Jaga and Valerie had been tangled in that bed for hours, just sitting and talking, and sometimes when either of them was feeling a little brave, they'd do a little more. They swapped stories of their past lives away from each other as often as they swapped spit at this point; that was very often now. Tender embraces and saucy secrets were on the menu for this more than friendly sleepover, and the two almost lovers were about ready to take the almost out of the equation at this point.

"How was America?" Jaga asked, nibbling on her earlobe as his arms tightened around her waist, drawing her up against him. The blanket was over them, having been like that haphazardly once they had rolled, and the sheets were all tangled between them and intermingled. Her long and flawless legs had no problem in wrapping around his waist in a chokehold, making sure he stayed close to her body at all time. Skin against skin, heart against heart, they were breathing as one.

"Boring," Valerie purred, her fingers playing with Jaga's hair, eyes fluttered to a close. "All of the Americans were fat and pompous blowhards who were all talk and no bite. And don't even get me started on the traffic. Unbelievable." Her hands slid down his chest and unbuttoned the top few buttons of his shirt before pushing hard and managing to roll them over. She was now straddling him, smirking down at her little flustered Jaguar. The fiery Akuma looked stunned at her strength, eyes wide with shock, checks rosy on his skin with his hair all over the place and his hands above his head. Her palms glided across his chest, and she pressed her lips in gentle kisses along his jaw. "How about you be a good little kitty and tell me about what I've been missing at home?"

Jaga gulped, his hands flexing at her waist, playing with the little skirt that she had on, letting his own eyes close. "Not much that you've missed. Dad's still crazy, on killing sprees. The usual. He still likes Kyoya better."

"Strange, because I never thought Kyoya was better than you," Valerie spoke softly, her lips ghosting from his jaw to his neck, to his collarbones. "That boy was too stiff for his own good. No fun at all, nothing like you, kitty."

With calloused fingers, Jaga faintly touched the already bruising hickey that he'd supplied his short term guest with, "Well thanks doll, but your opinion is a little biased, don't you think?" He made a little squeak as the girl kissing him suddenly bit his sensitive neck lightly, and he blushed, rubbing the sore spot.

Valerie raised her head, giving a cheeky grin and her best 'guilty-as-charged' look, "What makes you say that, babe?" She asked innocently.

The boy rolled his eyes, shaking his head as he pushed her off of him and on to the bed space beside himself. There, his arms wrapped around her again, and he half pinned her, half hugged her, but all of it was intimate. His leg was between both of hers, his hands on her waist or whatever they could reach. He inched down the strap of her tank top to expose her shoulder and he fit his lips against the succulent skin there, "Tell me about this gang I had heard about you joining," Jaga prompted, gazing up at her with his venomous green eyes.

Valerie purred, tipping her head back, both of her hands gripping onto the back of his shirt and pressing him closer to herself. "Well, you know how I was sent of to my grandfather's to be in the family business? Newsflash, I sucked at the family business…" She paused, furrowing her brow and biting her lip as Jaga licked over a sensitive area next to her collarbone. Then she continued, "There was this local mob, nothing big. They were called like Saints or something like that. But there was a guy there, boss's son, wanted me to marry him. He was hot too, wouldn't have minded becoming a Saint for him."

Hearing his crush speak of another guy so freely made the young Akuma pause. He rested his chin on her shoulder, looking up at her now like a little kid getting told a bedtime story by an unfaithful aunt who tries to be hip and completely messes up the dialogue. "So, why aren't you married to him? Why come back and throw it in my face?"
Seeing a spark of jealousy in her lover, she gave a small smirk, her lethal little orange eyes watching him out of the corner, and she chuckled. Running her fingers though his hair, she forced him to look into her face. "Well, if only you'd let me finish darling. Pretty boy got shot making rounds for his daddy, and poof goes the marriage proposal. So look who's free on the table again?" Her eyebrows perked, and she put a hand on his chest, pushing him onto his side. Rolling onto her side as well, she moved closer, pulling the blanket up around them. Her cheeky little smirk reached his eyes, and his anger melted away.

He grumbled, "You better be available, little missy, I don't want to be kissing on a taken woman." His strong arms encircled her, and their legs slide together in the heat of the room.

Her gentle pink lips placed small lingering kisses all over his collarbone, and she made it clear that she wasn't going to be clear of it until the collarbone was scathed from the battle. "So what about you, good looking? Tell me about your love interests. Surely you've had some."

"Well, I have had one," Jaga gulped, averting her eyes on the sore subject.

Valerie raised her eyebrows are she continued her work, "Only one? How modest of you. Do tell."

Closing his eyes and turning his head the opposite direction, he released a slow sigh, "Haruhi Fujioka. I don't know what it was about her, but maybe it was the way that she didn't want me, or maybe it was the way she didn't care. She intrigued me more than anything. She's much like you in that area." He ran his hands down the red head's back, warming it lightly against the cool chill of the fan. "She has no interest in me, but boy she fascinated me. And I feel very bad about some of the things I had to do to her…"

Jaga's eyes opened as he felt the woman beside him move so that she could get a better look at him. Valerie's illuminating optics focused on the boy above her, and she asked softly, "Did you have any romantic or serious emotions about this girl?"

"Well… Not really. More lustful than loving, you could say," Jaga confessed.
"Do you still have those silly boy feelings that all of you silly little boys get?" Valerie asked, batting her lashes.
Jaga couldn't help but forfeit a small smile at that, "No ma'am."

The clever red head then smirked, "Good. Then I'm not worried about her at all." She moved up, giving the boy a small and soft kiss.

The kiss was gladly returned, and Jaga smiled, looking down at the girl in his arms as he opened his eyes.

Valerie's lips twisted up in a side smirk, and she looked up at him playfully, "Hmmm. That kinda reminded me of how we left the last time. Only back then, you didn't kiss me back, you little tease."

"Hey," Jaga challenged, "That's only because you didn't give me any time to react. What was I suppose to do? I was young and this hotter than hot girl was suddenly all up on me, kissing me. And then you were off again. I never had any chance!"

Grabbing the subtle curls at the nape of Jaga's neck, Valerie pressed their foreheads together, their noses sliding along each other, "Well now you do. And I suggest you take it."

Without hesitation, their lips collided in a much more passionate kiss than the previous one. Their bodies moved as one, flowing and being as one as they did so. His large hands moved down from her waist, going to grab onto her backside and to gently cup her thighs. But he didn't get that far.

Valerie pulled away, hitting his chest lightly with a knowing smirk, "Ah, ah, ah. Not so fast, naughty boy. There shall be none of that tonight." Sitting up, she turned off the lights, lying back down and rolling over so she faced away from him. Snuggling in with the blankets, she made a soft noise, "Goodnight. Oh, and if you try anything while I'm asleep, you'll have to take that up with Hakai."

As if on command, the inky jaguar moved from the foot of the bed, stretching out beside Valerie like a large teddy bear, green eyes ablaze in the night.

Jaga scoffed and rolled his eyes, scooting closer and wrapping his arms around the skinny waist of his lover, "Oh sure, like my pet is going to bite me."

As if to prove his point, Hakai hissed and snapped at Jaga's fingers, growling warningly, muzzle scrunched.
Jaga shook his head in disbelief, "I can't believe it. Betrayed by my own kitten. This is a sad day. It really is."

"Just shut up and lay down," Valerie chuckled, which was exactly what they did.

(A/N: And now we go off to Haruhi and Kaoru.)

It hadn't been long since that whole pregnancy sham went down, but for Kaoru and I, we chose to take the now available time and build on our relationship. We soon found that we had more in common than we first thought, and it was nice dating the mellow twin. The nice one. The safe one.

We were currently at a lovely park, resting under a cherry blossom tree. The scenery was beautiful: the bleeding sunset, the fallen cherry petals, the authentic Japanese bridges and small towns. A small stream snaked through the park and the little shopping center, and I couldn't help but think how pretty and quaint the town park seemed to be. Safe.

I was alone at the moment, stretching out my legs as I leaned my back against the trunk of the tree, watching out for my little orange haired twin as he bought us some ice cream from the local vendor. The thought of the idea was so normal. Another petal fell from the tree's limbs, and it seemed to whisper a word. Safe.

Shaking my head free of the petal, a cast a smile up in the direction of my twin as he sat down next to me. He gave me my ice cream cone and a napkin, wrapping his arm around me as he chatted about different things. He smiled. Safe.

That was the only downside to Kaoru. He was safe. He was the safe twin. I knew I could be happy with him, and that I could be with him. But Hikaru was the wild twin. He was unpredictable, and I liked that. Perhaps that was his Achilles' heel as well, but I was completely blind to the flaw. If this date had been with Hikaru instead, it would've gone differently.

We would've been walking around when all the sudden he disappears, leaving me under this beautiful tree. Then he'd surprise me with an ice cream cone. Knowing him, he would've only bought one so we'd have to share, opening up many new kissing opportunities. And he wouldn't have cared if the ice cream ended up dribbling down our arms, and we'd have to clean each other under the dying sun's super vision. And we would've made a mess, smearing ice cream on each other's faces and kissing each other with creamy white lips. And that was what made it fun. That he was not safe. Unpredictable. And I liked that.

I let out an internal sigh. And here was my flaw. Not being able to stop comparing Kaoru to Hikaru. I knew they were two completely different people, even an idiot could tell that, but I kept holding them to the same standards. And this was a flaw that was fatal.

Shaking my head to clear it, I set some new rules for myself. I must stop comparing them. They aren't the same, and shouldn't be judged as so. They deserve fair judgment. And secondly, I shouldn't even be thinking about Hikaru while I'm dating his brother. It's only the polite thing to do. That sounded like a remark that Hikaru would say… Oh… This one is going to be difficult. Thirdly, I should give Kaoru my undivided attention, and give him the same chance that I gave Hikaru when we were going out. This was kinda ironic seeing as I wasn't even listening to a word my boyfriend was saying.

I immediately tried to tune in, catching on in the middle of his sentence: "-and the vendor was so nice. Gave me this half off just because I said it was for my beautiful girlfriend. Can you believe that?" Kaoru asked, smiling gently at me.

Nodding, I put on a half baked smile as I tried to jump into conversation, "Yeah, that's insane. He must've thought I was pretty gorgeous."

"Well you are," Kaoru said gently, pressing his palm against my cheek.
I leaned into his hand, the corners of my mouth lifting, "Thank you, love."

A voice in the back of head popped up like a red flag, Hand on the cheek. Safe. Hikaru would've kissed me. As much as I tried to push this sixth sense out of my head, there it remained, and that's where it would stay until it could be properly dealt with a.k.a never.

Kaoru was watching me, the smile remaining on his face, but the light in his eyes slowly faded. He stood up and reached out for my hand. "Come on. Let's take a walk on the bridge."

Blinking, I slowly nodded, sliding my palm into his and we were off to the bridge. That's when Kaoru began talking, "I can see it in your eyes. Ever since you broke up with Hikaru, you've been missing him terribly, haven't you?"

I sucked in a breath, not expecting that. I shouldn't have been surprised. Kaoru was good at reading people just like I had grown to be. Slowly, I let myself nod bashfully.

"That's what I thought. And that's fine. I went into this relationship knowing that you would still be addicted to him. Hikaru is the one that all of the girls like anyway," Kaoru just gave that same smile, eyes closed, as if he'd been through this a thousand times, and the thought made my heart ache.
I began to ramble, trying to explain myself, "No, no, Kaoru, it's nothing that you've ever done, or anything wrong with you, I swear-"

And that's when I felt a soft pair of lips join with mine, and I blinked, astonished to find that I was being kissed. Kaoru put his hands on my cheeks, holding me there as he gave me such a shockingly gentle kiss at such an odd time. Slowly, Kaoru pulled away from me, stroking my cheeks with his thumbs. He gave me that same heartbreaking smile, and I wasn't sure which heart it was breaking more, mine or his.

"I love you," Kaoru said softly. "But let's go find Hikaru."

And before I could register, everything went black.

(A/N: So that's the end of this chapter.

MORE IS TO COME.

SOON

My goal is to finish Twin Devils by the time the week is over. I think we can do it.

I believe in us.)
