Proper Chapter 20: Saving Hakuba and Heiji

A/N: We're coming into the homestretch ladies and gentlefolk who are indeed reading this fic and the still two reviewers (Black Phantom 1412 and Pandakitty LOVE YA BUNCHES!) There is a little bit of dramatic irony in this chapter….watch out for it! This isn't quite the ending there's still an epilogue…Let's just say Hakuba's going to get what he wanted…in more ways than one, Oh and the next arc (after my weird idea that came to me) I'm bringing in the detective boys…Though they are all split up for reasons I'm not at liberty to give right now.

Hakuba's Mind Voice POV:

This is it, I'm going to die, Yuusaku Kudo's going to kill me again and I'm going to properly go to the place in the sky where people don't properly come back from. He stole my eye already, and I told him that since he took that he should take my life as well. I hope someone realizes I'm gone. The plan went too fast, it wasn't supposed to happen yet, I wasn't supposed to lose body parts, and assuming even though I'm a vampire, eyes don't grow back.

It's getting light outside now, my eye that's still there getting droopy, I don't know if it's because it's starting to get light out, or because he's back to doing horrible things. I've been through so much the past three days, I'm been raped, I've been stabbed, burned, my eye had been removed…I've come down to the conclusion there is going to be death, and it's not going to be anyone's but mine. Then I heard it…the door leading down the stairs, it was being opened, and there was more than one pair of footsteps. I may not die afterall.

Kaito's POV:

I got to the house in record time, there was something about this that was all wrong, I stopped crying like a little girl halfway there, Shinichi still giving me the glare of death because I didn't tell him about Heiji. Though it could have been a glare of awe too, this outfit hasn't been out of dad's hidey hole since before he was killed. Nakamori wasn't liking that I brought it out either. He took me in as a sonlike person because my dad was his lifemate and bringing this out brought back horrible memories for him.

I ran down the stairs, Shinichi not far behind, the council stayed upstairs for the most part, only the head honcho types came down. And what I saw was something I never wanted to see again. Saguru hanging naked from the ceiling (I'm not seeing handcuffs in either of our immediate futures) one of his eyes were gone, he was beaten, bruised, though that should technically be impossible, and he looked on the verge of death.

Shinichi standing next to me at the time stared in even more disgust. He was watching his father torture someone that he's been taking care of for almost 40 years and it was looking as if he was going to kill him. "Dad what are you doing?"

It was if Yuusaku was pulled out of a trance, he turned around, he saw us and literally wanted to bolt as fast as he could, as if I'd let him. "Let me through!" I yelled.

"I'm sorry I can't do that, I was told to kill this boy and that's what I'm going to do." He said.

"Kaito don't do anything stupid!" Nakamori said from behind Shinichi.

"Let me THROUGH! If you're going to kill him you are going to have to go through me first!"

He stopped for a second and flinched. I got past him and I saw him up close for the first time. He's been stabbed in various places, and his eye, oh my god his eye. I went around to where his suit was neatly folded. I pulled the mic-bug out of his pocket and gave it to Nakamori, "All the evidence you need for both crimes against Saguru is there, arrest the bastard and I'll get the key first." I said searching Yuusaku's person for the key for the manacles that held both Heiji and Saguru.

"Saguru, I need you to stay with me okay?" I said to him as I got him down and laid him down.

"You came to save me…I didn't think anyone knew."

"Shh, Saguru, I need you to drink from me okay? You'll get better I promise, the pain won't go away quickly, and your eye won't grow back, but you'll get better."

"KAITO LOOK OUT!" Shinichi yelled as he jumped in front of us as a gun went off.

Shinichi's POV:

I saw him with the gun, I saw who he was pointing at and I had to jump in the way. I felt something hit me in the back as I felt it I began to feel sluggish. "Don't say I never did anything for you Kaito." I said as I fell.

"Shinichi!" Three voices yelled, two being Kaito and Heiji, the other being my father. Kaito who still had the keys threw them to Takagi, "get Heiji out and bring him in here. He's the only person I'll even let near Shinichi right now who could do this procedure."

Takagi took the keys and let Heiji out of the cage next to him. "Heiji I need you to give him some of your blood." Kaito said. "He's gravely injured!"

"Shinichi, you are an idiot." He said as he bit his wrist.

"But I'm your idiot and that's what counts right?" I said in a raspy voice. I was betting my father was absolutely LOVING this dramatic irony, aiming for someone who left him and getting the one that he was supposed to be doing all this for.

Father's gun was taken away and he was taken away in handcuffs to the police station where everything was taken care of, Takagi and Nakamori stuck around to make sure that everything was okay. Me seeing Heiji's eyes roll back into his head as I sucked from him made me think back to the first time when I told him what would happen, Kaito was in much the same position. Who would have thought that there would have been two people almost dead today because of me, one of them being well me.

"Come on Saguru, let's get you upstairs, you're probably sick and tired of it down here." Kaito said hoisting him up. I could tell that Kaito just wanted to clean him up and get him into some clean clothes and figure out a way to hide Saguru's lost eye. "Kaito wait!" Takagi said.

"Let him get upstairs." I said letting Heiji go. "Talk to him about joining when he's not taking care of the person he cares about."

Saguru's POV:

I felt like I was hit by a mack truck or something close to it, Kaito stayed by my side the entire day to make sure that nothing was hurting too badly. Shinichi took a hit too but I think I win on the account of extreme pain. The cool washcloth wiping my skin down from all the grime and ick that was down in that subbasement, it felt good, and looking into those violet eyes as he carefully took care of me.

"What are you going to want to do about that eye? I mean, it's not going to grow back."

"What is there to do? I mean I could get a patch or something. I'll look like a asshat but I'm not going to lie, it'll look better than walking around with a hole in my head."

"I'm just glad I got there in time, he had that stake gun right at your chest, he was going to shoot you, if Shinichi didn't say something."

"I would be dead, my mind voice kept telling me that you were going to find me, but I wasn't sure how, turns out that you're a coplike figure afterall, bugging me secretly." I said with a grin.

"God no…I don't think that I could do something like that."

"Takagi wants you to join the council after your spectacular save you know, with the bug and everything."

"I've told them before I don't want anything to do with the council, I go to them for help but that's as far as I go, only because they still haven't figured out who killed my father yet. Nakamori's working on it hardest, my father and him were lifemates so he's looking for any lead he can. But until they figure something out like who did it, I'm not going near that council."

"Please reconsider? I mean they're working on it. I would understand why you wouldn't, but they are trying, and if you are with them, maybe they could figure it out faster."

Kaito looked at me with a look of distain, or uncertainty, that's the word I'm thinking of. "You may have a point. Ugh! That would mean I'd have to join the police academy and stuff."

"It's not that hard." I whispered. "In fact, it's quite easy." I said with a smile. "You'll join the council for me?"

Kaito sighed softly. "I suppose, maybe I'll get more into what happened to dad with help."

"Thank you Kaito." I said as I cuddled into him.

"And I have my answer." Takagi said in the doorway.

"I'm doing this to find my father, and for him. Don't think I'm doing this for you."

"How's Shinichi." I asked with a yawn.

"His chest hurts but aside from that everything's fine."

"That's good, I'm going to sleep now, I hurt like hell."

Kaito and I watched as Takagi left the room. "So, since I convinced you to join the council, how would you feel if I asked you if we could adopt a daughter?"

Heiji's POV:

It's nice being out of a room, out of the chains that kept me bound. It's nice to be in Shinichi's arms again. Sure I was a dick to Hakuba quite a bit, but turns out he's not a bad guy, he practically sacrificed himself to the cause of getting me out of there. He lost an eye I can't help but think it's more for me than it was for anyone and for that I thank him.

Shinichi's still in pain, but he can't be in as much as Hakuba's. He lost body parts and everything. Shinichi almost lost his life sure, but I saved him, I saved my idiot. That was when Takagi walked into the room.

"Hakuba convinced him to join the council, if not for him than to figure out who killed his father. Then the comical response from asking to adopt a daughter came up as I was leaving. I hope that works out."

"I wouldn't mind having a little me running around." Shinichi said with a grin. "Or at least someone who wants to be a detective like me, I don't think I could take a little me running around."

"We'll see once you feel better okay? I'm not letting you out of my sight until you are at 150 percent you hear me Kudo Shinichi, stupid idiot."

"And again, I'm your idiot and that's what counts."

And that's how two love stories officially began (and in my and Shinichi's sort of restarted) The end of the story that involved torture, confinement, and various sexual escapades, ends in this way…or does it?

Look out for the epilogue coming soon!
