Hello chickadees! I'm feeling very happy today so it's TIME TO UPDATE! WOOOT! Lol so0o0o0o0o0o i guess it's time to begin the chapter, huh? Ok. BEGIN!

All four of them stood in front of a small cottage. It was the only house here in the woods and it looked so…welcoming.

"They kept it here," Johan whispered to himself.

"You know this place?" Judai asked.

"Yeah," Johan said as he swallowed the lump in his throat. "This…this place used to be my home. Before I became a Hunter."

"I don't think anyone lives in it anymore," Yohan said. "Mom moved a couple years after we left."

"I know that."

"Don't start with me, you blue-haired freak," Yohan snapped.

Johan rolled his eyes and walked inside. A smile spread across his face when he saw that everything was left just like it was before.

"Just like old times," he mumbled. He and his brother wondered about the house, reminiscing old memories.

Haou and Judai gave them their privacy and sat down on the couch.

"This is a nice house," Judai finally said.

Haou shrugged as he watched Yohan. He finally put some clothes on, thank god, and smirked at Haou.

The brunette almost smiled back but forced his face to stay blank. Then he turned back to the television screen.

"Hey guys," Johan said as he stood in front of the screen. "We'll show you your rooms now."

Judai smiled and stood up. He walked next to the bluenette and into his room.

"This was my room," Johan started, "but my mom always kept an extra bed in it in case one of my friends wanted to come over."

The brunette nodded. "Ok, thanks Jo-kun."

"No problem."

"Does, Haou have a room to sleep in? I mean, he's a vampire so he-"

"Yohan's showing him now."

He sighed in relief. "Ok."

Meanwhile, Yohan was walking Haou to the room he'd be staying in. It was room that had no windows. Just lots of candles. "We don't really have any other-"

"It's fine," Haou interrupted. "Uh…th-um…th-thank you," he said awkwardly. He had never really thanked anyone before so it was a first for him.

And of course, Yohan had never been thanked. He shifted his weight from one foot to the other. "Um…yeah, uh, you're uh…welcome I guess."

Haou nodded and plopped down and looked at his watch. Two more hours till sunrise. "I'll see you tomorrow night."

"Right. Tomorrow night. Well, goodnight Haou."

"Goodnight."

Yohan walked out of the room and into his room and saw Johan walking into his room from the corner of his eye.

No matter how much he hated to admit it, he loved his brother and he missed arguing with him all day, everyday. Ever since they went opposite directions, they've never had time to talk to each other…until now.

Yohan closed his eyes and hoped that he wouldn't wake up tomorrow morning knowing it was a dream. Then he walked into his room and hopped into bed.

THE NEXT MORNING

Johan was first to wake up. He looked to his left and saw the brunette was still sleeping. He looked so peaceful, so innocent, so…adorable.

He sat up and grabbed a piece of paper from his notebook that was sitting on his nightstand. He wrote him a note telling him that when he wakes up, to have some breakfast and meet him outside.

Then he placed it next to his head.

He left the room and entered the kitchen. He realized that all the food in the fridge was expired so he threw it all out and drew the same speed rune on his arm and ran to the grocery store.

No one even noticed he entered the store he was so fast. He didn't bother paying and just rushed back to the cottage.

Yohan jumped when he saw the door open and close just as fast. He looked at Johan who was placing groceries in the fridge at normal speed now.

"Was that you?" he asked.

"Was that me what?" Johan asked.

"The door just opened and closed. Was that you?"

"Yeah, why?"

He shook his head. "Nothing."

The bluenette started making pancakes and throwing the finished ones on the plates when Judai woke up. He yawned. "Morning."

"Good morning, Ju-chan."

He smiled and started inhaling his food.

Soon, the two of them were outside and were training again.

"Ok, the most important thing about when you're fighting is knowing who or what your enemy is." He pulled out Judai's stele. "And what helps is the identifying rune. It's permanent." He rolled up his sleeve and showed him a rune that looked like a circle and line under it. Almost like a magnifying glass.

"Let me see your arm."

Judai willingly rolled up his sleeve and as Johan carved the rune into his skin, he asked, "Do runes always have to go on your arms?"

"No," the bluenette said as he put the stele back. He stepped back and took off his purple vest and white shirt to reveal runes covered over his chest and abdomen. Then he turned around only to find more on the rest of him.

"Wow."

Johan smiled a little as he put his clothes back on. "Ok, now tell me what you smell while focusing on me."

Judai closed his eyes and kept his mind on Johan. Not such a hard request. "I smell…something like…sulfur."

"Good. That's the smell of our runes. That's how you know that it's a Hunter. Now, focus on something else inside the house."

Judai turned toward the cottage. He cringed when the smell hit him. "It smells like a zoo!"

The European threw his head back and laughed which gives Judai a clear shot to his neck. It's so inviting, so enticing it's all he can do not to press his lips hard against it.

Johan recovered and wiped the tears of laughter from his eyes. "Ok, that's the smell of the Werewolves." He giggled again. "Can't wait to tell Yohan he smells like a zoo." Then he squinted his eyes shut and laughed again. This time Judai joined him.

"Ok, do it again but do it on your brother instead of mine."

Judai closed his eyes again and inhaled deeply and slowly to take it in. Then he coughed like a crazy person. What the hell did I just take in? he thought. "He smells like a corpse!"

Johan covered his mouth to stifle another laughing fit. "He's a Vampire. Technically he is a corpse. A walking corpse."

"Oh, right." He giggled.

"But anyway, that's the smell of the Vampire."

"Got it."

Johan looked at the time and saw it was nearly noon. "We should go back inside. We'll start again tomorrow."

"Ok."

They spent the rest of the day, watching movies and playing games. Well, at least Johan and Judai did.

Yohan just sat on the couch and watched TV.

At eight o'clock, Haou woke up and announced that he would be outside hunting.

"Ok, but don't go too far!" Judai called.

"Whatever," he growled.

When he returned, Yohan chuckled evilly.

"Oh, I know that look," Johan said. "What are you thinking?"

"I have an idea of a game we could play."

"What?" Haou asked as he casually wiped the excess blood from his mouth.

"Spin The Bottle. Extreme."

All eyes widened except for Yohan's and Haou's.

"I'm in," the vampire said easily. "I'm not chicken. Are you two?"

"No!" Johan snapped. "Let's do this. What do you say, Ju-chan?"

Judai swallowed. "O-ok."

"I'll go get the bottle," Yohan said as he stood up from the couch. He grabbed a water bottle and poured it into the sink. Then he put it in the middle of the circle the four of them made.

"Who's going first?" Judai asked.

"Wait," Yohan interrupted. "We need rules. Rule number one: you need to kiss for at least ten seconds. Rule number two: you need to use tongue. Rule number three: you need to tell everyone whether you liked it, hated it or in between. Got it?"

I'm not so sure I wanna play anymore, Judai thought.

Johan gulped but tried to hide the fear from showing on his face. "Ok. Let's begin. Who goes first?"

"You do, little brother."

He rolled his eyes. "Two minutes older and he thinks the whole world revolves around him."

Yohan only chuckled and watched as he spun the bottle. It landed on him. His eyes widened. "Then again, rules can be changed!"

"Nope," Haou said as he shook his head. "Rule number four: always follow through with the rules." He and his brother laughed.

"Oh, god," Johan moaned as he leaned over to his brother.

Their lips touched and Judai started to count down from ten.

They only used their tongues so much as to lick each other's lips. That's it. Nothing more.

"Three, two, one."

They both separated and went to the sink while brushing their mouths with Brillo Pads.

Soon they returned to their spots.

It was Yohan's turn. It twisted the bottle and watched in relief as it passed his brother. But the relief was suddenly replaced with excitement when it landed on Haou.

The brunette tried to feel repulsed but he didn't. He felt giddy.

They leaned in slowly and Haou almost jumped when he felt the sparks as their lips touched.

Yohan closed the small gape left and closed his eyes at the feel of Haou.

He slipped his tongue inside and he smiled when Haou moaned.

By this time, Johan and Judai were surprised. Haou just moaned.

They laughed silently as they continued to watch.

"Three, two, one."

The two were still going.

Yohan moaned when Haou literally shoved his tongue inside and mapped his whole mouth out. He was pushed to the floor and felt Haou straddle his lap, never breaking the kiss.

"Whoa!" Johan and Judai shouted in unison.

Haou opened his eyes and saw what he was doing. He quickly pulled away and got off of Yohan's lap. "Sorry."

"I-it's ok," he stuttered.

Haou spun the bottle and watched as it landed on himself. He shrugged and kissed the back of his hand for ten seconds.

"Who's turn is it now?" he asked.

"Um, I guess it could be Judai's," Yohan answered.

The brunette swallowed hard and spun the bottle. It landed on Johan.

They looked at each other and smiled slightly. They pressed their lips against each other while Yohan counted down.

Johan licked the bottom of the brunette's lip asking for entrance.

Judai opened his mouth, mostly because he liked Johan a lot but also because it was one of the rules. He had no choice.

Johan's kiss wasn't as hard or as seductive as Haou's and Yohan's. It was softer, gentler. Something to show Judai that he loved him. That he wouldn't do anything to hurt him.

After ten seconds, they pulled apart and press their foreheads together as they smiled.

Johan was about to spin the bottle again until he saw Haou and Yohan staring at each other intently. He tried not to laugh as he watched.

Suddenly, Yohan stood up and picked up Haou and carried him to his room. "We're gonna go to sleep a bit early," he called behind his shoulder.

That sent the two of them into a fit of giggles.

When they were able to stop laughing and heard lots of noises, they scurried into their rooms and closed the door so they didn't have to hear that.

"Wow, who knew a kiss could lead that far," Judai said as he shook his head.

Johan shrugged. "Ju-chan, can I ask you something?"

"Sure, Jo-kun."

"You know that kiss we shared back there?"

"Yeah."

"Well, I was thinking…maybe we could…um…maybe-"

"You were thinking that we could get together?" Judai finished.

He nodded. "Is that ok?"

Judai stood up and forced Johan on his back as he kissed him.

Johan moaned as he felt Judai's small tongue run through his mouth. Then he finally pulled away and saw those pretty brown eyes staring down to him.

"Does that answer you're question?" Judai asked.

He nodded.

Judai smiled.

Johan pulled him down next to him and switched on the TV.

"I wish we could stay like this forever," the brunette said.

"Me too, Ju-chan."

Ok, I think that's it for now. WOOT! THEY'RE ALL TOGETHER NOW! OH YEAH! WOOHOO! Lol sorry I was excited when I came up with this idea so I'm glad I finally got to share with all of you. Review plz!

ONLY THREE MORE DAYS TILL ECLIPSE!
