Authors Note: Yes, this is a Christmas/New Years special. I just was dying to write it….. YES, it is a sort of preview for another story. I love writing….

Thank you to all reviewers!

O my god, please don't flame because the first smex scene will be like thirty chapters from now!

Anyway, like I said they can't sex until they get out of the country and by that time both will be totally agreeing to it. Or maybe not :O there might be possible 'rape.' It's so not rape. Every one knows Ritsuka so wants it….

By the way, this special has absolutely NOTHING to do with the story!

Don't get confused! It is in present time! Thank you!

Ritsuka say at his computer desk typing rapidly. He had taken up writing in an online journal so that his therapist could have access to whatever posts he wanted her to, but other posts he could set as 'private.' Ritsuka liked the idea very much, and even Soubi had suggested it.

Christmas had just passed and the boy frowned as his world was going too fast. It was killing the small teenager, by dissipating his days quickly. He felt like he was sitting on the remote to his life and was accidentally pushing the 'Fast Forward' button.

The silence of his bedroom was killing him, and he quickly put a CD into the new stereo system he had received from his grand mother in America (1) who had recently started communication to him, via email.

She had un-mercilessly told every single known relative of his in America, and he had been sent an endless supply of gifts and Christmas Cards. Ritsuka didn't even know he had this many relatives in America, but he sent them all E-Cards with help from his Nana. (2) Yes, his American grandmother. (3)

He hadn't seen Soubi since last night, who had left around midnight last night, Christmas.

The older man hadn't seemed too pleased that the boy was getting as much unwanted attention as he was.

As the CD, 'Dying Is Your Latest Fashion' by 'Escape The Fate.' It was an American group, whose genre was mostly Screamo. His two favorites on the track were number nine and number eleven. Alright, so he loved all the tracks.

It had been his American cousin that had sent him the CD, and he had to say of all of his kin, she was the one to understand him the best. She was the first in his family that he told of his sexuality. He had only told her since he had checked out her blog and found that she was bisexual herself, and an extremist supporter of gay rights (4). He had called her a few times when he was lonely and he couldn't get a hold of Soubi. Her voice was musical, calming and she always seemed to understand. She sent him in the mail a few pictures of herself, and Ritsuka was amazed to find how different she was. One family picture of her family and herself had caused him the most reaction, her mother a redhead, her older sister the same, her younger sister light brown haired. The girl's father was almost as dark of a brunette as she, but her hair was so black it was almost blue. He was glad to be seeing her in person soon, as it was her dream to come to Japan, and as a return gift he had offered her a plane ticket and told her to come. (5)

He was excited that she had lost her ears and didn't even try to shield the factor, even though she was only in junior high. The girl was so much alike to him he thought of her as a twin.

He looked down at the cell phone Soubi had given him and flipped it open, intent on messaging the man. He didn't get to open the text box, as there was a sharp rap on his window. He flew out of his chair to see the man standing out in the cold as he waited for the teen to unlock the window.

"Soubi…" The almost silent whisper was enough to stop the older mans heart from beating as he removed his coat and scarf and returned to the boy, patiently waiting for his fighter. When the older man kissed him, Ritsuka realized he hadn't told Soubi about his cousin. He almost forgot as the older mans tongue slipped into his mouth, causing Ritsuka to shudder. As the man screamed about not falling asleep in the background, (6) Ritsuka was getting ready to pass out with anticipation.

After a short make out session, the boy said to the older man, "My American cousin is coming to stay with me for a while. Will you take me to the airport tomorrow to pick her up?"

"Of course I will." The two had managed to make it onto the bed, and Soubi seemed intent on spending the night tonight. Not to have sex, he assured Ritsuka, but just to hold the boy for comfort while he slept.

After turning the screaming men down low and putting the stereo onto 'Repeat CD,' the boy and man went to sleep. (7)

At the airport Ritsuka urgently looked for his cousin.

"Do you have a picture of her?" When Ritsuka handed over a colored picture of two girls in what seemed a store for those who loved complete and utter darkness. (8)

"The one with the black hair is her. The girl with the blue hair is her ex girlfriend.(9)" Ritsuka's answer was absentminded as he continued to search for the girl.

"Excuse me, Ritsuka?" The voice seemed all too familiar and Ritsuka squeaked as he turned and saw his cousin with her bag and her purse.

"Michelle?" The girl nodded, and Soubi reached for her bag.(10)

"May I take this for you?" His hand still extended, she shook her head.(11)

"No sweetie (12), but thank you. Are you Soubi?" Michelle looked up, noting how tall the man was.

"Yes."

"It's nice to meet you." She directed her next comment to Ritsuka though, "Would you mind if I used the restroom before we leave here?"

When Ritsuka nodded the girl smiled, showing vampiric fangs (13). It was then that Soubi actually took in her outfit. She was wearing knee length boots that brought her a foot from the ground, fishnet stockings, a plaid skirt with black panels that were unzipped showing her thighs, she had on a black top that had 'Fuck' in little silver cursive letters, a spiked wristband on her left arm, black jelly bracelets on her right arm, an assortment of rings, and a necklace of green diamonds, the ensemble only to be topped off by a dog collar with tags that inscribed 'Michelle'.

She reached into the pocket of her skirt and produced three cherry lollypops. (14)

"Do either of you want one?" She held out the candies and waited to be either taken up or turned down.

When both men and she all had sucker sticks protruding from their faces they started off, heading to the bathroom then to home.

Once at the residence of the young boy, she was ushered upstairs before she could have contact with her other relatives.

"You don't want to meet them yet…." Ritsuka's face showed anger at the thought of his mother bad-mouthing or even harming his Michelle. He thought of the girl as his twin sister. It was fine; Soubi said on their way home that the two looked like carbon copies of each other. (15)
