" Annoucement: player number 2805 has died. "
" Kuro-pon died too, eh..." Fai smiled as he stared at the announcement board.

It was a rather chilly night in the country of Ōto. The moon shone brightly onto ' The Cat's Eye Cafe'. Through it's western frosted framed window, a tall slim man can be seen leaning on the bar counter.
Playing with his silky blonde hair, he hummed a rather melancholic tune.
The peace didn't last long.
The cafe door suddenly swung open, the bell sounded violently in response. ' Big dog' stomped right in, dumping his sword, Sōhi, in a corner.
The demon hunter then slumped himself onto the sofa and heaved a loud sigh. It was obvious he lost a battle.
Too obvious.
Chuckling from behind the bar counter, Fai provoked him.
" Try putting yourself in my shoes, you damned wizard. I put my life on the line trying to keep you guys safe by working OT and there y-"
" Fondant. " the blonde interrupted " Yuuko sent too many~"
Tired, Kurogane decided to let his nagging rest and chose to cool his head with a mid-night snack.
An irresistible aroma of fragrant cocoa soon filled the room as Fai heated up the dessert. A gentle hint of bergamot was introduced as tea was being poured from the pot's belly into a shallow porcelain cup, stained with olive green gradient.
Served on a translucent blue glass plate, a rich cake, topped with whipped cream and cocoa powder. Melted creamy dark chocolate oozed out slowly from the cracks of the crumbling cake. Complimenting with it, a thick black tea with a beautiful aroma combination of bergamot with it's faint citrus vapour dispersing in the surrounding air.
(description to make you hungry 8DDD /bricked)
" This tastes different from what I ate earlier on... It's not the sorceress' errand boy's cooking. "
" Ah... The body's memory eh... " the blonde grinned, " as expected from Kuro-sama~
" So you made these? "
" What do you think? I made them to suit your taste~ " Fai sat beside him.
No reply except him taking another bite. It was obvious he liked the chocolate fondant.
Too obvious.
Fai rested his head onto the demon hunter's broad shoulders, smiling. The hunter just continued eating the chocolate fondant. He knew that's one of the few things he could do to heal his broken partner's heart. It recurred to him again. He would protect Fai.
There, he realized the reason why he could tell Watanuki's and Fai's cooking apart.
The high schooler's soufflé was rich. Rich in sweetness of his memories he experienced in the sorceress' wish shop. It was the warmth. The warmth to melt the darkness of the heart away.
Fai's was different. He could feel the pain, the loneliness, cold, solemnness, blood. However, breaking through it, a thin beam of memories. Memories of the ones the lone wizard truly treasure for eternity.
In deep thought, Kurogane unconsciously gripped the blonde's hand. Speechless on to explain nor give an excuse, he just kept holding onto the thin, scarred hand. The demon hunter was worried. Again it was obvious.
Too obvious.

" F...Fai... Is... Dead... " Mokona choked as she sobbed uncontrollably " h..he was... k..killed while trying to protect us a..and not exposing you and... Syaoran's identity..."
" That idiot! " Kurogane shouted as he clenched his bloodied fist tightly.
He did not know how to react to that. He did not understand, how could such a powerful wizard just get killed by Seiishiro and his A-class demon. He punched the wall of the badly charred entrance of the cafe.
The pain in his heart was too great.
He looked up into the sky, the sky which was disintegrating into data.
He believed the wizard is still out there.

" Announcement : player number 2805 has died. "
Vision blurry, Kurogane woke up to find himself in an egg like capsule.
He scanned his surroundings.
" Welcome to fairy park! Edonis' number one entertainment and amusement park! "
Shortly after the system announcement, a figure came running down the platform, towards the egg like capsule Kurogane was in.
It was Fai.
The samurai banged on the surface of the transparent egg capsule, demanding to know what happened.
Gesturing that he could not hear what Kurogane was saying as the capsule was sound proof, he finally settled down.
After being released from the capsule, Kurogane immediately hugged the wizard. Tightly.
" H-hey... I'm alive, Kuro-rin... " the blonde smiled " sorry to make you worry... "
" You bastard. " Kissing Fai's pale lips " Don't die on me ever again. "
.
.
.
" I promise not to... Since you saw and promised to heal my broken heart after all... "
Oh lord. Kissing in public and in front of syaoran and sakura =
If you are unsure or confused of why Faye is still alive, and Kuro pon is in a capsule thingum...
Here is the reason. The whole cafe thing, is actually a game. They were sent straight in the game went the arrived in the world of Edonis courtesy of Mokona.
So its like they are in a virtual reality game. ^_^
Baka Kurogane , no?
