Thank you for those wonderful reviews about the previous chapter! I only realised that Shinichi's first kiss was taken by the creep when a reviewer pointed it out, honestly, I was just trying to think of ways to get Saguru and Kaito into a possessive jealous rage. Well, it worked either way. I hope you enjoy to this chapter, so on with the story!
As his vision blurred the door swung open with an almighty crash, they hadn't even tried to pick the lock, just breaking the door altogether.
"Shinichi!" Their voices called out, and the heavy weight on top of him was thrown. He coughed, bile rising up in his throat. He blinked his vision back into focus seeing the concerned gazes of his friends. When a hand cupped his cheek, he nuzzled into it, needing the contact to erase the vile shifters touch.
"Ru, Kai." He sighed into the touch, his mind and body exhausted from the struggle. He watched with concealed fascination as their expressions changed to utter fury. Saguru's wings were out in a flash of light, spread wide and high in a birds intimidation tactics. Kaito glowered while clutching Shinichi to his chest in a tight grip. He could feel the magician tremble in barely contained rage.
"How dare you hurt him!" Saguru bellowed, glowering at the shifter who was getting up, a snarl on his lips. He lunged at Saguru, who easily battered him down in what seemed to be a practiced move. It was strange, to see the normally refined Saguru change to something that could only be described as barely contained feral rage. Shinichi's eyes widened slightly as Saguru beat the perpetrator into submission. Saguru glared down at the whimpering shifter, who was apparently feeling the difference in their dominance levels. Masumoto tried to scramble back before Kaito out right snarled, pulling his card gun out and aiming it between the shifters eyes. Shinichi shuddered, his own genes forcing him to lean his head back, exposing his neck.
"By my authority as the Falcon prince, you are under arrest by shifter law for trying to mark an underage shifter, and by human law for pedophilia." Saguru snarled, pulling his police issued handcuffs out and snapping them onto Masumoto's wrists. He gripped the mans wrists tighter then necessary, definitely leaving bruises though with his shifter genes they'd disappear quickly. Kaito had exchanged his gun for his phone and called Saguru's father.
Shinichi wasn't all too sure what happened after they'd started descending the stairs back into the penthouse, by the time he was aware of himself, all he knew was that the man had left without his original clothes, hair colour, hairstyle, and was probably utterly traumatized. All he wanted to do now was to have a hot shower to wash that guys touch off. Excusing himself from a worried Saguru and Kaito, he made his way into the bathroom, leaning against the door to just breathe.
He quickly stripped off the clothes and watched himself in the mirror. He saw how bruised his lips were, a little bit of blood still coppery in his mouth, eyes sunken and tired, body pale compared to its usual colour. When his eyes dragged to his neck where those twin marks were, he gently pressed down on them, just to feel them. He shuddered and felt his face flush at the feeling.
What was he doing? Shinichi sighed, and clambered into the shower, setting it to scalding, not caring that he was probably boiling himself alive. He scrubbed himself raw, he could still feel those disgusting hands touching him, like a thousand spiders crawling over him. He only got out of the shower when a knock on the door along with a concerned question snapped him out of it.
"I'm fine." He called out, the lack of conviction in his words was evident even to him. There was a hesitant pause before the shadow beneath the door left. Shinichi sighed and climbed out, only to realize that his skin was flushed from the heat. He shook his head to dislodge some of the water before towling himself off, excluding his hair. It would dry fine on its own. Shinichi blinked when he realised that he'd forgotten to grab other clothes, he sighed and wrapped the towel around his waist. When he reached for the door handle he spied clothes on the bench. He raised an eyebrow at it but was thankful that Kaito had picked the lock and put clothes out for him.
Once dressed, he unlocked the door and peered out. Masumoto wasn't in sight, probably taken away by Saguru's father, and the other two were sitting on the couch talking in hushed tones. The moment he took a step out both of their gazes snapped to him, concern written all over them. Kaito was first to get up, walking over to him.
"Shin-chan?" He whispered, opening his arms in offer. Shinichi didn't allow himself to think or make a noise, he just walked into Kaito's arms and just relaxed. Kaito tightened his grip on him, taking him over to sit with Saguru who was waiting paitiently.
"Wanna talk about it?" Saguru asked, wrapping his arms around the two brunettes. Shinichi shook his head, not trusting his voice. He just buried himself deeper into the warmth. Kaito hummed, fingers carding through his hair, frowning when he found it to still be wet.
"You should at least dry your hair." He murmured, magicing a towel into his hand. Shinichi let them tend to him, he couldn't find it in himself to stop them. As Kaito tenderly dried his hair, he relaxed into their hold as Saguru caressed his sides. Their soft touches chasing away the memories of those feral hands. Once Kaito finished drying his hair, he poofed the towel away and wrapped his arms around Shinichi.
Shinichi's instincts immediately demanded more reassurance that he was safe, and for once, he found he couldn't disagree with them. He glanced at Saguru's and Kaito's eyes in a pleading manner, before turning his gaze to his hands and tilting his head back. He prayed that they got the message, he really didn't feel like speaking, but he wouldn't complain if they still didn't want to. He was pleasantly surprised when he heard low rumbling from both of them before they nosed at his neck. A shudder racked his body as their calming presence washed over him. When teeth scrapped across his neck in a question, he could only lean his head back further.
He could feel his cheeks flush at his behavior, he wanted to blame it on his genes, but he knew it in his heart that this was him wanting reassurance, wanting their touch, wanting them. It was selfish of him to do this, but he just wanted this little bit of paradise before this dream had to end. He couldn't have stopped the moan even if he had tried when they both bit down, still not hard enough to be a mating mark, but enough so that he could dream if only for a second, that they all were mates. As they pulled away, gently laving at the mark, his body shuddered and he turned into the warmth, not wanting to lose it just yet. He closed his eyes with a sigh, they'd definitely know about his submissive genes now. If they hadn't, they most likely wouldn't have done as he'd asked. He nuzzled into the chest behind him, insistently pushing for the contact.
"Well take the next few days off until you shift, we'll make sure nothing else happens, 'kay?" Kaito murmured into Shinichi's ear before nuzzling his detectives. Shinichi nodded, it was only morning and he already felt exhausted. He knew that that was also due to his blood awakening soon, but he couldn't stop his frustration about it.
"How about I put on a magic show, Shin-chan?" Kaito stated more than asked, pulling out his tricks and gear from thin air. Shinchi gave a weak smile before turning to face the magician. Behind him he could feel Saguru sit up and perk to attention. Shinichi felt some of his old fire stir in his blood at the thought of a challenge from the one and only KID, no, this was Kaito. He felt different to KID, more childish wonder and fun, yet just as challenging. He couldn't stop the smirk that twitched onto his lips, the gleam in his eye when he found a new interesting case. Kaito grinned back at him, a thing of challenges and deceitful wiles sidled with soft smiles.
Kaito was enjoying himself, performing for his favorite detectives just for fun, to just inspire and amaze them. It was different than a heist, more fun and games then the pressure of trying to find Pandora, of trying to dodge bullets, and not get caught while making sure no one got hurt. It felt so freeing; this was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. To bring joy, wonder, amazement, and awe. To be a bringer of miracles, to be the best magician in the world, to be the one who surpassed his father.
Saguru smiled at his mate, this was what Kaito was born to do. To surprise and bring joy to his audience. As a detective, Saguru wanted to protect this innocence, this special childishness that he so cherished in his mate. He tightened his grip on Shinichi, he wanted to protect him too, but the said brunette certainly made it difficult. He'd protect them both, his mate and their special treasure. He'd make sure all of them made it out alive.
Hehe, I do believe the relationship is developing nicely!I just love it when characters get into jealous rages, I don't know why, but just love watching their expressions. In the actual series I'm always eager to see Shinichi get angry, he gets so awesome when he does. ;) What does everyone else think? Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed the chapter, and I look forward to hearing from a few brave souls in the review section. Love ShySecret-chan~
