Valentines Day can either be a wonderful day for us or hell on Earth. For some of us it's about spreading the love, getting chocolates and having a date for a dance. For others it's a waste of time because they show love everyday or never show emotion.

Love – noun

A profoundly tender, passionate affection for a person

A feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection.

Song – noun

Poetical composition

A musical piece adapted for singing

We normally link cute cherubs and bright red hearts to this day as well as the heart shaped chocolates and cards from admirers. Some of us aren't thrilled when we get gifts from people we have no attraction to.

"I'm not going." Kurogane was grumpy, again.

"You have to go Kurogane-san how will I get through the night with Sakura?" Syaoran was practically begging the elder student to join him at the dance.

"You'll be fine. She gave you that chocolate didn't she?" The dark haired male was desperately trying to find his way out of going to the dance.

"Yes…but look how much you got!" The brunet pointed to a various stack of chocolate which Kurogane was probably never going to eat.

"So? Ask the blond to go with you he's the expert." The older male couldn't help but cringe as he referred to the annoying idiot as an expert of something.

"He said he wasn't going if you weren't going…" The brunet shuffled his feet slightly as he kept his gaze fixed to the carpet.

"Damn it…" Kurogane cursed he should have known there was a reason Syaoran wanted him to go along.

The door opened to the apartment letting the noise and giggles from the hallways fill the room. Watanuki and Doumeki carried in a few boxes, holding free hands. They were soon followed by the solo girl of the dorm and her tag along friend.

Kurogane really hated when the dark haired girl visited, she always wanted him to smile and wear something brighter.

"Ah Sakura-chan you'll look fine right Fai-san?" Tomoyo glanced over her shoulder at what looked like a mountain of chocolate boxes with feet.

"Fai-san are you sure you can carry all of those?" Sakura asked in her cute voice, she obviously was trying to ask for his safety but not end up carrying anything.

Kurogane shook his head slightly as he watched the stack lean slightly to the side threatening to fall over and hit the various exam papers on the table. Syaoran didn't look like he was going to help as he was practically drooling over Sakura.

Regretfully he got out of his comfy spot on the sofa, which was quickly snatched up by the two fighting lovebirds, and took a few boxes from the blond.

"Oh…hello." Fai smiled up slightly he was obviously still trying to cover the fact that he hadn't slept the whole night through in the past few nights.

"Go to sleep you'll need it for tonight…" Kurogane grumbled as he placed the pile in the corner.

"Huh?" It took a few moments for the blond to register exactly what his roommate had just said.

"You're going?"

"I know what you promised the kid so I have no choice." At that moment the raven haired student felt trapped almost as if Fai had planned all of this to happen exactly as it had.

"Aww so Kuro-pin really does have a heart somewhere. I'm not tired anyway." Fai smirked as he placed the remaining boxes on the ground and practically skipped to the kitchen.

"What have I done…?" Kurogane mumbled as he sat down on a spot on the floor due to all the seats being full.

"You're being nice to someone, someone who really needs it." Tomoyo pointed out as she took a handful of grapes from the fruit bowl.

Kurogane had never once stepped foot inside one of the dances in the hall. He'd always managed to 'miss' the event. The sound from outside was doing his head in which was doubled as they stepped into the main school building.

Syaoran, Doumeki and Kurogane had agreed to go to the event together in one sense of the word. Watanuki was already there and sitting in one of the classrooms.

"Hey. You coming?" Doumeki had appeared behind the teen in record time.

"Yeah…Tomoyo wanted me to meet her here first for something." Watanuki pointed at the laptop which was set up at the front of the room.

"She wanted to go over that list I found."

Kurogane was close to lunging out and strangling the smaller teen for letting information out to someone, let alone Tomoyo who would have told…

"Ahhh Kurogane. I take it you're still doing things the hard way. Nice shirt Syaoran." Yuuko appeared from the window on the other side of the room followed by her shadow, Clow.

"Tomoyo wanted me to bring these." She opened the bag that had been hidden behind her to release two rabbit looking things.

"Puuuu!" They both chirped and glanced at the people in the room. "You should be going now! Bye Bye!" The two pointed with their stubby little paws at the students, which missed out Watanuki.

"The Hell?! I'm not listening to you little fuzz balls!" The grumpy male decided to actually lunge at the offending creatures only to be stopped by what looked like a duck puppet.

"Leave them alone you big bully!" Yuuko grabbed the nearby ruler and attempted to hit the offending male on the head, she missed by a few inches.

"Come on, Kurogane-san." Syaoran tugged at the elder male's arm with Doumeki pushing his back slightly.

"Well bring up the page and we'll see what we can do." Clow said as he glanced over the laptop which was blowing out hot air quite happily.

The girls, and Fai, were obviously going for the fashionably late rule as they eventually turned up half an hour after the boys had shown up.

Tomoyo dart off quickly and sent Watanuki as her replacement, the teen looked quite shocked and rather stunned as he was pulled into the room and the dance floor.

Sakura and Syaoran were standing atleast a metre apart and not making any form of eye contact, or speaking at all. Neither were Fai and Kurogane but they had various people talking to them.

The music seemed to get slightly louder, making headaches ten times worse. The constant chatter from various groups was annoying enough without the terribly bad music to join it.

Fai had somehow got away from his group of fans and pushed the two younger teens together, smiling innocently. He must have said something to Sakura as she looked rather shocked and then nodded slowly.

"What did you say to her?" The grumpy student had to yell over the noise as he wasn't prepared to move from his seat after losing one already that day.

Fai sat down next to the sulking teen and smiled slightly before looking down at his glass which he'd picked up from the nearby drink table.

The blond leaned over slightly, next to the taller male's ear so he could be heard.

"I told her someone was coming tonight." Fai sat back in his original position and looked up at the various red lights that were twirling across the ceiling.

"You can dance with him you know." Kurogane made a motion to Ashura who was enjoying himself with his normal group of friends.

Fai shook his head slightly and pointed to someone sitting near the gossip group. The person kept glancing across at what was probably Ashura.

"I told you we were never like that. Besides I don't want to dance with him…" Fai proved he could yell over the noise despite the fact that he never raised his voice.

He leant over to Kurogane again; moving closer if that was possible.

"I want to dance with you…"

Kurogane was sure someone had put something alcoholic in the drinks where he heard that. He could feel the blond next to him hesitate slightly as though for once in his life he didn't know what to do.

He was sure that if the annoying female was watching she would be giggling like a crazy fan along with her shadow and those demented rabbits.

"…Of course I can understand if you don't want to…" The blond sounded slightly hurt and upset as he spoke.

There was a tiny voice in the back of Kurogane's head telling him things wouldn't end well but it was drowned out by the terrible music and probably Fai being so close to him.

He grabbed the blond's wrist and pulled him up sighing in defeat.

"Fine…" Kurogane saw how the smaller male's face lit up and dragged him over to where Watanuki and Doumeki were looking rather awkward.

Kurogane had to admit it was rather strange dancing with Fai, even if he was rather female looking. People were talking in what might have been hushed tones if the music wasn't booming out of the speakers at volume 20.

The blond was happily chatting to Watanuki behind him, the two were laughing quietly at a private joke that had possibly been made at the expense of their dancing partners.

"Kuro-poi…you seem distracted…" Fai commented it wasn't until then that the teen noticed how close the blond was to his face and neck.

"Tomoyo and that creepy duo are up to something…it's with that list…" The older teen was glad to spot Sakura and Syaoran, he was afraid they'd run off to go drink the teacher's alcohol.

Fai looked like he was going to reply but was cut off by the speakers crackling and the volume dropping.

Everyone seemed to stop at exactly the same time and glance up at the speakers as there was a muffled noise from it.

"We would like to wish you all a Happy Valentines day and hope you sleep well." With that the music had resumed.

Fai blinked slightly up at Kurogane who exchanged a strange look with Doumeki and Watanuki.

He hadn't been to one of the dances but he was sure that never happened before.

A few people nearby started coughing as the smoke machines sprayed more and more smoke into the enclosed room.

"So much for the dance." Watanuki muttered as he placed his glasses cloth over his mouth and nose.

"You know something about this don't you." Kurogane caught hold of Fai's arm as he stepped away slightly.

"I told you about that person. You knew about the list. I guess he wasn't everyone back…" Fai muttered, swaying slightly.

"Someone is trying to kidnap you?" The muffled comment came from Watanuki who was exchanging a worried glance at the sleeping Doumeki on the floor.

"Us. Please Kurogane leave me alone and you won't be hurt. I don't want you hurt because…of…me…" Fai yawned and slumped against the taller male.

There were several thuds as other students; including Watanuki slumped to the floor asleep.

"I won't let them…" Kurogane yawned as he too fell to the ground asleep.

There was a faint sound, like someone singing a tragic song before all went dark.
