New Life : A Second Chance

Nitocris was not happy.

Not happy indeed.

When he had first heard from Father that Kyle was moving in next door with Kay and Xing Han, it had taken all of his willpower to keep up with his signature 'expressionless face'. It was really unexpected and fantastic news.

It was like candy falling straight onto his lap!

The puppy was willingly delivering himself to him, so he should not disappoint him, right? He can up the game now.

Xing Han was still the forbidden fruit, but Nitocris could slowly nurture and care for that fruit so that when it was ripe enough, it would be so sweet when plucked.

However, when he walked into the house that night, he was greeted with a sight that set him on edge immediately.

His puppy was straddling his own brother.

He knew that there was nothing going on between the two of them but it didn't mean he could accept seeing how intimate they were being at that moment!

To see his little puppy being so free with his hands on Kyle, his face full of sunshine and happiness. The moment he said something, though, that face became moody and pouty. Though he normally would have cherished that pouting look, his brain could not fully accept seeing his little puppy in that position.

Why the heck wasn't he getting off Kyle??

Luckily, despite the agitation Nitocris was feeling, he could hold it down and not let the aura of death leak through. Kyle would have noticed the danger immediately and react. He couldn't have that.

So he had to endure. Endure.

Then he saw his little puppy go down on Kyle, his face inches away with his darn hands still on Kyle's chest!

His eyes saw red then, and he wanted to rush over and pick up that little puppy from the collar and put him on his own lap.

Nitocris gulped at that thought and bit down on his inner cheek so hard that blood flowed. The metallic taste of blood and the slight pain cleared his mind a bit. He wished it didn't for his vision became clearer, too and the sight in front of him was worse.

That stupid little puppy of his was ... Nitocris's breathing became harder. Watching the way that tempting, fleshy butt wriggling about and the innocent, smiling face ... Nitocris had to take several deep, deep breaths to calm himself down.

The fact that the heat was already pooling downwards was not a good sign.

This little puppy of his is going to be the death of him.

Nitocris closed the front door slowly, turning his head away in order to regain his senses. He closed his eyes, his hand gripping tightly on the doorknob as he slowed down his heartbeat.

Then, those words from his little brother's mouth shattered everything.

"Do not tempt me, Xing Han. Next time, I really will go all the way."

Before he could stop it, the desire to kill the person saying those words just gushed forward.

HIS puppy! HIS!

Nitocris immediately quashed the feeling and retracted the killer aura, but it was still too late.

As expected, Kyle reacted quickly, turning towards him to neutralize the danger. His stance was in a ready, fighting position and his weapons already in his hands.

Despite the anger Nitocris felt from the earlier words, and the jealousy for the skinship Kyle was having with his little puppy, Nitocris couldn't help being impressed with this brother of his.

Black Dragon was truly fortunate to have Ice.

By the time Kyle faced him, Nitocris had already managed to school his face back to normal, only showing some displeasure.

"Sorry, Big Bro Nic," Kyle said sheepishly when he saw that, thinking how they had ignored him when he came in, "We'll keep it down next time."

"There should not BE a next time," Nitocris growled, thinking how horrible it would be that this would be a regular occurrence.

Seeing his little puppy playing so well with his brother while he, himself, could only watch at the sidelines was not what he'd like at all.

No, siree. Not a little bit.

"After work, I'd like some peace and quiet," Nitocris stressed, his eyes glaring at him.

Kyle nodded in understanding, looking contrite, "Yes, you are right, Big Bro Nic. Sorry. It won't happen again."

Nitocris nodded in satisfaction, pleased that he'd stop the two kids from going overboard, "Good. See that it doesn't."

"Don't worry about it Kyle," Xing Han said, patting Kyle on the shoulder as he sat back down next to him, "We have our own house now. No rules! So no one can disturb us at all."

Nitocris frowned.

His little puppy really requires a lot of training indeed.

As Nitocris turned away, he saw that Master Shifu was looking at him.

Instantly, Nitocirs knew that his Father had seen the whole thing and knew that the killing aura had come from him. However, since he wasn't saying anything to expose the fact, Nitocris understood that he would have some explaining to do.

Master Shifu just looked at him, then faced the kids in the living room. He raised an eyebrow, made a questioning glance towards Xing Han and back to Nitocris. Nitocris smiled and gave a slight nod. Master Shifu nodded, gave him a warning look and walked back to the kitchen.

Nitocris was relieved. Obviously, Father knew that Nitocris did not mean any harm but he was still warned with a look. Nitocris knew that Father was simply telling him not to go overboard.

The killing aura had been unintentional. He would have to work on that, as he is sure today's scene wouldn't be the last.

Any other annoying fly around his little puppy would have been eliminated. Only Kyle could get away with the things he did since he had absolutely no designs on his little puppy.

Otherwise, he would have a talk with him.

A really, really long talk.
