A/N: Hey! Here's the next chapter! This chapter is dedicated to…The Random Ninja for being the first to review! I don't really like this one as much as the first chapter, but I'll let the readers be the judge of that…

Kurogane was not happy. Fay and Tomoyo had been sneaking around plotting something that had to do with him. He knew it was about him because a few days ago he had walked into the kitchen for a snack and seen the mage and the princess talking animatedly to the staff. He never got to hear what they were talking about because as soon as he had stepped through the door they had instantly stopped talking and had run out of the room. They weren't very subtle people.

This wasn't the only strange occurrence. Today, Kurogane had tried to enter the throne room/main hall only to have the guards stationed there deny him entry.

"What? You know who I am, so let me in!" Kurogane had demanded fixing one guard with his famous death glare.

"We-Well Pr-Princess Tomoyo has asked us to make sure you d-didn't set foot in the throne room t-today," stammered the pathetic looking ninja.

"Where the hell is she?" Kurogane barked.

"She is inside," the other guard had stated simply.

Kurogane cursed. "I'm guessing the mage is in there too?"

"Yes, sir" said the other guard.

"And you're not going to tell me why there in there are you?"

"No sir, Tomoyo specifically asked that you not enter and that you not know what is going on inside."

Kurogane had left in a huff. Now he was pacing inside Fay's and his room trying to think up a reason as to why those two weirdoes would keep him in the dark about something. Maybe they were going to plan a prank on him; it certainly wouldn't be the first time. He shuddered at the thought. Could it be that they were going to make him do something embarrassing stupid in there? Or perhaps he'd forgotten about his and Fay's anniversary and they were angry, but wait no, that was a month ago. God, this was torture! Where was his sword? He needed to take his anger out on something.

Kurogane's frustration went on throughout the rest of the evening. When Fay finally pranced into the room Kurogane looked up from where he was sitting. When he saw who it was, he glared.

"Aww Kuro-myu, what's the matter?" Fay dropped onto Kurogane's lap sporting one of those irritating "I know something you don't" smiles.

"Well I don't know, it might just be the fact that my boyfriend and my princess are sneaking around behind my back, plotting something that is sure to bring me some kind of humiliation and/or discomfort, and my name is NOT Kuro-myu!" replied Kurogane while he stared angrily at Fay.

Fay giggled. "Oh Kuro-sama, I'm sure you'll love it when you find out!"

"I'm sure I won't, but I'm also sure you'll make me go through with it no matter what," Kurogane complained. "Anyway, when will I get to see what you two are up to?"

"Kuro-tan! You sound like a five year old! You'll find out in good time…namely tomorrow so let's go to sleep so your surprise will be that much sooner!" and with that Fay jumped up, blew out the lamps, and laid down next to his ninja. "Nighty night!"

"G'night," replied Kurogane gruffly.

The next morning Kurogane woke up to find Fay an inch from his face, staring into Kurogane's eyes in anticipation. He reacted as any normal person would; he immediately scooted back as far away from the magician as possible.

"Finally, wow you sleep late for a ninja!" exclaimed Fay. He yanked Kurogane to a standing position, ran to their dresser, and started flinging random clothes out to him. Fay, Kurogane noticed, was already dressed, in girls' clothes, but Kurogane never won that battle so he didn't mention it.

After cleaning up Fay's mess and changing into a simple black yukata and a red obi, the couple finally started making their way down to breakfast.

"Wait! Breakfast is in the main hall today," said Fay, dragging Kurogane away from the dining hall and down the hall towards their (mainly Fay's) destination.

"Okay Kuro-pon, go ahead in!" Fay didn't wait for an answer and before Kurogane could react, Fay pushed him through the double doors and into…

"SURPRISE!"

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!" shouted Kurogane, momentarily blinded by the bright lights in the room. When he could finally see he saw Tomoyo, Amaterasu, Souma, and most of the castle's inhabitants holding noisemakers and whatnot.

Fay came up behind him "It's your birthday party silly! Tomoyo told me it was your birthday today! How could you not tell me yourself! I felt so neglected! But I decided to forgive you and throw you a wonderful birthday celebration!"

Kurogane just stared in shock. Leave it to Fay to do something extravagant like this. He'd purposely tried to avoid this by not telling the blonde his date of birth. The ninja hadn't counted on Tomoyo intervening. Even so, it was extremely nice of his mage to do this even if it wasn't Kurogane's style. Not that he'd admit that or anything…

"Well Kuro-puu, do you like it?" Fay asked when Kurogane hadn't said anything.

Kurogane turned and said "It's alright".

Fay gave everyone an encouraging look. "That means he likes it!"

Kurogane chuckled and dragged his lover into the room to celebrate...maybe this party wouldn't be so bad.

A/N: I honestly don't know why, but I didn't think this one was as good as the last one. Oh well, it was longer at least. Also, can anyone think up a theme for the next chapter? If ya can it might make me update faster!
