There's no going back to those days,
but I swear that now, I'll beat out your sorrow
I may not overcome it unharmed,
exhaustively marking the footprints
of the journey to meet you again
You once taught me that
the pounding of the heart is what drives us on
They haven't taken our future away,
and knowing that, I can go on
Just go on
As long as you smile, as long as you can sing,
that becomes everything that I desire
Wow
The courage you've given me, the kindness you've shown me,
gives me the strength to look forward and walk on
What is this?
Kuro-sama! The sky!
The sky is... splitting?
Princess!
Princess! Wake up!
Princess!
This couldn't have anything to do with the Princess's feather, right?
I don't know. Still...
I can feel something extraordinary...
...beyond the sky there.
What is this?
The statue of Yasha is shedding tears of blood again.
Princess, please, open your eyes. Princess!
Syaoran-kun... I was...
Princess...
Syaoran! Sakura!
Ashura-sama!
There's a mass of incredible bloodlust there.
On the other side of the sky.
It's getting closer.
Ashura-sama is the guardian deity of our troupe!
There's no way she's a god that summons calamity!
No... This can't possibly be Ashura-sama's fault...
Otherwise, I really won't...
...be able to see him anymore...
Suzuran-san...
Is that...
Moko-chan!
There are no feathers... in this world...
But there is one... in that world...
What?!
Huh? We're relocating?
We're moving to the next world?
But we still haven't found Kurogane-san and Fai-san!
Syaoran! Sakura!
Who are they?
Princess, please, open your eyes. Princess!
Princess...
What was I...
Are you all right?
I guess I was dreaming.
Where is this place?
Well...
Children?
What are you doing in a place like this?
King Ashura, are you hurt?
No.
Syaoran-kun, that woman...
Looks like we won't settle this, yet again...
...with the Yasha clan...
Kurogane-san! Fai-san!
The moon has risen all the way. That's all for today's battle.
Huh? Are we someplace different than we were a moment ago?
We can only remain there until the moon reaches its highest point.
After that time passes, we are driven out.
I know it's over there.
We are only welcome there when the moon appears in the night sky,
until it reaches its highest point.
The castle is flying in the sky. We were up there?
But, why were you fighting up there?
You can't play dumb with me. What is your objective
in pretending not to know about the fighting at the moon castle?
You wouldn't be some of the Yasha clan's men, would you?
If they were from the Yashan clan, their eyes would be jet black.
These children are not them.
Still...
Take the children to my castle.
Very well. I shall seize them at once.
No.
Invite them as my guests.
But!
Kumara!
Do not make me repeat myself.
As you command.
I welcome you, children,
to Ashura Castle.
I wonder, was that Kurogane-san and Fai-san earlier?
I don't know. But if it really was them,
why didn't they react when they saw us?
Delicious!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Is the food to your liking, my guests?
Mm-hmm, it's awfully good!
That's good to hear.
Is there something the matter?
Um... we have an instrument very similar to this in my own land.
Oh?
It's the same. Isn't that unusual? This is a different land, and all.
Sakura, can you play it?
Mm-hmm, a little bit.
I would love to hear it.
Huh?! But I don't play it very well at all!
I would like to hear it, too.
If you don't like the way it sounds, stop me right away, okay?
That's a really pretty sound.
Mokona, any sign of feathers in this world?
I sense a strong power.
Can you tell where it is?
It's strongest over there.
From that castle, floating in the sky.
Is Sakura still dreaming?
Mm-hmm, she is.
It looks like all of our travels have worn her out.
Worried?
You were concerned about Sakura all last night, too, the same way.
You two are my invited guests.
I won't let anyone in this land lay a finger on you. You can rest easy.
This bottle is very pretty. Yuko would love it.
You may have it, if you like.
Yay! Thank you!
By the way, this place is called "Shura Country," right?
Yes. This is the land that we, the Ashura clan, govern.
Who are the Yasha clan?
The people with whom we fight. For a long time, now.
They've split into two powers, and contend with each other.
Don't play dumb!
Last night, our Yasha statute shed tears of blood again.
Are you saying it's because of our Ashura-sama?
Isn't that obvious?!
If you don't agree to get out of here, then...
Then, what are you going to do?
We're going to do this!
Don't you lay a hand on our marquee star!
Don't you get in our way!
You bet I will, you big lunkhead!
Everyone who lives here is a member of the Suzuran Troupe!
As long as I'm around, you won't lay a finger--
no, you won't touch even one hair on their heads!
It's just like it was in the land of Shara.
What's more, the Suzuran Troupe's guardian deity
was a statue of Ashura.
It looked just like this woman.
Do the Yasha clan live in that castle?
No.
The Yasha clan are also only invited to that castle floating in the sky
until the moon reaches its highest point.
They don't seem to be from any of the neighboring lands, at least.
No one has ever met anyone of the Yasha clan, except for at that castle.
Then, you are fighting an opponent,
and you don't even know where they're from?
Yes. For a very long time now.
Why?
It's said that whoever obtains that castle
will be able to have their desires granted.
Their desires granted?
And because of that legend, the Ashura clan and the Yasha clan
have been spilling each other's blood for generations.
At that moon castle.
There isn't anyone who doesn't have a desire.
If ever anyone says that they don't have any desires of their own,
then that person doesn't know what's really in their own heart.
What is your desire?
--That tickles! --You said you were ona journey, right, Syaoran?
Yes.
For what reason?
There is something that I am looking for.
Is it in this land?
I don't know. However, it is possible.
I have a request.
What is it?
I'd like you to take me to the moon castle.
It's a battleground there.
You could lose your life.
I'm not going to die.
I have something that I must do, you see.
No.
King Ashura!
Not dressed like that.
Sakura just isn't waking up, huh?
It's possible that this is because we haven't
found any feathers in a little while.
I'll be back soon... Princess.
You're going to take someone we don't know anything about
to the moon castle? What are you thinking, King Ashura?!
Nothing.
I just want to see something, that's all.
Someone having their desire granted.
Here we go, Syaoran.
Right!
Kurogane-san! Fai-san!
You know those guys?!
I don't know if it's really them or not yet, but they look just like them.
Those two are strong.
Maybe even the strongest ones under King Yasha's command.
Are you sure the boy isn't in league with the Yasha clan after all?
I'm going to make sure!
Wait!
Fai-san! Kurogane-san!
Ho... it looks like the Ashura clan have so few men who are able to fight,
they have to send children like that one into battle.
Senryu hikogeki!! (Dragonflash Light Blast)
Hikogeki!!
So they're not the Kurogane-san and Fai-san
that I know after all, are they?
They're different people, who have the same souls in this world, right?
But that sword is definitely Souhi.
It's the one he got in the land of Outo, when I got Hien here.
Looks like I missed any vital points. That won't happen this time.
Hama Ryuojin! ! (Exorcising Dragon King Blade)
That's Kurogane-san's technique!
That's Souhi, all right! Could this really be Kurogane-san?
Start swinging back at me, kid.
I'll cut you clean in half this time.
Not bad. But it's still not enough!
Tenma...
...kuryusen!! (Sky dragon flash)
Your reflexes are too slow.
That's unlike you, King Ashura.
Nicely done.
Why, you...
He's mine! You keep out of it!
Yama tenroken!! (Heavenwolf blade)
I thought I said he was mine, King Yasha!
They're strong... both King Ashura and this King Yasha...
Both of them are really strong.
You haven't yet realized
that the two of us have the power to change even yesterday
For no reason, I'm lonely (lonely)
with tears streaming down my face
I'm missing my one and only (only)
the one I trace out in the sky, and that's you
Take my, take my hand, and let's go on together,
reach out, reach out your hand, and catch hold of the wind,
take my, take my hand, and do not be afraid,
hold my, hold my hand, and I can fly,
when I'm with you
Puu!
You know what? Sakura did something outrageous!
After Syaoran got back from the battlefield, she... she...
Aah! I can't say the rest!
But you know, Sakura,
there's absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about.
What did Sakura do to Syaoran? Just wait until you see!
Tsubasa Chronicles, "Two Memories."
Next time, your heart will pound over who King Yasha really is!
