Chapter 1

Zadei sighed in boredom as he sat behind the counter of the convenience store. Candi had called him to ask if he could cover her shift so that she could go on a date. He had been regretting saying yes for the last five and a half hours now. He could use the money, but it was just so irritating being here. Idiot customers who couldn’t find the products that they wanted, a drunk who got lost and couldn’t find the exit, and scores of giggling school girls who would never buy anything, they just stood around and watched Zadei. Hell, there were even a few guys who did the same.

It was uncanny how they always seemed to find out when he was working, especially since he didn’t have any set hours. He just filled in when someone else couldn’t make it.

He didn’t really mind the job. A complete moron could do it, as evidenced by some of his coworkers. And besides, it was an easy place to hook up. There was always a couple of the girls or guys willing to wait around until the end of his shift so he could drag them to the motel for a quick fuck before tossing them out on their asses. After he’d had sex with them they never came back, but it didn’t matter. There were always more than enough hanging around for him to entertain himself with, and he certainly wasn’t looking for someone who would want an actual relationship. There had been one boy once who had decided to hound him for a couple of days until Zadei had finally had to punch him to get rid of him.

But Zadei just wasn’t in the mood today. He’d had to cover a shift at the gas station this morning and had just made it in the door of his apartment when he’d gotten the call from Candi. He would have refused, but she was an all right person. And she was always available for a nice romp, no strings attached, if he was feeling restless.

Zadei growled and looked at the clock again. Fifteen more minutes, then he could get the hell out of here. Away from these people, who’s voices were beginning to grate on his nerves, and finally get some sleep. The only really good thing about today was that he had some more money to pay back to Clive. At least the bastard hadn’t bothered to come back to town for a few months so Zadei had been living mostly harassment free.

The bells on the front door jingled and Zadei looked up to see his replacement,Tag, walk in. Heaving a sigh of relief Zadei stood and jumped over the counter. “Place is all yours, Tag. I’m heading home. If you see Candi tell her not to call me until tomorrow. I’m zonking out for the night.”

“Can do.”

“Oh, and Tag.” Zadei turned back with a fierce grin. He lowered his voice so that only Tag could hear him. “Take it easy on the school girls this time. It’d be nice if there were some left for me on my next shift.”

Tag snickered, “Yeah sure, Zadei.”

Zadei sighed and turned to go, giving a flippant wave over his shoulder. He had to push his way through the gaggle of school girls and by the time he had gotten outside his mood was considerably fouler. Fucking hell. Stupid whiny brats. A couple of harsh words and I’d bet the entire group would start bawling. Pathetic. He continues to snarl under his breath and looked back at the store to make sure that no one was following him. God, what a mess he’d be in if those irritating girls found out where he lived. Just as he turned back to face forward he ran straight into someone, who tumbled to the ground before him.

Tetius had been walking aimlessly for hours now. He had left the hospital with no destination in mind and had taken off in an arbitrary direction. He felt slightly guilty. He had promised his grandmother that he would take a cab and go straight home after all, but his mind was in turmoil.

The doctors had said that his grandmother’s stroke had been mild and that she would make a full recovery. He had even been allowed a short visit so that he could speak to her. She had been tired but had seemed well enough. Not that that would help Tetius to escape the horrible memories he was now reliving.

Tetius’ hands were trembling as he wrapped his arms around himself. It was late spring so the night air was very warm, unfortunately the heat did nothing to calm Tetius’ shaking. Tetius lowered his head so that his hair would hide the tears that he was now unable to stop. So many horrible memories were assaulting him. He gave a choked sob and turned the corner slamming into a hard wall that knocked him backwards onto the ground.

“Hey, watch it.” Tetius heard a sharp voice from above him and realized that he had walked into a young man. He couldn’t even bring himself to get back up, as he mumbled an apology to the person he had just hit.

Zadei glanced down to see exactly who had just walked into him. It was a young girl who was now sitting crumpled at his feet with her head bowed, long platinum tresses veiling her face from view. Her shoulders were trembling and Zadei could hear tears choking the soft apology that she offered. Zadei sighed and reached down to help her up. She didn’t move to take his hand and Zadei felt his anger melt into slight concern. Maybe he had hurt her.

“Hey, are you all right?” Zadei squatted down so that he was at her level. “Let me help you up. Are you hurt?”

“No” The answer was so quiet that Zadei could barely hear it. He reached out his hand again. The girl took it carefully and Zadei pulled her to her feet. “Thank you. I’m sorry that I… ran into you. I should have been watching where I was going.”

“Yeah, well… just be more careful.” Zadei bent down so that he could see her face. Her eyes were damp and there was a soft blush across the bridge of her nose. She was definitely crying, but it looked like she had been doing so for quite a while now. Her skin was pale, and her face very finely featured. It took Zadei a moment to realize that he was staring before he dropped her hand. “See ya!”

He moved past her and turned the corner to head for his apartment. Jesus, what a looker. I wonder why she was crying? I hate it when girls cry. They get all splotchy and the sound just drives me nuts. …She wasn’t like that though. Her nose was a little red but she still looked great. I’ve never seen her before, I wonder if she’s new here? It’s kind of strange to see someone like that walking around alone in this neighborhood.

Zadei had gotten about two blocks before he realized that he was actually worried about her. God dammit. Why do I care? She’s probably just some spoiled little bitch who had a fight with daddy. He let out a frustrated sigh and dropped his head. But, I don’t want anything bad to happen to her…. I’ll just go and watch her to make sure she’s all right. She doesn’t need to know I’m there.

Zadei turned and ran back the way he had come. She wasn’t in front of the store so he continued on a few blocks but stopped when he overheard a couple of homeless men talking.

“That was one cute little girl. Wouldn’t mind getting a piece of that.”

“Doesn’t matter. She’s probably blocks away by now. Someone else will have grabbed her. It’s kind of too bad. Sweet thing like that, I sure hope they don’t kill her after they’re done with her.”

Zadei grabbed the first man by the collar. “Where? Where did you see her? Do you know where she went?” He couldn’t understand why he cared so much. She was just some random person he’d bumped into. He didn’t even know her name.

The old man choked and grabbed at Zadei’s arm. “I think she was going to head towards the park. I’m pretty sure that’s where she went. Why’d you let someone like her wander around this part of town alone?” Zadei growled and shoved the old man back to the ground before running towards the park.

Tetius was so tired, he just wanted somewhere to sit down. He had been wandering for hours crying. He felt emotionally and physically drained. If that young man that he had walked into hadn’t helped him up he probably would have just stayed there on the sidewalk.

Tetius raised his eyes to scan the buildings around him. Maybe there was a café, or someplace where he could sit for awhile. The buildings around him didn’t look very inviting. Most were closed and shuttered. There was one that was open, but it looked like a bar and Tetius wasn’t old enough to get inside, so he continued walking.

He noticed a couple of gentlemen who looked down on there luck sitting in the doorway of an old apartment building. “Um, excuse me.” The men didn’t even glance up in response. “Could you tell me if there is somewhere nearby where I could sit down for awhile?”

The one man looked up and just stared at Tetius for a moment before elbowing the other man in the side. The other man glanced up as well before answering. “There’s a park about two blocks south of here. You could probably find a bench there.”

Tetius turned to look to the south. He could just make out a few trees in the distance. He turned back to the two men and forced a grateful smile onto his face. “Thank you very much. Here. You probably need this more than I do.” He reached into his pocket and pulled out two twenty dollar bills. He handed one to each of the men, before turning to follow the road to the park. The two old men stared after him as he was swallowed up in the darkness.

By the time Tetius reached the park he was about ready to collapse. He could feel his tears welling up again and struggled to hold them in until he reached the first bench and dropped onto it sobbing₁. He had been crying for almost ten minutes when he felt someone sit down beside him on the bench and touch his shoulder.

Zadei saw the girl as soon as he entered the park. She was sitting on the bench sobbing into her hands, her hair was hanging limp across her knees. Zadei hadn’t realized just how long it was the first time he saw her. She was hunched over on the bench and her platinum tresses were pooled on the ground around her feet₂.

Zadei gave a sigh of relief that she was unharmed. He felt an inexplicable weight lift from his heart at the sight of her safe and sound. But she was crying again, and Zadei wanted to know why. He walked over to the bench and cleared his throat, but the girl didn’t look up. Zadei rolled his eyes and dropped down onto the bench beside her. She still didn’t react so he reached over and laid a hand on her shoulder.

The girl’s sobs hitched as she looked up at Zadei. He felt his breath catch in his throat as he stared into her soft moss green eyes. He took a deep breath and tried to give her a gentle smile. She stared back into his eyes, sniffling softly, as tears continued to run down her cheeks.

“You… You’re the man from the street. sniff. Why are you here?” She was still staring into his eyes, and he couldn’t bring himself to look away.

“I… I was… worried about you.” Zadei cursed himself for stumbling over his words. Why was this girl affecting him like this? He cleared his throat and tried again. “This isn’t exactly the safest neighborhood, and you didn’t look like you were from around here. Do you have somewhere to go?”

She sighed and turned away, sniffling again. “I’m not sure where I am, but I don’t think I’m anywhere near home. I’ve been walking for hours, and I’m not even certain what direction I headed after leaving the hospital. I suppose I could call a cab if there are any phones around here.”

“Well sure. Let’s find you a phone and get you home. It’s probably going to start raining soon anyway.” Zadei stood and extended a hand to the girl who took it and allowed him to help her to her feet. He began to lead her out of the park, not noticing that he had yet to let go of her hand. The silence was beginning to feel stifling. “So, um, do you live alone?”

He felt the girl stop moving behind him and turned to see what the problem was. She had her free hand covering her mouth and was trying desperately to stifle a new bout of sobs.

Zadei dropped her hand suddenly. “Shit, what is it? Did I say something?” He saw the girl shake her head slowly as she continued to try to keep herself from crying. He reached out to carefully push her hair away from her face. “Oh, Jesus. Don’t try to hold it in. Come here.”

Zadei pulled the girl into his arms and held her against his chest as she began to cry again. He could feel her entire frame trembling and gently began to stroke her hair. He hadn’t realized just how much shorter than him she was. Her head tucked perfectly under his chin as he continued to hold her. He could feel her sobs dying off as she began to lean more of her weight against him. “Hey, are you ok now?”

There was no response so he carefully tilted her face back so that he could see her. He couldn’t believe it. She was asleep. She had cried herself to sleep in his arms. He sighed and shifted her against him while he tried to figure out what to do. I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to let her sleep at my place. She said that she’s been walking for hours so she’s probably from nowhere near here. Ok. I’ll take her home with me and she can catch a cab tomorrow.

Zadei shifted the girl against himself again getting ready to pick her up when he realized something. He couldn’t feel her breasts pressed against him. Slightly confused he reached down to brush his hand across her chest. Nothing. Feeling suddenly stupid he let his hand drift lower to brush across her crotch. Oh, yeah. She definitely wasn’t a she₃. Oh well. It’s not like it changes my plans any. Zadei thought as he lifted the boy into his arms and proceeded to carry him home.

TBC

1- Crying is my favourite look for Tetius and I use it frequently in this story. My second favourite is embarrassed, followed by angry.

2- I’ve always thought that Tetius looks better with long hair. There is one picture in Kinku (the first page I think) where his hair is so long I get the impression that it would almost brush the ground if he were standing.

3- Tetius’ character seemed much more feminine in the first three manga. Towards the end of the series he seemed to lose that quality.
