Kurogane the Assassin

Me: Sorry if the last chapter was shorter. I wasn't really in a writing mood, but I knew I had to put up the latest chapter soon. Anyway, let's get on with the disclaimer! Kuro-demon, please do my disclaimer.

Kuro: Fine. Seresu-chan doesn't own Tsubasa or me or the idiot mage. Are you happy now?

Me: Yeeees!

Kurogane awoke to the sun shining in his eyes. "I. Hate. Mornings." he thought, turning over to find Fai cuddled up to him in a classic comfy cat position. "What the heck?" he yelled, pushing the cat-man out of his bed.

Fai fell to the floor with a thump loud enough to wake anyone in the room.

"Oww. That hurt, you know." Fai complained, rubbing his side as he got up. "Whoa, how did I get over here? Last I remember, I was in my bed. Now this? How strange."

"As if you don't know, you creepy cat. You snuck into my bed in the middle of the night to freak me out."

"NO I DIDN'T!" Fai yelled, his bipolar personality kicking in. "YOU PROBABLY GOT UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, GOT ME OUT OF MY BED, THEN PUT ME IN YOURS TO FREAK ME OUT!"

While Kurogane was staring at Fai, dumbstruck, Fai's stomach growled. And it wasn't a little "I haven't eaten in a few hours, feed me." kind of growl. It was a "I'm starving, I haven't eaten in days, FEED ME!" kind of growl.

"I'm hungry, let's eat." Fai said turning to his brother and his mood changed yet again. "YUUUUUIIIIII! Get up, it's breakfasttime!" he called excitedly.

"Bipolar freak," Kurogane muttered. Fai turned a death glare on him. "Nevermind!"

They walked down the four flights of stairs (After Yui had grudgingly woken up) and into the kitchen. Fai started cooking while Yui got started on asking Kurogane every question he could think of.

"Jeez. This guy just woke up and he's already hyper. He's a freak just like his brother." Kurogane thought as Yui asked how old he was. "Um...twenty-two." Kurogane replied.

Yui was about to ask another question when breakfast was set out in front of the three open spots where the three odd aquaintences sat.

"Enjoy." Fai said, smiling. But when Kurogane just looked at his plate with a "What the freak is this supposed to be?" face, Fai just sent another death glare to Kurogane.

"Oh, gross! It's sweet!" he thought, swollowing the mouthful of chocolate cake.

"Um...is there anything else to eat? I'm not a big fan of sweets." Kurogane explained. Fai just gave him an "EAT IT!" look and Kurogane shoved in a second bite. Yui had gobbled down his first piece and was asking for seconds. Fai got up and put another piece of the wretched food on his china plate.

But halfway to the table, Fai tripped and dropped the plate. Shards flew everywhere. some even landed within a few feet of Yui. One caught Kurogane on the arm. Blood oozed from the wound and Kurogane found Fai covering his nose.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Yui yelled when Kurogane had tried to go see what his issue was. "He can't stand the smell of blood. Not since the incedent with the servent a few years back. That servant tried to kill me. He almost succeeded. After Fai had chased him out of our kingdom, he came back to help me. I was so covered in blood that Fai could barely stand to be near me. But I was his brother and he couldn't let me die. He carried me all the way to the infirmary. He waited for days to see if I would make it. All the time, he kept my blood on him to remind himself that if I died that it was his fault as he says. " Yui took a breath to steady himself. He looked like he was about to cry. "When he found out I would live he immeadiatly washed all of my blood off and swore he would never leave my side." Then he flashed the fakest smile Kurogane had ever seen and turned to his brother who was having a mental breakdown.

"Oh, I didn't know one person could tear apart a family like this. It makes me feel bad about my job now." Kurogane said looking down at his shoes shamefully. He was thinking about all of the families he might have and did destroy by doing his job.

"And what is your job mister...um..." Yui tried.

"Kurogane. My job is to...um...well kill off bad people who my boss picks out. She tells me who they are and where they live and I go and kill them."

"Oh, well that's okay as long as they're bad people." Yui said, flashing that fake smile again.

"He's lying." Fai said struggling to look at Kurogane without smelling his blood. "And he doesn't kill bad people. He's come to kill you, Yui. Don't trust him."

Me: Uh-oh. Your secret's out Kuro-puppy!

Kuro: Shut up and remember what that one person said about too long conversations between us.

Me: Oh right. And I apologize for that last chapter. At least this one is longer.

Fai: And don't forget to click the nice review button for Seresu-chan and you might get chips!

Mokona: Yeah, review!
