A/N: mhmm…this is hard for me, a sad story. Anyway, I was inspired by Never Again by TealEyed-Quatre and the song Hello by Evanescence.

Kuroganes POV
We were all sitting around a fire, eating some food the mage made; he makes really good food too. Not that I would ever say that out loud.
"How is it? Is it good? I wasn't sure what to use, so I used these berries I found. Some leaves too."
"Oh, it's great Fai-san," Sakura answered
"Yes it is, very good." Syaoran agreed.
"Fai, can I have some more please?" The white bun asked, Fai laughed and put more on the white buns plate. That thing was always hungry and never stopped eating. I had a feeling the mage was gonna pester me next; asking if I thought it was good.
As if on cue, that idiot sat next to me and asked,
"Well, Kuro-puu, what do you think?"
"Leave me alone, I'm trying to eat."
"Kuro-rin! It must be good if you're eating it!" He squealed happily, god his voice was high; I decided to agree so he'd go away.
"Yea sure, it's great. Now get me some more." I shoved my plate at him and gave me one of those annoying fake smiles.
"Of course, Kuro-sama, I will be right back."

Fai's POV
Hehe, it is so much fun to annoy Kuro-pii. As I stood up to grab him some more food, I noticed the princess starting to nod off. As I handed the scowling ninja his food, I smiled and Syaoran,
"Syaoran, maybe you and the princess should go to sleep soon. It looks to be pretty late." He looked at the princess and helped her up so that he could take her to where her bed would be,
"Yes, Fai, that sounds like a good idea. Come along Princess, lets go to bed." The princess tried to look awake and looked at Syaoran,
"No, I'm not…tired…I'm ok! I can…*yawn* stay awake," I laughed and walked over to her, putting her head in my hands,
"Princess, you should go to bed now, so that we can look for your feather tomorrow, ok?" I smiled at her and she nodded at me and let Syaoran lead her away.
I looked over to Kuro-rin to see if he was done with his food. I noticed that with all the black he was wearing, you could barely see him. I smiled and asked,
"Are you done yet? I'd like to put away the food and put out the fire. I'm kinda tired too. Aren't you tired, Kuro-puu?" He just looked at me with his usual scowl.
"Yea, sure, here." He handed me his empty bowl, I smiled and put the bowl with the others.
I decided to sit down and think for a couple minutes before I put out the fire. Now should I tell the sullen ninja that I love him? What would he say? He would most likely be disgusted with me and say no. Then things would be really bad.
I think I WILL tell him, even if he says no.
I clenched my fists and took a deep breath, completely focused on my task.

Kuroganes POV
I look at Fai, his fists are clenched and he's breathing deeply. I wonder, what is he thinking about? Maybe it's about his past…He's very secretive about that, god I hate that. I wish he would open up to me. Hmph. Fine. Whatever. I don't care. No, that's a lie, I DO care. But, he would probably say no and that would destroy my ego and my pride.
"Oi. Oi!" I call out to him. He jumps like a scared child caught doing something he's not supposed to be doing.
"Y-yes, K-kuro-puu?" He asked me, giving me another fake smile, god I wanted to smack that smile right off his face.
"You look like concentrating really hard. Is there anything you want to tell me?" I asked him, staring hard at him.
"O-oh, uhm yes, yes I do. It's uhm very important." He told me. I might have been mistaken, but I thought I say a hint of pink on his cheeks.
"Uhm, ok…go on" I encouraged. I gave him a small smirk.
"Uhm, uh, ok. Kuro-sama. I lo-"

Fai's POV
"Kuro-rin smells! You need a shower!" Mokona yelled over me. For once I was the one who wanted to throttle Mokona. I swear, It took all my control NOT to kill her. I just sat there, clenching my fist while Kuro-tan squeezed Mokonas cheeks.
"WHO SMELLS? ME? I SHOW YOU SOMEONE WHO SMELLS!" He yelled, I tried not to laugh,
"Bad, Kuro-puu, you are gonna wake the children up." I chastised him,
"Yea, Kuro-puu is a bad man, bad, bad, bad, erk" Mokona chastised until Kuro-tin pulled on him again. Kuro-ran stood up.
"Fine, I will go have a shower!" He yelled as quietly as he could, He walked over to me and put his hand on my hands, causing me to turn a bit pink,
"Fai, tell me what you want after ok?" I gasped at the usage of my name and just nodded, hoping my slight blush wasn't too noticeable. Another shock was that…well I think he smiled at me…though I might be mistaken.

Kurogane POV
I sighed as I walked towards the outdoor shower we discovered earlier. Why there was an outdoor shower where there were people, he would never know.
I heard shuffling in the bushes and drew my sword,
"Who's there?" I called out.
"Oh, Sal, this shower is taken, lets go."
"NO! We've been walking for like 5 hours! Get him!" I sighed and whacked one guy with the hilt of my sword as he came running out. He saw another person come out with their hands up,
"I surrender! Please let me go!" I looked at the frightened person and waved my hands for him to go. He mumbled words of thanks and took off.
~*~
Kurogane was set upon 4 more times before he even got in the shower.
A/n I didn't feel like describing the rest, they were other people looking for a shower.

Fai POV
God, Kuro-sama was taking SO LONG, honestly why do guys take really long showers? He doesn't even have that much hair. Maybe, he's cold, naw, that's silly. Maybe he needs help washing his back, I should go check, but he'd probably get mad at me, but I need a shower too…
After sitting thinking for awhile, I stood up, put my hair in a ponytail, put on my hooded coat that I got from the last world we were in and walked in the direction Kuro-rin went.
It was a little cold, nothing like Celes though. The forest wasn't dense either, not really. It only took me about 10 minutes or something like that to get there. I decided to be funny and sneak up on him; maybe I would be able to trick him, not likely with his crazy ninja skills.
I walked up to the screen and gave a laugh, it sounded nothing like me either. I know, I will try to get him to say he likes me and I know just how to do it.
"Kurogane! I shall attack your traveling companions!" God, I thought to myself, I sound dumb.
"I shall wake up the magician and make him watch as I kill the children, making him think it is his fault! Mwahahaha!" I think it sounds really stupid, I don't think he'd believe me though. I look at the figure behind the shower curtain, he's stopped moving.
"Hah, Kuro-sama, it's o-GACK!" I felt pain in my chest, I look down
It's a sword,
Kuros sword.
He pulls out the sword.
I crumple to the ground, when I try to talk, only blood comes out.
It…hurts…so…much…
The curtain opens, I see Kurogane, he looks down…did he really not know who I was?
I turn my head up to him, cough up more blood and whisper,
"Kuro, I love-" I can't finish, too much blood.
I try to reach my arm up to him, it doesn't work, I can only move my hand a little.
He kneels down to me just as it all…
goes…
black…

A/n: So what'd ya think?
