Fay walked out of the house, blood still dripping from his lips onto his chin and down to his neck. He slowly licked his lips, taking in the metallic taste. He groaned softly, he wanted more, but if he bit someone else, he wouldn't know the results, because all he heard was that he was supposed to drink Kurogane's blood.
He sighed, remembering the short argument. "Why does everyone worry so much?" he kicked a nearby rock.
The side of his head started to hurt, the side where his eye had been eaten. He flinched and touched his eye. "Crap," Fay murmured and ran to a nearby pond.
"Dear god," he gasped. He quickly took off his eye patch and dipped it in the water and put it back on, just to make the pain stop. He threw himself on the grass, resting on his side. He started to shiver. Then, he heard footsteps and leaves crunching.
Then, he saw a shadow walking near him. It was strangely similar to his silhouette. The figure has tousled blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. He was very thin, but very tall.
"F-Fay," (I'm gonna call our Fay Yuui now) Yuui gasped. "Yuui," Fay reached out to touch his long-lost brother. Yuui ran toward him and hugged him. Fay kissed his eye patch, while petting his hair. "I missed you, Yuui," Fay said, with tears. "Don't ever leave me again," Yuui cried into his twin's shoulder. "I won't, I pro-" Fay was cut off.
Yuui opened his eye and saw no one there. (I'm gonna call him Fay again). He sunk his head low. "A dream? Illusion? What was that?" Fay hugged his knees to his chest.
"Cold," He murmured. He stood up and walked home. It was morning, about 7:00. Had he spent that much time hugging and crying to the illusion?
When he walked in the door, he met Syaoran and Kurogane bombarding him with questions. "Please, can I have my coat?" he asked hoarsely. "Sure," Syaoran smiled and ran to get it. "Where the hell were you!?" Kurogane gripped his shoulders tightly.
"Somewhere," Fay muttered. "You had the Princess worried sick. None of us slept!" Kurogane yelled. "I got your coat, Fay-san," Syaoran draped the white coat on his Fay's shoulders. "Thank you," he said, and slowly made his way to his room.
When he slammed the door, Sakura came rushing down. "Did he come home?" she asked, trying not to sound alarmed. "Yes, but I think he's asleep," Syaoran told her. "Was he okay?" she looked down to the floor.
"He was tired and cold," Kurogane said, putting a hand on her shoulder. Sakura shrugged it off and walked towards the kitchen. "I bet he's hungry," she said.
"Fay-san, what happened?" Syaoran asked as Fay ate. "Nothing," he turned his head.
"That's good, 'cause Mokona thinks it's Fay's turn to sing!" Mokona bounced on Fay's shoulder.
Fay smiled weakly and pet Mokona. "Does it have any pounding drum beats?" Fay asked. "Nope! If there's any, it's real soft, like Mokona!" Mokona said.
He walked over and sat at the drums. Kurogane sighed and adjusted his keyboard while Syaoran and Sakura got their bass and guitar ready.
SMILE

(As time goes by, we learn how to be gentle)
omoidasou kokoro no oku no
(Even if my memories eat away slowly at my hear)
kazoekirenai smile
(I'll mask myself with a smile)
Fay sighed as he put down the microphone. 'Geez, why did I have to sing that out?' Fay was annoyed, because the song brought out his true feelings.
"Fay has such a calm voice!" Mokona jumped on Fay's shoulder.
"Thanks, but I don't really want to sing that ever again," Fay walked to his room.
He looked at the paper on which he had scribbled down lyrics. "I should have sang these," Fay said.
Nothing I won't Give (by Vic Mignogna, Fay's English VA)
Haunted by the past,
A nightmare that seems so unreal.
Wish that I could turn back time,
And spare the pain that we both feel.
And now, we've changed,
Things will never be the same.
(Things will never be the same)
We were foolish then,
But our trials served to make us strong.
The burdens are not yours alone,
We've sought the answers for so long.
But they're not real.
They cost you more than they cost me.
(My brother)
I promise you,
There is nothing I won't give,
To see this through,
Return the soul to where it lives.
I promise you,
I'd go everywhere I've been,
To find a way,
To make atonement for my sin.
And see...
See your smiling face again
When we pay the price at last,
And we are whole once more,
Life will be the way it was,
The way it was before the day,
She slipped away,
Together we'll redeem that day.
I promise you,
There is nothing I won't give,
To see this through,
Return the soul to where it lives.
I promise you,
I'd go everywhere I've been,
To find a way,
To make atonement for my sin.
And see...
See your smiling face again
(I promise)
(I promise)
(I promise)
I promise you,
There is nothing I won't give,
To see this through,
Return the soul to where it lives.
I promise you,
I'd go everywhere I've been,
To find a way,
To make atonement for my sin.
And see...
See your smiling face again

Sorry it took so long. If you know Fay's past, the beginning of the story and the two songs might make sense. His English VA meant for the song to be based on Full Metal Alchemist from Ed's point of view.
I actually like the second song better! Whoo-hoo! A double feature!
Next is Sakura!
