AN: I don't own Digimon. Alternate Universe. There is OCCness in here I'm sure. Currently we have Taiora and Hikari/Iori. Eventually there will be Yamajyou, Kenkeru, and Daishiro. So there is yaoi (and yuri BTW).
There once were two societies who lived side by side. One was the Fay and one was the Vallen. They lived in peace side by side. The Fay lived in the valley and the Vallen lived on the hills outside. In time, they lost contact with each other and one did not see the other for many years….
This is the story of how they became reconnected to each other.
Yamato looked at his friends playing and sighed. He knew that he would never be as happy as them. He had lost both of his parents when he was seven and his little brother Takeru was four. They had both been raised by the mages Luana and Kia. They were both wonderful to both of them, but they could not heal the loneliness that he and his brother both had. None of the Fay could. And none of the Fay could understand what the brothers were going through day after day. The Fay had always had each other. Each Fay that was born had a soul mate among the Fay and usually they found each other when they were young. However, Yamato and his brother had never found their soul mates. Yamato's playmates Taichi and Sora had both found each other and Takeru's playmates Hikari and Iori had also both found each other. It had been a good day and a bad one for the brothers. They were happy for their friends, but sad that they had no one.
Takeru looked up and saw his brother sitting in the tree with his hands around his knees. Takeru flew up and hovered in front of his brother.
"Being sad again?"
"I don't like being outside of everything."
"We aren't outside of everything. We just don't have anyone like they do."
Yamato uncurled and his brother flew into his lap. Yamato hugged Takeru to him and Takeru put his arms around his brother. The two of them stayed together comforting each other as they looked down on their friends playing.
Hikari looked up into the tree. She saw the two brothers up in the tree. Yamato often didn't come and play anymore. Very often the two brothers were with the mages as well as comforting each other. She didn't understand the two. Why were they always with the mages? It was believed that they were trying to help the brothers find their soul mates. Everyone else had found theirs years ago, but they still had no one but each other. Hikari could not imagine life without Iori.
"Kari! Watch out!"
Kari looked behind her and just caught the shining ball of light zipping toward her.
"Tai….You, you…."
Tai laughed and hid behind Sora. Iori came up and hugged Kari from behind. "You should be watching when we're playing Tag Ball. Now you get to try to hit one of us. Is Takeru out of the game?"
"I would guess so. He's up in the tree with Yamato."
"Yamato really needs to play more and be sad less," said Taichi. "Being sad never fixed anything. So come down and play!" Taichi yelled up into the tree. "Come on!"
Yamato looked at his brother. He had fallen asleep in his arms. Yamato knew that Takeru had not been sleeping well lately. Luana had said that Takeru had been having dreams of being separated forever from the Fay. He knew that the Fay would not throw them out, but he was very worried about what would happen in their future.
"Taichi, not now. Takeru is asleep. I don't want to wake him up."
"Well, then fly down here and we'll let him sleep underneath the tree. Come on. Let's play."
"Taichi., no. I don't want to."
"Yamato…"
"Taichi, just leave him be. He's not going to come down," Sora said to her mate. "Let's just go ahead and play without him. Maybe he'll join in later."
The four Fay continued their game. A few moments later they heard Luana call for Yamato and Takeru. Yamato gathered up Takeru and flew across the field to home.
Luana watched as Yamato landed in front of her. "Takeru fell asleep during Tag Ball?" She smiled at Yamato.
Yamato shook his head. "He came to comfort me when I didn't feel like playing. He fell asleep in my lap."
"I'll go put him into bed. Kia has something that she wanted both of you to look at, but I think she'll understand." Luana gently took Takeru from his brothers arms. "Now go on and see what Kia found for you to study."
Yamato walked toward the study where he knew that Kia was usually holed up researching. Luana loved her soul mate very much, and never minded taking care of the house and the brothers that had moved in with them after their parents' death. Kia had taken care of educating the brothers.
Luana walked into Takeru's bedroom and gently put him on the bed. Takeru snuggled down into his pillow. Luana stroked the blonde's hair. "I wish there was another way. But you are our last hope."
Luana shut the door quietly behind her. She leaned against it. There wasn't much time left now. Yamato and Takeru would know the whole truth. And she simply didn't know how either one of them would take it.
