Disclaimer : I don't own MFB.

Answer to itsbrittneybitch (guest) : Thanks for your review. It motivates me to post this chapter (even if I take a long time to). I try to stick up to the serie, and what is said (or implied) in it. There aren't enough informations about Tsubasa for me to write a drabble about him.
As for Kyouya... the only problems he gets he deserves them. I mean... I love him, he's my favorite character, but the Wolf Canyon thing was his own fault (and this gives me an idea for a drabble, but not for this series, and certainly just in French).

Thank you again.

Family

Today again, he was hungry and had nowhere to go.

Sitting in an dark alleyway, between two shaky piles of objects, Yuu was trying to think about what he would do next. Where he would go. Every cities were the same. They didn't give him anything. They only looked him get hungry and sleep outside. They didn't care about what could happen to him.

There wasn't even an interesting blader to fight. It wouldn't had given him food, or a home, but, at least, he could have thought about something else for a time.

Yuu shivered. He clapsed his arms around himself, knowing it would be useless. He shook his head. He shouldn't think like this. Even if he was cold, even if he was hungry, he wasn't alone. For this reason, he wasn't allowed to let himself go and to give up. He wasn't allowed to become downhearted either. He had to believe ! Better days would come. The sun would come to shine in their lives. Meanwhile...

Yuu took Libra out. His cupping hands were lying on his folded knees. His bey nestled in perfectly. Yuu smiled to it.

"Where do you want to go, Libra ?"

His bey didn't answer, of course. Not with words anyway. But Yuu was feeling its warm presence. His smile grew. He hugged Libra against his heart. As long as it was by his side, he was able to bear everything. It wasn't only a playmate and a friend. It was his family. It was everything he had, and everything he needed. As long as they were together, everything would be fine. Yuu was sure of it. They had gotten over many things together until now, and it didn't went so wrong. After all, Yuu was still alive, wasn't he ? They could carry on. Together, they could overcome everything.

And, one day, everything would work out. Yuu didn't yet know how, but it would happen.

It had to.

No defeatism, Yuu scolded himself. Libra is with you so everything is fine.

He forced himself to unclench his jaw. Crying wouldn't change anything. It never did. He would still be hungry, still have nowhere to go and still have no human family. All he would success, by dropping tears, would be to sadden Libra.

Libra who was by his side from the very beginning. Libra who had always helped him against adversity.

Libra who had been his family, when no one else wanted him.

Yuu straightened himself. He looked at Libra. He felt its beating of life when so many people thought that beys were mere assembly of metal and plastic.

That's so sad.

Yuu wasn't able to figure his life without Libra. Or, rather, he didn't want to. No warm presence by his side. No one to support him or with whom he could share his dreams and his thougths.

They should feel so alone...

He even prefered his actual life with Libra than another without it.

"Where can we go ?"

Every cities were alike. It became clearer everytime Yuu stopped in one. No one had specific advantages. No one gave him interesting possibilities.

So, we can try something else !

The world was wide. Many locations without cities existed. It would certainly be better. Yuu was able to cope because Libra was with him. Nobody could beat them. But it would be nice to try something else, to live differently.

"A place like a forest ?"

He wasn't convinced by this idea. It didn't fit Libra and him.

Yuu stretched his arm. The metallic parts of Libra caught the nightlight. He made it spin between his fingers.

What was Libra's characteristics ? It was his family, of course. A stamina bey, able of so many wonders. Creating ultra-sonic rays. Turning stones into sand...

Sand...

"That's it !" Yuu exclaimed, smiling.

He pulled Libra back against him.

"We will try to live in a desert. Maybe it'll suit us better."

In the worst case, they would still be together.

"Tomorrow. We leave tomorrow."

They would try another way to live. Maybe it would allow him to be less hungry.

He wouldn't come back into a city without a good reason.

We leave tomorrow.

END

I write this because of what Yuu said when he officially fight Enzo.

I don't think I'll write other drabbles. When I began this series, I thought writing about a tier of MFB characters... but, I think I'd rather focus on my other in-progress fics.
