Reviwer Shout Out: Thanks you...MoonlitxAngel and Monkey and Cookee
Blood Red Kiss Chapter 6
The last bit of officers rushed into the task force conference room, some nearly spilling their coffees as they rushed to their seats. After a few moments of shuffling chairs the room fell silent. Special Agent Gottwald rose from his seat at the head of the conference table.
"Alright," Gottwald began as his eyes scanned around the table, "The press has been riding on us for a while and need I remind you the attention that the White Rose Killer seems to be showing to Officer Kururugi, because of this I have decided to bring in an expert from Washington."
Gottwald picked up the phone in front of him dialing to his secretary.
"Yes It's me send him up please. Room 1204. Thank you." Gottwald hung up the phone.
Whispers began to spread around the table. Who was Gottwald bringing in? Why were they sending in another person from Washington? Its bad enough they had one agent, now they had to deal with two? These among other things were being said at the table. All whispers within the room were silenced when there was a soft knock on the conference room door.
"You may enter." Gottwald said.
All eyes fell upon the door and who entered door. What entered the room was something that the officers were not suspecting at all.
"Hello, my name is Rolo. It's a pleasure to meet you all." Rolo said with a small smile that appeared and disappeared just as quickly.
Rolo looked no older than 16 years old. He stood in front of the officers making eye contact with each and every officer; which by the looks on some of the officers' faces slightly intimidated them. His eyes were soft lavender and his short dirty blonde hair was combed neatly. He wore a simple black suit with a white shirt and black tie.
An officer on the corner of the table scoffed and raised his eyebrow. "You're kidding right? We are getting help from some random kid. This is what Washington sent us? Is this another way to spit in our faces saying a child is better than us?" The officer's voice rose in anger, his eyes glaring at Rolo then at Gottwald.
The room was filled with complete silence as all eyes in the room fell on Rolo, waiting to see what he was going to do.
Rolo turned to the officer and an almost eerie smile fell on his lips. His eyes darkened for a moment. That moment was all it took for everyone in the room to who had any opinions about him to keep those opinions to themselves. No one could even look Rolo in the eye after seeing that look.
Gottwald cleared his throat in order to break the silence that grew from the nervousness that spread throughout the room.
"Rolo here is one of the FBI's best experts when it comes to botany and its various uses. He is also renowned in his field, having written various books on the subject. He is a professor at John Hopkins University in Baltimore. A number of jaws around the table dropped in disbelief.
"All of you within this room should be honored," Rolo began "because the people within this room are going to be the ones to bring this monster known as the White Rose Killer to justice." Rolo's eyes scanned the room making eye contact with each and every one of the officers.
"Now shall we begin?" Rolo said with a small smirk playing on his lips.
"Gottwald that is some lot you got under you." Rolo said within the confines of Gottwald's office.
"I have to deal with what I got Rolo. This is supposedly the best that this entire department has to offer. Unfortunately, they are still not too keen on having an outside force be involved in with what they believe is their own case." Gottwald said as he took a seat at his desk.
Rolo took a seat in one of the chairs in front of Gottwald's desk and crossed his legs in front of him. He began to browse through the files he had picked up from Gottwald's desk.
Rolo paused at one file. "Who is this?" he asked quickly showing Gottwald the picture within the folder.
"Oh that is Officer Kururugi. One of the crime scenes was actually at his apartment and the killer even sent the flowers that he leaves on h the bodies to Kururugi here. All of that and more details are inside his file." Gottwald paused to take a sip of his coffee. "Kururugi may not look like much but they say he is a decent officer, but there is something about him…" Gottwald trailed off.
Rolo silently looked through Kururugi's file. "I want to see the flowers that you spoke of." Rolo said looking up from the file.
"Oh yes, they are currently being analyzed by the head of the forensic department Dr. Lloyd Asplund." Gottwald said
Lloyd as usual was alone in the solitude and silence of his lab. He liked it that way; just him and his equipment. At this time however he was on edge. Someone thought it would be a brilliant idea to break that solitude. This young 16 year old was intruding on his sanctuary and to make matters worse this young boy was touching everything. If there was anything that would set Lloyd off it was when people touched things in his lab. As Lloyd watched the irritating boy, he could tell that this boy was familiar with a lab and had some intelligence hidden behind that almost bored look he had in his eyes.
"This equipment seems to be a tad mediocre at best. How can anyone work in this?"Rolo said aloud to no one in particular as he spun one of the machines that spin test tubes.
The frown on Lloyd's face deepened and Lloyd's fist tightened in aggravation. Rolo stopped in front of the infamous white roses.
'Beautiful' he thought o himself. He started at the flowers for a few minutes in complete silence.
"It's fairly obvious that these flowers have been genetically modified. I wonder where our killer learned to create something this…"Rolo paused as he lightly brushed his fingers against the pure white petals 'exquisite' he thought to himself. "… Interesting."
"Thank you for allowing us to come to your lab Dr. Asplund." Rolo said with an almost mocking smile.
Lloyd's eyes twitched slightly. 'I never gave you permission to be in here in the first place' he thought. For a quick second he wondered how much trouble he would get in if he attempted to strangle the young boy.
Gottwald gave Lloyd a small nod and he and Rolo left the lab to return to Gottwald's office.
"How long has it been since the last murder?" Rolo asked as Gottwald shut the door to his office.
"It's been almost two weeks since the last one." Gottwald responded as he quickly checked his notes to make sure he was correct, which he was.
"Doesn't that seem a bit odd to you? Having such a long time period between kills." Rolo asked as he revisited the files on the case.
Gottwald though about Rolo's question. He did have a point. The previous murders were much more close together.
"I have no idea Rolo." Gottwald started. "All I do know is that Kururugi has something to do with all of this. It is no coincidence that the killer knows him by name and used his apartment. If we are going to catch this killer it's going to be with by using him." Gottwald paused. "I still have a feeling that it is him though."
After a few more hours' discussion, the two decided that it was a long day head home for the evening. As Rolo headed out of the precinct his eyes fell upon Suzaku Kururugi. Suzaku was having what seemed to be a relaxed conversation with a female officer. Their eyes met for a split second but Rolo continued out the door with a smirk forming on his lips.
"What was that kid doing here?" Suzaku asked ", he seems really creepy."
Cecile laughed softly. "Oh that's Rolo; he is the newest addition to the White Rose Killer Task Force. Gottwald just brought him in today. He's a child prodigy. Only 16 years old and is a professor at John Hopkins and works for the FBI. He also…" Suzaku cut her off.
"Okay. Cecile, I got it. I wasn't asking for his resume." Suzaku said with a sigh.
"Oops I was rambling wasn't I?" Cecile asked and Suzaku gave her a nod.
"Sorry, I just remember seeing him in the paper. They were giving him recognition for being one of the youngest professors to teach in the nation. Let alone at such a prestigious school as John Hopkins.
Suzaku sighed. "So he is really smart. Why is it necessary to add another person from Washington to the task force?"
Cecile sighed. "Well Suzaku they need the help the public is getting nervous. This case is pretty high profile. There haven't been murders that were this bad in a while. We need all the help we can get. The pressure is mounting. I bet even Gottwald is feeling it. It may be another reason why Rolo was brought in."
"I wish I could do more." Suzaku said with an aggravated sigh, "I really want to know why this bastard keeps singling me out. I haven't done anything. It really makes me look like an accomplice." Suzaku shook his head. "You know what Cecile? I am done with my cases for the day so I am going to head out." Suzaku said as he stood up at his desk and began to gather his things.
"Alright Suzaku," Cecile said as she placed a hand on Suzaku's arm, "Be careful. It would be a shame if anything bad happened to you." Cecile said as she looked Suzaku in the eye and smiled.
"See you tomorrow, Cecile." Suzaku said as he headed out.
As Suzaku entered the Lamperouge household, he smelled the aroma of food being cooked.
"I'm home!" he called as he set his things down in his bedroom.
"Welcome home Suzaku, we're in the kitchen!" Nunnally shouted the best she could.
Suzaku walked into the kitchen was stopped in tracks by what was in front of him. Lelouch was wearing an apron and a chef's hat cooking away. He moved in the kitchen as if he was a professional chef. One minute he was dicing some onions on the cutting board. The next minute, he was mixing some batter in a bowl for what looked like some kind of dessert, as he preheated the oven. This was all followed by a quick stirring of a few pots that were on the stove.
"Lelouch, you can cook?" Suzaku's shock caused Nunnally to erupt into a small fit of the giggles.
"Yes, I can Suzaku. Does my appearance make you think otherwise?" Lelouch gave Suzaku a raised eyebrow.
"No, no…it's just… I…uh…" Suzaku's face started to slowly turn red as he fumbled for what to say without insulting Lelouch anymore than he already did.
Nunnally still giggling attempts save Suzaku, "Its fine Suzaku. I understand your surprise but onii-sama has been cooking since we were small. He's actually quite good." Lelouch chops extra loudly at Nunnally's comment.
"Actually good, Nunnally?" Lelouch repeated as he sighed heavily.
Suzaku smirked. "Well I think that is really amazing Lelouch that you can cook. I do have to say that the 'Kiss the Cook' apron adds a very nice touch though."
A quick glare from Lelouch had Suzaku erupt in laughter. The frown deepened as Suzaku began to laugh and that had Suzaku laugh even harder. Nunnally joined in on Suzaku's laughter
"It's not that funny Suzaku. I just don't like to get my clothes dirty, is all. Now get out you are distracting me." Lelouch said shooing him out of the kitchen.
"Yes, sir" Suzaku said laughter still in his voice.
When the food was finished being prepared the three sat down to eat the food. Suzaku didn't let go of the whole apron thing and Nunnally couldn't help but laugh at the way Suzaku was provoking Lelouch. After the meal was finished, Lelouch was helping Nunnally prepare for bed.
"Lelouch, could you ask Suzaku to come in here for a minute?" Nunnally asked
Lelouch smiled softly as he set Nunnally down in her bed. "Of course, Nunnally hold on while I go get him."
Seconds later Suzaku was in the door way to her room with Lelouch.
"Yes Nunnally?" Suzaku asked.
"Lelouch is it okay if I speak to Suzaku in private?" Nunnally asked with a sweet smile.
"Yes that is fine." Lelouch said and with that he left the room.
"Suzaku" Nunnally called come here. Suzaku obeyed and sat in the char that was next to Nunnally's bed.
Nunnally smiled at Suzaku. "Suzaku," Nunnally began, "I just wanted to thank you."
"Thank me? Thank me for what? It is you I should be thanking. You and Lelouch have opened up your home to me and have been so kind as well." Suzaku started shocked by her statement.
"Suzaku, I have to thank you because you…" she paused, "you make my brother happy."
Suzaku was taken aback. "I make Lelouch happy?"
"Yes, you make him happy. He may have me but there are times when I know Lelouch needs the company of others, not just me. He spends so much time taking care of me that…" her voice trails and tears began to stream down her face. "I feel…I feel as if I hold him back from living his own life."
The tears that fell from Nunnally's eyes pulled at Suzaku's heart.
She continued, "For the first time in his life he has company that he enjoys beside me and he is happy. That is all I want for him. I want Lelouch to find happiness, and you Suzaku. You are doing that for him and I am eternally grateful" Nunnally smiled as she wiped her own tears away.
"Sorry about the tears. It's just that..." Nunnally started but Suzaku stopped her.
"It's okay Nunnally. You can cry. I know how much you care about your brother. There is nothing wrong with sharing tears for someone who is important to you." Suzaku said as he gently grabbed her hand and squeezed it.
"Thank you, Suzaku. Those words mean more than you know." Nunnally said with a tired smile.
She then proceeded to yawn. "Well I am going to go to sleep. Good Night, Suzaku."
"Good Night, Nunnally." Suzaku said as he left the room.
Suzaku walked into the living room to see Lelouch watching television. "She is all yours." Suzaku said as he took a seat on the sofa.
Lelouch looked up and smiled. He then proceeded to Nunnally's room. Five minutes later he returned and sat next to Suzaku on the couch. The two sat in silence for a while. It was Suzaku who ended up breaking the silence first.
"Lelouch," he whispered. "I didn't mean to offend you earlier, you know with the whole apron thing." Guilt was very apparent in Suzaku's voice.
"Suzaku, it's okay. You shouldn't burden yourself with something so trivial. I knew you were joking." Lelouch sighed and leaned his head on Suzaku's shoulder.
"Oh." Suzaku said in a small voice.
"Suzaku there aren't many things that can get me upset. I doubt anything that you do could bother me." Lelouch said sincerely.
"Oh well that makes me feel a whole lot better." Suzaku said smiling and started to blush slightly. The two continued to watch television in silence.
"Suzaku," Lelouch said in a faint whisper.
"Hmmm." Suzaku responded still watching the television.
"Have you ever loved someone?" Lelouch asked. Lelouch could feel Suzaku's body tense up when he asked the question.
"Well I have been in some relationships in the past." Suzaku said body still tens e as he spoke.
"You didn't answer the question, Suzaku." Lelouch said softly.
Suzaku swallowed. Lelouch sat up and looked Suzaku in the face. Suzaku's eyes darted to the floor. He couldn't look Lelouch in the face for some reason.
"Have you ever truly loved someone Suzaku? Loved someone so much that it hurts?" Lelouch's voice was barely above a whisper. Suzaku's mind went blank his throat dry, he couldn't think let alone speak. Lelouch's question caught him off guard and on top of that his heart began to race, as if it was ready to explode within his chest.
Suzaku suddenly turned to Lelouch and kissed him. Lelouch responded immediately and returned the kiss. Lelouch's response surprised Suzaku so much that his lips parted. Lelouch took this opportunity to deepen their kiss. Slowly Lelouch leaned back onto the sofa; their kiss intensifying with each passing second. Slowly the two separated to take a breath.
Lelouch's face was flushed with tints of crimson on his cheeks. His lips were still slightly parted from their kiss. Suzaku gazed into those violet eyes.
"Lelouch," Suzaku began "There is something about you I cannot resist." He whispered. "I think I am…" Lelouch cut him off with a quick kiss and ran his hand through Suzaku's hair.
"I feel the same way Suzaku." Lelouch said "But now," Lelouch said as he inched closer to Suzaku's face. Suzaku could feel Lelouch's hot breath on his face
"It's not time for words." Lelouch said
And with that Suazku recaptured Lelouch's lips in a passionate kiss and it became a rush to remove one's clothing. Suzaku's hands slowly caressed Lelouch's abdomen as he began to place small butterfly kisses on Lelouch's neck. Suzaku's s hand made its way to Lelouch's already hard member; lightly stroking it.
A shiver ran through Lelouch's body as a soft moan escaped his lips. "Take me." Lelouch said in a heated whisper.
Suazku wasted no time as he too began to feel heat resonate between his thighs. He positioned himself between Lelouch's thighs and slowly pushed himself into Lelouch. Almost instantly Lelouch began to tighten himself around Suzaku. A heated gasp escaped Suzaku at his surprise to how tight Lelouch was but that didn't matter because at that moment he began to pound into Lelouch; soon they were in a solid rhythm.
Lelouch bit his lip to prevent himself from shouting too loud. Flesh hit upon flesh and soon each was approaching their own limit. Lelouch arched his back as climaxed. He couldn't help but shout Suzaku's name as waves of pleasure swept through him. Suzaku was at his limit as well and he spilled into Lelouch; his body shaking with pleasure as he kissed Lelouch on the forehead. The two were lying on top of each other panting heavily.
"Suzaku," Lelouch said between gasps. "I …"
Suzaku placed a finger on Lelouch's lips.
"No Lelouch. I will say it first." Suzaku said smiling down on him. "I love you Lelouch Lamperouge."
Lelouch smiled back and said, "And I love you Suzaku Kururugi."
