Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Two Little Spiders. Enjoy the 1700-Word chapter. I don't own MM, Takemaru Inui and a few others do.

(Tarrant's house.)

Kimihito blinked as Han prepared coffee for the group, Tarrant, who knew the effects of coffee on an Arachne, had decided to drink soda.

"So, I heard you and Kimihito had a 'talk', Rachnee… How's Japan treating you since you left home?"

Tarrant asked as he continued to gulp down his soda, Rachnee raised an eyebrow, she knew Smith had probably told Tarrant what had happen.

She had come to expect the Exchange Coordinator to be someone who messed with people and got under their skin, something Rachnera was quite familiar with doing to people as she smiled.

"Fine, Tar… Honey and me just had a misunderstanding, it all worked out in the end… So, what made you get a house right next to Honey's? You find out I was here and just couldn't wait to see me?"

Rachnera teased as Tarrant smirked, exposing two, razor sharp, poison filled fangs that took the place of two of his front teeth.

"While you are my best friend ever, Rachnee… No, I didn't, I was looking for somewhere cheap, yet able to fit all of us in and this place just happened to come up… It was only on the flight down here did Smith call and tell us that you were here… She is really lazy…"

Tarrant explained as Papi was about to speak up when Sal decided to answer her question as Tarrant returned his immediate attention back to his drink.

"Some bad stuff is going on back at the Arachne Kingdom… But Tarrant still gets a lot of money sent to him… He decided to save most of the cash by buying somewhere cheap… Hence how we got here… That right, boss?"

Sal said as Tal gave a thumb up with his clawed hands as he finished the soda and tossed it into a garbage can.

"Yeah… Though, meeting Rachnee is still a pleasant surprise… Most of the guys we've met or ran into treat me like I'm the king of the world, Kimihito… Let me tell you, Rachnee is one of the only people who seems to get me… When she isn't trying to burrow under my skin."

Tarrant said as Rachnera turned her head to the side, Kimihito could swear he saw her blush as she turned to look back at the Arachne Prince.

"Well, it doesn't hurt to admit that I've always liked doing that, Tar… You're just the first one to find it nice…"

Rachnera said, seeming to trail off at the end as Tarrant blinked before groaning in annoyance.

"Damn it, I just forgot… Smith is bringing over another member to join our group… Hmm, I wonder if we're going to bump into anymore stray Liminals… Oh, sorry, Grey, you want to explain?"

Tarrant said as he scuttled out of the kitchen, Rachnera watched him settle into a web hammock in one corner of the living room that he had spun up in the time before they had sat down.

"Oh, when boss man… I mean Tarrant, gets someone stray like us that don't have a host family or so, he adopts them into the group… LIKE ME!"

Grey said, tossing his arms to the side as Han handed out coffee, finally ready to talk as the Centaur passed the drinks around.

"Master Tarrant actually predicts that our group will grow to over 10 or so members while here, he possibly predicts that we will bump into more stray Liminals who don't have host families will-…"

Han had started to say before Tarrant cut him off as he began to sway the hammock with his other 2 arms as he reclined with the first pair of arms behind his head as he looked at the ceiling.

"Considering what I heard about say, Papi and Cera… No offence, ladies… It's pretty obvious that we are going to run into more stray Liminals sooner or later… Han, you have to stop being so protectively uptight around me…. I can handle myself."

Tarrant said as Rachnera laughed as Tarrant rolled his eyes and closed all but his two main eyes.

"You kind of had to once I left, you were always getting into trouble, your highness."

Rachnera joked as Tarrant rolled his eyes once more.

"No, that was because you were always getting us into it… Hmm, speaking of trouble, Kimihito, were you having any problems like money or so wise? I'd be happy to give you guys some cash if you guys need it… Long as none of you guys go on a shopping spree and blow it all in one go."

Tarrant said as Cera, Papi, Miia, Han, Grey, Sal and Rachnera's ears all perked up as Kimihito cleared his throat and turned to look at the web hammock where the Arachne had crawled into.

"Thanks, but I'm good for now, we haven't run out of food yet… Surprisingly, besides, I still have some money left over… Even though I haven't gone back to work yet… So, thanks, but no thanks."

Kimihito said as Tarrant nodded and looked at the ceiling before tapping his lips with a claw tipped finger.

"You do know you can go back to work as long as someone is home, right? Smith probably wanted to freak you the hell out with this for a good laugh… But as long as there's a host family present, you aren't breaking the accords… Your bending them…"

Tarrant said, taking a moment to crack his neck before continuing his talk.

"If I was to be present, it would be the same as if you were there… And before anyone gets the wrong damn idea, no, I am not there to do anything stupid… Smith told me a lot of the crap you had to put up with…"

Tarrant said as Rachnera and the other girls perked up as if shot by lightning, surprised that Tarrant knew much of what they have had to gone through. Miia, however, was annoyed that Smith was probably spying on her and her darling.

It was the words Tarrant whispered under his breath that only Rachnera and Kimihito said that made her as stiff as a stick. It also made the Arachne blush lightly.

"If that director even dare does what he did to you and Rachnee… I'll make him pay so much he'll wonder if that rumor about male Arachne eating people for food was true."

Tarrant hissed, clenching his fists and clacking his mandibles together so hard that the nearly metallic clack went off like a gunshot.

"Anyway, are you guys leaving soon? I'm not rushing you out the door or trying to be rude, I'm simply wondering… Han, Sal and Grey tend to get cranky whenever someone wakes them up."

Tarrant joked as Sal slammed his tail into the floor, causing the table to slightly bounce up from the impact.

"Oh, like your one to talk, unless something super important or something you really want to do happens, your usually passed out in a web hammock!"

Sal yelled at the Arachne as he chuckled and rolled his eyes before waving his finger.

"Yeah, because all those old apartments we had before we moved to Japan were boring and uneventful… I can tell some crazy things are going to happen here… If you guys want, you can sleep over… That is, if Smith didn't slack off and forget to renovate the house for us… I told the construction crews to make it so the house is prepared for any Liminal… Or at least, I think I did."

Tarrant said as Kimihito stood up and shook his head as he yawned. Tarrant could tell that he was exhausted, even if he couldn't see him directly due to reclining on the web hammock he had made for himself.

"No, I'm good, we're going to head home anyway, it was nice meeting you guys… If you ever need us… Well, you know."

Kimihito said as Tarrant nodded and waved his hand over the side of the web hammock as Kimihito and the others started to leave.

"Yeah, I know, you guys are welcome here anytime you need to, have a good night."

Tarrant said as Rachnera stopped at the door, she smirked as she decided to mess with Tarrant at least once more before she returned home.

"You take care, Tar, I'll be back to talk later, don't get too relaxed without us around for the party!"

Rachnera said as she blew a kiss and laughed as Tarrant tumbled out of his web hammock, bounced off the sofa and landed in a multilegged heap as he blinked his eyes in confusion, he blushed a bit, not prepared for the jab Rachnera had made at him as he climbed to his feet.

He looked around to see Sal and Grey snickering as he clasped his mandibles together at them, scattering the two Liminals to their rooms as he dusted off his coat before hanging it up on the wall with his webbing. He had heard Han close the door, respectfully excuse himself for the night as he went off to his room, Tarrant groaned as he climbed back up to his hammock.

"Same old Rachnee… Hmm, she's much flirtier then I remembered her being when I was a kid… Hmm, I'm wondering how different things are going to with her and the others around… There's plenty of new adventures and other Liminals and so here… But I am going to have to return home soon… I can't let my brother rule… Not after all he's done…"

Tarrant said as he reclined in his web hammock and closed his eyes as he started to sleep as he closed his eyes, he was fully aware of the web-lines he had set up around the house.

Both he and Rachnera went to sleep, slightly thinking of each other and half wondering what other adventures would come from them being in the same vicinity.
