Ok! Here we go! Hope you like it~

"Da! Is what I say, come work for me!" Ivan said grinning widely.

"I-Um-Well, you never even told me what you d-do aru?"

"Ha! Nyet, not "MY" work, I mean become my personal chef! You see, my recent chef umm… "Quit" on me a few days ago, so now I need a new one da? And you say you want to be chef and cook da?"

"Well yes I-"

"Then there is no argument! You will come work for me!" He said feeling as though he had just claimed the world as his own.

"Uh…" Yao blushed at the sudden outburst of the man. Too many thoughts were running through his head at this time, his mouth couldn't come up with any words.

"What do I do aru?" He thought desperately to himself. He looked back down at his hands. "This is an opportunity of a life time aru; you can finally get out of that wrenched business."

"What about Winter?" His conscious spoke again.

"What about, Mr. Winter aru? I-I can't go back to him when I have been given such a promise."

"Ah, but you promised Winter that you would return to him in two days yes? He likes you a lot; he's the only one that cares about you. This Russian doesn't wont you; he probably is going to drop you off in the middle of the street, alone with no-one like everyone else."

"Your right aru…" The Asian accidently said out loud.

"Hmm?" What was that little Jao?" The Russian said still smiling.

"I'm so sorry aru. I can't take up your offer. It's is very kind Mr. Braginski, but I can not let my other boss down, not now aru."

"BUT!" Ivan raised his voice but quickly lowered it a bit seeing as he frightened the Asian as he yelled it.

He bit his bottom lip. "I just….Err…You seem like it would be a waste not to hire da? Your boss is lucky he got to you first." He frowned, sadness filling his voice.

"Sorry." Yao stated almost robotic like. "He is a terrifying man aru." Yao thought. "But… he should have been my way out."

"W-We are here sir." Toris said as he stopped the limo in front of an apartment building.

Yao was just about to open the door when his arm was grabbed. He quickly turned his head to the Russian.

"Let me get the door for you da?"

"You don't have to-"

"I want to…" he quickly interrupted the smaller man.

Yao gulped, nodding.

The bigger man got out on his side closing the door. He opened Yao's side and reached out his hand for the Asian to grab it.

Yao reluctantly grabbed the mans hand, gasping as he was almost ripped out of the car harshly, the taller mans grip tight as he pulled quickly, making Yao lean into the Russian's body. Griping onto his overcoat as he was afraid he was going to fall forward.

He looked up craning his neck almost all the way back as he stared at the smiling violet eyed man. Blushing as he noticed he was right up against the man he quickly pulled away.

"I-I am so sorry aru! Y-You pulled me really quickly and I didn't- I am rambling, I feel so embarrassed aru."

Ivan gave the man a soft smile; his eyebrows tilted only a little.

"You worry too much Jao. You are too quick tempered, uptight; you should learn to be calmer da?" His smile got wider.

"Ehh! D-Did you just insult me aru? How rude! I don't have to take this from a man I don't even know. Thank you for the ride saving me and the job offer now goodbye aru!"

The small Asian stomped away, little puffs of smoke admitted from his head in anger.

"What a jerk aru!" Yao screamed in his head.

"Ah~ Wait little Jao~ I like it when you do that it's so cute!" Ivan quickly ran over to the Chinese man, grabbing his shoulder and turning him around.

"Hey! You just can't-"

Again he was interrupted as a card was shoved into his face.

"W-What's this aru?" The man knitted his eyebrows as he read the card out loud.

"Yiwan Braginski, business man aru. Call 114-7-1905"

"Da! If you change your mind about working for me, my offer will always be open to you."

"You would still want me to work for you aru?"

"Da… I still want you…" He said eyes half lidded as he stared down at the Asian.

Yao took the card and put it inside his pocket.

"I will take it into consideration aru." He gave a wiry smile.

"Ah~ that is good to be hearing da? I will hope to be hearing from you." He quickly gave the smaller man a quick hug and dashed off to his limo before the Asian could get a word out about the hug.

Ivan waved. "Bye-bye Jao! Come visit me anytime da?" He got in and the car was off.

Yao stood there… dumfounded. A huge blush placed on his face.

-In the Russians car-

"Hmm." Ivan thought out loud.

"Sir? I-Is there something wrong?"

"Toris." He said his voice deeper then usual. "Get me all the information on Wang Jao that you can find. Have Eduard and Raivis help you."

-And still out side was Yao-

"He was…so weird aru." He shivered. "Plus he gave me the creeps but…" He took out the small business card in his pocket and stared at it.

"Was this an opportunity to get out?"

He walked into the building and said hello to his landlord.

"Oh Yao, There is someone here to see you." Said the man behind the counter. He had glasses on, semi-long brown hair with brown eyes. A long downward curl extended from the left of his head. He looked quite young but mature.

"Huh?" Yao turned to him. "What do you mean Ben? What did he look like aru?"

"He had very short black hair and dimmed eyes that almost seemed hazed. I think he was of Japanese origin."

"W-What? Where is he now aru!" Yao yelled running up to the younger man.

"I-I let him into your room, h-he said he was y-your brother! Please don't hurt me!" He was mature but a scardy cat sometimes, hates conflict.

Yao quickly ran up to his room, slamming the door open and there, sitting on his couch he saw his brother…

"Kiku…" He said as he watched the younger man look over to Yao. The Japanese man was holding a picture of all of the Asians family together. Its was with Him, Kiku, Young Soo, Mei-Mei and Hong.

"Hello dear brother." The black haired man spoke, getting up and bowing to his older sibling.

"What are you doing here aru?" He said with a bit of hatred in his voice.

"I came to see how you were doing."

"Fine. Can I get you some tea?"

"No thank you, I am fine." He sat back down on the couch, his emotionless face still calm.

Yao came over and also sat down far on the other corner of him. Yao had not seen Kiku since he left with the others. Kiku hurt the most, his hurtful comments and emotionless demeanor, along with the fact that he cut the Chinese man on the back with his home made katana hurt even more.

"What did you really come here for aru?" He stared at the wall.

-Sigh- "Everyone is worried about you. They said you entered the prostitution business for money, but I didn't believe it and Soo basically protested the whole rumor with a passion."

"I did aru." He said quickly.

"Why would you do such a thing to your own body… It is disgraceful."

"Disgraceful! Do not talk to me about disgraceful aru! You and everyone else left me and you gave me a scar, REMEMBER? THAT WAS DISGRACEFUL ARU!" Tears filled his amber eyes. His face flushed with anger.

"Hmm." Kiku got up and bowed once more. "I am sorry for the intrusion; I will make sure to tell the others that you are doing fine."

"Good, lie to them aru! Now get out!"

Kiku nodded as he opened the door and just before he left, without turning around Yao heard those words.

"Sorry."

Then he was gone. He was gone again like how time passes. It comes and goes in the blink of an eye.

"Good riddance…I don't need him…I…" Tears again pouring down his cheek. "I don't need anyone aru."

The next morning Yao woke up with a huge headache. He lay on his mattress; his long ebony hair flowed almost gracefully down his back as he slowly got up.

"Aiya, I feel like crap aru." He rubbed his head. "Eh and I still need a new hair tie, good thing I have no work today."

He took some Tylenol and got on a green mandarin jacket this time, his regular black pants and his slipper shoes. He never cared much for sneakers, he likes to stick to his Chinese heritage and wear the comfortable flatware.

He walked out his door, as he placed the money in his pants. He had been saving up his money to buy something he really wanted; you see awhile back he was walking home and passed a small store. It had a huge stuffed panda in the window, but it was about 200 dollars. It was totally worth it though because Yao loved pandas and it was REALLY huge!

Yao walked down and said goodbye to Ben and just as he was about to walk out the door it opened before he could get it, Yao couldn't catch his balance so he came tumbling down on the innocent man that was just about to walk in.

Both fell down, Yao on top of the man as there was a loud grunting sound that emitted from the man below him.

"Ah! I am so sorry aru!" But then he finally got a good look at the man. It was the Russian.

"M-Mr. Braginski aru?" He questioned.

"Please Jao-Jao, call me Ivan ok?" He smiled rubbing his head.

"Uh, What aru? Wait; first tell me what you are doing here again!"

"Hmm~" The Russian smiled. "You know Jao, with you on top of me like this I can't help but get hard da~"

"Huh?" Yao had finally noticed the position he was in, his legs spread on either side of the bigger man as he clung to him like a child clinging to his mother. He could feel the hardness below the cotton pants the man was wearing so he knew he wasn't lying.

"Aiya!" Yao yelled and quickly and got off him standing straight up. Y-You big nosed old perverted man!

"Ah~ that's not very nice Jao~ I am only 21." He giggled standing up, brushing himself off. "I can not help it that you are so beautiful~"

"21? You are only 21 aru?"

"Da! How old are you?"

"Uh..That's very rude to ask…I'm 23 aru." He said in a low whisper, blushing.

"Ah? Your older then me! Ha-ha, so you can't call me old now Jao-Jao."

"Stop calling me that, now what do you want aru!" He yelled again. "What was this, the 50th time I asked you aru?"

"Well, I wanted to make sure you were ok since what happen yesterday and all."

"I am fine aru, now please be as kind as to leave me alone, I have a lot of errands to run today."

"Can I help?" Ivan asked the smaller man.

"Help? Don't you have work or something aru?"

"I could say the same thing to you da?"

Yao's face flushed with embarrassment. "For your info I got the day off aru." He began walking away.

"Hehee, so cute!" Ivan laughed running to catch up with the Asian.

"Da! And I run my own business so I can take off all I want."

"Ok Mr. boss man, then why do you want to help me aru?"

"Because I like you."

Yao twitch. "Don't say such things aru, especially when you don't mean it."

"Ah?" Ivan tilted his head in confusion. "But I really do da? You are pretty and funny and so adorable~"

The Asians eyebrows twitched in aggravation. "Well what if I say I don't like men aru."

"That does not change how I feel and if you don't I will make you like men da? Russian men like me!" He smiled like a little kid.

"You are ridiculous. Stop following me and go home aru. I said I would call you if I changed my mind."

"Da…but maybe I can help change your mind faster!"

"Sorry won't happen aru."

"Ah~ There's that cute stubbornness again."

-Sigh- "I don't care anymore."

The Russian smiled happily as he followed the man like a little lost puppy. Hm, bad choice of words, I should say very big puppy.

"Oh no!" The Asian yelled as he ran up to the store that had the giant panda.

"Huh? What's wrong Jao?"

"Uh…Well there was this giant panda that they had. I had been saving up to get it but it looks like it was already bought aru. And it was so cute aru."

"You like pandas da?" The Russian questioned, slyly writing it down on a piece of paper and stuffing it back into his jacket before the Asian could notice.

"Yah. I really do aru." He looked up at the taller man with sadness, than placed a fake smile on. "It's ok though, I can always wait for a new one to come out aru."

He began to walk on ahead of the Russian.

Ivan took a look at the store carefully before following the ebony haired man again.

"Now where are you going?" He questioned.

"To get a new hair tie, I lost my other one aru."

"Oh? But your hair looks nice down da?"

"I hate it down aru. It is so bothersome."

As they were walking the Asian started to get weird looks. People began whispering and some ran away as he got closer to them.

"Hmm?" He was confused, what was everyone so afraid of? He looked behind him only to have the Russian basically right up against him with a blood stained lead pipe in hand.

"The heck aru, you can walk around with that!" He yelled stopping and reaching for the pipe.

The Russia gave him a confusing look and lifted the pipe above his head so the Asian could not reach it.

"What do you mean da? It is to protect you."

"I don't need protection aru, your going to get us in trouble for having that thing out aru!" He desperately tried reaching for the pipe going on his tippy toes. "Gah!" His ankles cracked. "Why are you so tall aruuuuu!" He whined.

"Heehee." The silver haired man giggled again.

"Grr." He growled. "Fine! Do whatever you want aru! Jeez what is wrong with you, you are insane!"

"Da! I have heard that before." The smile widen.

-After a long and very aggravating day, Yao was finally able to get his hair tie with the Russian's help. Somehow Ivan had convinced the Asian to come over to his house for a little. In fact Yao had no idea why he agreed.-

"W-Wow aru." The Chinese man stared in awe at the giant mansion in front of him.

"Please, shall we go in?" The taller man asked, pushing the man to walk in.

Unbenouced to Yao, one of Winters Henchman had noticed him walking into Ivan's house.

-At the Brothel-

Winter sat at his desk, rubbing his temples.

"Err…that stupid Russian." Winter growled. "How dare he give me such a bill, he will pay one day. I mean, he is such a little brat."

"Mr. Winter sir!" Came in a man wearing all black, the one that saw Yao walk into Ivan's house.

"What is it now?"

"It's Yao! I saw him walk into Ivan Braginski's house!"

"What?" Winter growled angrily. "Are you sure it was him?"

"Yes sir, I am positive."

"Curse that Man…I wont let him take this one. He is mine." Winter got up from his chair and stared out his window.

Winter then smirked evilly to himself. "When Yao comes back, Ill make sure he knows who he belongs too."

Ok! Sorry this took so long, really. This chapter is not so good cause I needed something in between before the plot really starts to boil. Well now, what evil plan does winter have planed for Yao? And just when Yao started to feel better, will that all go down hill? Or will the brave Ivan be able to save him!

Please stay tuned.

Ben the landlord is my Oc Pennsylvania! He made a random appearance~ Hooray!
