~Sweet Decoy~

By: Aerys Krystie.

Kaname sat down. After receiving that message from Tsuki he'd gotten nothing else. He had wandered around, hoping to find some form of life. There was nothing besides snow, snow and ice. He stared at the grey clouds. What else was he meant to do? Why hadn't he caught on quicker that the person he was talking to wasn't the real Mikhail?

"Because you were stunned about the fact that Mikhail was actually talking to you. And that should have been your first clue that he is not the real deal."

Kaname got to his feet and stared at the person that was talking to him. The man smiled and stepped closer, extending a hand. Kaname stepped back, not wanting to have any contact with anyone for a while. Not after appearing in the Himalayas without any way of getting home again. Especially since the wedding was four days away. Tsuki was going to kill him for falling into a trap like that.

"Don't worry about the demon, Kuran Kaname. He'll only beat you to within an inch of your life. He knows that if he kills you he'll upset his wife-to-be." The man slipped his hand into his pocket. "I guess I should introduce myself. I'm –"

"Are you another demon?"

The man blinked. "You see, Kaname, that's your problem. You think your questions are more important than what someone has to say. It's what got you into this mess in the first place. Oh, we know how much you don't want to have Lucifer and his family as part of your extended one. The problem with that is, your sister really loves his son. She's still hoping for your blessing."

"Who are you?"

"Ah, now you want to know." The man glanced up at the sky. His eyes were the same color as the clouds. "I don't think you need to know that right now. I'm just here to let you know that even if you don't trust or like Tsuki, he's going to be the one that saves you. He's going to be the one that protects you and your family. Is it really such a big deal that he's the son of the devil?"

"You are another demon. Why are you all trying to talk me into accepting Tsuki?"

"He's accepted you."

"You say that like I'm the freak that needs to be accepted."

"You're not exactly an angel or a saint, either." The man held up his hand. "Before you accuse me of being something I'm not, let me let you in on a little secret – my brothers and I will be at that wedding. We were hoping to make it a surprise. Of course, with hell breaking loose, literally, things are becoming a little complicated."

"Why is hell breaking loose?"

"Once upon time, Lucifer wanted to make hell on earth. Seventeen millennia ago, he stopped trying to do that. He stopped trying to wipe out humans."

"What happened back then?"

The man shrugged. "Becoming a father changes a person. He gave birth to his first daughter to his first bride, which he killed when he discovered she was cheating on him. All of his wives were having affairs on him, except Hitomi, his current wife. Tsuki gets his strong sense of right and wrong from her. Even if he did fail ethics in school."

"I'm never gonna live that down, am I, Uncle Gabriel?" Tsuki appeared beside Kaname and smiled at the man, a half-eaten club sandwich in his hand. "How long has it been?"

"Ga-Gabriel? As in the angel?

"Archangel," Gabriel and Tsuki corrected.

Kaname raised an eyebrow as Gabriel and Tsuki spoke in the same language that the demon and his father spoke in at his house, the demon finishing his meal. The vampire was beginning to feel left out when that happened. He wanted to know why hell was breaking loose. He wanted to know why demons wanted his children. He wanted to know why Lucifer wasn't stopping hell from breaking loose. Suddenly, Gabriel and Tsuki stopped their chitterling and looked at him.

"The wedding," they said. Tsuki continued. "Dad didn't stop hell from breaking loose because he was too pre-occupied with the wedding. The demons responsible for it all took advantage of my getting hitched to try and take your children so they could make their own kingdom to rule. Two hells is one hell too many."

"Why my children?"

Tsuki raised an eyebrow. "Are you seriously asking that? It's easier to corrupt children when they don't know right from wrong. Your kids are half pureblood."

"So now, all of a sudden, being a pureblood counts for something?" Kaname's eyes flickered from Gabriel to Tsuki. "I can't kill you and I can't kill him and I'm full pureblood. Contrary to popular belief, half isn't more powerful."

"Pump your kids full of pure evil and it will be." Tsuki stepped up to Kaname. "Now you listen to me, Kuran. I don't like you – I have never liked you. I don't even trust you. It was because of Yuuki that you and Zero are happy. So if you continue to fuck up this wedding of ours, I will erase your memory from her mind, your being from existence and all you will be is a smear of blood here." Tsuki's eyes hardened. "And the only reason I told you about Constance is so you would know what happened. It wasn't because I trusted you with that information. It was so you knew I would take care of Yuuki and make sure that never happened again."

Kaname glanced at Gabriel. "Aren't you going to tell him to calm down?"

Gabriel raised an eyebrow. "If you were dicking around my wedding like this I'd be pissed, too. I think he has every right to threaten you. By the way, I think you and Zero are no longer in charge of his bachelor's night, either." Kaname should've known he'd never win against family.

"That's an understatement. If it wasn't for the fact that Yuuki cares so much about you, I would make sure she never had to see you again. But seeing as I'm such a lovable character, you get to see her and you get to deal with me, too." Tsuki gave a toothy smile for a second before his mouth went back to a hard, thin line. "Thanks for finding him, Uncle Gabriel."

"Anytime, kiddo. Did you want me to take him back home or do you think you have the power to do it yourself?"

Kaname frowned. "What's that suppose to mean?"

"It means that I have been up for the last twenty-four hours hunting your ass down because you were stupid enough to fall for a demon's trap." Tsuki placed a hand on Kaname's shoulder and when he removed it, they were in hell. He pushed Kaname onto the sofa. "Sit down and shut up. Dad!"

Kaname kept his anger under control. Demons and angels. It was just what he didn't need and knowing that his children were being hunted down didn't help. He had no doubt that Tsuki had brought Zero and the children into hell to keep them protected. They couldn't be normal demons if Lucifer was getting involved and that didn't help, either.

Tsuki walked back into the living room and tossed a box to Kaname. "Use those," he ordered. Kaname looked at the condoms in his hand and raised his eyes to Tsuki. "You're gonna go down that hall way, to the last door on the right and you are going to fuck Zero into the mattress until you're acting like yourself again. I'm not going to let Yuuki see you while you're so damn frustrated and angry."

"What the hell is that suppose to mean? You don't get to decide when I can and can't see my sister."

Tsuki appeared behind the sofa and wrapped an arm around Kaname's throat. "Listen to yourself, Kaname. You're angry, you go off at the drop of a hat. You've turned Irish. And it's because you haven't gotten any action from Zero in the last four months. Going from every night to maybe twice a month and then not at all, it's a hard change to accept. Your body needs a release. It's either screw Zero or jerk off, I don't care which you decide." He released the vampire and disappeared from the room.

"Hi, Kaname!" Alice greeted with Hideaki in her arms as she entered the living room, Lucian behind her with Hoshiko in his arms.

"Hey, Kaname. How's it going? You gonna take Uncle's advice and get off before the wedding or are you gonna continue to screw it up for him?" Lucian smirked.

"Why am I the bad guy here? You lot are demons, you're naturally the bad guys." Kaname glared at the two of them and sighed. Tsuki was right. Damn him!

"And you're a breed of demon. So by your logic, that would make you naturally a bad guy, too." Lucian grinned and waltzed out of the room with Hoshiko as his partner.

Alice went to take a step but paused and looked back at Kaname. "Do you remember when you first met me, when I took over Yuuki's case at Cross Academy?"

Kaname nodded. "You also drained my most hyperactive vampire of his energy to the point where he had to be carried back to the dorm and then you continued to drain the other vampires. What does that have to do with anything?"

"Well, I kinda wasn't referring to what I did. I was referring to when Uncle Tsuki left and told you cut class by about an hour and take a wander past the stables. He was right back then and he's right now, Kaname-kun. I don't know what's going on with you but both you and Zero need some sort of release. We'll take care of you Hideaki and Hoshiko for the night. You two enjoy yourselves and remember to use the condoms. You're in hell, again, where Zero has girly parts." Alice flashed her pearly whites and spun out of the room with Hideaki.

Kaname looked at the condoms and sighed. Tsuki was just about always right. Actually, he was always right. Kaname went down the hall and into the room. Zero had stepped out of the bathroom in a pair of boxers, the scar on his stomach gone and using the towel to dry his hair. He looked up and smiled at the pureblood. He was obviously enjoying it in the pit. On the other hand, the Hunter didn't just spend a day stuck in the snow-storm ridden mountain range of the Himalayas.

Kaname went over to Zero and hugged him tightly. He always knew his children would be safe as Tsuki wasn't that much of a monster. The same couldn't be said about the demon's compassion towards Zero, after the hell he put the Hunter through. Kaname inhaled Zero's scent and his fangs came out. He sank them into the flesh of Zero's neck, making the ex-ex-human moan. It took less then a minute for Zero to have Kaname's jacket and shirt off and his pants undone.

Zero opened his eyes to see Tsuki standing at the door, leaning against the frame with his arms crossed and watching them as though he was watching the discovery channel. "Can we help you, demon?" Zero asked.

"Dinner is being served. I recommend the pork. Mother roasts it perfectly."

Kaname removed his fangs and looked over his shoulder. "I always thought you were vegetarian."

"No, 'vegetarian' is ancient slang for the town idiot that couldn't hunt, fish or ride. I'm as fucking normal as Zero once was." Tsuki pushed off the frame. "And next time, close the damn door. We have children running around down here. The last thing they need is to witness erotic acts from the vampire and his lackey." Tsuki smirked and puckered his lips at them before closing the door.

Kaname raised an eyebrow. "If there's anyone that needs to get off, I think it's him."

"Forget about him, Kaname. It's you and me now." Zero smiled and pulled Kaname over to the bed, falling back onto it.

Tsuki pulled his foot onto the chair and cracked his toes, staring at the papers that were in front of him. His eyes flickered up to his father. The devil nodded solemnly at him and Tsuki sighed, resting his arm on the knee. "So…we have three days to find the demons and fuck them up so the wedding will go without a problem? Well, that there is the problem."

"I know, Tsuki. I never said it was going to be easy. Now, think about it. Who is strong enough to take Mikhail by surprise and then drag his ass off to Everest and drain him enough to keep him shackled to a wall with chains he was breaking in his sleep when he was four?"

"No-one outside of the family. I know I sure as hell didn't hurt him. Kaname and Zero don't have the balls and Yuuki's been too wrapped up in the wedding to even notice her own brother was missing and went a full day without calling her. I don't think the angels have anything to do with this. Of course, there are times when I'm wrong." Tsuki got to his feet and wandered around his father's study, running his hand through his hair.

"Um…Tsuki?" Yuuki called timidly from the entrance to the room.

Tsuki looked over at her and smiled. "Hey. Why aren't you asleep?"

"I was wondering if you were coming to bed tonight. I know you have a lot going on but I'm kind of missing the feel of your arms." Yuuki glanced at Lucifer and blushed.

"I'll be up shortly." Yuuki nodded and left the doorway. Tsuki turned around and placed his hands on the oak desk. "I mean it, if those bastards try to kick start Armageddon at my wedding, I'm laying waste to every damn demon in hell until I find the ones responsible." Tsuki's eyes flashed.

"Sit!" Lucifer ordered, forcing his son to do as he was told. "You are not going to do that again. It has taken me half a century to build up the amount we have now since your last rampage because of Constance."

Tsuki nodded and pulled both feet onto the chair. "So what do we know about these demons? The leader has to be someone in the family. And whoever that is, they have a grudge against…"

Lucifer studied his son. "When did you figure out that you weren't the target?" he inquired as a scotch appeared on the desk in front of him and a can of soda in front of Tsuki.

Tsuki cracked open the can. "When I had to rescue Kaname from the fucking Himalayas. They took Mikhail to mislead us and it almost worked." Tsuki lit a cigarette and stared at the ceiling of the study. "On the other hand, pump him full of my blood and he'll probably die. So why would they want to run the risk of him dying? No-one, Kaname and there's more in the bedside chest."

Lucifer smiled at the pureblood, who was beginning to look a lot better. He nodded at Tsuki and disappeared from the doorway. "When are you going to tell him?" Lucifer asked as his eyes returned to his son.

Tsuki shrugged. "Not now. He's working out some stress-related problems with Zero at the moment and I don't want to bust in there and give them the bad news. That can wait until the morning so they'll feel like shit for the rest of the day." He drained the can and it disappeared. "Now the important questions is: Which family member is stupid enough to try and make hell on earth?" He crushed the cigarette out in a glass ashtray.

Lucifer stared into his drink and then raised his head when Hitomi entered, carrying a tray with tea and sandwiches on it. She placed it on the desk. "You weren't at dinner," she said, looking at her husband with stern eyes, "and I get the feeling you're going to be a while longer. If you need anything else, you can make it. Goodnight." She pecked Lucifer on the lips and Tsuki on the forehead.

"Goodnight, Mother." Tsuki waited until the woman was out of the room before pouring himself a cup of tea and picking up three of the sandwiches. He was famished.

Lucifer also poured himself a cup and observed his son closely. "Is everything okay with you, Tsuki?"

Tsuki looked up and nodded, drinking the tea and grabbing an extra three sandwiches. "I'm just hungry," he said around a mouthful. "Hunting down Kaname and killing those demons took a lot of energy, especially the ones I couldn't see."

"Hm." Lucifer sipped his tea and glanced at the bookshelf to his left. "You shouldn't lie to your father, Tsuki. It's been happening for the last millennia. You know what it is and if you don't cure it soon…"

"I know I'm dying, dad but I'm not killing a thousand people to cure it."

"Tsuki, I know it's painful and that it's something you don't want to do, so why don't you take out murderers and rapists? People that hurt the humans you're so fond of." Lucifer watched as the eighteen sandwiches his wife made vanished, three at a time.

"They might have committed horrible acts but they're still God's children. I know you don't agree with that…" Tsuki took the last three sandwiches. "…but I do."

Lucifer smiled. "So give them the chance to repent. If they don't, you take their soul. If they do, at least you've saved another one."

Tsuki shrugged. "Why do you care, dad? You've hated humans for eons. Why are you suddenly so interested in if they're saved or not?"

"I'm pretending to care so I don't lose my only son."

"Kaname is more important at the moment."

Lucifer raised an eyebrow. "No-one is more important than my child. Not talking a soul was bad enough. But when you decided to screw around with the natural order of things and keep Zero alive while he was human and in hell was the straw that broke the camel's back. You can think that you owe Kaname but he owes you more than you could ever owe him."

Tsuki stared at his father. "Of course you would say that. I'm your son so you'll always take my side over someone like Kaname." The demon smiled and closed his eyes. "I should probably think about how I'm going to tell Kaname that he's the target for these demons. I don't think he's going to be too impressed by it but at least it isn't his children."

Lucifer smiled. "Well, there's the fact that you are my son and the fact that I've never really liked Kaname. He's rather arrogant for being a vampire."

Tsuki blinked. "He's a pureblood."

Lucifer shrugged and finished his tea. "That's a rank within a rank. He's the most powerful of vampires but not the most powerful of demons. Makes you wonder why they would want him." He placed the cup on its saucer and stared at his son. "Now, back to you."

Tsuki sighed and got to his feet. "I'd rather die than kill a thousand people."

"Do you think your wife wants to be a widow so soon?"

Tsuki paused at the door. "She'd agree with me. Senseless slaughter is –"

"They're humans, Tsuki. No-one will notice if a thousand die. The planet is already over-populated and you would be doing it a favor." Lucifer studied his son's back. "Mother Nature is already throwing a tantrum."

Tsuki opened the door. "I'd still rather die," he said as he left the study.

When Kaname woke, there was sunlight streaming through the window. He blinked and closed the curtains with a wave of his hand. Going all night with Zero had made him feel a lot better. It was a little scary when Tsuki was right about something like that. Maybe the demon had gone through something similar and knew what the best remedy was.

Kaname looked down at Zero, who was holding onto him as though his life depended on it. Outside of the door, the pureblood could hear the movements of the people that were awake. He heard Alice's less-than-sane giggle. Somewhere in the yard there was an explosion that sounded like someone had set off a firework. There was cooing and gurgled giggles. There were footsteps running up and down the stairs and Kaname stretched. Zero groaned but didn't wake. The vampire kissed the top of his head and slipped out from his arms, pulling on a robe, then left the room quietly, closing the door.

When he got to the end of the hallway, Kaname nearly had a collision with one of Tsuki's nephews. The boy glared at Kaname and the vampire could only stare at the unique eyes. They were amethyst but they glowed. Literally glowed as though they could light up a dark room. Kaname quickly scanned the rest of the body and found that only one word came to mind: heavenly.

The boy scoffed. "In your dreams, vampire," he said snootily and pushed past.

"Careful with that one, Kaname. I can't control him as easily as I can control the others," Tsuki warned from the top of the stairs. "He's my cousin not my nephew."

"And I thought Zero had a stick up his behind," Kaname muttered and turned to Tsuki.

"Unlike Zero, Zophael will take the stick out of his ass, beat you with it and shove it up yours." Tsuki stood beside Kaname. "I have three cousins here. I would suggest you don't do anything to annoy them."

Kaname frowned slightly and stepped back as books and papers scattered by his feet. He looked at the boy that was apologizing and picking them up. Kaname got to his knees and gave him a hand. "There's no reason to apologize." Kaname smiled into pale green eyes that were nearly white and also glowing.

The boy grinned. "Thanks!"

Tsuki raised an eyebrow. "What's with the books, Lucius?"

"I borrowed them the last time I was here and I know that Uncle Lucifer isn't too thrilled about having gaps in his books, so I'm trying to return them as quickly as possible." Lucius grinned and got to his feet, running up the hallway.

"Lucius, Zophael and who's the third?" Kaname asked, standing and staring at Tsuki.

Tsuki pointed to the person in front of Kaname. "Rufus."

Kaname's eyes widened. Glowing red eyes stared back at him, twinkling with mischief. "What's up, vampire?" Rufus asked. He didn't want for an answer and wandered into the kitchen.

"Why do their eyes glow?"

Tsuki smirked. "They're half-breeds."

"Does that mean that your children's eyes will glow?"

Tsuki shook his head and walked past Kaname. "My children won't be Nephilims," he answered.

Kaname stared into space. What in the hell was a Nephilim? Was that a breed of demon as well? It couldn't be. Tsuki would've been able to keep them under control if they were demons. No-one would dare stand up to the son of Satan. Kaname went into the kitchen and stopped dead at the mob scene. Three of Tsuki's nephews were standing off against the Nephilims. The tension was thick enough to cut as the six of them ran their eyes over each other.

Alice wandered into the kitchen with Hoshiko in her arms, the baby giggling. She went to the fridge and got out a pre-made bottle of formula. She heated it up and sat down at the table, completely oblivious to what was happening around her. The tension changed and Tsuki's nephews left the kitchen, eyes lowered and looking somewhat rejected. That was curious. Did those three have a thing for the Nephilims? Lucius looked upset by the standoff.

The Nephilims disappeared and Kaname stepped in, taking Hoshiko from Alice while the bottle cooled down. It felt like forever since he last saw his son. Hoshiko's wine eyes sparkled happily. "What just happened in here, Alice?"

"Nyx, Lex and Eyx at one time had a thing going with Lucius, Rufus and Zoph. They broke it off about half a millennia ago because it was too straining to fight the other. There are still feelings lingering and waiting. It's a sort of 'Romeo and Juliette' deal. Two sides destined to fight each other forever." Alice tested the formula and handed the bottle of Kaname. "I think he wants to be fed by his daddy."

"Where's Hideaki?"

"Asleep in the living room. Shiko-kun here woke up early." Alice ruffled the silver strands and grinned. "I can't wait to have some of my own."

Kaname smiled as he sat Hoshiko up a little more. "Until you do, just worry about being a great aunt to mine and Tsuki's children." He looked up when there was a scream.

"You son of a bitch!"

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Lucius said as he ran through the kitchen and out of the back door, with Aneesina or Annahlyza chasing him in a bathrobe.

"A hundred says Aneesina makes Lucius her bitch," Zophael betted from the entrance to the kitchen.

Lucian, Gregori, Kyrien and Annahlyza snorted. "As if we'd take that bet."

"Five, then."

"They're not that stupid, Zophael. I'm surprised you haven't picked up on that yet. They are my nephews and nieces. They're not going to bet against their own blood," Tsuki said as he walked into the kitchen with Toisha in his arms. "And where do you think your father learnt to gamble from? I taught him and Raphael everything they know."

Toisha looked at Zophael. "Idiot," she gurgled.

Zophael narrowed his eyes and disappeared for a second time. Kaname raised an eyebrow. "Wow. I don't think he likes you very much, Tsuki. So who's his father?"

Tsuki hunted through the fridge and pulled out a small bottle of blood. "You met him yesterday, in the Himalayas. My uncle."

Kaname's eyes widened and he turned around in the chair to stare at Tsuki. "Gabriel? The angel?"

"Archangel, Kaname. He's not just any angel. He's an archangel. I'm getting sick of having to correct you." Tsuki mixed up Toisha's breakfast and sat her in a highchair, placing it in front of her with a spoon. "Yes, Lucius, Rufus and Zophael are half-angel." He ruffled Toisha's curls. "And yes, they can fuck you up."

Kaname glared at Tsuki. "Would you watch your language in front of the children?"

Tsuki opened the pantry and pulled out a box of crackers and dip from the fridge. He sat across from Kaname. "They'll hear worse in school. At least your kids should be able to teach the others something if they learn it from me."

Kaname watched as Tsuki ate the crackers and drip like he was a starving man. "I don't think I want my children to be home schooled because no schools will accept them for their foul mouths."

Crackers and dip gone, Tsuki threw out the rubbish. "You know it won't come to that. I could teach them how to blackmail someone or start up their own gang. If you don't want that I suggest you stop bitching about my language and accept the fact that there is worse for your children than them learning how to say fuck."

Kaname nodded. He was beginning to wonder when he was going to learn to not fight Tsuki on some things. It seemed obvious that he had gotten into trouble for his foul mouth around children before as that all seemed a little too rehearsed. "You win. As long as you don't teach my children how to blackmail someone or get them into a gang."

"Some things just can't be taught." Tsuki sat down and ran his hand along the table. A large breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, pancakes, mushrooms, onions and toast appeared.

"What's that meant to…mean…" Kaname stared as Tsuki barely chewed his food as he ate. He didn't think that the demon was being starved. "Are you okay, Tsuki?"

"Yeah, I'm just hungry." A cup of coffee appeared and Tsuki took a break to drink it. "And what it means is that vampires are demons. They might be low level demons but they're still evil. Blackmail is an evil, greedy and selfish thing to do. Gangs are usually just out to raise a little a hell. There isn't anything I'm gonna teach your kids that they won't already know."

Alice watched her uncle eat the food. Something didn't seem right. Tsuki was a big eater – the biggest in the family – but it didn't explain the way he ate at dinner the previous night and the big breakfasts. Her eyes widened. "Uncle Tsu –"

"Alice." Tsuki stared her down and she nodded, excusing herself.

Kaname raised an eyebrow. "What was that about?"

Tsuki finished off the last of his breakfast and sipped some orange juice. "Nothing. She was going to try and embarrass me. I didn't want her to bring up the story again."

Kaname placed the empty bottle on the table and burped Hoshiko. "Are you sure? She looked as though she had just seen a ghost or something that scares demons." Kaname's eyes bored into Tsuki's. "Does it have something to do with your insatiable appetite?"

"My appetite isn't insatiable, Kaname." Tsuki gazed back at the vampire, waiting for him to try and come out right.

"Like hell it isn't. Yuuki is scared. Whenever you come around to our place, you eat something. I've seen you pack away at least three hundred dollars worth of food in one sitting. You've gotten worse in the last six months. So are you tell me what's going on or I speak to Alice."

Tsuki cocked an eyebrow. "You can talk to her all you want. I can take her voice away. If you get her to write, she'll lose her hands. Then there's also the fact that she won't say anything out of fear of what I can do to her."

Kaname shook his head. "If you make my sister cry, I will find a way of killing you."

A bowl of fruit appeared and Tsuki grabbed a banana. "I don't know what you're talking about. Everything is fine with me. So my appetite has gotten a little bigger than before. Is that such a crime, all of a sudden?"

"You ate almost everything that was put out on the table last night. I know because Zero and I got hungry after a few hours. Your mother told us that there weren't any leftovers because you were starving. And then Gabriel asks you if you have the power to take me to safety. Call me picky but the teleport here was a lot more bumpy than it should've been."

Tsuki rolled his eyes as he grabbed an apple. "Fine, you're picky. Did the fact that I had been up for the last twenty-four hours, porting all over the damn world escape your memory? Not to mention killing demons that were breaking the rules. There's a lot that a member of the Council of Six has to do. My power is not limitless. If I use too much, I eat more to keep my energy up. That or I sleep for a thousand years and with the wedding three days away, I don't think I can do that."

"Tsuki, you can use finding me as an excuse all you want but I know for a fact that a demon as powerful as you would not get worn out teleporting to every country on the planet and taking out a few hundred demons. Are you going to tell me what's really going on or do I have to get Yuuki to get it out of you?"

"You can do whatever the hell you want but I'll tell her the exact same thing I've told you. Do you want to know why I'll tell her that? Because it's the truth. If you don't like it, I don't give a shit. You have no right to try and run my life the way you are with Zero and your children." Tsuki picked up the bowl and walked out of the kitchen. He returned a few moments later. "You get out of here. I've got a child to look after and yours has finished eating."

Kaname shook his head. "I'm not going anywhere until I get the actual truth from you. You…Christ, you're half way through a bowl of fruit and you expect me to believe that you're dandy?"

Tsuki ate the remaining grapes and shrugged. "Believe what you want but just know that I'm telling you the truth. Lying is also a sin." Tsuki mentally shook his head, hoping to have it all sorted out before Kaname got any closer to the truth.

Kaname got to his feet. Tsuki hadn't won anything, yet. "I'm not going to play this game with you all day, Tsuki. I want to know what's wrong with you before the wedding. If you don't tell me, I'm calling it off. I can deal with Yuuki's anger if it means she won't suffer a broken heart because you're too proud to accept help." Kaname was almost out of the kitchen he heard Tsuki's voice. "What was that?"

"You wouldn't be able to help me, anyway."

Kaname lowered his eyes. When he raised them, Tsuki was halfway through six cheeseburgers. "If you told me what was going on maybe I could help find a solution."

"You heard one of the solutions – sleep for a thousand years. The other one is kill a thousand people and reap their souls." Tsuki stared at Kaname with dull eyes.

"You're responsible for over a billion souls being reaped. Why do you have to be the one that reaps them after you kill them?"

"Part of the process and also because I'm the one that killed them. Soul reapers usually kill the person and then take their souls. I need to play death for at least twenty-four hours to achieve what I need to do."

"You're not going to do it, are you?" Kaname asked, studying the demon that was unwrapping the last cheeseburger.

End Chapter II.

So I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I would've updated a lot sooner but I was helping a friend move house and was held prisoner for four days. But I was paid handsomely for it! *eats the pocky* And I hope no-one did anything too bad on April Fools.
And it also turns out that I can have this story complete in three chapters, instead of four. But seeing as I've advertised it at the end of Sweet Deception and in my profile as a four part story, I'll think of something to do for the final chapter.

Now, onto my favorite part of the story!

ben4kevin: I actually had chapters one and two of this story complete before Sweet Deception was done. The only problem was I was confusing myself on where I was going to be taking this one! Sad, right? Thanks for your review and can't wait to hear from ya again!

mpidez: Aww, I'm glad your happy! I hope you enjoyed this chapter, too!

ElheiM: LOL! I loved your review! I hope this answered some of your questions and hopefully any more that you have will be answered in the next chapter! I can't wait to hear from you again!

To everyone who has alerted/favorited: Thanks a bunch! I hope this update kept you happy!

To everyone else: *shrugs* I dunno...Review, I guess or alert or whatever. I just hope you're enjoying it! But let me know if you are!

Also, please ignore all mistakes you might see. I've tried to get them all but I'm only human...I wish I wasn't, though!

So until the next chapter, I hope you'll all have a great week and I'll see you next time!

Peace!
