A KuroFaiYuui story
The Brothers Flowright
It was in the early afternoon when the rain had started. It had come suddenly, the dark billowy clouds pouring down rain on the village and countryside below. Two figures sat on horseback on top of a hill, looking at the village below, from the road. Behind the village was a dense forest, and there in lie the reason the two were there.
The shorter of the two sighed and turned towards his companion. "Are you sure this is the place, Yuui?" He asked in his light British accent. Glancing back at the run down village He said: "It seems pretty shabby for something Ashura to be interested in...." He shifted lightly on his horse's saddle, trying to find a more comfortable position. They had been riding for two days, stopping only to eat and sleep.
Yuui reached under the folds of his cloak, the only thing that was stopping him from getting completely soaked, and pulled out a map. He leaned his body over it, making sure not to get the parchment wet. He studied the map closely, through one eye; the left covered in a thick black patch. He folded the map up again and turned to his younger brother. "Yes, according to the map, this is it! I guess ever since the kidnappings started, that the people have vacated....."
"Yeah, that makes sense.... Let's go, we should be able to find shelter in one of those buildings." Fai said, urging his horse on with a gentle kick to its side. The horses' hooves clabbered on the stone road, even in the heavy rain.
The village was like most in this country, with large stone walls surrounding it on all sides, bricks unevenly in placed, with an iron gate blocking the entrance. Vines grew thickly in places on the wall, but there was none on the gateway.
Fai pulled his horses reins till the animal stopped and jumped onto the ground. He approached the gate, and his brother got off of his horse too. Fai peered in through the iron bars, looking to see if there was anyone else left in the village. Yuui stood beside him, and took off his hood, now that he was no longer under the assault of the rain.
He had long blond hair, which was tied back in a low ponytail. His remaining eye was a startling cobalt colour, and his patch covered the majority of the left side of his face, and the way his flaxen bangs fell into his face, made the patch very flattering on his delicate features.
Yuui shook his head, and some of the drops of water that had managed to get under his hood flew off.
Fai turned to him, "There are chains around the middle." He said, pointing to the chains, which were held together by a padlock. "Maybe we should find another way in?"
Yuui shock his head. "We don't need to." He turned towards the gate again and called out. "It's alright, kind Sir. We are not here to harm you, we wish to help."
Silence hung in the air, before a man wrapped in a cloak stepped out from behind the wall. He held a gun in his hands, pointing it at Fai. "Who are you?" The man spat, in an unidentifiable accent that only just covered up the fear and surprise in his voice. "And what do you want with us?"
Fai smiled, and reached up slowly, so as to not spook the man into firing, and lowered his hood. He had the same exact features as his brother, but he did not have a patch, and his eyes were cerulean instead of cobalt coloured. His hair was blond as well, but not as long, and didn't even reaching his shoulder yet. His resemblance to Yuui was to be expected, as they were twins.
"We are the Flowright brothers, I am Fai, and he is Yuui. We have heard that some of your towns' children have been kidnapped. We are here to help you find them."
"We've already been 'helped' by the Grimm Brothers! And what a job they did! The bastards conned us, and even more of our children went missing. We don't need help!" The man snapped out bitterly.
"Sir, I assure you we do not want your money." Yuui said, "All we ask for is shelter from the rain and some food. And if we don't find your children in three days, we shall leave. Without taking so much as a penny from your people."
The man hesitated, he had to think of the good of his people and their children, but he felt like he could trust what these men were saying. It was something in their smiles, although the one with the patch's looked a little less sincere than that of the younger ones …. He made his decision with a quick nod of his head, and motioned at one of men standing behind the wall. "Let them in!"
The other man looked surprised, but quickly ran over to the lock. He jiggles with the keys, before he managed to find the right one and unhooked the chains from around the gate.
"Thank you very much for your hospitality," Fai said. He took a short bow, before he walked over to his and Yuui's mounts, and seized their reins. He led them through the gate to where Yuui was talking with the man who had spoken to them through the gateway.
"Fai, this man is Sorata and we shall be staying with him for the next couple of nights." Yuui explained.
Fai smiled kindly, ignoring Soel, which was his horse, as she nuzzled his back, wanting to get out of the rain.
Soel was a beautiful white mare with a light grey tail and mane. Yuuis' horse was Larg, who as a black stallion with a matching mane and tail.
"Would you kindly gather up all of the villagers, either in the square or in the church? We need to gather up some information before we start our search, and it's easier to get things of the sort with everyone in one place." Fai asked, enthralled by the small village.
He had always loved places like this, even when it was raining and the ground was nothing but mud, with bits of stone underneath. There was just something so enchanting by it, and it was even harder to explain. He thinks that it might be the connection these people have with each other. They had all grown up together, knew everyone in the community, and it was always harder to hide secrets from them.
Except that the Flowright brothers were experts at lying and hiding secrets. That's why the larger towns were easier for them to be in than the smaller ones.
Sorata nodded, and turned towards a serious looking teen ager "Syaoran, take their horses to the stables, and have them well taken care of." Syaoran nodded, and grabbed the reins that Fai handed over to him. He walked off with them, and Sorata turned towards them. "I'll show you to where you will stay. Well hold the meeting after we dine."
Soratas' house was nothing special, though it was a spot bit bigger than of those around it. He seemed to be a pretty significant person, if not even the mayor himself. His house was made out of stone, just like the ones in the wall that protected the town, but the other houses were made out of this substance too.
The brothers were sitting in one of the spare rooms in Soratas residence. It was in fact the attic that just so happened to have two spare beds in it. Fai was sitting down on one of the beds, taking in the room with a small smile.
Yuui was looking out the window, getting a good look at the forest over the top of the other houses. There didn't seem to be any type of aura coming from the woods, but there definably was something in there, but Yuui couldn't tell what it was. It was something unfamiliar, that they hadn't come across before, in fact there was two things.
The brothers were special. Yuui could fell the presences of animals, humans, and even the existence of the supernatural. While Fai could tell if someone meant them any harm, or other kinds of misfortune. Fai's ability was natural, whereas Yuuis ability was inherited.
"Hey, Yuui, do you need to feed before we go back down stairs? You're looking a bit pale… well more than normal anyway…." Fai asked, not even looking at him brother, but at the patterns that adorned the quilt. He didn't feel comfortable talking about feeding, though a little less than Yuui did.
Yuui hated even the mere thought of it…which is why he always let out a small sigh, whenever Fai mentioned it. It always made him feel like he was stealing something from his brother. But he guessed that it would be best to start feeding more regularly, especially in this town.
"Okay, but only a little…." Yuui mumbled.
Fai smiled at him, even though it made him uncomfortable, he was happy that his brother was coming to terms with what he was. Yuui walked over to him, sitting down beside him on the bed. Fai looked up at him still smiling. Yuuis cerulean eye had change to a golden yellow, the pupil turning into thin slits.
Yuui gently grabbed Fai chin, and tilted his head slightly to the side. His breath came in short puffs, as he panted. The smell was already driving him insane, and he knew that he had gone too long without feeding that he couldn't pull away now that he had gotten a hold of the scent of Fai's blood. His canine teeth lengthened into fangs, and he bit into his brothers' neck. Fai gasped, his small cry coated with pain and slight pleasure. Blood shot down his throat instantly causing Yuui to moan and wrap his arms around Fai, in an almost possessive manner.
It hadn't been his choice on becoming a vampire, it had been Fais. Yuui had been on the brink of dying. It was when he had lost his eye and he would have surely died if Subaru and Kamui hadn't have found them. They had been the ones to change him, and make it to where he could only drink from Fai. Yuui had never once in his life wanted to die, and living as half a human was better than not living at all. He wasn't sure what Fai would do without him….
He pulled away, after a few seconds. He wasn't full but it would hold him over for a day or two, at least enough for them to be out of the village. Fai took a deep breath to steady himself, as Yuui licked the wound on his neck, which healed instantly.
Yuui pulled away and looked at Fai, concerned. "Are you okay?" He asked, quickly wiping the blood from around his mouth
with a quick swip of his hand. His eyes changed back to their original color, and the pupil was no longer slited.
Fai gave a quick nod, and smiled, leaning up and giving Yuui a light peck on the lips. "Yeah I'm okay. I just-" The rest of his sentence was interupted by a loud knock at the door.
Both brothers head turned towards it, and they answered in unison. "Come in,"
The knob twisted and Sorata entered the room. "I hope I'm not interputing anything." He said hesitantly, as Yuuis arms were still wrapped tightly around Fais waist, who was practically sitting in his lap.
They broke apart quickly, Yuui turning towards the window, and Fai smiled at Sorata. A light blush dusted both of the brothers cheeks, but they ignored it. "No you weren't interupting. Was there something you needed?"
"My wife has finished with the cooking, if you would like to dine with us. I have let the rest of the town know that they are to meet at the church, in an hours time. Will that be enough time for you?"
Fai grinned, there was somethign about the way this man spoke that he liked. "Yes, we will be ready by then. And we would love to dine with you. But I'm afraid Yuui is suffering from a stomach ache and we're not sure if he can handle food at the moment. He gets these all the time so he should be fit to eat by dinner time."
Sorata nodded, and walked out of the room. Fai motioned to Yuui, and they followed Sorata out of the room.
ugh! this took forever! and it loooong! though not as long as I was originally planing to make it. anyway hope you liked it, if you did please review. I know Kuro-chi didn't show up in this chapter but he will show up in the next I promise!
