II ~ Sacrifice

"W-What do you mean?" Kurogane asked. His tone low and wobbly. Tomoyo removed her hand from the shoulder of the ninja and closed her violet eyes trying to avoid Kurogane's question. She was afraid of his future reaction. "Tomoyo didn't you hear me? What do you mean? Answer me, now!" Kurogane shouted loud and harshly. The fear was growing inside of him and Fai's low gasps of pain were the cause.

"Kurogane now you're exaggerating! See your manners when you talk to Tomoyo-hime!" Souma shouted putting herself in front of the princess.

The ninja faced her with a terrifying expression, forcing her to retreat in her reaction. The young woman couldn't believe in what her eyes were seeing. The only time she saw Kurogane with that kind of expression on his face was when he was desperate with his dead mother in his arms. Right now, Souma was terrified about the future of the ninja.

"It's okay Souma." The princess said looking at her. "Kurogane is just desperate due to this situation." Then, she looked at the ninja and resumed "Kurogane, I cannot guarantee that what I will tell you it's true, I do not have enough evidence to prove it, only you can do it... maybe. However, you have to promise me that after you hear this, you will not become desperate." She warned clearly worried.

"Just tell me!" Kurogane said, once again his voice was loud and strong.

"It can't be helped right? Listen to me carefully Kurogane, Fai-san is doing a sacrifice." Kurogane looked astonished to the princess, and she resumed "Fai-san is giving up of everything that is the most important to him, that way he can ensure the future of someone very, very important to him will not suffer any changes." At this time, the dark haired man couldn't blink or breathe. No, he couldn't react. A sacrifice... The mage was doing a sacrifice.

"Chan-ges?" He asked still perplexed.

"Exactly, Kurogane-san." A very familiar voice said.

The ninja quickly looked up, where the voice was coming, and seeing who it was stood still. However, managed to ask "You… What are you doing here?"

A dark haired male, with one golden eye and another blue smiled and said "I'm just granting a wish that someone asked me to grant, Kurogane-san." His voice was soft yet confident.

Kurogane moved his glance toward the blond mage and remembered the words of the young priest of Clow Koku "Fai-san, please don't do this. If you do, you only will..."

"He… Tell me what was his request." Kurogane said, still looking to Fai's suspended body. He wanted to protect those he loved the most, however Fai was right before him and he could do anything. It was painful having the mage so close yet so far. He was trying… With all his might, he was trying to avoid despair, nevertheless it hurt… It hurt… Hurt so much. His heart was tight. It was suffocating. Asphyxiant. Why?

Watanuki felt a sharp pang on his heart seeing Kurogane's desperate expression. He could sense how hurt the man was. He could sense but... He had to ignore it. For everyone's sake, he had to ignore it. His colorful eyes were closed trying to show a blank expression. He couldn't allow to all there realize how he truly felt. Then, he sighed and said "Fai-san wants that people around him can be happy and live according to what they had planned. Even knowing that he could change the future, Fai-san hadn't allowed himself to do it. If he did it probably he would collapse at any moment, because the guilt he would carry would not let him to be happy ever again in life. Not after everything that certain people made for him." Watanuki opened his eyes again, looking to the reaction of the ninja before his words. Kurogane's red eyes widened in shock. Inside his head he heard Watanuki's words over and over again, yet he couldn't accept them. His mind automatically rejected them.

"These were Fai-san's words, but this isn't the wish I have to grant. At least, not exactly. Do you know Kurogane-san, Fai-san thinks that creating a barrier around his feelings will make others happy, however he forgets that it will cost even more to him and to the person he considers above everything and everyone." Watanuki said studying Kurogane's reaction, and this on the other hand only could listen to his words and stay still.

For long seconds they remained quiet only looking at each other, however suddenly, Fai started to scream in agony as strongly grasped his clothes around his chest preventing that any further lights went out from his body. With a great effort, the blond mage opened his wide blue eyes that were now almost lifeless and saw thousands and thousands of fragments that existed in his heart. Those fragments were about all the travels he made with Mokona, Kurogane, Syaoran and Sakura. Nevertheless, the moments that appeared only had the dark haired ninja and nobody else. It was as if he was living everything again... All the comedy, the sadness, the pain and agony, the compassion, but above all the warm moments. He saw all the times he mocked Kurogane and this one started to ran after him to cut him with his sword, he saw all the fights he had beside the ninja, he saw all the smiles and laughs he had with everyone specially with him, he saw all the pain that Kurogane had when almost lost him, however the moment that made his blue eyes drop painful tears was when Kurogane and him reconciled after all the time they were away from each other.

"It's enough! Stop! Why do you always do everything as you wish? Stop you idiot!" Kurogane shouted. His heart was broken seeing and hearing Fai. He wanted to go and stop the stupid mage himself, however it was impossible so the only thing he could do was shout with all his soul and have hope that all his strong will could reach Fai's soul.

Suddenly, Fai's blue eyes met Kurogane's red eyes and his heart stopped. Did his words reached him? Kurogane's heart started to beat again, but this time he was hopeful.

"Kuro-sama..." Fai whispered with some difficult. He was breathless, his heart was hardly beating. Fai was weak.

"Fai-san, if you continue to resist things only will be more difficult to everyone, especially to you." Watanuki interrupted and the dark haired ninja quickly glanced at him, furious. Hearing Watanuki's voice, Fai grasped with all the strength he had left his clothes over his chest. If he removed his hands, the small shiny lights will began to leave his body again. That was his wish. He had asked that to give happiness to Kurogane, but he was starting to falter before his true wish. As if he could read Fai's mind, Watanuki asked firmly "Fai-san, what is your true wish?"

The blond mage closed his eyes very softly and remembered over and over again all the moments he spent with the ninja, and here it was again the painful sensation all over his being. Then, he opened again his blue eyes and looked into Kurogane's red ones with a forced yet true smile on his pink pale lips and almost whispering said "Goodbye, Kuro-sama."

I'm sorry, I warned you in the beginning T^T

BUT, don't you worry ^^ in the fourth or fifth chap things will start to boil between both (if you understand what I'm trying to say u/u 'omg this is so embarrassing')

Well, I hope you can enjoy in the future, since right now the story isn't so interesting (:
