Rune couldn't bring himself to look at Taka, he was embarressed with himself. The demon kept his eyes on the ground, staring at his armani shoes that he'd bought. He eyed his pant legs and remembered how she'd acted when she'd seen him dressed up.....a pain gripped at his chest, constricting his breathing. Fuck, it wasn't worth it, feeling like this was damn trouble.

When Milena touched his arm and winked at him he narrowed his eyes "Damn trouble...." he mumbled pulling his arm away and following her into the cab.

On the drive he stared aimlessly out of the window, new thoughts bubbling forcibly into his mind; something wasnt right...and not just with his present situation. Something felt strange....and what was this? He hadn't felt this presence in a while, alarming.....but somehow....frifly...if there were such a word. Then it occured to him.

"..." he sighed, still staring away from the girls. "....come on Luci...you could have done better than that...." he said without realizing it, forgetting the other two were there, "...that's just an insult sending that so-called prince....what a pain..."

(Some jerkface deleted the word document I had with the picture addy on it, so I need that again, Kasumi. Geeze.)

Outside the club, Taka paced impatiently. She angrily discarded the cigarette butt she had been smoking at promptly removed the pack from a pocket at her side. Two left. How the hell would she survive this fucking mission with only TWO cigarettes left??!! "Fucking fuckity fuck you!" She mumbled, slipping one into her mouth before lighting it with her fingertip. She inhaled deeply, savoring the nicotene that began its course through her veins. Where the hell was that little vamp? Taka turned around as the door to the club opened. Milena and Rune exited into the twilight, Milena looking typically smug and sensual, Rune looking mopey. "So you're BOTH coming, hmm?" Taka inquired. "Well it took you fucking long enough. Shit. Let's get this over with." She then turned on her heel and approached the curb, hailing a cab. She entered without a word, leaving the door open for the others.

________________________________


Milena made a face as Taka entered the cab. "Such a grouch." She turned to Rune, lightly touching his arm. "Such an ungrateful little grouch, hmmm? Seems to me that the most powerful demon in Hell deserves a bit more respect, no?" She winked at him, smiling seductively, and entered the cab. "Coming?" she called.

Caine grinned, "That could be fun too." Realizing she liked the control he stopped, let her do what she wanted.

Jou snuggled close to here, watching the cute intro of strange dancing totoro's flicker across the tv screen.

Shou shrugged, "I wasn't whining...merely stating.....you are the one who asked. As for the other quesrion of what it meant....you are such a..." he stopped, thinking better of it, he preffered funny ways of attacking him rather than mean ones.

Kasumi smiled and hugged him closer.

"You are so kind to me, this whole time, i only wish to do the same for my Naru-kun...." she stopped at the statment of 'my' wondering if it was too odd or awkward. "..Eh, I just would like to help all that i can. I'll get a job to help too..."

Lily gasped at the sudden action, her hear stopping for a quick moment, then pounding hard into her chest, "...eh..." was all she could beath out as he dragged her t the restroom. 'How kinky...'

Ryo cocked an eyebrow. That did it. She was so asking for it.

Standing abrubtly, he grabbed Lily's hand from his arm and, still holding onto her, practically dragged her off her bar stool towards the restroom.

"You want it now... You'll get it now."

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

Raven gasped, not expecting the sudden sensation of Caine's finger on her clit. How quickly he was turning the tables.

"You're so mean..." she whispered, massaging her thumb against the tip of the vampire's shaft. "I just might have to punish you for that later."

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

As Joushin laid down next to her and started fiddling with the remotes to turn the television and DVD player on, Komi took his free arm and draped it over her shoulders.

'Yay for movies with Jou-sama,' she thought, snuggling against his shoulder.

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

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?" Amaroq hissed. He suddenly caught sight of his boots in the living room. They were lying on the floor near the couch where he had earlier kicked them off during his little... interlude with Shou.

Haughtily, he marched over to retrieve them and returned to snap at Shou once more, "And why the fuck should I care if you're bored? Entertain yourself, don't come whining to me."

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

Naru was a bit surprised by Kasumi's sudden embrace. But her words quickly made him forget that.

"Kasumi... That would be... Great." Holding onto her arms, he pulled back just far enough to look at her face. "I... I'd really appreciate your help."

Caine gasped when she had resurfaced to kiss him, his member shaking almost as if it, itself was trying to get her back down there, eager to have her lips caress him so. He smiled, however when her fingers traced their way back down and encircled themselves around his quivering member. "...aah.." he breathed, his hands finding their way over her breasts and her ass, one trailing down to her slick and warm center, he let his index finger massage the clit.

Jou smiled and grabbed the remaining pillow for himself and lay down next to sweet Komi.

Shou narrowed his eyes at the response, "I don't....i'm bored...if you must know....." in an effort to entertain himself at the spoiled one's expense he added a sly, "..your Highness.."

Kasumi gasped and quickly pulled him into her arms, "...Naru-kun....if you would allow me....i care for you and would very much like to help you take care of her....."

Lily lay one hand down in her lap while the other reached forward to playfully run a finger down his arm. She then leant forward, revealing a great deal more cleavage, "Then..." she smiled, "....what are we still doing here..?"

Dante was quickly getting bored. The novelty of sightseeing had worn off already and he hadn't the slightest clue where he could begin his search for Rune. Kaeon was contented at least, curled up asleep in Dante's pocket.

"At least you found something to do…" the demon prince sighed. What else was there to do in a city where you knew no where to go and no one to go with?

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

Tao smiled at the ant. Oooh, it was just too adorable! The way it took a few steps, then paused to wiggle its cute little antennae… The Chinese boy giggled, then sighed. He suddenly felt so peaceful and relaxed. Still grinning, he laid his head down on the cement. Almost as soon as it touched the street, the drugs really seemed to kick in.

"Cute… sleepy… abba-wibba…" he mumbled, passing an arm over his eyes to block out the world. "G'night…" The last words were barely audible as Tao slipped into unconciousness.

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

Ryo cocked an eyebrow and flashed Lily a coy half-smile.

"Anytime you please," he said.

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

Raven smiled coyly as her lips moved lower on Caine's body. Her mouth was working over his lower stomach towards his abdomen, making it pretty obvious where this was going… But the Priestess figured it'd be more fun to tease him a little.

Instead of moving lower, she stood up again and pulled Caine into a deep kiss, pressing her water-slickened body against his. Lightly grasping the back of his neck with one hand, she reached down with the other to caress his shaft with her long, tan fingers.

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

Komi took hold of Joushin's hand and jumped onto the bed eagerly. Grabbing a pillow from the headboard, she laid down on her stomach at the foot of the bed, closer to the television, with the pillow under her.

"Joushin sit here," she said, patting a spot on the bed next to her.

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

Amaroq shot Shoushin a nasty look.

"The answer to that is pretty obvious," he said, thrusting his bare foot in the demon’s direction to display his lack of shoes. "Anyway, why do you care?"

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

Naruhiko didn’t even look up when he heard Kasumi's gentle voice.

"This!" he said, thrusting the letter in her direction. "This is what’s wrong. It’s my little sister…" He took a shaky breath and tried to collect himself before he went on to explain the to Kasumi. "Her vision was damaged by illness and required surgery to repair it. My family… They aren’t rich. I was out here trying to get the money to pay for it. But I just found out… it’s too late." He finally raised his head to look at the blonde girl, tears glistening in his eyes.

"Naomi’s… already had the surgery… The doctor was preparing to leave the country for a better job in Europe… My parents… They didn’t have enough to pay for it…" Naru paused to wipe the tears away with the back of his hand, but fresh ones glazed his green eyes almost instantly. "They sold our home, Kasumi… Now my sister is being sent out to Soma to live with me, while they work on getting another place."

Keitaro looked at Katsuaki. He sighed. Katsuaki had just said he had to stay home and look after Mao once again. It wasn't that he minded so much, after all Mao was a teenage girl and they tended to get themselves in trouble but this was too much. Katsuaki shouldn't have to deal with this. It wasn't as though Mao was actually his daughter...Keitaro shook his head. He loved Katsuaki and even liked the girl in her rare sober moments.

"Of course I'll stay with you. You might need me." Keitaro looked questionably at Mao who was now glaring at him. He didn't know why she didn't like him, he tried his best to get along with her but that just seemed to make her hate him more. Keitaro's eyes flicked down to the boy on the street. He seemed to find something rather interesting about his shoe. When they boy said it was cute he looked up at Katsuaki. "Ummm....Yes..."
