Kurogane could feel the vein in his temple throbbing. He had known it was a bad idea from the start, but the mage had insisted. He had pushed and prodded and poked until Kurogane agreed. He was never going to agree again. The kids were NEVER allowed to drink alcohol again.

In the café behind him the princess "Nyah"-ed and played with her cat-ear napkins. She batted at the lacey tablecloths just like a kitten. It was almost cute.

On the other side of the room was the kid. He was currently carrying on a serious and meaningful conversation with a house plant. Kurogane's eyebrow twitched.

Then there was the mage himself. He had been playing kitty-cat with Sakura but he seemed to have disappeared. Kurogane wasn't sure whether the idiot was actually drunk or just pretending so he could get away with more.

A crash from inside sent Kurogane scrambling to rescue the house plant which Syaoran was now attempting to duel with his sheathed Hien. He then decided enough was enough, wrestling the children to bed before returning to his own sake.

Ah, there was the idiot. He lay sprawled out on the café steps with one hand wrapped around the neck of aforementioned bottle of sake. He seemed to be asleep. Kurogane scowled and pried his bottle from the mage's hand, drinking from it deeply. That was precisely when he found himself with a lapful of drunken blond. Fai made himself comfortable, resting his head on Kurogane's left shoulder before going back to sleep.

For a few minutes, the ninja could only stare in stunned silence. He then pushed the mage away, blushing furiously.

"What the Hell do you think you're doing?!" Fai just smiled sleepily and put his head make on Kurogane's shoulder.

"Kuro-wanko makes a warm pillow."
