Arlian smiled at the taller male "Well" He gestured slightly to the shops and food stops "Where you wanna go first?"

"Let's go to... hm... let's go to GameStop." He said, his tail wagging. "I wanna get a few games and an XBox 360 for my room."

"ok" Arlian smiled at Chipusea's excitent

He sqweed happily and took off in a slow run, staying slow so Arlian did not lose him, easily dodging past some women and men.

Arlian quicked his pace, grabbing Chipuetsas arm so not to loose him

Chipetsua grinned happily and looked around, his ears perking slightly as he turned a sharp left around the sort of intersection of the mall.

"Why so fast?" Arlian muttered as he clung onto the taller male.

"Well, for one, you need the exercise and for two, if they are likely to have a 360 it will be cheap and thus the longer we are the more likely it could be bought by somebody else." Explain Chipetsua, coming to a complete stop making Arlian almost bump into him. He saw a carousel and was completely smily about it.

"Whwta do you mean I need exercise?!" He snapped as he ran into the back of Chipetsua.

"I'm only kidding, don't blow a vessel." Chipetsua said simply, patting his head. "We're definately getting on when we come back...right>" He asked, turning his head to look over his shoulder and down at Arlian.

"Of course we can!" Arlian smiled slightly, looking at the carousel.

"Alright then, let's go!" Chipetusa said happily, placing his hand over arlian's as it held his arm. He made a straight line for the Game store and walked in, immeidately looking around for any 360 left on the self.

Arlian looked aorund the games shop, heading voer to the playstation two games, watching Chipetusa out the corner of his eye as he looked around excitedly.

"Ah! They have one!" He called back to Arlian, hurriedly grabbing it from the shelf. he hugged it to his chest and wagged his tail, his fangs popping out over his lower lip. He turned his head and looked for a few games, mainly only keeping an eye for Halo 3 and guitar heroes. When he found Guitar heroes he grinned and grabbed it, knowing that he would get the Guitar from the worker. "You want something from here, Arlian?" He asked, his tail still wagging as he set the game station on the counter along with the case for Halo 3.

"Arlian put a game down that he was looking at "No thanks, thats gonna cost you loads!" He exclaimed as he looked at what Chipetusa had put on the till.

"It's not so much. I really do have enough if you want to get a game." Chipetsua pulled out his wallet and took out his credit card.

Arlian smiled "It's ok, I don't play my playstation much..."

"Alright." He handed the card to the cashier, taking it back once he was done with it. He took the bagged 360 and game. He took the guitar he was handed and turned to Arlian. "Carousel time!" He said loudly.

Arlian laughed "Come on then" He linked his arm around Chipetusa's and wlaked out the shop.

Once they got to the carousel Chipetsua bought a couple of tickets for the both of them. He held tight to Arlian's arm with his own and walked into the gate, giving the worker the two tickets. "Choose your beast."

Arlian looked at the carousel and let out a slight squeal when he noticed a pink horse, he pointed to it and smiled.

Chipetsua nodded and lead him over to it, releasing his arm once he was at his horse. He walked around the pink horse and sat on the lion next to him, a small smirk on his lips. So, tghis is what it feels like to dominate a lion... He though, extending his hand out ot Arlian encase he needed dome help up onto the horse.

Arlian took his hand and climbed up onto the horse "It matches my hair perfectly" he smiled down at him.

"Why, will you look at that. It does indeed." Chipetsua grinned and looked at his hair, then to the horse. He almostg squealed when the ride sarted up.

"I've never seen anyone so excited before" arlian laughed as he held on slightly tigther to the horse.

He gave a nervous smile and looked down slightly, gripping his bag a bit tighter. "I like carousels."

"I've never been on one before..."

"You haven't? Well, yo can never say that anymore." Chipetsua pointed out, poking the air gently. He smiled lightly and measured up the noses of the horse and the lion, grinning to himself. "I'm winning!"

"Well, not much i can do about that is there?" Arlian laughed as he looked around, seeing the faces watching the carousel as they went past.

"I know!" Chipetsua said, ginning more. "The simple pleasures of a carousel." He whimpered when the machine began to slow, threatening that the carousel was stopping.

Arlian looked at him and smiled "You're really sweet y'know..."

He blushed lightly and placed his feet on the ground of the carousel instead of keeping them in the footholds on the saddle of the lion. "Thank you, Arlian. You're sweet too."

Arlian looked down slightly "Aww It's finished" He looked back at him.

Chipetsua pushed himself up from the lion and readjusted the bag in his hand. "It's alright, Arlian. Come on, where do you want to go?"

Arlain climbed off of the horse and got off the ride "wherever you wanna go"

"Wanna go to a clothikng store? I need a new pair of boots." Chipetsau said with a nod, jumping off of the metal floor and walked out of the small black gate.

Arlian laughed a little "Couldnt find any boots out of all the stuff Saki had?" he linked arms with him again "COme on then choose a shop"

"I found a pair, but they weren't exaxtly the kind I wanted. besides, there was a pair in this store that I really liked." He nodded and lead him down towards many of the clothing stores.

"Oh...ok" Arlian smiled and went with Chipetsua.

He stopped infront of the Kotani Clothing store, smiling lightly. "Have you ever shopped here before?"

Arlian looked at the name and frowned slightly "Nope...loooks new!"

"There is one in the mall in avalar, pretty cool place. Come on." He said, heading into the store.

---

"Thankyou..." arlian sighed and brushed some more tears away from his eyes.

Chipetsua nodded and hugged him once more. "Don't worry about it, Arlian." He ran his thumb under the shorter male's eye and began to walk in the direction he smelled the food court.

Arlian sniffed and cleared his throat as he followed Chipetsua, looking behind him back at the shop.

"Don't worry about him, Arlian... It's best to forget people like him.. He seemed to upset you, and that's enough to make me not like him." he sighed quietly. "Are you gonna be alright?"

"Yeah, it's just...I didin't think I would ever see him again...brings back memories y'know...but thanks for sticking up for me, not many poeple would do that"

Chipetsua frowned faintly and looked forward once more, readjusting the bags in his fingers. "Cause a lot of people are jerks."

Arlian held onto Chipetsuas arm "I know they are..."

"What do you want to eat, I mean, you should choose..." Chipetsua said.

Arlian shrugged "Pizza?"

"Sounds good." He stopped for a moment and took in all the smells, looking around the food court and wagging his tail. When he saw a pizza stop he smiled, quickly turning and heading towards it with Arlian.

They entered the Pizza place and Arlian looked around, searching for a table, there was a small table in the corner, he smiled and lead Chipetsua towards it.

Chipetsua pulled Arlian's seat out for him, pushing it in for him once he sat down. He walked around the small table and sitting himself down. When a waitress came by she smiled at them and pulled out a notepad and a pen.

"What can I get you two to drink?" She asked.

"I'll have a mountain dew, miss. And you, Arlian?"

"Um cola please" Arlian looked at the waitress, she left and he drew his attention back to chipetsua.

Chipetsua pulled out a lighter and the piece of paper from his pocket, grabbing the glass ashtray from the side of the table. He lit the piece of paper and dropped it into the glass tray, looking down at it and watching it burn. "Was that your ex?"

Arlian watched the smoke twirl into the air "I guess you could call him that..."

"What all do you have at his house? I could go get it for you tonight if you'd like." He offered, waving the smoke away from hisd nose.

Arlian looked down "Just some clothes and stuff...you don't have to go y'know, besides, you need to get back to you're room and play on that xbox"

Chipetsua gave him a skeptic look and poked his forhead gently. "You mean fold my clothes, huh?" He asked, smiling slightly and perking one eyebrow.

"Well y'know" he laughed "There's no harm in folding your clothes why you play games is there?"

"When you need both your hands there is, yes. How about, you play the game, I fold clothes and watch you..?" He said gently, only turning his head when the waitress came back with their drinks and a couple straws. "Ah, arlian, you chose the type of toppings."

"Erm...chicken, mushrooms and....ham?" He looked to Chipetsua.

He shrugged and added. "Large." He watched the waitress leave. "Anything meat, and mushrooms aren't so bad." He said with a shrug.

"Anyway..." Arlian looked back at the waitress as she put their order through to the kitchen "Pleased with your boots?"

"Yes, pleased with this whole trip thus far.. well, except for him..." He said with a small nod, pushing the bags under his chair more with his foot.

"I never knew he ran a clothing store...shows how much I really knew about him I guess..." He took a sip from his drink.

"How much did you know about him, dear?" He asked, pulling his pop up to his lips and taking a drink through the straw.

"Er...dear?" he laughed a little "Considering I lived with him for a few months not a great deal...guess I was a bit of an idiot really"

"Eh.. Sorry, just habitual speaking, I suppose." He said, placing his drink back down on the table and grabbing the wrapper of the straw. he held it between his fingers and began to fiddle with it. "Yes, perhaps you were an idiot, but I doubt you are now."

Arlian shrugged "He was nice at the time, I guess I was just niave...besides im a model now i can do better than him" he laughed.

"Arlian, listen. I know I may have just met you today, but I'm pretty sure you could've done netter than him when you had him in your grasp. That may just be my opinion, or whatever, but I kind of think it's a right assumption." He covered his mouth and let out a low yawn, his ears drooping slightly.

"He was the first person to ever show me attention...I wanted to be with someone, to be looked after, I never had a family...so it was nice."

"Yeah... Kikano said that same thing once a while back, that he just wanted someone he could lean on when he needed it. I may not know the feeling all to well myself, but I do know it, I can tell you that whenever you feel like that again you have me." Hyena cleared his throat and dropped the paper into the ash filled ashtray.

"Thankyou...." He smiled "So, where do you think Kikano is?"

"I... don't know..." He tapped his index finger against the table gently and stared down with half lidded eyes, his smile fading slightly, but not too much to notice.

"Sorry...I didnt mean to y'know..." He took one of Chipetsua's hands "He will turn up" he grinned.

He shook his head gently and looked at Arlian. "You didn't, Arlian." He gripped his hand a bit and smiled. "thanks for that."

Arlian blushed slightly ad the waitress bought over their pizza, she put it down on the tabel with a smile and wandered off again.

Chipetsua released his hand and smiled happily. "Yummy!" He grabbed one of the two plates that she had brought to them. He grabbed a couple pieces and set them on the plate, his tail wagging. He ate some of his pizza, murring gently.

Arlian took a bit of the pizza and put it on his plate before picking it up again and taking a bite "umm...its nice"

"It's delicious when you haven't eaten all day." Chipetsua corrected gently, smiling graciously.

"Saki will kill us when we dont go back" Arlian muttered taking another bite of the pizza.

"Eh, he didn't serve up the dinner when we were there, so we got some for ourselves." He said with a shrug, taking his last bite up to his crust.

Arlian finished his piece of pizza, leaving the crust on the plate, he sat back slightly and took a sip of his drink.

"You're done?" He asked, eating his crust and pixking up his second piece after he took a drink from his mountain dew.

"Ermmm...." Arlian pondered for a moment "Nope" He grinned taking another piece "I never eat much but this is just too good!"

Chipetsua laughed and took another large bite of his pizza, chewing it and swallowing it. "You're a goof."

Arlian lookes slightly offended "How am i a goof?" He grinned taking anotehr bite.

"Cause you callone slice of pizza a lot. You must have a stomach the size of a grain of rice." He teased, taking bites of his pizza.

Arlian patted his stomach lightly "Im only small!"

"Well, what people lack in height they makew up for in..." He coughed and blushed faintly. "Attitude..." He finally added, putting his pizza into his mouth to keep him from saying anymore.

Arlian raised an eyebrow at him "Hmm...." he finished his second bit of pizza "Well, thats enough for me..."

Chipetsua smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I'm done for now, too. I'll eat some more later." He waved the waitress over. When she came over he smiled. "Can we have a box?" she nodded and walked away. "So, how do you suppose Saki and bunny boy is doing?"

Arlian rolled his eyes slightly "Probably taking naked pictures of each other" He smiled as the waitres bought them back a box and put the remainder of the pizza into it, she also left the bill on a small tray.

Chipetsua shook his head and groaned, pushing himself up from his seat. "That's a mental picture I could've gone without seeing..." He grabbed his bags from under the chair and grabbed the bill as well. "Do you mind holding the pizza for a bit?"

"nope" arlian picked up the box "I will give you some money for that when we get back ok?"

"You don't havwe to." He saidheading up to the front counter of the shop. He placed the bill on the surface of it and pulled out his wallet, handing him his credit card. When he was done with it, the hyena took it back and placed it back in his wallet, heading out of the door, holding it open for Arlian.

"Thanks" Arlian left the pizza place "But really Im ognna give you some money seeing as you paid for the taxi aswell"

"It's no problem, really." chipetsua let the door shut behind him and draped his arm over Arlian's shoulders.

Arlian snuggled against him slightly, he felt safe around him.

He tightened his grip slightly and lead him back to the entrance of the mall. ""You wanna play the game when we get back?"

"What game did you get?"

"Guitar Heroes 3 and Dead or Alive 4. I have two controllers, too." He said with a smile, looking down at him.

"Yeah sure - but I'm terrible at things like that" He giggled slightly "We gonna get a taxi back or walk?" It was now dark out, the sky had gone quite cloudy - as if it was going to snow.

Opening the doors for both of them each time, Chipetsua looked up into the sky and shook his head. "I'm not gonna risk you getting sick.. Saki would kill me if I got one of his models sick with the flu. We'll take a taxi."

Arlian screwed up his nose a bit as they walked outside at the sudden cold weather "Alright then" He snuggled to him closer.

"Are you cold?" He asked, whistling for a taxi with two fingers.

"Yeah, a little" He pulled his hands into his sleeves.

Chipetsua removed his arm from the smaller male's shoulder and slipped his coat off, transfering his bags from hand to hand so he did not have to set them down. He laid it gently over his shoulders and wrapped his arm around him again. He looked up and down the street for a taxi to stop, quirking a brow slightly as they just kept driving with their passengers. Oh come on... When he saw an empty one her whistled once more, it stopping quickly. "Come on."

"Thanks" Arlian wrapped the coat around him tightly and got into the taxi, he smiled as Chipetsua also got in, e nudged acorss the seats to sit closer to him.

He set the bags on the ground and held Arlian close. "To Muixen, thanks." He said to the taxi driver, laying his head against the pink hair on Arlian's head.

Arlian wrapped his arm around Chipetsua and closed his eyes, nuzzling his head agsint the other males.

Chipetsua found himself dozing off a bit, his eyes half-lidded as he stared forward. When they reached Muixen he was brought to his senses by a rough shake of the taxi driver. He frowned slightly and lifted his head, opening the door after handing him a few twenties. He pulled his arm from Arlian as he got out of the car, grabbing his bags and the pizza in one arm and holding out his other hand to help Arlian out.

Arlian mujmbled thanks to the Taxi driver and got out of the taxi, with Chipetsua they made their way back into Muixen.

---

Arlian parked just outside the mall and walked into the big glass building. He looked around at the various shops before going into a small clothing store.

Asa let out a yawn into the air and rubbed the back of his head, his red eyes shooting from one person to the next, examining every pore on their body, every strand of hair, every child and every parent. With a low grunt and a casual roll of the eyes, the white-haired male turned on his heel and headed off to go look for a suitable person to take his anger out on.

Arlian glanced out of the shop window seeing the Chipetsua like shape person walking past, he quickly ran out of the mall grabbing the males arm "Chip-" He looked at the male "I said buy a dog chew not a makeover...red contacts?"

"Okay, sure." He was rather confused by the sudden outburst and being grabbed, hiding his accent like he so often did since he was often made fun of by it. He was already upset enough without being angered more from small taunts at whatnot.

"The new look will take some getting used to, but still sexy" He giggled "I found these really cute jeans in that shop - wanna help me try them on?" He smiled, his fingers entertwining around the other males.

He smiled a bit form the compliment, but really not enough to be noticed. "Hm. Sure, I don't mind. Lead the way, little one." How he had pipcked someone up already was beyond him. Must be the eyes. People dig the eyes.

Arlian pulled the man into the shop with him and picked up the jeans "Do you like them? See they are not even pink"

"I could care less if they're pink." He said simply, flicking his wrist casually and turning his gaze to look around the store. He'd never bothered comming into clothing stores unless he needed a change of clothing, and obviously he did not. He pulled and black jacket a bit tighter around him and pushed the hood from his head, his white ears hidden under his mass of hair.

Arlian looked down a bit "Are you still mad at me from earlier? I don't really take the fun out of everything do i?"

"Earlier?" He echoed, turning his gaze so that it was back on Arlian. Hm.. What a cutie.. I guess I would not mind taking a bit of anger out on him, pleasure myself in the process.

"Yeah when we were at home...guess it dosen't matter...so, should I try these on?"

"Home." He said under his breath, one brow arching up to hide under his bangs. He shook his head of the thought and pushed Arlian in the direction of the dressing rooms. "I'll help."

Arlian giggled a little as they went into the changing rooms, he went into one of the cubicles and pulled the curtain across "No peeking"

"Aw, but that's no fair." He fingered the cloth of the curtain for a moment before pulling it open and leaning against the wall of the cubicle. "Don't taunt me, it will not end well." A grin came to Asa's face, his red eyes going over Aelian's form slowly as he imprinted his image to memory.

Arlian pulled the male fully in the cubicle and pulled the curtain shut "Fine, I won't taunt you" he pulled his shirt over his head.

Asa ran his hands down the male's no wbared sides and took possession of his lips with his own, kissing him rather aggressively. He ran his hands to the front of the other's pants and unbuttoned the jeans, pushing them down his slender pale legs.

"Umm...Chipetsua you are being rather forward" He smiled, kissing the male back passionatly.

Chipetsua? "You don't seem to mind, now do you?" He asked, breaking the kiss for a moment, quickly connecting thier lips once more. He let out a low growl and broke the kiss once more, trailing his kisses down Arlian's neck. "Remove your briefs."

Arlian raised an eyebrow at him "Has this make-over made you horny?" He asked, his hands lacing through the males hair.

"I said remove them." He growled out, gripping his fingers into Arlian's hips tightly.

Arlians eyes widened slightly "N-no" He stutered, pulling the males hands away from his hips.

He did not let go, however. He pushed his hands away from his arms and gripped his briefs, tearing them off and tossing the shredded unwear to the ground. "No use in trying to stop me, little one." He whispered into his ear, bitting his lobe a bit.

"Chipetsua whatare you doing?!" Arlian exclaimed, trying to grab his clothes from the changing room floor.

"Who's this Chipetsua you speak of? My name is Asa, you runt." He hissed out, pinning his arms to the wall above his head with one arm. He slid his pants and his briefs from his body. "And you ain't going anywhere."

"W-what?" Arlian shook his head slightly "You let me go or I will scream"

"Scream and I'll slice your throat." He pulled a dagger from his coat pocket and held it up to his throat, pressing enough to make him bleed from the razor edge. "Then you will not be able to see your beloved Chipetsua. You would not like that, would you?"

Arlian felt tears roll down his cheeks "N-no" He whispered quietly feeling the blade up against his throat.

Asa ran his tongue along the male's cheek, licking up some of the tears. He grabbed the dagger in his oposite hand, still pinning his arms to the wall, and spit into his fingers. He reached down and ran his hand along Arlian's pale hump, slipping his fingers into his tight hole, loosening him up a bit.

"P-p-please don't" He whimpered quietly as more tears fell from his cheeks.

"You're the one foolish enough to come up to me, someone you did not even know. It's a damn shame when you do not know your own lover's touch, hm? Now, struggle and you are instantly beheaded, don't taunt me." He removed his hand from holding the arms against the wall an dplaced the dagger in his mouth, gripping Arlian's thigh with his free hand and lifting him up and wrapping his leg around his hip. After he loosened Arlian up a bit he pulled his fingers from him and gripped his other leg, pulling it up and around his hip. He lowered the male onto his erect shaft and thrusted into him, growling quietly.

Arlian let out a quiet cry of pain, lightly trying to pull himself away from the otehr male, too frightened to do anything else.

Asa let out a menacing laugh and let his head fall back, amused by the struggling of the boy. "You think you will be able to get away from me?" He asked, bringing his head back once more and leaning forward, licking Arlian's lips. "You won't be able to." He began to thrust into him, a grin on his face.

Arlian pulled his lips away from the man and spat in his face, tears still rolling down his cheeks as he tried to pull away from the male with more force.

"Normally I would slice someone's throat for that, but I like your spunk. You're cute, and I am a fan of the pink hair, sweetheart." He wiped his face on Arlian's chest, happy to get the liquid from his face.

"Just....you wait, when Chipetsua finsd out" He began crying, the tears rolling more consitently down his face.

"Calm yourself down. God you're a whiny little brat." He muttered, releasing Arlian's thigh and choking Arlian up, pressing his head back against the wall and squeezing his small throat.

Arlian let out a slight wheeze, trying to catch his breath as his whole body began to tremble with fear.

Readjusting the blade in his hand, Asa drug it along Arlian's thigh as his hand repositioned itself, a grin coming back to his face.

Arlian let out another cry of pain, only this time louder "what do you want?" he sobbed.

"Be quiet, you little brat!" He snarled out.

Arlian dropped his head determined not to look at the male any longer, he figured if he shut up it would be over quicker.

"Aw, are you gonna fall asleep on me? That's not very polite, runt." He snorted, quickening his thrusts a bit.

Arlian kept his head down letting out a few painful moands when Asa's thurts were too violent.

"Ah, you're no fun." He sighed out, pulling out of him and letting him drop to the ground, muttering something in his German tongue and licking the blood from his blade. "Maybe I should just kick your ass.. At least that will bring me some amusement."

On the floor Arlian saw his phone falling out of his pants pocket, making sure the other male didnt notice he pressed to dial Chipetsua's number.

Hearing the beeping from the buttons being pressed, Asa turned around and glared down at him, pulling his lips back in a growl. "Who're you calling there, little one?"

Arlain looked up at him, the phone still clenched tight in his hand as he pressed to call Chipetsua, not thinking of the consequences.

He snarled quietly and crouched himself down, flipping the dagger around and sending it into Arlian's bicep, only stopping when he felt the bone stop it. He growled a bit and grabbed the boy around the throat, lifting him up from the ground and holding him against the wall. "Who are you calling?" He growled out once more.

Arlian let out a cry of pain and gribbed his already bleeding arm tightly, his grip still firm on the phone as it began to ring Chipetsua.

Asa tilted his head a bit and looked at the phone, reaching for it with his free hand. He grabbed Arlian's hand and tilted it a bit so he could see who he was calling, and when he saw the name on the screen he simple smiled.

"Why are you doing this to me?" Arlian whimpered as the man grabbed his hand that was now covered in blood.

"If I do remember correctly, you are the one who came up to me." He sneered, his grin never leaving his face until he heard the muffled voice coming from the phone. He looked at the phone once more and quirked a brow. "Hm? He sounds concerned for you, little one."

Arlian held is breath upon hearing Chipetsua's voice, he looked at his phone then back to the male hesitantly.

Brows pulling together in a slight scowl from the French tongued threat, which he actually understood, he discarded Arlian to the floor, but kept his hand, and began to try tp pry the phone from his fingers.

"no!" He cried out "Chipetsua help!" He sobbed as he felt the phone slip from his bloody fingers.

Asa dropped the phone on the ground and smashed it with his foot, growling slightly. "Can't have any interruptions, can we little one?" He bent over and pulled his briefs and pants back up and buckled the belt about his waist, crouching down next to Arlian. He placed a hand on his face and wiped up a few tears and some beads of sweat, letting out a slight cooing sound. "Aw, how lovely you look when you are scared."

Arlian smacked his hand away "Dont touch me"

"Still so feisty. Mm.. I knew you look promising." Asa ran his fingers through Arlian's hair. "So petite, so young, so cute."

Chipetsua landed and rushed into the doors of the mall, looking around frantically for any forming group of people that may signal where Arlian was. When he did not find anything he began to sniff the air for Arlian's scent. When he caught it he began to run in the direction of the store, knocking people down without care as he did so. "Arlian!"

Still clutching his heavily bleeding arm Arlian began to cry quietly as Asa ran his fingers through his hair "please let me go" he begged, just wanting to be away from the male, so aware of his nakedness.

Asa turned his head when he heard the crying of that same voice a few meters outside of the store. He pushed himself up and looked down at Arlian, spitting on him before turning and leaving out of the cubical, deliberately leaving the curtain open for anyone to see into it. He walked casually out of the store, licking at a bit of blood on his fingers.

Chipetsua slowed a bit when he saw the male that looked like him leave, his brows pulling together in a thoughtful expression. He shook his head and looked into the store, following the scent of blood, sweat, tears and his Arlian. He found himself in the dressing room, and when he saw the cubicle with Arlian in it he instantly went a ghost pale. "Arlian..." He whispered out, walking into the dressing room and kneeling down beside beloved's body. He ran his hand across Arlian's face, instantly being drawn to tears from the sight.

"Chipetsua!" Arlian cried as he burried his head into his lovers chest, not caring who saw them now "you came..." He sobbed.

"Of course I did.. Arlian.. Who did this?" He asked, holding Arlian close to his for, his hands clenched into fists against his back. "Nevermind.. I've gotta get you out of here." He pulled one arm away from Arlian's back and grabbed his clothes, draping them around his own neck after removing his jacket. He covered Arlian up with the jacket, wrapping it around his naked form snuggly, and picked him up in his arms. "I'm gonna take you to the hospital, okay?" He asked in a gentle voice, rubbing Arlian's bloodied arm softly as he walked him out of the cubicle.

"no" Arlian whimpered "please...lets just go home"

"Arlian, please.. I'm taking you to the hospital.. Don't argue with me, okay? Just.. close your eyes and rest for a little bit.. You'll feel better soon." He exited out of the dressing room, getting a few gaping stares from the employees and shoppers to which he did not notice much. He pushed past the crowd forming around the store from the sight of Arlian's bloodied and naked form, instantly getting a few deathly glares from people who thoguth it was he who had done it. Chipetsua sighed and grabbed the dagger that still was embedded into his arm. "This will hurt, I'm sorry." He pulled the blade from his arm and winced a bit when he saw more blood begin to drip from the wound.

Arlian cried more as the dagger was pulled from his arm "He...lookedl ike you" he sobbed into Chipetsua's chest.

His ears flicked from the information just given to him, his gaze moving from Arlian to search the group of people. "I saw him.. but... Ah, forget about it for now.. I'll deal with that later." He shoved a man out of the way with his shoulder and exited the group of people, making his way to the door with Arlian's in his arms. "I'm sorry... I should not have let you come here alone.."

"It...it was my fault...I approached him...Im so sorry CHipetsua"

"Ssh.. Rest, Arlian.. We can talk later." He pushed his back against the door and walked out of the mall, spreading his blood soaked wings and lifting off into the air.

Arlian held closer to Chipetsua, just wanting to go back to that morning when everything was ok.

---

Rowa took Rions hand as they entered into the mall.

Rion blushed slightly as the other male took his hand. "So, where do you want to go?"

"Um, I really dont know..." Rowa shrugged looking around the building.

"Why don't you look for an outfit or something? I'll buy it for you if you like it.." Rion offered, pointing to a clothing store.

"Oh no, I wouldnt feel comfortable with you buying me clothes, such expense is unnessecary"

"It's not a problem seriously, C'mon pick a store..." Rion insisted.

"No, Im serious, I Dont need you to spend any money on me"

"I know you don't need me too, but I want too..." Rion muttered, sighing softly. "But if your this adamant about not letting me get you anything, you should atleast try some outfits out..."
