Kurogane was sitting. In a comfy chair, no less, reading the worn magazine he always carried around with him. The contents had high re-readability, it seemed, as it always left him satisfied with what he had read.

He was also in an exceptionally good mood; he had just ingested his one weak spot; cream buns. He absolutely -adored- cream buns. It had been his little secret when he had been in Japan and now he was free to consume them whenever he felt the need arose; and so brings us to the present. Licking his lips, Kurogane leaned back in the chair and put down the magazine, letting out a content sigh. Even Mokona hadn't bothered him in several hours as Sakura was trying to subdue him into getting a bath. He was just about to get up and go see if the bathroom had been destroyed before Sakura wandered into the room, soaking wet but with a smile on her face. She turned to Kurogane whilst dripping all over the carpet.

"Have you seen Sya-" She immediately stopped and looked at Kurogane with a weird expression (at least, not an expression he had seen in his lifetime), before saying, "Err, I think he's in... in out there... here," and disappearing into the hallway.
Kurogane was puzzled to say the least, but dismissed it due to the crazy memories that girl had. Of course, it was that. What else? He was just about to pick up his magazine and continue reading it when Syaoran entered, looking flustered. He looked around, running a hand through his wild brown locks, obviously worried about something. Kurogane raised an eyebrow at the boy.

"If you're looking for the princess, she just went into the hallway."
Syaoran's face lit up immediately and he grinned, turning to face Kurogane.

"Thank you! I- er… yeah." He looked at Kurogane quizzically as if he wanted to ask something but was afraid to, his eyes darted around, then he exited through the door Sakura had left by.

Kurogane felt like screaming, what was wrong with these people! Had he grown a second head or something? Or did that stupid wizard start another rumor...? The last one had been bad enough; that Kurogane always slept with a teddy bear. For months afterwards the others, trying to get glimpses of the non-existent toy and much to his annoyance, had woken him up. Kurogane twitched violently. It was just that moment that Fai decided to amble through the room from the hallway door, gazing with interest at a book in his hand. Oh, for the love of god, Kurogane thought. This is getting sorted NOW. He got up from his seat and strode over to Fai, whom was still walking at a snails pace to the other door. Kurogane grabbed him by the shoulders and turned him towards him.

"Okay, you loopy idiot. People have been acting strange towards me ALL DAY, and the only explanation I can find turns back to -you-. Have you started another one of those childish scandals again?"

Fai looked at him with that calm gaze that unnerved Kurogane to no end, and did his playful half-grin.

"Oh, but my Kuro-chan… have you thought of looking in the mirror?"

'Kuro-chan' twitched again. The nerve of this guy!

"What!"

Fai shook his head and chucked his book (page carefully book marked) on to a chair behind him, still smiling.

"Ano sa… you have cream on your chin."

Kurogane loosened his grip on Fai's shoulders, disbelieving. Surely he had misheard? All this fuss over that! He grew even more bewildered when he suddenly found Fai a few inches from his face. What the…

"Do you want me to clean it off, Kuro-pii?" Fai whispered huskily, meeting Kurogane's eyes with his. Kurogane went to splutter, but before he could make any sort of sound or physical action, Fai leaned in and tentatively licked the offending cream off of Kurogane's chin. The ninja froze, mind nearing boiling point; he now had no remnants at all of the cream bun he was eating, but on the other hand, he had a ridiculously good-looking man hanging off his face. Fai's tongue annihilated the last of the filling and Kurogane thought he would be free (if not from Fai, then from the awkward situation), but he was badly mistaken as the lanky magician pressed his lips to his gently, escalating the problem. They stayed like that for a while, Kurogane frozen in some sort of terror and Fai, well, just… kissing him. Fai tasted slightly of the cream Kurogane had been eating earlier, but mostly tasted like… Kurogane didn't have a word for it. Magic? Oh, what the hell…

Fai broke off, grinning and poking the stunned ninja in the nose.

"You should eat those things more often."
