I do not own Tsubasa. I know this is getting boring/old/whatever, but it is required...

Chapitre 13: Waiting

The next twenty-four hours were uneventful and boring. Syaoran passed the time by reading; Fai was showing Mokona, Sakura and Yume how to make chocolate cake; Kyoki was playing Dance Dance Revolution which she claimed the more she played, the faster her ankle would heal; Kurogane was reading his manga.

Nothing at all happened until later that night when Sakura, Syaoran and Mokona were all away in their beds, asleep. Yume and Fai called Kurogane and Kyoki to the living room. The two of them came, thinking that Fai and Yume wanted to talk about going to see the Demon Lord the next day. Fai and Yume had the two of them sit down as they stood before them.

"Kyoki. Kurogane. We know you are both old enough to know about the birds and the bees." Fai started.

"Heh?" Kyoki was taken back by that.

"And since you two are dating now, we thought it was best to remind you that when having sexual intercourse you must use protection. Unless you are trying to make a baby." Yume continued.

"W-what?" Kyoki stuttered as she blushed. "W-we aren't doing... that kind of thing..."

Kurogane stood. "I don't need to hear any of thi-"

"Sit down, Kurogane!" Fai said, pointing his finger at the dark haired man.

Kurogane glared his eyes. "Wanna make me?"

"Now, now. No need for violence. Either you sit down and let us do the talking, or we are going to call Yûko, and let her inform you of the protection of the birds and the bees." Yume said, pulling the sleeping Mokona out of her pocket.

"You wouldn't." Kurogane growled.

"I would." Yume growled back.

"No! Not Yûko! She probably has posters and videos and PowerPoint presentations. For the love of everything chocolate, don't do it!" Kyoki said, standing up as well.

"Then sit down and listen to us talk." Fai said.

Kyoki immediately sat down, and hesitantly so did Kurogane.

"Now, let us begin." Fai said happily.

"This is so freaking embarrassing..." Kyoki muttered as she began to wish she hadn't waken up at all that morning.

About thirty minutes later and Fai and Yume were still talking.

"Now, as much as I want a baby Kuro-tan running around, I think that you two should plan for him to come when it's more convenient for you." Fai said.

"Hey, wait. What if I want a little Kyo-ran running around? I want a little Kuro-tan too, but you can't leave out Kyo-ran."

And that is what stated the 'break' from the sex talk.

Kyoki, who had been sitting as far as she could from Kurogane, scooted over to Kurogane.

"Kurogane... I've been thinking... and I think we should try to make a plan to get away from them. Judging by the way they are talking, it seems they plan on talking all night. Since we can't go outside, I think we should try to make it to the bathroom since it has a lock on it. We can hide there until this passes over." Kyoki whispered to him.

Kurogane snorted. "I'm ain't hiding in no damn bathroom."

"Well, I am. They taught of all of this in ninth, and twelfth grade at my school, and I never want to listen to it all again. So I'm making a break for it. You can stay and have all the fun here if you want." Kyoki told him.

"Fine. I'll come."

"Good. Now, I'm going to create a distraction." Kyoki said as she closed her eyes for a moment. When she opened them, tears began to pour down. She got off the couch and walked to Yume and Fai and tugged on their sleeves.

"Fai-san... Yume-chan... I don't feel so good... I have a upset stomach from all that cake I ate earlier... can... may I go to the bathroom... please?" Kyoki hugged her stomach and bent over slightly.

Fai and Yume both looked at her and began to nod, but then Kyoki suddenly stood straight, wiped her tears and pushed Fai and Yume toward the armchair as she grinned and said "Sayonara baby."

She started to run to the bathroom with Kurogane right behind her. She looked over her shoulder to see what Fai and Yume were doing, which was try to untangle themselves from each other off the armchair. As Kyoki turned to face forward, her left foot tripped over her right and she started to stumble. She fell to her knees.

Kurogane stopped at her side.

"Kurogane, go. Save yourself." Kyoki told him.

Kurogane instead picked her up and rushed to the bathroom. Once they were both safely in there, he slammed the door shut and locked it.

"Y-you... saved me.. again..." Kyoki said as she was put down. "Thank you so much."

"Whatever. So now what are we going to do?"

"Don't know. Sit down and wait, I guess. I'm going to sit in the bathtub since it's probably the most cleanest spot, you may join me if you wish." Kyoki walked into the tub and sat down indian style.

"I can't believe I'm doing this." Kurogane said as he too, sat in the bathtub. His back rested up against the wall of the tub, his legs hanging out over the sides.

"I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"For us not being able to go and check out that place."

"It's fine. We're going there tomorrow anyway."

"Yea, I know. Oh, and thank you for saving me the other day. If you and Syaoran-kun hadn't show up, I don't think I would have made it."

"Don't do such reckless things then."

"Hehe, all right. I'll try not to."

There was silence for several minutes.

There came a sudden knock on the door.

"Kyoki-chan? Kurogane-kun? Please come out, we need to finish out talk." Yume pleaded.

"No way, kiddo." Kyoki said.

"Hmph. We'll get you, you pretties." Yume said as she walked away.

"You know, he called you Kurogane." Kyoki said.

"He only did it to throw me off guard." He informed her.

"Oh. Right." She looked at the door. "I'm sorry about Yume... and that talk..."

"Why are you apologizing? It's those two who are being idiots." Kurogane told her.

"Yea, I know... Oh my... I just realized something..."

"What?"

"I'm not dead." Kyoki said happily.

"..." Kurogane stared at her like she had gone crazy.

"..." Kyoki looked at him nervously.

"You just figured that out?!"

"Yea. I was sitting here, thinking. Seven months ago Yûko had me try this chocolate and I thought I was going to die. But I didn't."

"... idiot."

"You should have seen it. It was... well, didn't look like chocolate. She got it as a gift from a wandering creature thing. Yûko had me eat it first since I have a stronger stomach." Kyoki said, nodding.

There came another knock at the door.

"Hey you two, please let me in." Fai pleaded.

"No, go away." Kurogane snapped.

Fai stumbled away.

"You know, I think those two have been drinking. That would explain their behavior and how I was able to get past both of them."

"Probably."

"So... in the morning they might forget that we escaped them, right? And if they ask, we can say we sat through the whole talk, right?" Her eyes glowed mischievously. "That way we won't have to sit through it if they decide to try again."

"I guess."

Kyoki nodded. "Then, I think that is what we should do."

All throughout the night the two of them heard Yume and Fai shuffling throughout the apartment. By the time it was two in the morning, the two of them had fallen asleep in the tub. Kurogane was sitting where he had been, and Kyoki had slipped down from sitting and was leaning against his arm. Sometime during that time Kurogane got a towel and placed it over her since she was shivering.

Finally the "talk" took place. Sorry for having the chapter being so short, but I didn't want to go into too much talking in this chapter. Sorry if the chapter is boring at all. Things should start to pick up soon. .

Poor Kurogane-sama and Kyoki-chan had to lock themselves in the bathroom... How ever will they retain their sanity? LOL!

Please let me know if you like this chapter! Later!
