Oh wow... I've recently been exposed to the wonderfulness that is Fake. Thank you Steph, you're my lifesaver. Um... As of now, I've only read up to 4 in the Manga... but it's amazing, and I love it, and I want to write my own. Okay, here goes.

I do not own Fake. If I did, the art would suck. Obviously yaoi in this, and my own character, that goes without saying... Tell me how it is.

Chapter 1

Ryo stood stock-still and took in his situation. There were several armed men around him, a rather beat up looking child, no gender as of yet, and he already had a few gunshot wounds, but nothing seriously life threatening.

"Once we get the ransom, you're gonna die man, no doubt about it."

Ryo rolled his eyes and glanced back at the child.

"What about them?" He motioned with his head.

"Huh?" The idiot turned his head smartly and looked in the kid's general direction. "Oh, him? We've had him since he was little, and neither of us want to lose him just because some upstart cop wants to stop us."

The blonde cop shook his head and sighed. He knew that any second, Dee would pop into the room and shoot the whole room full of lead, because that's what always happened. His eyes went dreamy and he smiled a little. After that, they'd make out a little then be interrupted by Bikki and Carol, then Dee would get pissed off and try to beat Bikki up. His smiled faltered slightly but he was still happy. He loved his little impromptu family, with all its little quirks.

"Hey copper, what you smiling at? You need a shot in the mouth?" The lead thug yelled, getting slightly nervous at the nearly drooling cop.

"Oh..." Ryo was startled out of his reverie and then he looked at the boy trying to get up.

His eyes shot straight at Ryo through the multi coloured bangs. They were multitude of blues mixed into several shots through the magenta. His hair was pitch black and had highlights of every colour running though the knee length strands. He sat up and looked to the roof, muttering a single name.

"Karnel..." He whispered softly, and then looked to the men with guns. "Your days are numbered you know..."

Again, the lead thug sneered and backhanded the boy. But something different happened this time. A black blur raced though the room, the already dim lights had gone out, and the only light now was the moonlight shining in through the broken stained glass of the window. All at once, a groan came over the room and the lights came back on.

Ryo blinked several times and stared in wonder at the strewn about bodies, and the tall blonde man that was helping up the boy.

"Karnel, get him, he was shot." The boy murmured to the man and pushed at his arm slightly.

Karnel moved to Ryo and pulled him up, hoisting him over his shoulder without and effort and pulled the boy out of the room.

A tall blackish whirlwind raced through the hospital hallways, followed by a lavender tornado. The first one stopped abruptly, letting the one behind it crash into him and fall over.

Dee handed JJ's body over to a nurse and continued quickly to Ryo's room. He tucked the roses he had in his hand behind his back and opened the door to his partner's room. Not to disappoint Dee, Ryo was already sitting up, having heard JJ's yells from a few hallways down.

"Hey Dee, what..." Dee cut of the blonde with an urgent kiss to the other man's mouth.

After a few moments, it was surprisingly Dee who backed off again.

"How are you Ryo?" He smiled, handing the flowers to the incapacitated man.

Ryo blinked dazedly at his partner, but then smiled and hugged the flowers to him.

"I'm fine. Really, I'm more worried about the kid that was there with me."

"Oh? The chief didn't really give me much information. What went down?"

Dee seated himself on the edge of the hospital bed and was shocked when another voice intruded upon them.

"I worked for them, if you can call it that, since I was 10. I met someone who tried to help me out and got punished for it. Ryo here walked in on my 'punishment' and decided to pull out his gun."

Dee cuffed Ryo over the head lightly and glared at him.

"But he did take out a few before they got to him. I'm grateful he got the men on me off first. And none of the shots were all too serious... They were all shot up on every drug known to man so their aim suffered a little..."

He put his fore finger and thumb an inch apart, shook his head and then moved his hands about three feet from each other.

"By the way, I'm Duet." He extended his hand towards Dee and gave a friendly smile.

Dee shook his hand and nodded.

"I'm Dee, Ryo's partner. I am slightly curious about how you managed to get out of there though."

Duet blushed slightly and then shrugged.

"My friend Karnel jumped in with the help of his friends and kicked some major ass."

"Karnel?" Ryo looked to Dee with a mildly intrigued expression.

"He's new on the force... Just showed up."

"Yeah..." Duet scratched his head and fiddled with the ends of his hair. "I didn't know that until today as well. He found out things through me..."

The boy cast his eyes towards the floor and sat on his bed.

Dee raised an eyebrow and then motioned to Duet.

"How old are you?"

"I'm 14."

Heh... Well, this is my first Fake fic, be kind. More later if it's good enough...
