WARNING: THIS IS MY FIRST PET SHOP OF HORRORS FIC. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, SORRY FOR WASTING YOUR TIME.

In other words, go easy on me.

This idea popped in my head a while back (at 2:14 in the morning) and kept nagging me, so I wrote it down. If it makes no sense:

Ye Hath Been Warned.

I hate the ending of the Pet Shop of Horrors series, but since there is nothing I can do, I will just like to inform you that this happened before the horrific events of book 10.

Also, I'm putting down my disclaimer here since I got a Five daytemporary ban for putting it as it's own chapter. This will be the last time I'll put it up, butthe disclaimerstandsin the rest of my story, For those of you crazy lawyer people who look for excuses to sue poor, innocent fanfiction writers.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pet Shop of Horrors.

(It would be pretty cool though… then I'd change the ending of the last Manga…)

Other than that, Enjoy.

Flowers And Mr. Detective: Aeternitas

Prologue: The Attack

Detective Leon Orcot was (once again) sitting on an expensive imported couch in Count D's Pet Shop, while Count D himself was helping Chris Orcot, Leon's younger brother, feed some of the many strange, exotic animals that resided there.

Although he had seen this ritual many times before, Leon was still uneasy, for D's creatures were well known to bite (especially the evil goat-thing that seems to be bent on bringing about his demise). He'd never forgive himself if Chris got hurt. Then again, at least he'd have a reason to arrest D. Possession of Dangerous (And Most Likely Illegal) Animals.

'What am I kidding', Leon mused to himself, 'D would probably just smile and offer everyone tea that he spiked himself (special secret blend), and brainwash everyone'. Leon still hadn't forgotten, or exactly figured out, the time when D gave him Sake and the craziness that followed with that dress thing and the flowers on it. That had to be spiked.

Leon was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't hear the Count's first offering of tea and chocolates.

He jerked out of his thoughts and replied with a gruff "sure" when he saw a sight that made his blood run cold.

Chris was being attacked by the devil goat.

-

Total concentration.

He noticed the boy slow down, figuring that the whelp knew that he couldn't out run him. He knew the boy's weaknesses well (he could almost predict what the boy was going to do next, which was to look for a place to hide). The boy did. Excellent. Now to get him in his weak spot.

Total Concentration.

That was the state of mind Tetsu- Chan was in as he went in for the kill.

-

Chris ran.

He knew he couldn't run for long, but he couldn't stop. Tet- Chan was too fast. He could try to hide, but he knew Tet- Chan would find him. He always did.

But it was the only option he had left. So he pause for a second, looking around frantically.

A second, it seemed, was all Tet- Chan needed as he pounced on the little boy.

Chris was thrown back with the weight of Tet- Chan knocking him over.

Caught.

Chris shrieked to himself and began to flail and kick as Tet- Chan, with an evil grin, began to tickle him.

-

Leon leapt to his feet as quick as he could, but by then, the satanic goat had Chris pinned to the floor and was doing something to him that was making him kick and flail.

Leon had seen enough.

"Leon, NO!" Count D yelled, but he ignored it, placing a well- aimed kick to the side of Tetsu, which knocked him to the other side of the room, and bending over Chris to see if he was alright. Chris had a look of shock on his face, which wore out only to be replaced by tears.

-

"Chris, don't go near that thing, it's dangerous!" Leon said when Chris slipped past his grasp. But Chris ignored him and ran to Tetsu, checking to see if he was alright. 'Tet- Chan, are you Ok?' he thought. Tetsu looked dazed, but snapped up when Chris acknowledged him. Chris stepped back immediately. There was something in Tetsu's eyes that he had never seen before.

Fire. A murderous fire.

Just as that thought formulated, Tetsu leaped over Chris and charged Leon, catching him by surprise. This time, it was Tetsu Count D was addressing when he said "No! Stop!"

Tetsu jumped on Leon, knocking him over, in which Leon countered by throwing him off. Tetsu landed perfectly, and attacked Leon just as he was getting up. Leon was knocked down once again from the weight of Tetsu, whom bit Leon on the shoulder with his razor sharp teeth. Leon yelled in pain, but recovered quickly, rolling onto his back to squish his attacker.

Tetsu yelped in surprise and let go. That was all the time Leon needed. He grabbed his pistol, which was on the coach he was sitting on with his coat and his car keys, and shot at Tetsu. Tetsu, quick on the uptake, dodged the bullet and began some evasive maneuvering, in which he dashed past Leon and through a door, disappearing from view. Leon was in hot pursuit. "Leon, wait!" Count D cried, but Leon was too far ahead to hear him.

'Count D' Chris thought. 'What are were going to do?'

Count D looked at the small child. "Wait", he replied with a calm smile.

So, how did you like so far? Sorry it was so short. (Then again, it is a prologue…)

The next one (which I am currently writing), is probably going to be just as short. The one after is going to be longer though (I promise).

Ok, my little rule is that I'll update after five reviews, but since I get impatient reeeeeeeally easily, I'll probably update sooner. Please review! puppy eyes

Guess what? The next chapter you get to meet Aeternitas! (Yes, Aeternitas is a person.)

What she is, however, is for you to find out and decide ...mysterious smile

I also have two Inu Yasha stories (which I am also working on, but I fear no one cares anymore because it's been three years since I last updated them, everyone's probably forgotten about them…sob…)

Then again, shame on me for not updating in such a long time…grins sheepishly

If you're into Inu Yasha, check them out and review!

That's about all. See you next time!
