Relaxing
Chapter 3
By: Kia Wolf
Don't own none of 'em, never will...
Kia: Hey. First off, I must apologize. It has been a couple of days since I've updated. I suppose I'm apologizing to Katastrophic88. I've gotten 2 reviews. Both from Kat. Is anyone else even reading this? Oh well. I'll continue anyway...just cuz I wanna.
Leon: Hey, you're writing?
Kia: AH! Where'd you come from?
Leon: Down the hall, 2nd room on the right.
Kia: Where's D?
Leon: smirk Gettin dressed.
Kia: sigh Why do I even ask? Anyway...
Leon: Say, where ya been lately? LONG PAUSE Jigsaw's again?
Kia: WHAT? blush No. Actually I went to Mince's...not that it's any of your business...
D: What about Mr. Vampire and Mr. Knight?
Kia: Nothing.
Leon: Just talking about Kia's love life.
D: Oh...Hey, are you writing, Kia?
Kia: Yes.
D: Oh good. I've been waiting to see what my relaxing surprise is.
Kia: I've decided on spa. A spa with a few complications, maybe. Most likely.
Leon: Complications like what?
Kia: Just read and find out. And please REVIEW! Oh, and, do you think Leon would be considered OOC since he's...nice?
Leon: HEY!
D: Don't shout, Detective.
Leon: Sorry, D.
"D, bring comfortable clothes. Or do you only have those dresses" Leon questioned, searching through D's closet.
"My cheongsams are comfortable, Detective." D smiled as he neatly folded another cheongsam.
"Yeah, well...it's a spa. Ya know, massages and all that nasty mud pool things where everyone sits naked in them" Leon said, plopping down on D's bed next to Q-chan.
"Of course..." D said, acting as if he had known this all along, but now this spa idea was sounding a little bit like 'not a very good idea' kinda thing.
Jill burst through the door, scaring Leon, and making D laugh as Leon fell to the floor. Smiling, Jill turned, and said to Jar"Look, we made Uncle Leon fall down" Jar laughed with Jill.
"Not funny. Not funny at all." Leon muttered, standing up from the floor.
D closed his suitcase. "My tea...how can I"
"I'll bring it to ya at the spa." Leon interrupted.
"Oh." D said, smiling. "Ok, then."
D walked out of the room, with Jar and Q-chan following him. Jill held back Leon.
"You just want an excuse to go see him, doncha" Jill grinned.
"Yeah, I guess. Just to check up on him, ya know" Leon shrugged.
"I knew it." Jill punched Leon lightly on his arm. "You're lovestruck."
"Yup." Leon laughed, following Jill out of the room.
They made their way into the front of the shop, where D was telling all his pets, or most of the small ones at least, goodbye. They had all sensed something was happening, and had come to D. Most of the animals seemed sad that D was leaving, some not so sad. T-chan glanced sheepishly at Leon. He had plans for D's 'dear Detective' once he left.
"T-chan, you be nice and do not eat the Detective while I'm away." D said, patting T-chan's head. Oh well. So much for eating Leon. After all, you didn't want to get D mad. It wasn't pretty when he got mad.
A cat mewed loudly, his large, sad eyes staring up at D. Leon winced. He didn't like that cat. It was a little too attached to D. Just as D was attached to it...ok, fine. He was jealous. Of a cat...and he felt bad about it.
"I know, my Femto-kun. I shall miss you too. But I'll be back soon." D soothed, stroking his head.
Leon glanced at his watch. "Time to go, D." He started to hurry D out of the shop.
"You know where the food is for the animals, and which feed goes to which animal, correct" D asked, deliberately stalling.
"Yeah, yeah. And I know all the rules about them. I know which ones belong in the dark, and which don't get fed meat. You've only told and showed me a million times." Leon sighed, taking D's suitcase.
Jill stood in the doorway, Jarvis on her hip and animals all around, watching as Leon and D chatted and piled into Leon's vehicle. They waved goodbye, and Jar shouted"Bye bye, Daddy"
About 30 min. later...
"!( traffic" Leon exclaimed.
"Language, Leon." D scolded gently.
"Yeah, right. Whatever." Leon pouted silently.
D giggled. "I just do not want our little Jar to start cursing like you do."
"I know." Leon muttered. "We're here."
Back at the shop...
"And so the brave knight drew his sword, preparing for battle." Jill read from one of Jar's books. "See the knight, Jar" Jill pointed out the knight.
Jar tapped the knight on the page with his fingers, and then looked up at the animals who were sitting around listening. "Show them picture, Jill"
Jill smiled, and turned the book around, for Jar's sake. All the animals instantly crowded around to get a glimpse of the knight in shining armor. This made Jill frown.
"Maybe Leon was right." She thought to herself. "He did say these animals were almost human sometimes."
"Read, read" Jar exclaimed, bored with sharing the picture. All the animals mewed, barked, shrilled, or whatever noise they made, in agreement. So Jill just shrugged and read on.
Leon and D...
"We're here." Leon said, parking the truck. He jumped out and grabbed D's suitcase, joining D at the front of the truck.
"It's...big." D said, looking the place over.
"Yeah. I guess." Leon shrugged, leading D inside.
D continued to look at everything, paintings, fake flowers, tables, as Leon checked him in.
"Count D." Leon said to the secretary.
"Ah, yes. Here he is." She pointed to a name on a clipboard. "Right this way, we'll show you your room, Count." The secretary stood, smiling at Leon.
"Oh, I'm not D." Leon shook his head. "Hey, D" D turned to look at him. "That's D."
"Oh. Well, let's show him...him, right"
"Yeah." Leon snapped.
"Of course. To his room." The secretary smiled nervously.
"Another nut that thought you was a woman." Leon whispered to D.
D smiled. "Did you think that when you met me" Leon blushed, and didn't answer.
"Here's your room." The secretary motioned them in, handed D a key and walked out.
"Nice place." Leon said, setting down D's suitcase. "Cost enough."
D smiled. "It is nice."
Leon started to leave the room. "I guess I'll be going."
"Wait. What about that chocolate you have hidden in your jacket" D smiled.
Leon laughed. "You can smell chocolate a mile away, can't you" He pulled out a box from an inside pocket of his jacket.
D reached for it, but Leon held it out of reach. He smiled. No words were needed. D kissed Leon, and received the chocolate.
"Thank you, Detective." D smiled.
"Now, I'll be going." Leon said, hugging D goodbye.
As Leon walked away, and D retreated into his room, a pair of green eyes watched them from his doorway.
Kai: Soooo? Like it? Hope so. It's almost midnight, and I'm not one to stay up this late. Especially when I have friends coming over the next day.
Leon: Green eyes? Well, who is it? Do I have anything to worry about?
Kia: I dunno. I ain't thunk that far yet.
D: giggling You said thunk.
Leon: rolling his eyes Geez. You've been into that Splenda stuff again, huh? I thought I told you false sugar was bad for you. Stick the real stuff.
D: I like it. It's not fattening. And it's still sugary...Even though you have to add two more pounds before it tastes like sugar.
Leon: Fattening? Who cares if it's fattening.
D: I have to watch my figure.
Jill: That's what I'm supposed to say! That's my line!
Leon: I like your figure the way it is. Besides. You couldn't gain any weight if you tried.
Kia: sigh I wish that's how I was...
D,
Leon, and Jill arguing in background about sugar and weight
control.
Kia: Well, that's all for now. Bai bai folks!
PLEASE REVIEW! Adios amigos/amigas.
D: Do you think I'm fat?
Leon: What? I-
Jill: That's a trick question.
Leon: What?
Jill: Oh come on. Everyone knows that there is no correct answer for that. We always think of something to complain about.
Leon: True.
Mince: Yeah.
Everyone: Where'd you come from?
Mince: Um...Kia's closet.
Kia: sigh What to do now?
Lots of laughing and arguing...
