Pairings - Fai and Kerogane

Spoilers- none

Kerogane was in a foul mood. Very foul. He was done with the brats, the white pork bun and he was very very done with that obnoxious magician. Ever since they got to this wretched world all that mage had done was cling to him. With a Hyuu hyuu this and a hyuu hyuu that. It was enough to make a man go insane. He had left the home they were staying in without telling anyone. Perhaps he could find a place to have a nice drink.

Yes liquor would make him feel better. He smiled at the thought of the cool amber liquid. Maybe there would even be a bar fight. That would be the best.

"Kero-woof-woof!"

Kerogan froze. The mage had figured out that he had left already. Damn him. Before the ninja could process the situation any further the magician had hopped onto his back wrapping his arms around Kurogane's neck.

"Where are you going?" asked the mage.

"Get off of me," growled the ninja.

Fai only tightened his grip on the man and asked again this time in a singing it, "Where are you going?"

"Away from you," snarled Kerogane doing his best to tear Fai off of him.

"Oh," the magician was quite but only for a moment. "Can I come?"

"NO!" Kurogane felt a vain in his forehead popping out. "What part of to get away from you do you not understand?"

""But I promise to be good!" Fai whined.

The warrior was in no mood for this. All he wanted to do was find a bar get good and plastered and perhaps start a fight or too. Was that too much to ask?

Catching the mage off guard he reached behind him and grabbed the wizard by the scruff of his neck ad threw him onto his back.

Fai let out a small whimper of pain. "That hurt Kuro-pi," The wizard looked up at him from his place on the pavement.

"Now you listen here. And you listen good." Kurogane grabbed Fai by his golden locks just to make sure he'd pay attention. "Lets make one thing clear. I hate you. All you've done since we got here is cling to me and chatter my damn ears off. Enough is enough. I can't stand the sight of you anymore. Don't talk to me anymore don't even look at me anymore as far as I'm concerned you don't even exist any more," Kurogane couldn't stop his rant there was no need to go this far but as long as he and Fai were having a nice talk like this he might as well put all his cards on the table and let this mage know how he felt about things. "Also just so were clear on one other thing. I think you should know that you're the most worthless member on this little adventure team. All you do is cause me trouble. You don't fight you don't use your magic you are worthless. So you better shape up or I'll have the kids wash their hands of you too. Maybe you should just disappear," He let go of Fai and walked away.

He sighed as he left Fai behind. It felt good to say those things. Of course he hadn't really meant most of them. He didn't really hate the mage or think he was worthless. He didn't mind the wizards company most of the time. Some days it was really nice to have the wizard around. Sometimes he was a good listener. And he took good care of the princess when he and the brat were out. But he had to say those things so that he could have a moment of peace.

Kurogane frowned to himself. Perhaps when he got back he would go apologize to Fai. That idiotic mage probably wouldn't even remember that talk. Everything was fine.

Fai rubbed his head at the spot where Kurogane had grabbed him. His back hurt his head hurt.

And Kurogane had said that he hated him.

Fai closed his eyes tightly.

That shadow.

"I guess I won't be bothering you anymore Kero-chi. I hope me not being there anymore makes you happy." Smiling weakly Fai turned to look behind him. "Looks like you found me,"

To be continued…

Oh snap. Not bad for a first fic huh? Well I think its good but what I think doesn't matter. Its what you think. I know spelling and grammar will make most of you gauge your eyes out. So feel free to flame that. But after that let me know how you feel about the story. I have every thing already planed out. Except for the very very end. I have like one paragraph left and I have no idea what to put. Sighs. Well enough of this I'll post the next chapter AQAP (as quick as possible)
