[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

Mil walks down the street grumbling to himself before stopping at the restaurant and leaning against. He wipes his forehead while looking around but there is no sign of Jordan.

“God where is he? If Jordan tells me he gave me the wrong pills I’m so gonna kick his ass.” He says and hears someone walk up to him. Mil turns his head and looks at the figure. “Jordan?” Mil asks questioningly, but what he sees is a blurred figure of what looks like a teenage girl in a metal suit from head to toe. “What the hell are you supposed to be?” Mil says giving the creature a weird look as she peers down at him. She lunges forward and grabs his head dragging it up the wall. Mil struggles to break free while clawing at the hand around his neck. “What the hell!? Get off me!”

“This is way easier then I thought it would be.” The creature says in a childlike voice.

“Yeah well, we’ll see about that.” Mil says with a grin.

He kicks her in the head and shatters one of the lenses on her face. She drops Mil and he runs off, but the creature regains her composure and quickly grabs him by the leg causing him to fall. The creature takes out a blade and points it at Mil’s throat. The teen looks at the broken lens and sees an eye. He feels around on the ground and picks up a shard of glass while quivering from terror. The creature raises her blade to strike but Mil stabs her in the exposed eye. She retorts back and screams trying to rip the glass out of her eye in which time Mil runs again. He turns a couple corner and eventually sees an open door. He runs in side and realizes, he’s in a closed mall. Mil hears someone shut a door and runs behind a pillar. He looks back and sees the creature scanning the area. Mil swallows hard and turns around as the creature creeps up to the pillar.

“It seems you’ve been lucky for know but it won’t last.” She slices through the pillar with ease and walks around finding nothing on the other side. The creature then spots Mil running away and chases after him. She appears in front of him suddenly and punches him in the face. Mil falls back but the creature grabs his ankle and swings him around hitting his head off a stand and then throws him through a glass window. She walks up to the twitching boy and laughs. “Got you brat.”

Mil looks up at her hazily and then passes out. When he finally awakens again he finds himself strapped to a chair inside a salon. He spots the creature going through cabinets and throwing things on the floor.

“Who the hell are you and what do you want with me?”

“My name is SERAPH 4. And what I want from you is to cooperate with me and let me kill you without a struggle.” She says and pulls out a pair of pointed scissors.

“What? Why?” Mil asks groggily.

“Because of a man named Gideon.” SERAPH 4 tells him. Mil looks to her waiting for her answer as the SERAPH grins. “Your father.”

Mil gasps. “My....father?”

“Mmm hmm. He was working on this project to recreate a demon that was born long ago. But he kept failing. And then he found a way to successfully bring it back. And you want to know how?” She asks with a sly grin. Mil swallows hard and then slightly nods. “You.”

Mil gasps and SERAPH 4 laughs while opening and closing the scissors.

“You know. You shouldn’t talk so much when you’re supposed to kill someone.” A male voice says.

SERAPH 4 goes to turn but gets a pole through her forehead. She shakes violently and drops to the ground as blood shoots up from her head like a fountain. Mil looks up to see Hyde standing there with his hands on his hips scowling at the twitching android.

“You....” Mil says eyeing the man in the jester costume confusedly.

Hyde grabs SERAPH 4’s hair and presses down on her chest with his foot. He begins to twist and pull on her head making a ripping noise as SERAPH 4 screams in pain. Mil begins to black out but before he does he hears SERAPH 4 let out a blood retching scream, then a ripping noise with electrical buzzing, and feels a warm liquid hit his face. Everything goes silent until Hyde drops SERAPH 4’s head and crushes it with his foot.

“That was to easy.” He says and folds his arms. Mil squeaks making the man look up at the passed out boy. He walks over to the teen and checks his vitals. He is alive, just unconscious. Hyde gives a sigh of relief and stands up straight. “Made it just in time.” He says and pulls down the head gear completely, revealing his face. He has soft ivory skin, white hair that drapes around his face, a goatee, and dark pink eyes. Hyde wipes sweat from his forehead and proceeds to untie Mil. Once he’s done he takes a cord out of a pouch on his hip and sticks one end into a hidden hole on the back of Mil’s neck. Mil’s eyes fling open and turn a shade darker. “I’m sorry but I have to do this. Can’t have you knowing the truth.” He says and inserts the other end into the same style hole on his neck making his eyes turn a shade darker.

At the hospital, Julius walks by the doors and spots Hyde laying Mil down on a bench outside. Julius gets a confused look on his face and runs out. “HEY!” He screams. Hyde spots the teen and disappears. Julius stops and looks around when then spots Mil. “What a minute. I know this kid.” He says and takes a closer look. “HOLY SHIT! MIL!” Julius says and hits a red switch next to the door.

“What’s going on?” A nurse asks running out with some others.

“Someone left him here. He’s all bloody and has a few gashes.” Julius says panicky.

“Go get a stretcher and contact Dr. Reed.” The first nurse says to one of her colleagues.

The nurse nods his head and runs in as Julius looks at Mil concernedly. D sits holding one of her dolls looking up at the sky, still sitting on top of the hotel. She sighs and looks down at the roads below as ambulances and police cars fly by other traffic. Someone walks up to her from the back making her fidget.

"Was everything all right?" D asks and looks back at Hyde.

"Yes.” He says and sits next to her.

"That’s good…So what happened?"

“That’s none of your business.”

“Oh come on. I wanna know.” D whines.

Hyde groans and rubs his head. “I was assigned to protect this kid and someone tried to kill him.”

“What!? Shit that sucks. I wonder why someone would try a kill a kid? Did he do something bad or are his parents in the mafia?”

“I said too much already.”

“Don’t stop know. I’m interested.”

Hyde’s eye twitches. “No! So shut up!”

“Ass.” D grumbles under her breath and looks at the city below. D then looks over at the doll brushing her hair, who is sitting next to Hyde, and smiles.

Hyde finally notices the doll and quickly jumps against D, sitting on her hand. "What the hell!?”

“Oh don’t worry, that one won't hurt you. She’s nice." D says and gets a devilish look on her face while cupping Hyde’s rear. “Are you going commando under this thing?”

Hyde removes her hand and glares. “No I’m not you perverted bitch!" He snaps feels something push on his side. He looks down to see the doll looking angrily at him. Hyde scoots towards the door slowly and laughs a little. Then the doll with the slit throat giggles and plops down on his head. He looks up at her and she looks down giving him a smile. “Oh for the love of...” Hyde thinks to himself.

"Get down now Alyssa!" D demands.

The doll gives her a sad puppy dog face and jumps down but smacks Hyde on the thigh before scurrying off.

"Alyssa?" Hyde says trying to fight his anger.

"Yeah that’s her name."

"You...named them?" Hyde says raising an eyebrow.

"No. That was her name before she died. Let me introduce you to the rest." She says and looks down at the doll in the ballerina dress. "This is Rita." She tells him as some other dolls start coming out from hiding. A doll with bullet wholes all over it's body stands flexing his muscles for a female doll in a trampy Victorian style dress with bruises all over her bare skin and another doll, with a dislocated left arm and cuts all over, taps a crow bar against his good shoulder. "They're Nik and Anya and the other one is Axel." D tells him. A diseased looking doll dressed in royal garments walks up to Hyde and bows. "That's Liam."

Hyde looks confusedly at him until a small object hits his hand. He picks it up and looks at for a bit but then realizes what it is. "Oh fuckin hell!" Hyde yells and tosses it forward.

A headless female doll scurries up to the object and picks it up. She places it back on her neck but it just falls back off. D snickers and motions for the doll to come over.

“Come on I’ll fix it for you.” D says. The doll picks up her head and runs over to the teen. She places the head back on the dolls body and ties a ribbon around the cut. The doll skips away but again the head falls off. "That’s Kristen." She says with a giggle.

Hyde just stares at the doll chasing after her rolling head, when he spots a doll wearing a dingy stray jacket standing on the edge of the roof looking at the sky.

"Who's he?" Hyde says motioning towards the lone doll.

The doll slowly peers over his shoulder at the uneasy man and blinks. The right side of his face is normal but when he looks over his shoulder more, you see the whole left side of his face and chest is burned off. He grins making a growling noise baring crusty charred teeth. He walks up to Hyde slowly still grinning making him fidget slightly. He stops and looks down at the ground as Hyde looks at him closely. The doll looks up and bursts into flames, which send Hyde five feet into the air. The flaming doll laughs at the man and dashes off.

"Oh yeah. Beware of Nigel. He likes setting things on fire." D giggles.

Hyde’s eye twitches, and then he finally snaps. "Well ain't this fucking great! First I get stuck with your annoying ass and now these little…" He stops and looks at the dolls bouncing around and laughing. "BASTARDS!"

They all stop and stare angrily at him. Hyde retracts back in horror, but what happens next shocks him for Alyssa begins to whimper. The doll drops to her knees and begins to cry loudly as D places her head in her hand and groans. A body quivers slightly and groans while surrounded by an eerie darkness. Mil is lying on his stomach and slowly begins to open his eyes. A blurry figure stands there as Mil sits up and rubs his head. He looks at the figure and is greeted with the smiling face of a young girl with glowing red eyes.

"You’re awake. I thought you might have died." The girl says.

"Who are you and where am I?” Mil asks.

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that."

Mil slowly gets up slowly and looks at the girl annoyedly. "Why not?" The girl looks at him with her head slouched and then turns away. "Hey! Answer me!"

"Maybe you should go now. He's waiting for you to awake." The girl tells him.

"What?" Mil says as a white light begins to engulf him and the little girl. Mil wakes up and gasps. He breathes heavily as he examines the room he's in. "What? A hospital room? Why am I....."

"Hey sunshine." A grinning familiar face says looks sideways at him.

Mil goes wide eyed and flinches away. "Ahhh!" He screams and falls onto the floor.

"Well good to see you too.” Julius says sarcastically.

Mil jumps up hastily and points a finger at him angrily. "YOU! You stay away from me!"

"Why you ungrateful little bastard.” Julius snarls. “I took time out of my schedule to watch over your unconscious ass for the past three days and this is how I'm treated!?"

Mil looks at him shockedly. "Three days?"

"Yeah. Some weirdo brought you in. You were all bruised up and bloody. Had to cut your cloths off of you to clean and bandage your wounds." Julius says and grins dirtily. "And I have to say you looked quite nice. Hee hee."

"You pervert!" Mil screams while blushing.

"I'm joking okay?"

"Yeah right." Mil says and folds his arms.

"I'm serious. I have more morals then to molest an unconscious person."

"Sure. And another thing, why did you kiss me that night?"

"It's an Elvin tradition."

"It is?" Mil says raising an eyebrow.

"You’re part elf and you didn’t know that?" Julius laughs.

"No, and stop laughing at me.” Mil grumbles.

"Look. Normally when you say goodbye to someone who was really friendly to you, you would say thank you, give them a hug or shake their hand, but elves kiss. Understand?"

“Tristen never told me that.” Mil thinks to himself. “But still, you had no right to kiss me when you didn't even ask my permission."

"Oh? So if I ask then I can?" Julius says gleefully while cuddling the smaller teen.

"NO!" Mil yells and gets a laugh from the red head.

"That's enough Julius."

The red headed fox teen looks back to see Cindy staring at him annoyedly. Julius just scoffs and shakes his head as Mil struggles to push him off.

"I'm just playing.” He says and lets go.

"Well just stop.” She says and Julius pouts. Cindy then turns to Mil and smiles. "You can’t go a week without getting injured can you?”

“I guess I’m just an abuse magnet.” Mil says with a shrug.

“By the way Mil, do you remember anything from that night?” Cindy asks concerned. “Like who attacked you or brought you here?”

“No. I just remember walking down a street before everything went blank.”

“I see.” Cindy sighs and shakes her head.

"Doctor you have a patient." A male nurse says leaning his head in the doorway.

"Just a minute." Cindy says and looks at Mil. "I wish we could chat more but you should be resting and I need to check on this person or they’ll get pissy.” She says and then turns to Julius. “Behave and take good care of Mil for mama."

Mil looks shocked by this as Julius nods and gives his mother an innocent grin. Cindy smiles and walks out closing the door behind her.

"Mama?"

"I told you I was looking for my mother."

"Aunt Cindy is your mother!?" Mil asks shocked.

"Yup. And by the way, how do you know her?"

Mil gets over his shock and crawls back into bed. "My adoptive parents Randy and Shellie were old acquaintances of hers when they were in training. She would come and visit him every summer and would bring me candy from Germany." Mil says and smiles.

"Hey, were their names Randy Faust and Shellie Ryans?"

Mil gives him an odd look. "How do you know that?"

"My sperm donor told me about some of his old buddies. There were 12 but I remember there were one’s named Randy and Shellie.”

"How strange. Our parents knew each other but we never met until that night."

Julius sits on the bed making Mil moves away from him a bit. " I won't bite you. Anyway it's because most of them weren’t the same race and lived on different worlds. And they just never had time to see each other."

"You seem to know a lot about this."

"Yeah, well Wolfe tells me everything when he’s drunk either that or he beats me.” Julius says and frowns.

“I....” Mil stops and begins to cough fiercely.

Julius puts his hands on the younger boy’s shoulders concernedly and gives him a look over. "Hey are you ok?" He asks as Mil begins to pass out again but his head falls onto Julius’ chest. Julius wraps his arms around him softly and smiles. "Poor thing must've got to worked up." He lays Mil’s head gently on the pillow and touches his cheek. Mil grabs his hand and opens his eyes slightly. "Don't worry your gonna be ok. I'm going to take just as good care of you like you did with me." Julius says and gives him a thumbs up.

"That's what I'm afraid of." Mil says and gives a weak smile.

"Oh shut up and go to sleep.” Julius grumbles.

Mil smiles and then closes his eyes. Julius watches the smaller boy sleep and gets a bored look on his face. He begins to fiddle with Mil’s hair making him fidget and smack his hand away.

“If you’re gonna be a nuisance, leave.” Mil says crossly.

“All right. I’ll be back in a couple hours with your lunch.” Julius says and gets up heading towards the door. He gives Mil a quick glance before shutting the door behind him.

Mil sighs and rolls onto his side finally falling asleep. The next day at LAZULI, Randy is yelling at Kira, who just got back from a mini trip with her gang. Ron and the others are sitting at a table in the back watching quietly not wanting to get yelled at by the irrate man.

"How the hell could you have let that happen? Weren't you watching him!?" Randy barks as Kira looks at the ground silently "Well!?"

“You never told me to watch him! You just said to make sure he was ok! And he was when I seen him!” Kira retorts.

Randy slams his fist against a table. "You know he’s your responsibility when I’m at work. That’s why I sent you home early. You know what kind of people are out at that time of night. But you just don’t seem to care do you!? He always gets hurt with you!”

"Well if that's the case then why don't you fucking take more responsibility for him. You’re the one who adopted him after all, not me! You know I never asked to do this. I was forced to work for you as an officer of the law. Not a god damn baby-sitter!”

“Well it won’t matter anymore cause I found someone new to watch him.”

“Well that’s great because I wasn’t going to do it anymore.” Kira yells and storms out with Ron and the others in toe.

They continue to walk in silence until one of them finally gets up the courage to say something.

“Damn, you should have kicked that guys ass.” Ron says. “I know you could have,”

"It would have caused more trouble.” She says and puts her hands in her jacket pockets.

"Where are you going anyway?" Shylah asks.

"Where else, to go see the brat."

"Why are you going to see him if you just said you didn't care about him?" Sophia asks.

"Because I'm gonna go make fun of him to put me in a good mood again."

"Are you only happy when you’re making others miserable?" Elijah asks with a dumb look on his face.

Kira chuckles and grins. "Of course."

Four of the five look oddly at her and groan. Back at LAZULI, D sits on a chair rocking back and forth while Hyde talks on his phone in the other room. He shuts it off and walks to her getting a questioning look from the teen.

"Well?" D asks.

"The doctor said he’s doing better today so you can go visit him." Hyde tells her.

"Alrighty.” She says, gets up, and begins to walk towards the door. D stops and turns to Hyde, giving him a cutesy smile. "Well then Hyde, take care of my dollies for me."

Hyde looks back at the waiving dolls and shudders. “Oh dear god.”

D walks out and down the hallway to the elevator while a loud scream echoes from the room she just came out of. A little later, she steps outside the hotel and looks around. "Aw hell. He never told me how to get there." She grumbles and sees Kira and the gang walk past her. "Hey wait." She calls to them and they turn to her. "Can you tell me how to get to the hospital?"

"Oh what a coincidence that’s where were headed too. You can follow us there." Kira tells her.

"Thanks.” D says jovially and follows them.

Elijah looks out the corner of his eye at her and gives the platinum haired teen a look over. "Hey what's your name?" He asks cheerfully.

"It's D."

"Well then D, it's nice to meet you, I'm Elijah." Elijah says with his chest puffed out trying to seem manly.

"So D is it? What business do you have at the hospital?" Kira asks.

"I'm supposed to meet this kid there I'm gonna start babysitting." D says and pulls out the picture Hyde gave her. "Have you ever seen this kid?"

Kira takes the picture, looks at it, and stops dead in her tracks.

"What's wrong?" Sophia asks her leader.

"HAHAHA! So you're the unlucky bastard they got to watch Princess!" Kira chuckles and hands her the picture back. "Have fun kid."

"What do you mean?" D asks confusedly.

"That kid’s an obnoxious brat who he gets into all sorts of trouble." Kira tells her.

"You only think that because he doesn’t like you." Ron snorts.

Kira groans as D looks at them confusedly. At the hospital, Tannya walks down a hallway and into Mil’s room where Julius is sitting in a chair, against the wall, playing cat's cradle while Mil finishes his lunch.

She puts her hands on her hips and glares at her cousin. "Put that away and take care of your patient!"

"Can't stop...playing.... with the yarn." Julius says enthralled but she takes it from him. "Hey! Give that back!"

"No! Go take care of your patient!" Tannya demands.

"I gave him that so he would leave me alone." Mil tells her.

"Fine.” She grumbles. Tannya tosses the yarn at Julius and walks over to Mil’s bed side. She takes out a thermometer and places it in his mouth. It beeps to let her know it's done and she looks at it. "Well you don't have a fever anymore. Can you stand up?" Tannya asks. Mil shifts his body to the edge of the bed and steps off one foot at the time. He puts his arm around Tannya for support making Julius grumble. Tannya looks back at him and sticks out her tongue. She then looks back at Mil. "Good.” Tannya says and looks back at Julius giving him a taunting grin. "You shouldn't make that face Julius. It might stick that way." She says as he sticks his middle finger up at her. Tannya giggles and then turns to Mil. "Well Mil, there are some clean cloths on the table. Go get changed and come to the front lobby when you’re done. Someone will be here to take you home."

"What!? You’re sending him off all ready?” Julius says shocked. “ He just woke up yesterday. He can't even stand up on his own very well! What the hell kind of hospital is this!?"

"He's fine Julius. We're giving him medicine to take incase he feels woozy. Okay?” She says. “Besides mom and Mil’s dad want him to go home. So lets go and let him get dressed."

Julius groans and gets up as Tannya walks out. He staggers behind slowly until Mil grabs his sleeve.

"Umm....Julius?"

Julius looks back and gives Mil a playful smile. "What? Do you want me to stay while you get changed?"

"Mmm hmm. But not for the reason you’re thinking of, you perv. I just want someone here in case I pass out."

"All right." Julius says and bows. "I am at your service."

Mil smiles and walks over to a table where his cloths have been set. He looks to Julius who shuts the door and faces the wall. Mil proceeds to get undressed. "Is Tannya your real sister?"

"She’s actually my cousin. One of my uncles deserted her so my mom took her in. So she’s been acting like my big sister since I met her." Julius tells him.

Mil pulls his pants and zips them. "Sucks being the youngest huh?"

"Well actually I would be the middle child.”

"You have a younger sibling?"

"I have a younger twin brother. His name’s Janice."

Mil pulls his shirt down and looks at Julius questioningly. "Twin? Is he a pervert like you?"

"Sort of, but he’s also a real big asshole. Everyone treats him like he’s a god.“ Julius says and then falls silent. Two arms extend around his waist making the teen turn a bright shade of red. "Huh? What are you doing Mil?"

"I’m sorry I made you talk about that. But I know how being neglected feels."

"Ya know I think you have split personalities. First you were being all nice to me, then you were whining about me kissing you and know you go and be all nice to me again." He says spinning around and latching onto Mil’s shoulders. "Thank you Mil."

Mil turns red as Julius smiles and pulls him close. Mil tries to pull back but Julius pushes him against the wall. Their lips touch but before it progresses any furhter someone burst through the door.

"PRINCESS!" Kira yells obnoxiously. Mil pushes Julius away as Kira stands in the doorway smiling sheepishly. "My poor Princess. Did your boyfriend do your virgin ass to hard and put ya in the hospital?"

"No some weirdo attacked me! And I'm not some stupid nasty queer like you!" Mil yells as Julius looks at him hurtfully and lowers his head.

Kira looks to Julius cheekily and points to him. "Then what’s up with him?"

"I just work here." Julius says lowly and runs out with his head down.

He runs past D who turns around to watch him run. The teen raises an eyebrow curiously and makes a questioning face.

"Was that boy crying?" She thinks to herself.

"Would you knock that off?! I just got out of a coma you sadistic bitch!”

D walks to the doorway Julius just came from and looks in. Kira has Mil, who is trying desperately to brake free, in a headlock. D groans annoyedly and puts her hand on her hips.

"Hey! I would like the baby to be alive when I sit him." She yells getting both of their attentions.

"Who are you?" Mil asks.

"She's your new babysitter Princess." Kira says and pinches his cheek. "That means I won't watch you anymore."

Mil smacks her hand away and grumbles. "Well hallelujah for that. Maybe now I'll make it to the age of 15."

Kira flicks him on the head and starts to walk out. "Well my deed is done. By Ms. Babysitter, take good care of Princess."

Kira walks out getting glares from both of the teens. D puts her hands on her hips and huffs.

"Well someone must have forgotten to change her tampon.” D says under her breath making Mil giggle. D looks down at him and half smiles. "What's your name kid? I'm sure it ain't Princess."

"No. It's Mil."

"Mil?" D says stunned.

"Yup.” Mil says.

D remembers the girl from her dream and gets a puzzled look on her face. “She....”

"So what's yours?"

" …Sanja.” D says in a soft voice. Mil looks at her oddly and then she snaps out of it. "No wait its D. Sorry dazed off there for a second."

"It's okay. I day dream a lot myself."

"Oh.” D says and then thinks of something else. "Hey? What was the matter with that kid with the tail? He looked like he was upset."

"You mean Julius? He was acting kind of strange when Kira came in.” Mil says and then goes wide eyed. “Oh no!”

“What?” D asks.

“Sorry but I need to go.” Mil says and begins running out. “Meet me at a club called ZEPHYR tonight. Ask for Fayette.”

“Hey wait I don’t understand.” D yells but Mil is long gone. “Shit what the hell am I supposed to do know?” She says and sighs. “I wonder how Hyde and the dolls are doing?”

Hyde, is in fact not doing very well. For he is stripped of his cloths and duct taped to a chair with a pair of rolled up socks jammed in his mouth. Also words like dork, suck my burned balls, dumbass, and some other expletives are written on his naked body in marker. If you listen closely you can here his nerves dying. Back at the hospital, Mil continues running down the hallways looking for Julius. He stops to catch his breath and hears someone yelling.

"What do you mean Wolfe’s here!? Who the fuck called him!?" Julius snarls.

“Julius calm down. I asked him to come.” Cindy says softly.

"Are you fucking insane!? Do you have any idea what type of person he turned into!?“ Julius retorts.

Heavy footsteps draw closer and then the sound of skin meeting skin echoes through the air along with that of a body hitting the floor. Mil gasps and goes to run towards the people but stops deciding not to interfere.

"WOLFE!" Cindy yells.

"What the hell were you thinking taking off like that!?" A deep angry male voice shouts.

"I don't like living there with you! You treat me like shit! All you care about is Janice and those bitches you bring home to fuck every night!" Julius bawls.

"THAT’S ENOUGH! Huh? What the hell do you think your doing!?"

"Lay another hand on that boy Wolfe and I'll break damn your arm!" A familiar male voice demands.

"Don't tell me how to raise my son!" The other retorts.

Mil recognizes the voice and runs around the corner happily. "Dad!" He shouts and runs up to Randy.

Julius gets up and flees while everyone turns their attention to the younger teen. Randy forces a smile and nods to his son.

“You feeling better? Sorry I wasn’t able to help you.” Randy says consolingly to the teen.

Mil frowns and puts his hands on his hips. “I forgive you.”

The sliver haired man, Wolfe, scoffs and begins to walk after Julius but Randy grabs the back of his shirt and pulls him back. "Will you let go of me!?”

"Nope. Not until you and I have a talk." Randy says and pushes Mil in the direction Julius ran. “Why don’t you go look for him?”

“Ok.” Mil says and runs outside while looking around.

He spots Julius sitting on a bench watching a couple of pigeons cooing and scrounging around the ground for food. Julius throws a rock at them and hits one in the head causing it to fall over and twitch as the other pecks at it.

“Stupid diseased birds.” Julius snaps.

Mil frowns slightly and sits down next to the other boy. The two of them don't speak to each other for a while until Mil sighs and looks over at Julius.

"Hey, I'm really sorry I said that in front of you. I was just getting pissed and it came out."

“Hn.” Julius grumbles at the purple haired teen who sighs and looks at the ground. Just then, Julius grabs Mil and pulls him close.

Mil tries to struggle free but Julius holds him tighter. "Let go of me."

"No. You hurt my feelings and know you’re gonna have to make it up to me." He says and before Mil can retort back Julius tries kissing him again.

Mil struggles with the older teen and doesn’t realize they have spectators.

"Aww. Princess has a boyfriend. How cute."

Mil smacks Julius across the head and scoots away as Kira begins to laugh. "Damn it Kira! Don't sneak up on me like that."

"Well I was just sparing the pedestrians from your little show.”

Julius turns red, gets up, and tips toes away. "Maybe I should go." He thinks to himself.

Kira shoots a look at Julius and grabs his shirt collar. She hugs him tightly and giggles getting a low growl. "Well aren't you just the cutest thing." She says and pinches his cheek.

Julius struggles in her arms trying to break free. "Let go of me you wench!"

"Kira, stop harassing the kids."

Kira lets go and then turns to Randy while grinning. "So father, did ya know your child was into guys?"

"Gee, what gave you that idea?” Randy says sarcastically.

"Him and this kid here were getting kinky with each other on the bench.” Kira chortles.

"Liar! It wasn't that bad." Julius snaps.

"Oh so it is true then Julius?" Randy laughs making Julius retract back.

"So this is where you went to. What's going on?"

Kira looks back to see her gang walking over. They give her a curious look as she just grins at them.

"Nothing much except for the show theses two were giving." She says gesturing to the teens.

"What do you mean?" Cindy asks walking over.

"She's saying she caught them getting close to each other.” Randy tells her.

"Oh is that it?" Cindy giggles.

“Yeah they were making out on the bench.” Kira says making Mil growl.

"Hey what's wrong?" Julius asks him.

"He's just pissed that I was right that he's into dudes." Kira says.

“What!? Dude that is so wrong.” Ron bellows.

"So he really is a little princess." Elijah whispers to Shylah.

"No actually they’re called queens."

"Knock it off. So what if they're in love, there's nothing wrong with it." Sophia chides them.

Everyone begins to talk at once voicing their opinion of the “couple”. Mil trembles in anger and grits his teeth as Julius looks to him with concern.

“Mil?"

"I’M NOT GAY DAMN IT!" Mil screams making everyone stop and look to him. “I’M BI!!” He says grabbing Julius’ wrist and storming off.

“Mil get back here you’re not wandering off by yourself!” Randy tells him.

“I’m going to see mom!” Mil yells and drags a baffled Julius along.

Everyone watches the two teens leave in confusion. Sophia turns to Randy and gives him a concerned look.

“Is it ok to let him go like that, sir?”

“I’d rather him not but Zephyr isn’t far from here. And besides Shellie will keep an eye on him.” Randy says and smiles. “That and he has Julius with him.”

Cindy giggles. “I think that is actually a bad thing.”

Mil and Julius continue walking down the street towards Zephyr. Mil hasn’t said a word and Julius’ too embarrassed to say anything. The red headed teen begins to fidget and bite his lip, finally getting the courage to speak.

"Umm....Mil?"

"Don't say a damn word." Mil snaps.

“Don't get pissy with me. It's not my fault that woman’s a cunt." Julius grumbles.

"I know, I'm sorry I yelled at you. I'm just pissed off."

"No it’s ok, but…why did you grab my hand?" Julius asks.

"Because if I left you there they would have been on your ass and you didn't look like you wanted to be there anyway."

"It's mainly because my so called mother called that bastard here."

"So that was your father?" Mil asks.

"Yeah, Wolfe Valentine. Mr. Father of the Fucking Year." Julius says and rolls his eyes.

"How’s your jaw?"

"It's all right, I'm used to the pain." He says rubbing it.

"Does he hit you often?"

Julius nods. "Mostly when he’s drunk or I piss him off. Which is every day."

"You poor thing.” Mil giggles and then thinks for a second. “Hey Julius, how about we go out for lunch? My treat."

"What like a date?" Julius asks grinning.

"No, it's just that hospital stuff sucked and where we are going serves really good food."

"All right."

"Good lets go." Mil says and they continue towards Zephyr.

They finally make it to Zephyr and walk inside where a black woman stands behind the counter looking bored to death. She notices the teens walking in and smiles at them.

"Millie baby. How ya been?" The woman asks.

"Okay.”

"Heard you were in the hospital. What happened?"

"Don’t really know. But from what I heard someone attacked me." Mil tells her.

"Doesn’t anyone watch you?"

"Not really.” Mil snorts and then looks around. “Where's my mom, Aisha?"

"In the back." She says and then notices Julius. "Millie baby, did you finally find yourself a man? He’s a real cutie. "

"No. He's a friend and we came here for lunch."

"Right.” Aisha says sarcastically and looks at Julius. "My names Aisha. What’s your name."

" Julius.”

"Well Julius, it's nice to meet you. I'll get you two a nice little booth." She says and walks out from behind the counter towards a booth. She opens the curtain and gets a disgusted look on her face. A half naked woman sits on someone’s lap making out with them vigorously. "Damn it Trish, can't you do that in your apartment?"

The half naked woman shifts to the side revealing a dark haired woman underneath. "I have every right to be here."

"Well we got a customer. So get your ass out of there!" Aisha yells.

The dark haired woman pushes the half naked woman aside and jumps up. "Mil! I missed you!" She says and runs over to the teen trying to give him a hug, but he doesn’t except it.

"Missed you too Trish."

The half naked woman gets up and pulls down her dress before walking off in a huff. Trish looks to the woman slyly and grins.

"Bye Kayla!"

"New girlfriend?" Mil asks.

"No. Just someone I picked up this morning."

"You slut." Mil scoffs

"I know." Trish giggles and then looks at Julius. "Who's this?"

"Mil’s boyfriend." Aisha tells her.

"Boyfriend? I thought you were gonna go out with Jessica?"

"He's not my boyfriend. And yes.” Mil growls.

"I see. Well then the booth is all yours."

"Disinfect the damn seat first.” Mil says pointing disgustedly at it.

"Oh shut up." Trish says brushing him off and the three laugh.

Julius stands there with a confused look on his face."These are his friends?" He thinks to himself.

D, who finally managed to find her way back, walks into the hotel room finding Hyde still tied to the chair and begins to laugh. The white haired man attempts to scowl at her but almost falls backwards as D continues to laugh.

She walks over and removes the socks from his mouth while continuing to giggle. "You pissed them off didn't you?"

"Shut up and un-tape me!"

"Nah. I think you look cute like this."

"UN-TAPE ME!" Hyde snaps.

"Oh all right." She says and goes and carefully removes the tape.

Once D is finished she gives the irrate man a cutesy look as he stands up and gives her a dirty look.

"Why don't you stick those little bastards in cages or something." Hyde snaps.

"I can't. They’re just to cute."

"Cute!? Those things are not cute!" Hyde grumbles.

"Uhh…” D begins and looks down. “Don't you think you should put some pants on? I can see your wang."

Hyde looks down and covers his man hood up with his hands while walking into the bathroom. "So how did it go?"

"Okay. I met some people on the way. That boy Mil seems pleasant, but this chick that knows him is a real bitch."

"Well ain't that nice. Did you talk to his father?"

"Never got a chance to meet him."

"That's okay. You can meet him tonight at ZEPHYR."

"Hey that's where Mil told me to meet him tonight. He also said to ask for Fayette."

Hyde slightly gasps. "Fayette?"

"Yeah. I have no clue who Fayette is or where ZEPHYR is."

"That’s interesting."

D sighs and looks at the lone doll in the black hood. "Oh by the way do you know where the rest of my dolls went?"

"No. All they said was they have someone else to take care of now."

"Oh so they added someone new to their hit list."

"Hit list?" Hyde asks questioningly.

"Yeah they have a certain person they want to kill. But they can't kill anyone without my permission or they'll freeze up."

"And you think that makes me feel any better?"

"No.” She says and looks over when the bathroom door opens. Hyde comes out wearing a pair of jeans, a white tee-shirt with a blue button down shirt over it, and black framed glasses. D blushes and begins to giggle. "Wow, you look cuter without the clown costume."

Hyde’s eye begins to twitch. "Clown costume? It's a jester damn it."

"Who cares?"

"I care!"

"Just drop it. So when are we leaving?"

"At eight." Hyde says looking at his watch.

Mil and Julius are still at Zephyr and have already finished eating but are now just sitting there drinking tea.

"Thank you.” Julius says taking a sip of tea.

"You’re welcome. It's nice to go out to eat with someone once in an awhile.” Mil says and smiles. “So Julius, what’s it like on Alpha?"

"Cold. Its always nighttime. But the moons look awesome."

"I seen pictures of the moons in school."

"Yeah but seeing them in person is the best." Julius says and thinks of something. "Hey, someday would you like to come back home with me and check out my house?"

"Maybe someday.” Mil says and notices Julius is starring at him. "What?"

"Can I ask you some questions?"

"Okay.”

"First question. What were you like as a child?"

Mil thinks for a bit and then answers. "Well I was quiet and well behaved. Done what I was told and never talked back."

"What happened?" Julius chortles.

Mil smiles. "I turned two."

“So when did you find out you were bi?

Mil looks down and fidgets. “I’d rather not talk about it.”

“ Oh. Well…ok. So, next question. What do you look for in a person?"

"Hmm. I guess someone who has the same interests I have and will love me for who I am.”

"I see. So you’re thinking about having a girlfriend instead of dating men?"

"Yeah. There is this girl from school who likes me and I kind of like her." Mil says. “And there hasn’t been to many guys I’ve found attractive lately.”

Julius grins. "You gonna sleep with her?"

"No you pervert! I can’t do that!” Mil yells turning red.

Julius raises an eyebrow and looks at him curiously. “What do you mean you can’t?”

“Because I can’t.”

“Why?”

“Just because.”

“Well then tell me.”

“Would you knock it off!? God what happened to the nice kid I met that night!?” Mil snaps as Julius inches in close to him. “What are you doing?”

"You’re cute when you yell."

"What are you getting at?" Mil asks while glaring at him. Julius giggles and pounces on him pinning his arms above his head on the seat. "What the hell are you doing!? We're in a public place for god sakes! Don't you have any decency!?"

"Just be quiet.” Julius purrs.

"No I will not be-" Mil begins but is silenced with a kiss.

Mil struggles a bit as Julius kisses him and moves his hands down closer to the younger teen’s thighs. Mil lets out a muffled growl and then, POW! Julius begins to whimper and slowly rolls onto the floor with his hand on his groin. He begins trembling as Mil sits up with a huff and folds his arms. The fox teen looks up to Mil with tears forming in his eyes and a look of sheer agony.

"You asshole! Do you have any idea how much that hurt?"

"Well you deserved it!" Mil grumbles folding his arms. “Teach you to maul me.”

Julius sniffles and runs out without saying anything else. Mil looks down at the floor and sighs while sitting back. A few minutes later he gets up and decides to go find and apologize to the other boy..

"What the hell happened?" A woman with blonde hair asks while leaning over the counter.

"Nothing important."

"Something must have happened for that boy to run out like he did." A thin man with shoulder length lime hair says.

"Nothing happened Tristen!" Mil snaps. “God just let it go.”

"Very well.” Tristen giggles and walks towards the exit.

" Wolfe and Cindy’s kid? See he got his father’s looks. You be nice to him now. Even if he tries to come onto you like that, ok sweetie?" She says as Mil looks at her wide-eyed and blushing. She winks at him and snickers. "You should go relax a bit, since you asked to work tonight and all."

"Okay Mom.” Mil says and heads towards the back.

"They act just like Gideon and Wolfe did.” She says to herself with a smile.

Tristen walks halfway down the street until he sees Julius sitting on a bench fidgeting every couple of seconds. He walks over to him and sits down getting a scowl from the teen.

"What's wrong cutie?" Tristen asks the red head.

"Who the hell are you?"

"A friend of Mil’s. My name's Tristen." He says and puts out his hand.

Julius looks questioningly at the hand and then takes it. "Julius”.

"Ooh, Julius, I like that name.” Tristen says flirtatiously making Julius turn red and look away. "Just between you and me. Mil likes romantic things. So don't try to act all frisky with him right off the bat."

"I don't care about him. What makes you think I like guys?" Julius grumbles folding his arms.

"Don't lie. You’re queer. I can sense it."

"How do you know that?"

"I'm gay too." He says and feels up Julius’ leg. Julius jumps back and looks at him in shock making Tristen giggle. "You act just like Mil."

"What do you mean?" Julius asks.

"I've tried to come onto him the first day we met and he done the same thing."

"This guy's just as bad as I am." Julius thinks to himself.

"Well it was nice meeting you Julius. Bye." Tristen says and heads back to Zephyr.

"What is up with these people?" Julius thinks to himself but just shrugs. “I guess I should go see how mom is doing, I was kind of an ass to her today.” He says to himself and gets up.

"Rei.” A childlike voice calls out.

Julius stops dead in his tracks and slowly turns around to see a hooded figure. The figure wiggles a little and giggles childishly at the confused teen.

“Hey?” Julius says but no reply. He hears a strange noise and looks around but no one else is there. He looks to where the figure once stood and sees a pool of blood in it’s place. He walks over to it and drops down to his knees, looking into it, and sees his reflection. The blood ripples and a hand shoots out grabbing his hair and pulls his head under. He struggles to free himself but the hand has too tight of a grip. He opens his eyes and sees dismembered limbs floating around with dead bodies. Julius attempts to scream but blood just fills his lungs.

"JULIUS!" A voice yells.

Julius flinches again and begins to huff frantically. He looks around and finds that he is sitting on the bench but it's now nighttime. "Was that a dream? But when did I go to sleep and why am I still here?" He thinks to himself.

"JULIUS!" The voice yells again. Julius looks over to see Tannya standing there. "What do you think your doing?"

Julius blinks and looks at her stupidly. "Sleeping.”

"Mom wants to see you." She says with a sigh.

"Mom?"

"Yeah. She's at that club." Tannya grumbles and points to ZEPHYR. "She's in there with your dad and some of her friends."

"Oh.”

"So come on.” She and walks back into the club.

Julius gets up but stops, putting his hand on his throat and begins to chock. He leans over and vomits up blood. Inside the club Randy, Wolfe, Cindy, and Shellie sit at a table chatting while Kira and her gang are a few tables away. Hyde and D are on their way and Mil is in his dressing room talking to a blonde haired man.

"So Mil who's this boy you’re seeing?" The man asks with a grin.

"He’s just a kid I met a few days ago, nothing more.”

"I see. So when are Jessica and the other little brats coming?"

"Soon.” Mil says looking at his watch.

"You nervous?"

"A little." Mil says and looks to the blonde man. “How come you and the others don’t like Jess?”

“Well she’s snobby and she treated us like we were dirt when we brought you lunch that day.”

“Oh...” Mil says and looks at his reflection.

A man in drag opens the door and groans. "Mil why aren't you changed yet?"

"Sorry Dustin. I was talking to Brad."

"Well hurry up. Your father's looking for you.” He says and leaves.

Brad stands up and walks to the door. He stops and turns his head. "Mil?"

"Yeah?"

"Don't be to hasty with things."

"Okay.”

Brad walks out and closes the door. Mil walks over to a rack with a bunch of costumes on it and begins to sort through them. He takes one out a female hippy retro cop style outfit and sets it over a chair. He scratches his tummy and yawns before looking at one of his costumes that has a big bushy fox tail.

"I wonder where he is now?" Mil thinks to himself.

Julius walks up to the table where his parents are sitting, looks around, and then turns to his father. He gives the silver haired Canine a nasty look before grinning maliciously.

"You didn’t bring your new bitch with?"

"She left for a meeting."

Julius looks at his wrist pretending a watch is there. "Oh? I didn't know the annual Sluts R' us got together tonight?" He says sarcastically.

Wolfe gives him a glare but is met with a grin.

"Julius it's not nice to say things like that about people. Even if they are nasty whores." Cindy grumbles making Shellie and Randy snicker.

"Is there something you want to say Cindy?" Wolfe growls.

"That's enough you two." Randy says trying to prevent an argument.

"So what did you want?" Julius asks his mother.

"Me and your father sat down and had a talk-”

"You’re staying here with your mother.” Wolfe says bluntly, interrupting Cindy.

Julius gets sarcastically excited and flails his arms in the air. "Well thank god for that! Now I won't have to see women jump on your dick twenty-four seven!" Julius says and Wolfe swiftly backhands him. The teen holds his bruised cheek and begins to laugh. "You hit like a bitch." He laughs and walks away.

Wolfe growls and looks to his friends. "You see what I have to put up with!? That's why I kick that kids ass constantly! He's always mouthing off to me! My god, Janice is younger then him and he acts ten times more mature."

"So, you were worse then that. When you went on one of your tirades you would beat up half the student body, also the teachers and blow up things. You were always in the Juvenile section. So I don't want to here your shit." Shellie snaps.

"Blow me." Wolfe grumbles and folds his arms.

"No that's your bitch’s job." Cindy says with a huff and takes a shot of liquor.

"What the hell!? We were having a nice chat until that little bastard came here!"

Cindy slams the shot glass down angrily and looks to the silver haired Canine. "That little bastard is our son! Yours and mine! Okay!? Now I can see he's a little mouthy with you. It's because you don’t pay attention to him and when you do you treat him like shit!"

"I don't pay attention to him!? You’re his fucking mother and you only seen him twice after he was born. You were never there!"

"Are you saying I'm a bad mother!?"

"Yes I am!"

"I am NOT the bad parent Wolfe Valentine! You are! You’re the one who told me to get an abortion because you didn’t want the responsibility of being a father. Then once they were born you refused to let me see them because you thought I was too young and naive!"

Randy slams his fist against the table and loses it. "GODDAMN IT! WILL YOU TWO YOU SHUT THE HELL UP!?"

The table gets silent as three people walk over to them and chuckle.

"Well I see you guys are still the same.” A soft female voice giggles.

The four look of them look over and to see a tall muscular man with tan skin and short brown hair, a short, skinny elf woman with green hair and another man, a half breed, much smaller build and with chestnut brown hair.

"Hey Ricky, you made it after all." Shellie says with a smile.

"Of course, the old gang's getting together. Wouldn't miss it for the world."

"Hello Wolfe.” The younger of the men says.

"Hey Aidan.”

"You seem miserable." The girl asks.

"I'm fine. "

“Still grumpy as ever I see.” The man named Ricky chortles.

Wolfe folds his arms and huffs making the newcomers chuckle.

“Oh stop teasing him.” Randy says. “He’s being a bitch as it is.”

The man Aiden looks around curiously and then at Shellie. "So who are we missing?"

"Well let’s see. William won't be able to come for a couple of weeks. Sabina will be here soon. Terry can't get off work. I haven’t been able to reach Nova for awhile." She says and then looks down. "And then there’s Gideon." She says softly.

Everyone becomes silent and lowers their heads as high heels click against the floor, drawing closer to them.

"What's wrong Mom and Dad?"

They all look back and get confused looks on their faces with the exception of Shellie who’s giggling and Randy who’s hiding his face in his hand. There stands Mil, who is wearing a tan colored mini skirt and coat, stilettos, thick blue tinted glasses, big hoop earrings, bright red lipstick and a curly brunette wig.

Randy covers his face with his hands and groans. "Why are you dressed like that?"

Mil blows a bubble with his gum and it pops obnoxiously while rolling his eyes. "I agreed to work tonight because I’m feeling better and I need the money."

“Oh Randy stop. I can recall a certain rescue mission.” The green haired woman giggles.

Randy gives her a glare. “Shut up Yukina.”

"And you call me a bad parent? Mine's gay but he wouldn’t prance around in a woman's clothing like some fairy."

"Yeah but he's a super pervert." Mil grumbles and puts his hands on his hips.

"Father like son, eh?" Ricky chortles.

"Shut up!"

"Huh?" Mil says raising an eyebrow.

"Don't worry 'bout it, you have tables to wait. So get going Miss Fayette." Shellie commands.

"Yes ma'am”. Mil says with an annoying teen girl like voice and walks away.

At the other side of the bar, Kira and her gang are also drinking while reminiscing about their past.

"So how is Willy?" Kira slurs while pointing a finger at no one in particular.

"Ahh he pisses and moans from time to time mostly cause there isn't anything to do.” Ron tells her while swaying.

"That sounds like him." Kira snickers.

Elijah, who isn’t drinking because he is still a child, looks at his leader curiously. “So how did you get stuck baby-sitting? I thought you were hired to be a police officer?”

“Originally but then there wasn’t much for me to do so Randy stuck me with the job of taking care of the brat.”

“Do you two fight a lot?” Sophia asks taking a sip off her daiquiri.

“Yeah but it’s mostly verbal, cause the kid can’t hit for shit.”

Ron drinks the last of his beer and looks around for a waitress. Mil walks past him and Ron reaches out grabbing his butt making the teen yip in surprise.

“Hey cutie, mind getting me another beer. I’ll tip ya good.” Ron says and gives him a light squeeze making Kira chock on her drink.

Mil growls and delivers a harsh smack to Ron’s face. “What the hell are you doing!?”

“Hey hey. Hold on I didn’t mea-“ Ron pleads but gets smacked in the face with a carrying tray.

“Pervert.” Mil says and dumps Elijah’s glass of soda over Ron’s head before stalking off.

“What the hell was her problem?” Ron grumbles while rubbing his cheek.

“Ron…that was Mil.” Kira says nonchalantly.

“Oh…” Ron says and pauses but then turns pale. “WHAT!?” He yells and retracts back while everyone but Brooklyn and Elijah giggle.

Elijah looks at his empty glass and pouts. “My drink.”

Mil walks down the hallway to his dressing room in a huff. He opens the door and slams it shut proceeding over to his mirror.

"First they try to kill me. Now they're trying to molest me. What the hell is wrong with these people?" Mil grumbles while fixing his outfit.

A hand reaches out and grabs Mil’s skirt pulling it up."Ooh. Nice panties."

Mil growls and swings his hand around. " JULIUS VALENTINE YOU PERVERT!" Mil yells and tries to smack him but Julius grabs his hand. Mil turns bright red and grumbles. "How'd you get in here?"

"This guy named Royce let me in. But who cares about that." Julius says and smiles perversely. "You know that outfit makes you look extremely sexy. Might be hard for me to control myself."

"Would you leave me alone? I've had enough of your crap today and I just had my ass grabbed by some dumbass."

"Poor thing. Let me make you feel better." Julius snickers and pushes Mil up against the table.

Mil growls and fidgets in his grip. "Damn it Julius, I'm not in the mood for-" Mil says but stops when Julius hands him a bouquet of white roses.

"I'm sorry for all the things I did to you. I was being childish." He says and looks at Mil who's in shock. "I hope you like them."

"I do. Thank you Julius. This was very kind of you.” Mil says and blushes. “And I'm sorry I kicked you earlier."

"No. I deserved it. I was acting like an asshole." Julius says and looks Mil up and down. "It’s odd of me to say this but you sure look beautiful."

Mil gives him an odd look. "Are you drunk or something?"

"No. Why do you ask?"

"Well you haven't tried sticking your tongue down my throat so I thought you might be.”

Julius laughs lightly and blushes. "Yeah I'm sorry for the way I acted earlier. I promise you I won't do that ever again."

"Yeah right.” Mil grumbles with his hands on his hips.

"Well I guess I should get going. See ya." Julius says with a waive.

Yeah." Mil says and watches Julius start to leave. "Hey Julius, wait." Mil places his hands on Julius’ shoulders and kisses his cheek.

Julius blushes and smiles but a knock draws their attention to the door.

"Hey Mil? I just want to let you know Jessica and your friends are here." A male voice informs him.

"Thanks Brad, I'll be right out”. Mil says and looks at Julius who looks a little uneasy. "Thank you again for the flowers."

"No problem. Go have fun." Julius smiles. Mil nods his head and gives a smile in return. Julius takes Mil’s hand and kisses it gently before walking out. Mil blushes and holds his hand to his chest. He then gets a annoyed look on his face. "Oh no. I was just flirting with him. Now he's going to be pervy again....But then again." Mil says and looks at the bouquet. "Maybe not."

Julius walking past Tristen, whose in drag, while grinning contently.

"So did you listen to my advise about being romantic?" Tristen asks.

"A little. I kind of mixed in a little of my charm."

"What did you do?"

"I lifted up his skirt and told him his panties were nice. Then I-" Julius begins but is cut off.

"Not that. What did you get him?" Tristen says shaking his head with a sigh.

"Oh. White roses. And I kissed his hand like a gentleman should."

"Well isn't that sweet. I wish I had a guy that would do that for me." Tristen sighs and Julius hands him a single white rose "This for me?"

"Yeah. The flower store lady gave me an extra one because she said I was adorable."

"You are adorable you know that?"

"Thanks.” Julius says turning red. Tristen giggles girlishly and puts his arm around Julius who tries to move away. "What do you think your doing?"

"I have an idea."

"I know what you’re thinking and the answer is no."

"Not that.” Tristen says and then giggles. "Unless you want to."

"Hell no!"

"I know, you only want Mil." Tristen whispers making Julius turns red. "I have a plan for you and Mil to be together. You see Trish, the others, and me don't like this girl Jessica, she's mean to Mil and is very rude to people. She also doesn’t except the fact he’s really a…” Tristen realizes what he’s saying an covers his mouth. “Oops.”

“He’s a what?” Julius asks curiously.

“Nothing, don’t worry about it.”

"So what’s the plan?"

"Well let me tell you.” He says and leans in whispering into Julius’ ear.

Julius gets a dumbfounded look on his face. "You think it'll work?"

"Of course!"

"Well...all right."

"Good. Come in here." Tristen says and walks into his dressing room with Julius following behind reluctantly.

Hyde and D are now on their way with Hyde driving and D sitting in the passenger seat. She sits silently looking out the window with a questioning look on her face.

"What's wrong?" Hyde asks.

"I'm just thinking about everyone back at the lab.” She says and looks at him with curious eyes. "Do you know how they died?"

"You mean you didn’t do it?" Hyde says packing a pack of cigarettes against the steering wheel.

"No, I woke up and they were all dead. Then I saw you and I thought you done it." D says.

"I wasn't told to kill anyone, just to take you."

"By who?"

"A woman named Natasha hired me too. She also told me to get you to baby-sit that kid." He tells her while lighting a cigarette.

"I see....Natasha, I remember Cindy saying…." D goes wide eyed. "Oh no!"

"What?"

"Cindy doesn’t know I'm gone. And I don't know where she is. Oh man she must be freaking."

"Don't worry. Everything will be all right." He says with a weird smile making D very uncomfortable.

There's a loud thump and the car jerks up making D scream. Hyde slams on the brakes and the two breath heavily out of fright. They look back to see a figure the size of a teenager sprawled out on the road.

"Great you ran someone over." D grumbles.

“I didn’t even see them walk out.” Hyde grumbles and goes to get out but something jumps on the roof. A blade protrudes through the roof slicing Hyde's shoulder open and making D scream again. They quickly get out of the car and see a creature with tan armor pull the blade out of the room and turn towards Hyde.

"So, they sent another one.” Hyde thinks to himself. “Which one are you?" He asks.

"You can call me SERAPH 2." It giggles in a childish voice.

"Hyde what's going on?" D asks worriedly.

SERAPH 2 looks back at D and jumps at her extending its blade out ready to cut her. Hyde jumps in front of D and moves her before she takes any damage. He quickly goes to his car and grabs a box from underneath the seat.

"D use these." Hyde says taking out a pair of uzis and handing them to her.

D hops out from behind the car and begins to fire at the SERAPH but the bullets just ricochet off the armor. She stop's firing and dodges the creatures attack. "Damn it will you help me!?" She growls at Hyde.

"I'm a little busy myself." He says.

D looks over to the figure they hit standing up and walking over towards Hyde. This one has violet armor, the number 6 on its arm, and giant claws extending from her fingers. At Zephyr, a group of middle and high school kids stand around in a corner chatting. A blonde girl sits in a chair with her arms folded, tapping her foot against the floor impatiently. Mil, still in drag, walks over to them. They waive at him and smile cheerfully except for the blonde girl who gets up and stomps over to him.

"What the hell took you!? You said you’d meet me here at eight. I've been waiting for ten minutes! And why are you still dressed like that? You’ll make me look like a lesbian!"

"I thought you were, Jessica." Trish giggles.

"I'm not like you muff diver." Jessica snaps.

Trish looks back and flicks her tongue at her between her fingers making Jessica growl pissedly.

"I can't believe the people you hang out with. When we begin dating I want you to quit."

"What!? I can't quit my job, I like it here." Mil whines.

"I can get you a job working at my step-father's company."

"Jessica, I'm 14. I can't be a businessman. And I hate wearing suits."

"Fine then. I guess I change my mind about wanting to go out with you." Jessica says snobbishly.

"Jess.” Mil pouts.

A blue haired Feline woman walks towards them and trips, very over dramatically, sending the drinks she was carrying soaring into the air and onto Jessica who begins to screech loudly.

"I'm so sorry. Here let me help you." The blue haired woman says while taking out a towel.

"Don't touch me you klutz!” Jessica snarls slapping the women’s hand away. “Ahh! I'm going to the bathroom to get cleaned up." She says and points a finger at Mil. "If I come back and your not here or if your talking to someone else I'm leaving."

"Don't worry. I won't." Mil says with a sigh.

Jessica leaves and the blue haired woman walks past Mil making a whip cracking sound.

“Shut up Roni Lynn!" Mil grumbles.

Roni Lynn laughs and walks back to where Tristen, Trish, Brad, and Aisha stand watching.

"Good job." Brad sniggers and gives her a high five.

"Yeah I know. So where is he?" Roni Lynn asks Tristen.

"He's out in the crowd. Just stay here and watch."

"But what about Jessica?"

"Royce is taking care of her.” Trish informs her.

Over at one of the female bathroom’s, Royce is sitting in a chair up against the girl’s bathroom door while reading a paper. Two female customers come up to him and stop.

"This bathrooms out of order." He informs them without looking up

Mil sits down at a table and decides to wait for Jessica to come back. He reaches into his pocket and takes out two of the pills Jordan gave him. "Well I don’t know what you wanted to tell me Jordan but oh well." He says and pops the pills into his mouth. He shakes his head and cringes after swallowing them. Mil starts to tremble and become woozy as loud footsteps come up to him.

"What's a pretty person like you sitting alone like this for?" A male voice asks.

Mil looks up to see a young man with slicked back blonde hair, wearing a cream colored leisure suit, pink tinted sunglasses and stilettos. "Nice outfit. You new here?" He asks.

"Umm.... yeah that's right." The young man says and puts his hand out. "My names…Rei. You?"

"You can call me Fayette." Mil says and takes his hand.

"Fayette, that's pretty." Rei says and kisses his hand making Mil blush. Rei gives him an apologetic smile. "Sorry if what I'm doing offends you. It's just you’re a really beautiful young woman and it's a shame that your all alone."

Mil blushes and looks down. ”Why do I feel warm inside when I look at him?" He thinks to himself.

A slow techno song starts to play and Rei watches as people take partners and begin dancing. "Would you care for a dance?"

"Umm okay.” Mil says reluctantly. Rei takes Mil's hand and helps him stand up. But Mil, who is still a little woozy, falls forward into Rei's arms. "Thank you." Mil says embarrassedly.

"Anything for you my princess." He says making Mil blush. The two walk off onto the floor and begin to dance. Mil looks away from the gaze of Rei who's smiling flirtatiously. He looks over at Rei again then set's his sights on his green eyes. "What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't be doing this. The person I'm on a date with will be back soon and might get pissy and try to hit you. Or me." Mil laughs nervously. "Damn these drugs are screwed up. I hope I don't say or do anything stupid." He says to himself.

"Don't worry. Everything will be all right, my little princess." He says again.

A new song starts to play and a familiar face stands on stage. Tristen takes out a microphone and performs his rendition of an old dance tune. The music starts to become faster and Rei takes Mil’s right hand spinning him around slowly. Rei rolls Mil up against him, they extend out, then come back facing each other, and clasp their hands together. A gun blasts but D and Hyde jump out of the way. The music is very fast paced now with Tristen still singing. Mil and Rei twirl around and laugh as the lights flash multiple colors. Royce looks at his watch and sighs. He slowly gets up, holding the door shut, and then quickly darts off in another direction as Jessica flings open the door snarling like a rabid dog. Mil and Rei continue to dance around excitedly while a few blocks away, Hyde gets thrown up against a wall with SERAPH 6 jumping at him with claws extended. Rei pulls Mil close to him which causes him to look up and blush. Rei leans down closing his eyes as Mil leans up closing his as well. There lips gently touch as Mil wraps his arms around Rei's shoulders and he wraps his around Mil’s waist. Like in some sort of trance they kiss passionately. Everything in the room spins around them like they’re the center of the world. Mil runs his hands down Rei's back and feels something sticking out of the back of Rei's coat. He pulls away and sees a fluffy red tail.

"Wait you’re a…” Mil says still in a slight daze. The pain glass window above them shatters suddenly sending shards of glass on top off people. Rei pushes Mil to the ground and cover's him with his body as people run and scream. Mil and Rei lift their heads and see that all the big shards missed them. A SERAPH, with light green armor and the number five on her arm, walks forwards while chuckling. SERAPH 5 dashes towards them at full speed, extends a blade, and aims it towards Mil. Mil closes his eyes and feels someone push him to the ground. There’s a soft squishy cutting noise and something warm hit his face. He opens his eyes to see Rei hunched over top of him with a blade sticking threw his chest. The wig falls off Rei's head revealing the red hair and fox ears underneath. Mil's eyes widen. " JULIUS!?"

Julius smiles weakly at him. SERAPH 5 pulls the blade out of Julius’ back making him fall into Mil’s arms. SERAPH 5 raises the blade over her head as Mil inches back dragging the bleeding Julius with him. A chair hits SERAPH 5 making her look over. Mil looks out the corner of his eye to see Wolfe and Randy standing there with weapons drawn.

"Get out of here! We’ll try to stop this thing!" Randy yells to him.

Mil nods his head and drags Julius toward one of the booths. SERAPH 5 tries to jump towards them but Ricky punches her with his fist sending it against a table. Mil takes Julius back into a booth, lays him on the seat and opens up the other teens shirt. The wound is bleeding vigorously, so Mil takes off his coat and presses it against Julius’ wound to try and stop the bleeding. But it soaks through after a few seconds. "DAMN IT!" Mil snaps and throws the blood soaked coat away. "Why did you do that!?"

"I said I'd protect you." Julius gasps out.

Mil looks at him through teary eyes and sniffles. "You idiot.”

“This is no time to cry Mil. He needs help.”

Mil looks back to see Tristen run in. “But I can’t do anything. I was never taught magic.”

Tristen kneels down and casts a healing spell which sparkles a light green and makes a soft humming noise. Mil looks out the door to see his father and his friends fighting with the creature. Hyde and D slump slowly to the ground, worn out from their bout with the SERAPH.

"Damn it! These things are invincible!" D gasps out.

"They’re a lot stronger then the one I killed before." Hyde tells her.

SERAPH 2 puts a hand to the side of her head suddenly and nods. She then turns and starts running down the street. The other watches for a few seconds and then chases after her.

"Where are they going?" Hyde says getting up slowly holding his bleeding shoulder.

"Hey Hyde? You said you killed one before right? When was that?" D asks.

"That was that night I took off. It tried to-" Hyde begins but then gasps and starts running after them. "Oh shit!"

"Hey wait where are you going!?"

" ZEPHYR! The last one I fought was trying to kill Mil! That's where they're headed!"

D grumbles and looks at Hyde’s car, which was flipped over when one of the SERAPH threw Hyde into it. “Damn, I hate running.”

Back at Zephyr, Randy, Wolfe, and Ricky are trying to hold off SERAPH 5 as Cindy, Shellie, Aiden, and Yuki help get people out. Mil is in the booth watching the fight as Tristen heals Julius’ wound.

"Who the hell are you and what the hell are you planning to do!?" Wolfe snarls at her.

"You can call me SERAPH 5. And I'm here to kill the child. So give him to me and I won't have to hurt anyone else."

Randy takes out his gun and points it at her. "Like hell will give him to you!"

"You leave me no choice then." She says and runs at Ricky, slicing at his chest, while Randy shoots his pistol her.

Mil looks in shock and anguish as his father and his friends fight off the SERAPH. "That creature’s after me. It hurt people so it could try to kill me. It even injured Julius." Mil says to himself and looks back at his injured friend. Mil furrows his brows and then his face becomes unyielding as he looks back at the creature. Mil removes his stilettos, wig, and glasses before running out.

Tristen gasps and watches Mil run out. " Mil get your ass back here!"

But Mil ignores him and runs out into the middle of the room. "Hey asshole! I'm the one you want right!? Then try and catch me!" He says while flipping the creature off. Mil then bolts towards the door as SERAPH 5 chases after him.

"What the hell are you doing Mil!?" Randy yells furiously and goes to follow but SERAPH 5 throws a table at him stopping his movement.

Mil pushes through the doors and runs outside as the people that got out and some other pedestrians begin to run away screaming. SERAPH 5 busts the door down and dashes towards Mil who moves out of the way. SERAPH 5 turns and swipes at him but the teen dives foreword and rolls behind her. He gets up and faces his attacker as SERAPH 5 chuckles.

“What’s so funny!? Mil snaps.

“You.”

“Huh?” Mil says as SERAPH 2 jumps down behind him and put her arms around his shoulders. “GET OFF ME YOU BITCH!” Mil demands but goes wide eyed when he looks forward seeing SERAPH 6 quickly lunge towards him holding a small dagger.

Mil screams but is cut off as the sound of metal cutting through flesh echoes. Mil stands their trembling, with the dagger stuck in his throat, chocking on the blood that has entered his lungs. Hyde and D make it there just in time to see SERAPH 6 pull the dagger out and Mil dropping to the ground lifelessly.

All three SERAPH look over and chuckle. “Oh look. More play things.” Seraph 2 says.

Hyde and D both get into fighting stances preparing themselves for an attack.
