“No one knew about us…except Alvilda. It doesn‘t matter…..she doesn‘t even care that I gave everything up for her.” Hotaru mumbled the last part of the sentence as he turned his face away from the group, not wanting their sympathy, he sighed heavily and pulled out a chair, pulling his jacket and shirt off to reveal several long, deep gashes on his chest and arms, it ruined his skin and his muscles rippled some as he clinched his fist in anger, he didn’t know why was going to allow him self get fixed maybe it was the innocent face that basically begged him to get fixed.

“He was going to marry Katie when she broke it off. So you can imagine that he has some bitter feelings. It is true that I was the only one that knew, I didn‘t tell our father about it either, he found out when he had Katie followed one day. He is just working her because our father wants to hurt him and Katie to the point they hate each other. Janice, may you please fix him up since it seems that he is allowing someone to help him.” Alvilda said as she looked down at her wounded hand, watching as some thing that looked disgusting started to ooze out of her hand, she picked up a napkin and wrapped it around it, pressing on it to get more of it to come out so she would stop feeling so sick. She smiled weakly as she looked up, keeping her eyes away from the man, knowing that he blamed her for his and Katie's failed relationship, and also knowing that she had told about the two to the family that they were going to marry into but Hotaru had brought it up first so he was the one that broke that trust not her.

Ace smirked and nodded. "I don't mind. The bed's big enough to fit the both of us." he commented.He shrugged somewhat. "I'm not sure, honestly. Maybe it's some sort of bet or something..." he said, trailing off. He didn't like the idea of marrying that soon, but what were they supposed to do? His eyes widened somewhat though. "Oh god.. Shin's birthday's in four days." he said, rather randomly. He'd just remembered that.

Janice frowned some more as she listened to the story, "Well... I'm sorry for everything, but, there's no need to dwell in the past you know... Think of this as a new beginning." she offered as she grabbed the alcohol left by Ace and took a towel, dabbing it with the liquid before trying to clean the wounds on his arms. "Um.. We should move this to the bathroom." she suggested. She didn't know where it was, but they'd be spending some time on the wounds, and cleaning him up. She also needed bandages.

Drake smirked."So your going to let Daddy Amaya win?" He said, shaking his head a little."You must not be that into her to let it all go to waste..can;t you see that your falling right into her fathers trap?" He chuckled. He knew if he was in this perdicament he would just go to the girl, kiss her, seduce her to where she would forget about the other guy, and then take her away. But most men didn't have the balls to do it..and at the moment he didn't think Hotaru had balls since he was so down in the dumps about Katie. So he wouldn't let him in on his plan."If you love her then don't give up because that slap meant she still cares about you. But if you don't love her then let her go." He said, getting up from the table."Theres my words of wisdom today.." He said, yawning and going into the kitchen for food.He called back."But Ace is still my brother so if you fuck with him then you fuck with all of us."He chuckled, to much wine..

Katie nodded."Then I'd rather be in your room..being in new a new house will probably take some getting used too. And its so much bigger then my house that i'd probably get scared or something like that." She said, finally reaching the top of the stairs and going into Ace's room ,turning and taking her luggage from him and sitting it on the floor. She kissed his cheek."Thanks." She said, sitting on the floor and looking threw her bag of stuff. It was all just clothes and then her violin case.

( What's Drake doing? o.o; It's like, duuude, don't go against your bro!! XD;; )

Ace nodded and smirked. "No problem. And we have nothing too scary. Just a ghost that likes to poke his fun at people." he said, sounding serious.

Shin slapped his palm to his brother's forehead and shook his head. "Drake, no. He should just move on and show that their father that he's better than that." he said, his eyes showing he was slightly worried.

((i know xD Someone should smack him Lol, Drakes more of a independant guy so I have to make him be cool..then a jerk..then set people up for bad things to happen Lol..hes a messed up character. ))

( Shin has done the favor. XD; But yeeeah. >.>; We're trying to, keep things peaceful. XD;; I have a couple people like that so I understand. x.x;; )

((There, I edited..explaining that Drake was drunk xD..It doesn't help that hes screwed up and drunk Lol ))

Katie looked at Ace."Nu uh.." She said, not wanting to look like an idiot if there wasn't."Your kidding right?" She asked, looking up at him and just putting her bag of clothes in the corner and then sitting her violin case up against the wall."There, i'm unpacked." She grinned, getting up and sitting at the end of his bed.

"You don't get it....she doesn't love me....she is faking this whole sex with Ace and pregnancey thing to be with him. I told her that i wantted her to go with me, but she said kno and that she wantted to be with Ace. I am not going to force someone to love me when they clearly love someone else. She only slapped me because i ruined the one thing about myself that attracted her to me in the first place....my beautiful white hair as she put it." Hotaru said to Drake and the room, he just looked towards the floor, being completely blank at the moment, not wantting thier pity or advice on what he should do about Katiew and his relationship with her, he looked up and met Janice's eyes when she spoke to him. "There is no point in moving the blood through out the house....there is plenty in her already so more won't hurt it." he said to her as he sighed heavily and leaned his head back, he dug around in his pocket before he pulled out a hand rolled ciggerate, shoving it into his mouth before he lite it and began to smoke, it was something he had picked up after Katie left him, mainly to kill him self some more.

Drake came back in with haf a sandwhich in his mouth, you could barely make out what he was saying."Did you actually say 'Come with me baby! I'll make your life better then Ace's sex!" He chuckled, tripping over his own foot and sitting down."Dude, who wouldn't lie to be with the person that was more like you..no offense Shin." He grinned, laughing until his chair fell backwards.

((I love Drake xD ))

Janice sighed somewhat. "I didn't mean it like that. I need bandages.." she said, almost pouting before snorting as the smoke reached her nose. She narrowed her eyes at him before snatching it away from him, stomping it out. "No smoking while you're being healed. And only outside." she said though she still maintained that concerned expression. She looked at Drake next and she raised an eyebrow. "Drake... I'm going to hurt you." she said simply. Though, coming from her, those who didn't know her would think she was joking.

Shin sighed somewhat, looking at Janice before shaking his head, walking over to Drake to push him out of the room. "Ignore the drunk." he said simply.

Ace smirked somewhat in that dead serious tone. "Do I look like I'm kidding?" he asked.

( That made me laugh. XD )

Drake threw his sandwhich in the air and it surprisingly landed on the table."Shin..Take me to the couch!" He said, putting out his arms for his brother to help him up."Please.."He croaked.

"Well..no, its just kind of..strange.." She said, staring at him and patting the spot next to her so he would sit down.

"Don't put my ciggerate out again. I have permission to smoke inside this house hold." Hotaru said as he pulled out another one and lite it, this time instead of smoking it he flicked it at Drake and watched as it landed on the man's shirt and start to burn a hole in it, he had a satidfied smile on his face, he adjustted how he was seating so she could get at the wounds better.

"I will go and get them." Alvilda said as she stood up and made her way to the bathroom to get the cut up sheets out from under the sink so that Janice could bandage Hotaru up. She knew that she wasn't supposed to do things outside of the normal lazy day for people but some things were just ingrained into her and it couldn't be helpped, exspecailly when someone needed something and no one else was getting it.

Ace smirked and nodded, sitting down next to her. "True. Nah, we don't have a ghost." he said, shrugging. He looked at the bags and figured he'd put those away somewhere later.

Shin almost sighed, helping him up off the chair and toward the living room. "You crazy drunk." he said before blinking and taking the burning thing off his brothers shirt, stomping it out. "Well then." he stated.

She shook her head, ignoring his words about the smoking. She looked slightly amused as she continued to fix the wounds, she frowned somewhat though. "You'll need stitches for some.." she said before thanking Alvidia for the help.

She blushed since she had almost believed him."Not funny.." She mumbled, laying back on the bed, it was soft."Okay, so whats your favorite animal? Since I alreayd know your least." She said, shivering a little. She looked up at him and then at the ceiling. She still felt bad about the whole Hotaru thing, but hearing Ace talk made her feel better.

"Thanks dude.." Drake mumbled,falling asleep on the couch.

Ace chuckled and also laid back, though he scooted up somewhat so he'd be able to lie his head on the pillow."My favorite are either foxes or wolves." he said, smirking somewhat since she blushed again. "You blush very easily." he teased.

Alvilda passed through the living room as she grabbed the med kit off the self that was in there, smiling at the guys before she turnned and made her way back to the dinning room, she set the things down on the table. "Your welcome." she said to Janice before she opened the med kit and began to take care of her own wound, lancing it some to get more of the yellow stuff out of it before she poured acohol onto it to clean it even more.

She pulled herself up to the pillow on her side since when he scooted up her head was by his lower area. She mirked,looking at him."So? It's easy to blush around you.." She said, her blush fading."Hmm, favorite food?" She asked laying her head down on the pillow. She had no clue that Hotaru would be coming here."I'm just happy I can actually talk to you without all the drama." She said, looking at his eye color.

Janice started to wrap up the wounds that were minor or that didn't need stitching and after she was done she looked at his head before getting a towel wet with water to try and clean up some of the blood his hair. "At least it didn't turn pink." she muttered, chuckling somewhat imagining him with pink hair.

Ace smirked, thinking about it. "I'd have to saaay... I'm not sure. But I do like chocolate sometimes." he offered, shrugging. "And you?"

She smirked."Whip cream." She laughed."Or chocolate and whip cream, it doesn't matter." She laughed a little."If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?" She asked, interested in this question since it in her opinion was a good one. She rubbed her arm with her hand, looking at him, She was just doing that out of random, and because she was a little cold.

"Don't bother with my hair.....it is going to stay that dork blood red color for a while.....it is the down fall of having white hair." Hotaru said to her as he sighed heavily and leaned onto his good arm, he watched as alvilda pulled a needle and some thread out, dipping it into the alcohol before she handed it to Janice, he sighed and turnned his head towards the door way, wondering if Shin was going to come back and try to get to know his new fiancee instead of watch over his drunk brother.

She paused and tilted her head before nodding, "Well, okay then." putting the towel down as she got the needle from Alvidia with a small smile before blinking. "What's your name?" she asked her, tilting her head the other way. "I, forget to ask, or.. Yeah." she said, laughing somewhat nervously before she looked at his bad arm, grabbing a hold of it firmly.

Ace thought about that before shaking his head. "I'm not sure. I'd rather travel first, see what place is better." he said after a moment. "But for now.. Here's fine." he glanced down at her and tilted his head. "Cold?"

"I am Alvilda.....the crazy sister....." She said as she sighed heavily and bandage her own hand up, she knew what everyone thought of her, and also knew that none of them wantted to marry her, she ran a hand through her hair before she picked her glass and plate up, walking into the kitchen and placing them into the sink. Her showing up when she was supposed to be at the hospital shouldn't have been a surprise to her sisters after all she had done it before exspecially when she had scarlet fever. She went back into the dinning room and watched as Janice took care of Hotaru, seeing his eyes narrow slightly each time a stitch was made into his skin.

She laughed." A little.." She said, nodding in agreement." Someday I want to go and see greece, mostly because of the history and ancient architecture there.." She said, trailing off not to seem like a history geek." She smiled."Um..you got any questions?" She asked, giving up. She wanted to get to know him more before hey started kissing all the time."Sorry Ace, We forgot your alcohol." She said, looking at the ceiling with a smirk.

Janice tilted her head a little, taking in what she'd said. "You don't seem crazy." she offered with a small smile. What some people took as crazy, others would take in a nicer light. She continued working with the arm, making swift work with the stitching. It was done well since they were all neat and sturdy. She moved on to the next one as she tsked somewhat. "You made quite a mess of yourself." she said.

Shin raised an eyebrow somewhat. "She's right. You're more, stubborn than crazy." he said smirking somewhat. It'd taken him a moment to make sure Drake was going to be okay, thus why he didn't get here sooner. "How's your hand?" he asked, glancing at it.

Ace laughed somewhat, smirking. "Girl, there wasn't much left in it. Besides, I have more." he said easily enough, pulling her somewhat closer to bring her to him, thus a way to warm her up. "Hm, when's your birthday?" he asked.

She forced herself not to blush when he pulled her closer, but she cam closer to him, running her finger down his arm."April 8th, yours?" She asked, then laughing."Neither of us asked how old we were!" She said, putting her head on his shoulder."I swear, the most important things always slip my mind." She smirked.
