Chapter 7 - Back to abnormal
A/N: Hello all again I hope you have been enjoying my story so far. That was chapter was really fun getting into my first big gun fight scene I hope it seemed good to you all.
Rock reached into his back pocket for his pack of cigarettes. He shook the pack until two were poking out. He picked them both out his teeth, his other hand was steering the Zodiac, then lit them both up. He then passed one to Revy who was sitting next to him.
They were about half way back to the boat. Behind them they could still hear the sounds other the men on the research boat scrambling around since they were not sure if they were still under attack. Since the rear lights had been shot they could not see the small black motorboat moving or the torpedo boat off in the distance.
Sarah and Hideki were sitting at the front of the boat. They boat seemed to be doing better now that they had a chance to catch their breath's, but were still a little shaken the whole night's event. Shino was curled up in the center of the small boat practically trembling; she was terrified of the water since she didn't know how to swim.
"Hey Dutch what do you want to do about the rest of those fuckers still alive on the boat?" Revy said speaking into her mic.
In the distance they could make out the boat in the moonlight. Near the top they could see a low orange light that was Dutch's cigarette, when he took a drag it seemed to wink at them.
"Well since we've completed out job I suppose we could just let them go, what do your think Rock?" he asked.
Since Rock was the one who had been briefed by Balalaika earlier today, Dutch figured he would know what she might want of these guys.
Rock thought back to when he had been on the boat, of the people he had seen looked like regular mercenaries, but they might be able to shed some light on who had hired them, "You think we might be able to disable their boat, then Balalaika could then try to find out who hired them" he said into his mic.
"Sounds like a good idea to me Rock. Benny boy can you work your magic on this so we don't have to put in a hole in their boat?" he asked.
"It would be my pleasure Dutch, those research type ships have a lot of equipment on board, I'll hack into it and plant a virus to keep 'em from moving for a little while" he answered.
"Alright I'll get back to the controls and call her to come to collect her catch of the day. Rock you can put our guest's in the cabin when you get back aboard" he said before tossing his cigarette butt away and heading back inside.
Revy took her earpiece out and slipped it into her back pocket "nice job today partner" she said grinning at Rock.
Rock smiled back then he looked to the others "we'll be back on our boat soon and you can relax in the cabin until we get back to Roanapur" he told them.
The three of them looked from between Rock to Revy, there could not believe how moments ago they had been shooting their way through the men who had kidnapped them, and now they seemed so calm.
A few minutes later they reached the boat. Rock killed the engine the stood up and held onto the rail so the current would not make them drift away. Shino and his parents quickly climbed up onto the deck. Revy then walked past and patted him on the shoulder before jumping aboard. Rock then climbed aboard but held onto a rope attached to the Zodiac, it was meant for him to pull it out of the water. Revy opened the large hatch in the middle of the bow of the boat, this was the hatch above the main cargo hold meant for big shipments that would require a crane to load or unload. Revy lifted the door open enough for Rock to slip the Zodiac inside; it was easier then manoeuvring though the ship with it.
Rock turned to find the others had not gone inside since they had never been on this kind of boat before.
"I'll go get take them inside" he said to Revy
Revy looked over at their passengers "you might wanna get them something to drink too before they have a complete fucking breakdown" she said chuckling.
Rock snorted "good idea" he said walking towards his parents and Shino. "Follow me" he said to them. He and Revy then led the way going down the door that led down some steps into the control room. Dutch was back at the controls. He turned around in his chair when they all got inside.
"Welcome aboard my boat the Black Lagoon, we'll he heading back to Roanapur shortly so sit back and enjoy the ride" he said. His tone of voice was friendly, but it was more likely he was trying to be funny considering what kind of night they had.
Rock and Revy found it hard not to grin at their boss's bit humour. He grabbed a couple beers from the cooler in the bottom of the storage closet and told his parents and Shino to follow him. Revy went to get cleaned up in the bathroom
Once they were in the cabin he gave each of them a beer "you can rest here, we'll be back in the city shortly, we'll find you a place to stay and make arrangements in the mourning, I can't say for sure yet but you might have to go on an extended vacation" he explained.
Shino then stood up and walked towards him "why would we do that?" she asked.
"My friends and I have been pulled into something and there are some bad people who have us in their sights. They sent you that letter you thought was from me, it was a trap to get me to back to Japan so then I could be their bait for the others their also after" he said calmly explaining things to them.
"Why the fuck didn't you tell us!" she yelled. The others all heard her yell, but decided it would be best not to interrupt and let Rock handle this
"I was hoping if I pretended I didn't know, and said no to going back they would not bother with you anymore since their plan didn't work" he said calmly he expected angry responses.
"That guy back at the bar said there only supposed to watch things and probably capture me if I went back to Japan. He said he was taking things into his own hands, which is why all of this happened. I'm sorry" he said.
Shino walked up to him and slapped him right across the face. The blow didn't really hurt, Revy hit much harder, but it was a shock still.
"You're sorry? What the fuck is that supposed to mean to me! You let us come here knowing were being used in some kind of gang war, and then because of you we were taken hostage and nearly killed! Now your telling us we may still be in danger and have to leaved our homes and jobs!" she yelled at him.
Revy was now standing just off to the side of the open door. She was becoming very pissed of with this bitch's ranting, it was a good thing she had taken off her cutlasses and left them in her room.
"How can you even stand there looking so calm, you shot that man at the bar, and you've just come back from killing those men with that devil woman, you looked almost like she did. You were like a monster!" she yelled.
Rock face remained expressionless, he looked over to his parents sitting together. He couldn't tell if they agreed with what Shino had said but they did look troubled.
"I'm sorry" he said again. Then he turned and left the cabin heading for the ladder to the control room, he didn't notice Revy as he passed by. Benny was sitting at his computer when Rock passed him and climbed the ladder, he wanted to say something comforting but now was no the time.
Dutch heard the hatch opened and could tell it was Rock "Benny just finished with the virus we'll be heading back now" he said
Rock looked up "alright, I think I'll go up top for a smoke" he said in a low voice
Just as he turned to go up the steps to the door Dutch spoke again "Rock. For what's its worth, I'm sorry things happened this way, but you did the right thing out there today" He said.
"Thanks Dutch" he said as he climbed the ladder and closed the hatch behind him.
Dutch saw him legs cross the windows at the front of the control room, he must had sat down just off to the side of the window.
Revy climbed up the hatch and stood there looking both pissed and a little confused.
"I don't even have to turn around to guess what's on your mind Revy" Dutch said
"He said they stopped really caring about him for long time I just don't get why that got to him so much" she said, she looked out the window even though she couldn't see him, she really wanted to punch that ungrateful bitch but right now she was worried about him.
"I'm sure Rock knows they don't really mean it, they've led soft lives and never had to do anything real for themselves, they don't know what our world is like. I'll bet deep down Rock still cares about them and that's what makes it hard to hear, it's not easy to think that your own family would think you're a monster, especially when you've just risked your life to save them" he explained.
Revy was starting to understand. She had never had a family in the same sense as Rock had, so she couldn't understand at first how hard it could be to think of someone you loved looking at you like a monster.
Revy then grabbed a couple beers from the cooler, "I'm gonna go check on him" she said exiting through the hatch.
Dutch grinned then he picked up the satellite phone to call Balalaika to update her on the situation.
Outside Rock was sitting down leaning against the outside wall of the control room. He had a cigarette lit but he was smoking it rather slowly it almost lost its spark in the cool wind.
He then heard approaching footsteps then he saw a beer being dangled in front of his face. He looked up to see Revy grinning down at him
"Hey thought you could use one. It pretty cold out to" she said as she handed him the beer then sat down right next to him.
Rock suddenly realised it was a little cold out, he was glad Revy was here next to him.
"Do you think it might be true Revy? Could I be a monster?" he asked.
Revy looked at him at saw the sad look in his eyes, she knew that was a load of bull shit.
Revy then smack Rock on the forehead, not to hurt but with enough force to snap him out of it.
"Oww" he said
"You dumbass" she said thought not with any irritation or annoyance in her voice
Rock looked up at her.
"Why the fuck should you believe anything that bitch said. What does she know, she's just some wimpy bitch who would have pissed her panties before she even tried to do anything for herself. Besides ask yourself this if you really were what she said would you have gone to rescue her and your folks. Yes you did kill some people to do it but that doesn't make you a monster, you never took any pleasure in killing, it was them or you but that was it." she said, then paused for a moment "and don't start thinking 'but what If I change' that's a load of bullshit. Remember what you said, you picked up those guns because of what you want to protect, me, Dutch, Benny. I know, you've got that darker side to you know but its only evil if you use it that way, you've got good reasons. Your still you and that's not gonna change any-fucking-time soon" she said making her argument clear.
Rock smiled and leaned over to kiss her on the cheek, "thanks Revy" he said.
She turned a little red "anytime Rocky baby" she then said. Then in a surprising display of affection Revy put her arm around his shoulder and leaned into him "it's cold out" she said.
Rock smiled "ya it is" he said.
They both sat there for a few minutes enjoying each other's company.
Once they finished their beers Revy stood up "let's go back inside Benny said he would fix us something to eat" she said giving him a hand up. Rock nodded. They then both headed back inside.
Benny was handing Dutch a cup of instant Ramen, when they got back into the control room. He then passed a cup to both of them.
"Sorry about that guys, I know you've wanted to hear about what's going on" he said.
The others all grinned but said nothing about his unneeded apologies.
"No worries Rock, we got some time so what did Balalaika have to say, and what happened at the bar tonight?" he asked.
Rock then explained to them all about how that Yuri guy they met was trying to usurp then control of Roanapur from the Balalaika, Chang and the other leading Mafia heads. Yuri was also a former member of the Vissotoniki and fought in the soviet war in Afghanistan which made him dangerous since he knew how her military mind worked. He briefly mentioned how the Verrocchio family was interested in revenge on Balalaika for beating them to their vengeance against those vampire twins. Members of the Triads were also with him some of them wanting Mr. Chang out of the picture.
The next big part was how the main group behind this consisted of a small circle that each had reasons either revenge, ambition, or both which is why they were working together. They knew that Yuri wanted Fry-Face and Chang Buried. The unknown weapons provider in the states, who was been supplying them by way of the Italian mafia who had a strong establishment there. Then he got to the money sponsor, from what Balalaika had told him this one was after revenge against her and the Lagoon Company. It was thanks to this very wealthy sponsor Yuri was able to hide himself and him comrades from even the reach of Balalaika and Chang. Their current advantage was that since they had to stay hidden their preparations would take some time to be ready a month of two.
The others all listened to Rock intently "hm well shit and the top boss's of Hotel Moscow are just gonna let them fight over who gets to keep the throne of Roanapur?" he asked though he already knew the answer.
"Ya since the outcome don't affect them it's the same with the Triads" Rock said.
Revy, who had been sitting next to him on crate, spoke "well that makes one thing easier, no having to ask nicely for permission shit, Fry Face, an Chang can crush them" she said which did make sense to the others.
"That Yuri guy though knows how Balalaika would operate though, and he's gotten a lot of support behind him" Benny pointed out.
"So tell me, what happened when you got to the Yellow Flag tonight Rock?" Dutch asked wanting to hear the rest of the story.
Rock explained reaching the bar and noticed those two men walking in pegging them for enemies due to one of them wearing a Japanese tailored suit -"heh not bad Rock you are getting better at this" Revy- but at time still figured they were just tailing him. He didn't go much into his conversation in the booth with his parents and Shino.
He then got to the part about his face off with the two men both of them had been surprised to find Rock armed, he went over their conversation in the parking lot where he learned that Balalaika had been correct and his parents had been the bait to get him back to Japan where he in turn would be bait for the rest of lagoon, and by extension the other mafia heads. He was heard about the rest of them coming under attack and having to shoot his way out to get to them -"wow a shoot out involving a member of the Lagoon company that did not damage the bar, that's a first" Benny- to his rush back to the office. They knew the rest from there.
"So that's what happened" he said.
Dutch nodded "Thanks for the update Rock. Gotta say that was quick thinking on your part"
Just then the Satellite phone began to ring.
"That's probably Balalaika, I filled her in on our part and she said she would get back to me if something came up" He said as he hooked the Phone into their Radio so this way they could all hear her talk.
"So nice of you to call back so soon Balalaika" he said
"I wanted to let you know we've dispatched a team to collect the boat you've caught for us, but we've encountered a problem, you said you were involved in some shooting in front of your office earlier this evening correct?" she asked.
"That's right" Dutch answered.
"well it would appear they were smarter then they looked, the area was cleaned up before we got there, bodies, guns, anything that led to who they might have worked for" they could hear the slight annoyance in her voice.
Rock walked forward towards the phone "Miss Balalaika, did that already take care of the one behind the Yellow Flag?" he asked
For a moment there was no response, "we had heard there had been some kind of gun play in that area but I was not under the impression it was connected, from what we know Watsup arrived on the scene and had body shipped off to the morgue for investigation. I take it Rock you had something to do with it?" she asked.
"Yes he was with the guys who attacked us tonight. It was after that, I got back to the office and I'm sure Dutch filled you in on what's happened since that point" he explained
"I see, thank you Rock. Dutch I'm sure you and the others must be quite exhausted from the night's festivities, but I would like to hear Rock's report on the matter, and to repay his hard work discuss the situation concerning those new clients of yours. I'll wait for you at your office" she said. Then the line went dead.
Dutch unhooked the phone "well that takes care of that. We'll be back in about an hour and a half from now" he said.
Revy then stood up "come on Rock better give the boys a cleaning, and we can keep an eye on the cargo" she said.
Rock smiled and nodded, thanks to Revy's encouragement he wasn't worried about facing them again. Plus the cabin was the best spot to look after their weapons.
They found Shino and the other much the same as they had left them. Shino was now sitting on the cabin bench with her knees hugging her chest. Sarah and Hideki were both sitting next to each other, both of them had started drinking their beers, they looked fairly tired.
Rock didn't see any need to say anything to them until they got back to Roanapur. He and Revy and Revy both sat down on the other bench. Both of them sitting sideways facing each other so they could disassemble, and clean their guns on the cushion of the bench.
"Rokuro" Sara said.
Rock and Revy looked up to find she was standing in front of them; her husband was standing next to her.
"Is something wrong?" Rock asked, he reassembled his guns then slipped them back into their holsters.
For a moment his parents just stared as he handled the weapons.
"I.. We just wanted to say were very grateful for you and your friends coming to save us" she said.
"Your mother and I want to know something though is what we were told about your company the truth?" Hideki asked.
Rock lit up another smoke before he answered "well we are a shipping company, but we take jobs now and then that may brush up against the law, to put food on the table" he said
"Then why are you wearing those guns?" Shino then asked looking at him from her spot on the bench.
"I have my reasons" he said.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean, you not the Rokuro I remember" she said.
"Will you stop with that! My name is Rock now, and I'm not different I just woke up from that life I had back in Japan" he said his temper rising again.
Revy looked at him, she knew that he didn't have to explain, they wouldn't understand even though tried to,she still felt a little sorry for him though. Revy wanted to start smacking them around, but it wasn't her place that bitch though she's a different story, wonder what happened between Rock and her I've never known him to be so quick to get pissed off at someone before.
"What do you mean by that you ungrateful-" his father began
"Oh don't start with that you barely even cared about my life, the minute I was a year late to get into college you just dismissed me as a failure" he said not yelling but still sounding angry.
"Well look at wear you are now, running with some thugs doing illegal work. The place you belong is with me and your parents and your job in Japan" she said in a kind of telling you what to do tone.
"We are you family why don't you listen" Sarah said
"Were doing what's best for you, how do you think this life makes us look" Hideki said
Rock sighed in exasperation, looking at his parents first "These people aren't thugs they have been more like a family to me then you even been, but all you care about is how would this make you look at your next cocktail party" he said in a low angry tone.
His parents looked like there were going to argue but did not know what to say.
Rock then turned to look at Shino "I thought I made it clear that we were done, you never cared or listened to me so long as I followed you around like a pet dog. The only reason that you're here now is because you're a control freak who can't accept that you lost your grip on something. The only thing you cared about was who was the next person you would be sucking up to, to get further up the chain, I was just to much of an idiot to not have ended things sooner" he said in the same low tone as when he'd spoken to his parents.
Shino seemed very shocked
She must have still been thinking she could still just say the word and he go back, she's a dumber bitch then she looks, Revy thought. Her eyes then shifted back to Rock, so he dumped her, damn that sure makes her look pathetic.
Shino walked up to him "How dare you, you were nothing without me, I was the best thing that ever happened to you. Where do you think you'll find some other woman who wants to be with you other then some hooker" she said angrily.
She did not know what kind of demonic energy she had just unleashed.
Revy stood up, thankfully she had removed her cutlasses and left them on the bench, and walked forward, "hey you fucking bitch!" she said getting ready to punch her, but Rock put up a hand to ask her to wait.
Shino then glared at her and spoke "and just how does this concern you, this is our conversation stay out of it" she said in her holier then thou tone.
Rock then grinned "well she is involved in this, your earlier question to be exact" he said.
Revy grinned devilishly at his innuendo.
Shino then looked from him to her a few times, and then the light finally seemed to hit her brain. She thought back to how he had gotten angry at the way they bashed her.
"You mean she is your..?" she said asked, her mind was having difficult digesting this information.
"Revy is my girlfriend" he said cheerfully.
Revy grinned at Shino again, but something about how he said that made her feel very happy, no one had thought of her like that before, anyone else would just think nice tits and tight ass. She knew Rock was different and she liked it.
His parents seemed to handling the news their son had for them liked a fish on dry land, it was difficult not to laugh.
"So you'd rather have this, this bitch over a successful and well connected businesswoman like me?" Shino asked trying to regain some dignity.
Rock laughed "I think the answer to that is pretty obvious, and you should be a little smarter about who you start branding a bitch" he said, it sounded like more of warning then a threat of some kind.
Rock then turned and decided to head back up to the control room.
Revy was about to follow, when she decided on something. She walked up to Shino and punched her square in the face dropping her like a stone, she then picked up guns and followed Rock.
"Feel better?" Rock asked, he was grinning but trying not chuckle
Revy on the other hand smiled happily "Fucking A, how about you?" she asked, as she lit up a smoke.
Rock shrugged "I knew someday it would have come to this, but ya I do feel better, he took another drag of the one he lit up a little earlier
In a few seconds later they were back in the control room, they each had a beer in their hands.
Rock was sitting on a crate and leaning back against the wall, he was feeling fairly tired, every since they had come back from the boat.
"Its normal after a pretty big gunfight" Revy said noticing his eyelids threatening to close. "your body was pumping adrenaline the whole time, now that its over you feel like dropping dead, you'll get more used to it after a while" she explained.
Rock nodded.
About another hour went by and soon enough they were seeing an all too familiar statue and city light line.
Soon enough they reached the dock at their boathouse. Dutch tied up the boat while the others headed for the car.
It was another tight squeeze into the car. Benny drove while Dutch and Revy rode up front. Rock sat in the back looking out his window, while Sarah sat in Hideki's lap and Shino sat in the middle though she was pressed tight against they couple next to her.
"Mr. Dutch I wish to discuss payment for your services in our rescue, I understand there are circumstances surrounding it, but you still deserve compensation for your efforts, and resources that went into this job" Hideki said in his formal business voice. He then continued "My offer is thirty thousand" he said.
Dutch lit up a cigarette, "deal, pleasure doing business with you" he said.
They arrived back at their office a few minutes later. There were two cars parked across the street from their office. They recognized them as Balalaika's so they weren't concerned.
They all got out of the car and headed upstairs.
When they got to the office they heard someone from inside speak "so does this make your fourth or fifth door to have shot through?" Balalaika said jokingly. She was sitting on one of the couches with a cigar in hand, Boris was standing behind her and a couple either men in suits were standing nearby
Dutch walked settled himself in his chair "I think its out fourth the last time it happened we just bought two to be ready for the next one" he said casually
Balalaika chuckled. She then looked up to nod to the others as they walked in.
Rock's parents and Shino looked very intimidating. It was easy at first glance, with Balalaika's burn marks, and the scar across Boris's face. Since Rock seemed so calm they assumed these were not harmful people, or rather they hoped.
"I take it these must be your guest's Rock?" she asked.
He nodded "Yes. You were correct about what you said earlier they were sent here as bait" he said he was about to continue not wanting to keep her waiting, but she held up a hand.
"While I appreciate the prompt report Rock, I think it would be best to see to the Civilians first they are guest to the city, and we do not want to come off as rude" she said smiling at her joke.
She then stood up and walked to stand in front of Rock's parents and Shino, "The name's Balalaika I'm a business associate of the lagoon company, I am certain you are all rather exhausted from the events of the evening. If you would follow my subordinates they will take you to a motel for you to get some rest "she said speaking in a polite business tone.
The three of them figured it would be best to just nod and go ahead. They were then lead out by the two men who had come with Balalaika.
Once they were gone Balalaika turned to look at Revy "My two-hands I must say I am surprised to find that young woman in relatively good condition" she said chuckling
"Ya, ya whatever sis" she said in a slightly annoyed tone
She then went back to the couch "I can assure you Rock that none of this city's local pests will be bothering them tonight, in the mourning I am guessing you will escort them to the airport. Now please fill me in on what happened at the Yellow Flag this evening" she said.
Rock nodded and retold his story he had told the others a little earlier; spotting the two tailing him, having his confrontation in them in the parking lot, finding out his parents had been sent as a trap to get him to be the bait for the rest of them, and then his little bit of gunplay before speeding to the office. He knew she had been informed about the rest by Dutch.
Balalaika grinned "well Rock I must say in another time and place you might have done well in a military career. We did manage to recover the body that you mentioned and I recently received a report that the ship you crippled has been capture, the mercenaries on board put up a struggle, but we did capture some of them including their leader alive.
"So have you gotten the information on who the sponsor in Japan may be?" Dutch asked.
Balalaika frowned to signal her irritation "no we asked them. However they said they didn't know since their assignment was given to them by their businessmen boss, we did not find much in the way of evidence that could link to their employer, the boat appeared recently purchased and their weapons and gear was a wide assortment, and it's likely the corpse in the morgue will be the same. That man you spoke to may have been foolish in taking matters into his own hands and confirming that the wealthy sponsor is in Japan, but he made a tactical move in hiring those who would leave no evidence as to their specific identity." she explained
Dutch then leaned forward "How about the group stationed in Japan, have then been able to find out anything?" he asked.
Balalaika shook her head "They were still small in numbers and power and were waiting for more support to arrive, we yet to receive any additional contact since they said they had been skirmishing against some new enemy, they never did mention who they believed it was" she said.
Dutch leaned back "Any other information on what's been going on?"
Balalaika snuffed her cigar in an ash tray "Chang has currently left to begin an investigation into one of the other ring leader in the states. The Triads and the Italian's currently have some of the strongest establishments there, he said it would take time though as the Verrocchio family has been getting in the way there. As for Yuri we have nothing knew on him or his subordinates they are hiding skilfully, due to his knowledge of our past tactics. He is an annoying greedy little shit, but he's familiar with war" she said clearly not happy with her traitorous former comrade.
She lit up a new cigar before she spoke "it would also now appear that the money sponsor does have you all in his sights. At first I thought it was Rock, but the usage of his family was just convenient, and they believed him to be the weakest member of your group, quite a surprise there I'm sure "she said chuckling. She was referring to Rock's recent choice in carrying a gun.
"I hope this doesn't mean your going to ask us to hide somewhere Miss Balalaika. We are still a delivery company and don't want these fuckers to think they can scare us" Dutch said.
"Well said Dutch. No I won't ask you to hide, you may carry on as normal. I may occasionally ask for a job from you concerning this situation, and also I would advise that on any future jobs if you get a hint it connected to the Japanese in anyway you may not want to take it" She warned.
Dutch nodded following her thinking "Since that guy Rock met had screwed up, he may try it again to keep his boss from making an example of him" he said.
"Correct, I don't think it will be likely. Since they have revealed themselves, they will be even more careful and stealthy so unless they're very stupid, they won't try anything till they are ready" she said.
"And how long do you think we have?" Dutch asked.
Balalaika thought for a moment "considering they had a rather small and only low-level skilled force tonight I would stay we are still looking at 2-3 months before they will be ready" she answered.
They all knew when it came to this she was the expert, they had this much time to relax before the shit hit the fan once again.
"Balalaika, do you think they may try using my parents again?" Rock asked.
She looked at him and thought for a moment "I'm willing to bet no. If that man in the suit doesn't report the confrontation you had with them in the bar. Then the fact that you don't go back with them to Japan after knowing what the enemy did would make it even more clear that they are of no us as a bargaining chip to get to you. That is how I would think, since these men are different I would suggest you tell them to leave the country for a short while until we resolve this" she suggested.
Balalaika then stood up and Boris put on her military greatcoat over her shoulders, "well I think that wraps up we needed to discuss. I'll let you all relax now. I'll keep you informed on the anything we discover as I'm sure you interested in this fight since you've bled it in already. Oh and Rock keep up the good work I must say your new found skill may come in very handy" she said as she let herself out.
For a few moments the gang didn't say anything most of them just taking a few breath's
"Well I gotta say we sure are neck deep in it this time" Dutch said casually.
"No shit" Benny said.
"Well these guys don't know who the fuck they think they are messing with. I can tell you one thing there in for a big surprise when they meet us, right Rock" she said grinning.
"Ya" he said grinning as well.
According to they clock above the door, the one thing in their office that had amazingly not been shot yet, it was past 11:00 p.m.
"Well I think I'll head on back down to the boat. I sure as hell know if I stay here I'll wake up with a hangover and don't want that will I do the much needed repair work tomorrow" he said getting up.
Benny also stood up "I'll go to Dutch I know your not a fan on working on electronics so I'll handle the Radio repairs, the parts are in the boathouse anyway" he said.
"Alright. Rock , Revy tomorrow we got a few errands need to be run, the list's on the kitchen counter, we'll leave there car here for you in the mourning" he said.
Rock nodded "no problem we'll take care of it" he said.
They both exited soon after. A few second later they heard the car start and drive away.
"Why did I just get the feeling they just decided to leave the place for us" Rock said sarcastically
Revy laughed "you got that too eh Rocky baby, Doesn't matter to me now how about that drink we never got around to" she said going to grab a bottle of Bacardi and a couple glasses. She came back and sat on the couch next to him. She poured some rum in a glass for each of them, and they each took one.
"To us" Rock said raising his glass
"Fucking A" Revy said grinning as she raised her own
About 45 minutes later.
Rock and Revy stumbled slightly drunkenly through the door, into Rock's apartment. They were locked in a very intense make out session, their tongue's in the midst of a wrestling match. Revy had her arms around Rock's neck her nails digging slightly into his back. Rock had his arms wrapped low around her waist his hands resting his slightly above her ass.
They had started out on the couch when Rock had against surprised Revy with his forwardness, she had highly pleased by this, they had gone on for about ten minutes. However without saying anything they both knew how bitchy Dutch might get if they were having sex in the office, so in a kind of awkward stumble they made they way to Rock's room. They were also not smashed drunk just a little tipsy, Revy also wanted to stay sober enough so she could really enjoy this, Rock also had similar sentiments.
The holsters were the first to go being set down on Rock's dinner table as they stumbled past still locked in their make out session. Rock also shrugged off his dark blue button up shirt as they did so
Once they got to the bed room it was the Rock let his hands explore a little.
Revy moaned loudly as she felt one of his hands go to work on her one of her breast will the other went south to rub her clit through her jeans. Revy could feel herself getting really wet, Rock was very skilled and getting her engine revving.
They broke off for a moment and both, Rock slipped a couple of his fingers from each hand under the bottom of her black tank, Revy lifted her arms up and shivered slightly with excitement as she slowly lifted it up and off. Revy then grabbed his and nearly ripped it off before he could get his arms up.
Their lips met again both of them making soft moans and hands once again began to explore and add to the heat they were both feeling between legs.
About a minute later they broke apart again. Rock went first again, he unbuckled Revy's belt and slipped it down, panties and all. Revy grinned hungrily then a loud moan as Rock bit down on one of her nipples when he was leaning down to lower her bottoms, her fingers got into his hair and pulled slightly from the level of pleasure she was feeling. When Rock stood up she met him crashing lips again with ferocity. Revy hand's then went to his belt and in a second it was undone and a second later his pants and boxers hit the flow, he then stepped out of them. Rock then pulled her against him and loved the feel of her body pressed against his, her warmth and scent, an intoxicating mix of sweat, sea water, and the shampoo she liked to use, were making him crazy. Revy was feeling the same thing, his slim muscular body felt so good to be near, and the hard dick pressing right against her wet pussy was making her just as crazy, she had to feel him insider and now. Her pounding her and rising temperature down there were all the signal she needed.
Revy broke then kiss then licked her lips hungrily "Ready baby" she said
Rock was breathing fast his hearting going a mile a minute "you know it" he said.
Revy then gave him a push to know him down onto the bed. She then crawled into the bed as he backed up slowly so they could be completely on. She was resting on her knees and hands above him still with a hungry grin on her face. She then straightened out still on her knees hovering just above him. Then she grabbed his hardened member and slide down onto him, causing them both to moan loudly. She slide down all the way then rested her hands on his chest.
She the lifted her hips up until just the tip was in then slide back down again. Revy continued to ride him gaining in speed and force of her thrusts, a minute latter Rock grabbed her by the hips so he could thrust up in time with her and using the strength in his arms pull down on her hips with the rhythm they had going.
"Oh fuuuck. Rock that feels so fucking good" she shouted throwing her head back moaning in pleasure.
Rock was memorized by the flex of her muscles as she moved and the sway of her breasts as she rode him, she was a goddess to him.
Revy looked down to see his look and loved it. She had had a good lay before but this was on a totally new level, the emotional connection made it all the sweet, and the fact he was pretty well equipped was a nice bonus as well.
Their pace and strength of thrust reached an almost frantic speed as they were both consumed by their loved making. A few minutes later they both felt the pressure rising but did not have to say a word as with one final thrust they both came while screaming each others names.
Revy collapsed on top of him breathing as If she'd just run a couple miles, the rush and thrill of this is was better then even the gunfights, with him it was off the scale. She rested her head on his chest and could hear his heart pumping.
Rock was amazed at how soft her warm skin felt. Then he grinned devilishly as he hand a surprise in store for her.
Revy felt his arms wrap around her, and then she felt him shift to his left a little then heavy onto his right rolling them over on the bed. He was now on top.
"Ready for round two" he said a little breathlessly. His hands grabbed hers and put them above her head pinning her.
Revy could not believe it, holy shit that's some stamina he's got, she had never before had two rounds in a row, and she was definitely going to enjoy this. She didn't answer but just smiled up at him and showed him the hunger still in her eyes.
Rock then re entered her. This caused Revy to scream out as she was very sensitive now down there having just climaxed once already.
Rock was in the same condition so he started out slowly it would go away in a few minutes. Each time he entered the pulled out though for those few minutes was pleasurable agony for the both of them.
Once they were both used to is thought Rock then began to go faster and harder, they both enjoyed a little of the rough stuff.
Revy wrapped her strong legs around him to pull him in deeper, and put her arms around his neck, her fingers digging into his back. They were both moaning and nearly screaming with pleasure as they were both on cloud nine from their love making.
After a short while they both began to feel the same pressure building up, it took a little longer to reach this level then the first round. When the time came though Revy pulled him down and, just as they climaxed again, kissed him with a lot of passion and heat.
They stay locked like that until the need for air caught up with them.
Rock then felt all the strength leave his arms. He pulled out her then fell onto the bed next to her, his arm lying protectively over her waist. Revy felt the saw the lights were starting to go out, she shifted her head to it rested against his. The last thing he did was grab a thin sheet to cover them.
"Fucking A" Rock managed to mumble.
"Got that right" Revy agreed.
About a second later their lights were out.
A/N: aww that was such a touching scene. Now I'm sure some of you were expecting Revy to go Whitman on Shino but have no fear she will get her chance as I will bring Shino back in the future. Anyway next chapter, or chapter and half the one after that are going to be a bit of a filler kind of deal. It so I can give some time for character progression I.e. Rock improving his skill with his guns, his relationship with Revy becoming deeper. And I want to do a few fun little things before the war begins. Hope you all enjoyed that big gunfight chapter and this little romance one. Stay Tuned : ).
