A/N:: Just so you know, this is a few weeks later, and Leen has gotten a lot more firmiliar with Rapp-kun, so don't be surprised at what you read in this one. ^^ enjoy
"Arrested For Nothing"
Leen held a small bag of food from the store, and headed across the slums of the city, looking for a certain boy's house. A smile was on her face, and she walked along the streets, no longer scared that a blonde would try and hurt her anymore. She came to the house, and reached up, finding the key to the house. She quickly unlocked the door, and walked in, only to be tackled by someone.
"Burgler!!! Get out of our house!!" The boy screamed.
"Nicky, it's me!!" Leen cried, nearly dropping her bag of food.
"Leen? I thought you'd never show! Where's my chocolate?"
Leen dug through her bag of food, and found a bar of strawberry chocolate, and handed it to the little 10 year old. He grabbed it happily, and munched into it. She giggled, and began to head for the kitchen. She sighed, and began to put the groceries into the cabinet, when a pair of arms were now around her waist, almost dropping the can in her hands. She almost gasped in surprise when a firmiliar sweet voice filled her ears.
"I'm glad you showed up, I missed you." The boy whispered.
"...I missed you too, Rapp, how have you and Nicky been?" Leen put the can down, turning to face the boy.
"Fine, I guess. They finally backed off, now that we have enough money for this house and our bills. How about you? That Mullen leaving you alone?"
"Yes, he has. I have a surprise for you."
"What?" Rapp felt a smile appear on his lips.
"I invited my sister and her fiancee over, I wanted her to meet you." Leen smiled.
"Your sister...?"
"Her name is Feena. She's very nice, and I thought it was only right for her to see how nice and sweet you are." Leen smiled, laying a kiss on the slightly older boy.
"Leen, your making me blush!" Rapp laughed, rubbing his cheeks.
Leen smiled, and continued to put the food away, as Rapp headed into the living room, to finally clean the mess he left there. Nicky sat on the couch, eating his stawberry chocolate, staring outside.
"Rapp? Did you get in trouble again with the cops?"
"No, why?"
"Because cops are outside, and they have a lot of people out there."
Rapp raised his eyebrow, and looked outside, seeing police looking in his direction. Then, he saw Mullen, standing there with his arms crossed. He pointed in his direction, and lipped something to the cops, and guns were pointed toward the window he was looking out of. He gasped, and shut the curtain.
"Nicky, move now!!!"
He tackled his brother to the ground, as three shots went through their window. He sat back up, and checked to see his little brother unconsiouss from the shots. He wasn't hit, it made him pass out from the sudden shock. Leen rushed into the living room, and looked to see the police outside, and glass from the window covering the ground. She walked out of the kitchen, and looked out the window.
"Rapp Istegen, we know your in there, come out now!" The officer with the gigantic microphone in his hand called into the house.
"Rapp, what did you do?" Leen ran over to the out cold Nicky.
"I didn't do anything!! Well...nothing that would need so many officers at my house, shooting at me."
"Rapp, just go out there, and see what they want, okay?" Leen sighed, lifting the younger boy onto the couch.
"Keh...fine."
Rapp grabbed his black trench coat, because it was cold outside, and opened his door, walking out of the doorway to face the police. A couple began to head for him, but the leader put his hand up, stopping them.
"What do you guys want? I haven't done anything that would get me shot at, and almost put my little brother in the hospital." Rapp stuffed his hands into his pocket.
"Rapp Istegen, we have reason to believe that you were the one responsible for the near death of Leen Elencia."
"What?! That wasn't me!!" Rapp yelped.
"Don't let his lies fool you, officer! I have the knife that he tried to kill her with!" Mullen held a small bag with the blood stained knife in it.
Rapp couldn't believe this. Mullen was framing him for abusing Leen. He began to back away, hoping Leen wasn't watching this.
"Arrest him!!"
Leen came to the door to see three police trying to bring Rapp's arms behind his back, but Rapp seemed to be winning. Until, one showed up with a tranquilzer in his hand, and put the needle into the boy's neck, knocking him into darkness. She screamed, as the police cuffed the boy, and began to drag him toward the police car.
"Stop this!!" She screamed.
They turned in surprise as the young woman ran over to them, pushing them away from the boy. She brushed the sweat from his forehead, tears falling down her cheeks.
"Rapp, don't pass out yet, stay awake. Wake up."
Rapp's hazy amber eyes opened to see Leen staring down at him, tears in her eyes. He wanted to carass her cheek, but he was cuffed, he couldn't move. He closed his eyes and simply whispered.
"I need the help now...huh?"
Before Leen could answer, and few police dragged her away from him, as they brought him into the cop car. She screamed, and struggled from their grip, calling the boy's name hundreds of times, and by the time they let her go, the car already drove away with him in it. She sobbed, and fell to her knees.
"Idiots...the lot of you....idiots..." She cried, making them stare at her.
Suddenly, a fearful and strong hand was placed on her shoulder. Her head lifted in fear, and turned to see Mullen looking down at her, a smirk on his lips. A look of pure shock was on her face.
"No 'thank you', Leen? I did just save you from that womanizer." Mullen smiled, sarcastic.
A growl filled her throat, as she aimed her fist at Mullen, making direct contact. He rubbed his cheek where she had just punched him. She glared into his gray eyes with sea blue.
"How dare you do this to me, Mullen!! It's your fault that our relationship ended, not Rapp's. You framed him for your own crime, and I will see you dead if he goes to jail for something he didn't do." She glared angrily into Mullen's eyes.
"Oh, you think so? Well, Leen, I'm doing this so both of us wins," He brought Leen near him, making her eyes widen, "That boy will never have you, and I promise I will leave you alone if you do one little favor for me."
"Wh-What do you want?" She spoke, her voice shaky.
"I quarentee that I will never bother you or your family again, if you let the police take the boy to jail, and take the punishment for the drunk rage. Consider it, Leen. He might suffer, but you'll be free from me."
He released Leen from his grip, and left, asking the police when the boy's trial would take place. She could feel them, the hot tears were spilling from her eyes. She fell to her knees, wishing that Rapp was still there to comfort her. She got an idea. She walked up to one of the police, and asked,
"Is there a chance you'll let me see Rapp before the trial begins?"
"You wanna actually see him? After what he--"
"Just tell me!!"
"O-Okay, you may visit him tomorrow around noon at the Parm City Jail, he'll be there, don't worry."
Leen nodded, and headed back into Rapp's house, going back to take care of Nicky and to let him know what had happened. Mullen watched in amusement, as she smalled the door behind her.
~~~3 hours later:: Parm City Jail~~~
Rapp sat on one of the beds, angrily cursing that he was taken so easily. Now, Mullen could be doing who knows what to Leen. He stood up angrily, and punched the wall in front of him, making a huge dent where his fist landed. He kept doing it, until he could feel a hot copper liquid coming out of his knuckles. He finally settled down after taking his anger out on the wall, and nursed his self created wound. The door to the cells opened suddenly, as a sickly firmiliar blonde came into the room facing the younger boy. Rapp could feel the growl coming out of his throat as he was faced with the man who really tried to kill Leen.
"I hope you don't expect to get out of there soon, you'll have no one to defend you by tomorrow, and you know it, boy."
"I suggest you turn around and walk right out that door if you think your lies are going to keep me in here. You were the one that sent Leen to me, covered in her own blood, and when you know that she's finally happy, you shatter the dreams of finally having you out of her life to pieces. It's your own damn fault that Leen left you, you sick basterd, not mine. Why not try arresting yourself next time, then you'll accomplish something." Rapp hissed.
Mullen reached his arm out, and grabbed the younger boy by the collar, and slammed his head into the bars, blood slowly seeping from the new wound. Rapp laid his hand over his forehead, as Mullen pierced his amber eyes with his storming gray.
"Leen is mine, and she will be forever. I won't let anyone have her, and with a little convincing, she'll come back into my arms once more. Let that remind you not to cross me, you little ass."
Mullen left the cells after that, leaving Rapp with two blood covered wounds. He could feel them. For the first time since his mother died, he could feel hot tears. He fell to his knees, letting his face fall into his hands. The tears were mixing with his blood, dripping to the ground.
'Leen...I'm so sorry...'
~~~Next Morning, Visitor's room~~~
"You've got an hour, so make it last, girl."
Leen stepped into the room, to come face to face with the boy she had been staying with for the last few weeks. He didn't look up, he was clutching one of his gloves in his hands, and he looked heartbroken. Leen didn't like seeing him this, considering, she never saw him like that before. She bent down next to him, and lifted his eyes to met with hers. He looked up, only for Leen to see dry blood covering his forehead.
"Oh my god!! Rapp, what happened to you?"
"Mullen visited me last night..." Rapp replied, darkly.
"Rapp...I'm sorry..."
"Leen... these cops are merciless, they don't go easy on me since this isn't the first time I've been arrested. You, out of all people, know I never did any of that stuff to you, you were there..."
"....Rapp...Mullen confronted me last night..."
"...!!!! What did that ass say to you?
"He said that if I lie, and say it was you...He'd leave me alone..."
"What in the...that sick minded.... Leen, you should know that he's lying to you. He wants me out of the way, jusy because I keep him from hurting you... I don't want him to hurt you anymore than he has. Please, don't do anything he tells you to do...I don't want to go to jail...knowing that I won't be by your side anymore..." Rapp felt his arms go around the teal haired girl, out of his control.
"Rapp...." Leen clutched his trench coat, the tears falling onto her fists.
The cop walked into the room to tell the teal haired girl that her time was up, but when he saw the two in the middle of a hug, he silently left. Leen looked into the other boy's amber eyes, and kissed him lightly on the forehead.
"Rapp...I believe you when you say all of that...I don't care...if Mullen tries to do anything, I just don't want you to leave me either..." She sobbed into his chest. "But...Nicky is waiting for me right now...I'll be back, and I'll testify for you tomorrow...I promise..."
Rapp let her go, but gave her one last passionate kiss, before she got up, and headed out of the room, going to the exit where Nicky was sitting. He stood up to face the tea haired girl.
"How is he?"
"He'll be fine. Me and you are going to testify for your big brother tomorrow. You ready for that?" She ruffled his hair.
"Yep!"
She took the little boy's hand, and headed over to her apartment to get some lunch, because it was going to be a long day tomorrow.
