</div>A ride.<br/><br/>That's all it was. An innocent ride in Iris' car, with Terry's credit card, to get enough food for the fam-damn-ily. There was nothing wrong with what they were doing but the old feelings of guilt still tugged at him.<br/><br/>"Oh, there's pizza on the way," he volunteered when Iris worried about the time it took. He was already heading towards the door. Then he paused, leaning against the door frame as he waited for Iris to give Terry her number.<br/><br/>Okay, that was two things that Iris had at 19 that Kenji didn't have at 26. A car and a cell phone. What else did she have that he did not?<br/><br/><i>A girlfriend, probably,</i>his inner thoughts snarked at him.<br/><br/>Kenji coughed into his fist, then raised his eyebrows innocently at Iris' question. "I was born ready," he grinned. He cast one more look at Terry before turning to follow Iris from the manor. "So…" he gave each room a quick glance as they walked through, then realized he was looking for Tristan. Somehow, even after all of these years, it still felt like he was doing something wrong by being with one of the "littles" on his own.<br/><br/>Only the littles weren't so little anymore.<br/><br/>"How do you like Z-Triple-C?" he asked. Then he quickly followed with, "Are you planning to transfer to Z-U?"<br/><br/><i>Please don't let Tristan catch us.</i>
