She stroked her thumb over the skin, slowly.
It was a pale hand, with long, lean fingers. A hand that drew magic out of the air (somehow). A hand that flapped and flailed, kneaded and stirred, poked and prodded. A hand that, as Kurogane had discovered four months ago, could do a lot of things, in fact.
A hand that was soft and warm. So soft and warm, in fact, that it would be horrifying to remember that this same hand, a smaller version of this hand, had scraped raw against frozen stone, nails torn and skin bleeding; that its owner, a young girl, struggled against a ridiculous, impossible prison, reaching for her twin sister in another world. Another lifetime.
Which was why Kurogane didn’t remember it. She simply held the hand tighter, and when a blonde head looked up enquiringly, she tucked it back under her chin (out of the way).
Plenty of things had brought them to this moment. A burning sky filled with demons, a desert prince cursed by a wicked witch, and a young woman who had sacrificed everything to save him. It was the past, and Kurogane would never forget any of it, so she didn’t need to remember.
All that mattered was here and now, where she leaned, pleasantly drowsy, against the dojo wall, the pain in her abdomen fading to nothing, and with Fay curled into her, alive and warm and soft. Four months, four good months since they’d finally stopped dancing around each other, since they’d left Clow and started this journey together - the kid, the witch, the manjuu, and herself - and none of them knew how long it would go on, how many more months would be surrendered to this search.
Kurogane pressed a kiss to blonde hair, and let her head fall back against the wall, let heavy eyelids drift closed. And that was fine. She would take what the next month hurled at her, whatever that might be, and all the months after as well.
