Q-Chan flies down and pulls on D's clothes. D groans and swats away Q-Chan, he was now awake. Reluctantly D gets to his feet. Amazingly he felt nothing, he just felt like a drone. Grabbing the contract he walks up front and sees Leon standing there. A pang of fear dashes through D's nerves. Taking a deep breathe he walks into the light.

"Hello Mr. Detective, how may I help you?"

"I just came to check on you, how are you holding up?" Leon asks.

"I'm fine, I sold a pet today." D states.

"Listen I'm sorry I left you several blocks from the pet shop. I was going to be late for work, and you know how I hate you to be late for work." Leon states.

"Yes, I know."

Leon touches D's shoulder. D twitches and looks away. He felt like running way from Leon.

"Can we forget what happened the other night, I'm sorry. Let the past be the past."

D swallows the lump in his throat. Leon would say sorry, then no sooner D did something he hated then they'd be back at square one. Leon pulls D to him and hugs him. D kept his arms down, he didn't feel like recognizing Leon's presence right now. He didn't feel like anything.

"I am sorry D."

"I know... I have to go find Tet-Chan." D pulls away from Leon.

"I'll go to counseling for my temper, please D, I'm sorry. I'll make it better I promise." Leon looks at D with puppy eyes.

D looks at Leon, maybe he ment this. Maybe things would get better. Hope risen in D, he didn't want to loose Leon. If he would just go to counseling everything would be okay. Leon moves to hug D again, this time D hugs him back. Everything would be fine once he got counseling. Leon brushes back D's hair and looks into D's eyes. He could tell how scared D was, but it didn't really effect him.

"Okay, I'll give you another chance." D agrees.

"I won't make you regret it."

Leon kisses D on the forehead and walks out of the Pet Shop. D watches Leon leave, tears come back in force. Mentally he kicks himself for taking Leon back, but his heart thanked him. Shaking with uncontrolled emotions D walks to the door and locks it shut behind Leon. Something makes D look towards the couch. There stood Tet-Chan glaring at him.

"I'm sorry for Leon, everything will be okay."

"Yeah right," Tet-Chan growls.

"He promised to go to counseling, what else do you want?" D asks sadly.

"I want him gone."

"I don't see what your problem is!" D shouts trying to hide the pain.

"Look at what he done to you D." Tet-Chan snaps.

"I... I deserved it. If I would be doing my job, and duty better Leon wouldn't be doing this." D counters.

"Oh, you know Leon would find another reason to beat you D!" Tet-Chan grew colder. "I seen this coming from the first day you met the bastard. He comes on so nice, so business like. It was all an act to get you D. Why can't you see that?!"

"Your just jealous that I found someone I love!" D shouts back. "Stop being such an asshole!"

Tet-Chan pulled back in shock. Leon never swore in his life, and now he did. To him no less.

"Tet-Chan I'm sorry I didn't mean that."

Tet-Chan and Yoru look at each other for a second longer then Tet-Chan turns away. D notices the heavy limp Tet-Chan had. He was hurt, hurt bad. D walks forward to care for Tet-Chan, but met his icy look and stopped. The worse thing that D could ever imagine just happened. He lost the trust, and respect of his most respected pet. All those words D didn't mean, he just spoke em out of pain. He didn't mean yell at Tet-Chan.

"I'm sorry Tet-Chan." D apologizes.

Tet-Chan shakes his head and limps away. D watches helplessly. He's made mistakes in his life, but this was one of his biggest. D collapses to the ground and stares at were he last saw Tet-Chan. This was one mistake that might never be forgiven. Slowly D was beginning to feel like a fool. Tomorrow will be different, Tet-Chan will realize that Leon wasn't as bad as he's been acting as of lately.

If you could see into tomorrow, what would you see? Would you make the same actions the night before? Maybe would have cause it would have saved him more trouble. D's medication made him sick to his stomach, and he needed to take it every four hours or the pain got to bad. The shop was opened on time, and a few costumers came in and out.

D bows to his costumer, a future contract signer D was certain. As the door closes Leon pushes in. D smiles to him, and walks to his couch. It was time to take more medicine. He notices how Leon made an ugly face as he opened the orange bottle. D pauses and looks at Leon.

"You don't need that anymore!" Leon shouts and bats it out of D's hands. "You make it look like broke your skull, not your nose."

D watches as the pills scatter across the floor. His eyes held horror, as fear forced his way forward. Leon picked up on this and his temper flew up. Leon raises his hand to slap D but then realizes how bad it would look with the bruises on his face if new ones showed up. D cowers back.

"I'm sorry Mr. Detective." D gasps.

"You want to give me to give you something to be scared of?" Leon shouts. "I try to be nice to you, and all you can do for thanks is to be scared of me?"

"Sorry."

Leon grabs a tea pot and tosses it against the wall. "You scared now?"

"Leon stop." D requests.

"Oh maybe you need this?" Leon tosses a cup against the wall. "Or this?" Leon tosses another cup.

"Please Leon stop, your scaring me." D cries.

"Stop crying like a woman!" Leon shouts.

D couldn't stop crying. Leon grabs D's arm and slams him down on the coffee table. With a heavy heart D knew what was coming next, Leon will pull out his belt and beat him silly. This time was different. Leon had a new tactic. D looks up in surprise and shifts to a more comfortable position.

"Lock up the shop." Leon orders.

D nods and nearly ran to lock the door. He didn't want Leon to blow his top again. Fear was his drug, and Leon was the source for the fear. Once the shop was locked D stood and faced Leon, wondering what next he wanted to do. Leon walks over to D and kisses him.

"I'm so sorry for my temper." Leon whispers.

D backs against the wall uncertain of what to say. Leon's hands work skillfully to undo D's claps, letting his cheongsam fall to the floor. Leon runs his finger down D's stomach. D flinches, but doesn't move. His mind was else were. Looking for escape. Forcing himself to look at Leon he wonders if Leon was trying to change.

"Give me a chance to make things better?"

Leon pulls D to him. D hugs him and rests his head on Leon's shoulder. This time he would forgive. D glances at the broken glass on the floor, something in his mind made him wonder. Leon pulls away from D suddenly. Leon pushes him to the floor. D couldn't bring himself to enjoy Leon.

A half an hour later Leon dresses, and leaves. D rolls over on the floor and stares at the ceiling. He felt nothing, not pain, not sorrow, not contentment, absolutely nothing. D stretches out his arm and feels a sharp pain in his hand.

Pulling it back he looks at a large shard of stray glass stuck in his hand. D takes his other hand and pulls it out. Mindlessly he stares at it. D notes casually how easy it would be just to end it all. Away from the pain and away from the suffering.

D presses the sharp blade to his wrist. One quick swipe and it'll be over.
