Okay, this chapter was written the way it was SUPPOSED to be, unlike last chapter, which got screwed up. I only have time for a few reviwer responses, but at the end, I plan on commenting about the chapter.

Lady Dragonnaine: I'll try for the details, but it really depends what type of writing mood I'm in. I know what you mean about the R/C! Seriously, everyone's wrting yaoi these days {shudders} As tmm-kitty gurl and Meimei already know, I recently came across a NadilRune {shudders and vomits}. Not to mention the lack of Rune/Tintlet, but that's another story...

aquajogger: I forgot to put it in the summary, but I definently plan on putting in ThatzxKitchel. Oh by the way, I really love your story 'Backwards and in High Heels'. I really hope you update it! Please?

Meimei: YAY! You love my story!

tmm-kitty gurl: Hehehehe...(revenge for all those weird e-mails)

And to all the other rabid R/C fans {coughBroteecough}: Hey! It takes time for their relationship to build! GIVE ME A FEW FREAKING CHAPTERS!!!

Had to get that out of my system....

Thanks to all m wonderful reviewers!


Raseleane walked up to Dealte. "Excuse me, but it's been twenty minutes. Where is the psychiatrist?"

Dealte gave Raseleane an apologetic look. "I can't get through to her. I'll try again in a few minutes." She banged her pencil on the desk. "Damnit! Why the heck are you chatting on the phone, Cesia!"

Raseleane backed away nervously.

Dealte tried Rune.


"Hello?" Rune answered. 'This had better not be another crank call!'


Dealte sighed in relief, sitting down and slumping in her chair. "Finally! Why was your pager line busy?"


"Ask Thatz that." Rune said darkly. "Apparently he makes in-hospital crank calls."


Dealte gaped in disbelief. "I couldn't get through... because of a crank call? What the hell!?" She smashed her fist through the desk.


Rune winced. "Dealte... if I heard that last bit correctly I believe we are going to need a new front desk. And you might want to consider getting a part timer to give you time to, off. And Silk filling in for you midnight through five AM doesn't count."


Dealte stared blankly at the hole in the desk. "Uh, right. Oh, I wanted to page you about Kitchel. She's back with a broken leg."


"Thanks, I'll be right over." Rune hung up and walked out the door.


Rune walked in, causing to Dealte jump. "How'd you get here so fast?"

Rune sweatdropped. "You always forget that my office is only a few doors down."

Dealte sweatdropped too. "Kitchel? Your doctor is here."

"Finally!" Kitchel shouted, exiting the room with Rune as a crutch.

Thatz chose that choice moment to walk in. 'What the heck is he doing with Kitchel?!'

"He's her doctor Thatz." Dealte said tiredly.

"How'd you---can you read minds?" Thatz gaped.

"No, I can read faces. Your face says it all."

"I DO NOT LIKE KITCHEL!!!" Thatz yelled.

"I think there may be people in remote areas on the far side of the world who didn't hear that." Cesia commented, as she stepped up to the desk to get her schedule. "Speaking of which, DEALTE! What the hell did you do to this desk!?"

"Nobody said you did, Thatz." Dealte said quickly. "And Cesia, I can explain."

"How?"

Dealte pointed to Thatz. "It was his fault!"

Cesia slowly pivoted until she was looking at him "Thaaaaatz!"

"Uh, you have patients! Tend to them! Gotta cook!" Thatz whizzed out of there as fast as his legs could carry him.

"Right!" Cesia said cheerfully. "Rath!"

Rath jumped up. "That's me!"

Dealte sweatdropped. "Cesia has definitely been spending too much time with Rune."

Rune poked his head out "Thatz? Where?"

Cesia raised an eyebrow. "Why are you hunting him?"

"He grabbed a patient right out of my office."

"Well, leave it to me. I know this unlicensed surgeon, Birrez, who I could always threaten him with."

"Oh, good." Rune's head disappeared.

"C'mon, Rath, let's go to my office.


Rath sat down on a big cushy chair in Cesia's office, and looked cheerfully around the room. Cesia sat on a normal chair opposite Rath.

"Alright, Rath, so...you want to kill yourself?"

Rath's cheerful look suddenly vanished, replaced by a serious air. "That's right."

"Why? From what I can see about your family, you have many people who love you! Why would you want to die?"

Rath frowned. "I'm a demon. They only pity me. They don't really love me at all."

Cesia stood up and frowned. "So it's people pitying you that has you bothered? Well don't worry, Rath because I don't pity you at all."

"Why not?"

"Well, genius," Cesia said sarcastically "In case you haven't noticed, I'm a demon too. There has got to be more to your reason for suicide than that."

Rath sighed. "I care about them, okay? What if I lose control? What if I kill someone? I couldn't live with myself."

Cesia rolled her eyes. "What if the world explodes? What if Rune's hair turns blue? You can't just go around 'what if'ing things. As for not living with yourself, it seems you can't live with yourself now. So why don't you wait to contemplate suicide until after you've killed someone?" As soon as she said that, Cesia regretted that.

"And leave them with two deaths? Never!" Rath stood up too.

"You are already upsetting them with your own possible death!" Cesia yelled "Listen you. You can struggle and try, but I am not letting you die." ((A/N: Crap, that rhymes.))

The seriousness of the moment was ruined by loud crashing downstairs.

Rath raised an eyebrow. "What was that?"

Cesia was just as baffled. "Well, Rune's office is downstairs, why don't we see what's going on?"


They entered Rune's office to see the doctor smashing a chair against the wall, and yelling, while on TV was...

Rath blinked "Lord of the Rings?"

"Help me, Rath!" Cesia yelled, trying desperately to pull Rune away from the wall and chair. Between the two of them, they managed to restrain him, and yank him out of the room.


Within a few minutes, Cesia was back in her office, this time with Rune in the comfy chair. "Ano, Rune? Why were you so mad?"

"One word." Rune said darkly. "Legolas."

Cesia frowned. "You mean that elf guy from Lord of The Rings?"

"Yes." Rune said tensely "He's an elf, I'm an elf. We both have long blonde hair. But he," Rune smashed his fist into a side table. "-doesn't get mistaken for a girl all the time!"

Cesia sweatdropped. Suddenly, Thatz popped up. "That's because he doesn't look like one!"

"THAAAATZ!" Rune jumped up and ran after him, leaving Cesia in her office.

"Hmmm. Now, what was Birrez's number again?"


The whole Legolas joke was actually based on a real event. tmm-kitty gurl, I belive you know what I'm talking about....

You see, I was complaining about how Legolas and Rune are very similar, but nobody accuses Legolas of being a girl. So then T-chan said: "That's because he doesn't look like one."

I just though it would be a funny thing to put in.

Next chapter (which I've already started!) Lunch! Bum bum bum!
