Tenshi<br/><br/>Amber froze and narrowed her eyes, "You won't get away with this. My husband is a naval officer!" She hissed at him, but followed his directions anyway. When she got to the bedroom, she immediately lifted a vase and hit him upside the head with it.<br/><br/>Aki smiled, "Give me two days and I will have you back in your apartment again. I promise, unless the danger isn't dealt with by then. But you will be able to go back to your apartment, sleep there, and live there again. Just give Brivariith, Chris, and I a few days to handle this. Okay?... And if you ever wish, I will dance with you anytime, anywhere." He smiled toothily at Vince, his slightly elongated canines shining a bit. When his phone went off, he took it out of his phone and read the messages from Chris. His eyes widened. "I thought something was up, but I didn't expect that. Oi, Brivariith! I think I managed to be matchmaker without meaning too. Chris and Jethro are together.â€<br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Chris smiled a dark and evil smile. "Hmmm? I won't will I? Pity...you won't be there to see it dearling." he said in a dark and demeaning way. "Yes. Yes. Naval officer. I'll make sure to leave him a calling card when I am through with you. So he'll know where to come for him to...attempt to kick my ass." He said. His fangs elongating as he flashed them at her. He blinked as she smashed a vase upside his head. He picked her up by her shirt and threw her onto the bed. "If I was human that would have hurt. If I was human...I'd possibly be unconscious." He pulled out the gun and pointed it at her. "Now...there is two ways this can go down. I can make you shoot yourself. Or you can get that nice little bottle of pills you left in plain view on that counter over there. There is no way to escape. Your bathroom doesn't have a windwo. Just a small gazing slit into the outside world. Much too small even for a skinny chika (demeaning slang term for woman) such as yourself to slip through. Whil you are in there...grab a cup of water." He said. Waving with the gun. "Get moving dearling...that way when I am through with you I have time to kill the naval officer. Not good to leave loose ends and all that jazz." His tone cold and evil. He approached her. "Get moving. I have no issues stripping you naked and redressing you in whatever slutty clothing I want you to wear before I fuck you. Though...that would be a bit disgusting...seeing as you are a chika...and not a lady." He said with a smirk. He unclicked the safety. "You know...I'm glad your bathroom door slides instead of shuts." He played it so she would think he had been in the house...numerous times.<br/><br/>Vince looked at him and listened to him. Sighing a bit and continued to listen. Looking at him searchingly. Then finally nodded his head. "Alright. I am holding you to your promise Aki. I will wait two days." He said with a smile. Letting out that musical almost giggle like sound. He tilted his head to the side and blinked a bit. He grinned a bit then blinked. "Chris and Jethro are together?" He said in a puzzled way. Who was Jethro? When did this happen?<br/><br/>Brivariith popped open in eye. "Eh? On what evidence do you speak such tomfoolery." He said with a laugh. "Yes yes. Matchmaker without "meaning" to. I think it was an undercover plot that was so undercover not even you were aware of it." He closed his eye again.<br/><br/>Vince looked at them. "What is going on? Who is Jethro?" He was so confused.<br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>She stared at him wide-eyed, before glancing between him and the gun. She got up and went into the bathroom, she got the water and came back. She glared at him, "Your just like that bastard of a husband. An unnatural freak. I'm glad he'll die, makes my job easier. Go ahead and kill me. He'll kill you in a sense of duty, before you can blink." She glared at him, staring him in the eyes.<br/><br/>Aki laughed, "I agree. I just amaze myself sometimes." He picked Vince up, sat in his chair, then sat Vince in his lap. "First, Chris told me they were together. Second, Jethro is a friend of mine that helps me in certain times of need. We always have Thanksgiving and Christmas together. Sometimes he is able to make it to Elizabeth's, but not always.â€<br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Chris looked at her and took the bottle from her. Opening it and set it on the counter. "Put the glass of water on the nightstand dearling. Pull out that pad of paper and that pen. You are gonna write a little note before you do the next thing I am going to tell you to do." He said in a cold and dark voice. He reached forward with his free hand and sadistically stroked her cheek. Reaching up into her hair and jerked her head back by it painfully. "Mmmm...then he'll be quite fun to play with before...I take his life with my bare hands." He said. Laughing darkly as she called him an unnatural freak. "My my...isn't that the nicest compliment a bar whore slut has ever called me. Why thank you...it is much nicer than being plan jane prostitute." he said in a twisted tone. "mHmm...he will kill me and I will come back. Rape him. Beat the shit out of him. Kill him. Then make sure you and him never have a happily ever after in the after life. For...he will have no afterlife." he jerked away from her and tore a few strands of her hair. Stuffing it into his pocket. "A little treasure for later dearling." He waved the gun. "Move and get that paper and pen." He said coldly. Looking her in the eyes. His eyes violent, possibly crazy, sadistic, cruel and cold. He put the gun up under her chin. "I'm not going to ask you again.â€-<br/><br/>Vince snuggled into Aki and suctioned to his warmth. "Just because they are together doesn't mean they are...together together." he said seriously. Listening to him explain who Jethro is. "Chris doesn't let people into that inner bubble of his." He said unconvincedly. He looked down. "I don't celebrate those holidays. Chris tried with Thanksgiving but...it always felt so empty. With them gone...it just felt empty. So I didn't celebrate it. Treated it like any other day." He laid his head against Aki's chest. "Well if they are together together...that'll do Chris some good.â€<br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>She was freaking out. Amber got the pad and pen, Jethro should have been home by now. Where was he? She sneered at him to hide her fear.<br/><br/>"Chris's text to my understanding, meant together together. Vince..." He lifted Vince's face with his fingers under Vince's chin, making Vince look at him. "You now have an extended family who will all celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas with you and Chris from here on out." He kissed Vince's forehead and released his hold on Vince's chin.<br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Chris smiled darkly. "Now...you are going to write exactly what I tell you. In your actual hand that you write with. I will know if you don't. If you try to deceive me I will show you how I really real rape you if you do not follow my every order." he said coldly. He smirked. "You are going to write in your own words how you have sinned upon the world. how the many dark deeds and threats you have made over the years has began to weigh heavily upon your soul. That it has begin to cause depression the way you make others feel fear and hatred. That it has become a guilty conscience upon the very fibers of your being. That it has become too much to bear...that you could take it no longer. Then you will sign it your name. If I am satisfied it is in your own wording and in your proper handwriting ..or you will not like how harshly and violently I will take claim to you." He said cruely. "Now get to writing." he said. Putting the gun to her head but did not pull the trigger. He then pulled back some.-<br/><br/>Vince made a face. Then made a musical laugh. "I just have a hard time believing Chris is with someone after being so adament that he was quite happy being solo. And..." He cut off hearing his name and feeling fingers lifting his face from under his chin. His cheeks flushed as he listened to him. His eyes going wide as he said that. His cheeks flushed a darker shade at the kiss to his forehead. His fingers touching his chin then his forehead. Followed by him hugging into him. Nuzzling the warmth. "Warmth...warmth..." He said quite happily. Closing his eyes and opened them. Looking up at him with puppy dog eyes. "Chocolate?" he said hopefully.<br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>Amber immediately started writing. Jethro wasn't coming home. She'd die and the blackmail will be sent. She didn't mind him being blackmailed, she just wished she'd see Jethro die. When she finished, the pen shook so much in her hand it fell to the floor.<br/><br/>Aki chuckled, "I can get you some. Dark or milk? Almonds or not?" He reached over and picked up his reciever, pressing the button. "There are some dishes in my study, I'd like that report, and some..." He looked down at Vince for what he wanted.<br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Chris looked at her. "Take those pills. Every last one of them. Down them with the water. Two at a time." He said coldly. The blackmail would not be sent. He was going to destroy it before it left. The few who had it would be hunted down and mercilessly destroyed.. He clicked the safety off again. "Don't worry...your lover will be next. I will be taking the most valuable things in this place. The rest is useless to me. They'll find your body...a day a few or more." He said in an amused voice. "Hurry it up dear. You are quite attractive in a slutty bitch sort of way. I'd love to sink my fangs into you some." He smirked already. "I already checked before coming here chika...your husband...stuck at work. Apparently some destruction has caused him much chaos. It'll be quite fun draining him dry." He waved the gun. "Begin bitch. I tire of these games.â€-<br/><br/>Vince cheered as he said he could have chocolate. "Milk. Dark is too sweet." he said with a laugh. "Icky...almonds and chocolate should never mix." He made a cute face. Then smiled. "Yuuuuuuuuum chocolate." he had a dreamy look on his face. Looking at him and grinned. "thank you!â€<br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>She picked up the glass after opening the pills, pouring them out onto her side table. "Have your fun with him. He wasn't worth these past years anyway." She knew she'd die because of the man anyway. She did as she was told and finished off all of the pills.<br/><br/>Aki smiled, "And some milk chocolate." He hung up the receiver. "Your welcome, little one." He looked over at Brivariith and Elizabeth, "She warm enough?" His hand rubbing up and down Vince's arm slowly as he began to purr.<br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Chris looked at the woman. Watching her as she poured out the pills. He just watched her. Smirking a bit. "Mhmmm....he'll be fun for the moments that it lasts. Men usually are more fun because when they put up a fight...it actually kinda hurts at times." He said coldly. He waited for the overdose of the pills to kick in. It was a slow process but he could see her eyes closing. Hear her pulse slowing. Still he waited. He waited until the color faded from her skin. Watched as her eyes fell closed all the way. Hearing the last few beatings of the woman's heart. Then...he went over and checked for a pulse. Listening to her chest. Nothing. She was dead. He left her where she laid and went to the closet. Grabbing ahold of the safe. Remembering the numbers he had been told he slipped the gun away. Safety on. Entering the code and pulled out everything that had been kept from jethro. Opening the laptop. Then wiped everything from the data banks. The emails she had sent he attached a virus that would destroy those emails the minute they were opened. He kept working until he was certain the only people he would have to deal with...was the independent hit men. They would be next. They would be killed for real. There would be no faked suicide for them. He wiped everything from the computer. Taking everything and left. Locking the house up after wiping prints. Leaving it where it looked like she was and had been the only one there. Flitting off to his house. Putting the papers in the fire to burn. Then went upstairs to check on Jethro. He would deal with the independent hit men later. He turned his phone back on. ~Phase one complete. I might enlist you and only you for phase 2~ Flitting upstairs and moved to sitting on the bed next to Jethro Stroking the hair out of his face. Snickering a bit.-<br/><br/>Vince looked at him when he heard the words chocolate milk. Smiling at him and snuggled in more. "Even chocolate milk...yuuuuuuum." He said with a big old grin. Blushing deep red as he felt Aki's hand rubbing up and down his arm. Then the purring started. He closed his eyes. "So what we doing later?" He asked softly.<br/><br/>Brivariith opened one eye and nodded his head. She was now warm even to him. Meant she had to be toasty enough. His eye closed and he started to snooze with his mate. Wasn't like he'd be able to move until she was ready to move anyways. Not that he minded in the slightest.<br/><br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>Jethro's eyes opened slightly and he looked up at Chris sleepily. His hand slipped out of the covers and he pulled on Chris's pants, "Sweep..." He slurred slightly. Blinking slowly, barely able to keep his eyes open. No matter how much he wanted to just stare at Chris.<br/><br/>Aki snickered and kissed the top of his head. "Don't know. What did you and Elizabeth do while we were gone?"<br/><br/>Elizabeth opened her eyes and blinked. She was burning up. She felt most of the heat radiating from something she was on, she looked at it. It was Brian. She blinked and looked around. She heard Aki's last question. "Aki no baka..." She said sleepily. (Aki you idiot.)<br/><br/>He looked up at her with a raised eyebrow, "What did I do this time?"<br/><br/>She blinked and yawned, her jaw unhinging then clicking back into place. She couldn't cover her mouth with her hand because they were wrapped tightly into her cocoon. So, Aki and probably Vince saw her mouth open about five inches wide. "Wings..." She muttered.<br/><br/>Aki blinked and looked at Brivariith confused, then down at Vince. "What is she talking about, little one?â€<br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Chris looked at Jethro when he slightly opened his eyes. Looking down into Jethro's sleepy gaze. He chuckled as Jethro pulled on his pants. "I don't think you have enough energy from another round navy man." he said with a teasing smile and a bit of a smirk. He sighed and kicked off his shoes. He climbed up onto the bed as best he could with Jethro holding onto his pants. Putting the phone on the nearby nightstand. Covering himself up with Jethro. "Demanding...." He smirked and nuzzled Jethro. Nipping his cheek.-<br/><br/>Vince looked at him. "We talked and then ate then talked some more." He said with a smile. He looked to Elizabeth as she spoke. Giggling a bit as he heard wings. Flushing a bit as he heard what she muttered.<br/><br/>Brivariith opened an eye as Elizabeth moved around. Snickering as he heard the word and looked at Aki. "Is that so Akihiko?" He closed his eyes again and remained all lazy like.<br/><br/>Vince tapped his fingers together. "We were talking and um..." He looked down. "Oh you know when..." He looked at the door. He was moving to bolt. This was a very awkward conversation. His cheeks flushed.<br/><br/>Brivariith snickered but otherwise didn't move.<br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>Jethro just snuggled into Chris, nuzzling into Chris's chest. "Ni. Ni..."<br/><br/>Aki just blinked, confused. He wrapped his arms around Vince and kept him in his lap, "I know what?" He gave a small glare to Brivariith. "Not helping there.â€<br/><br/>Elizabeth snuggled into Brian's arms, "Vince washed Aki's wings..." She mumbled.<br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Chris held his lover close. Wrapping his arms around him. "Yes. Yes. Get some sleep. Much too early for me." He said. Laying his head on Jethro's. Closing his eyes. This was so perfect...would it be taken away from him as well. As he drifted off to sleep a face he recognized but had banished deep into the core of his being appeared before his mental eyes. A man with amber hair instead of the light honey blond it was now. Darkened by the evil that was within him. Eyes that were bloody red without the soft greenish color they now held. An outfit he long since locked away. A dark red silk nobles dress shirt. A pair of black gothic pants with chains on the sides and around the waist. A long trenchcoat with a collar that stood straight up. Around the neck was a spiked collar. From his right ear dangled a black thin chain housing a medium sized black cross that was adorned with blood rubies on the ends and center. Black boots that went up his leg some finished off the look. Two handles rested upon his waist. Eyes cold and without the easy going warmth he now held. The man he saw...was the nightmare he had once been....many many centuries ago. His other self was moving its lips but he quickly jolted awake. Sitting up quickly and panting. He did not want to lose himself to the darker him. It was just a dream...but it had seemed so real. Like looking at himself in a mirror and instead of seeing the him he was now...seeing the him who he had once been. He shook his head. Just a dream. Letting out a bit of evil must have brought it to mind. He was fine as he could control it. His darker side was no more. Gone. He would never be back. He laid back down but just stared at the ceiling. An omen? Perhaps...it could be. It could be. Of what? He was uncertain. He would just let it go and not mention it.-<br/><br/>Brivariith opened and eye as Elizabeth snuggled into his arms and spoke. "hahaha is that so love." He snickered a bit. "So you let him do it?" He said while closing his eyes.<br/><br/>Vince blinked as arms wrapped around him and kept him in his lap. Squirming a bit then gave up. Just staying where Aki had determined he was staying. "Um...we talked about stuff...and um.." He couldn't see to find his tongue really.<br/><br/><br/>Tenshi<br/><br/>Jethro woke when Chris sat up. He blinked and watched Chris as he gathered his memories. His eyes widened and a smile lit his face when he remembered what had happened earlier or the day before. He frowned when he saw the look on Chris's face, when Chris laid down. He put his arm over Chris's chest, lifted himself slightly, and kissed Chris on the lips chastly, "You okay...?" He looked down at Chris, slowly becoming fully awake. Once he had balance, the hand on the arm that draped over Chris's chest went up to Chris's face and stroked his cheek softly, â€œChris?â€<br/><br/>Aki heard what Elizabeth said and blushed, burying his face in Vince's hair. Not saying anything, just holding Vince close. That should have been answer enough.<br/><br/>Zoruna<br/><br/>Chris had not meant to wake Jethro. He didn't even at first realize he had. He was regathering himself. Putting him back into his center...so to speak. He looked to Jethro in time to see the man's eyes widen and the smile light up his face. A chuckle escaping his lips. "You slept quite a long time. Almost into the next day." He said. The smile was on his face but his eyes...his eyes held a different story. That was slowly fading away as it was buried once more. His own smile faded and back to the ceiling he was looking. Until he felt an arm go over his chest. He looked down to see Jethro hovering over him slightly. Giving him a slight kiss. "Yes. I'm fine. Just a dream..." He said softly. He didn't stay looking at him until he felt the hand stroking his cheek. Moving and looked at him. Touching the hand on his cheek. "I'll be fine. It was just a dream. I haven't had them very often in a long time. Just caught me off guard." He said. He was and was not telling the truth. He pulled Jethro to laying mostly on top of him. "He buried his face in Jethro's shoulder.. He spoke against Jethro's shoulder. "if...I should ever not be me...I want...you, Aki and Vince...to stay away from me. I want you to do that okay? I need you to tell me that you will do that...if...I am ever not the me you know." He then fell silent. Closing his eyes and taking in Jethro's scent. Whispering in Romanian. "niciodatÄƒ." (never again) He held Jethro as he used him to bring himself back to ease. "You don't need to worry about the wifey anymore." He said. Changing the subject. "She committed suicide. Left a note in her handwriting with her signature." He nuzzled him. "I made sure no government agencies had any of the email. I will take care of the independent hit men soon. Just be careful in the meantime. It is over Jethro...you don't have to...keep yourself from being you anymore. No more tip toeing." He kissed the man's neck lightly. Wrapping him in his arms tightly. "Don't move...just let me...hold you." He said softly. Right now...Jethro was how he was bringing himself back to his full and complete level of him. Pushing away all of the evil. "I'm okay...I'm okay." He said softly. "Voi vÄƒ proteja Jethro ... chiar de la monstru am fost odatÄƒ." (I will protect you Jethro...even from the monster I once was.) He said softly in Romanian.-<br/><br/>Vince blushed and cuddled with Aki. Right about then someone knocked on the door announcing they had chocolate. "CHOCOLATE!" He said. Nomming on Aki's arm. "They brought the chocolate." He was excited. Hyper even. It was a really weird burst of energy. He could only blame it upon the fact he was craving something and he was being able to satisfy that craving. He stopped and sat still. Leaning into Aki as the burst of energy left him.<br/><br/>Brivariith snorted in amusement as he had slitted open one eye. "Aye...so it is then. So it is." He closed his eye all the way. Stroking his mates back. "Nice and comfy love?" He asked snickering at Vince. "Hahahahaha my sister would get quite like that when someone gave her something she was craving really badly. It was always amusing. It is gone as quickly as it comes.â€
