The next morning, Kurogane was being straddled and then felt something like water being poured on his head. He opened his eyes after wiping them.

" GOOD MORNING KURO-PON!" Fay yelled as he smiled down at him.

" MAGE!"

Everyone in the kitchen was just waking up and heard him yell.

" I wonder what he did this time?" Mokona asked.

Fay came sprinting into the room laughing, and shutting the door. He ran behind Calleigh.

Then Kurogane stormed into the room, head soaked, and his top shirt, soaked." Come here mage." He said sounding sweet, where his body was hunched over, his fist clenched, eyes glaring at Fay.

He was still laughing and shook his head.

" What happened Kurogane?" Sakura asked walking over with a towel from the laundry hamper. She was folding some clothes.

Kurogane grabbed the towel and thanked her.

" Well instead of annoying me, he thought it would be funny to pour water all over me!" He said angrily.

Fay laughed even more.

" THINK IT'S FUNNY DO YOU!" Kurogane yelled at him.

Fay closed his mouth, and tried to keep a straight face.

" Yes, yes I do." Fay said with the straightest face he possibly could.

Kurogane growled and inched his way over.

" You do, do you?" He asked.

" Yes." Fay nodded.

" WELL WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT!" HE roared and chased Fay now outside in the backyard, hearing things being thrown at each other.

" Those two, I will never get them." Calleigh said sipping her coffee.

" No one will." Sakura said finishing the laundry.

Fay rushed back in the house and ran to his room and slammed it shut.

Kurogane went to his door and banged on it shouting that he wouldn't stay in there forever and walked away.

Fay heard his feet steps grow faint and he slowly opened the door and stuck his head out looking down towards the kitchen. He crept out silently and he walked slowly and cautiously towards the kitchen.

Then he sensed something behind him, and when he turned around to see who it was, he was on the floor, pinned to the ground, and Kurogane on top of him.

Fay looked up at him.

Kurogane smiled at him.

" So, Do you still think it was funny?"

Fay nodded his head and Kurogane punch the floor beside his head.

Fay looked at him and knew he would never hurt him.

Fay with his free hand grabbed his and saw how red it was and how it looked soar.

" And you tell me not to hurt myself." Fay said and held the hand.

The ninja, still grumpy, rolled his eyes and got up. He went back to his room and changed out of his wet clothes. He came out and went to the kitchen and saw Fay getting the dishes out for breakfast.

Fay set them on the table and everyone sat at the table (except Sakura)
they handed out the food and everyone ate gratefully. Kurogane looked down at his food, seeing scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast. He growled at Fay.

" Will you ever stop?"

" Stop what Kuro-pon?"

" Making my food in the shape of a DOG!" He growled.

' Why does he make sure that I don't dish out my own food?' He asked himself.

Fay smiled," Then don't eat it." He said and started to eat his eggs.

Kurogane rolled his eyes and ate his meal. When they were done, Kurogane did the dishes, to let Sakura to have a time with Syaoran.

" Your so nice."

Kurogane looked over at the doorway, Fay was leaning against the doorframe.

Kurogane grunted.

" You are, If you weren't you wouldn't have done that for her. You made her really happy."

He grunted again.

Fay smiled. " Want help?"

He just looked at Fay and went back to doing the dishes.

" Your still mad about this morning?"

" No."

" Then why aren't you talking to me?"

" Because you're an idiot and annoying."

Fay looked at him. " But you like me." Fay smiled.

Kurogane just grunted again and finished the last dish in the sink and whipped up the counter.

The magician watched with sleepy eyes from lack of sleep. He rubbed his eyes with sleep and saw Kurogane with a cup of water walking towards him.

Fay smiled at him.

" Sleepy?"

" Yes." Fay nodded.

" Do you hate your hair getting wet?"

Kurogane said, pretending to take a drink of water.

" I dislike it, but I don't hate It."

" Good." He then dumped the water over his head and smiled.

Fay smiled, and shook his head to get the water on Kurogane.

" Seems you got me. Well, excuse me for a bit, while I go get dried up." Fay left the room and went to his bedroom to go get changed.

Kurogane stayed in the kitchen and cleaned up the water. He walked into the living room and saw Mokona sleeping on the couch.

Kurogane sat in his favorite chair and watched Mokona resting on the couch. He knew the kids were out for a walk, to learn more on the guy that has her feather.

He kept looking at the clock and twenty minutes had past. He was wondering what was taking him so long, so he knocked on the door.

No answer.

" Mage?" Kurogane said.

Silent.

He thought he was sleeping, he looked tired, but he would be able to hear this, even in his dead sleep. The ninja opened the door and walked in. He saw a lump in the bed; it looked like Fay forgot one blanket to put on him over the night. He walked to the bed to watch him and he got closer and saw the blanket over his head. He thought it was strange for him to be sleeping like that. He pulled back the covers and say that it was bunches of clothes and a pillow making the form.

Kurogane looked around the room, to see him pop up screaming " Boo! Ha Kuro-pi looks so scared!" But he couldn't find him. Then he looked on the desk and saw a note. But it wasn't his writing.

To Who ever read this;

I have your " Precious" Magician. I want Calleigh and Jason. I will give you back your magic maker, if you bring them to the forest by midnight tomorrow. You will never find me; so don't waste your time trying.

Sincerely: Neil.

Kurogane crumbled the piece of paper and looked at the bed.
" You better be ok, or I will kill you idiot."

The ninja was confused on how he even caught Fay, on how Fay could get away from anything and was able to get caught by this guy.

' He was tired, He couldn't think straight.' He thought. He walked towards the door to go find the kids. He got to the door handle when it opened.

" Oh Hi Kurogane, What's wrong?" Sakura asked seeing his face.

" He has Fay."

" Who has Fay?" Syaoran asked.

" That guy we fought, the one that has your feather princess."

" Where are they?" They said now shutting the door.

" I don't know, but he wants those two, Calleigh and Jason. If we don't bring them by midnight tomorrow then I don't know what will happen to Fay." He said. He walked away to him room and grabbed the stuffed dog Fay got him for Christmas.

" I'll get you back Fay. Please don't worry."

And Kurogane went to his closet and got his sword.

He walked to the door in anger.

" Where are you going?"

" Getting that kid!" He growled angrily. He walked Jason's house and knocked on it.

" Kurogane, what a- Oh, Um. What's up?"

" You go to Calleigh's house, and meet me there. If you don't, I will find you." He growled and left his house to go to the shop where Calleigh worked.

" Kurogane, what are you doing here? With your sword?"

" Get back home." He said angrily.

" Why, what happened?"

" Something big, something that I didn't hear happen."

He walked back to the house and waited till Calleigh came back to the house worried.

" Where's Fay?" She asked.

" That ass has him. He wants you guys. I have a plan, but I need your guy's help." He said and went into detail about his plan to get his companion, His friend, and most of all, His lover back.

So her's chapter 9, I'm trying to get this in as fast as I can, sorry if It takes to long, I has haveing major writers block.
