Lemon Warning This Chapter

Sorry no Tachi and Ma this chapter. I promise more of them in the next.

Long Night

Chapter 9

K had completely forgotten about Hiro. He had been forced to almost drag Shindou back to his room and when he opened the door to find Hiro stretched out across the bed on his stomach watching television, he almost shot him. He had to quickly reholster his gun.

"Sorry Hiro, I forgot you were here."

K could see the look of amazement on Hiro's face. He had to practically drag Shindou into the room and the kid balked further when he saw Hiro lying on the bed.

"Uh, K, I'll just go back to my room, I'll be Okay, really." Shu pleaded.

"Baka!" K shouted and shoved Shindou into the room. "You will sleep here, and you will sleep on the floor between the two beds.

He turned to rummage in the closet and came up with a couple of pillows and extra blankets. Giving them a toss, they landed on Shindou's head. "Now lay down and go to sleep."

He could see the tears welling in Shindou's eyes, but he knew he couldn't let up now,

"Now! Get to BED!"

Hiro couldn't understand what was going on. He didn't really have a room problem, he had just wanted to try to get closer to K. First, K had invited him to stay, then leaves. When he finally comes back, he is dragging Shu with him. And, if that wasn't enough, he was treating Shu like he was a bad puppy. The entire situation was pissing him off.

"He can sleep with me K. I'm not going to have him sleeping on the floor." Shu gave him a hopeful look, but the manager squashed the idea quickly.

"No way Shindou, you stay on the floor," K looked Shu directly in the eyes, "between the beds. Do you understand?" Shu's eyes got big and he nodded. "Now lay down."

"You too Hiro," 'did I just call him Hiro?' "lie down and go to sleep." K stomped over and shut off both the television and the lights out, closing the blinds and curtains before getting into bed.

Hiro didn't think he could sleep now, but he was out as soon as his head hit the pillow.

Hours later he was awakened to the sound of soft sobbing, he could tell without looking that it was Shu. He could also hear the soft murmur of K's voice.

"I'm sure he's all right Shu, he'll be back."

"But K, they shot him. They shot him over me. I am so scared."

"Do you regret not leaving in Los Angeles?"

"Yes and no, if I had left, I don't think I would be so scared. But, I hadn't come we wouldn't have had any more time together. I know my coming here has made things worse, worse for him and worse for me."

"Maybe Shindou, but we won't that for sure until this is over."

Hiro had never heard that tone in K's voice before, tender and loving. He didn't stop to think about what was being said, he only heard the tone of voice and was instantly, insanely jealous. He finally opened his eyes and he could see K sitting on the floor in the darkness, cuddling Shu like a baby, rocking him back and forth. Somehow, K must have sensed that he was awake, blue eyes lifted to meet his own. K held Hiro's eyes until Shu fell back to sleep.

Once Shu was settled back onto the floor, K motioned for him to follow him to the bathroom. Once inside K pinned him with a serious look, "I suppose you heard all that?"

Only now did he stop to think about what he had really been listening to. His eyes widened as he thought over what was said.

"I heard, who was Shu talking about? Who was shot?"

"I'll answer some of your questions, but only the ones I think are necessary. You must agree not to tell anyone about what I am going to tell you. And, do not mention anything to Shindou about you knowing. And, in the days to come, you must act surprised about anything odd that might happen. Do you agree?"

"I agree, now who was shot?"

"Yuki." Hiro's reaction of surprise was true this time.

"Why would anyone shoot him? Is he hurt badly?" Hiro was concerned if only for the fact that Shu seemed to love the guy.

"No he was just grazed. The story is very complicated and remember I can't tell you everything. Someone has contracted an assassin to kill Shindou. Yuki is trying to protect him. Anymore I will not and cannot tell you, for your own safety. I will ask that if you see anything else tonight you must keep quiet on you life and pretend to be asleep." He was getting scared himself and it must have shown in his eyes.

K could tell that he had seriously scaredthe other manhalf to death. Reading the fear, he meant only to comfort, butwhen Hiro's body melted against his it reminded him of the strange feelings he had been having whenever Hiro was near. He knew that the boy had a crush on him and the tingly feeling he was getting told him that he was certainly attracted too.

He couldn't seem to control the hand that found its way to the back of Hiro's head and allowed his fingers to run through the silky red tresses. Hiro pressed his body in closer so that he could hear the slight quickening of breath and feel the warm puffs on his ear. Hiro's arms found their way around his waist and the guitarist's began placing small kisses on his neck. He felt his own pulse begin to race. He knew what was going to happen between the two of them and he knew he should stop it, before it got out of hand. But, damn it, he wanted this.

Hiro felt his head being lifted from K's neck and looked up into blue flame eyes. He expected to be shoved away, told off, anything but K's lips descending on his own with a fierce passion. This was not a tender loving kiss; it was the kiss of someone who had been denied something they had wanted for a long while. He found his knees going weak and if K hadn't been holding him, he was sure he would have fallen. K's mouth was all over his kissing, biting, and probing with his tongue.

At first Hiro was powerless under the assault. But, he wanted this too and he had started it. Wrapping one of his legs around K's he brushed his erection against the blonde's growing hardness. At the same time he started nipping at the intruding tongue. K actually growled into his mouth. Strong hands began tearing at his clothes and pushing him towards the shower at the same time. It was a good thing neither had on many clothes because what they were wearing did not survive. Tee shirts and boxers lay torn on the floor. By the time they were in the shower both men were naked. K turned on the water, hiding any noise.

As K turned his head to adjust the water temperature Hiro dropped his head to begin kissing K's chest running a trail of kisses until he reached a nipple. Small bites and preceded light sucking as his hand found the other nipple to begin pinching it erect. K arched towards him groaning in pleasure.

He continued to work his was down K's body until he reached the stiff member. Licking the tip he blew gently, running his hands up the back of the blonde's thighs to massage his muscular cheeks. K's hands tangled in his hair, urging his head forward. He wasn't about to let the man get what he wanted that easily. Teasingly he licked the tip running his tongue along the small slit he could taste the precum just starting to emerge. K had begun to whimper and was gently thrusting toward his mouth.

Sliding his hands around to grasp K's hips, he finally took allowed K into his mouth, using his hands to control the thrusts. He couldn't take him completely without gagging, but it was close enough. He could tell K was getting close to climax when his body started to stiffen. Hiro slid one hand to massage the sensitive area just under the sack and K came almost immediately filling his mouth.

K wasn't completely sure when he had lost control of this situation. He had fully intended on fucking the shit out of Hiro. Now, it looked like Hiro was going to have him, and he still wanted it.

When Hiro got off of his knees, K found it was his turn to have his mouth ravaged. The feel of Hiro's naked body rubbing against his was making him hard again, and quickly. He felt Hiro start rocking back and forth again his leg and running calloused hands down his back to grip his ass firmly. Hiro put one foot on the side of the tub to raise himself high enough so that their erections would rub together.

K didn't know where Hiro had gotten lube from, but he gasped as slicked fingers began massaging his entrance. Slight pain followed as Hiro bit into his lower lip and a finger penetrated him at the same time. He instinctively stiffened at the intrusion.

Hiro paused, allowing K time to adjust. He couldn't believe that K was allowing his to do this. Of all the times he had dreamed of making love with K, it had always been him being submissive. But, K had let him take control. Wanting to make sure that this was really what K wanted, he handed him the lube and at the same time inserted a second finger. After a small grunt Hiro felt K grasp him with a well lubed hand, making him ready. Hiro rocked his hips into K's hand while working his own fingers, stretching and makingthe manready.

Hiro inserted a third finger when K's muscles had relaxed enough, once again waiting until he felt the blonde relax. This time he searched to the hardened area of K's prostate. A shiver and a gasp told him when he had found it and K loosened further. Hiro knew that he was ready as he ever was going to be.

Removing his lips from K's mouth he slid around behind. K was just too tall for him to enter directly. Hiro pushed him to his knees and K did not resist, even when he pushed K's knees to the edges of the tub. Hiro positioned himself on one knee and the other leg over K's hip and gently pressed against K's opening. "Now Hiro," the soft whisper met his ears and he guided the head in. That was as far as he got, K gasped in pain and tightened painfully. Hiro gritted his teeth and waited for the older man to adjust and loosen. They had to go a little at a time until he was all the way in.

Once K was adjusted to his full measure, Hiro began long slow thrusts, making sure he hit the sweet spot every time. Before long K was rocking back to meet him and Hiro picked up the pace. K kept up thrust for thrust. Hiro knew that he should be gentler since he imagined that this was K's first time, but he couldn't seem to control himself. Before long he was pounding into the body under him. He had never been like this with anyone before, wild and uncontrollable. He was desperate to cum and wanted to make this last forever at the same time.

K was panting and groaning under him and finally he felt muscles start to tighten around him. Slipping a hand around K's waist, Hiro grasped K's erection and began pumping in time with his thrusts. One of K's hands joined his, tightening his grip. K's body shuddered and he cried out as the sticky wetness covered his hand. He thrust into K one last time as deep as he could and finally let himself go fillingthe passage with his seed. K's name escaped his lips as he came and collapsed onto the other man's back panting to catch his breath.

It took K a few minutes to get his senses back. He could feel Hiro collapsed upon his back trying to catch his breath. Leaning forward just enough so that Hiro slipped out of him, he quickly flipped onto his back to roughly embrace the man who had just taken his virginity, so to speak. When Hiro finally caught his breath he was all concern.

"Are you all right?"

"Wonderful" K sighed, pulling Hiro's lips back down to meet his for another kiss,

"Although I'm probably going to be sore in the morning. And, just in case you hadn't already guessed. I've been with men, but never as uke." Hiro only smiled at the declaration and the smile was beautiful. "Maybe I'll let you do that again sometime."

"Thank you K. Either way, it doesn't matter," Hiro admitted, "as long as I get to be with you."

"You will Hiro, for a long time if you want me." At this point in time, Hiro was all he wanted.

"I do, you wouldn't believe how much I still want you."

They lay in the tub and held each other for a while, just kissing and enjoying each others company until the small space became too cramped and cold. When they finally managed to climb out and get dressed, K's back was starting to ache. Stretching slowly, he heard the first small noises coming from the other room. K quickly forced Hiro to stay down in the tub and made him cover his head. He grabbed one of his ever present guns and turned the lights out. He silently cursed himself for leaving Shindou alone for so long and was afraid of what he would find when he peeked his head out of the door.

Yuki was later than he thought he was going to be. Now he only had three hours to get Shu out of the hotel and hidden before the sun rose. The weather was complicating everything. If it weren't for the weather he and Shu could just put on disguises and slip into the crowd. But, there weren't any crowds out today and there wouldn't be any tomorrow either. The snow was now at least two feet deep with drifts over his head in some places. Somehow he had to get Shu through the streets unnoticed.

Yuki himself was now dressed in black and white fatigues after doing a little breaking and entering into a military surplus store. While there he had also managed to pick up a some things the singer would need. The supplies now rested comfortably in a pack on his back

He didn't even think twice as he began scaling the snow and ice slicked wall of the hotel. He moved quietly from balcony to balcony until he reached the sixteenth floor and slipped into what he knew was K's window.

At first he couldn't see anything, then he noticed a small foot sticking out from between the beds and gave a slight smile. He also noticed the then strip of light coming from under the bathroom door. As he crouched down to wake Shu he was aware of the bathroom light being shut off and the faint squeaking of the bathroom door being opened.

"It's me K, you can put down the gun." Yuki kept his voice soft. He also did not fail to notice the sound of a click, signifying that K had locked the bathroom door from the inside. He couldn't hold back his grin, "Who's in there K?"

"You don't miss anything do you?" The American asked, surprise clear in his tone. Instead of answering Yuki just continued to stare, he wasn't about to allow his question to be diverted that easily.

K let out a sigh, "All right, it's Hiroshi."

"Thought so. So, what does he know?"

"A little, just the surface facts. I didn't mean for it happen, I thought he was asleep, but he over heard Shindou and I talking and I had to tell him something." K admitted looking a little embarrassed.

"I just hope that he can be trusted." He pinned K with his eyes and he thought the threat was clear.

"I will make sure of it."

Yuki turned back to Shu and pulled the blankets off of his pink head. The kid looked so adorable lying there sprawled out that he couldn't resist leaning over and kissing him awake. Shu responded almost instantly by wrapping warm arms around his neck and eagerly kissing him back.

Yuki finally pulled away and glanced over at K, "I don't suppose you would want to go back to the bathroom for a while?"

K only smirked back, "Maybe later."

Shu was finally completely awake and managed to take him by surprise leaping forward and knocking him back onto his butt.

"Yuki are you all right. I was worried about you. I was a little scared too but mostly worried. Are we leaving now? Did you get me more clothes? Can I have a gun? I really missed you Yuki!"

By the time Shu stopped for air both he and K were laughing.

"Let's see," he was still chuckling, "I'm fine, I was worried about you too, I'm scared too, yes we are leaving soon, yes I have more clothes, and no you can't have a gun." He allowed his grin to fade a little, "I really did miss you too."

"But, but, why can't I have a gun?"

The pout was very cute and Yuki could see how Shu managed to get his way a lot. "Because I don't you to accidentally shoot me, okay?" The bottom lip quivered slightly at his words and he couldn't resist giving it a small nibble.

"Now, I need for you to get ready. I brought you some clothes, they're in the bag. I want you to put then on, all of them, while I speak with K for a minute."

As soon as Shu was changing he pulled K over by the door and handed him a small square of paper.

"These are addresses, the top one is where we are heading to now. The others are for places I will take him if we need to move. None of these are easy to find and I believe they are safe. For right now I just plan on hiding him, but I figure we only have three days left, if that."

"Are you sure you don't want to go ahead and try to hide him here?"

"If they are being so bold as take shots at me, I don't believe they would stop at burning the entire place down in an effort to get at him."

"Okay, but try to call me if you need to move or if you need any help. And, don't forget to keep in touch with McClean and Laytner."

"Have you called Dee yet?"

"Shit! I forgot." K looked extremely agitated with himself.

"Well don't, not now. He's in the hotel across the street. If you can, try to speak with him in person. They probably have the phones bugged by now."

Considering the conversation with K finished, he turned to see that Shu still wasn't dressed yet. He was holding up a black vest and staring at it like it was a snake.

"Yuki do I really have to wear this, it's heavy?" It looked like he cold barely even lift the bulletproof vest.

He and K both answered "Yes" at the same time.

By the time Shu was dressed and ready they only had about two hours of darkness left. Yuki opened another small sack and produced a grappling hook before going to open the window again. Securing the hook he tossed the rope out into the snow.

Shu saw what was about to happen and started to back away. "No way Yuki, you might be Spiderman but I'm not. I'll just go out the door, thank you very much."

He walked over and grasped the singer by the shoulders forcing eye contact, "Do you trust me?" At the first nod he hoisted the small body over his shoulder and was out the window before Shu even had a chance to yell.

K walked over to close the window before sinking down on the bed. He was beginning to have second thoughts. Maybe he should have taken Shindou himself, maybe he should tried to disappear with both Yuki and Shindou.

His thoughts were disturbed by slight noises coming from the bathroom. "Shit!" he cursed softly, he had forgotten about Hiro. He knocked on the door to signal for Hiro to let him in. The door opened quickly to reveal a very unhappy looking red-head.

"Do you know how uncomfortable a bathtub can be after an hour?"

"I'm sorry Hiro. Too much has happened too fast and I'm having problems keeping up." He could only stare miserably at the other man.

"You K, surely not!" He could tell Hiro was trying to lighten the mood but the smile quickly faded, "You're human too you know."

He took a seat on the bed and Hiro followed wrapping an arm around his waist. "Shu's gone isn't he, and you think you've made a mistake? Am I right?"

"On the money. I should have done what Yuki wanted in the first place. I should have taken Shindou and ran in Los Angeles." He lowered his head and sighed into his hands.

"What were you reasons for wanting Yuki to do it," Hiro pulled his hands down, "at the time?"

He held up a hand and started counting on his fingers, "First and foremost because he's better than me. Second, he knows this city. And lastly, he knows the methods of the people hunting Shindou."

"Those are all really good reasons K, now tell me why you're now thinking it is a mistake."

"I did swear you to secrecy and you must keep your word with this also. It's because Yuki is the assassin." He once again buried his head in his hands.

Hiro's arm was snatched from around his waist as if burnt. "What the hell were you thinking! That was an idiot thing to do, are you fucking crazy!"

He looked up as Hiro went bounding off the bed and started pulling on clothes at the same time. He was ranting the entire time. "Where did they go K?"

He could only shake his head in response.

Hiro walked over and slapped his face hard enough to rock his head back. The slap finally brought him to his senses and he also rose to his feet until he and Hiro were eye to eye. He was furious that anyone would have the nerve to slap him. Hiro took another swing at his stomach, but this time he was ready. He grabbed the still swinging arm forcing it behind the guitarist's back and pushing him face first into the bed.

"Dammit K, let me up!"

Hiro was struggling wildly but he continued to put the pressure on until the thrashing ceased. He leaned over to whisper into Hiro's ear, "You want to know where they went?" grabbing the red head with one free hand he turned it to the window. "There's where they went. If you want to follow, you are more than free to try. But, personally I wouldn't advise it."

Hiro was sobbing now, whether from the continued pain in his arm or anger he couldn't tell. K released the arm and allowed the man to sink onto the bed. "Hiro, Yuki is not going to hurt Shindou, he loves him. And, eventhough I have my doubts, even Shindou trusts him." He moved over to begin massaging Hiro's abused shoulder but he continued to remain silent.

"Nothing more to say? You could always start trying to beat the hell out of me again." The silence continued. "Well you could, if you didn't slap like a girl."

He felt a slight twitch in the shoulder he was massaging and knew that it was a laugh.

"Seriously Hiro, you need to let me teach you how to fight. I can't let you keep trying to fight like a girl, when I know damned good and well you are not."

Hiro felt all of the fight suddenly leave him. He attempted to roll over and could only groan when he felt his shoulder pull. "Shit K! Did you tear it out of the socket!"

K helped him roll over onto his back. "It'll be all right. I had to do something, I didn't relish getting my ass kicked by someone I've decided I want for my own. And, there was no way I was going to hit you. Especially when I still have my own doubts and you may be right."

"You still want me?" He felt slightly amazed, "That wasn't just a one time thing? Even after I hit you?" He felt a wild sense of elation.

K lay across his chest and leaned down to give him a tender kiss, "Oh yeah, I want you." The blonde quickly rose from the bed and started getting dressed.

He couldn't hide his sudden confusion, "Where are you going? I thought…" he allowed his words to trail off as K began putting on his shoes.

"Get some sleep Hiro. I'll be back in a while. No more questions right now, I have to go meet with someone."

"About Shu?"

"No more questions!" K snapped and then his look immediately softened, "Yes, about Shindou. Now go to sleep."

After K left the room he didn't think he would be able to sleep and it was quite a while before he was able to close his eyes. When he finally felt K slide into the bed beside him, he could see faint light coming in from around the curtains. He was immediately pulled into strong arms with K proving how much of a man he was too.

Ryo and Dee were still finishing up the report on last night's shooter. In actuality Ryo was writing the report and Dee was telling him what to write. Dee absolutely hated writing reports. It was really the standard "cop on stakeout, cop hears gunshot, cop investigates, perp fires at cop, cop responds with lethal force".

Dee knew that he was going to be placed on administrative leave very soon. The leave was also standard after any situation in which lethal force was involved. It really wouldn't mean anything, the shooting was justified, but it would mean that Ryo would have to work on this case by himself for the next few days. At least until the investigation was completed. The really bad thing was the lie on the report.

Several hours after the incident they had received a visit from Mr. K who had informed them that the guy wasn't just some random gunman, but an organization man who had managed to graze Yuki with his shot. The chief would really kill them both when he found out that Yuki and Shindou were now both gone. K wanted them to continue to watch the hotel for the next couple of days just in case there was anyone watching him and Ryo.

Ryo finished the report and gave him a look, "Think it will fly?"

He raised an eyebrow and grinned, "Of course, your work always does." He got a smirk in return.

"Ryo, I know that K told you where they went. Tell me. Even unofficially I can help keep watch."

"No!" he was given a stern look, "not while you're on leave Dee. That's departmental jurisdiction and not just a case of pissing the chief off this time."

"Do you really expect me to sit back and do nothing?" He was trying his best to stare his partner into submission.

"No, I don't." Ryo ran a hand through his already messy hair, "But, what I do expect is for you not to be seen. Yuki doesn't trust and he will run from you too. So, don't fucking let him catch you."

Ryo leaned over and whispered an address into his ear. He could only grin at what he was hearing. He wanted to get started right away but Ryo stopped him before he could get out the door.

"One more thing Dee. I saw him you know, Yuki. The first time he left the hotel. You were still downstairs. I went to the window and saw him. You're going to think I'm crazy, I know I do, but I watched him scale down the wall of the building. He was like a human fly. In case you didn't know before, he is a very dangerous man."

The intensity in Ryo's voice finally got through.

"Dee just don't let him see you, and don't shoot anyone."

As he walked out the door he knew that Ryo was wishing he was the one to be able to follow Yuki. He loved Ryo as much as he had ever loved anyone and sometimes he wondered how the man could believe that he would always be rash and impulsive. 'I won't do anything foolish,' he thought to himself, 'like getting myself killed.'
