Disclaimer: Tsubasa Chronicle and it's characters belong to CLAMP and only CLAMP, the only character I own in this story is Miyu-chan

Please note that Yuui is the twin that survived, so I therefore listed that Fai was in this story

Enough said! story time! ^^

A snow flake fell onto my arm as I walked into the deserted courtyard which was covered in a blanket of snow, I had never been to this part of the city, despite it's closeness to my home. I was raised a girl of noble rank, my family's estate was right next to the palace of the Valerian royal family; my hair was long back then, it almost reached my ankles... my eyes are still ice-blue though, perhaps one of the few things that hasn't changed. I was very young then, barely four years old, maybe that's why I had never been to this courtyard.

I looked up to see the royal palace, a side of it that i had never seen before, this side seemed less royal than all the other angles of the palace i had seen, like it hadn't been repaired in decades, some of the stones in the wall were loose an d if I looked in the window it seemed that the inside of the palace was dusty. Even the courtyard benches seemed old and broken down, like no one had been there in years, I looked up once more, this time I could see some one at the window, a blond-haired boy who couldn't be older than me. The look in his eyes was sad, like he was all alone in this world, those sapphire blue eyes made me want to talk to him, find out why he was so sad and if I could, help him to find happiness. Then something unexpected happened, he smiled at me; it was a sad smile, but a smile none the less I wanted to climb the palace wall and embrace him right then, and I almost did.

"Miyuki!" from somewhere in my mind i heard my mother calling me, her voice sounded like I had done something wrong or gone somewhere I wasn't supposed to go I look back up at the window to see if the boy was still there, but he was nowhere to be seen. Since I didn't want to be in any more trouble than I already might be in, I hastened to my mother's side. "Don't go there again Miyu-chan," she scolded, but as she had used my nick-name I figured it was alright now.

But the look in the boy's eye's haunted my mind, I wondered if he was a servant or royalty and why he looked so sad; I was distracted the rest of the day, my mother even asked if I wasn't feeling well, so I guess she must have been worried. After that day I knew one thing, I had to find out why that boy was so sad.

I couldn't sleep that night, the boy's face lingered in my mind, part of me wished I had never seen him and part of me wanted to hold him close. If not anything else I knew I had to return to the courtyard, I left as soon as I was sure my family was asleep. A cold breeze tickled my skin as I found my way back to the courtyard; I still don't know how I got there, it was like something deeply engraved in my heart was leading me there. When I reached the courtyard I looked up at the window, but my heart sank as I saw that no one was there. Suddenly I felt someone's hand on my shoulder, I turned around quickly and to my astonishment there he was.

"I knew you'd come back," he murmured, his voice barely a whisper, the all of a sudden he grasped my hand and began to run. I could barely keep up with his pace, but I tried as hard as I could to keep up with him, just when it seemed I couldn't run any more he came to an sudden stop. "Have you heard of the unhappy twins?" he asked as soon as I had caught my breath, his voice was a bit louder now, as if he was safer here. I nodded, remembering everything my mother had told me about the twin princes doomed to despair. "Well I'm one of them," I said with a sad smile, at that moment it was all I could do to keep from dissolving into tears, it must of shown on my face, cause he looked like he wanted to apologize even though he hadn't done anything wrong. "It's Miyuki, right?" he paused, "Actually this is the second time I've been out of the castle."

"R-Really?" I couldn't help but stutter, I still felt like crying; at that moment he looked so sad, and for a reason unknown to me then, his eyes seemed to break my heart.

"Do you hate me for being the cause of the recent misfortunes of Valeria?" he asked with the same smile and the same sad look in those sapphire blue eyes that I had seen that day.

"Of course not!" I wailed, "You aren't the cause of misfortune, your a normal boy!" his eyes grew wide at my sudden out burst, then he smiled what seemed to be a genuine smile.

"My name is Yuui," he told me, "I'll probably never see you again, but I'm glad I met you, Miyuki." And with those last words he vanished as suddenly as he had appeared. I somehow found my way back home, that night I slept soundly, I felt relived that I might have seen Yuui smile from his heart despite his sad fate.

That's the end of chapter 1! if any angelic person bothers to review this Miyu-chan and I will love you forever ^^
