Really short but since no one is reading this anyway...
Once the women had patched up Syaoran, (despite protests that he's fine) and Yasha, (who simply closed his eyes and ignored everyone), They all headed down into the valley to get up camp and recuperate. Syaoran's wound wasn't that bad, it simply looked a lot worse because of the blood. Yasha's, although they didn't bleed as much, ad a little tendon damage that Soma somehow managed to bandage. Once they were settled, they started dinner and ate mor or less in silence, with Sakura and Ryuu each keeping an eye on Syaoran. After they had eaten, most fell into a fitful sleep but Fai and Yasha were still awake, keeping an eye on everyone else.
"You must have cared deeply about your brother," Fai broke the silence.
"Rasetsu, even though he was younger, was supposed to become the next Lord Yasha, because he was the legitimate son of our father and his queen. I was the son of his concubine. Because I was born first, he looked up to me, even though he was actually higher than me. I loved my younger brother dearly. His mother passed away when he was young and my mother loved him as a second son. The day my mother died, our father named his heir. I insisted it be Rasetsu. However, later, he told me he was leaving the tribe. He said that the only thing a person needed to become Lord Yasha was the ability to fight well and that I was the better fighter. He said that he knew I'd never take the throne so he left." He sighed, not used to speaking so much, and looked Fai. "Not long ago, we went back to the Yasha village, to give the dead a proper funeral. Rasetsu reappeared, hating me for choosing Ashura's life over those of our tribes'. We fought, Ashura got between us. He apologized to Rasetsu, demanded that he take his life rather than mine, because he believed it was all his fault. He was wrong. It was never Ashura's fault, it was mine. Rasetsu accepted Asura. He told us to leave and he told me to continue protecting what was precious to me. That was the last time I saw him."
Fai could tell it was the abbreviated version, but he accepted it It was hard to loose someone you cared about. He knew he probably shouldn't ask, but he couldn't help but feel it was relevant. "And the woman that general said he killed-?"
"Shara, my brother's wife. She gave us shelter when we fled the Yasha lands. Ashura became very attached to her. Aguni and her army tracked us there and we chased the army away, but nor before Aguni got a signal in the sky, giving away our location. Shara told us to leave quickly. She stayed behind and for that she was killed. I know Ashura was hurt deeply by her death."
Both men looked to see the child, tears running down his face even as he slept curled next to Sakura. His eyes softened as he looked at them. "He is very attached to your princess. I don't know if he could handle it if she died."
Fai glanced around at his group. Kurogane was sleeping leaning against a tree near Sakura. Syaoran also wasn't far away from her. Mokona was comfortably sleeping between Syaoran's and Ryuu's backs. "He wouldn't be the only one."
