"Is that fucker James around?"

"No. And I told you to not call him names. At least not in front of me." Alex huffed at Phoenix over the S&H Hill Diner phone. "I'm sorry snuckums~"

"Shut up..I hate it when you call me that."

"Whhhhhhhhhy?"

"'Cause you dont mean it. So stop being such a- Cutie!" Alex quickly put on his 'bottom' boyfriend voice as James walked in. "He's there isnt he? I gotta admit though; You sound really cute."

"P-Phoenix!" the blush and stutter that eruptted from Alex made James smile at Alex's happiness but narrow his eyes at the name. "I'm serious!"

"Stop playin Phoenix!" Alex giggled nervously. "Man if I wasnt with Jin, I'd wreak you." Alex gulped as he pictured the others cocky grin and pulsing green eyes. "Hey Alex? Can you help me with these bags?"

"Oh! Sure Jaz! I've gotta go babe~ Love joo~"

"Love you too, Al-icous"

And with that purr of 'Alex' and 'delicous' mixed together, the line went blank. For a second, Alex wondered if Phoenix really ment any of what he said. 'Jin wasnt there...'

"Man if I wasnt with Jin"

'Or he wouldnt had said that..Can he really like me?'

"Alex!"

"Sorry!" Alex yelped, running over to James. "Sooo that was Phoenix?" James asked noncalautly, passing Alex the milk he...well cant really say brought. "Yeah that was my Big blue." Alex wistfully said, grabbing the milk and hopping to the kitchen. "You like him a lot huh?" James sighed. "He's sweet, he's cocky, he's-"

"-so fucked up." Jin told Victor. "What do you mean?" Victor glanced his blue/gray eyes over to his brother on the other side of the couch. "He's playing with that blond human!"

"Alex."

"Yes,yes..." Jin huffed off his brother. "Your not jealous are you?" Victor smirked at Jin's sudden fluster-ness. "No! I'm not!"

"Why are you so nervous and jumpy then?"

"Because...-"

"Not an answer."

"To be accused of such emotion when I'm with James is..."

"Shocking?"

"Yes shocking. Thank you Phoenix." Victor watched in amusement as Jin absetmindly flicked his wrist at the older behind him. "Anytime bro." Jin double took at Phoenix making his way around the sofa. "Gotta admit; It's nice to be outta that creepy ass hotel. Alissa did a good job finding an intact house near here." Phoenix sat on the table in front of his two brothers. "Sure did. Though, I cant help but wonder who use to live here; A small farm house." Victor looked from Phoenix's shrugging figure to Jin's worried face. "Hey I doubt their around here anymore. We're here. That's all."

"Yes but...No pictures, no records...no nothing." Jin sighed. "True enough. It's-"

"Unsettling?" Sora offered, leaning on the kitchen/living room doorway. "Scary?" Alissa offered next, popping up next to her sister. "Or plain ol' wrong?" Cybil took her stand next to the small school girl and the bloody nurse. "All of those pretty much sum this house up." Victor said as he sunk more into the corner of the sofa and looked around the house. "I agree. Somethings not right." Jin leaned back as well. "You guys are way to supersitious." Phoenix leaned forward, ruffling his hair. "We're blue, blood red, and mango haired killers, Sora is a dead nurse, Cybil is an ex-cop that had to go through...Lets say her 'Angel Myers' stage and Alissa...is Alissa. I think we all have a right to think something's up." Victor watched as Phoenix face looked over his brothers and sisters.

"The more you think and say there is something, the more it will turn out as such. I'd advise everyone relax." Phoenix sighed out, closing his eyes and not seeing the shocked faces of his family. 'He...he's so calm. He's trying to calm everyone down.' Jin smiled. "Phoenix is right. We must all be and stay calm." Jin added, smiling at Phoenix's now shocked face. Victor and their three sister grunted in agreement."T-Thanks Jin."

"Anytime."

~~Ealier with Phoenix~~

"Did you mean that?" Phoenix jumped at the sound of his sister's voice. "How long have you been there?" he narrowed his eyes. "Long enough. Dont dogde the question: Did ya mean what you told blondie?" Sora watched Phoenix brush his nose, a nervous habit he didnt think anyone knew. "Mean what?"

"The whole thing about Jin, and ya know, wreakage?" Sora's yellow cat eyes smiled through her droopy bloody bandages. "W-No! Of course not! The kid's cute and all but he's not Jin."

"Whatever you say 'Nix." Sora fixed her nurse hat in her short, light brown, spikey hair.

"Youuuu can go and bother Victor or somethin."

"Nope I think this is way more interesting. Do you like him?" Sora stalked closer. "No! Now I'm goin' downstairs so leave me be!" Phoenix hissed and blushed furiously, stomping downstairs. 'I dont I dont I dont! No but Jin..right?'
