A/N: Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't updated lately! Since I finished my other story, Girl Next Dormitory, hopefully the updates will come sooner. Except, I haaave had few other plot bunnies running around my head for another KuroFay ficy….Oh well, Enjoy!

Kurogane woke with a start. He had been taking a peaceful midday nap during his day off under his (and now Fay's) favorite sakura tree when a large shadow shielded the sun from his closed eyelids. Being the ninja he was, the lack of light immediately made him aware of someone standing over him. He could sense that it was Fay (the damn mage's aura was practically pulsating with energy)…and something else. Instead of jumping up and yelling at the mage for disturbing his rest, he decided to play sleep….at least until Fay decided to pounce on him. That was, until he felt something soft, yet slightly rough on his nose.

His crimson eyes, still blurry from slumber, jerked open. They started searching furiously for the offender to his nose. His eyes crossed when he noticed the small, wet nose in front of his. Eyes trailing upwards, the nose connected to a small snout, to a pair of gleaming black eyes, and finally, to two pointy black ears. The ninja let out a roar of shock while he scrambled hastily up to his feet. Now, he saw that the small black and brown puppy (1) was being held in the hands of what Kurogane considered the sugar rush on legs known as Fay D. Fluorite.

"Kuro-sama! Look who Tomoyo found while traveling!" He stroked the dog's ears lovingly, and in response, the black puppy growled contentedly. "Isn't he just too cute?! He reminds me of my Kuro-wanko!" He looked up at his boyfriend hopefully with his bright, sparkling sapphire eyes.

"I told you idiot! Don't pervert my name like that! And no, I don't think he's that cute!"

The puppy jumped down from the blonde's arms, settled himself protectively in front of Fay, and growled at Kurogane. Fay laughed his light, bell-like laugh. "Well well, Kuro-pon, it seems that little Kuro-puppy doesn't like when you're mean to me!"

"Like hell I care. Anyway stupid, it's time for dinner." The black clad warrior made to put his arm around Fay's shoulder, but the little dog yipped and yapped loudly and latched his small mouth to his cloak from behind, trying to keep the raven-haired man away from his teasing master. Fay laughed again.

"Oh Kuro-puppy really doesn't like you!" Fay exaggerated his movement a few steps away from his lover to calm the black doggie. Kurogane frowned his disapproval at this action. Fay, seeing his expression, giggled and said, "It's okay Kuro-myu, I'm sure that Kuro-puppy will like you soon! After all, you look alike, you're protective, and you both love ME!"

"DON'T COMPARE ME TO A STUPID DOG MAGE! AND YOU ARE NOT CALLING THE ANIMAL THAT!" Kurogane started chasing Fay down the path leading to the castle while the mage kept yelling his happiness that the ninja hadn't denied his love for him. The puppy attempted to keep up with the couple, but since it was young, only managed to keep up with tan man's heels.

KUROFAYKUROFAY

The rest of the day was spent with a lot of growling around Fay. The two men finally retired to their bedroom with their new dog in tow. Kurogane vehemently refused to acknowledge their new pet which aggravated the poor puppy even more.

"Aww, I think Kuro-pipi is jealous of me paying so much attention to the new addition to our family!" yawned the skinny man as he stretched out, fully relaxed, on their futon. The four legged menace (in Kurogane's opinion) snuggled himself right next to the blonde.

The Japanese man grunted. "No way in hell, am I jealous of that stupid dog. I'll just be happy that you won't give me as much attention now!" He laid himself on Fay's other side so as not to encourage the little beast to bite him. Fay shifted slightly so he was facing his boyfriend.

Fay fake pouted. "You don't like my attention Kuro-chan?"

"Not when you tackle me while I'm SUPPOSED to be doing my job!"

"Oh, you know you love that! You'll come to love Kuro-puppy too!"

"Tch. We are NOT calling him….Kuro-puppy." Kurogane's facial expression showed his pain in having to say the cursed name.

"Fine, what should we call him then? Kuro-growly, Kuro-paws, or Kuro-doggie?"

"I don't care as long as it has no reference whatsoever to my name."

Fay thought for a moment. Then his angelic face brightened and his lips widened into a smile. "I think I have the perfect name, Ookami!"

Kurogane's brows furrowed. "Why name it after a wolf?"

The magician rolled his eyes impatiently. "Because Kuro-woof, he's very protective and he reminds me of a little wolf!"

"Whatever, at least you can stop calling it that bastardization of my name."

"I think you were just jealous that I wasn't calling YOU Kuro-puppy, Kuro-puppy." The mage smiled in a ridiculously cute manner. Before Kurogane could respond to this lie, Fay quickly kissed him, and turned over, but not before warning the "naughty puppy to keep his hands to himself tonight". The warrior rolled his eyes before joining the lithe man next to him in a much needed slumber.

KUROFAYKUROFAYKUROFAY

The following week made a certain tall Japanese man EXTREMELY irritated. The stupid puppy had yet to make friends with him, and his lover was giving the stupid animal a lot more attention than him. Usually, this would be good for the ninja since Tomoyo and Souma always teased him about the mage's clinginess. However, when you are almost trampled by a tall, skinny assed blonde magician chasing after a yipping dog four times, things got annoying.

He wasn't jealous of course. That stupid dog just annoyed the hell out of him because it always tried to take a chunk out of his leg whenever he went within touching distance of Fay (except when it was asleep). And Fay's extra attention to the animal didn't affect him at all, AT ALL. No, it definitely wasn't jealousy. It had nothing to do with the ninja's murderous mood lately.

So when Kurogane slipped into the couple's bedroom that night to put his armor away for the day, that last thing he expected to see was his boyfriend, passed out cold on their bed, and Ookami was no where to be seen. The dog must be really wearing out the mage if he was tired enough to take a nap. The idiot usually had enough sugar in his system to keep him going to three days straight.

The momentary silence gave the tall man a chance to note the changes that had occurred in the room to accommodate the new "addition to our happy family" according to the idiot named Fay. Tomoyo had showed up the other day with a nest of soft blankets for Ookami to sleep in. These blankets were now on the edge of the blonde's side of the futon. The princess had also given them a water and food bowl that was currently set up in the left far corner of their quarters. The name Ookami and a dog cartoon had been clumsily written in kanji on both containers, in the mage's unmistakable handwriting of course.

The ninja was snatched from his musings when he heard light, padded footsteps behind him. He turned to see the predictable image of Ookami in the doorway. This time, as opposed to growling and barking furiously at the man, the dog kept quiet, settling for just giving the tan warrior a look that was meant to be menacing. Maybe it was because his master was asleep on the floor and he didn't want to wake him. The puppy trotted to his makeshift bed and laid down, curled up into a ball.

Kurogane walked towards the lump of fur slowly, not wanting to suddenly make the beast loud again. When the dog didn't make any noise, he sat down next to it and reached his hand out cautiously. Again, the puppy didn't move or bark. The crimson eyed man placed his hand on the soft fur, and experimentally petted the dog. Surprisingly, Ookami, instead of growling, just shifted to a more comfortable position and let the ninja keep petting him.

This went on for quite a few minutes until Kurogane sensed the mage waking up from his nap. The tall, (though smaller than his boyfriend) pale man stretched in a way that made Kurogane immediately think of a cat. When he was finished working out all of the kinks in his stiff muscles, the magician finally took notice of the scene before him. His lover, who had profusely stated his distaste for the pet, was stroking the small creature almost lovingly. Of course Fay had always known that his Kuro-pu had always had a soft side, but he rarely showed it. This was too adorable to miss.

"Aw! Kuro-cutie likes Ookami-chan! I'm so happy!" Fay exclaimed quietly, so he didn't wake up the now sleeping puppy.

"Tch. I just figured that if I made peace with the menace then he'd leave me alone now."

"But I'm sure Kuro-koi also missed being near me! If I didn't know any better, I'd say that Kuro-chii was jealous of all the time I spent with our little Ookami-chan." Fay's smile widened at the blush that crept up the ninja's neck to his face. The warrior chose not to respond. He stood up and crossed the bed to his own allotted side. Collapsing onto the bed, he faced his unpredictable lover. Fay smiled again and said, "You know I love you right, Kuro-chan?"

"Tch."

Fay knew that was his ninja's way of saying "I love you too". He pecked the muscular man's nose cutely, and turned over for some sleep.

A/N: 1. Think German Shepherd puppy. Somehow, they just remind me of Kuro-doggy.

I am extremely happy that this chapter was longer than most of my entries. Thanks in advance for all the lovely REVIEWS (good or bad)! See ya!
