Fai: she has kidnapped us.
I have not! I just took you while you were asleep...
Kurogane: Yeah sure that's not kidnapping.
Shut up and you aren't kids anyway! Sakura and Syaoran are kids.
Fai: Speaking of them where did they go anyway?
Hm... I don't know...
Where Will You Go
Evanescene
Requested by Ila-Hime
You're too important for anyone
You play the role of all you long to be
But I, I know who you really are
You're the one who cries when you're alone
Kurogane stood in the doorway of the mage's bedroom and watched Fai tossed and turn in his sleep.
"No really, Kuro-rin, I'm fine." Fai said a cheap fake smile plastered on his face.
Kurogane glared at him, "You sure I mean we're going back to your world next."
"No, I'll be fine." Fai said turning away and running up to his room.
Kurogane secretly followed him without Fai knowing. He sat outside the barely opened door and listened to the mage's sobs and 'No… No… I don't want to… It's the last place I want to be. He'll be awake by now.' Kurogane had no idea who he was talking about but he could guess that he was going to find out in the next world.
Kurogane sighed and walked in the room. He looked at the mage's sleeping face and saw tear trails glisten in the moonlight.
'Stupid mage cried himself to sleep.' Kurogane thought to himself.
But where will you go
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
You can't escape
Kurogane sat down on the bed next to him. Fai looked scared and yet beautiful without that stupid fake smile pasted on his face.
Kurogane gently wiped the tear trails from the mage's face and Fai blinked his eyes open.
"Kurogane…?" Fai asked still half asleep.
Kurogane froze he had woken Fai up… wait did the mage just call him 'Kurogane'?
Fai waited for a minute then laid his head back down on the pillow and fell back asleep; or so Kurogane thought.
You think that I can't see right through your eyes
Scared to death to face reality
No one seems to hear your hidden cries
You're left to face yourself alone
Kurogane could see right through the mask that Fai wore all of the time. He could tell that he was scared to death to face reality. He could often hear Fai cry at night when he thought everyone was asleep.
Fai thought he was alone no one was ever going to help him face his fears on his own.
But where will you go (where will you go)
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
The truth
I realize you're afraid (I realize)
But you can't abandon everyone
You can't escape
You don't want to escape
Fai had no where to go when he needed to go when he needed save. The truth was the only thing he needed saving from was himself.
"I know you're afraid, mage, but you can't abandon us." Kurogane said to the "sleeping" mage.
I'm so sick of speaking words that no one understands
Is it clear enough that you can't live your whole life all alone?
I can hear you in a whisper
But you can't even hear me screaming
"I'm sick of saying things that you pretend not to understand. You can't live your whole life alone. Why is it that I can hear your silent crying at night and you can't even hear me when I scream this to you?" Kurogane said placing his hand over Fai's smaller one.
Where will you go (where will you go)
With no one left to save you from yourself
You can't escape
The truth
I realize you're afraid (I realize)
But you can't reject the whole world
You can't escape
You won't escape
You can't escape
You don't want to escape
Kurogane saw a tear run down the mage's cheek.
"Fa – Mage?" He stopped himself from calling the mage by his name.
"Caught me, haha." Fai said although the laugh had been anything but cheerful.
"You've been up this whole time?" Kurogane asked.
"…yeah…" Fai said.
"Oh…" Kurogane said.
'Well this is awkward…' Kurogane thought.
"You're right you know." Fai said breaking the silence.
"Hm?" Kurogane asked not really understanding completely.
"I am afraid of going back to my home world." Fai said, "But…"
"You're afraid that when we go there we'll all get hurt because of you." Kurogane said finishing his sentence for him.
Fai nodded. Kurogane could tell he was on the brink of tears. The ninja pulled the mage towards him as soon as he saw the first tear slid out of the corner of his eye. Fai balled his fists in Kurogane's shirt and leaned his head against the taller man's chest.
"You can't abandon us, mage. You're afraid of yourself and you think there's no one there to help you. You can't escape the truth and I realize that you're afraid. You can't reject the world, mage. I'll help you through it." Kurogane said he felt incredibly awkward and felt something else too but couldn't quite find a word for it.
"Thank you, Kuro." Fai said calming down and giving him a genuine smile.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Kurogane: YOU DID WHAT TO THEM!?
I didn't do anything! We were standing near a cliff and I just happened to be next to them when they fell off.
Fai: Her logic wins!
Kurogane: Is everyone against me here?!
Fai and Me: Yes.
Fai: Don't be mad Kuro-puppy.
Kurogane: *chases Fai with sword*
Don't break anything!
Fai: What about monkona?
Hm... I have no clue... maybe being invisable is one of his 108(?) secret techniques...
Kurogane: Review so I can get the heck outta here!
Hey... that's my line...
I still take requests!
