Chapter three: domestic live interrupted
Coming home
was feeling different today to Leon.
Because he
had not only a beast following him on every step that looked like a bad joker mix
between a tiger, a goat and a human all the way up to his apartment in the
sixed floor of his housing. Oddly enough, to the guards Tetsu seemingly looked
like a smallish sheep, tiger mix only� Leon chose not to comment on that and
simply ignored it with a fanatically stubbornness that stunned even Tetsu
speechless for once.
Leon was
getting better in this, the Tao Tie realized fast and chose to let the matter
fall.
It didn�t
matter anyways; as long Leon did not shoot him again, he could deal with his
sudden oddness�s. He understood rather good what had to run amok in Leon�s mind
right now. Couldn�t even blame the poor cop for it either. The D�s had that
effect on humans occasionally. On animals too, he was no exception from that
rule. Leon currently had to torment his poor brain for what was going to happen
and Tetsu wasn�t helping any, he knew.
He had
simply gone and searched the cop out.
Fully well
realizing that Leon had to know by now, somehow, that the Kami was back and
kicking his civilians around once more. Another point for him to follow Leon
home was Christopher. He wanted the boy back in his grasp! Even having
explained the reasons of D�s decision to him to send Chris back had not truly
stopped Tetsu from wishing it had not been necessary.
In the end,
he had been alone again and Tetsu had not liked to loose his little human
playmate.
Outwards,
Tetsu had played cool. His inner turmoil had been an entirely different story
to tell. He had even snapped at D one day in his frustration, hence the longer
explanation in the end. To be honest, he had been short from leaving the ship
and hunting down Chris on his own before D had taken him aside to explain
everything to Tetsu in long suffering hours.
However,
nothing had worked out according to plan.
Then they
had stayed in Tokyo and that fool of a landlord had stomped into their shop to
pest D. That human had shortly served as a distraction, not in the lengths of
Leon, oh no. No one could replace that moron as far as the animals in the ship
were concerned, but enough to take Tetsu off of the initial anger and hurt for
a while.
To have an
irritated Tao Tie of Tetsu�s caliber on their hands had even a bit scared the
Kami�s.
He was a
minor deity after all and as such, Tetsu had a lot power of his own resources
that he could use if needed. Or if wanted as the one he was using right now to
fool the guards into seeing only his harmless animal form what seem to amuse
the Leon to no ends. For Tetsu, all of this held no meaning in any worth to
what he wanted to get back into his paws reaches to keep it this time around
for good.
Namely, one
human boy called Christopher Orcrot.
In
addition, said human he could already smell in that damned elevator that made
his ears ring. Next time he would use the stairs, Tetsu swore! Leon just
shrugged seeing him cringe and soon held his hands over Tetsu's ears to hold
the worst away from his fine tuned hearing. It helped a bit and made the agitated
beast calm down some.
A dinging
sound and the doors opened.
Barely fast
enough to have Tetsu jump out of the cursed thing of human tech! He hated them,
final. Trotting down the hallway, he simply followed his fine nose until his
eyes could read the label with the name Orcrot on one of the doors. The cop did
well, from what Tetsu could tell. The building was high quality and pricey to
live in for certes. If Tetsu had still a human host, he would have chosen such
a place to live in too. He shrugged it off and waited until Leon had opened the
door for him to slip inside like a ghost.
Leon in the
meanwhile had to shrug at Tetsu�s performance.
That he had
not attacked anyone on their way here was a miracle to Leon but he figured
rightfully that the Totetsu wanted to see Chris badly and left it wisely at
that. Somehow, he could even understand the beast�s strange need to see his
little brother. They had spent almost all the time together in the shop. He had
roughly every time seen the beast with his brother or Chris around him
somewhere. Tetsu had even taken a bullet meant for Chris� hell, in Leon�s eyes
that made Tetsu safe enough to be around Chris in his books.
If looking
for one, D and Leon had just to search for the other in the past.
In time,
they had even joked about it. Tetsu was missing Chris and that was it. Leon
heard the squeal of his brother when he hung up his jacked away under the
questioning stare of Jill. �He followed me home?� Jill gave a snort, her eyes
still red from crying badly and the cheeks doted with red spots from it too.
�Followed
you home, huh? Just like that� �
He nodded.
�Was suddenly sitting onto my van, yes onto it. In all of his glory and tried
to scare me, the bastard goat from hell! Didn�t succeed much thought. Read up
on his kin as much as I could one day. Boy was I surprised! But no longer,
Jill. He is what he is, better dealing with such in time as in the future when
it comes and bites us in the ass.�
She nodded
to his words.
�Did the
same, actually on all the beasts I could remember hearing D name them in the
past. Cant say I was much relived after it either.� Both chose to change the
thematic of their talk and went on talking about dinner. Jill had shortly been
out and had bought groceries in the time Leon was gone. She told while he
changed that some druggy had shortly tried to steal them out of her car when
she brought back the wagon from the market to be chased away from her. Nothing
was stolen but she had to repack the steaks and some other meat that Jill had
bought and had fallen out of the bags as it looked to her. Walking down the
corridor to the kitchen, both ignored the soft sobs coming from Chris room.
Inside of
it the youth that had been the child brother of Leon and now was a teenager was
sobbing into the enduring coat of the at the ceiling staring Tetsu.
What was it
with those Orcrot�s to use him constantly as their tear pillow today?! One
would think that Chris had grown out of that darn habit of his� seemingly he
had not. A sigh left the beast before he gave it up to fool himself and went to
rather lick the tears from Chris face that, despise of still having him crying
was openly smiling at Tetsu with the same warm and honest smile of his.
Without an
ounce of fear concerning his former friend and acting not different from
before.
Tetsu, in
secret, marveled at that. Every other human would have given him already a look
of horror seeing his sharp fangs, deadly claws and pointed horns or his sheer
size. No luck for Tetsu here with the Orcrot brats. Not even one of them had
given him the pleasure, damnit! Moreover, to top it, that Jill woman had just
given him an odd stare and then had pointed to Chris room with her thumb.
Humans
these days didn�t knew what to fear on sight anymore, Tetsu decided with a
shake of his head� only to soon scratch that thought out to replace it for: all
other humans did actually still know it, but those that had to do with Leon and
his family somehow not. Those ones had somehow lost their marbles in his eyes,
not that he did mind it much.
He was
strangely rather glad that they didn�t fear him, as it usually was the case.
Especially
not Chris.
The boy had
damn grown since he had last seen him and had simply taken one look at him
before Tetsu had an armful of taller Chris hanging on his fur and crying into
it like mad. Today was simply not his day, the Tao Tie decided and left it at
that in the end. Fully content to be surrounded with Chris unique scent again.
Inside the
dark halls of the pet shop, D meanwhile read Tetsu�s rather frank note, telling
him that he was off to visit Chris, with an arched brow.
On his shoulder,
Pon Chan fumed before she calmed down again and sighed. At least the stupid
man-eater could have taken her with him she thought angrily and defeated at the
same time. Next to both, Ten stood in his human form and arched a brow at the
short message. Then he smirked. He silently wondered how many animals would
silently leave to visit a certain boy in the next days to come. All of them
would give the Kami a headache, he was sure.
Grinning he
shrugged before he went to tell the dragon sisters about it.
The ruckus
that followed would be worth the punishment later for certes!
Unknown to
all of it, Leon had in the meanwhile taken Daiyu out of her bed to change and
feed her. Tetsu saw him when he walked by Chris room after Chris went to the
bathroom to wash up. Thinking to have a long overdue bite out of the cop, he
followed Leon silently. Only to stop short when seeing him take the little girl
out of her bed.
He still
followed Leon stubbornly into the room to have a closer look at Daiyu.
The little
girl giggled happily at the man-eater while she was changed and feed from her
daddy. Seeing Leon like this put some real annoying thoughts into Tetsu�s head
that he forcefully ignored. Sometimes ignorance was bliss he realized. The
little princes was distracting. He had to give her credit for that ability.
She was
cute and still cute enough to eat in his opinion but he wisely chose not to
tell Leon about that.
Who knew,
he could have stored a gun away somewhere in the flat for all Tetsu did know
and trusted Leon for. That man was a cop through and through and would never
risk being unarmed. He even respected Leon for being dangerous in his own way.
He did protect his rag-tag family this way and Tetsu understood that at least,
very good.
In his
world such protection decided more often then not about the survival of the
next generation.
The surviving
of ones progeny and the continued existence of a species. As well did it to
have the ability to seize situations when given, to avoid complications, to stay
alive and have the strength to find and fight for a mate. All of that added
together in his line of seeing things. Leon had succeeded in the most of them
already in the past and now he did even more so in caring for his offspring. In
his own weird way, Tetsu respected the man.
Leon did
nothing to stop Tetsu to look at his little daughter, as inane as that was.
Well
knowing by now how dangerous he truly was and what Tetsu preferred as his main
diet. Leon war far beyond caring about those things in the moment. All he cared
for was that he felt no ill intent coming from Tetsu and that was enough. When
the beast suddenly blurred before his eyes Leon actually had to stop himself
from gapping openly at Tetsu. In a matter of moments there sat a teenager at
his feet and not the beast.
�So, you
can take on a human appearance at will?�
Tetsu
shrugged.
�More or
less, I suppose. My kind has a human form to their usage. Not as in possessing
a body only but in really being human in a way. We use it rather rarely
thought.� He told Leon calmly, fully absorbed in watching Daiyu. That was until
Chris came in and gasped and then fast darted over to the two to too sit down
at Leon�s feet.
Soon his
hand found its way into Tetsu�s and it staid there for the entire time the two
watched Leon and Daiyu.
The beast
made no comment on it and neither did he remove his hand again from Chris dead
grip on it. He looked rather content to Leon and he laughed softly inwardly at
the picture that the two made unknowingly. Finally, he burped Daiyu before he
let her down to crawl a little unsteadily over to Chris and Tetsu.
Instead,
the little mischievous sprite robbed, crawled over to the joined hands to
wiggle her body under them.
Finally
there she grinned widely up with a loud; �Ghuh!� Her antics made all of them
laugh. Tetsu begun to scratch her carefully minding his claw like nails what
had Daiyu soon laugh her baby laugh at him. The beast in human form grinned
widely at her happy reaction. Jup, the entire line of Orcrot�s was mad! Tetsu
decided this weird and wonderful ignorance of danger was obviously inheritable.
Daiyu just proved it to him once more.
Shaking his
head, he gave a look to Leon before he removed his hand from Chris and picked her
up.
Again, no
fear whatsoever. Another shaking of his head was the follow and had Leon
actually grin at his antics this time. Her hands soon found one of his horns to
hold onto; Tetsu just gave it up and stood with Leon to follow him to the
kitchen. Daiyu still securely held on his arm. She was barely more than a
toddler, Tetsu realized.
Barely a
year old, she was beginning to crawl now what had to be a hassle for Leon to
watch over.
He too had
listened to the story that D had discovered about her existence. That Leon had taken
her in and now cared for her was a plus in his eyes. Looking at her once more,
he found another Orcrot gen that seems to be dominant in the family. Their
eyes. One look at the picture of Daiyu�s mother told Tetsu that she had brown
eyes.
The Orcrot
genes struck again with giving Daiyu her blue eyes.
Those blue
eyes that reminded one at summer skies and the ocean. Leon�s mother had them,
Leon had them, Chris had them and now the little tyke had them too. Tetsu
nearly sniggered in his mirth on his way. At least she was not blond too, he
thought. She had her mothers black hair and porcelain skin from what he could
see.
With the
looks of her father, she would be a beauty when grown, worthy of a king.
This time
he did snigger. No chance in hell that D would let that precious marry anything
below if he ever got his hands on Daiyu, Tetsu was sure. The Kami was fussy in
such, especially when it concerned something or someone he did care about.
Daiyu, Tetsu was certain, would fast fill into that category.
Jepp, cute
enough to eat although a bit grabby if Tetsu was concerned he thought, while he
tried to pry her hands from his hair and horns with little success.
She had a
dead clutch on both he found out under the mirthful eyes of Leon and co. Jill
finally helped him to settle Daiyu into her chair. Looking at the food critically
and suddenly feeling nauseous from the underlying smells he could detect from
the steaks, Tetsu pointed at the pasta with vegetables and short grilled
steaks. �Who cooked this?� Leon�s eyebrow begun to twitch. �Not even in here
for a whole hour and mouths off already!� He groused while Jill gave Tetsu a curios
stare. �Me. Any problems with it?�
Tetsu shook
his head.
�Nope, just
checking, the idiot managed to burn even water before as far as I know of his
former cooking skills� He calmly stated out what had Leon give Tetsu a death
glare that was deliberately ignored. Tetsu still eyed the meat warily and Jill
gave a shrug and begun to serve the food by first taking on the noodles. �Yeah,
well, that�s true. Nowadays he is taking cooking classes. Believe it or not, he
turned out to be a better cook as thought.� Now she got a glare sent from Leon
who took the noodles from her with a growl.
Tetsu
sniffed at the steaks and to the surprise of all growled loudly before he suddenly
took the plate to throw all onto it into the trash bin with another snarl.
�Eh?!� Was
all that Leon could muster up before Tetsu went to the fridge and turned it
open to throw calmly the rest of the uncooked steaks away too.
�They are
smelling bad, Leon! I mean, really,� He gave Leon a pointed look. �really, bad!
Something is off with them, smell awfully a lot of almonds to my nose.� He
growled anew and packed another pack of meat into the trash bin after sniffing
on it.
Leon sat
down his utensils slowly and gave Jill a short alarmed look.
�Did you
eat from them already?� The now pale faced woman just shook her head in her shock
before she stood and went out of the kitchen to run to the bathroom. Seconds later,
they all heard her retch. Stress, Tetsu had no doubt as well he did not even
think of it that she had tried to poison them all by choice. From what he could
tell, she had been used unknowingly. �Hey Chris?� The boy looked equally pale
faced as Jill at Tetsu. �Yeah?�
�Why don�t
you go and bring her a new towel? She will need one, you know?� The youth
nodded and stood shakily up to do so while Leon called a friend to get them
pizza from the living room phone. After that, he called the police station to
make a report. Then he went and got all out of the bin again to pack it up into
plastic bags with Jill�s help who had come back again. Currently she cussed up
a storm.
Both worked
fast and effectively.
A short
while later Leon suddenly took Tetsu by the hand to the little storeroom he had
in the kitchen to show him the food stored there. There was nothing more that
smelled suspicious to him in here. The baby foodstuff was checked first, the
rest later. When the bell rung, he changed back into his animal form
seamlessly.
Outside the
door stood Hellersen with an unknown dog that had Leon's hairs in the neck
stand up seeing it and that practically screamed D to him. Without a word Dean
was grabbed and hauled into the flat while Leon hit the door close right after
him passing the doorsill. �Tetsu, move your darn ass here and tell me what that
beast outside my door is in real!�
Said Tao
Tie grinned when he trotted into the hallway.
*A helldog,
name is Khan. He is the appointed guardian from D for your friend. A dog demon
of some sorts, why the fuss?*
Leon had
steam practically coming out of his ears when hearing Tetsu telling him this
telepathically.
�Uhh,
Leon?� Dean looked confused at the cop. Leon gave his friend a short look.
�Remember what I told you about that Howell guy and the Chinese guy named Count
D?� The man nodded slowly and then suddenly tore Leon�s door open. �That slimy
bastard of an owner of yours tricked me, didn�t he?!� He unsuspectingly roared
down at Khan. Said helldog gulped seeing the same incensed look in both sets of
the men�s eyes.
Suddenly
Leon�s hand shoots out and had already grabbed his collar before even Khan
could object or react, to simply throw him inside too and then bang the door
shut.
Tetsu
watched Khan roll rather graceless into the hallway with a nasty snigger. It
earned him a glare from Khan. Then the helldog called it off and simply took
his human form right in the middle of Leon�s small and now a bit crowded
hallway. �Hey! No need to throw me around. I was just asked to watch over your
friend for a while since someone wants him dead too!�
Leon rolled
his eyes at that rather quickly.
�Yeah and
my granny has danced polka on the moon with the sandman before she went to
heaven. Suure, you are only here to guard his back� my ass!� He kneeled until
he could look Khan in the red eyes. �Who do you think to fool here, devil? I
know a bit more as before and a Helldog is a still a Demon spawn. One of the
worst cases of your kin to run across actually, my dear fiend!�
Said
helldog gave Leon a barely masked growl before he finally carved in and
shrugged.
�Still does
not change the spots, cop. I do what they ask of me, you should also know that
one. Moreover, to stop your next question in the beginning, no I am not
promised his soul for it. He is off limits to such as me. Dean has a pure soul
if that is telling you something.� He huffed and crossed his arms at Leon and
Dean�s now mutual stare.
Dean
suddenly felt a big headache coming on and rubbed his face while he stepped
over first Leon and then Khan to walk into the kitchen to sit down for a
moment.
Leon just
shrugged at his friend�s reaction before he too rose and went to the kitchen
again. �If you harm him, so help me god, I will hunt you down and kill you. Got
that?� Khan wisely did forego any pretense and nodded sharply. �Fully, I would
expect no less from you Leon Orcrot. The Kami even warned me that you would
most likely succeed if angered too much. And contrary to the usual believe, I do
value my existence.�
He slowly
rose himself to lean against the kitchen door in the end.
Daiyu,
still sitting in her chair and playing with a half eaten noodle cooed at the
hellspawn cutely.
�Khan arched a brow at that and then at Tetsu
who had changed back and now went to take her out of her chair calmly. �Welcome
to the world of the Orcrot�s and fellow friends of them, Khan. Where everything
seems to be possible and no one seems to react how they should.� He told Khan
cryptically and then he walked serenely out of the kitchen with Daiyu on his
arm to go to Chris room.
He left a
wholly befuddled hellhound and three equally mystified humans in his wake.
