A/N: Once again an huge thanks to my beta Uchihasasukekun07.

Summery:Starts like the manga, but what if after Conri attempts suicide, he falls for Adrian's caring side. What if he didn't need Fay and Orpheus to bring him and Adrian together? So instead of master and pet, the only question is, can Adrian and Conri be equals?

Notes: "Denotes speech." 'Denotes inner thoughts.'

Rating: M just in case

Disclaimer: This wonderful manga is not in my possession, meaning I do not own it. *sniffle* but no money is made and I love the story anyway. It is probably better that I don't own it seeing as I cannot draw.

Chapter 10: I'm so Dead!

-Adrian's POV-

I sat there, listening to Ari drown on about the club. I was getting annoyed but then I heard my door slam. I then had a sudden wish to hide but I shoved it down. Watching as Faye came down the steps heading towards us. 'Oh shit, she looks pissed!' I thought as she made her way towards us. The blood drained from my face, as I remembered what Conri was wearing. She was going to kill me. I watched as she stormed towards Ari and me. I chanced a quick glance at Ari to see that he was staring at her. As she got closer my fear increased. Her eyes held pure anger. She glared at Ari, as she approached. It was like watching a storm. She barely stopped before she punched Ari in the jaw. I watched as he went down. It was just a simple punch, but it left him unconscious. There was also a red line where her thumb claw cut into his skin. It was almost fascinating to know that amount of power lived in that lithe body. Then her stormy eyes turned to me.

"What were you going to do with Conri?" she asked, her voice dangerously low.

"What do you mean?" I countered, my voice held a little waver as I stared into her eyes.

"Conri said you were going to take him to a club, my innocent Conri and in those clothes. I thought I could trust you." she said her voice dropping lower.

"I didn't buy them, I didn't even know that he had them until this morning." I said, trying to defend myself.

"I know, he did!" she said pointing to Ari, "but you were going to take him to a club in them, weren't you?"

"Yes." I said quietly.

"I knew Conri wouldn't lie to me, but I wish he did." She said.

I didn't have time to react before her fist connected with my face. It hurt, sure but as I was thrown off balance and my conscious slipping away, I realized that her claw had missed my face. As I hit the ground, I slipped into unconsciousness.

-Conri's POV-

I finished changing into my pants and a simple blue tee shirt. I slipped on my shoes and walked out of the house. I could hear it as a body hit the floor, it was quiet, but my hearing was really good. I quickly moved to the stairs and descended. I could hear Faye and Adrian talking, then after a few more seconds, as I rounded the last bend, I watched Faye punch Adrian in the face. He hit the ground with some force, but as I ran closer I didn't see any blood. Nor did I smell anything. I rounded on Faye and she was just staring at me. There was a slight gleam in her eye.

"If they put you in clothes like that again, this won't be the last time I hit them. Next time it will be more than once as well."

"Faye, I don't get why you are so angry!"

"That was not something you should be wearing. You are too young."

"Faye, you cannot decide what I can and cannot do!" I said. I was a little angry, 'She is treating me like I am a kitten again, I'm not a kitten anymore. How long would it be before she stopped treating me like one?'I thought. She smiled wickedly.

"Yes I can because I am older and trust me, it is safer for you this way." she said, turning and walking away.

Frowning I pushed Ari into his house and closed the door. Then I tried to lift Adrian off of the ground. He wasn't too heavy, but he wasn't really light either. So I slowly made my way back into our house. I called it our, but it was really his. I lay him down on his bed, before covering him up. Knowing Faye, he would be out for a while, so I lay down next to him. Curling up to him, I wanted so bad for him to wake up and tell me something anything, but he just lay there under my head. His breathing was even slow. I frowned before I let sleep take me.

-Adrian's POV-

I slowly opened my eyes to see a head of brown hair with two cat ears sticking out of it. Conri was laying on top of me. His tail once again was curled around my leg, winding higher. Then he shifted his weight and I knew we were going to have a problem if I didn't wake him up soon.

"Conri..." I called.

"What?" he mumbled.

"Time to wake up." I said.

"Why?"

"I don't know, but I need to get up."

"Okay." he said rolling over.

Sitting up I had to smile. He curled up with his hands by his face. It was really cute, so I leaned over and placed a quick kiss on his forehead, before I retreated to the bathroom. After I finished up, I walked out and found Conri just where I had left him. However he was staring at me, it was a little unnerving.

"Why did you kiss me?" he asked.

"I don't know, I wanted to,." I said.

"Oh, okay." he said getting up.

I watched as he moved around the room. He was moving slowly, like he was thinking. I left him to his musings because it was not something I really wanted to do. There were two options about what he was thinking about. Either he hated me and was mad that I kissed him, or he didn't mind and he was trying to think of what to tell me. Only one of those was good for me and I highly doubted that it was the one that he was thinking of.

I walked into the living room and turned on the TV. There was a news program on. Looking over at the clock I knew that there would not be anything else on. So I left it on and walked over to to my computer when something caught my attention.

"For those of you who are just tuning in, we wanted to say that the bill for 9life freedom had passed by a slim margin and they would start giving the 9lives more rights as they are integrated more into our life." the reporter was saying.

"Conri come in here!" I yelled. He was in here in a few seconds.

"What?" He asked me.

"Listen, they passed the bill!" I said excitedly.

"What bill?" he asked.

"The one about 9life freedom! You are a citizen now!" I said standing up.

"What? They actually passed the law..." Conri's voice trailed off, his eyes wide in astonishment.

"It seems so, the reporter said it would take a little while to get everything changed over, but this is a start."

"Yes it is." he said.

He leaned forward and kissed me.

"What was that for?"

"Because I wanted to."

I guess I would have to live with that for now because he felt something for me. So I smiled as he sauntered out of the living room.

-Conri's POV-

I walked out of the living room smiling. Something was finally going right and I could only hope that it would stay like that.

A/N: I hope that you all have enjoyed this story, but I do think that this will be a good place to leave it, with some good news and a hit at what is to come in the future. I hope that you like the story as much as I liked writing it.
