After everyone had a nice breakfast of pancakes with buttered toast, Chantelle headed out to do her chores again. It was only slightly cooler today than it had been before. As usual, she had a shower the second she came back inside and sat down on the couch next to Jin with a sigh. “Man, I hope this heat wave stops soon...”

Jin shrugged. “Well, according to the weather report on the news, its supposed to be hot for the next few days... but I think I heard them say something about a possible thunderstorm the day after tomorrow...”

She sighed in relief. “Good, at least THAT will cool things off.”

Kuwabara suddenly blinked and looked out the living room window. “Um... someone's... pulling in...”

Chantelle cursed and quickly joined him by the window, her mind frantically trying to come up with some kind of an explanation for her guests. However, when she saw the car as it pulled up beside the house, she let out a moan. “Oh... no. Not HIM...”

Kurama came up beside her and peered out with her. There was a boy who looked to be around her age getting out of the car with sandy blonde hair and a muscle shirt. “Who is he?”

She let out an irritated sigh. “My ex boyfriend. Just wait here. I'll get rid of him...”

The others watched as she put on a pair of shoes and made her way outside. The expression on her face told them she was not looking forward to this.

The rest of them came over to watch them through the living room window. Their hearing was good enough that they could hear every word clearly.

The boy grinned at her. “Hi, Chantelle! It's been a while. It's been what? A month?”

She had her arms crossed and looked at him cooly. “Not long enough for my tastes. What the hell are you doing here, Matt?”

He got a somewhat crushed expression on his face. “Aw, c'mon. Don't be like that. You and I really had something, ya know? I was thinking we could get back together.”

She let out a harsh laugh and rolled her eyes. “I'm glad YOU think so. But I seem to recall things differently. First off, you started pressuring me for sex only a week after we met, and then you break up with me four months into the relationship because you got Stephany Samay pregnant and had to take care of her, is what you said. What happened to that? Are you leaving a pregnant woman high and dry now?”

He frowned a little. “She decided to get an abortion, then her parents sent her to live with her grandparents over in Vancouver. Said they didn't trust me.”

She snorted. “Amazing how parents are sometimes smarter than their children, huh?"

“Hey! I'm not a bad guy!”

“You're not exactly a GOOD guy either! What kind of a man cheats on his girlfriend when they've only been going out for a few months? Not only that, but you got the other girl pregnant! About the only halfway decent thing you did, in my point of view, was admit what you did and left to try and help her. But I sure as hell am not going to go through with it again.”

He stepped toward her, a frown coming to his face. “Ya know, I wouldn't have even needed to cheat on you if you had given me a few good lays...”

Yusuke, Kuwabara, Jin, Rinku and Chu clenched their fists and ground their teeth together, hearing this boy as he continued to talk. Kurama frowned deeply and both Hiei and Toya's eyes narrowed dangerously.

Christina stared at Matt for a few long seconds in total shock.

“WHAT?! YOU FUCKING PRICK!!!! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! GOD'S GIFT TO WOMEN?! DO YOU THINK WOMEN HAVE TO LAY ON THEIR BACKS JUST TO MAKE YOU HAPPY?!”

He smirked. “Well, you're the only one who didn't...”

She was trembling in rage. “GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY YARD!! GET OUT AND DON'T COME BACK!!!”

He grinned and stepped closer to her. “You know why I came down today?” His grin widened as he took a hold of her wrist and tried to pull her against him. “Because I know you're here alone... and no one can hear you if you scream...”

The men in the house stiffened seeing this, almost seething in rage now.

Chantelle managed to twist out of his grip and her hand lashed out slapping him hard across the face. “GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS OFF OF ME!!!!!”

His expression was shocked for a moment, and then it turned enraged. “You little bitch...” He lunged at her without warning and got his hands around her throat, throwing her against the pump house and lifting her small form off the ground. “I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!!!”

Chantelle's neck was being held in an iron grip, her eyes were shut tightly and her mouth was opening and closing, trying to breath. Her legs were kicking weakly beneath her as she felt her head start to go light immediately, the blood flow to her brain being cut off by Matt's death grip.

Then, just as suddenly, his hand was gone and she fell to the ground gasping for breath and holding her sore throat. She felt someone's hands on her shoulder and opened her eyes to find Kurama knelt in front of her, his eyes looking at her in concern. Jin, Chu, Rinku, Yusuke and Kuwabara were right behind him.

“Chantelle! Are you all right?!” the fox demon asked.

She sighed in immense relief and nodded. “Yeah... But who...?” she looked past them and saw Hiei now had Matt around his neck with one hand, lifted up into the air. The look in his eyes promised a very painful death to the human in his hold.

The girl let out a cry of alarm. “HIEI!!! DON'T KILL HIM!!!!”

His eyes met hers, and she felt a chill race down her spine at the murderous glint in them. “He threatened to rape you and just tried to kill you... and you still want me to let him live?” he asked, his voice low and holding a very real threat.

She got to her feet, still massaging her throat. “If there weren't going to be any consequences, then I'd be more than willing to let you do it! But if you kill him and the police come around here asking questions, it's only going to cause more problems! Just find a way to get rid of him.”

The fire demon scowled, and then let the boy drop to the ground. Matt coughed and took in lungful's of air. He tried to scramble back away from the little demon, but Toya stepped forward and the human suddenly found his lower body encased in ice. “We can't just let him leave after he saw us. There must be a way to ensure he's silent about our presence here.”

Kurama nodded and stepped forward. He stood before the boy, who was both shivering from the sudden layer of ice he found himself encased in, and in total confusion and fear as to who these boys were. The fox demon pulled a seed out from behind his ear and made it sprout in his hand... some sort of thorny vine. Several of the thorns snaked forward and imbedded themselves inside his left temple.

“You will forget us.” He said. “And you will NEVER speak to or come near this woman ever again. In fact, you will forget her as well. You WILL get into your car and leave immediately. Let it be known that should you ever set foot in this yard again... you will die by OUR hands.” His eyes were cold as he regarded the human man before him. Chantelle was shocked, never having seen that look on Kurama's face before. “Now leave.”

Toya smirked and the ice dissolved. The man got to his feet once more, his eyes blank as he climbed back into the car and drove off.

Kurama nodded. “He will forget all about us now...” He looked at Chantelle. “And he will never bother you again.”

She sighed in relief. “Thanks.”

He gave her a gentle smile and nodded.

Chu looked at her. “How's your neck and back? He slammed ya pretty hard... at least as far as humans go...”

She waved it off. “I'll be fine. This isn't the first time a guy...” She stopped and quickly shut her mouth. “I'm going inside,” she said quickly and reentered the house, catching only a glimpse of their faces as their eyes widened in surprise.

Yusuke frowned deeply. “Was... she about to say... what I think she was about to say?”

Hiei nodded, his headband off. He had a deep frown on his face. “Yeah... she's been abused by boyfriends in the past. In fact... I think those are the kind of guys she seems to attract.”

Kurama thought back and found that it did seem to make sense. She always seemed to shy away when any of them made a pass at her, and the way she seemed so eager to please them... cooking, cleaning, mending their clothes, tending to their injuries, even letting them stay here in the first place... was it possible that she was secretly terrified that they would harm her if she did otherwise? It was a very sad thought, but he knew it was a very real possibility. Looking around, he could see the others were thinking along the same lines.

Coming up with an idea, Kurama motioned for Rinku to come to him. He smiled at the little demon. “Rinku... she would find you to be the least threatening of all of us. Despite the fact that you ARE a powerful demon, you still look and act like a child. Perhaps you could go in there and reassure her.”

The little boy demon blinked. “Do you think that's really a good idea? I mean... I don't like the fact that she might be afraid of us either, but... what if she didn't want us to know?”

Toya had his arms crossed. “It's a little late for that. I'm pretty sure from the expression I saw on her face that she's very much aware that we understood the implications behind her words. That's why she ran inside.”

Rinku sighed. “Well... okay. I'll go talk to her then. But what are you guys gonna be doing?”

Kurama looked at his companions with a small smile. “I think we could use a small walk... to pass the time. Besides, I want to have a look at the countryside.”

They all nodded as one.

So, Rinku went back inside as the others started off up toward the oil well in the back of the house. The little demon looked around he living room and kitchen area, seeing no sign of the girl. He looked down the hallway, and his sensitive ears caught a sound coming from inside her room. He hesitated for a moment, and then went to see her, knocking on her door.

The room went silent in an instant, and then he heard a slight rustle on the other side. The door opened a little and Chantelle blinked, seeing him standing there. She looked down the hall toward the kitchen. “Where are the others? Didn't they come in?”

Rinku smiled a little sheepishly and shook his head. “They figured that since you've been stuck with them the last few days, you'd appreciate having a little time to yourself, so they went for a walk to check out the countryside.

She took in a deep breath. “What you really mean is... they caught the slip I made and are hoping that leaving me be for a few minutes might give me some time to calm down...”

Rinku cringed and then found himself looking at his feet. “Um... if you don't wanna talk about it, I could always just go...” he said in a small voice. He wasn't really nearly as sensitive as he was making himself out to be, but he wanted her to feel at ease around him.

She looked down at him in surprise. “Oh, Rinku...” She gave him a gentle smile. “You don't have to go anywhere. Come on in.”

He nodded and entered the room, taking a seat beside her on the bed after she sat down. He looked up at her. “Are you sure you're okay? I mean your neck and back...”

She nodded. “Yeah. I might have a little bruising, but it's nothing that's gonna need a doctor.”

He was quiet for a moment, looking off ahead as he seemed to think for a moment. Then he looked up at her, his expression serious. “Ya know... just because some of us are demons, doesn't mean we'd ever hurt you. Hiei can SEEM scary sometimes, but he'd never hurt an innocent girl like you. In fact, I think he'd kill anyone who even considered it. Kurama is very kind and gentle, and even though he's a kinda two in one deal, he'd never do anything to bring you harm. Even though Kuwabara's made a few suggestive comments, he's actually got a love interest back home... same with Yusuke. They'd crawl over red hot coals to protect a girl in danger. Chu's a drunk, but he's the fun sort of drunk who'd much rather spar with someone strong than try to hurt someone who can't defend themselves. Toya's an ice demon... and though HE'S definitely seductive, he would never force any girl into anything. Jin's got a thing for you, but he's harmless. Just the kinda guy who likes to crack jokes and have fun. And as for me...” He blushed and rubbed the back of his head. “Well... I'm just a kid... or at least I've got the body of one. I could like you as a MOM maybe, but definitely not in THAT way. You're way too nice for me to even consider trying to hurt. I like you too much.”

Chantelle looked at him for a long minute and then sighed. “It's not that I think any of you will actually HURT me... it's just...” she shrugged and smiled a little sheepishly. “I guess it's just sort of a habit by now. I'm just the sort of person who likes to keep people happy. I'm eager to please, I guess you could say. I don't know if it's from my past experience with guys or what, but...” she shrugged. “It's just... me. And I guess strong guys just naturally make me... a little nervous.”

Rinku seemed to think hard again for a moment, and then he looked up at her, a happy expression on his face now. “Well, I promise you right now that I'LL always protect you!! I won't let anything happen to you!”

Chantelle looked at his smiling face before she turned red and smiled. “Damnit! How can someone be so absolutely adorable?!” She pulled him into a hug, his face resting right in her chest. “I don't care if you're older than my GRANDMA!! I have a weakness for anything cute, and you're definitely cute!”

The little demon smiled happily, his face pressed up against her impressive bust, as his hands wrapped around her to hold her back. It was times like this that made him wish he had the body of an adult. But he wouldn't reach PHYSICAL maturity for another hundred years... which royally sucked, but what could he do? Besides, looking like a kid DID have its advantages when it came to women.

Chantelle smiled wider as she held him close to her. “Thanks for cheering me up, Rinku. I appreciate it.”

He grinned up at her. “Aw, it was nothin'!”
