251 -Awkward Silence Served With Tea-
Part 7
Fai squinted his eyes as the bright sunlight poured through the windows. He slapped his hand over his face as he tried to adjust to the light.
' Did I fall asleep?'
He pulled his fingers through his now tangled mass of blond hair, the memory of the previous night returning to him.
"Kuro-rin?"
He searched the room for the ninja he had fallen asleep with, who had as usually quickly left as if nothing had happened. Fai sighed, searching through his clothes for his waiter's uniform he wore in Outo, because all the fan-girls like that one the best. He poked his head through the door, seeing his three companions seated at a table all enjoying the nice processed cereal they were having, stale and surely left somewhere in the back of a cupboard until this moment. Fai only hid behind the door. He was afraid, he'd surely lost the trust of friends.
' Why did I have to go and do that!"
He thought, which was quickly followed by his memories of bishie school...
"Now class, what is rule number one?..."
" The fan-girls control our fates. We must do as the fan-girls desire. Lest we fall into the back of the shelves of their manga collections."
Yeah, that's right, rule #1. Fai had done it without the fanfic being stuck into the M section, so who the hell cared? Still he hid behind the door, unwilling to face the doom that awaited him. Wow, doom awaits for Fai all over the place lately. Poor guy.
Kurogane and Syaoran sat alone, Sakura having left to go play some Halo 2. Having just killed Kurogane and Syaoran a few rounds, the other two were unwilling to join her. The two sat in awkward silence, the tea before them growing cold as Kurogane lazily watched the steam dissipate. Syaoran mumbled under his breath,
" Kurogane? Is Fai...?"
"Yep."
"And you?"
"Uh..."
"Tell me already!"
"No."
"What do you mean no! I see the things you do with him!"
" How'd you find that out? STUPID KID!"
Kurogane chased him around the house, Sakura screeching at them as they ran past,
" STOP IT! I'M FINALLY ON THE LEVEL WERE YOU KILL THOSE LITTLE PARASITIC FLOOD-WORMIE THINGS! AND YOU'RE BOTH RUINING IT! RUINING IT!"
Kurogane managed to grab Syaoran and bash his head into a wall a few times, Syaoran managed to speak between the collisions of his skull against the hard surface,
" This is child abuse"
" It's not child abuse1 shut up or I'll cut off your fingers!"
Syaoran literally started sobbing right there.
" SHUT UP CRYBABY!"
This time it was Sakura,
" YOUR DISTRACTING ME!"
Sakura brandished a very thin, frail, and deadly fist at them before returning to her game. The two finally managed to calm down.
" As I was saying..."
Kurogane stated,
" Me and Fai do nothing like that."
" What about last night."
" That was an illusion."
" so every night so far has been an illusion?"
"...Yes."
Syaoran was too much a determined ear of corn to understand anything past "Sakura is good". So he dismissed it and went to get his Gerber baby food out of the cupboard for Kurogane to open for him. Kurogane collapsed on the couch, watching Sakura furiously press the buttons on the controller with close to super-human speed.
" Die! Die! Die!"
Sakura yelled, as one after another of the covenant fell. Syaoran pushed the container of baby food towards him,
"Open."
" What!"
"Open."
He said again, pointing suggestively at the container, Kurogane groaned, because god forbid if the big lug had to move, ( sorry Kuro fans maniacal laughter) and tried to pry the cap off, it wouldn't budge.
" ARG! Damn you!"
He tried to wrench it open, but it wouldn't budge, he slammed it down on the table, becoming so frustrated that he pulled out his sword and brought it crashing down on the infernal jar. Not a scratch on it. He angrily threw it to the ground, Sakura picking it up and opening it easily.
" There you go Syaoran."
Kurogane stomped off, his man-pride damaged once again, (wow, that whole ordeal was real similar to that one about the one where they were trying to open the juice. I forgot who wrote that.)
"Fai!"
Fai's head poked through the door,
" Yes, Kuro-tan?"
" Go get the chocolate ice-cream! We have some things to discuss!"
Wow. That was really anti-climactic there. But I suck at endings, so forgive me because you love me. Part 8 to come when I'm not dangling hazardly off the edge of a steam boat.
