Picture Perfect
Chapitre Seven
"Not a very good listener, is he?" Fai remarks.
Just like that it begins. A rough hand flies out in front of him, a casual sign of protection. It's what he's been looking for, and for a moment his secretive, adult smile changes into an expression of surprise as he watches the other man with the spiky black hair step forward, arrogance in his every movement. If he could paint it, he would; Kurogane's strength, that is. It's what he had desired in himself for so long, that picture perfect strength so carefree and unbreakable. Kurogane's kind of like that, picture perfect in every way.
"I've been pretty bored here," the red eyed warrior calls out to Syaoran's tubby aggressor. "I'll take you on!"
Fai shares a amused expression with Mokona. "Kurogane's been looking forward to this! He wasn't bored at all!" The small creature pipes up from Fai's shoulder.
Fai nods in agreement, "The Hanshin Republic is just his style, huh?"
