A /N: Hi readers! I'm so happy at the response to my new story! Thanks for everything readers! This chapter is dedicated to…saywhatyouneedtosay for giving me the inspiration for this chapter!

Kurogane woke up with a sick feeling in his stomach. April 1st, Kurogane's least favorite day of the year was here. Every April 1st, he ended up getting pranked by Tomoyo. No matter the circumstance, it always happened. His ninja training had prepared him for knives, arrows, swords, and soldiers. It had not however, prepared him for a crazy princess who happened to be good at trickery. Except this year, she would be undoubtedly joined by a certain blonde haired ex-vampire seeing as he had already left their room this early in the morning and he NEVER woke up early. It was a thought that did not sit well with Kurogane, not one bit.

So, naturally, Kurogane did what he always did when he was nervous or agitated. He trained with Ginryu. But while even in the comforting presence of his sword, Kurogane couldn't help glancing over his shoulder every so often, keeping an eye out for anything that could endanger his dignity. That's why he was so shocked when a pair of hands that seemed to suddenly come out of nowhere clamped themselves over his eyes.

"Guess who Kuro-wanwan?" Fay giggled.

Kurogane scowled. "Go away mage, I'm training."

Fay removed his hands and moved in front of Kurogane. "But Kuro-pipi, you never train this early! I'm bored so come have some fun with me!"

"I'm not stupid. The second you get me inside the castle some bucket will dump some godforsaken substance that turns me blue!" responded Kurogane huffily.

"Oh you're so silly Kuro-daddy! It would turn you red because it suits you much better!"

Kurogane snorted. It wasn't like there was much of a difference. Either way he'd be humiliated and dirty. "Well no way, I'm staying here no matter what you say. At least I'll have a two second warning if I see something hurtling my way."

"Oh alright, I guess my little warrior needs his practice. But at least have a drink of water! It'll keep Kuro-tan from overheating!" Fay pranced off to retrieve a glass of water from an empty bench. "Here, Kuro-sama! Drink up!" Fay thrust the glass in front of Kurogane's nose so violently that some spilled out of the sides.

Kurogane eyed the water suspiciously. The mage certainly seemed eager for him to drink this. Oh well, it was hot and there didn't seem to be anything funny about it. He grabbed the cup from the idiotically smiling magician and drained it in one gulp.

"Well I have to go Kuro-poo! Tomoyo wants to fit me for some new clothes!" Fay kissed the ninja quickly on the cheek and skipped (literally skipped) off to see what girly things Tomoyo could think up for a man.

Kurogane shrugged. He was used to this by now. He just turned his back and resumed training vigorously.

It was a few hours later when Kurogane finally decided to give in to his stomach's whines. He strode into the castle on his way to the kitchens. He had just entered the room when everyone inside burst out laughing. The ninja noticed that they were all pointing and shooting looks at him.

"WHAT THE HELL IS SO FUNNY?!" Kurogane roared.

"Kurogane-san, um…did you look in the mirror this morning?" choked out a chef who was currently trying to hide his laughter behind his hand.

"Why? Is there something on it?"

Another chortling chef held up a shiny pot so Kurogane could see his reflection on it. He let out a roar of fury. His face was covered in ostentatious makeup! His eyes were lined with bright silver liner, bright pink eye shadow was smudged on his eyelids, his cheeks glowed with poorly blended blush, and red lipstick was stained on his thin, chapped lips. How could this have happened? He knew his face hadn't been ruined this morning…What happened? Then it hit him. The over eager face of Fay, the way he practically forced him to drink that water. That bastard must have spiked the water with some kind of potion!

"MAGE YOU BETTER RUN AND RUN FAST BECAUSE I'M GOING TO KILL YOU WHEN I GET A HOLD OF YOUR ASS!" Needless to say that Fay got some pretty good exercise the rest of the day.

A/N: Sorry if this chapter sucked, I have zero experience when it comes to pranks. I'm a goody two shoes. XD See you next chapter readers!
