Authors notes: This is a sequal to my other Read or Die, so if you didnt read it then you should. Nancy and Yomiko arent going to be in this story much.

I "Borrowed" "Blinking" from The T.V. show "Charmed."

()thoghts between each other

-

Disclamer: I do not own Read or Die cause, if I did I Tabby and I (not rich anymore cause he wont talk to me) would be passing our entrence exams to become agents of the Library.

"Congradulations," Joker says handing them diplomas, "I herby grant you membership to the Library."

"Great!" Tabby yells, "Now wheres the books."

"We are in a library, tabby, there are books everywhere," Eric replies.

"SIT!"

-

(2 days after Nancy and Yomikos wedding)

"Since we are going to be gone for a while, we decided to give you our powers," Yomiko was explaining to Eric/Judgemaster," Since you can "borrow" peoples powers, you will become the temporary paper master for the Library for a few months."

"Ok what fun! I love to train with new powers." He replied, not sarcastically for once.

(2 months later)

"Get Out Asshole!" Eric screamed loudly at rich, "I don't ever want to see you again."

His anger was getting very strong, paper began levitating around the room (from yomikos power being borrowed), and he was picking up a judge card from his pocket. Rich was beginning to show the signs of claws, and fangs.

"And take your damn ring back, too." Eric said throwing his engagement ring at the half wolf-looking man. Eric's claws were also gleaming in the dull light of their shared apartment. He stood in his silk kimono pajamas, ready for battle.

"I will not fight you," Rich replied

He turned, walked to their room, grabbed his clothes and left Eric standing their in his pajamas with tears silently streaming down his face.

-

(30 minutes later, Tabby and Drakes apartment)

Knock, Knock

"Damn, who would be here at this hour." Tabby rolled out of bed, and put on a robe.

She looke out the peep hole and saw, and that it was Eric. She opened the door.

Eric fell into her arms, he was still in his kimono pajamas, "He left." was all he said before sobbing into her arms.

"Drake." Tabby called not interuppting Eric, because she knew it was best for him to get it out before trying to talk to him.

Drake walked out in his pajamma bottoms, and responed, "what?"

"It's Eric," she replied, "Help me move him to the bed." Drake complied.

Drake picked up Eric in his arms, and he cuddled up to Drake. He put Eric on the bed, and Tabby followed them into the room and sat down beside him and held him silently, as he cried. It had bothered her that he, the Judgemaster, a man, 18, very young but still a man, who commanded a lot of power and respect from people, could be feeling so hurt and pained.

About twenty minutes later Eric had calmed down, "Do you wanna tell me about," Tabby asked and nodded at Drake who turned to leave.

"No, don't leave," Eric called out, sniffleing, "I want you here too, I consider you a good friend, I mean you are Tabby's husband we see each other at least four hours a day."

Drake turned back and sat down on the bed, "Thank You, I consider you a good friend too."

"What happened then?" Tabby asked.

"Well," Eric began, " We were at the apartment, we had just gotten back from a party we had been to, and we were starting to get ready for bed. I had just changed into my kimono and he taken off his shirt, and we were laying in bed together and I asked him about the wedding date. And he got mad, he never told me why he got mad, and he stood up and walked to the living room and I followed him. I asked what was wrong and he turned and he said nothing. Next thing I knew he started changing, my claws were out, a judge card in my hand, and paper flying. I told him to get out, and I never wanted to see him again." He had let it all out and looked real tired. " Do you mind if I stay here tonight, I really don't want to go back there."

"Yeah, its fine," Tabby said, sliding the covers around them and preparing for them to go to sleep knowing that was what he wanted but would never say it.

"I should call Joker and tell him that we won't be in tomarrow." Drake said.

"No, I don't want you to not to go to work tomarrow." Eric exclaimed.

"Joker can wait till tommarrow, get in here," Tabby commanded, in a strong, yet compashionate voice.

Tabby was holding Eric on his right side, with her arms around him, and drake did the same on Eric's left side, Eric cuddled up to them and sighed before going to a deep sleep

A Taller man, with shorter brown hair and more masculine looks, turned to Eric and kissed him. Eric woke from his deep sleep, and smiled.

(Who was that, Eric whisperd to himself.)

"What did you see now," Tabby asked, knowing that he had a vision in his sleep.

" I saw a man, and I felt a great energy about him." he replied.

-

I dont own Read or Die, cause if I I did I would own the Library and I would use their researching tools to find Bunny the perfect man.

-

The next day Eric woke up to Drake holding him like a teddy bear.

('Hmm, someone like to snuggle,' Eric thought, 'Lets see what he's dreaming,')

He looked in and saw Drake holding Eric, 'I won't let anything bad ever happen to you again, neither will Tabby.' Eric got out of his mind because he didnt want to pry to much.

"Breakfast," Tabby called, "You better get out here because I cooked, and I don't normally dont have that kind of patience."

Eric revaled in the feeling that he hadn't had in a while, because about three weeks ago Rich started to get more distant and didnt give Eric as much affection. But finally he gave Drake a little prod in the arm to wake him up, but hedidnt so he blew on his ear a little. Drake sat right up and all the covers fell on Eric.

"Wha.." Drake asked.

"Umm... Drake you might want to.. umm.. I dont know..." eric said a little bashfully.

Drake looked down and saw that somehow during the night he had discarded the rest of his clothes. Eric turned around and began fidgiting with his kimono, which surprisingly enough stayed in place during the night. Drake put on some clothes and they walked to the kitchen together. Tabby had created, for lack of a better term, a feast, but then again when it came to Eric she always was very extravagent. Waffles, Eggs, Sausage, pancakes and gravy, she knew that was one of Eric's favorite breakfast foods, potatoes, and other things too.

"So," Tabby began, " We are going to the mall today, Eric"

Eric, knowing that Tabby hated the mall, knew she was trying to take his mind off of Rich had said, "You dont have to do this you know."

"But I want to," Tabby said, "if it makes you happy I'll even try on clothes." the last part came out sort of rough Eric knew that Tabby hated clothes shopping most of all.

So after Eric took an hour and a half ("Gods what could he be doing in there," Drake thought) They had two bathrooms, Eric and Tabby took the master bathroom and left The little shower stall and sink to Drake. The master bathroom had two jucuzzi bathes, Which Eric put his special oils and herbs into, two sinks upplied with all the essential hair care products that Eric kept their for when he stayed over, much to Tabby's dislike the hair care not the staying over. and other fun stuff. Anyhow, after two and a half hours they were finally ready to go to the mall.

-

I do not own Read or Die cause if I did I would be handing Dr. Adams an excuse from school the day before from Joker

"Please excuse Judgemasters absence yesterday, he was in London combating I-Jins latest attempt at taking over the world.

Scincerly

Joker

"Who's Judgemaster?"

-

(The mall- Hot Topic)

"I could use this as part of my battle outfit." Eric said picking up a pair of spiked braclets. The spikes complimented his black kimono and black/silver cloak, he had let his hair down which was mid-back length, he forewent braiding it. He had already compiled a lot of clothes, which drake was holding. The already bought clothes were put into a rip in space that Eric created.

Eric held Tabby to her promise, he had ,ade her try on a pair of boots, two kimonos, and three pairs of bondage pants. all of which he bought for her, much to her complant.

They were then in the occult store, picking up some herbs. "I was thnking of putting hemlock root smeared on my claws." Eric was thinking out loud.

Again drake was holding all of his potential buyings, this time books and bags of herbs. Tabby was off looking in some advanced speel book, probably looking for ideas to do to Rich for hurting Eric, but without bringing bad karma back on herself.

"Do you have any athames, sir"? Eric asked the sales person.

("Hmm weapons, not so boring." Drake thought.

"I had to buy you something for all you did for me, especially carrying all this stuff." Eric replied cheerfully)

"Tabby get over here!" Eric called.

"Yes," she called as she came over.

"I never got you a proper wedding present, so...," He trailed off, "I am getting you this you this."

He produced a stunning set of clear tarot cards almost like hi blank cards, excpt you couldn't see the actual card face throuh it probably a charm Eric had put on them.

"Oh my, its buetiful," Tabby exclaime," but.. no you cant buy this for us."

"It's for you, I can, and I will." He replied and ending the statement with a 'you wont win' look.

He then took drake to the pottery store and bought him a new pottery wheel, because Drake attempted to teach Eric how to use the last one he had and Eric acadentally stuck it with his claws when it slung pottery water on him and surprised him.

They were at another clothing store with a fifty percent of sale we have to go, he wailed, its cashmere, when...

-

I do not own Read or Die because if I did then I would be giving Tabby her late birthday present of having all the Library agents line up in front of our local Wal-Mart(Which I alsodont own).

"Happy Birthday to you Tabby, go ahead and start."

Tabby conjurs up her white feathers and throws them at the store, then everyone else starts using their powers and Drake throws a bomb at it.

"Thanks Hon," Tabby calls.

-

"Leave go bitch, it's my sweater."

"I saw it first"

No, it wasnt a bunch of woman it was men. Plus there was violence, Tabby just started hitting people because she could.

"Hey those pants would fit my butt better."

"Give me that sweater, now!." Eric commanded almost pulling out a judge card but remembered not to.

Then he looked the person he was fighting with...

He saw it was the man in his dream.

"Oh my god!." Eric exclaimed, the man stopped and looked at him for a minute.

"Whats wrong," He asked.

"Its just that I saw you before," Eric replied, " Whats your name?"

"Seth," he replied.

Then seth reached for Erics hand, and time stood still (literally)

-

I dont own read or die cause if I did, Iwould own Joker for my own nefarious schemes (hehehahaha giggle)

:wips drool off of chin:

"Um read this chapter while I take care of um... something"

-

Joker appeared,"What are you doing and what happened?" Eric asked.

Seth looked confused, but wasnt frozen neither were tabby, nor drake, "Ahh I waas right, you seem to have found our next agent." He began," If he wasnt an agent, he would have been frozen with the rest of them."

"Well I'll be in contact with you tonight," and with that Joker was gone.

They were in the food court, "You mean you had a dream and you saw me too!" Eric was out of his shopping binge.

"Yeah it was so weird because I felt like I knew you as soon as I saw you in that store." Seth said as they shared a plate of fries.

Tabby and Drake were at the next table over, ready to throw close to nine-hundred needle point feathers at Seth if he so mauch as raised a hand at Eric. "You should calm down," Drake said downing his soda," I know that you sweeped his mind and I'm sure that Eric did too." He saidnot very concerned. " Plus he's an empath so hed know off the bat."

They retired back to Tabby's apartment, partly because Eric didn't want to go back (plus he bought enough clothes to live at Tabby's for a month), and Eric knew that Tabby wanted to keep an eye on Seth.

"So what do you do for a living," Tabby pried.

("hey be nice to him," Eric said," He's nice for now I would know."

"Yeah be nice, I trust his powers." Drake added

" I'm sorry but I just do't want him to be hurt is all." Tabby replied.)

Ring Ring

"Hello," Eric answered the phone, it was Joker.

"Tomarrow, you are to report to London to begin training for Seth." Joker stated.

"Ok," Eric replied," See you tomarrow."

They continued there converstion well into, well the night. Finally it was time for the end of the night, but Eric and Seth had connected. Plus Seth need to be with them to go to the LIbrary, so he stayed the night, with Eric hehehe what do think happened

-

I dont own Read or Die because if I did, I would be getting done with umm... somthing

A/n No Seth and Eric didnt do anything yet thats a lemon for another chapter.

-

Another authors note- I am totally over seth so hes getting written off.

-

They woke up got ready and flew to london A/n i did not say where they live because i dont know where they live right now, though we do know they dont live in London now dont we

They arrived at the library around noon, and entered the library.

"Watch out," an employee yelled.

-

I dont own Read or Die cause if I did, Tabby and I would be helping Jesse study for his entrence exam to enter the Library

"If you throw a pencil across the room and into a wall what do you get?" Eric asked with a smirk on his face.

"Umm two peices of candy?" Jesse replied.

"Wrong!." Tabby and Eric both replied, "You get a peice of pie."

"If you throw the the pie, what do you get," Tabby asked this time.

"A pencil?" Jesse asked.

"No," Eric laughed, " A very angry maid, who beats you with her magic laddle."

"How does this pretain to the Library," Jesse asked.

"It dosent," Eric replied," I was just bored."

-

A bookshelf was falling, and it landed on seth, dead instanly.

-

A/n quick huh? he made me that mad! grrr...

I dont own Read or Die because if I did we would actually be helping Jesse study for his exam.

"If you are chasing a person who has an overdue book, in the snow. How do you chase him," Eric asked, remembering the badepisode wendy had with the snowshoes, "A. fly after him, if applicable, B. chase with snow shoes,if applicable. C. Have drake do it, if your tabby, or if applicable. or D. shoot him.

"umm... D" Jesse stated, afraid of the response.

"Like no... you always have Tabby's boi toy do it, when you can. Or, unless your Wendy, chase him with snowshoes, you dont kill the opponante.

-

"No!" Yelled Eric.

"Don't worry." Came rom behind them, Seth had appeared behind them.

Tabby and Eric rushed over to make sure that Seth was all right, after picking themselves off the floor with Drakes help, of course.

"I'm fine stop worrying," Seth finally stopped them, after being checked over and being healed four times.

"I heard a disturbance." came Joker, on a floating book cart.

"A bookshelf just fell on Seth, thats all." Tabby said, a hint of sarcasim in her voice.

Joker looked a little happy, "that's Seths power, he can "blink", he can instantly be in one place from another in a seconds time."

"Also, Judgemaster, I am also sorry to hear you had a fight with Wolfsbane." Joker added, reminding Eric who looked a touch emotional as books started to fly across the room.

"Umm... Mr. Joker, where is The Wolfsbane?" Eric asked, actually respectfully.

"He...," Joker was looking for the words," is on a... mission." Eric instanly knew it was a lie and checked his thoughts, Rich was being detained in a holding cell, near where they sealed Wanda away.

"Why is Rich in a holding cell near Wanda," Eric asked, judge card in hand, and Tabby trying to keep the feathers from conjuring.

"He came in and became irrational, started to attack library staff." Joker simply stated.

"Seth," Eric stated more than asked, "Blink us to him." Seth seeing the look in Erics eyes complied without a seconds thought.

-

I do not own Read or Die, because if I did then i would own wendy and I would give her the power of being able to carry tea without falling.

-

Seth blinked the four of them down to the holding cell and two guards with giantguns approched them. Eric gave them one look, the guards turned to Tabby with looks of desperation knowing that trying to stop him would mean being suppspended in mid air by judge cards, and now get extreme paper cuts.

"Umm... Judgemaster," one guard spoke up, "Joker, umm.. gave us specific orders, and extra ones dealing with you three and the detainee."

Judgemaster just walked past them, "Sir.. you need a level five keycard to enter." the second guard called.

"Well," the Judgemaster replied," I have the card part right."

The Judgemaster pulled out a purple cards, "one of my favorites," he then threw it at the door of the cell, a big purple lightning bolt struck the door. The door stayed shut," Ahh... I love a challenge, Joker must have been studying ways to counter-act my judge cards."

"Eric," Tabby called, " may I?"

Eric nodded and Tabby conjure up close to thirty feathers and threw them at the door, but they just simply stuck there. The door had a holographic image of glass, but it was a thick see through metal alloy.

("Rich can you hear me," Eric asked, he got no respond.)

"Seth get Joker here, now!" Tabby sternly said, with her command he blinked away.

A few seconds later joker appeared, "will you leave go of me."

"Open this door." Tabby started, Eric had began throwing paper at the door and slashing with his claws and was out of mind.

"I am unable to," Joker simply stated, "he cant be trusted, he is dangerous."

"I wont let him," Eric simply replied, "we had a fight and he left, it was the only way he knew how to relese his anger, Now let him out!"

Joker saw the look in Judgemaster's eyes, he knew that he would fight till Rich was let out or Eric died. He knew the second one would not happpen easily, even if he managed that Tabby and Rich wouldn't kill Joker he knew that body racks and hot metals would be in his future. He also, though he would never admit it, kill himself first, trusted Eric's judgement, so he let Rich out of the cell.

" You hold full responsibility for his actions, Judgemaster." Joker simply stated.

Eric, ignoring Joker, ran over and kissed Rich and felt for any outstanding wounds, from fighting the guards. He began healing Rich, even though he didnt need it, it made him feel better.

"Dont worry," Rich said tightly holding Eric very close to him, "I'm sorry we fought, I'm was just afraid of getting married."

"It's all right, I was a little over-bearing," Eric tried to hold his emotions in, but it express itself in tears and flying paper hearts.

"I wasjust trying to plan the perfect wedding for the both of us, so that we could be happy forever." He finished.

"You know he just about killed me with trying to plan this," Tabby piped up.

Eric just basked in being held by Rich.

-

I dont own Read or Die because if I did, Seths powers would be real and I would have him blink him and myself to Riches house and we would go out dancing.

-

(The Next Day)

They all had returned to Tabby and Drake's appartment for the night, after a little argument on who drove Riches Motorcycle home ( "But I'm not allowed to drive yours" he said to Eric "But" Eric replied, "you were in a cell for close to two days, plus I wear the pants in this relationship.").

When they finally got home, Eric insisted on cooking. He had found a new japanese recipe, and he just had to. When he finished, he had Brown rice, fried eggs, differnt variaties of rice balls, and he found a recipe for Sake, he decide he was going to feed Rich.

"No." Rich argued.

"Yes."

("If your good, you'll get a reward later." Eric added as an extra incentive.)

"Okay," Rich gave, but he actually enjoyed himself because Eric was quite graceful with chopsticks.

"Lets Eat," Drake said aloud.

Then everyone heard the music to "Purple Rain", and surprisingly it was Riches cell, not Eric who loved Prince.

Rich answered it, "Hello, Hi Yomiko, hows the Honeymoon, oh you want to talk to Eric," he handed it to Eric.

"Hello," He answered, "What happened, ok well be there in two minutes."

"How," Yomiko asked.

"We met a new agent who can get us there soon enough." Eric replied.

He hung up, " Someone has captured Nancy and we have to go help."

Authors notes: yes I changed the amount of time getting ready, in real life i already take an hour, so when i am living on my own it will take longer.
