Notes: How would you guys feel if Yash and Ashura were brought back? They wouldn't play a major role though, just small parts in a few chapters.
------
The first thing they had to do, aside from rebuilding and unpacking, was to establish a guard to protect the boarders. Yesterday Kurogane had sent out word throughout the villagers for anyone strong enough to be apart of Suwa's new guard.
So far he and Fai had been sitting in the main room drinking tea and eating one of Fai's new concoctions when recruits began filing in one by one.
The ninja sighed, so far the only ones ot show up had been teenagers no older than Syaoran, all of whom had little to no experience in combat and he suspected fewer had even held a sword in their hands.
"Kuro-bun shouldn't be so disgruntled, I'm sure he'll find someone."
Fai patted his husband on the shoulder and when Kurogane opened his mouth to reply the blonde had shoved a portion of cake in his mouth. But before he could yell at the ex-vampire one of the servants had opened the door for another canidate to be interveiwed.
The couple looked with wide eyes at seeing an old face. The person who sat across from them was none other than Shougo.
"What's your name and do you have any experience in battle or with a weapon?" Kurogane said, not wanting to sound too eager to give the man a job.
"Shougo Asagi and yeah, I know my way around several weapons and me and my friends have fought a few weaker oni."
"How many of these friends of yours have experience?" Fai poured Shougo some tea as Kurogane questioned the man.
"More than anyone else trying to sign up."
"Shougo-kun and his friends are hired!" Fai broke the tense air, offering the teen some sweets. Shougo smiled widely standing up and awkwardly bowing before holding Fai's hands and thanking them.
"All of you will met here as soon as possible, then we'll get to work with training all of you."
"Of course, Kurogane-sama." The glare Shougo received upon holding the mage's hands made him blush in embarassment.
"Shougo-kun can move in to the castle today!" Fai smiled at their new guard captain.
"Yes, they're all outside now waiting on me." Their friend left, Fai turned to Kurogane smiling, said ninja quirked an eyebrow.
"What?"
"Kuro-tan's jealous."
"I am not." Fai rolled his eyes and patted black spikes of hair.
"I wonder if this Shougo is just like Hanshin's Shougo."
"If he is, then he'll be a good captain." Kurogane smirked, remembering that teen's strength and courage.
"I wonder if Primera-chan's with him..."
--------------
"Wait!"
Fai and Kurogane turned to see a boy running towards them. They had left earlier to go walk around, checking on the builders around their home.
The boy huffed as he stopped in front of them, he was bent over hands on his knees, as he tried to catch his breath.
"Sorry, I overslept, I was going to...come for the guard post...am I too late?" The blonde smiled at the familiar boy. He had only met him a few times before but the boy reminded him so much of Syaoran.
"Can you fight?" Kurogane asked, already knowing the answer.
"Of course I can!" He pointed at his back where his sword was wrapped around his back.
"What's your name kid?"
"Ryou, sir!"
"Get your things to the castle by tomorrow, Fai will show you your room."
"You mean I get the job?!" The redheads mouth was gaping in shock. Kurogane nodded and the teen jumped in the air cheering, running off to go gather his things, a long and loud 'TTTHHAANNNKK YYYYOOOOUUU!!!!!!!' rang in the air.
"It seems we have some old faces and new friends with us now." Both felt saddness pull at them as they thought of their times with Sakura, Syaoran, and Mokona, but now they would have to make new memories with their new family.
"Let's go, I'm sure the kids have the nursemaid up the wall by now." Kurogane began walking back to their home, Fai hooking their arms together.
-------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
"Fai-san, how are all of you?" Fai had been talking to Sakura, while Kurogane was talking to the new guards.
"Wonderful as ever, Kuro-rin has been helping in building some homes and I've had to teach the new housemaids here how to do their chores."
"That's wonderful, I'm sure they'll be experts in no time with you teaching them."
"I wish I was there to help in restoration..." Syaoran had appeared on the small screen, both teens barely having enough room to see through the mirror.
"All of us miss you two, especially Kuro-bun, but you two have important lives to lead now." Both blushed slightly, looking away from their 'mother'.
"We miss you too, it's not the same without seeing Kurogane-san chasing you around and Moko-chan calling him a puppy."
"Oh, that reminds me, you two will never guess who our new captain and ninja's are." Fai smiled as the teens tried to think of who it could be.
"Shougo-san is our captain, along with his gang and Ryou came running up to us earlier asking for a job. Primera-chan's also here but she's our head matriarch, she's been helping the younger girls."
"That's wonderful news, I'm sure Kurogane-san's happy to have strong sparring partners." The mage could tell that the boy missed having lessons with Kurogane, the ninja really had been a father to him.
"He's outside now, breifing them, he's so cute when he tries to act all dominating and macho. Right now he's probably scared half of them, I'll have to show them how his bark is worse then his bite." The two in Clow smiled sheepishly, thinking of how many ways that could go awry.
----------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------
Kurogane looked across the field behind his home, thinking it would be a good place for all of them to train. He have to get some weapons racks and other things to make it fully functional. It was only when several of his new guard collapsed from exhaustion that Kurogane called it a day. He yelled for the girls hanging around the new training ground, to get water for them. Blushing the girls scrambled off into the castle, almost running into Fai as they hurried.
"It seems Kuro-chu and I match." (1) Fai smiled as he balanced large tray's in each hand. He staggered and spun, the food on the trays threatening to spill. The few around men around the blonde were about to get up to help, but were waved down by a glaring Kurogane.
"Stop acting like that and sit down, and we do not match." Fai's clumsiness stopped as he walked towards the ninja. He set one tray down in front of Kurogane and the new guard captains that sat around him and another beside the other ninja.
"Not exactly but they do match." Fai traced the flame embrodiery on the long sleeveof Kurogane's kimono. The taller man's other arm, which was only covered by a piece of shoulder armor and an arm guard, reached for a pastry.
"This isn't any of that sugary crap you fix is it?"
"No, but you'd eat it anyway even if it was." Fai plopped down beside Kurogane, reaching forward for a pastry of his own. Shogo and Ryou ate in front of the two, laughing as Fai poked Kurogane.
"Fai-san, this is really good, did you make it?" Shougo asked as the red-head beside him shoveled food in his mouth.
"Yes, I had some free time and decided to make treats for everyone."
"These are really good." Ryou said in between mouthfuls.
"Where are the twins?"
"With their new teachers, though they should be done soon." Fai turned to look at Kurogane but was met with a cup in front of him.
"Here you are Fai-san."
"Thank you Mizuki-chan." The girl, along with a few others began handing out drinks to the tired soldiers. Thanks rang in the air as everyone relaxed.
"Kuro-puppy, I talked to little kitty and little puppy earlier."
"The kid still training?"
"Yes, the kids are alright, but I could tell they both missed us. Especially Syaoran-kun; he misses his teacher." Fai leaned against Kurogane, his hand idely playing with the tassels on the other mans armor. The new lord adjusted to wrap an arm around the ex-vampire's waist, taking another bite from his food.
"He'll be fine, he has the princess affter all." Fai smiled up at his lover, an mischeveous gleam in his eyes as he reached to pinch the other's cheek.
"Kuro-wan's such a worry-wart."
"Ow, damnit stop it before I throw your ass across the yard!" A tear threatened to spill from a red eye as Fai's smile widened.
"Uh Fai-san, Kurogane-sama seems to be getting angry and he's growling." Ryou stared with a half-eaten pastry in one hand as Fai released the ninja's abused cheek and scrambled to his feet.
"Bastard!" Kurogane dove for the blonde, only catching air as Fai ran.
"Do you think they do that all the time?" Shougo asked his friend as the two of them watched Fai leap over ninja as their leader barreled through anyone in his way.
"They seem happy." Ryou laughed at the paniced yells rising amongst the other ninja as they ducked and dodged Fai leaping through them and Kurogane's swinging sword.
