Alright, this chapter is going to start kinda strange. The first part is excerpts from the songs that the pilots played. Of course, I don't own them either and I'm not quite sure who sings all of them.I got the lyrics from my sister so if they are wrong…Gomen nasai!! Hey, I'm an author not a musician but some of them are Sum-41. Btw, Has anyone ever read the manga Hana-Kimi? I love it! And Meru Puri! They are all great. Once again, I'm cutting class to get this chapter done. I have to have chapters four and five done by Friday (MTAC!!!! Yes!!!) and I left my jump drive over at my friends house over Spring Break. I got no work done. It was very sad. O.O. Well, here it is!

Disclaimer: Are you stupid? Do I have to speak plain french? ;;

Chapter Five One Date Too Many: Part One

'Just hear me out, if it's not perfect, I'll perfect it till my heart explodes…'

'You've never been to the place inside I face my fears, It takes everything I am…'

'Cause we like having fun at other people's expense and cuttin people down is just a minoe offense and its none of your concern, I guess I'll never learn, I'm sick of being told to wait my turn!'

'I tried to be perfect, It just wasn't worth it, nothing could ever be so wrong. It's hard to believe me, it never gets easy, I guess I knew that all along. If you believe it's in my soul, I'd say all the words that I know, just to see if it would show, that I'm trying to let you know, that I'm better off on my own.'

'Caught up in your life, excuses are so lame, you may be different but I'm still the same…You say things are simple, we both know they're not.But you can't let it go.'

Kinau shuddered with pent in energy. The song began. Sweat trickled down his face from the hot overhead lights. He took a moment to feel sorry for the strippers who made their living on this stage. Duo grinned at him.

'The faster we're fallin, we're stoppin and stallin, we're running in circles again.

Just as things were lookin up you said I wasn't good enough, but still we're tryin one more time.'

Duo's guitar joined the sound of Heero's. His long brunette braid was swaying at his back. Dumbledore looked alittle angry. They had chosen this set of songs as a message to him. Kinau didn't want to go back and he wouldn't without a fight. It said that he wouldn't be their savior ever again. Apparently, he got the message. Sirius Black watched them perform with a look of wonderment and adoration on his face.

' Maybe we're just tryin too hard, when really it's closer than it is too far.

Cause I'm in too deep and I'm tryin to keep all the fun in my head, instead of goin under.'

The Lady was amused. She thought his chosen method of giving Dumbledore the finger was hilarious. Rai stood by her side on his balconey. He raised his glass of wine to salute him. He obviously shared The Lady's sentiments.

'I can't sit back and wonder why, It took so long for this to die. And I hate it, when you fake it.

You can't hide it, you might as well embrace it. So believe me, it's not easy, it seems that something's telling me,

I'm in too deep and I'm trying to keep all the fun in my head, instead of goin under.

Instead of goin under again…'

"No, I'm sorry…No, I don't want to be a popstar."

They made their way through the crowd of talent scouts with Kinau shyly declining every offer and trying to make his way up to the second floor. He had to hurry. The others were waiting for him downstairs so they could leave. Tom was waiting for him at the top of the stairs. Kinau beamed and shut the door behind him, effectively cutting off the noise of the pests.

"That was amazing, Kinau! You really blew everyone away!"

He smiled with pleasure. He had wanted Tom's praise most of all.

"I am happy that you liked it."

"Do you do these shows often?"

"Every other week on Fridays night."

"Friday nights, you mean?"

He blushed. His english was still…questionable.

"Hai."

He looked at the man before him. He had been destined to kill Tom. Lord Voldemort. If he got a hit on Tom, would he be able to do it? Could he pull the trigger? Yes. Maybe…but he would never be able to live with himself after. He could never forgive himself.

"You bounce back downstairs to your kois. I'm sure that they are missing you." Tom said with a smile.

"Alright, I will see you later, Tom!"

He hugged the older man before running back to the first floor, taking a different door than he had entered from.

Duo and Heero were waiting for him with their jackets. Quatre, Trowa and Wu-kun stood nearby patiently. Trowa ruffled his hair as he passed, lovingly. He glomped his lovers happily. The night had been fantastic! He had performed, Tom had seen and liked it and he had shown up Dumbledore! Nothing could upset him then! Fate, however, was a cruel and exacting

Mistress and apparently had other plans. Frost, the Lady's proffessional henchman, although altogether a nice guy, walked up to them with an uncomfortable look on his face. He looked as if he were about to do something he didn't want to. Or was going to vomit.

"Kinau-kun, the Lady wanted me to let you know that you date with Rai is tommorrow night at nine and that you should come here ready to go. She also said that this was a justifiable reason to miss work."

The teen's smile faded. Heero went cold as stone. Kinau didn't feel so happy anymore. His heart sank. He felt sick. Frost sighed.

"Gomen nasai, Kinau-Kun. I didn't want to be the one that had to tell you…"

"It's ok, Frost-sempai. Tell her that I will be here at nine."

He nodded, slipping quietly away. Kinau was once again reminded of the fact that he had no choice by Duo's swears and he instantly wanted to cry. Trowa touched his head softly.

"Come on, Kinau. I'll carry you home."

He hoisted the depressed teenager onto his back, following the others out the door. Quatre muttered some soothing words to him in arabic on the way. They were completely unaware of the eyes watching them leave.

OoO

Dumbledore glared at his weapon as he was carried away. Harry had certainly changed from the timid, scared eleven year old that he had been four years ago. It infuriated him.

"Damn it…"

Sirius watched the boy go with sad eyes. That child was the last of his real family left to him. He had been responsible for his friend's offspring and he had let them both down. His godson seemed so far away. So unlike his father.

"I can't believe it. I can't believe that he's…"

"Evil?" Ron supplied, angrily, " A whore to the Dark Lord and two other men?"

The Headmaster gave him a silencing look. Hermione stood.

"Harry has obviously turned. Perhaps he ran away to have his affair with the Dark Lord?"

McGonagall nodded, a grim serious look on her wizened features.

"So what do we do Albus? He's too dangerous to leave with the public."

Sirius's head jerked up. Dangerous?! He had just been defending himself! Surely Dumbledore saw that!

"We must capture and cleanse him of the dark taint of Voldemort. Harry must be in there somewhere and it is our duty to keep him safe. If the taint is too deep, however…It would be kinder to exterminate him."

He shot up out of his seat. Kill him?! There was nothing wrong with him!! Was Dumbledore crazy?!

OoO

Heero's pancakes were golden and glistening with butter at the breakfast table. Quatre, Wu Fei and Trowa had come to eat as well. And to drop off a few things. Duo slammed the mag into the gun, making him look up from the breakfast table. The pilot slid it across the table to him.

"Silver bullets. It will slow him down abit."

Kinau nodded, slipping his small 9mm out of his inner pants holster and sliding the new gun in. He handed his gun to Duo. They had traded guns. That's love for you. His brunette lover pulled his hair back into a bun with a shiny pair of hair pins, letting the rest of it free fall like an obsidian waterfall over his back. He entwined a string of silver coins in it for decoration.

"Let me guess. Stilletos and a garrote?"

"Correct."

"Awesome."

Quatre sat down, finally after tidying the kitchen back up.

"Itadakimasu."

Wu Fei helped Kinau up, and bit him to take off his shirt. Duo whistled appreciatively and Heero eyed his body with a smirk in his eyes. Quatre laughed alittle, allowing Trowa to run an adoring hand through his hair. It was a very comfortable scene. Just another morning at home. He tried not to think of how it could be shattered any day. Wu Fei was showing him how to strap a short sword as long as his forearm onto his back and hide it with his slightly over zealous hair.

He was carrying enough weapons to make the American Marine Corps hesitate.

"Hey, Wu-kun?" Duo asked.

The Chinese soldier glared at the nickname. He hated nicknames, although he tended to tolerate them better from Kinau.

" Isn't that the sword that you fought Trieze(sp?) with?"

Wu Fei looked blankly at the American. Nothing showed on his face but Duo's eyes lit up wickedly.

" It is!! I knew it! You and Trieze have a thing!! Wu-Kun and Trieze sittin in a tree! K-I-S-" Duo sang but was cut off by a bottle of syrup to the head.

Heero rolled his eyes and searched for the bump on the other man's head while Duo whined and Kinau laughed his ass off.

Suddenly, Duo's cries halted and he had his arms wrapped around Heero's waist, snuggling him. Heero looked down into his brown mischievous eyes with a heaviness in his own. Quatre and Kinau shared a grin. Wu Fei looked irritated. He pushed Heero's shirt up and licked the skin tenderly. Tasty. He nibbled the slightest bit before pulling himself away. He beamed up at him.

"Thanks muffin!"

Heero rolled his eyes affectionately. Even though the two of them seemed like polar opposites, they really did love each other. They loved each other even before he had ever shown up, Kinau recalled, with some melancholy. Would it still be the same if he had never shown up? If he had never invaded their lives? It was a somber thought. One he didn't wish to examine too intensely.

"I have a hit in just two days!!"

OoO

Rai's limo was parked outside when they arrived. Kinau's eye twitched irritably. What an arrogant son of a bitch. Apparently, the others shared his thought because they all shared a look. It was eloquent. Rai and The Lady were both sitting inside at a table near the stage. The club thrummed with energy as it always did later in the evening.

"Gozaimasu, my Lady." Kinau ground out, much to Rai's amusement.

"Konnichiwa, Kinau. I believe that you and Rai have plans to get to so I will just see you both off."

She sounded cheery as usual but still formal somehow. Kinau felt a sense of dread well up in him. He was leaving his koi's and his friends, his family, to go off with a manipulative vampire who wanted in his pants. It didn't inspire joy in him, in the least bit. He sent Rai a hard glare before hugging Heero and Duo goodbye.

"Be careful, Kinau." Heero whispered lightly enough for Rai not to hear.

He kissed the side of his face gently before backing away. It was time to let them go for now. He turned to Rai who bowed him towards the door with a smile that said everything and nothing.

They left the bright lights of the stage and the dimness of Temptations behind. Kinau slid into the car, not even glancing at Rai.

"I hate you."

"I know, kitten."

The drive was quiet and Kinau, too used to having the chatty Duo around, was pushed to fill the gap.

"Where are we going?"

Rai seemed amused.

"To Bon Temps. It's a French restaurant."

"Bon Tam…?"

Now he was definitely amused.

"Bon Temps. It's hard to say at first."

Kinau pouted making the vampire laugh lightly.

" French is not hard to learn, it is merely time consuming."

"How many languages do you know?"

"I am fluent in fourteen."

"Nani?!"

"Hai. Greek, English, Hindi, Russian, Arabic, Latin, Hebrew, French, Lorean, Chinese, German, Italian, Egyptian, and of course, my native tongue, Japanese."

"That's mind boggling."

"Hai. It is."

They chatted about languages the whole way there and Kinau found himself in the presence of a person who actually made good conversation. Rai, however he despised him, had a quick tongue and a sharp intellect that Kinau enjoyed in people. Wu Fei had the same quality. If he wasn't such a jerk, he would be a great person to hang out with and just…talk. It was a refreshing change of pace. Duo was fun to talk to but didn't share the same clipped humor and attitude. He was too goofy. Heero didn't like to talk a lot, except about other things. He did talk but it was almost planned. As if he was incapable of small talk. Quatre was too kind and gentle. He was often concerned about others to the point that he just lacked the sharp edge that Kinau enjoyed. Trowa was caught somewhere between Quatre and Heero on that scale. Wu Fei was great.

"I only know two." He said as they pulled up.

As soon as he said it, Kinau knew it was a lie. There was one that he never talked about. Parsletongue. He'd been so afraid that if he had divulged his secret, then the Order would find him. It had lived as one of his few fears for years.The driver opened his door and he could only look up at the enormous restaraunt. It was opulent to say the least.

"Wow."

"Good to know I can impress you from time to time."

Rai escorted him inside only to be met with a bustling woman in a suit.

"Monsieur Rai! Ton soeur est-"

"Je suis désolé. Diane. I am here for pleasure, not business."

Her pretty hazel eyes looked down at Kinau with surprise.

"Oh lá lá."

Kinau's face turned red and he hid behind Rai slightly.

"Diane, could you seat us instead of staring at my date? You're embarrassing him."

"Oh! Oui! Right this way."

She had them seated in record time. The place was done in pastels and white with beautiful paintings of flower bouquets. It was all done very tastefully.

"So do you own this pakce or something?"

"I'm a partner. My sister owns it."

Kinau's ears perked up and Rai smiled. He loved having the bright teen's attention.

"Sister? As in you share a sire or your blood relative sister?"

His curiousity was so adorable. It made it even more so by the fact that the curiousity was directed at him.

"My birth sister. My twin actually." Rai explained, switching to English.

Kinau sat back and thought over the concept of siblings.

"I have never met anyone with siblings before, I do not think. We never really talk about it at home. Will you tell it to me?"

"Only if you tell me more about your childhood."

Rai saw Kinau tense and considered taking back his request. He didn't want to frighten him off. Distancing Kinau would be just as bad as giving up at this point. It would be a disaster.

"I do not know…I do not even talk about that with Heero and Duo…"

"I would really like to hear it."

He was quiet for a long trembling moment before nodding. Maybe it would be good to get all of that misery off of his chest.

"Great. Well, you see, my older sister, Tsuki, was turned before me. She was a beautiful person. She could sing, dance,and play a number of instruments. She was very compassionate. When she walked into a room, it seemed to light up like a spring day."

Kinau was caught in his story. The sheer adoration Rai had for his sister was catching. It made him seem…just the tiniest bit…human.

"One day, a great nobleman proposed to Tsuki. He was intellegent and kind. We were twenty-two at the time, though she is four minutes older. We all adored him. Unfortunately, as my dear sister soon found out, he was a vampire, even though we did not know that then. With my sister's consent, he turned her. A few months later, she turned me. She said that she couldn't live forever knowing that I would die someday right before her eyes. Her husband, Christophe, was killed in the Crusades."

Kinau smiled slightly.

"You really love your sister."

He hadn't even noticed when they had switched to English.

"Hai. I do."

"Koi, are you telling stories?" A woman asked as she walked over.

She was very obviously Rai's twin. An exact replica done female. She moved with the same grace andassurance that he did. Tsuki. She draped herself across his shoulders.

"Not stories, Tsuki, only facts. Kinau, this is my sister, Tsuki. Tsuki, this is my date, Kinau."

Tsuki seemed quite thrilled with that.
