I do not own TRC, obviously. If I did, I don't think it would have ended like it did. Lol! Anywho, sorry for the delay. I have had this part written for years now. Still in the middle of writing part three. Since TRC is over now, perhaps I'll get more motivated to write/finish it. We'll just have to wait and see, I guess. :3E

Ah, as a warning, I have not edited this chapter since writing it years ago, so things may be... grammar stupid? :P Anyway, I hope you enjoy~

Chapitre 23: Give Me All Your Love

Monday

The next morning Fai woke up earlier than he needed to so he could wake up Kurogane and Kyoki up. He woke Kurogane up without telling him at first what the reason was for getting up so early. He did that after they had gotten Kyoki. They were standing outside her dorm room when Kyoki (who was still in her pajamas), half awake, asked what the meaning of all this was.

"We're going to walk the children on their first day of high school, of course. I wanna see how cute they look." Fai smiled at them.

Kurogane glared at him, fighting the urge to kill the magician.

Kyoki lunched forward and covered her hand over his mouth. "You can't stuff like that here. This is high school... and college. So that makes it double trouble if people heard that and started making rumors. Life would be hell. Trust me. I know... well not personally. I kinda kept in the shadows and made my way through without the rumor-ness surrounding me. So please don't make life hard for Yume-chan, Sakura-chan and Syaoran-kun, ok?"

Fai nodded his head and she sighed in relief as she removed her hand.

They then walked to Sakura and Yume's room and Fai knocked. Yume answered the door and looked at the small group, confused.

"Is... is everything all right?" She asked.

Sakura came over to join her.

They were both in their school uniforms. Which consisted of a black jacket (under it was a white shirt which had some of the collar showing toward the top of the jacket), red and black plaid skirt that came down to the mid-thigh. They wore black socks (they came up to mid-shin) with black dress shoes that had a buckle strap going across the top of the foot near the ankle.

Fai jumped up happily; he then hugged the two of them. "You two make Mommy so happy with your cuteness! I bet Daddy is happy too~!"

"Shut up, you bastard!" Kurogane yelled while Kyoki shrieked: "I told you to quit that!"

"Fai-san? Kyoki-san? Kurogane-san? What are you three doing here?" Syaoran said as he walked over to them.

Syaoran was in his uniform as well. He wore a black jacket similar to the girls', though it was buttoned, so it could not show the white shirt underneath, with black pants, with black socks and black shoes.

"Whee~ Syaoran-kun is so cute! Auntie is happy!" Kyoki cried out as she hugged onto Syaoran.

"Eh?" Syaoran was thrown off by all of this.

"She's not fully awake, so don't mind her." Yume said as she stepped forward and removed her cousin from Syaoran.

"We are here to walk you young children to school." Fai told them.

"Fai, we are not young children. We aren't children at all." Yume reminded him.

He waved his hand at her as if that would make the subject blow away.

They then left, taking the younger ones to class. When that was through, Kyoki went back to her bedroom to sleep for a couple more hours before her class.

Kyoki was having a wonderful dream; a wonderful glorious dream that would have gone on, perhaps, if a pillow weren't thrown in her face. She sat up quickly and looked around the room, trying to remember what happened. She remember being awoken by Fai to walk Yume and the others to class, then she came back here and got her uniform on so she could sleep a little bit longer than if she had waited until right before class. Then she laid down... and woke up to a pillow flying into her face.

"Get the door." Kaho whined from the other side of the room.

"Huh?" That was when she noticed that there was a light knocking coming from the door. She stumbled over to the door and opened it to reveal Fai.

"Good morning again, Kyo-chan." Fai smiled at her.

Kaho jumped off her bed and ran to the door. "Hey! Where is that other one? Kurogane?"

Fai looked at her curiously. "He's not here."

"Oh..." Kaho turned and went back to bed.

"Is everything all right?" Kyoki asked him.

"Yea, I just came here to walk you to class. I was going to have Kuro-pin come, but I couldn't find him."

"Hehe, that is all right. Hold on a second. I just need to brush my hair, teeth and grab my book." She said as she began to do these things. When she was finished, she exited the room and the two of them headed out of the building.

"You have Graphic Design class today, right?"

"Yep. Kurogane and you have a class together today?"

"Yea, Basic computer class." Fai told her.

"Hehe, that sounds like fun. I love computer classes."

For the rest of the way they chitchatted about their classes.

"Thank you for walking me here. I was a little worried last night. I thought I would forget where it was and get lost." She smiled at him. She looked down at her uniform nervously. The college uniform was very much like the high schoolers. But their socks came up to their knees. Their shirts were black, and were not required to wear a jacket, though they had a red tie.

"It's not a problem. Do you need me to walk you back after class?"

"It's all right. I should be able to find my way back. Well, I should get in the room now. Thank you for everything."

Fai nodded. "Have fun."

"Hehe. Hopefully I will. Later." She waved slightly and went into the room.

Fai turned and left to go look for the missing ninja. It didn't take him long to locate Kurogane walking around the school. Fai walked over to Kurogane.

"Why weren't you there to walk Kyo-chan to class?" Fai asked him.

"Leave me alone." He turned and began walking in the opposite direction.

"Nope. I'm going to keep bugging you about this." Fai laughed, and he did just that. He bugged the poor ninja.

"Where is Kurogane?"

That was the first thing she heard as she came out of her classroom. Kyoki turned to her left to see Kaho standing there with her arms crossed over her chest.

"I don't know." Kyoki told her, as she turned and began to walk away.

"You are dating the man after all. You should know where he is." Kaho said, following her.

"We don't have to be together twenty-four seven."

"You know, I think that if you have a boyfriend, you should spend as much time as you possibly can with him before he decides to go after someone else." Kaho said.

Kyoki spun to face Kaho. "What is your deal?"

"Nothing. I'm just trying to say that most guys who like their girlfriends will wait and walk with them."

Kyoki was getting tired of this. So she just shrugged her shoulders and walked off.

Kaho stuck her tongue out and turned around and walked away as well.

One hour later and it was time for Kurogane and Fai to go to their class. They were both in their school uniforms which were very much like the high schoolers, but like the females, they had a choice to wear their jackets or not. Fai had his tied around his waist while Kurogane wore his unbuttoned. Their shirts remained white, but they had to wear black ties.

As they were walking peacefully toward their class, Kaho ran over to them and ambushed Kurogane by standing in front of him, making him stop in order to not crash into her.

"Hey, Kurogane-kun. What class are you heading to?" Kaho asked him.

Fai stopped beside Kurogane, watching intently.

Kurogane responded by walking around her, Fai following.

"Basic Computer class? That's funny since I have that class as well. Let's walk together." Kaho said, walking on Kurogane's available side. She then looked around Kurogane at Fai and asked: "Who are you?"

"Fai D. Flowright." Fai said, smiling, thinking that there was something he didn't like at all about this girl.

"Are you his friend?" She said, pointing to Kurogane.

"Yep. He's my best friend." Fai told her.

Kurogane just growled as they entered the room. The room had twenty-five computers. Many of the computers already had people sitting in front of them. There was a desk at the front of the room where the teacher sat and used their computer to teach the class. There were twelve desks with two computers on each one. The desks were set into rows of three if you were to go vertical; horizontally there were four rows.

"Kuro-tuu, wanna sit by me?" Fai said, walking to the second row in the middle.

"No." Kurogane said, walking past the blond man.

"Do you wanna sit by me then?" Kaho said, hugging onto his arm tightly.

"No." Kurogane pulled his arm away from her and went back to Fai and sat next to him.

Kaho pouted as she sat down at the computer behind Kurogane.

"You know, I wish my high school was like this back in my world. I would have paid so much more attention." Yume told them at lunchtime. "It's so much more fun here."

"My class is pretty fun too." Fai said, and then looked at Kurogane. "It's even funnier since this one here sucks at typing. Or anything to do with the computer, really. I had to help him out."

"Kyoki!" Yume yelled before Kurogane could threaten Fai with his life. "Why aren't you eating?"

"Huh? I don't eat lunch. Remember? At least not when I have school." Kyoki said, going back to the manga she was reading.

"Yume-chan, we should be getting back to class now." Sakura told the older female.

"Ah, you're right. See you guys later." Yume and Sakura waved as the three of them left.

"We should be heading back too, Kuro-to." Fai said, getting up.

Kurogane stood up too. He then leaned forward and snapped his fingers in front of Kyoki's face, which made her jump and drop her book on the table.

"W-what?"

"Shouldn't you be getting ready for gym?" He asked.

"Oh... yea... You're lucky you don't have to go today." Kyoki grabbed her book and stood up.

"Don't read while you walk." Kurogane turned and left.

"Have fun, Kyo-to." Fai said as he waved and ran off.

"Evil people who don't have gym today." She stuck her tongue out at their fleeing backs and turned to go back to the dorm.

Kyoki went back to her room and got out her gym uniform that involved her wearing black shorts with a red t-shirt. She had to wear socks that came up to her knees with tennis shoes. She decided to get dressed at the gym. She shoved the stuff in a small bag and ran out the door.

Thirty minutes later, at 1:05 she finally made it to the gym after looking for it. After getting dressed in the bathroom she emerged into the gym. The girls were to be playing on one half of the gym while the boys were on the other half. To prevent confusion with flying balls, there was a curtain that came down from the ceiling to divide the two sections. It was currently down.

"Kyoki Okamiki?" The teacher asked, coming over to her. She was a tall woman with short brown hair and green eyes.

"Y-yes?"

"You're late."

"I'm sorry. I couldn't find the gym and-"

"Don't care. You're down for detention. After class you are to pick up the equipment. Got it?"

"Sure." Kyoki said, walking away from the teacher and sitting on a nearby bench while the teacher got some things ready.

Minutes later, the teacher began to talk to the group of girls. "For the next couple of days we are going to be playing volleyball. After that, soccer. Then baseball. For today, we are just going to go over the rules and practice our serve and hitting the ball back and forth over the net. I will decide the teams in a moment."

As the teacher did this, a two of girls came over to Kyoki.

"Are you the new student who is Kaho's new roommate?" This girl had short blond hair with brown eyes.

"Yes, I am."

"Good luck with that." This young woman had brown hair that was braided into long ponytails.

Before Kyoki could ask what she meant by that, they were walking away.

During the next hour the class were taught (in some cases, re-taught) how to play volleyball. Every time Kyoki served, it managed to get on the other side of the court, scoring a point quite a few times. There were whisperings around that half of the gym that she was good at serving like Kaho.
