I dunno if I should say this like a warning or something because the manga's already over but... this happened after the manga... after all the angst-y happenings...

"Neh, Kuro-pon what's so important Syaoran and Mokona have to go back to Clow Country?" asked the mage as Mokona transported only Syaoran.

"He said something about an event at their country right? Would you mind if we go to Nihon for awhile?" the ninja asked.

"We're going somewhere too?" he started raising his arm and they were slowly surrounded by unknown scribbling coming from the magician's finger, "Well, we can't do anything in this country anymore… so, sure." And with that he began world transfer.

"Tell me, what's with the sudden come back? Is it because you miss Tomoyo-hime so much?" Fai teased as the two of them landed outside Shirasagi Castle. Like before, Kurogane shrugged him off with a snarl, "Can't you answer more openly?!" Fai smacked the back of the ninja's head and walked ahead.

"You bastard what the hell was that for?!!" the surprised ninja patted his head Fai had hit. He gave off a hidden smile seeing that his companion had changed after everything they've been through. Somehow, he became more honest and the smile he now wears is actually the soothing and peaceful type though the teasing and silly names haven't been retracted from the mage nor his constant clowning around especially when the white manju's with him.

"My, my… so early in the morning and I already see lovers quarreling." A familiar voice that made Fai stopped from walking and glanced over to who it was.

"Tomoyo?" Kurogane uttered upon seeing her with her usual company, a few guards, Souma and Amaterasu. Fai bowed and smiled at the girls for respect and he was greeted back with smiles.

Tomoyo and the others didn't react upon seeing Fai having two eyes simply because they didn't want them to remember whatever the group had gone through since a festive celebration is coming its way.

"Let's go inside, shall we?" Amaterasu invited and they followed, "Lunch will be served in a couple of hours so why don't we have a short snack." She added.

They walked towards the castle and saw the busy servants preparing something on the rooftop. Shirasagi Castle is one of the largest castles and a very beautiful one for having such intricate yet elegantly simple design, Fai had thought. Going inside the castle, the priestess called on the attention of two of the maids. She told the maid to give Kurogane his clothes while the other attends to Fai's clothes which was located at a room for clothes next to Kurogane's room.

"Why don't you change clothes to make yourselves comfortable?" Tomoyo offered, "We'll be waiting for you at the garden. Now, Kurogane, I hope you still know you're way here and… do wait for Fai-san." She added before the two left and followed the maids.

Entering inside the castle filled with large hallways and rooms, Kurogane noticed the attention he and Fai were getting from the servants roaming around. He just rolled his eyes apparently getting some vague thoughts about why people suddenly became fidgety. Obviously, he's not bragging but, some of the maids were actually looking at him, at the ninja. He got this a lot even back then and decided not to do anything about it, though the others were looking at the new face at the castle, the blonde mage. What troubled Kurogane on the way weren't the staring maids but the glancing butlers. What the hell? He punched himself mentally, figuring what was the cause of that; clearly it's also because of the new face that just arrived. They haven't seen Fai here since when they first got here in Nihon with the brat and the others, they immediately left and had no time sight-seeing nor wandering around the castle and even if they did, for kami-sama's sake, he was wearing a furisode.

The mage with his hair, body and eyes… why is his physical appearance so… girly? No wonder guys kept looking at him. He has that white skin and that slender body, those blue and golden orbs and his blonde hair tied with red ribbon. If it was a crime for men to look like women, Fai would doubtlessly be sued. The ninja glowered at the men staring at Fai as if their lives depended on him, and when they passed and met Kurogane's eyes, they went back to their usual work or walk as if they weren't even there. He again gave himself a mental smack, there's really no need to do that, is there?

Kurogane went back to earth, when the maid opened a room for him, his room and as for the magician, the other maid slid the door open for him.

"Wait for me Kuro-rin, ok?" Fai reminded, and he replied with the constant prompt that his name is 'Kurogane'. Fai chuckled before finally going inside the room.

A few minutes passed, Kurogane was already done putting on his clothes. He kept in mind that the blonde mage is probably having some difficulties putting on his clothes so he waited for him outside his room. Ten minutes was over, surely it isn't that hard to put on Japanese clothes, you just have to wear it and tie the obi around your waist.

"Oi, what's taking you so long?!" he decided to ask, talking from outside.

"Neh, Kuro-pipi, would you mind coming in? I'm having a little trouble putting this on." He replied and the ninja heard some soft rummage sounds coming from the room.

"Tch. How troublesome." He reacted, "I'm going in." he gave a sign before sliding the door open.

Close.

Blink. Blink.

Kurogane froze. The mage was only wearing the first layer; not only that, he wasn't wearing it properly and it was loose, exposing his bare pale chest and shoulder, his hair was down and bit of a mess, the mage was pouting trying to find a way to make it look better and comfortable. The ninja then broke from his reverie remembering he needed to help him with his clothes.

"What do you think you're doing?" he growled, "Wear that like a robe properly I'll tie it from behind." He instructed. Fai did so and he went to him to tie the back, "So where's the rest of it?" Kurogane asked and the magician pointed it, "That's what you're going to wear?" he rubbed his temples finding the right words to say to the blonde, "Is there something else?"

"I don't think so. That was already lying there when I got here." Fai explained.

"Never mind, just put it on." He picked it up and handed it over. The blonde wizard was again going to wear another furisode. This time, it has cherry blossom patterns.

Fai finished wearing everything with the help of Kurogane. They were headed to the door and Kurogane decided to talk about the thing Fai is wearing.

"What you're wearing…" he spoke and Fai turned around.

"Is it still wrong?" it made him conscious and twirled around trying to get a view of something not right.

"Nope, there's nothing wrong with it… furisode… that's only worn by women who're about to get married or a lover of a samurai." He told it blatantly.

The blonde magician, at first, was surprised then a wide grin covered his face. He walked toward the ninja and hooked his arms around his neck, pulling him closer.

"Well then… it's alright isn't it?" he gave off a seducing aura by drawing circles with his fingers on Kurogane's cheeks down to his chest, "I think I met some of the requirements..." he added pecking lightly the taller man's lips. Fai pulled away smiling seeing the ninja stunned, "Don't mind it too much, Kuro-rin…let's go." He reached for the sliding door but the ninja moved toward the man, quickly putting his hand on the door, preventing Fai from opening it.

"As if I'll be satisfied with that petty kiss you gave…" Kurogane whispered at the smaller man's ear, with his low and passionate voice, wrapping his free arm around the blonde's slim waist.

"Just what do you mean by that, Kuro-koi?" he faced and looked up to him, eyes fluttering together with an obvious smile while the ninja's hand that was on the door moved on to the side of Fai's neck and lower ear.

"You'll see…" Kurogane smirked.

He tilted Fai's head upward and licked his chin drawing a line until it reaches his lips. He captured the blonde's lips, lapping first his lower lip. The wizard was shock but then closed his eyes seeing the crimson orbs looking back at him determined and also to fully enjoy the ride. In return, the mage attacked Kurogane's upper lip. The ninja pushed him gently to the door to retain balance for the both of them. He shifted their position to get a better angle of where their lips met. His tongue made its way to Fai's mouth and he gladly opened for him. Kurogane possessively attacked the blonde, exploring every inch of the mage and left no room for him to even take control. The smaller man clutched his hands on Kurogane's clothing since there's nothing more he could do, this ninja is just so domineering. His eyes grew wide open when he noticed that one of the warrior's hand snaked to his neck going to his shoulders slowly exposing his flesh.

"W-wai… ah…" he muffled, unable to speak any further because the ninja kept on kissing him, "Ku-ro…o… hmmm…" he tried to turn away from the taller man but Kurogane's hand kept leading him back to the kiss and he was again cut off. He decided to tug him forcefully to tell the careless ninja to stop before things get out of hand and also because he was running out breath but it didn't work and the ninja's hand was slowly undressing the blonde. He also tried to push him but this was Kurogane, known for his strength and that had little or no effect on him.

The mage had no ideas left so… "Hey!!!" the warrior exclaimed, the wizard bit Kurogane's tongue, "What the heck?!" he growled being interrupted. On the other hand, Fai was panting and gave Kurogane a sharp look with an eyebrow raised, "What?" the ninja asked.

"Like you're the one who should be complaining." He scolded the warrior. Kurogane noticed the state Fai is in. His obi is loose and his pale shoulders are already showing, "Just when I finally wear them you started ruining them…" he put the blame on the ninja and straightened his clothes back again.

"Wait." He stopped the mage from being clothed. He leaned forward, reaching for the lower part of the blonde magician's neck. The warrior wrapped both of his strong arms around the mage's svelte waist then put his lips over the exposed white flesh. Fai questioned Kurogane's actions then gasped when he started sucking and biting the said flesh.

"What was that for Kuro-min?" he asked as the ninja pulled away, gently helping the mage put on his clothes, "By the way this was your fault." he was referring to the furisode.

"Consider it a book mark… I'll get back to you later on." He had an evil smirk while finishing the furisode, "You were the one who started this." He retorted.

"A bookmark?" Fai giggled, "What am I now, a book?"

"Not now, later… you'll be an open book…" he whispered at the mage's ears and bit it, "That was payback for biting me."

"Kuro-sama…" he whined, "Another thing, all I gave you was a small peck, you were the one who made things more intense and was heading to something else." He explained brushing off the small ruffles on Kurogane.

"Still, you were the one who started that." He opened the door giving way to Fai and they both left the room.

"It's both our faults then…" Fai muttered and then saw the flushing faces of the two maids outside. He glared at Kurogane who seem to also see the maids' reactions. They completely forgot there are people outside. When they looked at the maids, they weren't able to look back, Fai laughed at the thought as they walk toward the garden.

Fai's character changed a bit... I thought that maybe he became more open-minded and does things he want to do... ughh! i can't explain the change in his personality...

Darn it!! What is it with me and writing story in the middle of the night?!! So glad, vacation started 3days ago...
