Every warrior knows the stories of those attacks that are so painful, the brain can't register the wound.

So when the oni under Seishiro's control attacked and he didn't feel any pain whatsoever, Fai knew he was in trouble.

He'd experienced such a blow once, in Celes. This time, though, it was... different.

This time he wanted to stay. He needed to stay. He wanted to protect Sakura-chan, to help Syaoran-kun...

And Kurogane... There were things he still wanted--needed--to tell the swordsman.

As Fai's world turned to black, the only thought he had was that he'd never have the chance.
