A/N: Yes I live! And here is the next chapter as proof! Thank you to all those who continue to read my stuff. You see the reason this is so late, is quite truthfully because I have run into severe writers block for both this story and St Brutus. NOTE TO READERS OF ST BRUTUS ACADEMY FOR INCURABLY DARK CREATURES: I am working on the story. I never expected it to get as far as it did, so now basically I have no clue where I'm going with it so I've had to do some major reworking. For the next few chapters of it I will for the most part just be introducing characters, so nothing too important to the storyline will happen for awhile. The chapters still should be read because important things still happen, but they'll be fewer large plot points than normal. End Note FOR ST BRUTUS Thanks for the support, review responses at the end of the chapter. By the way another reason for the lateness is amongst the review responses, you'll see what I mean.

Disclaimer: If I owned it I wouldn't be searching so desperately for a job right now. So I own nothing.

Four Mutts and Two Snakes

Ch. 2 England and America are Two Countries Separated by the Same Language

The band woke bright and early, noon, "whas tha stupid beebin noise?" Alexis grumbled, raising his head slightly from his pillow. "That would be the alarm to get up." Irvine said gently. "TJ can you smack the sleep button?" Alexis asked in a cutesy voice. "I already did fifty-seven times." TJ grumbled. Everyone but TJ flew into a sitting position. "What!" Alexis, Aryn, and Irvine yelled. TJ grumbled and turned over. Aryn stared at him, obviously pissed off "You dunce! We have to be in England by three o'clock our time," she trailed off, "something or other their time!"

When TJ just grumbled again Alexis pushed him off the bed. "Hey!" TJ shouted. Alexis smiled brightly at him. TJ couldn't stay mad at that face. TJ suddenly heard a loud squeak from Alexis. The brunette on the floor immediately sat up. Aryn had one hand on Alexis' waist; the other hand was placed on one side of the young incubus' neck, tilting it gently to one side.

Aryn's fangs elongated. She gently buried them into Alexis' neck. Alexis groaned softly. His eyes closed halfway. It was very pleasurable to have a vampire drink your blood, if the vampire wanted it to be at least. But Aryn loved Alexis like a brother; she'd never want to hurt him.

She sucked the blood from his neck slowly, enjoying the rich taste. Alexis moaned in arousal, which in turn made TJ moan. TJ climbed back on the bed and gently placed a chaste Alexis' soft lips. The incubi fed off each other's sexual energy, which was abundant at the moment. TJ pulled his boyfriend back to him for another kiss. But the older incubi pulled away quickly. He believed his younger lover was not prepared to go much further than kisses and gropes, no mater what the other might think, and no matter how much he himself might want to just take him. A virgin incubus at age sixteen was rare, but TJ liked him that way.

Aryn grew her fangs from the pale flash and licked the excess blood from Alexis' neck. Alexis panted heavily. " Ahh the blood of a virgin, so delectable!" Aryn said to herself. Irvine just sort of sighed and got out of bed. It took about five minutes for the other three to come down from their respective highs. No one was grumbling anymore and everyone got dressed quickly.

"Hey Tails weren't you born in England?" TJ asked curiously. Alexis shrugged as he zipped up a tight black leather vest. "I dunno that's what Calix and Monarose told me. I haven't been there since I was sent away as a baby. They obviously didn't want me so I didn't go back. Calix and Monarose are my parents, I love them and they love me I don't need anyone else." His smile was a bit stilted.

The rest of the band left him to pull on his black leather pants with red stripes. TJ was wearing black leather pants and a slightly loose black shirt. Over that he wore a red trench coat. Aryn was wearing a red Japanese summer kimono that had a blue butterfly pattern on it. Irvine had on a blue dress shirt and black dress slacks.

They all journeyed to the bathroom. Along one wall was four sinks, in-between the first and second, and then again between the third and forth sinks was a cup with two toothbrushes each. The first sink is Aryn's, the second Irvine's, the third Alexis', and the fourth TJ's. After both had brushed their teeth TJ came up behind Alexis. He undid the ribbons in Alexis' hair, which they'd forgotten to remove the night previous. TJ ran a wet comb through the other incubus' hair until it was straight. After that he switched to a brush and made sure to get rid of any tangles or snags.

Alexis smiled happily into the mirror at TJ. The golden-eyed male smiled back and began dividing the hair into two sections before rewrapping the ribbons around the individual sections. Everyone else was packing by the time they exited the bathroom. Irvine could spike his hair in ten seconds and Aryn never took out her braid, her hair never got messy, it was a vampire thing. "Stupid people!" Alexis mumbled. Everyone else just chuckled; TJ didn't even do anything but comb his hair.

Alexis grabbed his bottomless backpack and started stuffing clothes into it. At one-thirty everyone was ready to go. Their private jet was waiting at the top of the building. After almost literally tossing their luggage into the cargo hold they all boarded the aircraft. In just twenty minutes the plane took off and the band manager laid into them for their late timing.

"It'll ruin your reputation if you are late! I demand you all be punctual, neat, and polite, and Alexis cut your goddamned hair! I know that's why you all are so late, because of your fucking vanity! It's unbefitting of a guy to have hair to his ass anyway!" The manager shouted, he had been out of his seatbelt and shouting the moment he could. Here Alexis started to silently cry. He had been a bit sheltered as a kid; overall he was kind of sensitive. Aryn stood up and walked towards the manager. She was at least half a foot shorter than him, but she seemed to tower over the other. She pointed a finger at TJ. "He is the reason we are late. He hit the snooze button fifty-seven times!"

TJ was too busy getting Alexis to stop crying to argue with the female of their group. Irvine was gently rubbing Alexis' back in a soothing manor. There was a sudden pop and there was now a large black dog with gold eyes where TJ once was. The dog laid across Alexis' lap. Alexis smiled a watery smile and ran his fingers through Grin's soft fur. Alexis glared at the manager while Aryn and the manager moved to sit back down. Aryn sat next to Alexis on the opposite side of the incubus was Irvine. Alexis was content, sandwiched between Aryn and Irvine, with TJ in Grin form on his lap. There was silence in the aircraft.

Four hours later their plane touched ground. They were two hours and fifty-five minutes late, but the show wasn't until seven o'clock. Alexis got a warm feeling as soon as his feet touched the ground. Even he couldn't deny that in some sentimental way, he was home. They were supposed to rest and then practice, but who wants to do that in an unfamiliar country? They all looked at each other with identical mischievous grins on their faces. Then they all ran as fast as they could, out of sight before their manager could get off the plane.

-To be Continued-

A/N: yes that's it for now. Things will start heating up soon. Please review! My small rant is in the review responses too.

Review Responses:

OrionLuckyStar: Well I hope you like it cause I do try!

DarkEnchantor: I was trying something different I suppose. I know most everything on is in past tense but I wanted to make an attempt at present tense. I'm pretty sure most of this chapter's in past tense though; it really is just easier to write, probably why most people use it. Anyway thanks for the review.

Disgruntledfairy: Thank you! Here's the next chapter!

Madness comes to all: Sorry for the long wait but I've finally finished this chapter. The poll will be answered in the story probably next chapter or at the latest the one after that.

Aurora Matsuei: yeah like I said I think it's pretty obvious who Harry is but I'm writing it so of course I know, if I didn't something would obviously be wrong.

SleepingSun08: Yes Alexis is kind of innocent, especially for an incubus. But that's only because he's been sheltered by friends and family, he realizes it too, but doesn't mind because it makes him happy. He he one might think I threw the books out the window. By the way nothing could be worse English than my typing on aim, that might as well not be English.

o0JubJub0o: yeeeah sorry about that wait, minor cough major cough writer's block. But it's here now!

Serpent91: Thanks much!

REASON STARTS HERE

This is an absolutely idiotic piece of dreck. I hope that someone close to you will be nice enough to beg you to stop this madness while there is yet time. Have you ever heard of a Gary Stu? I advise that you check out the following link. You will discover that it is familiar territory for the likes of you. http://en. Please, please, PLEASE leave this fandom and never even think about coming back. You are a disgrace to the name of fanfiction.

To the person who wrote the above that signed anonymously: first of all I'd like to kindly tell you to fuck yourself on a rusty spatula. Secondly my friends love my work, this included. Moving into, yes I've heard of a Gary Stu, but seeing as I'm female, don't use them, or Mary Sues for that matter. And what the fuck is with the link to nowhere, now that was idiotic. If I'm a disgrace to fandom then you sir are most defiantly a disgrace to your mother. Sign in next time you flame so I can bash you properly. That's all thanks!

REASON ENDS HERE sorry about that but I just had to rant a little. Moving on.

Shadow of a Shadow: Here it is, sorry for the wait!

BluePhoenixFairy: Thanks, here's the second chapter for you!

Nixie02: It shall all be revealed in the next two chapters, hope you can wait till then! I agree Alexis is cute, I like him that way, he's cuddly!

Kagedfox: It's late but it's here!

Leather-doll: Thank you. Thank you. Harry's identity will be unveiled in the next two chapters.

lil-bugga: I hope you enjoyed!
