Chapter Two, Part 2

"If I wasn't serious then I wouldn't offer," Aloys said as he ignored Kyou's sarcasm.

This was too ridiculous to be true. "Thanks but no thanks. I'll manage on my own."

Aloys looked at the younger man unimpressed as he walked up to the door to stand almost back to chest behind Kyou. The vampire put a hand in the middle of the door and leaned into it. "That is all well and good, but what about the monsters chasing after you yesterday? Hmm?" he questioned, his breath tickling Kyou's ear, but not a single part of them touching. "What if they attack you again? Will you be able to defend yourself?"

Kyou hadn't thought of that. What if they did come back? He shivered as he thought about those creatures finding him again.

He glanced at up at Aloys' hand. Maybe... he could use this to his advantage..."Alright... but if I stay here, I get my own room. And you can't do anything to me without my permission."

"I promise I won't do anything without permission, but just keep in mind that I'll be able to find you no matter where you run," he said. Kyou could tell without looking that the idiot was grinning smugly as if he won the argument.

Kyou rolled his eyes, even though he knew the vampire couldn't see them. "Yeah, whatever, but JUST until those creatures are gone for good. Any biting, licking, kissing -anything like that- is prohibited, understood?"

"I understand," he agreed. "Is it fine if I went to your place to help you get your things?"

Kyou looked at him for a moment. "Won't you burn up if you go outside? It's still daytime."

"Again, love, I am afraid you have been misinformed. I am old enough where I can go out into the sunlight, as long as it's not too strong, for extensive periods of time."

"Just keep your creepiness to yourself," he sighed as Aloys opened the door, and let in the cool, early evening air.

Kyou stepped out and breathed it in. "Where are we anyway? I have never seen this part of the city," he asked as he looked around. In the panic and terror the night before, he was even more confused as to where he was.

"My house is in a dimension that is in between the human and demon world," Aloys replied as he went to take Kyou's hand, but pulled it back at the last moment. "But this is on the outskirts of town."

Kyousuke felt a small blush start to form on his cheeks, but he forced it down. "I never knew so many Fiends lived in town…" his voice trailed off.

"It's not as uncommon as you might think," Aloys responded and stopped before they stepped out onto a busy street. "Now, where is your place?"

"My apartment is on High Street," Kyou said. "If we hurry, we can catch the train-" Aloys chuckled, interrupting the purplette, and patted Kyou's head, "Pfft. We don't need the train."

Before Kyou could ask what he meant, Aloys grinned mischievously and suddenly reached out. He grabbed the other man's waist before they were both engulfed in shadows.

Kyou barely had a moment to register the panic forming in his mind before Aloys released him just as abruptly as he had grabbed him. A sign showed him that the two of them were on the previously specified street.

"That power is so fun to use," the vampire hummed. He then looked over at Kyou and added unconcerned, "You okay? Sometimes people get sick~"

Kyou blinked in a mix of surprise, and irritation. He barely gave Aloys a glance before he rushed across the street and into the complex where he lived. He didn't want anyone seeing him with a Fiend.

Kyousuke took the elevator to the third floor and opened the mailbox for the spare key. He went to insert the key into the lock, but it was then he noticed the door was slightly ajar.

Kyou carefully pushed the door open, and what he saw filled him with a mix of fear and anger. His apartment was trashed. All the furniture was upturned, papers and books scattered everywhere, and there were gouges all along the walls and floor like an animal had been let loose in there.

He went into his bedroom and found it in a similar state. He felt a chill go up to his spine as he gathered some clothes quickly and avoided tripping over the disemboweled mattress as he made his way around the room.

Kyou was about to walk out the door when he heard a sharp chime sound through the ransacked apartment. Kyou scrambled to find it and found it was his cell phone under an upturned coffee table.

"H-hello?" he asked nervously after he opened the line. On the other end was just crackling static and silence. "Hello," he tried again, but then the line abruptly disconnected.

He closed his side of the call and quickly made his way out of the apartment. Next, he called the landlord only to get a voicemail, and then the police station. Apparently, there was a high number of crimes being committed because he was unable to get a hold them either.

Kyou hung up his phone after leaving a message as he stepped out of the building, and looked up to see a group of giggling, gawking girls who had gathered to stare at Aloys.

'That stupid vampire!' he thought and was about to turn around and go in the other direction when he heard, "KYOUSUKE!"

Kyou felt the wind knocked out of him a moment later as he was tackled from behind and hit the pavement with a thump.

"Kyou, I'm so glad that you're alright!" The man-child on his back cheered.

"Mika, will you get off of me?!" Kyou said angrily and tried to shove the small ginger off of him.

"Where have you been? I have been looking for you all day! You weren't at work, so I was really worried!" Mika said as he got to his feet.

Kyou rolled his eyes and dusted off his clothes as he stood too. "I'm fine, Mika, so stop acting so stupidly. And how did you know it was me from so far away? You're blind as a bat when it really matters."

"So mean, Kyou, but I'd recognize your grumpy form anywhere. I'm glad you are alright, though~" the ginger's slightly off gaze was then directed at Aloys. "Who are you?" he asked.

Kyou groaned internally. He had been hoping the Mika wouldn't notice the vampire.

Aloys snickered at Kyou. "Aloys," he responded to the ginger's question with a grin.

"Oh, well hello, I'm Mika. Nice to meet you! Are you a friend of Kyou's? I didn't know he had any other friends beside me!"

"We aren't friends," Kyou snapped at the ginger-haired man. "Now go away."

Aloys ignored Kyou's words and answered Mika. "I helped him out last night, but he's been asleep most of the day," Aloys grinned mischievously as he explained.

Kyou slapped the vampire up the backside of the head without thinking. "Idiot! Don't tell him that!"

Mika just smirked. "Haha. Sounds like, Kyou. He has a sharp tongue, but don't let his words get to you. He just doesn't like to admit when he likes someone~"

Aloys blinked, "I've realized that it was quite obvious earlier," he chuckled before a man that Kyou recognized stepped up behind Aloys and slung an arm casually over the white-haired man's shoulder. "Lyall," he said dryly. "What a pleasant surprise."

"Y-YOU!" Kyou gaped and pointed at the redhead. "You're the creepy guy from the subway!"

Lyall looked at him with indifference. "I don't know what you are talking about, but that's rude to say to someone you've just met," the man sniffed indignantly.

"Aloys~" he greeted in return, turning his attention to the other man. "What are you doing out and about? I swear you need to stop doing that unless you want to get molested. I didn't save you just for you to get groped to death years later," he scolded as Aloys winced.

"Yeah yeah, I don't think about that stuff, which is why I keep forgetting it. Anyway, Lyall, why are you here?" Aloys questioned with a groan.

"Is it against the law to want to go shopping? What, did you think I was stalking you? I just happened to spot you, that's it. I'll let you kids get back to your date and be on my way now," the feminine man waved before continuing on his shopping spree now that he had scolded the white-haired man and left. Kyou more confused than before.

"Wow. You know that guy?" Mika asked, his grey eyes following the redhead as he walked away.

Kyou rolled his eyes and adjusted the strap on his shoulder. "Yeah, who the hell was that creep?"

"Well, you could say that, although that's not exactly correct," Aloys sighed, seeming to ignore Kyou's part of the question. "I'm ready to go home," he yawned with stretch.

Mika opened his mouth to speak when his phone went off. "Oh crap! I have to get to my other job!" With that, he hailed a cab. "See you later, Kyou!" he called as he got in. "I'll see you around. Nice to meet you, Aloys!"

Kyou just lamely waved back with a heavy sigh of irritation. " Yeah, yeah."

Aloys chuckled and grabbed Kyou's hand. He pulled them back into the shadows as a large truck zoom passed them and suddenly they were back in front of the house again.

Kyou yelped at the sudden change in their scenery. "What the hell?! Warn someone when you are going to do that!"

He laughed softly and hugged Kyou, resting his forehead on the other's shoulder casually.

Kyou pulled away and opened the door. "You sure are cuddly for a vampire..." he complained.

"I wasn't like this when I was human, so things change," he said with a sigh as he let Kyou go.

Kyou went to the living room. "Which room is mine?" he asked and looked at Aloys.

The vampire thought a moment, and went down the hall, and opened the door right next to the one that was before the end of the hall. He didn't have the energy to make the comment his room was right next to vampires.

He followed Aloys into the room, and after turning the light on placed his bag on top of the dresser, and opened the curtains.

"I thought you vampires slept in coffins," he said as he remembered the huge bed in Aloys' room from the night before with some embarrassment.

"Some prefer coffins, some prefer beds. I got sick of coffins a long time ago," he said as he looked around. "This room is a little dusty, but it should be fine once it gets aired out."

Kyou nodded and shifted on his feet. After a moment he made way to the to the ornate bed.

It was easily larger than a king, and the bed frame was thick with a canopy cover, like in those Victorian movies, with the intricate carvings and the velvet curtains.

"Doesn't this seem a bit gaudy?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

Aloys shrugged. "I didn't choose this rubbish," he said with a slight defensiveness in his voice.

Kyou rolled his eyes. "I never said you did," he replied as he grabbed the nearest curtain and ran his hands over the soft surface.

He waited for Aloys' reply, but there was only silence. After another moment, when he was about to move, he felt a hand touch the ends of his ponytail.

"What do you think you are doing?" he asked as he stiffened.

Aloys mumbled something as he curled his fingers into his hair.

"What?" he asked turning around.

He stopped short when he was almost nose to nose with the vampire.

"I said," Aloys repeated softly, "You amuse me."

Kyou rolled his eyes. "And you're an idiot." he huffed.

"I get that a lot," the other man responded, his mouth quirking in a smirk.

"I can see why," Kyou retorted with a raised eyebrow, the challenge to have the last word making his mouth move.

Aloys dropped the lock of hair and stepped back. "Why purple?"

Kyou glanced down and to the side briefly before he looked back up to meet the vampire's heterochromatic eyes. "Why do you think?" he snorted rhetorically after a moment. "To keep people away from me. Most people with a shred of safety awareness stay away from people with piercings and crazy hair colors." He tucked some hair behind his ears to show the small black gages in his earlobes.

Aloys nodded. "I see," was all he said before he added, "Well, I am a little intimidated to ask,love, but are you hungry yet? You haven't eaten since you've been here."

Kyou sighed. "Just some tea would be fine. Earl Gray if you have any with lots of cream and sugar..." He began to answer when his stomach let out a loud growl. "... And maybe a salad if you have the stuff for that. I'm a vegetarian, so no meat, got it?"

The vampire nodded, "I have all those things. Kain and Sera are both humans after all," he added tersely before he disappeared to go and prepare the requested drink and food.

Kyou sighed, and leaned back against the nearest bedpost, overwhelmed and exhausted. 'What a weird turn of events...' he decided, and not for the first time that day, wondered what the hell he was going to do if this perfunctory arrangement went south...
