Disclaimer- I WISH I owned Pietro…Then you'd see more of him. And he can be my personal slave along with Sirius Black (NOT Gary Oldman's version shudders), Tom Felton, Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, Legolas, and Miroku. Oh and Merry and Pippin. And Charlie from 'Lost' who IS actually Merry but still…

A/N- Story has been upped to 'R' because of language and because they talk about having sex. This isn't a lemon, just so you know. Though the sequel is, but it won't be out for a while. I plan on finishing at least 'In Dreams' first and then I have this 10 chaptered Inuyasha fic I want to get out.

Chapter Fifteen- Men are the Supreme Idiots of the Universe

"He better look somewhere else if he doesn't want his eyeballs ripped out of his sockets and shoved so far up his ass he can taste them," Pietro muttered to Crystal, giving one of the grocery store's employees a filthy look.

"Relax," Crystal said soothingly, grabbing a carton of orange juice as they walked past and depositing it in the shopping cart. Pietro's arm just tightened around her waist and his eyes kept darting to the pimply-faced teenager who dared look at her.

"Relax?" he hissed disbelievingly. "Relax? You want me to- when he's looking at places only I'm allowed to look at?"

Crystal rolled her eyes and then stared up at the heavens- or rather the dome-shaped security camera on the ceiling. She smiled up at her distorted reflection. Meanwhile besides her, Pietro was still muttering obscenities about the boy.

"He's still looking!" He seethed through clenched teeth. The boy caught Pietro giving him his piercing glare and quickly averted his gaze. "Yeah you better look away you bleeding, horny-assed, shit-faced, ass-fuck."

"Pietro!" Crystal scolded indignantly. "Hasn't anyone bothered to wash your mouth out with soap?"

"No," he said tersely, his body tensed. He said nothing else and she took that as a sign that she shouldn't either.

They didn't say another word as they went into one of the lines and started to unload the food from the cart. The cashier was a young lady around twenty-seven or so with rather plain looks; she gave Pietro a wide smile.

"Had any trouble finding anything?" she asked, her eyes fluttering a little.

Pietro smirked, looking amused. "Nope," he said easily, his eyes drifting to the check Crystal was writing out. He looked back at the cashier. She was staring back rather hungrily at him but he wasn't fazed at all by this; he was too used to it to care.

Crystal however, knew exactly what the lady was doing and she knew that she should scream at him for encouraging the girl. He had been complaining about the teenaged boy that just happened to look her way and had overreacted about it. She ignored it anyhow and pursed her lips in a thin line, pressing down rather harder than necessary with her pen while writing it out.

Ripping the check out of her checkbook rather forcefully so she nearly ripped it in half, Crystal drew the cashier's attention to her as she handed it to her. The woman looked at her with a look of jealously until her eyes darted back to Pietro. She gave him a dimpled grin and without taking her eyes off of him, she opened the cash register and laid the check in it. He smirked, his hand coming up to rest on the small of Crystal's back as he gave his hand a little pressure on his back so she would walk forward.

"Lady couldn't keep her eyes off me," he told her as they began to load the groceries in the trunk of her car, his arrogant smirk still in place. "Think her name was Gayle…or was it Gina? Dunno, doesn't matter."

She slammed the trunk down, almost smashing his fingers in the process; the only thing that saved them was his powers. He looked at her indignantly.

"What the hell was that for?" he hissed, his piercing blue glare boring a hole in the back of her neck as she entered the driver's seat and slammed the door shut, starting the ignition.

She gave him a withering look as she began to roll up her window but he grabbed her hand from the inside and stopped her, then pressed the button until it came all the way down again.

"Look if you're just gonna be pissed at me I'll run back." He leaned forward a bit to kiss her lips but she turned her head towards the direction of the windshield so he settled on her cheek. He gave a loud sigh mixed with exasperation and what could have been anger.

She backed out of the parking space, ignoring that she almost ran over his foot when he gave a surprised yelp.

As she stopped at a streetlight, she saw his signature blur pass all of the cars, and she was sure she heard a faint manic laugh.

Crystal sighed into the phone. "Fine, you're forgiven. Come over, we'll have dinner." There was no answer. "Pietro?"

"Hello sexy lady," a voice said from the balcony doors. She shrieked and the phone dropped from where it was resting between her ear and shoulder. Pietro stood there, dressed in regular clothes but he had a red rose twirling in his hand.

"Well," he drawled, "aren't ya gonna invite me in? You said we'll have dinner."

Crystal smiled, walked over to him, plucked the rose from his hand and gave him a sweet, yet passionate kiss.


In the few weeks following, Crystal learned just how much Pietro liked- no loved- to have sex or anything that had had something sexual to do at all. And it seemed he wanted it a lot. Every day, in fact.

She figured that he must have been holding back on her before they first made love so as not to frighten her off. She had been right.

"Didn't want to scare you off," he told her when she had asked; not seeming to be paying much attention to what she was saying as he was in getting his hands under her shirt. She did nothing to stop him, of course, and it wasn't like she didn't like it at all. She enjoyed it, matter-of-fact.

Pietro straddled her legs now on the couch, being careful in keeping all of his weight on his knees. He had grabbed the bottom of her shirt and began to pull it off, kissing her neck, shoulders, and collar-bone as he did so. Suddenly, she had a strange impulse to ask a very stupid (in her opinion) question.

"Pietro ("Mmph?" he has asked in the crook of her neck) what do you love most in the world?" She felt him freeze at what he was doing and look at her with a questioning and confused blue gaze.

"Sex?" he answered, almost unsure himself. He must have seen the heartbroken look on her face (because at that moment she felt her heart shatter in to little tiny pieces), because he tried to fix his blunder. "With you?"

Her face crumpled and the downpour came. Why she was crying like a baby, she didn't know, but she knew he caused it with his insensitive words- the jerk.

With even more strength than even Juggernaut could have been able to handle, she shoved him off her and he landed flat on his ass on the hard floor.

"Wha-" Pietro's brow furrowed and then just as swiftly as the sky does on a rainy day, his face darkened and his eyes flashed. "What the hell's the matter with you? Why're you cryin' for?"

"Because you're the biggest asshole I've ever laid eyes on!" she screamed at him, sobs wracking her body.

"What the fuck did I do?" he yelled, towering over her when he jumped to his feet. She jumped to her feet too, her green eyes sparking with an angry fire.

"You love sex most in the world?" she shrieked, "Sex? You bleeding, horny-assed, shit-faced, ass-fuck!"

He stuttered for a moment, surprised at the way she was cussing. "Quit taking my insults!" he hollered angrily, a vein ticking at his temple, his was face red like a tomato. "There's something wrong with you! One moment you're happy as a loon, the next you're bawling your fricken eyes out, and then you're a raving lunatic and asking stupid questions? Why'd you ask that if it was just gonna lead to a row? Huh?"

"Raving lunatic?" she hissed and slapped him across his gorgeous face with all the strength she could muster; she sure hoped he wouldn't bruise…

"I asked because I love you, you stubborn jackass!" She shrieked, amid fresh, choking sobs. Their eyes widened, both froze, and Crystal's hands flew to her mouth.

She fearfully watched him for any kind of sign of emotion: anger, disgust, contentment. But there was none. He stood there like a deer caught in headlights: his eyes were painfully wide open, glazed over, his mouth slightly agape, and he seemed to be staring at a place right through her. She ran out of the room without a word, her back turned as he sat down slowly on the couch, resting his elbows on his knees and his head in shaky hands.


Oh lordy. She's finally admitted it! Now we just need him to... Mwahaha! Three more chapters left after this, folks. Holy cow, it's been almost a year since I published this!

Would've updated this probably sooner, but I was busy taking care of my pooch because she had Limphoma or something like that and she wouldn't eat and the only way she'd drink was if I held a small cup of water in front of her.. Well, we put her to sleep now, so my foot-warmer's gone. It'll take me a while to get over her. She was my buddy.

Has anyone ever seen the movie, "Out of Africa"? It's an older movie with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford? Anyways, Robert Redford was gorgeous in it. Has that handsome, rugged look drool.

And I have RotK special extended version! AND the first two Inuyasha movies yay! 'Cept Kagome DOES kind of get annoying with her incessant screaming of "Inuyasha!" And it's not even like that it's like 'Inuyashaaaaaaa!" Actually it's not even like THAT! The end of the name is screamed kinda squeakily and her voice breaks and its all outta tune and stuff like: "InuyashaaAAAaaaAAaAaA!"

Over all, it was a good movie. Here is a little excerpt from the first film:

Kagome: Inuyasha! (jumps from a considerable height off of Kirara)

Inuyasha: Hm? You idiot! (sticks very large sword, Tetsutsaiga, into the ground and catches Kagome with a little twirl as she falls into his arms)

Inuyasha: That was a little reckless.

Kagome: Yeah, well I knew you'd catch me so I figured I'd take the fast way (we are actually being shown Miroku watching them with wide eyes)

Inuyasha: (it's still Miroku on the screen with the same look) You're not a piece of baggage, dummy!

Miroku: (turns and looks at Kirara and Sango, who is on the demon kitty, spreads his arms out) Sango! No need to be shy! Come, fall into my arms!"

Sango: (blushes and throws something at his head)

Miroku: (kind of muffled) Hey-ow

Shippo: Idiot

Yes! Go rent or buy the movie! There's GOT to be some IY fans reading this besides Insanebunneh!

Uncanny R-Man- Crystal's family will be introduced in the sequel. They're not gonna be nice to poor Pie either. Thanks for reviewing!

Zee4- I knew you'd be happy! Aww! You'd read straight people having sex for me?! That means a lot, Zee! And usually I'm opposed to reading same sex people having sex, but I DO read yours! A new story would be good, but 'Down' must be updated! And I did do good on my finals! Three A's, three B's, and one C (I hate algebra) Did you have 'em?

Insanebunneh- When's that present gonna be shipped again? And you still need to review 'Up in Flames' it is your DUTY. Now I'm upset. Look, you've made me upset. (makes a Shippo-like face when he gives his 'puppy' look.)

Darkstorm5000- Ooh! A new reviewer! Hello there! You're compliments mean a lot! There are some fics out there with Crystal/Pietro. Alison Sky writes them, and 'From the Shadows' has her mentioned, though it's like 92 chapters long. Still good though.

Kyuushi- Mags isn't going to be in this story…He will be in the next one though. And Crystal's already met Wanda. BUT I'll have a little 'Meet the Parents' with Pietro with Crystal's parents…It's more amusing! Mwahaha!

Thanks all for reviewing!

Like it? Hate it? Either way, review!
