Switched

He would have preferred having a pawn with magic but his divinations had shown how that would only lead to failure. So, being the smart man that he was, Fei Wang Reed reached out for the boy who would grow up to be a ruthless warrior instead. The Witch could have the magician as her pawn.

21. The Vow

Fai was horrified to realize that the warrior was dying, dying because he had tried to save Fai by stopping the clone from gouging out his eyes. And now the man was begging for death. Fai could not have another death on his conscience. Especially the death of a man he had come to see as something of an irritating brother. Or a close cousin. Though he had no living blood relatives left, this dysfunctional group of dimension travelers was his family and now…now one of them was dying and Fai could not let that happen. He had to save him, no matter the consequences. Kurogane was no monster and he did not deserve to die the way he was. So, damning the outcome, Fai made the wish to save his life.

The ninja tried to stop him once more but Fai cut him off in a cold and harsh manner.

"If you want to die that bad, I'll be the one to kill you." He told the dying man in a cold manner, missing the sad smile that flittered across Yuuko's face for just a fraction of a second as she watched it all proceed.

A/N: Any thoughts?
