Kurogane snorted, shaking his only free hand left. The endless strands of golden hair fell only to tangle with the handle of his sword, his cloak, his legs.

''How the hell do you manage to handle ... all ... This ... AGH ''! 

''I don't. In my warm, comfortable, spacious and shrubs free tower I don't have to worry about hair.

- Enough of this bullshit.I have not brought you here all this way to talk about your damn tower.

- You're the one who brought me here! I didn't want to...¡Auch! Watch Out!

He rolled his eyes, ripped directly the branch where the hair was tangled and moved on. He could not wait to leave that burden speaker at Tomoyo's foot and get rid of it. As his'' Damsel in Distress '' had been so uncooperative he had had to carry him on his shoulder, because the blond refused to get out of that tower forgotten . And the hair, that blonde, silky and riciculosly long mane tangled with every stone of the road. Kurogane had offered to cut it off somehow, but the blond had refused terrified by the proposal.

Hours later, Kurogane decided that his shoulder had already gone enough numb for that day. He pulled the boy to the ground with little finesse and proceeded to do some stretching, while trying to remove the hair tangled in his arms. Fye looked askance from the same place where he fell, hugging her knees and with a grimace of disgust.

'' You're so rude... '' Kurogane started riding a small fire, deliberately ignoring the blond. '' I'm going to have to go with you, right? You should at least tell me your name. My name is Fye ''

'' You do not need to know. And I do not need to know your name. '' Replied dryly.

'' That's mean... I need to call you somehow, don't I? Mr. Mean... The dark one ... Blacky ... eh, I like that one ...

'' Kurogane '' snapped the other '' My name is Kurogane. Shut up '

'' Okay. Kuroblacky it is''

'' I said Kuro ... '' Kurogane stopped to look up and find Fye's gaze and smile. He frowned. She had not seen him smile until then (it was not as if he smiled too much, either), but there was something strange about that beautiful smile. He did not know what it was, because Fye seemed more relaxed and his affable tone was somewhat picaresque.

'' We will spend the night here and ... '' took Fye's own hair to his wrists and ankles' '... don't think you're going anywhere'

  Fye laughed. Again his laughter gave him a strange feeling. It was so sincere and jovial, that was weird '' You've been God knows how long locked in a tower without going outside. Why are you so smiley? It's not normal '' He thought. He knew that his only mission was to rescue the 'damsel in distress'' abandoned tower deep deep in the forest of the north, and bring them safely to Princess Tomoyo. Nothing fancy. The forest was not particularly dangerous, and there had been no hitch (except the rescue itself and the way too long hair). So Tomoyo's last words when she dissmissed him didn't make much sense to Kurogane.'' This mission is perfect for you. '' Nor was he keen to find out. But he had to recognice himself, the boy gave him curiousity.

Fye fell asleep, curled in a fetal position and covered in blankets that Kurogane had taken from the tower before heading out the only existing window. Kurogane took the opportunity to have a look to the hair. He felt a glow emanating very dim from it. He rubbed his eyes, but the strange illusion was still there. He gave it an astonished look, to watch it closely. Indeed,the hair lit up the hand, making it look almost white. He shifted his gaze to the Fye's face,who was sleeping peacefully, or so it seemed.

Everything in Fye felt strange. He felt that he looked but did not see him, it was nothing more than a distortion of who the guy was in realitu. He didn't know why, but what should be uninmportant to him, wa just too mysterious. He could not stop mulling over the idea that Fye was lying and there was something hidden in that sparkling smile so wide, and wanted to know what it was. And as time went by, more he was convinced that his was no imagination. He found himself making the determination to discover what was behind the facade of Fye in the few days he had on the way to the palace. In that short time,he would find out what the boy was hiding. Who he really was.

After a while mulling over the matter, he wondered why was he so curious. Why was so imperative to ripp off that facade .They had never give a damn about other's affairs, nor had interest in hearing from others over enough to interact with them. But now ... No. He had only knonw Fye for a few hours and he already had this strong feeling, and did not understand why.
