Rating/Warnins:R, violence, some boy-love

Summary: Fai's got this feeling that just won't go away. It gets more intense as time goes by. It's disturbing and starting to scare him.

Verse: Tokyo Babylon

Author's notes: I'm using a similiar reason for the technically Yuui to be Fai. I put in some references to other series too. comments and crit welcome.

UPDATE: I split this story into two endings because I didn't like the direction I took, but someone else may like it. I did an alternative.

"No! I won't ever forgive you! Why did do this to him?!" The boy was wild with grief and held onto the mutilated body of his brother with all his strength, as if his will would bring him back. The man who had pushed this cruel fate onto him smiled almost gently. He knew that he wouldn't have an answer from such a person, but it felt like the words had flown out of him.

"I'm surprised that you have enough spiritual will to actually stay awake. You won't remember it anyway. Anyway you..." Yuui couldn't see the man's face, and when he looked again at the shocked look permanantly glued to his brother's face it made him want to throw up. He shook him gently. The man droned on in the background satisfied to hear his own voice.

"C'mon. Stop looking like that Fai...Don't you dare look at me like you're surprised of my failure..." The petals of sakura gently floated down as if on cue. A singular petal fell to Fai's lips and Yuui felt the inesplicable sadness of what was happening inside of his heart creep up. He closed his brothers eyes and brushed off the petal. More petals fell at a faster rate, covering only his brother. Trying to take him away. Yuui became frantic as he tried to push away the petals.

"No use in that don't you think? You are powerful, but there can be only one person who stops me if you're thinking of that. He is..." Yuui could not hear the rest because he could only weep and try to hold onto the rapidly dissapearing body. The sakura petals were whirling all around him. He could see nothing except the blood stained hand in his own. His mind was blank except for the thought that this could not possibly be happening. It couldn't be, it wasn't real! It wasn't real at all!

Fai woke with a start at the disturbing dream. He knew that his brother had died in an accident at his school because of a faulty window. The panicked feeling in his gut lingered though and he hoped that it wouldn't affect his whole day again. He looked at the clock besides him and realised that it was about time to get up again. For a fleeting moment he felt that he should tell Ashura-sensei or even Kuro-pan his dream but the very thought made him shiver. Ashura of course wouldn't say anything and Kuro-puu probably would call him delusional. He wasn't even near his brother when that had happened.

As he brushed his teeth Fai wondered vaguely why the roles were reveresed in his dream. He couldn't really even remember his feelings, only the image of blood stained sakura and an almost gentle smile. Thinking about these things almost made him late so Fai decided to disregard it. He usually walked, but he decided to take his bike to school this morning. Kuro-pin was at the gate waiting for him, so Fai knew that he had barely made it.

"Idiot, you can barely make it to school. Like that girl in 2-F always running with a piece of toast in her mouth every morning." Fai knew that he was talking about Miyuki-chan but he decided not to say anything abou it. Fai felt a gentle breeze at his back and when he turned to look there was a boy running towards the gate. Even though Fai was sure this person was a transfer and they never had met it felt like he carried a scent of familiarity. "C'mon." Kuro-guu prompted as the bell rang and Fai couldn't help but notice that the student had a sakura petal on his lapel although it wasn't time for them just yet.

Fai got scolded in class for not paying attention, but his mind felt like it was in a billion places at once. At lunch he decided that he had to concentrate, or he'd get in trouble again. "You're in space today aren't you?" Kurogane asked him seriously and he couldn't help but smile. He wanted to explain his dream, but instead he talked about the new student.

"Did you notice that new student Subaru Sumergi-san? He had a sakura petal on his lapel. It isn't time for them just yet is it?" He asked taking a bite out of a butter bun Kuro-puu handed him. "It was odd. I felt like I felt a bit of a warm breeze right before I saw him. Do you think that it means something Kuro-wuf?"

"Call people by their names idiot first of all. I didn't notice the petal though, I was trying to get your attention. It's getting a bit warmer, so maybe he's from a different part of the city. Nothing is blooming just where we are yet." He looked a bit thoughtful. "There didn't seem to be any odd feeling I got from him though. You're better at picking up that sort of stuff." It was logical, but it still bothered Fai on a level that he couldn't explain. Not Sumergi-san, but the air around him. A presence that lingered in his aura. It disturbed him more than a little to think about it.

"Nevermind." He said quietly looking down at the crumbling bun in his fingertips. He didn't want it to ruin his day, and he definitely did not want it to follow him home. Just being alone in the house with those sort of thoughts would drive him absolutely mad. Kurogane looked at him with concern, but he changed the conversation quickly as he sensed the mood had changed.

"I've got something to show you after school." He said in a somber tone and Fai quickly perked up. "Don't get all excited. It's a secret and you'll have to wait for it. I know you're going to go on about it all day anyway. You aren't busy are you?"

"Never busy enough to skip out on a date." Kurogane rolled his eyes at that but he didn't object to it. It sent a flutter through Fai, but he chalkes it up to his own imagination. Anything is a good distraction and after school liasons are especially welcome.

"Liasion." Kuro-wuf said quietly shaking his head and Fai knew that he had said the last sentence out loud. It didn't really matter though, it was true and teasing all at once. "You say that like I plan to take you out to one of those hotels." Fai stopped himself from saying anything about that one because it was way too easy. He scarfed down the rest of his butter bun instead the sweet crumbs on his hands would have to be washed. As they left for the next period Fai spotted the boy again. "If you're so interested, you should go talk to him." Kuro-tan said, startling him out of his reveire.

"Ah, I see! Kuro-puff is jealous!" He said in delight, but both of them knew that the words were just to change the conversation again. He couldn't help but to feel unease around Sumergi-san though. The rest of the day didn't drag like it usually did whenever Kuro-chii was hiding something from him. Fai felt annoyed for a moment at having to drag around his bike, but he soon came up witha very cunning plan. As they left their last class Fai put his hand on Kuro-suu's shoulder.

"Let's ride my bike there!" He said excitedly. Kuro-kuro didn't like the sound of that obviously and knew that Fai was up to something. He brushed Fai's hand from his shoulder with an annoyed grunt.

"Come back for it, if it's so important. I know how you are already. Damn idiot! Won't work on me twice." He continued to mumble and started walking away at a fast rate. "You'll get left." He threatened when he looked back and Fai hadn't moved. Fai had been shocked at Kuro-meanie.

"You're no fun at all sometimes. Got to loosen up sometimes, although I would have been surprised if you fell for it again. It was fun that time." They walked down the boulevard towards the train station. Fai didn't necessarily want to take the train because of the time that it took sometimes.
