Thankies, my fellow peeps, for the reviews. Now-- I need reviews and atleast one hug~ *grins* I looooooooooooove hugs~! Anyways-- *coughcough* ...I forgot to put a disclaimer on that last chapter... I think. ( I'm so organized, right? xD ) So-- I'm just going to say that I do not own any of these characters.
The next morning, Fai woke up at the sound of a rough, stern voice yelling, as he did everyday. He stood up quickly, people shifting around him, as they struggled to wake up, ( a few crying about a recent death ). It was morning inspections, where they removed the weaker looking ones. So, before the Nazi could get to him, Fai always brought his hands up to his face to pinch his cheeks. Which brought color to the otherwise pale feature. When the soldier came over to Fai, he took a long glance at him. The man placed placed a calloused finger to the blonde's chin, lifting his head up.
He mumbled something in German to an assistant next to him. Then he turned to Fai, "The Reichsleiter would like to speak with you, immediately." He said, crossing his arms behind his back, before walking off casually. Fai stared after him, before leaving the room. He walked to the Nazi mess hall hesitantly. He had no idea if they would even let him in this time, if he would get shot on the spot for even approaching the building. He tried to stand straight, to make himself look stronger, and more capable-- even straightening out his dirt-stained, striped uniform, and dusting the matching cap on his head.
Lucky for him, though, the soldiers paid no mind to him as he walked across the rocky camp. He caught a glance at Yuui, who was waiting around the fence. His face holding a hopeful expression-- showing the blonde that the gypsy child wanted to tell him something. Fai smiled, before walking up to the large Nazi office. His smile faded, and he swallowed, raising a pale fist to knock on the door-- just as it creaked open, revealing the same red-eyed Reichsleiter from the day before.
The man looked down at Fai with an intimidating glare, before grabbing his arm, and pulling the man roughly inside. "Take a seat--" He said, one of the soldiers pulling out a seat for him. Fai sat down hesitantly, making sure to sit up straight. It had been ages since he'd sat in a realchair, and they were more comfortable than the bed he'd been assigned to, so it was easy for him to slouch comfortably. The Reichsleiter sat down across from him, and gave a sort of growl as he stared down at the papers in front of him. "645-- Fai, I got a call this morning-- from a veryimportant man." He looked up at the blonde across from him. "I've received news from the Führer, he's decided to have you sent over as soon as possible-- he doesn't want his gift getting dirtied up at such a vile place." He stopped to smirk at the blonde's expression, before continuing. "So-- the earliest we can deliver you, would have to be tomorrow morning. We'll be by to pick you up in the morning. Gather any belongings you may have stolen, or smuggled in."
"I-I have no belongings, Reichsleiter, sir...And, just because I'm a homosexual-- it doesn't make make thief." The blonde piped up quietly, looking at the man. His voice sounded light, like the wind, as he spoke.
Kurogane narrowed his eyes at Fai, standing up. The Reichsleiter walked over the blonde and crouched next to him. He told the other Nazis to come back in around an hour, and the soldiers obeyed obediently, rushing out of the room like highschoolers in their last class of the day. He turned back to Fai, giving the blonde a fond look. "Y'know...you'd make an excellent Nazi. That is, if you weren't such a flimsy homosexual. Blonde hair." The soldier twisted a blonde lock between his fingers, before cupping the blonde's cheek, rubbing below his eyes with a thumb. "Blue eyes. Perfect." The blonde shivered, not knowing if it was from disgust, or...pleasure?
The Reichsleiter withdrew his hand, "Tell me a bit about yourself." He said, pulling a seat next to the blonde. "Y-you don't care." The blonde accused bravely, though his courage broke as he heard the man give a laugh. "You're right, I don't. I have absolutely no interest in your miserable life. I just hope we've made it worse." He said, obviously trying to get on the blonde's nerves, who, instead of getting mad, just felt his heart clench.
"Anyways, tomorrow, we're taking you to the Führer's house. I'm sure he'll be delighted to have you so early. Very swell person. My dad knew him in High School." He informed the prisoner, giving a fond laugh at the memory of his father, causing the blonde to blink. He could tell the soldier was in his own world at that moment, he wasn't meant to hear the laugh. He opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off by the Nazi, "Time for breakfast. You're awfully thin." He gave the blonde a smirk, "You'd think they hadn't even fed you."
"Th-they don't feed us much, Reichsleiter, sir." He said, watching as the man stood up and walked into another room. Fai decided that the man had not heard him, which wasn't surprising, seeing as how his voice sounded shy and wispy. It was easy to overlook him when he talked.
The soldier came back, carrying a cup of water and a small meal. He placed it in front of the blonde, and it appeared to be several slices of bread with soup. Fai licked his lips, the last thing he ate was three days ago, since he had given his rations to several small children in the gypsy camp. ( One of them being Yuui. ) He was given a spoon, along with a napkin. He was about to dive into the food, until he was stopped by the soldier, bolding out several white pills. "To keep you healthy. Hitler would kill me if I fail to bring you there alive." The blonde gave him a weird look, glancing at the pills. "If you don't take them willingly, I'll force them down your damned throat, now take them." The ninja threatened, gently shaking his hand, the pills rolled around in his hand, and Fai hesitantly took them. He stared at them warily, before finally stuffing them into his mouth, drinking water to help them go down better.
"Good, Now eat. Then go bathe--" He pointed to a closed door, "Unless you're too damned stupid to know how." He mumbled. "After that is all done, I'll call up the Führer and receive information on what time he'll be there to meet you." He said, taking a seat to flip through several papers. "We're leaving early tomorrow. A couple of things to know," He glanced at Fai, who had finished his meal already, and was working on the water. "The Führer does not like alcohol; You are to act accordingly, Hitler has developed a sort of...unsteady gait, so don't stare." He informed, flipping to another piece of paper. "He hates to be pestered, and has poor anger management. So, if you get on his bad side," The soldier smirked, "He'll probably kill you." The blonde winced as he finished his drink, thinking of how such a horrid man could be respected by so many followers.
Kurogane stopped, "Now, go wash." He said, his eyes losing their dark, and humoured glare, turning serious. "Don't take forever, either." The man warned, watching as the blonde stood up warily, and walked towards the shower room.

Fai had finished just as the soldier dialed in the Chancellor's number. The blonde had changed into a cleaner, washed, pair of a prisoner's uniform. His face had lost its' dirt, and was framed by his wet, golden hair. His blue eyes seemed to shine brighter, as if, they too, had been washed. Fai stood at the doorway of the showers, twiddling his thumbs shyly. The Nazi turned to face the blonde, and was shocked by the angelic appearance, almost developing a slight flush. He coughed, turning back around to look outside the window.
The soldier said something in german, Fai not catching the whole sentence.
A muffled response from the other end of the line.
"Morgen früh."
The muffled sound raised a bit, before dimming.
Kurogane chuckled, "Mein? Nein, Nein."
The voice almost replied to that, but sounded rushed, quickly hanging up, and making a loud, beep, as it did so.
The Reichsleiter waited for a moment, before placing the phone gently on the hook, and turning to the blonde. "Say goodbye to all of your little friends, 'cause tomorrow morning, you'll be gone. Hitler suggested for you to be leaving before daily inspections, so be sure to be awake." The blonde made no response, just nodded solemnly. It was only after he walked out of the place, that he remembered his friend, Yuui. He thought he could see the young gypsy if he'd squinted, and as he walked closer, he saw that the boy was indeed sitting there by the fence. Like an obedient child. "Yuui," The blonde exclaimed, walking to his friend, he crouched down next to the fence, being careful not to touch it, ( due to the electrical currents running through it. ) "I'm leaving, tomorrow." He informed the child, who made a pout.
"Fai, you've already tried that before." His friend spoke, reminding the blonde of the attempted escape plan a few weeks ago, and of the scars he had received on his back from the fence.
"No, I mean-- I'm going to Hitler's house." God, listen to you, Fai. You sound stupid. He told himself, "Im going to be able to live there-- as some kinda gift. I'm sure he wouldn't treat a gift meanly, right?" He asked the younger boy, who nodded.
"And, I just had the idea to take you with me." The Gypsy's face brightened at that.
"Really? Then we could live with eachother, and be happy? And read bed-time stories?" The boy asked excitedly.
The blonde nodded, "Mhm. We could escape together, and I could adopt you as my brother. Then, we can live a happier life. With ice cream, and doughnuts~" He said, trying to give the boy something to look forward to.
"Do you-- Do you think it'd work?" Yuui asked warily.
Fai nodded, "Would I ever lie to you?" He asked.
Yuui pondered that for a second, before finally giving in with a grin. "Thanks, Fai."
"Be up before morning inspection, meet me here." He informed the boy, who nodded once again, before running off.
Fai bit his thumbnail, watching the male disappear. I just hope they'll let me bring you along.
