Three long days past since Syaoran went out to hunt for that demon, but had no luck with finding it. Eventually he got tired and homesick, so he decided to head back.
As he stepped into his house that he hasn't seen in a long time, he found that Kurogane and Fai were sitting next to each other on the couch with Mokona sleeping beside the blonde.
"Hey guys, I'm back." he announced when he closed the door and threw his bag onto the floor. "Welcome back." Fai said looking up. It wasn't a cheerful welcome like you would expect, but then again Syaoran expected him to be a little moody.
"Why exactly did you want to go out alone?" Fai asked quietly as he looked down, eyeing Syaoran from the corner of his eyes.
"Oh...No reason." As the kid answer, Mokona's head lit up and caused a sky rift. Yuuko then appeared once again with no warning.
The three looked over at her, all wondering why she was there. By this time Mokona had woken up, and looked up as well.
"I have secured Sakura's dead body, all that needs-" Syaoran held up his hands quickly, and Kurogane cursed under his breath. "Uhh! Not the best time, Yuuko-san!" the kid quietly tried shutting her up, waving his hands all around.
Fai narrowed his eyes and stood up, looking towards Kurogane and Syaoran. He made sure to glare at them before turning to Yuuko. "What did you mean by that?"
Syaoran moved his hands like a spas, hoping that the witch would get the hint. "Sakura was killed by a demon, and her soul was transferred to a different place." She explained, obviously not getting the hint.
Fai's eyes widened for a second, then narrowed in anger. "Why didn't you tell me?!" He shouted, now turned to Kurogane and Syaoran again. "Why did you keep it a secret from me, and worse, lie about it?!"
Syaoran walked up to him and lightly placed a hand on his shoulder, hoping it would calm him. "Fai-san-"
Fai jerked away from his touch. "Don't I have a right to know?! She means as much to me as she does to you!" Kurogane stepped up.
"Listen, it was for your own safety." He stood behind Syaoran and placed a hand on his cocked hips.
"Damn fucking right! You don't care about me at all! You just always...think..." he started to calm down a little when he felt his head get dizzy and his legs get weak. "You.." he suddenly couldn't see very well.
"Are you okay?" Syaoran asked. Fai couldn't handle the weight of his body and his knees buckled, making him fall to the ground. "Fai-san!" Syaoran called out, catching him before he fell. Kurogane tried to react and catch him first, but Syaoran was closest to him. He just bent down next to them.
"I'm sorry..." Fai said softly, closing his eyes tightly from the pain. Worry spread across Syaoran's face. "This is the third time. There is something really wrong, Fai-san..." he said in a terrified voice.
Kurogane slipped his arm around Fai's shoulders, then picked him up from under his legs, carrying him bridal style. He turned around as Syaoran hastily stood to his feet. "Where are you going?" he asked a little confused. The ninja didn't answer him, just briskly made his way to Fai's room.
When he got to Fai's room, that seemed darker than usual, he gently laid Fai on his bed. He knew it was too early to go to sleep, but he also knew that Fai needed to be forced to rest.
"Fai..." Kurogane started to say something quietly, but he wasn't sure what to say at that moment, he just knew that his mind wanted him to say something. The magician looked up at him, waiting for a response.
"You...You really should learn to control your emotions." Well that wasn't what he wanted to say. Fai glared at him a bit, but it was a worn out glare.
"I know it's hard...But you have to calm down or you're going to make yourself sicker, or the child might die.."
'There he goes again,' Fai thought, 'only thinking about his child.'
"Are you worried that he won't survive?" Fai asked.
"Well yeah...And I'm worried that you won't either." Fai almost lost his calm face, but he held strong. 'He finally admitted he is worried about me...'
Kurogane stood up. "You know I don't normally ask someone like this...But please...Take it easy. Don't get up until your body completely regains strength and your mind can handle the news about Sakura." That's right, Fai almost forgot about that. The blonde looked away with a sad expression. It's just so hard to believe that she's really gone.
The ninja walked out of the room so Fai could be alone, which he really needed at that moment. He shut the door and looked to his left. Syaoran was standing by the door.
"Kurogane-san..Is Fai-san going to be alright?" he asked in a low voice. Kurogane looked away, turning his body to go the other direction. He took two steps, then stopped. "He's strong. He'll be fine." After he said that he walked back into the living room so he could calm himself down.
