Chapter 5: Circles Part Three

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS. THEY ARE THE EXCLUSIVE PROPERTY OF THEIR CREATORS

(Luxray)

I frowned deeply as I watched Pengu head to Sukura's room and when Sukura headed to the shower I thought about cornering him but I dismissed the urge. They did have a right to their own secrets but it seemed like whatever had happened today had left some deep emotional scars on them both.

Still when I started to smell blood from the bathroom I began to worry. The smell seemed to fade after a bit and I sighed with relief. After he dressed and headed out I passed him a roll of bandages. He shrugged and said "Thank you." before heading back to his room.

Before he closed the door I saw Pengu on his bed waiting for him and I decided that if it was really bothering them that they would talk to me eventually. I decided to make a sandwhich and got out the ingridents from the fridge.

Once I had eaten I flipped on the TV in my bedroom and settled down to enjoy some Buffy The Vampire Slayer. After a few episodes I turned off the TV and then went to get a glass of milk. I gulped it down and then afterwards I headed to bed.

(Pengu)

Once Sukura had closed the door and locked it he leaned against it and sighed heavily."I think it would be beneficial to avoid further involvement with The Movement." He said wearily as he looked over to me. I nodded and patted the bed beside me. "Are you gonna be ok?" I asked him. He moved to sit down beside me and shrugged. I honestly don't know Pengu."

He softly grabbed my paw and I looked at him with a question in my eyes. "I do know that I can't bear the thought of you getting hurt. I don't know why I feel this way but whenever you need me don't hesitate to ask." He gave my paw a gentle kiss before asking "Would you like to spend the night here?"

I blushed fiercely and shook my head no. "I-I'm gonna head back to my room." I mumbled and quickly unlocked the door and made an exit.

(Sukura)

I watched him go with a small smile on my muzzle. "He is very cute when he blushes" I thought to myself and felt my smile widen. Then I thought back on what I said to him just minuets before. I had no regrets and meant every word I said.

I was beginning to care for the Wolf. I wanted to be more then friends despite only knowing him for a few days now. I seemed to be drawn to him and I am happier when we are together.

I thought back to when I had to use my flowers today and the strain it put on my body. If I needed them in the future I would need a way to increase my stamina. There was also the sword. I don't know exactly how I created it and while it did react to my blood it didn't seem to react to anything else.

It did seem to carry the same intelligence as my flowers did so I decided to try something. I held the sword carefully in both paws and pictured it clearly in my mind.Earlier when I had controlled the flowers they had gotten my commands from my mind. Quite simply I thought  it and they did it. I wanted to try a similar approach with  the sword. 

In the empty space of my mind I thought "Can you hear me?"  I waited for a few moments and a  cautious reply emerged. "Yes we can hear you. What do you need?"  I smiled and my happiness must have transmitted to the flowers cause the sense of caution that I had gotten from them lessened a bit.

"I do not need anything at present. I just wondered how come you didn't rejoin my body with the other flowers."  There was a long pause after my question and I waited patiently as I studied the black surface of the blade. "We are stuck in this shape our and cannot return to our former selves. We can still serve you though." I nodded and set the sword against the wall and left it there. "I bid you a good night and I hope you sleep well."

I yawned and slipped under the covers and the sweet embrace of darkness soon had me snoring fitfully.

When the early morning sunshine peeked into my bedroom it found me already gone. I left a note on the counter for Pengu and Sukura to let them know I was going out. Two Hours later I pulled up to what appeared to be a bakery.

 I smiled at the human behind the counter and asked "How much for a danish?" She started clearly not used to serving furries yet. "$4.50 Sir." She punched the numbers into the cash register. I nodded and paid. When my order arrived I asked "Is Lucious in?" while watching her face carefully.

Her poker face was magnificent and she nodded "I'll check to see if he is in. May I ask your name sir?"  "Tell him Luxray is here." I said and she nodded and ducked into the back of the store. I bit into the blueberry creme danish and chewed thoughtfully as I gathered my thoughts.

Soon a man joined me wearing a black suit. He had and air of importance about him and his voice was rich and deep. "Hello Luxray. What brings you here today?" "My two new tenants seemed to have run into trouble yesterday. One of them thankfully had some modifications done during the surgery and was able to protect them both."

His expression grew tense. "Just what are you implying?" "I'm implying that one of the groups in this city targeted them for no apparent reason. While I realize it takes time for you to consider applications of new members I would like to submit their names." "You wish for them to join the protectorate?" I nod and he looks at me for a few minuets.

"Give us their names and after three days we will contact you again." He said moving to get up. "I would keep your agents out of sight. Sukura is going to be unusually attentive the next few days. He is the blue fox. Pengu is a black wolf and I wouldn't bet against either one of them." I cautioned as I finished my danish. He nodded curtly and walked away.

Since I was out I decided to do some grocery shopping and after that I headed home. When I arrived I was surprised to see Sukura run out to help me with the groceries. Then I remembered that It was the weekend and they didn't have school. Between the two of us we managed to get everything put away.

.

"Did you eat yet?" I asked him. "No not really. I was meditating all morning. It kinda blunts my hunger." he said with a small smile. From behind him came a yawn and I glanced back to see Pengu headed towards the shower. "Are you gonna be ok?" I asked and he started before saying "Yes I think that we will be." He was blushing and there was a definite tenderness in his eyes.

It wasn't that hard to put two and two together. "Are you crushing on him?" I asked a coy smile on my lips. "I might be." He said softly still watching the closed bathroom door. I snapped my fingers in front of his face and he blinked a bit before looking at me.

I luaghed and said "Yep your in love." "I promised myself I would protect him Luxray. If the situation arises again I intend to be better prepared." I raised an eyebrow at that.

"How will you managed that?" I asked He sighed and said "I barley managed to handle using my flowers last time. I want to work on my staminia there and then perfect various ways to attack or defend with them." He defintely sounded determined and feirce determination showed in his eyes. I almost took a step back but cuaght myself just in time.

"I wish you luck Sukura. Just don't get cuaght." I said and he nodded absently while beginning to fix himself some chicken noodle soup.
