Uh-oh.... I knew I should have explained about Sparrow earlier!

"Uh... That guy... Is Sparrow, its kinda hard to explain..."

***

Cerbie slowly chewed on a bone he put in Eiji's bag, I wonder why we dogs are so addicted to bone any way? Because they're good, what kind of stupid question was that?!

 

[cats]

Lee

IC: "I didn't expect it to taste this good. You must cook alot every time I've eaten with you the food is good." yep I should of figured he wouldn't have escargo. Wait a second. This is Lea's first time eating something he made. Oh don't worry he wont notice.

"So what do you have planed for latter today?"

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Tetsuru raised an eyebrow. "He IS Sparrow? Well then..."

She scratched the back of her head. "Eheheh! This sounds like quite the story..." She smiled. "You have quite a past..."

She cocked her head. "Eiji... will you tell me about yourself?"

<<--->>

Momiji sighed as she lay upon the beach. Lea and Yamanaka were playing with the sandcastle now, and she had decided to rest in the wet sand a ways away. It was calming upon her back, and she closed her eyes, feeling the surf flow around her...

...and a shadow fell over her.

"Momiji..."

She glanced up, and smiled widely.

"Touji..."

He sat down next to her quietly, and they watched the waves.

<<--->>

Yoshiro grinned and shrugged as he finished his sandwich.

"I was actually planning to hang out with you. I'm not sure what we could have done... just fool around, I suppose... but I'm always happy hanging out with you."

Damn! She's going to take this the wrong way!

Well, it's not really they wrong way... because that's what I'm wanting... but dammit! I can't let her know that! I have to caution myself until I know her! Don't I...?

I'd at least like to know what happened that one night...

He smiled winningly, a handsome expression (though he had no idea), and brushed his hair back slightly. "What do you say? Is there anything you'd like to do?"

Ugh, I know what I'd like... damn it! Mental slap of self!

Still, the image of Lea topless was one not easily forgotten.

 

[hybirdx]

Eiji scratched his head "Well... I can't tell every thing... Since I lost my memory an few years back." Eiji tried to remember so many times, but he began to give up not too long ago, it was easyer for him to look into the future.

***

Milo finnaly stoped staring at the sky and relaxed a bit "What ever what I was feeling, It's gone." He muttered to him self, as he laid down and closed his eyes. HJe suddenly felt water soak his face. He shot up and opened his eyes "Wh-what the?"

Mai lauged, holding a now empty bucket. "You're going to pay for that."

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Tetsuru's eyes widened. "You had amnesia!?" She blushed deeply, and bowed her head. "Eiji-chan, I'm so sorry! If I had known, I wouldn't've asked..."

The waiter arrived with the large crab and two plates, but Tetsuru didn't notice. Normally the shell-cracking instruments were her favorite entertainment while eating crab, but...

Oh, how embarassing! I hope I didn't ruin it for him!

<<--->>

Touji glanced sidelong at Momiji.

"What do you think of Lee?"

Momiji glanced up at Touji, surprised, and then narrowed her eyes.

"First, Touji, you have to tell me what you think of me."

"Huh?"

"I won't tell you what I think of Lee until you tell me why you reacted the way you did."

Touji narrowed his eyes. Damn it, Momiji, you think you know, but I have no idea. I don't trust myself! The Beast isn't just violent, you know! And you're pure... I couldn't do anything like that to you... I've always seen you as the good girl, the one who tries to hold me back, but now you're the temptress, and I feel so strange... how can I explain it?

"I just wanted to make sure he wasn't doing anything when you couldn't resist," he said quietly. "It was my mistake -- I thought maybe he had surprised you. But it didn't bother me."

Momiji bit her lip. "Is... that so..."

"Sure. We're friends, right? I was just looking out for you."

She trembled, and then got to her feet. "Damn you, Touji! You haven't changed at all! I hate you!" And she slapped him fiercely across the cheek.

It wasn't the first time, and the other times there had been his cronies to laugh at him about it... yet somehow, it stung far more this time. "The feeling's mutual," he responded darkly.

She recoiled. "You... you... aah!" Wracked with sobs, Momiji rushed from the beach and towards the city, leaving everyone else behind.

Touji sat there, his eyes soft, as Yamanaka and Rikku stared.

"No, Momiji," he whispered, "it isn't YOU I hate..."

 

[hybirdx]

Eiji just laughed, "Don't be, it doesn't bother me. I never realy worry bout it much any more." I still worrie about it, but it doesn't matter does it? I can't change the past now can I?

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Tetsuru looked up, and she was smiling again.

"Oh... good..."

Then, hoping to lighten the mood, she grinned and picked up one of the two nutcracker-like implements.

"Come on, Eiji, let's have some crab! How much you get depends on how much I leave behind!" With a laugh, she took another draught of her soda.

And the pretty girl proceeded to crack crabshell and stuff herself.

At least it's a big crab!

<<--->>

"Touji, you'd better go after her."

The reformed thug, now quiet, glanced up at Yamanaka. "She needs some time alone," responded Touji quietly.

"Don't be dumb, brother!" retorted the younger boy. "I know you said something wrong, you always do! Go and apologize to her! Don't leave her thinking something wrong!"

Touji narrowed his eyes. "Yamanaka, I'm not feeling up to it. Please don't pressure m-- oof!"

Yamanaka clenched his hand into a fist... and an immensely surprised Touji hovered slightly off the ground. "Brother! Go, now!"

Touji felt himself lowered... and stared at his younger brother.

"Yamanaka... your power is... getting so much stronger..."

Yamanaka glanced upward. He looked like he was near tears. "That's because I have a brother to tutor me, don't I?" he whispered. "Who I can be proud of."

Touji was silent, and then stood.

"Yes," he whispered, "yes you do."

And he went after Momiji.

Yamanaka, embarassed, glanced at Lea. "S-Sorry. Me and my brother go way back. Well, uh, I mean, obviously, but..." He flushed. I don't wanna look like an idiot around this pretty girl! "Let's... just forget that happened... before Mai and her friend notice."

Speaking of pretty girls... I wonder if Mai's friend is interested in her? I hope not! Ever since Touji and Eiji have been fighting, I've always liked to catch glimpses of that girl! Sure, she's a couple years older than me... but what the hey!

The ten-year-old boy glanced up, smiling. "You wanna play tag, Lea?"

 

[cats]

Rikku in "Utter confusion." et Lee in "Just for fun."

IC: Rikku: I watched Yamanaka out of the corner of my eye while I worked on the sand castle. If I didn't know better I'd say he was checking me out. But he's only ten he wouldn't check out an 18 year old like me, oh wait a 17 year old like Lee.

'Do you want to play tag?' "Well it's been a while but with my cat like reflexes you don't stand a chance." I smiled at myself. He dosen't know how true that staement is.

I stood up and brushed the sand off of my knees. The fur had a tendency to keep the grains stuck in there. "I'll be it. Ready." Yamanaka started to walk in the other direction. "One." He speed up slightly to a light jog. "Two." He now was begining to run.

Something fell out of the sky landing on our sand castle. As I turned my head I saw Sparows body bounce off the explodeing sand up into the air a few inches and land ruogh and lifeless. "Sparow!"

'Three comes next.' I looked up and there was Tetsuya. "What did you do?" Tetsuya vanished from my sight. 'The same I'll do to this one unless Moonlerion and Anno stop me.' He held up Milo who was strugling in his grip. 'I'll send you further instructions latter.' Mai was running in the water at Tetsuya. For a little one she had courage. But before I could even take in what was happening he disapeared again.

I ran to Sparow to see if he was alive. When I got there I could tell his energy was weak but not gone, and the same aplied to his life force. I began to gather my healing powers, prehaps he could tell us something.

IC: Lee: Well he did say he wanted something to do, and I really enjoy this so. I lifted my self off the ground in one jump I then snaped my foot forward like a wip hitting Yoshiro in the head. The big guy fell to the ground. I landed and turned to him.

"I'm sorry I thought you would of blocked it. Are you okay?" My face was now bright red. I felt so embaressed this action wasn't like me at all.

 

[hybirdx]

Eiji chuckled, Wow... She's quick! If I'm not careful she'll bite my hand off! Eiji did his best not to laugh, and proceeded to crack crab sheel and stuff himself.

***

Sparrow was definetly out of it, and was haning on for his life. As soon as Lea's powers began to heal him, he tried to move. "Shit... What the hell happened?" He muttered under his breath. He slowly shook his head, trying to regain his blurred vision.

"Damnit!" Mai screemed, she never seen Milo strugle like that before, like it was somebody else in Tetsuya's body. "What is going on now?!"

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Tetsuru ate quickly but quietly, savoring the taste of the crab, savoring the warmth of the sun, savoring Eiji being near her...

I could do this forever...

She smiled softly and sighed happily.

<<--->>

Yoshiro blinked.

"Y-You kicked me in the face!" he exclaimed, sounding bewildered.

His hand went up to touch his face. "Damn, no way! I'm bleeding! I never bleed! Urrgh!" He sniffed, embarassed by his bleeding nose.

He glanced up at her wryly. "Do you do that to all guys you hang out with?"

This girl is really crazy sometimes! But... she didn't fight that well in the tournament... that was a really fast kick!

 

[hybirdx]

Eiji taken a sip of his soda. This is peaceful, wish my life is almost always like this... I mean, I always did enjoy fighting, but sometimes I need a rest from training and all. Eiji smiled happily wich was rare now a days.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Tetsuru giggled.

"You're so cute when you smile," she said teasingly, starting on the remnants of the crab again.

<<--->>

Yamanaka grimaced. "Tetsuya... I'd better tell my brother when he gets back..."

<<--->>

Momiji stumbled towards the town, sniffling. The road was hot, and stung her feet -- she had left her sandals at the beach. Damn, she thought. Stupid, stupid...

She could only think of what Touji had said, though...

"Here."

She spun, her eyes wide, to see Touji offering her sandals to her, though his eyes were as cold as ever. Mumbling thanks, she took the sandals and placed them on her burning feet. She winced, the sand and concrete having dried out the soles of her feet unhealthily, and she stumbled...

Touji caught her. "Here," he murmured again, and lifted her up. His arms wrapped around her back and bottom, and she felt her breath catch in her throat as he began to walk towards the city again.

"Touji," she whispered, "do you really hate me?"

"I didn't say I hated you," he said quietly.

"Yes, Touji, you said... oh... Touji!" she breathed, and hugged him. "I thought you had said... wait, but Touji... that's even worse!"

"No, it isn't," he responded. "Hating you is a far worse crime than hating me."

"Touji..." She shook her head. "I... I don't really hate you... but... you have to tell me... how you feel..."

"I don't have to tell you anything," he said, frowning. "I just helped you out. I think you owe me a favor, not the other way around."

She nearly yelled at him again, but instead, she decided to take a different approach. He likes me. I KNOW he does. I have to reach out to him... Trying to banish all the blocks in her mind that told her this was wrong, she leaned up in his arms, surprising him.

"Fine," she said softly. "Then I'll do you a favor..."

She leaned up, puckered her lips, and...

...found that Touji was now holding her a foot away from him.

"Don't think that's necessary," he rumbled, blushing slightly.

Momiji could only grit her teeth in frustration.

 

[hybirdx]

Eiji blushed slightly and scratched the back of his head lightly "...." Ok, living in solitude does have its draw backs... how do I react?!

**

One of Cerbies heads swet dropped, seeing that Lea just knocked Yoshiro silly Heh heh... I got an front view of the best comedy romance!

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Tetsuru saw Eiji's embarassment and laughed out loud.

"Eiji, hun, you don't have to get embarassed. You ARE cute." She smiled widely. "You could just thank me, ooooor..."

She leaned back, putting on her best smile. "You COULD say that I'm cute too..."

<<--->>

OOC
Okay, Cerberus is the bomb. Does he watch a lot of soap operas? ^_^

 

[hybirdx]

ooc: Sometimes. He usauly watches anime and wrestling, and sometimes the dicovery channel... Although Eiji blocked that channel for some reason.

Ic: Eiji had an sly smile on his face as he closed his eyes "You are cute Tetsuru, but I though you already knew that..."

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

OOC
Is that supposed to be "sly smile" or "shy smile"?

<<--->>

Tetsuru blushed slightly and smiled gently. "Yes," she said softly, "I do know that. But, Eiji..." She lowered her gaze modestly. "I need you to tell me that sometimes. I need to be reminded... it feels good..."

She grinned, cocking her head to the side like a curious puppy. "Didn't Mai teach you how to treat a lady, Eiji?" she asked, her voice taking that teasing tone again.

 

[hybirdx]

Eiji had his eyes looking at the sky "Uh..." She usauly just wallops me upside the head an call me an air head! Wait, there was that time she trid to teach me how to be curtious... So much help THAT was! "Well a bit yes..." Eiji said slightly embarassed.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Tetsuru smiled slyly. "Well, I'll help you learn how to treat a girl... how about that, Eiji? You train me in martial arts and I'll train you in how to make a girl feel good." She grinned. "I could start tonight, in fact."

Eeheehee... I know how you could make me feel good, Eiji dear...

 

[cats]

Lee and Rikku

IC: Rikku: "Okay your alive. So..." I looked at sparow. "Can you tell me what the hell happened with Tetsuya?" My mind trailed a moment on that name. Tetsuya shouldn't be this strong, nor should he be this furious. He dosen't think threw plans of revenge he thinks in poundings. Or at least thats the way he seemed at the tournament.

IC: Lee: "Well you asked me what you wanted to do? I figured sparing wasn't a bad idea. Come on that was a slow kick to you should of blocked it." Well prehaps it wasn't one of my more baked ideas.

"I got something to slow the bleeding in my room. Come on lets grab it." I turned to the hall and began to walk down it past Rikku's room Yoshiro fallowing. Wait a second. I stoped unshure as to contiune to my room and get it or prey Rikku had bandaids some where in easy reach.

"I guess I walked past it didn't I?" I turned around and entered Rikkus room. Her old cloaths were piled on the floor. She odvoisly didn't have good house keeping skills. Okay next move.

"Now where did I put them." I took a quick look on her dresser there she had her necklace, the one that kept death at bay. I was suprised she wasn't wearing it she said she had been wearing it sense before she gained her curse. I threw it on over my neck. I'll gie it to her when I see her. Now whats in the first drower. I opened it up watching Yoshiro hold his nose.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Yoshiro grinned. "Spar? Lea, I don't really want to fight you, not today..."

"Hey, don't worry," he said softly. "I think the bleeding's stopp--"

She opened the drawer... and revealed an unfolded suit of black, lacy lingerie...

Yoshiro's throat felt very, very dry. His gulp was quite audible.

"Nosebleed... starting... again..." he wheezed.

 

[cats]

Lee in "Flash back."

IC: "Oh your nose stoped bleeding." I looked into the drower, iside was the black lacy garment that rikku insited on bringing. Damn this is so not good. Welll actully it's not all that uncomfortable... what the hell did I just think.

I turned to Yoshiro his nose bleeding and mouth open in aw. I had seen this once before but wear. Ofcoarse the shirt I wore that night it had blood stains on it didn't it?

I was siting there intoxicated on the moment time was giveing me. Yoshiro was gently coressing my breast but some how I didn't care no one would know and he isn't the horible rapist I first took him to be.

We rolled the blanket on top of us to keep warm. He slid his body next to me, and then... his nose bleed.... I can't rember still... why can't I rember? My head began to ache.

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

Yoshiro saw Lea space out, and he was about to say something, before he remembered: My nose never bleeds... except for once...

Wait, when?

It came back to him, that night after the restaurant: his hands had strayed, and she was giving herself to him, and exstasy! Exstasy! He couldn't take it!

His nose started to bleed... he slipped, and his hand squeezed Lea's breast tightly... she moaned, and then slumped back... and then he collapsed.

Did she... faint?

Well, that's alright, but...

Did I faint?

No wonder I forgot! I wouldn't want to remember that!

He was lulled back into reality by a thin trickle of blood dribbling past his mouth.

"Uh, Lea," he rasped, his throat still dry, "would there be anything... somewhere else?" He just hoped his voice didn't crack.

 

[cats]

Lee

IC: 'A... Lea cluld there be something, some where else.' "Um... god I hope so." I said that under my breath vocalizeing my thoughts. Iwas nerves now. I pushed shut the drower and opened the one beneath it.

I looked inside horrified at what Rikku was bringing. There was a book on ballon animals a ruber cat ballon animal and a bunch of condoms. "Okay... I can explain this I really can.... But in the mean time.... lets forget about geting bandaids."

 

[hybirdx]

Eiji blushed slightly I have an bad feeling this is an trap.... What was that warning Mai gave me not too long ago?

***

"I would watch it Eiji"

"Why?"

"Lately the girls had been after you!"

Eiji stoped packing for an moment and turned to his sister, "yeah? So?"

Mai sighed and shook her head. "Airhead... I mean things are going to get weird for you if you're not careful!"

"..."

"You'll find out soon enough..."

***

"Ok... Sure." What have I got myself into now?

 

[Jacobo_Curious]

"Are those bandaids?"

Yoshiro moved forwards.

"W-Wait... those are... those are... nnnngh!"

He swallowed. He was now grasping his nose tightly, just in case, but he appeared to be maintaining his composure somehow.

"Lea," he breathed, "are you planning anything?"

He looked up into her eyes. She looked scared and embarassed. How can I make her feel safe?

He stepped forward gently, and released his nose, grasping her arms softly and reassuringly. Miraculously, his nose did not bleed. "Because if you are," he said softly, "I don't mind..."
