Summary: I thought of an idea about: What if someone had wished for King Ashura's Insanity? was removed? Was thinking of doing something similar when I thought of it.
Chapter Three: Explaining
Fai drew in a deep breath, coughing slightly as he asked, "How did you wake up? The spell is still on you." His eyes survey me as I considered how to explain what had happened not very long ago. I was still surprised he hadn't felt my awakening.
Just as I was about to answer, a white rabbit looking thing came floating downstairs, saying, "Yuuko knows."
Fai seemed confused as he asked the creature, "What do you mean by Yuuko knows, Mokona?"
Landing on Fai's lap, Mokona explains, "Yuuko wants to speak to Fai."
Fai blinked, a tired sigh escaping as he nods. I sat and watched as the witch came into focus, her smirking face irritating me slightly. Fai simply smiled at her as he asked, "How are you, Yuuko?"
Her r
ed eyes took in Fai's pale face and slightly flushed cheeks and states, "You look sick, so I won't keep you awake too long. I see you've run into your King." There was a slight smile to her voice that Fai picked up on.
"Yes, I am assuming you know what happened." Fai states, sitting up as she nods.
"Wait a minute." Kurogane growls, causing all of us to turn and look at him.
"What, Kurgs?" Fai smiles faintly as the man glowers in his direction.
"I thought you were trying to avoid him." He glares in my direction before turning back to Fai, "So why aren't you trying to run off or something?"
Fai smiled and cheerfully explained, "I don't sense the darkness that surrounded him when I left so I'm assuming there's more to it then just him waking up despite my sleep spell is still trying to work."
"That's correct, Fai. Someone paid a price to have King Ashura's curse removed. Because of this, he came to find you." Yuuko explains while I watch Fai puzzle over the explanation before nodding.
'Will it come back?" The question surprised Yuuko who merely smiled.
"This is where you come in, Fai." I did not at all like the sound of that and glared at the witch. Fai shouldn't have to deal with anything else than he's already done. I didn't speak up though, Fai had already questioned her on what he had to do with my curse being freed.
Her smile widens and I could sense Fai's unease as he stands up, wincing when his bones cracked at the movement. He looked even more tired since we first started and I felt the urge to cut the witch off and make sure he got more sleep. But already she was speaking again.
"The curse was placed on the King's bloodline by an ancestor whose family left Celes long before it united." Yuuko began and I smiled slightly when Fai nodded with a note of impatience entering his voice as he spoke, "Yes, but what does that have to do with me?"
"Only a descendant can hold off the curse. You are the only descendant left from the line that cursed the King's ancestors. Therefore, you are needed to keep the curse from returning." Yuuko states, smirking as Fai just stared, surprised.
I finally stood up, guiding Fai back to the couch. He really shouldn't be standing up for so long with the illness he had. So I turned to the witch and asked, "So, what does Fai have to do?"
She holds up a rather long vial, "He must give a vial of his blood every other day in order to remove the curse. The blood is required because the curse resides in your blood."
Fai winced at that and sighed, "Well it can't be helped."
I winced. Again, why Fai? He didn't need this but before I can say a word to him, he accepts the price and holds the vial in his hands, surveying it critically.
"You won't need to give any until your illness is gone." She explains before leaving just as the door opens revealing Syaoran and Sakura.
"We're back!" Sakura smiles, holding onto a bag that held fruits of different kinds.
Fai smiles brightly at the two, "Welcome back, Princess."
I grip Fai's arm, "You need sleep." It wasn't a question. Fai eyed me and nodded. He smiles to the others and starts towards the stairs as I stay close behind, not trusting his balance at the moment. He didn't argue which surprised me as we headed towards the top floor. I wondered how else he had changed.
