Kuronue watched them from a tree, a smile playing across his lips. It is nice to see Yoko so happy, even if that happiness isn�t directed at me� His eyes widened slightly as Yoko turned his head and stared directly at him.

�Why are you hiding, Kuronue? Come here�� Yoko grinned.

Kuronue obliged, smirking. �Took you a while to notice me, didn�t it?� he teased, kissing his fox�s head.

Yoko laughed. �No, I know you�ve been following us. I just chose to ignore you.�

Kuronue snorted and looked at Suichi who kept his face hidden in Yoko�s lap. �Sill angry at me, huh, kid? Understandable.�

The redhead didn�t answer, merely pulling the blanket closer around him. After a moment he opened his eyes and looked up at Yoko, evidently deciding to act like Kuronue didn�t exist. �We should go back home soon, Yoko. The sun will start to rise in an hour or so, and I promised Mother I�d be home when she woke up��

The fox glanced out the window and nodded. He pulled Suichi up and grinned mischievously. �OK, but can you walk?�

Suichi turned crimson. �I don�t know, but whose fault would it be if I can�t?� he shot back. Kuronue turned his back as the boy dressed, knowing how shy humans were.

Yoko checked them out of the hotel, biting back a grin as the concierge threw Kuronue an odd look. Kuronue did not notice; he was too busy devouring the fox�s denim-clad ass with hungry eyes.

�Those pants are dangerous, Yoko,� he growled.

The fox looked back at him and winked. �I know,� he giggled.

I feel like his eyes keep straying to me�I wish he�d come out from behind us�if he really must accompany us, I would prefer if he at least stayed where I could see him� Suichi shifted nervously as Kuronue�s eyes wandered. Yoko put a comforting arm around his shoulders.

�Kuronue, you�re making Suichi nervous,� he laughed. Suichi blushed again, wondering how the fox had read his thoughts.

The bat snorted in laughter and came to walk on Yoko�s other side. He glanced over at the redhead. �Your fear is misplaced, Suichi. I won�t touch you again,� his smile was lost in the lightening darkness.

Suichi ignored him, turning into his apartment building without a word. The demon pair followed, and Suichi hesitated. I didn�t realize Kuronue planned on coming upstairs!! But as much as I hate to admit it, I really have no choice but to let him do what he wants� He sighed and opened his front door as quietly as he could. Yoko followed him inside, but Kuronue remained in the hall.

Suichi looked back at him. �Are-are you coming inside or not?�

The bat shrugged. �Depends on whether or not you want me to,� he replied.

�I-I didn�t think I had a choice�� Suichi whispered, a little surprised.

Kuronue shrugged again, still standing in the doorway. �Your house,� he muttered.

Yoko had been watching the exchange in silence. Now, he started to laugh, clamping his hand over his mouth to try and muffle the sound. �Su-Suichi,� he gasped, �he�s�we�re�vampires remember?� Suichi gaped at him in incomprehension. �Think, boy! Legends and lore don�t come into existence for no reason! What do your human legends say about vampires and other peoples� houses?�

Gradually, Suichi understood. He flushed and looked back over at Kuronue, feeling utterly stupid. �Y-You can come in, Kuronue,� he mumbled. �S-Sorry��

The bat grinned, softly shutting the door behind him. �Don�t worry about it. At least you figured it out.�

He�s so different now� he was so scary before, and so intimidating�now he�s amiable�almost nice�I don�t know what to think anymore! Suichi shook his head and stifled a yawn. He glanced out the window, aware of the lightening sky. �I�m going to bed,� he announced, turning his back on the two demons. Yoko looked from his retreating figure to Kuronue, indecision stamped across his face. Kuronue grabbed his collar and kissed him before nudging the fox towards Suichi.

With a grateful smile, Yoko followed his scion into the bedroom. He peeled off his clingy clothing and replaced them with his usual soft silk robes. The fox turned and looked at Suichi, biting his lip as he saw the sad, brooding look on the boy�s beautiful face.

�Suichi�� Yoko sat down on the bed and draped his arms around Suichi�s shoulders. �You don�t�regret anything that happened tonight, do you?�

Suichi shook his head, not a whisper of hesitation in the movement or his voice. �Not at all, Yoko. Why would you think I would?�

The fox sighed in relief and kissed Suichi�s slender neck. �You just�looked so sad and pensive for a moment,� he murmured.

�I-I was thinking about Kuronue,� Suichi explained, blushing a little. �I just can�t help but be wary of him, even though I can tell he�s not going to hurt me again. It�s like� he�s a different person. A week ago he was this frightening, intimidating presence threatening you in your own home, and now, he�s relaxed and loving�how can I know which Kuronue is real?�

Yoko sighed and lay down, Suichi curling up in his arms. �Both are as real as the other, unfortunately. I�ve known him for five hundred years and he�s always been moody. That night, he�he was jealous and afraid, and we unwittingly sparked a mood-swing. But fortunately for us, those are becoming less and less frequent, and when his mood does shift, it lasts for a much shorter length of time than in the past.�

�But they still happen.�

Yoko nuzzled him. �Of course. We all have bad days. Don�t hate him for being normal in that sense,� he whispered. After a moment, he smiled and continued, �You should have seen him when we first met�he was always cranky. That was back when he went through a period of abstinence, when we were both still alive. We had formed and alliance of convenience: we didn�t really like each other but we were willing to work together for the sake of thievery. And he was a nightmare: cranky, short-tempered, over-dramatic, restless, lustful, depressed�you name it.�

Suichi shuddered. �Why was he abstaining? What�s the reasoning behind that?�

Yoko sighed again. �Because he hated himself. He hated what he was, hated that he had to hurt to live. And he especially hated that somewhere inside himself, he enjoyed causing that pain. So he figured that because he was still alive and could survive without blood, he wouldn�t drink again until he died.�

�W-what made him start again?�

�I did,� Yoko smiled. �Once I realized I had fallen madly in love with him, I managed to convince him to stop hating himself and accept the fact that he�s a vampire and always will be, whether he indulges in drinking or not,� he looked down at Suichi, smiling gently. �But even though he acts confident now, I know that that self-loathing is still there, and that�s why his mood can suddenly shift. It has nothing to do with you or me; he gets angry because he has no other way to vent his frustration.�

�But, can I trust him?� Suichi mumbled sleepily, snuggling closer to Yoko.

The fox nodded. �You can. He won�t hurt you again, if only because he knows I�d kill him. Especially,� he wrapped his arms more securely around the human�s soft body, �now that you really are mine.�

Suichi smiled and closed his eyes, feeling happy. He slept then, cradled securely in his master�s arms.

�Come on, Yoko, please get up? I know you�re nocturnal, but I can�t let Mother know that! Please? I promise I won�t ever ask you again��

Yoko sat up, growling as the sunlight hit him. He glared at Suichi for a moment, his gaze softening when the boy�s eyes widened in fright. With a cranky whine he stood, kissing the top of Suichi�s head. �Only for you, Suichi�� he muttered.

Suichi smiled and hugged him briefly. He waited for Yoko to rub the sleep from his eyes. �What happens if you do go outside during the day?� he asked.

�Don�t worry, I wouldn�t melt or turn to ash or anything,� the fox laughed. �I�d get a nasty rash and a high fever and that�s about it. Still,� he opened the bedroom door, �it�s an unpleasant feeling and one I�d rather avoid. But if I stay inside I should be fine�� he looked up. �Kuronue� you�re up.�

Kuronue shrugged, looking as tired as Yoko felt. �I figure I�ll catch up later. After all, it�s not my house and I should be polite and follow whatever protocols are adhered to,� he yawned, �even if it means throwing me off my sleep schedule for a few days��

Suichi smiled. �Thank you, Kuronue�� he looked up as Shiori�s bedroom door opened.

�Good mor�oh!� She looked at Kuronue with a start. �You gave me quite a scare��

Her son laughed. �Don�t worry, Mother, he�s with us. Kuronue just�arrived�early this morning, and I didn�t want to wake you then��

Shiori took a deep breath. �That�s alright�I was just startled. So, what would you boys like for breakfast?�

Yoko and Kuronue glanced at each other. The fox licked his lips nervously. �Just some toast or something�please. I�m not much of a�breakfast person��

Kuronue smiled. �Ditto for me.�

Shiori shrugged and went into the kitchen without question. Suichi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Yoko who grimaced.

�Been a while since I�ve eaten anything�� he mused. Kuronue nodded his agreement.

�I think I miss food most�well, that and my soul�� the bat trailed off.

Suichi shook his head. �How could you have lost your soul and still love Yoko so much?�

Yoko laughed. �He�s got a point, Kuro. I never even thought of that�although I think �losing our soul� only means that we lose the part of us that sets our standards for moral behavior. I think that humans came up with the false legend that vampires lose their souls because the original human vampire was an immoral, cruel, heartless, selfish, sadistic bastard.�

Kuronue shook his head, sighing. �That can�t be, because demons say the same thing and we were around long before Vlad the Impaler�s great-great-great grandparents had even been thought up yet.

�But it�s impossible that we�re really lost our souls,� Yoko argued. �Think about it. If we had no soul, we would have no capacity for kindness or generosity or compassion and we know we both have the capacity for all three! Besides, how could we love each other if we have no�� he stopped abruptly as Shiori re-entered with their toast and some coffee for Suichi.

Shiori blinked, only having caught the last part. She looked startled, then embarrassed, and then a little nervous, but then she blinked once more and smiled as if she hadn�t heard anything. �Here you are, boys. Are you sure that�s all you want?�

Both nodded. Kuronue suddenly snorted and muttered to Yoko, �I think that�s something else we�ve lost, Yoko. Shame or embarrassment.�

The fox grinned. �Yeah, probably. But we never had much of that to begin with, so��

�Tell me again, Mother. Why are we doing these dishes by hand?�

Shiori sighed. �Because the dishwasher is broken and it�s too expensive to have to fix it.� The silence was broken only by the running water and an occasional laugh from the living room. Suddenly, Shiori spoke again, taking her son completely by surprise. �Suichi, if Kuronue and Yoko are in love, then why would you sleep with Yoko?�

The plate in Suichi�s hands slipped a few inches. He caught it, flushing a bright red. �M-M-Mother�w-what!?� he stammered, heart racing.

�I�m your mother, Suichi, you can�t hide these things from me,� she explained, looking serious.

Think, Suichi, think! There must be some way out of this! Stupid� I should have known she�d know! And she�d probably know if I try to lie about it, too. Damn�

�Suichi�I�m delighted that you�ve fallen in love, but if Yoko�s having an affair with you��

The redhead�s eyes widened. �N-no, that�s not it�he�s not�it�s a long story,� he finished lamely, avoiding his mother�s gaze.

�Suichi�� Shiori raised an eyebrow.

Suichi was saved by Kuronue, who entered the kitchen at that exact moment. �Don�t worry, Minamino,� he smiled, �Yoko�s not cheating on anybody.� Kuronue winked at the redhead.

Suichi sighed. �If you say so�� she watched Kuronue leave again before remarking, �What a strange young man he is.�

You don�t know the half of it... Suichi nodded his agreement and turned back to washing the dishes. Kuronue, you�re a lifesaver� I must thank him properly later� Suichi put the last of the dishes away and returned to the living room. He smiled. Yoko was drowsing on Kuronue�s shoulder as the bat idly flipped through the television channels. They�re so cute� The human joined them on the sofa. Yoko opened an eye to look over at him, and then at Shiori as the woman left the kitchen.

The fox scowled a little. I wish she would go away for just five minutes so I could get my real breakfast. But she trails Suichi endlessly, although they haven�t seen each other in a little over a year, so I guess it makes sense. But damn, I�m hungry� Yoko closed his heavy eyes, wishing he could go back to bed. He whined irritably as Kuronue started to laugh and jostled him.

Suichi looked at Kuronue, and then at the television. �Kuronue, the news isn�t supposed to be funny, especially when they�re discussing serial killers,� he sighed.

�I know, I know,� Kuronue growled. �But it�s just that�never mind. I�ll tell you later,� he glanced at Shiori, who looked a little confused.

Shiori�s eyes turned to the clock, and she sprang up with a cry of alarm. �I completely forgot! I have a doctor�s appointment and ten, which means I have ten minutes to be on the opposite end of the city!� She grabbed her coat, kissed her son on the cheek, and ran out the door.

Yoko waited until he heard the elevator door close before pulling Suichi to him. �Finally,� he growled. Although he was exceedingly hungry, the fox forced himself to be gentle. Suichi whimpered contentedly in his arms.

It took Yoko a while to slake his thirst, but he finally pulled away. Suichi rested his head on the fox�s muscled chest, feeling sleepy and happy and a little dizzy. Nothing matches this pure joy and warmth�I would never have imagined I could be so happy like this; I let Yoko bite me for Mother�s sake, thinking I was going to be miserable and that just couldn�t be further from the truth. Suichi�s smile widened as Yoko kissed the top of his head

Kuronue couldn�t help but feel a little jealous as he watched his fox from the corner of his eye. He scowled and tried to make the feeling go away, but failed. The arm around Yoko�s shoulders tightened, and the fox lethargically turned to look up at him.

�Kuronue�� Yoko murmured, nuzzling the bat�s shoulder.

Kuronue�s ears picked up the low rumble that began in Yoko�s chest and worked its way up. He smiled, jealously fading. �I�d forgotten you purr like that, Yoko,� he whispered. His smile suddenly vanished and he looked away. �I forgot because I hadn�t heard the sound in so long�and if you purr when you�re happy, then that means you haven�t been happy in at least a century� at least, not while I was around��

Yoko did not deny it. He pushed himself up into a sitting position long enough to kiss his lover before resettling himself in Kuronue�s lap. �But I�m perfectly happy now, Kuronue,� he murmured, �so don�t ruin it with unpleasant reminiscing. Now, can we move somewhere were there�s room for all three of us and where I can go back to sleep for a little?�

Suichi spoke for the first time since his mother had left. �You may use my room if you want,� he suggested.

Yoko hauled himself to his feet and pulled the boy to him, muttering, �You mean, we can use your room. Come on, Suichi. You hardly get any sleep.�

Suichi nodded and followed the two demons into his room. Kuronue pulled Yoko down on the bed with a smirk. Before he went, the fox grabbed Suichi�s arm and dragged him down with him. Suichi laughed and curled up in Yoko�s arms. His master yawned and lay back into Kuronue�s arms.

It didn�t take long for the two nocturnal demons to fall asleep, but Suichi lay awake for a long time, lost in his thoughts. Yoko... where is this going? You act as if you love me, but you�ve never said it, and you tell Kuronue how much you love him at least twice a day�So where does that leave me? Is our relationship just one of wild sex, blood, and cuddling? Because if it is�then I want more than that�

Suichi buried his face in Yoko�s chest and heaved a deep breath. �Yoko� I love you. But you�re�not mine to love��

Yoko smiled as he felt Suichi cuddle up to him. He wasn�t totally asleep, and clearly heard Suichi�s muttered confession. His brow furrowed and he opened one eye. What the hell did that mean?

�Suichi?�

The redhead jumped and looked up at him, blushing.

�What the hell are you talking about? What do you mean, �I�m not yours to love�?�

Suichi looked away. �Well, I mean, you have Kuronue�� he blinked as Yoko began to shake. The redhead looked back up at him and saw that he was laughing.

Yoko hugged Suichi to him, as his laughter died a little. �Suichi� of course I love you! Why would you think otherwise?� he sobered some. �Why would you� Suichi�� Yoko kissed his scion�s head.

Suichi shrugged, now unsure why he had thought otherwise. �I guess�I mean, you�ve never said it, and you tell Kuronue you love him at least twice a day��

Yoko sighed. �That�s because he�s insecure, Suichi. I didn�t think you were��

�You know, I�m awake, Yoko.�

The other two looked up at Kuronue. The bat�s eyes were still closed, but he was smiling. He opened his eyes, and Yoko bit his lip.

The fox rolled over and kissed Kuronue again, purring reassuringly. �What�s the problem, Kuronue? Hmm? What�s wrong?�

Kuronue pulled away from him. �I just�I just can�t help but be a little jealous, Yoko. It�s not your fault. I know you�re a fox, and foxes are somehow capable of loving two people at the same time with an equal amount of emotion, but I feel like I�m somehow not as important anymore�like I don�t matter as much. I know I�m insecure, but damn, if anything were to ever happen to you, Yoko�� Kuronue could feel darkness tickling the back of his mind.

The fox�s eyes widened and he wrapped his arms around Kuronue�s waist. �Kuronue� you mean everything to me. You both do.�

�But how, Yoko? That�s what I don�t understand? How can two people both mean everything? It doesn�t make sense!�

Yoko could not answer, because he didn�t know himself. �I�I don�t know, Kuronue. I can understand that you�re jealous; I�d be kind of upset if you weren�t. But, Kuronue�I�ll always love you! I convinced you to bite me solely because I was so madly in love with you that seeing you suffer the way you were was painful for me to watch! And nothing�s changed. And nothing will change another five hundred years from now, either.�

Kuronue rolled away from him, scowling a little. �But obviously you don�t love me enough to not go falling in love with someone else��

The fox growled in irritation and grabbed his shoulder. Yoko pulled Kuronue onto his back and planted his hands on either side of the startled bat�s head. �Kuronue, now you�re just being a drama queen!� he hissed. Kuronue�s eyes narrowed. Yoko knew he was taking a risk; he could sense the bat was on the cusp of a violent mood-swing, but he didn�t really care. �Stop being stupid! You know I love you! Fox demons aren�t programmed for long-term relationships: we don�t like being tied down! I�ve told you that! And I sacrificed my freedom for you; I went against every instinct in my body, to devote myself to you for the rest of eternity, Kuronue! How can you possibly think I don�t love you with every cell in my body!? Stop blaming me for your own insecurities!�

For a moment, Kuronue merely looked furious, and Yoko wondered if he had gone too far. But then the bat closed his eyes and pulled his trembling scion down onto his chest. �Y-You�re right, Yoko. I�m sorry. I know it�s your nature, and I know you love me� maybe I am just looking for a reason to feel even sorrier for myself��

Both demons turned to look at Suichi as the previously quiet human began to giggle. �I�m sorry,� he said, �but you�re both drama queens!�

Yoko glared playfully at him. �Look who�s talking, Mr. �You�re-not-mine-to-love�! You were the one creating an angsty situation where there wasn�t any!�

Suichi flushed and looked away. �I guess we�re all a bit over-dramatic��

Kuronue pulled both of them to him. �Of course we are,� he growled, �we�re vampires.�
