Rome got up and gave Silva's hair one final yank before going over to sit on the bed. Silva yelped as his hair was pulled again and got up. He glared at Rome and sat back down in the chair, rubbing his head. "You know I don't like people pulling or even touching my hair." he muttered. "That's the exact reason I did it." Rome snapped. He looked up at China and concern filled his eyes. "China? Are you alright?" he asked. Silva mumbled something under his breath and started to braid his hair, tying it back with a black band. "She's fine, but I'll have to watch my neck. She's just thinking about what all vampire's think about." Silva muttered.

She fought herself internally, watching the veins in his neck. She looked desperately at Rome. Her mouth opened slightly as she fought control and started to get frustrated. Why the hell did he tie is hair back? Idiot! Um... I... um...

Silva noticed her eyes on his neck, and grinned. If she attacked him first he'd have a good reason to fight back. Rome saw where China had been looking and frowned. A sudden idea popped into his head. "Wait if his blood is bothering you then why doesn't Senshi's? Is it becuase he's an animal?" he asked her quietly.

She cringed at the very word. A spasm of fire ripped through her throat.We have no preference for animal blood.She was losing her battle. She shifted her weight slightly towards Silva's direction.

Rome suddenly muttered a shifting spell and Silva gasped in shock. "I'm gonna kill you for this Rome!" he shouted falling to the ground. There was a sudden flash of light and then all was left was a pile of Silva's clothes, his sword laying on top. The clothes started to move and a small silver kitten popped its head out from under a shirt, growling, its green eyes narrowed angrily.

She could breath again. She looked at Rome.A kitten?

Rome shrugged. "The only thing I could think of at the moment." he explained. "Are you alright now? How come my blood doesn't bother you?" he asked. He heard a small hiss and watched the silver kitten struggle to get out from under the pile of clothes, trying to hide a smile. Silva was going to kill him for this.

Because I approached you. I can handle blood if I've approached the person. It's complicated.She looked at the kitten, smirked and picked it up.Aw... I like you way better as a kitten!She cooed at the ball of fluff.

"Is there any way you'll be able to be around Silva in his human form? I'll unfortunately have to change him back eventually." Rome asked China, smirking at the kitten. The silver kitten struggled violently as he was picked up. He let out a yowl and started to claw at China's hands.

She ignored the scratching and dropped him on the floor.If nobody talks about my... my past we'll all be one happy family.She muttered, bitterly.

Silva let out a sqeak of pain and hissed at China when she dropped him. "Aparently not all cats land on their feet." Rome laughed. Silva spun around, his fur fluffed up, making him look twice his size. The little kitten leaped at him and clawed his way up Rome's jeans. He jumped up and raked his sharp, tiny claws down Rome's bare chest. "Owwww!" Rome exclaimed, grabbing Silva by the scruff and holding him at a distance. "I'll make sure he keeps his mouth shut." he told China, holding the struggling kitten away from him.

She grinned and took the kitten, plonking on the bed, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

Silva mewed a complaint and started hissing as he got tangled in the blankets. He was soooo going to kill Rome when he was changed back.

Rome wrapped his arms around her back and pulled her close. He kissed her back deeply.

She put her hands in his hair and traced the patterns on his neck. She kissed him harder.

Rome reached up with one hand and traced the tattoos on her face. He tilted her head back, his lips moving with hers. His other hand held her tightly against him.

She shivered as he touched her face. She moved one hand to his chest while the other still traced his tatoos.

Rome grinned into the kiss. He pulled her back with him and sat down on the bed, pulling her into his lap. He ignored the angry hiss beside him.

She molded herself into his chest, hooking her legs around his waist and slinging her arms back around his neck.

Rome fell back on the bed and pulled away to breath. He smiled up at China and kissed along her jaw and down her neck before kissing her on the lips again.

She pulled her head down and kissed his bare chest, pulling her head up again to look at him and smile gently, then reached down to trace her lips against his tatoos.

Rome closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. He reached up and ran his fingers through her hair, letting them glide down her back.

Silva mewed angrily and jumped from the bed. He didn't like the idea of watching his friend makeout with a vampire. He climbed up the leg of a table and managed to jump on Senshi's back. The stallion glanced back as the silver kitten jumped on him and snorted. Silva hissed and the horse rolled his eyes. Silva padded up and gripped the black mane as best he could in his claws as the horse left the hideout. He heard an owl and flinched when he remembered he was just the right size for some predator's snack. He snuck under the thick mane and tried to stay hidden while he laid on the horse's neck.

A small shiver ran down her back. She put her elbows on his chest and leaned her chin in her hands. She looked into his eyes.You have officially made out with a vampire. You can cross that off your list.She teased.

Rome's chest rumbled as he laughed breathlessly. "I'll have to put that on my to-do list everyday." he chuckled. He looked around and noticed that Silva and Senshi were gone. "Guess I was a little distracted." he laughed. "Where'd they take off to?" he asked.

She laughed.Hmmm... what to do, what to do?She reached down and moved her lips down his chest.To look, or not to look?

Rome moaned and then laughed. "I think they'll be okay for awhile. My father is gone, for now, and the biggest thing they have to worry about are owls. I think Silva can take care of himself for the time being. " he chuckled as he imagined the fluffy silver kitten, hissing at any noise out in the woods. "They'll be fine." he said, reaching his hand up to push China's hair out of her face.
