Okay i lied...sort of. I wanted to post this to fill in the would-be blanks for some readers. I feel like i just added characters to fill in and that's that. so i wrote this to explain why i pick Fei Wong Reed in this story and in the specific arc.
Also i call this a filler as well because it's not very important to read unless you want to. ^_^
After this though, it will be on a temporary hiatus. I have a bit of trouble on what will be the next arc for this story. But don't worry; I'll think of something. (I have a few vague ideas though). I hope you enjoy this~!
This is dedicated to all my readers,favorite-ers and alerts-ers as well as my reviewers who are loving my story so far! (and yes some words i just made it up but who cares! I love you guys!)
I. Jinx- This seat is warm... O.o Imma give a shout out to my pet rock! KEEP ROCKIN'!
TrueDespair: Yes, she is that random but fellow DeathNote and other fandom readers might recognize her craziness so don't act so surprised. and BTW- Pet rock...nope don't have one.
I. Jinx- You don't know what I got! :P
TrueDespair: ...right
Warning: language, some poor level of angst at best with a mix of (yours truly) humor.

Enjoy~!
Epilogue/ Filler: What happened after the summer arc.
Yuui was in front of his own laptop while sitting on a stool of his own kitchen; checking a few things on the internet. Right after the cruise, Yuui went straight home and slept for hours on his couch; not wanting to deal with his brother's phone calls or the constant knocking of a certain chairman.
The next day though he went out and hang out with fellow students and teachers. He was glad that all of that drama and complications were behind them on that ship. Even Captain Subaru and Kamui were happy to see them off on a happier note.
Partly because Kamui and Kurogane won't be seeing each other's faces again.
He then found out that there was still time left before school starts again. With that fact in mind, Yuui started doing some research on his laptop. He wanted to know for sure if the incident involving Fai and Ashura was brought into the light.
During the day he would either be with Kurogane and Fai or be with Syaoron ('but just to hang out! It wasn't a date of any kind!' as he tried to convince himself at times). However at night he would stay up and tried to find the published story. No such luck.
It was back to the original point that he was in the kitchen with the laptop one night while having a cup of coffee. He scrolled down on a page that involved school cases. He was really hoping he would find it. He was so into his work that he didn't notice a presence behind him.
"YUUI~!"
"Gah!" Yuui jumped out of his seat and grasped his chest in fear. He then frowned at the person. "Brother…"
Fai smiled. "Good evening, Yuui~!" He held out a plastic bag to Yuui. "Kurgy and I were worried that you'd skip dinner so we got you some take out~!"
Yuui looked up at his kitchen clock to see that it was 9:32pm. Boy, sometimes he really needs to pay attention to his surroundings; you never know when a sibling would scare the crap out of you. Speaking of….
"Brother, how did you get into my place?" Yuui asked as he took the plastic bag and placed it on the counter next to the laptop.
Fai giggled. "Silly Yuui~! You forgot that I have a spare key that you gave me when you moved into this city~!" He took out the key and twirled it around his index finger. "Just in case~!"
Yuui inwardly groaned. "Oh yeah; I forgot about that." He went back to his computer and continued where he left off. "So, where is Kurogane? I imagined that he should be here with us at this point.
"Kuro-tan had to do some errands for Tomoyo-chan. Poor girl broke her camera right before the end of her summer camp; so I asked Big Dog to help her get a new one~! He's so sweet to that girl; he just couldn't say no to that girl~!" Fai giggled. "It's like a warrior serving his princess~!"
"But it's too bad that the warrior already had his prince charming." Yuui joked; not leaving his eyes off the screen. He didn't need to see to know that Fai's face was blushing heavily.
Fai's face didn't stay red for long as he smiled fondly at the back of his younger twin. "Hyuu~! Yuui; joking~? He must be really hungry~!"
"How's Ashura doing?" Yuui asked; unwilling to go down that road of discussion.
Fai's smile grew slightly wider. "Ashura's doing well. He's still going through a lot of tests to see if there's anything the doctors can do to cure or at the least keep him from dying too soon but the signs are good."
Yuui nodded. "That's good." Since the reveal of the real story behind what happened in the twins' past, Yuui and Ashura became the best of friends. Ashura transferred to a hospital in the city so he can be close to his old and new friends. Yuui would visit him when he had the time.
The chemistry teacher could hear a hint of sadness in Yuui's voice. Concerned for him, Fai walked up to him and looked over his back and viewed at the screen. "What are you doing?"
"I'm just searching for something." Yuui answered simply.
Fai frowned. "Yuui, it's over. Everything's alright now."
"No; it's not." The cooking teacher angrily said. "Not yet anyway. I need to find out if the true story was brought into light and if possible; I want to know what happened to my old music teacher; the one who started this whole mess." He almost slammed his keyboard at the thought. He just couldn't believe that the one he trusted caused the rifts between not only Fai and Ashura but himself and what he believed as well. "I'm sorry but unless I know everything; I can't let this go unnoticed."
"Yuui…."
Then there was a knock on the door.
"Oh! That must be Kuro-puu~! I'll get it~!" Fai didn't wait for Yuui's 'okay' as he went to the door and opened it up. He smiled. "Kuro-tan~!"
Kurogane grumbled as he held a stack of paper in his left side. "I thought I told you not to call me that!"
Fai smirked. "Oh~? You didn't have a problem, with that last night~!"
The man blushed as he pushed Fai aside to enter. "Not where your brother can hear that!"
"Too late!" Was the response of said brother.
Fai laughed as Kurogane growled in his somehow horrid luck.
Yuui looked up to see Kurogane (who had a tint of pink on his cheeks) along with a smiling Fai in tow. "Good evening Kurogane. May I ask what brings you here tonight?"
Kurogane huffed as he plopped the stack of papers in on Yuui's keyboard. "Here; the witch wanted you to read it."
Confused, Yuui took the stack and started reading the first page.
Fai and Kurogane leaned in front of the stove to wait for Yuui to finish reading.
Fai looked over at Kurogane and smiled. "So how's Tomoyo-chan~?"
"She's been doing okay. I got her then damn new camera you told me to get her though."
"Aww, Kurgy~! You can't still be mad about it~!"
"Wait till we get home and you'll find out."
A glance of Fai's look of horror almost made Kurogane chuckle. Almost.
Yuui, being a fast reader got to the last sheet before setting it on the right of his laptop. "…I see."
Fai looked over at Yuui in surprise. "See what Yuui?"
Yuui turned around as he grabbed the stack once more and gave it to Fai.
The chemistry teacher took the stack and skimmed it over. His eyes widened. "Oh my."
"Where did you get this information Kurogane?" Yuui asked.
Kurogane shrugged. "I was on my way here when I ran into Witch who had a stack in her hands. Then she freaking shoves them in my arms and left without saying a word. When I turned around to yell, she was gone."
"…" Fai finished skimming as he hugged the stack to his chest. "Fei Wong Reed was the family enemy?"
Kurogane gently took the stack from Fai and did a bit of reading himself. "'Fei Wong Reed was a family friend to the Fluorites for over 20 years; however due to a mishap; cause unknown, Reed became an enemy as he was under assumption that he was betrayed by them.'"The man flipped through a few more pages. "'In XXXX, it was known that Reed became a teacher at a school where he befriended one of the fluorite twins.'" Kurogane could see Yuui flinching at the sentence. Fai went to his side and tried to comfort him. The tan man continued on after the next few pages. "'Police got wind that Reed was the one who ordered the kids to inflict harm on Fai fluorite and framed Ashura Celes to hide his deeds. However Celes disappeared before authorities could question him about the incident.'" Then it was at the last page that brought anger to Kurogane's eyes. "'Fei Wong Reed was found dead at his home at XXXX XX at 3:06am. He was found after local neighbors heard a gunshot go off and ran to aid him. However when they found him, there was a gunshot hole on his forehead. In his hand was a gun and in the other was a half-burned up note that had what looked like a butterfly on the front. The police concluded that he committed suicide. He is survived by his niece Xing Huo and nephew Kyle Rondart.'"
Yuui shook his head; chuckling humorlessly. "The coward shoot himself then facing the music." He rubbed his eyes. "Man, I'm such an idiot for trusting him."
Fai hugged him from behind. "Don't say that. We were young at the time; we didn't know any better." He smiled. "But at least we all now know the truth."
Kurogane nodded. "Yea. As much as I wanted you to settle the score with that bastard, I think it's better than you killing him yourself." He then sighed. "Man, this was more stressful then I thought."
"You're telling me." Yuui retorted softly.
"Look; I'll I'm saying is that there are people who face their problems and those who choose to either run away or die instead. Just be glad that Ashura chose to face his problem even after everything that's happened." Kurogane said with a touch of content.
Fai nodded. "Yes, and besides if he didn't then you two wouldn't be best friends~!"
Yuui thought about it as a small smile came across his face. "I guess that's true. I never would have known how much he love sweets as much as Fai does if all of that never happened." He chuckled. "I guess that's that then." Yuui stood up and hugged Fai back. "Thanks guys."
Fai chuckled. "Don't forget to thank Yuuko for that too. I'm sure she didn't mean to hurt you but I guess you had the right to know."
The twins shared a laugh. Things are finally starting to pick up on a good note
Kurogane smirked. "Now that that's done and all; how about we finally eat?"
"Hyuu~! Yeah, let's eat! Let's eat! I get the plates!" Fai shouted as he went to the counter to get the supplies.
The gym teacher sighed. "I'll go get some sodas from the store." He began to walk away. "I'll be back in a second."
Yuui crossed his arms. "Why soda?"
Kurogane turned around and faintly smiled. "Because the last thing I need is a very drunk blonde and a tipsy chef when the night's done."
Knowing that Kurogane was somewhat joking, Yuui couldn't help but laugh. "I guess that's true; hurry back!"
The gym teacher nodded as he left Yuui's house and closed the door.
Yuui sighed in exhaustion as he replayed all the scenes while being a cook teacher at the academy. He had made good friends, had good memories and had to go through bad ones. However, despite it all he was glad that he was there to experience all; especially having someone like Syaoron on his side from now on.
Yuui blushed. Not that he was dating or anything! They have to take it very slow after all; bit by bit.
"Yuui~! Where do you keep the forks~?"
The chef sighed in amusement. Fai could never find the utensils in his place. "I'll be there in a minute!"
"Okay~!"
As Yuui went back to Fai he couldn't help but feel that this was just the first of many adventures at the Horitsuba academy. There will events to see and people to help. Maybe he could help himself in the process.
And who knows; maybe his friends can do the helping when he has his own problems.
Like how to explain Fai and Kurogane that he's….hanging out with Syaoron. Yeah, that's something that he will have trouble saying when that moment comes.
Oh joy.
"Yuui~! I need you~!"
"Coming!" Yuui shouted. He shook his head. Now's not the time to be thinking about that; it's time to have quality time with his brother and friend.
Besides, that's something he'll tell another day.
After all, the future holds many surprises.
