Start:

Fai had no idea what to do, Tomoyo had said that Kurogane would live but that had been hours ago. He knew the warrior would be awake soon but waiting for him was getting to him. He hated this. He hadn’t ever wanted to get close to anyone ever because he knew it would all turn to ruin. He buried his face in sleeves of the robes that Tomoyo had given him, trying desperately not to cry but instead images of his brother, Ashura, and Kurogane’s arm flying past his face were overwhelming him even more.

He sat, alone and curled into a ball, for 10 minutes before he heard the soft footsteps of Tomoyo. She slowly came before him and sat noiselessly, looking at him with soft knowing eyes. Fai looked up at her slowly and shook his head slightly, clearing his throat, “Hello Princess…”

Tomoyo placed a hand on his shoulder, “He’ll be fine. Kurogane won’t be daunted because of  something like this; he’ll grow to overcome it.” Fai looked away from her, frowning.

“H-his arm is gone though, how is he supposed to fight without an arm?” He looked back up at her, begging.

She sighed softly but had a small smile grace her lips, “The same way you can fight with one eye, it’ll take some time to learn how but he’ll do it because he knows who he has to protect.” She stood, still smiling softly, “I’m sure you’ll figure out what to do in time just don’t give up on him as he didn’t for you.”  She slowly started to walk away. He watched her go and realized what he needed to do.

 

Fai walked out into the small courtyard, looking for his small white friend. He spotted her, speaking with Yuuko softly. He walked towards her quickly and stopped behind her, “Mokona may I speak with Yuuko?” Mokona looked up at him, small tears still at the edges of her eyes. She sniffed softly and nodded. Fai looked up at Yuuko, who was frowning slightly.

“Yuuko-san I would like to make a wish,” Mokona looked at him surprised but he continued, “I would like to get Kuro-rin a new arm.”
