Chapter nine
Friends
Tiana smiled as she felt a tongue slide against her cheek. 'Bastards snuck in again.' It had been a week since her questioning with Gordon. In this week The Joker had visited her almost every night, it was mainly just insults thrown at him followed by sex but she had also being entertained by him on occasion- a perfect example of this being when she had come home to him running around the apartment in a fit of anger with Ash clutching tightly onto his leg with his claws. It had been a hilarious sight, that is until The Joker had attempted to maul Ash… she now had to make sure those two weren't in the same room… EVER…
"When did you get here?" She mumbled waking up, her eyes opened and met with the dark ones that had green in them. He grinned at her, she knew he was deadly, she knew he could kill her within two seconds but she also knew that she was already in too deep to get out of whatever it was she had with him, not that she was looking to get out…
"I've been here for a while beautiful." He stated with a smile brushing a gloved hand through her bed hair.
Tiana's eyes shot fully open at the sound of his voice. She stared into his dark eyes, the way he had said that shocked her, it seemed so soft… so HUMAN. "Are you okay?" she breathed.
He jumped back and grinned. "Of course I am beautiful." He licked his lips- that reptilian habit was really beginning to piss her off.
"Would you stop that… and its Tiana…" She grumbled moving to sit up, thanking whatever higher power was responsible for The Joker not opening the blinds, she really wasn't in the mood for bright light in her eyes… not that she was ever in the mood.
She shouldn't have thought that so quickly for as soon as she had thought it he bounced over to the blinds and flung them open, the bright light hitting her eyes directly. "Why…?" she groaned placing her forearm over her eyes to block out the light.
"Because I can." He replied simply with his ever present grin.
"Jerk…" she mumbled pulling herself out of the bed.
"Oh by all means stay in the bed." His grin widened.
She instantly caught onto what he was hinting towards. "Not this morning, I need to be ready soon anyway…" she trailed off murmuring something about 'stupid Keiko and her organizing things'.
"Aww… does poor little baby have to go out with her friends?" his voice sounded like a parent who would talk baby-talk to their child but it was also taunting and showed that he was making fun of her.
She glared in response. "How about we put you in a dress and you go in my place?" she batted her lashes innocently.
He grinned before walking over to her walk-in wardrobe, he rummaged through a few things before walking out holding a bright pink sundress Keiko had bought her. "Do you think this will make my hips look big?" he pressed the dress to his front and inspected himself in the mirror.
Tiana blinked. Once. Twice. Three times. There was a long stretch of silence where she just stared at him, during this time the image of The Joker in that dress pulling a pose appeared in her mind. His hands on his hips, and his hairy legs perfectly visible. Her upper lip twitched before she fell back onto her bed in a fit of laughter.
"Oh- hahahahahaha- oh my god! Hahahahaha!!!" In her laughter whatever words she tried to say came out high pitched and unintelligible. "God!! Hahahahahahaha-snort- hahaha!! I snorted!! Hahahahaha!!" It was now unknown just what she was laughing at but she was laughing at something- it was more than likely a mixture of things.
The Joker stared at her for a few moments before joining her in her laughter.

"Would you like something to drink or eat?" Tiana panted coming down from her laughter, she noticed that the dress was now on the floor, not that she minded much, it wasn't as though she was going to wear it any time soon.
He shook his head. "No- No thanks beautiful."
"Alright, I'll be back in a minute…" she mumbled opening the door to go into the living room. once she had taken her first step out of the room and was about to close to door behind her she heard the front door knob jiggle as though someone was about to open it. 'Fuck!! Keiko!!! Rachel!!' she didn't know that they were coming here, she thought they were going to meet somewhere.
'Fuck! Joker. In. My. Room!' her mind screamed. Acting on impulse she ran back into her room slamming the door behind her. "You!!" she pointed at him angrily.
He blinked. "Yes?"
"Where the fuck can I hide you!?" she panicked lightly looking around he room for places to hide him. 'Not the wardrobe- Keiko's always wandering in there.' She glanced at her bathroom. 'THERE!' she grinned and grabbing The Joker's arm she rushed the two of them in there and locked the door.

"I'm really happy you organized this Keiko, I really enjoy these girls days," Rachel offered Keiko a smile. "Especially now with the 'Joker' issue I really need to take time off from everything."
Keiko smiled. "I enjoy these days too!" she beamed. "But I'm also happy because it gets my sister out of her room and or that liquor store."
Rachel chuckled lightly. "Agreed."
Keiko's smile brightened. "Now I'll go see if her highness is awake- Oh hello Ash!!" she petted the kittens head before bouncing off to her sister's room.

"Tiana? You home?" Keiko opened the bedroom door and pocked her head through the crack of the door. "Helloooo…?" she stepped into the room. 'The curtains are open so she's probably in the bathroom. "Tiana you in the bathroom?" she called taking a step towards the bathroom.

"Don't you say anything." Tiana hissed under her breath glaring at The Joker who was grinning at her as though he was plotting something.
He gave her the 'I won't' look before taking a step towards her.
Tiana narrowed her eyes at him and opened her mouth to speak only to be cut off by her sister's voice. "Tiana?"
She let out a sight feeling a migraine setting in. "What?" she called out.
"Oh! You're in there!" was the reply.
"Yeh but don't come in! What do you want?" She was too busy talking to Keiko through the wall that she didn't notice The Joker stepping closer to her.
"I just wanted to tell you the Rachel's here and that once you're ready we'll leave for a GIRLS DAY!!" Even though Tiana couldn't see it she knew her sister was raising her fist in glee.
"O-OKAY!!" her voice became high pitched like a scream as she felt The Joker pull down her pajama pants. She glared down at him. "What the FUCK are you doing!?" she growled under her breath.
"Tiana, are you alright?" Came Keiko's concerned voice.
Tiana shivered as she felt something wet slide against a still healing wound on her thigh- the wound was a cut he had given her after she had stopped him from maiming Ash- it was still sensitive however the sensitivity sent sparks through her at his touch.
"Shit…" she cursed under her breath, he hands clenched resisting the urge to bury themselves in his hair. "I-I'm fine." Her voice came out somewhat shaky as she felt sloppy kisses make their way up her thigh.
"Are you sure Tiana?" Keiko pressed not realizing any difference in Tiana's voice.
"Y-Yes!" She snapped- she really didn't want Keiko here, just on the off chance she heard or saw anything.
The Joker bit his lips to hold back laughter as he raised a cool knife to Tiana's thighs, he chuckled under his breath as he felt her shiver at the feeling of the cool knife brushing against her skin.
"Are you absolutely sure Tiana?" Keiko pressed completely unaware of what was happening on the other side of the door. "It's just, it seems as though there is something wrong with you, I mean all week you've seemed so distant… you're always staying in your room and when you come out you look exhausted and don't think I didn't see the cut on your lip three days ago." There was a paused. "Is there something you wanna talk about?"
"N-No!" Tiana let out a strangled gasp as she felt a tongue slide up her inner thighs. "You fucking asshole." She growled under her breath.
"Tiana? You sound strange please tell me what's wrong." Keiko pressed finally noticing something different about her sister's voice.
Tiana took a deep breath and as soon as she could speak properly she replied. "No, I'm f-FINE!" she shouted the last part as she felt a finger enter her roughly. She glared down at the man who was looking up at her with a grin.
"Tiana? Please, tell me what's wrong? Are you sick? You've been acting strange since you got back from that bastards clutches! What did he do to you!?"
"I'm fine!" she held back a moan as he began to move the finger. 'You fucking asshole!' she wanted to slap him or swat his fingers away, or something but considering that with his spare hand he was tracing a knife very close to her private area she wasn't going to try anything. "H-He didn't hurt me-" she bit on her hand to stop herself from crying out at the feeling of a second finger being added and the pumping of his fingers becoming forceful.
"Tiana?" Keiko questioned knowing her sister hadn't finished her sentence.
The Joker almost rolled his eyes at Keiko's ignorance.
Tiana took several quick shallow breaths to calm herself before answering. "Don't worry about me Keiko. Just go away and let me bathe." How she managed to sound like her old grouchy self amazed her but given the situation she wasn't going to complain.
"Well if you're sure…" Keiko spoke slowly.
"YeSSSS!!" one of her hands shot down to bury itself in the greasy green tresses. "P-Please g-go…" he voice was failing now as he added a third finger. "Oh fuck…" she murmured.

On the other side of the door Keiko had a strange look on her face. 'Something is wrong…' but she didn't say anything, she simply turned and walked away.

As soon as The Joker heard the door in the other room close he removed his slick fingers and rose. "Hey beautiful." He grinned.
She glared at him weakly. "Bastard." She grumbled inwardly hoping he would finish what he started soon.
However much to her dismay he moved to the door and opened it. Her eyes widened lightly. "W-Where?" she spoke in something of a daze.
He grinned at her and gave her one of his lopsided salutes. "Well I have to go, people to see places to blow up." With that he ran into her room.
It took her a few moments to realize he was gone. "Hey!" she snapped running into her room only to find him gone. She blinked. "How the fuck…?" she mumbled looking around the room for any signs of him. "I wish the bastard would tell me how he does that…" she grumbled going back into her bathroom to get ready for her day out.

"So Tiana how have you been feeling lately?" Rachel questioned as they sat at their table in the Chinese restaurant Keiko had taken them to.
"Just dandy." Tiana replied blankly poking her chicken and rice with the fork.
Keiko sighed. 'You could at least try to sound happy to be here.' She took a bite of her food. 'You seem to be more grumpy lately, what did that bastard do to you…?' "So Rachel." Keiko spoke in her bubbly voice drawing the attention from Tiana. "Are you and Harvey going to get married?"
Tiana raised a brow in amusement as Rachel choked on her fried rice. "Well umm…" she went a shade of red.
"Well he seems to like you A LOT." Keiko grinned and took a sip of her drink.
"Well umm… that goes without saying but…" Rachel tried to form a sentence but that proved to be easier said that done, especially with the bright, expectant look she was receiving from Keiko.
Tiana inwardly grinned as she watched Rachel squirm. 'At least the attentions no longer on me.' she thought taking a sip of her drink.
"Tiana!" Rachel spoke the name as though she was a godsend.
Tiana glanced up at the woman. "What?"
"Keiko tells me you want to go back to work at the liquor store." Rachel waited for Tiana's confirming nod before continuing. "Are you sure that's wise, given your Joker ordeal-" she was cut off when Tiana raised a hand.
"I'm fine and I'd really appreciate it if you two didn't ask me that every two minutes-" she gave them both pointed looks. "And yes, I will be going back to the store." As soon as she had finished she took a sip of her drink.
Rachel looked sad for a moment and Tiana felt somewhat sad given this was the first time Rachel had asked, but she had had enough of it! "Tiana… I'm sorry…" Rachel looked up at her. "It's just we're friends and friends are always there for eachother…" she laughed almost nervously. "What I'm trying to say is that if there's ever anything you need to talk about I'm here for you, I'm your friend."
"Me too!" Keiko beamed.
Tiana smiled. "Thanks…" on the inside she was frowning though. 'Would you still be my friends if you knew about who I am involved with?'
