Fye closed his eyes and recalled as many memories as he could of the recent Kurogane, anything out of the normal, and anything that might explain what had happened… But no matter how much he dwelled on the subject nothing came into focus. The only difference he had detected had been last night, when Kurogane seemed concerned. That itself was hardly reason to faint though.

Well whatever had caused it had obviously already taken its toll, Fye could think of nothing better to do then sit with the ninja and await his awakening. He wondered how Kuro chi might react when he heard he had fainted, Fye imagined it in his own slightly twisted way and smiled sadly…'Kuro tan…please wake up…'

- A dream continued

"Hey! Over this way!" there was a shout coming from around the ally corner. "I found someone."

"Is this something worth our while… or just another one of your false alarms?" a man in uniform walked towards the other voice.

"No, no this is defiantly one you'll want to look at." Both men now soon stood facing a cement wall with a passed out teenage boy leaned against it.

"I see nothing special about him... he just looks pathetically wasted if you ask me." The second man spat at his slightly younger assistant.

A smile jerked onto the young man's face. "look closer, there…on his neck, you can see some of what might be."

"What are you babbling about?" he leaned in to see what the other had noticed. Taken back in shock the man recognized the very end of a sacred tattoo creeping around the shoulder of the passed out lad. "Could it be... it can't be! Someone this young has never before been sealed like this, no one this young has ever had the power to need one. We must take him! Get him off the streets and under security as soon as possible, before he wakes up."

The older man looked as if he had just seen the devil himself, grabbing the passed out boy and throwing him over his shoulder he thought. 'let's pray he doesn't wake up'

The boy was covered in dirt; he was only of the age of maybe 15… 17 at the absolute most, his long blond bangs were tattered and his cloth looked as if they hadn't been changed in months.

He was brought to the castle still un awaken and placed in a small cell, the bars cursed with a glowing magic and guards placed at each end of the long hall. It was here that the boy awoke.

Rubbing his head "Where am I?" he asked blankly without even realizing that there was no one there to ask.

He tried to recall, he was being chased by a couple of guards for stealing some fruit but he remembered getting away, he had lost them. But then why was he in a cell? Had they caught up again, he wondered and wrapped his mind around every possibility. But after sitting for a rest in the ally he couldn't remember anything, nothing.

"Hello? Is anyone there?" He walked closely to the bars and yelled…"why am I here, who are you, what do you want?"

A dark and sinister voice seemed to appear from no were. "I think a better question is 'what are you?"

Kurogane opened his eyes and lifted his palm in front of his face. 'What the hell…another weird dream?' His forehead was slightly sweating and he had

no recollection of how or when he had gone back to sleep… because he remembered waking up.

"Kuro pon? Are you okay?" he heard an irritatingly concerned voice coming from beside him.

"hn…" he replied as if that were a stupid question, of coarse he was alright, since when was sleeping a sign of illness?

After a few seconds of thought the dream's visions hit him and he jerked his head to look Fye in the eyes. "You… idiot, why were you thrown in a cell?" Kurogane still sounded like he might be dazed.

"Excuse me Kuro puu? I'm not sure I know what you're talking about." A smile grew on the wizard's face.

"You know damn well, when you we're younger… why were you…" his speech stopped and his thoughts trailed off. He seen the mage's expression and studied it up and down… the smile was there but it wasn't like all the others. Sure it was still fake but there was something else… almost as if he had been caught but was pleased about it.

"How did you know Kurogane?" the smile didn't even flicker… it was holding strong.

The large man knew something was defiantly wrong now, the idiot had used his FULL name… something must be terribly wrong for something like that to occur. It was funny, no matter how many times he had wished for his full name to be used… now that it had been he only wished that it hadn't.

"It was a vision, a dream I've been having, seeing things about you and your life." He hesitated to admit that. "I haven't actually seen that much… so fess up, what was with the cell?" his voice now sunken back into it regular tone.

Fye smiled… but his eyes told a whole different story. "Kuro muu, if you're seeing it for yourself then what need is…" his words were interrupted when Sakura entered the room.

"Kurogane san!" se said happily. "I'm so glad you're awake!" the princess ran to him and looked like she was resisting to the temptation to hug him.

Sayoran soon after walked in the door, "I just filled her in, she was very worried about you. Are you okay?" his gaze was fixed on kurogane.

"What? Why is everyone asking me that?" he said in a sigh as if he could care less what the answer was.

"You, you fainted… in the kitchen. Didn't Fye san tell you?" Sayoran looked oddly at him.

"I WHAT?"… His emotion changed from drowsy so confused and then very quickly to anger and embarrassment. His face displayed his emotion clear as day. "Why didn't you tell me sooner idiot" he looked to were Fye had been sitting but he wasn't there anymore… were did that skinny bastard run off to now?

Remember, if you want more review wink wink

And also, regarding the dreams… they're all going to be in chopped blocks like that and not so flowing… you'll just have to trust that Fye will later fill in the gaps.
