Relaxing
Chapter 6
By: Kia Wolf
Don't own it. Period.
Kia: Hello again! And thankies to Freedom! I'm glad you like it! I try my best. Oh, and the voices in your head are always fighting? MINE TOO! Heehee!
Leon: Oh great.
Kia: Excuse me?
Leon: Nothing. By the way, I brought a few friends over. Hope you don't mind.
Kia: You what?
Kai: Hello, Kia.
Sano: Hiya, Kia.
Kia: Oh, crud. Hey guys.
Tiy: Hey, your bedroom's getting awfully crowded. It's not very big to begin with, you know.
Kia: I know, I know. What with Leon and D and Jill and Jar and D's pets staying here…it's already crowded enough. And now Kai and Sano's here?
Kai: And Rei. You know I can't leave my kitten alone.
Rei: Hey, Kia. Long time no see.
Kia: sigh Right. Hey, Rei.
Tiy: Hey, do these three have ANYTHING to do with Petshop of Horrors at all?
Kia: Nope.
Tiy: Then…why are they here? Leon, how'd you find 'em?
Leon: Well, it was pretty hard…you see-
Kia: I don't care! Just don't break anything! deep sigh Man. Anyway. Here's Chap. 6…R/R please! (oh, and there's a Blooper Reel at the end. I admit it. I got the idea from another fic. But, hey, it helps me feel better about what I wrote.)
Leon: I take no responsibility for anything they break.
"Hello, Devin." D said, smiling nervously. Devin's eyes were sparkling mischevously.
"Glad I saw you. I was starting to wonder just what you and Mr. Leon were doing in there." Devin said teasingly.
D chuckled. It seemed that was all he could do now that he was nervous. Laughing was the only thing he could do.
"I hadn't realized it had been so long." D said as cheerfully as he could manage.
Devin slowly stood, setting down the magazine he had been looking at. He was a good foot taller than D, which made him look menacing and, actually, a little evil at the time.
"How about that tour now? Even if your first day is almost over." Devin said, taking D's arm and half leading, half dragging him out of the room. D wasn't smiling anymore. Devin's attitude seemed a little… different.
"This is the massage room we just came out of." Devin said, his voice cold and void of emotion. He led D around the huge building, pointing out things and naming rooms, until they reached the cafeteria. "Would you like a drink, D?"
D took a deep breath as he smoothed his cheongsam. "Of course, Devin. That sounds good."
"Let me get 'em." Devin said, smirking as he headed into the cafeteria.
He returned a few moments later to hand D his drink. Then they decided to go to the pool and swim a little, maybe sit in the hot tub for a while.
"Where the heck could he be?" Leon exclaimed, as he searched under and around and all throughout the shop for Jar.
Jill was near tears. "Great! Just great! He got out of the shop, and D's gonna kill me! What if he's hurt? What if someone kidnapped him?"
Leon sighed. "Calm down, would ya? We'll find him."
"How?" Jill practically screamed.
"With a little help from my friend." Leon said. "Hey, Dreizehn! Mind giving us a hand?"
The tall, dark and handsome doberman stepped out of the shadows and approached them silently. Jill's eyes widened as she looked him over.
"Well?" Leon asked, smiling at Jill.
Jill stared up at Dreizehn. "He's cute."
Leon sighed deeply. "I don't care how cute he is. He's gonna help us find Jar."
Dreizehn's eyes widened and he turned to Leon. "Jarvis is missing?"
"Yeah. Can you track him down?" Leon folded his arms.
"I might be able to-"
"No mights or maybes, you hear me?" Leon exclaimed.
"Ja. Of course." Dreizehn answered right away.
"Then let's get going!" Leon said, dragging Jill to the front door.
"Wait, what about the pets?" Jill asked.
"What about 'em?" Leon shrugged. He glanced at T-chan and hurridly said, "You're in charge. Don't wreck the place and don't eat anybody."
T-chan quit growling when he heard this. Dreizehn glanced at T-chan curiously, and then followed Leon and Jill out the door, which he closed behind him.
T-chan was left to wonder why Leon had put him in charge.
D giggled. Why did he feel like this? His head…it was light and he felt as if he didn't have a care in the world.
And Devin…Devin was starting to look pretty good. With his lovely eyes and tempting lips…it was all D could do not to give in to this strange change of heart.
But yet…something about how he felt, how he couldn't seem to remember his own name, seemed awfully suspicious.
"D?"
"My name's D? Why is it just a letter? That's not a true name." D giggled again.
Devin shook his head and chuckled. This guy sure was odd when he drank too much. But, that could be considered his fault, that D was like this, right? After all, he was the one who spiked his drink in the first place.
…Across the room…
"Hey, Jada. Look at that." A beautiful brunette said, as she set some drinks on a platter and glanced at Devin and D.
"What?" Jada asked, placing some money into a cash register.
"Devin's terrorizing another guy."
"Hey, Aja, is it just me, or does this one seemed to enjoy being flirted with?" Jada leaned forward on the counter, resting her head in her hands and her elbows on the counter. Her brown hair, which was slightly tinged with red, fell into her eyes. "I need a haircut. My hair's too long again."
"It does seem like he likes it, huh? Hey, he's that Chinese dude that came in yesterday, right?" Aja said. She remembered Jada talking about a haircut. "Haircut? Your hair's too short now, if you ask me!" It was only shoulder length. Aja's hair was down to her waist.
They looked at each other, and laughed, before a man shouted, "Hey, Aja! Where's our drinks?"
"Coming!" She chirped back.
Devin and D…
Devin now had his arm around D, and they were talking, or actually, D was talking nonstop, and Devin was just listening patiently.
"So then I tell him he's the mother and I'm the father, and he gets upset and starts yelling, 'Why am I the mother? You're the one wearing a dress!' It is not a dress, by the way, it is a cheongsam. I hate when he insists on calling it a dress. But then again, he likes when I wear blue ones. I don't why, but he does. He said so. He said the likes this particular blue one with white butterflies on it, it's one of my best cheongsams, and every time he wants to go somewhere, he always wants me to wear that one. Sometimes it gets annoying, you know?" D blabbed on and on. Surprisingly, he could manage a whole conversation himself just by talking about his beloved Leon.
Before he could continue, he groaned and put a hand to his head. He suddenly looked as if he were about to faint.
"What's wrong, D? Got a little headache?" Devin smiled.
"My head…" D muttered. He started to stand, but now he couldn't even see straight.
"Let me help you, D." Devin said, standing to assist D out of the hot tub.
D groaned again. "I have never felt like this before." He tried to walk, but crumpled.
Devin just smiled. "That's ok, D. This sorta thing happens when one isn't used to drinking a lot."
D didn't hear him. He heard the pounding in his head, and willed it to go away. It didn't listen to him. It just pounded harder. What had happened? He felt fine a few moments ago.
Devin led D into D's room. "Look, here's your room. Calm down and try to relax."
D sat on his bed, and sighed, closing his eyes. "I wish I was at home, with my Leon." He muttered almost inaudibly.
Devin grunted, annoyed at this. D was feeling terrible, and he was so close to having him, and D could STILL remember that darned detective? He glared down at D.
Outside D's bedroom, Aja was walking by. She heard soft protests and louder threats, though not that many, coming from the closed door.
She was certain that it was the Chinese man that was protesting, but she couldn't do anything about it. This place had some sort of rule about 'Respecting the visitors privacy' or something like that. So she couldn't interfere, unless there was a gun or a hostage or something like that involved.
Aja sighed and shook her head, continuing on her way.
"Dreizehn! Have you found him yet?" Leon shouted as he ran after Dreizehn. He was very fast, and had a good endurance, like a dog should. This made it hard for Leon to keep up.
Leon and Jill were finally able to catch up and take a few seconds to catch their breath, when Dreizehn had stopped at a three way.
He looked first to the right, and then straight ahead. He took a step forward, but then stopped to look to the left. He suddenly had a desperate look in his eyes, but seemed to be holding himself back. He was growling softly.
"What? What is it?" Jill asked, approaching Dreizehn.
A tom cat waltzed out from behind a bush. Dreizehn's growls grew louder.
"It's just a cat! Leave it alone! We've gotta find Jar!" Leon scolded.
Dreizehn took a step towards the cat, and then looked back towards the direction he had started to go in. Glancing back at the cat, who seemed to be mewing and teasing him, he found himself trembling. He growled and then turned and ran towards Jar's scent.
Leon groaned. "Stupid cats." He muttered as he started running after Dreizehn.
Kia: Well, that's all for now! Teehee…I liked this last part. With Dreizehn, I mean. I just felt like there had to be a part with a cat somewhere in the chase, since Dreizehn is a doberman. I even thought about making him chase the cat and make the rush to find Jar even longer than it would be. But then Leon would probably blame poor Dora-chan if they didn't find Jar in time. Poor Dora-chan! He's so cute!
Leon: Well, I'm impressed, Kia. This is actually a pretty good chapter. I mean, as far as the plot and suspense and everything.
Kia: Do you really mean it, Leon? T-T I'm sooo happy! glomps Leon
Leon: Uh…That's the last time I compliment you. Now get off me!
D: gazing out the window, and muttering to himself Stupid…can't believe it…
Kia: Um, D? What's wrong?
D: Oh! Nothing! I just…disagree about Devin being the bad guy in this fic.
Leon: I agree! I don't like Devin! Didn't you notice how he was looking at you? And in the hot tub! He couldn't keep his hands off you! If it's the last thing I do, I WILL kill Devin!
Kia: Sure you will. Get off my bed! You're getting your dirty shoes all over it!
Leon: Ruin a great moment for me, why doncha?
Kia: sigh I must be going crazy. I'm talking to people out of a manga book for crying out loud! Oh well. I'll just add them to the tons of other characters from manga books I've got locked in my closet!
Leon: Can me and D have our own closet?
Kia: sigh Review PLEASE! And stay tuned for next chapter!
BLOOPER REEL! A/N: These are set as if I had filmed a movie. (Which doesn't seem like a bad idea, if you ask me. It'd make a great soap opera, or so Tiy told me!)
1) But yet…something about how he felt, how he couldn't seem to remember his own name, seemed awfully suspicious. Oh well. He'd remember it later.
Latching his arms to Devin's neck D kissed him.
"Whoa! Hey, D! What are you doing?" Devin said, pushing D off him.
"That's in the script." D answered. What happened?
Kia: from backstage Uh, D, I changed that part, remember?
D: Oh...WELL WHY DIDN'T I GET A COPY OF THE NEW SCRIPT! deep sigh I CANNOT HANDLE THIS! I QUIT!
Kia: D! door slams Uh, I can fix this…
2) "Where the heck could he be?" Leon exclaimed, as he searched under and around and all throughout the shop for Jar.
Jill was near tears. "Great! Just great! He got out of the shop, and D's gonna kill me! What if he's hurt? What if someone kidnapped him?"
Jar comes out the bathroom, stage right. Sounds of a toilet flushing follow him.
Jill sighs. "Jar, we're in the middle of filming! Did you really have to do that now?"
"Sorry, I couldn't help it." Jar shrugged. "Oh, am I supposed to be in this scene? Is that what I messed up?" Jill and Leon pratfall.
Sorry. I just had to do that! And boy did it make me feel better! Stay tuned for Chapter 7!
