Bloodcurdling Anecdote

Intro: -Talking Heads, 'Burning Down the House'- That's right! Wait 'til the party's over! Hold on!- Ack, I can't help but sing to this song. The worst part it that I don't know half the lyrics… (sweat drop)

A/N: I realized I haven't written anything entirely stupid, so here's my first. I'm going to have one more stupid fic in this strand, but I assure you that just the idea of it will make you laugh. I couldn't believe there wasn't anything like it all of the fandom… (evil laugh)

Four Figures and a manjuu bun trudged their way through the scenery. Tall forest trees and giant shrubs filled the area. It was some times before the party decided to sit down to rest.

"This forest is never going to end!" Syaoran sighed.

"I'm just as bummed as you are," his blonde-haired companion assured.

"Bummed?" Syaoran asked, taken aback, ""Never! There trees at least took decades of years to grow! Think of the history! I'm so excited, I don't think I can hold it!"

The wizard exhaled in defeat, "Of course…"

"It's not like you got anything we haven't seen. The missy'll stay right here even if you told her to look," Kurogane pointed out, proud of his conclusions, "so don't hold back to take a whiz."

"It's a figure of speech," the boy contorted with a twitch.

"That's funny," Fai started, plotting his tactic for attack, "if that's the case, why doesn't Kuro-Chu let me scrub his back at night?

"What the-? You're an idiot! I don't need a reason!" the ninja stuttered in his defense. If he knew any better, Fai was going in for the kill.

"You're embarrassed," the blonde retorted. Syaoran tried to stop the two fighting men, but nothing worked. Giggling, Fai stole Kurogane's pride, "it's not my fault if I'm bigger than you. It's just nature, right?"

The ninja's eyes popped. A sensitive nerve was touched. Sword unsheathed, Kurogane had the look of murder in his eyes. Sakura would have asked what Fai meant by that, but Mokona interrupted.

"Scary stories! We should all tell scary stories! No, we have to tell scary stories!" it cheered, bouncing between the two men.

"Why the Hell should we?" the tallest inquired. The whole idea sounded stupid to him. Not that it mattered much, though. Fai was going to participate and if that was the case, he just had to tell a scarier story than the mage.

-O-

"Alright. Why doesn't Sakura-Chan go first?" Fai suggested.

Mokona agreed, "Sounds great!"

"Okay!" Sakura pumped herself up, taking a deep breath, "here goes nothing:

"There once was a dark, dark world. And in that dark, dark world there was a dark, dark continent. And in that dark, dark continent there was a dark, dark country. And in that dark, dark country there was a dark, dark city. And in that dark, dark city, there was a dark, dark forest. And in that dark, dark forest there was a dark, dark trail. And that dark, dark trail led to a dark, dark house. And in that dark, dark house there was a dark, dark hall. And that dark, dark hall led to a dark, dark room. And in that dark, dark room there was a dark, dark closet. And in that dark, dark closet there was a dark, dark treasure chest. And in that dark, dark treasure chest there was…

NOTHING!"

Syaoran clapped out of politeness, but both Kurogane and Mokona agreed that Sakura's story was bad. Fai – being the melodramatic person he was – found it prime time to add in some flavored spice.

"Oh my Gosh!" the mage screamed, jumping in terror with wide eyes, "That was so scary!"

Of course, the target was Kurogane, so the mage clamped onto the other, snuggling up.

"GET OFF OF ME, YOU DAMN WIZARD!" the raven-haired man roared; trying to throw the other off to no avail, "THAT STORY WASN'T EVEN-"

"It wasn't even what…?" Sakura inquired with a meek, wandering voice.

"It wasn't all that bad!" Syaoran intervened, cutting off all doubt.

"Is that true?" Sakura asked again. Her eyes welled up.

"…Yeah," the tallest choked out against his will.

"'Yes,' as in it was good," the princess asked yet again, "or, 'yes,' as in it wasn't good?"

"'Yes,' as in it was good, alright?" the ninja yelled, irritated.

"So you're not mad at Fai-San?" the girl questioned with hope.

"I'm…I'm not…" Crimson eyes wandered about, falling atop the blonde's cerulean eyes. His face twisted. He wanted to assure himself that he was angry, but there were just no traces of such emotions when that airy breath floated so near. "I'm not mad, okay? And no more questions!"

"Kuro-Chin could never be mad at me!" Fai wailed with an annoying happiness in his tone.

"Okay, Syaoran can go next!" Mokona cheered, moving onto the right subject again.

Syaoran prepped himself, recalling a myth his father once told him: "It starts out on a dark, stormy night when-"

Kurogane yawned. Yawning means one is bored or so Sakura thought. She didn't wasn't Syaoran to feel bad. After all, if something like happened to her, Syaoran would have returned the favor…right?

"Eaaaaaaggggghhhhh-!" she screamed.

Syaoran perked up. "Sakura-Hime! What's wrong?"

"Your story was great, Syaoran! It was so terrifying!" she cheered, hoping to make the boy feel better.

"Um…" Syaoran trailed off with a sweat drop. Fai laughed, tugging on Kurogane in agreement. The ninja sighed and Mokona gave an encore. "So… I'll start again. It was a dark, stormy-"

"Eaaaaaggggggghhhhhh-!"

Syaoran sighed.

"Okay!" the manjuu cheered, "it's Mokona's turn!"

"But-!" Syaoran gave up. He was cut off. There was just no hope for him. He cried to himself, 'Sakura-Hime doesn't even remember me…Nobody loves me, damn it!'

"Okay, so Yuko, Larg, and I one day-"

"Larg…?" fai asked.

"Larg is the black Mokona!" the white thing explained.

Fai nodded. If that was the case, Fai was a, 'white thing,' and Kuro-Rin a, 'black thing.' It must be some sort of symbolism…

"-so we were all drinking-"

Kurogane graoned: predictable.

"-and we all tipped our glasses in cheers when we poured the drinks."

"What's so scary about that?" Kurogane asked.

"Mokona's getting to that," Mokona assured, "When we poured our drinks, it turned out…that the liquid…wasn't sake!"

Kurogane's eyes widened, his fingers fumbling. "Th-That's…the scariest story I've ever heard!"

Fai nodded, cuddling into Kurogane's chest in the most unconventional manner.

"Well then, I'm going to bed!" Sakura announced. Syaoran blushed. That was his way of saying, 'I'm going to watch over her.'

"Mokona will sleep, too!" the manjuu yelled. Mokona, 'kissed,' Fai good-night before following the girl to bed.

Fai sighed. It was a lost but beautiful love. "He really cares for her, huh, Kuro-Nana?"

"…Yeah," the ninja agreed. For once, Kurogane was allowing Fai to stay in the position he was. Although the cuddling in front of the kids was a completely different story, Fai had already snuggled in this far already…

Fai giggled. "is there anyone you care for that deeply?"

"I thought we were telling scary stories," Kurogane stated, pushing the mage off from his later statement.

"The kids are gone. I think we should tell dirty stories now," the blonde whispered, keeping the sound down. There was an unusually dirty-tease tone in his voice.

With a grunt, crimson eyes furrowed and a smirk formed. "Are you sure? I still see a three-year-old in my presence."

"Kuro-Chan thinks of me as a child…?" Fai voice drifted with a tone of disappointment. "Then I guess that makes Kuro-Chin a pedophile."

"That is…uh…" the ninja stuttered. If there was something you did not do in front of Fai, it was stutter. Bad things happened when you stuttered in front of Fai.

"I'm a consenting adult, too, you know," the blonde protested. He made a pouting face, biting the inside of his cheeks.

"Hardly," Kurogane grunted.

Left open, Fai kissed the ninja. It was a short-lived, light peck, but that didn't really bother the big puppy. It was the 'idea,' of Fai kissing him that bothered the semi-tanned man.

"See? I have just as much – if not more – experience as you," Fai's voice triumphed, his eyes gleaming brightly.

"Oh yeah…?" still a little red, the taller tried to concentrate on anything but the mage. "Weren't we telling dirty stories?"

"I got bored of that, and right now, Kuro-Pin has my whole-hearted attention," the blonde whispered, cooing into the other's ear.

"I-you-we need to go to bed," Kurogane stuttered, His head was spinning due to how close Fai was.

There was a pause. Fai backed off, surprised. "Together? I mean, yeah, I guess I am you only option, but that's kind of forward, Kuro-Mai!"

Kurogane flushed up. "I-I didn't mean it like that!"

Fai sighed. He looked somewhat relieved. "Okay, Kuro-Pon. I'm turning in for the night. You'll see Fai-Chan in the morning."

"Hang on," Kurogane demanded. Fai blinked. As he bent down to the ninja's level, the said man blushed.

Leaning in, Kurogane clumsily pecked Fai's cheek. The flaxen flustered up in shock. He began to shuffle. "Ah! Oh…Kuro-Mei?"

"Th-That…was our-er-your good-night kiss," Kurogane stated with embarrassment. "The manjuu gave you one, right?"

Fai's eyes didn't blink or twitch. They settled into comfortable warmth. His mouth tugged upwards. The mage giggled fondly.

"What?" Kurogane growled, "If you don't like it then-"

"I never said that, now, did I?" Fai cooed. He held a straight face for a moment but his right eyebrow kept rising upwards. He laughed, "Ah! Kuro-Chu is so cute when he blushes like that!"

The ninja blushed further. Fai slithered close to the ninja. He placed his palms on Kurogane's cheeks, bringing his lips to the chapped pair.

It was passionate and deep. Fai – put bluntly – was a phenomenal kisser. It was sudden and unexpected when Fai pulled his tongue out. He leaned his forehead on Kurogane's laughing. That wasn't your good-night kiss, by the way."

Kurogane snorted. "So that was just because?"

"Something like that," Fai airily sighed. He kissed Kurogane's forehead lightly and pulled away. He chuckled again as he strolled down to his designated sleeping post. "That was your good-night kiss. 'Night, Kuro-Fan."

Kurogane instantly spat on the ground. Once he was sure Fai was gone, he sighed.

"It's not like you're my only option. I got a world of options, you stupid mage. You're just an idiot. You can't even see that you're the only one I want…" Kurogane slinked backwards in the ground. He could always try getting another good-night kiss tomorrow night.

Afterthoughts: Ok-Wee… I write that a lot and it's pronounced, 'Ohk-We,' not, 'Oh-Kay-We,' in case any were wondering… (sweat drop) Reviews make me happy – especially when I'm sick which I am as I write this. Please leave one for me!
