I know its been a while since i've posted anything, but that's only because writer's block, soooooooo I decided to post up these little theme stories that i've been writing. I got the idea from Meriko-chan on Deviantart 100TC List. So the themes for these are from her. Either way I hope you enjoy!

Upon arriving to their next world, Syaoryn, Sakura, and Mokona went to go looking for Sakura's feather, leaving Fai and Kurogane to go look for a place to stay.

They had landed in a modern town where there were horse-back carriages and small cottages. It wasn't really an exciting town.

"Hey, Kuro-tan, look", Fai said, pointing at a small cottage with a sign in the front that read: Fortune telling, what will your future hold? "Let's go see how our future together will be."

Kurogane eyed the sign and house and had a sinking feeling. "We don't have time. We have to go and look for shelter. Night's about to fall."

The ninja turned to leave, but found himself being dragged by the mage to the building. "C'mon. It will be fun."

Fai and Kurogane both stood at the entrance as they continued their argument.

"You're late. I was beginning to wonder if you two were going to show up at all." A slim woman with short red hair, covered with a pink bandana and sparkling yellow eyes, opened the door. "You must be Fai and Kurogane."

Kurogane growled while crossing his arms. Fai smiled brightly and bowed. "Yes, we are. Sorry for my friend's attitude, but we were wondering if you could read our future together."

"As lovers, I'm sure." The woman opened the door wider and invited them in.

"We are not 'lovers'", Kurogane protested as a soft blush came to his cheeks. Luckily, his red helmet could help hide it.

Both of them were led inside and into a room. There was a red table in the middle of the room with three matching chairs. There was a bookshelf located in the far left of the room with different books on reading the future, telling fortunes, and witchcraft. Jars with exotic different things also occupied the space in the bookshelf. A huge black cauldron was next to it with a small fire under it. On the other side was a huge window that illuminated the small room.

"Yuko-san has told me otherwise. Now sit", she says, sitting in one of the chairs.

Fai shrugs and takes a seat, leaving Kurogane to follow behind as he muttered about how he was going to murder the witch.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid we don't know your name yet."

The woman pulls out a bowl with different white cards in it. "Well then, I guess we'll have to fix that. My name's Kasumi Karen. Now, both of you, pick a card." Karen holds the bowl out to the men. "On each card are pictures of mystical and normal animals. No peeking."

The mage and ninja shove their hands in at the same time and clutch each other's hands.

Kurogane quickly draws back from feeling a bit of electricity form the wizard's hand. A giggle escapes the fortune teller's mouth.

Both men have both their cards with their eyes closed. Karen puts the bowl away and commands both of them to look at their cards.

Both of them look to their cards, to each other, to Karen, to each other again, and back down to their cards.

"So…what'd you get", Karen asks, not able to control her excitement anymore.

"I got a red dragon." Fai holds up his card.

"And I got a blue phoenix." Kurogane holds up his.

"It seems your love is stronger for each other than I thought", Karen says, taking a glance at the window, "Oh, look at the time! I better start closing down shop. I'm really glad I was able to meet one of Yuko's favorite couples. Please, if you're ever around in the area again, come visit and bring along your friends as well." She starts to motion Fai and Kurogane toward the door.

"Hold on. What does a dragon and phoenix-?"

Karen pushes them out of the door. "I'm sorry, but you must be leaving now and if I'm not mistaken, you still need to find a place to stay. Good bye." The door shuts.

"Wasn't that fun", Fai asks, turning to his companion.

"It doesn't make sense! She didn't explain anything." Kurogane starts to walk away with Fai by his side.

"Do you think what she said is really true? That our love is strong for each other?"

Kurogane continued to walk forward.

Fai smiled to himself.

Of course their love was strong. Fai knew it and so did Kurogane, even though he didn't want to admit it. For the only thing echoing in their minds on the walk back was how much they loved each other.
