Riku smiled and held Dakota tightly. He looked at Kyin and mouthed the words: Why? You know Brian will kill me. Riku looked at Dakota and a sudden rush of want came over him. He wanted to keep Dakota happy and to pretect him from eerything that had caused him pain. he looked at Dakota and lightly kissed his head. "Alright.. Come on.. let's get you to our house. Kyin will wait outside with you while I get our dad to fall asleep..." He smiled and stood up, carrying Dakota as he did so. "Come on Kyin. You lead."

Kyin smiled adn looked at Dakota. He shifted into a beagle dog and walked toward their house. His father loved beagles adn knew that this would help to ease what Riku was about to face at home. Probably a drunk man that wants to get anger out because the mom was a bread winner adn he was unemployed.

Dakota looked up to Riku and kissed him on the mouth lightly,returning the kind gesture.Smiling affectionately,he felt safe and steady with him.Like everything would be okay.Then he turned to Kyin,his eyes flashed venom yellow.Instinct of lust filled him,his heart raced and his breathe quickened just at the thought of him.Shaking his head he turned away trying to shake the feeling once again but he couldnt contain it.The feeling of guilt was still in him and he felt such a bond with Riku.But Kyin.....Kyin he felt like he needed.The gulped and closed his eyes unsure what to do,he was so confused.turning to Riku :you dont have to carry me" he smiled and jumped down walking side by side.Then grabbing Riku;s hand to hold it as he looked away in the distance.

Riku held Dakota's hand. "you know.. Dakota... I'm half dog... so I know when your uneasy... And I'm pretty sure it has to do with me and my brother. He's always there to take what I have... And at times, it's kind of frustrating.. I've never had something of my own anyways.." He continued to walk to the house. As they reached the gate, a man flung a beer bottle at the siblings and dakota. Riku sheilded Dakota as it came to hit Riku's back. He winced and turned his head to see his father in a rage. He pushed Dakota gently to Kyin, who had shifted into his human form. He walked up to his father. "Brian.. Sorry we are home late we got distracted b-" Riku was cut off when his 'dad' grabbed his neck and held Riku up by the throat. Riku held the man's hand in his and struggled to gain his freedom. This wasn't teh first time this happened, but with Riku being stronger than before, Brian had increased the amout of pressure on Riku.

He flailed his feet and finally landed a solid kick to his dad's stomach. He kicked off and landed on his knees and hands. He panted and coughed, not being able to catch his breath before Brian came with a rope in his hands. Riku looked up as the rope was whipped across his face. Riku grabbed the rope and twisted it around his faather's hands and neck. He panted and pulled his dad down into teh grass. "You stay here.." He noticed Kyin had already taken Dakota. "damn.. Your gunna be mad when you wake up.." riku brought back his hand and punched his father square between his eyes. He ran inside adn up to their room.

Kyin held Dakota tightly as he climbed up a ladder that hung from their window. He reached the top and held Dakota tightly. He pushed Dakota gently through before he climbed in himself. "And you see what Riku goes through daily.. Or.. at least weekly? That's why he likes being a shifted.. Being able to shift into another form then back and not having wounds.. You should ask him to show you his form with the wounds.. It looked pretty cool.."

Dakota felt a punch to the stomache when Riku brought it up,making him feel stung with guilt and sadness.He gulped,turning to look at Riku then away again.He took a step back into Kyin as their father threw the bottle a shiver of fear went through him.Loking away and following with Kyin.Being so close with him made his heart race.Dakota couldnt deny the lust that he felt for Kyin,He wanted Kyin More than Riku no matter how selfish he felt.WHen they were now in the room off the ladder he got face to face with Kyin,so close he could feel kyins breath on his face.Dakota's eyes turned sulfur yellow once more.His mind screamed to stop but he couldnt ignore his heart and body no matter how wrong it all seemed.Closing his eyes Pressing his lips against Kyins lightly a rush of ecstacy rain through his veins,his pulse quikened even more,he had never had a kiss like this.Putting his arm around Kyins lower waist.The pulling away quickly,as the thought of kyin's reaction shot through him.He looked down in away "im sorry,i shouldnt have....i just...i like you,alot....the way i feel when im around is,intense.Thats no excuse...im sorry Kyin....im soo sorry,this isnt like me i swear" His voiced cracked and sounded as if he was going to cry.He messed up....so much.

Riku ran up the stairs and into the room that his brother and Dakota were in. He closed adn locked the door quickly. His face was streaming blood and sat down on the floor. His hand hurt from punching his father in the face and his throat hurt from being squeezed to such an extent. He collaped and shifted into his wolf form. He shifted back and his face was cleared and the feeling in his throat was less. He looked at Dakota. "hey... are you.. crying?" he crawled over and wrapped his arms around Dakota. "What in hell did you do to him Kyin?!" he shot at his brother. His eyes red (literally) with rage and his pupils narrowed into slits.

Kyin laughed and looked at his brother. "I did nothing! You can't blame this on me! We just got up here and he fell over and his voice caracked and whatnot.. Man.. You are so possesive about some things.." He growled slightly and walked to the bed that the two shared. He opened the drawer under the bed and grabbed 3 pairs of pajama bottoms and 2 tops. He stripped his pants and placed his pajamams on. This will give Dakota something to go gaga over... He stripped his top to reveal his chest and abs. He stretched and looekd at DAkota. "Get ready to sleep DAkota." He purred.

Riku looked at Kyin. "And what does that mean?!" He stood up and locked the bedroom door. He didn't want his father attacking them in their sleep. He walked back adn stripped down before he pulled on his pajama pants and left the shirt unbuttoned. He yawned and laid down next to Dakota. "sorry. We only have 2 bed and Kyin's isn't that comfortable." he wrapped his arm around Dakota and he nuzzled him. He was pretyt happy and he wanted to keep it this way. He yawned and curled up. "dakota... We'll have to get to know you throughout this time."

Kyin smiled and walked over to his bed. He curled up and he grabbed his pillow. he yawned adn looked at Dakota. He winked and turned around to have his back to his brothers. He yawned and closed his eyes.

Dakota tried to forget everything that happened with Kyin.In the split second everything he thought about him had changed.Snarling at Kyin's wink.Even if deep down he admired his looks.Turning to face Riku he smiled.Wrapping his arms around him close."im glad im here with you" Whispering into his ear.Then Meeting his eyes with passion.Maybe something that could mean more.He had to forget kyin,and hope that he wouldnt say anything.Then Daktoa closed his eyes.Burying his face into Riku's chest,Falling into a a deep sleep,dreamless.

((hope its okay if i make it morning?))

Dakota took a sharp breathe in,his eyes opening to cool grey light of an early summer morning.He was now facing the other way as Riku,his arms in legs intertwinded with his.His navy blue orbs shifted to the alarm clock on the nightstand in the distance.The time saying 5:30.The thought of waking Riku up flashed through his mind.But it was too early in the morning.He turned is head to tlook around the room.Then to Kyin's bunk.Hoping that he was asleep too.Maybe it was best just to avoid him at all costs.Still in a sitiuation he hated to put himself in.

Riku twitched slightly and yawned. His limbs intertwined with Dakota's He opened his eyed slightly and his raven black eyes fell upon Dakota. "hey.. What are you doing up now?" He smiled and kissed Dakota's head. He nuzzled teh boy and looked over at his brother, who was till sound asleep. "hey.. Are you okay ? What did Kyin do to you to make you cry like that?"

(sorry. short.)

"And now you tell him.. Never thought it would take you this long.." Kyin sat up and smiled. His wolf wail swishing around and he looked at Dakota and Riku. "So, Riku, what do you plan to do now?" His tail swished more and he got up. He let his legs off the bed and he looked at his brother. All other girlfriends and boyfriends Riku had had, Kyin always took them from him. He knew it would piss Riku off, but it also kept Riku a quiet boy that obeyed the father and kept Kyin away from trouble.

Riku looked at Dakota. His eyes slightly widened. He sighed and looked at Kyin. "Nothing.. I mean.. You kissed every single one of my previous boyfriends and girlfriends.. well.. my last 3.. Since I've only had 3.. and any girl or guy you have gotten, i left you alone... Kyin.. I don't get it.. I mean.. It's been enough.. I'm done trying to fight it.. If Dakota wants me for looks or just because I'll be the loving boyfriend and he also wants you because your the better looking or the one who excites him most.. Then so be it.. He can have us both.." He looked at Dakota. "So. What do you want?"

Kyin smiled and shifted into his brother. "Oh really? Well.. What do you like about my brother's body?" He lifted the shirt he was wearing. "Do you liked Riku's abs or his muscles? His long black hair or his glasses?" He smiled and shifted back into himself. "Mhh. Oh well.. I can't win them all.." He yawned and heard loud footsteps coming up the stairs. "Riku!"

Riku heard the steps and grabbed Dakota. He shoved him to Kyin and opened the window. "Quickly Kyin.. You need to hang out the window with Dakota before father gets here.." He kissed Dakota. "I forgive you.. All my previous relaitonships hurt me but non every apologized. I'm sorry for sending you with my brother, but i don't want you to see what will happen." he grabbed Kyin and shoved him out the window in time for the father to come in and see only Riku wiht a closed window. He grabbed Riku by the neck and threw the boy into the bed, breaking the backboard and sending Riku tumbling onto the floor. He sat up, his forhead bleeding. He coughed and held his throat. "i-I'm sorry dad... I didnt me-" His was punched in the chest before be was tied to teh wall with rope. "That is what you get for hitting me yesterday you ungrateful kid!" He slapped RIku before heading out.

Kyin caught the ledge and held Dakota tightly. He heard the backborad snap and teh slap and the punch and Riku's gasps. He held Dakota closely. "Hey.. I think he left.. I'm sorry to have you in my arms seeing as you are fond of my brother.. But I think we should go back in. come on. Hoist yourself up."
