Hey hey!
Quick little Tsubasa oneshot from me; simple and straight forward. Truth be told I haven't watched/read a lot of Tsubasa but I have a fairly good idea of how things go, and really rather enjoy it. Fai and Kuragane are the best, especially together ;)
This isn't a KuroFai though. Just a random little idea that popped into my head.
Enjoy!
Mother Knows Best
Kurogane really should have listened to Fai.
It really was Kurogane's own fault.
He should have listened to Fai's piece of unusually sensible advice and he hadn't. He had thought at the time, that the experience would have made him tougher, but suffice to say right now, with snot running from his nose and phlegm clogging his throat; he didn't feel quite so tough anymore.
They had arrived in a new world, one that was cold and wet and was seemingly inhabited by nothing but a very temperamental snow god. A very temperamental snow god who did not like to be disturbed, it appeared, as no sooner had the travellers arrived than a rather ferocious blizzard had set upon the landscape with a vengeful wrath. Needless to say, Kurogane took an immediate dislike to this particular world.
Coming from a snow world himself Fai recognised the danger straight away and insisted that each of the children don a thick fur coat courtesy of Mokona. He had suggested that Kurogane do like wise, but Kurogane had ignored him, saying that he could see shelter in the distance anyway and didn't want to put on something so cumbersome and ridiculous looking when he was only going to have to take it off again in a few minutes.
Fai had smiled and not pushed the matter.
Kurogane had found himself smugly pleased by the easy victory. Well, for a short time anyway, until they realised the shelter was much, much further away than they had first anticipated. By that point all the others were taking by turns to try and convince the ninja to just give in and wear one of the coats.
He had stubbornly refused.
And so it had happened that by the time they had finally reached the abandoned house Kurogane was thoroughly frozen and well on the road to developing a nice phlegmy cold. By the time the storm had settled and the sun had risen the next morning the cold had fully revealed itself in a runny eyed, block nosed, more irritable than usual Kurogane.
To his annoyance the only one sensible enough to leave him alone was Syaoran. With Sakura and Mokona taking it in turns to be overly sympathetic and the mage being, well, himself; down right irking cheerful about the whole ordeal.
"Well you know how the saying goes, Kuro-pi," Fai sang, a mischievous twinkle in his eyes as he regarded the sickly ninja.
"Har?" Kurogane managed, though his croaky and sore throat made him sound much more pitiful than he would have liked. The mage smirked, moving just out of Kurogane's reach before he spoke;
"Mother knows best."
So what did you think? Was everyone in character? Is it a realistic scenario?
Want to read more Tsubasa fics from me?
...You know...I hope this hasn't actually happened in the series otherwise I'd probably look rather silly...
Thanks for reading!
