"Hyuu!! Kuro-sama!" Fai bounces into the room, and just in the time to hear what the samurai said.

Reflection

"Why should I take care of the stupid mage?!" Kurogane bellowed at his hime, who sat calmly on the cushion, drinking a cup of tea. "Because Fai-san was……Fai-san?" Tomoyo stopped when she saw Fai standing in front of the door, eyes wide and tears falling.

"Mage?" Kurogane turned and face him, whose pale hands shaking; blue eyes were looking everywhere but at him, trembling lips. "I have to go." Fai turned and ran off, not wanting to be seen by the man he loves. "MAGE!!"

Fai stands in the ice cold river, looking at his reflection on the surface of water. Always the phony face that Kurogane hated, a fake smile that he used to protected himself. However, when the feelings that he had to Kurogane changed; he tried so hard to change it, but also failed miserably. "Ha-ha! I have forgot how to laugh, but I still remember how to……"

……cry……

"Mage." The name that only him will call. "Yes? Kuro-sama?" Fai asked calmly. "You will get a cold." "I don't felt anything." As if challenging the samurai's patient, Fai walks into the deeper place. "I heard once that if your heart was cold, then you won't feel anything. Do you believe this, Kuro-sama?" Would you believe?

"No." a simple answer. Fai laugh bitterly, as he thought, the samurai believes only power, strength, and the young beautiful hime. "Look, Kuro-sama." He pointed at the silver moon on the sky. The moon shone brightly, lights that reflect on the water form a piece of finest silk. Fai's blonde hair also shone under the moon.

"What?" the samurai asked. "The same moon, when my hand had killed someone." Turned his back to face the samurai, Fai said as if he was telling someone's story. "Look at the water, it had reflected my sin, me covered with blood. Unforgivable sin, me……"

Fai was unable to finish his story, because Kurogane had pulled him out the water and into his lap. "Kuro-sama?" Fai asked. "A stupid mage that the hime asked to take care." Kurogane grumbled. "I am sorry, Kuro……" Fai was stopped by warm lips that kiss him softly on the lips.

"But I had fallen in love to the stupid mage." Tears were dripping down his cheeks when Kurogane said this. "Stupid mage." Kurogane said while hugging Fai even more tightly. The river reflected the reflection of the two souls that bound together.

Under the silver moon.
