I don't know if anyone is interested in this piece of information but Orchids in the Western flower language mean seduction.

Also I am sorry it took a week extra to update this but every time I tried to load it I couldn't, and I know it's short but it's really juicy.

Chapter 31: Pink Orchids
"Stop it already! That hurt!" Touya grabbed Tatsuha by the wrist trying to get his hand away from his nose, but Tatsuha was stubborn. Touya changed his grip into a more controlling one, and flipped Tatsuha on his back, hoping to get his attention.

"Get off of me!" Tatsuha shouted at him. He tried to get Touya's weight off but it didn't work. No matter how he tried, Touya was just a bit taller than him and definitely stronger too.

What a jerk! He deserved every drop of pain and blood from his nose!

"I'm not getting off of you until you settle down!"

"I swear if you don't get off of me in three seconds you're going to regret it!"

"Hey you guys? Are you even listening?" Ryuichi was trying desperately to get their attention.

Tatsuha tested his bonds again. He was being pressed very firmly to the ground and there was just no way he could free either his legs or his arms. There had to be something he could do.

Tatsuha glared back defiantly at the man on top of him.

"Ya? What can you do? Listen up, I'm not the type of guy who will just let you walk all over..."

Tatsuha did the only thing he could think of to shock him enough to get Touya to shut up, and it worked. Touya was completely numb. He had been expecting angry, bitter words, struggles, punches and kicking, even a possible head butt but not this.

Touya couldn't say or do anything while Tatsuya kissed him. Everything he had been planning on saying, all the anger and everything he had felt only moments before were being completely drained out of him.

What was with those two!

Ryuichi clasped his hands around his mouth making a cone to amplify his voice and shouted right into Touya's ear.

"I said, 'Aoi's here, and he took Kuma with him!'"

"Ryuichi you don't have to shout, man!"

Touya had his hand clamped tightly over his ear cradling it, and Tatsuha took the opportunity to shove Touya off of him.

"Ryuichi! It's not... I mean... it's just that..."

"You saw him? Where was he?"

Touya's face was a brilliant shade of red but he picked himself off of the ground and dusted himself off, refusing to look at Tatsuha.

"It's just that... he... I mean that... I never would have if..."

"You said something about Kuma?"

"Ya. I left him on the bed. The window was closed and locked and everything but he still came in and took Kuma!"

Tatsuha's face paled as he took in the information, that guy... this possible serial killer had been in the other room.

"Where's Narumi?" Touya pushed past Ryuichi and into her bedroom where she was pulling out spare blankets and things from the closet.

A feeling of relief stole through him seeing her okay.

"Brother, are you all right? You're red. You're not running a fever or anything right?"

"I'm fine. I'm fine." Damn it, why does she have to bring that up!

He walked as calmly as he could over to the windowsill and took a look outside. It was dangerous to get in but it could be done. He tried carefully to avoid the jacks that someone had left there. It reminded him of those old ninja movies. Well if Aoi came back in he would definitely hurt him self when coming in.

The only thing missing were marbles for the floor but nothing was ever perfect.

So Aoi was the type of guy not afraid of going in through a window huh? How were they going to protect her properly!

What a headache!

"Ryuichi I just wanted you to know that this isn't what it looked like! Touya is not my type or anything, it's just the situation... I had to... I mean I needed to just..."

Ryuichi simply gave him a big knowing smile, before lecturing him firmly. "We should be worring about catching this guy right now and now about you're budding romance."

"We are not having a romance!"
