Rikuou sighed; turning over in his sleep, "Mm…" he groped at the bed beside himself his arm falling upon an empty space. Curiously he looked up from the pillow he had just stuffed his face into frowning when he found no warm body to curl up to.

He sat up and ran a hand through his dark locks, which clearly stuck up in all directions, indication he had just woken up.

Rikuou looked around the room, the sun was shining in through the window and it had to be mid-morning or early morning; the window was just in the sun's path. He didn't exactly care, not bothering to seek out a clock.

He could vaguely remember something about a shower, and hopped out of bed heading for the bathroom. No water was running, so Kazahaya must have stepped out briefly.

Quickly he showered, and dried off his hair poorly with a towel, droplets of water dripping down from the tips of his hair.

He would just have to clean up whatever water he trekked into the hallway later, slipping into his room. It was blissfully dark, the curtains shut tightly effectively getting his point across to the sun, 'You are not welcome here.'

He really hated being woken up by the stupid sunlight forcing itself into his room, but he would have to flick on the light briefly because he couldn't tell whether his shirt was on frontwards or backwards.

It was one of those tag-less things.

He grumbled, padding over to the light by his bed. He was sure his jeans and boxers were on correctly, but the stupid shirt…

His hand hit something on the metal lamp-shade falling off of it onto the floor, "Dammit, what the hell…" He quickly hit the button at the base of the light picking up the piece of paper. (1) How they managed to stick something to the tiny desk lamp was beyond him.

He balanced putting his shirt on and glancing at the note; it looked like Kazahaya's hand writing.

He sat on the bed holding it by the light,

Rikuou,

I know this may come as a shock to you, but please don't worry…

Last night as you slept Kouji showed up again...

I had no other choice, and I'm sorry, but…

I decided to go with him.

I want to protect you the most.

Please don't come looking for me, it's for your own protection.

I'm so sorry, Rikuou.

But, this is for the better. I can guarantee your safety, and I know you'll be un-harmed.

I'll be alright, it will all be okay.

I love you.

-Kazahaya

P.S. … Please take care of Taka I've left him in your care.

Rikuou, dumbfounded, stared at the note blankly. He quickly read and re-read it again, and again grasping it tightly. His heart was pounding in his chest, and he couldn't seem to remember how to breathe as his throat constricted.

He pushed himself off of his bed, dashing to the door. It swung open hitting the wall with an audible 'thud' Rikuou running through it, the door bouncing back into the closed position moments later.

He took the stairs three at a time, clearing the last few in a leap. The automatic doors slid opened quickly glass containers breaking around him. Kakei looked up from his newspaper, pushing his glasses further up onto his nose gracefully swiping stray hairs away from his face, "Rikuou?"

The raven slammed the note down in front of the precog pieces of the counter chipping off and tumbling to the floor.

Kakei carefully picked it up scanning its contents a few times; just as carefully placing it back down, his eyes came to rest on Rikuou's face which was a mask of worry, anticipation, his eyes trembled with untold pain. He was trying to keep it together, his resolve held together by a hair.

"Rikuou," Kakei started softly, pausing when the green eyes widened slightly, "…I'm sorry."

"No," Rikuou backed away from the counter slowly, the blonde stood, following Rikuou like a cornered animal, "No, don't you dare say it."

Saiga emerged from the back room, coming up behind the boy. He stopped Rikuou placing his hands gently on his shoulders, "Rikuou," he whispered, "You need to calm down."

Rikuou shook his head, his shoulders trembling. Saiga flinched slightly when one of the lenses on his sunglasses cracked, "Rikuou," he said more sternly, "Calm. Down."

"…He's gone," Rikuou said above a mere whisper chuckling softly, "He's actually… gone." Rikuou ran a hand through his hair, "He's…. gone…" The shelf behind them creaked, protesting the oncoming force of Rikuou's mental attack. It snapped in half, hitting the other shelf behind it as it fell, breaking things on both of the shelves the first one still being continuously attacked. The metal being sliced through cut sharply though the air, screeching and tearing.

A deadly silence fell over them moments later, Kakei shooting worried glances to Saiga who still held a firm grip on the boys' shoulders, "Rikuou…"

Rikuou laughed at the irony of it all, gripping his hair tighter in his hand, his other coming up to gesture in the air as he spoke, "Like…the fucking wind." (2)

Rikuou glanced around, tearing free from Saiga's grip as he headed for the door.

"Rikuou!" Kakei shouted after him, both men grabbing the boy.

Calmly, "Let go."

Kakei moved back, letting Saiga firmly hold Rikuou in place, "You don't even know where to look."

"Then I'll look until I find him." Rikuou narrowed his eyes, shooting them both a warning glance.

"You need to think about this rationally. I can't see him anymore, how do you expect to find him?" Kakei winced when more glass broke around them.

"Dunno."

Saiga interjected, "You don't understand the severity of the situation at hand."

Rikuou shook his head, "I do understand it. He's gone, Saiga! He's fucking gone. I'm going to find him one way or another."

"Rikuou, please be more reasonable, we need to gather resources first. You can't just blindly go looking for him. If you find him, and he is in a dangerous situation you could be hurt, or worse, killed." Kakei came around to stand in front of Rikuou, meeting his glare.

Rikuou's eyes softened, he cast his glance to the side, "I… What about him? Do you think he's hurting right now?"

Kakei stepped forward, placing his hands on either side of Rikuou's face, getting his attention back, "…I don't know...It'll be alright."

Rikuou inhaled sharply, "Kakei… he's gone…" Saiga released his hold on Rikuou, patting him lightly.

Kakei nodded slowly, "Yeah, I know, Rikuou."

Rikuou bit his lip, a small sob escaping from his throat; his green eyes wavered as he swallowed hard.

Kakei gathered the boy gently in his arms, Rikuou clinging to him like a child burying his face into the pre-cog's neck.

And for the first time in his life when someone had disappeared from him suddenly did he cry.

Saiga clenched his fists, the heart wrenched sobs tearing at him.

They would have to find Kazahaya no matter what. Without him, he feared Rikuou had no purpose in living.

The car ride back was partially silent, Kouji asking a question every now and again. Kazahaya stared out the window, watching the trees and such whirl by undistinguishable unless they slowed or he looked out of the front window.

He answered when asked, and made idle chit-chat as to not anger the man. Though, he did seem detached, and would probably get reprimanded later.

Oh goodie, he thought to himself nearly rolling his eyes, back to the daily beatings. Looking forward to that.

He couldn't resist and bitterly shoved the thought aside, gripping his seatbelt in his hands a little tighter.

"So," the man beside him started up again, breaking the awkward silence that had fallen over them, Kazahaya turned to face the blonde ripping his eyes from the blurry scenery, "Why did you decide to come with me this time?"

Kazahaya shrugged, "Because you would have just come back anyway."

Kouji chuckled, "Right you are, my dear."

The brunette paused, "Can I… ask you a question now?"

Kouji glanced over at him, gripping the steering wheel tighter before relaxing, a small smile gracing his face as he looked back to the road, "Of course you can."

Kazahaya bit his lip, "How did you… survive? I mean, you were shot in the head after all."

Smile faltering, blue eyes flashed over to him again and Kazahaya sat back into his seat, "Well, you know, you don't have to answer if you don't want to…" Shit, he looks kind of mad.

It was Kouji's turn to shrug, "Maybe God just didn't want to keep us apart." He laughed softly to himself, "Actually, your little boyfriend didn't exactly hit correctly. Well, he did, but as you can see it obviously was ineffective."

"Does that make you… a zombie?" (3) Kazahaya was curious, how the hell does someone survive that kind of trauma?

Kouji laughed, "Oh, heaven's no. Zombies don't exist, darling. Like a cat, I have 9 lives."

Kazahaya nodded, "Oh, I see."

No more questions, he might step on a landmine, he didn't want that to happen.

After what seemed like forever, Kouji pulled into a small, rural area. Kazahaya swallowed the lump in his throat as the house came into view, his stomach flipping over into knots when the Mercedes finally stopped.

"Come on, then." Kouji took the key out of the ignition, unbuckling his seatbelt heading for the house.

Kazahaya hesitantly followed, closing the car door slowly standing before the house. He stood there and stared, he didn't want to go inside. This was a bad idea, he thought dimly to himself. He was wary but, nonetheless relieved to some extent. He knew Rikuou was going to be safe.

Rikuou must have found his note by now, it had been hours, Kazahaya bit his lip cautiously entering the house. He stopped in the doorway, calming his erratic breathing.

"Okay," he said to himself, "You can do this. Just take it one day at a time…" He took a few more deep breaths fully entering the house.

He stepped into the hallway, glancing to his right; the living room had new furniture and had been painted a deep, red and orange color giving the room a slight glow.

As he approached the kitchen he heard murmuring. Someone must have already been here waiting before they arrived.

Kouji's voice reached his ears next as he took another step closer, stopping to listen, "Seriously, go home."

A soft chuckle, "Fine, fine. Have it your way." (4)

Footsteps lead towards him a dark-haired man coming into view; Kazahaya cautiously took a step back as the man approached, "Oh."

Kazahaya blinked, "What are you…"

"—Doing here? Fantastic question, I could be asking you the same thing, no? Actually, I just so happened to be on my way out."

Kouji stepped into the hall, "Seriously, Lou, go home already."

The black-haired man glanced behind himself, he narrowed his amber eyes, "Got it, got it."

Kouji rolled his eyes, "Kazahaya, see him out," and with that he disappeared back into the kitchen.

Lou smiled at Kazahaya abruptly grabbing him by the arm heading towards the door. Once he was sure they were out of earshot, Lou released the boy sighing deeply, "I warned you: Stay near the one you call 'Rikuou', did I not?"

Kazahaya looked down, nodding his head silently, "I came of my own will."

Lou crossed his arms over his chest, "Really now? Are you saying ya want to be closer to this man?"

"No."

"Then what?"

Kazahaya shook his head, "I don't have to explain myself to you. And what the hell are you doing here anyway?"

Lou raised an eyebrow, "Should I respond accordingly here? 'I don't have to explain myself to you.' Yes?"

Kazahaya bit back a sigh, "Alright, fair enough. I wanted to protect Rikuou, so I left."

Lou chuckled softly, "Ouch. He must have taken that rather well, don'tcha think?"

Kazahaya frowned, "Don't rub it in. I feel bad enough already."

Lou smiled, "I apologize."

The psychic grumbled, looking away.

"I work for Kouji."

Kazahaya's attention was back on Lou very quickly, his gaze snapping upwards towards the man, "Excuse me?"

Lou shrugged, "I don't have a choice. Sorry, kiddo. Debt and such, a horribly binding contract. I believe it was either this or die. And, I've got to say, death looks pretty tempting right about now."

Kazahaya bit his lip again, refraining from saying anything.

"I'll be in touch." Lou clapped Kazahaya on the shoulder turning for the door, "Hang in there, kid."

And with that, he was gone.

Kazahaya ran a hand through his hair, closing the door behind Lou; he leaned back against the door closing his eyes. He could feel a headache starting to form right behind his eyes, it wasn't pleasant.

"Kazahaya." Kouji looked at him silently, carefully studying him with blue eyes.

The psychic's eyes snapped open, "Yes?"

Kouji gently took him by the wrist, "Come on."

Kouji prepared lunch, Kazahaya waiting in the living room. He was nervous, and wasn't anticipating whenever Kouji was set off. He couldn't describe the feeling in the house, but whenever the silence crept up on him he felt like he was being watched. Kouji called him into the kitchen moments later.

Kazahaya gracefully got up from the sofa, striding into the kitchen. A shiver ran up his spine as he passed the closed basement door.

Kazahaya stopped, glancing over to it and swallowed again, Kouji placed a few things on the table chuckling softly, "Worried?"

The brunette looked over at Kouji, "What?"

Kouji smirked, gesturing to the door repeating himself in a more mischievous tone, "Worried?"

Kazahaya shook his head quickly, taking a seat at the table, "N-no."

The blonde rested his elbows on the table clasping his hands together resting his chin on them, "You will be."

Kazahaya did his best to ignore the implications, nodding silently.

Kouji broke the silence, "I should tell you, your sister called for you earlier. She heard you were back in town, I suppose."

Kazahaya looked up, "Kei did? That was kind of quick."

Kouji nodded, "Yes. But, I do not want you to call her back. I think she would be tempted to come over."

Kazahaya couldn't remember the last time he had seen or even spoken to his sister. She was always very distant during the time he lived here, and he had just about lost contact with her when he had taken up residence at the Green Drugstore.

"I—..." He paused biting his lip, cautiously, "Alright. But, what if she comes over anyway? You know how she gets."

Kouji rolled his eyes, "Send her away."

"But, Kouji, she's my sister…"

Blue eyes darted over to Kazahaya, turning icy flashing a quick warning, "No."

Kazahaya nodded, silently turning back to his meal. They ate in relative silence before Kouji let out a huge sigh, placing his silverware back down onto his plate, "Don't pout like that, darling."

Brown eyes looked up, "I'm not pouting."

Kouji's chair slid back against the wooden floor, making a slight scraping sound, "Oh?" He went around to Kazahaya's chair leaning in; he placed his hands on either side of the psychic's shoulders, "You're making such a cute face."

Kazahaya turned his head to meet Kouji's gaze, the blonde cocked an eyebrow, "I'll compromise, how about a kiss and I let her come over?"

The brunette's shoulder's relaxed slightly, cracking a small, nervous smile up at the blonde, "Okay," he said quietly. In all honesty it was a small price to pay in order to see his sister again.

Kazahaya wrapped his arms around the blonde's neck turning more in his chair to comfortably reach Kouji. Tentatively leaning up, Kouji moved in to close the distance, snaking his hand around the brunette's neck, pulling him closer. (5)

He couldn't outright say he didn't like it-the blonde deepening the kiss as Kazahaya's eyes slid closed—a small gasp escaping him as Kouji suddenly moved his hands down and over Kazahaya's back massaging tense muscle.

Kouji smirked to himself, breaking away suddenly, his eyes analyzing the brunette.

Kazahaya blushed, glancing away, "Well." Kazahaya moved back from Kouji, the blonde standing up still smirking to himself. He had an idea. A delightfully sinister idea, but he would wait… just a moment.

The brunette grabbed his plate and Kouji's swiftly moving towards the sink, intention to wash the plates commencing. Shit. He cursed inwardly slapping himself mentally for kind-of, sort-of enjoying that. Kouji was being so gentle that he let himself get carried away. He had to calm down; he was not with Rikuou anymore. And lovers did that kind of thing, right?

Lovers…

He sighed, turning on the sink, when all was said and done that was the reality, wasn't it?

Kouji and him were once again lovers, well; they would be… if Kouji had his way tonight. Or later that afternoon…

He wasn't really looking forward to anything involving sex with Kouji, but he could feel the heated stare on his back taking in his every movement.

Kouji sauntered up behind Kazahaya wrapping his arms around the thin waist.

Kazahaya gasped, looking over his shoulder to glance at Kouji, he had almost dropped the plate his was working on.

"Kouji…"

Kouji smirked, his hands moving down the front of Kazahaya's shirt, his lips gently moving against the brunette's pale neck.

Kazahaya's eyes widened, quickly pressing himself further into the edge of the sink his eyes concentrating on the dishes. Kouji chuckled softly pressing himself into the brunette who retreated slightly, but, now, he had nowhere left to go.

Kouji slowly pulled Kazahaya's shirt free from his jeans, reaching for the button… Kazahaya dropped the plate, the water still running, it clanking softly to the bottom of the sink. Kazahaya's hand covered Kouji's; he gasped his eyes frantically darting to their hands.

The blonde stopped his exploration of Kazahaya's neck, "Hm… done with the dishes, my darling?"

Kazahaya tensed gripping the sink tightly with his other hand, "…No," he whispered softly.

Kouji reached over, turning off the sink, grabbing the red dish towel – it matched the plates—holding it in front of Kazahaya's face, "You're hands are wet."

Kazahaya released his grip on the counter, taking it silently, he didn't want to let go of Kouji's hand but… he did, with much reluctance, drying his hands folding the towel quietly placing it back on the sink.

Meanwhile, Kouji had started at the button again, carefully sliding the zipper down as well continuing his exploration of Kazahaya's neck.

Kazahaya's heart was beating rapidly; his hands had a deadly grip on the counter once again, his knuckles turning white. His head was raised slightly, and arm wrapping itself around his waist.

Kouji narrowed his eyes, whispering in Kazahaya's ear, "Turn around," he moved away slightly giving the psychic a little room.

Kazahaya slowly turned to face Kouji leaning back against the sink, "Kouji…"

The man smirked, "Good." Kouji reached up and gently took Kazahaya's chin in hand, "Now I can see your pretty face."

Kazahaya inwardly winced, he wanted to convince Kouji to let them move into the bedroom, but there really was no stopping this once it had already started.

Kouji was like a well-oiled machine, once you turned him on he was up and ready to go. (I may or may not have been rambling here because I ran out of things to say.)

Kazahaya's lips found their way back to Kouji's, reaching up to wrap his arms around the blonde's neck. Kouji's hand had begun to travel downwards again, stroking gently over Kazahaya's chest, and stomach hovering slightly over his crotch. Kazahaya let out a small gasp when Kouji had begun to stroke him through his pants, pulling back slightly.

"Ko-..."

"Take off my shirt."

Kazahaya blinked, "…What?"

Kouji narrowed his eyes slightly, "Take off my shirt," he repeated, calmly.

Kazahaya hesitantly gripped the bottom of Kouji's white t-shirt, slowly sliding it up over his midriff, and chest exposing more and more of his rippling muscles. Kouji's eyes glinted with something close to curiosity, slowly lifting his arms in the air, his hands parting from Kazahaya's flesh.

The brunette slowly lifted the shirt up and over Kouji's head, standing on his toes briefly to get it the rest of the way off. He dropped it to the floor in one swift movement. The shirt landed in a pile by their feet, the first of few clothes to be discarded as of yet.

Kouji smirked his mouth curling up into a curve. Kazahaya could sense the air around them become dangerous with the man's need to dominate him.

Kazahaya gasped when Kouji's hand returned to his semi-hard shaft, reaching inside of his pants to firmly take hold of him, pumping Kazahaya slowly. Raking his fingernails across the urethral opening, down and across the tip, teasing the underside.

Kazahaya clenched his teeth together, his hips involuntarily bucking into the sensations.

"It's cute when you resist like that." Kouji smirked mischievously, "But, I can change that…" In an instant Kazahaya found himself staring up at the ceiling from his new position on the floor. He could feel the cool tile against his back; it felt good through his shirt.

Kouji got on his knees briefly, slowly sliding the end of his belt out of the loop pulling it back once so the thin, metal part released itself from the slot. The metal clanked together quietly, the belt coming open. The blonde pulled it free with one hand, unbuttoning the top button on his pants with the other.

Kouji narrowed his ice-blue eyes, slowly straddling Kazahaya's waist, "Hold up your wrists," Kouji commanded, swiftly breaking the silence in the room.

Kazahaya slowly lifted his arms from his sides, bringing them together briefly before extending them towards Kouji, "Yeah, that's good." Kouji took his belt and slowly looped it around the brunette's wrists, fastening it together again.

Kazahaya briefly tested the bind, "You've gotten better at these…" Kazahaya nearly sighed.

Kouji cocked an eyebrow, "I suppose… get on your knees."

Kouji moved back, allowing Kazahaya the space to turn around raising himself up slowly onto his knees.

"See, Kazahaya, isn't complying a lot easier than resisting?" He could hear the mirth in Kouji's voice. He glanced over his shoulder at the blonde giving him a brief nod, focusing his eyes back onto the tiles.

"Hmm…" Kouji leaned forward, unzipping Kazahaya's jeans fully, slowly sliding them down and past his thighs, "Such delicate skin you have…" Kouji ran his hand slowly across Kazahaya's upper thigh, caressing him tenderly.

Kazahaya heard a brief click followed by a distinct snap; he raised his head again and looked behind himself, "Kouji…" He breathed, barely above a whisper.

"Don't worry, doll, just testing this out on you. It has a mild aphrodisiac, so it won't stay cold forever…" Kouji placed a small case next to Kazahaya so he could get a better glance. It was barely big enough to fit in someone's pocket, though you'd think that would be the general idea. Light, concealable and compact.

The top was open, and inside was a clear jelly-like substance that small sparkling beads inside of it, "You see, your body heat melts the beads, and well… you know the rest."

Kazahaya was skeptical, but anything to get this to move along quicker…The sooner it was over the better.

Kouji took a hold of the waist band of Kazahaya's boxers, "It's also so I can assure you won't want to stop half-way in." A quick yank and a tug and they were also lowered, "Just be a good boy, I'll reward you later." Kouji grabbed the case again, and Kazahaya gasped immediately when he felt the cool, gel press against his entrance.

Kouji made quick work of him making sure to take his time so the effects of the drug could also kick in before he began. A slick finger entered him, instantly finding his sweet spot. Kazahaya gasped, his cock twitching again. Kouji leaned over him, gently taking a hold of his cock again with his free hand, still continuing to probe with the other.

Kazahaya's breath hitched, he could feel his body starting to react to the drug, and every touch sent small electric shocks through his body. He sunk down to his elbows, burying his head in his arms gasping and breathing heavily into those. He was slightly happy that his gasps were a little more muffled by his arms, but his attempts were still in vain.

Kouji had since entered a second, and a third finger, and was currently brushing up against his prostate again, Kazahaya moaned again, his hips pushing back against the fingers; the tile was beginning to dig into his knees, but as Kouji continued to stoke him all coherent thoughts left his mind.

Kazahaya barely looked behind himself when he heard Kouji's voice, "Look at how wet you're getting." Kazahaya's eyes watched Kouji barely touch him now, pre-cum dripping to the floor.

"Haa…"

Kouji's eyes narrowed, halting his actions as he glanced towards the kitchen's doorway, not even a second later Lou waltzed through the door.

He paused his conversation on his cell phone, "Curious," He cocked a black eyebrow.

Kouji pulled his fingers free from Kazahaya, "Can't you see we're busy?"

Lou shrugged, "Gonna have ta finish later. Orders." He expectantly held the phone out towards Kouji.

The blonde growled, getting up from his position on the floor snatching the phone away from Lou. He growled in annoyance backhanding Lou across the face, "Fucking Christ." He, in sheer annoyance, put the phone up to his ear, yelling into it unhappily, "What the fuck do you want?"

Lou smirked, brushing the hair away from his face.

Kazahaya leaned back, settling into a kneeling position, bringing both hands up to his face to brush the hair away from his eyes; Lou quietly knelt beside him taking a hold of his chin.

"Your eyes…He drugged you…"

Kazahaya leaned in to the touch briefly, pushing Lou's hand away moments later, "Stop…"

Lou smirked, "Hmm… That won't do." His hand barely hovered over Kazahaya's still erect penis, "He'll probably be leavin' soon." He pulled his hand back.

Kazahaya leaned into Lou's chest, "Just," He breathed, "Touch it…a little. Don't tease me."

"Don't worry. I'll take care of you shortly." Lou smirked, cuing Kouji's arrival perfectly.

Kouji stormed back into the room throwing Lou's phone back at him, Lou easily grabbed it out of the air, "Fucking take care of him, I'll be back later." He ground out, turning on his heel angrily slamming the door behind himself.

"When do you think he'll be back?" Lou asked curiously eyeing the belt wrapped around Kazahaya's wrists.

Kazahaya shook his head, "After midnight…" He gasped lightly, "It's only 4 in the afternoon… now…"

Lou gently un-did the belt around Kazahaya's wrists placing it precariously on the floor next to them, "How can you be so sure?"

Kazahaya was still breathing heavily, the smallest of movements from Lou arousing him further, "Later… means after midnight."

Lou pulled away briefly, easily scooping Kazahaya into his arms, "Bedroom?"

Kazahaya shook his head, "Kitchen floor."

Lou smirked, "Not the floor. It's degrading. Perhaps, I'll look for one on my own then."

"Down the hall…"

Lou smiled, "Yes, I am aware. Guest bedroom, perhaps?"

Kazahaya managed a small nod. Somewhere between the hall and the bedroom, Lou had discarded Kazahaya's garments, gently placing him on to the bed, "When did you…?"

Lou shrugged pointing to the doorway and the carpet, "There… and, there. Except for… your shirt."

Kazahaya could feel the sheets below him, they were cool against his heated skin, he reached out tentatively taking Lou's wrist in his hand, guiding him on to the bed. He had managed to rid Lou of his shirt, before his wrists were lightly grasped, "Kazahaya… I'm not going to have sex with you."

"Lou…"

"No, seriously." He smirked, "Just let me help you, alright?" He didn't wait for a reply releasing Kazahaya's wrists, and guiding him back onto the bed. Trailing his fingers down Kazahaya's chest he took the hem of the shirt in his fingers, gently sliding it up over the brunette's stomach.

Kazahaya arched into the touch, clenching the sheets in his hands. He gasped as he suddenly felt Lou lick his throbbing cock. Lou had repositioned himself between Kazahaya's legs, grasping his thighs lightly, pushing them apart further. Kazahaya threw his head back crying out as Lou took him into his mouth and throat.

Kazahaya's hips thrust upwards into the warm, wet sensation. Lou's hand came down to gently push the psychic's hips back down into the bed, pulling back slightly to avoid being choked.

Kazahaya's hand came down to bury themselves within Lou's dark hair, "…Lou…"

The raven pulled back, "See how much nicer the bed is?" Lou smirked.

Kazahaya leaned up, pushing Lou back, straddling his hips. Lou pushed Kazahaya's shirt up once more, sliding it past his stomach and chest, eventually pulling it off all together dropping it to the floor beside the bed.

Lou stroked over Kazahaya's thighs, lightly running his fingertips across the brunette's need, earning himself a delicious moan. Kazahaya raised his hips wanting the other to grasp him more firmly, instead of teasing him. Lou smirked, pulling his hand back slightly, grasping Kazahaya's thighs and pulling him fully into his lap.

Kazahaya brought his hand to Lou's face, gently stroking his thumb over the less red, but slightly irritated sport where Kouji had hit him earlier.

Lou gently grabbed Kazahaya's hand bringing it around to rest on the back of his neck, "It is fine. I've been hit harder before." He grinned, "Though, that one's got a temper on him, huh?"

Kazahaya refrained from rolling his eyes. To say the last, temper did not even begin to describe the way that man expressed his anger. Kouji was the kind of person that when he got angry, everyone around him felt his wrath. It was safe to say, getting thrown down concrete stairs was not just a temper, "Try….psychopathic anger…issues," he replied.

Lou nodded in agreement, "Yes, I suppose that would be a better way to put it."

Kazahaya merely m'hm-ed tentatively tilting Lou's chin up, leaning down himself to meld their lips together. Lou wasted no time in snaking his tongue into Kazahaya's mouth. Kazahaya moaned softly, pulling Lou with him as he retreated back to his position amongst the pillows. Lou pulled back slightly breathless, "You're tempting me."

Kazahaya could feel Lou's hardness pressing into his thigh; he needed some way to get from point a, being the pants, to point b, being out of them. He wanted Lou to have sex with him, because at this point, sucking him off was not going to cut it and clearly they both wanted release.

"So, then… let me." Kazahaya reached between them, stroking Lou through his pants slowly undoing the top button and carefully sliding the zipper down. Lou's hand covered Kazahaya's, he glanced up briefly, and by that time Lou had already captured his lips again.

Lou pulled back leaving Kazahaya slightly breathless, sliding back slowly, carefully maneuvering himself half off of the bed. He reached into his pocket, retrieving his phone quickly tossing it out onto the bed-side table. Kazahaya briefly glanced over at it as it was lightly thrown into the base of the lamp making a small clink-ing noise.

Lou pulled his pants down over his hips, stepping off the bed completely to drop them to the floor, kicking them free of his leg. They were soon sprawled across the floor a few feet from where he stood moments before- effortlessly slipping back onto the bed, straddling Kazahaya's slim waist.

Kazahaya smirked, "Commando…?"

Lou shrugged, "Such a waste when they would not be on for long anyway, but a terrible situation if I was not careful, huh?"

Kazahaya merely nodded, not bothering to respond. Lou was only slightly taller than Kouji but he had already underestimated what could possibly have been Lou's… size. He groaned, maybe sex wasn't the best idea, but as soon as Lou tentatively wrapped his fingers around the base of his own burning arousal, he had forgotten stupid things like that.

Lou leaned down attaching his lips to Kazahaya's neck, the brunette arching into him again. He was more pleased than not, not expecting to come over here and have, well, this happen. If anything he sort of figured the blonde was already in Kazahaya's pants the moment he had left the house.

You could obviously tell what Kouji had on his mind, and he wasn't surprised. Kazahaya was, for lack of a better word, beautiful. His feminine features would surely turn any man on, straight or gay. He was lean but not to the point where you could see no muscle tone, he was definitely a lot stronger than you could probably give him credit for.

Lou traced his free hand over the slightly toned abdomen reveling in the fact the boy had such smooth, velvety skin. It was pleasurable to touch. He trailed his hand down further, gently stroking over Kazahaya's thigh, pushing his legs apart slightly.

"You're straining." He said, stating the obvious. Though when his hand kept moving like that, he wouldn't be surprised if Kazahaya came at any moment.

Kazahaya was gripping the sheets below himself tightly in either hand; he thrust his hips up into every stroke, the action concentrating small waves of pleasure with each movement, "Lou…"

Lou was still lightly biting and sucking at the flesh on Kazahaya's neck, latching himself onto the spot right below the brunette's pulse, he kissed it lightly feeling the psychic's heart rate increase for just a moment, he smirked, teasing over Kazahaya's inner thigh, "I know, just come, okay?"

Kazahaya didn't need to be told twice, and with only a few more quick strokes he was crying out his release right into Lou's hand.

Lou smirked feeling quite satisfied with himself, he released the brunette's shaft bringing his hand up to his lips, darting his tongue out precariously. Kazahaya caught his breath a moment later releasing his hold on the sheets, his eyes following the slow movements of Lou's tongue over his own hand.

The black-haired man smirked again, cocking an eyebrow. He noticed for a moment the psychic was already hard again, and briefly wondered what Kouji had given him. He then leaned down, Kazahaya wrapping his arms around the man's neck almost instantly; Lou's lips were on the brunette's in an instant almost immediately slipping his tongue past giving Kazahaya a taste of himself.

Lou slightly pushed back Kazahaya's leg, moving his hand down to almost enter Kazahaya, but the brunette broke off the kiss suddenly, "No…"

Lou looked at him curiously almost questioning before Kazahaya shook his head slightly, "He already…did that."

Come to think of it that was that part where Lou had walked in on; "In that case," He moved his still partially slick hand to his own need, coating himself slightly, "Actually…that's not a good idea."

Kazahaya watched Lou look around slightly, "Ah," spotting his – and luckily he had though to leave that there, too as an afterthought – his wallet on the side table. "Yeah, sorry…" Lou said, after a second, flipping it open. He scanned the slots with his fingers, retrieving a condom from the 4th one in.

He had a few in there, he just wasn't really sure we he had placed them most of the time; they shouldn't be that difficult to locate, either. His wallet wasn't all that big, and he barely had anything in there aside from a few cards, a debit card, and ATM card, a few photos, and money in the big slot. If anything the condoms should be easily located, he'd have to empty it later on.

He smirked at Kazahaya, closing the wallet with one hand, holding the condom with his other hand and tearing it open with his teeth. (6)

He spit the top part off the side of the bed; Kazahaya plucked the wrapper out of his hand, "Good idea…"

Lou shrugged, "Is it really?"

Kazahaya silently nodded, leaning up to capture Lou's lips, pulling the condom out of its wrapper. Lou grabbed Kazahaya's wrist guiding him in the right direction placing a hand over the brunette's, and together they slowly slid it on. (7)

Lou pushed Kazahaya's legs open just a bit more, pulling the brunette close to himself. Kazahaya gasped in surprise shifting slightly as Lou positioned himself. Lou leaned forward a bit placing a hand on the bed beside the psychic to brace himself, grasping Kazahaya's thigh. He looked up once more, his necklace dangling inches above the pale skin, "Ready?" He asked softly.

Kazahaya nodded, inhaling slightly when Lou had begun to push forward, making a small gasping noise, "Ah…Lou…"

"Nn...Tight." He was almost pleasantly surprised at the tight, wet heat that was drawing him in. It was delectable, but damn if he didn't just want to thrust forward… and take the brown-haired boy below him until they both collapsed from exhaustion. Unfortunately, he had a little too much self-control for that, and in all honestly he didn't want to hurt Kazahaya…he actually felt a little bad he didn't have that much self-control and found himself in an extremely pleasurable situation with the other. Little he could do about his libido; on the other hand, he could do something about his use of sheer force. Even that resolve was quickly crumbling.

But, Kazahaya was in need of help at the moment, and that's the only thing he could really do. He knew that and ignored the fact in some region of his mind…

And, maybe it was just a little bit of a bonus that he was incredibly turned on right now. God, who could really resist the brunette anyway? He was… beautiful, breathtaking even. The way he was writhing on the sheets was made all the more erotic by those teary eyes and pale hands gripping at the sheets. Lou pushed the thoughts away; if he got too carried away he probably wouldn't last too much longer.

Slowly he thrust his hips inching forward until he was fully inside, he gave Kazahaya the chance to adjust forcing himself to stop right there. "Sorry…does that hurt?" He asked taking in the way Kazahaya's breathing had hitched ever so slightly.

The psychic shook his head, shifting just a little, "A little…" Kazahaya released his grip on the sheets, wrapping his arms around Lou's neck. Lou accommodated him when Kazahaya sat up; releasing the leg he had continuously kept a hand on, letting the boy crawl into his lap. His arms went around Kazahaya's back, shifting and leaning forward just a bit.

"In that case…" Kazahaya buried his face in Lou's neck, releasing a delectable moan when he began to set a steady pace, already all too eager to move his hips to match each thrust. Lou's arm tightened ever so slightly around the brunette's waist, keeping at the pace he had set, still struggling with his decision not to take things too quickly. Even as he fought the idea, Kazahaya's request for "more" seconds later really did cracked all his resolve, and he couldn't help but nearly smirk. "Yeah…"

He pushed the boy back onto his back, finding himself looking down into incredibly alluring brown, lust-filled orbs, "Lou…" Kazahaya whispered, searching his face.

He leaned up, tossing the locket part of his necklace behind his back, pushing both of Kazahaya's legs further apart, "Sorry." He said in advance not leaving a space there for Kazahaya to reply before he already had a new position. He nearly pulled all the way out, thrusting back in hard, setting a rigorous pace.

Kazahaya arched his back, already clutching at the sheets again. Every thrust sent what could only be described as an electric shock up his spine; Lou was hitting that small cluster of nerves every time he thrust in.

Lou got Kazahaya off quickly with a combination of his hand and thrusting, still not satisfied with just that. He still wanted to explore every inch of the body below his. He pulled Kazahaya's hips closer to his, holding them there as he continued to drive into his willing body.

Changing his mind just as quickly he pulled out, surprising Kazahaya for a moment, "Turn onto your side a little…" He said, already intent on changing positions again.

It took a second for that to register in Kazahaya's mind, doing as he was told. "Good…that's good." Lou guided Kazahaya's leg over his shoulder, straddling the other and entering the boy just as quickly as before. At this angle he could penetrate deeper, which he did already beginning to thrust.

Kazahaya released a surprised gasp his orgasm hitting him quickly again not able to withstand the intense pleasure he was feeling. That, however, didn't stop him from coming back from the release.

Lou came after a few more thrusts, Kazahaya's inner walls clamping down hard around his cock…he wasn't able to hang on much longer after that. He released Kazahaya's leg, pulling out and turning him back onto his back. Kazahaya reached up and drew Lou close to him, "Mmn… you're hard again." Lou stated, smirking slightly.

"Yeah…" Kazahaya breathed, taking a second to catch his breath, "So are you…" he replied, feeling the hardness pressing into his leg.

Lou reached in between them taking a hold of the brunette's shaft, pumping him slowly. He kissed Kazahaya's neck, darting his tongue out to taste the pale flesh, "You're making this difficult for me…" Lou said, already wanting to go another couple of rounds with the brunette.

"Uh-huh…" Kazahaya barely nodded, the hand stroking him so delectably already enough to send his mind elsewhere.

Lou replaced where his cock had once been, inserting his fingers into the psychic. Expertly he found Kazahaya's sweet spot again stroking his fingers over it. Kazahaya arched his body into Lou's crying out; his hips simultaneously bucked up into the hand that tortured him sweetly, "Ah…Lou…! I want you again…"

"Shit…" Lou pulled his fingers free, groping for a different condom exchanging the… other one for a new one in a matter of seconds. He released Kazahaya's shaft for only a moment, enough time to get the condom on and spread the boy's legs again.

"God… you're beautiful…" he stated, taking a moment to drink in the delectably wonderful sight below him.

Kazahaya blushed a bit, averting his gaze, being looked at like that was both arousing and embarrassing, "Lou…"

The pleading voice sort of knocked him out of his reprieve, "Got it," and he was already well on his way to taking the boy again…entering him swiftly Kazahaya arched his back his hands already finding their way into the sheets, holding onto them tightly a slightly pained cry leaving his mouth.

Pain, however, soon turned into pleasure and those cries changed their turn into sweet bliss-filled ones.

"Shit, it's going to ring…" Lou said suddenly. Kazahaya looked up at him a confused look filling his eyes. Lou slowed his pace, lust having given way to annoyance…he reached over grabbing his phone off the night side table where he had tossed it, and with good reason apparently, because just as he had said the phone started to ring.

Kazahaya almost bothered to ask how he knew, his mind blanking when Lou brushed up against his sweet spot again. Lou gave a satisfied smirk, flipping the phone open, "Go ahead," he said using his free hand to gently caress over Kazahaya's hardness.

A surprised gasp left Kazahaya's lips, a hand darting up to his mouth seconds later, "Lou…" he whispered doing his best to control himself given the circumstances…god only knew who could be on the other line. Not intending to have his cell phone ring, Lou shifted slightly over Kazahaya, the small thrusts continuing.

"I'm…working, what is it you need?" He asked the caller, an annoyed huff added in for effect. Lou didn't care about some mundane phone call, but he wouldn't have answered it, or left his phone on, had he not expected something of the sorts. Work was always a pain… if he didn't answer it; well… that was a different matter. "Repercussions" was such a nice word compared to what hell that would be. "…Where do you think I am?" He asked the caller in a very mono-tone, uninterested voice, "Yes, Kouji's house." He paused, leaning down to nip at Kazahaya's neck and collar bone. The boy made a small noise of approval, "If you'd like someone to tame one of your girls, ask someone else. I'm busy…and unless Alexander was to ask me to return now, I don't think you have a leg to stand on threatening me. Now, if you're quite finished calling people for no good reasons…take it up with Kouji, I'm sure he's around there somewhere. Deal with it until I get back." He rolled his eyes hanging up his phone, tossing it back down onto the table. "Hmm…sorry about that, where were we?" He asked seductively, including all business affairs, work-related issues, and shitty phone calls in the "kill" pile.

Kazahaya shook his head, moving his hand away from his own mouth, exhaling softly, "Important?" He asked, sitting up slightly, pushing Lou back with him.

Lou smirked, pulling Kazahaya's hips towards him, driving into the brunette hard, "Not likely, but I suppose I don't have a choice but to answer regarding matters with…them." Them being higher-ups, bosses of his boss…painted quite a vivid picture of disdain in his mind, and as far as he was concerned if he didn't stay here then there would be even more hell to pay in the long-run.

"Good, then let's finish…" Kazahaya replied, wrapping his arms around Kouji's neck pulling the man down on top of him,

Lou was more than happy to oblige.

"You're not hurt, are you?" Lou asked, looking over at Kazahaya who had rolled onto his stomach seconds earlier.

He shook his head tiredly, "No."

"Ah, good…" Lou replied, having already thrown his boxers back on. They'd gone another couple of rounds and when Lou was satisfied that the drug had finally made its way though and out of Kazahaya's system he'd put a stop to their fun and games. Besides, sex of that caliber was… tiring, dammit.

Kazahaya sighed lightly, closing his eyes, "Damn… my head hurts," he smirked, "Let's not do that again for a while."

Lou nearly rolled his eyes at the irony, "Right, well, I'll have to keep that in mind." He kept in mind the fact they probably shouldn't have been playing grab-ass in the first place now or anytime in the future, but he supposed that was really inevitable…there was only so much self-control to go around. "Oh shit." Lou exclaimed, making Kazahaya crack his eyes open again to glance over

"Hmm?"

"I…left a mark on your neck."

"Really?" Kazahaya didn't seem too worried about it, Kouji had probably left a few before so what was one more… "You sure that one's yours?" He asked with a slight smirk, finding it more ironic than anything else.

"…Good point, I suppose." Lou sighed, running a hand through his hair.

"Just calm down, okay?" Kazahaya said, sitting up, "It'll be fine. If you start worrying then I will, and I'd rather like to not…break an arm or two today, y'know? Less obvious, incognito, all that good stuff."

"Right, right." That said and done, Lou still couldn't help but worry in the least bit, that man really had no limit to his rage, and though he tolerated it, he still also… didn't want to break and arm or something far worse.

"So, hows about we shower, and clean up here… I'll make you something to eat if you'd like." Kazahaya said, gesturing to quite the mess they'd made in the past hour or so.

"Not a good idea, the shower I mean, not the cleaning, that'll have to wait I think."

"Well…alright then." Kazahaya slid off the bed, cradling his head lightly disappearing into the bathroom seconds later. Lou sighed again, both relieved and not at the same time… he was glad he could help Kazahaya, but regretted doing so fearing for his safety. If Kouji ever found out that he'd violated his play-thing it was the gallows for him for sure, and Kazahaya would never live that down. He didn't like how that scenario was playing out in his head.

Kazahaya showered and came back fully dressed in something else; stifling a yawn as he lazily towel dried his hair. "C'mere." Lou said, motioning Kazahaya towards himself. He padded across the room and took a seat where Lou had patted the bed; the raven took the towel from Kazahaya, properly drying his hair for him.

Kazahaya waited patiently until Lou was done figuring their awkward silence had to be broken somehow; "Hey…" he began, stopping when Lou immediately pulled the towel away focusing his attention, "…Well, thanks…"

Lou cocked an eyebrow, shrugging slightly, "Sure, I guess."

"No, I mean—"

"—Yeah…" Lou said quietly, already getting the gist, "Don't mention it, really."

Kazahaya sighed, "That's a bit unreasonable, don't you think?"

"How so?"

"Well….I really mean it, Lou. So, please don't just brush it off. You're…a lot kinder to me than I had ever really expected."

Lou smirked, "Does that mean I'm lookin' like someone not to be trusted?"

"No." Kazahaya fervently shook his head, "That's not what I meant. Isn't it natural to mis-trust someone you don't really know anyway?"

Lou shrugged, "Touché."

Kazahaya took the towel back, tossing it into a hamper across the room, he'd have to get up and do laundry shortly if they really wanted to… cover up this escapade.

"I have a question." Lou said, pushing some hair away from his face, turning rather serious all of a sudden.

Kazahaya nodded, turning his attention back to Lou, "Yes, what is it?" Kazahaya asked, patiently waiting for a reply.

"…Which…one were you given this time?" He asked, making that as vague as possible for Kazahaya.

"What?" Kazahaya asked confusion evident on his face.

"I guess I should re-phrase that. Which of the three stimulants were you given?"

Drugs, Kazahaya, he meant the drugs…what did you receive, "…Uhm," Kazahaya thought back to right before he started feeling…it, "It was a lubricant…" He replied, a slight blush creeping up on his cheeks again.

"Two down one to go… I don't want you to have to experience the third." Lou sighed, shaking his head, why did Kouji have to make this impossible? If he knew the man well enough, Kazahaya would probably be given the third in only a matter of time.

"What are you talking about…?"

Lou sighed running a hand through his hair again, "The organization that…both that man and myself are working for is huge in the drug syndication business. By that I'm talking about cocaine, heroin, you name it they've probably sold it to your local junkie. Or, at the very least, gotten him addicted to it." He shrugged, "In that sense, they're also big on another kind of drug, if you're catching my drift: Date rape. That goes without sayin' that yer in for a surprise, and it's not a good one."

Kazahaya nodded to show he was listening, wondering where this whole thing was going.

Lou continued, "They've got three kinds: Love me and forget… the more willing kind, and the addictive kind. The first you had that day at the hospital, which I'm going to apologize for now because orders are orders y'know, in the soda can. It goes through your system after you wake up from the initial passing out and takes hold of all your senses…but leaves without so much as a trace to both the body and the mind. It has a special effect where forgetting is key, maybe if you want to…I don't know, rape someone but make sure they can't go and squeal on you afterwards. The plant they use for that…while the effect of the drug is mildly interesting, it also has a side-effect, and you were probably feeling none too good the next day… in need of a few pain-killers kind of "not good", right?"

Kazahaya did remember something along the lines of a headache, intense headache, amongst other things, "Go on…" Though he hesitated to hear the rest of this.

"…The second, which you were given a while ago, was manufactured and sold in special circles….probably at their brothel, as a lubricant. You might just feel a bit of a headache, but that'll subside shortly." Lou paused, really hesitating to mention the last one.

Kazahaya on the other hand couldn't let him stop now, "Lou…" he chided, gently pressing the other man to continue on with his break down of things, "What's the last one…"

"Usually…" He began, averting his gaze, "That's not really… given to anyone but the prostitutes…I don't think they've even sold it to the public, it might just be a matter of control."

Kazahaya blinked, "Why…not?"

"It's a small white pill, and, it's…horrible." He bit his lip, "It acts like a normal sex drug, you can get it up, and everything…I think probably some of the customers must take the safer version of it, just for fun, yeah? Well…some of it is laced with high-grade cocaine, and it's not really noticeable at first, until you start wondering how long it's been since you've last had one, and what you'll do to get another…It's control, you know? Because, otherwise, how are they supposed to keep obedient pets for everyone to enjoy…?" Lou paused, "Don't let them… do that to you, Kazahaya. No matter what, promise me you'll ask for them to give you something less lethal. I don't… know how long you'd last."

Kazahaya remained quiet for a long while, reaching over and touching Lou's shoulder, pulling the other man into a light embrace, "I'll try." He smirked, "How about we try not to dwell on such things now? And, when the time comes, I'll figure something out. You should probably be on your toes as well, right?"

Lou pushed Kazahaya back at an arm's length, nodding, "Gotcha."

Kazahaya smiled, "Good." He released Lou, getting up from the bed, "You should go shower now, I'm going to clean up here and do some laundry, there are towels in the bathroom…feel free to use them.

Lou nodded, getting up, "Hey…" He said turning to the brunette.

Kazahaya looked up at Lou, "Yeah?"

"I know…Rikuou will come for you."

Kazahaya didn't know what to say for a moment, caught off-guard by the sudden sentiment, "I—thank you, but, I hope he knows better."

Lou smirked, heading off to the bathroom, "Are you sure you want to say that? He'd do anythin' for ya, kiddo." He didn't give Kazahaya a chance to reply, disappearing behind the bathroom door.

"Geez…" Kazahaya shook his head, intending to make this place look presentable before his highness came home.

TBC…

Anyone remember in the manga when Kazahaya woke up in Rikuou's room? If you look… for a moment while Rikuou is getting into bed, I think, they show his lamp… it's small, and metal, and looks like it belongs on a desk, lol.

Lame! I know. But, remember…Kazahaya's name has the character for "wind" in it. ;D

Ew! Haha, but that would totally explain it, right? Not likely~ all will be revealed, I have a pretty damn good explanation, too. Just you wait!

Like at Burger King!

I'm sorry, it's been far too long, I don't remember what this parenthetical citation thingie was supposed to be for haha.

Kinda sexy, right? And in a hurry. Take the time to open our condoms, kids! Lest ye wanna risk a-tearing it asunder! Lol

Can we all have a round of yum, in one harmonic, unionized "Mmm 3" ? Haha.
