I only got two requests for a next chapter, but I guess that's enough for now. Here you go, please review. I like knowing what you guys think, also, I guess I should do a disclaimer, although I don't see the point. If I owned this shit, Yamato and Tai would be together. And I wouldn't be writing on FANfiction, would I?
Anyways, I don't know anything except the plot, and OC's later on. Technically, I don't even own Alec, just his personality. Enjoy.
Yamato
Alec, Alec, Alec, Alec, Alec, Alecalecalecalec. I groan.
"What's the matter?" I glance across the room from my position on the couch to my roommate, Mimi, who is just coming into the living room. Her long brunette hair is piled on top of her head in a messy bun. Her eyes, which are also brown, openly show off the golden ring surrounding the iris. She's wearing a t-shirt, and very skimpy underwear. Somehow, I doubt she was actually sleeping. We're night people, her and I.
"Puts some clothes on." I spit, dropping my head onto the arm of the couch with a thud.
"I don't think I will. It's not my fault you're out here at two in the morning, instead of in your bed." She points out. Mimi sits in a chair across from me, and opens her mouth, but is stopped by the door opening, and our other roommate entering the apartment.
"Why are you guys awake?" Daisuke asks, confused. We had both been out all day, and should be sleeping by now, having not slept the night before. He reminds me of Taichi, with wild brown hair, and big innocent eyes. Except Daisuke's have a silver circle. Is it strange for angels and demons living together? Probably, but we're all running, which makes us friends.
"Why aren't you wearing any clothes, Meems?" He asks.
"I was sleeping, but Yamato's been out here pouting for the last fourteen hours." Oh, so she was sleeping. Whoops.
"Fighting with your boyfriend again?" Daisuke asks as he kicks off his shoes.
"He's not my boyfriend." I say, automatically. Then smash my head against the couch again. He should be, though, I remind myself again.
"Knock it off, Yamato. It's us. We know how much you like this boy, so why do this to yourself?" Mimi asks.
"He doesn't want to be with me. He's too scared." I mumble.
"But he gets mad at you when you're with someone else?" Daisuke asks. I can see the confusion all over his face. He comes and moves my legs, dropping them into his lap once he sits. Dai is younger then me and Mimi, him being only fifteen. He, like Mimi and I, is emancipated, so he doesn't have to worry about parents to work.
"You should just tell him to either be with you, or leave you alone." Mimi says firmly.
"I can't, Mimi."
"Why?"
"Because I'm an idiot, and he's a hunter. And I love him."
"He's a what?" Daisuke shouts.
"Yamato!" Mimi says at the same time. I groan. Right then, there's a loud knock on the door, causing all of us to jump. Mimi, being closest to the door, hops up to answer it, assuming it's either Daisuke's girlfriend, Kari, who is an angel, or her own boyfriend Jyou, who is a demon. Kari, also happens to be Taichi's sister. Not that he knows I know her.
"Mimi!" I hiss. She turns back to me, and the gold in gone from her eyes, just in case. I look at Daisuke, who has also hidden his silver. My gold only shows up when I'm overly emotional, or when I want it to. Mimi opens the door a crack.
"Oh. Hi." I hear her say. Certainly not someone that should be here. I hear someone talking, softly. Mimi peeks into the room, which makes me sit up, and move away from Daisuke. Then she throws the door open, and walks away, taking her spot back in the chair. Taichi and Alec. I blink in surprise.
"Are you coming in, or taking him? It's kind of cold, you know." Mimi says.
"Mimi." I snap. Neither boy moves. I get up and walk across the room, and pull Taichi in. Alec follows without a second thought. I close the door. I glance at Alec, and can tell something more then just me is wrong. Taichi rolls his eyes.
"Sorry, Yamato. He insisted. He said he knew you were awake." Taichi says. I can hear the clear annoyance in his tone. Alec shifts, eyes going down.
"We were awake. And it's fine, Alec. What's wrong, exactly?" I ask. Alec shakes his head, like he doesn't want to talk about it. Taichi is kicking off his shoes.
"He had a nightmare. Was screaming so loud I'm surprised he didn't wake everybody up! And then, we had to come all the way here to see you." Taichi snaps. Alec's head snaps up, and I grab him around the waist before he can actually attack Taichi.
"Enough. Taichi, don't be a jerk. Alexander, calm down." Alec smacks me, which makes Mimi laugh. He turns his blue eyes to her, and, in a completely non-Alec manner, sticks his tongue out at her. I sigh, knowing what's coming next. Mimi's tongue comes out, too.
"Why isn't she wearing pants?" Alec asks me.
"Because she was sleeping. Mimi, go back to bed. Daisuke, go shower. Oh, by the way, this is Taichi and Alec." I add. Mimi and Daisuke say 'goodnight' at the same time, before disappearing down the hallway. I sit back down on the couch, and gesture to the other boys they should sit, too. Taichi takes over Mimi's chair, and Alec sits beside me.
"What's the real reason she wasn't wearing pants?" Taichi asks.
"She was sleeping. I woke her up, I was hitting my head on the arm of the couch." Alec's hand immediately goes to the back of my head.
"Why were you doing that?" He asks. I shrug.
"Felt like it." I say.
"Okay then, you're weird." Taichi says.
"And you're really fucking bitchy." I snap. "Please, remember whose house you're in." I add. Taichi blinks in surprise.
"Swearing isn't supposed to be pretty." He says after a few seconds. Alec looks at him with an expression I can't quite read.
"Uhm." I spin around, and notice Alec doing the same, to find Daisuke showered and in a pair of sweatpants. His shirt is on, because it hides the moon mark above his heart.
"I'm going to assume, Alec, that you are the boy Yama's always talking about, feel free to correct me," Daisuke says. Alec says nothing, and so he continues. "so I'm assuming that means you'll be sleeping in his room. But, I have an extra pull out bed kinda deal in my room, if you want Taichi. The couch is kinda small." Taichi looks at me like he's awaiting approval.
"Goodnight." I tell him. Taichi follows Daisuke down the hallway. I hear them laugh, and then a door shut. I stand, and take Alec's hand, pulling him with me. He follows without complaint. Alec's only ever been in my room once before, and he's never been in my house when the other occupants are home. I keep it like that for a reason. I push the door open, closing it behind us. Alec watches me cross the room, and climb into my bed.
"Come lay down. Tell me about your dream." At first, I think Alec's going to say no, but then he literally runs across the room, jumping onto my bed, and hiding under the covers against me.
"It was scary." He's voice is on the verge of tears. "Take your shirt off." He demands.
"What?" I ask, confused. That's kind of..blunt, isn't it? Especially for Alec.
"Take your shirt off." He repeats. I do it, just because it's Alec, and I owe him. His hands touch my skin, and it's almost like he's feeling for...Oh. He is. My sun mark, that should be on my chest, is not. Thankfully. Alec has seen it though. I wonder how he's never figured me out. Alec sighs, and drops his hand.
"Are you going to tell me now?" I ask, gently. Although I can already assume what is's about. Alec has no idea I know what he is.
"You had this mark...On your chest..and because of it.." He just kind of trails off.
"Because of it?" I prompt.
"Don't die, okay?" He asks, instead.
"I don't plan on dying any time soon." I tell him. He snuggles into my chest.
"Good." I feel him say it more then hear it. Alec looks up at me suddenly, and I raise an eyebrow. Then we're kissing. There's no stunned frozen minute, there's no wait, no thinking. I kiss him back as if I had been the one to start it. His fingers run across the skin on my exposed stomach, and it causes goosebumps. I place my hand over his, stilling his hand. I can feel the question on his lips. I can hear it flit through his head, too. I pull away gently. His head drops against my chest. All he can think is he's rejecting me. I kiss the top of his head.
"I need sleep. And I don't think tonight's the best time to have sex for the first time, anyways." He looks up at me, startled. That was exactly what he wanted. To try and prove he still loved me. I pull Alec against my tightly. He snuggles into me. That's how I fall asleep.
Nagami, and her twin Natsuko stand together. Both of their husbands stand by idle, awaiting orders. Nagami, the older twin, has a silver ring her blue eyes. Her sister, a golden one.
"I want him, Natsuko." Nagami says.
"I want him, too. He's my son."
"And yet, I raised him." The older girl snarls.
"For just as long as I did, it would appear. I gave him to you when he was five. So you would take care of him. Not beat him, and make him scared of the world. He ran away at ten. He's been on his own for almost 9 years now."
"And how, I wonder, has he not been caught yet?" The older girl ponders the question, turning her eyes to her husband. He is also demon. As is the angel twins husband. And angel and a demon. Married.
"I have no idea." Natsuko purses her lips. She wants nothing more then to see her oldest child. It's been fourteen years. Her sister basically ignores her.
"The Yagami's. They should know. Let's start at their school..." Nagami says eventually.
Taichi
Something in my gut twinges. Something telling me to get up. Danger is screams. I climb out of the cot type bed in Daisuke's room, and find that there are no two bodies in his bed. One female. I slip out of the room, quietly, and head to the living room. As I walk past Yamato and Alec's door I get a huge flash of Oh, God, where is he? from Alec, but then it's gone. Alec opens the door and follows me. Alec steps around me.
"Allie." I say. He stops immediately, to glare at me.
"What?" He demands.
"Do you feel it?" I whisper. Alec falls silent, and I can feel him trying to feel what woke me up. His eyes widen.
"Yamato?" He calls softly into the living room.
"Hmm?" Yamato's voice is muffled by blanket, but he does respond. My eyes drift to the couch he had been on last night, and the blonde is curled up in blankets, drinking something hot, watching cartoons. Mimi sits on the couch where I imagine his feet are, with a boy with blue hair. He has glasses on, though. A nerd with blue hair? turns to look at us. He gives us a smile. It's still early. It's been maybe four hours since we all went to bed.
"What's wrong?" Alec asks, clearly he saw something I didn't. I mentally question this. I get an image of a startled looking blonde I hadn't seen while I was examining the other boy.
"What? Oh, nothing. I just had a dream I wasn't...fond of. I'm okay. Come sit." Yamato makes room for Alec to sit with him under the blankets, which to my surprise, Alec accepts. He snuggles into Yamato's arms, almost sitting in his lap. I take the chair I had last night.
"What're you drinking?" Alec asks.
"Hot chocolate." Yamato says absently. Alec opens his mouth to say something, but Mimi is standing.
"Do you want some? I'm going to get some for myself, so.." She offers.
Oh. Uhm, yes please." Alec says, looking at her. She glances at me with a smile.
"Sure, thanks." I say. My eyes are still on Alec and Yamato, though. I didn't feel anything from them last night. And I doubt Alec could've hid his emotions from me if something had happened. But maybe like me, he just feels more comfortable with these people. The feeling of danger has passed, and I wonder what had caused it. I don't worry about it too much, though. It could have been a demon walking past the front door, for all I knew. Mimi returns with three mugs of hot chocolate. She hands mine to me first, and then Alec his.
"Thank you." We say at the same time. Earning a laugh from Yamato, and a giggle from Mimi. Mimi looks at Alec.
"So, Allie," She says. Alec shoots me a deadly glare. "are you and Yama dating yet? Because you're super cute together." Yamato chokes on his hot chocolate.
"Mimi!" He snaps. Alec face is a dark shade of pink.
"Yea, Allie! You're sooo cute together!" I add. Mimi grins at me. The blue haired boy glances between us.
"I don't think it's nice of you to tease Yamato and his guests. He does let us all stay here." He says. Mimi sighs.
"Oh, Jyou. Yamato doesn't mind, do you Yama?" Mimi asks.
"Leave the poor boy alone. What him and Alec choose to do has nothing to do with any of us." A new voice adds. She sounds angry, and familiar. "And shut the hell up. I'm tired." She snaps. I glance at her, and my mouth drops open.
"Kari!?" Alec and I say at the same time. She gives us a smile.
"Hey, big brothers.." I hear Mimi and Jyou gasp. Yamato, does not seem nearly as surprised, though.
"How're you..why..but.." I stutter, trying to make anything come out of my mouth towards my younger sister.
"I live here. With Daisuke." She says.
"How can you afford that?" I demand. She raises an eyebrow at me.
"Since when is that any of your business, Taichi? I think you made it plenty clear you wanted nothing to do with me. But if you must know, Daisuke works. And he pays his rent. And since I'm here with him, I'm allowed to stay."
"You let fifteen year olds live in your house?" Alec asks his almost boyfriend. Yamato shrugs.
"Fifteen year olds that don't have to worry about parents, yes. I also let a 16 and 17 year old boy stay here without informing their parents where they were going."
"He's right." Alec says. Kari spins on her heel and storms away from us, the door down the hall slamming. I groan.
"It could've been worse." Mimi says cheerfully.
"Yea," Yamato adds, "she could've clawed your eyes out." Alec gives a snort of laughter. We both know Kari is capable of it, too. Alec mentally tries to comfort me.
"I wish I knew." I mutter.
"Well, now you do. The doors never locked, so, you can come see her whenever." Yamato offers.
"Thanks." I mutter. Not that I think it'll help with how mad she is.
"How did you even find Kari?" Alec asks.
"She came over with Daisuke to my old house, crying. Said her parents kicked her out. I told her she could stay, as long as she helped clean. And cook." Alec nods his head, like that all makes sense, but it doesn't. My sister is an angel. Does that mean Yamato knows about angels? Or has she hidden it from him? Does she trust him with everything she has? Did he know she was my sister? He must have. I chew on my lip, completely forgetting about the hot chocolate in my hand, until my phone rings, and I jump.
"Fuck!" I snap, as the hot liquid spills onto my hands. I put the mug down on the table, and dig my phone out of my pocket. Alec's watching me with interested. Yamato had looked when I swore, but is now watching the T.V again.
"Hello?" I ask into the phone, once I manage to pull the damn thing out of my pocket.
"Taichi? You need to come home. Nagami Takashi and Natsuko Ishida are here. They need help. Apparently their son i-" My mother says, panic in her voice.
"Wait. Their son? Aren't they twins? How is that possible? Why is that even..." I trail off when three other pairs of eyes land on me.
"I guess he's Natsuko's first born, but when he was five she gave him to her sister, because he has demon blood in him, too. He ran away when he was ten. No one's seen him since."
"How long ago was that?" I ask.
"Nine years." My mother says quietly.
"And they just want to find him now? That doesn't make any sense. We're on our way." I hang up the little device, and glance at Alec. He's already climbed to his feet and is heading towards Yamato's room.
"You have to go?" Yamato asks. I nod.
"Someone from my school is missing, we're going to go help look for him." I say. Yamato nods.
"Want more help?" He offers. I shake my head.
"He's the type to run away whenever he gets upset. I'm sure he'll turn up soon." I say. Alec has returned, fully dressed and with his sweater on.
"Bye." Yamato says, quietly.
"Bye." Alec and I say together, as we're putting our shoes on. Alec casts one last look behind him, before he closes the door, and we race back to the school, to find out what the high angel, and high demon want with their son.
