Title: Just a Dare

Rating: heavy T, might turn to an M later on

Warning: yaoi,violence,rape,angst...no likey, no ready

Summary: Who knew that a few drinks and a bet with his twin could turn Yuui Flourite into a drop dead gorgeous woman? Definitely not Yuui. Or Kurogane, Yuui's fellow staff mate and long time object of interest. Now Yuui has to find a way to break it to Kurogane...the question is how.

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I do not own Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, the Valerian twins or any other creation of CLAMP.

A/N: This is an AU that I came up with last night. A few things that would be good to know before the beginning of the story:

1) Yuui is the Fye from the beginning of TRC...I'm using his real name here.

2) Yuui's twin, Fay, will be known as Fye, which will be pronounced the same. Why?

3)...because there will be a character named Fay which will be pronounced like Fei as in Fei Wang Reed.

I hope that this is all clear. So, without further ado...

Chapter 0: Together

This wasn't fair!

At all!

A somewhat angry, mostly scared, Yuui turned around in bed and punched his pillow in the process. It was always him. He was always the problem. And when he tried to fix things, he never managed.

And now that is going to have to change!

He wasn't going to tell Fye about his nightmare. He wasn't going to get up and wake him up just to tell him that he had had a nightmare. What would Fye say? For crying out loud, he was ten. He should have already gotten past the faze of being scared of dreams. They weren't real. Ten year old boys did not get scared that easily. Ten year old boys did not run to their twin brother's bed and ask them to sleep together.

But then again...ten year old boys didn't come home to dead parents and blood-stained walls.

BOOM!

And this storm really wasn't helping!

Every time a bolt of lighting flashed, he would swear that the tree branches were arms stretching out to get him. Every time a roll of thunder came crashing down from the sky, he would swear that that was the same sound his parents heard just before their bodies hit the floor with a soft thud. Closing his eyes meant that he would see unspeakable horrors. His imagination would get to him and he'd see sinister eyes he'd never seen before. He tried to bite back a whimper-

-and failed.

Horribly.

"Yuui?" someone whispered. Yuui turned around and came face to face with his twin brother, Fye. "You okay?" Yuui slowly nodded. Fye, who didn't seem convinced, motioned for Yuui to move over a bit. Upon doing so, Yuui was surprised to find that Fye was the one that joined him. They lay there in silence for a while before Fye broke the silence again.

"Do you need anything?"

Yuui shook his head. Fye gave an exasperated sigh and turned to face Yuui.

"You don't have to lie to me."

Silence.

"Did you have a nightmare?"

Silence.

Then...a reluctant nod.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

Shake.

"Are you scared?"

Shake.

Nod. Nod. Nod. Whimper.

Yuui turned to face Fye, their faces inches apart. Yuui's eyes were wide and tears were starting to form in the corners.

"Why? Why otou-san and okaa-san?" he whispered. Fye pulled his brother to his chest and rubbed his back. He felt Yuui burry his head further into his chest. When Yuui's shoulders started to shake, Fye tightened the grip he had on Yuui. It would have been painful, had it been anyone else, but for Yuui it was just what he needed. But still, he couldn't stop crying so Fye started murmuring a song familiar to both of them.

Sagashite bakari no bokutachi wa

kagami no you ni yoku niteru kara

Mukiau dake de tsunagaru no ni

Fureau koto wa dekinai mama

Me wo korashita

Te wo nobashita

"Fye."

"Mm?"

"You know that you're a bad singer?" Yuui suggested. Fye chuckled and pulled away from him.

"No more crying?" Fye asked while brushing away Yuui's remaining tears. Yuui nodded, this time firmly. "Yuui, there's no need to hide anything from me. You do trust me?"

"Of course. It's just...what's going to happen to us now?"

"Nothing. I'll take care of you." Fye reassured the other.

"And who's going to take care of you?"

"I can take care of myself."

Yuui frowned.

"But then that's not fair. That would mean you have to take care of two people." Yuui said, raising his index and middle finger to prove his point.

"It won't be a problem." Yuui didn't seem content with the answer and his brow was furrowed as he tried to think of a plan. His face suddenly lit up. This seemed to scare Fye a bit. "What's on your mind?"

"I'll take care of you! Then I can repay you for watching out for me." Fye looked surprised at first. Sure, they were twins but Fye was older than Yuui by a bit more than five minutes. It wasn't much of an age difference, more like a minute difference, but Fye always saw Yuui as his younger brother.

"What do you say? Promise?" Yuui asked, holding out his pinky finger. It took a while for Fye to snap out of his reverie, and when he did, he raised his pinky and linked it with Yuui's.

"Promise. Until you grow older and find someone who's going to love you as much as you will love them."

"But I won't leave you."

Fye's laughter drowned out the roll of thunder.

"You won't be living with me forever." Yuui looked at him, genuinely shocked.

"Why not?"

"I just explained that."

"We'll see about that." Yuui mumbled as he wrapped his arms around Fye's waist. And with that, he fell asleep. Fye, on the other hand, stayed awake a while longer. Finally, with a sigh, he closed his eyes.

"Yeah, we'll see." he murmured into Yuui's hair.

A/N: And that's a wrap! By the way, this is the prologue...that's why it's so short. I'll try to update as fast as I can, but I can't promise anything. Well actually, I can promise weekly updates. Oh, and reviews are love...they motivate me!

Another A/N: Cookies go to the first five people who can guess where the Japanese lyrics are from.
