Nick got off of the couch and grabbed Calyx by the hand. In an attempt to coax her out, he said, "Calyx, please come out. I promise I'm not going to do anything bad. If your wounds aren't treated, they'll get infected. And then you'll get sick. I'll buy you a kitten if you cooperate with me, okay?" He patted her head with his free hand.

~~~

"Yeah," Lily nodded, getting into the passenger's seat. She fastened the seat belt, and crossed her legs. Her hair was dry, and it was straight as always, barely flipping out at the ends. She patted it down, and wished that she had some bobby pins to keep her bangs out of her face.

Calyx backed up in responce. "Well I do want a kitten," She said finally, to no one in particular. "You promise you won't do anything bad?" She asked, poking her head out from under the table. She flinched when he patted her head out of instinct, but she shrugged it off. She'd get used to it. She crawled out from under the table. After a few awkward seconds, she said, "There's a shiny rock stuck in my leg," She pouted.

---

"Shopping~" Kohaku giggled, putting the key in the ignition. After a few false starts, it finally hummed to life. "Finally," He sighed, driving them out of there. Then he remembered something. He pulled to the curb. "Err, I might have to put you on a leash. If not security might come and take you away...."

Lily glared at Kohaku. "Excuse me? No doggy harnesses, though. As long as it goes around my neck, I'm fine." She pulled her hair over her shoulder, and began to do small braids, and then she would comb them out with her fingers. She wasn't too sure about the leashes, but she would get used to it eventually.

~~~

Nick sighed. "I'll get you a kitten. I'll take you to every pet store until you find a kitten that's just what you want, okay? I promise I won't do anything bad. And I'll get the shiny rock out of your leg if you hold still." Nick gripped the glass, and yanked it out so quickly that it shouldn't have caused Calyx any pain. He then took a few pieces of gauze, and began blotting the area where the glass was stuck. 

Kohaku sighed. "I'm not very happy about it either. Thats why I don't really go anywhere. Its all too inhumane." He explained. "Let me look around, my other human had a collar and leash, but it was crazy and refused to wear it. By refuse, it mauled me. Its still pretty new," He said, looking around in the back seat of the car. "Found it," He said finally, pulling out a red leather collar with some bell at the end. "It has a few scratched where it clawed at it, but its fine," He added, finding a leash along with it with the same color scheme.

---

Calyx giggled. "Everything's spinning~" She said in awe. She flinched when the glass was yanked out, but other than that, she showed no notice. "Look at the lights, Nick." She said, staring at the ceiling. She fell over with a thud, either unconcious from the blood loss or just tired from all the sugar she ate.

Lily looked at the collar. It was pretty enough, but she liked white more. She popped her neck, and waited for Kohaku to start the car and drive again. She hadn't been shopping in well... Never. She wondered if it was as fun as it seemed on television.

~~~ 

Nick sighed. He cleaned her leg up, and wrapped it in gauze. He took his gloves off, and tossed them into a nearby trash can. He picked Calyx up bridal style, and toted her up the stairs. He walked to his room, and placed her on the couch.

While Calyx was unconscious, Nick went to work on his room. He cleaned his desk up, and cleaned up the shattered glass. He sighed, and finished up the work. He sat on the couch beside Calyx, and put his head in his hands in frustration.

Note to self: No sugar for Calyx 

(( Yeah, no sugar for Calyx. xD That wasn't even her worst.

Wait until she gets some chocolate.

Oh yus. ))

Calyx woke up with a major headache. She groaned, rubbing her head. "Nick....What happened?" She asked, falling back down on the couch and huggling a pillow. "The only thing I can remember is....Kittens. And rainbows. And blood." She said, closing her eyes. She sat up with a jolt. "Did you feed on me, bloodsucker?!" She snapped. But the sudden movement made her head hurt even more, so she layed back down. "I crave donuts. And.....kittens?"

---

Kohaku started the car up again and they were on there way. "I can get a new one, if you'd like." He said, without taking his eyes off the road. "Yay, we're here~" He said, parking the car. "What do you like? Dresses, tomboy, ect?" He asked, then giggled. "You look like my little sister or something."

Lily nodded when he asked her if she wanted a new collar. She was really more of a dress person type, and she liked short shorts, due to the fact that she could move her legs freely in them. "You look like my little sister or something." That sentence brought her back to reality.

Lily crossed her arms and huffed. "That's not funny."

~~~

Nick looked at Calyx and said, "I didn't feed on you. I promise. You had like... twenty donuts, and went crazy. You destroyed my room, but I cleaned it up, and jumped through a window. You got a piece of glass lodged in your leg, but I got it out and put a bandage on it. And you asked me for a kitten... We'll go buy you a kitten later, as soon as you have enough strength to walk."

((Oh no. Now chocolate is what makes me go crazy. And coffee, of course.)) 

Calyx huffed. "Like I'd trust you." She muttered, crossing her arms. "What? Its not fault, I've never had anything sweet before.....I liked it. Now I want mooorrreee." She said. She looked over to her leg. "I can't see it. Am I so far I can't even see things over my stomach anymore? Pffft. Did it scar?" She asked finally. She let out a sigh of relief when her headache started to not hurt as much. "Hey, got an asprin or something? I've got a killer headache." She added. "Oh, there's the bandage." She said, leaning over to stare at it. "....Can I have some more sweets?"

---

Kohaku giggled. "Well it is to me~" He stepped out of the car and opened her door for her. "Your new clothes await you, m'lady." He said, then giggling afterwards.

"I'll get you some pain killers in a second. Oh, and you aren't getting any more sweets. No more." Nick got up out of his chair, and sifted through one of the drawers in his desk. He pulled an advil bottle out, and tossed it to Calyx. "Take two of those. If you need water, tell me."

~~~

Lily rolled her eyes and got out. She wanted to take off, but she knew that Kohaku would probably hurt her if she did. And she was getting free clothes for this! It wasn't all that bad. She looked at the mall, which was huge. She waited for the collar to go around her neck before she took off. There was no way that she was going to get man-handled by the security guards. 

Kohaku clicked the collar on reluctantly. "It'll only be for a little while," He promised. He clipped the leash on. "What size are you?" He asked as they were walking to the entrance. "Hey, Kohaku!" SOmeone called. Kohaku turned around to see some of his own buddied. He slapped them a high five and grinned. "What's up, Connor?" He asked. "Nothin'. Just going to get some tazers and such. There's a sale. And for the compitition, of course." "Competition?" "Yeah. I'm intering my human. If that what your doing?" Kohaku hesitated. "Err, I'm buying her clothes." "Ha! So its a 'her', now?" Connor chuckled. "I knew that other human wouldn't last long. Had to snap its neck, did you?" Kohaku balled up his fists. "I've got to go, Connor." "You're such a wuss," The other vampire chuckled, pulling his own human along inside. Kohaku walkewd in also, but went different directions. "So...Your size again?" Kohaku asked as if nothing happened. he didn't need to let Lily know about the vicious, inhumane game they played with human on the other side of the mall.

---

"You're not the boss of me, I'll eat what I wanna eat." Calyx snapped. She caught the pain killers and popped two out. She instantly swallowed them. "Gah--these taste like sh!t. Water, please."

Lily was a bit confused. "What was that about?" She rubbed her head. "And I'm not sure what size I wear, but I'm sure it's really small." She really wore about a size zero, given that she didn't exactly eat a whole lot. In the human containment centers, they only gave you one meal a day that consisted of a slice of bread and some kind of soup. She didn't mind the collar all that much, but the leash made her feel like a pet. Of course, she kind of was...

~~~

Nick pulled a bottle of water out of his mini-fridge under his desk, and tossed it to Calyx. "The chefs already have a lock on the kitchen. And I'll let you have sweets, but not too many. You don't want to break your neck on the way out the window next time, do you?" He raised an eyebrow at Calyx.

Calyx gulped down the water and slumped down deeper in her seat. "what about a window?" She asked.

---

"Just some stupid guys," Kohaku answered. "And we'll find out your size later, I suppose."

(( Headache. D; )) 

"You jumped through a window. That's how you got the glass in your leg." Nick rubbed his head. This girl seriously didn't remember anything.

~~~

Lily sighed. "Don't lie to me." She shook her head. "I'm smarter than you think." She approached a store, that carried womens' clothing.

((FFFAIL.))

Kohaku crossed his arms and huffed. "I am not lieing!" he snapped. "He is a stupid thug," He walked with ehr to the entrance and stopped. "Err, pick out what you want." He said.

---

"What glass?" Calyx asked, clawing at the couch.

Lily rolled her eyes and took the leash off of her collar. "What a wuss. He's scared to come in a womens' clothing department." She shook her head. Lily immediately went to the dresses, and looked at all of them. She saw one in particular. It was a white dress that had a red ribbon around the middle. Her eyes nearly popped out of her head. She picked through the sizes until she found one small enough. She went through several other racks of clothes, picking up shirts and such.

Lily walked into the dressing room and tried the clothes on. Most of them were too big. Lily came back to Kohaku with the white dress, a few pairs of shorts, and a few t-shirts. She handed them to Kohaku and said, "Pay up."

~~~

"The glass that I pulled out of your leg. The glass that caused you to lose blood so that you passed out. Remember?" Nick tapped his temples in a gesture for Calyx. "Maybe you have altzheimers..." Nick chuckled.

Kohaku waited at the entrance, looking down at the floor to hide a blush. He turned around and huffed, "I heard that!" He turned backa round and put his hoodie on over his head. When she came back, he couldn't help but stare at the dress. "How pretty," he cooed. He looked at the price tag and sighed. "You have good taste," He said smugly. "You seem to like expensive things," He walked in quickly and paid for them. "Ready to head back to the hosue?" He asked.

---

Calyx looked to her leg and stared at her wound. "I remember fuzzy pictures. You drugged me, didn't you!" She accused. "And I do not have ally-what-ever-you-said." She added with a huff. "She puleld her leg up close to her to stare at it.

"I didn't drug you!" Nick said. "Calyx, do you want your kitten or not?"

~~~

Lily smirked. She had made him blush. When he told her the dress was pretty, it was her turn to blush. She turned her head away from Kohaku to hide her blush. When he asked if she was ready to go back to the house, Lily shook her head in a no fashion.

((Guhhh. Brain fart... D: Wanna have Lily accidentally entered in the 'cruel games that they play on the far side of the mall'? :D))

(( Omgyus. :DD ))

"Kitten~!" Calyx exclaimed. "I want a thousand! I want a white one, and back one, a tuxedo one, a siamese, a spotted one--" She stopped and stared at Nick awkwardly. "Pfft. What makes you think I want a cat?" She said angirly. "Cats are for stupid prissy girls."

---

Kohaku giggled when she blushed. "How cute~" He cooed at her blush. "Well, we got what we wanted. What do you need? I wanna get back to the house to check up on Black Magic."

((Wait. o.o How is she gonna get entered into it?...))

"You asked me for a kitten when you were high on sugar." Nick smirked. "Duh. I know that deep down inside, you probably like animals. I could give you a leopard kit if you want." He cracked his neck, and closed his eyes, leaning back on the couch.

~~~

Lily sighed. Kohaku was going to take her back to the house even if she didn't want to go. But that didn't mean that she couldn't have any fun. Lily stopped walking, and sat down on the floor with a grin on her face. She was challenging Kohaku. "No."
