Kia: Hey there! I've been thinking over Raining Fire's thoughts about T-chan not having a lover. And I agree it's not fair for the poor Totetsu! Anyway, I finally got books 7 and 8 of the manga and in book 8 I was introduced to an absolutely ADORABLE character! Ten-chan! Ya know, the fox thingy with lots of tails? Well, I was thinking, T-chan looks like he and Ten-chan would fight lots but are so cute together! devil horns Fighting eventually leads to romance! Just ask Leon.

T-chan: I dun need love!

Leon: Shut up. You know you do, just as the rest of us.

T-chan: Did I ask your opinion? No. Leave me alone.

Leon: I'll leave you alone when I want to!

T-chan: No, you'll leave me alone NOW! Leon and T-chan start fighting

Kia: O.O/O.o/o.O

Leon: lets go of T-chan's leg

T-chan: lets go of Leon's arm

Kia: cough Well now. Let's get on with the story!

Chapter 22

Petshop

Chris has left for the day. He and Lynne are going to stay at a hotel, seeing as Lynne was allergic to dogs, and Dreizehn seemed not to notice. He stayed around her a lot, seeing as he had already grown fond of her. T-chan was glad they were gone. Now he could try to get some sleep…except for that annoying racket coming from a room at the end of one darkened hall.

"Pon-chan?" T-chan called out. The girl had hidden away at the sight of Chris and Lynne. T-chan actually felt sorry for her. She had had a major crush on Chris, after all. Seeing him with another human girl tended to upset her a bit.

T-chan let out a deep sigh, and left to walk down the hall to investigate the noises. He wound up standing before a door he had never seen before. The noises had ceased some time ago, but T-chan was still curious as to what animal lived here. So he reached out, hesitating to open the door.

When he did finally gain back his courage to open the door, he was greeted with, "Yo!"

Ten-chan looked a bit surprised to see T-chan standing there, but his surprise faded into a bright smile. "Hey! Nice to finally see someone around here!" Ten-chan jumped from his chair, shoving his knee-length braid over his shoulder. "Especially someone so cute." Ten-chan approached T-chan, who was frozen in place.

Ten-chan toyed with his cross necklace, smiling flirtatiously at T-chan, who was blushing. "You…Who…" T-chan struggled to get his speech back. "Who are you?"

"Just call me Ten-chan, same as everyone else!" Ten-chan laughed, winking at T-chan. "And you are?"

"T-chan."

"Ah, well, T-chan. Would you like to stay and visit awhile? It's been awful long since I last had a visitor…or a friend, even!" Ten-chan didn't even wait for an answer. He shut the door and started walking towards a table where some cups were set out. T-chan watched him walk away before moving. He watched that long braid swish back and forth, watched those black shorts move gracefully, along with the see-through jacket type shirt that covered the black top that barely made it half-way down his chest, exposing a beautifully muscled abdomen. He was a bit rough around the edges, but perfect eye candy. T-chan was sure there was a sweet, gentle core to this punk boy. And he was determined to find it.

D

D glanced over his figure in the full-length mirror, smoothing away invisible wrinkles in the wedding outfit. They were leaving in three days' time. He was to be married in two. Needless to say, D was very nervous. He didn't have second thoughts, nor did he get a sickness as some people usually experienced. He was just…nervous. He convinced himself it was normal though and accepted it.

D brushed his fingertips over the golden dragon on the front of his white cheongsam, pausing to smile as his eyes rested on the golden ring on his left hand. Tearing his eyes away from the mirror, he brought them to the ring, along with his right hand. He carefully fondled and stared at the ring for a few moments. Leon had given it to him just after the fireworks the night he had proposed.

"I'm going to be married in two days." D told his mirror image softly. A gentle smile graced his beautiful face. "And I can't wait." He finished.

Leon

Leon glared at Jar. "TURN DOWN THE FRICKIN' TV!" He threatened. Jar quickly turned it down very low, and seemed to sink deeper into the plush chair he and Julie were sitting in. Julie smiled at Jar, happiness sparkling in those green eyes.

Julie…Leon felt something click as he remembered he hadn't told D about Devin's death yet. He stood up, his head pounding as a reminder of the hangover he had. He braced himself on the arm of the couch until he could finally stand steady. Then he headed upstairs.

"Hey, D?" Leon staggered through the door, almost falling on top of Yui, who was walking around the room, looking at anything that caught her fancy. D was sitting on the bed, feeding Matt, who blinked up at Leon. D was no longer in his white cheongsam.

"Yes, dear?"

"Hey…um…there's something I forgot to tell you…I was gonna tell you long ago, but forgot." Leon started.

"Yes?" D answered, not looking up from Matt.

"D…Devin died." Leon said, a hand on his throbbing head.

D glanced up at him. "Died? How?"

"I shot him." Leon winced. D set Matt on the ground so that he could go play with Yui. Placing the bottle on the nightstand next to the bed, D pulled Leon into his arms to soothe him. He understood Leon's feelings on killing someone.

"It's ok. If you hadn't, someone else would've." D murmured. Leon leaned into the warm embrace, closing his eyes as he wrapped his arms around D's waist.

"Oh. Am I interrupting?" Jill asked from the doorway. Leon didn't even move.

D smiled. "No, not at all." He ran his hand through Leon's soft bangs affectionately.

"Oh, well, Aunt Kasi asked me to call you down for dinner." Jill turned to leave, but paused to ask, "Is Leon ok?"

D nodded. "Yes, but he's been better." Jill smiled at this.

"Ok then."

Petshop

T-chan was intoxicated, but for once, it wasn't by alcohol. Ten-chan's constant flirting and nearness made T-chan feel strangely warm inside. Normally, he would've snapped at him about his living quarters being so cluttered and messy. But Ten-chan was special. T-chan couldn't quite place it, but something about this boy made him feel strange. He had never felt this way about someone before.

They finished their tea that Ten-chan had made, as it turned out he was a tea freak like D, and then they moved to the couch. Once T-chan was settled comfortably on one end of the couch, Ten-chan cuddled up with him. T-chan found that he didn't mind this one bit.

After talking and flirting for countless hours, Ten-chan fell asleep with his head in T-chan's lap. T-chan toyed with Ten-chan's hair affectionately, and sighed happily. Boy, am I glad I found him. He's so…I dunno. But I definitely like him.

Kasi's House

Dinner was over now, and Leon had trudged back up to the bedroom, with D's help. He had flopped down on the bed, moaning into his pillow about his headache. Lifting his head again, he asked, "D, could you get my CD player."

"Certainly." D kissed his cheek and turned away. He walked over to the far wall where their bags were and bent to dig out the CD player. Leon smiled.

"I think I'm feeling better already." He muttered as he watched D.

Jar and Julie

Julie covered her mouth with her hands, trying to stifle her giggling. She was hiding in a cabinet under the kitchen counter, hoping that Jar wouldn't find her. Yui was with her, smiling happily and clutching her arm to keep the little balance she had in the small cabinet.

Jar and Matt creeped along silently, looking in every possible hiding place for the girls. Jar completely skipped the cabinet the girls were in and started to leave. Matt tugged gently on his pant leg and then walked over to the cabinet, gurgling happily as he placed both hands on the closed door.

"You wanna look in there?" Jar asked. He shrugged. "Ok, but I doubt they fit in there." He opened the cabinet door to be greeted by a fit of giggles. Matt smiled at them all. Jar picked him up. "Matt, you're a genius!"

Petshop

T-chan was taking care of a few of the many kittens that were mewling. The mother was busy with four at the moment, Pon-chan with one, and T-chan with two. Ten-chan skipped into the room with many bottles in his arms. "Here you go!" He chirped.

Ten-chan gave T-chan his bottles last, taking a kitten from him. He stared at him all the while feeding the kitten, smiling to himself. T-chan was too busy with the mewling calico to look at Ten-chan, though he felt his eyes on him.

The kitten pushed away the bottle, refusing to eat. "C'mon!" T-chan exclaimed. At that moment, Ten-chan leaned forward to kiss T-chan's cheek. Then he turned his attention to the black kitten in his arms, humming softly. T-chan stared at him in wonder, smiling as he brushed a hand over his cheek.

The mewling brought T-chan back to reality as he tried to feed the calico yet again.
