The couple walked past several shops, each as uninteresting as the last, when one in particular caught the ninja's eye. Leading the way he walked into the small shop, pulling Fai along, his other hand clutching to Fai's bag. Inside lay numerous objects. The large array of weapons seen from the window had caught Kurogane's eye. He let go of Fai's hand as he lifted a katana up to inspect.
Fai in turn had wandered of looking at the odd vases and frilly clothes that were strewn about. Looking he saw an old jewelry box, it was quiet beautiful, intricate designs of flowers and birds were carved into it's lid as the bottom was covered in numerous flowers. Picking it up, he began to open it when a hand slammed it down. Fai yelped in surprise at the woman in front of him.
"May I help you?" said the elaboratly dressed shopkeeper.
"I was wanting to take a closer look at this jewelry box, it's very beautiful." Stated the blonde.
"The box isn't what's imporatant, it's what's inside."
"Oh?" Now Fai was really curious. The shop owner then lifted the lid to reveal a small pile of cosmetic jewelry. Though what caught the mage's eye was a ring sitting neatly in the center of the tangled mess of necklaces and bracelets. Nimble fingers picked up the ring, for a closer inspection.
It was a silver band, outlined in what looked to be some type of blue stone. In the center small waves and swirlls were ingraved barely visible in the dimly lit shop.
" There is another ring, the two came in a set I came into possession of long ago."
"May I see it?" Questioned Fai as he continued to look at the ring. Without answering the mysterious woman left, coming back with small black box. Opening it revealed the second ring; another silver ring but this time it was outlined by a garnet stone, engraved inside seemed to the same design as the first, but this lines where carved deeper into the ring, making it more macsculine.
"Both are very beautiful, shopkeeper-san, how much are they?"
"I can not sell them to you, these rings are special, forged from the fragments of sacred stones."
"Sacred stones?" Fai was now confused by the woman's words.
"Yes, it is said long ago, back when this world still had it's magic, that two gods loved eachother. The god of the land and sun, the phoenix; and the god of water and moon, the dragon. Together they created our world and watched over its inhabitants. Peace reigned for thousands of years until a great power fell from the sky."
"What was it?" Asked the ever curious mage, who was suspicious that this story may be a sign of a feather's presense.
"That has long been forgotten, but when it wandered into the world the two gods knew that it would cause nothing but strife. What they did not know was that another creature had already captured the object, the monster that lurked in the shadows, the spider, had taken the power. With it she could jouney outside of her dark home and prey upon mankind. This began a war that waged for many years, the phoenix and dragon fought against the spider and her hordes of children and allies."
Like a small child, Fai was enraptured by the woman's tale. "What happened next?"
"One battle shifted the tide of the war, the dragon caught off guard was wounded by the spider, her posion seeped into the water god's body. With that the pheonix and dragon returned to their home and made a great sacrifice. Using what was left of their power they made one final charge at the spider and her armies. What happened next is not clear, but the two gods' had defeated the spider and the darkness that had shrouded the world disappeared; the dragon god then succumbed to the spiders' posion dying shortly after. Shedding tears the pheonix died of grief beside its' fallen love. Their powers were then transformed into two stones, shards of the same stones that were used to make those rings." She stood looking at the man's reaction.
"Such a sad story, they both died in the end, even after they saved their world from darkness, but how was it that you come to possess these stones, what about the power that fell from the sky?"
"That is a story for another time."
Fai was deep in thought, replaying the womans' tale in his mind. He hadn't even noticed Kurogane coming up behind him.
"Oi, what's wrong with you?"
"Kuro-san, its you! Shop-keeper-san was telling me about these rings, aren't they pretty." Asked the blonde as he held the two rings up for the other to see. The woman was watching the two, comtemplating. "I never got your name."
"Sorry about that, I'm Fai, and this brute here is-"
"It's Kurogane."
"My name is Madoka, my younger sister and I run this shop."
"Kuro-tan, you missed such a wonderful story, though it had a rather sad ending."
"Fai-san, I would like to give you these rings." Madoka then presented the two silver rings to the mage.
"B-but I couldn't possibly take them, they must be priceless."
"There are indeed priceless, the only ones of their kind, but something tells me that the two of you are the ones these rings have been waiting for."
Both men looked at the woman as if she had grown an extra head. She gazed at them smiling faintly. "These rings are meant for lovers' that have gone through great trials and even greater joys. I sense both these things from you two, or am I mistaken?" She grinned at the blushing couple. She then reached over and opened the blondes' hand placing the rings onto his cupped hand.
"May they protect the both of you." With that Madoka motioned for the two men to leave. Once outside Fa looked at Kurogane, an uneasy smile on his face.
"Well, looks like we have wedding rings now." Fai said as he gave the red stone ring to his lover.
"I don't think I even want to now..." Kurogane stood placing the ring on his left hand, he then grasped Fai's, sliding the blue ring on a slinder finger.
"Let's head back, the princess said she'd have dinner ready for us, and besides Ihave to go put up our things before the kids find them. I don't want to scar them or anything." Fai slipped his hand into Kurogane's as he was led back to their home.
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day, the Fai had told the others about Madoka 's story. Feeling as they had a lead, syaoran set out to the cities' library to check up on the story. Sakura had taken Mokona out in hopes the manjuu woulld detect a feather.
Fai was busy folding laundry in the living room floor. humming while Ryu tried to mimic her mother. Kurogane was outside training as he normally would but this time he had Yuki, who was watching his father's with interest.
Yuki, red eyes trained on Kurogane, suddenly laughed as the ninja went through his sword motions.
"Da-ee!"
Kurogane, in the middle of a swing, stopped short; resulting in the man falling forward. As he looked up at the little blonde, eyes wide he stared in shock at what he heard.
"W-what did you say?" Kurogane was lifting himself up as he asked.
"Da-ee!" The toddler then started waving his arms in front of his father.
"Fai!! Get out here, now!" shouted Kurogane, still not believing what he was hearing.
The mage ran out, frantically looking around to see what was wrong. His eyes landed on his lover who was crouched in front of their son.
"Kuro-go, what's wrong?"
"Come here and listen to this." The ninja looked back down at Yuki, who was still smiling brightly. "Come on Yuki, say that again for me and mommy."
"Da-ee, Da-ee!" shouted the sixth month old.
"Kuro-tan... did Yuki just say..."
"Heh, yes he did."
"Hyuu!! My little puppy just said his first word, I'm so proud!" The mage scooped up his son and began cuddling the youngster. Kurogane was nw standing beside the two blonde's, pride swelled in the ninja's chest. Smiles plastered both happy arents faces.
"Let's celebrate as soon as everyone else comes home!" Fai declared as he made his way back home. Laying Yuki down Fai made his way back to the laundry, Kurogane sat dwn betwwen his children playing with the two, who giggled.

Night came and Fai had made an elaborate dinner in celebration of Yuki's first word. Sakura and syaoran arrived with Mokona in tow with no luck in finding the feathers whereabouts. In the middle of dinner, as the family were chatting away, Mokona jumped on the middle of the large table.
"Everyone, Mokona heard Ryu-chan speak!" With that everyone turned to look at the blue eyed girl. Ryu, who was covered in food, looked at her family.
"Ma-ma! Ma-ma!" Cried Ryu, not wanting to be out done.
"Yay! My babies are so smart, Daddy and Mommy are good parents!" Fai was immediately beside his daughter hugging her tightly, despite the food stains that now covered him. Kurogane gave a proud grin patting the top of his daughter's head.
"Yuki-chan and Ryu-chan are so smart!" Sakura said, smiling brightly. syaoran and Mokona cheered in the background.
The family congratulated the two infants, in awe of what they had bared witness to. That night everyone went to sleep with smile on their faces and fond memories that would last a lifetime.

With further research and a bit of snooping, the group had discovered that Madoka 's story was well known, but only as a childrens' story. Thinking back of their adventure in Jade Country and the tale of the princess, it seemed that there was at least some truth to the tale.
Fai, pulling Kuro-myu along, returned to Madoka's shop wishins to ask the pale woman some more questions.
"Ah, I see the two of you are wearing the rings." At this both men blushed slightly.
"Yes, we're wearing them as our wedding rings, though we're not married yet." Fai grinned, Kurogane huffed.
"Congratuations on your engagement." The shop owner smiled wider at Kurogane's blush.
"Madoka -san, I was wanting to ask you some more questions about the story behind the rings you gave me." asked Fai cutting to the main goal of his visit.
"What is it you would like to ask me?"
"My friends and I are searching for something, and the story you told me sounds like it may lead to what we're looking for."
"You mean the power that fell from the sky?"
"Yes, do you know anything else about it. We've not been able to find anything else on the story." Fai was determined to find out if there was a feather in this world.
"I thought as much." The mage looked at the woman in front of him, curious of her words. The woman moved to behind the shop counter and pulled something from underneath it. She held in her hands a brown, wrinkled piece of parchment. Untying the string, she unfurled the old paper onto the surface in front of her. A young girl emerged from a nearby doorway, the two could tell, by her dark hair and eyes, this was Madoka's younger sister.
"Hello, I'm Arisu, what's your name?" The girl smiled and Fai introduced himself instantly taking to the younger girl.
"This parchment is the only one of its' kind. You will need this on your journey here, but first,
what is it you wanted to know." The woman looked up, something told Kurogane that she knew exactly why they were here, just like that witch.
"A journey, what do you mean Madoka-san?" asked Fai.
"This map will take you to a mountain a few days journey away, at the top of the mountain is a crater. There is were you will find your answers." Madoka turned looking at her frail sister.
"Arisu, go in the back room and bring me the sky necklace." Arisu left, she came back with a heavy gold necklace that held a large stone in the center.
"Fai-san, Kurogane-san, this is my price to the Time Witch, I know that you are in contact with her and was hoping you could send this to her with my regards." Madoka then took the necklace from her sister's hands and passed it onto Fai.
"Of course, Madoka -san.'
"How do you know about the witch?" Kurogane couldn't really be surprised, it seemed that Yuuko was everywhere, regardless of were the group went.
"She is an old friend of mine, now on more pressing matters, the two of you must hurry, a storm may be gathering."
"You're right, Fai, let's go. The quicker we go and search this mountain the quicker we can leave." Kurogane grumbled.
"Good luck on you're journey!" Cheered Arisu, waving wildly at the leaving couple. Fai waved back at the girl. Both left the shop, Arsiu watching as they left, map in hand. A knowing smile that was far too similar to Yuuko's crept onto the woman's face.
