"Now I expect you two to eat everything." Fai then placed the twins lunches in front of them, taking a seat across from Ryu and Yuki once they began to eat.
"Mommy, will all the other people be leaving today?"
"Yes, but first me and Daddy have to through another dinner in honor of our guests." The mage dreaded the upcoming event, knowing that he'd have to fend off Hekiyou's advances and ignore the noble's stares.
"I don't like them." Yuki pouted, a scowl a lot like Kurogane's graced his small face. Fai covered his mouth to hide his smile.
"That's not very nice Yuki, what about your aunt Tomoyo and Amaterasu?" Both women had been scrace the last two days, both busy in helping to secure Suwa's political survival.
"They're okay, but all they do is talk to everyone else."
"Is that why you don't like our guests?" Ryu nodded fiercely, as she ate.
"Daddy said we could leave and do all kinds of stuff when those people leave."
"It would be nice to go and explore wouldn't it?" Fai grinned as both twins shouted their agreement.
----
"Excuse me Hekiyou-sama, you seem to be blocking my path." Fai laughed nervously as the noble cornered him. Fai swore at having been caught again at night by the other man.
"Kurogane-sama's extremly lucky to have found someone as beautiful as you, Fai-san." Hekiyou said as he lightly touched the tips of Fai's hair.
"Thank you, Hekiyou-sama, but Kuro-tan's expecting me."
"I wanted to ask you something." Hekiyou smiled gently.
"Yes?"
"When I leave, I would like for you to come with me." The wizard had to admit that he hadn't been expecting that and was thrown for a loop.
"I couldn't, this is my home and my family is here. Besides I don't think Kuro-san would like that very much seeing as how we're married and all." Fai knew he had to be cautious with the man slowing inching closer to him. If it came down to it though, the blonde would have to fight back and who knew were that would lead to.
"Married?"
"Yes, didn't you ever notice the wedding rings?" Fai pointed at the silver band on his finger.
"I see..." Fai cringed as Hekiyou ran fingers down his cheek. He pushed the other man away as he was pressed against the wall.
"I hate to be rude, but Kuro-tan's waiting and I am married and all, I'm sorry that I can't return your feelings, I'm sure you'll find someone else." Fai grinned nervously, trying to let the man down easy, hoping that Kurogane would get frustrated and come looking for him before he'd have to do something himself.
"I could take you away if I wanted." Fai was shocked and didn't react in time as the noble kissed him. Fai immediatly pushed the man off him, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand as he glared. Hekiyou moved to kiss him again, but Fai aimed a kick at the noble's side, hitting and knocking the man down as it landed.
"Excuse me." Fai said venomously as he stepped over the surprised man and made his way back to Kurogane. The blonde turned to walked down the hallway leading to his bedroon and was met by one of Shougo's friends patrolling the castle.
"Hello, Fai-san."
"Hello, could I ask you a favor?"
"Of course."
"Lord Hekiyou is up and walking about down the south hall, could you escort him back to his room?" The teen nodded as Fai waved goodbye.
His smiled faded as he approached his and Kurogane's room, his hand resting on the door handle as he thought about what had just taken place. An oppressing familiar weight pressed down on him as he thought about the kiss.
In his mind, he had betrayed Kurogane, he should've have broken Hekiyou's arm when the man had touched his hair. Trying to regain his composure, not wanting to let Kurogane know about anything, Fai stepped inside.
"What the hell took you so long?" The ninja asked as he sat in the floor, polishing his sword.
"Just thought I'd make Kuro-chu wait for me." Kurogane stared at him, but turned back to his sword after a few seconds. The mage sighed in relief as he crawled into bed, once settled, he watched Kurogane finish up and put his things away before joining him.
"Were the twins asleep?" Kurogane joined him, pulling Fai close to him as he relaxed, his chest pressed against the other's pale back.
"Yes, they're deep sleepers just like Sakura-chan." The blonde felt terrible about his lover holding him, the ninja not even knowing about the kiss.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I'm just thinking." Kurogane let it go, thinking the mage was thinking back on Sakura and Syaoran. The ninja turned Fai's face up towards him and kissed him, hoping to distract the blonde from his thoughts about the kids.
"Go to sleep, you can talk to the kid and princess tomorrow if you miss them that badly." Nodding, the blonde turned back around, saddened by the act he was lying again to Kurogane. He knew that he'd have to tell him soon.
-----
Both Ryu and Yuki ignored the woman watching them play. They glared whenever their eyes met hers. They stayed among they flowers and high bushes as the hours passed, not wanting the woman to watch them.
"The two of you seem tired, why don't you come and have some tea?" Both twins blushed at having been figured out, looking at each other they nodded and walked slowly towards the woman who simply smiled at them.
"Thank you." Yuki said as the woman handed him his drink. Ryu began to eat the small snacks laid out on the small tray between the three of them.
"The two of you are twins?"
"Yep." the small blonde answered as his sister took the cup offered her.
"I have twins of my own."
"You have a little girl and boy too?" Ryu stared excitedly, never having known any other childen her own age.
"No, both are girls."
"What are their names?" Yuki asked around the cookie dangling out of his mouth.
"Chise and Chiho, maybe the four of you could play someday. I think the girls would like to play with children their own ages." The woman smiled warmly and both twins immediatley thought of their mother and aunt Sakura.
-----
Fai talked throughout the dinner, pouring sake for Kurogane and the others around him. He noticed a few times the looks directed towards him from Hekiyou, but overall everything went well. Even Kurogane didn't scowl as much, too happy with the promise of his life returning to normalcy in a few hours.
"I heard that Mihara-san had a talk with Ryu-chan and Yuki-chan this morning." The blonde smiled as he poured the woman a cup of tea.
"Yes, they are very kind children, they remind me of my own."
"Icihara-sama, the two of you have two daughters don't you?" Ashura asked from his seat beside Yasha.
"Yes, Chiho and Chise, such lovely girls, I believe they're about the same age Yuki-waka and Ryu-chan. Perhaps we could arrange a marriage between one of our daughters and your son Kurogane-sama?" Kurogane took notice of Fai's happy expression fading as Mihara spoke his daughters names.
"Ichiro, I'm sure Fai-san and Kurogane-sama wouldn't want that." The lord's wife placed a delicate hand onto his arm.
"I'm afraid lady Mihara's right, we want our children to grow up and find someone on their own. I'm sorry." Fai smiled sheepishly as Kurogane nodded in agreement.
"No problem at all." Ichiro laughed as he took another drink from his cup.
----
"I take it everything went well?" Yuuko asked as she appeared in the small mirror. The three in front of her gave varying expressions as they thought about the last few days.
"As well as can be expected." Tomoyo said as she smiled at the witch in front of her.
"There was some trouble." Yuuko stated, knowing the answer already.
"Some bastard kept hitting on clueless over here." Kurogane pointed at Fai beside him, who in turn stuck out his tongue childishly.
"I knew he was, he even made some...uh, nevermind." All eyes turned to Fai, who smiled sheepishly. Mentally swearing at having said that out loud. It seemed he'd have to talk about it sooner than he had wanted.
"What did he do?!"
"Ninja-san is so overprotective." Yuuko watched as Kurogane fummed and Fai tried to change the subject, his expression becomming slightly more serious.
"It's because he loves Fai-san," Tomoyo smiled and leaned to the side slighty to avoid a vase that had been thrown. "Even if it is a seemingly dangerous love."
"They're just flirting like children is all, they more Kurogane gets angry the more he likes Fai."
"True, I just hope they don't start a war over all of this."
"Kurogane's not that stupid and Fai's too smart to let him to something as silly as start a war over some admirer." Both women watched as Fai lead Kurogane out of the room.
----
"Why the hell didn't you tell me?!" Kurogane stopped, forcing Fai to as well, once they were far enough away from everyone.
"Because I know that you wouldn't stop to think before going after him."
"Next time I see that bastard, I'll run him through!" Kurogane growled and punched the wall closest to him. Fai winced at the small crater made in the wall.
"That's why I wanted to wait to tell you, besides I didn't leave him completely unharmed."
"Next time something like that happens tell me or kick their ass. I don't want to learn about you almost getting raped a month after." Kurogane stareddown at Fai as the blonde took his larger hand and checked his scatched knuckles.
"I know, I didn't want anything to happen, Suwa is still in its infancy and I didn't want to be the cause of bad blood between you and someone who may be a valuable aly."
"And I don't give a shit, I said I'd protect you, but I can't if you keep things like this from me." Fai nodded in agreement before burying his face against his lover's chest. The ninja sighed, before wrapping his arms around the mage, hoping thaty his words would eventually sink in.
"Kuro-ginta's too nice for his own good."
"Who the hell said I was nice?!"
"I did."
"I won't forget this."
"I now, it just means I have to work harder to get rid of bad habits."
