Will you Notice
Part Three
Fai feels strong arms wrap around his waist. He stops the memories this action brings to his mind. He doesn't move as he feels the man lay his head on his shoulder, burring his face in Fai's blond locks.
"It's not good to let just anyone get this close"
"If you where just anyone, you won't have gotten this close" Fai tells Kurogane, voice emotionless. Effortlessly Fai pulls away, slipping just out of Kurogane's reach.
"Now, now" Fai says in his chipper voice as he turns to look at Kurogane. He smiles widely and emptily at dark man.
Kurogane stares at Fai for a moment taking in his aloof demeanor so much like the first time he had laid eyes on the slim man.
Kurogane tries to grad the mage by the shoulder but once again he slips away. Fai turns away then and walks away. Kurogane follows but Fai, won't allow himself to fall into step with the Ninja.
"Damn it, mage I told you-"
"Ne, Kurogane?"
Kurogane stops speaking a the sound of his full name being said by Fai. It was the first time that slightly insane man has done so, in such a way.
"Mokona, Syaoran, and even Sakura have been looking for sings of a feather all this time," He says in a very mater-of-fact way, Kurogane walks only steps behind him.
"Tomoyo-hime says there are not feathers here." Fai continues as he walks down the hall, Kurogane notices they are not walking aimlessly but toward the garden exit.
"Sakura likesTomoyo-hime but Syaoran says we have been here for a week already."
Fai stops as they've reached the door that leads into the inner garden. Kurogane stops walking as well a good distance from Fai, deciding it would be better to give the wizard the space he has been demanding this whole time with his actions.
Kurogane sighs. He wants to say something but he can't figure out what it is, and Fai hasn't let him so much as touch him for the past week. This could be the last of their time together.
"Fai . . ."
The pale magician puts his hand on the door, and in one quick movement sidles it open roughly with one hand. Kurogane winces at the sharp noise this produces, and stopping him from saying anything.
Fai doesn't turn around. "We're leaving tomorrow, will you be coming with us Kurogane-san?"
Fai turns, his face all smiles. He leans against the door frame and turns to look out into the garden.
