Thanks for the nice feedback from my new story Flesh and Bone.

Just putting it out there.

Pool

Mokona was going down a rather swirly slide before she cheered and hit the water below. She popped out of the water with a silly smile. "Wow! Mokona just went 'whee' on the slide~!"

In the middle of the water facility, Syaoran was cruising along the current in what looked like an inner tube. "That's great Mokona." He sounded very lazy and distant but rarely, days of relaxation would come up and he was taking full advantage of that. He then peeked under a pair of huge sunglasses and blinked. "Um, Kurogane. Are you sure you don't want to get in?"

Sitting on the floor, crossed-legged over at the side, the grumpy ninja nodded. "I'm sure kid. Can't get this damn arm wet, you know?"

Three seconds of silence passed before Syaoran spoke up again. "But…didn't Tomoyo made it water-proof?"

"…."

"Kurogane—"

"I'm fine!" The man snapped. "Just worry about yourself and the porkbun. It's five seconds away from being a wet towel."

"Am not!" Was Mokona's reply.

Shrugging, Syaoran placed the sunglasses over his eyes. "By the way, have you seen Fai? He was supposed to be with us."

"Hell if I know." Kurogane shrugged back. "And frankly, I can care less."

Right behind the ninja was a sewer duct; big enough for anyone to go through. The lid slowly opened up; revealing a pale arm sticking out. Then another limb and then another until the whole body was moving up. The creak of the lid opening and closing was unheard and ignored.

The benefit of having magic.

Slowly moving towards the ninja, a pair of hands were reaching out slowly up to him; just moving, watching, waiting. As it was just a couple feet away from the warrior, a pair of legs crouched and the hands ready. Then a whoosh was heard.

Though those hands only hit air before a yelp was heard and the sound of water splashing.

Mokona was laughing at the top of the slide while Syaoran was over on the other side sighing.

A mop of wet blonde hair popped out the water before a pout was seen. "That was mean, Kuro-puu!"

Kurogane just smirked. "You going to have to try harder then that to trick me mage."

Fai blinked before he returned the smirk. "Oh? Then what's that?"

The ninja raised an eyebrow before his eyes widened on shock. Above him was a huge amount of water over his head. He gaped. "Oh sh—"

Never again would the ninja would think he can ever outsmart the mage.
