Recap:

“Git will be fine with him. He won't hurt him. Why did you do it?” Alix asked, gently applying the bandage to his hand.

“Because I hate to see you sad, Butterfly. If he loves you like you claim he does, then he shouldn't be treating you this way.” Fenik replied sadly

Alix sighed loudly. “Don't worry about it, okay? I'll sort this out on my own.”

“Okay. I trust you on this. I smell tears once more from you I will kill him.”

“Oo n find it in my favorites, both under author and stories! Enjoy!cameo appearnces. If you want to see the two of them in all thkay then. Deal. I need to go see him.” She grimaced playfully at her friends before making her way upstairs to see her boyfriend. She was hoping he was willing to talk.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*

 

Fenik sighed loudly. Again. Alix raised an eyebrow at him. She didn't say anything, but kept casting curious glances at her older friend. Fenik stuck his tongue out at her in a playful manner.

“Alix. This party thing, are you sure it's a good idea?” he asked finally as the young girl threw a handful of flour at him.

“Fenik it's a party. Been to plenty of them before. Nothing will happen. I will be fine.”

“Why isn't Kyo going again?” he asked, dusting him self off and glaring softly at the girl.

Alix smiled innocently at him. “He said he didn't want to. He would rather `spend time with Rat-boy then go to a stupid party.' I don't know what he thinks sometimes.” She replied, using quoting fingers and mimicking Kyo's voice. She put the cake tin in the oven and washed her hands before turning to back to him.

“Yes well I think he is a weird boy. For treating you so badly.”

“Fenik. You hate any guy I become friends with.”

“Not true, missy. Yuki and Haru are fine. In fact why aren't you with either of them?” he asked as she put the ingredients away in the pantry and put her apron up on the hook next to the oven.

“Because Yuki is with Tohru, and Haru is with Momiji. I love Kyo. You will just have to deal. Come on.”

She took his hand and made him follow her outside into the living room where the others were watching a DVD. She smiled at them all and left Fenik there to go upstairs and get dressed. She washed her hair as she showered.

 

Stepping out of the bathroom, wrapped in her towel, she found every one in her room, all piled on her bed. Fenik was lying on his back with his head on her pillows, with Momiji sitting on his chest. Yuki was sitting up with Tohru in his lap, and Kagura was sitting with Haru. Gitoumaru was sitting on the floor to the side of the bed with Momiji playing with his long dark blue hair. She shook her head and sighed as she walked into her closet to get dressed. She came back out dressed in her clothes for the party later that afternoon. A pair of long black pants with sequined butterflies on the legs and a top that Kagura had bought for her; a strappy black top with straps holding the back together and a large diamante butterfly on the front. Fenik let loose a whistle, making her blush as she made her way to her dresser to brush her and put her make up on.

“Alix, you look beautiful.”

“No, I look average. Gimme ten minutes, then I will look better.” She turned her backs on them and fiddled with the things on her dresser. When she had finished she turned back around to face them. Her black hair had been pulled up into a half ponytail with a few strands loose to curl around her cheeks. Her sky blue eyes were enhanced with black eyeliner, mascara and eye-shadow and her lips were covered in a sheer glossy red. “See? All better.”

A loud growl filled the room, and Alix found Momiji scrambling on her back two seconds after it started.

Git had a soft smirk on his face as Alix looked at Fenik curiously. “Fenik, what's wrong?”

Yuki raised his eye brow at Alix. “You can tell their growls apart?”

Alix just smiled at him. “I have known Fenik for a long time, and I have known Git for a few years, yes I learnt to tell them apart. Git doesn't growl so much. But Fenik growls a lot. Fenik, what's up?” she asked as he leapt up from the bed and stormed over to her.

“Wash it off and change.” He said in a low voice as he pulled Momiji off her back and set the young blonde gently on his feet.

“Fenik?”

“Change. You aren't going.” He said again.

Alix frowned at him. “I promised I would go. What's biting your ass?”

“There will be boys at this party. Young horny boys. You aren't going.”

Alix laughed softly and threw her self at him. “Fenik, I love you, but you are too protective. I will knock their socks off, and if any of them do anything I know you will rip their balls off, so it's all good. Come on, my cake should be almost ready. I'll give you all a slice.” She kissed Fenik's cheek and motioned for them to all follow her downstairs. Once they were all down stairs and seated around the island in the middle of the kitchen, Alix set to work on pulling her cake out of the oven and removing it from the tin. She pulled a knife out and sliced it into pieces, gasping when they all reached out and grabbed a slice before she had a chance to get plates for everyone. A chorus of pleased moans and two purrs filled the kitchen as they all ate their piece of cake. Alix smiled as she rinsed the knife under the tap and left it beside the sink. She put the rest of the cake into a container and put it in the fridge before any of them could ask for a second piece. She laughed when Fenik frowned and begged for more.

“Nope. Have to save some for the others. Aya would be very disappointed if he missed out. I'll make another one tomorrow.” She glanced at the hungry looks on their faces. “Maybe another three. Or just one each.”

They all laughed with her as Fenik tried to sneak into the fridge. She flicked one of his fur pointed ears softly as he tried to remove a piece from the container.

“Fenik. Bad dog!” She scolded playfully as she tugged him back by his hair. Git laughed as Fenik resorted to whimpering like a puppy to get more. He laughed even harder when Alix had to turn away from him. Fenik had allowed his markings to show and had pulled the puppy dog eyes that Alix always found hard to say no to.

She had closed her eyes as she faced away from him, “No Fenik. It's not fair on the others. And if I find pieces missing when I get back, some one will be in trouble.”

She sighed in relief when the whimpering stopped and turned around only to find Fenik right in her face, with the cutest puppy eyes. She clasped her hands over her mouth tightly and looked over at Git, pleading him to do something. Git laughed as he walked over to Fenik and pulled him away from Alix, emitting low growls at his friend. Fenik growled back with a smirk on his face. Alix gave him the one fingered salute as Git removed him from the kitchen, the growls still coming from the pair of them. She sighed loudly and glanced at the clock on the wall.

“I need to finish getting ready. You guys make sure he doesn't nick any okay?” She rushed back upstairs to finish up and grab her jacket. She came back down the stairs to find Fenik standing at the front door waiting for her.

She smiled at him as she approached him.

“Now, Missy. You behave. No bringing home any boys, if you get into trouble call us, or scream real loud. Okay?”

“Yes dad.” She said mockingly. She frowned suddenly.

Fenik hugged her close. “This is what he would have done to you too, butterfly. I'm sure he is looking down at you and thinking the exact same thing I am. Be careful, okay?”

“Okay, I promise. I'll see you later.” She kissed his cheek and hugged him back before leaving and closing the door after her.

 

An hour after Alix had left the Sohmas left for home. They bade Git and Fenik good bye and walked down the long path to the front gates.

As soon as they left Fenik went straight to Suki in the kitchen and begged her to bake another cake for him, for dessert. Suki laughed at his tactics and agreed, if he would whimper for her. He complied and was rewarded with a request to get the ingredients ready along with the tin. He pulled the ingredients out from their places and set it on the counter. Then sat him self down at the island and waited for Suki to start on it, fidgeting impatiently like a child. Git walked in and laughed. He offered to help Suki so she could start on the cake for Fenik. He took over her preparations for dinner and let her wash her hands to start, laughing at his friend as his eyes lit up as he watched Suki make the cake mix.

Kyo got home just before dinner was ready. He asked where Alix as, and was reminded about the party. Dinner between the four of them as quiet, with a DVD playing for them to watch till Alix got home.

Another three DVDs later the sound of the front door being opened had Fenik leaping up with a worried look on his face. Git had a frown on his face, but remained seated. Suki raised an eyebrow at the older male, hoping for an answer. She got her answer when Fenik walked back into the room with a swaying Alix leaning heavily on him for support. Fenik was growling pretty loudly at Alix with a sad frown on his face. Kyo leapt up and took Alix from Fenik. Fenik continued his growls, but aimed them at Git.

“Alix, what the fuck happened to you?” Kyo asked as he pulled her down into his lap as he sat on the floor. She stared at him for several minutes before smiling widely.

“Kyo! I love you!” she slurred out, and Kyo choked on the fumes coming from her.

“Alix, you reek, what on earth have you been drinking?!” he asked as she proceeded to sneak her hands under his shirt.

Fenik's growls got louder and Suki whispered something to him. He stopped his growling long enough to reply to her before suddenly getting up and storming out of the house. Kyo watched him as he left, a curious look on his face, but quickly turned his attention back to the drunk girl in his lap who currently had her head under his shirt and was nuzzling her cheek against his chest.

“Alix, come one, you need to have a shower. And now would be a good idea.” He managed to get Alix to her feet, with out transforming, and helped her stagger to the stairs that lead upstairs to the second floor of the house.

The others in the living room were watching Fenik, who had returned, and who's markings had started to show.

Suki frowned and stood up. She sighed heavily before going around the house turning off unused light that had been left on, and started cleaning up the kitchen. Fenik had ceased his growls once Alix had left the room. Git sighed loudly as well before relaxing back on the couch he was sitting on.

 

Upstairs in Alix's room, Kyo had a hard time trying to convince Alix to have a cold shower to cool off. He had succeeded, how ever, in getting her undressed for the shower. She had quite willingly taken her top off for him, and insisted on taking his off as well. Now he sat on her bed, sighing in annoyance as she proceeded to shower his body with sloppy kisses. She obviously had the idea of having sex with him stuck in her brain….but he knew she didn't really want it; hence why he had not responded to any of her advances. The fumes coming from the alcohol she had consumed during the party hung around her like a bad stench. He wanted to get rid of it as it made him nauseous.

She stopped her assault of kisses to look up at him, and then to try and kiss him. That he put a stop to and stood up rather fast, resulting in her loosing her balance and flopping onto the bed.

“Alix, this is stupid! Just go and have a damn shower.” He snapped at her, regretting it as soon as the words left his mouth. Her body froze, her bottom lip began to tremble and the expected beads of tears formed in her eyes before she let out a sad wail and sobbed her little heart out on her bed. A second later a growl filled the room and Fenik stood in the door way, glaring daggers at him.

Kyo sighed in surrender. “You do it. She won't listen to me.” He took one last look at his sobbing girlfriend before sighing again and turning to leave.

He wasn't expecting the older male to stop him as he was leaving.

Fenik seemed to be having an internal argument with himself as he prevented the younger teen from leaving the room.

“Don't leave her.”

“I am too tired to put up with her like this. You do it. She listens to you.”

“Not all the time she doesn't. But she always listens to you. You just haven't paid enough attention to see that.”

“She's not listening now.”

Fenik growled. “That's the alcohol affecting her. She is never her self once she has been drinking.”

“Yes and its getting on my nerves.”

“How do you think she feels when you do the same thing she is doing now?”

“I'm never drunk.”

“You never listen to her either.”

Kyo raised an eyebrow. He crossed his arms.

“Don't think I don't know. She tells me everything that happens between you two. Letters, emails and phone-calls, all of them letting me know what stupid thing you did that day, or what bullshit you said to her. I am truly amazed that she has stayed with you this long.”

“Yeah that amazes me but for different reasons.” Kyo replied back.

Fenik laughed then. “You really think she would leave you for a little thing like you looking butt-ugly for a few hours?”

“Excuse me?”

“I know about the Sohma curse, dumb cat. And what you are so freaking worried about.” He glanced at his young friend, still crying on the bed. “She really loves you. And if you love her like you say you do, you will believe me, when I say that she will love you no matter what you look like. Be it your ugly self now, a dumb cat, or that hideous monster that you become. She loves you with all her heart, and I think she needs to be shot for it.”

“You don't know what you are talking about. You haven't seen what I look like when I...become that monster.” He fidgeted uncomfortably under Fenik's gaze.

“On the contrary. I have. Believe it or not... the night that Kira left you, I was the one to return your bracelet to you. No one else would go near you because of what that ass of a family head said to them. She is very happy with you, happier than she has been in years. Don't blow it. When the time comes for her to see your other form, and trust me, Akito will make sure she does; don't doubt her so much.”

“For a smart-ass, hot-tempered, over-protective demon... you aren't so bad.”

“And for a self-centered, self-absorbed, hot-headed, temperamental Teenage boy... you are an ass who underestimates his friends.” Fenik replied with a smirk. “but you have a good heart, when you listen to it.”

Kyo smiled slightly. “Yeah I guess you're right...” he looked over at his girlfriend who had stopped crying but was sitting up, frowning with tears still running down her cheeks. “Gimme a hand in getting her in the shower?”

Fenik smirked widely, “Sure. But you won't like how I do it.” He peeled his shirt off, revealing his lithe but toned body and dropped his concealing spell, allowing his hip markings to show. He walked over to Alix and spoke quietly to her. She stopped her tears and looked up at her friend, smiling widely.

Kyo watched in shock as Kira practically threw her self at the older male, kissing her way down his body to the hip markings. Fenik stood up and told her to follow if she wanted to touch them; and soon enough he had her under a cold shower, shivering, but slightly more sane and sober than what she had been. She was sitting under the waterfall of water, pressed up against Fenik, has his arms were wrapped around her shoulders. What shocked Kyo the most was that the tears had come back. And he didn't know why.

“Alix?” he asked, coming over to the pair and sitting down beside them.

“I'm sorry Kyo.”

Kyo frowned. “No. Don't be. I love you, okay?”

She looked up at him, with a small confused smile.

He sighed. “That was long over due, and I am sorry for it.” He ran a finger along her wet cheek and smiled at her. “I love you.”

“I love you too.”

 

 

 

An hour later, Fenik and Kyo put Alix to bed after changing her into some pyjamas. Fenik surprised Kyo, by being able to remove her bra, from under her Night top, to save her modesty. Kyo helped tuck her in and kissed her gently before turning the light off and leaving the room with Fenik. Down stairs, Git was watching TV with Suki. Hatori was also sitting on the couch with a cup of tea in his hand. Kyo flopped on the floor and sighed to him self.

Hatori turned his attention to Fenik. “I have been told that you weren't responsible for this episode.”

Fenik growled. “Of course I wasn't. I would never let her get drunk out of my sight, or my house. Let alone with a bunch of horny male teens either.”

“So... I do wonder what made her drink. She has remained sober since she came to Japan. That's almost a year now. It seems odd for her to suddenly be drunk.” He turned his attention to Kyo.

Kyo frowned. “I think it was me. Maybe Fenik is right. I didn't listen and it was too much for her.”

Fenik laughed. “No, stupid Cat. She didn't because of you. There are drugs in her system too. She hates drugs, so she didn't do it willingly.”

Hatori dropped his empty cup. “Drugs? Why on earth didn't you tell me? She needs antibiotics. I need to find out what drugs she has taken.” He left the room and headed out side to his car.

Kyo's frowned deepened. She had drugs in her system. He would have known if she was doing drugs, and she sure as hell wasn't. He stood back up and made his way back upstairs to Alix room and slipped onto the bed beside her sleeping form. He frowned at her sleeping face. Soon enough the other for made their way into her room as well; Hatori with his back of tricks and Fenik with a scowl on his face. Fenik and Git started sniffing at Alix's wet clothe. Suki sat on the end of the bed with a frown as Hatori set to work giving her a few shots of antibiotics. Fenik and Git started conversing in a series of growls. Git came over to Hatori and whispered something into his ear. Hatori nodded and put his things away in his bag. They all left the room and the pair of them alone.

 

Hatori sighed over another cup of tea.

“Her drinks were spiked.” Fenik growled out. “I knew she shouldn't have gone looking like that. I should have stopped her.”

“Fenik. No one could have known some one was going to spike her drinks.” Hatori said calmly. “But I mean, to put meth in a young girls drink, its very disturbing.”

“If it was that Haru kid I'm gonna skin him like the cow he is.”

“You could smell Hatsuharu on her? I thought those two had ended it.. And Alix isn't the type to cheat, or sneak around...Something is defiantly up, and I plan to get o the bottom of it. Suki, which friend threw this party?”

“One of the other girls at a different school. It was a chaperoned party. Her parents were at the party along with her aunt and uncle. I don't know how this could have happened.”

“I will need a name, address and a phone number. They will be hearing about this. Alix is legally my charge, not the Evans, and I want to find out who did this to her.” He sipped the last of his tea. “I will be back tomorrow morning. She should wake up around noon. Haru will be joining us as well. I think his story would be very interesting.”

He thanked Suki for the tea and left the kitchen. Fenik and Git bade Suki goodnight with a kiss on either cheek and sent them selves off to bed. Suki finished cleaning up the kitchen and putting the cups in the dishwasher before sending her self off to bed as well.

 

The next morning Suki woke up first and set about the task of opening the living room and making breakfast with the help of the cook. By the time Hatori and Haru arrived at seven, breakfast was ready and the two other males in the house made their way down stairs, looking rather drowsy, still dressed in their night clothes, consisting of pyjama bottoms only. They sat down in front of the able, thanked Suki and began eating.

Haru and Hatori began eating as well. Suki went upstairs to wake Kyo and get him to come down stairs and eat something. Hatori greeted Kyo, and Fenik pulled a chair up for him as he sat down and began shoveling food in his mouth. He finished quickly and left the room silently.

Twenty minutes later, after every one else had finished eating, they helped Suki with the dishes and all went upstairs to Alix's room, where they found Kyo back in the bed, lying with her, a frown on his face as he watched his girlfriend sleep.

 

Soon enough after the others had seated them selves around the room, Alix showed signs of waking up. She yawned quietly and squeaked in pain. Fenik was up in an instant, whimpering softly, but restrained him self from going to her. Git frowned from his spot beside Fenik, and growled quietly at his friend.

Alix squealed again, and whimpered in pain. She opened her eyes slowly. Her blue eyes were unfocused as she moved her head to voices she could hear.

“Kyo?” she asked softly.

Kyo rubbed his hand down her arm softly and kissed her cheek. “I'm here.” He replied just as quiet.

 

 

Hatori was not happy with her hang over that morning. Haru was sitting on the bed beside Alix. The others were sitting around the room, and Sae had dropped in for a visit. She was filled in on the situation and was waiting patiently for an answer.

Haru sighed. “Yeah I was at the party.”

“And what happened? I would like to know why Alix was drunk and drugged.”

“Alix...She had one drink. Some guys, they were trying to get her to go home with them. After she told them no, they left for a while... and they, I think they spiked her drink. Because she got very drunk... and the drink she had, had hardly any alcohol in it. They came back and asked again... surprisingly she still said no... I walked past to keep an eye on it, and she spotted me, leaping onto me and telling me she missed me. She was trying to give the guys a hint, by claiming me as her boy friend, so they would get lost. Well... they watched us for a while...so to make it seem real. We kissed a few times. They still didn't get the hint, so I took her to a corner where they would see. And we...”

Alix squealed. “We did, didn't we? Oh my god... I am a whore! I cheated on my boy friend!” She leapt up from the bed, as tears made their way down her cheeks in a steady flow. She made to run out of the room, But Git walked over to her, and hugged her close, whispering into her ears as the other conversation continued.

Kyo sat silently on the other side of the bed, glaring his cousin to death as he waited for the rest of the story. He promised Alix he would listen before yelling and screaming. Haru frowned at Alix's re-action.

“We ended up making out. The guys took the hint and left, muttering under their breaths. I told Alix to stop. But she was out of it. I gave in, and we made out for much longer. I guess though, I would rather her making out with me, where I knew where she was, than off with another guy.”

Hatori sighed. “Well that explains that.” He said looking at Fenik. Fenik growled softly.

“Now, Alix. I want a name please. Who held the party?”

A quivering Alix, sitting in Git's lap on the floor near the door, hiccupped before answering. “Sara. It was chaperoned.”

“Alright. Suki, I want a phone number and an address. Now I suggest every one leave, so Kyo and Alix can talk.”

Hatori ushered every one out of them room, except for Git who refused to budge.

Git tried to coax Alix out of his lap, and moved her onto the bed beside Kyo.

“Butterfly, you need to work this out with him,” he said softly. He kissed the top of her head. “ I will be right outside okay. Nothing to worry about.”

He looked at Kyo before leaving the room silently and closing the huge door behind him.

Kyo sighed loudly and looked at Alix sadly. “I still love you, Alix. I don't blame you for anything.”

Alix shook her head vigorously. “I shouldn't have gone to the party in the first place. I should have known it would have gone badly.”

“Alix. You could not have known those guys were going to spike your drink.”

Alix continued to shake her head at him, and curled herself up into a ball on her bed. Kyo sighed again.

This was not going how he wanted it. He wanted her to just accept that he was okay with it, and that it didn't matter to him. All he cared about, was that she was now safe, and not in some other guy's bed.

He moved over to her, and held her to him, tucking her head under his chin, as he held her tightly, rubbing his hand up and down her back. She started hiccupping as her tears faded, and snuggled back into him further.

He smiled softly and held her tighter. “Alix, it's okay. I know the truth, and its all okay. Please stop bashin' your self over this.”

Alix remained quiet. Finally she spoke. “I didn't want to do it. It was the only way out of going with those guys.”

“I know that. It's alright. I forgive- I don't need to forgive you. You did the smart thing.”

“Okays. I love you Kyo. And I would never do anything to hurt you.”

“I know that babe. Just, come down and have something to eat. It will make you feel better.”

 

 

Downstairs, Suki had prepared a huge breakfast for everyone, from rice and fish, to a bowl of coco pops, for Fenik, who growled when any one came too close for his liking. Alix was seated at a spot on the island in the kitchen, and a plate of food was placed in front of her. She nibbled at it slowly, and down some pain killers with some juice. Every one spoke over breakfast, about what they were all going to do that day. Alix was going to remain at home where suki could keep an eye on her after reactions to the drug, and the antibodies currently working inside her. Fenik and Git had planned to go shopping, and were taking Sae with them. Haru was going to go home and work on some home work, and spend some time with Momiji.

Breakfast didn't stay in Alix's stomach for long. Thirty minutes after everyone had finished, she left for the bathroom, only to empty it all back out again, including the pain killers she had taken. Movies were watched after that, Alix snuggling up to Kyo, and only half watching, while Suki and Hatori talked about the mishap at the party, and what they were going to do about it.

 

At noon a police car drove up the drive way, and two police officers stepped out of the car, grim looks on their faces, as they came in and greeted Hatori. Something told Kyo, that it had been worse that he had thought.
