Leo was, again, a little on edge when Kurohoshi took his hand. Electricity seemed to be pas.sed from the male mitsune to him and he felt the small hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. He wondered if the other demon was feeling these things or if it was just him. He figured that it was just their abilities crashing, the kitsune's fire and his water.

WHen they left the cover of the tree and the humans came into view once again, Leo allowed Kurohoshi to get closer to him. He wondered why the other let humans make him feel the way he felt whenver they said something about him. The was a demon. A proud race. 

Riku blushed slightly as Mordekai's tongue slid against his skin. He looked down at Mordekai and smiled."Of crouse you had to coax me into this... I was always so nervous to say anything to you. Although I was always talking to Kyin abou tyou." He smiled and gently kissed Mordekai again and his tail swished from side to side, gently lapping against Mordekai's exposed upper body. His horns and wings began to take shape and Riku quickly forced his wings back in. "it's been too long since I've exposed my wings... I'm not used to them being out.." He looked at Mordekai. "Is that weird?"

Alex beamed and took Jake's hand so that he could lead them downstairs. He hadn't had sweets for weeks and like hell he wasn't going to eat up some of Malice's. Especally since he was hiding from him in this house somewhere.

-

Leo lead his companion back to Malice's house and away from the judgemental humans. He'd go back and kill them if Kurohoshi wasn't holding onto him so tightly. Looks like they were goingto get away with what they did and he'd have to wait until next time. 

ALex followed Jake down the stairs and into the kitchen. All of te demons had something different going on about them and none of them really noticed the two come down the steps. Alex was half ok with that, not really wanting to be messed with. But he half wanted them to notice him coming, like they used to. Was he getting old? 

In the kitchen he like go of Jake's hand and went over to the fridge and opened it. The first sweet thing he saw was cherries, and lots of them. That was Malice's favorite human treat. But Malice was being mean so he took some of them and closed the door once again, happy with what he found and wondering what Jake had. 

Riku looked at his mate. "Really? You once had wings?" He moved himself so His head was on Mordekai's chest. His heartbeat resonated in Riku's ear and he smiled slightly. His tail swishing back and forth and his wings beginning to poke out a little. They disappeared and Riku looked at Mordekai. "So.. How long have you been unable to remember what your wings looked like? And what have you been doing for all the years I haven't seen you? It's been almost a few thousand.."

Jake looked at Alex and smiled. "Can you tie the steps in knots?" Jake got down and opened the cabinet. He took out a bag of cookies and looked at them before popping the bag open and chewing on a few. "MMh.. For a stubborn child, he knows just what kind of sweets are best."

Alex grinned in a seductive way. "Of course I do.." He responded, taking a cherry into his mouth delicately. He wondered if Jake knew about what they said about cherries. But what he had said interested Alex. "Child? Malice is ancient..." He said, Malice was the oldest demon Alex knew personally. 

-

Leo opened the door for Kurohoshi and closed it after they were both inside and turned to him. "You shouldn't let humans.... of all creatures.... make you feel the way that they do." He said simply before walking past him to sit on the counch once again. This was getting tiresome and he wondered how long Malice was going to take before he would decide to come downstairs. 

Mordekai chuckled, nuzzling his mate with a soft smile. "It's been many, manycenturies since I last saw my wings. I remember I used to have them, but not what they looked like," he said, then blinekd at the second question he was asked by Riku. "Mmm... Nothing much, really the same as usual," he replied, wrapping his arms around the other demon.

Kurohoshi gave Leo a soft, slightly sad smile as he follwoed behind him, his ears and a single tail appearing. His ears drooped a bit, the tip of his tail nearly reaching the floor at this point. "My scar, even after many thousands of years of life, are still a very sensitive topic to me," he said, reaching up to brush his fingertips against the uneven skin. "Mainly because it was my master who had been the one to inflict.
