A tall, huge, brutal looking male stood before a crowd, his wild black hair standing on end, his flaming red eyes staring around at the crowd. Behind him he had built a cubical with one door. "Come one, come all, come see a real like angel, held in captivity! Just 5 bucks to see the angel, talk to him, ask him questions, see him spread his wings!"

Inside the cubical, sat Caleb, his wings were pressed against the cage, he really could not spread his wings. The bird like cage kept him tight in it, he sat at the bottom of it, tears slid down his beautiful face. He quickly wiped them away, so that his owner didn't see and whip him. Oh how he wanted to be free like the people that pressed their faces in on him day after day after day. Some of them laughed at him, some talked to him like a bird, trying to get him to repeat what they said, some would pay the man that owned him to pluck out his feathers as gifts. He had long forgotten what happiness was.

After an hour of walking around the city looking for the mall, and after getting his supplies, Quaridan walked past the shop and heard what the guy was saying. He stopped and looked at the man. "An angel, you say?"

"Yes sir! Come this way! Only 5 bucks for a peek and..." He lowered his voice. "For a bit extra, I'll let you pluck a feather." He winked at the male.

"How about for a little bit extra, I get more than a peek. I would like to talk to him, if you don't mind that is." Quaridan smirked.

"Oh you can talk to him through the cage, your peek can last as long as you'd like, really." The male replied, he leaned in closer, getting an idea. "But if you want some real alone time, it'll cost you much more...if you know what I mean."

Quaridan chuckled. "Yes, I do see." he said, giving the man the five. "If I feel I want something more, I'll let you know." Quaridan said, walking into the room.

Caleb looked up for a moment, then looked away. His feet and wrists were shackled with golden shackles, holding him to the floor. His wings were bound with wire and shackles. He rubbed his tears away with his shoulder.

Quaridan kneeled down so he was eye level with the angel. "How long have you been in here...?" he asked, his voice had a nice tone to it, unlike his usual unemotional tone.

Caleb looked slightly up at him. "Four years." He replied softly, then looked back down.

Quaridan looked at Caleb's wings, then back to his face. "Would you... like to be free?" he asked.

Caleb sighed. "That's impossible..." He murmured. "Listen if you're here to pluck a feather, then could you please take it from the right one? My left one is sore."

"I want to help you, not pluck a feather." Quaridan smiled gently. "And nothing is impossible for a demon." he said.

"I'm not one though." Caleb shook his head sadly.

"But I am." Quaridan said. He got up and smiled. "I'll be right back." he said, walking out and over to the man. "How much is he, for me to buy him from you?" he asked.

"Oh he's not for sale. You could never pay me the amount I am getting for him. For his feathers and for the private time with him." The male smirked.

Quaridan smirked. "Just name your price, or I will find a way to get you in trouble legally." he said. "Or I'll just have to take him myself." he said, being 100% serious.

"You can't get me in trouble, I've paid off all the cops in this area." He laughed. "And I dare you to try to take him. I will have you arrested."

"Hmm? Bribing an official of the law, eh? Tsk tsk, that's a crime. And I have immunity in three different countries. Theres many places I can go." Quaridan said, taking a step towards the man. "You don't scare me. Your pathetic. If your human, probably the most pathetic I've ever seen in all my decades." he said until he was only an inch away from the man's face. "And besides, how can you call the cops if your dead?" he asked, his eyes were starting to glow.

Ruhan slowly walked around the mall with his hands behind his head. "Ah, sweet freedom. About time I got a turn."

Faran appeared beside the demon as a spirit. "Why are we here? You hate being around crowds and you hate people in general."

Ruhan glanced over at the owner of the body he was using. "I just wanted to take in the sights, buy a few things, kill a few people." He said this last part with a grin.

Fara shook his head, then noticed a small crowd. "Hey, what's going on?" He floated over to them, being thankful that no one, but Ruhan could see him like this.

Ruhan sighed softly and followed him. "Stupid host."

"I dare you to try, someone will call the police if I don't. You will be taken down." The male growled.

"I haven't yet." Quaridan said. He sensed something else near him, though he couldn't see it. He decided to go for it, and started to change into his demon form, of course, right in the middle of the mall. At that moment, he really didn't care. All he wanted to do was to help Caleb.

The owner of the Angel chuckled and watched him race away. He walked back to the angel. "I swear if you leave I will hunt you down and rip your wings off."

Faran saw the demon coming towards him and quickly raced back to Ruhan. "Hide me!"

Ruhan gave him a look. "And you call yourself a daywalker." He snorted and turned his attention to the approaching demon.

In his demon state, his temper was even worse. Quaridan didn't even notice that he had walked towards Faran and Ruhan, but he could see Faran in this state. "You shouldn't hide from me, it's someone else that should..." he said, his voice full of malice. He walked calmly back to where the angel was, the floor tiles practically melting under his feet. He grabbed the owner by the neck, lifting him off the ground and burning his neck. His eyes were fierce and clearly angry.

Ruhan was interested now and followed the way Quaridan took back to the angel.

Faran whimpered and followed.

The owner laughed. "He'll never truly be free!"

"That's what you think. Everyone can find happiness if they get the chance..." Quaridan growled. He could sense the others coming behind him, but he wasn't worried. Quaridan superheated his hand that was around the owner's neck and made a clean cut, as if his head was cut off with a light saber. "Oops... looks like you won't be able to find yours. You'll just have to find it in hell." he smirked.

Ruhan chuckled and clapped his hands. "What a nice kill, but I would have let him suffered a lot more before ending his life."

"Sicko," muttered Faran.

Caleb's heart pounded on his chest, he didn't know what was going on, but he prayed that he was going to be free.

Quaridan changed back to his human form and looked over at Ruhan. "I usually do let them suffer, but I decided against it." he said. He kneeled down and used his hands to melt the lock on the cage. He smiled and held his hand out to Caleb. "Your free now."

Caleb looked up at the male and shook his head, tugging at the shackles that held him to the floor of the cage.

Q smiled and went into his bag and took out a paper clip and picked the locks. "I forgot I had that in there..." he laughed.

"Brother?" A voice asked from behind Ruhan and Faran. "Did you kill someone again?"

Q looked back and smiled softly. "Rai... I had a good reason this time..."

Ruhan glanced behind him and grinned. "Another one."

Faran floated over to Q and Caleb. "Is he going to be alright?

Q heard him. "I hope so..." he said softly, holding his hand out to Caleb again.

Rai blinked. "Eh?"

Caleb shook slightly as he took Q's hand.

"That's good." Faran looked over at Ruhan and frowned.

Ruhan bowed slightly to Rai.

Q smiled sweetly and helped Caleb out of the cage, knowing he was probably going to be wobbly with his wings plucked and everything.

Rai blushed lightly. "Uh, h-hi to you too??"

Caleb stumbled into Q, gasping and pushing off of him and stumbling back, falling onto his butt. "F-Forgive me..." He put his arms over his head and flinched as if afraid he was going to strike him.

Q blinked "Forgive you? For what?" he asked. He nodded suddenly. "Ah, I see. Don't worry, its alright." he said softly. He kneeled down and brought Caleb into his arms and picked him up.

Caleb gasped softly as he stood up, looking at Q. "Why did you save me?"

"He saved you because you were being abused and no creature should be treated like that," said Faran.

Ruhan grinned. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Not only because of that, but because I saw him crying... I don't know why, but when I saw it, it made me want to kill the guy who did it, so I did." Quaridan said truthfully. "But also, it is because you were being abused, and no one deserves that."

Rai smiled. "I-its a pleasure to meet y-you too..."

Caleb wrapped his arms around Q's neck and cried silently into his neck.

Q smiled and closed his eyes, transporting both himself and Caleb to The tip top.

Faran waved to them as they disappeared.

Ruhan grinned. "Do you want to leave this place?"

Rai blinked. "Okay...? I'm afraid I'm new around here, so I don't really know where to go..."

"I know this little bar we can go to," said Ruhan with a smile.

Rai nodded. "Okay... but I don't usually drink much... bad things happen when I get drunk..." he said, blushing.

Ruhan chuckled. "That's okay." He took Rai's hand and led him out of the mall, down to The tip top.

Faran sighed and followed.

Rai meeped and followed him.

Nirav looked around in the clothes shops."Hm...I think I want....That one."He talked to himself,trying to pick out some clothes.He finally bought some and walked out of the mall,walking down the streets.

---

Griever looked around at the stores, pondering on which one to explore first. "So many choices."

"Go where ever you'd like, today is for you." Nanao replied softly, his arm wrapped around his lover's waist possessively.

"But I don't know where to start," said Griever as he looked around.

"Why don't we go in there?" Nanao pointed to a clothing store further down the mall with a smirk. "You can model the clothes for me..."

Griever chuckled softly. "That sounds like a perfect idea, love."

Nanao laughed softly, pulling his lover closer to him as they walked into the store. "Go crazy, you still love to shop don't you?"

"I do," said Griever happily.

"Then have fun... I'll get you whatever you like don't worry about cost." Nanao grazed his fingers along Griever's cheek, smiling as he stepped aside. "Treat yourself for once."

Griever hugged his lover and kissed his cheek, before running off to the shirt section.

Nanao shook his head, following his lover deeper into the store.

As he looked at the shirts Griever's phone began to ring. He pulled it out, looked at the number, glanced around, then walked into a more secluded section of the store. "Yes, sir?" His eyes widened and he gasped softly. "Are you sure it's a code red?" He nervously bit his lip and nodded. "Right. Yes, but the Phoenix isn't a bounty hunter anymore and the Black Cat is dead. He died in that fire. So, there's not reason to- What?! They hacked into the main system and got everything?!" He groaned loudly. "They'll contact every bounty hunter, active or non-active. They'll tell them that the Black Cat isn't really dead and who he really is." He ran a hand through his hair. "Yes, yes. If worse comes to worse I'll go into hiding and the Black Cat will disappear. You don't have to worry about a thing, sir. Your top agent won't go down without a fight. Black Cat over and out." He closed his phone and put it up. He leaned against the wall with a weary sigh.

"What was that dear?" Nanao asked, getting a similar notification just moments before.

"It's just my boss from work wanting me to come back." Griever sighed softly. "Some stuff has happened and he was contacting everyone to tell us what happened."

"Why didn't you tell me..." Nanao asked, pulling out his own phone, and showing him the number that called.

"I didn't tell you because it was my mission to watch you. My boss wanted to keep an eye on you because you took down so many of our agents and saw you as a threat." Griever sighed softly. "I didn't expect to fall in love with you and when you told me that you were quitting I was happy, but now this happens and every hunter out there knows who I really am thanks to your agents."

"My orders... are to kill you." Nanao whispered, turning away with a grimace on his face. "Naturally... I told them I couldn't... but since I refused... they're sending hunters after both of us..."

Griever nervously chewed his lip. "Where are we going to go? We can't stay here much longer."

"I'm an elite... I can protect you..." Nanao replied, glancing around, and holding his hand out. "Now, let's get back to shopping..."

Griever gave a small whimper, but took Nanao's hand. "A-alright..."

Nanao smiled, and pulled a shirt from the rack. "Why don't you try this on..." he whispered, handing it to his lover, and leaning down, kissing him gently.

Griever relaxed slightly as he kissed back. "Okay." He walked into the men's changing room to change.

Nanao grinned, leaning up beside the door. "How does it look?"

Griever stepped out to show him. "I like it."

Nanao grinned gently pressing Griever back into the changing room and locking the door behind them. "I do too..." he whispered, his tone seductive.

Griever blushed slightly. "Love?"

Nanao pushed him against the wall of the changing room, pressing his body against his lover's. Pressing his leg between Griever's, he leaned in, kissing him softly. "I just don't think I can hold myself back any longer... it's been so long..."

Griever groaned softly and wrapped his arms around Nanao's neck. "Then take me." He lightly nipped at his neck, purring loudly.

Nanao grinned, unbuttoning his lover's pants, and sliding them down. Kissing down Griever's neck, he pulled away, lifting the other males shirt over his head, and dropping it on the bench beside them.

Griever pulled his phoenix into a passionate kiss as he worked on getting his pants undone and off.

Moaning quietly, Nanao lifted Griever up the wall, kissing and nipping at any part of his lover he could reach.

Griever made a joyful noise when he got the pants off. He grinned and kissed his lover again. "You really do want me badly."

"Mnn... nothing I want more..." Nanao whispered, positioning his lover over his hips. Lowering him down slowly, he pushed his already erect member into Griever, letting out a low groan as he felt his lover around him.

Griever arched his back with a loud hiss, digging his nails into Nanao's shoulder.

Nanao tossed his head back as his lover's claws tore into his shoulders. With his eyes clenched shut, he began pumping into his lover slowly, the pleasure slowly dulling the pain.

Griever soon started to mewl softly and wrapped his legs around his lover's waist.

Blood stained Nanao's white shirt as it rolled down his shoulders, but went unnoticed as he began pumping vigorously into his lover. He opened his eyes, instantly locking his lips with the male in his grasp. The overwhelming lust for him took over his body, mind, and soul alike as they made love.

Griever roughly nipped at his lover's lips, wanting entrance. He suddenly moaned and arched his back when Nanao grazed his sweet spot.

Nanao grinned, parting his lips as his lover so 'graciously' requested. Gripping tighter to Griever's hips, he began thrusting roughly into him, relishing in the feeling with each movement. Moving one hand from his lover's hips, he reached between them awkwardly, and began stroking his lover's member slowly, slowly timing them with his barbaric thrusts.

Griever moved one of his hands to Nanao's hair, gripping it tightly. He roughly rubbed his tongue along the roof and against his lover's tongue. He arched his back again and moaned loudly when his spot was repeatedly hit.

Nanao smiled, taking Griever's tongue into his mouth, kissing him deeply to keep him quiet. They were in the middle of the mall after all. Only breaking the kiss to breathe, the phoenix's head lolled back at that moment, a groan coming from him. "Griever...I love you..."

"I love you, too..." Griever bit into his lover's neck to stifle a moan.

Nanao planted his palm against the wall behind Griever firmly, smoke rising from the contact point. Sweat beaded along his body, glimmering through his fire red hair as he grew closer and closer to his release.

Griever groaned loudly and bit down harder to stifle another loud moan. He arched his back slightly as he became closer to his release.

Letting out a stifled moan as his lover bit harder, immense heat began radiating from his body. Unable to hold himself any longer, he thrusted, sheathing himself completely in the other as he released, earning a loud moan from the phoenix.

Griever arched his body and moaned loudly as he came as well. "Nanao!" He tightly dug his claws into his lover's shoulder and scalp.

Nanao winced, leaning against his lover and breathing heavily. "Mnn... Griever..." he whispered, pumping in a few more times, riding out his orgasm.

Griever panted softly as he leaned his head against his lover's neck. He gently licked and nipped at it.

Nanao smiled, puling away from his lover and setting him on his feet once more. Pressing his lips to the others gently, he moved back, and pulled his clothes back on, the bite mark searing shut flawlessly. "Well, what do you say about finishing our shopping trip?" He asked, chuckling softly.

Griever gave him a small smiled as he pulled his clothes back on. "Alright, but we're going to go slow since my ass hurts."

Nanao laughed quietly, pulling his lover close to him once he was dressed. "Aww, was I too rough on you?" He teased, kissing his forehead gently, before opening the dressing room door, and walking out with Griever in his grasp.

Griever pouted slightly. "Yes and you know I don't like it dry."

Nanao laughed, shaking his head as they walked. "I know, I know, but I just couldn't wait. Honestly, I'm a bit sore myself..."

Griever rolled his eyes. "At least your not as sore as me."

"There's only one way for that to happen." Nanao grinned slyly. "And you won't do it."

"Damn right I won't." Griever gave him a look. "I like being the uke in this relationship."

Nanao laughed, turning towards his lover. "You should always be willing to try new things..." he whispered seductively in his ear, before pulling away, and grabbing his phone. "Damn... Griever... we have a serious problem..."

Griever gave his lover a worried look. "What is it? Have they found us?"

"They've sent a member of the family after us... Shadow Dancer." Nanao muttered, placing his phone back in his pocket and looking around. "Let's hurry here, he's already in town... I met with him earlier. He's frighteningly strong... even more than myself."

Griever's ears when back and he whimpered. "I met him before. It was a miracle I survived that meeting."

"I saw him right before meeting you here... at the Tip Top..." Nanao muttered his face paling slightly. "Even the both of us... I don't think we can beat him..."

Griever rested his head on his lover's shoulder. "I don't want to die..."

"There are ways around that..." Nanao replied, grinning as an idea came to his mind. "The family and all the members are completely untouchable, but if we get to your organization, we'll be untouchable by the others..."

Griever shook his head. "It will take too long to get there. It's established in Venice."

Spreading his wings, Nanao grinned once more. "Then we have only one other option... to disappear..."

"How?" asked Griever. "Where can we go where there will be no hunters?"

"They are everywhere, so we will have to be as well..." Nanao whispered, plucking a feather from his wings, wincing as they burned to nothingness.

Griever bit his bottom lip, still very worried.

"We'll have to hide our physical traits... your tail and ears as well as my hair..." Nanao muttered, dropping the feather in the pile of ash on the ground. " They're far too noticeable..."

Griever whined softly. "But I'm nothing without them."

"You're still mine... and I want to keep you for as long as I can... so do a complete shift to a mortal body..." Nanao whispered, taking his hand with a smile.

Griever sighed, but nodded. He closed his eyes and bowed his head, focusing on pulling his ears and tail into his body. Once that was done he opened his eyes, hating the fact that his hearing and vision weren't as sharp as before. "I hate this..."

"We have to go... he's already at the mall..." Nanao muttered, glancing across the mall. "The silver haired kid, he hasn't seen us yet, but we have to move, now."

Griever nodded and started to move. "We'll have to go back to the apartment to get a few things."

Nodding as well, Nanao kicked the pile of ash, scattering it, flames etching and dispersing in all directions. During the chaos, he picked up the feather, tossing it into the air, muttering under his breath as it darted through the mall, in the opposite direction they were going.

Sensing the magic, Marcello glanced from the dying flames, to the speeding trail of magic already far behind him. "Damn..." he whispered, darting after it through the shadows.

"It will only distract him for a moment, but I can't use any magic or he'll sense me... we'll have to go on foot..." Nanao whispered, walking swiftly towards the back door, pulling his lover behind him.

Griever quickly followed. "I understand. I just hope we can get out of town before he finds us."

"We're not leaving town...we're waiting him out..." Nanao smiled, pushing the doors open and leaving the mall with his lover. Douseiai streets

Chieko was in the food court,eating frenchfries.He looked around at all the preps and jocks."Damn...Do any ravers hang here anymore?"He asked himself."Or any hot guys..?"He mumbled softly

Hiroshima looked around the mall, grumbling. The stupid sensai at the dojo gave him the wrong address, and even the wrong city. He crumbled the paper and tossed it over his shoulder, getting it into the basket. He walked up to Chieko. "Excuse me..."

Chieko looked over with a french fry in his mouth.He blinked and blushed alittle,finishing the french fry."Yes?"He asked after he swallowed.

"Do you know where the nearest hotel is...?" Hiro asked, chuckling slightly. "Seems I'm stuck here for a while."

"Oh yeah,theres one over by-"He was cut off when his phone rang.He sighed."Hold on a second please."he picked it up."Helllo?"There was screaming coming from the phone,Chieko pulled the phone away from his ear.All you could really hear was,"YOU'RE DEAD WHEN YOU GET BACK!" and "GET YOUR SCRAWNY ASS OVER HERE,NOW!"Chieko whimpered and hung up."Theres one on the douseiai streets.

Hiroshima blinked. "Are you alright...?" he asked.

"Not really.."Chieko sighed."I'm probably guna have bruises and cuts by the time morning comes..."

Hiro looked down at him. "And why is that...?" he asked cautiosly.

"I'm a part of the Rainbow Ravers...They always beat me up when Im late...But its okay...Im use to it.."

Hiro looked really concerned, but he just sighed. "Well, thank you for the directions... I really appreciate it..." he smiled softly.


"No problem!"Chieko smiled happily.He got up.

Hiroshima nodded and smiled. "My name is Hiroshima... and I hope we meet again someday." he bowed, turning and walking away, but he didn't go far.

Chieko smiled."I'm Chieko..."He said and waved when Hiro walked away.He walked out to the Douseiai streets

Motokai hummed softly, looking about the line of stores lined up. "Which store would you like to check out first?" He turned his attention back to his lover.

"It honestly does not matter." Xander replied softly, finally letting his guard down a bit as they walked into the large shopping complex

"Really...?" Motokai tilted his head slightly, glacing from store to store, in search for a certain store. Smiling when spotting his favorite store, he lead Xander towards it. The store was filled with all sorts of things for love making to foreplay. He looked about the shelves, runnning his finger tips on a vile filled with a dark liquide.

"Are you looking for something inparticular Motokai?" Xander asked, glancing around, a faint blush rising on his cheeks when he noticed some of the 'toys'.

Motokai chuckled softly, looking over at his lover. "Yeah... but I think it hasn't came in just yet. I'll have to wait just a bit longer." His eyes followed to the 'toys' that Xander had notice. "Seen anything you like?"

"Maybe something for you..." Xander grinned deviously, the blush suddenly gone as he made his way throught the store.

Motokai cocked a brow, interested in what Xander was talking about. He slowly followed. "What did you find?"

"Don't worry about it, you'll see when we get back to your apartment today." He grinned, stopping infront of a clothing rack full of sexy costumes. "These are interesting..."

Motokai blushed faintly, clearing his throat. His eyes quickly turning in the other direction. He quickly placed his hands into his coat pockets, turning his attention back to the rack. "I think so too but even more interesting if a certain somebody was wearing them."

"I was just thinking the same thing..." Xander muttered, pulling one of the outfits off the rack. "Here, try this on."

"Me...?" Motokai took the outfit into his hands, without further questions. "Alright." He smiles wondering into the dressing room, pulling his own clothing off and replacing it with the outfit that Xander choiced for him to try on. A blush appeared onto his cheeks as he stood in front of the mirror, gazing at himself. "You're serious about this, aren't you?"

"Yep." Xander muttered, Stepping through a darkened area in the wall, standing behind Motokai with a grin. "Sexy."

Motokai jumped slightly, tunring around facing the other male, the blush darken on his cheeks. "You really think so?"

Nodding, Xander moved Motokai against the back wall, holding his hands up above his head firmly. "Yeah..." he whispered, kissing him softly, dragging teh tip of his tongue along his lover's lips tenderly.

Motokai gasped into the kiss, before he was able to utter a word, Xander's lips took over his. Feeling his lover's tongue caressing his lips he automatically opens his mouth enough for the other's tongue to enter.

Xander slid his tongue into Motokai's mouth, the fleshy appendage wriggling around, taking in the taste of his lover. His body shivered as he pressed up against him, his eyes turning red as he tore away, clenching his jaws tightly.

Motokai groand when Xander pulled away. "You still haven't qurintched your hunger yet..." He gently palced a hand on his cheek.

"T-thats not it..." He growled, slamming his fist against the dressing room door. "I-it's just you...your smell...your taste...everything about you makes me want to drain you dry..."

Motokai stood there, staring at the other male. "Isn't that somethin'...? But it didn't happen the last couple of times we slept together. So why is this occuring now?"

"It has happened...every time, I've just been able to hide it from you." Xander replied quickly, his breathing growing heavy as he began to calm down. "I don't want to hurt you...or even worse...turn you."

"Why did you hide something like this?" Motokai leaned against the wall, closing his eye momentarily. He then looks back up at Xander. " I understand why you wouldn't want to but...I have a question, does this only happen when you've found someone that you truely care about?"

"Not necisisarrily, but hte only other time it happened was with my first lover...I'm just drawn to some people...I noticed it in the bar the first time we met..."

"I see..." Motokai pushed himself off the wall. "So what can I do?"

"Nothing...expecially if I lose control. It would probably be best for me to stay away from you..." Xander replied, quite reluctantly.

"Stay away? But that means I won't be able to see you again..." Motokai muttered, glancing from the male in front of him and the floor. "I woudn't be able to stand that for the least bit. I want to remain with you, no matter the cost."

"You don't know what your risking..." Xander whispered, opening the changing room door and moving to step out of it.

"A life that was meaningless until I met you." Motokai took hold of Xander's arm. "I had nothing before you came into the picture... So I think I'm risking nothing for an oppertunity to be with you."

"You're risking becoming just like me..." He hissed, turning towards him, his eyes blood red, and his fangs elongated fully.

"And what's wrong with that?" Motokai asked softly, hardly imadated by his lover's actions.

"You don't want to be a monster..." Xander murmered, turning away from him.

"I don't think that." Motokai sighed.

"You haven't lived for twenty five hundred years..." Xander replied, pulling free from Motokai's grasp easily, and walking across the store.

"Great..." Motokai undressed, putting his cloths back on. He placed the outfit back on the rack, turning to look for Xander.

"I'm over here." Xander whispered from teh doorway, his head turned away from Motokai as he spoke.

Motokai wondered toward the entrance way meeting Xander. "I'm sorry..." He muttered, glancing towards his way. "I didn't mean to cross that line you didn't want me to in the first place. I just thought-nevermind..." He ran his fingers through his short hair.

"It's not you, I just couldn't imagine turning you into this." Xander whispered softly, shying away from his lover when he neared, turning his back to him as well.

Motokai smiled softly, seeing the shy part of his lover. "I understand...but I really don't want to stop seeing you. That's was the main reason why I got that way." He went to wrap his arms around him to pull him into a hug but deicied against it, thinking that he doesn't want to be touched by him as well.

"It's ok, and if you're ok with it, then it's fine." Xander feigned a smile, reacihng out to his lover and pulling him into a hug.

Motokai double blinked in confusion of just a slipt second, quickly returning the hug. A smile owing his lips as he held his lover close to his form.

Xander smiled, closing his eyes and resting his head against his lover's chest. "So, are you gonna get that costume?"

Motokai chuckled, pulling out his wallet. "I thought you would ask." He smiled, taking his lover's hand, wondering back in, grabing the costume he tried on earlier. He returned to the front desk paying for the item. "So...What do you want to do? Still want to look about the mall or give this a go around?"

"Why don't you decide?" Xander grinned, squeezing Motokai's hand gently.

Motokai lead Xander back to the entrance way of the mall. "There's nothing else to do here. Let's go to somewhere pick something to eat and head back to my place." He smiles down to his lover, heading out into Douseiai streets.

"I see..." Damion wondered in behind him, reaching his hand into his back pocket,. "Alright, Kira... I have my life savings with me. So choose anything you like out of any store and I'll buy it." He showed the male the wallet, then placing it back into his pocket. "The first store please..."

Kira looked around as he thought. "Hmm...." He suddenly smiled and pointed at a Hot Topic store. "That one!"

"As you wish." Damion chuckled, heading towards the store with Kira still close to his side.

Kira smiled happily. "It's been a while since I've been in one."

"Same here. Haven't been able to go shopping for a while." Damion entered the store with the excited Kira. "Go bonkers!"

Kira smiled happily and went to the shirt section of the store.

Damion just browse around, glancing at the different clothing, following Kira.

Kira picked out a few tight shirts. Some red, a few black, one or two white, but most of them had images on them. One of them had a bleeding heart another with a black rose with some blood on the petals. He wandered over to the pants and looked through them.

Damion followed close by his hands in his pockets as he wondered about. His eyes soon spot a leather jacket he's been looking for. Smiling the demon picked it up, seeing that he could treat himself and his current guest.

Kira gathered a few pants, all tight and all black. He wandered over to the belts and gathered a few chain belts and some silver studded black belts. He shifted his items in his arms and walked over to the collars and bracelets. He picked up a black collar with a crimson tear drop.

Damion saw that the other male was having difficult holding all of his clothing so far. Gently, he remove some of the load off. "Here let me help you." He place most of the things Kira picked out into his own arms.

Kira smiled at him. "Thank you."

"Your welcome." Damion returned the smile, waiting for him to finish up.

Kira picked up another collar, but this one was crimson. He walked over to the earrings and picked out a few. Some crosses, some small hoops. He smiled at Damion. "Ready."

Damion nods, tilting his head towards the counter. "Yeah. Let's get this wardrobe rung up." He made his way to the front counter, placing the stack of clothing on it. A smirk owned his lips as the cashier looked at the stack, to the two males, and back with amazement.

Kira smirked at the cashier. "You better be fast. We have places to go and more shopping to do."

"You heard the man. Get to work." Damion smirk grew into a evil smile, tapping his fingers as if he were impatient. The cashier panicked a bit speeding through the scanning of the clothing and accessories. Finishing in mere seconds, Damion proudly paid the man, grabbing the bags. "Heh! That always works..." He chuckled heading out, glancing over his shoulder to Kira. "Oi! Were to now?"

Kira gave the young cashier a wink and followed after Damion, linking arms with him. "Bed, bath, and beyond. If I'm going to be staying with you I need my own products. That stuff you used on me didn't do justice for my hair."

Damion chuckled, nodding his head. "Sorry the stuff was a bit on the strong side. I had the stuff to wash out any trace of blood from my hair. So yeah it probably dried it out."

Kira ran a hand through his hair and nodded. "Yeah. It did. I'm going to need a conditioner with moisturizer in it and some body wash what has a nice sweet smell to it."

"No problem. C'mon, I know the right place." Damion lead Kira to Bath N' Shower store where shampoo, conditioner, scented soap and lotions are sold. "You'll be able to find what you need here."

Kira looked around the store. "Hmm...."

"Take your time..." Damion glanced about, the different scents colliding with one another.

Kira picked up a bottle of body wash and gave it a small sniff, wrinkling his nose he sat it down. "Not that one." He picked up another one and did the same thing, trying to find a scent he liked.

Damion laughed lightly, watching the other find a scent he liked.

Kira settled on a cucumber melon scent and went about finding a shampoo and conditioner. He looked at the bottles, reading what type of hair they were for.

Damion watched, waiting for Kira at the front counter.

Kira found two bottles of shampoo and two conditioners that he liked. He headed for Damion, but stopped when he saw the bubble bath supplies. He grinned and picked up a bottle of cinnamon scented bubble bath. He walked over to the counter and sat the stuff down. "That should last me a few months." 

Damion nods, paying for the product. "So Kira, do you want to look at beds or would you like to get a bite to eat before we do so? Your choice." He smiled warmly, looking down at him.

Kira smiled back at him and gave him a sexy look. "But I'm rather fond of the bed you have. Can't we share it?"

Damion double blink, then a smirk owned his lips. "I have no problem sharing my bed at all. Plus, it's rather large anyway so I see no reason why we can't sleep in the same bed. Anyways, are you hungry by any chance...? Since you didn't eat much during breakfast..."

Kira nodded and started walking out out of the store. "Yeah. I'm starving."

Damion started towards the food court. All sorts of restaurant stands lined up for a costumers choosing.

Kira followed after him, looking at the restaurants. "Hmm.... What to eat? What to eat?"

"I know. Everything smells good." Damion inhaled the breath taking aroma.

Kira suddenly caught a whiff of something and grinned. "I smell beef."

Damion chuckled, nugging the other male. "Alrighty then. There should be a stand some where-" He paused finding the stand he was looking for, taking Kira's hand he lead him towards it.

Kira followed after him, smiling.

Damion looked up at the menu board once in front of the stand. "Let's see... What do I want...?"

Kira looked up at the menu and frowned slightly. "So many choices."

"No kidding?" Damion allowed a sigh come from his lips.

"Hmm... That gyro wrap looks good," said Kira.

"Yeah... So does a double cheese burger." Damion smiled, stepping up to the counter. "You ready to order?"

Kira nodded. "I am. I want that beef gyro wrap."

"And I'll have a double cheese burger, hold the onions." Damion order his food. The cashier nods his head, ringing up the order. "Oh, You want anything to drink, Kira?"

"I'll have a sweet tea," said Kira with a soft smile.

"Sweet tea and make mine a water." Damion finished, handing the male the money. "Go pick out a seat. I'll join you wen the foods up."

Kira nodded and walked off to find a table. He found one a little ways away and sat down.

In just a few moments, Damion wonder towards him a tray in hand as the other held the bags. "Here's your food, kind sir..." He jokingly set the tray down in front of Kira, then set the bags down beside him. "Enjoying yourself so far?"

Kira nodded and sipped at his drink. "Yeah. This was a wonderful idea."

"I agree. I haven't had this much fun for a while so it's nice to have a change in pace." Damion took a bite out of his cheese burger.

Kira bit into his gyro wrap. "Yeah."

"So what do you want to do after this?" Damion asked, taking yet another huge bite of his cheese burger.

Kira just shrugged. "I'm not sure. I have everything that I want for now."

Damion glanced at all the bags. "Yeah, I believe you've got everything you need at the moment. So how about we just go home for a bit and if you like we can go see a movie. How's that sound?"

"Sounds good." Kira gave him a soft smile.

"Cool." Damion finished his burger and water, leaning against the plastic chair.

Kira finished the last of his wrap and took a long drink from his tea. "Ready to go?"

"Yep. Let's go!" Damion stretched, taking up the bags once more.

Kira stood up, picking up his trash and drink. He walked over to a trash can and threw this trash away, sipping on his tea.

Damion threw away his trash, taking Kira's hand once more, leading him out of the mall. "I'm happy that you enjoyed yourself today. It really brought some light into my dull life. What is the words I'm searching for? What I meant is that I'm happy that I'm still able to bring happiness to another." He smiled softly.

Kira smiled back and leaned his head against Damion's shoulder. "I'm happy that I found a place to stay and found someone how cares about me."

Damion nods, pulling Kira close to his form, heading out into Douseiai streets.

Kira wrapped an arm around Damion's waist, snuggling close.
