CHAPTER FIVE

D growled at the mess that P-chan and Tet-chan had made in his room, "How many times do I have to tell you?!" he whined. "I don't want you in MY room! I don't go messing up your rooms! In fact, I CLEAN them!!"

"It doesn't look that bad, Count." Leon said with a laugh, and flung himself on D's bed.

D stood speechless before regaining his composer, "Well, I'm not the one who likes to keep basketball-breasted women!" D growled at the man before shoving him off of the bed and making it up.

"Now, you two. Go grab Rhelex and Hacker, they'll help me." he ordered P-chan and Tet-chan.

The two slunk off out of the door. "What am I going to do with those two?" he asked himself, forgetting that Leon was in the room, since the blonde had become quiet. "They're too much!"

---

Omi glared at the dog that was in the flowershop that his owners owned. "Get out. You have no business here!" he growled. "I don't want to see your face again."

The dog whined and followed Omi. "No, get lost you mutt. I have to intention of seeing him again. He's cruel and heartless!" he hissed.

Ran and the others stared at the bird and the dog. But, the red-head moved to the door after shooing everyone out and closed up for the day, "Is that a friend of yours, Omi?"

"Like hell!" Omi hissed and shoved the dog away from him, "I'd rather die than be his bitch again." he yelled at the dog. "Get out! I never want to see you again!"

The dog whined. "Oh, no. Don't you give me that pathetic whine!" Omi growled. "I want nothing to do with Ichimoto!"

The dog crept closer to Ran, and looked at him in the eye before it started to growl. The black dog lunged at Ran, but Omi grabbed the dog's hind leg, causing it to fall. "You so much as touch him, and I will castrate you, tear off your eyes lids and bury you alive!"

The dog yelped and turned around to Omi and laid down. "Did this beast hurt you, Ran-kun?"

Ran shook his head and stepped back with Yohji and Ken. "Now, mutt. What do you want from me, besides trying to get me to return to that bastard."

The dog morphed into a boy before their eyes. "I want you to go back with me! I'm tired of taking everything now." he said sadly, he had deep black hair and sad eyes. "I can't stand it with out you, Omi!" he paused, "and you know it."

"I'm god damned tired of being fucked around wi--" but the dog was cut off by Omi's hand over his mouth.

"This is not the time nor place to discuss this..." Omi said with a grave smile. "I don't want my owners to know what had happened, or why D took me away."

"I wish that D-sama had taken me too..." the dog cried, "If only I was a rare breed, not just a mutt!"

Omi knelt down and hugged the boy, "I'm sorry I called you a mutt. You're not a mutt, Todesengel, your a pure bred Husky." Omi said softly, "I love huskies."

The boy hugged Omi back and cried on him. "It hurts so much without you there to protect me.." he sobbed, "I missed you!"

Omi sighed and sat down, his feet were beginning to fall asleep sitting on them like he was. "I've missed you too, but times have changed. I can't go back!"

Todesengel moved away from Omi, "So what they said was true! You have changed, and it all their fault!" he pointed rudely at the three men standing by the door. "I can't believe you would turn your back on all of us, Omi!" he cried, "After what that man does to us?! You just abandon us like trash!!" he yelled, but he lowered his head. His voice had become quieter, almost below a whisper, but they could still hear him. "To think, that you would leave us, the ones that rescued you for these mongrels."

"They aren't bad people! Not everyone is bad!" Omi cried, standing with the other boy.

"That's right, Omi. You were always the lucky one. Taken away by Leon, given to D, and then sold... On top of it all, it seemed that every but me knew that you'd betray us... I should've seen it coming."

"Todesengel ..."

"Nothing to say, eh Omi?!" The dog asked cruely. "Because of you we were left with nothing but that man to depend on!" he cried, "But, did you know that once you left he started to starve us. Some of the others killed my brother, he was the weak one. Or did you already forget?" he asked with a sneer.

"They kill Sergei?"

"No, they ate him. Right in front of me. In the following weeks just about every one else had either died or ran away. But, of course. I was the faithful one. Always believing that you'd return to save me."

"Todesengel !"

"Shut up, Omi." he hissed, tears were threatening to spill out of his eyes. "I just thought that you'd like to know that you killed everyone but me."

"Todesengel , I did-"

"Omi, I have no more time to speak with you." He looked at the clock on the wall. "I have to go to a very important meeting."

"Don't tell me that you're still prostituting yourself?!" Omi asked as the boy walked towards the side door. "Answer me!"

"Why in hell's name should I?!" the dog roared. "I came in here to ask you if you would be willing to help me, just a bit. And you turn it into last time!"

"Last time I was stolen!"

"Last time we had saved you from that man!"

"But, it's the same damn thing that our master had done to us!!" Omi yelled.

"Our master sold me!" he yelled to Omi, "To who he thought would be a better owner!" Todesengel cradled his head in his hands. "I didn't imagine he sold me to a ring!"

"A very bad puppy..." came a voice from the door, a short-silver-haired man walked in through the door. "Calling for help is a big no-no, and you know it." the man laughed, a cruel laugh. "You'll need to be punished!"

The man grabbed Todesengel by his collar and pulled him out of the flowershop, "But, you'll be late if I give it to you now... so you'll get it later." the man said, pulling him along. "I bid you all adieu!"

"I'm sorry Omi!" Todesengel cried. "Please don't cry for me!"

---

Omi stared at the open door for several minutes until Yohji shut it. He fell to his knees and cried, holding his head in between his hands resting his elbows on his knees. "I ruined his life! I sent him to it... it's my fault! I should have refused Leon. I should've..."

"You didn't do anything wrong by going with us, Omi." Ken said, wrapping his arms around the younger bird. "You just wanted to live with somebody."

"But, I killed Todesengel!" Omi cried harder onto Ken's chest. "I can't stand it, it hurts so much!"

"He's not dead yet." Ran said, flexing his hands out. "Let's go get the Count's help with this one." He muttered to Yohji. "Do you all want to stay here, or go with me?"

"I-I wanna go with you..."
