Ehehehehe...I'm supposed to be working on college stuff...or at least my other fic...but, here I go and write a new one. ; I hope that those of you who read my other story are still looking forward to the next installment. It's hard to write about Kurogane and Fay's graduation from high school when my own is coming up so rapidly! Hopefully I'll be able to write it soon for everyone!

Anyway, about this story...I had the idea for a while floating in my head, and knew the writing format I wanted to use and everything, so I figured that this would be a good thing to write down before I lost it. Thank goodness I did too! I think that it came out really well. (It's my first smutty-ish fic as well / It was very hard to write this one in school, haha.) Anyway, like my other fic, Through the Ages -shameless pimp-, this fic also follows the life of an AU Kurogane and Fay. I hope that you enjoy it!

"Hey! No biting! Cut that out!"

Kurogane was 16.

Kurogane was fulfilling community service hours at a local Montessori school.

Kurogane was getting beat up by small children.

"Children, please listen to Kurogane-kun when he tells you to do something." Of course when one of the teachers said something the children left the agitated teen alone.

Kurogane let out an exasperated sigh and turned around to look for something to busy himself with, but was stopped in his tracks by a small blond boy who couldn't possibly be more than six or seven. (Though, Kurogane found out later that he was nine.)

"What? Shouldn't you be doing something?" Kurogane growled, glaring down at the boy.

"No." The boy responded, casting his brilliant blue-eyed gaze upward to look at Kurogane.

"Go and learn something." The teen snapped before stepping around the boy and walking to the other side of the room. He paused when he realized he was being followed. "What?" Kurogane glared at the blond boy.

"This is a Montessori school. I can choose what I want to learn, and I want to learn about you." The boy smiled at Kurogane, unafraid; the look made Kurogane feel uneasy, but intrigued. Why was this boy being so persistent? Kurogane allowed himself to be dragged along to a table and he sat opposite from the blond, who then introduced himself as Fay.

"Do you live in this town?" Fay asked.

"Yeah..." Kurogane responded.

"Where do you go to school?"

And so the questions game began and Kurogane answered most of the strange and personal questions that were asked.

"I have to get going." Kurogane said, just realizing how much time had passed.

"Just one more." Fay protested.

"Fine."

"Will you be coming back?" Fay asked. Kurogane swore he'd seen a trace of sadness and worry cross the blond's features.

"Yeah, I've got another service hour next week."

Fay beamed, "I'll see you next week then.

--

"Just what do you losers think you're doing?"

Kurogane was 20.

Kurogane was late for work.

Kurogane was stopped on the side of the road to break up a one-sided fight, several versus one.

"We're just trying to get some money we're owed from out friend. Ain't that right, Fay?"

Kurogane's eyes widened behind his helmet mask at the name. It wasn't a common name...it couldn't be the same scrawny kid who he'd spent all his community service hours with, or could it?

Kurogane lifted the helmet off his face and blinked as his eyes adjusted to the sunlight. Sure enough, a small blond boy who looked too small for his age was backed up against a graffitied brick wall.

"Idiot, what're you doing in this part of town anyway?" Kurogane growled, causing the blond to look up. The worried and scared expression on Fay's face completely melted away upon seeing the older man. "Whatever...just put on the spare helmet and let's go."

Without a shred of hesistation Fay ran forward and climbed on the bike. As soon as the helmet was on and Fay's arms were wrapped around Kurogane's waist, he took off down the street. Fay buried his face into Kurogane's leather jacket, glad for the sudden appearance of the teen from his past.

Kurogane slowed his bike to a stop, parking in front of a pizza shop. "You've already made me late for work, so there's no sense in going in now." Kurogane sighed as he slid off the bike, Fay followed his example.

"I've missed talking to you, Kuro-sama."

Kurogane cringed at the bizarre nickname, "It's Kurogane...come on, let's just go get something to eat." Kurogane muttered as he turned toward the shop.

Fay grinned and tailed after, "Sounds good to me."

--

"What are you still doing here? Class is over."

Kurogane was 24.

Kurogane was a math teacher at the local high school.

Kurogane was staring down the blond teen who had taken up the job of being the teacher's shadow.

"Is there some rule that says I can't talk with a teacher about the class after the bell? Actually, I believe that sort of thing is encouraged." Fay grinned and leaned on Kurogane's desk. Kurogane studied his student for a moment. The last four years had transformed the boy. He looked his age, if not older, and became extremely handsome. All of the girls were vying for his attention; however he had turned down every girl who had ever gotten up the nerve to ask him out.

"Hyuu Is Kuro-rin-sensei checking me out?"

Fay's maturity level, unfortunately, had not changed.

"Get to your next class, would you?" Kurogane growled, doing his best to stare down the teen, but Fay just smiled.

"The day is over. I don't have to go anywhere right now." Fay lifted himself up onto Kurogane's desk. Kurogane sat down in his chair with an annoyed sigh.

"I do this every Friday afternoon Kuro-wan, aren't you used to it by now?"

For the past four years somehow Fay had gotten Kurogane to take him out for pizza every Friday after school.

"Don't you ever want to do something different?" Kurogane said, staring at Fay, who was leaning over, deliberately invading Kurogane's personal space.

Fay shrugged, "As long as I get to be with Kuro-chan, it doesn't matter. But if Kuro-sama wants to do something different...we can try something new."

Fay closed the remaining space between himself and his teacher, pressing their lips together. Fay ran his tongue along Kurogane's lower lip. Kurogane found he was responding to the kiss and was planning on going further until he realized what was happening. Kurogane grabbed Fay's shoulders and pushed him away. His student looked confused and hurt, like he was going to crumple in on himself and disappear.

"Kuro--"

"Look, not now. We're in school. I'm your teacher. You're a minor...need I continue on?" Kurogane hissed, afraid someone might hear, though there was clearly nobody around.

Fay shook his head, "No. I knew already that it wouldn't work out." Fay slid off the desk and headed for the door.

"Hey, wait!" Kurogane stood up and caught Fay's arm. He spun the teen around and held him close to his chest. "You're young. Wait a few years before trying that on me again, or at least until we're somewhere where I can't lose my job and get arrested."

"Then...can I come over your place tonight?" Fay asked.

"What?" Kurogane looked surprised.

"You're the one who wanted to do something different." Fay pointed out.

"Yeah, but...fine, just don't tell anyone." The teacher sighed as Fay wiggled free of his grip and practically skipped to the door.

"I'll see you tonight then!" Fay paused in the doorway and gave Kurogane a wink, "And, I may be young, but I know what I'm doing."

--

"Hey! No biting! Cut that mmf--!"

Kurogane was 28.

Kurogane lost his words when another mouth crashed into his own.

Kurogane was locked in a closet with a half clothed former student pressed up against him.

"C'mon Kuro-tan, that's not what you were saying last night." Fay chuckled into the crook of Kurogane's neck before working to unfasten the buttons on his lover's shirt.

"Listen, cut it ou--" Kurogane's words were lost again when Fay quickly undid the button on his pants and then wrapped his hand around Kurogane's already hard cock.

"Your lips say one thing..." Fay paused his speech to run his fingers slowly downward, smirking at the moan that slipped from Kurogane's throat, "But, your body says something completely different."

Fay parted his lips to take Kurogane in, but was stopped just before by a large tan hand pushing his head away. Fay looked up at Kurogane curiously.

"All I wanted to do was bring you the work you left at my apartment last night for the class that you're now late for, and you shove me in the nearest room with a lock because you can't control yourself for even a second." Kurogane growled through clenched teeth.

"It's just because Kuro-wan is so handsome." Fay said, his fingers danced along Kurogane's cock as he spoke, "And, I didn't want to go to class anyway...Besides, you can't say that you don't want me to do this." Fay grinned when he realized he had won this battle. Before resuming his previous actions, the blond looked up at Kurogane, "Don't worry, Kuro-tan, you can just repay me tonight."

--

"Where are the kids?"

Kurogane was 32, and Fay was 25.

Kurogane and Fay had adopted two young children, Sakura and Syaoran.

Kurogane and Fay had been living together for four years.

"They're both in bed." Fay responded, making room for Kurogane on the couch.

"This early?"

"Yes." Fay responded as Kurogane sat down, "They were outside playing with the neighbor's children all afternoon. You know how fresh air makes children tired."

Kurogane wrapped his arm around Fay and the blond snuggled closer, resting his head on Kurogane's chest. "Yeah." Kurogane kissed the top of Fay's head, lingering there for a moment, breathing in Fay's scent before sitting back up.

"Kuro-rin?"

"Yeah?"

Fay lifted his head and turned Kurogane's toward him and kissed him lightly, "I'm glad you're home. I missed you."

"I missed you too." Kurogane responded, smiling when Fay smiled up at him.

"Do you love me?" Fay asked.

Kurogane knew Fay knew the answer, but he said it anyway, "Yes, I love you."

Fay's smile grew impossibly happier.

"I love you too, Kuro-sama."

--

I hope that this was okay...I liked writing it, and, though I suppose that's a big factor in this, I want to make sure everyone else liked it too!

Also, feel free to challenge me on the Montessori school bit I mentioned. I don't know much about them, other than what I learned in my preschool laboratory class.

Through the Ages Chapter 13!

I ran down the empty hallways of the school, footsteps echoing off of the walls. It was still early and I was sure I was the only one up. I found my way to the headmistress's office. I needed to find out where Fay lived before I could go anywhere. It was hard to believe that I had known Fay for most of my life and I still had no idea where he lived.

I grabbed the doorknob on the office door, and, even though I wasn't surprised the door was locked, it was frustrating nonetheless. After a few tries I managed to kick the door open. I stepped inside and headed for the gray filing cabinets in the back of the room. I pulled on the drawer marked "F" only to find that to be locked as well.

"Damn it!" I spat, pulling on the drawer harder.

"You know, it works better with a key."

I turned around quickly, facing the speaker, "Obviously..."

"Is there any particular reason why you have broken into my office at 5:42 in the morning and are attempting to break into my filing cabinet?" Yuko asked, standing in the doorway.

"Yes..." I responded impatiently.

"Do I get to know this reason?"

"I need Fay's address."

"You don't have the right to access that information, Kurogane." Yuko said, setting a few items on her desk, "And, you could be severely punished for just breaking into my office. However, because I am a forgiving person, and also a little absent minded I'm going to leave the items on my desk there and leave the room for thirty seconds and hope that you are gone when I return." Yuko grinned before stepping back out of the room.

I jumped up and studied the items on the desk until I found the keys. I grabbed them, shoved the appropriate one into the slot, and pulled on the drawer; it eased open. I f thumbed through the folders until I found what I was looking for.

"Flourite, Fay D." I breathed. I pulled out the folder and opened it up. I quickly memorized the address inside. It was in a wealthier district on the other side of town. It would take at least half an hour to run there, maybe a little less. I shoved the folder back into its spot and, after closing the drawer, ran from the room. As I sprinted past Yuko she gave me an overly serious stare.

"Don't waste time." She said before stepping into her office.

I didn't have time to question what she knew. I hurried out of the school. My feet slammed against the pavement and my breath turned to mist in the early morning air.

---

By the time I reached the home that was supposedly Fay's, the sun had already risen and it was slightly warmer out. I stared up at the house; mansion seemed more appropriate though. I jumped the brick wall and walked quickly up the walkway. I threw open the door so hard that it hit the wall behind it. The inside of the house was significantly more impressive than the outside. The hallways I stood in was brightly lit with a chandelier and everything was practically sparkling it was so clean.

A tall man, he maybe had three or four inches on me, ran out in surprise. His hair was graying and he had a rather long beard. He was dressed in clothes which definitely said how much money he had. What stuck out most about him, however, were his eyes. They were a slightly duller shade of blue than Fay's and they were red around the edges, like he had stayed up all night or had too much to drink.

"Can I help you with something?" He asked, his slurred voice contrasting with his overall demeanor.

"Where is he?" I growled.

"Sir, I don't know...who you are, much less...who you are looking for." He replied, barely looking at me as he spoke.

"Liar!" I shouted. I grabbed the man's shirt collar and pressed him up against the wall, "You know exactly who I'm talking about!"

He let out a cold laugh, "What does it matter if I do?" He asked, his eyes staring unfocused on the wall behind me; I was close enough to smell the alcohol on his breath.

"Tell me where he is."

"He belongs to me." He began, "He killed the person I loved most in this world, it's only fitting that I give him the same pain he's given me." The man reached into his pocket and I heard the distinctive clicking of a pocket knife. The man suddenly pulled his hand out of his pocket and he thrust the knife toward my chest. However, he was drunk and slow, and I was faster. I grabbed the knife as it came at me with my free hand. I felt it cut into my hand but ignored the pain it gave me.

"Tell me where he is, now." I growled.

The man laughed, but did not give an answer. I glared at him and turned and threw him up against the wall, the knife landing somewhere between us. I gave him one last stare before running up the stairs in the hallway.

"Fay?!" I called, quickly walking through the hallway, opening doors and searching rooms. It surprised me how many different doors there were in this house, and in each room there were more doors, more places to search, more places Fay was not.

"Damn it!" I cursed as I opened up one of the remaining few doors and found myself in what had to be Fay's room.

There was a large bookshelf next to a bed, various art supplies scattered across a desk, and everything was coated in a thick layer of dust suggesting that nothing in this room had been cleaned or touched in years. What caught my eye however, were the bloody handprints on the closet door. I ran to the closet and threw the door open.

"No! Leave me alone!" Fay was in the furthest corner of the closet. His legs were pulled up to his chest and his head was hidden behind them.

"Damn it, don't just sit there, moron." I muttered, annoyance and complete relief in my voice.

"Kuro-sama...?" Fay lifted his head a little and one watery blue eye looked up at me. Moments after, he had me pulled down to the floor and his arms were wrapped around my neck and he buried his face in my chest. "Kuro-chan..." Fay was crying now. I carefully reached out and rested his hands on his back and pulled him closer to me. Fay's back was sticky and wet. I scowled and lifted one hand and saw that it was stained with blood.

My eyes widened and I pulled Fay away from me. I kept my hands on his shoulders and he looked away from me.

"Relax, geez, I'm not going to do anything." I muttered. Fay nodded and wrapped his arms around himself and bent over slightly, as if he was trying to hide himself from me. I pulled his arms away and saw that his shirt was either ripped or bloodstained. I frowned and carefully took his chin in my hand and turned his face toward me. His lips were cracked and bloody and there was a large gash under his left eye, which was black and swollen.

"What did he do to you...?" I more stated than asked.

"He had a knife." Fay mumbled.

"I know." I said, just remembering the cut on my hand.

"I didn't...he just..." Fay clenched his fists in his lap. "I didn't even say anything!" He shouted. I had never heard Fay yell before and it surprised me.

"I just walked in! He asked what I was doing here, and I said that I was getting my stuff from my room...and that was it!" Fay held back a sob and continued, "He kept telling me how it was my fault that my mother was dead...that because I was born, she was dead! She died because of complications during my birth, but it wasn't my fault! It wasn't...! I don't deserve this!" Fay then seemed to fold in on himself and he began crying again, "But, I feel bad for hating him because he's my father, and there are people like you who don't even have parents, and I feel like I should be happy that he's still here...but I'm not! I hate him!" Fay sat back up and rubbed at his eyes, "Sorry...I shouldn't have said that..."

"Is it true?" I asked.

"What?" Fay looked at me, confused.

"If it's true, then don't apologize. If you don't like someone, you don't have to." I stood up and carefully took Fay's arm and pulled him to his feet. "Get your stuff."

Fay nodded and grabbed a bag from the floor of the closet and began walking around the room, fitting as much as he could into the one bag. Fay's wounds were much more prominent in the light of the room, and it made me sick that Fay's father could do such things to him.

Once the bag was full I hoisted it over my shoulder, "Come on, you need to go to the hospital." I said, glancing down at my hand. I could probably use a bandage or two as well. I closed my hand into a fist and made my way out of the room, making sure that Fay was following me. I was shocked that he was still walking. Honestly, I had no idea how many cuts or bruises he had, but it had to be a high number for his shirt to be in the condition that it was, and I didn't know how much blood he had lost.

I began to walk down the stairs and felt Fay's fingers wrapping themselves around my sleeve. His father was still in the hallway where I left him, except the knife was in his hands now. Halfway down the stairs he looked at us, causing me to pause in my step.

"I have nothing to live for." He said. He looked behind me at Fay, "I've had nothing to live for...for eighteen years..." In a quick motion he brought the knife up to his throat and quickly cut across it.

My eyes widened in horror at what had just happened, and Fay's hands tightened around my arm and a choked shout escaped his throat.

Blood gushed from the man's wound, spilling down his chest and onto the floor. If I had wanted to do anything to save him, it wouldn't have mattered, he was already dead.

I turned around and Fay looked paler than he usually did.

"Hey..." I began, not really knowing what else to say.

Fay pushed past me and ran down the stairs, pointedly avoiding his father's dead body, and running outside, "Hey!" I called after him, thinking he was running away. Fay stopped once he was down the path and he leaned over the wall and threw up. I heard him shout something before he leaned over the wall again.

I glanced toward the body for a moment before deciding to call the police. I found the phone in a parlor room on the first floor and after I called the police and explained the situation I went outside and found Fay leaning over the wall coughing. I walked over to him and rubbed his back lightly. He continued to cry until after the police showed up. We were questioned by all of the cops there to the point where the story began to get annoying. They decided that we were in the clear and needed medical attention, so they drove us to the hospital. Fay passed out on the ride there.

---

Three hours later the two of us were let out of the hospital. Fay ended up needing stitches on his face and on various parts of his stomach. Everything else was either bandaged or just bruised. The hospital had given Fay a shirt to wear on the way home too.

Eventually, we caught a taxi and we rode back to the school in silence. We walked up to our room, ignoring the stares and questions of people in the halls.

I shut the door behind me once we were in the room and glanced toward Fay, who was lying face down on my bed, his face buried in my pillow.

I watched him for a minute, not really knowing what to say. What could one say after a situation like that? 'Hey, I'm sorry your father abused you to the point of unconsciousness and killed himself in front of you.' That would surely make Fay feel better.

I sat down at the foot of the bed and I linked my hands together in my lap. After a time the silence became overwhelming and I glanced back to look at Fay, who's only movements were the shaking of his shoulders telling me he was crying again.

"I have to figure out the funeral." Fay said, turning his head so his voice wouldn't be muffled. "Nobody else is around to do it..."

"I'll help." I said.

"I don't think anyone will come...I don't have any relatives. The only people who'll come would be his colleagues, or people who think they'd get something out of it." Fay was sitting beside me now.

"What do you mean?"

"Money." Fay stated bluntly, "We weren't exactly the poorest...family on the street."

"I noticed." I said, remembering the immenseness of Fay's house.

"My father didn't have a will or anything...so whatever's not used for the funeral will belong to me I guess." Fay rested his head on my shoulder before continuing. "It'll pay for college...It'll probably pay for you too if you'll let me pay it." Fay looked up at me seriously.

"What? No, you can't--"

"Yes, I can. And, I'm going to. I owe so much to you...I don't even think that'll settle the score but--"

"There is no score. I've done what I have because I've wanted to." I muttered.

"And, I'm doing this because I want to." Fay responded.

"But--"

"Too bad, end of discussion." Fay laughed quietly before kissing me gently on my cheek. "Thank you, Kuro-tan."

---

The funeral was small, as Fay predicted. There were maybe only ten people, all of whom, Fay said, worked underneath his father.

"What did your father do anyway?" I asked.

"He owned and operated most of the ski resorts and mountains in the popular areas north of here." Fay explained, pausing briefly as someone apologized to him for his loss. Fay merely nodded to them before looking back to me, "Though, I guess they all belong to me now...I'll probably sell them." Fay mused.

After a while the two of us were the only ones left standing beside the coffin. Fay turned toward the coffin and stared at it silently for a few minutes.

"You were never my father." Fay drew in a shaky breath before turning back to me, "Let's go do something fun." Fay said with a small smile.

And so, Fay and I went to the park and sat on the swings eating ice pops in our funeral attire.

"Two more weeks, Kuro-wan." Fay said, rocking the swing a bit.

"Huh?"

"We graduate in two more weeks." Fay elaborated with a sigh, "The best part of our life is over."

"We still have most of our lives ahead of us." I replied.

"True, true...but who knows where these next few years will take us. What if we grow apart? What if we go to different colleges and lose touch? What if--"

"You can't live life on 'what if's.'" I said, "If we don't want to lose touch, we won't. Besides, if I wanted to stop talking to you, I would have done it twelve years ago when I first found out how annoying you were."

Fay laughed and jumped off the swing. He landed easily on his feet and turned around to look at me, a charming smile on his face.

"Thank you so much, Kuro-rin." Fay said.

"For what?"

"For everything!"

---------------------------------------

TT One more left guys! I may write random drabbles for this, or even continue it through college...but the planned ending is their graduation! And, that's the next chapter! -woe-

I'm sad.

Anyway, this chapter was really, really hard to write. I have a few issues with how Kurogane reacted to everything, but I think that's how he would act...so...

And, I feel like I made Fay not like Fay...but I guess that's alright, because I don't think it was too bad...

Thanks for reading! Wait for the next chapter, I'll try and have it up as soon as I can!

New Chapter Ya'll!

"Can you believe it?"

"Believe what?"

"We have less than one month until we are tossed oh-so rudely into the real world!"

I shrugged. Frankly, I couldn't believe that four years had gone by that fast, but they did, and I was now closing my senior year of high school. Fay had spent almost every minute of those four years attached to my hip. I'm pretty sure that the only times I spent away from him were when I was in the bathroom.

I had tried several times in the past few years to get Fay to confront his father, to at least get some of his belongings from his home, but Fay would just say, "There's something else I need to confront first."

Eventually, I stopped asking.

"Are you sticking to your decision about prom?" Fay asked, pulling me out of my reminiscing.

Prom. The big senior dance, the last hurrah, etc, was tonight...and I wasn't going. Several girls had gotten up the nerve to ask me, but I had turned them all down. It's not that I didn't like any of them; it was more that I just didn't want to go with them specifically. I didn't even know who I wanted to go with. So, I decided that I would sit on my bed playing computer games in my pajamas all night.

Sorata had rented me a tuxedo just in case I decided that I wanted to go at the last minute, however.

"Does it look like I'm going?" I growled in response.

Fay laughed from in front of the mirror where he was brushing his hair. "Just because you don't have a date, since you turned down practically every girl in the class, doesn't mean that you can't just come with me and the guys."

"You turned down every girl who asked you too, you know." I pointed out.

"Yes, but that is because I agreed to go with Touya-kun, Yukito-kun, Doumeki-kun and Watanuki-kun as a massive group. You don't need a date, you know." Fay said, turning to look at me now.

"Watanuki isn't going with Kunogi?" I asked, honestly surprised.

"Himawari-chan is vacationing with her parents this week." Fay paused, "Watanuki-kun was depressed for weeks..."

"Poor guy never has any luck with that girl."

"It's a shame...they'd really be cute together. So, anyway, how about it Kuro-chan, are you going to come, or not?" Fay asked.

"No. I don't have a date, and I'm not going with your mob." I replied. I exited out of the game I had been playing so that I could glare at Fay.

Fay shook his head and walked over to our fridge. He grabbed something from inside, hiding it behind his back as he walked over to me. He stood by my bed for a few minutes as though he was trying to make his mind up about something, before he presented me with a boutonnière, one that matched his own.

"Then, how about being my date?" Fay asked.

When I didn't answer, Fay spoke again, "Please, Kuro-sama? I really want you to come...I won't have any fun without you."

After what seemed like hours of silence I snatched the boutonnière from Fay's hands, "Fine." I growled, "I'll go, but I'm sure as hell not staying the whole time."

Fay smiled brightly, "Thank you, Kuro-tan! You're going to have a good night, I know it!"

About 30 minutes later I had gotten changed and was ready to go. Fay pinned the boutonnière to my vest and I pulled on my coat.

"You look so handsome, Kuro-pii. I understand why all those girls were asking you to go with them." Fay laughed. The blond reached up to straighten my tie. His hands lingered on my chest, "Really, Kuro-sama, I'm glad that you're coming with me." Fay rested his forehead between his hands, and for a second I thought he had fallen asleep. But, when someone knocked at the door, Fay sprang to answer.

"Yo, you guys ready?" It was Touya and the other guys.

"Yup! C'mon, Kuro-rin, let's get going!" Fay grabbed me by the arm and pulled me into the hallway. "I'm not letting you go until we're safely in the ballroom. I don't want you to run away from me."

"I'm no--" Fay, however, was now talking jovially to Yukito, rendering my protest useless.

The prom's theme was "A Night in Paris," a typical romantic theme. The school's ballroom was decorated with all sorts of lights and props relating to this theme. The room was already pretty crowded as well. A few couples and circles of friends were out dancing while others sat at tables chatting amiable with their companions.

Their group attracted minimal attention from the prom-goers when they walked in, mainly Kurogane noticed they eyes of the girls he had turned down on him. He allowed Fay to pull him along until they found an empty table. The six of them hung their coats on the backs of chairs, partially to claim the table as their own, but the room was actually pretty hot.

"Watanuki-kun, who is that with Ichihara-sensei?" I heard Yukito ask.

I glanced around until I found the teacher chaperones and saw the tall, bespectacled man that always seemed to be around the school, with Yuko especially.

"Oh, that's Clow Reed-san...Would you stop staring at me like that?!" Watanuki was now glaring at Doumeki.

"You were talking..."

"Whatever, I don't need to hear your lame excuses...Anyway, Reed-san is vice principal in training...let's just say that if Yuko-san is the head, then Reed-san is the neck that moves the head in the direction he wants, most of the time, anyway."

Now that I was looking at this Clow guy, I realized that he was the same guy who was with Yuko during all the room inspections we had late at night...

"Kuro-sama, you should go over and ask that girl to dance." Fay said, pointing to a short, brown-haired girl, who whispered excitedly with her friends when Fay pointed to her.

"I think they'd rather you." I grumbled.

That was how it started. Fay pushed me over to their table and then I was out on the dance floor with the girl; Fay was a few feet away with one of the girl's friends. Over the course of the night Fay made me dance with every girl that had asked me to prom. I didn't mind so much since it seemed to satisfy the girls, who were almost all upset when I had turned them down.

About an hour later I left the dance and made my way outside for some of the fresh air. I found a tree not too far from the dance and leaned on it, staring up through its branches at the sky. I could still hear the slow beat of the song playing inside.

I had just turned around to go back inside, when I found myself staring at Fay, who looked about as surprised as I did to see him there.

"I didn't expect you to turn around." Fay laughed.

"I didn't expect you to be standing here like a creep." I retorted.

"Aw, I'm not a creep. I just came out here to see if...if Kuro-tan would share a dance with me...?" Fay was already wrapping his arms up around my neck and he rested his head on my chest, "Please?"

I grumbled something but I rested my hands on Fay's hips and we moved to the beat of the slow song that was barely audible from where we were standing outside. Fay knew most of the words and sang along quietly. I hadn't heard Fay sing alone in a while; I'd forgotten how pure and strong his voice was when he did. I could tell even now with his voice barely more than a whisper.

"Hey, Kuro-sama?" Fay asked about halfway through the song.

"Yeah?"

"If I did something weird right now, and you thought it was weird, would you forgive me for doing it?"

"What the hell kind of question is that?" I asked.

"Just answer it." Fay responded.

"Well, yeah, I guess so, but--"

My sentence was interrupted by Fay's lips catching my own. My words became muffled in the sudden kiss.

Fay pulled away a short second afterward. His face had more color in it than I had ever seen on the blond's pale skin.

"I'm sorry." Fay said quickly. He turned to leave, but I caught his wrist.

"Don't apologize for such stupid things." I found myself saying.

"What?" Fay had turned to look at me, the blush still on his face.

With that one kiss, so many things became clear to me. All the nicknames, the things that were said, the subtle touches...all of it just clicked now. Fay liked me...no, it was more than that. How much more, I didn't know.

But, what about myself? Did I like Fay? I liked the way his body felt pressed up against mine when he snuck into my bed. I liked the way his hair fell across his face, but never truly covered his eyes. I liked the way his smiles came so naturally, and how his mutilations of my name rolled off his tongue. I couldn't believe I hadn't realized this before. Looking back I realized that even Tomoyo knew of my feelings before I did. I didn't just like Fay, I loved him...everything about him.

"Kuro-sama...your hand..." Fay wasn't looking at me anymore, but at the grass by his feet.

I glanced at my hand, which was still clasped tightly around the blond's thin wrists. In a quick motion I pulled my hand back, taking Fay with it. Fay made a noise of surprise as he found himself falling into me. He looked up at me, questioning.

For an answer I leaned down and kissed him. He seemed shocked at first, but he responded quickly.

I don't know how long we stayed like that, kissing, touching, exploring...but it wasn't long enough when Fay pulled away. His face was red again, and his vest and shirt were both undone; his tie lay forgotten in the grass, and his breath was short. I was sure that I mimicked his appearance.

"The dance lets out soon..." Fay said, glancing toward the doors of the ballroom. Fay didn't want to be seen.

"Do you want to head back?" I asked, picking up Fay's tie off the ground.

"Do you think the others will mind that we left early?"

"We've already been gone for a pretty long time." I pointed out.

"Alright...let's go then." Fay said. He laced his fingers in between mind, and together we walked back to our dorm, stealing kisses along the way.

Once inside the dorm room Fay attached himself to me. I pressed him up against the door and continued to kiss him, trailing along his jaw and down his neck, coming to rest at his collar bone.

"Kuro-chan...?" Fay breathed. I grunted a response, and Fay continued, "Are you serious?"

I lifted my head to look at Fay, "Huh?"

"Are you serious? If you're not, then I'd rather you didn't toy with me like this..." Fay's voice trailed off at the end, afraid of my response.

"You're an idiot." I growled.

"What...?"

"You've always been a moron, but I didn't think you were that dumb." I pulled Fay up against me and began working my fingers through his hair. "I would have let you know if I didn't like you...I wouldn't play with your emotions like that." I said, a little offended that Fay would even consider something so low from me. I gently kissed the top of Fay's head, "I love you."

Fay pushed away from me and stared at me, surprise spread across his face. He made me repeat myself, to the point of annoyance, until he was sure that I was telling the truth. He leaned up to kiss me, "I've always loved you." He whispered in my ear before he rested his forehead against my shoulder.

After several minutes, Fay let out a content sigh and pulled away.

"I'm going to get changed." He announced. He walked over to his dresser and pulled out a pair of pajamas before going into the bathroom. I stood there for a few seconds, confused, but happy. I got changed into my pajamas in the room and climbed into my bed. A few moments later I heard Fay return, and he climbed into bed next to me.

"I'm glad that I confronted this..." I heard Fay whisper into my back as I drifted off to sleep.

---

The next morning I woke up and noticed immediately that Fay wasn't there. I sat up and as my eyes adjusted to the morning light, I noticed a piece of paper tacked to the door with Fay's handwriting.

I stood up, grabbed the paper off the door and read it.

"I have one more thing left to confront."

I reread the paper a few times until it finally made sense.

"Damn it!" I growled. I shoved my feet into my sneakers and ran out of the room.

Rooming with Fay was a lot easier than I had expected. For some reason I thought that he would have all sorts of weird habits, but the only one I noticed was that he took walks around the campus before going to sleep.

"It helps clear my head." He said. Occasionally I would go with him, but usually he went by himself. I guess it was like his own personal Fay-time.

We only had two problems with the rooming situation throughout the whole year.

The first problem was trying to find Fay a mattress. It took almost two weeks to get a hold of one. During those first two weeks, Fay and I switched off sleeping in the bed. However, on the nights where I slept in the bed, I usually woke up in the middle of the night to find Fay sneaking into the bed with me. I didn't really care much. Floors were uncomfortable; so, I ignored him and would fall back asleep.

What I didn't like, however, was how I would always wake up with him curled up next to me, his face buried in my chest. It felt too...okay. I didn't like it, so, I would shove him off the bed and say, "You could try and put a little more effort into finding your own mattress."

Fay would just laugh.

Eventually I ended up taking a knife from the cafeteria and slashing a hole in my mattress so that I could report it to the office as damaged, and they got me another one.

"Take that one to your room, and the torn one to the dumpster outside." Yuko had said, "Unless you want someone to come and pick up the old mattress for you..." She added, looking at me with that eerie, all-knowing grin of hers.

"I'll do it myself."

So, I dragged the mattress back and set it up on the floor for Fay.

"Now you can sleep in your own damn bed." I muttered.

I could have sworn that Fay looked disappointed for just a moment before he grinned and said, "You're too good for me."

The next day Tomoyo came over after class to repair the tear I had made in my own mattress.

"Fay-san is living with you?" Tomoyo asked, curiously, glancing toward the blond. He had headphones on and was doing some of his homework.

"Yeah." I replied.

"I hope that you take good care of him." Tomoyo said, not bothering to ask about why he was living with me.

I scowled and Tomoyo laughed as she cut off the thread, "I'll leave you two alone then." Tomoyo gave me a pat on my arm and left the room.

The second problem was much more complicated than getting a hold of a mattress.

It happened around two in the morning; Yuko came shouting down the hall, banging on all of the doors.

"Everybody up!" She called, "One of the upperclassmen was found with illegal substances on campus, and so we're having a surprise room inspection! Everyone into the hall."

I rolled groggily out of bed and into the hallway. I figured I'd just let Fay sleep...that was until the witch laid down the ground rules.

"I am, along with my associate," She pointed at a tall man with long black hair, pulled into a ponytail at the base of his head, and glasses, "Looking for anything out of the ordinary." She said, "By which I mean anything ranging from drugs, to alcohol to...guests who aren't signed in." I felt as though she made it a point to look at me when she said that.

It was then that I realized that I could get in major trouble for keeping Fay in my room. I visibly tensed, and Yuko pointer her finger at me.

"Kurogane! You have 30 seconds to make the room decent!"

With out another word I stepped back into the room.

"Hey!" I hissed, shaking Fay awake, "We've got a problem, you've got to hide."

Fay made some sort of mumbled noise as I frantically glanced around the room, looking for a spot to hide the blond. The only place that could even hope to hide him was the closet. I pushed him inside. "Stay there...try and keep yourself hidden."

Fay gave me a tired thumbs up, and I quickly shut the closet door. I then practically leapt to Fay's mattress and had just finished throwing his blankets onto my bed and shoving the mattress underneath it when the door was flung open.

"Let the search begin!" Yuko cried. She was far too energetic for two in the morning. She told the bespectacled man to start on the room across the hall, Touya and Yukito's room, and she then set about her search of my room. She rummaged through every drawer possible, and checked behind everything. She bent over and looked under the bed, "An extra mattress?" She asked.

"My old one from the beginning of the year. I haven't had time to throw it out yet." I covered smoothly.

She nodded and made her way to my closet. I bit my lip as she opened it, only to see that Fay wasn't in there. I blinked, but said nothing.

"Everything seems to be in good order." Yuko said with a pleased grin on her face, "Good job." She said before she left the room, shutting the door behind her.

When I was sure she was gone, I peered into the closet, "You in here...?" I asked.

I heard a muffled sound coming from behind the coat that hung on the door. I went to lift the coat up, but it somehow gained an extra 100 pounds.

I scowled and lifted the coat, prepared for the extra weight this time, and turned it to see Fay grinning at me from inside the coat.

"Did we fool her?" He asked as I let him drop to the floor. I nodded as he wriggled out of the coat, leaving it on the floor. I decided to make him pick it up in the morning, and I went to pull Fay's mattress out from under my bed. I had barely moved it when I heard Fay fall onto my bed.

"Hey, sleep in your own bed." I grumbled. I waited for a response, but none came. He was already asleep. I sighed and lay down beside him on the small bed. He automatically cuddled into me when I laid down. I hesitated before wrapping my arms around him, and burying my face in his vanilla-scented hair.

I could always blame that on lack of sleep.

Other than that, nothing too eventful had happened as we approached the end of the year. All major vacations were behind us. Fay spent both spring and winter break with me and my family; I don't know how we pulled that off with Sorata and Arashi...I think we told them that Fay's father was traveling on business.

The only big event left for the school was the last day for senior students. They all got out a month before us. It really was a school-wide event because the seniors usually walked into the building shouting and screaming, and the whole school would get riled up.

The only one, other than myself, and maybe Doumeki, it was always hard to tell with him, who didn't seem excited was Fay.

Fay had this incredibly fake smile on his face all day, and would cheer with the other students whenever a senior who was cutting class walked by the classrooms shouting, but Fay just seemed off

When we got back to my dorm I confronted him about it.

"What's eating you?" I asked. I sat down on my bed and looked toward Fay.

He grinned up at me, "Nothing, I'm fine." He said, "See?" He pointed to his grin.

"Just because you're smiling doesn't mean you're happy."

"Well, just because you scowl all the time doesn't mean you're always angry." Fay countered.

I glared at the blond, who just laughed. "We were talking about you." I reminded.

"Well, if you must know, I'm a little sad that I probably won't get to see Ashura gain after today." Fay said, turning to look out the window, "It's just going to be weird to not have my first real...father-type person around anymore."

I glanced out the window for a minute too, "Have you said goodbye to him yet?" I asked. Ashura graduated today, and Kurogane felt a little bad for Fay.

"...No."

"Are you going to?"

"It'll be hard." Fay said, looking at me now. "Besides, he has the graduation ceremony right now, and you know that they all go out partying afterward." Fay said, "I'll catch him tomorrow when he's cleaning out his dorm."

I nodded, glad that Fay was at least planning on saying goodbye to his friend, even if I didn't like him all that much. After that, I let the subject drop and decided to do my homework.

Around 6:30 Fay got up from his mattress, "I'm going down to dinner, do you want anything?"

"Nah." I responded. I tapped my pen against my chin lightly as I stared at the problem in the book I was working on.

Fay watched me curiously and then came over to take a look at the problem himself. His eyes had barely glanced at the paper when he said, "26." He patted me on the head and left the room before I could yell at him. Even with the answer it still took me at least 15 minutes to figure it out, and another hour to finish the rest of the work.

I glanced at the clock. Fay had been gone a long time for just going down to dinner...then again, it was also about the time that he went for his walks too. It wasn't until 9:00 that I really started to get worried. The sun had set an hour ago, and Fay still hadn't returned.

I rose from where I had been laying anxiously on my bed and stomped out of the room. I decided to trace the steps Fay would have taken if he had gone on his walk. When I reached the back of the school I paused and glanced toward the woods.

I could hear the seniors out there celebrating; all of the teachers turned a blind eye toward it, despite the illegal drinking that was probably going on. I kicked absently at the ground and continued along my way.

When I rounded the corner I saw two silhouettes pressed up against the wall further down. I took a guess at their activities and decided to turn around and look for Fay elsewhere. I had taken a few steps away when the voices of the people behind me began to echo around me.

"A-Ashura...stop. Please, I don't--"

"Well, I do. I've waited for years to be able to be with you like this, but you just push me away. Not tonight though."

A couple of muffled noises occurred after that, but I didn't need anymore convincing to turn back around. I reached the two in seconds.

I grabbed the back of Ashura's shirt and I threw him around Fay and into the wall face first. I held his arms tight behind him and kept him pinned to the wall. He smelled of beer; he'd probably been out with the other seniors for the better half of the evening.

"Bastard." I said, shoving him harder into the wall. He winced, but didn't say anything. It was then that I remembered that Fay was standing beside us. I glanced over to him.

Fay's face was flushed, and his hair was a mess. The buttons on his shirt were all undone, exposing his chest. Ashura had been doing a good job of getting Fay's pants undone too. Fay was shaking, and there were tears in his eyes.

I growled and pulled Ashura off of the wall and threw him to the ground.

"Fucking bastard." I spat, placing a heavy foot on Ashura's back, "Listen the next time someone tells you to stop." I growled as I pressed my foot harder into Ashura's back until he shouted from pain.

I then turned to Fay, who still hadn't moved, "Get dressed."

With shaking hands and as if he didn't have a mind of his own he followed my orders.

I walked over to him, "Come on," I said, "Let's go."

Fay glanced toward Ashura, who was still lying in pain in the dirt, before he let out a chocked sob and threw his arms around me.

Instinctively I wrapped my arms around his shaking frame and held him close. We stood like that for a long time. I would occasionally glance back at Ashura as if I was making sure he was still there. Ashura, however, had apparently passed out. I assumed that it was from the alcohol in his system because I hadn't beaten him up that bad.

When the mosquitoes began to get annoying I said, "Let's go back to the room."

Fay only gripped the back of my shirt tighter and somehow he managed to press himself closer to me.

I sighed quietly and lifted the blond off the ground and cradled him in my arms. He kept his face buried in my chest as I walked the both of us back to our room. I didn't bother with Ashura. He'd wake up eventually, and wasn't worth my time.

When we got back to the room I pried Fay off of me and sat him down on my bed. My shirt was soaked from Fay's crying. I looked at Fay, who sniffed and rubbed at his eyes, trying to make himself stop crying.

"Are you alright?" I muttered, knowing the question was a stupid one.

"I...I don't know." Fay said, continuing to rub at his eyes.

"I'll be right back." I said with the intention of walking across the hall to ask Touya and Yukito if they had a box of tissues.

"No!" Fay said, looking at me in horror, "Don't leave. Please don't leave."

Fay looked so pitiful in that moment that I practically froze where I was.

"I don't want to be alone." Fay said, his shaky hands playing with the edge of the blanket on my bed.

I watched him in silence for a minute before I sat down on the end of my bed. I stared at the wall as I spoke, "What did he do to you?"

"Nothing." Fay responded after a moment, "You came by before he got too far."

"Why didn't you try to stop him?" I asked, turning to look at Fay, who was looking at the floor. When he didn't answer I said, "You could have at least pushed him away. I know you could have. Why didn't you?" Fay was a lot stronger than he let on, and yet he didn't do anything to try and defend himself.

"I couldn't."

"What do you mean you couldn't? Of course--"

"No. I could have, but I couldn't." Fay said. He looked at me before looking back at the floor and elaborating. "Ashura was always good to me...he never questioned me...he gave me a home...He was a lot like you in that way." Fay paused, "But, Ashura, to me, acted like how a father should act...And, I loved him that way. But, he loved me differently. He told me he did at the beginning of the year...I couldn't accept his feelings, and he seemed ok with it...until tonight anyway." Fay wiped at his eyes. It was hard to imagine he'd been crying for as long as he had been.

"Because I knew how he felt about me, and because he had given me the fatherly like figure I never had, I couldn't push him away. I thought that since I'd probably never see him after tonight, I could at least give him what he wanted from me..."

"So, even though you asked him to stop, you were just going to let him do whatever he wanted with you?" I growled.

"Yes."

"Are you stupid?! It could have gone a lot further than it did!" I said, glaring at Fay, who pointedly kept looking at the floor.

"Yes, but you showed up."

"What if I hadn't?!" I asked, ""You would have just stood there and let him practically rape you, wouldn't you?

Fay tensed lightly as I brought the reality of what could have happened to the surface.

"I'm sorry..." Fay mumbled.

"What the hell are you apologizing for?"

"I'm always causing you trouble." He said.

"No." I responded, "What were you doing out that late anyway?"

"9:30 isn't later, Kuro-sama." Fay laughed. He seemed to be relaxing a bit, "But, after dinner I went to the art room to try and finish up a project...Before I knew it the sun had set, so I decided I'd go for my walk. I met up with Ashura around the back of the school; I guess he had enough of the seniors. You can probably piece together the rest." Fay had begun playing with the edge of the blanket again. "Thank you." Fay said, "For always helping me...I'm such a pain."

"No." I said. I opened my closet and pulled out one of my shirts and shorts for Fay to wear as pajamas. The only clothing he had brought with him when he asked to move in was his school uniform, so we shared a lot of clothes, even if mine were several sizes too big.

After tossing those at Fay I grabbed some for myself and got changed; Fay did the same.

"It's late." I said. It was almost midnight. "We should try and get some sleep." I walked around to the side of my bed and I laid down on it.

I heard Fay shifting behind me before he, too, climbed into my bed. He curled up next to me.

"You've got your own damn bed you know."

"I know. But, I don't want to be alone..."

---

The next morning I woke up to a sharp knock on the door.

"Don't bother hiding him, Kurogane. He's allowed to be there." Yuko's voice called out to me.

I opened my eyes slowly and I found myself staring at Fay's sleeping face. I crawled out of bed, careful not to wake him.

"What do you mean?" I muttered as I opened the door. Even at the going-to-be-over-six-feet height that I was, Yuko still towered over me.

"This letter arrived on my desk this morning with instructions to deliver it to Fay, who would be residing in your room." She handed me the letter and then produced a few sheets of paper, "Along with that came the signed permission slips that allow a student to live in one of the dorms here."

"Who signed them...?" I questioned.

"18 year old Ashura." Yuko replied, "His birthday was last month, and 18 years old is considered to be an adult. And, because Fay lived with Ashura for more than 2 months, in my book he counts as some sort of guardian."

I stared at Yuko, still confused by what she had said.

"In other words, Ashura just saved you and Fay's butts from ever being expelled if you got caught."

I nodded a bit. I guess Ashura wasn't always as bad as I made him out to be.

"What time is it?" I muttered to the headmistress.

"About 6:30."

I slammed the door in her face and went back over to the bed.

Fay's face was now buried in the pillows and he was lying on his stomach. I smiled slightly and laid back down beside Fay.

Just when I was about to fall asleep, Fay laughed, "Hyuu! Even if Kuro-tan has another option for a bed, he still comes back to sleep with me!"

I growled and pulled out the pillow I was using and hit him over the head with it.

"Hey, that wasn't nice..." Fay said as he sat up, "Where's my letter?" He asked. I shoved the letter into his hands.

"So, you were up?"

"Yeah, I couldn't get much sleep last night...you snore too loud."

I threw a second pillow at him, "I don't snore."

"Ashura's a nice guy, hm?" Fay said as he began reading the letter. "I can't blame him for last night...he'd been drinking, and alcohol shows how a person really feels about something. Drunken men tell no lies."

"What's the letter say?" I asked, peering over Fay's shoulder to see it.

"It's an apology." Fay said with a sad smile, "And a goodbye. He's going to college overseas...He gave me his address 'to keep in touch or if you need anything signed again.'" He read from the paper, he was crying again.

"He wrote a message to you too." Fay said, wiping at his eyes before reading, "It says, 'Be the man I'll never be, take care of him.'"

I frowned as I tried to piece together what that meant.

"I guess he's not that bad of a guy." I muttered. Ashura had good intentions...but, I'd never forgive him for what he did to Fay.

"Nope...he usually knows what he's talking about." Fay paused and said, "Now, do as he said and take care of me; I want some breakfast."

I shoved Fay off of my bed and onto the floor, "Get your own damn breakfast." I said as I stood up and walked out of the room.

"Wait for me!" Fay laughed and ran after me.

-----------------------------------

That was a good 'un length wise. Makes up for the shoddy chapters I have been doing, haha.

I did this instead of summer homework! I hope ya'll liked it! XD

Um...so, I don't really know what to say about this chapter...Usually, I have a rant to say, but I can honestly say that I don't think I need to rant about this one...Everything worked out well together in my opinion. ;;

NEXT CHAPTER:

T3H PR0MZ?!

Thanks for reading!!

WOO! Finally a new chapter!

Is it sad that the only reason I picked up my notebook was because I was ill? I've been way busy, but now I have nothing to do because I'm lying in bed with a dehydration/heat/lack of food headache. I was going to wait before I started this section of the story; I wanted to see more about Ashura from the spoilers online. But, I haven't updated for you people in more than a month, and spoiler readers know that there won't be another update for two more weeks.

ALSO! If you don't read the spoilers, and you read this fic, please let me know in a comment. This story can roll with or without them, so if I have a reader who doesn't read the spoilers, I'll be happy to go with the original plotline instead of the spoiler plotline. (I'd rather not spoil anybody, you know?) Anyway, on to the chapter!

"It's hard to believe that you're moving out, Kurogane." Sorata said as he and I carried the last box into my dorm room. I had decided at the end of last year that I was going to take advantage of the dorms at the school.

"It'll be good for you to be out on your own for a while, Kurogane." Tomoyo had said when I ran the idea by her. With her approval I got a summer job working with Souma at the martial arts school to pay for the dorm, and I told Sorata and Arashi what I was planning.

I got them to agree, and now that I was all moved in, I was having second thoughts. The school wasn't far from the Arisugawa's apartment, but living on my own was going to be strange.

"Alright, Kurogane, we'll leave the rest of your unpacking to you." Sorata said, ruffling my hair. I glowered at him, but I soon found myself wrapped in a surprisingly tight hug from Arashi.

"We'll call you tomorrow, ok?" She said, stepping back beside Sorata.

"Yeah, ok." I said, though I did give her a little bit of a smile. His guardians took a step back to allow Tomoyo to say goodbye.

"Things will be different without you at home, Kurogane, and although it pains me greatly, I will see you off." Tomoyo said dramatically, "Though, I suppose I will still see you around campus."

"Yeah."

Tomoyo laughed and stepped into the hallway to join her parents. "See you soon, Kurogane." She waved and the three walked away. I watched until they had gone around the corner, and then I reentered my room. I glanced at the few boxes that were scattered across the floor.

"I guess I should unpack." I muttered to myself.

"Yeah, you probably should." A voice replied.

I jumped a little in surprise and turned around quickly to face the intruder, only to find Fay grinning up at me.

"Hyuu! So, Kuro-sama does get scared!" Fay teased from the doorway, "And, he got taller since I saw him last." He said, reaching up and patting the top of my head like I was his pet or something.

"No, you're just short." I muttered. I went to shut the door, giving Fay just enough time to slip inside before the door fell into place.

"How was your summer?" Fay asked as I went to unpack, "I didn't see you a lot, sorry about that."

"I thought you died when you stopped calling me everyday." I said, half serious.

"Yeah, well, Ashura complained about me running up his phone bill."

"Why were you using his phone?" I asked, peering over my shoulder to look at Fay. The blond looked as though he'd just let loose a government secret.

"Ah, well..." Fay paused, "I ran away from home Kuro-rin." He finally said.

"You just left?"

"Mhm, I didn't even take anything with me, well, I took money, but other than that, everything of mine is still at home. I suppose I'll have to go back eventually to get it..." Fay mumbled, his eyes looking somewhere far away.

"How long?" I asked, fully focused on Fay now.

"Since the end of last year. I would have gone to your place, Kuro-tan, but my dad would have looked there, and I didn't want to burden Arashi-san and Sorata-san." Fay explained, "Ashura lives alone, and he said that he didn't mind."

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why'd you run away?" I asked, irritated. One didn't just run away from home for several months without a good reason.

"Not today, Kuro-pon." Fay replied, a stern look in his eyes that made it hard for me to say, "Yes, today. I've got enough of your damn mysteries to deal with, and you're going to explain this one. Why did you run?"

Fay looked a bit shocked that I asked again, "I guess you should know." He almost whispered, "But, you can't tell anyone. Ashura doesn't know either. So, promise that you won't tell." Fay said, holding out his hand.

"I promise." I said, shaking his hand.

Fay shut his eyes for a moment; I waited patiently. Slowly, Fay began to take off his long-sleeved shirt. I stared at him curiously, but when his shirt was off, I knew why he had taken it off. His arms and torso were covered with faded scars and bruises.

"This one," He said, pointed to a particularly nasty scar in his side, "Was the reason I left. My dad threw a knife at me."

I stared at Fay as anger began rising through my system.

"I could deal with him hitting me, but weapons are dangerous, so--"

"Your father hitting you is dangerous too! You could have been killed!" I shouted. I was angry at Fay for not telling me about this sooner, but I was angrier with myself for not seeing it before.

"I fell down the stairs." "I just tripped over a rock on the way to school." "It's no big deal." "I'm not worth worrying about, Kuro-sama."

"Kuro--"

"Why didn't you tell me before?!" I asked, "I could've helped! You need to tell Yuko about this," I said. I hated the bitch, but she knew what she was doing, and would probably be able to help, "Come on, let's--"

I had just gotten to the door when I felt Fay slam into me and knock the both of us to the ground.

"No!" Fay shouted, placing his hands on my arms, successfully pinning me to the ground, "You promised! You can't tell! Besides, I'm not living there anymore, so it doesn't matter!" I could see the fear that shook his body in his eyes, "I handled it, ok? You can't tell!"

"...Fine." I reluctantly agreed. Fay wasn't in that environment anymore, and that was what really mattered.

Fay let out a sigh of relief. He rolled off of me and he sat on the floor. I sat up next to him, and we stayed like that for a few minutes.

"Kuro-chan?"

"Yeah?"

"Ashura is dorming here this year."

"So?" I asked, glancing toward Fay.

"Well, he's in the upperclassmen dorms, and freshmen aren't allowed to stay there, so I was wondering if I could stay with you?" Fay asked timidly, "I have money; I can pay for half the room."

"Why not get a dorm yourself?" I asked.

"Minors need a parental signature on the forms." Fay explained with a weak laugh.

I sighed, "So, you're asking me to harbor you like a fugitive in my room?"

"Yes." Fay laughed this time.

I stood up and threw Fay's shirt at him. He said, "Thanks," And pulled the shirt on over his head.

"I'll try to find a mattress for you before the week is up." I muttered, "Help me unpack."

I heard Fay gasp, and he wrapped his arms around me in a hug tighter than the one Arashi had given me earlier.

"Thank you so much, Kuro-sama!"

I made an annoyed noise and shoved Fay off of me. "Whatever."

Fay grinned and squatted down beside on of the boxes. He opened it up and pulled a yellowed piece of paper out. He unfolded it and let out a laugh.

"Hyuu! I found out all in one day that Kuro-pon can be scared, and that he's sentimental!" Fay said, grinning as he folded the piece of paper back up and walked over to my bed. "I know right where this one goes." Fay carefully slipped the paper under the pillow.

------------------------

Short, I know, I'm sorry.

I actually had a good time writing this chapter. However, the whole Fay confessing thing definitely wasn't supposed to happen here. ;;; It just kind of worked. -nodnod-

Also, this isn't the last we'll hear from Fay's dad.

PS-I loved Tomoyo in this one, bwahaha.

Thanks for reading, and waiting for this chapter!

NEXT CHAPTER!

GASPZORZ! It's the end of Fay and Kuro's freshman year, and Ashura's last year at the same school! What will happen?!?!?! Stay tuned!

I'm sorry for not updating in a while. I wanted to see where CLAMP was going with Ashura, but since they're not updating for another three weeks, I'll try and write the next chapter for you all...
Also, I've been a little bit busy with life and stuff. I've been trying to get out and go for walks and runs for field hockey, I play it at my school, and because I just feel a little better about myself when I do...
In other news, I'll be having a lot more free time on my hands now that I pretty much got laid off, so you can expect more updates from me.
I babysat for a living, and the father lost his job, so he's home now, and his getting laid off caused me to get laid off. -___-
Oh well, right? I wasn't going to be able to babysit for them in the fall anyway because of field hockey, so...
-sigh-
It's really a bummer when your source of income is snatched away from you.

Sun, 22 Jul 2007 03:40:39 GMT

So, I don't have anything at all to show you today, however, if you're feeling bored you can go look at my DA, I made a picture in MSPaint!
Anywho.
Just under 24 hours ago I bought Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the last installment of the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling.
Just under one hour ago I finished Harry Potterand the Deathly Hallows, the last installment of the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling.
THAT'S RIGHT BIATCHES, I AM SO DONE.
However, I accidentally fell asleep for four hours, so I'm taking those off of my time, and declaring I finished at 6:30 instead of 10:30. Because, the whole -fell asleep- thing wasn't even supposed to happen. I was all, let me just rest for like...5 minutes. And then it was 8 in the morning and I was like CRAP!
Also, if you don't read Harry Potter, I say go and buy the rest of the series just so you can read this book.
Spoilers under cut.

WOW, never has a book made me cry so much. The three times I remember crying most:Hediwg's death, Dobby's death, and Fred's death. I hardcore bawled when Fred died. Like, HARDCORE. I had to hold the book away so that I wouldn't get tear stains on the pages.
Also, that whole thing about Harry being a horcrux. Had that pegged.
Also, that whole thing about how Harry was going to have to die so that Voldemort would die. Pegged that too.
However, I am currently only counting that second thing as a half triumph on my part, because Rowling threw the whole thing about Harry's blood into the mix, which I totally didn't bring into account.
And, btw, this book was on the 7th grade summer reading list.
I would be TRAUMATIZED if I read this as a seventh grader! So much death, and blood, and death, and DEATH and blood, and angst, and death and blood and WOAH.
Though, had this book come out when I was in 7th grade, I would have read it...so I guess I shouldn't be saying anything on that matter. Hehehe.
Percy-So glad he came around.
LUPIN AND TONKS-SO NOT FAIR THAT THEY DIED! That's like, against the rules, J.K. ROWLING. -sniffle-
And, Fred. OMG, Fred. I LOVED HIM SO MUCH! -sniff-
The ear jokes at the beginning by him and George were excellent, haha.
I can't wait til this gets animated for one reason, and one reason alone.
I could care less about seeing the action scenes, voldemort die, whatever. All that pales in comparison to DOBBY.
HAH MOVIE MAKERS, SERVES YOU RIGHT FOR CUTTING HIM OUT OF THE OTHER MOVIES!
He played a pretty crucial role here, and now the film people are going to be like, well...crap.

OH! Neville and the sword of Gryffindor...How the crap did he get a hold of that? -no idea- Did I just hardcore miss something?
Ok, enough spoilers.

Pretty much, my last 24 hours went like this.
12 AM-HARRY POTTER!
1 AM- *drinks soda and reads until 4*
4 AM- *unknowingly passes out while using deathly hallows as a pillow*
8 AM- I woke up needing to pee, but then realized I fell asleep reading, and continue on.
8:30 AM- My like, 20th bathroom break since 1 AM. I guess reading makes me have to go potty or something...
10:30 AM- To my annoyance, my friend calls so we can schedule driving hours. Though, I suppose it was a good thing because had she not called, I would not have left my room, and would not have eaten breakfast.
11 AM- *takes water and pop-tart to bedroom*
12 PM- The family decides that barging in my room while the door is shut every five minutes is their new hobby, and I get thoroughly distracted and yell at them to leave me alone, the head up to my bampy's to mow his lawn, and I go read on the deck. I awkwardly make myself a sandwhich and eat it whilst reading as well.
2 PM- Family returns and pester me on the deck. "Are you done yet?" "Are you just going to read that all day?" I tried the ignore them and they'll leave you alone method, it didn't work, so I went to my room.
5 PM- The family decides to return to their favorite pastime of barging into my room unannounced, and since nobody is on the deck, I go back out there.
6 PM- Mom feeds me ice cream because I haven't really eaten all day.
8 PM- Realized it was dark, came inside.
8:30 PM- I discover that my younger sibling is obnoxious and needs to have the volume turned up ALL THE WAY, so I go back up to my room.
9:30 PM- She barges into my room and decides to peer obnoxiously at my manga shelf whilst talking to me. I yell at her, and she leaves.
2 Seconds Later- Mom comes in and stares at me, notes that I look awfully uncomfortable using my dresser and floor as an awkward chair, and then leaves.
10:30- DONE. DONE DONE DONE!

-sigh-
I should go sleep now.

New Chapter!

Middle School Chapter 3 on FF!

Title: Through the Ages:Middle School Chapter 3
Author: airbender-chan/ichihara_yuko/omgitsdaina2
Fandom: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle
Rating/Warnings: T/PG And beware of uncreative names for nameless characters!
Chapter Specific Pairings:KuroFay, light AshuraxFay, FayxChii and WatanukixHimawari

Ok, you all probably find it obnoxious that I put notes at the beginning AND end of a chapter, but this time it's important, so please read. There's an insult used in this that I'm afraid some of you may take offense at, and all I ask is that if you are offended contact me, and speak to me about it. I just wanted to get that out there right off the bat. -nod- I just hope I haven't scared anyone away by now. Haha.

------------------------------------------

I never really talked to Fay, but the fact that he was no longer talking to me was more annoying than I thought it would be. I didn't really know why Fay had gotten so upset about what had happened, but I figured that I'd give him a few days to cool off a bit.

After almost two weeks it became clear that he wasn't going to talk to me anytime soon, so I decided to settle into a Fay-less life. It wasn't too long after that that people started to notice we weren't speaking.

"Kurogane-san." Syaoran had said to me as we sparred at our martial arts class, "Is everything alright between you and Fay-san?"

I scowled and didn't answer, but the boy boldly continued.

"Well, I think you should try talking to him. He seems a bit...lost." Syaoran paused to try and kick me, but I blocked and knocked him to the mat easily. "He spends a lot of time with that upperclassman and Chii...and, I guess he looks happy enough, but I think he misses you."

I grabbed Syaoran's hand and pulled him to his feet. The boy looked at me expectantly but I just walked away. If Fay missed me that much then he could come and talk to me.

He never did.

Apparently seventh grade is the time of everyone's lives where you start acting like an idiot. Well, I didn't lump myself into that group, and not very many of the people that I half-talked to fell into that category either. Excluding Watanuki, because I'd known him for two years, and he was always a bit of a loud moron.

But, his type of idiot wasn't even the same type of idiot that the rest of the class became. All of the girls became very cliquey and boy-obsessed. I turned down at least five different girls in the time that Fay wasn't talking to me. And, the boys did almost the same thing, only they obsessed over the girls and were more obnoxious.

This one group of boys kept giving me trouble, asking me to join their gang or something. I looked at the "gang's" self-proclaimed lead, a short pudgy boy with a pink mohawk and said, "From the looks of you, the only thing you'll be ganging up on is a bag of chips."

He tried to punch me fore that. I caught his fist, pushed him to the ground, and walked away only to round the corner and get another week tacked onto me two months of detention for initiating a fight from Yuko. Honestly, that woman's sole purpose in life was to make me miserable.

"Hey, you'll never know what life changes will be brought about from you hanging around in detention." Yuko would say with an annoyingly eerie smile on her face.

I didn't need or want any of the changes detention gave to me. Fay ignoring me completely, Arashi and Sorata being worried about the apparent trouble I was getting into at school, and Tomoyo being worried about me in general were not changes I really enjoyed having to deal with.

And so, everyday repeated the same monotonous routine of home, to school, to detention, to home. Before I knew it, it was December, it was the last day before Christmas vacation, and I was stuck in my last day of detention staring outside at the light flurry of snow coating the amount that we already had.

Most kids had already gone home, except for those that stayed for clubs, and pink mohawk's gang, who were throwing snowballs at a tree in the courtyard.

"I don't get why they just don't go home." Watanuki said from his usual seat next to me, "I mean, I would if I could."

"Same here." I mumbled, still staring out the window.

Fay and Chii were outside now as well. My gaze drifted to the two of them. Fay was holding a trash bag with something rectangular wrapped safely inside it. Chii handed Fay a small neatly wrapped present before bowing and quickly running out of the courtyard.

"She was probably embarrassed to be giving Fay-kun a Christmas present." Watanuki said with a small smile on his face.

"Like you were with Kunogi-san this morning." I caught myself muttering.

"What?"

"I was just wondering where Yuko-sensei is."

"Oh, I don't know. She's always late for everything." Watanuki mumbled as he went back to reading the book he had brought with him today.

I sighed and looked back out to the courtyard. Fay was heading across it no, his eyes were focused on the ground as he walked, which was probably why he was startled into falling backward when a snowball hit him square in the face.

I stood up quickly and looked out the window. Pinky's gang stood a few feet from Fay holding a few more awkwardly shaped snowballs, and from the looks of it, they were all holding more inside of their jackets.

Fay's hands were over his face as he sat up hunched over in the snow, almost oblivious to the taunts that were being thrown at him.

Fay removed one hand from his face and picked up the snowball that had just been thrown at him and he said something to the gang.

I frowned and opened up the window to hear what was going on, ignoring the chilling breeze that came in.

When I noticed that Fay was still holding one hand on his face I frowned, "It was just a snow--"

Fay was holding the snowball, the exact one that had hit him in the face, the exact one that should have broken into bits upon hitting him.

"Ice?!" I hissed as I gripped the counter by the window, "They threw ice at hime?!"

"What?" Watanuki asked, screeching his chair in his hurry to get to the window.

"What's the matter? Aren't you man enough to fight back in a snowball fight?" The mohawk kid said as he hurled another ball at Fay.

"Get out of the way!" I growled quietly.

Fay quickly rolled to the side, avoiding the hunk of ice. He then removed his hand from his face to push himself to his feet, revealing that half of his face was covered in blood.

"Oh, that's right; you're not a man at all, are you? You're just a prissy little gay boy, aren't you?" The gang leader said as they threw another ball, hitting Fay's arm.

Fay winced and gripped the spot that had been hit with his free hand.

"What's in that bag there? And the box? Are they gifts for your boyfriend?" The gang chuckled.

Before I had even seen it, Fay had found a good sized stick and threw it at pinky, hitting him with a thwap against his stomach, "At least I don't have pink hair."

The kid narrowed his eyes and snatched up an ice ball from his gang members. "You'll pay for that." He muttered.

Fay just stood stock still, a stunned look on his bloodied face as if he couldn't believe what he had just done.

"Move!" I said, glaring down at Fay, "Damn it, move!" I shouted, sticking my head out the window.

Fay glanced around, as if trying to figure out where I was before he took my advice and ran.

"I'm going to help him." I said. I ran to the blackboard and grabbed the teacher's pointer from it, "Tell the witch that I have more important things to do."

I barely heard Watanuki's "O-ok." as I sprinted out into the hallway and down it, taking the first staircase I saw. I pretty much jumped down all the stairs and I didn't stop running until I was outside.

"Where...?!" I breathed as I frantically turned my head looking for them. I turned around just in time to see Fay round a corner and reenter the courtyard.

"Get down!"

Fay obeyed almost immediately, and it was a good thing too, because the ball that hit me would have hit the back of his head, and a concussion was the last thing I needed to deal with right now.

I gripped me chest where the ice had hit, "Those things friggin' hurt." I muttered.

Just then the mohawk gang came around the corner and stopped suddenly when they realized that Fay was no longer alone.

"What are you doing here?" The pink haired moron demanded, pointing a quivering finger at me.

"Well, what, the seven of you against one guy doesn't seem like a very fair match. I thought I'd even things out a bit." I said with a grin as I held the pointer up like a sword. It was a lot flimsier than the wooden swords we used in Souma's class, but hopefully it would hold up nicely.

"This isn't your fight, leave now before we hurt you."

"This wasn't his fight either; you just pulled him into it." I said. Speaking of Fay, I grabbed the back of his wet shirt and pulled him to his feet.

"That's it; throw what we have left at the both of them!"

With their leader's command, the gang members produced several ice balls.

"There can't be much more after this." I muttered as the balls were thrown. I smirked as they sped forward. With a quick jump and strike the ice shattered into little shards, along with the pointer. "Tch." At least it had served its purpose.

Fay moved from his spot beside me and snatched a few of the shards before they hit the ground. In another swift movement the shards were flung back from where they came. They shot through Pinky's mohawk and eventually collided with the wall behind him.

Pinky blinked a little before turning toward his gang, "L-let's get out of here."

"Not so fast. I think you all have a bit of explaining to do." None other than Yuko Ichihara stood in one of the doorways that lead outside. "Kurogane, take Fay to the nurse. You will not be punished for self defense. These young boys, however, will be lucky if they're allowed back into the school once the board is done with them."

I glanced toward Fay, his face was covered in blood, and he looked like he was going to collapse, but he refused help, picked up his bag and box, and walked ahead of me and past Yuko inside. As I walked by her she said, "It's a good thing you were in detention, wasn't it?" She chuckled and then made her way out to the delinquents.

The only reason I caught up with Fay was because he was leaning against the wall with his hands on his face again.

"Go away, I'm fine." Fay said.

"No, you're not."

"Yes, I am." Fay insisted as he shakily continued inch by inch down the hall. When he fell, I quickly caught his wrist, stopping him before he hit the floor.

"No, you're not." I said again as I pulled his arm around my shoulders, "Just let me get you to the nurse, and then you can go back to hating me."

"I don't hate you!" Fay said, sounding a little hurt, well, emotionally that is.

"That's news to me." I retorted.

"I didn't talk to you for your own good! You worried too much about me, and even now, you're still worrying about me." Fay said, "I'm not someone worth worrying about..." He paused before looking up to me with a bit of a grin on his face, "What do I need to do to get you to go away?"

"You can't do anything. You're too stupid and accident prone for me not to worry about you." I muttered. Did Fay really think that low of himself?

"I guess that I'm stuck with you then." Fay laughed as we entered the nurses office.

"Goodness, Ichihara-san told me there was a fight, but this is worse than I thought."

"I think I just hit my nose right enough to bleed, it's probably not that bad." Fay grinned.

"Well, of course, but the blood loss is sure to make you dizzy, I'm surprised that you didn't pass out." The nurse cleaned Fay's face with a hot cloth and gave him a change of clothes; his were soaked through.

"You can change in the bathroom." The nurse said, "You're free to go after that." She then retreated into a side office.

Fay nodded and got changed quickly. When he returned he looked a lot better than he had before. He picked up the box Chii had given him and then the rectangular trash bag. "I hope it's not ruined...Would you still keep it anyway?" He asked as he handed me the bag.

"What?"

"It's yours; it took me almost three months to do." Fay smiled, "We had to paint a picture of a person for art club, and I chose you, only you didn't know. Open it!"

I pulled back the trash bag and revealed a black and white painting of the school from the courtyard. In one of the windows was a silhouette of me.

"It's a good thing you had detention everyday or I would have never got it done."

"Why didn't you do Ashura?" I found myself asking.

"Because you're my friend, Kuro-chan!"

I stared at Fay and the stupid grin on his face and left the room with a sigh.

"Wait up, Kuro-pon! I'm still kind of dizzy, and would rather not fall over." Fay said running to catch up to me. He tripped over his feet and grabbed my arm to keep from falling. He smiled slightly and continued to hold it and he rested his head on my shoulder while we walked.

"I'm going to come over your house right now and hang that up for you." Fay declared.

"Why? You should go home and rest."

"Nah." Fay laughed, "Besides, I need to make sure that this doesn't end up under your pillow like the other one."

-----------------------------------

"'You're just a prissy little gay boy, aren't you?'"

For those of you who had no idea what I was talking about, this was what I was worried about. I know people, a few of them close friends of mine, that get very offended when gay is used as an insult. So, again, if you are offended, please contact me via a PM and we can discuss it.

Also, yes it is possible to create ice balls. It happens very rarely. If you get a snow storm, and then the temperatures drop low enough, the snow can freeze, and you get a sheet of ice instead of snow, and you can chisel out blocks or balls of ice. It's wicked cool, haha. Except for when you are on the receiving end of said ice ball throwings...

I don't really have much else to say on this chapter, and the next chapter got screwed up in my mind, so I can't even tell you what's going to happen next...--

Haha, thank you for reading!

I put up new arts on DA if you are bored enough to bother

No, I don't have a new chapter...

Fri, 06 Jul 2007 04:05:05 GMT

Sorry, I've been in quite a writing funk. I don't know how to really start the next chapter...But, it'll get going eventually.
Plus, I've been busy with holiday stuff, work, friends and family birthdays. I don't hang out with my friends much because my work takes up a lot of time in the middle of the day, so it's kind of like, why bother, you know?
Anyway, I felt doodly last night so I drew some pictures.
And, I also felt doodly again today.
Only, I was sick today, so I fell asleep while drawing and had to finish it later. Haha. -phailure-

Pictures also found at my DA!

I was feeling the angst on this one. Sometimes I feel like I have to pull Tohru Hondas to make everyone else around me happier, and that's what inspired this. -nod- The words on the side said "For Everyone Else's Happiness" but, I cut them out, haha.

This is a very realistic interpretation of myself. Not even joking. XD
I love bubbles, btw. I wanted to be a "bubbleologist" when I was little.
And, the thing to my right...left, whatever, the little thing that isn't a bubble...It's the amorphous blob of my thoughts, and it's secretly the Zoloft rock, so I named my thoughts Zolft. (I very sneakily took out the second O.)

This pretty much sums up what I felt like today. And, that's actually what I'm wearing right now! -magical-

Me and my friend Foof were drawing together over AIM, lol...and he told me to draw a person on a picnic bench eating a sandwich with lettuce coming out. And so, I did. He kind of stole Danny Phantom's clothes, but that's ok. Hopefully Danny won't mind.
Especially because he'll be in a good mood because he's coming back to Nickelodeon for a third season!! -squee- I'm so pumped.
Now if only Avatar would come back for it's third season....

Well, I'm a bit stupid

Here I go and edit this LJ to post stuff in, and I forget to post stuff in it.
Goooo meee!
Anyway, I bring you the 8th chapter(Second Middle School Chapter)of Through the Ages! n_n

Title: Through the Ages:Middle School Chapter 2
Author: airbender-chan/ichihara_yuko/omgitsdaina2
Fandom: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle

Chapter Specific Pairings:KuroFay, AshuraxFay, light FayxChii, KuroTomo and WatanukixHimawari.

Fanfic Net Page Found Hither!

I think that there's a saying that goes, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." That's what Chii and Watanuki began doing about a week after the accident. Sure, the first week was rough for them. Neither one came to school for a few days, and when they did I found Chii crying on Tomoyo and Fay's shoulders at various points during the day. Watanuki had good control in class, but I found him sobbing in the bathroom more than once.

"K-Kurogane-kun!" He straightened up and wiped his eyes as if his crying would offend me.

"I don't care, y'know." I muttered, only continuing when Watanuki gave me a confused look, "If you're upset, cry." I explained.

He blinked a little bit before smiling, "Thanks." He paused, "Could you not mention this to anyone? Himawari-chan would have a fit if she knew I was still upset and didn't tell her." I nodded and went about my business.

But, after that they both began making lemonade. Chii's involved a large portion of Fay, but that was fine, I just didn't want to see her cry. Watanuki's lemonade involved cooking. He began making lunches for Himawari and, reluctantly, for Doumeki too and he even joined the cooking club after school. He was usually after school everyday now anyway to wait for Yuko to take him home. It was a complete shock when I found out that he lived with her now. I had been in my after school club, detention, for something I don't even remember, and when I saw Watanuki come in and sit down next to me, I eyed him curiously. He wasn't the type to get detention.

"I live with Yuko-sensei now." He had said, an unreadable emotion on his face, "So, since she's watching detention, I have to stay here."

"You live with that witch of a headmistress?" I hissed, glad that said witch hadn't entered the room yet.

"Yeah. She makes me do a lot of the cooking and cleaning..." He groaned, already sick of it after just over a week, but his expression softened, "But, I don't really know what I would have done without her."

"That doesn't change the fact that she's a cold-hearted bi--"

"Two weeks for insulting a teacher, Kurogane." Said the devil as she walked into the room.

I groaned, "But, I didn't--!"

"Do you want three?"

I sighed and slammed my fist down onto the desk, leaving a slight imprint.

"Three it is!" Yuko said with a chuckle.

"What? Why?!"

"Defilement of school property."

I groaned and settled for glaring out the window.

---

An hour later I had left the room only to be trapped again, this time by Fay's arms locking me into a hug.

"C'mon!" He said, taking my hand and pulling me down the hall, "You have to see the auditions!"

"Auditions for what?" I asked with a frown as I pulled my hand away from him. Fay pouted but kept walking, knowing that I was going to follow him anyway.

"For the after-school choir of course!" He answered with his usual easy smile on his lips, "You want to hear me and Tomoyo-chan sing, don't you?"

I made an indifferent grunt as my response, but I eventually found myself sitting down in the school auditorium with a quiet Fay next to me. Why was he so quiet all of a sudden? He had been chatty enough before we entered the auditorium...

"What's wrong?" I asked, keeping my voice quiet because someone was in the middle of an audition.

"I guess that I'm just nervous." Fay said, wrapping his arms around his stomach.

"You'll do fine." I mumbled, "At any rate, you'll do better than this girl."

The high school student on stage was evidently tone-deaf, didn't realize that she sounded like a sick cat, and put up a fight when the choir's director informed her that she didn't quite make the cut.

"Well, I suppose that I couldn't do worse." Fay smiled, a little bit of relief spread through his face.

"Fay-san, we're almost up." Tomoyo said suddenly. I didn't even notice when she had got there.

"Are we really?" Fay asked as he stood up, "Alright, see you later, Kuro-wan." Fay smiled and then followed Tomoyo down the aisle and through the door that I'm betting lead backstage.

"Ok, next up we have Fay D. Flourite and Tomoyo Arisugawa auditioning with a duet that they composed together." The choral director introduced.

I flanced up and watched as the two of them walked on stage. Fay handed the pianist a few pieces of paper before stepping back beside Tomoyo.

When the piano began playing I found it hard to believe that the song had been composed by a third and a seventh grader. After several seconds of playing, Tomoyo started singing. Fay came in a few beats later, his rich tenor voice complimenting Tomoyo's soprano. They traded off the melody a few times, and when I glanced to the director he looked as though he had just discovered a diamond mine.

He raised his hand and in a swift motion he cut off the piano and the singing.

"That was wonderful!" The director said, clapping his hands together, "Both of you are in. Tell me, did you really compose that on your own?"

"Thank you!" Tomoyo beamed as she looked up to an equally happy Fay. He smiled and motioned for Tomoyo to continue. "It took us almost the whole summer. I wrote the vocals, and Fay-san wrote the piano part."

The director clapped his hands together again, "Wonderful! You must write something for the winter concert."

"I'm glad that you liked it so much." Fay said, "Thank you again."

With that they both left the stage and came back into the auditorium, still beaming. As they reentered the room the director called the next person onto the stage.

"Would...Ashura please come to the stage and sing the song you picked for us?" He asked as Fay and Tomoyo sat down beside me.

"We'll leave after this one," Tomoyo whispered, "We both have heard mixed things about Ashura-sempai, and we want to hear him for ourselves."

A tall upper-classman walked onto the stage. He had long black hair that was pulled back into a low ponytail at the base of his neck, and his skin was a pale shade that rivaled Fay's.

"Wow," Tomoyo breathed, "He's beautiful." Beautiful was an understatement. The guy looked and held himself like a god, but there was something about him that just didn't settle right with me.

When he began to sing I heard Fay's breath hitch in his throat, and when I listened I understood why. He sang like a god too.

"Wow." Fay said quietly when Ashura finished his Audition. Fay shook his head a bit before getting up and leaving the auditorium.

I glanced toward Tomoyo and we both rose and followed him outside. Once we were out of the school he turned to us with a huge grin on his face, "Ashura-sempai is so cool!" He said before looking toward Tomoyo, "I can't believe that we get to sing with him!"

"Me either, he was really wonderful." Tomoyo returned with a smile. When Fay began walking again, we followed, listening to him go on about Ashura's voice and how lucky they were that they would be able to get to know him better.

Tomoyo glanced at me from the side and her eyes told me that she had the same bad feeling about Ashura as I did.

---

Two weeks later I still hadn't managed to get rid of the bad vibe I got from this guy. That afternoon in detention I decided to take some action.

Yuko hadn't arrived in the room yet, so I turned to Watanuki, "Do me a favor." I said, causing the boy to jump, "I swear that I'll take any blame you get for doing it."

"Um, sure, Kurogane-kun...What do you need me to do?" Watanuki asked cautiously.

"I need you to go to the office and find this guy's files and bring hem to me." I explained as I wrote Ashura's name down on a piece of paper and handed it to Watanuki.

"What?! Why me?! I could get into so much trouble if I got caught!" Watanuki responded.

"It has to be you. Yuko is your guardian, so you can lurk around in the office without being suspicious." I explained, "And, I just said that I'll take all the blame if you get caught."

Watanuki glanced down at the paper again, "You owe me," He sighed and then left the room.

About ten minutes later Watanuki returned with a folder with Ashura's name written on the tab.

"Thanks." I said, "I'll figure out some way to repay you."

I took the folder and began to search through it quickly. Ashura transferred into the school last year, and was already captain of the varsity fencing and tennis teams. The only weird thing about him was that he lived alone.

"Did you find out anything good, Kurogane?"

"Nothing rea--" I paused and realized that the voice that just spoke definitely didn't belong to Watanuki. I glanced up and saw the face of the headmistress staring back at me. I awkwardly shut the folder and handed it to her.

"Two months." She said, "You're lucky I don't suspend you for looking at someone else's records."

I merely nodded and slumped down into my seat.

---

Fay was waiting for me after detention like he usually did, I think he had his art club today.

"Why the long face, Kuro-chan?" Fay asked, "You look like Yuko-sensei just assigned you another week of detention."

"Try two months." I mumbled.

"Two months? Why?" Fay asked, glancing at me.

I didn't want to lie to Fay because he'd be able to figure out I was lying, but the truth would just hurt him.

"Look, I think you should stay away from this Ashura guy. I get this bad feeling from him and--"

"What does Ashura have to do with why you got two months of detention?" Fay snapped, surprising me a bit.

"Everything!" I shot back, "I told you I don't feel right about him, so I got a hold of his records and I--" I stopped when I realized I had just given myself away.

"You did what?" Fay asked in disbelief, "You know, I'm allowed to have more than one friend, Kuro-sama!"

"That's not what this is about! This is about you! I don't want something to happen to you! I'm just--"

"There are more important things for you to worry about than me." Fay said, his voice was cold and his eyes were looking down the hall instead of at me, "I can't be your friend anymore if you're going to act like this." He glanced at me, looking like he was about to cry, "I...I have to go." He said. With that, he took off down the hallway.

I looked after him when what had just happened finally settled in. I shouted and punched a nearby locker, and I then ran in the direction opposite from where Fay ran.

I kept running. I ran straight into what I could already tell would be the worst time of my life.

------------------------

So yeah, that whole bit at the end, with the records and the fight? Totally just made that up today. I hope my awkward last minute change to this chapter fit well, and that you liked it!

This chapter was one of the hardest to write, not because it was difficult, but because I spent the past week living inside of an oven. It's been SO hot out. I forced myself to go to my friend's houses and go swimming, and then succeeded in getting the world's most obnoxious sunburn on my back and shoulders. And then when I tried to write at night, I couldn't because the paper stuck to me, and I couldn't lay down because I had a sunburn. I had to sleep like Fay. XD

Also, it was Yuko and Ashura! SURPRISE! A lot of you guessed Yuko, and several others that would actually be pretty cool to have in here, but I didn't have anyone guess Ashura. (btw, in my notebook I had him as captain of the football and baseball teams, but I can't picture him playing those...)

Anyway, next chapter! You can expect the triumphant return of Souma! Yayyyy! Also, there will be more of Syaoran! Yayyyyy!

But, will the conflict be resolved?? Dundundun! Tune in next week to find out! ( XP )

Thanks for reading!

Pictures!

So, I let my friends draw in my sketch book, and this was what happened:

Aw, poor Fay. He rains clouds of Angst upon the world. -sniffles-

Hahahaha. Bidoof...

These were all drawn by my friend KK! Isn't she excellent?

Um, DD drew this. I think it's from Final Fantasy or something...

This one was drawn by my friend Foofy. The teddiursa wants to rape you.

My friend Katie drew this one. She drew me a Clefairy and an unfinished person, but I guess I didn't scan it...

ISN'T THIS GORGEOUS? I thought so too.

Unfortunately, none of them are from me. ^^;;
Also, for those of you that are reading my fic, Through the Ages. I've started writing the next chapter. But, my god. It's so hot out. I changed positions 38275892475872934572 times on my bed, and couldn't get comfortable enough to write. I'll try and invest in some sort of fan or something. -____-
And, anyone read 158 yet??? Holy crap is Kurogane mad. My heart stopped beating. -nod-

Through the Ages-New Chapter

Sun, 24 Jun 2007 03:15:55 GMT

First chapter of Middle school!

Title: Through the Ages:Middle School Chapter 1
Author: airbender-chan/ichihara_yuko/omgitsdaina2
Fandom: Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle
Rating/Warnings: T/PG Character Death, but not the central characters.
Chapter Specific Pairings:KuroFay, light KuroTomo and FayChii if you squint.

The summer between sixth and seventh grade was a fun summer, I guess. Sorata and Arashi rented a summer house for a month. It was a big house right on the ocean. I had only been to the ocean once before when I was little, so it was like I was seeing it for the first time. Fay had laughed at the amazed look that I apparently had on my face.

Sorata and Arashi had let us each bring a friend on the trip with us. Tomoyo had brought Sakura along, and when I said I didn't want to bring anyone she took the liberty of calling Fay for me.

It was strange to see Fay in a bathing suit. I was so used to the usual pants and long sleeved shirt. He had a few small bruises on his arms and his legs that he attributed to his clumsiness. Honestly, that didn't surprise me because Fay tended to trip over air on occasion.

Everyday that we were there was warm, and the six of us spent most of our time on the beach. I mostly just sat on the sand and watched everyone else play. Fay and Sakura would make a sand castle while Tomoyo would record them with the camera Arashi had bought for her; apparently almost-third grade was old enough to man a video camera.

"Sakura-chan is so cute on film!" Tomoyo would gush when she watched the playback of what she had recorded.

"Sakura-chan is just cute in general." Fay would laugh.

We made a bonfire on the beach on our last night there. Sorata had bought these little things to throw into the fire that changed the color of the flames. Fay was fascinated with them, and Tomoyo found great joy in filming him "Ooo" and "Ahh" at the colorful flames.

Sorata let off fireworks later that night. Sakura would sometimes jump when a particularly loud shot was fired off, and when we decided to tell ghost stories we had to stop because she was so frightened.

After packing up the next morning we got to look forward to a three hour ride back home. Everyone but me, well, Arashi and Sorata too, fell asleep, and somehow they all ended up leaning on me.

Fay had slumped over into my lap; Tomoyo was leaning on my shoulder, and Sakura was leaning on her. Fay looked like a small kitten the way he was curled up in my lap. I somehow freed a hand and I hesitantly reached to touch Fay's head. No sooner did I lay my hand down did Fay's eyes snap open and he protectively brought his arms up in front of his face.

I stared awkwardly at Fay for a moment, and he stared at me with wide eyes before saying, "Oh, it was only you, Kuro-chan." Fay sighed and he lowered his arms.

"Who else would it have been?" I muttered as I went to remove my hand from Fay's head.

Fay reached up and snatched my hand, "No." He placed my hand back on top of his head, "It felt nice." He whispered as he shut his eyes. I stayed still for a few minutes until I was almost positive that Fay had fallen back to sleep.

I cautiously ran my fingers through his hair. Fay's hair was always so messy and I thought that there would have been more knots than there were, but it was surprisingly soft, like a blanket or something. Seeing Fay curled up and small like that made it hard to believe that we would be starting middle school this year.

Fay had admitted to being nervous when we met up with him on the walk to school the first day.

"You shouldn't worry, Fay-san. I mean, how much different could middle school be from elementary school?" Tomoyo asked as she brushed some of her long black hair off of her shoulder.

"I don't know. I just have a bad feeling is all." Fay said softly, but his mood lifted with the next few words, "But, it's just a feeling, right?" He laughed it off.

I was a firm believer in the power of feelings, I always had been. I think I somehow inherited it from Souma or something. She always told the class to go with your gut instinct if you were in a bad situation, any situation really. So, I decided to take Fay's bad feeling seriously.

"Tomoyo-chan, are you going to try out for the after-school choir?" Fay asked, steering the conversation in a totally different direction, "The school finally decided to make one this year, and it's open to all grade levels."

"Of course I'll try out." Tomoyo beamed, "Are you, Fay-san? Your singing voice is lovely." She complimented.

A slight pink tinted Fay's cheeks at the compliment, "Oh, I don't know if--"

Fay was cut off by the sound of screeching tires, a loud crunching of metal, followed by screams. The three of us ran around the corner to see a vicious three-car accident. One car had hit two others by blowing off a red light. One was hit in the back on the driver's side, merely crimping half of the back seat and the front of the problem car. The other car looked like it had hit the problem car, folding the front of the innocent car.

Frantic screams were her from the people that had been watching the accident and the people involved. I could see some of the older students pulling out cell phones to call an ambulance.

A young boy scrambled from the backseat of the second car.

"Mom! Dad!" He shouted as he fell from the doorway and collapsed onto the pavement. His face was cut in several places and one of his legs appeared to be broken, it was bleeding enough to be anyway. "Mom! Dad!"

"That's Watanuki-kun!" Fay said suddenly, running out into the road before I could stop him. Taking a second glance at the kid, I realized that it was him. He wasn't wearing his glasses so I didn't recognize him. They probably broke in the accident which was why he had cuts on his face.

Watanuki's two friends ran onto the scene and took over for Fay just as sirens could be heard. It was then that three people fumbled out of the other innocent car.

"Kurogane, isn't that the Mihara's?" Tomoyo asked quietly, but there was no mistaking it was them.

"Freya!" Mihara shouted as he frantically tried to pull away the problem car from the back of his car to no avail. What I assumed was his wife stood nearby clutching a sobbing Chii close to her. The girl seemed not much better off than Watanuki.

Tomoyo turned away from the accident and hid her face in my arm; she held it tightly when the ambulances arrived.

It was then that Fay was forced from his current position holding Chii's hand next to her mother and back to me and Tomoyo.

His eyes were shaking and downcast as he fell into my chest, letting out a choked sob as he did.

"Watanuki-kun's parents...Freya...The moron who was driving the other car killed them!" Fay had started quietly and ended up shouting into my chest, "He killed them and took himself with them!" He hiccoughed and continued to shake in my arms even after the ambulances had left.

People still lingered and we were all at least an hour late for school. We eventually decided to get going. Tomoyo still clutched my arm, and Fay now walked beside me, his eyes red from crying.

---

The next day the school held a memorial service in the auditorium in honor of Watanuki's parents and Freya. A lot of students attended the service as Mihara was a popular teacher, and Mr. and Mrs. Watanuki were apparently very involved in the PTO.

It was there that we found out that the person driving the problem car had been bar hopping that whole night, and was still drunk that morning.

"Alcoholics are the worst scum on the earth." Fay muttered to me, "I hope he rots." The way Fay spoke made me feel as though he had been talking about someone other than the drunk driver.

It was then that I decided that bad feelings were even more powerful than I had originally thought. I just silently hoped that the rest of middle school wouldn't follow Fay's bad feeling.

SORRY! I apologize so much for this chapter. It was very hard to write, was very short, and very sad...I didn't like it at all. But, it had to be done. -nod-

Please forgive me...You've all been waiting a while, and I show up with this piece of gross. And, I haven't even been doing anything worthwhile. I've been playing Pokemon! And reading books! The only bad thing that slightly interrupted me was a crazy vicious bump on my head, and I'm so used to headaches it's not even funny. (It still hurts though...) So, I've really got no excuse for this chapter. I'm probably being hard on myself, but I just had such a hard time writing this...

Notes on this chapter-

I hope I'm not overdoing anything.

The car crash: If you are confused, please say so. I'm more than willing to draw out a diagram. It's hard to explain stuff like this, so you probably did get confused somewhere along the line.

Everyone sleeping in the car was the only thing I enjoyed writing in this chapter. Srsly. Everything else was so depressing.

PREVIEW FOR NEXT CHAPTER!

Fay and Tomoyo join clubs! Kurogane doesn't have any school spirit! And, the arrival of two long awaited characters! If you can guess who they are, you win my affection! (??)
