4A man walked across a field. His narrow eyes looking straight ahead. He had seemingly permanent scowl on his face. When he reached the small house he walked inside. He briefly
glanced at the blond man smiling at him from across the room before going straight into his own room. His door closed and he let sleep claim him. That scowl stayed with him.
"Kuro-sama!" Fai cheerfully greeted the grumpy man.
"What?"
"Kya look what I got for Sakura's birthday!" He swirled around in front of Kurogane before setting a small white cat in front of him. The creature looked around somewhat dizzily before it noticed Kurogane's hand and started to rub against it making the man frown.
"…What if she isn't allowed to keep pets?"
"Don't worry I asked her father and he said it's fine." Fai said smiling happily.
"Why do I ca…. *pause inhale deeply* ….so did you ever have pets?"Fai blinked and figured Kurogane didn't continue his sentence because Fai would always answer that question by teasing him.
"I had one once…it was a fox."(1)
"A fox?" Kurogane asked looking somewhat surprised.
Fai smiled as he remembered his small magical fox. It would always keep him company.
"Yep." He said smiling.
"You thinking of getting any pets now?" Kurogane asked indifferently.
"Maybe…why the sudden interested?"
Kurogane shrugged and said, "Just wondering. This shop just doesn't seem big enough for an animal and you seem like the type that would like to keep something like a dog or cat."
Fai laughed, "Kuro-san my shop isn't as small as it seems. You just haven't seen all of it."
"Just saying because it looks small outside and the few rooms I've been in are small."(2)
"Yes well as I've said you've only seen the kitchen, the living room, and the actual shop."
"You call this a living room?" Kurogane asked pointing at the coach.
Fai laughed and said "Yes I do! Maybe I can give you a personal tour sometime?"
"H-OW!" Whatever Kurogane was about to say was stopped as the cat scratched his hand with its long claws. "Stupid!"
"No kitty-Chan stop that!" Fai grabbed the cat and scolded it lightly.
"That thing scratched me!" Kurogane said looking outraged.
"I'm sorry Kuro-obvious but she didn't mean to hurt you she must have just been playing."
"Whatever I have to go anyways."Kurogane left the house extremely pissed and Fai looked at him worriedly.
'Damn a good chance lost…' Kurogane thought bitterly.
Fai looked at the phone. It had been a few days since he had called Tsubasa Kitchen for an order. He wasn't worried that Kurogane was mad at him. He had other reasons. Fai frowned and put his head in his hands.
"You'll get wrinkles."
*blink* Looking down he saw a small and round animal hopping towards him before jumping up and landing in front of him. "Oh hello Mokona."
"What's wrong Fai?" Mokona asked.
"I was thinking about Kuro-daddy."
Mokona's ears fell down and it looked sadly at Fai.
"Is it okay for me to become this other Kurogane's friend just because I miss Kuro-daddy?"
Mokona kept quiet.
"I suppose it wouldn't do anyone any harm if I just became friends with him…as long as it stays that way." Fai sighed frustrated that he could not talk to Kurogane. He missed the guy.
"Thanks for listening Mokona."
Mokona looked at Fai's sad face before it hugged Fai and told him "I'll be here when Fai needs me to listen."
"Sakura please wait I don't think that's Fai!"
Sakura ran straight towards the blonde-haired person and spun him around only to flush a bright pink.
"Gomensai I thought you were someone else! We've been looking around for him and can't find him and our money is running out..."
The stranger looked at the girl and the determined looking boy that rushed to her side.
"That's quiet all right young lady. You were saying that your money is running out. Why don't you come and work for me?"
Syaoran looked at the man his eyes narrowing slightly. This person had a strange aura.
"I'm sorry sir but we don't know you or where you work at."
"Of course I'm being rude! My name is Kakei (3) and I am the owner of the Green Drugstore. If you would like to work there, I can pay you. Here is the address." Kakei said handing Sakura a card.
"Thank you very much we will think about your offer." Syaoran said still suspicious of the man. The man smiled before walking away.
"Is it not great Syaoran? We already have a place we can work at."
"Yes it is hime I'll visit it tomorrow and see if it's safe you can stay in the apartment."
Sakura looked up at Syaoran before pouting. "I want to come too Syaoran! I want to be helpful!"
"I would feel better if I checked this place out first hime."
"...Okay but if it is safe I'm working there with you for sure." She said determination evident in her eyes.
"Of course Sakura-hime." Syaoran said smiling.
So what do you think? Please review even if it's just short it makes me happy ^-^
1- In the anime Fai's shown with an animal. I think it looked like a fox…I think.
2- Here's the description of Fai's shop ( the parts Kurogane's seen anyways):
At the front is the actual toy shop. The kitchen, living room, and the stair case are at the back behind a door. The rooms are small and close together so the shop seems small inside and looks small outside but as Fai has said Kuro-tan's only seen some of the shop.
Part he hasn't seen:
The back room is all the way at the back of the shop a hallway leads to it from the living room.
3- He is a real clamp character and thats really his job his manga is legal drug.
Sorry I'll try to get better at describing things/stop being lazy and describe it better. T.T Also sorry for the spelling I SWEAR I reread these but I'm terrible at finding errors.
