I have no idea what it is with me these days, but I keep on claiming I've written better. I think I'll modesty, and Moulin Rouge! I watched it last night, and I one of my friends and I were crying, and then my friend started laughing cause she saw Spider Man. Alright, enjoy.
Fai cast a worried glance at the ninja.
He wasn't quite sure what was wrong with him, but he was being…different.
They had past a park a while ago, and there had been many families playing there.
Something Kurogane would've complained about, but something caught his eye.
There was a family on playing around the swings. Fai, seeing a resemblance between the son and him, had made a comment. Kurogane, instead of glaring, just sighed sadly and ushered everyone out.
So, now they were walking along to the hotel, Fai trying to get something out of the ninja, and Kurogane ignoring him.
"Kurogane's being really quiet" Sakura whispered to Syaoran.
He nodded, "Maybe he saw something in the park."
Sakura frowned. "Maybe, but what do we do?" She asked.
Syaoran paused thoughtfully. Even he was unsure of quite what to do.
"Why don't we just leave him alone for a while" He suggested.
"Alright" Sakura replied.
"Kuro-pon doesn't want to play?" Mokona asked, bouncing around the ninja playfully.
This would've been around the time Kurogane tried to punch him, but, alas, this was no normal day; Kurogane wasn't quite all there at the moment.
Mokona continued to bounce around playfully, taunting the ninja ever so slightly.
Kurogane blinked, his crimson eyes became agitated instead of thoughtful.
"Can it, manjuu" He hissed, before resuming his previous state.
Fai cocked his head to the side in worry, but covered it in a teasing manner.
"Kuro-chii should pay more attention" He scolded, placing a hand on the ninja's shoulder so he wouldn't walk any farther.
"Kuro-wanko almost walked right past the hotel."
Kurogane grunted when he realized the mage was right.
They entered the hotel and had supper. Kurogane retired early, at nine to be exact.
"Fai, do you know what's wrong with Kurogane?" She asked worriedly.
Fai shook his head sadly, "No, although I've seen Kuro-daddy last that long without trying to kill anyone."
Syaoran and Sakura smiled.
Fai grinned slightly, "You two should get some sleep we have to look for the feather tomorrow."
Syaoran nodded. "Come on princess"
He placed a hand on her shoulder and slowly let her away to their room.
Fai chuckled as he watched their retreating backs.
They made such a good couple it was hard not to smile at them.
He inhaled deeply before he went to his room.
When he got there he noticed Kurogane lying on the bed, lying on his covered by the blankets.
"Does Kuro-myuu want to talk about it" Fai asked lightly.
"…."
Fai sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Sometimes you feel better when you talk about it" He said, cringing at the oddness of him saying that.
Kurogane rolled onto his back, propping himself up on his elbows.
"You're not going to leave until I tell you, are you?" He asked tiredly.
Fai grinned manically and shook his head.
Kurogane sighed and flopped back onto the pillows. Fai copied him exactly, lying next to him on the bed.
"Ok, now you're just doing this to be annoying" Kurogane snapped.
Fai pursed his lips, "Ah, I would never do that when Kuro-chii sounds so depressed."
Kurogane turned his head to face the mage.
"Since when do you care?" He asked, "Whatever happened to in return for not telling people about your past you wouldn't interfere in other's past?"
"So it's about your past?!" Fai trilled, pleased to be getting something out of the stoic ninja.
Kurogane grunted, "I don't want to talk about it."
"I'm sorry" Fai said hurriedly, "But if it's affecting you this much please at least tell me a bit about it."
Kurogane raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"If something's affecting you this badly, it ends up affecting everyone else" Fai explained.
Kurogane sighed.
"So no chance of you leaving?" He asked.
Fai shook his head.
The ninja sighed again; he knew he would regret it.
"It's about my parents" he muttered quietly.
A piece clicked into place into Fai's mind.
"Aha!" He trilled, startling Kurogane, "You saw some people who looked like your parents!"
A confused expression grew on his face. "But why would that make Kuro-woof depressed?"
Kurogane stared up at the ceiling blankly. "They died when I was little" He explained.
His tone was somewhat dull, but the hurt still there was obvious.
"Oh" Fai murmured.
Before Fai had an inkling of what he was doing he wrapped one slender arm around the ninja, pulling him closer till the back of his head was resting on Fai's chest.
Kurogane grunted in surprise but didn't do anything about it.
"Kuro-wan doesn't have to talk about it anymore" Fai said quietly.
Kurogane didn't respond.
Fai zoned out in the silence. Absentmindedly he reached out the hand that he had used to pull Kurogane closer and rubbed it in a small circle on the ninja's arm.
They remained like this for five minutes.
"Well, I guess I better leave" Fai said, sitting himself up slightly.
When Kurogane made no attempt at moving Fai looked down at his face in surprise.
Kurogane's eyes were closed and his expression was peaceful.
"Kuro-daddy?" Fai asked.
No response.
Fai smiled slightly; Kurogane had fallen asleep.
Fai flopped back down onto the bed, bringing up on hand to brush on of a strand of hair out of his eye.
"Night Kuro-chii" Fai murmured before falling asleep too.
Now, for why I wrote it.. I have no idea, I just wanted a park and Kuroganeto be involved. I was going to make Kurogane talk a little more about it, but I think emotinal talk is diffucult for the poor man.
Ok, bye, R&R
