WE'RE NOT DEAD WE SWEAR!


Kelly's POV:

"So what are you planning anyway?" Kou asked me as we made our way to Azusa's room. I shrug my shoulders and smile to myself "Not sure just want to give him a hug and apologize for what Kanato did. He had no right to do it." Kou nodded to himself hands in his pockets "Neko-chan what about me? Subaru is always being mean to me when you aren't around."

I let out a small laugh. "Right and me being around can fix that? Yeah I can't control Subaru." He chuckled "I know that but I want my Neko-chan's hugs and kisses to feel better." Laughter escaped me. He couldn't possibly be serious. "Kou I think you are a big boy so you don't need kisses or hugs because you got your feelings hurt..." he gasped "What about Azusa! He's only a few months younger than me!"

Shrugging my shoulders I smiled to myself "Well Azusa is a lot more innocent minded than you. You want attention all the time while Azusa probably doesn't get enough. Plus the poor dear needs it. He was just physically attacked by Kanato! If Subaru had decided to attack you then I would have yelled at him and do the same thing but you are fine."

Kou had a cute little pout on his lips and it was hard to resist hugging him time to time but then I remembered back to what he was trying earlier in school. That little shit.

"Who said I was fine? I'm anything but fine." I snickered to myself at his comment "Anyway Azusa's room is there. Make sure you knock before entering. He does some crazy shit when he's alone." I nodded my head in understanding. "Thanks Kou." I leaned up and placed a soft kiss on his cheek "See you later." I called out a smile on my lips.

I knocked on Azusa's door before opening it. I didn't wait for him to say it was okay though. So what I saw was him slicing one of his knives into his delicate skin. "Kelly-chan?" I frowned softly "Hey Azusa," I closed the door behind me before skipping over to the cute boy sitting on his bed. "W-what are you doing here?" I gave a small giggle "Well I wanted to see you and make sure you're doing okay." He nodded his head.

"I'm okay." Shaking my head no. "That's not what I mean, mentally you might be, but physically? I don't know. Here let me get you some fresh gauze for that." I smiled at him walking over to the bathroom where fresh gauze and medical supplies were already out. "I guess you were already ahead of me." I forced a relaxed laugh out.

I hated that he cut himself. I really did. Oh my god, it hurt so much. But I know I can't change him or his ways. If I did then he wouldn't be Azusa. "You don't have to do this Kelly-chan, I'm used to doing this." I sent him a small glare. "I feel bad about earlier, let me do this okay?" He nodded a small smile on his lips. I bit my bottom lip, holding a towel against his wrists. "You have really soft skin." he said quietly.

"Huh? Oh thanks Azusa." I slowly pry the towel away. It was still bleeding, but not as bad. Next was the alcohol; I didn't want the wounds to get infected. I used some cotton balls I found and tried to clean the area as best as I could to prevent him pain. He stiffened, eyes wide, fist clenched and I swear I felt my heart was going to pop out of my chest. I was terrified "Sorry!" He faced me confused.

"Why are you sorry Kelly-chan?" I blush a bright red "I don't want to hurt you Azusa," I whispered softly. I really didn't. Taking the gauze I wrapped up his wrist "Can you make it a little tighter?" I nodded softly and wrap it tight. "Next." He reached his left arm over to me and the process continued again. "How do you know what to do?" I smile and think of my momma.

"My mom is a doctor and around Halloween time she would show me different ways to treat someone. One time for a costume my older sister was dressed as someone who got attacked by some monster and I had to make the bandages look authentic." he smiled "What kind of monster? Vampire? Werewolf? Raptor?" I froze in the seat and just crack up laughing.

I fell to the ground holding my gut laughing with him. "A r-raptor? Hahaha Azusa! No dinosaurs!" He laughed and shook his head fixing his sleeves to cover the bandages. "I wasn't sure what kind of monster it would be so I just figured maybe you were trying to do Jurassic Park."

"That is a good idea though! I might just steal that!" He smiled "Want to be my victim, Azusa?" His eyes were wide and a rather pink blush had spread over his cheeks. "Oh god, that was so dirty." I squeaked out, covering my mouth in embarrassment. "I-I'm okay with that." It was my turn to blush. Azusa was too innocent in my eyes. I felt like I'm going to corrupt him if I was around him too much.

"Do you think you are going to corrupt me Kelly-chan?" I looked away holding my face. "W-Well kind of I mean...eep!" He was in front of me in a matter of seconds. "It's a little late to corrupt me." I bit my bottom lip to keep quiet. "Kelly-chan do I scare you?" He sounded sad. I smiled and leaned forward, pulling him into a hug and holding him to my chest like I would with my puppy. "Nope! Oh you are too cute! You're gonna kill me somehow with the cuteness!" I sighed, petting his head. His arms were around my waist.

We sat there cuddling. Well, technically we were on the floor laying down. I was staring at the ceiling as my hands instinctively started to play with his hair. We were still cuddling and it was nice. "I'm sorry about Kanato earlier Azusa, he shouldn't have hurt you." He was quiet. "And I know that you like pain but...Kanato shouldn't have done it. It's not right."

He didn't speak "And I just don't want you to get hurt. I-I can't watch it happen. I just..." Damn it! I'm crying! Why the fuck am I crying?! "Kelly-chan are you crying?" I look away from him. I didn't want him to see me cry. Crying is a sense of weakness and I hated being weak. "N-No, I'm fine." I lied. "Kelly-chan is really worried about me isn't she?"

I nodded my head and rub my eye slightly brushing the tears away from the one side. "I've never really had anyone cry over me." I smiled softly and laughed, sitting up and staring at him "Well can you blame me? This amazingly sweet cutie pie just up and walks into my life and makes me feel so protective over him. I can't help it sometimes I guess I'm just a weirdo."

He laughed. He truly laughed. "It's your motherly instincts Kelly-chan," I smile to myself "Well I have a soft spot for kids. I love them, I hope I can be a mom one day. I mean, I think I would corrupt my kids but I wouldn't do anything to damage them. Back home, I babysit these two cutie pies, Mallory and Mark, and I love them to death. I miss them dearly. They would come up with random stuff. Like for instance, make me the monster in their games and if I caught them, the tickle monster would attack." He laughed softly.

"You a monster?" I smirked to myself "What can I say? I can make a pretty convincing monster at times. I hid in his closet once waiting for one of them to come in and scared the crap out of them, attacking them when they least expected it. I can be really quiet when I want to be." He nodded snuggling into my chest. "You would make a good mom Kelly-chan." I smiled at him "I'm glad you think so, but this girl isn't having kids for a long time." He nodded and kissed my neck sending shivers up my spine.

"Lets try to find the others. We don't want to be cooped up in here the entire time, now do we?" I nodded my head in agreement as he helped me up my face still rather red.

Victoria's POV:

I let out a little laugh as I watch Kou drag Kelly off, a big frown on his face. He wasn't very happy that Kelly was going to go check on Azusa, but too bad. He was allowed some affection every once in a while. "Hey." I jumped in surprise. I never usually got snuck up on, so this was different. I spun around and frowned up at Yuma. "Yuma!" I gasped. "Don't do that!" He blushed a little bit. "I'll do what I want," he frowned.

I rolled my eyes. "Oh? Go find Ruki, you say? We'll just pick up where we left of earlier then." Yuma's eyes widened. "Ruki's not home," he said, obviously lying. I raised an eyebrow. "Oh he's not? What do you suggest I do instead?" Yuma smirked at that, and I knew the answer that was coming. "Say me, and I'll say no." Yuma pouted, since he'd been both interrupted and rejected. "I thought you liked me." Aww, why'd he go and make that face? Instinctively I stepped forward and threw my arms around him. Which made me feel short. Since he's almost a foot taller than me. "I do! I'm just messing with you. It's surprisingly easy."

Yuma frowned. "Did you take care of the garden already?" I asked. "Yeah, before you and Kelly got here." "So...what do you wanna do?" Yuma blinked. "Me?" he asked, pointing at himself. "Yes you. Ruki had his turn earlier. You never get any attention." Yuma blushed, but smirked at the same time. He was so awkward. And the wiki called him a pervert. Pffffft. "Are you gonna give me some attention?" That made me blush. Hey, I was doing pretty good. Normally I'd be blushing like a fool. "If you want me to, I guess."

Yuma's smirk turned into a cocky grin. "Come on then. Follow me." I went along with him, following him to his room. We passed Ruki in the hallway, and he looked almost dejected before he looked away and passed us. Yuma shook his head, and it was obvious that he probably rolled his eyes. We eventually made it to what was probably Yuma's room, and he ushered me inside.

His room looked pretty plain, and was in natural shades of browns and greens. It suited him, really. He gestured to his big bed and I sat down on it. "So how do you feel about me?" My eyes went wide at his bluntness, and my cheeks turned red. "Um...well..." Then he blushed, sitting on the floor a couple of feet away. "Sorry to make you uncomfortable." I honestly had to sit and think. Remember how I said I liked tall guys? Well, Yuma is tall, and I like a lot of other things about him of course...but I'm not really feeling it. It's pretty similar to how I feel around Laito, although Yuma isn't nearly as much of a perv as I thought he would be.

"Brother." Yuma blinked. "Huh?" "I see you as kind of a little brother." Yuma seemed to have mixed feelings about that. Then he sighed, smiling up at me through his bangs. Normally, you'd think that was something sexy, but he honestly did look like a sweet little boy in that moment. "Alright. I'm fine with being a little brother." "Sorry..." I muttered. Yuma scowled at that. "Don't apologize." I bit my lip. "Is this what you wanted me for? To ask me that?" Yuma blushed again and nodded.

I smiled, standing up and walking over. I ruffled his hair, and he swatted at me, pouting. "Come on. It's probably around dinner time, let's go find the others," he grumbled. "Okay," I agreed.

Back to third

Yuma led Victoria to Azusa's room, where Kelly and Azusa were just leaving. They were holding hands, and it was adorable. "Hey, Victoria, how are you and Yuma doing?" Victoria smiled and stared up at Yuma who had a small frown on his face, although it disappeared when she looked at him. "Well, I got a new brother!" Kelly gasped softly looking up at Yuma. She cringed slightly 'Friend zoned. Ouch.'

"Well I can tell you this much Yuma, being friends with Victoria is a blast! You never know what will happen next!" He smiled and nodded. "So what did you two do?" Victoria asked as the four of them walked down the hall for dinner. "Talked really, Azusa thinks I'll be a good momma and I told him about Mark and Mallory." she giggled to herself. "If Kelly is going to be a mommy I'm going to be the daddy." Victoria jumped slightly, not expecting the sudden new voice.

Kelly groaned, slumping her shoulders annoyed "No! Not you. How long have you been listening in?!" He smirked "Not that long, just heard about you being a mom. But you know you want to. I know you do." Kelly rolled her blue eyes annoyed "If I did I would tell you. But lookie here! I didn't tell you!"

He let out a loud laugh shaking his head. "You know your mouth might say no, but your body is saying yes." Kelly gagged and Victoria giggled at the line (she'd read it several times in a game she played, and she found it amusing). "I'm out of here. I'm sleeping outside." Kelly said walking away "Why don't you sleep with me in my room? I could show you a good time." Kelly blushed a bright red "YOUR BROTHERS ARE IN THE ROOM! YOU DON"T TALK LIKE THAT!" she yelled smacking him with the first thing she found. It was a bible, ironically enough.

Victoria let out a laugh "What, and he can say it around me?" Kelly froze slightly "You are corrupted beyond compare." She smiled at her best friend before trying to save the poor pop star. "Stop hitting me with the book!" he demanded. Yuma smirked and shook his head, and Azusa did the same. "Then stop being a major pervert in front of everyone!" There was a heavy sigh, and the group looked over to see a slightly irritated Ruki.

"You all are going to be late for dinner if you keep stalling here in the hallway. And Kou..." Ruki just sighed and shook his head without finishing. Instead, he held out his hand, sending a pointed look at Victoria. She blushed, but stepped forward to take his hand."Come on, you four," Ruki said, leading the way to the dining room. Kelly saw Yuma pout, and she reached up to pat his shoulder. He frowned and swatted her hand away, earning a glare from Kou. "Be nice to Neko-chan," he hissed.

Azusa sighed, tugging on Kelly's hand to follow Ruki and Victoria. "Keep an eye on Kelly at the concert," Ruki murmured softly. Victoria glanced up. "Fangirls?" Ruki nodded. "I can't be there, since I have to go to school with Yuma and Azusa, so take care of yourself too." Victoria blushed, since he sounded at least concerned for her. Kelly overheard, and was fighting back squeals. She started poking Azusa in the arm. "Did you hear that?" she asked, squeaking slightly.

Azusa chuckled and nodded. "He really likes Victoria-chan." Having heard her name, but not the rest of the sentence, Victoria turned her head, pouting. "Don't talk about me, what did you say?" she whined. Kelly and Azusa shook their heads, grinning instead of responding, making Victoria pout even more. Ruki had heard, and he tugged her closer, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. Victoria stopped frowning instantly, and just started blushing. Of course, she didn't notice the fact that Ruki had blushed the slightest, tiniest bit at what Azusa said. He was just glad that Victoria didn't hear, since that would be embarrassing. Kou was grumbling behind them. "I wanna hold Neko-chan's hand..."

Yuma groaned. "Shut up, Kou." Kelly smirked and rested her head on Azusa's shoulder. Since they were the same height it was somewhat easy. Azusa didn't seem to mind. Kou pouted, jealous that Kelly wasn't giving him any attention. But a sudden smirk spread to his lips. He was going to be alone with Victoria and Kelly. He would pull Kelly on stage and introduce her to the world as his girlfriend. It was perfect.

And to prove to everyone that she was his he would kiss her. He was still dead-set on doing all of this. Yuma glanced down at him. "You're gonna do something stupid tomorrow, aren't you?" he asked quietly enough that only Kou could hear. Kou shot his taller brother a glare. "It's not stupid. She's my girlfriend, she should act like it, and people should recognize it." Yuma rolled his eyes, but didn't respond as they entered the dining room.

"Sit next to me Neko-chan!" Kou insisted. Kelly sighed, making a face at him. "Kou-" "Please," he begged, giving her a look that basically made him look like a puppy dog. With a face like that, Kelly couldn't resist. "Okay, fine. Just don't try anything." Kou grinned victoriously, but Yuma just shook his head, crossing his arms as Kou grabbed Kelly and dragged her to their seats. Their table was smaller than the Sakamakis' of course. There were two chairs on either side, and a chair at either end. So just enough seats for the brothers and the two girls. Ruki and Victoria sat on the other side, and Yuma and Azusa sat at the ends.

"Hope everyone likes pasta, it was Kou's turn to decide what we have for dinner." Victoria's and Kelly's eyes widen and a large smile spread to their lips. "Pasta?" Kelly asked. "Does my Neko-chan like it?" he asked excitedly. "We both do! Though Kelly can eat way more than me." Victoria explained. Kelly shrugged her shoulders not caring if everyone knew how much she ate it. "Well back home we don't get to have 'family dinners' so I'm usually buying my own food and it tends to be pasta so I've gotten to the point where I eat it a lot...well not as much since we've been with the Sakamakis." Kelly explained with a shrug.

A servant walked out and placed the dishes in front of everyone, next to Azusa was a little container of his favorite spice "What's that?" Kelly asked confused. Azusa looked up after pouring a large amount on his noodles. "Shichimi Togarashi, want some?" Kelly nodded her head and smiled "Sure why not." He passed her the container out of instinct Kou pushed his glass of water over to Kelly's. "You'll need it."

Kelly shrugged her shoulders before sprinkling just a tiny bit over her noodles. "Want to do it with me Victoria?" "No thanks, I'd prefer to keep my taste buds from melting." Kelly pouted. "Please?" "Nope." Kelly pouted but gave up, since Victoria was stubborn when she didn't want to do something. The group of boys watched as Kelly took a bite. Her eyes widen as the spice rips through her mouth. To her it felt like a fire was going off on her tongue or her tongue was melting, just like Victoria said. But oddly enough it had a nice flavor to it.

"Well?" Kelly coughed and took a very large gulp of her water letting an ice cube stay on her tongue as she smiled. "It's good, I like the flavor. It's a bit spicy for me but I will admit it is good." she said after her tongue cooled down. "What the?" Kou was amazed. "Well what can you expect? I'm used to it. My momma raised me to love spicy foods." Kelly giggled out.

"You like my spice Kelly-chan?" Azusa asked amazed. "Yup, it was yummy. I don't know how I could eat it on its own considering I would probably lose my tongue in the process but I give you credit man! You sure know how to enjoy the spicy side of life." His cheeks reddened slightly as he smiled at his dish.

"How do you like it without the spice Neko-chan?" Kelly smiled ate her food happily "I like it, you all have good favorite foods." Yuma coughed on his, his face red as he beat on his chest. "Yuma?" Victoria reached over and patted on his back, hoping he would be okay. "What do you mean we have good favorite foods?" he snapped at her. "Well...You like sugar cubes and pure sugar is amazing, Ruki likes soup which is always good, Kou likes Pasta which is amazing cause now I got a new pasta buddy, and Azusa brings the spice into the group." Kelly explained a large smile on her lips. It was quiet for a minute after that.

"So...you excited to see me tomorrow Neko-chan?" Kelly shrugged a small smirk on her lips. "Oh I haven't been to a lot of concerts, so you'll just have to surprise me." he smirked himself. "Oh you'll be surprised that's for sure Neko-chan." scrunching her eyebrows in confusion she glanced at Victoria who shrugged in response.

"Weirdo." she muttered before taking another bite. "Just out of curiosity what's it like at the Sakamaki place?" Ruki asked softly. "Well it's different." Victoria said with a shrug. "Yeah that's true, but be happy Laito doesn't always steal your clothes." Kelly huffed out. "What? So he does do that?" Azusa asked shocked.

"Yeah, last time he only left me this really weird dress where it has a corset instead of buttons or a zipper. And man do I hate dresses." She glared pointedly at Victoria who giggled in mock innocence. Kou laughed "Why do you hate dresses?" Kelly huffed "Don't get me started! I don't feel comfortable without my pants. My first day there, Laito stole my lucky pants! That stupid pervy fashionista." Victoria giggled. "Yeah but remember you would have just walked around in your underwear if he didn't steal those too. I wish you liked dresses, that way we could match and wear those dresses again! They were so cute!"

Kelly laughed "The only good part about it was that I looked like an old timey Harley Quinn," Victoria giggled "You looked pretty you know." Kelly shrugged. "Kelly-chan walks around naked?" Azusa whispered shocked. Kou was smirking at Kelly. Kelly felt embarrassed. Her face went red."Yes, yes she does. After a shower, she'll just walk around in a towel." Kou's eyes were sparkling at the idea, and Kelly blushed really hard as Azusa stared at her with wide eyes. "Neko-chan, are you gonna take a shower tonight~?" "Nope! Not anymore!" Kelly declared. Victoria laughed, and Ruki just sighed as he finished his pasta.

"Well we better get to sleep, we got to wake up pretty early so we get there on time." Kou said looking at the clock. "Right, uh...Victoria do you know where we'll be sleeping?" Victoria froze slightly "Erm...no." Kou grabbed Kelly and pulled her to his chest "I think I just got myself a roommate for the night." Kelly stiffened at his touch "No thank you. As nice as that could be I think the grass outside would be nice."

He scrunched his nose while Victoria giggled "But then you'll be covered in bugs Neko-chan, rooming with me won't be that bad. I'll make sure you enjoy it." She glanced at Ruki who had a small smirk on his lips now. "Uh Ruki?" He shook his head letting out a chuckle. Victoria tried to resist a shiver hearing his laugh, which only made him smirk more. "I have prepared the guest room for the both of you."

Kelly smiled brightly "I could kiss you! But I think Victoria can give it to you for me." Her face reddened as she glared at Kelly. "Won't you pretty please Neko-chan? Don't you love me? Because I love you and I don't think my poor heart could take it if you didn't do it." she was being dramatic again. Even going so far as to lean into Kou's chest patting where her heart would be.

"I hate you so much sometimes." Kelly giggled and leaped out of her seat and around the table to Victoria latching her arms around her best friend and planting a kiss on her cheek. "Love you too Neko-chan!" The guys just laughed at the two girls. Victoria pouted, rubbing her cheek.

"I will show you to your room ladies." Ruki said recovering first. "I'll join!" Kou grabbed Kelly's hand happily. "Oh uh..." she faced Azusa and gave him a small smile "Night Azusa! Can I has a hug?" He smiled and nodded his head. Ripping her hand free with some difficulty, she was able to give Azusa a hug goodnight and placed a kiss on his cheek happily.

"I want a hug too!" He laughed softly, hugging Victoria before pulling away "Is sugar lips over there going to give us a hug too?" Kelly asked giggling at the boy who was yet again eating sugar cubes, even though he'd just eaten a bunch of pasta. Victoria giggled at the nickname. He raised an eyebrow at Kelly and looked annoyed. "No." Kelly pouted dejected "Oh man and here I thought he was a sweetie. I mean he has to be right?" Victoria giggled and gave Yuma a hug. "Goodnight Yuma." He grunted but had a small blush on his cheeks.

Kelly felt bad for the guy. He liked Victoria and she only thought of him as a brother. But then again it does happen. And besides, Victoria was always the one who got friendzoned, not the friendzoner. "Anyway, to the bedroom." Kou grabbed Kelly's hand again and dragged her off with Ruki who had slipped his arm around Victoria's waist. "What happened with you and Kelly?" Yuma asked staring after their retreating forms.

"She doesn't like me cutting and was sad I got hurt so we talked and cuddled." He nodded "And what happened with you and Victoria?" Azusa spoke softly never removing his eyes from their retreating forms. "She thinks me of a brother." Azusa looked up at Yuma. "Sorry." He shrugged and ran his fingers through his hair "It's whatever." Looking down at Azusa he gave a small smirk "Come on lets clean up the table." He nodded and the two got to work since their servants left around dinnertime.

Back with the other group, Ruki had a small smile on his lips. Victoria chose him. He heard what Yuma said. Of course he felt bad for his brother but he couldn't help the small smile that spread to his lips. He was glad Victoria didn't ask about it either. He didn't want her to think he was a jerk.

"Here we are." He opened the door to show off the large room with one bed. "I hope you don't mind..." Kelly walked in amazed "Whoa! This is huge! This makes my room back home look like a broom closet! It's almost bigger than the one at the Sakamaki house, too!" Kou smirked walking in sitting on the bed as he watched Kelly walk around. "Well my room is down the hall if you'd like to check and see what mine's like." She laughed "Nah it'd probably make me think I live under the stairs."

Victoria squeaked holding in a laugh. Kelly was back on Harry Potter. She would return to it every now and then. "What?" Kelly shook her head "Nothing, forget about it." Victoria smiled at Ruki "We don't mind having to share a bed, it'll be like a sleepover." He nodded and smiled "See you when you wake up." he said awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck. He thought he would be smooth. No. He was nervous.

"Night." she called out.

Kelly yelped feeling Kou grab her by the wrist and pull her into a kiss. It was a soft kiss, not demanding, not horrible. It was nice. "If I can't hold you in my sleep then at least I can dream of your kiss." Kelly blushed a bright red. "Cheesy loser." she laughed out awkwardly. "You love it, you know you do." Kelly shrugged her shoulders, ignoring Victoria's giggles and grin. "Goodnight Kou." She said trying to push him out the door.

"Come on that was a lousy kiss can I have a redo? I'll leave if you let me." Victoria and Ruki watched them with amusement. "Go to sleep before I make you!" she snapped pushing him down the hall.

Kelly's Pov:

"So it's just a few more halls before we get to my room." I rolled my eyes and groaned when he wouldn't move! "God fatty, come on move your legs!" He gasped, extremely offended. "I am not fat I am only 121 pounds!" Kelly stopped pushing. "How the hell are you so damn skinny?!" I yelled shocked "I dance." Dancing. Really? "You'll see some of my sick moves at the concert." he said with a smirk looking down at me.

"Dancing sounds like way too much work." He shook his head spinning around "It's not! It's great! I love to dance. I love being able to just entertain..." he frowned looking down at me. "What?" He grabbed my hand "I need to talk to you alone." I looked around "We are alone." He smiled softly but I could see the sadness in his eyes. "I mean alone alone."

I nodded my head slowly watching him take me to what I'm guessing was his room.

It was big, that was for sure. He had posters up of different bands, models, maybe a sexy one here and there but it looked like a normal guy's bedroom. "I like you." I cocked my head confused "Why?" he shrugged "Because you're pretty, very sweet even when I annoy you, funny as hell, and you care about my family." I wasn't sure what to do.

"You said you knew about our pasts right?" I nodded my head slowly. "A little bit. I know you were in the sewers as a child and then you went to the orphanage." He shook his head and sighed "That's just part of my past." I sighed "Well I didn't study your history, so I'm sorry if I don't know every single part." He took my hands in his as he was just quiet.

This was odd. "Kou?" I whispered nervously. "Do you...do you hate me?" My eyes widened in shock as I stared at him. "No." There was no hesitation. Sure the guy annoyed me, but I couldn't hate him. He was a cutie pie and as much as I hated to admit it, I liked it when he held me or showed that he liked me. Victoria was right.

"Why do you always try to get away from me?" I slowly started to take my hands away and held my knees to my chest. "I...I'm sorry." I whispered looking away "I'm not sure, I...when you go off saying how we're a couple you act like there's nothing the matter. It's like you're always happy. I don't know how to act. Most of my relationships end in failure."

He scoffed. "It's true. Every guy I ever dated either cheated on me, turns gay, or just lies to me the entire time. Each time I get hurt. I don't want to get hurt. I've seen it happen too much in my family." He sighed. "Sorry..." he shrugged his shoulders "It's whatever." I look up and saw him looking at his shoes. I bit my bottom lip. "Don't get a big head over this." He raised an eyebrow confused as I leaned up placing my lips on his.

His arms encircled my waist tightly. He pulled me into his lap, my legs straddling his waist as we kissed. It started out as a soft kiss nothing too bad, but it changed. It changed fast. I was kissing him deeply, running my fingers though his soft blond hair as his hands ran up and down my back. I felt chills. It was a wonderful kiss.

I had to pull away for air. Gasping for breath, he didn't seem to mind. "I knew you liked me." I rolled my blue eyes at him "I said not to get a big head over this." He laughed. There's the laugh I liked. "What can I say? When my girl kisses me she has to do it and leave me breathless." I laughed. "Loser, I got to sleep." He shrugged his shoulders. "Eh come on, can I have a taste?" I blushed when I'm pinned on my back.

"Now where to bite that won't show... I know." I let out an eep trying to get away but now. He was going for my leg. "Relax Neko-chan, I'll make it feel nice." I blushed a bright red unable to move. His lips sent shivers up my spine as he clutched onto my leg. "Ready Neko-chan?" he purred against my skin. "K-Kou I d-don't really l-like this."

I felt really awkward right now. "Relax Neko-chan I won't hurt you." He kissed the skin again before biting my leg hard. I cringed in pain, feeling the skin break. I was biting my bottom lip clutching the sheets around me as he tickled my skin. I was having trouble not moaning. It felt good, yes. But did I want to make a sound? No. Not at all.

His hand started going a little higher up my thigh making me shoot up "Ah!" I laughed nervously pulling away from his confused look. Blood dribbled down his chin as he stared at me backing away "Heh well that was fun but I uh...bye!" I hopped off the bed and tried to make it out the door. "Not so fast Neko-chan, I wasn't done." I heard as my body was tossed back on his bed.

"You better be happy I even let you drink my blood pop star." I snapped annoyed. "You were enjoying it. I could smell your arousal. I still can." I blushed madly "W-well so? I-I always get that way w-when I get bit." I snapped looking away "Then I guess I should bite you more often eh Neko-chan?" I huffed "I need to go to sleep Kou." I yelped feeling him pin me down with one hand.

"Not until I'm done." I groaned annoyed as he held me in place drinking my blood. Even as I struggled to get free he would keep me pinned. I felt dizzy when he was done.

"All done Neko-chan! Now we can sleep." I sat up and glared at him "Jerk." He giggled "You liked it." I stood up and wobbled slightly "Maybe I had a bit too much." I wave him off and walk to the door only to fall flat on my face. "Whoopsie, I fell down." I started to laugh at myself. "Lets get you to bed missy." I felt Kou pick me up "Haha I'm sleepy." He chuckled and listened to me talk stupid.

"I know you are, that's why we're going to sleep!" I looked around and giggle "But we're in a hallway! I don't think hallways are comfortable to sleep in." He shook his head and walked me into my room I'm sharing with Victoria.

Victoria's POV:

The door was still hanging open, although I could still hear Kelly complaining about Kou as she shoved him down the hallway. I flopped down on the bed, where mine and Kelly's bags were. I opened mine, and immediately groaned. "What's wrong?" "I'm dumb. I'm really dumb. I forgot pajamas. How could I forget those?" I sighed. "Do you want to borrow something?" I looked over at him. "Can I?" I didn't really like to ever sleep in my clothes, so anything that could be pajamas was appreciated. Ruki walked over to a dresser and pulled it open before taking out a shirt and throwing it at me. It hit me in the face. "Pfft! Thanks, I wanted a shirt in my face," I grumbled, making him chuckle.

"Sorry." He didn't sound sorry. I sat there, holding the shirt in my lap as Ruki stood by the dresser. "Are you going to put it on?" "Not with you in here. I'll wait until you leave." Ruki smirked. "Shy?" I blushed hard, glaring. "Maybe..." He shook his head. "I'll step out, if you want to put it on now." I shrugged, but he stepped out and closed the door anyway. I paused for a minute, but then I changed quickly, folding up my clothes and setting them aside. The shirt was a long-sleeved, black, collared shirt with buttons up the front. I only undid the top few buttons so I could slip it on over my head like a nightgown. It was short, only going to my thighs.

After I put my clothes away, I walked over to open the door. My gut said Ruki was still there, and I was right. He was waiting just outside. He had been leaning against the wall, so when I opened the door, he stood up and looked down at me. He gave me a once-over, and his lips pulled into a smirk, making me blush and tug at the bottom of the shirt. "Don't look at me like a piece of meat, you weirdo," I mumbled nervously.

He raised an eyebrow. "Care to rephrase?" I snorted. "How would I rephrase that? I know what I said, and I meant it." Ruki just chuckled and shook his head, walking past me to the bed. "Hey, Kelly will probably be back soon." "No she won't. She and Kou are having a heart-to-heart. Sort of." I mouthed an "oh" before grinning. "They're so cute." Ruki chuckled. "So are you." I blushed, pouting as I walked over to sit next to him on the mattress. "Don't you do that." "Do what?" "Give me compliments like that. It's weird. I'm not used to stuff like that." "Do Ayato and Shu not compliment you?" "Um, they do sometimes...I think." "Well they should."

I blushed harder, if possible. "And if you say anything bad about yourself, I'll bite you and make it hurt," he said emotionlessly. My eyes widened. "What did you just say?" He smirked. "You heard me." I scowled, and he chuckled. "Don't be a pain in the ass." "Alright, I'll be a pain in the neck instead." Before I could say anything, he tugged the shirt collar away, and bit my shoulder. I let out a surprised squeak, but sat still until he was done. I let out an awkward giggle when he licked the bite clean, and then kissed it as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me onto his lap sideways.

I wrapped my arms around him, cuddling closer. I liked cuddling, even if he was a little cold. I seemed to be cuddling a lot recently, but that's fine with me. We already established that we were pretty much hoozies now, so who even gives a fuck anymore? "You good? That's the second time today?" Ruki nodded. "Thanks." "No problem," I yawned. He didn't take a whole lot, not nearly as much as the first time, but I was still sleepy. "You need to go to sleep. If you don't, you'll be too exhausted for the concert tomorrow." "Bullshit." He chuckled, removing an arm to grab my chin and tilt it up. His lips met mine, and I melted into the soft kiss almost automatically. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach, and I smiled against his lips, although I could feel a blush burning my cheeks.

It wasn't anything intense, it was just sweet and gentle, and it ended way way too soon. He pulled back just enough so that I could see into his gray eyes, and then gave my nose a quick peck before pulling back fully and fixing my shirt collar. "Get some sleep, I hear Kelly and Kou coming. Kelly sounds pretty out of it by the way. I'm sure you'll want to question her later." I gasped. "You bet I do!" I said loudly. Ruki snickered. "Good night," he said as he slid me off his lap and got up. "Good night, Ruki!" I called out as he got to the door. He turned and smiled before walking out. Soon after, Kelly and Kou showed up.

Back to third:

Kelly was stumbling, and Kou was half-dragging her into the room. She looked sleepy, and she was starting to giggle. Victoria cringed. Kou looked confused as he let Kelly flop onto the bed. "What?" he asked the brunette, ignoring the smell of blood and the fact that she was wearing one of Ruki's old shirts. "When she gets really tired, like really really tired, she starts giggling, and it's seriously one of the creepiest things ever." Kou snorted.

Kelly started laughing harder. Kou raised an eyebrow, and Kelly laughed at his expression. Letting out a sigh, Victoria got up. Kou smirked. "Well look at you," he snickered. Kelly gasped sitting up in the bed "You little hoosy!" She got into another fit of giggles holding her gut to the point of tears fell. "I see what you mean." Kou said, slightly disturbed, but a little amused. Victoria blushed, glaring at him as she tried to shove him out of the room, since he had looked over her "outfit" again. "Get out, you freaky perv!" she snapped.

"Yeah! Get that cute pervert out of here!" Kelly yelled before falling on the ground with another fit of giggles. "So you think I'm cute eh Neko-chan?" Victoria huffed and crossed her arms over her chest. "If you don't leave, this..." She motioned her arms to Kelly who was now rolling on the floor laughing. Literally. "Will get worse." Kelly opened her eyes to see a chair. She jumped in fright. "I got a chair!" she yelled, trying to imitate Markiplier, a.k.a. one of her favorite gamers on YouTube.

"Told you." Kou sighed and pouted "But I..." She pointed to the door. "OUT!" she snapped, finally getting him out and slamming the door shut. She turned back to Kelly. "Put your 'jammies on. It's time for bed."

Kelly nodded, heading for her bag chair still in hand "And leave the chair." Kelly let out a small whine wishing to keep her chair. Victoria crawled into bed as Kelly got into her pajamas and put her bag with Victoria's. "'Night Mil-nin," Victoria yawned. "'Nighty-night Mil-nin," Kelly answered as she got under the covers. When they slept in the same room, they tended to stay up talking for at least an hour, but for once, they fell asleep pretty quickly.


EARLY THE NEXT DAY


Kelly woke up and saw the setting sunshine flash in her eyes and a grumpy Yuma pulling the blinds back. "Hey kill the lights I'm still high here." Kelly snapped throwing the blankets over her head. Victoria ended up stealing most of the covers and her pillow but Kelly only needed the blanket. "It's time to get up." Kelly pouted "Nooo it's time to be asleep. The sky is saying goodnight which means it's time to sleep."

He ignored Kelly and walked over to Victoria "Be careful sugar lips. Victoria is more grouchy than me in the mornings." Kelly warned from under her blankets. "Quit calling me that." he snapped annoyed. "I will when you don't have sugar particles on your lips." he quickly rubbed at his lips getting rid of the sugar still residing on them. "Um Victoria?" Kelly shook her shoulder "What?" she snapped hatefully. opening one eye to glare in irriatation.

"Give Sugar Lips a kiss or get up." She groaned pulling at thin air. It seemed Yuma had moved away. "Agh!" she shot up pissed "Morning." he muttered softly "Hi Kelly-chan! Breakfast is ready." Kelly gave Azusa a smile "Be right there!" she called out with a small giggle. "Are you going to laugh like last night again? I could hear you from my room." Kelly huffed at him "I sure hope not." Victoria yawned stretching her arms above her head.

"Alright out Sugar Lips we need to change." Kelly said, smirking as Yuma fumed at the new nickname Kelly gave him. "You know he hates that name right?" Kelly smirked going into her bag pulling out a red t shirt. "Yep." Victoria let out another laugh shaking her head. "And you don't care at all do you?" Kelly giggled to herself "Not in the slightest." Victoria pulled a black T shirt over her head while Kelly shoved her blue jean shorts on. Victoria had a white skirt with some sandals while Kelly wore her sneakers. "Ready?"

"Not yet, I got to comb my hair out." Kelly nodded "Yeah and I got to get some makeup on. I look like a zombie about to attack."

Walking into the bathroom Kelly quickly did her makeup and was done by the time Victoria finished brushing her hair. "All ready!" The two girls walked down the halls trying to find the boys. After a couple wrong turns the girls made it to the dining area. "Took you long enough." Yuma said grouchy like. "Sorry Sugar Lips, girls take a while to get pretty in the...you get the idea!" Kelly said annoyed, that it wasn't morning.

"At least Kou isn't acting like a total diva at the moment." Ruki said, looking over at said pop star. "Excuse me! But I have to look amazing for my darling fans." Kelly rolled her eyes and sipped on some water. "I'm sorry I can't join you and Victoria-chan at the concert Kelly-chan." Azusa said softly. "It's okay Azusa, we know that you have school to worry about..." Kou nodded with Victoria "That and I was only able to score two tickets." The pop star put in his two cents. Victoria snorted, since that was total bullshit. He was a popstar. It was his concert. He could've gotten as many tickets as he wanted.

"So Kou you know you have to behave, right? You can't do anything foolish or we might not get to have these lovely ladies back at our home." Ruki commented sending a wink at Victoria who blushed a bright red and swatted at him in embarrassment.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." he waved it off as if it was nothing. "If anything happens I can just whack his ego back to size." Kelly pipped in a smile on her face. "I wouldn't recommend that." Ruki said shaking his head "Fangirls?" she asked cocking her head to the left. "Fangirls." Victoria confirmed for her. "Damn it's going to be like insulting Justin Bieber at a Justin Bieber concert with his many screaming crazed fans."

Victoria cocked her head confused. "What?" Kelly sighed and looked at her "Tumblr has corrupted my being. One girl had chopped off a girls braid for saying she didn't like Justin at school. She got suspended and didn't even care." Her eyes widened slightly. "Why in the hell would anyone do that? He's shitty." Kelly shrugged. "I dunno." "He's not even that good, he's just another stupid pop star." "Another?!" Kou whined, offended. Victoria chuckled, smirking evilly at him, and he pouted and looked away. Then his eyes widened, and he nearly choked.

"Shit! We're gonna be late, we've gotta go!" Kou yelped, getting up quickly and rushing off. "Wow, way to leave us behind!" Victoria complained after him. Then she and Kelly let out some sighs. "This is gonna be a long day, isn't it?" Kelly asked. "Yes," the three other brothers agreed quickly. Ruki leaned over and pecked Victoria on the cheek, making her blush. "Have a good day. We'll see you tomorrow, and I'll take your things to school and hand them off to Reiji." Victoria nodded, suddenly feeling awkward as she got up. Kelly leaped over and gave Azusa a big hug and kiss on the cheek. "Bye, Azusa!" she said. He giggled. "See you later, Kelly-chan." When both girls were up, they glanced at a dejected-looking Yuma and shared a look. Then they both went over and kissed him on the cheeks.

"Bye, Sugar Lips," they both said, giggling since they said it at the same time. Yuma sighed and pouted, blushing and crossing his arms over his chest. "Yeah, yeah, now go. Kou won't wait forever." The girls rolled their eyes and then hurried off to meet Kou. Thankfully, the big fancy car that they were apparently riding in hadn't left yet, and Kou was glaring from the open door. "Hurry up!" The girls speedwalked to the car and hopped in. Well, Kelly was pulled in, and she ended up sitting on Kou's lap. She blushed and tried to get free, but Kou just tightened his grip as Victoria got in beside them and closed the door with a knowing smirk. "Goddammit Kou! Let me go!" Kelly snapped.

"I'll never let you go, Neko-chan," he assured her with a chuckle. Victoria was grinning, her hands on her cheeks as she tried not to squeal. "It's official. This is my OTP. And I'm not letting it go." Kou looked confused, and Kelly pouted and crossed her arms. "OTP?" Kou asked. "One true pairing," Kelly elaborated grudgingly. Kou started to snuggle into Kelly's neck lovingly. "Don't bite me!" Kelly squeaked out trying to get away from the horny vampire.

"Hey it's my day if I want to bite you I will." Kelly growled "You want me to act like last night?" He pouted "No..." She smirked "Then don't bite me!" He pouted and grazed his fangs over her skin "But Neko-chan, I love your blood. It calls to me. It tastes so good."

Kelly was blushing a very large amount. "Damn it Kou! Stop being a pervert! Victoria is right there!" He chuckled "She doesn't care, do you Inu-chan?" Kelly glared at him hatefully. Kelly huffed, looking out the window and watching the sun disappear from sight. When it was completely dark we made it to the arena.

There were hundreds, maybe thousands of fans screaming, holding up poster boards saying 'I love you Kou!' or 'You're my hero!' there was this one guy holding a sign saying 'Marry Me Kou!' He smiled brightly staring at his adoring fans, although he shot a weird look at the guy wanting to marry him. Kelly laughed "You should totally date that guy." She commented Kou just rolled his eyes at Kelly and pulled her closer to him.

"Show time!" He pulled Kelly out by her waist as he got out, waving to his many fans. "Victoria! Help!" Kelly yelled as Kou started to pull her away even with her struggling. "I'm coming!" Victoria hopped out of the vehicle running to catch up to Kelly and Kou.

"Hey everyone!" he called out happily signing a few autographs before entering the building. "Mr. Mukami, you're on in a while. Please, if you will go to the make-up artist, and then approve your wardrobe." Kou faced Kelly and smiled "See you soon Neko-chan!" He kissed her quickly before running off. "Weirdo." she muttered walking with Victoria to their seats. Victoria glanced around, shrinking back from the looks of the angered fangirls around them as she and Kelly headed for their seats. Which were directly in the middle of the front row.

The first act started shortly after, and it was obvious that nobody really cared about them, since most of the people weren't paying attention to them. They were pretty good, in Victoria and Kelly's opinions, but when they went off...

"AAAAAH KOU I LOVE YOU!" "KOU! OVER HERE! LOOK AT ME!" and a mans voice crying out "I LOVE YOU KOU! MARRY ME!" along with various other shrieks and screams as Kou practically skipped onstage. Victoria made a face. She didn't go to concerts like this. And it was disgusting. When he started singing, Victoria and Kelly were glad that they were in the front, because if they weren't, they wouldn't be able to hear him over the idiotic screeching.

Kelly didn't know his songs. She wanted to know but she didn't. He left and came back in under a minute having his hair up in a pony tail kind of but he had short hair so it was just pulled back. "Oh this is Devils Spire." Victoria called out laughing slightly. It was the only one she knew. Many of the girls pushed forward to touch him. In the end Kelly and Victoria were pushed up against the stage feeling a bunch of teenagers jumping up and down and singing along.

He leaned down shaking their hands signed a few things before running off to do some weird dance moves. Kelly was making faces, and Victoria was trying to ignore his dancing. Dancing was kinda weird to watch sometimes...if you were being like Kou. He met Kelly's unimpressed gaze, and winked. Kelly rolled her eyes but you could clearly see a smile on her lips. In response, Kou started grinning like a dork, and Victoria started giggling like the girls who thought he winked at them. But she was giggling because her OTP WAS BECOMING A REAL THING.

Kelly laughed at Victoria having a laughing fit about to double over as tears spilled from her eyes. Wiping her eyes free of tears, she still had a large smile on her lips. "WHO WANTS TO COME ON STAGE?" he yelled panting slightly. Thousands of girls screamed in response. "WHAT WAS THAT? I'M SORRY I COULDN'T HEAR YOU!" The screaming went louder "Alright one of you lucky ladies...or gentlemen gets to come on stage!" Cheers of excitement "Now who to choose...?" He walked around the stage looking for someone until he stopped in front of Kelly and Victoria.

"You'll do." He kneeled down, extending his hand to Kelly. Her eyes widen as she tried to back away. Victoria lifted Kelly's hand and slapped it into his extended hand. Kou using his vampire strength he was able to hoist Kelly on stage easily. "How are you enjoying the show?" he asked, smiling at the blushing blonde "I-I..." He giggled "Aw how cute she's nervous." He held Kelly close to him, pulling her into a hug.

"Now everyone I'm sorry to say this but this lovely little thing is my girlfriend." There was a shout of boo's or cries as a thousand little hearts broke. "I AM NOT!" she screamed, her face horrified and her vision going in and out of focus. Victoria grinned. "KISS HER, KOU-CHAN!" Kou snickered at her, nodding before he leaned in to kiss Kelly.

However, Kelly wasn't having that, and she leaned back. She put a hand in his face and pushed him back. He pouted. "Aww, Neko-chan..." But before he could complain anymore, there were shrieks of outrage, and a swarm of fangirls attacked the stage. "Aw man!" Victoria whined. Suddenly her arm was grabbed and she was yanked up.

"Come on! Run!" Kou yelled, dragging them both off stage. They got to a back hallway, and he pushed them away. "Run, this is the rear entrance. When you get outside, keep going, and we'll pick you up later." He bit his lip, giving Kelly a guilty look. "I'm sorry, Kelly," he mumbled before he left at the urging of a bodyguard. Both girls were shocked, since he always called Kelly Neko-chan. But, they ran like he said to until they got outside.

"Hey! Look, it's Kou's girl!" someone yelled. "Aww shit!" Victoria yelled, grabbing Kelly's wrist and running. She hated to run, but the adrenaline was driving them both down the street. They took a bunch of turns to escape the fangirls, and eventually, unfortunately, they were lost, panting and out of breath.

"Do you think we're good?" Kelly asked. "Probably." Then Victoria groaned. "We don't have any way to contact Kou." Kelly sighed. "Now I feel bad." The girls sighed, and began wandering aimlessly down the street. However, a limo slowly pulled up to the curb. Victoria pushed Kelly closer to the empty buildings, since they also happened to be in a sketchy looking part of town. When the windows started rolling down, Victoria accidentally blurted out "Stranger danger!"

A laugh echoed out of the car. "Stranger danger?" Kelly stared at Victoria for a minute who had a small blush forming on her cheeks. "You are totally awesome." Kelly cracked up laughing doubling over clutching her ribs. "Oh shush you." Kelly calmed down and sighed happily "Okay I'm good." she sighed a smile on her lips. "Hey do you happen to know how to get back to..." A loud cry of angry fangirls could be heard in the distance. "Oh fuck me." Kelly groaned in annoyance.

"Need a ride?" The one spoke. "Uh?" Kelly glanced at Victoria "Get trampled and killed by a hoard of screaming fangirls or get a ride from a couple of strangers." she said more in a statement than a question. Victoria nodded with Kelly. "Yes please." The door to the limo opened and the Victoria hopped in, Kelly more dived in when she caught sight of some of the screaming mob.

The limo drove off as soon as the girls were safely in the vehicle. "Remind me to kill that fucking pop star." Kelly hissed out angrily. "He said he was sorry..." Kelly growled clenching her fists in anger. "I don't care. I'm going to murder his ass." There was a deep chuckle from the other side of the car. Kelly looked up shocked staring at the boys across from the two girls.

The first one they see is the strawberry blond boy with an eye patch over his left eye. His other eye was a sharp gold with a slit down the middle hiding behind a pair of teal glasses. Then the two girls looked at the other male. His hair was white with dark purple-brown fringes at the tips. Sharp golden eyes that make Kelly think of a snake, and a black scarf with some crest embroidered on it. The girls couldn't see his face since the scarf was wrapped around the bottom portion of his face.

Victoria was freaking out beside Kelly holding her hands over her mouth as she rocked slightly in her seat, squeaking in excitement. "What the hell are you doing?" Kelly had to ask totally confused. She was just dying beside her best friend. "Is your friend alright?" the white haired male asked. His voice was deep. Very deep. It made Kelly shiver slightly and her mouth to water.

"U-um she'll be fine. Just give her a minute or two. She might have to walk away and come back." Kelly said with a small nervous laugh. What was with her? She recognized them but couldn't remember their names for the life of her. She could understand why Victoria was screeching and squealing. "Kelly! Kelly, it's Carla and Shin!" Victoria screeched.

The boys stare at Victoria "How do you know our names?" Shin demanded. "Ooooh! That's who they are! I couldn't remember for the life of me!" Kelly said smacking her head laughing at her own idiocy. "How do you know us?" Carla asked this time, making Kelly shiver at his wonderfully deep voice. "You wouldn't believe us if we told you. We'll tell you later." Kelly said, smiling at the two handsome confused boys.

"Can you take us to the Sakamaki place? We can explain more there, and I'm sure you know them," Victoria said. The brothers shared a look, and Shin (the strawberry blonde, for those of you who don't know) smirked.

Hello everyone! It's been awhile, and we're sorry about that...really we are. Stuff and nonsense has been going on, and Kelly's moving and blah blah blah, so anyway...here you go.
