Visual Sensations
By: Kia Wolf
Kia: sigh Well…after countless sleepovers in only 2 days, I woke up this morning and remembered I had a story to write. And after reading over my last chapter, I couldn't help thinking, Why the HECK did I do that to poor D? Oh well. It'll work out eventually.
Leon: Get…off…me.
D: still passed out
Devin: But, Leon!
Leon: GET THE FRICK OFF ME!
Siegl: laughing his butt off I knew it would come to this eventually!
T-chan: too wasted to say anything
Tiy: sighs and decides to actually go to work today
Kia: TIY! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE!
Tiy: Just ignore them and write. You'll be fine.
Kia: sobs as Tiy leaves
Tiy: shuts door
Kia: stops crying and everyone stops and is quiet
Everyone: cheers Hooray! We got her to go to work!
Kia: Now that that's fixed, on with the story!
Chapter 12
D stumbled away from the door, fighting away tears. Why was he crying? He shouldn't be crying. But still. It hurt terribly to see Leon like that. With DEVIN, of all people.
He was leaving. He was going to go home. There, he could rest and cry in privacy. There he had family that loved him…but he didn't want his children. He wanted his detective.
"Count?" Jill noticed something was wrong when D lifted his eyes to hers. They were filled with confusion.
"I'm very sorry, Miss Jill. I can not talk right now." D smiled weakly and talked politely before starting away again.
Jill frowned and headed for the questioning room. She was going to ask Leon what he had done to D this time. When she opened the door, she saw Leon standing across from Devin, a frown on his face. Devin was glaring back at him.
"Leon."
"What?" Leon snapped.
"What's with you?" She sipped at her coffee and glanced hatefully at Devin.
"He won't talk." Leon sighed. "And I can't hit him…What do you want?" He trudged over to Jill, ignoring Devin completely.
"What did you do to the Count?" Devin glanced up when he heard Jill's question. Leon cocked an eyebrow at her.
"What do you mean? The only thing I can think I did was last night…" He snickered.
"Well, he just left, and-"
"Just left?" Leon frowned. "He was here?"
"Yes, you didn't see him?" Jill shook her head.
"No. What was wrong?" Leon asked, the concern for D heavy in his voice.
Jill simply shrugged. "I don't know. But he looked upset."
Leon sighed heavily. "Darn, and I can't leave work today. Chief's already chewed me out for leaving to see D."
"Well, maybe it was nothing. I sure hope he's ok, though." Jill sipped her coffee again. She slowly walked over to the table and set down her cup. "As for him…" She punched Devin pretty much the same way Leon had at first. "Now listen up, you pile of slime! You WILL answer questions! Cuz even if HE can't hit you, I CAN! And WILL!"

D shut the door wearily. He sat on the couch, and began to think to himself.
Leon loves me very much. I know he does. He has said so many times. Many, many times. And I love him. And he knows that. And Leon would never hurt me. Especially now that we have children. So what am I worried for? But it looked like…no, he wouldn't. He never would. Besides, this is DEVIN, I'm talking about. Leon HATES Devin. All he ever says about him is that he wants to kill him…He wouldn't. And I don't think he would. So there. Leon loves me. And that's all I need to know.
D smiled to himself and stood to go and tend to Jar, who was screaming from somewhere down the hall. He certainly was happier now. After all, he knew he had nothing to worry about.
Jar was sitting in the middle of the hall, crying. Julie was hovering over him, her ever-present smile gone, and worry filled her green eyes. She was saying soothing words to him, and it was beginning to have the desired effect. Jar's screams had died down, though tears still streamed from his eyes.
"What has happened?" D asked, carefully lifting Jar into his arms. Jar moved his hand and revealed a 4 inch cut on his left leg, the result of breaking yet another expensive vase. D sighed and headed for the kitchen. Julie scampered after him.
Before they were at the kitchen, Matt and Yui's cries could be heard coming from their playpen. D let out an experated sigh and hurridly set Jar down on a chair in the kitchen. He was torn for a moment between answering his babies' cries, or helping his son. He frowned and took out some bandages and medicine. The babies could wait.
Jar wiped away his tears, and shrugged off Julie, who was giving him random hugs to try and cheer him up. While D was applying the medicine, he realized that the cries from the other room had stopped. He ignored that fact, thinking it was one of the animals that had heard the crying.
After D finished bandaging Jar's leg, he hugged him and mussed his hair before smiling and going into the front room. T-chan was holding both babies and rocking them in his arms. "You see? There's no point in crying." He was muttering. D smiled at this and decided to let T-chan care for them a little longer.
He retreated to his bedroom, after glancing back in at Jar and Julie. Julie was smiling sweetly at Jar, making Jar blush slightly. They stared at each other a moment, and Julie whispered, "Does it hurt?"
Jar nodded. "Of course it does…" Julie knelt and place a gentle kiss on the bandage.
"There! Now it'll get better." She laughed, standing again. Jar's blush deepened. D smiled and slowly turned away. But Jar standing caught his eye. So he stopped to watch.
Julie hugged Jar, and Jar's eyes filled with happiness, and he smiled softly as he hugged back. D giggled softly to himself, and inched away, so he wouldn't interrupt the moment.
He padded softly down the hallway. He closed the door to his bedroom, and let out a sigh as he sank onto the bed. He laid back and closed his eyes, drifting into sweet slumber.
Leon
"WHAT THE HECK? DOESN'T HE EVER JUST GIVE UP?" Leon pulled his gun from it's holster, and prepared it in case he had to shoot.
Devin had escaped again. The guy was a genius to be able to get past a whole building full of cops without being noticed. Not to mention he was hurt badly. Someone had discovered he was missing about 30 minutes ago. Everything was instantly in an uproar, with Leon at the head of it all. He, along with many others, were racing around the building, searching for him. Leon then cut loose from his group and raced outside, looking around wildly for any suspicious looking people.
He caught sight of a guy in a trench coat turning into an alley, so he followed him. After he had literally jumped the guy and threatened him, he stood and apologized. This man wasn't Devin, but it was the mayor's son. He had been coming here to visit with a girl he had met, but his father hadn't wanted him to. So the boy had been reduced to hiding when he went visiting.
"I'm very, very sorry, sir. We're on the lookout for someone, and, well…you just looked suspicious." Leon apologized.
"It's ok. Just don't tell my father where I've been, and I'll be fine." The boy smiled.
"Sure." Leon agreed, and then turned to leave the alley. He sees yet another suspicious looking figure rushing down the road, and it disappears behind a building. Leon races after it, gun ready.

D had woken up about 30 minutes ago, and was now feeding Matt while watching Yui lay on the ground and struggled to crawl. He smiled and took the empty bottle from Matt. He was still watching Yui as he burped Matt.
"Daddy, my leg hurts." Jar whined as he limped into the front room. Julie was right behind him, following him as usual. They plopped down on the couch, and Julie smiled brightly at Jar, causing him to blush again.
"Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie. But there's nothing more I can do." D said sweetly, setting Matt down next to Yui. He glanced at the clock and pursed his lips. Leon was late.
Leon
He was sure it was Devin this time. Besides, there were at least three other cops after him too. Boy, for an injured man, he could move fast. It would be harder than expected to catch up with him. Leon did a quick map check in his head and dashed down another road. He should meet up with Devin at this intersection.
He was right. Devin came barreling at him, and didn't even realize it was Leon. When he finally realized who it was, he tried to stop, but to no avail.
Leon pulled the trigger on his gun, and watched as Devin fell back against the wall from the force. Leon had perfect aim. He had hit him square in the heart. Devin's shocked, frightened, and somewhat relieved expression made Leon stop. He had never liked this man, yet now, seeing him like this, dying before him, it made him stop for just a moment. It made him stop and thank the Lord he finally had nothing to worry about. D was finally, and truly, safe.
"Leon! You got him!" Jill came running towards him. She glanced at Leon's face, and her smile faded. "What's wrong?" She glanced at Devin, who was weezing and gasping for breath now. He was loosing lots of blood, that could be seen, even though Devin held a hand tightly over his wound. The blood was seeping out and pouring over his hand, leaving red streaks across his flesh. Devin sank to the ground and just sat there, waiting to be taken in again.
Another cop called for an ambulance, and Jill advised Leon to go home and rest. She knew he always got that stoic expression when he had to shoot someone. He hated seeing someone bleeding, even if it was his biggest enemy.
"Yeah. It's past time for me to leave anyway…" Leon agreed.

Leon trudged in, covered in sweat and grim. He immediately felt the tension in the air, and glanced at D. "What?" He asked.
D shook his head and played with Yui some more. "Nothing."
Leon sighed. "Look, D, I know I was late, but I couldn't help it."
D stood up and set Yui in her playpen. He could tell Leon wasn't feeling well, and it just wasn't fair to be angry at him when he felt like that. "Ok, sweetheart." He wrapped his arms around Leon's neck loosely. "Are you going to be ok?"
Leon placed his hands on D's waist gently, and smiled weakly. "I dunno, D." He leaned against D and hugged him tight. "But I think I'll manage."
Kia: End!
Leon: NOOOOO! I HAVE TO TELL HIM ABOUT DEVIN! I HAVE TO…TO…lets out a frustrated sigh
Siegl: laughs
Kia: I'm sorry, but that's six pages.
Leon: pouts
D: Aww! You're so adorable when you pout!
Leon: smiles
Kia: I'll try to update sooner! It's kinda hard to, though, considering I end up getting grounded for a day every other day…why? I dunno…anyways. REVIEW! AND I'LL TRY TO UPDATE FOR YOU!
