251This one I found to be little less comedic than the previous ones, I kinda need this chapter to be serious so I can bring out all the little complications and developing feelings their getting for each other (yes, there's going to be SakuraxKurogane and your going to choke it down and bear through it eventually. Not in this chapter though, we save that fun for later.) Anyways, a bit more angsty meaningless stuff, lots of whining and talking about feelings and the fact that Fai seems to drink a glass of estrogen every morning for breakfast. Try and bear with me until we get through a few more chapters and I can start bringing this thing to it's full potential, though I'm scare what that potential might be.
Part 8
Other than Kurogane grimacing a lot and Fai stuffing himself with chocolate ice cream, their "serious discussion" hadn't gone too far yet. In fact, with Kurogane's attention span and Fai's blatant disregard for everything they probably wouldn't be doing much else for some time.
" Eating so much is going to make you fat, you know."
Kurogane said, watching Fai devour all the ice cream in sight with superhuman speed.
" I have to! You people stress me out all the time! Especially that Sakura!"
He said this while pointing his chocolate-covered spoon at Kurogane,
"she's a total whack job, you notice that? I mean , I know she's a princess and Syaoran's one true love and all that, but when's that girl just going to die? Humanity's had to deal with her for a two animes and a whole collection of manga, and still she is an underdeveloped little " perfect look I'm so happy all the time" kind of thing"
He paused to catch his breath, and continued,
"And then Syaoran! That kid is like an emotionless little boy! I mean, and what's up with his eye? I wonder if you poke it he would feel it or anything, maybe he should get a little monocle just like that Hakkai guy, yeah, but I don't think it would exactly work on him now that I think about it, maybe he should-"
Kurogane simply glared at him,
" Fai. Shut up."
The two fell into their unusual awkward silence once again, only glancing up occasionally, Kurogane's stern crimson eyes meeting Fai's pale blue every so often. Kurogane sighed, shifting uncomfortably on the bed littered with ice-cream containers. He attempted to speak again,
" I know things have been...frustrating lately, and we've been all traveling with each other for some time."
Fai nodded in agreement before Kurogane continue,
" And I know sometimes you develop..feelings...for people, but, you see, Fai..."
Kurogane brought his hand to his face, why is all this responsibility being dropped on one poor ninja?
" When you say you love someone, you gotta be dedicated to them, you can't go off with just anyone and do what you want. You just have to fight off your desires."
Kurogane was feeling very uncomfortable just telling Fai, " Hey don't make out with Syaoran or I'll dismember you in your sleep."
" You see, Syaoran, he already has someone he loves, okay? That's Sakura, and everyone wants to be with the one that they love, so what do you think you should do Fai."
Fai got that soft, sympathetic look in his eyes as the warm smile returned to hi face,
" Kill Sakura."
"NO!"
Kurogane screamed, groaning and falling over unto the bed, all together giving up with trying to teach Fai some morals.
" You don't have to KILL her, okay? Fai, tell me who it is you really love."
Fai looked down, his eyes fixed on the half-eaten ice-cream.
" You, Kurogane."
Kurogane shut his eyes, he wasn't very confident in Fai's sense of right and wrong, or really just him in general. Fai at the time was thinking something along the lines of " I think I really like celery, it doesn't have much of a taste, but I think I like it."
Kuroagane still lay on his back on the ice-cream stained bed,
" So if you love me, why did you kiss Syaoran?"
Fai pulled the spoon out of his mouth,
" Because I wanted to see what it was like."
" What kind of stupid excuse is that?"
"Well, you see, it's like this..."
Fai started to speak but Kurogane only groaned in a whiny tone, Fai getting angry at Kurogane's lack of respect,
" Well fine! I won't tell you, how's that! If your not going to listen I'm not gonna bother!"
He turned away from Kurogane, equally frustrated and childish.
" We won't solve anything acting like this,"
Kurogane stated, blatantly staring at the ceiling.
"So then what do you suggest, oh-mighty-ninja-Kuro-tan?"
Kurogane propped himself back up, his black spiky hair disheveled,
" We promise right now, from this day forward, that we will be the only people for us."
Fai smiled,
" Okay."
The two shook hands on it, Kurogane's getting covered in ice-cream.
And then came the next morning...
Kurogane's alarm clock rung, the sailor moon theme song playing loudly in his ears.
" Oh shut up, Serena!"
He slammed his fist down on her bun-head. (Yes, I'm an ex-sailor moon fan, ah the old days.)
He ran his fingers through his hair, and got up, checking to see that Fai was still peacefully asleep, the drool running down his face. Kurogane smiled at him before leaving the room, shutting the door quietly as not to disturb him. He closed his eyes, still smiling, and then left for the kitchen to see if someone had made breakfast, which since Fai was asleep he expected that no one had. He entered the room, to his surprise finding Sakura making breakfast.
" Oh, hi Kurogane!"
She said, waving to him sweetly as she flipped over one of the pancakes,
" Do you want some breakfast? I'm just about finished."
Kurogane blinked, surprised that she hadn't waited for Fai to make it as he usually did. He sat at the table, Sakura placing al kinds of nice-looking things in front of him. Kurogane felt pity for the girl, he didn't expect her cooking to be very good. The only thing he'd ever seen her excel at was talking to cactus and whirlwind-things and gambling. He picked the thing up (with chopsticks of course, we've all seen Kurogane's "creative" way of using a knife and fork. For those who haven't, your not trying hard enough.)He closed his eyes and stuffed the foreign substance into his mouth...
Dear god, It's...it's GOOD!
Kurogane hastily consumed all the rest of Sakura's hard work as she has "slaved over a hot stove all day".
I mean, Fai was really good at cooking, but Sakura's even better!
Sakura watched in horror, Kurogane was like some kind of breakfast-eating monster. He finished, immediately calling out for more. Syaoran finally tore himself from his Cosmo Girl magazine, seeing that Kurogane and Sakura were like, you know, talking to each other and he wasn't there. He got up from the couch,
" Hey! Kurogane! Get away from my woman!"
He chucked the magazine at him, chasing him away with gnashing teeth
"RARRRRR!"
Kurogane retreated to his room again, shutting the door behind him, breathing heavily,
" What is wrong with that kid!"
Fai was awake now, staring at Kurogane from the bed wondering what all the screaming was about and why he'd run in here for shelter,
" Is World War II coming to get us?"
He said, hiding beneath the sheets.
" No,"
Kurogane said., though he also feared that this World War II they've heard about was really mean and probably stalking them. They said he killed a lot of people, and Kurogane wondered why the authorities never tried to make an arrest.
" It's not World War II, Syaoran's just getting all possessive again."
Kurogane looked at Fai, his pale face and blue eyes so innocent, his blond hair falling delicately around his face. He really didn't like him as much as he used to.
" I'm gonna go for a bit, Fai-san..."
Fai's smile left his face, realizing Kurogane's sudden dis-interest with him. Kurogane left agian, slamming the door shut, leaving Fai alone.
" Goodbye to you too, Kurogane..."
Chapter 9 will be up, as soon as I stop being depressing and maybe give Fai a chance, I love Fai so much, why am I so mean to him!
