Chapter 2: Forgotten Story

Beep, beep, beep…

Fuji Syusuke suddenly shot off his bead, breathing hard as if he just had a long and intense tennis match. He slowly got up and turned off the alarm clock.

"Who is that man?" he thought aloud.

He had that dream again. It was the third time this week. It baffled him because he couldn't remember ever seeing that boy he saw in his dreams. He ran his fingers through his hair and sighed as he prepared for school.

Fuji couldn't concentrate well during morning practice and was given laps by his a frowning Tezuka. Eiji, Oishi, and Tezuka noticed his disturbed appearance and decided to talk to him. That afternoon, Fuji sat on the bench, thinking hard when someone interrupted his thoughts.

"Fujiko, nya~!" Eiji said while approaching the tensai with Tezuka and Oishi right behind him.

Fuji was so deep in thought that he didn't notice. Eiji kept calling his name until Tezuka sat beside him and Eiji shook him. Oishi was very, very worried about his friend and can't help himself from asking, "Fuji, daijobou ga? Are you sick? Are you hurt? What's bothering you? Should I accompany you to the infirmary? Why—"

"Oishi, calm down," snapped Tezuka, snapping Oishi out of his Mother Hen Mode

Fuji smiled at them. "Daijobou desu, Oishi. Sorry to worry you. I was just thinking of something."

"Do you wanna talk about it?" Tezuka suggested.

"You won't mind?" asked Fuji.

The three nodded. Fuji took a deep breath and asked them:

"Do you believe in magic?"

"Atchoo!"

A certain ninja was changing into a normal looking suit just as he glanced at his blonde comrade. "Oi, mage, did you catch a cold or something?" He asked roughly.

"Nani, nani, Kuro-pyon is concerned! Aww!"

Suddenly, Mokona popped out of nowhere in front of Kurogane, surprising him.

"Hyuu~ Kuro-pyon, hyuu~!"

"Aargh! What are you doing here, baka manju bun?"

Meanwhile, Fai launched his self at Kurogane and tried to hug him.

"Oi, baka mage! What are you thinking?! Get off me!!" he shouted as he tried to pry off the stupid mage (in his opinion) when Mokona jumped and covered his face. He lost his balance and they fell on the floor.

"Itaii! Get away from me, teme!"

Kurogane pushed the mage away who was laughing his head off. He picked his self up, grabbed Mokona and chucked him on the floor (Evil person!)

"Hyuu~!" Fai said while retrieving the unconscious Mokona.

"Oi, my name's Kurogane and not any absurd nickname of yours. And please stop talking like that stupid pork –What's that?" He pointed at the pendant on Fai's neck. It was the first time he saw it on him.

Fai was about to answer when he was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door followed by Sakura and Syaoran entering the room.

"Sumimasen Fai-san,Kurogane-san can we stay here for a bit?" Sakura said politely.

"Nande hyuu~"

"Like I said–" Kurogane's scolding stop as he heared voices outside the room.

~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O

"O-hime-sama where are you? Please come out and graze me with your beautiful smile!"

"Nokoru yamero,let's just go back and finish your paperwork" Suoh practically pulled the persistenet teen back to their 's really getting sick of Nokoru's obsession when it comes to women.

"Yea senpai, I can bring you tea and cookies" Akira suggested rather happily.

"Demo Suoh,Akira!!"Nokoru whined a Suoh dragged him back while muttering "ladies"

~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O

"oh"

"So Kuro-chan do you wanna hear the story?" kurogane twitched at the nickname and gave him a questioning glare.

"What?"

"This necklace" Fai said while pointing at the necklace.

"What about it?" Sakura and Syaoran asked at the same time with a confused look.

Fai opened it and out came a picture of 2 boys with identical reigned as the 3 stared at the picture.

"And whose that?" Kurogane said breaking the silence. He studied the younger fai grinning equally with a brown haired boy.

"Well you look better there" he commented.

This made fai's smile wider.

"umm fai-san" asked sakura timidly.

"yes sakura"

"um whose he? Your brother?"

"No but are you willing to hear out the story?"

"Yes" came 3 anwers..

Fai let out a smile, closed his eyes, and breathed in deeply before explaining.

'Well here I go'

"You see when I was a child…."

*the past*

(Celes country)

Fai just came back from the town and decided to take a rest. After napping, he changed to his usual clothes and decided to take a stroll inside the castle.

'You should smile more' He remembered a man told him earlier. 'You look better'

"yeah right" His musings stopped as he arrived infront of the castle's library.

It had been bothering him all day but he could sense a faint magical power from this place. Fai pushed the oak doors and entered quietly.

Fai remembered King Ashura's warning aout a certain part of the castle but didn't tell him where part it was. He walked, and walked, following the slight magical power. This led him to a suspicious door at the farthest corner of the room.

He opened it cautiously trying not to make any sound.

Darkness was all he could see as a sudden gust of wind filled the room. He heared a deep voice chanting in a strange language he didn't recognize.

Fai couldn't see the one chanting but he knew that voice well.

That voice he thought he'd never hear again,\

That voice…

It can't be …

That person.

As the unknown man finished chanting, A bright light appeared and a very powerful aura surrounded him.

'Why can't I move?' he asked himself because he was rooted on the spot when he heared that haunting voice.

An ancient magic circle appeared and Fai felt a strong jerk on his feet and next thing he knew he was being sucked inside the circle.

As he took a last glance on the figure he saw him gave a smile and look at him with pure loath."Sayonara Fai!"

Fai's face showed different emotions, from surprised,to shocked,to sadness, and to anger.

'It can't be!! He's supposed to be dead!! It just can't be that THAT person……'

He couldn't think anymomre as he felt himself falling in an endless blur of colors.

He waited,

Waited for something to happen,

For someone to appear,

'I'm gonna die'

He tried to scream but no sound came out.

'Help me!' he mentally begged.

Suddenly after what it seemed to be eternity, he felt himself falling faster and faster.

Everything happen fast and all he remembered was hitting a pavement and hi world going black..
