Author's Notes: Two weeks and only one review??? Nobody loves me??? TT-TT i am so hurt......

Disclaimer: I do not own Tsubasa Chronicles, nor do I own anything that says CLAMP on it. If i did, this would've happened in the manga/anime, ok?

Important:
'hello'-fai/yuui's language
"hello"-everyone else's language

'We can't wait any longer--it's been at least three months. We need to bring him back, for the burial, and start the training!' Chi tugged her ears uncertainly as her father paced the floor. Seishiro nodded.

'I agree, sire. I shall bring him back.' Seishiro bowed as he left. Chi frowned.

'What's gonna happen, Mama?' The mother shook her head.

'I'm not sure, Chi. I have no clue as to what your father is thinking.'

'Mama...'

'Yes, Chi?'

'How do you think nii-san is doing?' Her mother sighed.

'I'm not sure about that, either, Chi, but I do hope your brother is better.' Chi smiled softly, staring out the window.

'Chi thinks he is, or he will be. Because he has so many good people who care about him.'

Fai lay on his bed, strumming his guitar aimlessly, thinking of the past. The times of playing with his older brother, the times his brother covered for him when he was in trouble or about to get in trouble. Like when the visitors that came to his home, so long ago, when he was little. His first real friend, the little boy called Youou was interesting enough for Fai to glance at him every day, wishing that he could understand the boy's language, or that the boy could understand his. Until the day that Youou began to teach him his language, Fai had always hated the language barrier that seperated the two. It was even harder as the boy stayed in his house, his father being the leader of the country. He closed his eyes slowly as memories of that specific time period came up.

**FLASHBACK**

"Nii-san! HEY!Youou-nii, answer me!" A small girl pouted (she had been there as well, but did she live in the castle, and claim the older boy as her brother? Or had she come with him? Fai couldn't remember...) as Youou stare d across the table, at the twin sitting directly across from him. By this point, the one he was teaching could speak in fragmented sentences and had managed to voice his worries with "I get in trouble...speaking this language. Outside of lessons....no talking..." after Kurogane had tried to talk to him in the house. So Kurogane didn't try to contact the blonde boy out of the language lessons.

Luckily for him, it was Fai that was sitting across from him. Luckily, because if it had been Yuui, Yuui would've glared back and complained that the strange boy from another country was looking at him weird. Next to the boy, the black-haired girl was getting fed up with being ignored.

"Daddy!" (That's right, she came with them, the visitors, and she was the boy's younger sisiter.)

"Youou, pay attention to your sisiter." The message his father sent him was different, a message the was really saying "Don't stare at people." Youou jumped.

"Right!" Fai almost smiled proudly as he could understand the conversation in front of him. "Yes, Father! I'm sorry, To-chan, sorry! What were you saying?"

"To-chan..." Fai mumbled under his breath. "To-chan....Tomo-chan....Tomoyo-chan..." Fai smiled, not wanting to jump to conclusions. He looked out the window. "I'll ask Kuro-min about that later." Still strumming his guitar, no longer aimlessly as a song began to form in his head and the tune managed to come out perfect. The doorbell rang and he jumped. "Com--ah, darn it!" Picking his guitar off the floor and placing it on his bed gently, he ran down the stairs and to the door. "Hello?" He said, slightly out of breath. A tall woman with long black hair came forward.

"Fai-sama. Good afternoon." Something uneasy stirred in Fai and he frowned lightly.

"Good afternoon." He said slowly. "May I help you with something?" The woman smiled.

"Perhaps. Is your borther here?"

"No." The woman looked confused.

"He let you come out here on your own? Knowing what would happen?" Fai shook his head.

"He's dead." The woman blinked.

"Is he now?" Fai knodded, despite the fact that the woman wasn't surprised and actually seemed to be expecting it. "So, you have the magician's eyes."

"I'm not going back home, if that's what yo're here for. They don't need me, nor do they want me." She frowned lightly.

"Don't you rmemeber your family customs? Everybody has to be there! And you need to start training. If you don't, the consequences could be disasterous!"

"No. I've already decided that I'm not going back. I refuse." Fai closed the door and placed his forehead against the door, closing his eyes and sighing before going up the stairs, taking two at a time, and falling on his bed. He picked up his guitar as he played the same tune he had been working on before he had to get up. Words came up, unbidden, to match the song.

"And you can't fight the tears that aren't comeing..." Fai mumbled.

'No,' he muttered in his language, feeling like he was arguing with his brother on the song, 'no, that doesn't flow. My father will kill me for this, but...'

"And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming."

'Much better...' he said faintly and continued playing, the words sticking in his head and forming a song.

"And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming. Or the moment...hmm..." Fai didn't even have to think of the words, they came so naturally. "The moment of truth...truth in your lies." He continued playing, editing the song and forming the words in his mind as he strummed his guitar, taking things out and adding things in and agruing with himself, making comments he knew his brother would make. In a strange sort of way, it made him feel as if his brother was helping him with the song. As soon as he felt it was finished, he flew towards the notebook he saved, with the song lyrics, and a pen flew across the paper, forming the song on paper and making more corrections.

Outside, the woman stood on his porch. "Fai-sama..." Shaking her head, she sighed. "What a stubborn child. Gets that from hi s father, I suppose. But, I shall to as he wishes, for he is the living son of his mother and father." She made a sign in the air in front of her, aimed at the house, then bowned in the direction of the house and began to walk away. At the side walk, seh turned and looked up at the window that she presumed belonged to Fai. "Best of luck defying your father, Fai-sama." She whispered softly. Then she disappeared.

Author's Notes: Wow. Fai may be going insane. XD not really, but whatever. He loves his brother too much. And who is the strange woman with long hair, and how did she seem to know everything already? O.O and what is meant when she says "Best of luck defying your father"? O.O And what's this interesting little thing, about Tomoyo maybe being related to Kurogane? o.O XD too many emotions here. Haha, but why did i only get one review? i haven't updated in about two weeks becuase i was kinda counting on reivews, but i only got one. also, about every other week, my internet goes down and my computer is rendered useless. but still, only one review? TT-TT please tell me that people love me more than that!

Any questions about this fanfiction are invited and i will answer them to the best of my ability-unless the question will be answered soon in the fanfic. Thank you for reading and i hope you will enjoy this.

Just a reminder: keep in mind that i am actually writing this down on paper, and even though i am about half-done with it, i am just that-HALF-DONE! so if i catch up to myself on the computer, there will be a big pause while i try to figure out what happens next, all right?

thanks again for reading, and leave me lotsa reviews!!
