*~*~*~*~*~*

Tugger's POV

*~*~*~*~*~*

The small Tom had literally jumped into my arms burying himself in my chest. I wrapped my arms around him confused. What had made him do this? It was only Munkus returning with Jelly and Jenny. "It's alright, it's just Jenny and Jelly..." Those words didn't comfort him and I found him clinging tighter to me. His hot face was buryied deep in my chest. I could feel it burning.

"Where is he Tugger?"

I turned slightly so the older Queen could see Mistoffelees. I knew my cheeks must had been red, we had both been caught. Then it hit me that was why Mistoffelees was so scared right now. "Mist, it's alright.."

Jenny knelt down infront of us giving me a kind motherly glance. For once I think she saw me as a respectable cat instead of a play boy. "What's wrong with him Tugger?"

"I don't know Jenny, he's got a fever, it won't go down. Munkus and I did everything we think of. When ever it lowered it immediately shot back up." I was working myself up in a panic now. Had I just realized that this was serious, no, it wasn't that. I've known that it was serious for a long time.

Jenny put a paw to Misto's forehead. Her eyes narrowed almost instantly she shouted for Jelly to go get her human's themoniter. I felt my heart skip a beat. They only used a human instrument when it was a matter of life or death.

"Jenny? What's wrong?"

"He never had a heat stroke. He's ill, probably with the Red Paw Fever..."

The what? I had never heard of the Red Paw Fever...sounded like a pretty patheic name. Then Mistoffelees groaned in my arms, I turned serious again and kissed his forehead.

"He hasn't had this since he was a young kit." Munkustrap whispered. Misto had it before? Great, there is another thing that I missed out on in his life. I really need to do better. My brother knelt down and nuzzeled Mistoffelees gently.

I heard a soft whisper emit from my love. Then it turned to a sob. It sounded like "no...not again.." I rocked him back and forth whispering sweet nothings in his ear hoping he'd calm down. Then I looked to the two older Cats, "What is the Red Paw Fever?"

Jenny sighed standing again, "He'll burn up like this for the next day or so. He'll need to bathed in cool water every hour. We really can't do anything for him I'm afraid, except hold him and comfort him. The fever will pass on it's own."

For the next few days? That's torture.

"Oh, Tugger, you've never had it before have you?" I shake my head. Jenny chewed on her lip thinking about something. "I hate to say this but you are going to have to leave Mistoffelees to us," Before she could say anything else Mistoffelees cried out and clung to me.

"No...please..let him stay."

Jenny sighed rolling her eyes, "I have tried to keep your influence away from him, I see I didn't do a very good job." The Queen knelt down and proceeded to take the Tom from my arms. I let her take him so he wouldn't be hurt. I felt my heart break in two when I saw the helpless glance that I recieved from my lover. His eyes were pleading for me to take him back into my arms and hold him tight.

My eyes widened as I stood straightening my fur. My body felt so empty and cold with out him in my arms. I realized just how feverish he was. Now I was cold

"Jenny," Munkustrap began, "I wouldn't do that."

 My brother was siding with me? What? Did he know about the relationship I had with the small black Tom? If so, then how?

"Why not? I will not have him scarred by Tugger. Now show me the way to his blankets. He needs to placed in a proper bed." Jenny was still cradling Mist in her arms and her captive was not happy about it. Despite the fact that he was weak and feverish he put up quite a fight. "Now, Now, shush. You aren't a kitten.."

My heart was beating fast and my emotions were going in a million directions. My mind wanted to shout insults at Jenny and then make my body grab my love back. But my heart was hurting. Why did Jenny think this? What had I done other than be myself to make her hate me like this? So I flirted with a few Queens, but I never actually 'did it' with them. I could never hurt a kitten. Never. That was agaisnt my morals. "Stop telling him to shush." Through my thoughts I heard a girlish voice break through the mess.

It was Victoria. Great, just what I wanted now. Just what Mistoffelees wanted I'm sure. One Queen was enough, but now two? Victoria blushed when everyone glanced at her. Something I had never seen her do before. "Let Tugger hold him."

Jenny stopped and I was afraid she was going to drop Mistoffelees from shock. Her pretty little perfect kitten was bad mouthing her. This was something to put down in the history books. I was afraid that Victoria was going to back down but she didn't.

"You heard what I said. I've been...spying...in here earlier and saw something that most people would shun because it's supposadly 'wrong'. But something I noticed made me see that it was ok. Tugger loves Misto and I saw proof of that when they kissed earlier." I heard Jenny and Munkustrap gasp in shock. "What made it ok," The white Queen continued, "Was that for once in my brother's life, I saw true happiness in his eyes, in him."

This Queen was surprising me to no ends. I wonder what new surprise she was going to pull out next.

"Being a Magical Cat is not easy. Expecially when he's made to grow up to fast. He's still a kitten I'll have you know, Mist still has a while to go before he's completely a Tom. But he was lucky." Victoria smiled a smile that I hadn't seen before. She walked over to Jenny and carrasessed Misto's forehead, "He found someone who loved him for what he was not because he was a conjuring Cat."

"Thank you," I felt my self whisper.

Jenny growled then handed the black Tom back over to me. It felt so comforting to feel his body agaisnt mine again.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Munkus POV

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Something was going on between Tugger and Mist. But what? I was going to have to find out. When Jenny took him I thought I saw fire in Tugger's eyes. That's when I knew right away it was not the smartest thing to do. Then Victoria came in and made a lovely speech. 

All of this happened in a huge whirl and when it ended Tugger had Mistoffelees back.

End Chapter 2
