I don't own anything in this story.

"You sure this guy will let us join?" Stripe asked his lifelong friend Battle.

"Hell yeah!" said Battle, slapping Stripe on the back. "With your mad paint skills and these guns…" he said flexing his arms, "We're gonna be in for sure. What I don't know is why you brought this mute with us." Battle said pointing at their silent companion.

"He's cool dude!" said Stripe as they entered the building and rode the elevator to the top. "You should have seen what he did that one night I got jumped by the Saints! His hands were glowing all white and shit, and then he shot the light straight at them! You should have been there; it was so Star Wars dude. And he got that scar out of saving my ass so I owed it to him" he said wrapping an arm around Cross.

Cross stopped suddenly and slowly shifted his gaze from the arm wrapped around his shoulders back to Stripe. Stripe got the hint and removed his arm and took a few steps back. The elevator doors opened up and they stepped out to see E.O. coming towards them.

"Hey guy!" E.O. said waving at Stripe. "I see you brought a couple with you" he said looking Cross and Battle up and down. "You guys ready for your interview?"

"Interview?" said Battle. "I thought we were already in. You were supposed to hook us up with that."

"No way guys" said E.O. shaking his head. "The bosses said that I could invite some friends, but they make the final say on whether you join or not. Come with me." He led them down the cement hallway to the large metal door with the red W painted on it. E.O. knocked on the door and a smiley dark haired man answered.

"What's up E.O.?" asked Tsujido leaning into the hallway.

"Got some new blood for you guys to look over" he answered. Tsujido looked the three of them over.

"Ahhh. Ok, come on in we are just finishing a meeting and I think you guys can help" Tsujido said.

"This is not acceptable sir!" came a high nasally voice inside the room. Tsujido ushered them in and motioned for them to be quiet. At the desk a pale silver haired man sat down, and a shorter black haired man stared out a window. In front of the desk sat a dark tanned man wearing a green suit with a hat and cane (not a-pimp-named-slick-back). On both sides of him sat a scantily dressed woman in skin tight clothing.

"This dude is fucking with my business, and when he fucks with my business he is fucking with the money I pay you!" said the pimp angrily. "Hot Daddy is taking my girls, my business, and your money! He has no respect for any of us and he's got to be stopped for us to make a decent earning!" The silver haired man didn't move a muscle, then said,

"True, he muscled you out of your business but this is a Laissez-faire type of town. You're still alive, you still have girls, why not quit while you're ahead?" Tsujido said.

"How the hell am I ahead?!" exclaimed the pimp. "Stupid bastard is out there running around, laughing his ass off with my ring on his finger…" he said pointing to his bare finer. "And he now has most of my girls! Now what are you guys going to do about it?"

"You want us to bust his place up and get you your business back? Why don't we just collect our percentage from him and cut you out?" Judas asked raising an eyebrow.

The pimp rose to his feet and stomped his foot childishly. "Because that moron doesn't know how to manage! He just uses his boys to go out and beat out competition to keep his numbers up!" he screamed. "You know he actually lets his girls do needles? That is damaging merchandise on so many levels! That is bruising up the body and it is making them crank addicts man. No gentleman looking for a good time wants to hang with a bruised, cracked up, chicken head!"

The dark haired man in the corner spoke. "First of all, you drop that bass out of your voice right now before I slit your throat and turn you into a pez dispenser" Darkwings said turning around. The pimp calmed down and sat back down in the chair before the desk. "Second, we don't care about management skills. We want money. You are right, that guy is messing his shit up, but he's got the cash." The pimp was about to interject when Judas held up his hand and made a closing motion with his fingers, telling the pimp to keep a lid on it.

"Now since you were our client first Peanut Butter we will help you…at a price" Darkwings said. Peanut-butter shifted in his seat.

"What's the price?" asked Peanut Butter,

"For every new girl we get you…"started Darkwings. "The amount of money you give us monthly goes up by 1%."

"For each girl?" asked Peanut Butter. Darkwings nodded at him and looked over to the new faces in the room.

"You guys looking to join?" asked Darkwings.

"Ye-yes sir" answered Stripe.

"Joining us is not easy." stated Judas. "To become a part of our family you have to do something impossible. So we are sending you on a little initiation errand." Tsujido walked over to the desk and sat on the edge of it right next to Peanut Butter.

"You are going to march over to Hot Daddy's place and you're going to shut him down." Tsujido said.

"Doesn't sound like a problem. A little bit a gas and a match and that asshole is closed for shop." Battle said. Judas shook his head.

"That's not it at all…" Judas said. "We want you to shut down the place, but leave it standing so Peanut Butter here can use it. What we want is for you to march in there, take all of Hot Daddy's money, his girls, drugs, Peanut Butter's ring off his fat finger, and just to really piss him off…we want you to take his hat. Bring us back all of these and you're in."

"You guys want all that!" Stripe said letting his jaw drop. Darkwings nodded.

"We told you guys." Darkwings said. "We need to send a message that our family is impossibly strong, so our applicants have to do something impossible to join. You are either interested or not."

"I'm…I'm in" Stripe said. Battle whispered to him,

"Dude are you serious? Why bother with all that work?"

"Shut up dude…I need money quick." Stripe told him thinking of his sick mother and hungry siblings at home. "I'm interested sirs." Stripe told them.

"And what about you two?" Judas asked Battle and Cross. Cross smiled and nodded only saying,

"Fun." Battle looked at Stripe and Cross and said,

"If these guys are going, I guess I'm going too."

Outside Hot Daddy's Strip Club

"You sure we're gonna get in?" Stripe asked Battle.

"Yeah I'm sure dude. We got cash." Battle replied.

"No dude! I'm talking about our I.D.s! I'm seventeen. I don't think they're gonna let me in!" said Stripe. Their silent companion Cross chuckled loudly and said,

"They will. You have cash, that's all they care about." They approached the front entrance of the club. The large bouncer stopped them.

"You dudes got cash?" he asked. The three all took out their money and showed it to him. "Alright then, go on in. Remember: look, don't touch." The bouncer waved them through.

"Told ya." gloated Battle. The three entered the club and were bombarded by the loud music. All around they saw beautiful exotic women dancing on stages and around tables. "Damn…" said Battle looking around the club. Stripe grabbed him by the arm.

"We gotta find Hot Daddy man. Don't forget why we are here." Stripe reminded him.

"You're looking for Hot Daddy?" came a voice beside them. A young redheaded short haired woman walked up to Stripe wearing yellow heals and matching yellow bikini top and thong. "Do you need to speak to him?" she asked Stripe.

Stripe stood frozen, his jaw numb and his pants growing very tight. Cross leaned in and whispered behind his ear,

"Say something, do you want her to think your retarded?" Stripe stumbled for words as he stared at the woman before him. He noticed the red broach between the deep valley of her breasts shaped like a cherry. The cherry that held her bikini top together that encased her soft mounds…

"What's that?" he asked shrilly, pointing to the red jewelry.

"Oh this?" said the girl. "This is umm… It's basically a 'for sale' sign. Hot Daddy is uh…trying to sell my cherry."

"Your cherry?" squeaked Stripe.

"Yes. I'm a virgin and I'm not making as much money as the other girls if I'm not sleeping with the customers. I've been dancing for them but Hot Daddy says it's not enough…He gave me this badge and told me to go sell it. If I don't he promised he would do it himself. Ugghhh" she shuddered "Just thinking of that land mass on top of me makes me want to bite my tongue off."

"I'm sorry…" said Stripe. "I can't imagine that. I don't want my first time to be like that at all either…not that it would be my first time" he ended quickly. Battle walked in and wrapped an arm around Stripe, taking Stripe's hand stuffing a wad of bills into it.

"You know bud, we don't have to talk to Hot Daddy right this second, we can wait an hour or however long you can keep it up. Why not go take this girl and both of you go lose your virgin statuses?" Stripe started shivering out of nervousness and started mumbling,

"Um, ugh, ohh, uhh". Battle looked to the girl and asked,

"Say honey, how do you feel about my friend here being your cherry popper? Sound good?" The girl looked at Stripe a little startled and said,

"Ok then, follow me." She took Stripe by the hand and led him to the back of the club where the rooms were.

"Way to go dude! You know what they say, "Red on the head, wild in bed!"" shouted Battle as Stripe walked away.

The girl opened the door to one of the reserved rooms and locked it behind the both of them. The two of them awkwardly sat down in the red satin room and looked at each other.

DDDDD Lemon Ahead DDDDDDD

Their eyes connected with one another's and they both scooted closer together. Stripe reached out and took the girl's hand in his, he pulled her slightly and they came together and kissed. Stripe laid down on his back pulling her on top of him. She probed his lips with her tongue. He opened his lips and their tongues rolled around in each other's hot mouths.

The impatient girl ran her hands down Stripe's chest and pulled the bottom of his t-shirt up. Stripe understood the hint and removed his shirt, his pants soon followed. He was reaching down to pull off his underwear when the girl stopped him.

"Just a minute" she said smiling. She rose off his body and stood before the round bed. She ran her hands down her body and began to dance for him.

She subtly swayed her hips left and right as her hands explored her own body. One hand ran up her stomach as the other slithered its way from her breasts to her thong. She rested her knees on Stripe's as she leaned forward slightly brushing her breasts against his face. It startled her slightly when he took them in his hands and kissed them, getting every inch of the valley between them as he crossed from one to the other. She shuddered slightly and ran her hand from her thong to his leg, running it up to his boxer shorts.

Her fingers crept onto his boxers and wrapped them around his penis through the fabric of his shorts. She lowered her mouth down and captured the semi hard prick in her mouth and suckled on it like a Popsicle. Stripe moaned slightly and ran his hand through the girl's short red hair. She smiled with his clothed penis still in her mouth and rose up.

Stripe took this opportunity and ran his hands up the silky smooth skin of the girl's legs to the edges of her thong. He hooked his thumbs in the edges of her thong and looked up for approval. The girl smiled widely and kissed him, urging him on. He pulled down on the thong and pulled it all the way down to the girl's feet, letting it pool down at her ankles, revealing the small patch of red curls between her thighs.

He broke their kiss and let his mouth wander once more between her breasts licking and lapping his way down to the broach that held her top on. He wrapped his tongue around the red broach and quickly ripped it away letting loose her breasts, causing them to bounce slightly.

She raised her knees and placed them on both sides of his hips, straddling his waist as his penis stood at full attention beneath his boxers. Stripe grew impatient and grabbed both sides of his boxers and ripped them off, leaving the two completely naked. The girl raised herself slightly onto her knees and dropped herself suddenly onto his penis, yelping slightly as he pierced through her hymen.

"Please…please give me a minute." she pleaded shifting her hips trying to get adjust herself into a comfortable position.

"Oohhh, ok, but I don't know how long I can hold this… you're so fucking hot..." he panted. She smiled at the complement and finally found the perfect spot.

"Hoooo." she exhaled. "You can try to move now." she told him wrapping her arms around his neck putting them nose to nose.

"Thanks babe…" he breathed putting his hands on her waist and raising his hips up and down. She sighed deeply as he kept up his steady rhythm; he kissed the base of her throat as she continued to let out those sexy sighs.

Stripe began to grow impatient with the steady love making and picked up the pace. Pushing harder and harder into her. The girl had had her share of the slow love too and began bouncing vigorously on his penis, trying to drive it deeper and deeper into her damp insides.

"I don't know how much more I can take…" Stripe whispered hotly into the girl's ear, ramming harder and faster into her. The girl nuzzled into Stripe's neck and said,

"I don't have very far to go either" she panted. "Just a little more." she begged him. Through their entire lovemaking Stripe realized a very important fact.

"Wait…" he said. "I don't have a condom on…" he said slowing down. The girl dug her nails into his back and bit down onto his neck.

"Its fine…please keep going. Don't stop please!" she asked through clenched teeth and she continued bouncing up and down his shaft. Stripe was far too gone to listen to his common sense. He grabbed his red headed lover by her supple ass cheeks and gripped tight as he started hammering into her again.

"A little more…a little more…. Ahhhh little bit mooooore and…YES!" she screamed meeting her release. Stripe was about to meet his as well when the girl suddenly hopped off his lap and got on her knees between his legs. The second after she put his penis in her mouth he let out a deep groan, letting loose his hot white liquid onto her tongue.

The girl took in every drop of his sperm and promptly swallowed it. As Stripe sat back awestruck she continued to clean off his penis running her small tongue up and down his shaft.

"Oh my god…" he sighed watching the beautiful girl's head bob up and down on his shaft cleaning him. The girl smiled, then got up and hugged him.

DDDDDDDD Lemon Over DDDDDDD

"That was waaaayyyy better than I expected for my first time…" the girl sighed.

"How long did I last?" Stripe asked curiously. The girl looked at the clock on the wall.

"Twenty minutes" she said. Stripe groaned and covered his face with his hand.

"Only twenty minutes…" he sighed. The girl pushed him back onto the bed and jumped onto him.

"Only twenty minutes?" she said to him. "It was great. Don't you worry…most of my coworkers tell me their clients barely last seven minutes. You have nothing to be ashamed of."

"So you're not regretting it was me who did the 'cherry popping'?" he asked.

"Not at all honey" she said to him, kissing his cheek. A loud bang came from behind them as an enormous dark skinned man busted through the door.

"Bitch, what do you think you're doing!?" Hot Daddy shouted. The girl tried to cover herself.

"I'm working sir…" she squeaked. "You told me to sell my cherry and this customer just bought it." Hot Daddy picked up the cash from off the floor and counted it quick.

"Chump change!" he screamed. "I had a buyer all set up for your ass! You just cost me more than what your worth!" Hot Daddy pulled a gun out of his vest pocket and shot the girl through the chest. The girl screamed as the bullet passed through her chest. Stripe turned to her and placed a hand on the wound trying to close it up.

"And you!" Hot Daddy said to Stripe. "I want to talk to you! Leave that bitch and come in my office, now!" he ordered leaving the room.

Stride watched in horror as more blood poured out of the girl's wound. The girl was gasping for breath as she reached out and brushed Stripe's cheek.

"Please no." gasped Stripe. The girl grasped the sheets around her and picked up the red 'cherry' broach. She grabbed Stripe's hand and placed it in his hand closing it tight around it.

"You were…great…my first and...last customer." the girl said smiling. She pulled herself up and hugged Stripe on last time before dying. Stripe stood motionless for a brief instant, but was brought back to reality by a loud shout.

"What the hell do you think you two are doing in my safe?!" he heard Hot Daddy shout. He heard Battle roaring as he punched his way through some of Hot Daddy's security and he saw the light glow of Cross's energy bouncing off the walls through the open door.

Stripe felt a hard hot rock hit the bottom of his heart. He put on his pants and his t-shirt and left his dead lover in the room. On his way out he picked up a desk lamp from the red room and charged at Hot Daddy as he brandished his gun. Stripe swatted the gun out of his hand and caught it in mid-air. He grabbed Hot Daddy from behind and held the gun to his head.

Everyone stopped what they were doing. Security stopped trying to restrain Battle and Cross and the dancers stopped jiggling erotically for their clients. All eyes were on the furious skinny young man holding a gun to Hot Daddy's head.

"Listen…the fuck…up!" shouted Stripe. "Everything you see here belongs to The Crow Family! Everyone here who is not a client is now an employee of The Crow Family. Unless you want the taste smacked out of your mouth, you're gonna do exactly as I say!"

Stripe kicked Hot Daddy in the back of his knees sending him down to the floor.

"Give me that god damned ring!" Stripe order pointing at Peanut Butter's ring on Hot Daddy's finger. Hot Daddy promptly obeyed and gave Stripe the ring. Stripe stuffed the ring into his pocket. "Now I want all the drugs and cash you got up in this bitch! Right friggin now!" The security guards ran to Hot Daddy's office and took every bit of cash and drugs to Battle and Cross.

Stripe bent down and took Hot Daddy's purple hat and plopped it onto his own head. He knelt down beside Hot Daddy and pointed the gun straight at his face.

"Who here is your top earning girl?" Stripe asked him. Hot Daddy sputtered for words but nothing came out. Stripe reached back and pistol whipped Hot Daddy hard across the face. "Who is it!" he demanded. "I will kick…some ass...if she is not brought here now."

"Bring…bring Kayo!" demanded Hot Daddy throwing a key to one of the security guards. The guard caught the key and ran to a door adjacent to the one Stripe had been in previously. He unlocked the door and through it was a tall woman with extremely long cyan blue hair tied up in a ponytail, wearing hoop earrings and a bathrobe. Animal ears were on the top of her head and a fluffy cyan furred tail sprouted from beneath her robe.

She emerged through the door and walked calmly up to Stripe. The bells from the collar around her neck jingled slightly as she walked.

"Are you taking me to my new master?" Kayo asked in her silvery voice.

"I'm taking you to the Crow Masters." Stripe said. "But you…" Stripe said cocking his gun and pointing it at Hot Daddy. "You aren't in the plan. Maybe after you're dead a nice Eskimo will come along and skin your fat ass and make a house out of you!" he taunted shooting Hot Daddy in the face. Stripe looked around at all the shocked faces.

"Anyone have a fucking problem with this?!" he screamed. "No? Then get out!" he exclaimed firing into the ceiling. Everyone ran out screaming, leaving only Battle, Cross, Stripe, and Kayo alive in the building.

"Dude, that was off the chain! Damn motherfucker!" shouted Battle.

"Let's go" Cross said picking up the money and drugs and throwing them in a bag on his back.

"I'll be just a minute." Stripe said as he walked back the red satin room. He knelt down next to his dead naked lover and wrapped a bed sheet around her bare frame. He picked her up and carried her bridal style back to The Crow Family tower.

DDDDDD At the Crow Family Tower DDDDD

"We got it here sirs." said Battle taking the bag of drugs and cash off Cross's back and placing it on the desk. Judas ran his hands over the loot and picked up the Peanut Butter's ring.

"This I believe belongs to you" Judas said handing the ring over to Peanut Butter.

"Haha! Hell yeah! I'm pimpin, pimpin baby! Yes!" exclaimed the joyous pimp kissing his ring.

"Here is the hat you wanted." Cross said giving Hot Daddy's hat to Tsujido.

"Well done." Tsujido said.

"Yeah no kiddin'!" said E.O. "But you guys are lucky, my initiation was to take the dog tags off of twenty Dog Boyz without killing any of 'em. And this was all by myself!"

"Where is your other friend?" asked Judas. Battle's smile vanished and he told him,

"He's with Darkwings cremating his ex-girlfriend."

DDDDD In the Tower's Basement DDDDD

Stripe had placed the girl's body into the large cremator and stood and watched as Darkwings turned it on. Kayo stood by Stripe's side comforting him.

"I have never experienced this kind of pain in my life…" Stripe said.

"Life is pain" Darkwings stated. "Anybody who tells you different is trying to sell you something. When you live in this city, all you feel is pain one way or another. You will figure this out as you continue with us."

Stripe nodded and clutched the red 'cherry' broach in his hand, the only memento of his nameless girlfriend. Within a half hour, the cremation was done. Darkwings collected the ashes and placed them in an urn for Stripe.

DDDDD Back in the Meeting Room DDDDD

"This has been a trying night for all of you. For some, more trying than the others" Darkwings said referring to Stripe. "You will be compensated" said Darkwings nonchalantly to Stripe. "I know all about your family, and their money troubles. We're going to move them into an apartment close to this tower and take care of them as long as you're working for us."

"The rest of you…" Darkwings said to Battle and Cross. "Will live in the barracks of this tower with E.O..For the time being he will be your captain. When we recruit and train more, you may have a chance to become a captain of your own squad. That will be all for tonight. Dismissed." Battle and Cross said their goodbyes to Stripe as he headed out for his home, with the ashes of his girl in his hand, her red broach in the other.

The Crow Masters Judas, Tsujido, and Darkwings stood around the calm woman sitting down before them named Kayo.

"You work for us now Kayo." said Judas. "But we want to give you the chance to leave."

"Being the top earner for that disgusting shit heap Hot Daddy we imagine you have seen your share of horrors." explained Tsujido.

"You are welcome to stay, but if you choose to leave you will get no argument from us." said Darkwings. "What do you want to do?" he asked Kayo.

The tall dog eared woman with the long cyan hair stood up from her chair and dropped down to her knees. She bowed deeply with her head touching the floor and her hands spread out flat. The bells from her collar jingled again slightly as she spoke.

"Please allow me to stay. I only wish to serve you…my new masters."
