The next day Kurogane asked to resume his duties at the castle but was denied until he showed his family around the grounds and until they were familiar with their new home. Tomoyo had taken the twins to 'better get to know her neice and nephew' while Kurogane took his lithe lover around the castle.
The blonde was currently walking beside him as he poked and prodded everything he saw. Every now and then he would fake a whistle at something 'interesting' or tug on the warrior's arm fervently about something else. It was starting to get on the ninja's nerves.
"Stop touching everything!" He shouted, startling two passing maids.
"Kuro-run, shouldn't scream and besides Tomoyo-chan told you to show me around." Fai began walking furthur down the hallway, his arms behind his back.
"Bastard, don't walk away from me, when I'm yelling at you!" Kurogane roared, his blood boiling as the slinky mage laughed heartedly.
"Then Kuro-tan should walk faster," The magician taunted, smiling over his shoulder. Kurogane caught up to the mage, walking side by side. "I think we should check out the empty rooms like you suggested last night." Kurogane coughed awkwardly as a fellow ninja, who was passing by ,overheard, leaving Fai grinned devilishly.
------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------
"...and over there's the bath house, there are private ones for the royals and higher ups." The shinobi pointed to the steam raising into the air on top of a small hill. Fai 'ooh-ed' and smiled wickedly again.
"Does Kuro-rinta get a private bath?"
"Yes, I am the captain of Tomoyo's gaurd after all." Kurogane refused to take the bait that Fai was offering, he was not going to be embarassed to days in a row damnit! Even now he could see the wheels turning in that blonde head.
"Come on, we'll go to the training grounds next, since it's just on the other side of theis garden."
--------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------
S houts echoed across the field as several dozen ninja in clothes similar to Kurogane's trained. Fai took in the sight, figuring that the ones in charge were giving out orders or giving demonstrations while all the others were either lower ranking guards or newcomers.
"So this is were Daddy used to work." A vein popped on his head as Fai walked off to check out one of the weapons rack. Fai ignored him and idly decided he wanted to touch the numerous swords.
"Hey, what the hell are you doing?!" A hand reached out to grab Fai's wrist harshly, the blonde winced slightly and the older man who had grabbed him found the tip of a sword at his throat.
"Let him go." Kurogane's voice was low with anger.
Everyone had turned to watch the three men, some of the ninja present recognized the angered voice immediately, while the new recruits looked on in wonder, some had even tensed ready to fight. The man holding onto Fai looked up to Kurogane, unimpressed by his tone. It didn't take him long to recognize the man before him.
"Kurogane-san, I thought you were away on a mission?" Kurogane stared him down some more, making Fai somewhat uneasy between the two.
"I'm won't say it again." The man released his hold on Fai's wrist and held his hands up in apology.
"It's good to see you back, captain, so whose the stranger?" The man asked, placing his hands on his hips. Fai smiled cutely, holding up his hand to say hello.
"I'm Fai, Kuro-"
"He's with me, and you have no right grabbing him." The older trainer in front of him had barely shown Kurogane any respect because of his age and now, more than ever, it got on his nerves.
But before it could escalate into an argument Fai diffused the building tension by tugging on his lovers arm.
"Come on, we've not seen everything yet and it's almost lunch time, I promised Tomoyo-hime that I'd make her a desert." Shouts broke the silence as everyone fumbled to start back with their training. A few heads turning as Fai walked by, as well as a few whistles. Kurogane just reminded himself that they'd have one hell of a workout once he got a hold of them.
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------
"I heard Kurogane caused a stir at the training grounds today." Tomoyo sat nonchalantly as she prodded at a small bowl of rice.
"Oh yes, Kuro-tan's temper got the best of him again." Fai frantically waved down the sushi offered to him by a servant, a green tinge on his face.
"He shouldn't have grabbed you like that, you fight better than most of them anyways, so you should every right to touch any weapon their, it's not like it's theirs anyway." Kurogane growled, pulling a few pieces of bread apart.
"Kurogane's defensive, he must care." A glare was sent at Souma, who sat beside her princess.
"Who was it, what did he do?" Tomoyo frowned sligthly. She would have to have Souma and Kurogane teach the rest of her ninja some manners. Though looking at the man, she thought it was better Souma handle it.
"He just grabbed my wrist when I reached to check out the weapons rack, and Kuro-min got angry when he asked me what I was doing." Fai said, a smile plastered on his face as Kurogane growled lower.
"It was Shinobu."
"Ah, I'll have Souma talk to him about Fai living here from now on, he should have more respect for others." Tomoyo placed a finger on her lips, thinking of how to get Shinobu away from his training.
Ryu and Yuki sat in their parents' laps, being fed as the adults talked. Both of them were dressed in silk kimono's desinged by none other than the princess. Ryu's had little dragons swirling around white blossoms whilst her brother's had blue tints of snow falling in clumps around his tiny fet. Fai giggled as his daughter tred to eat some of his bread once again.
"So, how were my babies today,I hope the weren't too much trouble?"
"They were angels, Fai-san, it surprised me a little though at how good they were." Three faces turned to an eating Kurogane.
"What?" He looked up at them, suspicion ringing true in his eye.
"Oh, nothing Kuro-rin." Fai smiled, batting an eyelash at Kurogane.
"Are you talking about me!" The shinobi slammed down his chopsticks.
"Perish the thought." Tomoyo smiled, praising Fai on the sweets he had made earlier.
-------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
Kurogane and Fai were in their bedroom, the twins playing with different things they found around the room. Fai was lying in his bed out of breath as he had just been chasing the two around the large room. Kurogane sat beside him on the floor polishing his sword.
"Kuro-wankoro we'll you be at the training grounds teaching when you start back as Tomoyo-chan's guard?" Fai rolled onto his stomach, his face propped up on his hands. Kurogane didn't answer, flipping the katakana over.
"How's your wrist, that old goat didn't hurt you did he?" His red eyes never left the sword he still polished on.
"It's fine, I don't think it'll even bruise, I-oof." Ryu had landed on her mother's side, climbing up until she was sitting on the blonde's back. Kurogane turned just in time to see Yuki join his sister, both toddlers playing with their mother's long hair.
"What was that?" He asked, relaxing himself slightly.
"Ouch, n-nothing...Kuro-puu, are you done yet?"
"Why."
"I'm about to be attacked by two scary monsters and Daddy has to save Mommy." Kurogane confused looked over agian to see Fai's hair being tied in knots as Yuki and Ryu were rolling around on top of the blonde. He lost sight of the mage's head as it disapeared beneath a wiggling Minnie-blonde.
Kurogane laughed as Fai squawked upon resurfacing from a small pile of limbs, his blonde hair sticking up in puffs around his face. The ninja sheathed his sword; he'd finish it tomorrow. He crawled over to lift his giggling daughter off of Fai's back.
"Kuro-tan didn't save me from the mean monsters and now there gunna get me!" Fai rolled over, waving his arms in the air dramatically, Yuki laughing as he fell forward on the futon.
"I've got one of them, but she's she's too strong." Kurogane played along as Ryu tried to climb up him, a determined look in her sapphire eyes.
"Mommy!" Yuki squealed in delight as Fai grabbed him, tickling him as the little boy tried to remove his mother's hands.
Kurogane winced as Ryu tugged harshly on his bangs. He plucked the small hands from his hair and grabbed her with one arm around the waist as he stood up on his knees. He smiled boardly, Yuki and Fai stopping to see what was happening.
"And now I'll vanquish the monster and save Mommy." Fai blushed and laughed as Kurogane kneeled with his chest puffed out like some fairy tale prince.
"Daddy!" Ryu struggled from his grasp and yelled in joy as Kurogane tossed her gently into the soft covers of the bed below them.
"Kuro-prince has defeated the scary dragon, now he has to fight the dreaded snow monster!" Fai rolled, taking a panting Ryu in his arms, cuddling her. Kurogane turned to look down at his son, smirking at him.
Yuki was on his knees, his hands out like claws as he growled at his daddy, trying to act menacing. Fai watched his son and lover, he smiled fondly as Yuki tried to tackle the shinobi. The blonde knew that Kurogane would never before have acted like this in front of anyone least of all him. Fai knew that this was one thing that he would never tease Kurogane about. Ryu tugged on his sleeve, as he cradled her in his arms.
"I think it's time for Ryu-chan to go to bed." Fai mentioned, stepping off the bed and smiling back at his lover and son. Kurogane nodded and picked up the boy, who despite some protest, yawned and snuggled in his father's chest.
-------------
"Kuro-sama is very good with his puppies; he's such a good daddy." Fai could feel the smile against his neck, as Kurogane nuzzled him.
Fai ran his fingers through black hair as they lay in bed, Yuki and Ryu had been put to sleep over an hour ago. "I didn't know Kuro-fan liked to play so much." Fai planted a kiss on the other man's forehead, his lips lingering on tan skin while he smiled.
He could feel Kurogane kissing him, while at the same time the ninja rubbed soothing circles in his back. Fai moved back taking his hand and cupping Kurogane's cheek. Their eyes met, Kurogane's brow knitted in worry as Fai looked on the verge of tears.
"What's wrong?" Kurogane moved to kiss a pale cheek. Fai shook his head, smiling as his hand moved behind the other's head.
"Nothing, I'm just happy." Their lips touched, Fai tugging Kurogane's face closer to him. They parted, their breaths mingling together as theri noses touched.
"Tomorrow I'll show you around the gardens, We'll take the kids with us, they'll like the flowers."
"Kuro-ki's a big softie." Kurogane mumbled something, too tired to get angry. Fai snuggled furthur under the covers, his fingers lightly scratching a now sleeping Kurogane's cheek.
