Okay this has some slight spoilers to the ending of Tsubasa…. That's why this is technically a tribute. I'll just warn you now, I was really disappointed with it, but hey that's me and we all have our own opinions on things… anyway enjoy if you've read the end, and if you haven't the don't flame me for spoilers its not my fault you didn't read this.
Love Struck
Disappointment
"And the Journey that had stretched on for years, crossed dimensions, and through perilous dangers was finally at an end." Fai read aloud, ending with a relieved sigh as he closed the book. It had taken him a while but he had finally finished it all.
"That's the end?!" A small voice cried, followed closely by a much deeper one.
Fai smiled, his blue eyes meeting with a pair of red ones, as he snuggled into the warm 'pillow' at his back. He chuckled lightly knowing how upset Kurogane would be if he heard Fai compare him to a pillow of all things. "Yup that's the end!" He said cheerfully. "Isn't it wonderful?"
"No it wasn't!" The small voice snapped, small hands clenching the material of the blanket beneath him.
Fai frowned, tilting his head to the side. "I thought it was a good ending…" He mumbled, with a pout.
"That's because you're an idiot. That was a very horrible way to end that…" The deep voice commented from beside him.
"Yeah! Dad's right Daddy! You can't just leave it off right there!" The small blond boy cried, obviously furious with the ending of the book.
Fai glanced between his son and his husband, before he crossed his arms over his chest. Although it was a bit awkward with the book still in his gasp. "You guys just don't know a good story when you hear one."
A deep growl resounded by his ear. "Bullshit, I know a good story when I hear one, and with an ending like that, that book doesn't count as one." Kurogane snapped. "Right, Yuuri?"
"Right!" Yuuri cried, with a nod of his head, red eyes ablaze, and his blond hair falling into his eyes. "You can't just end it right there! It's bullshit!"
"Yuuri!" Fai cried. "You know better then to use grown up words." He scolded.
"But I'm nine already~!" Yuuri whined his voice taking on the tone Fai would often use against Kurogane when he wanted something.
"Yes and you're my big grown up boy. You can't use words like that until you're my big grown up man." Fai said, reaching over and patting his sons blond hair.
Yuuri pouted, but waved a hand in the air to dismiss the topic at hand. "Anyway does it really end there Daddy?" His red eyes fixed Fai with the best puppy-dog look he could manage.
"I'm afraid so." Fai said, showing Yuuri and Kurogane the last page of the book. "What didn't you like about it?" He asked, addressing them both. He personally had liked the ending…
"It just kinda cuts off…" Kurogane mumbled, setting in chin on top of Fais head. "Too many unsolved questions…"
"What happened to then afterwards? Did they get out of there or were they hit by an earthquake and the whole thing collapsed on them?" Yuuri asked with a roll of his eyes, sarcasms heavy in his voice.
Both Fai and Kurogane chuckled. Yuuri had a very vivid imagination.
"Well… If you guys didn't like the ending, because it didn't explain anything, how about we make up our own ending?" Fai suggesting.
Fai felt Kurogane shrug behind him, but Yuuris eyes lit up with excitement. "Yeah lets do that!" He cried.
"Okay but lets make it to where they don't all die in a horrible earthquake, alright."
Yuuri nodded. "Okay, well I think that Knight(1) and Cherry Blossom(2) should end up together! They've been through so much, I think they deserve to be together!"
Kurogane nodded behind him. "Yeah… I think that too… They're going to need each other to get over the loss of their counterparts."
"Well what about Yui and Black Steel?" Fai asked, flipping through the book.
"Well they get together as well; of course, it was kinda hard to miss that something was going on between the two of them…" Kurogane said with a roll of his eyes.
"What?" Yuuri cried, looking shocked. "B-but they're both guys!"
Kurogane and Fai stared at their son, (and not their adopted son, either, mind you) and in union raised an eyebrow at him.
Yuuri blushed and looked down at the blanket. "S-sorry…." He mumbled.
Fai smiled, and petted his son's hair. "Its alright, we know that most people don't have parents of the same sex."
"Okay so we know that Knight and Cherry Blossom get together as well as Yui and Black Steel…" Kurogane said, easing the tension in the room.
"Does Cherry Blossom meet up with her brother again?" Fai asked looking between Kurogane and Yuuri.
Both of them nodded at the same time. "Of course, they had to go meet with him so he could get the High Priest to send Black Steel and Yui back to Nihon."
"Wait, aren't Black Steel and Yui going to stay with Knight and Cherry Blossom?" Yuuri asked, looking at his dad confused.
Kurogane scoffed. "No of course not. Black Steel might have taken a liking to the kids but he still has to go back to his own world. And since him and Yui are together it's only natural that he come along as well."
Yuuri frowned for a second. He didn't like the thought of Black Steel and Yui not staying with Knight and Cherry Blossom, but he had to admit that his dad had a point.
Fai noticed the look on Yuuris face. "Well if they do go back to Nihon I'm sure that it's possible for Princess Purple(5) to find a way for them to communicate through the dimensions."
Yuuri nodded, apparently happy with this ending after all. "And then they both go back to Nihon and raise children and Knight and Cherry Blossom do the same, and they still keep in contact with each other after all those years." Yuuri concluded with a curt nod of his head.
Fai chuckled at his sons antics, and glanced at the clock. "Oh my goodness!" he gasped. "It's this late already? Its time for your bedtime Yuuri."
Yuuri groaned, but laid down in his bed, and waited for sleep to take him as his parents left the room.
"I must say, I rather liked that ending." Fai said with a smile, as he closed his sons bedroom door, and turned towards Kurogane.
"Yeah who knew he'd have it down almost exactly how it happened…" Kurogane mumbled, leaning against the wall.
Fai smiled, but it was a sad one. "Well he got the 'raise children' part, on our end anyway… but not so much on the communication part…" he whispered sadly.
Kurogane frowned, feeling his heart clench in his chest.
"I miss them Kurogane…." Fai whispered, leaning his head on Kuroganes chest, as tears burned his eyes, threatening to fall.
Kurogane wrapped his arms around Fai and pulling him in closer. "I know… I miss them too. They will always be our children, no matter how many years go by. And one of those years we are going to find a way to reach them again. I promise."
1)Knight- Syaoran.
2)Cherry Blossom- Sakura
3)Yui-…if you don't know by now should you even be reading this?
4)Black Steel-Kurogane
5)Princess Purple- Tomoyo (don't ask… I'm not sure what her name translates to anyway.)
Umm… just let me know if you're confused by any of this and I'll try to explain it as best as I can.
