This lovely chappie is dedicated to all those fans who thought something would happen in chappie 185. Not really many spoilers..which is kinda funny.
Read on, and enjoy my rendition of part of chapter 185.
"Why is the kid staying in the other room tonight?" Kurogane asked, raising an eyebrow.
Fai grinned coyly.
"I'd thought you'd notice," He said slowly, "And I thought you'd know why."
Kurogane rolled his eyes. Ok, sure his arm hurt, but he was not going to admit it.
Fai continued grinning as he stared up at the taller man.
"You're not planning on sleeping in that are you?" Fai asked, referring to Kurogane's face guard and cloak.
"Tch." Kurogane grunted. He removed the face guard and his cloak, using only one arm.
"Answer my question" He snapped. Fai's grin morphed into something that told Kurogane he should run for the hills.
The ninja stood rooted in place. Fai stood on his tiptoes and leaned towards the ninja.
Kurogane furrowed his brow. Just what did the mage think he was going to do?
If it was what Kurogane thought it was, killing someone seemed like an option.
Fai leaned forward a bit more and planted a kiss on Kurogane's lips.
Kurogane's mind went into shock.
He was thinking in terms like: Mage, kissing, me, must, not, enjoy.
Fai pulled away slightly.
"That's why" He explained. His tone could only be described as flirtatious.
Kurogane, acting on instinct alone, recaptured Fai's lips. It was his turned to catch Fai off guard.
Fai, recovering his composure quicker than the ninja ever could, wrapped his arms around Kurogane's neck.
Kurogane, pretty much still completely unsure of what he was doing, wrapped his arm around the mage's waist, roughly pulling him closer.
He winced at the abrupt movement of his fake arm.
Kurogane placed a hand on the back of the mages head, running his hand through Fai's blond hair.
Fai grinned to himself; this worked out better than he thought it would. He had figured Kurogane would've killed him.
Kurogane blinked, his head clearing suddenly. Damn it! The mage had caught him off guard, and now he was catching himself with his tongue down the man's throat. And, the one fact that disgusted him to no end was that he was enjoying this.
He pulled his head back slowly, observing the sad look in Fai's eye.
"You bastard, I'll kill you" He muttered before kissing him again.
The curtain to the door was pulled open, but Kurogane and Fai were too into the moment to notice.
"Excuse me but I think I left my--" Syaoran stopped short, eyes growing wide.
Kurogane and Fai pulled apart suddenly, turning to face him.
A flush almost identical to Syaoran's spread across the ninja's cheeks.
"Never mind" Syaoran said quickly, rushing out of the room.
"My my, looks like we scared Syaoran" Fai commented, giggling slightly.
More like scarred, Kurogane added silently.
"Where were we?" Fai asked, turning around to face the ninja again.
Fai slipped on Syaoran's cloak and fell forward. At least they knew why he had entered the room.
Kurogane shot his arm out to catch Fai. Fai fell against the arm and Kurogane let out an involuntary grunt of pain.
Fai straightened himself up, his expression serious.
"Your arm, it's hurting you isn't it?" Fai asked. He had known from the beginning, he just wanted to go about this approach.
Falling hadn't been part of his master plan however.
Kurogane remained silent and sat down on the bed.
"That's why you were wearing you face guard and cloak earlier today, so we wouldn't notice" Fai mused silently. "Does it hurt more than yesterday?" He asked.
"Yeah, so what if it does?" Kurogane asked irritably. He was angry at being trapped in this argument. Getting trapped was his entire fault too. Some ninja he was.
Fai raised his fist, his hand rolled into a tight ball. He brought it down upon the ninja's head in a swift and harsh manner.
"You bastard!" Kurogane snapped, holding his head. It was starting to really tick him off that the mage had hit him more times then the ninja had smacked him.
"Hiding your pain from your other companions will only end up hurting them more in the long run," Fai said wisely.
Kurogane scoffed. "You're one to talk."
Fai grinned slightly. "Yeah, I am."
"Why does it matter?" Kurogane asked, folding his arms irritably.
"Using this we can find out if time really repeats itself" Fai explained. Kurogane had to admit it wasn't a bad plan.
Kurogane blinked suddenly, his eyelids felt heavy. Fai was swaying slightly.
"What the hell's wrong with you?" Kurogane asked.
"I feel" Fai paused slightly, "Really tired."
"There's a bed right here" Kurogane said, gesturing to the bed.
Fai nodded and started walking. Before he could make it to the bed, sleep washed over both of them like a blanket.
Kurogane grasped onto consciousness just a while longer to pull Fai onto the bed next to him. Then he too fell asleep, wishing he could've savored the one moment Fai was being quiet. Fai was sleeping next to Kurogane, his head resting on the older man's chest; Kurogane had his arm wrapped around him slightly, and the other lying sprawled out across the bed.
A grin tugged across Fai's face as he dreamed about the tantrum that Kurogane would have the next morning.
There you go, pretend this happened instead, thats what I'm going to do.
Don't expect many updates as fast as this, I'm going through a spring break thing were I'd rather be outside. It won't last long, and I'll most likely be inspired by some half-eaten food item next week, so wait on.
R&R and R&R (rest and relax) we all need it.
