Kurogane woke up to someone bouncing on his back.

" IT'S CHRISTMAS KURO-RIN! PRESENT TIME!" Fay exclaimed rather loudly.

' I got to stop going to sleep later in the night!' He thought to himself.

" WAKE UP!"

" No." He grumbled.

" WAKE UP!"

" Do you have to do this every morning?"

" YES! WAKE UP!"

Kurogane growled and sat up to make Fay stop bouncing on his back. He pretended to get out of bed and Fay raced out of the room like a little kid. Then once he heard him scream merry Christmas to who ever it was that was out there he fell back down and fell back asleep.

" Kuro-rin."

His fist was clutched tightly.

"Kuro-rin" The voice whispered in his ear.

" Shut up idiot!" He growled.

"Kuro-rin."

His eyes popped opened dangerously.

" WHAT!'' He snapped.

"You got to open your presents!" He smiled at him.

Kurogane mumbled stuff under his breath and got up to go into the living room with Fay right behind him pushing him faster.

The ninja sat down on the chair he usually sat in and propped his legs on the table.

Fay covered Kurogane with presents.

Kurogane growled and quickly opened his presents. If he wasn't so tired, he probably would have appreciated them more, but he just said thank you to who ever gave it to him and bunched them all up and tried to get back to his room when he was stopped, only someone was grabbing his leg.

" Let go." He said, trying to be calm.

" But, It's Christmas! You got to stop being in that room!" Fay said.

" I'm putting the gifts in my bedroom idiot!" He growled and shook Fay off him and went to his room. He put his stuff on the floor, except one.
It was the one Fay got him. It was a stuffed dog with obviously handmade sword on its paws. He guessed that Fay wanted to make the dog look like him because he also saw the eyes painted red.

Kurogane couldn't help but smile at it. Kurogane felt bad that he didn't thank anyone properly. He just gave a quick grumpy one and wanted to leave. The ninja sighed. He placed the dog on his pillow and got up to put his presents away. He was going to go out to tell Fay and everyone a proper thank-you when he looked at the clock. He thought it was 8:30am. But it said it was quarter past 6:00am. Kurogane clutched his fists tightly.

He got to the room and he saw Fay smiling brightly at everyone. He turned around and saw Kurogane.

"Hi Kuroypon" He smiled when he saw the red eyes only looking at him and looked very, angry.

" What time is it mage?" He said with a smirk.

" Uh- 15 after 6?" He said looking at the clock.

" Do you know why I'm asking you that?"

" Because you can't read a clock?" Fay suggested.

" BECAUSE YOU DECIDED TO WAKE ME UP AT 6 IN THE MORRNING!" He yelled. He ran after Fay swinging a lamp at him. Fay laughed and dodged all of his swipes.

Calleigh gave up on telling him to stop chasing after the mage. " I'm going to get ready for work." She explained to the two tired kids and Mokona.

Fay ran around the house until Kurogane slowed down. He was having a merry time, where as Kurogane wanted to kill the man. He placed the lamp down and sat in his chair. Fay just sat back down on the floor and saw there was one more gift. He read whom it was for and whom it was from.

' He got me something? '

Fay said re-reading the tag again, still not believing the ninja about last night and about getting him a present.

He opened it and found a big chocolate cat. He was speechless like a little girl getting the present she wanted.

Kurogane watched him. " Do you like it?" He asked.

He smiled at the ninja. " Thank you!" He said happily, He gathered up all of his stuff he got and went to his bedroom. Kurogane that that was the weirdest thing he ever saw some do to see chocolate. He shrugged it off and just stayed there.

" What are you two going to do today?" he asked them.

" Well, I'm going to take Mokona into the market, and I think Syaoran is going to go to the park." Sakura said sleepily.

" So I don't have to watch you guys?" He asked.

" No, I'll practice by myself, it'll give you a chance to rest today." He said.

" Good, I need rest because of that stupid Mage!" Kurogane said.

The two got up after awhile to get ready. Calleigh left a few minutes after the two got up. Mokona left the room to go to Fay's room. Now that Calleigh knew about the manjuu, he could sleep with anyone.

Kurogane went to the kitchen to get something to eat. He grabbed bread, left over turkey, and mayonnaise. He quickly made a sandwich and went back to the living room. He took one bite and something was tugging at his leg. He didn't even get to his chair and Mokona was already bugging him.

" What?" Kurogane said with a stuffed mouth.

" Well, I was wondering, do you care for Fay?"

" What kind of question is that?"

" Saw you kiss his forehead, when you brought him in the room."

Kurogane's eyes widen. ' HE SAW THAT! He's not going to let that down.'

" Oh, Well he was having a bad day and I thought it would make him feel better."

" You're lying! It's one of my talents is to know if someone is lying or not."

" Well, if you know everything, WHY DID YOU ASK ME!"

" Because I cant tell if you care for him or felt bad, but I can tell if your lying or not." He smiled at him.

" Your stupider then the mage!" He growled and pushed the pork bun out of the way and sat down.

" Where is the mage anyways?"

" Sleeping."

The ninja smiled. Finally I can wake him up and annoy him!" Kurogane said happily.

He walked silently to his room and slowly opened it. Mokona on his shoulder, Kurogane stood at the doorway. He put the manjuu on the table. He bent down in the race starting position, and raced to the bed and jumped on the bed. He was careful not to jump on him. He looked too fragile.

" WAKE UP!" He said gruffly.

This time it was Fay groaning.

" NO! YOUR GUNNA BE AWAKE IF I AM WAKE UP!"

" No." Fay groaned.

Kurogane stopped jumping on the bed and sat crossed legged beside him.

" Are you ok?" He asked.

Fay nodded, " I'm tired."

" So?"

" So, I'm sleeping." Fay said. His head faced him with his eyes watching the ninja. His red eyes were watching him intently.

The ninja closed his eyes and fell on the bed asleep.

Fay laughed lightly to see the ninja still crossed legged and fallen asleep on his bed. Fay got another blanket for him and fell asleep beside him. Mokona laughed at Kurogane.

" See Fay, He does care about you?" Mokona said jumping down off the table.

" If you say so."

Mokona smiled. "Well, Me and Sakura are going out to the market place!" Mokona exclaimed and walked out of the room.

Fay laughed slightly and fell asleep. When he woke up, he looked over to his side and Kurogane wasn't there. He stretched and made his way out of the room.

" Kuro-pon?"

Silence.

" Kuro-pon?"

More silence. Then a loud CRASH came from the kitchen, someone swearing and another bang on the wall.

Fay made his way to the kitchen and saw Kurogane in an apron throwing the pan across the room.

More swearing and a fork were thrown.

Fay laughed and went behind the ninja. He brought his face close to his ear and said, " boo." Kurogane jumped and grabbed a pan and turned around.

" Hi." Fay smiled at him.

" You weren't supposed to see this." He mumbled.

" What? You swearing at a pan and throwing it?"

" No, Never mind." He grumbled and threw the apron off.

" Were you making breakfast for us?"

" Maybe."

" But you don't know anything about cooking?"

" I know how to cook stuff that you wouldn't like. Since all you eat is sugary stuff. I still can't see what's so important about it." He said.

" It is so yummy Kuro-pon!"

He growled at then nickname. At least it wasn't about him being a dog.

" Do you want me to make it?"

" Be my guest!" He growled at the pan that was lying on the floor by the table.

Fay chuckled. " Go sit down." He shoved the ninja out of the room and grabbed a candy bar and ate it.

" Are you kidding me?" Kurogane said seeing the candy bar, "It is 10 in the morning and your eating a candy bar while making food!"

" Yeah? Is that bad?"

" You will be running around the whole place! Thank god the stupid pork bun isn't here or else it would be bad as having 10 little kittens running around the house." Kurogane pointed out.

Fay smiled. He grabbed the pan and started to make bacon, eggs, and toast.

" Is, Sakura, Syaoran, Mokona, or Anyone here?"

" Calleigh is at work, Syaoran is practicing in the park, Mokona and Sakura are at the market."

" Ok." He said and only made for the two of them.

Kurogane watched Fay the whole time. He followed everything he did and tried to memories what he did so one day he could do that.

" Kurogane, You do know it is rude to stare."

He looked up and saw that Fay was done and was handing him a plate of food.

" I wasn't staring, I was trying to figure out how you do that." Kurogane said accepting the food.

" Do you know when they will be back?"

" Well Calleigh is sometime tonight, and I don't know about the rest." Kurogane said.

" Ok." Fay smiled at him. " What are you planning on doing today?"

Kurogane shrugged.

Fay watched Kurogane eat his food. He looked down at his food and poked at it. Kurogane looked up and saw the man he loved wasn't looking well. His face was wet, it looked like his pale skin was paler then usual, and it looked like he was shivering. He looked at the man into his blue eyes.

" Are you ok?"

" Fine, why do you ask?"

" You are paler then normal."

" I just woke up."

" You're not eating."

" I ate a candy bar."

" You're shivering."

" It's cold."

" It's too hot to even eat ice-cream outside!"

" I get cold easily."

" If your cold, Why are you sweating?"

Fay didn't have an excuse for that one.

" Your sick."

" No, I just have a slight cold."

" No your sick. And you're going to bed."

" But the food-"

" I don't give a rat's ass about the food, Your going to bed."

Fay smiled. "It's alright Kuro-pon. I'm-" He couldn't finish since Kurogane Picked him up and carried him to his bedroom. Fay didn't complain he was happy to be held in his arms.

The ninja rested him on his bed and tucked him in with the blanket, he left the room and got his blankets and covered Fay in that as well. He even went into Syaoran's room and borrowed his blankets just so Fay could stay warm and get better. " You don't have to do this Kuro-pon" Fay whispered.

" Shut up idiot." Kurogane said. He bent down close to his face when he tucking him in Fay watched him, and brought the courage to kiss Kurogane. Kurogane was caught off guard. Kurogane face was bright red, as well as Fay's.

" I'm sorry." Fay said.

Kurogane looked at him. " Don't be." He explained. And he kissed Fay passionately. Fay was shocked that He didn't yell at him, or threaten to hit him, but instead they were kissing. Fay could feel the warmth of the kiss. Their tongues were playfully teasing each others. When they broke free Fay looked in his crimson eyes. " Now you will get sick Kuro-pii."

" Idiot." He said. He went and got more pillows for him and went to the kitchen and made some soup for Fay. He was smiling the whole time. He couldn't believe that they were actually kissing. He made the soup and brought it in the room and saw Fay was asleep. Kurogane smiled and placed the bowel on the bedside table. " Get better idiot." He whispered and kissed his lip gently and left the room. He was making his way to the living room when the door opened and Sakura and Mokona came back.

" WE'RE HOME!" Mokona yelled in. Kurogane got to the door and shushed them.

" Why?" Asked Sakura.

" The idiot isn't feeling well and he is asleep." Kurogane said.

Sakura smiled at him. Do you need any help with anything? With my memories coming back, I remember how to cook more, and how to help people when they are sick." She said.

" That would be very helpful." He said. Helping Fay reminded him when he helped his mother.

She smiled," Well first is he covered in blankets?"

" Yes."

"Did you make soup?"

" It is beside him right now."

" Well I don't know what else to do until he wakes up. How about we make some lunch while he sleeps." Sakura said now walking into the kitchen with Mokona and started to make some sandwiches for the three of them. Kurogane walked to Fay's room and looked in. He was still asleep. The ninja sat on the bed and pushed some of his bangs away from his face. He looked down at him. He looked so peaceful.

Sakura walked in the room with the sandwich for him. She handed it to him.

" Thank you." He replied to her.

" You really do care for him don't you?"

" I don't know. I know I miss the energetic in him and how he bugged me to point where I chased him around the house with something to hurt him." He said.

" Well, it's not like its death, it's just a cold. He will get better and he will probably be doing that in no time. When that happens, I bet that you are going to be regretting what you just said now." She said.

" Your right."

" Princess?" Syaoran was at the door.

She looked up at him.

" Can you help me?" He asked.

" With what?"

" I have a suspicion on Calleigh but I need help. And someone has to stay here with Fay so I'm needing you."

" Sure, Explain to me on the way." She agreed, her and Syaoran left. Kurogane got up to leave when something got caught on his shirt. He turned around to unhook himself when he figured out that it was Fay grabbing hold of his shirt.

" Please, Don't leave yet," He said

Kurogane smiled and sat on the bed again until Fay was asleep again.

He took the cold soup out of his room and placed it in the kitchen. Then Fay walked in the room.

" KURO-PI!" He yelled.

Kurogane didn't hear him enter, he got startled.

" WHAT!"

" I wanted to say hi." He smiled at him.

" Don't scare me like that! And weren't you sick?"

" Yeah, But remember I have magic in my blood, I don't last more than a day. Depends on what it is." He said.

" Whatever."

" KUROGANE!" Syaoran yelled at the door.

" Now what!"

" Calleigh is in trouble, as well as Jason."

" I hope that kid go to- Fine, I'll help." After he got a glaring look from Fay and Syaoran.

He got his shoes on and Fay went to change.

" I thought he was sick."

" Your not the only one" Kurogane said to Syaoran.

They ran to the forest and saw them fighting some guy that looked like Jason.
Kurogane thought he forgot his sword, when Fay threw it to him. He smiled and drew his sword out. Sakura was throwing rocks.

Kurogane stood in front of the two.

" What do you want with these too?" Kurogane asked.

Mokona hitched a ride with Fay and told Fay that he sensed the feather.

The person smiled, " Because these kids have to die." He said " And if you get in the way, you will die along with them."

Kurogane still stood in the way.

" Ok, You shall die with them. But first." He turned to Sakura. She dropped the rock she had in her hand.

Syaoran ran and stood in front of her.

" You hurt her, you'll deal with me." He said pulling out his sword to.

He smiled," your foolish." He smiled and made a magic ball and threw it at Fay and Mokona and it hit them. They went flying through the air and Fay hit a tree really hard, And Kurogane couldn't do anything about it until the man was gone.

" Now, Are you going to move aside, or am I going to have to kill you too."

" I'd like to see you kill me." He smirked at the person.

" Very well." He said making a magic ball.

" Before you try and kill me, I like to know the name of the person I always face."

" My name is Neil, and yours?"

" Your worse nightmare." He smiled at him.

The other man smirked at him.

" Well, It was nice to meet you." He threw the ball at Kurogane and a bright flash of light burst.

Fay watched in horror to see Kurogane get attacked. But he had to look away so he wouldn't blind his eyes. He couldn't believe that his lover was now being blown up. That was the longest minute he had to endure to see if Kurogane was safe, to make sure he was ok. When the light died down, he never had the chance to see if his lover made it out ok, because he passed out from the hard blow to his head, with Mokona lying beside him.


Ok, so this took me too long to write, I couldn't get it the way I wanted it.
So I here it is chapter 4. Let's hope he survives to attack the man. Tell me what you think. Please.
