They were rushed back to their house. Tomoyo was at the park, telling everyone that they would have to go back to their house. She came to the house and knocked. Calleigh opened the door for her to come in.

" Thank you." She replied. They got comfortable in the living room, and Kurogane stood beside his princess.

" So this is the group you have been traveling with?" She asked looking at Sakura, Syaoran, Fay, and Mokona.

" Yes." He grumbled to her.

" So you must be the princess Yuuko has been talking about." She said looking at Sakura.

She nodded her head. Her face was flushed with embarrassment.

" But on the bigger note why I'm here. The man you fought with yesterday is finding any way possible to kill those two" She pointed at Calleigh and Jason, whom came over to the house before he went to the park. " And you." She said now looking up at Kurogane.

He looked down at her. " Well, I don't care." He said bluntly.

" I know you don't care Kurogane, but you have to learn when a battle is to hard for just yourself to handle." She tried to explain to him.

He rolled his eyes and looked anywhere but her.

Fay watched her curiously. He knew about her, and how she was a dream seer. He just watched her.

" And you must be Fay." She said turning to him smiling.

" Yes." He answered," How do you know about the fight yesterday and about how we are going to be in danger?" He asked.

" Well, You know the answer for the why I know you guys are in danger, but I found out about the fight through Yuuko." She answered calmly.

" Yuuko? You mean that witch? How does she know?" He asked.

" Well, she has more than one way of talking to people. And it happens you already know the one. That is how." She said teasingly to Kurogane.

" That, doesn't answer my question, it is you saying, a name told her, not a riddle!" His temper was rising.

" That name is in this room right now." She answered.

"Awe, Kuro-woof is getting grumpy!" Fay said now standing up from the chair, ready to run."

Kurogane looked to the ground, his face red with anger.

" What's that Mage?" He said as calmly as he could. He would not let his princess know his temper was not all that much better as the last time she saw him.

He looked confused; He would have usually chased him by now I threw something at him.

" I said Awe, Kuro-woof is getting grumpy." He said, and then he smiled.

" Oh I see now."

" See what?"

" You are trying to hide it from her because you love her!" He smiled. And he knew he caught something because Kurogane twitched in annoyance. His fist was clutched tightly, and his foot moved an inch from the spot towards him.

Tomoyo just watched the two in utter amusement.

" Oh, I guess Kuro-love, doesn't want to admit it. I think maybe he doesn't love her; He loves someone else." He watched Kurogane inch closer to the couch as if he was grabbing something.

"KURO-LOVE LOVES PRINCESS TOMOYO!" Fay yelled out and ducked when a pillow went flailing through the air. Fay laughed.

" You missed Kuro-pipi." Fay teased and poked the ninja in the arm.

" MAGE!" He shouted, and tried to hit Fay in the face. Fay dodged them all. Kurogane Chased after him now. He was swinging more punches.

" STAND STILL YOU STUPID MAGE!" Kurogane yelled at him.

Fay laughed. He turned around to see where Kurogane was, and He was getting close. Fay laughed and turned back to see where he was going, and didn't see the table. He tripped over it. He grabbed the edge and flipped over to get on his feet before he fell. He turned around and Kurogane was on top of him. Fay was pinned down on the ground looking up at the crimson eyes.

He was out of breath and was staring into the blue eyes.

" Now what have we learned." Kurogane asked, still a bit angry.

" I learned to where I'm going?" He said with a smile.

The ninja growled dangerously.

Fay smiled brightly at him. His face was a bit flushed by Kurogane's weight on his stomach.

" Can you get off me, I can't breath." Fay asked.

" No. Not until you tell me, what it is you learned."

" Your not in love with her, now get off!" He said squirming to get out of his grasp.

Kurogane smirked and got up off him. He sat on the couch, still grumpy and glared at Fay.

Fay got up and sat again in the chair close to Tomoyo.

Tomoyo was thrilled that Fay was able to do that with the ninja.

" So, Princess Sakura, have you found most of your feathers?" Tomoyo asked leaving the two of them to themselves.

Sakura nodded her head.

She smiled at her.

Mokona then "Mekko" and Yuuko showed up from his jewel on his head.

" So I see she has arrived, safely." She said looking around the room.

Seeing her made Kurogane even grumpier. She smiled when she saw his expression towards her.

" So there's the head over heals, Lover boy." She smiled.

Kurogane's eyes widened when she said that.

Then he looked at Mokona.

" Pork bun." He growled under his breath.

Tomoyo looked at the ninja then back at the witch.

" Our Kurogane, our ninja, that never falls in love, is in love?" Her smile was from ear to ear. " Who is this lucky girl?"

" On the contrary Princess Tomoyo." She smiled.

Fay's face was red with embarrassment. He had to look away.

" I'm, going to make some tea for everyone." Fay said and quickly got out of the room.

Kurogane just growled. He glared at the witch.

" Hmm, it seems like the grumpy ninja doesn't want anyone to know."

" I don't care who knows. But it's the people who know that wont let it down." He grumbled.

Mokona knew that he was soon going to be a squished fluff ball soon.

" Oh, well. It's not that important. But the main reason why I'm talking to you guys. I wanted to make sure that all of you are alright." She said.

Kurogane laughed out loud. She looked over at him.

" Eh, sorry. Just slipped out." He said.

She narrowed her red eyes at him. " Hmm, The ninja is being interruptive, and inconsiderate. Triple the price now for the lateness and rudeness for white day." She said.

Kurogane just looked at her.

" Not like you were going to get it in the first place." He said under his breath," Of course. What ever you say." He said with much difficulty.

Tomoyo chuckled.

" Don't worry, I got them away and everyone from the park." Tomoyo said to the witch.

The witch smiled sweetly towards her. " That's good. Now it's time for mine and Mokona's Drink and Dinner, and to get him to clean up." She said now talking to the man that was in the room.

" I'M NOT YOUR SLAVE!" The man in the room shouted.

" He has as much temper as the ninja." She said then she disappeared.

" Damn witch." Kurogane growled, " I'm going to help Fay." Kurogane said now getting up.

Tomoyo looked shocked that he would help someone other than her. Usually when people asked for his help he told then to do it themselves.

Kurogane walked purposely towards the other way just so he could kick the white manjuu, but he already knew about his plan and jumped into Syaoran's lap.

" Your lucky." He growled under his breath so he would hear.

He got in the kitchen and found Fay over the sink looking out the window, the water over flowing the kettle. He looked, sad. It looked like he was worried about something.

" Are you ok?" Kurogane asked.

Fay whipped around quickly to his voice, as if it penetrated something deep inside.

" Of Course why wouldn't I be?" he asked smiling.

' Again with that smile.' Kurogane thought then pointed to the over flowing kettle.

" Oh, oops." He said now turning off the water and putting the kettle on the stove, then putting on the element to a high temperature to boil the water.

" What's wrong?" Kurogane asked again.

" Nothing." Fay said looking Kurogane in the eye, smiling even more.

" Stop that." Kurogane said.

" Stop what?" He looked confused now.

" That fake smile."

" Wh-What?" Fay said caught off guard with that statement.

" You know what I mean." The ninja said, " Why are you doing something that pains you to do?"

Fay just looked to the ground," Because that is all that I knew how to do from my life, but like you said the first time we met, you don't want to know, or care about my past." Fay said.

Kurogane sighed and then stood beside him, smiling at him. His attempt at a smile wasn't the greatest smile in the world, but it worked for Fay.

" Ok." He said.

" Do you want any help with the tea?" The ninja asked the Mage.

" Sure if you want to." Fay said now walking over to the cupboard to get some cups for everyone.

" This is what you can do for now, ask how many people want tea."

Kurogane nodded and walked out of the room, then all was silent when he walked in. He felt like they were talking about him.

" Um, who all wants tea?" He asked a little angry that they would talk about him, and confused if they even were talking about him.

Everyone besides Jason wanted tea.

" Ok." Kurogane said and made for the door. Then he heard them whispering.

" WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT?" He yelled.

" Nothing, it is, nothing." Calleigh said.

" Whatever." He said, back in his grumpy mood.

He walked into the room and said, "6." And sat down angrily in the seat.

Fay looked at him and took out 8 cups, and set them down now waiting for the tea to settle.

" What was the screaming about?" Fay said now sitting beside him.

" They are talking about me, and I want to know why, and what!" Kurogane said.

Fay looked at him. " Maybe they aren't talking about you? They are probably just talking about something they don't want you to know." Fay suggested.

" I know my princess, it is something about me. She didn't look at me for a few minutes. She saw me in the room and tried to look at something else, they are talking about me." Kurogane spat.

Fay looked at him. " The tea is ready anyways, we will find out when we bring it out for everyone." Fay said, now getting up to put the cups on a tray, the tea on the tray, and get Kurogane to carry it. They walked into the room, and Fay came in a few minutes after Kurogane, because he forgot the cookies that he baked.

Kurogane handed out the tea and sat down in his regular chair and shipped on his hot plain tea. He glared at Mokona, which seemed very unlike himself, he seemed more distant to bug him.

" Why are you all looking at me like that?" He asked angrily, seeing that everyone was looking at him oddly.

Mokona just got startled, " I'm going to Sakura's room!" He said jumping up and racing towards her room.

Everyone looked away, and it was very silent.

Tomoyo was drinking her tea and couldn't help but chuckle.

" What's so funny?"

" Nothing Kurogane." She answered. " It's, nothing. I think I should be going back to my own world, I think everyone is getting confused, about my disappearance."

She got up, "Thank you for the tea Fay." She said bowing at him," But before I leave, I need to talk to you." She said, they both got up and walked to his bedroom.

Kurogane was confused. " WHAT!" he snapped viciously at Jason who was looking at him oddly.

" Nothing. I think this is a bad time, I'm going to go." He said now leaving towards his house.

Sakura smiled at him. " Well, I think we should start making dinner, it is 5:00." She said now pointing out how late they were there talking.

Her and Calleigh got up and left into the kitchen, now that was left was Syaoran and Kurogane in the living room, sipping on their tea.

" Will you tell me what you guys were talking about?"

Syaoran was hesitant with saying it.

" Well, It wasn't me, Tomoyo knew Mokona knew and she knew that everyone, but Calleigh and Jason knew…" He said and started to fade off with the sentence.

" Just tell me!" He said angrily, already guessing what he was about to say.

" Well, they all know that you and Fay, um… Care for each other." He said now looking down.

" GREAT! JUST GREAT!" He said. He hid his head in his hands and tried to calm down so he wouldn't blow up on the kid.

" So, What did she say?"

" Tomoyo? She thinks it's cute that you have finally fallen in love with someone; she thought it would have been, uh someone else. But she is so excited, she wants you two to live at her castle and get married, and she was talking about the wedding, Please don't kill someone." He said.

" I'm not going to kill someone, not like I have a choice, just I'm going to get made a certain someone's" He said angrily, putting down his cut on the table and made his way to Fay's room. He knocked rather loudly.

Fay opened up. He smiled when he saw who it was.

" What would you like?"

" Let me in." He said angrily not waiting for a reply, he barged in.

"Kurogane." She said smiling, " Why are you here?"

" I know you damn well know why I'm here!" He snapped.

She laughed, " I was wondering when they would tell you. But don't worry, I wont let anyone back home know about that, they might think your weak or something." She laughed at that.

He glared at her. Fay now looking confused watching them argue.

" Am I missing something here?" He asked.

" YES! THAT STUPID WITCH MADE HER WANT TO KNOW SO SHE GOT IT OUT OF EVERYONE!" He yelled.

Fay just blushed and looked down. "Oh." He said.

" That's not even the worse part of it!" He snapped," But I'm too angered to say it nicely." He said storming out of his room and slammed opened his bedroom and slammed it shut. Some of the pictures on the wall fell down. He sat on his bed and grabbed his pillow and shoved it over his face. He didn't relies how tired and hungry he really was until he sat down and had the pillow over his face.

He closed his eyes, and ended up falling asleep. Fay waked him up by shaking his shoulders. The ninja opened his eyes and saw Fay there.

" What?" He groaned closing his eyes again.

" Do you want to sleep more? I can save your dinner for you."

He groaned again in agreement.

" Ok." Fay said walking out of the room and closed the door behind him silently as Kurogane fell in deep slumber once more.

He was again woken up. He thought that it was only five minutes, but saw how dark it was in the room.

" What?" He growled.

" It's 11:00. Do you want your dinner now?"

" I don't care." He groaned.

Fay yet again got up and came back with his heated food.

It was homemade soup and buns.

Kurogane got up and ate it quickly and lay back done in his bed. He hugged his stomach for it started to hurt.

Fay looked down at him. " Are you still tired?" He asked.

" Yeah, But I still want to talk to you." He said ignoring his pain in his stomach and his slight fever and sat up.

" About earlier, what was bugging you?" Kurogane asked sympathetically.

Fay was silent. " It was nothing, like I said. Nothing to worry about." He said.

" It is something to worry about, you weren't yourself, and I saw you for once not your fake smile self. Why, what was on you mind to make you like that?"

"It… It's nothing; it was just something about my past I'm worried about like I said. Nothing."

" Tell me."

" It's-"

" You say nothing one more time…" Kurogane threatened.

" It's, just something." He said and he tried to get up but Kurogane was fast and grabbed his wrist to stop him.

" You're not getting away. Now tell me!" he said.

Fay looked away.

" I can't." He whispered," Not now."

Kurogane was confused.

" You can tell me." Kurogane said, giving more of a strong hold, now that Fay was struggling to get out of his grasp.

" It is about my king, and my other sibling." He started.

Kurogane solely let go of his wrist. Fay sat back down on the bed.

" It's just, I'm afraid that something going to happen." He said.

" What do you mean?"

" I'm not that, lucky in life lets say." He said.

" So you think something going to happen? What do you mean happen?"

" Well, between us." He said.

" Why do you think that?"

" Because, of my life, I'm not that lucky. I was lucky once, but it ended up killing someone."

" Who?"

" My brother." He said.
