Hello again my fellow mortals. Five more days left. Damn it's too little time. At least I've got no school on Friday and lots of free periods to write. That way, there should be nicely developed chapters for you guys. Aright! I would dedicate this chapter to my wonderful reviewers except I don't know who they are. I was rather disappointed with the reviews for my prologue. (;_;) Only three. But I guess that's to be expected. Oh well, I can remedy that by reposting the last chapter until I received enough reviews.
Unfortunately, yesterday's chapter left me tired. I've never written a chapt3er that had over 5000 words. It took me almost the entire day but that was mainly because I ended up reading more fan fiction and spoke to my b/f. A rather intriguing fellow. Reminds me of Hiiro sometimes.*snaps out of daze* Sorry about the sidetrack. Back to the topic at hand, I am mentally exhausted from the chapter and school. I have to prepare for final exams plus Christmas and I have a ton of homework. I honestly believe that school was created by a sadist who loved to torture children and managed to fool the adults into thinking it was good. The bastards probably used subliminal messaging. I mean, we will be adults and there's no way you would send your kid to that place to go through the same torture as you unless you were influenced by something other than your own brainpower.
And there I go getting sidetracked again. * looks fearfully at pitchfork and torch wielding readers* I promise I won't do it again. I'll get straight to my point now and give you the fic soon after. This chapter is not going to be long. So to make up for that, I will be posting two chapters tomorrow. Happy now? Now for what you've been impatiently waiting for. *drum rolls in background* Here's another chapter in An Unlikely Bond!!!!!!!
An Unlikely Bond

Chapter Two
Tsuki...
"You braided baka!! Stop that. You've already gone and gotten us lost." growled Wufei, the Dragon Prince of the Fire Dragon ichizoku (clan) that was found only on the planet Kasei. He was oriental in appearance and had the traditional onyx eyes and the black hair which was pulled back in a painfully looking short tight ponytail. He was shorter than the shadow demon he was currently annoyed with and taller than his intended mate who was the Oojo no Kasei, Serenity's best friend Rei.
"But Wu-man, it's not my fault!!" whined Duo, one of the strongest shadow demons alive who was the musuko of Shinigami himself. "That babe of yours knows this place better than we do. Why doesn't she show us the way?"
"Because the damn tight assed fool I'm engaged to refuses to 'take help from an onna' to quote his words!!" Rei responded angrily. Her violet eyes sparked with rage and hair purple tinted hair began to shift as if a wind were present, which one was not. Her slim form was encased in a pair of loose black tunics and a kimono styled white top. (think her at the temple, I don't know the name for sure)
Duo burst out laughing at her words. Wufei turned red, not in anger, but in embarrassment.
"Wu-man...chuckle...just...choke...got...laugh...told off...deep belly laugh...by a girl!!" Duo's loud laughter rang through the air and he was currently unaware of the danger his braid was in.
A vain throbbed mightily in Wufei's temple. Rei saw this but did nothing to soothe him. She happened to be very short tempered and the braided baka had gotten on her nerves one time too many. Even Minako, Oojo no Kensei, or Serenity annoyed her as often as Duo had managed.
"KAAAAAAAAGE!!!!!!!!! I'm going to chop off that braid of yours and use it to put a silence curse on you!!" shouted an irate Wufei right before he grabbed his katana and gave chase.
Duo released a loud yelp and ran for the life of his braid. He wished Hiiro was there to save him. No matter how many times he teased and taunted the vampyre, he had always protected him from Wufei. Now, he was on his own. Boy did he wish he could have found his brother sooner. No one except Hiiro knew that they were really brothers and Hiiro's real name was Kuroi. He wondered how his father managed to have so many bastard children running around.
Triton watched in amused silence as his two comrades did their normal cat and mouse chase. A few hours of peace with the both of them present was an impossibility. As luck would have it, and Triton had a hard time believing it, their little chase actually led them to Hiiro. To everyone's surprise, most especially Rei for she had never seen her friend fight, he was deep in a spar with a silver haired tenshi.
Duo halted suddenly causing Wufei, who was close on his tail, to crash into him. This sent the poor bakemono (demon) into the middle of the fight and Wufei's fondest wish almost came true. Serenity was millimeters away from ending the long life of Duo's precious itooshi when Hiiro stopped her.
'Sere-chan, stop!! That's who I was waiting for. Kami-sama, onna, you're more bloodthirsty than I am sometimes,' Hiiro teased.
Duo breathed a sigh of relief as he sensed that the danger to his braid had passed. Wufei and Rei held back their growls of annoyance although Wufei could be heard muttering, "Injustice!" under his breath.
Duo jumped to a standing position and hugged Hiiro affectionately. He then turned his wandering eye to Serenity.
"Hey there honey. You must be a tenshi because you're too gorgeous to be mortal and too innocent to be a megami." Duo said with a 100 watt smile that had never failed to make the ladies swoon. Too bad he did not know that this lady was immune.
"You should take some lessens from your friend on pickup lines, cause if that was your best, then you need to start back from scratch." Serenity said with a smirk of superiority.
"Serenity!! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with your fiancé and doko kuso did you learn to fight like that. The display of skill she had seen from her friend had both pleased and startled her. She seemed so serene and peace loving that she would never lift a hand to fight. The training her mother had provided for her had only strengthened the image of total pacifism.
Serenity turned red in guilt as she switched her attention to her friend. Raising her hand to scratch the back of her head, (picture Goku) she lowered her eyes and gazed allover, refraining from total commitment that eye contact signified.
"Umm...well...you see, well, uh...Hiiro-chan over here decided to help me with my skills and he was just such a great teacher that I can kick ass." Serenity stammered.
"So you're the yawaii onna that my mate has to protect," began Wufei but he was then rudely interrupted by Duo who opened his huge mouth and put his foot in.
"Hey Hii-man! Don't tell me that this is the babe you've been blabbing about. Some brother you are, keeping such a fine specimen to yourself. Don't you worry your turn will come." blurted Duo.
Hiiro was furious with Duo. The others did not need to know about our relationship and he was mentally putting a post stick note on the message board in his head.
'Note to self: kill Duo as soon as possible to save future torture.'
Alas, the silence that was from ignorance was no more. Duo's words had ensured that. Then a buzz of voices broke out, each with their own questions. Hiiro had no idea how to answer them because in first place, he was not supposed to be there. Serenity was so much better at handling those questions and twisted interviews.
Hiiro stood there with a maniacal blood red glint in his eye. Everyone was was in shock and now he had to answer unwanted questions about things he did not wish to know. They all looked at him with a certain amount of expectation, looks that seemed to scream 'Well then, hurry up already!!!' He waited for them to become silent before he confirmed Duo's statement.
"Hai."
At those words, chaos spread and Serenity felt her second pang of betrayal.
'Did you sense the evil coming off of the bitch?' asked Luna.
'Yessss. It's as if she is pure full-blooded bitch but somehow the Queen did not sense them.! And did you see her checking me out? I got goose bumps right then and there.' Artemis answered indignantly.
'Oh shut up and listen.' scolded Luna. 'He's coming this way so Serenity should not be so hard to find.'
(Just to show you how tired I am, my eyes are after all the typing I've done.)
'Whose fault is it that wanted to spy on Endymion.' asked a disgruntled Artemis. Luna had the decency to blush at his words. ( well we all know who the guilty party is now)
'Artemis, just play along!' scolded Luna once more.
After they had separated from the main group, they had reverted to their feline forms so that Luna could spy on the guests with the help of Artemis. Now they were stealthily moving down the hall to the area where Endymion's quarter's were to have been located. Hearing the voices of both Beryl and Endymion, the cats sensed the concentrated negative energy that was being given off.
'This is not good.' stated Luna.
Wondering how how she always managed to make such corny totally obvious statements flow was a mystery no one understood.
'That, Luna dearest, was the understatement of the year.' Artemis told her. Luna glowered at him as if by just looking at him she could kill him.
Due to their inattention, Beryl deserted Endymion's room unnoticed until she was almost on top of them. Eying them suspiciously, they were held at eye level by the scruff of their necks. Beryl then did something unexpected by the cowering cats. She sniffed them. For some reason, this brought more fear into their hearts and Artemis fainted dead-away. Luna looked at him in disgust and tried her best to break free of the ties binding her; or more graphically put, she was clawing at Beryl's hands and drawing blood at that.
Beryl released a scream of rage and she flung Luna against the wall in the corner of the corridor. Luna hit her head and fell unconscious. Artemis soon joined her on the floor where Beryl had placed them in the hopes of killing the fucking creatures that she absolutely detested. That was because cats saw her for what she truly was.
Endymion, upon hearing Beryl's scream of rage, rushed out of his room, half dressed with only a pair of pants on and ready to fight. Instead of finding his mistress under attack, he saw her about to terminate two cats. His mind ran through the possibilities of how handy the felines would be to him if they were kept alive.
"Don't bother with them, Queen Beryl. Selenity has explained to me the problems she is having with her daughter. If I can charm her into marrying me in a marriage that bestows upon the husband a dowry, then we'll be scot free. Until then, well they just had to wait." Endymion said persuasively.
"I see nothing that a cat can do to further your campaign for the Princesses' heart," snarled Beryl. She was itching for a fight. All the pure energy was getting to her head which had only felt nega-energy flowing through it untainted for years.
"Whatever. Just give me the damn beasts and go back to what you were going. I was not sure where my destination will take me but now I know." Endymion demanded. Beryl unconsciously carried out his demands, not conscious of what her submissive actions must be implying. Endymion had an evil smirk on his face as he envisioned himself as the President of the World, supreme ruler extraordinaire.
Pulling the now conscious cats from Beryl's insanely strong grasp. Luna and Artemis hung limply from his hand and prayed that their torment would be some end. Luna had wanted to spy, and as a result of that, they would have first class foundation on how to start your own army of obedient minions. Endymion entered his opulently decorated room and threw the two cats on the bed. Checking to make sure that they were both knocked out, he finished undressing and went for his bath, leaving a very much alert Luna behind.
I'll end here for now. I'm too tired to go on. I put the planetary names in japanese so use common sense to figure what is what. Also, I had something saying that Duo was the son of Shinigami. That's all for now folks so I'll be leaving you to go get my beauty sleep. School tomorrow. And no, I haven't forgotten the two chapters I promised. I'm not that evil. I just hope this chapter makes sense. Toodles.
Ja ne.
