Author's Notes: Ok. So by now most of you are going "whaaaat!!!" and are probably pretty much hating my guts or are so in to this story you just can't get enough of it. Unfortunately, my duties as a final semester student are taking much of my time and I do apollogize for any delay in story. Further, the web page is done, complete. Find it at
Thanks for reading!

Chapter 10
(already!)
As soon as Ryo yelled "I'm in the bedroom!" Carol springed to meet him, jumping on top of the bed and looking almost childish, with a wide smile on her lips and this frantic look she just couldn't control (in fact, if she had a tail, she would be wagging it right about now). Ryo blinked once or twice, surprised and amused at the actions taking place as Bikky came in and just leaned against the door way, crossing his arms and expecting to hear anything but good things.
"Sooo?" Carol asked, giggling and waving her hands to intice Ryo to 'spill it'.
"So – what?" Ryo asked, almost inocently.
"How was it?"
"What?" Ryo was now playign dumb, enjoying every second of Carol's anxiety.
"The date, you moron! How was the date?!"
"Oh – that…" Ryo smiled silly as he turned to hang the clothes he'd just taken in from the laundry downstairs.
"Wait, wait… 'that'? What do you mean, 'that'?! Wasn't it good? Did he do something? (gasp!) did you do something and ruin the last chance you have at true happiness – (blush) and did I just said that out loud?"
"Yes you did, and thank you for the vote of confidence… But no – it was fine. It was great! We went to dinner…"
"He paid, you paid, you went german?" she interrupted like a little girl who is anxious to get to the part where the princess kisses the prince and the happely ever after ending.
"The word is Dutch, and no; he paid for everything."
"Oooh! A gentleman! See?" she turned to tease Bikky, "You could take classes from him, you caveman!" and Bikky just puffed.
"Anyway. We ended-up going to this place called 'Moonlight Beach'…" (Rainy's notes: Yes! Like that beach in Encinitas, California!! ^.^)
"I know the place! Bikky and I went there last week, didn't we?" she turned to Bikky again, who nodded, "Aaaand?"
"We talked… and danced…" Ryo started to mutter.
"And make kissy-face?"
"… (blush – blush)… yes…"
"HOW CUTE!!" she clapped and jumped up and down, "Did you use a lil' tongue?!"
"CAROL!" Bikky scolded her while Ryo went all red ("Well, actually –"), "I'm sure Ryo doesn't wanna tell you the morbid details!! (besides, it's not as if I'd want to know!)"
"(But I do…)"
"It was good," Ryo spoke in slow words, remembering all that had happened the night before, right at the apartment door and smiling timidly every once and a while, "He sure knows how to kiss, I'll tell you that…"
"Aaaand? Did he stay?" a very miscevious smile crossed Carol's face.
"No, he didn't."
"It's their first date, for crying out loud!" Bikky said, waving his arms and hands in the air in a very comic way, "What you think Ryo is? A slut who sleeps around on the first date!?"
(hey now…)
"Gee… thanks…" Ryo looked hurt.
"Are you two going to date again?" Carol asked, looking excited.
"Yes. Actually, today. He's coming to dinner," Ryo blushed sweetly and looked excited at the very thought of having someone over for dinner.
"Hummm… The blushing, the excitement, the anxiety, the sappy puppy face you make every time you remember the kissy-face… yup! He's a keeper!" Carol blinked at Bikky, who sighed accepting fate as it was coming. Ryo laughed softly.
"Fine!" Bikky said, not looking very happy but recognizing that this was not about him, "As long as he makes Ryo happy!"
Ryo thought about that for a second. Was he happy? He hadn't been this excited since the first time him and Dee went out on vacation together, in London, back when he met Berkeley. He was excited back then, even though he didn't want to admit it. He was excited when he and Dee moved in together; he was excited the first time they made love… ok, that was more horniness than excitement, but you get the idea. He hand't really though about the feeling that was starting to grow inside, rapidly, yes, but still it was growing. The very thought of Gaiev made him feel all fuzzy inside, like a child who is waiting for candy…
Was Gaiev making him happy?
And Ryo couldn't wait to dinner.
He stood by the window, looking at the black sky painted by the pretty city lights that just seem to make everything nicer than it was under them. His eyes reflected disappointment, a certain degree of sadness even, as it was already 11:30 p.m. and no sight of Gaiev. What's the standard time to be considered "stood up"? One, two, three hours? He didn't know exactly. He'd never been in this situation before. Well, maybe once in high-school, when Mindy Carter made him wait about three hours at the entrance of the movie theatre and then came up with this story about breaking her leg when she was taking a shower next day when he called her, expecting something better than this lame-o excuse that he even though he could come up with something better, but then when he saw her Monday morning at school with the cask over her leg he felt really guilty about it and ended-up being her personal nurse for the rest of the week, only to end-up hating her because she became so bossy and bitchy, and started treating him like a slave – out of the story! He decided to blow off the candles at the table (not that they weren't already out by this time, but he couldn't think of anything else to do with himself other than to release his own sexual tension all by himself at the though of some kind of kinky situation, and he really wasn't in the mood to do that right now)
Ryo sighed and though of a million reasons not to continue with this. Yet, he thought of a million and one reasons why he should…
… Gaiev made him happy…
Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light
Of the moon
Come to my window
I'll be home soon
I would dial the numbers
Just to listen to your breath
I would stand inside my hell
And hold the hand of death
You don't know how far I'd go
To ease this precious ache
You don't know how much I'd give
Or how much I can take
Just to reach you
Just to reach you
Just to reach you
Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light
Of the moon
Come to my window
I'll be home soon
Keeping my eyes open
I cannot afford to sleep
Giving away promises
I know that I can't keep
Nothing fills the blackness
That has seeped into my chest
I need you in my blood
I am forsaking all the rest
Just to reach you
Just to reach you
Oh to reach you
Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light
Of the moon
Come to my window
I'll be home soon
I don't care what they think
I don't care what they say
What do they know about this
Love anyway
Come to my window
Crawl inside, wait by the light
Of the moon
Come to my window
I'll be home soon

Alexeyena opened her eyes at the sound of the door being opened late at night. She and the kid where alone. She grabbed the bat next to her bed, thinking that maybe if the burgler had a gun this bat was gonna do diddly squad. She moved silently to the living room, where she suddently turned on the lights and screamed "DON'T MOVE BASTARD, I GOT GUN!!" as she shut her eyes tightly and held the bat in front of her. She didn't heard anything but a loud "Thump!" that made her look. Her eyes widened in shock at the sight of a pretty battered Gaiev leaning against the door edge, barely able to stand up as she quickly helped him to do so; he had a bruised left eye, swollen lip, dried blood coming from the nose (and still a little bit was coming out), messed-up hair, dirty clothes, torn shirt, bruises and cuts on his arms and parts of the torso Alexeyena could see through the torn shirt. Gaiev was breathing with some degree of difficulty.
"Gaiev!" she had exclaimed as she'd rushed to help him, "What happened?" she asked when she helped him in and walk to the couch, "Who did this?"
Gaiev cried out when he sat on the sofa, leaning back to rest and try to make the least amount of effort, whispering things she couldn't understand. He was acting strange – Alexeyena thought. Suddently, her eyes closed to hold back the tears as she held her brother against her.
"It's Ivan again, isn't it?" she whispered to his ear. But Gaiev was already sleeping, a painful expression clear across his face.
