Kristopher was really having a tough day, actually a tough three days. Every since Naelona and Jou found out about Kristopher's relationship with Augusta, things hadn't gone well. Augusta had been hurt badly and put out of commission and would be for sometime it seemed. But Kristopher was going to try and make the best of it, to keep himself and Augusta out of the frying pan, the blond took it upon himself (after talking to Jou) that he would be doing Augusta's chores as well as his own.
It was a bright idea, and a very tiring one. Kristopher already did his chores which involved: Cooking, cleaning the Hallway, bathrooms and other areas. Landry as finished and put away and the food preparations had been completed for tonight's dinner. He also made his rounds around the Hospital. But now it was time to do Augusta's Chores.
It wasn't as simple as he thought it would, Kristopher had to go outside, clean off the walkways, put salt on them to melt the ice, even that out. Figure out how the hell to work machinery, as well as figure out what tool was what! He even had to cut some wood for the fire in the study and store that.
Having just came back from doing that and with a red nose and jacket still on (though very cold still) he was currently standing on a tall ladder. The blond was trying to fix the nine foot tall Grandfather clock that was located in the Entrance Way. It had stopped working just six hour ago.
The blond was smart enough to figure out how to open the clock but he wasn't smart enough to figure out how to fix it. So, he decided (and more then likely to the unknown horror of Augusta) to try and fix the clock by trial error. Sadly, that wasn't going to well, the clock was beating him senseless. There was parts on the ladder and on the floor. Mostly pieces he took out and now couldn't get to back in.
Feeling slightly frustrated he "tapped" the clock with a screwdriver. "What the hell is wrong with you, eh?" He asked the clock. It was amazing to point out that Kristopher was known to crack and set bones in a matter of minutes. He could repair the body as fast as Augusta could fix clocks...but the blond was being defeated by this large and very old clock that seemed to know what to do to piss him off.
"Come on, fit in there! Get back in there!" Kristopher now mumbled with a screw driver between his teeth and trying, in a very comical fashion, to shove a piece of the clock back in. Sadly, this only resulted in him getting hit in the face by a few springs.
"For the love of Christ!"

Jouhnin was not anywhere near pleased with the current situation. Knowing that the apple of Augusta's eye was not Jouhnin himself was a bit... aggravating. But, Hiroshi was all all about true love and it was obvious what was going on between those two. So as he laid on his Tatami bed he let out a long sigh on the third sleep-less night he'd had. He sat up with a kimono sleeve hanging off one shoulder. He got up and slipped behind his tan Shoji screen and changed kimono's, picking a light blue, a less bright color for such a, depressing day.
His families small house outside the limits of the garden was Traditional Japanese style and he slid his door closed and made his tea before his sister walked trough and tried to have a conversation with him. It failed. When he got up his two twin brothers screamed through the house and chased each other with Bokken and claiming to be samurai.
Jouhnin walked easily around the two boys as he picked up a very thick kimono layer and slid it over his already 5 layers of cloth. He then walked outside and cringed quickly going back inside. He let his hair down and then stepped back outside. Shivering the tall man went back inside and got a shawl and wrapped it around his shoulders before he whent back outside, of course, barefoot.
As the nearly 7 foot man walked he thought about his rebellious slave. He realized that Kristopher was just the thing the dark-haired boy needed. Someone who was cute, and overly kind. Someone who wouldn't hate him for his over-emotional tendencies. Someone like Kristopher. But why would Kristopher need anybody like Augusta.... except for protection purposes.
That would be a good question to ask. Since Kristopher was just the slave he was going to go check up on. He needed to make sure the sickly boy wasn't dead trying to fix the clock tower. " I believe I have become easily moved Kit..." he told the winged fox who had followed him out into the cold. " If I was my younger self I would have never let this happen..." he said and ran a hand through his long dark hair.
"Come on, fit in there! Get back in there!"
Jouhnin came into the entrance and looked at the mess the blond had created. He only had to look up just slightly to see the blond up there. " Oh dear..." he said softly as he looked around.
"For the love of Christ!"
Jouhnin giggled lightly at this and tapped the side of the ladder with a thick metal gear that Kristopher had dropped. " I don't think Christ is going to help you... maybe you should reconsider doing chores for your... gentlemen caller..." the last bit came out a bit more darkly then you'd expect from Jouhnin, but just because Jou allowed the two, he was still not to pleased about it.

Seriously, why was a clock so hard to fix? This was stupid, it was just a bunch of wheels, gears and things that went tick-tock to make the clock work. So why was it so hard to repair? Kristopher wondered if he was ever going to get this thing to work! But by God, he would!
He hit the gears.
" I don't think Christ is going to help you... maybe you should reconsider doing chores for your... gentlemen caller..."
Kristopher about jumped out of his skin when he felt when he hear the object being tapped on the ladder and then Jou speaking to him. But soon, he gathered his composure and did not look down, he still worked on the clock and a spring flew past his ear.
"I won't reconsider. I am going to stand very firm on what I said to you." Kristopher said with a hint of annoyance in his voice. Then after a moment he heard a click, he turned his head and closed the clock face. From there he could see the clock hands move.
"HA! See, I can fix a clock too!" He smiled proudly at himself. Granted, Augusta would probably be in horror at what Kristopher managed to do rather then be proud of his lover for figuring something out. But now Kristopher remained on his ladder, working on making sure the clock face was going to stay on.
His brow twitched though at how Jou labeled Augusta but he chose not to voice his displeasure, so what if Jouhnin saw it as something else. Wasn't Kristophers problem.
"Might I inquire to why his "Lordship" has come here for, especially during this cold weather?" asked the ever sickly blond.

"I won't reconsider. I am going to stand very firm on what I said to you."
A light chuckle erupted from the man as he leaned against the ladder, purposely pushing it to the side. " so bull-headed..." he said and then sighed. Sure Kristopher had fixed the clock, but Jouhnin would be appalled to see if the blond could fix an electrical system. He let off the ladder and walked around, picking up pieces of the clock and setting them in a small pile.
"Might I inquire to why his "Lordship" has come here for, especially during this cold weather?"
Jouhnin grinned, " Highness, if your going to use historical titles, I'd prefer to be a highness..." he said softly and pushed a strand of hair behind his ear. He looked around for more pieces when Kit came prancing into the room and spilled up Jouhnin's leg, then back, and sat on his shoulder. Jouhnin turned to look at Kristopher. " Actually I have a question for you..." he said
The giant fox flapped it's wings lightly and gave a foxy smile to the blond as Jouhnin petted the creature. Kit hopped down off Jouhnin's shoulder and onto the floor as it looked a Kristopher. " I know this might seem... odd coming from me... but I must know why thing work as they do... so I need to know..." he paused and pulled his shawl tighter around him and tapped his barefoot lightly. "What do you get out of it... I mean... why do you need him? You care for him like a woman, and love him so... so why do you crave his presence as he does?" he asked with a slightly curious expression on the Boogies young face.

" so bull-headed..."
The blond paused to glare down at the boogie as the ladder had moved a bit and caused Kristopher to have to cling to it a bit tighter then he would of liked as well as the clock. Then slowly the blond made his way down. When the boogie pulled away half way down, the ladder moved a second time.
"Fucking bastard..." He thought to himself, "Is he trying to kill me? Psh, more then likely."
The blond hopped down from the ladder then and shook his head, he said no thanks to the boogies help. He reached down and picked up the premade pile and stuffed the pieces into a small bag. Once they had all been collected he went to the clock and placed the bag in a small compartment that held other pieces to the clock.
" Highness, if your going to use historical titles, I'd prefer to be a highness... Actually I have a question for you..."
He rolled his eyes then, figured he would want to be called something high up there. Boogie was on crack if he thought Kristopher would address him as such, "And what would that be?"
I know this might seem... odd coming from me... but I must know why thing work as they do... so I need to know...What do you get out of it... I mean... why do you need him? You care for him like a woman, and love him so... so why do you crave his presence as he does?"
Kristopher caused then for a moment, then closed the comparment with one hand. "Nothing." He said at last, "I get nothing out of it. Why do we choose to love someone? I can't say, but I do know for a fact that he is very dear to me and I will do anything for him even if it cost me my life." The blond shrugged then as if it was nothing more then a simple matter in which they where talking of. "I love him and that is all there is too it. But if I must name something to satsify you, then the only thing I get out of it, if anything at all, is that he returns my love with his own."
The blond tilted his head back some to glance the the boogie. Then he fully turned and worked on closing the ladder and putting it way.

Jouhnin watched the blond with a serious expression and leaned against a nearby wall, his familiar sitting on the tall mans shoulders. The corners of the man's mouth raised just slightly as he listened to Kristopher.
"Nothing. I get nothing out of it. Why do we choose to love someone? I can't say, but I do know for a fact that he is very dear to me and I will do anything for him even if it cost me my life. I love him and that is all there is too it. But if I must name something to satisfy you, then the only thing I get out of it, if anything at all, is that he returns my love with his own."
Jou let out a soft chuckle at the blonds words, how quaint. He watched the boy start to put away the ladder and followed much a like a stray dog does. " Have I told you how lucky you are?" he asked with a smile. He paused for only a second so that the slave had no time to respond. " Very lucky, I didn't think he'd love anyone after what I did to him... " he chuckled, " but somehow, you stole his heart away..." he sighed, " I can't see why though, your small, and very frail and sickly... plus your not to smart either... and you complain like a woman..." he reached over and patted the blond on the head.
" Maybe that's why he likes you, cause your like a woman, but not one" he cracked a huge grin and laughed as he moved away just slightly so the blond was out of reach and couldn't hit him. " I guess that would be my fault though, since I was his first, maybe I made him gay... well... oops..." he said and tried very hard not to laugh as Kit hopped off his masters shoulders and came up to Kristopher and rubbed his face on the boys knee.

" Have I told you how lucky you are? Very lucky, I didn't think he'd love anyone after what I did to him..."
Kris didn't like how this conversation was suddenly going. He had the feeling that Jou was going to try and make his day a very bad one. Very, very bad. Jou alawys looked like a sweet Boogie, but Kristopher knew otherwise, the man was like a viper. Put your guard down only for half a second and he would bite into you, killing you slowly with his vemon.
Kristopher would have to be careful.
"I am lucky." It was all he said to the tall boogie then as he put the ladder away and turned to look at the older one as he countined on.
but somehow, you stole his heart away... I can't see why though, your small, and very frail and sickly... plus your not to smart either... and you complain like a woman..."
Kristopher pulled away from the pat on the head as if the older was about to burn him by merely touching him. In truth, that would of been better then the words that he spoke. But the blond did well to show those very words spoken did not bother him. True, Kristopher was small, frail and very, very ill. He always was and always would be.
"I might be frail as a newborn baby, but at least I didn't try to rape him everytime he shakes his rear." Kristopher pointed out with a shrug. "Maybe that's why he likes me over you." Oh yes, Kristopher could put out snide remarks as well.
" Maybe that's why he likes you, cause your like a woman, but not one. I guess that would be my fault though, since I was his first, maybe I made him gay... well... oops..."
"If that is why he likes me, then I'll accept that." Then the boy shrugged. "Ah, then I suppose I should be thanking you for turning him gay. It helped us become a couple easier." He mused.

"I might be frail as a newborn baby, but at least I didn't try to rape him every time he shakes his rear. Maybe that's why he likes me over you."
Jouhnin frowned, " I do not...." he said darkly, " Not that often at least..." But, Jou had to admit he was a touchy-feely person, and when Kris pulled his hand away he felt slightly offended. But he could understand Kristopher's actions. Kristopher finally learned that Jouhnin looked like the flower, but was actually the serpent underneath it. Which is what Jou was, he looked sweet an innocent on the outside, but deep, deep on the inside was the freakiest man you will ever meet, no joke.
"If that is why he likes me, then I'll accept that. Ah, then I suppose I should be thanking you for turning him gay. It helped us become a couple easier."
Inside Jouhnin wanted to strangle the blond, not only for being the apple of Augusta's eye, but also just because the little slave was trying to be snide with him. Jouhnin kept on a solid face with no emotion for awhile and stayed quiet. Very, deathly quiet. It was a horrid silence and the way Jou stood screamed that he was plotting something horribly evil. The tall Boogie looked around and then let out a disappointed sigh. " So... speaking of which... how is he?" Jouhnin asked with some sense of guilt and maybe compassion, " I did quite a number on him, those ribs won't heal very quickly in this cold either..." he said, knowing the condition of the slaves quarters and how... drafty it was.

"I do not..Not that often at least."
"Yeah, and I am the Queen of England." Kristopher said with a roll of his eyes
and contuined to do his work. The silence Kristopher did not really care about.
He figured he just got at Jou and that pleased him actually, to bad that
he couldn't slap him. That would just break the poor slaves hand. So for now
this would have to do.
After all, Jou couldn't do anything to him, or could he? Ah well.
"So..speaking of which...how is he? I did quite a number on him, those ribs won't
heal very well in the cold either."
"He is doing better, I keep him in bed with all the blankets I can find and check on him
every hour." Kristopher eyes narrowed then as he turned to look at the boogie.
"Don't hurt him again, or I will find a way to kill you." said the frail blond.
It might not be a very good threat but Kristopher planned to keep it!
"Furthermore, the more time away from you, the happier and healthier he seems. Interesting isn't?"

Jouhnin clenched a fist behind his back. There was no way he was going to let the little blond get to him. He sighed and tried to keep the little sanity he had. He brushed a black bang from his face and just listened.
"He is doing better, I keep him in bed with all the blankets I can find and check on him
every hour. Don't hurt him again, or I will find a way to kill you."
Jouhnin actually laughed at that one. Did Kristopher really think he had a chance against Jouhnin, who was not only taller and bigger, but also stronger. He would be very amused if the slave even tried. Jouhnin frowned at the blonds next remark. It took all Jouhnin's composure not to strangle the bond on the spot.
But maybe just a scare wouldn't hurt.
Jouhnin lessened the distance between him in Kris in barely three strides. Then grabbed the blond by the neck a hoisted him a good four feet in the air and slammed his thin frame against the wall behind them. But Jouhnin didn't keep a hard enough grip on the slave to choke him, just enough to limit his breathing a bit. " Do you really think you'd stand a chance against me?" he asked, a dark tone to the Boogies voice. " You really think... that If I were to hurt my slave again, you could do anything about it? " he chuckled, " Because I think, that I could make you watch me hurt him... all day long... and you couldn't do a thing about it... I'd have you tied up in seconds..."
Jouhnin's smile turned into a crooked grin, " don't push me boy... or I might actually tie you down and make you watch me rip the life out of that useless slave you hold so dear..."

Before Kristopher could utter another word, he was not really shocked that he was suddenly lifted by his neck and slammed into the nearest wall. It hurt, but all he did was bare his teeth and grunt in pain. At least he wasn't being choked to death, just very uncomfortable and having issues on breathing. Damn boogies.
" Do you really think you'd stand a chance against me? You really think... that If I were to hurt my slave again, you could do anything about it? "
Kristoher grinned at the boogie, a toothly one that was very unbecoming of him. The blond looked to be rather vicious at the moment and he raised his frail hands to rest on the boogies wrist. Holding tightly and putting a foot against the wall and pushing up. ALlowing him to breath much easier.
"I think I do." He managed to gasp out, still looking rather creepy. Funny, Jou thought that Kristopher would try to take him out with physical force. It seemed everyone forgot one thing, Kristopher did have brains and a very good pair when he decided to use them correctly.
" Because I think, that I could make you watch me hurt him... all day long... and you couldn't do a thing about it... I'd have you tied up in seconds... don't push me boy... or I might actually tie you down and make you watch me rip the life out of that useless slave you hold so dear..."
"And then you spend another twenty two years training a new slave boy and putting more money and effort into him then what is truly needed. You would be out in the long run, far more out then myself." Kristopher stated which was very true. Besides, Kristopher knew what he would do if Augusta died. It wouldn't be hard.

"And then you spend another twenty two years training a new slave boy and putting more money and effort into him then what is truly needed. You would be out in the long run, far more out then myself."
Jouhnin glared at the blond, even when he was grinned at. The boy had a clear point, but Jou wasn't going to let that show. He was outmatched, because the blond had a point, training another slave would be fun, but too much work. And no slave looked as much like his past as Augusta did. He wanted to squeeze the blonds neck slowly and kill him, an anger rose out of his gut and he wanted so very badly to kill the blond right there.
But suddenly he felt a familiar blurriness. He tried to stop it from happening, but somehow, he couldn't control this. The area around the two got suddenly warm and they were standing in the music room. Jouhnin no longer was holding Kris and Jouhnin seemed to be frozen. But sitting at a piano was a small child, around 14 with long black hair, wearing a kimono, a soft shade of green. Leaning over the boy was a taller and obviously older man, who looked almost exactly like Augusta, except a dark scar ran over the mans left eye. The child leaned his head back and the older man kissed the boy. And then the boy looked over towards Kristopher and from behind the blond came a taller man who looked like Jouhnin, and suddenly the little boy at the piano was obviously Jouhnin.
The Jouhnin-look-a-like was yelling, and anger on the mans face, but no noise came out. The boy stood in front of his apparent lover and defended him. But soon the verbal fight was over and soon Jouhnin's lover was pulled away by what seemed to be Jounin's father. As the two left, Jouhnin fell onto his knees screaming 'Hiroshi!' and cried. Then the imaged flashed away to the crimson woods, and the show was deep and the area around Kris got very cold.
Through the tree's, the younger Jouhnin was running, his kimono messy and he was getting cut with branches as he ran, the boogie-child tripped but got back up and entered a clearing, where Jouhnin's father was cleaning a brilliant silver sword. The young Jouhnin stood in shock as Hiroshi fell into the snow, leaving a pool of red-tinted snow. As the young Jouhnin rushed to his lovers side, the picture flashed again. Putting Kris into a dark room with a bed, and the only light came from the door which was open, and standing in the door way was young Jouhnin, who held a sword. It was only seconds as Jouhnin's mother and father awoke only to be sliced thin and their blood spread on the bedsheets. The young Jouhnin stood over the bodies with the same dark smile he gave Augusta on his eighteenth birthday, and the same smile he gave Kris as he had him pinned against the wall.
When the picture finally faded they were back into the present and Jouhnin let go of the blond and backed up so quickly he fell over his own feet and hit the floor easily. His kimono was bit messy, but Jouhnin just stared at his own hand, he always had control over his powers, except this time. " I m--must be getting t--too emotional..." he muttered and then looked up at Kristopher.

Kristopher hit the ground with a heavy thud, a hand resting around his throat. What had he just seen? What juts happened? The blond was over all shocked by the sudden view of the boogie's past and it confused him. So, Jou had a lover at one point in his life and failed to save him.
Interesting. Too bad he couldn't of just died with his lover. At least then Augusta would have an easy life. But then again, Augusta might never of came to Wonderland then...
The blond shook his head for a moment and catched his breath as Jou muttered something but he wasn't too sure what was spoken. The blond leaned back against the wall and let out a soft laugh. It wasn't a cruel laugh, just an uneasy one...with prehaps some amusement in it.
"How interesting." He remarked with his ever soft voice, he could only guess what all of that was that was revealed. "Then I suppose you would know very well how me and Augusta see one another." Yes, he had too after that kind of past. A twisted smirk came to the boys face but it was hidden behind those curly locks of Kristopher's hair. He bowed his head then, resting it on his elbow as his arm rested on his bent knee.
"Isn't interesting, history seems to be repeating itself." Was Kris aiming to the fact that Jou was killing Augusta, perhaps he was and it was true as well. Jou almost killed Nick many, many times. Thus Jou had taken the place of his father and Augy the lover about to be beheaded, or maybe that would be Kris on the chopping block.
Who could tell? But he could see the relation...
But he wasn't going to let what happened to Jou's lover, happen to Augusta.

Jouhnin sat on the ground and when the slave laughed he looked away. Jouhnin was unable to let go of his past, it held him by a chain which never seemed to let go. When he told Naelona that Augusta was attached to a chain wrapped around his heart, he was not exaggerating. He let his head fall then, trying to push the old memories back down. But it was a wound that was never healed, and it had been reopened and many different emotions were building up inside the Boogie, who had no idea what to do with them.
"How interesting. Then I suppose you would know very well how me and Augusta see one another."
Jouhnin clenched his fists, it took all his will to not jump over to the blond and murder him. "s--shut up...." he said darkly, his voice still soft though, like he was hurt. Which was partly true.
"Isn't interesting, history seems to be repeating itself."
This time, anger rose up in Jouhnin again as he slammed his fist down onto the ground, cracked five tiles and made a significant dent in the floor as he yelled. " S--SHUT UP!! " he paused again and lifted the hand that had damaged the floor up to his face, " You don't understand anything of my past, I am not my father... and Augusta is much more stubborn then Hiroshi ever was... " he said softer then before, " You'd never understand that kinda of pain... "
Jouhnin picked himself up slowly, like he was about to cry, and dusted off his kimono. He pushed his hair back and let out a sigh, " Hopefully you'll never understand..." he muttered to himself.

Kristopher said nothing as he stayed still, he listened to Jou yell at him and then hit the ground. He would have to fix that later he was sure. But the blond, as much as he hated this boogie, couldn't come up with any remark to say. No foul words, nothing. But one question did come to mind.
The blond looked up at Jou then, for a moment he just watched the boogie try to gather himself. Trying to be composed once more and utterly failing. He was sure he knew what Jou had been feeling at the time. Kristopher almost lost Augy a few times and it about killed him. But unlike Hiroshi, Augusta survived his encounters and the like. Furthermore, he wasn't beheaded.
"Why didn't you stop it?" he asked slowly, "You knew, you had time to stop it before he died. Could of talked to the other man..." He paused and leaned back into the wall.
"Or was it really impossible to save him?" Jou could of enlisted a boogie to help him. For a price, he was sure, but there was things he could of done but didn't.
Boogie love....huh, who would of thought?
