Nagi finished up what he was working on and then went out to set up the living room. Within moments someone knocks at the door, opening it reveals Nanjiro carrying several DVDs and various assorted snacks. "Hi Nagi!"

Nagi smiled. "Hi, Nan-kun, welcome."

"Thanks. . . could you please do a huge favor for the Summoning Department?" he asks while setting everything down on the sofa and coffee table.

"I'd be happy to... what do you need?"

"Get a hold of Schuldig so he can get Watari out of his lab. . . else everyone will recall the exact reasons why he is currently the most unpartnerable person there. . . "

"Aah..." He went to the phone and dialed Schu's cell. "Yeah it's me... no I don't really want to know what you are doing with Yohji... Yeah, Nanjiro is here and has a request... get Watari out of the lab before something horrible shows up in the coffee... Yes tonight... I love you too, whore." Nagi quickly hung up... smirk on his face. "There you go."

**********

Stretching, Yohji looks up at Schu. . . "What was that about?"

"Apparently there is another blond in distress... Let me give him a call." He dialed Watari's number.

On the third ring the phone is answered, somewhere in the background Schuldig can hear something explode. "Moshi moshi?"

"Yo beautiful... blowing things up again?"

"Hi Schu. . . " from the man's tone, the redhead would be willing to bet that he is now sporting a nice blush. "Not really trying to blow things up. . . just a silly little concoction that went awry. How are you?"

"I'm good... wanna meet somewhere for a midnight dinner? I know of an Italian restaurant that 's open all night..."

"That sounds like it would be interesting. Just give me a moment to clean up and we'll meet up."

"Okay... Yohji will be coming to... is that alright?"

"Alright, not a problem. Where shall we meet?"

"Um... how about outside the club we're at right now."

"I'll be there in a bit. ja!"

Schu smiled smugly... he was so good. "Yotan... we've got company for dinner..."

**********

Walking down the pavement towards the club, Watari wonders idly what the allure of such a place is? There's too much smoke and you can barely even hear yourself think in such an environment. . . Now how is he supposed to find Schuldig and Yohji in this crowd.

"Hey there... are you new?" The voice belonged to a fairly large man with dark hair and eyes. His smile appeared pleasant though.

Raking a hand through long golden hair, Watari looks up at the man with a polite smile. "Sort of. I was trying to locate some friends of mine."

"Oh... what do they look like... maybe I've seen them..." He started to subtly steer the blond to one side, seemingly out of the way of other patrons trying to get in and out of the door.

Taking a few steps to the side the blonde blushes a little when he realizes that he was probably in the way of many people trying to get in and out of the club. "Ah, Schu is a little hard to miss. . . tall red haired gaijin with green eyes. . . "

"Oh him... yeah, I saw him earlier... back there." The man gestured toward a darker corner that was partially obscured by the crowd.

"Over there?" Watari asks as he starts taking careful and measured steps towards the location indicated, evading wandering hands from other patrons. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah... he was taking a breather..."

Arriving at the area, Watari looks around trying to find either Schuldig or Yohji. . . "I'm sorry, my friends don't seem to be here." He comments while turning to face the larger man, looking up at him through a few golden locks.

"Oh... that's too bad... guess I'll have to do." The man leaned over then and kissed Watari, grabbing him around the waist so he couldn't escape.

Hazel eyes widen as the shinigami starts struggling. . . but isn't able to gain any leverage against the larger man. . . Using his superior size and weight, the man backs the blond right up against the wall, in a small out of the way corner than no one was really going to watch too closely. Crying out a protest, the blonde suddenly finds the man's tongue deep in his mouth. Hands started to wander over the blonde's body, stroking and fondling, reaching into all those private areas...

Finally able to pull a little bit away, Watari manages to glare up at the man. "Let me go. . . "

"What's your hurry... so your buddy's not here... I am... I'll treat you right..."

"Leave me alone. . ."

"Oh come on... eeerk..." He jerked back, hands scrambling for the thin wire that was now wrapped around his throat. Scrambling away from the man, Watari suddenly finds himself in Schuldig's arms and promptly buries his face into the red head's shoulder.

/Ssshhhhh... I got you.../ Schu kept murmuring reassurances as Yohji got the jerk kicked out.

**********

Opening up another soda, Nanjiro fills up Nagi's glass as he offers some more chips to the young telekinetic. "I loved the special effects that they used here. . . . never mind that the entire plot is garbage.[1]"

"I can't get over how BAD the plot is... special effects can't make up for all that. How did this piece of trash make it in America, let alone get over here?" He grabbed a handful of chips. This was great... he'd never had a friend over before. EVER.

Laughing, the shinigami picks up the DVD case to look at the back, "not a clue. . . who knows what americans are thinking. . . besides, the entire thing is so false that it isn't even funny any more. The departments over there must be having a grand time with films like this. . ."

"What do you mean?" Nagi took a sip of his soda. Brad would kill him if he saw what they were consuming.

"Who is really going to believe that a little black blob thing is going to come after you when you don't die at the right time?" mismatched green eyes twinkle in amusement over the special effects creature. "Besides, murders, accidents and deaths assisted by a second or third party aren't exactly something that anyone can take into account."

"I guess you're right. Hey... can I ask you something?"

"Sure. . . what is it?"

"Your eyes... they don't match..."

Leaning forward, Nanjiro picks up a donut, "neither do Wakaba's eyes. . . "

"I noticed that... unusual." He snagged some cookies and giggled. "Brad would kill me if he caught me eating this stuff..."

"You should see half the junk that Tsuzuki is able to eat. . . it's hilarious to watch him."

"Tsuzuki... friend of yours?"

"He works in the same building. Actually, he's related to Fujimiya Ran. . . I think that the only thing those two have in common is their eyes. . . Ran acts too much like he has a stick shoved up his," pausing for a moment, the shinigami downs about half a pop can and just smiles at Nagi.

The brunette laughs. "I understand... same for my boss/guardian. He's such a prick..."

Tossing a pillow at the screen Nanjiro boos the movie. . . "Deaths every where take offense at you pathetic little blob. . . . " Laughing, he settles back into the sofa.

Nagi frowns... 'Deaths everywhere'... what did he mean by that. "Did you bring anything else?"

"Just a few others. . . Ringu, Interview with the Vampire, Fake, Nosferatu, and Plan Nine from Outer Space. . . "

"Fake... really? Schu hid his copy on me, bastard."

"Dee and Ryo are really cute. . . " Nanjiro comments holding up the DVD.

"Yeah..." 'so are you' his traitorous mind thought before he could stop it.

Pulling the Fake disk out of its case, Nanjiro can't help but smile at the compliment, but decides that it might not be the smartest thing to start a relationship with someone still living. . . especially one still so young. "Shall we?"

"Please..." Nagi hoped his blush wasn't too obvious.

**********

Finally, the three manage to get to the Italian restaurant, Watari still clinging to Schuldig the entire way there. Without a word, a booth in the back is taken and the orders are placed. . . Schu telepathically having lifted from the blonde's mind an idea of what he would have preferred.

/Watari... I'm sorry... we should have been at the door to meet you.../

Still shaking a little, the shinigami looks up at the red head, /i couldn't get him to stop. . . /

/I know... I 'heard' you... but it took a bit to find you... too many other people.../

**********

Opening one violet eye, Tsuzuki looks around to see if Muraki is anywhere near. . . seeing that the coast is clear, he silently gets up out of the bed and then into the shower to clean up from their earlier activities. Exiting the shower, he dons a pair of clean pajamas and robe before he walks out of his room to see if Ran is still around.

Ran was just stepping out of Aya-chan's room. She had fallen asleep while he read to her and he decided it was time to go home.

"Hey, isn't it a little late for you to be out?" Tsuzuki asks his grand nephew with a beaming smile.

"Not really... I'm often out later... how are you?"

Leaning against the railing, Tsuzuki shakes his head, "I've been better, but I've also been worse. Though I'm glad that Aya-chan is doing well..."

Ran smiled. "Yes... I didn't even dare hope anymore... and Muraki-sensei worked a miracle."

"It seems that doing the impossible is his specialty."

"Aa. I should really head home. I'll see you another time?"

"Sure. . ." It takes a moment, but the thought occurs to Tsuzuki. . . "Think that you would mind if I sent something with you for protection?"

"Send something with me? Why?"

Heading towards the young man, Tsuzuki shrugs, "You're not in the safest profession. . . and it would make me feel better."

Ran decides to humor the man, if it made him feel better... "Go ahead."

Searching around a little, Tsuzuki is able to find some paper and a pen and able to make a small makeshift fuda. . . The incantation is spoken, and the next thing that Ran knows is that he has a long lizard wrapped around him.

The redhead blinked. "What?"

"That's Kijin. . . . " Reaching over, Tsuzuki pats the 'lizard' on the head, who in response licks the shinigami's hand with a forked tongue. "Kijin-kun, this is Ran, my nephew. . . I need you to protect him for me, okay?"

A small stream of steam is the response before the small dragon nuzzles Ran's cheek.

**********

"Nagi, you know what we need now?" Nanjiro asks. . . without bothering to wait for an answer, "Pizza!!! We need pizza delivery!!"

The midnight eyed boy blinked... then smiled. "We can use the place Schu always calls... it's on speed dial... what do you like on it?"

"Ham, onions. . . oh, ground beef is always fun. . .. what about you?"

Nagi thought for a moment. "No green peppers, I'm allergic to them... but anything else is fine."

**********

Driving back to the Koneko, Ran wonders what the hell Tsuzuki was thinking when he sicced this oversized cross between a slinky and a lizard on him. . . . what was this thing's name again? Kiji? A scuttling sound draws his attention back to the reptile as it moves from the passenger seat, where it was sitting curled up, into the area behind the driver's seat. Whiskers tickling his right arm bring to his attention where that thing's head is. . . as it is peeking out the driver's side window.

"What are you looking at?" Ran shook his head. "Why am I talking to a lizard?"

Kijin looks up at Ran and purrs like a kitten at him before pulling his head back into the car.

He sighs. The fun was really going to start when he got home...

After thoroughly 'exploring' the back of the Porsche, with Ran hoping desperately that the reptile hasn't done anything interesting back there, Kijin returns to the front seat where it curls up again. . . watching Ran.

He sighed... at least he wasn't far from home. Tsuzuki had been a little right... he was out late, without any caffeine or anything else to keep him going

The rest of the trip was uneventful. . . up to the point where the little beast snapped at him, startling Ran back into full alertness when he had been about to fall asleep at the wheel.

"Crap... thanks, Ki... kiji... lizard-thing..."

Flicking its forked tongue out, the little 'lizard-thing' nuzzles against Ran's hand before settling back into the passenger seat for the remainder of the trip.

**********

Yawning, Yohji wanders into the basement of the flower shop the next morning, just in time to greet Ken and Ran as their shifts are supposed to start. "Ohayo. . ."

"You're up late... or early..." Ken frowned. "Were you out all night?"

Wrapping his arms around Ken, Yohji rests his chin on the soccer player's shoulder. "Yup, I was out all night. . . you should try it sometime ken-ken. . . "

Ran snorted. Ken frowned. "Yohji... what were you doing out all night... I thought you were going clubbing..."

"I was out clubbing. . ."

"Aaaaand?" Ken reluctantly ducked out of the blonde's loose embrace, unfortunately, he had to work.

"Schu and I had to pull some creep off of Watari that didn't understand what the word 'no' meant .. . after that we went to eat and we stayed talking till a bit ago. . . "

"Is Watari okay?"

Stretching a little, Yotan starts to head off to his apartment, "yeah. . . he was really shaken, but he's fine now."

"Hard to believe something as powerful as they are... would have problems like that..."

From the top of the stairs Yohji yells down, "Ran, your door is open. . . "

The redhead swore and started up the steps. Ken just watched him. "What's wrong with him today?"

Arriving at the top, Ran can see that sure enough. . . his door is open, having been unlocked from the inside, with no lizard in sight.

"Shit..."

"RAAN... we need to open up..."

Reluctantly, he pulled the door shut... hopefully the lizard would show up.

In the flower shop, Ken hears the pitter patter of little feet as a critter runs across the floor and accidentally knocks over a metal watering can.

"Damn... did another rat get in... RAAAN... get your katana... I think we have another rat..."

Armed and ready, the two assassins enter the flower shop, determined to destroy the rodent. Hearing noise from under one of the displays, Ken gets down on all fours, ready to attack the little creature. . . . When he sees a set of glowing eyes and steam rolling out from under that particular display. He jumps back, knocking over several pails and assorted unbreakables. "Shit... that's no rat..."

Gliding out from under the display, Kijin growls at Ken, steam pouring from his snout. . . whiskers flowing around him. Moving up, the dragon starts hovering in the air, menacing the brunette. . . letting both Ran and Ken see the power that he is gathering, glowing in his now open jaws as the growl starts to turn into a low roar. . .

"GAAAAAHHH!!!" Ken jumped back, tripping over the things he had knocked over earlier and ended up sprawled on his back... looking up at the thing in fear.

Rippling through the air Kijin keeps going after Ken, slowly increasing in size. . .

"Stop it... he's a friend... you know... FRIEND!!!" Ran shouted, stepping between the two.

A forked tongue flicks out and kisses the tip of Ran's nose before the dragon drops to the ground returning to its original size. Looking over at Ken, then to Ran. . . it chirps.

"Umm... Ran... something you might want to tell me?"

**********

Walking into the room, the first thing Muraki notices is the fact that the book Tsuzuki was reading is sitting in the shinigami's lap, the second is that the amethyst eyed man's attention is being held raptly by something outside. . .

"What are you watching?"

Tapping the glass Tsuzuki answers. "They should have waited till the roses had gone dormant before moving them. . . "

Muraki walked over to peer out. "Oh... the gardeners. You know something about gardening?"

"I used to take care of my sister's garden for her. . ."

"Ah. Then perhaps we can take a walk down there this evening... would you like that?"

Slowly Tsuzuki nods his head. "I would."

"Very well then... perhaps you could tell me what you were up to last night?"

Tucking his legs underneath him, Tsuzuki continues to look out the window. "You're going to be angry with me. . . "

"Perhaps... you used your magic last night... why?"

"I sent one of my younger shikis with Ran."

Striking like a snake, the doctor snatched the man's hair, yanking his head back. "Why?"

"Aah!!" Without thinking, Tsuzuki's hands go up to try and lessen the pain, unaware of the tears starting to form in the corners of his eyes... "so. . . no one else. . . could harm. . .him."

"no one else... like ME perhaps?!"

"his. . . his job. . . " A few single solitary tears have made their way from his eyes and started their journey down the shinigami's cheeks. "is dangerous. . . "

Muraki abruptly released the brunette. "Ah... such concern for family... so touching."

**********

Schuldig rolls over, wrapping his arms around the shinigami. Cracking open one emerald green eye, he looks down at the still snoozing blonde and is in time to see him nuzzle closer.

/awe... how cute.../ Watari's mind wasn't quite awake yet and didn't really respond. It had taken a lot of talking and some very serious cuddling to even get the blond to sleep, so he wasn't surprised that the scientist was still sleeping. Stirring a little Watari wraps one arm around Schuldig, pulling the German closer to him. . . with a small yawn he nestles his head against the red head's shoulder, still content in his sleep.

The redhead smiled... he was just so cute. But unfortunately... he himself was VERY awake. He wondered if Nags was up yet... It might be an illusion, but Schu can swear that he saw blue instead of hazel peeking out at him from beneath those dark curling lashes. . . .

He definitely required coffee. Nagi was starting to wake up in the other room... /Naaaaaagiii..../

/no./

/Naaaaaaaaaaaagiii. . . . wakey wakey. . . . . ./

/nooooo... go away.../

/Get me some coffee. . . . . pleeeeeeeeease?/

/noooo... stop it... you're making me wake up.../

/I'll wake up your boyfriend. . . ./

/he's not my boyfriend... fine... i'm up, damn you.../ He opened his eyes. Nan-kun was still asleep on the other end of the couch. Nagi sighed and sat up. /coffee... right?/

/Yup! Thank you. . . . / ^_^

/you owe me.../ He slowly got up, cursing at the stiffness in his neck. Couches weren't made for sleeping. He took a quick look at the blue-haired boy. He really was cute...

Sighing, Nanjiro's lips curled into a slight pout.

Nagi bit his lip. Maybe... he knelt at that end of the couch... and carefully leaned over the other boy. He licked his lips nervously... just a quick peck couldn't hurt...

**********

"What do you mean, Tsuzuki sent this thing with you?" Ken asks, somewhat altercated.

From the floor, Kijin simply snorts at the brunette and glides over to Ran, curling around the red head's legs with a purr.

Gomen minna for taking so long with this chapter posted. My computer was in the shop for longer than I expected. The prospect of losing all your files is not a good one, thankfully all my files were sitting on the secondary drive as well as the fact that Yanagi-sen has a copy of everything that we've worked on together to date. *mourning the fact that she is still trying to replace all her old apps*

Responses to Reviews:

E-san: See, Ran-chan is just fine, he got out of Muraki's care with all his limbs intact. Ran even got a new little friend. What do you mean Hisoka was left out of the story. . .he's. . . uhm. . . .not even in this chapter at all. . . . oopsie. *throws bishie in the air to distract*

Kara Angitia: Tadaaa!!!! More Watari torment plus snuggling!!!! Hai, I liked the darts too. . .

Muchacha: Evil Muraki can be many many things. . .
