When we came back to the hotel Kisha saw that I was blushing and we had no food in hand. She smiled a great, fanged smile. "Oh! No resturaunt down there? Kumali? Could you maybe run across the street and grab us some grub?" She called.

"Of course!" Kumali was explaining her backwards wings to Nudge.

"Thanks!" Kisha gave her a quick hug then let us in. She went and pounded on the bathroom door. "You done in there yet?" She hollered.

"Yes, I'm done!" Deveann screamed.

"Then why in the Milky Way Galaxy aren't you OUT HERE YET?"

"I'm hiding from you and that horrible hair brush of yours!"

"It's not going to bite you! Come on!" There was a moment of silence and Kisha sighed. She let hey pinky nail turn to steel and extend. She picked the lock and opened the door.

"You're so extremely polite, always walking in on me when I change." Deveann sighed sarcastically.

"You're not changing, you're sitting on the edge of the tub clinging to your towel for dear life like I'd take it from you." She rolled her eyes and dragged him out.

Deveann's POV

She sat me down on the girls' bed and grabbed the brush. "You used shampoo?"

"Yes."

"And conditioner?"

"All of it."

"You should be good to go." She pulled the brush through my knotted hair and I felt like she was trying to rip my hair out.

"AGH!" I cried leaning her direction. Tears sprang to my eyes. I felt so insecure. I always felt that way around Kisha. I was the man, right? But she was the leader, she could make decisions. I sat there in a towel while she brushed my hair and I was crying about it. She pulled it through again. I pounded the mattress. "That hurts! Stop it!" I hollered. She giggled.

"You're hair usually sticks up all over the place, I had no idea it was so long!" She giggled again.

"Why is that funny?!" Iggy turned on the radio. It was the news. We didn't care all too much about what was happening outside of our personal lives but it always helped to be current. Gazzy was in the other room with Angel and Nudge playing tag.

"Listen for Itex." Max instructed. We listened carefully to what would be coming up in the next hour. It was all about some amber alert. Iggy shut it off. Fang sighed and turned on the TV. News again. Amber alert. It was all over the place.

"I guess this kid was really imprtant." Iggy shrugged.

"Turn the radio back on," Kisha instructed," I wanna listen to music." The station only played songs where people were screaming at one point. Kisha told him to leave it there. Then she went back to brushing my hair. I had almost forgotten. The next time she pulled it through I cried out in pain and was pulled off balance. I fell sideway onto Kisha. "Ah!" Kisha closed her eyes tightly. Fang laughed. I wasn't sure what'd happened until I saw that Max was covering her eyes, too. She was giggling softly. I swiftly pulled my towel back on. "Are you decent?" Kisha muttered.

"Since when have you cared?" I retorted.

"You always had pants on when I did that." She sighed like it was a good excuse for humiliating me.

"Yes, I'm decent." I said. She opened her eyes and started brushing my hair again. After a while I was numb to the pain. Kumali arrived with the food. It was good, really good. It was Hibachi Steak, rice, and Kisha shared sushi with me. She offered Kumali some but she refused. It wasn't bad, I actually really liked it accept she wouldn't let me use chopsticks so she fed it to me which made me feel like a five year old. Kumali pointed out the fact that I was still in a towel. I glared at Kisha who just ignored me. It was six in the evening but Kisha told me I should go to sleep. "Why?" I asked.

"You do want to wait for Santa, don't you?" She smiled slyly.

"My hair's still wet."

"So?"

"It'll get ratted again."

"I'll do something about that, just go to sleep." She pulled me into a relaxed hug. She stroked my hair and softly hummed to me. I couldn't make out the tune but whatever song it was, it worked. I found all conciousness slipping away.

Kisha's POV

I didn't want anyone to feel uncomfortable seeing Deveann asleep on me but it was the only way I felt that I could brush his hair without him throwing a hissy fit. Amazingly, I found that the lullabye had sent the children and Iggy into sleep mode as well. Max looked at me like I was a witch.

"How'd you do that?" She whispered, not wanting to wake anyone up.

I shrugged. "I remember you said that your mother used to sing that song to you at night." Kumali pointed out. I nodded.

"Yes, thank you for reminding me. I'd almost forgotten. I picked up the brush and ran through Deveann's hair. Without him screaming every two seconds it was over in a minute or so.

"So put him to sleep so you could brush his hair?" Kumali asked sitting on the bed next to me and sleeping Deveann. I nodded. "Why didn't you have him get dressed first?" I laughed.

"His wet hair would soak his clothes and he would complain that he was freezing. As his hair dried it began to stick up again. Fang stared in awe.

"How does it do that?" He muttered.

"Beat's me. Lookit it. It's completely tangle free." I ran my hand through his hair. "It must do that naturally."

"What are you talking about," Max cried, "That's not natural." Kumali laughed. The clock struck nine and his eyes blinked open.

"Hm?" He touched his hair. "No tangles." He looked at me. "You brushed my hair while I was asleep?"

"Yeh. When you're asleep you don't throw trantrums." He turned beat red and was about to yell at me. I smiled slightly and turned my head to the side. "Go get some clothes on." I giggled. He got up and put on the clothes I packed for him. Light blue/purple T-shirt and his favorite pair of jeans. They were ripped but they were loose, casual, and didn't fall down. He pointed to the wet spot on my shirt not wanting to adress anyconcern that I might be a little cold. "I'll change later." I told him.

I'm sorry guys I'm just so wraped up in the music I'm listening to right now, it's really beautiful. It's serene to my mind is in that calm, everything is wonderful state. I'll get back to this in a few hours I think. Scratch out what I said earlier. You don't have to review, but I'd still really appreciate it if you did. It makes me feel warm n' fuzzy inside. Kisses!
