KOTANI'S APARTMENT

---

A large sliding door allows entrance into the modern apartment, to the left of the front door is a sleek metal kitchen, fitted with all the latest appliances, straight ahead is a large living area, large leather sofas and wide screen tv complete with a playstation 3 and X-box 360. To the left of the living area is the bedroom, surrounded not by walls but modren glass blocks, the bed is risen slightly off the ground pillows scattered across it, if you were to follow into the bedroom to the left is the bathroom, a tall shower with a bath sunken into the ground would be there to greet you.

Kotani stood in the kitchen, the tv on a random channel, more for background sound than to watch anything. He hummed slightly to himself as he threw spices into the curry he was making for his dinner. He stopped hearing a knock on the door, he put down his cooking untensils and went to open it, surprised at who stood on the other side.

A sneer was on the hyena's face, his ears laying back against his blonde locks. "Can I come in, thanks." He muttered, sliding past the blue-haired male. He cooed softly as he looked around the apartment, his heart literally skipping a beat. He jaw was slightly ajar as his eyes caught sight of the game stations and the wide screen tv. His gaze drifted into the kitchen, the metalic color cathcing his eye, his tail flicking slowly, obviously either too shocked to wag faster of it being the thing to remember that this man was infact the male who had hurt Arlian in such a way.

Kotani shut slid the door shut and folded his arms across his chest "Nice place isn't it?" Kotani went back to the kitchen and stirred his food "Sorry - I dont remember your name from before"

He meeped quietly as if he were a fangirl meeting her recent obsession, his feet finally guiding his body to explore the rooms. He could feel the giddy smile on his face and knew not how to force it down in such a place as this. His eyes wodened as he saw the bedroom, the walls bringing back many memories as he was obliged to instal such glass many times, but never for walls. He came back out of the room to Kotani's voice, his tail slowly flicking still. "Chipetsua..." His name was a bit slurred as he said it.

"Ah yes...and what do i owe the pleasure for this visit? something wrong wtih your boots?"

"N-no..." He said, shaking his head. After a moment of thinking he remembered why he had come here in the first place. "I need to vent and you seem to be the only person who I actually hate before knowing."

Kotani raised an eye-brow at him, shaking a bit of his hair away from his face "Will this be quick or will you be staying for dinner?"

"It would be rude if I objected to the filling of your empty stomach. I can vent when you are finished with your meal." He muttered, flicking his wrist as he ploppedh imself down onto the leather sofa, a low growl coming to his throat as his hand dragged along the soft leather. "Tch. Pathetic humans and there killing or animals for mere acssessories.."

"If you don't like it you don't have to sit on it" Kotani narrowed his eyes at him "Now please vent away this might take me a while to cook....is Arlian annoying you already?"

"Aw, but I do not wish to ruin your meal by breaking your jaw." He muttered, his eyes rolling slightly as he leaned back against the couch. He outspread his arms along the cushioned laeather, his head falling back against the back of the couch as his leg pulled up to rest on the opposite knee.

Kotani smiled and shook his head "I get it...you didn't like the way I gave Arlian my number did you? Or maybe you didn't like that I got to him first? Or it's becuase he still likes me"

"True, that all irks me just the same, but that is not nearly irksome as the fact that you hurt Arlian, player." He muttered.

"How am I a player? I was never with Arlian - besides he was only good for one thing, you should know that"

His head lifted to look up at the male in the kitchen. "I hope you are not really implying what I think you are implying." He bit back a growl.

"What else did you think I kept him here for?" Kotani went over to the fridge and took out some peppers and began to slice them up.

"You kept him to pleasure yourself, how selfish." He mumbled, his head laying back against the couch once more. His tail began to flick behind his back iritably, his eyes shutting.

Kotani shook his head "He loved it" he turned back putting the remainders of the peppers into the fridge and put the rest in his curry "Now then, have you quite finished?"

"And no, I would not know because we have done nothing." His ears flicked, a small grin coming to his lips. "I have not vented yet."

"Done nothing? He really must be annoying you then...hes the most boring person ever..."

"Done nothing because I actually respect him. He is not annoying nor boring, he is sweet and loving.. Something you obviously would not know since all you did was use him."

"He didn't have to stay here did he?" He left his food to simmer on the oven and made his way into the bedroom, he came out a second later with a pink bag "This is his stuff..."

"He stayed here because he thought you loved him." He hissed, opening his eyes and looking over at him. "I ain't leaving till I vent."

"I loved having him, not him as the person" He went back over to the oven and took the curry off the heat pouring it into a bowl.

"You loved having sex with him when you could find nobody else." He corrected lightly, jumping slightly as his phone vibrated against his thigh. He sighed softly and reached down into his pocket, pulling out the silver device. He looked at the caller ID, groaning lightly. "Khan..." He moaned out. One of the only bosses that he actually feared and never turned down. When he did not answer the ringtone sounded for a voicemail notice. He shoved the phone bck into his pocekt and placed his arms back against the leather couch.

"Was that Arlian wondering where you are?" He went over to the glass dining room table and sat, eating his meal.

"Arlian knows where I am." He answered, readjusting himself on the couch so that his head was on the arn of the couch and his legs were covering the seat cushions, his feet placed against the other arm of the couch.

"Im surprised he didnt tag along, bet all three of us could have had some fun"

He grumbled to himself and folded down against his head, his jaw clenching together iritably. "Hush."

"Look can you just leave please?" Kotani stood up going over tothe door and opening it, gesturing for Chipetsua to leave.

"Tch." He muttered, turning onto his side so that his face was burried into the black cushion of the couch.

"OR I can call Arlian and invite him over here?"

"If you wish, but if you so much as raise your voice to him I will make sure you will only be able to eat but through a straw." Chipetsua said, his tail flicking slightly.

Kotani closed the door and went into his bedroom, he got out his mobile phone and started dialing, he whispered into the phone as Arlian answered it, he came out of the room a couple of minutes later and smiled at Chipetsua "I didnt even tell him you were here and he said he would be right over...some loyal boyfriend you have there"

"He is not limited to visiting 'friend's' houses, or past lovers for that matter. I'm not the jealous type." He muttered.

"Well you wouldnt be if you havent even fucked him yet" Kotani made his way back to his dinner.

"You act like it's a bad thing we have not had sex yet." He said with a shrug, hsi attention being distracted from the vibrating of his phone, reminding him that he had a voice mail unanswered still.

"Of course it's a bad thing, you're missing out" Hw laighed slightly as he finsihed the last mouthful of his dinner, he took the plate oer to the sink and put it into the dishwasher "He's really good once he get's going...he used to always want it, you must be doing something wrong"

"Be that as it may, I'm not just gonna give myself up to just anybody I met only a few days before. I'm not a whore, you know. I do have my limits."

"Thats not how you look" Kotani leaned back on the worktop.

"Whassat supposed to mean?" He questioned, looking up so that he was staring at Kotani.

Kotani shrugged "Well...look at you...you hardly look innocent"

"I'm still a virgin." He pointed out, poking at the air softly before nuzzling his head back into the leather.

Kotani shook his head slightly "poor you then...i hope Arlian is good enough for you...but seriously now, if Arlian isnt here in five minutes then please leave"

Arlian made his way through neontopia before stopping near Kotani's apartment, he got his phone out and started calling Chipetsua

"I hope I am good enough for him... Well, since you are done eating I can start venting." He muttered, pushing himself up from the couch and stretching out his body. He started making his way over to Kotani as his phone started to ring. He groaned lightly, pulling the phone out. "Oh!" He purred out when he saw who it was. He flipped the phone open and answered it. "Hello!"

"hi" Arlian smiled at the sound of the voice on the other end "Kotani called me...are you already there?"

"Indeed, are you almost here? Heh, he's trying to force me out." He said in amusment, his tail wagging.

"Ummhmm I'm coming up now...like right near the door, see you in a minute" He blew a kiss into the phone as he knocked on the door

Kotani looked at chipetsua "I take it thats him?"

Chipetsua shut the phone and slid it into his pocket, nodding curtly as he headed to the door and opening it. "Did you see Saki?" He asked, smiling softly.

Arlian smiled at him "No...I thought i should leave him and Danshouku alone" He lowered his voice as he peered into the door "What have you done to him?"

"Well, nothing yet. Right when I was going to start venting you called." He pointed out, poking the human's forehead. "Come in."

arlian rubbed his forehead slighlty and went into his ex-lovers home, he looked around, memories flooding back to him.

Kotani smiled at Arlian "I was just telling your lover here all about our sex life"

"Yes, and I was tellign him about our no sex life." Chipetsua said, walking behind Arlian and wrapping his arms around him and placing his head on his shoulder after he shut the door.

Arlian looked down slightly "Can we have my stuff please?" He shuffled his feet slightly.

Kotani approached them and gently caressed Arlian's cheek "I have already given them to your boyfriend"

Chipetsua smacked the hand away. "Yes, it's right over there by the couch, Arlian. Do we have to leave before I vent, though?" He asked in his childlike innocent voice, nuzzling his cheek against the soft neck of Arlian's.

Arlian looked at Kotani "Vent all you like" he walked over to the sofa and picked up his pink bag.

He let out a slight squeal of excitement, making a beeline over to Kotani and gripping the shirt that adorned his chest. "Thank you Arlian!" He murred out.

Kotani scowled at Chipetsua "I dont know why you are so angry - i took him in off the streets!"

"As I heard, which is why I'm going to be leniant and not pull a blade." Hyena ears perked forward as he heard himself say this, the blade pressing firmly against his ankle from the inside of his boot, the strap holding it in place.

Arlian clutched the bag close to his chest and put his hand on Chipetsuas arm "Let's go? He's not worth it" He looked Kotani up and down.

"I need to vent man!" He said, turning his head to look at Arlian, a slight smile on his face. "Three hits?" He asked softly.

Arlian shrugged "Do what you like".

Kotani pulled away from Chipetsua and grabbed Arlian "You little shit - I did everything for you now your setting him on me?!"

Chipetsua smacked his elbow up into Kotani's jaw and growled, the hair on his neck standing on end. "He didn't!"

Kotani pulled his hand up to his face and rubbed it "just get out of here or I will hurt him" He pointed to Arlian.

He held up his two front fingers and wiggled them, his ears laying back against his head. "Two more."

Arlian pulled at his arm again heading towards the door "No, please, lets go"

"Nnnn..." He whimpered out, his ears perking as he was pulled towarfs the door. "B-but.. but but but.. You said I could!"

Arlian looked at him and back to Kotani he shrugged "Do whatever" He opened the door and made his way out.

"A... Arlian, wait!" He called out, hesitating a moment to glance at Kotani before running out after the human male.

Kotani slammed the door behind them, locking it wuickly.
