by tristine2015

Riki and Iason are brought back to life one year after the devastation of Dana Bahn. No longer regarded as a pet life should be bliss but sadly that's not the case. A few weeks along Riki finds out that he's pregnant as a new storm of trouble grasps hold of Ceres. A world of mysteries unfold as Jupiter schemes in the quite, new powers and a new leader rises under the name of Fate.

Sadly...I do not own Ai no Kusabi

Prologue

Riki sighed looking over Midas from where he stood on one of the finest balconies Eos had to offer. The night was alive in the glittering darkness the vibrancy of life down below seemed to rival that of the day. The twin full moons looking over fondly at the city seemed to mock the foul mood of the mongrel dragged clear out the slums and tossed into the bed of one of the most renounced figures in Midas, Iason Mink, an elite Blondie of the highest caliber.

Riki the Dark sighed. It carved a hole in his heart to simply think of that man, the one who had tarnished his name and bound him as a pet, a sex slave, for his sinful desires. Sadly it was that very same man who had saved his life in Dana Bahn four years ago after his deranged partner tried to kill Iason at all cost. Presently Mink, Jupiter's work of Art, her favorite child, was the work of living perfection he always was. The evidence of the price he had to pay for sacrificing his body to save Riki's life all seemed to be a distant memory after Raoul was set to the task of healing him.

Riki tossed back his beverage in one clean shot before allowing the empty glass to sit on the edge of the railing. With no particular thought in mind he glanced down at the modified crystal pet ring that was inseparable from his finger. Even though he had gotten back his manhood after Raoul's operation he had woken up to find the ring exactly where it was now, fused entirely to the flesh and bone on his hand

Since that traumatic event that left hushed scandalous whispers of the greatest Blondie's fall from grace all due to a common mongrel from the slum, Iason refused to relinquish his hold on the mongrel, only lengthening his leash on Riki as far as ten kilometer away from Eos banishing him from ever setting foot back in Ceres or so much as two light years close to Guy, promising to make good on his word and eradicate the human pest the next time they had the misfortune of crossing paths. But in Riki's eyes the likelihood of that happening was highly unlikely. According to all the rumors he now heard, Guy had all but vanished off the face of the earth.

He took a breath ready to call it a day, if Iason ever saw him out here in the cold dead of night he'd be sure to express how deeply he cared for the mongrel by tossing him rather unceremoniously into bed. His present situation wasn't making his position with the Blondie any better either. He rested a hand on his stomach for the third time since he had gotten the news two weeks ago after Raoul had done an examination on him at Jupiter's request.

The results left him disoriented and lost somewhat. He had always known that things such as these were possible, they had happened so often in the slum but never in his days had he expected it to happen to him.
