I stared up at the star-filled sky above Genkai's place, very happy that Kazuma had brought me back to the human world for a visit. As I stared up into that sparkling sky, an odd though hit me. I wonder what stars my brother is sleeping under tonight. That though reminded me of a song that played on the radio earlier today. They never said the name of the artist, but I loved the song. No one could tell me it either because it was a 'girl song'. I remembered every word because the song meant a lot to me. I opened my mouth and started to sing that wonderful song.

Maybe I'd be better on my own

No one ever seems to understand me

It's easier for me to be alone

But there's still a piece of me that feels so empty

I agreed. It seamed that everyone around me never seamed to stop and play with the animals or look at the flowers or the sky anymore. And it WAS easier to be alone. I was used to it. Just me and my animals. But I did have an empty spot, my wanting for my brother.

I've been all over the world

I've seen a million different places

But through the crowds and all the faces

I'm still out there looking for you

This was also very true. I had seen a lot of people just today, walking down the street. I don't understand how so many people can live in a place like that. I haven't been to many places, though. And I'm still looking for my older brother...

Where are you now?

I'm trying to get by with

Never knowing at all

What is the chance

Of finding you out there?

Or do I have to wait forever?

This was probably the truest part of the whole song. I was trying to get by without knowing who my brother is, and I know that chances of me finding him are slim. And it does feel like I've been looking forever. But I know deep in my heart that I'll find him.

I write about the things I'll never know

And I can't find a moment just to slow down

It makes me think I'll never have the chance

To figure out

What it's all about

So tell me

What it's all about

Once, I thought about giving up on my search. Very dumb idea. I won't stop searching for him. Ever. But lately I've heard people talk about 'destiny'. What is destiny? What is my destiny? I'm I destined to search forever?

Where are you now?

I'm trying to get by with

Never knowing at all

What is the chance

Of finding you out there

Or do I have to wait forever?

Yeah la da da da da da da da da

Ooooooooohhhh

The chances of me finding my brother with the small amount of clues I have is, as I heard someone put it, 'slim-to-none'. But he also must be looking for me too, right? If we're both looking for each other, will we find each other eventually, right?

Where are you now? I'm trying to get by with

Never ever knowing at all

And I still don't know...

And I still don't know who or where you are. But I will know. One day.

Where are you now?

I'm trying to get by with

Never ever knowing at all

What is the chance of finding you out there?

Or do I have to wait

Or do I have to wait

Or do I have to wait forever?

I let the last line float in the air. I felt like I could have reached out and touched it. As I heard it echo, I hoped it would travel far away, to where my brother was. I hope he heard my song. I hope he's looking for me too.

As I turned to go back to sleep, I hear a sound. It sounded like something moving very fast. I quickly turned to the window, and I saw that one of the branches on the tree that was outside was moving up and down. It wasn't the wind, for there was none. "Brother?"
