Moar sex in the first part. It's only the first part, though. Skip it, the rest of this chapter is important, though...

Koetesu arched happily into the heat pressing along his back, pale hands rubbing along his sides and raking their nails over much darker skin just below the white bandages, leaving trails of red. He could feel the sweat dripping down his forehead, knew that he was damn near drooling. There was fingers inside of him, three, stretching him to his limits, rubbing teasingly along his insides, ane everytime they moved, his knees shook, barely holding him up. The blonde's teeth sank into his good shoulder, and he let out a keen, clawing at the hardwood under them.

"...Bunny...B-Bunny please-!" his voice was practically a low hum, at this point, but the message was wide and clear. The other's perfect teeth bit into him again with a low growl, and he yanked out his fingers, jamming his other hand into Kotetsu's open mouth, and he made a garbled noise of disapointment, feeling open and empty and exposed.

Barely holding back another moan as Barnaby's eyes raked over his prone from, Kotetsu thrust weakly back into the blonde. He couldn't seem to stop shivereing.

He could feel short puffs of breath along the side of his neck as the blonde gently fucked his mouth with his clean fingers, rubbing them along his tongue, and bending his head into the crook of dark, flushed skin. Hot, heavy hardness pressed insistantly into the back of his thigh. "It's Barnaby, damn you." he whispered acidly into the skin just below his ear just as Kotetsu's elbows slammed against the ground and he released a hearty muffled cry when he was suddenly filled -

Kotetsu shot up out of bed, falling on the floor with a dull thud and a yelp, groggily blinking sleep away, before dismally assesing the situation in his pants. The sex had been great, there was no denying that. He had not a clue as to where Bunny had learned half the stuff that he'd done to him, but he handn't exactly been in the best position to ask. Koetesu was definitely okay with this, really, but considering that this was the third day in a row that he'd woken up sweating and with a hard on, he decided that enough was enough.

If he was going to take a holiday, he was going to do this properly.

After they'd charged into the abandoned warehouse to find both Pao Lin and the mayor's son perfectly safe, and gained a newfound respect for Dragon Kid, Tiger and Bunny were left with pretty much nothing to do. As it turned out, the reason why Lloyds had called them that morning wasn't to give then a new mission, or even to give them hell for loosing their charge in the first place, but to give them a little time off. Crime, it seemed, was on holiday, and therefore, a few of the Heroes were also getting some down time.

Grumbling, he rose from the floor, rubbing his lower back and trying to will his morning wood away. What was he, fifteen again? Then again, it wasn't really normal to be having sex with your partner of barely a month, anyway, and it definitely wasn't kosher to be dreaming of said sex afterwards, no matter how deprived of sex you were beforehand. How had that night even come to pass, anyway?

Time for a well deserved actual vacation, the brunette decided, holding the old fashioned phone to his ear as it rang, one hand on the wheel of his car. "Hello, Kaede!" he cheerfully called into the reciever when she picked up. "It's your papa!"

"I know who it is, Dad." His smile grew wider as he turned onto the bridge that would get him to Oriental Town. "Why are you calling? I have to be at school soon, you know."

Ahh, she was so much like her mother, always serious about her schoolwork. "Yes, I know. Guess where I'm headed right now?" He frowned a bit at the traffic, but it wasn't anything that he wasn't willing to wait for, so it was kind of irrelevant. His wrist beeped, and he looked at it casually. Shit, it was Bunny...it would be pretty rude not to answer, and it could be something important "I'm on my way to come and see you~!" he cooed into the phone. "But listen, I'll be there when you get home from school, okay? Papa has some business he has to take care of before he can come."

Even though she thought that he was probably lying, he could tell that she was happy when she hung up on him. Oh, kids these days. Speaking of which, he poked the button on the bracelet that answered the call just before it went to his voicemail. "Hey, Bunny~! How's it going?"

"Old man. I'm just calling to let you know that I'll be out of town for a couple days." Bunny sounded...happy? Angry? There was some shuffling, and the whir of a car, which allowed Kotetsu to think that he was also on the road. "I think, I may have a lead on who killed my parents." Koetesu finally defined exactly what Bunny was sounding like—excited, in a bloodthirsty kind of way.

He smiled again, though this time it was a bit nervously. "That's great, Bunny! You see, I left a message on your phone myself this morning, I'm also heading-"

An explosion cut him off, barely a few feet in front of his car, and he slammed on the breaks, swearing heavily.

"Old man? Old man! Hey, answer me!"

He woke up a couple minutes later, to Bunny yelling frantically over his wrist phone and a throbbing headache. "...Aha, I'm fine, don't worry. I just hit my head a bit." he mumbled in reassurance through the phone line. "Listen, Bunny, I'll call you back, Okay? There was an explosion and-" "Bonjour, Heroes." Damn it, Agnes. "Hello, director." he responded dismally, hearing Bunny do the same. She made a confused noise; she probably hadn't even called Bunny in the first place. "We were on the phone, you interrupted." he explained, wiping the dab of blood from his forehead. "Whatever, continue with what you were saying."

"How rude, bothering him on his day off, Tiger." she chided, blatantly ignoring the fact that it was his day off, too, damnit. "Anyway, I'm calling because there were terrorist bombings on thw Bronx bridge leading out of the city. We need you Heroes to head over as quickly as possible, as the perps might still be around."

"No, there's no one here." He heard dual noises of shock and uncomprehension and sighed. Bunny really must have been in a hurry if he hadn't even bothered to check his voicemail before he left, stupid kid. "I was heading out to see my daughter, since it's also a day off for me, and I'm currently onthe Bronx Bridge. I think it must have been set up beforehand, but there's no one-"

A sceam cut him off from outside, and he grabbed the spare domino mask that he kept in the glovebox, for emergancies. Leaping out of the car, and wuickly locking it behind him, he ran towards the source of the noise, and had to pause for a second when he saw the cause. "Nevermind," he panted, "Cancel everything I just said. There's several mobile armors here, armed. Agnes, if you want your story, you're going to want to get here fast, because they're going to start shooting people any minute now, and I can't just let that happen, you know that."

He heard the click of her handing up on him, but Bunny was still on the line. "Stay where you are, Old man, I'm coming to help you out-"

"Not a chance." Kotetsu frowned, and placed the domino mask on his face, covering the receptor of the wristband, though he doubted it would do much. "Everyone, please evacuate back towards the city. The other Heroes will be here soon, but for now, I, Wild Tiger, will take care of things." People pretty much began sprinting away at his prompting, which was good, and he uncovered his wrist. "You've been waiting for twenty years to get this done, haven't you? So do and get things done!"

The conflict in Bunny's quiet mumbling was apparent, and starting to piss him off. "Look, just trust me, Okay?" He knew that he was going to be in realt trouble if he messed this up now, but he grit his teeth against the implications of Bunny's shocked and uncertain noise. "I can handle things here. Go get your man, Bunny."

"You don't even have your suit! You're just as vulerable as a citizen right now, up against only you know how many mobile suits!" Bunny yelled at him, and the almost desprate quality of his voice shocked Kotetsu. "You've already been hurt twice because of my negligance-"

Kotetsu balked, staring at his wristwatch like it was possesed, and then jerked his head to the side as on of the mechs finally relized that he was still there, and walking towards them. "Are you serious? You're blaming yourself for that?" he shook his head quickly as if to reinforce his denial, though the blonde couldn't see it, and talked over the blonde's talk of duty, not really wanting to hear it. "Look, there's more important things going on for you right now than helping out an old man like me. Just go, you're distracting me!"

He didn't give him any more chance to reject him, hanging up quickly, before having to quickly jump back at a stray burst of gunfire from the mechs. A loud blare of a horn broke his focus and he was almost shot, though he couldn't be mad when he saw what was honking at him. "Saito!"

This wasn't happening.

He knewthat those bloody things in the toy store had looked like something Kriem would like. The second that he'd yanked the door off of the cockpit and saw that Mad Bear staring back at him, glowing a very faint orange, his heart plunged into his stomach, and a couple bullets had pinged off of his suit from his distraction, leaving a few dents.

Shit was going downhill extremely fast, and Kotetsu couldn't think of anything to stop it. "What are you thinking, Kriem...?" he mumbled to himself, hearing Agnes order some of the Heroes elsewhere. There was twleve more of these things, Goddamn. At least they weren't especially hard to take out, as long as you could dodge the bullets for long enough, and if he wanted to be able to do that, he needed to move, and quickly. He called up Agnes, "Those things are being run by stuffed animals!" he said as soon as she answered, and then at her disbelief, "No, seriously. Have you ever heard of a Mad Bear? I went to go and get my kid a stuffed toy and saw them in the shop—they're what's piloting them somehow!"

He didn't let her answer, though she knew that the cameras above him where whirring around, trying to get a glimpse of what he was talking about. Kotetsu almost facepalmed, pointing in the direction of the pink plush that was currently running away from him. Damn it, Kriem, those things were seriously ugly.

'Powers exhausted in two minutes' his suit supplied helpfully, and he grimaced. Standing from his position crouched by the edge of the bridge, he immidiately got back to work destorying the mechs, not bothering to rip them open now that he knew what was inside. A simple explosion would render the bears autonomy rather ineffective, considering they had no opposable thumbs with which to wield weapons, or anything like that.

Or did they? Damn it.

His muscles strained against his suit, every single one pulled taught as he fought to hold on to the car and his lifeline at the same time. The strain on his not-yet-healed shoulder caused him to grti his teeth as he felt the fresh bandages begin to soak through again under the armor.

He couldn't let her fall. He couldn'tcouldn'tcouldn't-

"Ah, Damnit!" Summoning reserves of strength he didn't know he had with a roar, Kotetsu brought his arms together, connecting the two wires and suspending the woman in the car. He staggered back from the connection, rubbing his now sore arms, and called out to her when he felt that his voice wouldn't shake too much. "These will hold you up for a while. I'll come back to help you when I can-"

He'd gone back too far. His heel slid downwards on the steep slope that was the area that had been blown away by the first explosions, and he would have been able to regain his balance if not for another bomb pretty much directly beside him that blew him backwards further.

Everything seemed to slow down. He closed his eyes, and braced himself.

'Ah, Tomoe, I'm sorry.'

He slammed into something hard and metal with a large clang and a graceless "Oof", and felt himself being propelled upwards, instead of what he was expecting. Winded, he couldn't open his eyes for a second more, and when he did, Kotetsu was pleasently surprised.

"Are you alright?" The familiar, ridiculous pink suit that belonged to his partner asked him, somewhat cheekily.

"Whuh...Bunny...Why are you here?"

His partner laughed. "I haven't carried you like this in a long time, Old man. Have you gained weight?"

The question was a tease if he'd ever heard one, and Kotetsu couldn't even respond for a minute he was too busy trying to get over the fact that holy shit, he wasn't dead. It was only when the two of them were back on solid ground that he could find the air to speak, though he couldn't keep the gratefulness out of his voice. "Shut up. Put me down." he did, surprisingly, and Kotetsu couldn't keep the grin off of his face. "How did it go?"

"He's serving a two hundred and fifty year sentance," it sounded like his partner was smiling at him as he dusted himself off, and he was kind of tempted to do a little happy dance, though he obviously didn't. "I can go and see him at any time. Besides, now I don't owe you for saving me anymore."

Kotetsu had a really stupid expression on now, he was sure. "You didn't owe me in the first place, idiot. Now, lets finish up here, and then we can go pay this guy a visit."

"Try not to get in my way." Yeah, Bunny was definitely teasing him, now.

"Smartass-"

The hatch on one of the suits opened, cueing the rest of them to pop open, and interrupting what would have been the start of a seriously awesome tag-team battle. "Stuffies-?" Bunny asked confusedly before the Mad Bear heads blasted into the air, leaving a trail of smoke behind them. "Exploding rocket stuffies. Now I think I've seen it all."

Tiger was about to bite back with something sarcastic, but has interrupted by a card falling in front of his face, followed by a few thousand more. "What...?" He snatched one out of the air, and the Ouroboros greeted him like a slap to the face. If he didn't already think that Kriem was behind this, this would have definitely cued him in. "This is..."

A slight rattling drew his attention to his partner, who was shaking and holding a card of his own. "Bunny-!"

"Resistance is futile. I repeat, resistance is futile." There was a sudden, mechanical blare from above, and both up them looked skywards. A massive airship was simply floating there, an equally massive screen displaying the same symbol that was on the cards that were scattered around their feet, before switching to Kriem's now much older form. And Goddamnit if she didn't look damn near the same that she did twenty years ago with a different haircut. There was no mistaking it now, he was neck deep in some serious shit. "Good evening, citizens of Sternbild. Our name is Ouroboros."

Bunny made a strangled noise of rage, and Tiger could have puked. The insides of his stomatch were whirring about along with the tandem of cursing in his head. "We now control the main routes going both in and out of Sternbild, and you can consider yourselves hostages for the time being." She laughed, and Kotetsu died a little inside. "We have only one demand, and it's fairly simple. We ask that you release our comerade currently being held in the Abas prison." here it comes, the real shit storm, fuck he was going to die. "If you do not comply, we will destroy half of the pillars supporting the city, and you will all sink. I wonder, how many of Sternbild's twenty million people will survive..." she gave a small, eerie giggle, and his stomach lurched. "If you wish to save yourselves, release him immidiately...our comrade, Jake Martinez. Byebye~"

The broadcast cut out, and Kotetsu just sat there trembling, looking utterly lost.

"ARGHH! It's like they knew! They fucking knew! I was so close!"

The scream, anguished and pissed off, cut into his train of thought, and he spared a glance at his partner, who was shaking just as hard. "Bunny...?" he asked quietly, though he wasn't sure that he wanted to know. His heart pounded at the blonde's ramblings, and he knew that he was going to regret it but- "What?"

"Jake Martinez..." Bunny was seething, breathing hard and his hands clenched into trembling balls, though he managed to swallow hard and calm down enough to finish explaining. "Jake Martinez is the man who killed my parents."

And if Kotetsu thought he was in shit before, things just got a thousand times worse.

A/N: Damn, my Canadian is showing again-I can't imagine anyone saying 'papa' with no French accent. It's weird to me, even though Kotetsu and Kaede are Japanese, xD
