Climbing in on the driver’s side William sighed. “Sorry, but it is true some types of pain only turn me on.” He started up the car and drove back towards the school.

Tzal nodded, and stared out of the window at the passing cars, pedestrians, and buildings.

As they neared the school William slowed down and pulled over behind a car with its flashers going. “is it me or does that look like Angelo’s car?”

Seymour was taking a nap in the front seat.

"Huh. Angelo warped off and left poor Seymour all by himself," Tzal noted, frowning.

“probably thought that he could drive like all the other students.” Looking over at tzal William stop the car and unlocked the door. “you want me to set the car to return to the school on its own and you come with me to take his car back or do you want to just ride home in here?”

"I'll go with you. This car can find its way back," Tzal murmured. "You should wake Seymour up..."

“Yes yes it can.” Leaning in he hit a key in the dash board and locked the door. Sutting it he walked over to where Seymour was sleeping and gently rapped on the window. “Seymour time to wake up.”

Vinny was just waking up, he was in pain and was thinking of the thousand ways he could kill his brother. Not only had he knocked him out but then he had just left him there on the floor without… he saw Hirsch’s shirt. “Oh gods who have you got now? And how much trouble is this going to cause.” Pushing himself up he looked over at josh… who was asleep again. “Ok he does not have you and has not hurt you as far as I can tell.”

“Don’t you need to have someone open the gate first?” Adam said looking away, this time at his pants. “Umm how about we get dressed first?”

Seymour jumped, shaking his head a few times. "I'm up, I'm up..." he mumbled, wearily.

Tzal scuttled into the car's back seat.

"Sure." Hirsch stood up, summoning his shirt from the other room. "No, not for a cupid. A cupid can look through the barrier...no one can physically get through the barrier, but that doesn't mean it can't be breached in other ways," he explained as he pulled his clothing on.

Smiling at Seymour William walked to the driver’s side. As he sat down and reset the seat and controls he looked over at Seymour. “so Angelo left you thinking that you would drive his baby home did he?” the car started with a purr. “well never fear we will get you back to your brother.” Looking up at Tzal in the back seat he smiled. “Ok back there? Not too cramped?”

Seeing the shirt disappear only made Vinny worry more of what his brother had gotten involved with.

Grabbing his clothes and putting them on Adam smiled. This was the first time Hirsch would have seen a true smile from him. Had Vinny seen it he would have passed out again. “So cupids can look into other realms? Do you really think there is one for me in there?”

Seymour yawned widely, cutely. "Yay!"

"I'm fine," Tzal assured him.

Hirsch liked the sight of his true smile--he walked over and wrapped a friendly arm around Adam's waist. "Positive. If you've checked everywhere else and haven't found a true mate that's able to stay with you...your answer lies in Lichuen. There are some very high-grade demons there, so you should be a little careful, especially if the demon appears to be older than you..." He paused. "Your brother seems worried. Should we go ask him to check, now?"

“I am sorry that our teacher really was not thinking when he ran off. He must have had an experiment go off and had to get back to it.” William reached out and ruffled Seymour’s hair. ~hay would you mind if he joins us in our bath Tzal, I won’t go after you if he does.~

“He is going to try to kill me first.” Leaning in Adam stole a deep kiss from Hirsch before turning and walking to the door. “But yes we probably should go deal with him now not latter.”

~I don't mind,~ Tzal replied, contently. He always watched out the window during a car ride, so he sounded a little distracted...

Hirsch didn't seem to mind the kiss. He was used to having many lovers, so it didn't matter to him. "All right, come on..." He walked with Adam back to the infirmary--he used his powers to rein in his attitude once they stepped in, as to not scare Josh.

“Seymour would you like to join us in a bath… it’s more like a pool and if you really want you can were a swim suit.” William asked as the turned the corner not far from the entrance of the school. Behind them the other car slowly followed them. To anyone looking at it it looked to have a driver in it.

“where have you…” Vinny quietly started to say as he saw Adam walk in but then he saw Hirsch. “oh no please tell me you were not just doing what I think you were doing?” fear and annoyance filled Vinny’s eyes. He had had enough this was the last straw with his brother.

“it is not what…” Vinny decked Adam before he could say any more. Not having been prepared for this Adam fell back stumbling.

"Sure!" Seymour sang, dancing in his seat. He seemed like a very carefree sort of person.

Hirsch caught him. "Hey...settle down..." He held Vinny back with his free arm. "His powers won't work on a high-grade demon such as myself." He forced a feeling of calm over Adam to discourage him from retaliating. "I have a request for you. Do you know of Lichuen?" He explained what he wanted Vinny to try.

Smiling William pulled into the school and parked. “Well then if you want a bathing suit I think we can find you one. if not come on up.” Getting out of the car William held the door open for Tzal before picking him up and carrying him up to their room. ~I thought that he would be a perfect buffer for me not to ask you. And he will not have much to do other then wander around the school and it is near lights out so.~

“It’s not that he didn’t, its he was trying!” Vinny’s face was contracted in anger his eyes blazing with furies. “he does this every single time just to prove that he can have any one he wants.” Vinny kept his voice low so as not to wake Josh.

“I did not try it he came to me!” standing back up Adam wiped a bit of blood from his lips. “if you had to know I was not planning on running anyone but Josh!”

Seymour skipped out of the car. "Huzzah!"

Tzal curled up in William's arms. ~Fair enough...~

"Now, hang on. Don't you think he'd stop this behavior if he actually had a true mate that wouldn't run from him?" Hirsch asked, curiously. "Come on. Give him a chance. Try it."

Reaching their room William nuzzled Tzal face before setting him down. “Dress how you like Tzal, I am going in the buff.” And to prove it he striped and walked over to the bath room door.

“No I really do not think he would.” Vinny snapped. “And what do you mean try it?”

“He said look in his home realm to see if a demon would be my perfect mate.” Adam said with a smirk. Vinnys face fell in surprise then he looked between Adam and Hirsch.

Tzal coughed and quickly changed into some old shorts he didn't mind getting wet. He followed him.

Seymour flung his kimono off--he was wearing old white shorts underneath, and followed, as well.

"You haven't looked in Lichuen, yet, dear," Hirsch informed Vinny, pleasantly. "Give it a shot."

Taking a running leap William disappeared into a large splash. He needed to have a pool party some time. This was the perfect place for it and well he had not had one in a while. Maybe Tzal would put up the cash so that he could have the party. Bursting to the surface William splashed the other two as they came in. “you know what I think I need to have a pool party some time.”

“And where ‘Exactly’ is Lichuen? I have never even heared of a place by that name.” it seemed that all the steam that Vinny had had for his brother was now lost.

Seymour jumped in, as well. He swam like a fish, almost, and at an incredible speed. Water was his forte, after all. "That sounds like fun!"

Tzal slid in after him. "That...um...sounds like people will be there," he muttered. Tzal was not a people person.

Hirsch reached out and took Vinny's hand. "You have to hold my hand and find the mental passage in it. You'll have to make your calculations while touching me somehow...holding my hand is the easiest method..."

“ummmm yes there will be people there, but it would be fun to have more people here to share the pool.” Diving under again he thought a little bit more about the pool party Idea. Swimming with his eyes closed he found a pair of legs and grabbed them.

“now you have really lost me.” Vinny looked over at Adam who only shrugged and then waved at his brother to continue. “a mental passage way?”

Tzal squeaked, squirming and trying to get his little legs free.

Seymour snickered, amused.

"I still have a connection to Lichuen. You should be able to locate it using my mind as a reference. Here." Hirsch tore open his mind, allowing his memories of and mental connection to Lichuen to show.

Coming up out of the water William kissed Tzal on the cheek. “Look I got myself a Tzal fish what shall I do with it now?” he said looking over at Seymour then he turned back and looked into Tzal eyes. “if you would like I could have the pool party with only the people we really know.”

“You’re not getting it. I am only able to look at a person in real life; I can’t see using any mental powers. Other than being able to see things that will match someone up with another I don’t have any mental powers.”

Tzal frowned, then sighed in relief and nodded. "That sounds good."

"You don't have to have any powers," Hirsch assured him. "Just by holding my hand, you should be able to make charts of people who live in Lichuen. Try now...see if you can find a match for Adam. Just don't let go of my hand."

“I don’t want to make you feel bad.” Jumping back he landed in the water on his back then dove in seconds Seymour was attacked but not caught.

“Alright but only to get my brother off everyone else’s back.” Vinny looked over at Adam before taking Hirsch’s hand.

“So what happened if my dear brother lets go?” Adam smirked as he started playing with something he had found.
