Hunters and the Hunted

"He won't hurt you. But he won't listen."

"If he's not a danger don't worry."

"I can't help but worry. Do you...do you care for him? Like me?"

"Don't worry about it, I gve up my ability to be involved a long time ago."

"I know."

Rachel looked at him. "I noticed...I have to see him Kai."

"Not as strongly as I feel about you... But I'm not averse to him..."

"Same face and body after all." Jason shrugged weakly. "It's probably hard to distinguish between us."

"I can tell the difference. I love you, I have a friendly affection towards him."

"He has more towards you though," Jason pointed out quietly. "I don't know what you make of that. But don't let him pressure you into anything."

"I know... But I can't help not feeling the same towards him. And in my condition I'll be turning you both down for anything."

"I know that. But I'm saying in any other condition, don't feel afraid to just tell him no."

"I've already turned him down, relax. I won't let him do anything."

"I suppose I'm just a little paranoid. I hear of Scarlet having an equal relationship with both Ian and Cain, but I'm too jealous for that."

((fruit you forgot me))

Death nodded quietly, before dismissing Faye with a brief wave of his hand.

Tuesday moved to kiss his cheek with a quiet sigh.

---

"Because he's your dad. I know."

"Well having a monogamous relationship is probably too difficult for her to understand."

Jess just sat cross-legged on the bed, she felt odd, but she wasn't about to let Death know that.

Rachel looked at him. "No, I mean I'm going to see him to get him to change his mind."
______________

He kissed her lips in return.

"I just get nervous is all." Jason shrugged weakly.

---

"Faye should slow the problem for now, until I can get an understanding of what's happening."

---

"Don't push yourself too much, okay?" Kai asked quietly, imploring her.

---

Tuesday gently kissed him back, moving to hold onto the edge of his shirt.

"I don't exactly know what you want me to say Death." She told him.
_____________

"I won't....But I'm going to go tomorrow."
_____________

He pulled her into the kiss.

"Don't worry, come on, inside now."

"I'm trying to make you feel more at ease with the situation." Death looked quietly down to his lap.

---

"Can we leave it until after you've had this child? So you're not so much in danger."

---

Tuesday leaned against him, reaching up to wrap her arms around his neck.

---

"Are you sure?" Jason wrung his hands together nervously.

"Of course."

"You're not disgusted with me?"

"The one problem is that I don't know what the situation is and I'm fine with not knowing."
______________

"Kol if I don't talk to him soon, we could lose this child."
______________

He held her close, deepening the kiss, his hands at he waist.

"Why would i be?"

"Telling you would make you involved and you would become a target. I do not want that to happen, is all."

---

Kai twisted his hands together before angrily tangling his fingers in his hair as he grumbled under his breath.

---

Tuesday sighed softly against his mouth, twisting a hand into his hair.

"Because I killed over a dozen people and came back covered in their blood. Surely you should feel some contempt for me."
