A/N: always wanted to right that. Well this story is taking up more time than I thought it would. I've been working on a ch' like every day seine I posted, and I'm trying to keep that up. Therefore, this will be up-dated regularly. Just one quick note, Ray-kun pointed this out before he left for work this morning. Kohl's little self-monolog, well he isn't crazy. He's just been forced to live alone with his master for soooo long that he needed something to talk to.

If you want more on his past, 'cause I may not go into that great of detail, (it gets kinda weird and I didn't want to right it all in. That's way to many flashbacks. Plus even I get lost if I don't go back and re-read my notes on him;;) just request it in a review or e-mail me. And I'll get it to you as soon as possible.

Kohl: Well, I didn't have to hit her to get her to shut up this time. Oohh…. Well. Maybe next time.

Inari: I'm getting better.. Well thanks to RuByMoOn17 for the review of ch' one. As I said, I'll try to put one out every day. Nevertheless, I may become distracted and forget. so just hang in there.

To Precognition74, I know I just couldn't fit him in the first few scenes. However, he does show up in this one. - and thanks on the Vampire thing, there one of my faivs to write.

Kohl: Well now, that's that, so over with that, here's the next part.

Dreams and Koneko

Master had a surprise for him.

Master had come back from his leave with three treats.

The first, he was going to be staying at the mansion for more than a few days! Kohl really hated staying here all by himself. Master could get just so paranoid; he wasn't going to leave the one who saved him, now was he? He wouldn't even keep slaves or anything, and it was always just Kohl all by himself when he left.

Second was, he brought food! He'd been gone for almost two weeks and Kohl hadn't fed since then! If Master said that he couldn't leave the grounds, then whom was he to complain? He just wished Master would leave a meal before he left next time. He had trouble not attacking Master when he arrived home, he was just so hungry!

Now, they were heading to where Master said the third was. He'd said that his doll deserved a real treat for being so good while he was away.

Ohhh… I wonder what it is!

They stopped in front of a large oak door; one Kohl had been in a hundred times. Well, if there was nothing to do and you have no one to play with, than why not go exploring. To his knowledge, the room, filled with ornately carved dolls, and paintings hung all over the walls. In the middle, would be a large four-poster bed, with red sateen sheets and pillows galore. Master would never sleep in there, his room, one on the second floor, was much more extravagant, but Kohl wasn't allowed to go in there. Of the six years since Master had saved him, Master had only slept in the house once or twice, and never in any other room.

Master reached to the door from where he stood behind him, and pushed ope…

Kohl, brought out of his dream by a yell, off in another portion of the park, he opened his eyes to the harsh light of morning, trying to see what had awoken him.

Looking out from the tree he was in (1), he noticed it to be two kids fighting over a ball. It wasn't even past eight in the morning and the park, already filled with people, seamed to be getting smaller by the moment.

Kohl suppressed a shutter, and jumped from the tree to find a quieter spot to rest.

Last night was still running through his head. Never expecting to be allowed to stay in a packs territory, he hoped it was a good sign that he could make it here.

And that boy…

None of the pets Master gave him were anything like Ken. He was a good half a century younger than he was, but knows more about being a vampire than he could ever guess on even.

He's even the youngest in his group…

And you're falling in love…

You know, I think I am. Now what is it you want? I really don't have the time or toleration for you right now.

Oohh… Touchy today, are we. Well, I don't know about the tolerance thing, but you definitely have the time. You have nowhere to go.

Your point is.

I'm getting there. Well, since you're just so infatuated with Ke…

Do you even know what that word means?

Yes I do, now can I finish.

…

Thank you. Now where was I, ohh yeah? Why don't you look for him? He did say, before he left last night, he worked and lived around here. And since you know his packs smell, why don't you just sniff him out?

I think this is the first time you've actually helped me out, at least without getting me into trouble while doing it.

Well, I do try.

While he had been talking to himself, he'd leapt to a rooftop, to see if he could get a better scope of his surroundings. Smelling the air, he set out to find his new friend.

Bang.

"Ken-kun."

Bang… Bang… Bang…

"KEN-KUN!"

Ken rolled back over, and bared his head under the pillow. Maybe… Just maybe… If I act as if I'm still asleep, they'll just go away.

However, to Ken's sudden horror, that wasn't going to happen. Ken, all of a sudden, had a bed full of giggling girl and chibi, trying there dandiest to tickle him into getting up. One- he couldn't tell you which to save his life- was straddling his chest and attacking his ribs. While the other- that now he thought of it must be Aya-chan, because of the hair tickling his legs- was getting his feet.

"Okay…. I'm up." He huffed out, through the laughter. "Now, please... stop before I … I." He couldn't get the rest out.

After a few more seconds of tickling, the pillow, finally lifted from his head, and the sight of a blonde head of hair bent over laughing greeted him.

"Well, Ken-kun if you'd get up on time for your shift, than we wouldn't have to do this." Omi giggled out, face flushed from laughter.

"But if he did that Omi-chan, than we wouldn't be able to do this." Stating that, Aya decided his feet really had not been tickled enough, and commenced to make him squirm on the bed.

"Aya-chan, Omi… You need to leave for school in the next few minutes." Was called up from the stairwell leading to the Koneko.

"Hai Ran-nii, we're coming." Aya called back down, jumping off the bed and Ken. Then tugged Omi off to… With the blankets.

"Come on Ken-kun, if you don't get up now, Nii will come up here and I don't think he'll be nice about it." She said, as she throws the blanket to a chair on the other side of the room, and dragged an Omi out the door.

If that's the best way to wake up in the morning than I need a new… well can't finish that thought. Man, need caffeine.

Ken reluctantly sat up in bed, and stretched all his sore muscles from the mission a few nights ago. He wasn't the most graceful person in the world, but you would think a trained assassin / goalie / vampire could walk on a catwalk, without tripping and falling three stories into a pile of crates.

Well, live and learn…

He was just lucky that vamps heal quickly; he'd be in the hospital- or even better- morgue, from that fall from grace.

Making his way out of his room, he made a quick stop in the lavatory, for morning business, before heading down to the kitchen they shared, for a little breakfast and that much needed coffee.

Scratching his bear chest, he could walk around like this right now only because, Aya had already left for school, and he knew that the wrath of the elder Fujimiya wouldn't be after him. Getting out his favorite mug- it had rain clouds at the top, and then little soccer balls falling from them onto a filled- he went over to the counter and proceeded to fill the thing with more sugar and cream than actual coffee.

Once his caffeine- more like sugar-, craving was satisfied, he made a small- okay, more like that of which you would feed the British navel force with, but we won't go there- breakfast. This consisted of eggs with every fixing, toast, a muffin that was left on the counter, some leftover Chinese that was in the fridge, and a large glass of orange juice.

"Ken... Yha know, others have to eat to." Yoji stated, from where he was leaning in the kitchen door jam, giving ken a coughing fix for startling him.

Draining the last of his juice to clear his air passage, Ken glared at the lanky blonde. "Shit... Yoji, if you're going to be up before noon, worn someone. So things like this can be avoided."

"So," Yoji, seaming to blow this off as nothing of importance, went on. "How'd it go last night, yha know, with the all mighty fearful… did you get any?" He asks, sending Ken into another fit of spluttering. "So… I take that as a 'no'?"

"Yoji, don't you have to be working in the Koneko?" Ken asked, not in the mood to have his day start out with Yoji's sex questions.

"Smoke brake." Yoji replied, waving the pack and litter Ken hadn't noticed the blonde was caring.

"And if you still want it, you have three seconds to take it outside before I come in there." Omi stated from the door, his book bag hanging from his shoulder, and a reprimanding look in his eyes.

"Hai, Hai… I'm goin'… jus' having a little fun." He said, hopping off the counter he really shouldn't of been sitting on, but Omi didn't see the need to yell at him for that too.

"Don't you have school, Omi?" Ken asked, cleaning up his mess from breakfast, as Omi sat his bag down on the table.

"Hai, I do but not till 11:00 all this week." Omi replied, sitting down in his vacated chair as he washed up.

"Whys that, the building blow or something?" Ken joked, getting ready to head up for a shower before his shift started- he looked over at the wall clock- in one hour. Arrggg…! Can't believe they woke me up this early. I didn't get in till three this morning! They let Yoji sleep in, but that probable 'cause he's sleeping with the all mighty ice prince. Well I'll teac…

"Ken-kun, are you even listening to me?" Omi asked, bringing him out of his little revenge littered thoughts. Ken blushed then shook his head. "Thought not." Letting out a sigh of long-suffering for having to repeat himself like all the other times, he began again. "I said, there was a spill in one of the labs, and the smoke from it is highly toxic, so… I don't have morning classes all this week!" This last, said with all the cheer in the world backing it up.

"Well that's good for you. You needed a brake since that last mission. Wait, does Aya have classes in that building to?" Ken asks, dreading having to go back upstairs for a shirt.

"No, she still has class." Mumbled out around the muffin he'd stolen of the table after Ken had gotten up.

"Good… So, what yha goanna do with you time off. Since you're not placed to work morning shift?" He asked smiling at his antics. Even though Omi was a good twenty years older than he was, he still enjoyed acting like the teen he had been trapped into being.

"No clue, prob just goanna get online... Or I could go to the park, there has been some very entreating thing happing there... From what I've heard." Winking, Omi started going through his bag, looking for who knew what.

Ken blush ran anew on his face. "Aa-a. You heard about that?"

"Well you know Yoji-kun, he tends to sprout out whatever's on his mind." Omi replied, his arms lost in his book bag.

Knock, Knock.

"Okay, no one uses the back door." Ken stated, looking at the thing as if it had come alive and asked for a cup of tea.

"Well, you were going to answer it?" Ran asked from the door to the rest of the house, scaring both him and Omi into jumping strait out of there skins.

Being the first one to recover from the near hart attack, Ken slowly walked over to the door and swung it open, the person standing on the other side jumped back as if he had been attacked, before he realized who it was and calmed down.

"Shit Kohl, don't ever do that again, haven't you ever heard of a front door?" Ken asked, staring at the man standing in the ally way.

"You have a shop, not a front door. Besides you're back here, not up there." Kohl explained, looking as if that was all the explanation in the world anyone would ever need.

"Ken, let him in, and Omi, come help me out in the shop, Yoji's to busy flirting to be any help." The fact that Ran actual explained his order, shown that he was up to something and Omi had a pretty good idea what it was.

"Hai… It was nice meeting you, Kohl-san." Omi did a little bow, and then darted out of the room after Ran.

Ken, still at a loss as to why Ran didn't just yell at his lover as he always does, moved aside to let Kohl in.

"Well, what brings you to our lovely home?" He asked, sitting back down at the table, and wishing that he had gone back up stairs for that shirt.

(1) I know I'm starting to make him sound like Hiei, but Kohl's just a tree person.

Inari: well, I think I'll leave it there, for now.

Please review.
