Daisuke walked over to Ken's house. The other boys had gone to Jyou's house. Jyou was going to go through all of his research about the Fay in Vallen to try to see if he could find out what had happened. Daisuke was going to go work with Ken on their school project and try to get Ken to help them out.

Daisuke hopped up the stairs to Ken's house and knocked on the door. Ken opened it.

"Hello, Dai."

"Hi, Ken," Daisuke chirped. "See, I did come to work on our project." Ken and Daisuke walked into Ken's bedroom. Ken sat at his desk and Daisuke sat down on the bed.

Ken shook his head. "I'm sorry about earlier. I just don't like jokes."

"Why do you think it was a joke?"

Ken sighed. "Dai, you know how I feel about Fay. They don't exist and you are always saying that they do. So then you play a joke on me."

"Ken, I swear that we didn't play a joke. I have never seen Yamato and Takeru until today."

"Takeru is….." Ken looked down, "different from other people. Where did he come from?"

"You really are stubborn. I don't know. All I do know is what they told us. They are Fay who have come to Vallen on a quest."

Ken looked at Daisuke angrily. "Stop playing this game. The Fay do not exist. They are just fairy tales made up from some long past time. Why are you continuing to play this game?"

"Then why are you so attracted to Takeru?"

Ken stood up and walked around the room "Why do you think that?"

"Because of the way you are acting. Any other day you wouldn't have given them another thought. You would be getting me to start working on our project. Instead, you are asking me questions about Takeru."

"So? He's new."

"So is Yamato. And you're not asking me questions about him."

"Yamato is Takeru's brother. If I know more about Takeru, I'll learn about him."

"I can see that you can rationalize very well."

Ken sat back down at his desk and started working on his computer. He changed the subject quickly. "OK. Where were we on this project?"

Daisuke shook his head and stood up and walked over to the desk. He sat down in an extra chair by Ken. "I think that we were working on the conclusion." Dai realized that he had pushed Ken as far as he was going to go, but Daisuke wasn't going to give up yet on his friend.

At Jyou's house, Takeru and Koushiro were going though Jyou's research on the Fay while Yamato and Jyou were looking though the books the two Fay had brought with them.

"You have a lot of information here," Jyou said looking at Yamato. Yamato was sitting very close to Jyou. He was looking over Jyou's shoulder. Jyou couldn't help but think that Yamato really didn't want to do research. Well, maybe not research with books.

Yamato made affirmative noises while stroking Jyou's hair. "We may need it to fix the bridges. At least that's what Luana and Kia said."

"Luana and Kia?"

"The Fay who raised us after our parents died."

Jyou looked up at Yamato. "You don't have any family?"

"Just Takeru."

"You must have been very lonely."

Yamato pulled Jyou close to him. "But I won't be anymore." He kissed Jyou on top of his head. "And when Takeru convinces Ken that they are soul mates, he won't be alone anymore either."

"Yamato, we really haven't been alone. We have had Luana and Kia and our friends," Takeru said from the floor where he was with Koushiro.

Koushiro looked at Takeru. "Well, as soon as Dai gets Ken to see reason, you will have your mate too."

"Reason doesn't have anything to do with falling in love," responded Takeru.

Unknown to the boys, in another part of Vallen, a man looked at his computer. "The program is almost finished. In less than a month, the Fay will be gone forever. We will no longer have to worry about their corrupting influence on our young."
