Fai laid there on the lawn looking up at the azue sky wondering where in the world Syaoran was, and hopefully with Syaoran was Mokona. Kurogane and Athrun where still aruging, at least it was just arguing, Fai mused as he turned his head and looked down in the direction that the two where standing in. Athrun was gesturing and Kurogane was standing there arms crossed. Slowly he sat up and watched the two argue. He couldn't hear what was being said between them and if he dared to get any closer, no matter what he tried, even using his magic to keep extra special quiet didn't work. Kuro-puu still knew he was approaching and still yelled at him. Being cranky Kuro-puu all over again.

Fai sighed whatever they were aruging about it had apparently nothing to do with him, or maybe it did, becuase he could have sworn that Athurn just glanced at him and Kuro-tan looked like he was about to reach for the sword. Of course if Fai tought about it, Athurn's reaction to things was quiet normal after they had a chance to calm down. After all he just found out that his friend...or was that lover now? Was keeping a vampire, in his home.

Fai could honestly say he hadn't biten any of them, nor did he have an inclincation of wanting to bite any of them. The only one he wanted to sink his fangs into was Kuro-woof, and Kuro-woof was busy at the moment playing knight in shining armor. No he mused that wasn't right, Kurogane wasn't the sort to wear the white shiny armor, and come rinding in on a gallant white horse. He was the sort to be dressed all in black creeping along the shadows and killing the bad guy, then telling the princess to climb down her own darn tower. He wasn't going up there to fetch her...or him in Fai's case. He'd be the lonely prince stuck forever atop the tower waiting for his valant knight to come rescue him, only to get a Shinobi who tells him to climb down on his own because he was too busy.

Fai giggled at the idea then shook his head and leaned back on his elbows, knowing that that wasn't at all fair to Kurogane. While the thought was enteraining it wasn't the truth and he simply could not let it go as the truth. After all Kuro-tan had given him his blood plus a vampires to ensure that no matter what he'd live, then hacked off his own left arm so that he would not be sealed in Ceresu. So would Kurogane come climbing up the tower to rescue him? Oh probably undoubtedly, would Kurogane be happy about it or be his usually cranky self?

Fai smiled he'd be cranky there would be no sentimental words of warm and love, it would be alright mage, lets go. And that would be the long and short of it, of course if Fai was hungry at the time Kugoane would make him feed, then give them different memories of the tower and then they would go, but....Kurogane would be there and that would count for something right?

"Penny for your thoughts?" Kira's voice broke thru his wandering mind and Fai smiled up at him as Kira sat down.

"Wandering thoughts." Fai admited. "Knights and white horse, magical towers and trapped princes." Fai chuckled and looked over at Kira who was giving him a quiet cute owlish look. Fai laughed and looked over at Kurogane and Athrun.

"They've been aruging for about an hour more since we got back." Fai said shaking his head.

"I know." Kira said nodding his head and drawing his legs up so he could rest his arms on them. Then looked at them.

"It bothers him doesn't it?" Fai asked looking at Kira and watched those bright amythest eyes look at him startled.

"Bothers...." Kira asked.

"It bothers Athrun that I'm a Vampire." Fai clarified and then looked in there direction.

"I suppose." Kira said shrugging and looking at them as well. "Lacus and I just look at it as having a special diet."

Fai blinked and looked at Kira. "How did you figure it out?"

Kira blinked and smiled laughing. "So you realized I meant for the start then huh?" When Fai nodded he smiled. "You don't eat or drink water, the only thing you drank out of was that flask, and to be honest Fai you're very pale...then Lacus mentioned then even a Coordinator wouldn't have liquid golden eyes, even one was a bit much."

Fai blinked and looked at him then smiled brightly. "That's not all was it?"

"No." Kira said smiling. "When Lacus and I walked up to talk to you that first night, you had blood rolling down from beside your lip, that has a distinct scent." Kira looked at the two who's arugement was getting more heated and stood along with Fai. "But since you had the flask and didn't seem to have problems with blood lust or anything along those lines, we didn't think anything of it."

Fai smiled and nodded then rushed faster then Kira could move and Kira realized in that moment what a preditors speed in a human form could look like. Although it was Kurogane who the blonde latched himself onto with a distinct musical whine of....

"Kuro-wan-wan, I'm bored!" Fai wailed in mock dispair.

"Get off me mage." Kurogane growled. "And it's Kurogane!"

"Kuro-rin come play with me!" Fai said tugging on his arm and laughing.

"Idiot mage I said get off." Kurogane repeated and jerked his arm knocking the blonde backwards on his rump.

By this time Kira had gotten up to Athrun and grabbed his arm, Athrun was looking at him then at the two and staring. Kira drapped his arm around Athrun's shoulders as if to let him know it was alright.

"Ah, Big Puppy." Fai said as he got up and looked at him. "Can't we just..."

Fai's words fell short as he heard the tell tale sound of a sword being drawn from it's seath, Athrun had given him back his blade.

"Come here." Kurogane snapped and Fai went wide-eyed with a look of mock horror.

"Oh no, looks like I've gone and made Big Puppy really mad." Fai cried out laughing and throwning his arms up running away from Kurogane who was chasing after him with a look that said he was going to kill him once he got his hands on him.

Kira and Athrun exchanged a look.

"Kira..." Athrun said and Kira smiled kissed him and looked over at the two.

"It's alright, I feel like there is something about them I can trust. I know it sounds crazy but he carries a flask for when he's seperated from him." Kira said softly.

"A flask Kira?" Athrun said and Kira nodded.

"Yeah...what's more I don't think he can go after another with all of us there he never once tried to get at any of us."

"Kira." Athrun said softly.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE GOING TO EARTH? FOR WHAT POSSIBLE REASON?" Yzak yelled at the commander infront of him.

"A meeting with young Lord Kira Yamato to discuss further peace negotiations between Orab and the Plants. Lady Cagalli can not attend she has prior engagements but Prince Zala will be present as well as Lady Kline." The man said looking at him. "This was set up months ago."

"WHY WOULD I WANT TO BE AROUND THAT GUY? I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THEN BABYSIT HIM ALL THE TIME!" Yzak yelled.

Dearka looked at Yzak and shook his head then glanced at poor Syaoran who was in the room during the vid call and looking pale. He would to he supposed if he wasn't used to Yzak's temper, it seemed like his best friend was always shouting about something. If Yzak was ever calm there was something seriously wrong.

"That guy?'The commander asked.

"Athrun Zala." Yzak said in anger and watched the commander narrow his eyes. "I've known that guy forever, I don't care if he is known as a prince now, he will always be my annoying comrade and that guy I used to fight on the battle field with so don't tell me how to think of that guy."

"It doesn't really matter your going." The commander said. Then paused and smiled. "And about Li Syaoran the young man you rescued from space?"

"Yes." Yzak said looking at him warily.

"Your to take him with you. I mentioned to Lady Kline the circumstances of his rescue and she wants to meet him."

"I see." Yzak said and sighed. "We'll get him his shots."

"See that you do." The commander said and turned it off before any further words could be exchanged.

Dearka waited for the com to finish going out before he burst into hysterical laughter.

"What is so funny Dearka?" Yzak said as he glared at him.

"You do realize the entire reason he does that is because you respond like that right?" Dearka said smiling. "He wouldn't be able to goad you if you kept your calm Yzak."

"What are you talking about?" Yzak said narrowing his eyes grabbing a bag and throwing it at Dearka. "Start packing because your coming too leuitenant.....and for the record I am being calm."

Dearka caught the bag and started laughing dropping a hand on Syaoran's shoulder, the poor kid looked like a dear caught in the headlights and he needed to get him away from Yzak before his friend hurt himself or someone else. "Sure Yzak. Eta?"

"Twenty mintues. We'll hail a taxi from there." Yzak said and watched as Dearka lead the kid out and was talking to him telling him that it was fine and that Yzak was expressed himself clearly with his words. Yzak irrated at his long time lover thru a thick heavy pillow and smacked Dearka in the back of the head. He never changed.

Dearka laughing as he lead Syaoran further away after the pillow smack shook his head. "With any luck we'll find your friends and they weren't sucked out into the vaccuum of space."

"Yeah." Syaoran said in a low tone then nodded and walked into the room he had been given and picked up Mokona. "We're going back to earth to meet someone by the name of Kline."

"Do you think Kuro-puu and Fai-san are there?" Mokona asked.

"I hope so Mokona. I hope so." Syaoran said softly and closed his eyes.
