As powerful dreamseers, they met in dreams and together saw a future where Fai was not the one who killed Ashura-ou, it was Kurogane, thus the second curse was activated and consequently Kurogane sacrificed an arm to save Fai. Both had hoped this worst case scenario would not happen, but made precautionary plans in case it did. Thus, Tomoyo-hime placed a protection charm on Kurogane, in the guise of a curse where for each person Kurogane kills he loses some of his strength, to ensure fatal wounds would not kill him. However, just as they had envisioned, all of these chain of events happened. When one of Ashura-ou's sharp icicle struck Kurogane, causing him to collapse on near death, Tomoyo-hime's charm was activated and spared his life. This gives him an opportunity to kill Ashura-ou, and when the dying king assured Fai his companions would find a way to save him from his other curse, he knew so because of the visions. Likewise, in Nihon, Tomoyo-hime explained the truth of the charm, and her warning that Kurogane would lose strength from killing a person back in the beginning had in fact came true when he killed the king and lost an arm. She also told Fai about her meeting with Ashura-ou, and how the king did everything he could to ensure Fai would be spared the second curse. Tragically, Ashura-ou lost control of his sanity as his magic grew stronger. Though one thing clear is that both dreamseers cared deeply for Fai and Kurogane's happiness.

Fai has two curses on him that were both set by Fei Wong Reed. The first was that whenever he found someone with more power than him, he would kill them. The second was that once he killed Ashura-Ou, he would collapse the world around him.
The intent of the first was to kill Syaoran once he became too powerful to control. However, Clone!Sakura saw this happening so she changed the future by taking the hit herself. The second was to kill off the remaining members, as by that point Sakura would only need one member to bring her back to Fei Wong Reed. This was foiled by Kurogane, who dragged Fai out.

Major spoilers ahead so be warned!

Major things to keep in mind when reading the manga:
1) Worlds do not exist in the same time, nor do they run parallel to one another
2) There is one unbreakable law in the Tsubasa!verse: That death is irreversible.
3) Time can be cyclical

There are also three StableTimeLoops happening throughout the story
1) Clone!Sakura and Clone!Syaoran's life
2) Acid Tokyo / Clow Country
3) The Real Clow Country

The major event before the start of Tsubasa is the death of Yuuko, the Dimension Witch and Clow Reed's lover. Clow Reed wished, just for a moment, for Yuuko to open her eyes. This went against the One Unbreakable Law and Yuuko was essentially "frozen" in place in her own world, as she would immediately die should she step out of it.

Fai Wong Reed, Clow Reed's brother, saw this event and grew jealous of his brother's power (and possibly unrequited love). He sought to outdo his brother by overcoming the One Unbreakable Law. To do so, Clow Reed set a plan in motion:
1) He captured a girl named Sakura who lived in Clow Country. Sakura had the strange ability to "remember" all worlds she visited, and these memories were etched onto her body.
2) He cloned her so that should his plan fail the first time, he could simply reset and try again (because time is cyclical in this case)
3) He specifically chose guardians to make sure Sakura could make her journey through worlds and fulfill certain important Destinies. He chose a clone of Syaoran to serve as a mindless puppet whose only drive was to protect Sakura. He chose Fai (nee Yuui) to protect her by manipulating his twin brother's death and he attempted to get Kurogane via the death of Kurogane's parents. However, Tomoyo was able to step in and heal Kurogane, hence why Fai Wong Reed declares him "the witch's pawn."
