After Satoshi made his little announcement he noticed that Kazu fell silent, his tail flicking around as chewed his lips. Satoshi noticed that his life mate’s eyes were filled with fear even as he swept to his feet and marched out through the door in the wall into their apartment.

“I’d better go after him” Satoshi said and Jun just gave a nod looking as troubled as Kazu did. The artist flicked his tail saying that he would see Jun later, the ad-man just gave another nod still without speaking. Satoshi went into his own apartment and found Kazu pacing backwards and forwards his tail spiked up and his ears twitching around.

“Kazu… Kazu, what’s wrong?” Satoshi asked and Kazu spun around his eyes blazing a little

“What do you mean ‘What’s wrong?’ They’re going to lock us up!” He hissed his ears twitching frantically with worry as he stared at Ohno “Don’t you understand that? They’ll lock us up and run tests on our brain!”

“You think me or Jun would let you and Nino be taken away?” Satoshi asked in a soothing voice, taking his hand and holding it tightly, surprised by how scared Kazu sounded. He was always so cock sure of himself that Satoshi felt his amazement was justified Kazu though looked irritated.

“Satoshi, I’m sure that you and… Him… would do everything possible to stop them but how would you be able to stop them when they try to take us?” He snapped pulling his hand away and stalking to the chair in the corner of the room. Unlike Jun and Nino’s apartment, which was like an organised chaos, everything in their apartment already had a place and thanks to Satoshi’s skills with a paint brush was almost finished. There was only one room that Kazu wasn’t allowed in yet, the bedroom, because he was doing a special wall of art just for his life mate. It was almost finished but not quite, Satoshi had been planning on finishing it that afternoon but then he had gotten the call from Sho.

“Kazu… it’s Sho’s uncle…He’s just a researcher nothing more…”

“A man that has been discredited… A man that has a lot to gain by proving that it is possible the ‘Fate Twins’ were real… Even if they don’t lock us up and he publishes some article about us being the reincarnation of Takumi and Takuya can you imagine how many fruity loops are going to be after us because they want to meet the children of the fates?” Kazu asked and Satoshi blinked feeling as if a cold shower had been switched on around him. He stared at his lover realising that he was speaking with some sort of sense, his own tail flicked as he thought about it. It seemed that Sho’s uncle had lost everything because of his claims about the twins being reborn as one entity, he was very possible that he would want to exploit Kazu and Nino because of that. There was also enough of a mystery surrounding his and Jun’s life mates that it would add fuel to the fire and that was why Kazu was so worried. Satoshi had tried asking him about his parents once and although he and Masaki could remember them neither could remember what had happened to them. There was also the mystery surrounding his sister / Guardian and where she was. She was meant to have gone travelling with her life mate but not once had they heard from her and as far as Satoshi was aware Kazu hadn’t tried to contact her once.

“Kazu… Who is your sister really?”

“What do you mean? She’s my sister” Kazu answered with a huff, and Satoshi shook his head his fluffy sandy ears shaking as always as he moved closer to him

“She told Masaki that she wasn’t your sister… That she was more like your guardian… So what is she really?” He asked kneeling close his life mate and rubbing his hands with his nose and cheek.

“She is my sister… And my guardian… After my parents died she became my guardian…” Kazu said his hand automatically going to his ear and rubbing it gently.

“So when did your parents die?”

“When I was younger… I keep telling you that I don’t remember it…” Kazu answered hotly his hand falling away. Satoshi was feeling guilty that he was pushing this but he knew Kazu was just a worried about the gaps in his childhood memories.

“So why haven’t you tried to contact her or why hasn’t she tried to send you a single postcard?” Satoshi asked wondering why Kazu wouldn’t just admit it, at least to him

“Because we’ve never been close like that” the black and white Nekomen shrugged as if it wasn’t a big deal.

“She raised you didn’t she?” Satoshi pointed out and Kazu glared while chewing his lip “I know you’re worried but don’t you want to know one way or the other?”

“No! I just want to be able to be me…Kazunari Ohno… And I want Nino to be happy as Nino Matsumoto… I don’t want to mess anything up… What happens if… As stupid as it may sound what if we are the fates children? What happens then?” Kazu hissed “I just want to be able to be with you… Satoshi… I don’t want anything else…”

“I don’t either” Satoshi mumbled his mouth going dry as he thought about what Kazu was saying.

“Then why… Why don’t we just ignore going there tomorrow? Why not just carry on with our plan of living here with the pervert and the idiot next door?” Kazu said his voice softer now his eyes pleading with him and Satoshi rested his head on his lap rubbing his thigh with his cheek as he nodded.

“Okay… If that’s what you want…Kazu… I promise you don’t have to go…” He said kissing his hands a few times, he felt Kazu tense against him and he flicked his eyes up seeing that his life mate was staring down at his eyes narrowed.

“But you’re still going too aren’t you?” he asked and Satoshi nodded

“Yes…”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t want to be separated from you either… So I want to know as much about this as possible so we don’t have to worry that something isn’t going to ruin it for us later…” Satoshi told him truthfully. He hadn’t told Kazu but a few days ago he had had a nightmare about Kazu vanishing and when he had woken up he had been determined to find out as much as possible so that would never happen. Kazu gave a loud sigh pulling at his ears and Satoshi kissed his legs with a smile wanting him to understand that he was just as worried about this as he was but he had to know.  He knew people thought that he was a pretty useless life mate but he was determined to prove to Kazu at least that he wasn’t

“Fine… I’ll come with you…” Kazu muttered “But if this guy is a weirdo we’re leaving straight away…”

“Thank-you, Kazu…” Satoshi said getting up and pulling him to his feet and into a hug

“What?” Kazu said with a grin but the artist smiled bringing their lips together picking him up and wrapping his legs around his waist holding his ass around the base of his tail, he might not be able carry him princess style like Jun could with Kazu but he enjoyed the feel of Kazu’s lips on his heart thudding against him “Satoshi…Where are we going?” his life mate asked and Satoshi smiled

“You’ll see” He said carrying him slowly to the bedroom only just managing to hook his foot around the handle and push it open with his hip. He hit the light with his elbow “Look around…” He whispered nervously in Kazu’s ear and Kazu did as he was told his breath catching in his throat as he looked at the wall. It was a recreation of his most famous paintings, the fated mates sitting on the wall their tails intertwined as they looked down at the river of their lives, this time though although it wasn’t finished it was obvious that it was Satoshi and Kazu sat there their hands and tails locked together. The river of memories was few but there was space for more

“Wow… I think this is a million and one times better than the one you won all those awards for…” Kazu muttered his arms tightening and Satoshi blushed

“It’s not finished yet…” he mumbled and Kazu laughed pressing his lips down onto his face and eyes before reaching his lips his rough tongue lapping at his bottom lip. “Kazu…”

“…I just want you to hold me and tell me that it will be okay…” Kazu said getting down and tugging him to the bed. Satoshi was happy that he was able to see such a defenceless  side to his life mate that did as he was told holding him tightly promising him that nothing bad was going to happen, trying to convince himself at the same time.
