Mokona: Seishirou!

3
Seishirou: It's been a while. / ...or then again, perhaps not. // I don't actually know how long it has been for you, since the flow of time differs between worlds.
Mokona: He's talking just like you did, Fuuma... / Is that because you're brothers?
Fuuma: Mmmm... / That's kinda complicated! // But then, you always are, aren't you... / Seishirou-nii-san.
Seishirou: Same goes for you. // But as for you... I don't know that I can say you're the same as always.

4
Seishirou: You seem to have changed quite a bit. // In various ways. // Your magical power is gone, but you seem to have acquired a different kind of power in its place...

5
Seishirou: The blood of a vampire.
Mokona: Fai!

6
Seishirou: That's Kamui's blood, isn't it.
Fai: And if it is?
Seishirou: The two of them... where are they?

7
[no text, just Fai love]

8
Tomoyo: So this is your brother?
Fuuma: Yeah. / He can be a bit of a nuisance.
Tomoyo: My sister is the same way...
Amaterasu: And what do you mean by that...?
Kurogane: You think that's the way to act when you're asking a guy a question? // [aside]And you guys can shut up...[/aside]
Attendant-person: [aside]Oh, my![/aside]
Tomoyo: [aside]hee hee...[/aside]

10 [Page number in the raw; should be 9]
Fai: Why don't you tell him? [aside]Hehehe...[/aside]
Kurogane: Shaddup!
Mokona: Uh-huh.
Tomoyo/Amaterasu: Oh, absolutely.
[sFX: blush]
Tomoyo-tachi: ......
Kurogane: I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU GUYS TO SHADDUP TOO!!
Seishirou: My apologies. / Let me try that again. // You would appear to have met with... // ...the vampire twins.

9 [Page number in the raw; should be 10]
Fai: It happened in another world... // ...a place called "Tokyo"...

11
Seishirou: Are the two of them still in "Tokyo"?
Fuuma: No, they've moved on. / Once these guys had left.
Seishirou: Moved where?
Fuuma: Now, do you really think they would tell that to your own brother?
Seishirou: They say that hunters are naturally drawn to prey...

12
Seishirou: But it seems that the ones I truly wish to find continue to elude me.

13
Seishirou: I suppose I shall simply move on to the next world...
Syaoran: WAIT!

14
Seishirou: ...Your name is "Syaoran" as well, yes?
Syaoran: Where is the feather?
Seishirou: I have it. // Right here.
Syaoran: Give it back.
Seishirou: Back in Outo Country... no, in the end, it turned out to be Edonis Country... / I obtained the feather and left in something of a hurry...

15
Seishirou: ...But this feather contains enough power to turn an entire fictional world into a reality. / Do you think this is really something I can hand over simply because you tell me to?
Syaoran: ...Give it back.

16
Seishirou: I suppose there's no way we can just talk this over?
Syaoran: I've seen far too much evidence already... // ...of just what kind of a person you are.
Seishirou: Through your link with your other self... yes.

17
Seishirou: ...You're so very like that father of yours in that respect. // Though that may be precisely because you truly are your father's son.
Mokona: Is he talking about Syaoran's father who always took him travelling?

18
Fai: ...No. / After all, Fujitaka-san and Syaoran aren't actually related by blood...

19
Kurogane: ......
Seishirou: ...Well, then... // Let us begin.

20-21
Seishirou: We battle for possession of the feather.
