Notes: I'm spending hours fixing background details for this story when they
won't even be seen in the fic itself XD Apologies if there are any mistakes.
Also, I don't mean to offend anyone with the nationalities of my characters.
This is just a work of fiction.
Guang Long – "bright dragon", Homura's reincarnation (Yay child!Homura!)
Wei –
either Zenon or Shien.
I haven't chosen yet
"-ge" or "-gege"
the Chinese equivalent for "-niisan".
Thanks to rroselavy for suggesting that I put Homura
here and helping me through a sticky spot in the plot, and to mls_addxn
for giving me the name Guang Long. Thanks to whymzycal
and purpleicicles for the beta. Any remaining mistakes are
mine.

Wei sat on the ground just inside the large tent
where he was watching Guang Long go about being
childish. Seventeen was too old to be acting like a brat but it was also too
young to be the leader of a group of terrorists.
Right now, Long was arguing with some of the more
strategic thinkers in their group while sitting in a small circle in the
cramped tent. He wanted to go and ambush the American troops while they were
transferring a nuke from one base to another. The others didn't think it was
wise. For a number of reasons that Long was ignoring.
Personally, Wei agreed with the latter though he
didn't dare voice his opinion in front of other people. Not because he was
afraid that Long would get angry at being so openly opposed by his second but
because he didn't want to embarrass Boss in front of others.
"Wei-ge! Back me
up!" Gray eyes were focused on him and though Long's
expression was neutral, they were beseeching. Wei
couldn't deny his leader anything he wanted. Even when it was something that
Long was better without.
So Wei stood up, adjusted the gun holstered at his
hip, and walked over to sit behind Long. The opposition died out pretty quickly
after that.
By the time everyone had left, the teen was smirking triumphantly. Wei sighed and resigned himself to somehow making Long's plan work. "Boss Guang…"
he began softly.
"Yes, Wei-ge? And don't
call me 'Boss Guang'; it makes me feel old."
For one moment, Wei seriously considered trying to
talk Long out of his plan. After all, there were many
other ways to keep
"I want to suggest some plans of attack for the ambush," Wei said evenly.
The reclamation of mainland
And he was also Long's guardian.
Wei personally felt that Long should have just left
the burden of leadership to him; after all, he was older and more experienced.
He would have been better able to handle their small group. But Long had been completely adamant about carrying on his
father's fight.
It was that same fire in Long that made Wei want to
protect him. Something so pure as that was supposed to
be cared for, not to be endangered in any way. There were times when Wei wanted to grab the teen and lock him in a room, safe
from any harm that might befall him.
"Wei-ge!"
Wei snapped out of his reverie, his dark eyes going
wide when he saw Long's face mere inches from his.
He'd probably zoned out on auto-pilot again and had gone on talking about plans
while Long tried to get his attention.
"Sorry, Boss," he said.
"Sometimes I'm not sure if you hear anything I say," Long replied,
frowning. "It's as if I'm not worth paying attention to."
"On the contrary, Boss. I'm always thinking of you."

Long glanced at Wei from
beneath his bangs, saw the scowl on the older man's face, and seriously
considered saying that he was sorry. Well…to be honest, he wasn't. They'd been
successful; the nuke was hiding somewhere safe, and the only casualty on their
side was a wound on Long's arm.
It was obvious that Wei was furious. He finished
cleaning and bandaging Long's wound, tying the ends
of the bandage together a little too tightly. Long winced but didn't say
anything, knowing that he would probably just aggravate his second.
"Boss—"
"'Long'."
"Long," Wei said, frown still on his
face. "You didn't follow the plan."
"I follow my instincts." Long looked at his arm, testing to see if he
could move it without feeling any pain. "Following the plan to the letter
in the middle of that fight would have led to worse injuries." He winced
at the pull on the wound and quickly lowered his arm.
He knew he was in bigger trouble when Wei's dark eyes
narrowed. Crap. He'd seen the wince.
They spent the next hour holed up in Long's tent, Wei berating him and explaining—"For the nth time,
Long!"—how important it was that they follow the plan.
Because the plan was there for a reason.
"Because it was made to be followed," Long quoted listlessly as his
second paused in his speech. It was a line that he'd often heard from Wei and it was beginning to grate on the teen's nerves. The
plan is a rule and rules are meant to be broken, he thought to himself.
Parroting Wei's old sermons deprived him of his
gaming consoles for a week.
So that he wouldn't feel bad, Long consoled himself with the idea of the
nuclear bomb resting somewhere in the
