MissFenoSwede: I am so happy that you love the story! Believe it or not, but Kidd going to see Doflamingo was a spur of the moment thing! ;p I am glad that you are excited!
Shiina Yuki: You, Shiina-chan, are a girl after my own heart! I think we are on the same wave length when it comes to this story! :D I am a huge fangirl of hot , and musically gifted men, so I thought 'Why not?'
Nasika: Kidd has NO idea what he is getting himself into, but you and I know what kind of man Doffy is... Bwhaha! The songs are there for mostly Law's character, but they are also there to help with emphasis, I guess. I actually made that a last minute decision as well. *sheepish grin* I make a lot of last minute decisions... Anyway, the idea was first inspired a long time ago from when I read the Zosan fanfic 'Love Me Dead' by New Neon. That girl knows what she is writing! Well, I hope that you enjoy this chapter, and thank you for your review! XD

Chapter Six
Kidd had no idea where the heck he was. He had taken the first two lefts, then a right, and then the last left. Now he was in the middle of no where on a dirt road, motorcycle at least half a mile away stuck in some mud. It was like a slasher film, and as he walked further into the dark woods, like an idiot, he had to chant to him self that he was not going to run into any hill billy canabils, or any slaves traders looking for exotic red heads.
He had walked down the road for a few more minutes before he noticed the security camera pinned onto a tree. He let out a sigh of relief, and began to walk faster. He rounded the next bend on the dirt road, and almost cried out in joy at the sight of the huge house in front of him.
Eustass wasted no time going up to the door, and knocking loudly with the brass knocker.
'Wow,' he thought, craning his neck to get abetter look at the staggering height of the house, 'Law's family sure is loaded.'
The door opened seconds later, and revealed a pretty girl with dark hair and eyes in maroon maid outfit that Kidd was sure was not appropriate for a any woman to wear unless they planned on taking it off. Like, for dollars.
"Hello?" she asked, taking a drag of the cigarette that appeared suddenly between her lips.
The teacher coughed lightly as she blew the smoke right into his face, " I wish to speak with Don Quixote Doflamingo, if he is available. "
Kidd wasted no words, and the woman raised her delicate eyebrows in question.
"And if he is? Who is trying to call on the Young Master?"
As Kidd reached for his wallet, he noticed the woman stiffen, and seemingly grabb at something behind her back. Kidd presented his school I.D., and his liscense. "I am Eustass Kidd, and I teach Mr. Don Quixote's son, Law. I wish to have a word with him about Law."
The woman visibly relaxed, but still contemplated whether to let him in or not.
"Do you think that you could let him know that I am here, please?" he asked, starting to feel impatient.
The woman looked away from him for a moment, but when she looked back at him, he was startled to see a blush on her cheeks, and star shines in her eyes.
"D-Do you... need me?" she asked shyly, and peered at him through her thick eye lashes, and twirled a lock of dark curls around her finger.
"..." then, "Yes?"
The maid let out a strangled cry of... happiness? at his answer, and swung the door wide open, letting the man enter.
Kidd was told to wait in the foyer, and then the woman, who introduced herself as Baby Five, left him to himself in the huge room.
The teacher shrugged of the black blazer he had thrown on, and left the article on the back of a nearby chair. He stuck his hands in his pockets, and walked around, admiring the portraits on the walls. He noted that they were all blond, and that they all wore sometype of shaded eye wear. Hmm, weird.
Some where he heard the trickle of water, and the strong erge to pee came to Kidd. God, he really needed to go! Another five minutes passed, and by then Kidd was doing the 'Gotta Piss Real Bad' jig, and singing the 'Hurry Up For Christ Sake' chant of the damned. Fuck, he should've pissed in the woods, or something!
After almost ten minutes more, Kidd was seriously contemplating whipping his junk out right there in the foyer and doing his buisness in a plant potted urn, when the sound of foot steps echoed down the hall.
The maid was back, and smiled at him, before motioning him to follow her.
He strode after her, and was about to ask her for directions to the nearest bathroom, ASAP, when he heard a gasp, and felt a body tackle him into the next room. Kidd's assalant threw him the ground, and then the teacher heard the distinct click of a lock.
Kidd lept to his feet, snarling like an animal, when the person in front of him rushed toward him, and pinned him against a bookshelf.
"The fuck, Mr. Eustass-ya?!" an angry voiced asked as Kidd struggled to get himself loose.
He stopped when he heard the voice.
"Law?" he questioned, a little shocked, "What the hell are you doing? Get off!"
Law let go of him. He stepped back, and Kidd got a better look at the teen he had come to talk about. He was wearing a button down black shirt, and a pair of brand name Crimin jeans. His hair was covered by his usual white and black spotted hat, but his eyes held a look of fear in them.
" You shouldn't be here!" the teen hissed, glancing around the room as if he was afraid some one was listening.
He narrowed his eyes at the raven, ignoring his words.
"I still owe you for that punch, you damn brat!" Eustass growled, swinging.
His fist connected with the other man's cheek, and he was about to swing again when Law's hand grabbed his, and a scuffle for power ensued. Both men fought tooth and nail, but Eustass finally managed to get the dark haired teen under him by pinning him to the seat cushions of the only love seat in the room.
Sweet dripped down his face, and as he stared below at Trafalgar, the teacher saw that the teen's flushed and slightly bruised face indicated that he was tired as well.
"Now, explain to me what the fuck is your problem?!" Eustass demanded, but before Law could answer in anyway, the sound of heels caught his attention. He looed down at Law again, and saw the same primal fear in his gray eyes. Kidd cursed his luck before releasing the teen's arms.
He bolted immediatly to the door, threw the lock, and opened it to be face to face with Baby Five.
"H-Hello. Sorry. I really need to use the bathroom, and I thought that this was it. Opps, guess not." He smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly, and let the heat from his pale cheeks cover for him, feigning embarrassement. Then he looked sideways at the maid who was eying him with suspicion.
"Do you... think you can lead me to the bathroom?"
The woman let out another choked sound before taking him to the bathroom and telling him she would be right back.
Eustass sighed in relief as he turned to the urinal, but just as he was about to go, the doot slammed open and he yelped in a very unmanly and undignified way.
He looked over his shoulder and saw that it was Law. Embarrassment quickly turned into anger.
"GET THE FUCK OUT, YOU DAMN PERVERT!" The red head roared like a beast.
Law just blinked at him unflinching, then opened that smart ass mouth of his.
"You should get out of here, Mr. Eustass-ya.," was all he said before he slipped out of the bathroom, leaving Kidd blessedly alone.
Once he was sure that the teen was really gone, and secured the lock on the bathroom door, he was ready to finally take his long awaited piss. But once again he was interrupted by banging on the bathroom door. He jumped, startled again, but then calmed alittle as he hears the maids voice.
"Mr. Kidd," she called, sounding a little annoyed, "Are you almost done?"
Kidd gulped, then swore lividly in his head as he replied, "Yep! Just washing my hands," Son of a bitch!
Kidd excited the bathroom and then followed the maid down several hall ways before they stopped in front of a set of double doors. Baby motioned him to wait, and she politely knocked on the door, then paused for a few moments before opening them.
Whatever preconceived idea Eustass had of Doflamingo was thrown out the window as he now stared at the incredibly tall man with banana colored hair, hot pink cat eye sunglasses, and a pink feather coat.
"Fufufu, why hello, Mr. Kidd. What a pleasurable surprise to see someone like you in my humble home." The man said with mirth in his deep voice.
The blond man was lounging lazily on the plush red couch, and his mouth as he looked at Kidd was full of bone white teeth shaped into a predatory grin.
The red headed teacher approached the seated man cautiously. He now understood Law's warning; it felt like he had walked into a lions den.
"What do you mean, Mr. Don Quixote? " Kidd asked carefully, and stopped several feet from the couch.
The young man laughed. "Please, my father was Mr. Don Quixote, call me Doffy, and mean t what I said. It is for me to play host to such a renowned person as the leader singer and founder of the band The Kidd Pirates."
Eustass stiffened at Doflamingo's words. "I don't preform anymore," he said a little rudely.
Doffy waved a hand in dismissal. "Teh. Technicalities." He said, then leaned forward. "What I am really interested in is why you came to visit my home unannounced."
The man's tone was still pleasant, but his words held an underlying threat to Kidd.
Kidd squared off his shoulders, looked directly at the man infront of him, trying to ignore the menacing aura that was around him.
"Mr. Doflamingo," Kidd began, "I am here in concern to your son."
There was silence at his words, then Doflamingo's booming laugh.
"My son? Oh, you mean Law!" The man smiled, taking a glass of wine from a nearby tray. "Boy," he said addressing Kidd, "That squirt is not my son. He more like a adopted brother. He came into my family when he was baby. It was after his real parents died, along with his whole town, to a plague. Wine?" He added casually, holding out a glass of transparent alcohol to Kidd.
The younger man stood, frozen from Doffy's words, and almost missed replying, "No. No thank you."
Doflamingo shrugged, then sat forward. "Now, what has Law done? I know he went through a stage where there were teachers calling everyday because he was fighting everyone he could get hands on."
Kidd put his hands in his pockets, jiggling his leg. He shoke his head. "Sir, it's nothing like that. I have noticed... things about your brother."
The blond man raised an eye brow. 'Then what is it exactly, Mr. Kidd?"
The man seemed to be growing impatient, his posture tensing slightly. Kidd decided to lift the skirt, revealing the problem.
"I think Law is being abused and mistreated," he said bluntly, and looked the blond man in the face.
Immediately after the words left his mouth, he saw the feather wearing man tense visibly.
"What?" He asked, his voice was low and dangerous. It was feral like a beast.
Kidd raised his chin. "I have noticed in the last week and a half that something is going on with Law. He won't tell me what it is, but as a teacher and a human being, it is my duty to report anything suspicious. I have refrained so far from doing so, but if I find out you knew anything about it and didn't report it or if you are in fact CAUSING Law's pain-"
The red heads words were interrupted by Doflamingo standing so abruptly, it forced the couch back. His smile was gone now, and he was sneering at Kidd. The tension in the air was thick, and it got thicker as the man stalked over, closing the gap in a few strides with his long legs.
"I have never heard anyone talk to me like that and live to tell about it, so let me make sure we're clear: are you threatening me, boy?"
Kidd found himself backed against the wall, his knees lightly shaking. Doflamingo put his face to Kidd's, and it was close enough for him to see through the lenses of the tall blond's glasses.
Amber eyes met bright blue. He forced his body not to shake and bolt away as the older man raised a long fingered hand. He snapped his fingers sharply together, signalling to a big man with purple hair.
"Pica," Doffy comanded, "Take this kids ass out on the curb." He then turned away and strode through an adjoining door and into another room.
The burly man opened his mouth, and Kidd braced himself for the booming voice.
"Yes, Doffy," a high, soprano voice said.
Kidd looked around, confused. Who the hell had spoken? His eyes then went to the man called Pica. It took everything in him to keep a straight face as the man spoke again.
" Come on, squirt," his pitched voice rang, grabbing Kidd by the shirt, and practically lifting him off the floor.
Kidd was thrown out the door, and landed hard on his ass. By now he was fumming with anger.
'That bastard!' He thought venomously, and dusted himself off as he stood.
As he started to walk back down the long driveway and got back onto his bike, he got a strange feeling in his gut. At first he couldn't describe it, then he realized what it was : he still really needed to piss.
KLKLKLKLKLKLKL
Trafalgar was seething! That dumb bastard! Just what the hell was Kidd thinking, coming to see Doflamingo?! Why the hell was he he even at Dressrosa in the first place?
All those thoughts were going through Law's head as he paced back and forth length of his apartment.
Ace, who had forgiven him for the rude behavior that Law had displayed last week, layed lazily sprawled across the bed. He pooped the bubble of gum in his mouth loudly before saying,
"You know, Law, doing that isn't going to solve any of your problems. It'll just wear a hole in your floor," the raven's smirk was met by a glare.
Finally Law couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't do nothing, it would drive him crazy! Eustass-ya hadn't been in school at all yesterday, and he hadn't responded to anyone's emails. Damn it, he shouldn't have left Sunday until he knew that Kidd was safe. Not that Doflamingo would have killed him or anything like that, direct confrontations weren't Doffy's style unless it was used as a last resort, but he had to go see for himself if Kidd was alright.
"I'm going out for alittle while," he said roughly to Ace. "If you're gonna be here, then be useful and feed Bepo while I'm gone." He grabbed his favorite worn yellow and black hoodie, and pulled it over his head. He opened the door, but before he stepped out he turned to Ace one last time. "And no porn, got it?"
Ace held a hand to his chest. "I take offense to that!" He squawked in mock hurt, but his face was suggestive.
"Che. Last time I left you alone here, you blew through two hundred dollars worth of the stuff. I'm NOT paying for that again, so I repeat: no porn!" Then he closed the door loudly, leaving his friend to a -hopefully- porn free evening.
He walked briskly, and kept his face covered under the brim of his hat. He looked at the street names, deciding the quickest route to get across town, and choose the eastern route that cut behind the Red Line Hospital, up Enies Lobby, and down Water 7.
Glad that he had remembered the route that Kidd had taken when he had ridden home with him, Law made it to Kidd's apartment in record time. The raven felt his heart start to constrict as he got closer to the door, and as he raised his tattooed fingers to rap gently on the dark wood, Law felt pull of anxiety on his nerves.
Finally after a moment just standing there with his hand raised, he muttered, "Ah, to hell with it," and banged in three rapid taps before stepping back on the landing.
It took a few moments, but eventually, the door opened, and revealed a disheveled Eustass, his shaggy red hair wild, his eyes half lidded. Law sucked in a breath. Sweet Jesus, the teacher was so damn sexy. His gray eyes traveled briefly across the red heads chest, and took in the dark, and ragged scar that ran down his left side. His jeans hung low on his hips, and the v line that lead down and disappeared under neath them had his throat constricting.
He forced himself to meet the surprised amber eyes of the man in front of him.
"Eustass-ya, are you okay?" he asked in a rush, then looked away to hide a blush.
He felt Kidd look at him strangely. "'Okay'? Law, what the hell are you talking about?"
Trafalgar felt even more heat in his cheeks as he replied,with a throbbing heart, "From the other day. When you were-"
"Kidd!" a high voice said in annoyance, "Who the hell is it-oh," the voice dead panned, giving no indication that she knew Law.
The person who interrupted Law was no other then Jewelry Bonney. 'That bitch!' Trafalgar thought venomously. It was then he saw the red marks of lipstick, and fresh hickeys on the side of Kidd's neck and chest. There were even some scratches.
He gave Bonney a glare of death, then shoved his hands in his sweatshirt pocket, hands that were just moments before itching out to touch Kidd and his muscle sculpted body.
"Never mind," he snapped, and turning away, clenched his hands balled into fists beneath the soft fabric of his sweatshirt.
"Wait, Law-" the teacher began, sounding confused and angry. He gently grabbed at the teen, but missed as he avoided.
"Don't fucking touch me!" the raven said dangerously, refusing to look at Kidd and Bonney. "Sorry to have...interrupted you two," he then sneered, his gray eyes as cold as steel.
He adjusted the hood over his face again, and began to walk back the way he came, humiliated, and mad as hell.
As the younger man strode away he heard the the red head yell profanities at him, and then the door slam shut. The teen himself swore profusely, kicking up rock after rock along the graveled road.
Damn that shitty teacher! Law had been worried for days, wondering if Eustass-ya had been alright. He even decided to go in person to check on him, the ungreatful prick, even after the red head had punched him in the face, and what did he get in return?! The object of his fantasies going at it with his slut of a fiance!
The raven kicked viciously another rock, and sent it flying through some one's car window. The alarm began to chirp madly, signaling to it's owners of the vandalism. That was when Law booked it down the street, and hopped several fences before he stopped. He slumped against a building, sucking air harshly through his lungs, and denying that the pain he was feeling in his heart was from a certain red head, and his monster of a wife-to-be.
