Sorry guys about the some-what slow updating. I was having a off-period and couldn't get to write much. Now I'm back and I'll try to update all of my ongoing stories this week. ^_^

Hope this chapter will make up for it; it's longer then the other chapters in this story. I was on a roll with this ever since my Off-period was suddenly over. (please don't ask how it started though)

Now i really need to know if you all want YuuiSyao. Otherwise i'll just assume you guys want it (though i know there are some readers who don't) so you got to vote on my profile on it before the end of June (when I'll post part three-which will be longer then this one-). So speak up~!

Warning: usual things: language and other things

Enjoy~!

Summer Vacation: Can good things last?

Part two: Road trip/Fai's side

[Takes place an hour before 'Yuui's side']

[2:59am]

Fai sat on the soft warm bed; covered with cuts and bruises. His eyes were dry from crying all day. He stared at the floor; not having the energy to look up.

'Why?' Fai whispered out. 'Why did this happen to me? What did I do to deserve this? How could he tell them that after he promised me not to? I'm such an idiot.' He rubbed his eyes in sadness; not noticing that his younger brother was standing in the doorway with the first-aid kit staring at him with a frown.

'Big brother?'

Fai snapped his head up to see Yuui walking towards him and sitting next to him while opening the kit. He remained silent as his younger brother was applying ointment to the cuts on his left arm.

Yuui looked at him. "Do you want to talk about it?' He didn't anything to him since the incident just hours ago at school because he thought it would do more harm than good. However it was very unnerving for him to see his usually happy brother in pain; both in a physical and emotional sense.

Fai shook his head. 'No. Not really.' He hated lying to his brother but he wasn't in the mood. He just wanted to forget that moment; pretend that it didn't happen; that he got the injuries from just tripping on the sidewalk. But he couldn't; it really did happen and it occurred because he told someone his secret. And the person who he told to repaid him by announcing it to those people. Now, it's out in the open; and there was nothing he can do now.

'Okay brother, now could you turn this way please so I can see your face. I need to know if they did anything else to you.' Fai could tell that Yuui was angry; no beyond angry. Though he wasn't angry at him but at the whole fiasco.

'Fine.' He turned his head only to have his younger twin hug him tightly in his arms. Fai was in a state of shock that he didn't notice that he hugged back. 'Yuui?'

'Why?' Yuui croaked out. He gripped Fai's shirt tightly. 'Why did he do this to you? He had to right to tell those…those….asses about it! He had no right!'

Fai couldn't believe his ears. 'Yuui? Did you just curse! Mom and Dad would have a fit if you-'

'I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW!' Yuui screamed out. He calmed himself down while trying to breathe. 'All I care right now is that my big brother got hurt and I wasn't there to stop it.' He didn't know who was crying first but he felt something wet on his face. 'That man, that Ashura had no right to tell them anything. He shouldn't even be teaching right now after what he did to you.'

Fai sighed as he pushed Yuui gently off of him. 'Yuui, I thought I was the one who should be mad about all of this.' He plastered a smile. 'After all, you had nothing to do with it; I'm the one who has caused this. This is my fault for putting too much trust into a person who shouldn't even be trusted in the first place. You were right Yuui. You were right all along.' His smile was all it took for him not to start crying again.

Yuui wouldn't hear of it. 'Brother, don't say that.' He patted his older twin's head. 'We all make mistakes; we just had to learn from them. Just because I was right doesn't mean I'll always be right. It also doesn't mean I can't make mistakes either.' He frowned. 'Please don't be down; I don't want you to be sad anymore. Please brother.'

Fai leaned his head on Yuui's and gave out a sad laugh. 'Hey now; I'm supposed to be the one to say all that…' He started tearing up with a small smile. 'I'm supposed to be the one to help 'you' when 'you're' down…." He felt tears going down his cheeks. 'I'm…I'm….I'm your big brother…!' He couldn't hold back anymore as he starting to sob loudly upon Yuui's chest.

Yuui sadly smiled as he wrapped Fai's head in his arms. 'I know that. You are the best big brother I ever had. I wouldn't ask for a better twin. I love you Fai and don't you forget it.'

The scene faded into nothing as Yuui continued to comfort Fai while he laughed in between his sobbing.

"Oi Fai."

A groan under the covers.

"Hey idiot teacher; wake up."

A blue eye lazily opened as the figure was shaken gently by another. With a moan of discontent, the figure slowly sat up and rubbed the sleepiness away from the eyes. "Yes, Kurgy; what is it?"

Kurogane frowned as he sat next to Fai and patted his head softly. "It's time to get up. We have that cruise thing to go to right?"

Fai blinked his eyes as he smiled. "Oh yeah~! Now I remember~!" He then looked at Kurogane who had a slightly sad look on his face. "Kuro-rin; what's wrong? Did something happen when I was asleep?"

"I should be asking you the same." Kurogane pointed to the pillow at Fai had his head was on to find that there were drops on water staining it. "I just walked into our bedroom and saw you tearing. I figured that you had a nightmare or something."

Fai looked at his direction. His eyes widened before closing them with a sigh. He looked back at his significant other and plastered a smile. "I guess you could say that." But before Kurogane could call him out on the fake smile, Fai quickly Hyuu-ed before jumping out of the bed. "Now then, I need to get my suitcase packed before doing anything else. Say Kuro-tan; where are the suitcases in this house?"

Kurogane opened his mouth to say something but closed them. He sighed. "They're in the living room but I packed them already while you were asleep."

To say that Fai was happy was completely an understatement. He tackled Kurogane onto the bed while exclaiming in pure joy. "Oh you're so nice Kuro-love~! I can't believe what a gentle man you are~! You make mommy so proud~!"

Kurogane groaned from the bed. "Just get off me so we can get something to eat before meeting up with the Witch and the rest of the group." He hoped that Fai couldn't see him blushing.

Fai gave in as he let go of the tan man and got off the bed. "Hmm, you're right. I'll whip us something quick and delicious for us to eat."

Quickly sitting up, Kurogane glared at him. "Fine, but nothing too sweet. You know how much I loathed those things."

Fai waved him off with a dismissive smile. "Yes, Yes Kuro-buro; whatever you say." He then walked to the door way before stopping for a mere second. "Well I might as well take a shower before cooking; do you want to join me in the bath~?" He laughed as he nearly dodged a pillow that was heading his way. "Okay then, I'll be out of the shower in a bit. See you soon~!" And with that, Fai walked away from the door way and down the hall.

From the bed, Kurogane sighed as he casted his eyes on the covers. 'That moron is hiding something again. I could just feel it coming from that fake smile of his.' Glancing up, he could hear Fai singing Kurogane's favorite song 'Zankou' while the sounds of rushing water more or less add some effect to Fai's voice. He faintly smiled. 'However, I can't be forceful with the guy; after all I have something that even he doesn't know about….not yet at least.' Chuckling to himself, Kurogane got up from the bed and started making it.

"Heh. Let the trip from Hell begin."

[3:56am]

About an hour later, Fai and Kurogane met up with the rest of the group only for the chemistry teacher to forget one important errand.

"Oh dear!" Fai silently muttered. He covered his mouth with his hand. "I remembered what I needed to do! Oh man how did I forget it; I'm such a moron!"

Kurogane was right next to him when he was having an argument with himself. "What did you forget that you would actually call yourself a moron for?"

Fai spun around to meet eye-contact with his boyfriend. "I forgot to tell Yuui about the whole trip!"

Raising an eyebrow, Kurogane sighed. "I see. So that's why I don't see the calmer version of yourself around here." He sarcastically said as he looked at the scene before him. Seeing Syaoron and Sakura were having a conversation; Yuuko complaining to Watanuki about the lack of alcohol while Himawari and Syao-kun were trying to talk to Doumeki. And yet he could not spot Yuui anywhere.

Fai didn't know whether to smack him or taunt him about his random moment of humor. He chose neither. "Kuro-sama; I don't think you realize the seriousness of the situation. I forgot to tell my only sibling that we're going on a cruise! What kind of brother am I to do such a thing to him?"

Kurogane chose not comment on that. "True. Though there's little to no chance he'll be here now."

"I wouldn't say that Kurogane-sensei~!"

The gym teacher groaned as he turned his head to the chairman who just happened to have overheard the dilemma at hand. "Witch; weren't you just nagging to the wimp just a minute ago?"

Yuuko playfully smacked Kurogane upside the head. "Don't be so rude my dear friend; I'm just telling one of our precious students about the lack of refreshments that we should be having while going on car." She smirked as Kurogane was rubbing his head in disapproval but held back his words. Turning her attention at Fai, she whipped out her cell phone. "And now for your sweet brother I will be taking care of it. One moment please~!" She pressed a few buttons before waiting on the line.

A few rings were heard before she heard a click. "YUUI-SENSEI~!" She screamed out.

Fai had to hold back Kurogane before he could charge at the woman.

"…Um…..Hello?" Yuui answered.

Yuuko pouted. "I'm hurt Yuui-sensei and I made the trouble of calling you too~!" She heard a brief moment of silence before a silent sigh was heard.

"Yuuko?"

"Yes?" She had a feeling that Yuui was not exactly himself at that point.

"Do you realize what time it is right now?"

"Well Yuui-sensei, do you realize that it's summer break for the academy?"

"Yeah, but you're avoiding the question Yuuko." Yep, he's mad.

"Aww~! You're no fun~!" She smiled as Kurogane was harshly whispering to Fai about her way of persuading and the kids packing some of the suitcases. "Anyway I need you to pack a week's worth of clothing and other necessities."

"Excuse me?" She could tell that he was still in his bed.

"And make sure you are at the front of the school by 5:00am. Kurogane-sensei, Watanuki and Syao-kun will be waiting for you. Fai-sensei will be with me and the others. Now don't delay~!" Yuuko declared loudly as Kurogane was grumbling while telling the selected students to get into the SUV with their suitcases and Fai laughing next to him.

"WAIT!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing as the voice was heard loud and clear from Yuuko's cell.

"….What are you talking about? What's this all about Yuuko-sensei?" Yuui cried out as sounds of shuffling and ruffling was heard on his side.

Yuuko looked at the cell before looking at Fai. "Could you come over here for a second Fai-sensei?" She whispered out.

Fai shrugged before going over to her. Yuuko gave him her cell and made a gesture to talk to him. Fai compiled. "Yuui~!" He heard a soft groan.

"Hi big brother." Fai could tell right away that Yuui was not a happy man. So he decided to play with him a bit to ease the tension.

"Wahh~! Yuui you don't sound very happy to hear me~! Is there something wrong~?" Fai pouted. He then saw Kurogane scoffing as he got to the driver's seat of the SUV.

"Other than the fact that Yuuko-sensei woke me up at this un-godly hour and is now telling me to pack-which I am- for some event that I was not informed of?" The sound of a suitcase shutting closed rather roughly made Fai a bit guilty.

"Sorry Yuui~! I guess I should've warned you about that." Fai awkwardly chuckled over the phone. He heard Yuui sigh.

"No it's fine brother; I'm just very tired right now. Could you please put Yuuko-sensei back on?" Yuui sounded a bit guilty himself. He couldn't blame him though; he was never a morning person to begin with.

"Okay little brother~! I'll talk to you soon~!" Fai exclaimed happily.

Yuui chuckled on the other line. "Okay Fai."

Fai gave Yuuko her cell back as she thanked him. He went over to the SUV where Kurogane and the young male duo had yet to leave. He made his way to the driver's side and gestured Kurogane to roll down his window. He smiled when Kurogane frowned but complied with the request.

"Yeah, what is it?" Kurogane asked none-too-gently.

"Well I just want to tell you that Yuui will be coming to the cruise. However I think you should wait for him at the academy while getting the rest of the stuff." Fai informed him with a grin.

Nodding, Kurogane leaned forward and he two shared a short but loving kiss on the lips. Watanuki blushed while Syao-kun smiled from the backseats. Pulling away, Kurogane frowned. "Are you sure you don't want to join us? I mean…I don't mind if you do or anything." He muttered the last bit; hoping Fai wouldn't hear it.

Fai just smiled; pretending not to hear his boyfriend's sign of pleading. "No thanks. Besides I already told Yuuko-sensei that I'll be riding with her to the port where the ship will be." He then stepped back. "You should get going now. I don't want my brother thinking we pranked him or something."

Kurogane silently chuckled. "Yeah, we wouldn't want that." He rolled his eyes as he start the engine and put the car in drive. "Have fun without me. For now anyway."

Fai laughed as the SUV pulled out of the parking spot. "I'll miss you~! Bye Syao-kun~! Bye Watanuki~! Have fun on the road with my little adorable brother~!" He could hear Kurogane gagging while the boys had a laugh inside the car before it left the place and into the main road where it drove off to the direction of the academy. He smiled before turning back to the ones who were left behind. "Well now, shall we finish putting the stuff into the van~?"

Yuuko looked at Fai with a smile but could see that he was sad about something. She would have to talk about that later.

After several minutes the rest of the group was ready to get on the road with Yuuko driving and Fai getting shotgun. The ones who were in the van with them were Himawari, Sakura, Syaoron and Doumeki. Yuuko pulled the van off the parking lot and onto the road, driving to the destination.

Feeling bored very quickly, Fai turned his attention to the students. "So, are you all excited about the cruise~?"

Himawari beamed at the question. "Oh yes Fai-sensei! I've never been on a ship before. I think it will be a very exciting trip~!"

Sakura nodded in agreement. "I can't wait for all the fun things we'll do once we get on that ship right Syaoron~?"

Syaoron nodded. "Of course Sakura." He looked over at Doumeki who was quieter than usual. "Hey Doumeki; are you alright?"

Doumeki only spared a glance at the rest of the group before looking back at the window. "I'm fine."

Fai hyuu-ed. "Oh Doumeki; you always were a man of a few words~!"

Yuuko laughed as Fai sat back at his seat. "Of course he is Fai-sensei. That's what makes him and Watanuki a perfect couple~! A ying and yang reference if you will."

Doumeki slightly stiffened at the mention of his…..boyfriend.

Syaoron caught the movement but kept silent about at as he talked to the girls. He would have to talk to him about that when they get the chance.

"So who wants to sing a song~?" Fai exclaimed loudly.

"We do, We do!" Himawari and Sakura answered happily.

Syaoron sweatdropped while Doumeki didn't even utter a word.

And so the road trip began.

About an hour or so later, Yuuko and Fai were talking amongst themselves while the younger girls were dozing off; leaving Syaoron who was reading one of his books and Doumeki still staring out of the window; watching each passing tree go by.

Everything seemed almost calm and natural in the car and on the road.

"Yuuko-sensei, look! An ice cream store!"

"What!"

*SCREECH*

And the calm atmosphere went right out the window as all of the students' heads were harshly pushed forward at the sudden stop at the vehicle. The van then pulled into a nearby ice cream store that was right at the side of the highway.

Yuuko and Fai quickly got out as soon as the car was parked and ran into the store.

Himawari and Sakura were trying to comprehend the situation as they were rudely awakened just moments before. Syaoron was rubbing his neck after his seatbelt suddenly decided to choke him and while Doumeki was rubbing his heads from the impact of hitting the window.

"Syaoron…what happened? Did the van run out of gas?" Sakura asked while she was taking off her seatbelt.

Syaoron was taking off his seatbelt as well. "Not exactly. Fai-sensei saw something and Yuuko-sensei suddenly stopped the car. Sorry about that." He knew that it wasn't his fault but he felt the need apologize regardless.

Sakura just smiled. "Don't need to say sorry." She turned to Himawari who took off her seatbelt as well. "Are you okay?"

Himawari nodded. "Yep. Though not the best wake-up call I expected." The girls shared a laugh. Then she looked out the window and gasped happily. "Look guys!"

The rest looked at what Himawari was so giddy about.

'Oh yeah. I almost forgot what Fai just said. We're at an ice cream store.' Syaoron thought as he looked at the floor to see the book he dropped just laying there. He looked up to see Doumeki already taking his own seatbelt and opening the door to let them outside.

Himawari and Sakura looked at each other in concern while Syaoron frowned. They were about to ask Doumeki if he was okay when Fai came running out with a sundae in his hand.

"Kids, if you all don't come in, Yuuko-sensei and I will eat all of this delicious ice cream~!" He ran back inside with a 'Hyuu'.

Syaoron and Sakura awkwardly chuckled at the scene while Doumeki got out of the van first.

After getting their fill on sweets; the group left the store and started to get back to the van. Syaoron grabbed Doumeki's arm; stopping him from walking any further.

"Um Doumeki; can I talk to you for a second?" The brown-eyed boy asked in a polite manner.

Doumeki nodded though it was clear in his eyes that he rather be anywhere but here at that point.

Syaoron told Fai and Yuuko that they will be at the van in a few minutes. The teachers gave then the 'okay' but told them to hurry it up or they will be late.

After getting Doumeki as far away as possible from the van; he let go of him and looked at him straight in the eyes. "Listen Doumeki," Syaoron started. "I know that this is none of my business whatsoever but I can't help but notice that you and Watanuki are not exactly talking to each other; less so then usual. Is everything alright between you two?"

Doumeki thought about what to say to Syaoron. "Not really." He looked at Syaoron and saw the worry and concern that he had for him. "Watanuki and I are in a rot right now."

"Can I ask what happened?" Syaoron knew that he was digging his own grave by asking Doumeki about something he didn't want to talk about but it was better than being left in the dark about this.

Doumeki shook his head. "Sorry Syaoron but I don't want to talk about it anymore." He was getting annoyed; not at Syaoron but the whole thing. He just want to get the cruise done and over with.

Syaoron sighed and smiled. "Alright. I won't pry but I just want you to know that if you need someone to talk to; you have friends who will help you out." With that he patted Doumeki on the shoulder and walked back to the van.

With slightly wide eyes, Doumeki couldn't help but faintly smile at what Syaoron said. "Yeah, you're right."

The group was back at the road again with Yuuko still on the wheel. She and Fai were having a conversation with each other while the students were finished whatever ice cream they couldn't finish earlier.

Yuuko thought now would to talk to Fai about something. "So Fai, I couldn't help but noticed back at the parking lot when Kurogane left that you looked rather sad about something. Care to talk about it?"

Fai smiled sadly. "Well…I had a dream. It wasn't so much as a dream as it was a sleepy flashback." He had no idea why he was telling this to Yuuko of all people but it was better then holding it in. "It was something that happened to me when I was little and Yuui got involved in it. And yes, it involved a certain person of the past but he wasn't in the dream." He briefly looked back at the students to see that they were having fun before turning back to Yuuko. "I just never thought about my past in a long time before that dream came up."

Yuuko nodded. "I see. Did you tell Kurogane about it?" She briefly looked at Fai before gluing her eyes to the road. "I'm guessing that you didn't. Otherwise this wouldn't be an issue to talk about in the first place. Am I right?"

Fai nodded with a chuckle. "You are always on top of things Yuuko-sensei." He then looked away; at the window to see the clouds floating slowly across the sky. "But this isn't anything I can tell Kuro-sama about. He still doesn't much about my or rather our past. I don't want to burden him with those kinds of things-Ow!" Fai rubbed his forehead as Yuuko flicked her finger in that spot.

"Fai, listen to yourself for a second." Yuuko was gripping the steering wheel rather tightly. "You don't want to burden him with those kinds of things? Who do you think you're talking about? This is a man who loves you and understands you on so many levels. To say that you don't want to burden him would mean that you don't trust him enough to tell him about this right?"

Fai stared at Yuuko who would look angry at the road then at him. "It's not that I don't trust him but how do you tell someone you love something like this? I just can't." He rubbed his eyes; trying to stop any tears that would escape.

"Just tell him." Yuuko simply stated.

The chemistry teacher looked at her in shock. "What?"

"Just as I said. Tell him. You will never know the result unless you take a risk. You love him don't you?" Yuuko didn't see but she knew Fai nodded. "Then it's enough to open yourself to him about your past. You shouldn't assume the worst until you take the chance."

Fai silently gasped. However his face slowly had a true smile spread across. "Yo-you're right. I should just try. I'm just scared about what he would say."

Yuuko ruffled his hair with one hand as she smiled. "Don't be afraid. I'm sure everything will work out."

Giggling, Fai held his sides. "I guess that's true." After calming down a bit, Fai fondly smiled. "Thank you Yuuko-sensei."

Smiling but paying attention to the road; Yuuko chuckled. "My pleasure; just make sure the big dog thanks me as well."

Fai smirked. "No problem~!"

Suddenly Himawari's cell phone rang. The girl picked it up and smiled. "Hello? Oh hey Watanuki! Oh, you guys need directions? Okay, one sec." She covered the phone with her hand. "Um Yuuko-sensei, do you have the written directions to the place? Kurogane-sensei needs to know where to go."

Yuuko shook her head dramatically. "And I thought big dog was more responsible." She gestured Fai with a shake of her hand. "Could you check the glove compartment? There's a piece of paper hidden inside of it."

"Okay~!" Fai opened the compartment and took out the paper and gave it to Himawari. "Here you go~!"

Himawari took the paper. "Thank you!" She turned her attention back to the phone. "Okay I got the directions. Could you give the phone to Kurogane-sensei please? Thank you Watanuki, I'll see you soon~!"

Doumeki was in a slightly better mood but still had his eyes on the scenery.

Sakura frowned as she leaned over to Syaoron. "Hey Syaoron, will Doumeki be okay?"

Syaoron looked at Doumeki then at Sakura and smiled. "I'm sure he and Watanuki will be fine."

The young girl blushed as she smiled back. "I hope so."

"Wahh~! Look everyone we're almost there~!"

The students and Fai opened their windows and looked outside. They were amazed.

"Wow, you mean….." Sakura gasped in awe.

Yuuko nodded. "Yep~! That's where we're staying in for the next week~!"

Things seem to be picking up smoothly as the van fast approached their destination.

However the day had just begun.
