so Different, yet so Similar...MXTX Crossover

Prologue: Part Two

There wasn't really anything different from the usual in Cloud Recesses. Except for the fact that some of the Juniors have gone missing since the evening before. They were just going on a quick night hunt, at most being out until midnight. However, currently it is the morning after and they still haven't been seen since they left. This wouldn't have been especially worrying to Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji, but the juniors that went out were in fact their adopted son, Ouyang Zizhen and the one and only Lan Jingyi.

"Why are they always attracting trouble?!" The demonic cultivator was seriously puzzling this, Lan Wangji nodding and 'hm' ing every now and then to his husband's ranting. 

Knock Knock

The speed that they both shot up and ran towards the door should be considered a new world record. When they opened the door, practically slamming it open, they almost hit the captain of Wangxian.

"Ah, Zewu Jun, sorry!" he gives a curt, but rushed bow. "Um... has there been any new information about Zizhen or Jingyi? A-Yuan?" Wei Wuxian asked, his tone becoming a little desperate at the end. I lost A-Yuan once, I don't want to lose him again...

"You don't have to apologize, but I do have some good news...and some bad news." He replied, a nervous frown on his usual cheery face. "The bad news... I received word from Lotus pier. Young Jin Ling has gone missing as well. However, he was sighted with the other three when he left, so they most likely are together."

"Ugh, should've known! Those four are inseparable..." Wei Wuxian felt like curling up and crying. Lan Wangji must have sensed this because he wrapped an arm around his shoulders in a kind of half hug.

"Wei Ying, we will find them. Whatever it takes..." He looks back towards his brother with a serious face.

"Ah, of course Wangji, the good news. We might have an idea where they are." There was a short silence, until it broke with a sudden cry of frustration.

"Couldn't you start with that?!" This brother in law of mine sometimes makes me want to pull my hair out...

"...But the suspense is necessary for this story..."

"Huh?"

"Nothing. If you would follow me, I will lead you to the...reason they have disappeared."

"Ok..."

They walk for about twenty minutes or so in a dense forest right outside Cloud Recesses, until Lan Xichen stops in front of a black rift.

"This is the thing I was talking about. We found some torn clothing from both Lan Sect and Jin Sect and also a piece of torn red cloth. Do you think it is..."

"A demonic traveling rift? Yeah, it does look a lot like one...actually a spitting image of one from a powerful cultivator of the demonic arts." He was relieved that he would soon find the children, but this made a new fear pop up. What if they were captured by someone, or something, they can't handle? No, by this level of ability, they definitely won't be able to fend for themselves. A new frown appeared on his face. Even the younger of the twin jades face was way paler than it was previously.

"I've made up my mind. I...I am going into the rift to look for the children!" He made this declaration, but was also a little fearful himself. I mean I am not as strong as I was in my old body, but I can't just leave them!

He also feared Lan Wangji would stop him, but he instead nodded his head at his older brother, "I will also be going to look."

"I knew this would happen...be careful you two. I mean it, all of you come back in one piece. Jiang Cheng should be on his way and we will head in two if you take a while..." When he brought up the others' names, a slight blush appeared on his pale face. Ah, I see... Wei Wuxian gave Lan Wangji a knowing smile, but he got furrowed eyebrows in return.

"Don't worry, we will return safely," Wei Wuxian finally reassured Lan Xichen, then they took a step, then another into the black rift, unsure of their future.

A/N: This chapter was interesting to write...I also love the idea of Lan Xichen breaking the fourth wall periodically ;p I hope you enjoyed and again, Feedback is welcomed!
