"It's you," Fai said, staring at a face that was identical to his own.

"Fai," lips identical to his moved, "You need to wake up now."

"But if I wake up you'll leave won't you?" Fai asked, his voice young and child-like.

"Yes, I'm afraid I have to. But don't worry, you won't be alone."

"What do you mean?" Fai asked

"You have someone who can protect you now, like I couldn't. Good bye Fai."

"Wait!" Fai cried, "Will I ever see you again?"

"You will, when the time is right."

"Wait!" Fai cried shooting up in bed.

A dream, Fai thought, no a vision.

Then Fai realized that he was in a bed that was not his own. Glancing around franticly he could see that the room was very messy, with clothes, magazines and video games tossed all over the place. There were numerous sports trophies on a shelf above the desk.

Where am I, Fai wondered.

Fai tensed as the door opened, and was shocked to see Kurogane standing there with a tray of food.

"Kuro-chu, um where am I?" Fai asked.

"My house," Kurogane said placing the tray on Fai's lap, "here, my mom thinks you look underfed."

Fai looked down to see a tray heaped with chicken noodle soup, bread and lemonade. The smell made his mouth water.

"But, wait," Fai said, "why am I here?"

"I followed you," Kurogane said, taking a seat on the bed, "and then I see you lying in an alley beaten to a bloody pulp, and the car you were in driving away at high speed."

"Oh," Fai said.

"Yeah. So anyway when I came over to you, you passed out. I obviously couldn't leave you there, so I brought you here. By the way you should really should thank my little sister, she took care of your wounds."

"What?" Fai asked startled, looking down and realizing he was shirtless with a thick white bandage wrapped around his mid section.

To his horror he realized Kurogane could see his scares. The dozens crisscrossing his arms as well as several scars across his chest and back.

He pulled the sheets up around himself, despretly trying to hide himself from Kurogane.

Kurogane sighed, "Look, you don't have to tell me anything right now, just eat your food and come downstairs if you want. My mom and sister really want to meet you."

"Um, Okay," Fai said as Kurogane left shutting the door behind him.

"Well," Tomoyo demanded as soon as Kurogane reached the bottom of the stairs, "How is he?"

"He's fine," Kurogane said plopping down on the sofa next to his mom.

"Well, when I was bandaging his wounds I notice he had a lot of scars. I get the feeling he's very broken inside." She said "But I think he has a very kind heart."

"Well, Kurogane he looked simply awful when you carried him in here," his mother said, "and you didn't look much better."

"Yeah," Tomyo said, "You were pale as a ghost!"

"Shut up!" Kurogane yelled, "I just didn't want him dieing on me is all!"

"Awww," Tomoyo said, poking Kurogane's face, "You're blushing!"

"Oh, just go away," Kurogane roared, swatting at Tomoyo like she was a particularly annoying insect.

Tomoyo just laughed and ran away.

"Well," his mother said, "he's welcome to stay here as long as he needs."

"Thanks mom."
