Another Quicky. I changed this Chapter a tiny bit from the original. I wanted to make Todd not so "LUCY! I'm HOOOME!" And a little more tactful XDDD Oh well.


Kojin's breath was rasping as he ran back through the woods, his sneakers catching on the dense underbrush as he took off almost completely blind into the darkness.Where was Evan when he needed him!! Stumbling and gasping the boy made his way back to the path he came from only wishing that the stranger wasn't right behind him ready to attack.

"Ouch!" sticking his thumb into his mouth Rhapsody sucked on the small cut the pocket knife had made. His dark eyes flitting from the wooden bird he was carving to the clock and back. Kojin was late, it made him nervous.Getting up he placed the carving down and looked out the window into the inky night. The sun had set more then an hour ago and there wasn't any sign of the small boy. Dragging calluses fingers through raven hair the dragon began to pace as he did so often when Kojin wasn't around. It was hard for him to do anything but think negative thoughts about what had happened to the poor boy. He was far to naive and trusting to be out on his own!Making up his mind to go fin the brat Rhapsody turned and grabbed his jacket, slipping it on as he opened the door to find Kojin sitting just outside Sobbing.
"Ko-"
"I.....didn't wanna wake you up..." Kojin said softly. His jeans torn and tattered as he shivered against the railing on the small porch,"I thought that....You were asleep...I-" before anything else was said Rhapsody had already scoped Kojin up into a hug stroking his head and wrapping his arms around him so tight that the boy couldn't breath for a moment.
"Don't EVER do that again!!" Rhapsody scolded wanting to punish and at the same time lavish affection on the boy in front of him,"I thought....I thought....What..What happened to your lip?" wiping blood from the boy's mouth Rhapsody begain to act more like a mother hen then usual,"Come inside Now. We need you to get out of those clothes and to take care of that cut."
"Your....Your not gonna yell at me?" Kojin asked his eyes huge orbs of sadness. Shaking his head the dragon sighed.
"Come on. Inside. We'll talk later. I need to take care of that first."

Once inside the room Kojin sat down on the edge of the bed, his Large T-shirt and PJ pants rolled up to fit." Rhapsody....You don't have to worry about me so much..." the dragon was already coming back with Peroxide and bandages for the boy.
"You know I'm gonna worry about you...This is gonna sting so hold still..."
Kojin pushed the other man away and curled up on the bed,"Kojin! Come here and let me treat that! What did you do anyways?"
"..............."
"Kojin?...."Rhapsody froze hearing little sobs coming from Kojin. The boy was...crying again....

"I hate you!!" he muttered sitting up and flinging his arms around Rhapsody crying his eyes out as he let the events of the night spill from his lips. Hiccuping as he finished Kojin set back on his knees and looked at the dragon as he wiped his face off on the extra long sleeves of his night shirt."Evan....He....I...He kept touchin' me and stuff. I was so freaked out! Why didn't you....I...I can't be mad at you though I...I'm...so stupid...."Rhapsody wasn't listening anymore though His face was red with anger and his long hair was like a curtain hiding his features.
"Kojin.....Stay here."
"What?" the dragon stood and pulled the window open stepping up into the open night Rhapsody turned and placed his hand along Kojin's Chin,"Stay here for me okay?" he said softly before dropping down into the night with a roar.

Todd flinched under the window when Rhapsody dropped down and Pinned him to the wall.His fangs glimmering as he spat at the other man,"How dare you show your ******** up face around Here!" the younger growled, his eyes smoldering in there depths. Todd slicked back his mousy hair and grinned,"Oh I didn't do anything too traumatizing to that little one. He wasn't even a mouthful though so It was tempting to just pop him into my mouth like a marshmello-GAHH!" Rhapsody had picked his older brother up by his neck, his nails extended into claws as they held his collarbone in place. Todd grimaced and chuckled.
"He must mean a lot to you if your all protective like some mother dragon."
"Go away. I won't have you doing any...any...Anything! To Kojin!"
"Evan?" Kojin's soft voice floated down from the open window,"Evan what's going on!"
"I said Stay There!" Rhapsody spat letting Todd down and slapping him across the face as hard as he could,"Come near the boy again and I'll make DAMN sure you regret it!" he hissed his features relaxing and becoming more human once again.
"PMS doesn't suit you Little brother...." Todd hacked rubbing his collar and neck,"You have my word I won't touch your little love...errr.....thingy."
Rhapsodyy glared once more before jumping back up into the window coming face to face with Kojin. Picking the boy up he placed him into the bed, dispite his struggling and yelling to be put down, and tucked him in.
"Sit down and sleep." Rhapsody said kissing Kojin's forehead,"We're leaving in the morning." Rhapsody turned off the light and sat down in the chair facing it towards the window while the boy didn't make a sound for a long moment.
"Evan....Who was that.....?"
"A nightmare. Now go to sleep." Rhapsody said steely as he watched the window in front of him,"Please try and Sleep Ko-gee."
"Alright..." Kojin said rolling over in the bed and pulling the covers over his head.
