Chapter Four

Kazahaya jerked awake as he heard a noise and realized with a flash of embarrassment that he had fallen asleep with his back against the door. For a while, his sleep clouded mind couldn't remember why he had fallen asleep like this or what had awoken him when he suddenly remembered. Rikuo killed Kyo. He still couldn't believe such a thing and he had locked himself in his room, avoiding dinner to avoid Rikuo as well. As these memories returned to him, the noise that had awoken him came again.

"Shh…" He heard Rikuo say, "We can't wake up my step brother or my parents."

Kazahaya went ridged as he heard this and silently unlocked his door. Through the wall separating his and Rikuo's rooms, he heard the giggling of a girl and he could have sworn he heard the sounds of covers shifting. Kazahaya gulped back his tears as he carefully stood and snuck out of his room to kneel down and press his ear to his step brother's door.

Kazahaya shut his eyes as tears fought through to his eyes as he listened silently, though they flew open as all of a sudden he was on the floor on other side of the door. He pulled himself up with a start, but realized that neither of the two curled up in Rikuo's bed noticed him. Puzzled, Kazahaya went closer and noticed also that the one in Rikuo's arms wasn't Tsukiko, but himself. Kazahaya smiled, relieved, and stroked Rikuo's dark hair, though jumped as a cold hand gripped his wrist.

"My turn, Kazahaya," Tsukiko's voice said sweetly. Kazahaya looked down to see that his body in Rikuo's arms had started shedding its skin to reveal Tsukiko.

Kazahaya stumbled backwards in surprise. "No…" He muttered as he shook his head in disbelief and watched helplessly as Tsukiko stroked Rikuo's hair and softly kissed his lips.

"He's mine now, as are you," said Tsukiko, "As long as you don't care for horses."

Kazahaya woke with a start as he fell over. He shook his head and sat back up; wondering what had happened that he should fall asleep in front of his door.

Everything hit him in a flood and he moaned softly. "What a dream…" He muttered as he stood to go to bed. He made sure to write down what had happened to him in his sleep before pulling the covers over him and falling back to sleep.

Okay, originally, this chapter was four pages long, but I realized two things. First, I was revealing stuff that I didn't want to (I wrote chapter five before this one) and second, the dream was way too long for how long he was asleep. Forgive me, but I will be sure to use the deleted scenes in a later chapter. Here is a small sample of what from Kazahaya's dream I deleted. Feel free to send me reviews on what you think it is!

"Won't someone help?" Kazahaya cried and then screamed as he felt a wet hand close on his arm and looked down to see that the boy in the street that was bleeding was Rikuo, his hands covered in blood and eyes crying it.

"Help me, Kazahaya," The Rikuo under him pleaded as it held up its bloody hands for Kazahaya to see, "It won't come off…It won't…"

I shall leave you puzzling over this! Also, I will use all this extra space to answer reviews!

Addicted to anime 159: I guess if you think about it, this sort of rikuo/kazahaya pairing might be incest. Though they really aren't related by blood, it's more a family tie made from papers. And you aren't the only one who wants Tsukiko removed from the story (but if I got rid of her, what would happen to the point of this story?).

LoveLandKiss: Thank youmoo !

appleton: And thank you, too!

OokamiHanyouGurl: Heh, I'm not telling! That will be revealed in the next chapter (Which was originally chapter four, but I didn't want to reveal it in chapter four so I wrote this). Be patient, my friend!

Trempush: It would be interesting if the manga Tsukiko was just like this one. Even more so after I release my next uber weird twist! You'll like this one (I hope...). It has to do with Tsukiko.

Lamenting Fox: Another hater of Tsukiko. Well, I must admit, I haven't made her very likeable. And yes, it is very good to be psychotic! Moo!

Replies to reviews on other stories:

First off, What If 1!

Tink: I'm sorry I made you hyperventalate. Takes offered biscuit

Tsuki: I very much intent to write more Legal Drug fan fictions 'cause they're so much fun! Just wondering...does anyone know when the last book comes out? The Tokyopop website doesn't have a date yet...

Shadowdown: Yup! I know it's an evil ending! And yes, it's continued pokes story above.

Trempush: Thanks for so many reviews! I like Kota too, but he and his new mothers seem to clutter the story in an almost unneeded way, so there might not be much of them in this story.

Lamenting Fox: Most people in my school don't think too highly of my being an 'interesting author' of yaoi fan fictions.

And now for Hands Off Legal Drug!

Crazy: I haven't really looked for any Hands Off! fics, but there really should be some, you know?

OokamiHanyouGurl: No, I have no clue how hard :(. Must be pretty bad if all you can find is mine. And Tatsuki found out they had powers because he saw a vision in chapter one of Kazahaya and Rikuo talking about them.

Tink: Actually, I found Hands Off 3 to be the worst of them out so far. I liked in the first two books how perverted Yuuto is and how Tatsuki acts like an ass, but really has a little bit of a hidden soft spot for Kotarou. I didn't like how Tatsuki and Yuuto changed. I also don't like Kotarou's girl friend no did I like how there was almost a lack of adventure and danger. I mostly disliked how Yuuto didn't get a turn alone on the cover! But yeah. I got the idea from how I rearanged my manga. I put Hands Off! and Legal Drug side by side and then it came to me.

Lamenting Fox: I don't really like crossovers much either. Normally, crossovers take one manga I love and one manga I hate or know nothing about to combine and I don't really like that. Also, I'm sorry for scrambling the pairings. But you have to admit, it was interesting.

Finally, Carrot Stix!

Tink: I've desided to finish up Carrot Stix on my fictionpress account.

Gylfie: Heh, you're so amusing! I sent you back a review, so now it's your turn! (For anyone wondering, I know Gylfie in real life. She was in 6th and 7th grade with me! )
