Hope you all enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 6

Light from the rising sun began to filter through the windows, slowly illuminating the three sleeping brothers. They were tangled together in a mess of limbs and clothes. Saruhiko lying on his right side at the edge of the bed, his his head on Riku's shoulder while their legs were tangled together. Zexion lay on the other edge, curled into the side of, and on top of his younger brother's arm . Having been in the middle, Riku lay sleeping on his back with both arms pinned by the two on either side, with his head turned to his left, burying his face into the mess that was Saru's hair. Not long after, the sun had risen to a point where it could be seen in the window, the boys were now directly within the distilled rays of sunlight.

Saruhiko was the first to stir, slightly turning his head to see what had disturbed him from his slumber. Then in a single movement, he whipped his body around, knives having appeared in his left hand before being immediately imbedded in the wall, having cut the ties that held the curtains aside, letting gravity pull them down to cover the window. However, in his half asleep state, Saru did not account for his position on the bed, and the abrupt movement that required him to roll over, had him tumbling off the bed and to the floor, dragging Riku with him as their legs were intertwined.

A pained grunt came from Saruhiko when Riku fell on top of him.

Riku on the other hand, let out a groan as his eyes slowly opened and tried to adjust to where his way. From how groggy he felt, he knew it was far to early for him to be awake. He blinked a few times as he tried to process why he was not on the couch, as that was where he last remembered being. From his eyes quickly adjusting he could see that he was in a bedroom, but his half awake mind could not tell whose it was. He knew though that he was no longer on the bed.

He finally looked down though to see that Saru was underneath him, and he was fast asleep. Riku shook his head quickly as he tried to think over everything. He wanted to try and wake Saru, but what came out was just a jumble of sleepy, slurred words.

Zexion stirred slightly on the bed, being the only one who was not engaged up with the others. Though the sound of the other two falling of the bed did cause him to wake slightly. Upon opening his eyes he had a similar reaction to Riku, as he wondered why he was not on the couch. Rubbing his eyes he slowly sat up and saw that the covers start being pulled off to the other side of the bed.

Not wanted to get up yet, he crawled over to the edge of the bed and looked down to see Riku and Saru. Without evening thinking, the thoughts in his head just left his mouth. "What the hell am I looking at?"

Riku looked up at Zexion for a brief moment before rolled off of Saru and onto the floor. He shook his head again as he started to feel a bit more awake. "I don't know! I just woke up!"

"What do you mean you don't know?" Zexion asked.

"Well do you know how we all ended up here?" Riku asked as he sat up slightly. "Cause last I remember we were resting on the couch last."

"And you think I should know?!" Zexion scoffed, still trying to understand the situation for himself.

"I don't, maybe?! You are the older of the three of us after all!" Riku retorted back.

"Sht th fk up 'm tryn to slep." Grumbled Saruhiko from his position on the floor, having been disturbed once more from his slumber.

Despite Zexion trying to be reasonable and logical with what was going on, he was still only half awake. So he did not consider the results of what would happen as he leaned over the bed and yanked on Saru's hair. "No you gotta wake up. You're apart of this too."

Saruhiko's hand shot up, grabbed Zexion's arm, and yanked him off the bed along with the blankets. Zexion fell down, without much time to react, he collided with into Riku. Both boys fell back and hit the floor with a heavy grunt.

"Dn't car. Lemmi sleep," Saru murmured out before rolling over so that he was now partially under the bed.

"Get off me," Riku groaned as he pushed Zexion off of him.

Zexion grumbled as he gritted his teeth. "Well it wasn't my fault." He turned his attention back over to Saru. "Get back here Saru. You may not care, but we do need to figure this out." He grabbed Saru by the back of his shirt and pulled him back out from under the bed.

Saruhiko swatted at Zexion as he grumbled out a response. "Hav a Zak. 'nly bed lrge 'nough." There was a pause before he continued. "Nd it smls of Clowd."

Zexion let go of Saru's shirt as he finally became more aware of his surroundings. Now that he took the time to properly look, he saw that they were in fact in Zack's room. He glanced around the room a bit before turning to Riku. "How did we end up here?"

"You're really asking me that?" Riku asked with a sigh as he rubbed his forehead. "I don't think any of us have the proper answer."

Laughing was then heard from the other end of the room. Zexion and Riku, being the only two who were sitting up, turned to see Zack standing in the doorway. He was starting to lean against the door as he laughed more.

"Man! I wish I had filmed that. All of your reactions… priceless."

A knife imbedded itself into the doorframe next to Zack's head.

Zack gaps as he jumped back, staring with wide eyes at the knife now embedded into the wood. "Hey!" he shouted as he turned back to looking where the boys were. "What was that for?"

"You're annoying," Saru answered, now fully awake enough to actually talk without slurring his words.

Zexion on the other hand, had narrowed his eyes as he stared directly at Zack. "Just how long were you standing there watching us?"

"Does it matter?" Zack asked with a small chuckle. "It was all pretty funny though."

"Why were we all in your room?" Riku then asked, catching on that maybe all of this had to do with Zack.

"Cause you guys were sleeping of course. Thought it would be best if I didn't try to seperate you guys," Zack replied as he gave a rather cheeky smile.

"So you did have something to do with this then," Zexion said rather accusingly as he crossed his arms.

"Yeah? So what if I did? You guys looked so peaceful all sleeping together, I didn't wanna ruin the moment," Zack replied with a snicker.

Riku gritted his teeth. "You really thought something like this would be funny?!"

Zack nodded. "Of course. When I see a moment of you guys being all cute and brotherly to each other, I have to take the moment and have it go for as long as I can make it."

"So you decided to bring us all to your bed when you could have just left us on the couch," Saru said.

"Nah, it was more fun to put you three here. Besides I am sure all three of you would have been rather uncomfortable sleeping away on the couch the entire time."

"At least on the couch I would have gotten more sleep. You're forgetful arse left the curtains open… again," Saru replied.

"Oh… heh sorry about then then," Zack said as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"What kind of vampire idiot forgets to close the curtains? Even if they are enchanted to not let the light harm us, it is still annoying," Zexion replied.

"Hey I forget sometimes. It happens! Plus Cloud came over to visit, so forgetting about the windows is reasonable," Zack retorted.

"Oooh," Riku said as he rolled his eyes. "That's why. You were distracted."

"It's too early for this shit," Saru stated before getting up off the floor, and quickly walking out of the room, brushing past Zack on his way to his own bedroom.

"I guess it is a bit too early for you guys," Zack commented as he watched Saru storm down the hallway.

"Yeah, you think!?" Riku huffed as he was the next one to get up and leave the room.

Zexion carefully stood up and straighten out some of the wrinkled that were now in his clothes. "Seriously, to what degree did you find this amusing? I cannot understand it." Zexion then left the room without waiting to hear Zack's answer.

It was now hours later into the late afternoon. Riku woke up and stretched, now feeling a bit better that he was able to sleep to the time he normally slept till. Though there was still the fact of needing to go out for blood. He was still thirsty, and the days were drawing closer to when he would be at his most irritable if he did not satisfy his thirst.

Once he got out of bed, and got ready for the night, he headed out into the hallway and walked down it to the front room. When he got there he saw Saru at the kitchen table looking over something. As Riku walked by he saw that it looked like a wallet.

Riku stood as stared a bit longer. "Why are you looking at some random wallet?"

"Isn't random." Saru answered while searching through the contents, pulling out an ID as well as a photo. "Well, this is interesting…"

Riku's eyes widened as he saw the face on the ID. It was the guy they had encountered just the other night. The more angered one of the two; Yata. "Wait a minute! You have that guy's wallet? How did you get that?"

"When I threw him to the ground, I swiped it from his pockets." Saruhiko answered. "But I find this more interesting." Saru held up the photo. It showed the two boys that they had met the night before with the man they fed from over a month ago. The three of them seemed to be at a carnival or fair, and were all happily smiling in the photo.

This time Riku gasped. "That's Tatara! That… that's a rather strange coincidence, wouldn't you say?" Riku finally decided to just sit down at the table, since he figured there was going to be more discussion on the topic.

"What are the odds." Saru spoke with an amused undertone.

"But wait, back up for a moment. Why did you take his wallet?"

"He pissed me off, so I figured I would leave a lasting impression."

"You can't just steal his wallet though! He'll most likely report that you stole it, and then we would have the police tracking us down. And who knows whether they are friendly with supernaturals or not!"

"It's not like he could prove it was me. They can't come after me without some form of proof. Seeing how both of them were quite oblivious, and there aren't cameras covering the skatepark, all they can do is record down the information and keep an eye out for anything suspicious from me."

"That's… That's not the point! You just stole his wallet, for what? Just to piss the guy off even more? I don't think he'll be too happy the next time he sees you. You need to return it," Riku replied with a huff. He almost couldn't believe Saru would just take some guy's wallet, then again it was Saru… it wasn't the most unexpected thing to come from him.

Saruhiko ignored Riku and instead went to study the ID card, and immediately began chuckling.

Riku sighed. "Now what's so funny?"

"His real name's Misaki," Saru answered.

"Really?" Riku asked, now a slightly bit curious about the subject matter. "So he had his name changed or something then?"

"Nope. His full name is Misaki Yata. He just goes by his family name apparently."

"Huh…" Riku said as he trailed off. He then snapped his thoughts back to what was important. "You still have to return it though!"

"Not like I have much use for his wallet anyways. Gives me an excuse to go annoy him again."

"We can look for then as we go out to hunt for tonight," Riku said as he stood up and walked back towards the kitchen. While Riku knew he would have to go out soon and hunt for blood, it didn't mean that he wasn't just generally hungry.

Saruhiko began putting everything back into the wallet the way he found them. "So when do you intend for us to head out tonight?"

"Just as soon as I grab something quickly to eat. We shouldn't leave too late if you are going to find Yata and return his wallet though."

"Tsk," Saru just clicked his tongue but didn't give any more of a retort.

So we have wrapped up another chapter full of random fun stuff. Now hopefully next time Hikari and I can be here to post together. Thanks for reading though! Let is know what you think, as feedback is always very helpful!
