"oh, gross. Just gross." Alex teased, getting up out of the floor, he walked past them, hitting james in the back of the head and sat down on the couch. "Little brother...You didn't sleep here last night." he noted, being an expert at that kind od thing.

He laid back and spread his arms out, "Did James do a no-no in the bedroom last night?" He asked, a bemused tone in his voice. "Shut up Alex! Its not like that!" James yelled, turning red again. "I know." Alex said, his eyes closed. "You have "Virgen" written across your forehead." He said with a straight face.

"Im out of here!" Raged, storming past the couch to the window. "This is my apartment!" He suddenly realized. "Our... apartment." Alex corrected, a slight smirk on his lips. "I hate you, do you know that? hate you." "Little brother.... hate is such a big word..." Alex said, his eyes still closed and arms splayed out over the bed. "No its not." James countered. "Its only three letters away from love." Alex said, amused again. "Thats a lot of letters." James argued.

"Whats wrong with her?" Alex asked, sitting stalk straight up on the bed and looking down at Tsumai. James rushed to her side and moved her hair out of the way. The curse mark on the back of her neck was 'blinking' a red-orange color. "Alex, be on the lookout." James warned, looking up at him.

Alex was an easy going prankster, but you can be serious faster then you can "oops". Alex stood in the middle of the room and pulled a kunai from his pouch. "Look for what?" He asked, looking at the windows and doors. "Orochimaru, that guy that follows him around, or Akatski members." James briefed him quickly.

"Tsumai? Tsumai, can you hear me?" James asked, worried.

James scooped Tsumai up in his arms, if Kabuto wanted her he would have to go through him first. "Alex! Four-eyes! 12 o'clock!" He shouted, jumping back from him. "Tsumai's curse mark is activating!" James explained to Kakashi.

Alex threw three kunia faster than he could bl
ink at Kabuto, not aiming for anything in particular and knowing that aiming was useless in this situation.

(( couple of hours later? ))

James looked up from the floor, having hid his face. Alex was pacing slightly, deep in thought and the messpreviously caused was cleaned. James jumped up and hugged Tsumai, releave flooding over him instantly. "*censored* Tsumai! I thought I'd lost you! When Kakashi grabbed you and left I..." He trained off.

Alex, returning from Neverland, finished for him. "He freaked out. Told you Kakashi could handle it, he's the best." Alex said, putting a haand on his shoulder.

"Whaaaa!" He cried, and fell to the floor melodramatically. "Jaaaames! SHe hit meeee!" He whined. "Its not his fault, Im sure he was dropped many times while he was young." James chuckled evily from behind Tsumai. He decided to hit hard, "Plus he's gay." James added. Alex looked up, fake crocidile tears in his eyes, the undescribable look of complete surprise on his face.

"Jow'd you know?" He asked, sincere with his question. It was James' turn to be surprised. "Im right?" He asked, his voice going up at the end. "You guessed?" Alex asked, picking himself up off of the floor and dusting himself off.

(( 8D MUAHAHAHAHAHA !! >:3 I loves me a good plot twist XD ))

"Oh!" James cought her mid fall. "Alex looked up in surprise. "I just gave myself away I suppose..." He said, looking at the two. "Oh, come on. Its not that big a deal!" Alex said. "Oh, you're one to talk." James said, picking Tsumai up and carrying her to the kitchen.

"Where you going?" Alex asked, following him. "Im going to cool her off." He said, he managed to open the freezer and let the cool air hit her face.
