Kurogane couldn't believe that everyone had managed to get drunk off such weak sake.

"You guys are idiots," he snapped, watching them meow like cats. Fai seemed to be the leader of all the nonsense. He also seemed to be the one who was the most wasted.

"Kuro-woofy, don't be like that," Fai cooed with that grin of his, hanging on to Kurogane. "You're just grumpy cuz you're not a cat, huh?"

"No," Kurogane snarled, "I'm quite happy to be human, unlike you guys!"

"We're not humans!" Fai said, spinning in a circle with his arms flung up in the air. "We're cats! Tonight's my night to howl, baby! MeeEEooOOOwwWW!"

"WILL YOU CUT IT OUT?" Kurogane snarled. "You drunk bastard!"

"You cut it out!" Fai laughed, clinging to Kurogane again. "I love it when you get all snippy, Kurorin."

"Well, stop loving it! And get off me!"

"Ooh, Kuro-woofy, you're so violent!"

"All right, that's it! No more crappy sake for you!"

"Waaah, nyaah, don't leave me Kuro-woofy!"

Kurogane turned to the other two.

"You two should go to bed. Separately," he added.

Syaoran and Sakura seemed to be too drunk to support themselves, so Kurogane carried them up the stairs.

"'Night," he said, shutting the door. They were already fast asleep.

Taking a deep breath to steel himself for the problem downstairs, Kurogane peered over the balcony.

"NYAAAH, KURO-WOOFY, WHY'D YOU LEAVE ME ALL ALONE? AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?"

Grinding his teeth, Kurogane headed downstairs to face him.

"Kuro-puu!" Fai said happily at the sight of him. "Are you gonna take me upstairs?"

"And do what?" Kurogane asked, raising an eyebrow.

Fai spread his arms wide. "Claim me!"

"NO!"

"Then can you give me a doggy-back ride upstairs?" Fai asked, peering at Kurogane with a woozy smile. "Big Kitty can't walk straight tonight."

"Fine."

"All the way into my room, or I'll sleep with you!"

Kurogane's eye twitched. "I'll carry you up the stairs. I don't wanna see your room. Ever."

"Then I'll sleep with you!"

"No you won't!" Kurogane snarled as he carried Fai up the stairs.

"Meow! Into my room! Meeeeooow!"

"QUIET!"

"MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW!"

Kurogane bounced Fai once so that he would shut up. It didn't work.

"MEeeEEEeOooOooWwwW!"

"God!"

Kurogane dumped Fai at the top of the stairs.

"Now go to bed!"

"With you?"

"NO!"

Kurogane slammed his door closed.

"I'm gonna come get you!" Fai called.

Kurogane turned off the light, climbed into bed, and ignored him.


"Kuromin, you're drooling on the pillow."

Kurogane gave a sleepy snort and turned over, muttering an apology.

Then his eyes flew open and he quickly sat up.


"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Syaoran and Sakura looked upstairs. The yell was coming from Kurogane's room!

They both ran up the stairs to see what was wrong.

Syaoran opened the door so fast that it nearly came off its hinges.

"Kurogane-san, what's wrong?" he asked, and then both he and Sakura stared.

Kurogane was in the corner of the room, pointing at Fai, who was lying on the bed. Fai looked rather pleased with himself. Kurogane was speechless with rage.

"You..." he sputtered. "You..."

"Whoo!" Fai said, sitting up. "What happened last night, Kuromin? I suuure feel good!"

"GAH! Don't talk like that!"

"I opened my eyes this morning," Fai said to Syaoran and Sakura, "and I found myself laying next to Kuro-run! What a surprise! Makes me wonder just what went on last night…"

"You were out in the hall!" Kurogane yelled, holding up a pillow for a shield. "You must have snuck in while I was asleep, you dirty bastard!"

Fai laughed. "I don't remember a thing."

"Well I do," Kurogane snarled. "You were hanging all over me last night! You wanted me to take you into your room!"

"Ooh, I sure was bold last night," Fai commented, smiling. "I should drink sake more often."

"No you shouldn't!" Kurogane yelled. "You threatened that you were going to come sleep with me!"

There was an awkward silence, and then Fai broke it.

"Welp, that settles it," Fai said, grinning. "I'm definitely drinking more sake."

"WHAT?"


Nyaah! Enjoy!
