When Fai found a bloody towel in Kurogane's room and confronted him with it, Kurogane said it was from an injury, and not from a nosebleed he had suddenly gotten from seeing Fai wiggle his butt. That, of course, led to Kurogane being put on a couch and given tea, just like Fai had done earlier when his leg was injured. So now Kurogane was stuck at home in a bad temper.

"Damn wizard," he muttered to himself. "This is all his fault!"

Fai had to take Kurogane's place and go out to hunt Oni with Syaoran. Kurogane hoped the poor boy was still alive. That magic-using fool wasn't much of a fighter. The kid was all right, but if Fai came home all beaten up, then he was going to get an earful from Kurogane. Fai shouldn't get his skinny ass all beaten up trying to earn money. He could shake it at clubs to earn money, though…

Gah! What the HELL am I thinking?

Fortunately, the door opened, and Fai and Syaoran came in to save Kurogane from his thoughts.

"Kuro-pin!" Fai called, holding something behind his back. "Guess what we brought home!"

Kurogane tried to see what was behind the wizard's wiry back.

"What?" he asked, leaning one way and then the other.

"It's…a surprise!" Fai laughed, holding out a paper bag. Kurogane snatched it from him and ripped it open. "I picked it out myself."

Kurogane stared at the familiar talisman he had gotten for Fai so long ago.

"Brings back memories, doesn't it?" Fai asked, sitting down on the couch and getting a faraway look in his eyes. "Ah yes…good times. You still haven't given me a bath, you know."

"What are you planning?" Kurogane asked suspiciously, inching away from Fai.

"Nothing! Just a little something to cheer you up!"

"…I'm returning it. This piece of junk caused enough problems last time."

Kurogane opened the door and saw a black dog on the front step. He glowered over his shoulder at Fai, who had come up behind him.

"I suppose the dog was supposed to leap on me while I was holding the talisman so that we would switch bodies, and you could fulfill all your dirty little fantasies while I could only bite you," Kurogane said. "Well. It's not going to happen. I'm not touching that dog."

Fai merely smiled at Kurogane.

Kurogane frowned and stepped back.

"What are you-"

Kurogane toppled backwards over the dog, and as the two touched, a blinding flash occurred. When Fai could see again, Kurogane had dropped the talisman.

"Yes!" Fai cried. "There's so much I have planned for you!"

"You get away from my body!" Dog-Kuro growled, baring his teeth. "I'll bite your leg off!"

"Here we go upstairs!" Fai said in a sing-song voice as Kuro-dog padded up the stairs after him. "Bath time, woof woof! It's a good thing doggies like baths more than kitties, or I would be in trouble!"

Dog-Kuro scrambled up the stairs after them, cursing all the way.

"Get your paws off my body!" Dog-Kuro snarled, biting Fai on the leg.

"Hey!" Fai cried, nearly falling. "Get off! Kuro-woof needs a bath!"

Fai suddenly got very quiet.

"Wait…" he said slowly. "Maybe…I can give you both a bath!"

Kuro-dog barked happily and panted, while Dog-Kuro voiced his protest in an angry howl.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO—OOO—OOOOOO!"

"You first, puppy," Fai said, picking up Dog-Kuro.

"You put me down RIGHT NOW!" Dog-Kuro snarled. "I'm not taking a bath! At least not one where YOU'RE involved!"

"Calm down, Big Puppy!" Fai said, heading into his room. "I'm not giving you a bath. You can sleep with me if you'd like until we find the cure. You can sleep with me after that too. I wouldn't mind."

"NO!" Dog-Kuro snarled. "Puppies hate kitties! I'll kill you!"

Kuro-dog padded in and stared at the two of them, its tongue hanging out of its mouth.

"Jeez, I look like an idiot!" Dog-Kuro said angrily.

"You do all the time, Kuro-woofy. Don't worry about it."

"WHAT WAS THAT?"

"Here, boy!" Fai called, clapping his hands. Kuro-dog trotted over by him and sat down. Fai scratched Kuro-dog's hair.

"It feels kinda greasy…do you put gel in there, Kuro-min?"

"Stop touching my hair! I'll bite you!"

"La dee da…hey, look! He jumped up on me!"

"NOOO! Bad former body! Get off that bastard!"

"Oooooh! I'll bet HE'LL sleep with me!"

"Oh no he WON'T!"

"Syaoran!" Dog-Kuro said, trotting into his room. "Do you have the recipe for the cure you used to change Fai back to normal when he was a cat?"

Syaoran stared at the Dog-Kuro for a moment, and then nodded.

"It's right here," he said, holding up a vial. "It works for anyone who has switched bodies with an animal."

"Good," Dog-Kuro said. "Use it on me quickly, before that wizard does anything strange with my body!"

Dog-Kuro closed his eyes as Syaoran uncorked the vial and tipped it over his head.

Kurogane woke up on a bed back in his normal body.

"Hah!" he said. "Let's see that wizard try anything funny now!"

He lay there smiling smugly for a few moments, and then became aware of a pressure around his waist.

"What the-"

He looked down and saw Fai's arms wrapped around him. The wizard himself was fast asleep with his head on Kurogane's chest.

Kurogane immediately leapt to his feet, but Fai was still clinging to him. After several attempts to pry the skinny man off himself, Kurogane resorted to drastic measures.

"Oh my God! Yaoi!"

Fai snapped awake immediately.

"Where?"

"Nowhere, you pervert. I needed you off me," Kurogane said crossly.

"Well…if there's no yaoi around…let's make some ourselves!"

"NO! Sweet Jesus! Someone help me!" Kurogane screamed as Fai dragged him to the bed.

Well look who finally updated! Moi! Sorry if these last two chapters aren't as good as the first three. Five chapters is ALL I'm writing for this. Oh yes, and I PROMISE to answer all my reviewers if they have any questions. I WILL update my other stories, I swear it. And I'm writing a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory fanfic. It might suck, though, so be warned. I love Johnny Depp. Gene Wilder's cool too.

Comments. I love my commentors. I love them good.
