Tough Love

Chapter 2

Shido arrived at his house and went to talk to his animals and see if they could help him with this little dilemma he was having at the moment.

"Sigh....what should I do I mean I really hate him but when he finally came to I couldn't stop looking at those eyes of his.....I don't know why I did that.....what do you think huh."

Shido finished as he looked at the group of animals that were lying next to him. They all were listing to his problem and were thinking about what to do until one animal spoke.

"I think you should go with what your instincts tell you that's what I do."

"What are you talking about he shouldn't even think about having feelings for anyone especially that Snake man."

"How do you know if it is him anyway what were you spying on him or something?"

"Well who ever it is you shouldn't let it bother you."

"Hey I know how about you go on a vacation so you can clear your mind and relax."

Shido just sat their listing to his animals talk and agree that he should go on a vacation. But where would he go.

"So you guys want me to go on a vacation huh well where to then?"

The animals thought for a minute all trying to think of a great place for Shido to go until they answered at the same time.

"To the beach."

Shido looked at his animals for a minute and took in their idea and thought that maybe he should go to the beach after all he could use some sun and getting away from that snake charmer is a major plus. He sighed and nodded his head in agreement finally agreeing to go.

"But what about you guys I can't leave you all here alone I mean who will feed you and take care of you while I'm gone?"

"Hey what about that tall blonde lady?"

"No I don't think she will I mean she is always out looking for jobs for the recovery service."

"Well how about Himiko, or Kazuki, or Jubbei, or...."

"No they won't there probably traveling like they always do."

The animals were really stumped on this one they couldn't think of someone who could watch them until a little black pup who was sitting on Shido's lap spoke.

"What about Mozart's owner?"

Shido froze at the mention of the dog's name and his face suddenly lost color and realized that he hadn't seen Monica in a long time but maybe she would be kind enough to watch his animals while he was away....he just hoped she was home.

"Yea I like her she was nice I really liked her house it was huge and we could run around all day with out getting into trouble."

All the animals agreed and looked at Shido who looked like he was fighting with his thoughts so the pup that was in his lap licked his hand to get his attention.

Shido jumped at the contact and looked around to see his animals looking worried but he shook it off and smiled kindly back at them trying to reassure them that everything was fine.

"Huh oh it's ok guys I'm fine....so you guys want to stay at Monica's then?"

They all answered happily while Shido smiled and went to call her still hoping that she said yes to his request.

Ban was headed towards Shido's house all the while thinking about how to say sorry about yelling at him and might as well thank him for catching him when he fell oh and find out what the hell happened when he fainted.
