It was an unknown feeling for him. Hearing Kuro say he cared had filled him with a peacefully warm sensation. He found himself wanting to leave his bed and crawl in beside the warrior, to feel his companions arms around him, holding him, protecting him.
“Do you need something?” The gruff voice sounded more amused then angry.
Fai jerked out of his reverie and noticed that while his mind had been contemplating, his body had been acting. He was half way out of his bed, reaching for the ninja’s covers.
“I...I...” His mind refused to provide his mouth with comprehensible words.
Kurogane turned towards him and placed a hand on his arm. Looking directly into his eyes, the larger man sighed.
“The phrase is ‘I’m cold.’ It’s really not that hard.”
Fai found himself being pulled into Kuro’s bed, warm arms wrapping around him. The blonde relaxed into the embrace, feeling sleep claim him. “I’m cold.” His voiced trailed off as he surrendered to exhaustion.
Kuro laughed softly. “Goodnight.”
----------------------------------------------------------------
The next day found the two companions preparing their newly acquired troops for battle. While Kuro ran them through training drill after training drill, Fai sat back and smiled. They had decided that, even though communication was now possible, Fai should continue playing the part of the strong, silent type. That way, once their method for communication was lost, no one would notice. Of course, that wasn’t their biggest problem. Although the Commander had spoken to the troops about the change in command, no one was especially happy about having the ‘outsiders’ leading them.
Kurogane had stood there silently while the troops accused him of being ‘disloyal’, ‘conniving’, and, to top it all off, ‘unworthy’. Fai stood, silently smiling to himself, watching as his companion’s anger rose. When the accusation of ‘unworthy’ was added to the list, the mage felt a thrill of excitement as the usually stoic warrior’s composure broke. He found he was looking forward to watching Kuro pound them all into the dust.
“Unworthy is it? Very well. We will gladly hand over the position to anyone who can defeat us.” Scarlet eyes turned to meet sapphire with a look that clearly said ‘If I have to deal with these morons, so do you.’ Fai smiled his classic smile in return, but let the mischief show through his eyes.
The soldiers drew their weapons as Fai picked up a practice staff and Kuro unsheathed his sword. There was no warning, no beginning bell, the men simply attacked. They were unorganized and clumsy, making them extraordinarily easy to dodge. Fai didn’t mind of course; he preferred avoidance to actual contact. When the perfect opportunity presented itself, he struck his opponents, felling them with one blow.
With his share dealt with, the mage turned to see how his companion was faring. Dozens of men littered the ground around the warrior, moaning as they slowly returned to their feet. Fai faked a whistle, smiling wide when his friend glared in return.
“Now, any more questions about who’s in charge?” Kuro swung his blade threateningly and the men hurriedly got to their feet and stood at attention.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Shortly before training ended for the day, a messenger had come out to the practice grounds with a summons for Fai. The King wanted to see him. After a tentative look in Kuro’s direction, which got him a brief nod of encouragement, Fai left. Anxiety attempted to gain the upper hand in his mind, but the blonde firmly told himself there was absolutely nothing to worry about. He knocked gently on the King’s door and received a murmured permission to enter. Once inside, he closed the door behind him, turned around, and everything went black.
