A/N: Wow, it's been a while since I've written anything, so I decided to do some challenges to get the creative juices flowing and stave off writer's block. This one is a music challenge. The challenge is to create a drabble based on a song. The catch is that the drabble must be completed in the time it takes for a song to end. Now, I modified this challenge a bit because I don't do so well on timed challenges (and I'm a slower typist than most). I gave myself one song duration to brainstorm, another duration to write the drabble and then a third play-through to edit the piece. So, without further ado, here's the first chapter.

So much pressure. That's all he felt, like a weight on his chest, dragging him down and making him to drown. That is how Fai felt every second of every day he traveled with Syaoran and the others. He could fool them into believing him to be the carefree member of their party, but he could never fool himself. He was a traitor, their future betrayer. He didn't deserve Sakura's love, Mokona's kindness, Syaoran's honesties, or Kurogane's sacrifices. He'd slay these people to get his brother back, perhaps not without a second thought, and certainly not without regret. However, he was Fei-Wong Reed's pawn through and through. But he tacked that oh-so-fake smile on his face, even though deep down his heart was frowning.
