Jake sighed as his eyes went back to normal. He kneeled down in front of him and wrapped his arms around him, patting him on the back. "No...you just...don't have a good enough father to teach you better. Me and your mother love you very much. You are not a horrible person...just please tell us what is going on."

"I cant because i dont. Ive been feeling off...." Sora said.

Jake pulled away slightly to look at him. "Off how?"

"Like. Off as in, off, off, off, off." Sora said.
"Sora?" Cc said.
"S-sorry..." Sora said.

Jake narrowed his eyes and leaned in to his ear. "How many people have you drank from?"

Sora shrugged. "I don't know...."

"Can you give an estimate. Doesn't have to be exact..." Jake said.

Sora shook his head.
"Um hello. What are you two talking about." Cc said crossing her arms, her eyes closed, eyebrow twitching.

Jake ignore her and kept whispering. "Was it a lot or a few?"

Cc sighed and leaned against the doorway.
"Well I've been doing it since I was 8. So a lot." Sora whispered back.

Jake sighed and shook his head. "I wish you had just told me from the beginning...how long have you felt off?"

"Not too long ago....maybe a month...." Sora said.

Jake frowned. "And this feeling...makes you...harm yourself?"

Sora nodded.

"Does it make you feel anything else? Like...make you more thirsty?" Jake asked.

"Yeah..." Sora responded.

Jake shook her head. "Oh no...anything else you feel?"

"Not that I know of...." Sora said.

Jake patted his shoulder. "Oh Sora....this isn't good...this isn't good at all."

"Yumi. What are they saying?" Cc said.
Yumi had been on Sora's shoulder the whole time they were talking. "Nothing Cc!"
Sora smiled and petted Yumi's little head. "It's ok Dad. I'll be just like you. I'm gonna fight it like you did!! I promise!! I've even got a friend whose just like Mom. And I'll end up marrying someone as pretty as Mom just like you!"
Cc smiled.

Jake smiled slightly and nodded. He rustle his hair. "Just...be careful and drink from you container. Not from anywhere else! Or else the feeling will only get worse. Okay?"

Sora nodded. "Ok Dad! Thanks for understanding." He hugged his father tightly.
"Are you sure you don't need us here." Cc said.
"Yeah Mom. You guys can go have fun." Sora said.

Jake hugged him back. "Alright. Have fun then." He let him go and stood up. He walked over to the door and then glanced over at sora. "Oh and if things get too wild, use protection." He grabbed Cc's hand and rushed out of the room, chuckling.

"Dad!!!" Sora yelled blushing like crazy.
Cc giggled. "Jake!!!"

Jake just kept smiling as they got into their room. "I couldn't help it."

Aki rushed around the bedroom while Daisuke was still sleeping. She cleaned up in no time, completely excited. "Oh they'll be coming soon!" She jumped on top of her brother and smacked him around. "Wake up! We have guest coming! Wake up!"
Daisuke groaned and slowly woke up. "Huh? What?"
"Arci and Arein are sleeping over!" She said.
His eyes went wide. "What?!"

Cc flicked his forehead.

"Arein! I cant. He hates us!!" Arci said.

Jake rubbed his forehead, confused. "What?"

Daisuke got her off him and looked around the room. "Huh? The room is clean already?"
Aki nodded. "Yup."
Daisuke looked at himself in the mirror. "Crap! I have to get dressed!" He rushed towards the bathroom.
"So you're okay with them coming ?" Aki called out.
"Of course! I can't wait!" He called from the bathroom.

Cc rolled her eyes. "Nevermind."

"I'm sure he doesn't hold a grudge that long." Arein said finishing up his packing.
Arci had already finished and was sitting on her suitcase, on his bed.

Jake tilted his head to the side. "Hm?"

Aki giggled and went downstairs and into the kitchen, humming.

"Just start packing." Cc said.

Arein reached the house, literally dragging Arci behind him, then he knocked while trying to keep her at the door.
Russell opened the door. "Oh you must be Arci and Arein am I right?"
Arein nodded. "Yes sir."
"Aki. Your friends are here." Russell said.

Jake shrugged and started packing.

Aki rushed out of the kitchen, smiling. "Hey guys! Welcome!"

Cc started to pack as well.
Yumi hugged Sora's neck. "I'm staying with you big bro!!"
"Thanks sis..." Sora said stroking Yumi's head.

"Thanks Aki. Glad to be here." Arein said grabbing Arci's hand pulling her back over.
"Come on in you two." Russell said.
Arein smiled. "Thanks Mr. Freedman." He pulled Arci into the house.

Jake kept packing. "We are doing the right thing aren't we? Leaving a 16 year old alone with a girl right?"

Miki slowly woke up and sat up on the couch. She got up and heard extra voices. She walked over and gasped slightly. "Oh my! Who do we have here?"
Aki smiled. "These are my friends. Arci and Arein."
Miki smiled at them. "Well hello there!"

"C'mon Jake. Sora's a good boy, he won't do anything, he's too respectful." CC said.

"Hello Mrs. Freedman." Arein said.

"True..." Jake said but he couldn't help but worry about his son's blood lust.

"So you two are joining us on our trip?" Miki asked.

Arein nodded. "Yes ma'am....thanks for allowing us to...."
Arci backed away slightly.

Miki noticed Arci backing away. "Huh? Is something wrong?"
Aki frowned slightly. "Arci...."
Daisuke slowly walked down the stairs. "Huh? They're here!" He smiled. "Hey guys."

Arci accidentally dropped her bag, opened the front door and rushed out, closing it behind her.
Arein sighed. "I'm sorry about her. She's the girl that caused.....that."
"Oh. She's the one huh?" Russell said.

Miki gasped. "Oh my..."
Daisuke frowned and Aki threw her shoe at him, hitting him in the head. He winced. "Ouch! What was that for?"
Aki glared at him. "Go after her dummy!"
Daisuke nodded and ran out the house, chasing after Arci. "Wait Arci!"

"I know you're still pissed at me.But.....Please don't throw me into a bush again. My head still hurts from last time!" Arci said stopping, backing up some.

Daisuke stopped and winced. He looked down with a heavy heart. "Look...I'm sorry okay? I didn't...I didn't mean to hurt you. But I'm not pissed at you. If anything, I figure you would be pissed at me."

"No im not..." Arci said.

"Well...I'm not pissed at you so...can you please stop running?" Daiauke asked, still not looking up.

Arci walked up to him slightly, then stopped a few inches away. "I'm sorry, I guess I'm just scared of you and don't know what I'll say to turn you into that again. It was really heartbreaking to see especially since I knew it was my fault."

Daisuke winced and kept his head down. "Please...don't be scared of me...I'm better now. I won't snap. I'll be safe." He clenched his fist. "It makes me sad to know that you fear me. When all I want...is for you to like me."

"Of course I like you as a friend..." Arci said reaching out to touch his shoulder, then she stopped.

Daisuke's legs gave out and he sat on the floor, still not looking at her. "Yeah...should have figured you say that..."

Arci gasped."Ah Daisuke. Are you ok? Wait huh?" She kneeled down in front of him. "You want me to like you, more thsn than a friend?"

Daisuke laughed slightly. "That would be nice...but...I did something cruel to you. I don't deserve your affection. "

Arci facepalms. Guys always tried to get her affection. She smirked. Although he may be worth a shot. She put her finger under his chin and made it so that he was looking into his eyes. "If you really actually want my affection and don't just like me for my looks. You'd keep trying no matter what." She removed her finger. "I think if you tried hard enough. You could get it."
