Chapter 2- Vowed words.
"Here we are", Yuko smiled greedily.
Fay was a bit surprised by how crowned Mokona's visiophone was. Not only Yuuko was to be seen, but also her two aids and a girl with very long curled black hair and pink hearts actually flashing in her eyes. Oh, and Watanuki was there too, next to the black-haired girl, staring fiercely at everyone and particularly at a black haired guy who also add eyes of different colours.
The mage felt a little awkward. A bit jealous, too. Was the young black haired girl Kuro-chan's "precious person"? Or was it one of the aids? No, that couldn't be, they weren't human, they might not even exist in Kurogane's birth world. Or a guy? Not Watanuki obviously, but the mysterious one, Doumeki, was it?... Nah. None of the present persons seemed to even know the ninja. None of the present person seemed safe from being murdered by the ninja.
"What the hell?" Kurogane was yelling. "i'm not saying a damn word in front of a bunch of-"
"My, my", Yuuko said, "when I asked for your silence, little did I knew about your shouting skills!"
"Why are they here?" Kurogane angrily asked. "You asked for my silence, not them!"
"Why I am here again?" Fay asked too. "I'm not quite sure I want my life to end because some ninja learnt how to babble."
Not that he wasn't curious, of course, of knowing who was the man's sweetheart. Indeed. But Kurogane had told him so many times that he didn't care about his past that Fay felt a bit… guilty about hearing something the ninja didn't want him to.
"If Kurogane-san doesn't want us to hear", Sakura said (as she was there too, of course), "I don't want to hear it".
And she muffled her ears with two determinate hands. Shaolan blushed. He wasn't sure doing that would preserve his manlyhood. Well, Sakura-Hime was doing it, so… Shaolan turned pink red as he stuck a finger in each one of his ears.
"Mokona… wants to hear!" Mokona shouted happily.
And he was oh so ready to it. Eating popcorn, yeah.
Fay looked at Sakura and smiled.
"It's cover-your-ears time!" he screamed goofily while plastering dramatically his hands on his ears. "Go ahead, Kuro-woof-woof, we are ready not to hear it!"
Kuro-woof-woof looked at him with a very very strange expression.
"I can be understanding too!" Fay smiled.
Kurogane uttered something Fay nearly heard. Ear muffling wasn't enough.
"Hyuu!" he whistled. "Look how surprised looks the big puppy!"
The ninja's mouth moved; he seemed to be growing a bit annoyed as he spoke. Fay smiled dumbly at him.
"I can't hear you Kuro-puu! Are you calling me names again?"
Kurogane glared at him. Sissy puppy.
"Go on and tell Yuuko who you fancy!" he winked.
Winking wasn't a very good idea, though. Kurogane was probably going to murder him, and Fay was most probably living his last moments of life.
The ninja replied tit to tat. He didn't seem really bothered.
Sakura blushed, though. Shaolan turned handsomely red whereas Watanuki preferred a shade of pale maiden pink. Doumeki stared silently at Fay, and then took Watanuki and the black haired girl who seemed to be screaming her lungs out in excitement by the arm to pull them away from the visiokona. The aids where jumping everywhere singing something that surely repeated Kurogane's last words.
Yuuko stayed quiet as ice. Even Mokona seemed awkwardly calm.
"Oh, oh, you know, I don't really care!" Fay happily exclaimed. "As you often said, your life is not of my concern!"
Damn, those words hurt. They made Fay fully realize how much he did care. Damn nin.
"In fact", he added lightly, "I think I'll be on my way now. Just keep chit-chatting with those charming people –see you sweetie!"
Right. Fay, please, get all flirty right now- just when the big fellow is gonna confess to whoever it is! Are you disappointed or something? Don't be jealous sweetie. You're not supposed to have a crush on a sombre idiot.
And just like that, Fay realised he had.
