Sorry, I lied again...well i said "should" but no...this is a short interlude before the party, i still have to expand on the damn thing...i started skool so i have to focus a lot of attention there...plus i've had writer's block and wanna hear the kicker...this story was pre-written in a notebook...but i hate to type something from paper to word doc...it takes me forever..i can belt out ten pages free thought in twenty minutes...but it takes me twenty minutes to type two pages that i have previously written..it sucks...sorry...i apologize...and i'll work on the party as soon as i can!
After I put Quatre in the master bedroom with the cats, my friends and I retired to the parlor.

"Well," Heero started. "What is his name and where on earth did you find him?" I smiled, it was strange. Ever since Quatre came into my life, I smiled more.

"His name is Quatre, he's six and I found him in a whorehouse. Remarkably, he was being protected by a Shinigami."

"Interesting." Wufei murmured. Heero nodded in agreement with their Chinese friend.

"I am assuming you two have heard about my party?" Heero smirked. "I'm glad you're here now, I've been wanting to catch up."

"Now we want to catch up, you're housing a human." It seemed as if they were highly amused by my pet. "How, pray tell, are you going to keep him safe at this party?"

"I'm never letting him out of my sight. Besides, it's rude to eat the child of one's host." The two nodded. "I am one of the oldest. Most over a millennium have went to sleep sans Millardo and Master Treize." Treize was a 15 hundred year old vampire who had created the three of us. The topic switched once more when Wufei asked.

"Tell us more about him, he's beautiful for a child his age."

"I do not know much more, I just wanted the blood of a child. So I went to a whorehouse and picked him out. He told me he didn't want to be there anymore so I took him."

"Hm, and you say a Shinigami was there." Heero started pacing. "I want to meet this God of Death. Which whorehouse was it?"

"I'll give you directions later, Quatre is coming."

"How do you know?" Wufei was intrigued.

"Kenji is brining him." As if on cue, we heard the shriek of Quatre's giggles. The child entered the room on the back of the black panther.

"Who are you?" He looked at Heero and Wufei then looked at me."

"Quatre, manners." Maddie entered the room from almost nowhere with a trolley. She had three flutes of blood for us vampires and a sippy cup of chocolate milk for Quatre.

"Thank you Maddie." I dismissed her and the three of us got back to catching up. Quatre climbed into my lap with his cup. I ran my fingers through his pale hair, I could hear him almost purr. His eyes looked at me, I could tell he wanted his book.

"Do you want your book?"

"Yes, sir. I'll be good." I smiled and looked at Wufei who had been absently looking at pages.

"Wufei, if you would be so kind, Quatre would like the book back."

"Yes, of course. Here you are Quatre, I saved your page and I'm anxious to know what you make of the book." Quatre grinned. I set him on the floor and he and Wufei got into a discussion. I looked to Heero.

"Have you seen Treize lately?" Heero shook his head.

"No, but I can't wait to see him. It's been so long. Your little one is so bright. It's been so long since Wufei has been so animated, you know how he loves books." I nodded, in fact the library was there for Wufei. He and Heero were like my brothers. Heero shook his head. "I still can't believe it, they had him in a whorehouse. He is very young."

"Yes, but he's an orphan, so the Shinigami told me, a perfect candidate to be my ward, don't you think?"

"Oh yes, and how is it living with a mortal."

"I'm enjoying teaching him." I looked to Quatre who was listening intently to something Wufei was saying.

"By the way, do you still have our old caskets? Ours will be arriving tomorrow." I nodded, I had kept their caskets, in fact they were in the room next to mine.

"I take it you're ready for bed?" He nodded and commented on how I was always able to read his thoughts. I stood. "Quatre, bedtime." He looked at me then looked back at Wufei.

"Sorry, Mr. Wufei, I have to go to bed." Wufei nodded and looked extremely surprised when Quatre gave him a big hug. "Thank you, you've taught me so much."

"You, are very welcome. We'll speak more tomorrow night." Quatre nodded and ran to my side.

"I'm ready to go to bed Trowa." He held up his arms and I picked him up.

"Follow me." I led them upstairs to the suite of rooms their caskets were in. "Here we are, we'll be in the master bedroom."

"Does he sleep with you? In your coffin?" I nodded and left them agape.
