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
We've arrived in the next world!
Oh? Kuro-sama, aren't you going to get mad, like you always do?
I'm tired of it.
Listen to what Kuro-pon said.
I'm so down. Him saying that makes me a little sad.
It's just a stone figure, huh?
When I first looked at it, it startled me.
It was made quite a long time ago.
I would say, probably several thousand years ago.
Syaoran-kun, you're always so deeply involved with archeology, huh?
You must get that from your old man.
Yes.
This bug seems to be the model for the stone figure.
The real thing is tiny and cute.
You're right.
The people who used to live in this area anciently
probably raised crops in fields.
That bug ate the harmful insects that ravaged their crops.
That's why I think the people revered them as being merciful gods.
Hmm, makes sense.
Don't be misled by appearances. Find the hidden inner essence.
My dad always said that that is the most important thing.
And your father's way of thinking
has been passed on to you, even now, Syaoran-kun.
So, do you sense any feather wavelengths?
That's the thing. It feels a little strange,
like there's one there, only not.
Looks like there's a town.
Does anyone else remember seeing something like this before?
Now that you mention it, it does seem like...
I remember! I'm sure that we've been to this place before.
I'm sure you must be one of God's favored daughters, Sakura.
God's favored daughters?
My mother always used to say that that's what people
who have especially good fortune are called.
Have you always been like that?
I don't know.
Why not?
The only thing I can remember is my name,
and a town in the middle of the desert.
Aside from that, I can't remember anything.
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked that.
Mm-mm.
Right now, I'm told that we're journeying to gather my lost memories.
I may have forgotten, but that's what I've been told.
I want to see Chu'nyan.
When I see her, I have so much I want to tell her.
Me too.
I wonder if Kuro-sama wants to see Kiishimu-san,
You've gotta be kidding.
Huh? Kuro-rin, you smooched someone?
Was she older? Younger?
You don't by any chance have a wife and kids, do you?
Shut up, white manju bun.
It seems so quiet, the very picture of peace, doesn't it?
With the bad guys gone,
I'm sure that everyone is living happily and peacefully.
Everyone, listen to me! Last night, they appeared again!
I'd like to double the guard, starting tonight. What do you all think?
What are we supposed to do if we run into them while on guard duty?
They're monsters, so you'd better run away from them, right away.
But, if there's a way that we can beat them,
we can be the ones to strike at them, right?
You bet! If you know you can beat them, then don't hold back!
Put those guys down!
Wait!
Chu'nyan...
How many times do I have to tell you? They are not our enemies!
In fact, when we were fighting the feudal lord and his son--
That was then!This is now!
People are getting hurt every night!
Chu'nyan, you heard what they said. This is the will of the people!
Please, do not interfere with us any longer.
I can't!
Then we have no choice.
Do it.
You guys!
Syaoran?
Chu'nyan...
Yay! Chu'nyan, long time no see!
You guys came back?
Well, so it would appear.
Looks like things have gotten complicated.
What do we do?
We withdraw.
Mokona remembers this place. We all came here before, huh?
--Huh? --We did?
With the feudal lord gone, why is the town so bloodthirsty?
This town is being hit with a second hardship right now.
The first one was the misgovernment of the feudal lord and his son.
And now, this second one...
Syaoran, do you remember Kiishimu?
Of course I do.
She is the one that Kuro-sama laid a smooch on, after all.
I didn't do it, she did it to me!
Wow, Kuro-pon admits it!
Some friends of Kiishimu have started to attack the townspeople.
What?
The people who are attacked have their souls taken out of them.
Sit tight, everyone.
I'll make sure to get back your souls, which have been taken from you.
I've been expecting you. You want to speak with me, right?
Yeah.
Kiishimu is the queen of another world.
The people of her land, and we, the people of Nayutaya,
have never gotten along very well.
Come to think of it, Kiishimu-san did call us worms, huh?
But neither of us ever did anything to hurt the other.
And yet, nowadays, someone gets attacked every night.
So that's what the folks in town were making a fuss about, is it?
Everyone in town has formed a vigilante mob,
and is taking precautions against the people from Kiishimu's land.
Even my friends, who I was going through hijutsu training with,
finally ended up joining the vigilantes.
The practitioners who were wearing the masks earlier, right?
Right. There are people among the vigilantes
that are saying that we should start taking the fight to them.
But... I'm against it.
You believe in Kiishimu-san, don't you?
My mother and Kiishimu were friendly rivals, after all.
It is true, we were put through an awfully terrible ordeal by Kiishimu-san,
but that was because she was being manipulated by the evil lord.
That's right.
Mekyo!!
Mokona senses a feather's wavelength close to here!
Stop!
The humans...
...are not to be harmed.
Mokona, where's the feather's wavelength?
This way!
Mokona, how about now?
It's no use. I felt it strongly a moment ago,
but now, the feather's wavelength has disappeared.
Guys, come over here!
Kiishimu-san!
Oh... Chu'nyan, it's you...
along with the urchins...
You've got to shake it off! What in the world happened to you?
I am going to heal my injuries in this form for a time.
H-Halt!
S-Stay back!
For Mokona to have sensed the feather's wavelength
after Kiishimu-san appeared means...
The feather could be in the land where Kiishimu-san lives.
We can't find out for sure, with her looking the way she is now.
I guess we'll just have to wait until Kiishimu-san
returns to her normal form.
Mokona is getting sleepy.
You've got no place to stay, right? You can use this place for a while.
--Are you sure? --Of course.
Thanks.
That's the roof that you fixed for me earlier.
It always does that when it rains, though.
Oh? Come to think of it, who was it that fixed the roof?
Huh? Oh, it was me.
Kuro-sama is a man with a strong sense of responsibility,
so I'm sure he'll repair it again for you.
Why me?!
You will? That would be a great help.
Sakura, want to sleep together, for old time's sake?
Mm-hmm.
Good morning, Chu'nyan.
What are you doing?
Calling up the light of the morning
using this mirror, which is a hijutsu item.
Come to think of it, Sakura, you were the one who found this memento
of my mother for me, aren't you?
I'm sorry, I don't remember what happened then very well.
No need to apologize. After all, thanks to you being there, Sakura,
I was able to speak to Mother.
Sakura, would you like to try it?
Huh? But...
I'm sure Mother would be delighted. Here.
Sakura sure has changed, huh?
She's a lot livelier than she was before.
What's this?
Sakura is one of God's favored daughters, after all.
I sure have nothing to do. Hello, Kiishimu-san?
Are you still asleep in there?
Can you tell us the whereabouts of Sakura-chan's feather?
Hey.
Yes?
Over here.
Oh, I'm just doing a little cleaning.
Oh, yeah, I understand that this mirror
is capable of strengthening Chu'nyan-chan's hijutsu powers.
When I was up on the roof, I sensed an unusual atmosphere out there.
An unusual atmosphere?
A tingly feeling, like before a great battle starts.
Where are the kids right now?
What would you like for breakfast?
Hmm, what indeed?
Mokona wants omelets and pancakes!
Om-oms? Panks? What kind of food is that?
Don't ask for too much.
Sorry, but would you please leave?
I don't have a single vegetable to sell to anyone who sides with monsters.
Syaoran-kun...
Thanks, you rescued us.
Don't let it get you down.
Nobody really thinks any less of you, after all.
Mm-hmm.
Hey, tell the truth.
Please, okay?
What do you mean?
Mokona is able to sense the feelings of those who are close by.
I can tell when they're sad, or frustrated, and so on.
Arashi, you seem to be very upset.
Your feelings that you have to do something,
and your feelings that you mustn't do anything are bumping together,
and it's making your heart ache.
I'm sorry.
I was asked to keep you all here.
Go back to your home, right now.
What are you trying to pull?
We know that Kiishimu is here! Turn her over to us, quietly!
No, she's not.
Don't play dumb! We have someone who saw her!
Oh, dear, they know.
Syaoran-kun, go on ahead!
Right!
Stand aside!
Huh? I can't hear you.
We have no choice.
Do it!
What?!
Kuro-pon!
That's enough!
Hijutsu is not to be used for hurting other people!
Have you forgotten even that?!
We just came here to get Kiishimu!
If you'll just turn her over quietly, there won't be any violence!
No way!
What's that?
My name is... Kiishimu.
There you are, you monster!
Foolish worms!
Syaoran-kun!
Princess! Don't come over here!
Mekyo!!Mokona can sense it!
The feather is someplace on the other side of that!
Syaoran!
Syaoran-kun!
S-Syaoran-kun!
What is this place?
Could it be that this world is...
Yes, urchins.
This is my home,
the land of Kiishimu.
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!
Syaoran and Kuro-rin are gone!
Where they went is the land of Kiishimu.
The mood is nasty over there.
They're getting worked up, saying, "Let's go to battle with Nayutaya!"
But it looks like behind the scenes is a most wicked puppet master.
Who is the wicked puppet master, you ask?
Just wait until you see!
Tsubasa Chronicles, "The Secret of Hijutsu."
Next time, your heart will pound over the mirror!
