Author's Note: You reviewers are so incredibly awesome. I honestly didn't expect such a fantastic response from last chapter- at least not that quickly. Lol. But since you're all so awesome I have another chapter here ready for you. There was a bit of a mental debate on which prank I wanted to post next but I think I want to space out the really good ones so hopefully this chappie lives up to the standards I've set. :) Also, a new chapter of Touch of Ice is on it's way out- promise. Give me just a few more days on that one.

Kurogane was sitting in a nice comfy chair, with a nice hot cup of coffee, and the sports section open and waiting for his attention. The house was quite. Utterly and perfectly quiet. The kids were out doing the shopping this time since Kurogane had nearly killed the mage after he'd figured out what happened last time- not to mention waking up with a tiara on his head and permanent marker squiggles all over his face.

Just thinking about it made his blood pressure rise so he put the thought aside- calmly, and started reading the newspaper all set for a relaxing few hours of silence.

Why on earth would Kurogane expect such a thing given the track record from these previous few days?

Because he was a sneaky ninja. That's why.

'That and I expect the idiot to be stuck in the bathroom until the kids get back.' He grinned appreciatively at his plan.

While the mage was in the shower he'd flicked the lock and grabbed his cloths, hiding them in a loose ceiling tile. Not only that but he'd taken Fai's bag, cloak, everything else from the dresser, and anything of his the skinny man could possibly try to fit into and hid them in other various parts of the house he assumed the other wouldn't even think to look.

He chuckled to himself, relaxing back in the chair to enjoy the day ahead of him.

A few minutes later he heard the bathroom door open and glanced up to a very perplexed looking blond with a towel wrapped around himself in the same fashion girls do. Kurogane rolled his eyes and went back to reading his paper only peeking up every now and again to truly enjoy his little ploy.

Fai mumbled something under his breath as he checked the top of the dresser and then back in the bathroom, clearly wondering how his cloths had just up and walked away. "Strange...they should have been..."

Giving up he started to sort through the drawers only have his face fall deeper into confusion when he couldn't find anything of his after sorting through them. In fact he didn't see anything of Kuro's he could steal in the mean time either. "Hmm." He frowned, eyes scanning one end of the room to other in his search for something, anything, to wear.

His eyes fell on Kurogane who quickly went back to reading his paper without a comment. The mage's eyes narrowed as he walked up to the other.

"This is another prank isn't it?"

The ninja didn't even bother too look up, taking another slow sip of coffee before he answer. "Yep." He replied casually.

"Good, because if it wasn't I'd have to assume you were trying to get me naked."

Kurogane looked up at the other, face carefully blank. "Nope." He took another sip of coffee, preparing to go back to reading. Short answers were best after all, they gave the other less to work with but before his eyes could go back to the article he'd been reading a devious smile crossed the mage's face- a final fleeting sign of warning.

"Good. Then this won't phase you in the least."

Before the ninja could even half contemplate what the words meant the blond dropped his towel and proceeded to do all his usual house work- in the buff.

Kurogane nearly choked on his coffee, slapping a hand across his face to avoid seeing what he was seeing and thanking Kami among all the other gods he could name that the children were still out shopping.

Later that night Kurogane tried very hard to relax in the shower, letting the hot water melt away all the tension of these past few weeks had dumped on him but it just wasn't working. He'd double checked the lock on the door, placing a chair in front of it, and occasionally glancing outside the curtain to make sure his cloths were still there.

'You're being paranoid.' He told himself, taking a deep breath. He was a ninja, a master of stealth and the best in Tomoyo's forces. There was no way in hell that loud mouthed mage was going to get in here and steal his cloths without being noticed- not to mentioned maimed. That and the kids were home, so far they'd had a non-spoken, non-negotiable rule that the kids weren't to be involved in this little battle of theirs and that included not seeing either of them running around in the nude as the result of a prank.

He sighed, mind soothed for the moment, and finished up the rest of his shower in peace. When he finished he found his cloths missing and one of Sakura's little pink dresses sitting on the sink waiting for him.

"That son of a...!"

~ Omake - Cause you were all so awesome about the last one. ~

Off on the other side of the house, far from the tyrannical shouting of the ninja, a mage lay sleeping, his head filled with peaceful dreams of rabid squirrels and bouncing neon green Mokonas. He knew he was perfectly safe letting his guard down despite how angry the other would be, Kurogane was not about to come out here wearing what had been left him- a courtesy on his part, not with the children home anyway.

And if he did... well, Fai always had a backup plan.

'You're not the only one who knows how to make itching powder, my dear Kuro-tan.'

He grinned and rolled back over, snuggling deeper into the red and black cloak he'd oh, so, conveniently found.

Author's Note: If you're interested in seeing the fan art that inspired the Omake in the last chapter please visit the homepage listed in my profile and scroll down to a post titled "best fowends" I totally blame Keiyou-my-sister-beta-chan for that one. Also, if you visit my homepage (it's still new mind you) you'll find a poll in the sidebar in reference to little Kuro and Fai of last chapter. Fan art for this chapter and last chapter coming soon.
