"One of these days I swear…I'll get back everything…one of these days…" The voice was clear and filled the silence of the room. After being trapped for so long his mind was becoming slightly unstable. No one came in or out of the room anymore, they just slid things through the door.

"One of these days…"

Kurogane could feel the light on his face before being replaced by something long. He grunted and muttered about the bad condition of the curtains, if you could call them that, and how his nose hurt. The ninja brought an arm up to shield his eyes from the bright light to find a long, pale arm across his face.

The magician turned slightly on the floor where he'd rolled onto, removing his arm from the ninja's face. He muttered something while turning onto his front again, sliding slightly under the bed.

"Stupid idiot." The raven haired man yawned before getting a good look at the position the mage was in. The blonde had managed to get his head firmly wedged under the bed, with his hair caught on the springs. Kurogane sighed and turned to the door as a little white visitor poked inside.

"Fai! Kuro-pon!" It cried as it tried to jump across the room, only to land on the grumpy male's face.

"Moko-chan you shouldn't barge into their room." Sakura muttered as she made an attempt to grab the little bun only to fail and fall across the ninja's waist. "S-so-sorry…K-Kurogane-san…" She stammered as she scrambled back to a safe distance by the newly awoken Syaoran.

"Fai!" The bun cried out again.

"Huh?" The mage had obviously just woken up by the tone of his voice. Soon a loud thump came from where the blonde's head had made contact with an iron pole. "Owwwwww…" He moaned while trying to rub his head, only to catch more of his hair in the springs. Fai muttered something in his native language which the group assumed were curses to the bed.

"Fai's all caught up." Mokona remarked as it ventured to try and help infuriated magician.

Kurogane groaned and fell back onto the floor, he always hated mornings but this was possibly the worst he'd had. Sakura smiled at the group even with Fai calling out various things from under a bed and Kurogane trying to fall through the floor, the group had never been closer.

"Breakfast I think." She announced and dragged her brunette friend down the stairs, hitting each step with a thud.

"Mokona that's hurts." Fai wailed as the white creature attempted to free his friend again.

"Mokona can't do it…" The bun crawled out from under the bed and stared at the tall man.

"Fine...You go eat and I'll sort him out…" Kurogane huffed as it watched the roly-poly bun waddle out. "I thought you didn't move in your sleep."

"I don't…I was awake all right…then I got lonely…" The muffled reply came.

The ninja rolled his eyes and stood up next to the old bed. "Don't wail and make sure you sit up slightly." He ordered before lifting on side of the bed up to see the mage had well and truly got complete stuck.

"I hate bed springs now…" Fai whined as the ninja started trying to untangle the blonde locks from the metal coils.

Kurogane laughed slightly at the magician who was pouting with his arms folded.

"Next time don't roll around the floor." The raven haired man remarked. Fai snorted at the idea. "You're all done now."

"Thanks…" Fai reached out a wrapped his arms around the taller man, hugging him slightly. "It means a lot…" He whispered into the man's neck.

"Just don't get used to it around the kids." The ninja's voice was softer than normal.

"Fai-san! Kurogane-san!" Syaoran called up the stairs.

"I'm starving!" Fai leapt to his feet, dragging a shocked warrior with him, and raced down the stairs.

"You're sure hungry Fai-san." Sakura noted as she handed the plates out before taking her seat next to Syaoran.

"I guess you could say that Sakura-chan." Fai smiled brightly at the now beaming princess.

'If those two were smiling any more they'd be able to light up a whole town' the ninja thought as he watched the Mother-daughter pair from his seat.

Mokona was busy stuffing its mouth with various foods from the many dishes that were laid out.

"Are you going out to look?" Kurogane asked the teen who was quietly reading a book he'd found in the house.

"Yes. Mokona said it was moving closer and I think its best to find it then get out of here." Syaoran replied from behind his book.

"Are you two coming?" Sakura asked, glancing Fai up and down, with a worried look.

"I think its best we don't." Fai replied with a slight look of regret in his eyes. His smile had dropped to a weak one.

"I think so too." The princess agreed as she gave the mage a reassuring smile.

"Syaoran! Sakura! It's moving!" Mokona called out as the two teens were leaving the home. It jumped up and down on the girl's shoulder while pointing in a various direction.

"We'll be back later." Syaoran bowed as he led the princess and the 'pea' along the path.

"So Kurogane…you want to talk about something right?" Fai held the little bird on his index finger while feeding it a few bread crumbs with his free hand.

"Maybe…" The ninja spoke absent mindedly as he watched the last glimpses of the group leave over the hill. "…It depends what your about to do." The dark haired male fell into a nearby chair.

"Hmmm…" Fai agreed as he watched the small feathered friend hop along the counter. "I guess it does…" The magician gave his companion a sly smile before walking up to the chair.

The bird chirped merrily as it hopped into a bowl of water, glancing at the two in the room.

"You like birds then…" Kurogane muttered as he looked up at the blonde.

"One of my close friends used to have a bird. Birds are free, they don't worry about trivial things, and they just fly on if they don't like a place…" The mage replied before sliding onto the ninja's lap and wrapping his arms around the taller man's neck. "I'd love to be a bird…" He whispered into the dark haired man's ear.

"Maybe you can one day. You can be free and go where you want." Kurogane smirked slightly as the bird flew across the room to land on Fai's hand.

"Someday…"

"No one of these days you will…I swear…"
