A/N: I'm really pleased with the response you guys have given for this idea. Here's the next chapter.

Enjoy~

Yuuko watched through a small, magical mirror as Ashura opened a rift in space to the forbidden valley and pulled the little child into his world. Of course, he had to leave the corpse of his twin behind because the magic was not strong enough to get them both out and Ashura only had so much power at his disposal. Even so, Hitsuzen had played out differently than she had expected. Fei Wong's decision to bring the future warrior on his side had sent a steady stream of ripples through time and space. The future had once again become uncertain, just the way it was always meant to be. Turning away as the king began coaxing the boy to reveal his name, Yuuko shook her head and sent a silent prayer for the safety of all the children who were bound to go on the inevitable journey.

Maybe… things might turn out more in their favor than before.

"My name is Fai." The boy said and she had to bite back a bitter smile. Maybe…some things were not meant to change, no matter how many ripples went out into the world.

A/N: Despite the fact that Fai (or Yuui) does not blame himself for his twin's death, he still ends up taking his name. Though it's mainly so that he can avenge his brother than letting him have a chance at life again.

Any thoughts on how Kurogane's life might have changed now?
