in,
you're not going to use your magic or whatever?
Mm-hmm. Sorry.
Makes no difference to me.
So what about you, Kuro-mi?
I'm not dying here, either. I still have to go back, after all.
To the world I came from.
That white Manju bun isn't going to relocate
until they find the princes's feather, right?
In that case, let's put an end to this, and move on to our next world.
I don't want to stay in one place for very long, either.
Why not?
If this person who is sleeping beneath the water
in the land where I came from wakes up,
he might come after me.
I have to flee from him, to various other worlds.
Are you done with your final words?
Well, what shall we do? It looks like we're in a real bind.
And now,
farewell!
Hey...
Rushing to your deaths, are you, urchins?
What!?
Syaoran! Syaoran!
What is this thing? Something you created with hijutsu?
I've heard stories that some of the government's Mitteishu practiced Hijutsu.
Are you really mitteishu!?
If so, that's all the more reason why I have to finish you off right here!
Stop!
This leg of yours got messed up by Kiishimu, didn't it?
How do you like this? Does it hurt? Is it painful?
You seem to be good at using kicks, but while you're favoring your injured leg,
there's no way you can defeat me!
I'm not favoring it.
What was that?
It makes no difference if I am injured anywhere.
Once I've decided to do something, I do it.
That's all there is to it.
You're quite the tactician.
I happen to hate the rain.
So...
...would you stop it, already!?
Don't tell me Kiishimu has been beaten!
What about my son?
W-What's this?
There's no way I can lose... The power of the lord of Ryeon Huei's-
the power of my father's Hijutsu... is i- invulner-
Syaoran wins!
Yay!
I know... If I can use those guys...
If you try anything else funny...
What spell have you cast this time?
That was to thank you.
I was held the lord's prisoner by the hijutsu stone on my forehead.
So that's it. And now Kuro-pon has destroyed it.
I am now free.
I have no intention of blocking you two intrepid urchins
from the way to that foolish father and son.
What's the matter?
He's about to play yet another dirty trick, isn't he?
It's the lord!
You fools!
You will learn the terror of my hijutsu!
The town has changed completely because of this feudal lord.
But when you come out this far away from town,
the old familiar view still remains.
What are you talking about, Sakura?
You said this was the first time you've ever come to this town.
Cyunyan...
M-Mother?
Mother!
Mother...
I've missed you, Cyunyan.
I won't let those kids do as they please any longer. To that end...
Understood?
As you command.
But Mother, how were you able to get your spirit to dwell within Sakura?
It is because the lord sealed my spirit up within his gates.
I will not even permit condolences to be paid toward those who defy me.
Mother!
Your mother's soul will not be called home to Heaven,
nor will it find rest in the earth,
but will wander for eternity in a barren otherworld!
Mother! Mother!
Now, all those who would impede me are gone.
This town is now mine!
Once I was sealed inside the gates, I went on waiting for the day...
...when someone with the special powers of one of God's favored daughters came.
Then, this girl came along.
Beloved daughter of God, now, go forth.
Return back to the place where you belong, together with the one you love.
Princess!
This place?
Do you remember?
There's no way I could forget.
This is the place where you showed me the fan hijutsu, Mother.
You don't even have a hijutsu item...
Items are ultimately used only to strengthen the power of one's hijutsu.
Now, Cyunyan, please show your mother your own power.
Why? Why can't I make my power work the way you did, Mother?
It's because you have forgotten what I told you.
Remember my words to you at the time.
Your words, Mother?
Hijutsu is the power to bring happiness to others.
"One must never use it for one's own self-interest."
Yes.
So that's why.
I was only thinking of defeating the lord with the power of my Hijutsu.
But it doesn't work like that.
My power is there to bring happiness to someone else.
Now, one more time.
I-I did it.
Cyunyan, your hands.
What's this?
A gift from your mother. It's a Hijutsu mirror.
A Hijutsu mirror?
Using that, you can bring happiness to others. Understand?
Yes.
I have to be going now.
Mother!
Cyunyan, this is goodbye.
No, Mother, I want you to stay with me longer! Stay by my side always!
I cannot do that.
Then, someday, I promise you
that I will use my hijutsu to bring you back to life, Mother!
That wish cannot be granted, either. No matter what power you may use,
a life that has been lost can never return. That is why life is so precious.
But don't forget that your mother is always at your side, watching over you.
Goodbye, Cyunyan.
Mother!
Are you going to the castle?
Mm-hmm, that's right!
Oh, it's you. Don't startle me like that.
What's wrong?
My Lord has commanded.
Come with me.
Here, Mokona?
Mm-hmm. This is where the mysterious power is strongest!
We've finally found it.
Here!
Sakura! Cyunyan!
Mekyo! It's Sakura's feather!
So, it was here after all.
For you to be able to break through my hijutsu,
you would have to be mitteishu from the government.
Let them down.
Word about me has gotten back to the government, has it?
Well, even if it has, as long as I have this, I can defeat even the mitteishu-
Let those two down.
Syaoran!
Just try to lay a finger on me. Those two will lose their lives.
Come!
Who are they?
These are the people of this town.
They forgot their place, and attacked my castle,
so I placed a hijutsu over them.
They are now my soldiers, who move according to my will.
Are you able to defeat these men, boy!?
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.
Puu!
The battle between Syaoran and the evil feudal lord at last reaches its climax!
But Sakura and Cyunyan have been taken hostage!
Syaoran is in a huge pinch!
But then, a surprising ally comes to his aid.
Huh? You recognize the mitteishu's faces from somewhere, you say?
Just wait until you see whose faces they are!
