A/N: okay, this is great! Leigh, guess what?

Leigh: What?

Me: Muki's not asking you any questions

Leigh: THANK GOD!

Also: GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK SKULLS! I ONLY OWN LEIGH AND CHUCK!

"Why are we going to see Leigh's brother again?" Raan asks as Muki jumps through leaves. She would have loved it back home. My house was surrounded by woods… "Are you even-woah!" he cried as Muki pulled/pushed him in.

Muki replied ever-cheerily, "Yes I was listening to you but I chose not to." Raan groaned as Muki started doing her ADD thing and danced around the leaves.

I said quietly, "I really didn't want to play this card but…ha! Gambit joke!" I spoke louder, "Muki! Hurry up or you won't be able to see Chuck!" I smirked as she perked up like a groundhog. Now when can I hit her over the head with a shovel… just kidding!

"Coming!" she screamed, physically pulling Raan behind her. I might have felt bad for him if it wasn't for the fact that he seriously endangered her life twice. Three strikes, and lights out.

"Yo Nick! I thought you guys weren't coming!" he flagged us down in front of a fountain. "Who's this guy?" he pointed at Ryuji.

"That's Ryuji. He was at training, remember? Two pistols?" I hissed quietly in English.

"I'm Suguro, another friend of theirs."

"Is he your," Chuck switched to English for the last word, "boyfriend?" At the last word, as I glared, Ryuji turned beet red. Apparently he knew SOME English.

"No, he just came with us. Now do you want me to tell you or not?" he gave a quick nod as I continued. "Yes, we are in cram school. I don't know about them," I pointed at the others. "After… I almost attacked you that day; I knew I had to go somewhere safe and to learn how to control myself. I thought of Japan and found True Cross." They all paled at the word attacked. Muki even mouthed it.

"You could have told me in the beginning about that you know. You didn't have to run away." Muki squeals and claps, and all of us turn to face her with questioning looks.

Chuck whispered to me in English, "She doesn't get how dangerous you are, does she?" I simply shook my head. After that day, every time I would get a new ability, I'd show my brother.

"So cute! I wish my family was like that." Raan pats her head then she perks up scaring him shitless, causing him to fall off the rim of the fountain and into it. Of course the crazy brother/sister combo we were, we laughed at them.

"Sorry Raan!" Muki reaches in to help pull him up but he ends up pulling her in also. Me and Ryuji face palm. I started muttering some rather… choice words in French implying how big of idiots they are.

"Now do you see what we have to survive with everyday?" Chuck nods at my rhetorical question.

"Why don't we go back to the dorms for dry clothes and then for ice cream?" Charles smiles at them. He whispers to me, "Even me and Marc weren't that stupid."

"We didn't stick lighted sparklers on our stomachs. We didn't put a big beetle in an Oreo just to record it coming out. We didn't go to the end of a driveway and pull up our shorts to show people how pale our thighs were. You're still more stupid." (A/N: yes, my brother and his friend did all of that. He was an idiot during high school.)

"Good point."

We were at my brother's apartment, where he was rummaging around in one of his duffel bags for something. He pulled it out with a victorious smile. I instantly went to 'comic book nerd' mode. "X-Men? You got me X-Men?" I smiled.

"Yeah. It's funny what happens to Wolverine. He-"

"Spoil it and die, Chuck."

"Hey guys! Me and Raan are going back to our dorms to get changed!" Muki yells. She and Raan leave the three of us alone.

"It's been quiet back home without you," he told me while I was flipping through the comic. Woah! Rogue and Gambit scene! Score! I nod as he continues, "I couldn't find anyone to give these comics to. After all, who reads them these days?" he held up my the Walking Dead and Deadpool comics that I had to leave at home.

"Wade!" I cried as I took one of the Deadpool comics and started reading it. "I tried to find this here but all they have is manga and their X-men look really bad." Muki and I had gone to the mall, against my will, so we could get those ugly stuffed animals Muki had bought. Everywhere in every comic book store I looked in, I couldn't find X-men or any of the comics. Not even Deadpool or X-23! Who doesn't love the Merc with a Mouth? Seriously!

Chuck spoke up. "Could you umm… make lasagna for dinner?"

I roll my eyes at him. "Is that the only reason you came here? My cooking?" he nodded "Kendra's going to be pissed."

He laughed nervously. "Actually, Kendra broke it off with me when I said I wanted to go to Japan to spend more time with you. She said that she didn't want to get between us because we're still kind of shaky."

I threw a pillow at him as I went into the kitchen.

"So, you're Leigh's boyfriend, right?" he leaned over to Ryuji, who was probably red.

"CHUCK! IF YOU DON'T STOP HARASSING THAT POOR DRAGOON, I WILL MURDER YOU, YOU GOT THAT?

Ryuji responded cooly, "Nope, just friend."

I reached into the fridge and pulled out a bottle of whisky. "CHUCK! GET OVER HERE AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF!"

"Oops," he shrank back as he walked over to the fridge.

"Oops? You said you were going to stop drinking." I whispered.

"I was. I am. It's hard."

"Then let me make this less hard for you." I walked over to the sink and poured the contents into it as I threw it away. I changed the subject as I said, "Please don't pressure Ryuji. I supported your roommate by not saying anything about dating. Can you at least do the same for me? Support like a man."

"But I can tell he likes you."

"Because everyone wants the psychopathic demon-killing machine who makes knives when she gets mad." I said sarcastically.

"Fine," he said. "But can I at least read one of those Walking Deads while you're cooking.

I threw the first issue at him. "Knock yourself out."

Please Review! You can ask Leigh any questions!

Leigh: within reason.

Me: like I said, any questions.
