Dawns early light kissed the staining, sweat slicked muscled bodies on the bed. Soft low moans filled the lavished furnishings of the large bedroom.

Raoul's passion glazed emerald eyes lovingly caressed the smooth lines of the almost pleasure/pain filled expressions on his redheads face. Golden eyes looked up at him almost pleadingly and his hand tightened on the wrists he held over his lovers shining flame red locks.

Pushing in deeper, slowly, he delighted in the gasping moans, crushing his mouth over satin ones, purring out a moan himself as Katze clenched around the hard length in him. His body shuttered in pleasure and he reach between their heaving bodies stroking Katze's pulsating member as he quickened his pace holding his own release back with inhuman control, control that was slowly slipping from him as he heard the strangling cries muffled by his mouth. Letting go of the delicate wrists he reached under and grabbed firm cheeks, lifting them higher up and almost desperately withdrawing to the tip and sinking back in repeatedly until he too cried out in ecstasy of release.

Rocking his hips Raoul didn't want to leave the hot haven of Katze's body. Silk legs caressed his sides as they unwrapped from around his hips and pale fingers smoothed gold, damp, long locks from his face.

“Good morning.' Raoul smiled down at the flushed face that as still recovering from his wake up call.

“My mornings have been very good since coming here.” Katze whispered his voice raspy from just waking up and from singing out his pleasure.

Raoul gave a smug grunt and withdrew reluctantly, rolling to his side and pulling Katze with him, tucking him into his side. Since the night of the party Katze stopped fighting him every time he wanted to be intimate with him but his need to establish dominance between them still had him holding him down. He found the act in doing so heightened the pleasure for him and he made sure it did with his little redhead. Tightening his arm around the slim body Raoul kissed Katze's damp forehead.  “My schedule is remarkably clear today.”

Katze shifted a little to get into a more comfortable spot in Raoul's' arms. “And the reason you cleared your schedule is? I know your time is in high demand so it must be important for you to have done that.”

 “Umm…I want to speak with Iason about something Riki said to me last night. I was going to wait until the both of you got back today and spend some time with Riki talking to him more then I did last night but decided it would be best to see Iason about this matter first.”

Katze tried not to panic there was no way Raoul had found out Riki's insane plan of finding Guy.

“I've decided to go with the both of you to the Black Market.”

“Umm…I'm not sure if today would be a good idea.”

“I will be involved with what you will be doing while away from me, finding out now while you and Iason are together is the best way to get filled in fast.”

“I understand that but today Iason and I will be very busy with many things that you have no prier knowledge of. It might be best to give you past information first to get you caught up so that questions can be answered that way before hand.”

“I'm not asking you if it is alright if I can accompany the both of you. I'm telling you that I am going with you.” Raoul said in tones that forbid any further argument.

Katze stiffened and tried to move away a little but the arm around him tightened, pulling him back.

“I have, of course, have not spoken to Iason but I think that what I need to talk to him about he will want to know and considering that I am allowing you to go back to your Black Market duties a few days early I think that my request is minor.”

“Of course Sir Am.”

Raoul rolled Katze back under him, fitting his large frame between smooth thighs, displeased with the cold monotone answer from Katze. “Look at me Katze.” He commanded. Golden eyes that lifted were filled with irritation even though he had no expression on his lovely face. Bracing his weight on a forearm, Raoul smiled down and caressed Katze's lower lip with his thumb. “How blind do you think I am? I have noticed from the very beginning that Iason has you working on something that has no bearing to at all to the Black Market. If it did then that duty should have immediately been given to the…person…that had stepped in while you have been here.”

“Iason…might not want the interruption.” Katze said wiggling a little under the weight holding his down.

“If you are worried don't be. I'll be sure to let Iason know that what I need to tell him is more important then what ever it is the both of you need to discuss.”

“I don't know about that…” Katze mumbled. The main reason Iason and he were going to the Black Market was because they could talk freely about what was happening to Riki, the only one secretly listening there being Iason. In the Black Market Iason was essentially a god there, his power and reach limitless. He had absolute control over everything, where as his power as the Tanagura Syndicate leader was restricted by the whims of Jupiter. “It's your ass that'll get chewed if he gets angry.”

Raoul pressed his hips down, rocking a little, smiling a smug smile when he felt Katze's responds thickening between them. “We have an hour before we need to get up and get ready.” He said huskily, dipping his tongue out to lick and suckle the lip his thumb had caressed.

Wrapping his arms around broad shoulders, Katze lifted his legs to cradle lean hips once again. “Just don't make me late.” Katze was able to twist his head away to say before his lips were captured again.

 

oOoOoOo

 

Toweling his long platinum blonde dry Iason walked to the side of the bed his mongrel was sleeping on. Throwing his wet towel to the ground he shook his head as he took in the sight of Riki on his stomach, bronze body spread out on the bed. Wisps of black hair peeked out from under the covers; the only thing visible was a firm butt cheek. Sitting down Iason grabbed his brush and ran it through his long hair as he nudged the sleeping Mongrel. “Riki wake up.”   

Angry mumbles answered him and the dark head completely disappeared under the blanket. When he did not get a responds from the second nudge he gave a hard whap to the exposed rump, the crack from the slap echoing throughout the room.  A dark hand appeared and rubbed at the sting on the abused, now red, cheek then disappeared back under the covers.

Sighing Iason gabbed the blanket and ripped it way from the sleeping Mongrel. Turning Riki over sparkling black eyes shined up at him.

“And here I thought I'd get a little more spanking then what I got.” Riki laughingly said stretching. “That's the most hard core action I've gotten in the past week. You've been love'n me so gently that I was thinking your brain got replaced with someone else's.” Sitting up Riki leaned up and bit Iason's lower lip, wiggling his brows at his Blondie as he trailed his had up a muscular bare thigh from under Iason's robe.

Chuckling Iason kissed Riki deeply but stopped the dark and from going any farther up his leg. “As much as I would love to continue down the path you are taking I need to get ready to leave.” Kissing Riki again Iason stood and dropped the robe to the floor.

“Deny me all you want but you can't hide that you want me.” Riki said pointing to the hard length Iason had uncovered.

Smiling Iason pulled his cream colored slacks over his hips, adjusting himself in the process. “I've never hidden the fact that I want you. Ever.”

“True.” Grinning Riki got out of bed and picked up Iason's shirt, holding it out so powerful arms could slide into the sleeves and as long elegant fingers were occupied with the multiple buttons he took it upon himself to “help” smooth the wrinkles out of the front of Iason's pants.

“Riki…” Iason hissed, hardening even more under those clever fingers.

“What? I'm helping you get ready, wouldn't want you to be late.” Riki trailed his fingertips up Iason's hard length as his other hand sneaked under the as of yet tucked shirt.

Clamping his hands on those hands Iason drew Riki around to him forcing his head back with a fist full of hair and swooping down to slant his mouth over his little lovers. After a few moments, breathing hard, Iason rested his forehead on Riki's. “Later…we'll continue later.”

Riki knew he could make his Blondie take him and he told him so.

“This I have no doubt.” Controlling himself Iason pushed Riki gently away from him. “Go put some clothes on.”

Giving Iason an irritated look Riki went and laid back down on the bed, propping his head up with his hand he obeyed Iason's order to dress himself by covering his own harden member with Iason's handkerchief. “You never said where you were head off to today.”

Iason dew on his pale blue Syndicate crested coat and searched for his handkerchief, the last item to complete his outfit. “Katze is going back to the Black Market. We are meeting there to go over what he has missed while away. Have you seen-“

Riki grinned and winked at Iason's heated look.

“You're determined to make me late aren't you?” Iason said taking the silk cloth from between Riki's legs. Iason checked the clock on the night stand, 7:00 he needed to be out to meet Katze in five minutes.

“What can I say; the party I've planned while you're away doesn't start for a while yet. I plan to trash the place; it'll be the talk of the town baby. It'll be a huge bang to be sure.”

Iason paused and pinned Riki with a stern look. “Stay out of trouble today.”

“Yeah, yeah. For crying out loud what the hell could possibly happen?”

“When that person is you? Anything.” 

oOoOoOoOo

Luke sat in the out door section of the fancy restaurant waiting. Guy and he had planted the bombs early in the morning before the dawn. Thankfully Guy had changed the way he would set the damn things off. Instead of him pouring in the yellow liquid he had made it so the thing was suspended in plastic flexible containers, held up and suspended in the jugs with strings, strings that were secure on the outside from small drilled holes in the cap. All he needed to do was cut the lines and that would drop the stuff in the alcohol.

Signaling the waiter was a refill of coffee Luke checked his watch. 7:10 Am. twenty more minutes then he would head to the first jug. That's when they changed the security shift and should also be when Guy sneaks in if all goes well.

oOoOoOoOo

Guy nodded in greeting to his fellow coworker as he swiped he fake access card and waited, heart pounding, until the green light appeared and the door gave a click, unlocking.

Walking confidently in he shifted the bag he had on his shoulder, the bag filled with little homemade bombs. Insurance just in case he needed them.

Pulling the uniform cap lower down to cover more of his clean shaven face Guy nodded and muttered a few more good mornings and hellos as he passed more Eos grounds keepers. As hoped no one batted an eye at his unfamiliar face. With so many employees for all they knew he's been working here forever.

A plus side was last night when he was doing one last run around Eos he stumbled upon a security guard getting it on with another employee. They were so into each other that they hadn't notice him sneaking up on them. Knocking them out wasn't a problem, hell the spot there were messing around at was the perfect spot, out of hearing and out of sight. He had a field day with them. From the security guard after a few broken bones he was able to get an almost full lay out of the place.

The pretty boy he was with turned out to be just as a delightful find. Turned out he was a waiter for the pets in Eos and knew exactly who Riki was and most important where he would most likely be.

Giving a smile and nod to the security guards that pass him by Guy looked at his watch 7:10. He had twenty minutes before Luke set off the first bombs and maybe five minutes between each explosion, less then thirty-five minutes to find and get Riki out.

Using his access card to open the door marked `Maintenance' Guy slipped in to quickly set up the third part of his plan.

oOoOoOoOo

“Raoul?” Iason did pause in his stride towards Katze and Raoul standing next to the darkly tainted black unmarked Syndicate vehicle.

“Good Morning Iason.” Raoul bowed his head respectfully.

“Katze and I have an appointment to day, my friend.” The driver rushed forward and opened the back door as Iason got closer.

Katze looked at Raoul then Iason, lowering his eyes he entered the car signaling the driver to close the door leaving Raoul to explain to Iason what he was doing there.

Waiting until the driver was behind the wheel leaving them alone Iason held up his hand, silencing Raoul who had opened his mouth to speak. “There is no need to say any thing. I had hoped you would be joining us this morning.”

Raoul blinked in surprise. “You did?”

Iason smiled. “Yes. If you did not show up I would have come to you later today to discuss a few things.”

“I also needed to speak with you about a few things.”

Iason opened the back door of the car. “Then let us go.” Iason checked his wrist watch. “It is 7:15 and I would like to head out now so that we may finish early. We can discuss this when we reach our destination.” Iason got in motioning Raoul to follow.

oOoOoOoOo

Luke jogged across the street skidding to a stop, waiting for the darkly tinted black car to pass by before continuing on to where the first jug was hidden, pulling out his small switch blade his pulse was wild as unformed guards looked at him suspiciously.

Wiping the sweat from his brow Luke smiled nervously and headed to the benches that lined the side of Eos, the first jug was hidden in the artsy potted plants next to it.

oOoOoOoOo

Iason frowned as they passed a man on the side walk, turning his head and watching the man jog towards Eos.

“Someone you know Iason?” Raoul asked turning his head to observe the man Iason was staring after intensively.

After a moment Iason faced forward.”…No. He looks familiar that's all. Keep going.” Iason told the driver who had slowed down.

oOoOoOoOo

Riki twitched in his seat, sitting in his usual spot in the saloon. He could feel someone watching him and not in the normal way that he was use to from the pets. It was an itching, a feeling that he use to get when he was in Ceres, it was an instinct that never would fade. His eyes studied every face, every eye bold enough to meet his.

“Riki?”

Riki looked up, surprised to see Lilly standing in front of him. Shit the kid looked bad. The sparkle that always seemed to be around him was dimmed it seemed. The bastard still smelled great but looking closely he could see dark circles under his eyes, he looked pale and weak looking. “Shit man…what happen to you.” Riki whispered patting the seat next to him.

Looking around him Lilly nervously sat down carefully. 

The search for the eyes burning a hole in his back momentarily forgotten Riki looked at the lovely pet as he fidgeted, trying to hide, unsuccessfully, the winch of pain that fluttered across his face, his fingers tugged at the wide jeweled collar at his neck. “This is the first time you've come over to talk to me. Thought you couldn't talk to me without your Blondie watching or something like that?”

Lilly looked around him still fearful. “I may have whispered to a few pets that keeping my talking to you a secret would be…a great benefit to them, the reward being a feeling of indescribable pleasure.”

Riki's black brows shot up. “That sure of yourself huh?”

“Yes. Years of training, years of knowing what to do, how to do it, what to give and what to hold back.”

 Again he said it in a tone that wasn't in anyway bragging just stating a fact. “Don't take this as an insult man but…you look like shit.”

Lilly laughed. “Ya…”

“Where's Jade?”

“Jade…he has a doctor's appointment today. I've been here all morning with him, he left about half an hour go. I stayed behind hoping that you would be coming here.”

“All morning? Its only 7:26 dude.” Riki rubbed the back of his neck. The feeling of who ever was watching him was killing him. “Why did you want to see me so bad?” Riki watched as the tugging became almost clawing at the collar Lilly wore.

“Jade told me he talked to you about leaving this place.” Lilly whispered.

“Ya…I'm trying to find escape routes in this place since he said that he defiantly won't be sold. So far it's not going to well but then again I just started looking into it.”

“I want in…I ca-can't stay here anymore. I need to get out of here.” Lilly harshly whispered. “I can't stay here any longer.”

Riki couldn't take it anymore and started to openly searching each and everyone in the room. “I won't say that “It can't be all that bad” because I know how it is” Riki stood and turned in a circle.

“But will you help me? Will you let escape with Jade when that time comes?”

“You love him that much?” Riki asked only half paying attention to the conversation.

“Yes I do, but not as one would a pairing partner. He's my best friend but not only that if he leaves here he'll need someone to watch his back. Jade is a very gentle person. That guy couldn't harm a fly, won't even use his gift for his own benefit. If someone were to get their hands on him they could easily force him to do what they wanted and that would kill him slowly.” Lilly looked up at Riki. “What's wrong?”

Riki massaged the back of his neck. “Something's wrong.” Riki said just as the building shook and the fire alarm blared.

oOoOoOoOo

Jupiter looked at the lovely pet sitting on the white tiled floor behind the one way glass in the observation room deep down in the sub basement of Jupiter Tower. Cold mercury colored eyes took in his perfectly shaped face and trembling body clothed in a hospital gown.

“As you have seen in the reports he has shown nothing in which to let us assume that he could be a benefit to any future research.”

“I have already denied your request for termination. This child is the only successful birth in five years. I have waited a long time and if I have to wait a few more years to see results then I will.” Jupiter kept her cold eyes on the light brown haired pet.

The two scientists looked at each other then one of them cleared his throat, stepping forward. “We don't know what else to try…all tests have been done, repeatedly; we are at a standstill with him.”

“What of pain?”

“Excuse me?”

Jupiter turned to the two young men she had picked to take over Landon's place. “I have never seen pain be used as a motivation to uncover if this child is hiding any secrets.”

“Ahh…we were always under strict orders never to harm the subject.” A drop of sweat ran down the man's face, mirrored in those cold mercury eyes, trained on his face.

“An order that came from me correct?”

“Yes.”

Jupiter turned her attention back to the pet in the room. “Then do as I say and since I'm here I will observe the methods that you use on him.”

“Forgive me, but his master is expecting the subject, his pet, to accompany him to a few social meetings…His Master was told we would be done with him now, at 7:30…what do we tell him?”

“Tell him anything you need to.” Jupiter's silver body glowed threateningly. “If I am to be down,” Cut off from above. “Then I want to see what happens, what this child will do to protect himself when pain is introduced. As a pet he is pampered, spoiled and should not know anything of suffering, in a physical level.”

Jade jumped up in surprise as the door to the room swung open and unfamiliar men walked in pushing a cart. He didn't struggle as he was pushed down and strapped to the bed. He looked at the mirror and wondered who was watching him.

“This might hurt just a little.”

Jade closed his eyes and exhaled preparing himself for whatever was to come.

oOoOoOoOo

“What's happening!?” Lilly shouted to be heard over the alarm. Pets screamed and rushed to the exit as a steel security door was lowered sealing them in.

“No fucking clue.” After a few seconds the alarm shut off but the steel door remained in place.

“That door can't be opened no matter how much they claw at it.” Lilly mumbled, he didn't seem at all worried that the building just rocked on its foundations.

Riki rushed to the door as well, pushing and shoving hysterical pets to the side pressing on the intercom screen but all he got was static. “What the fuck is going on…” Pushing his self away from the door Riki went to the waiter, who was calmly wiping the counter, grabbing him by the shoulder, spinning him around. “Why the fuck are you just standing there doing nothing-“Riki's eyes widened.

“Hello Riki.”

oOoOoOoOo

Iason uncrossed his long legs as they arrived at the security gates leading to the under ground parking area. He had kept the conversation to a minimal while they traveled wanting to wait until they got onto the office before he openly revealed to Raoul what was going on. The first night Katze had reported to him he had decided to ask Raoul to take over the mandatory check ups, house calls, Riki needed eliminating the need for Riki to go anywhere else.

The car door opened and Katze got out first barking out sharp orders to secure the area, making sure the passage way to the entrance to the main office was clear before signaling Raoul and Iason to come out.

“Nice to see you haven't lost your touch Katze,” Iason commented as they walked on.

“Thank you Master Iason,”

Raoul gave Katze an annoyed look and pulled him to his side as they walked behind Iason.

Giving Raoul an amused look Iason continued forward, his lips tilled up coldly as doors were opened for him and looks of awe from roughneck employees from down below and whispers floated up to his ears.

Katze took the lead as they reached a hand scanner to the next set of doors. Katze laid his hand on the screen, getting clearance, the doors opened to a long hallway and more security scans until finally the reached the controller's room.

“It's ridiculous how much one has to go through just to get to this room.” Raoul said.

“Paranoia, Sir Am, is how I've succeeded as Iason's Overseer.” Katze walked over to his station smiling as he saw that nothing, from when he was taken by Jupiter's hounds, has been cleaned. His cup of coffee was still there as well a film of mold in it.

“I made sure nothing was moved. I know how you get when someone touches your desk.”

“Thank you Alex.” Katze's right hand man walked up to him, his friendly smile faded as he saw Raoul behind him.

“Alex? The Alex that sent you the flowers?” Raoul reached for the shorter man who swore and backed away.

“Raoul.” Iason called out softly, the only one that could have stopped Raoul from his murderous intent. Sitting down Iason flicked his displeased ice blue eyes at the three before him. “We have things to do and Alex, Raoul, is a necessity. Do not break my tools while they prove to be still useful.” Iason motioned Raoul to sit by him accompanied with a look that would not tolerate any argument.

“Holy shit I saw my life flash before my eyes.” Alex whispered to Katze.

“Whispering doesn't mean they won't hear you.” Katze said as he buzzed the kitchen ordering refreshments and a light breakfast for all of them.

“You're shitting me?” Alex whispered softer.

“Jupiter gifted them with enhanced abilities, advanced intellect, strength, beauty, eye sight, taste, hearing, everything.”

“I wouldn't do if we were the same as you humans.” Raoul said glaring at them.

Katze ignored Raoul and Alex as much as he could as he booted up his computer, sighing in relief as he saw that his everything had locked up as it should when he was way for longer then a minute.

“I think he wants to kill me.” Alex continued to whisper.

“It's the lover's code.” Katze said in a monotone directing the servants, who hustled to get the Elites the meal and drinks, set up on the long table in front of Iason.

“Lover's code? Why-“

Katze's hair was lifted away from his face, uncovering his ears.

“Holy shit! You're a pet!?”

“Sit Raoul.” Iason commanded his friend that had stood when the other man touched Katze, he was becoming irritated already even thought he didn't show it. “I would suggest that you remove yourself from around Katze, Alex and sit down yourself or will have to allow my friend to rip your arms off for touching his property.”

“Right no touching…”

Katze gave Alex a bored cold look, a look that heated with anger at Raoul. “No insult was meant Sir Am so please forgive my employee and his lack of manners.”

Iason held up his hand stopping the argument that was sure to start. “As interesting and entertaining as this would be for me to watch, this is not what I came here for. The topic is what information you, Alex, have found out about Riki.”

Raoul sat down slowly. “Riki?”

“Yes. I have discovered that someone has been doing something to him, medically, for quite some time.”

“Is this why he asked about how to escape Eos?”

Iason's blue eyes tightened became down right glacier as they turned to Raoul. “Explain.”

oOoOoOoOo

“Guy…” Riki stepped back in shock never expecting his ex-pairing partner to be before him. Hair cut short and slicked back wearing the plain but expensive waiter's uniform, but it was how skinny he was that shocked him the most. Guy was half the man he uses to be.

“Long time no see huh?” Guy knew he didn't have very much time before Eos fire department put the fire out in the maintenance room and also discovered the little gizmo he had hooked up in the security room disabling the alarm for this room to be broadcasted down there, to signal to them that they needed help not to mention the dead body of the security guard who was probably what they would spend a good amount of time on, he made sure the whole room was a bloody mess.

“No shit…Never thought to see you here.” Riki whispered his eyes shifting to Lilly, who was a few steps a head of him motioning with his head, making him get behind him.

Guy shrugged and smiled even had he threw a bottle of alcohol in the direction of the screaming pets at the exit. “SHUT UP!”

“Lilly please.” Riki said calmly not wanting to look away from Guy who picked up a bag from the side of the counter.

Lilly slowly backed up then turned to the pets shushing them and herding them into a little sitting area, making them sit on the floor. It was the only place away from the large windows and the lunatic that somehow knew Riki. Once he got all the whimpering pets out of sight and safe from any thrown objects Lilly hurried back behind Riki, wanting to be there to back him up if he needed him.

“How the hell did you get in here Guy?”

Guy grinned and rummaged through his bag, taking out six small plastic bottles and a little container. “How? That's a secret.”

Riki flinched at the almost high pitch insane giggle that came out of Guy. His heart sinking as he looked at him. It didn't take much to see that the man was crazy; it was something that he had hoped he wouldn't see. The same crazed look Guy had was the same look he had when he had kidnapped him. He had hoped that Guy would snap back to reality but that didn't look like it was the case.

“Time to go home Riki.”

Riki looked at the bottles on the counter, for the moment ignoring Guy's comment. “What's that?”

“Little homemade goodness.” Guy grinned.

Riki waited knowing that Guy would tell him without his asking.

“Bombs. I just need to add the chlorine tablets, make sure the caps are screwed tightly back on, wait a little bit and BAM!”

Riki stepped forward just as the building rocked again. “What the fuck!?”

“Ahhh. Ten minutes left. We need to get going Riki, there's two more bombs left not that much time left, time to go home.”

“I am home Guy. I'm not going anywhere.”

“You're just confused! That fucking Blondie has got you brains so fucked up you don't know what you're saying!” Guy suddenly lifted his head up and laughed. “Fuck it. I'll just make you come with me. Once I get you to the Hatch, and once you get away from this place you'll snap out of it.”

Riki grit his teeth, the Hatch of course, why the hell didn't he think about that place.

The door to the saloon shook which started the pets to start screaming again.

“Wow didn't think they'd be here this fast, but as the siren for the alarm is still off it looks like they haven't found my little toy I planted. Doors jammed up tight too so we have some time.”

“How did you think you were going to get out of here?” Lilly asked curious.

Guy glared at the beautiful creature behind Riki but answered his question. “Blowing up the windows and in my bag I have two climbing harnesses and rope long enough to scale down and away from this hell hole.”

“Lilly I need your help.” Riki said as he stared into the wild gray eyes of his past lover. Lights from the alarms were flashed all around them, the pets in the saloon were screaming in terror, the pounding at the door as help from the security trying to bust the jammed door open.

“What can I do?” Lilly asked as he too looked at the clearly crazed person that licked his steel glaze down Riki's body, the building shook again as a third explosion went off.

Taking a chance Riki looked Lilly into his pale yellow-tan eyes. “I need you to stop whoever comes in this room. I need you to make sure no one stops me and Guy.”

Lilly pale face paled even more then it already was and he started to visibly shake. “I can't do that.”

“Yes,' Riki said firmly not allowing Lilly to look away from his eyes. “Yes you can.” He said meaningfully.

“No…no! you don't know what your asking from me Riki.” Lilly said fearfully. “He'll know what I've done. He'll know at once…what he'll do to me- you don't know- he just unchained me today! I can't…I just can't!” 

“Lilly…please.” Riki said desperately as the steel doors started to cave in. “Please.”

Lilly searched those black, depthless, eyes. He was scared, terrified, he'd never done what Riki was asking not to such a large crowd. There were at least fifteen screeching pets and not to mention how many guards out side that door. He didn't know if he could do it. “Riki…” 

“We have a deal Lilly. I will help you get out of here no matter what. I just need your help now. Please.” Riki turned back to Guy who had taken the opportunity to sneak closer to him while he hadn't been watching.

Lilly nodded jerkily, a chance at freedom. “Okay…alright I'll do it. You can't be here though. Jade doesn't affect you but I don't know if what I can do will affect you or not.”

“Its okay I think me and Guy would prefer if our reunion was a little more private anyway right Guy?” Riki backed up slowly towards one of the private rooms in the saloon with Guy following obediently after him. “Don't let any one in the room I'm going into Lilly not even you no matter what you hear got it?”

Lilly gave Riki a tense nod then when they were gone he took a few deep shaky breaths and closed his eyes for a few seconds, he knew he said he'd do it but lord he was scared shitless. There was no going back, no denying he did anything when the Blondie found out. He had to force himself to the center of the room, his legs stiff, fighting his command to move. He had been holding it in for two years now since Mikhale stole him. Forbidden to show anyone, any little slip was severely punished a hundred fold sometimes.

Concentrating hard, wishing Jade was with him to help him, he just hoped to god what he was going to do would work. The control he had was shaky over this little talent of his. Slowly he let it out, the relief immense, almost like the release he got from having sex and he even moaned. A heavenly scent rose from him filling the air. The screaming pets slowly quieted, they blinked their eyes confused for a few seconds before dozens of pairs of eyes shut completely and stayed closed, their chest raising and falling as they all fell into a deep sleep.

Laying down himself, a safe distance away from the door, Lilly lowered his lids so that when the security guards looked at him they would see just another sleeping pet. He continued to pump the sleepy scent, which thankfully worked as he hoped it would, into the air.

The groaning of the door as it finally gave, the whoosh and bang as it fell to the floor, the stomping of the feet as enforcement stormed in Lilly ignored it all and continued pump everything he had into the room until he felt he had nothing left, he shook with the stress of trying to control the scent he emitted into the air. One by one he heard bodies fall to the floor. Opening his eyes he breathed a sigh of relief as black uniformed guards littered the floor, but knew more would be coming.

Not knowing how much time he had left Lilly took the bottles the man, Guy, left on the counter and rushed to the large windows, he wanted to give Riki as much time as he could but he also knew that Elites weren't ones to stay quietly behind safe doors and hide especially when something of theirs, their pets and home, were being threatened. Not just that be he knew his Blondie would be coming knowing that he was here so he needed to clear the air before he got here, get rid of the scent as fast as he could.

Lining up the bottles on the windowsill he unscrewed the caps on of them, dropping a tablet in each before re-screwing the caps on then running away, hiding behind a table.

“Hurry Riki.”

oOoOoOoOo

The moment Guy closed the door behind them he grabbed Riki around the waist, pulling him against him and kissing him, forcing his tongue between Riki's lips, holding onto him with his artificial arm.

Riki pushed Guy's face away from his gasping in pain as the arm around him tightened making his ribs creek from the pressure.

“I never said how good you look Riki.”

Riki endured the pawing, the painful squeeze between his legs, he had to make sure.

“Oh god they fixed you, thank god.” Guy was in heaven, Riki in his arms again, kissing him again.

“Yeah they gave me back the dick you fucking cut off.” Riki brought his knee up between Guy's legs and slammed his forehead down onto Guy's nose, kicking him away from him.

Guy stumbled back toppling a few chairs behind him, bent at the waist in pain, blood gushed from his nose. “I'm sorry but I promise everything will be wonderful once we leave this place.”

“I told you this is my home now, here with Iason.” Riki braced himself. The look that never left Guy's eyes flared brighter with unnatural light.

“No…you don't know what you're saying! That-that freak has fucked with your head!”

“I walked back in that building. I walked back in so I could die next to him because I loved him and because I love him I'm willing to give him my freedom and be labeled a pet just so I can be with him.”

Guy howled at Riki's words.

“I've been trying to find you; I even tried to runaway to Ceres just to see if I could find you before Iason did. Shit after what you did to me I should be taking it out on your face, with interest, but that's not the reason why I wanted to find you. I just had to look into your eyes one last time. I had to see that, that look you gave me when you took me to Dana Bahn wasn't there.”

“What fucking look!?”

“That look.” Riki shook his head, his heart breaking at what he turned his friend, his once beloved lover into. “This isn't you man and the shit with me is over Guy as I told you before. There is no going back to what we once were. I've found my place, as fucked up as it is, I've found it.”

“With the Blondie!? You expect me to think you want this?”

“Yeah I do. As I said I love him Guy.”

“You love him…loved him more then you ever loved me.” Even though he said the words, heard the words coming out of Riki's mouth it was like someone else saw saying them.

“I made a promise to myself that if I found you I would free you. If I saw that look in your eyes again I would do what I needed to do.”

The pain faded away and Guy stood tall.

“I worked out, build up my strength, made sure I was strong physically and mentally so I could do this. I was my fault that you got this way and I will take full responsibility but I also promised that you would never hurt the one I love again.”

Guy hungrily looked at Riki, his black hair, bronzed skin that shined with health to look into determined black eyes. “Your mine Riki, no one can have you but me. I'll kill you first if I have to before I let anyone else have you.”

The building shook harder then the previous three just as Guy attached slamming Riki back into the mirror behind him. Guy's unnaturally strong hand grabbed the pet chain around his neck, crushing it in his fist.

“Your mine, never his.”

oOoOoOoOo

“How could this have been happening without our knowledge?” Raoul whispered once Katze and Iason filled him in on all the things they discovered. Looking sharply at Katze Raoul narrowed his eyes. “For now on all your examinations will be conducted by me.”

“I don't think I'm in any danger-“

“I said I will do them for now on, there won't be any problems since I am qualified.” Raoul said firmly.

“This is another thing I wanted to talk to you about. I want you to take Riki on as a patient and see if you can decipher if they have done anything to him.” Iason held Raoul's glaze until Raoul nodded his agreement.

The phone started to ring breaking the uncomfortable stillness in the room.

“Alex didn't you tell the front that we were not to be interrupted?” Katze asked from across the room, forced there by Raoul who wouldn't rest until he was far away from his underling.

Frowning Alex got up and walked over to the phone picking it up just as the ring on Iason's finger blared a high tune. The Blondie moved so fast he was a blur and he was lucky he had gotten up when he had or he had no doubt the Blondie would had thrown him out of his way to get to the computer.

“Iason what is it?” Raoul went over to stand next to Iason as he drew up a map of Tanagura and all the surrounding areas.

“Riki's tracking device has gone out.” Iason darkly said.

“He wouldn't have…He couldn't have found a way to escape Eos. I told him it was impossible and there isn't anyone he could have gotten the information from so fast!” Raoul said as he watched Iason quickly type on the keyboard.

“…Eos has been attacked.” Alex said with the phone still to his ear.

Iason's fingers paused for less then a second before continuing to type in his code. The second tracking device in Riki's cock ring was still active and he sighed with relief as the signal shined strongly, showing his Mongrel was in Eos and was not moving.

“Katze contact Eos and get all the information on what is going on now. Alex call the driver and have him pull the car up at the door.”

Raoul had the door open and was already on his way to getting the second door unlocked he only looked behind him to make sure Katze was following behind Iason before turning his attention back to entering his access code as fast as he could before Iason ripped the door from its hinges.

The car pealed out of the parking lot as the driver raced back to Eos, blaring his horn to pedestrians and other cars to get out of his way.

“7:30 this morning a bomb was set off accompanied by three others five minutes apart from each other on the side, explosions were by the benches. We were already here entering the building when the first one was set off. There was also a fire in the lower level, employee section only so a lot of attention was shifted to that area and the majority of the guards, with the bomb squad, were set to search the outside perimeter to determine if there were more explosive devices.” Katze listened to who ever was on the other line from the cell phone he was on.

“Once the fire was out they found a guard murdered gruesomely in the watch tower. They have yet to find the culprit…A rescue team was sent up to the pet saloon where the fire door was lowered, jammed, and they are right now knocking the door down to get in…are you sure?” Katze whispered to his informant on the other end, holding the phone way Katze looked at it then closed it, holding it in his fist. “Identification scanning records show that Riki is one of the pets that are in the saloon when it went into lock down.”

Iason leaned forward towards the driver. “You have less then five minutes to get us to Eos before I snap your neck.”

Raoul could only hope the wild Mongrel was alright.

oOoOoOoOo

Riki spit up blood, his shoulder from Guy's punch had dislocated it. He felt broken, pain ripped through him as he breathed. That fucking arm of Guy's was killing him but he was happy to say the fucker was in just as much in pain as he was in and he hoped to god he was in more pain then he was. He didn't know how much longer he was going to last as the pain was getting stronger with every move he made. They had gone all out on each other, holding nothing back.

“You…you have gotten better at fighting, hard to believe since your stuck here.” Guy panted from the floor as he slipped the small knife he had hidden in his boot.

“The fist action may not be as exciting as it is in the Slums but it helps to keep my scenes sharp.” Riki panted back seeing Guy's hand move to his boot, blood dripped in his eye but he didn't wipe it away, doing so would give the other an opening that he couldn't afford to give. Glass crunched under his feet as he shifted into a better defensive position.

“You ready for me?” Guy asked blood from the cut on his cheek dripped down his chin.

“More then ready baby, come get me.”

Riki turned the last minute when Guy rushed him again taking him to the ground, crashing into the wall again making another mirror on the wall fall on them, he shouted in pain as he was rolled over, the glass under him stabbed him in the back but ignored the injure as well as the many others as he wrestled with Guy on the ground and gained the upper hand. He had seen the glint of the blade when Guy charged and with his dwindling strength he couldn't afford to make a wrong move.

The whole floor shook and rocked from and explosion from the other room. Riki's grip on Guy's hand with the knife slipped.

“Game over.”

Riki braced his hand on the floor and tried to use his legs to kick Guy off but his leg got caught under a table that had fallen over on them. The blade came down towards his chest and all he felt was pain never ending pain.

oOoOoOoOo

Lilly covered his head and waited for the bombs to go off when he heard a crash in the room Riki was in. Forgetting Lilly jumped up just as the bombs went off throwing him across room glass came raining down around him and sweet fresh air came gushing in clearing the air of his scent before he passed out.

His last thought before pain from the glass cutting into him and darkness took him away was for Riki's safety.

oOoOoOoOo

Iason was driver right to the front doors of Eos, the driver taking Iason's threat to heart, driving at top speed, making people run and scream in terror as he drove on sideways and through parks, jumping the curb and damaging under the car to get them to the front doors.

“Your Excellency I'm sorry but we can't allow you to enter, it's not safe.”

Katze exited the vehicle first and walked up to the guard and pressed his thumb to the side of his neck before the guard could react and fend him off. The guard's eyes rolled to the back of his head and he hit the floor out cold. Katze got out of the way as Iason passed him, stepping over the guard on the ground and headed for the elevators.

“Amazing,” Raoul said to Katze as they both followed after Iason.

“It was either I put him down or be left behind to talk to the authorities on why our refined Syndicate Leader found it necessary to rip one of their man's heads off.”

“Good call. Makes me wonder though why you've never used that move on me before.”

“If I thought for one second it would work then maybe I would have.”

If they had been alone, if the situation was not as it were then Raoul would have laughed. “Just in case I will get my medical bag first then follow you to the saloon.” Raoul said as Iason got into the elevator. “Katze will head down to the Watch tower and see if he can find if anyone suspicious is found on the security cameras.”

The air around Iason seemed to freeze, crystallize, as he stared at the both of them. “Fine them and bring them to me.” Iason said when the elevator doors started to close.

“We will.” Raoul and Katze bowed and set off.

oOoOoOoOo

“From the time we were in Guardian I've loved you.” Guy whispered above Riki. “I knew deep in my heart that I would lose you one day, that you were never meant for me, that if I didn't do something one day you would forget about me.”

Riki fought back the darkness and gasped in pain, He could feel the blood pooling between them the warmth of it pooling under him.

“I love you, you know you bastard. More then that Blondie will ever love you.”

Riki screamed as he pulled the large piece of broken glass out of Guy's stomach, the jagged shape edges cutting straight down to the bone, a shard he had been lucky enough to find and grab when he braced his hand on the floor. The blade was in his shoulder, he had been able to move out of the way just in time so that Guy missed getting him in the heart.

“Hey Riki…You love me too don't you?”

“Yeah Guy…I love you too.”

Guy looked down at Riki with joy and kissed him softly on the lips. “I'm tired,” he whispered laying his head down on Riki's chest, his hand that still griped the blade fell away. “I'm so tired.”

“Then sleep,” Riki brokenly whispered back.

“Yeah…in your arms just like the old days…”

Riki held Guy, wrapping his arms around him as Guy slumped over to the side. With the adrenaline fading from his body, Riki started to feel the pain of all of his injuries taking over. His shoulder and ribs throbbed and his back stung, he knew he was bleeding pretty badly but he just couldn't seem to let go of Guy's body just yet. Glass, broken tables, chairs and blood were every where, even if he did let go of Guy's still warm body he didn't think he could make it to the door to leave, not on his own two feet.

Stifling a cry of pain that came from his broken ribs Riki heaved Guy higher up and lay down with his head resting on his dislocated shoulder. He held his shaking weary arm up looking, not at his wounds, but at the blood that covered his hand, Guy's blood. “I'm so sorry man.” Riki sobbed hugging the pale limp form.           &nbs p;           

oOoOoOoOo

Iason rushed into the Saloon, his eyes franticly searching for a head of black hair, he shoved a security guard out of his was that foolishly thought to keep him back.

“Your Excellency?”

Iason snapped his head to the side. Mikhale Tain's pale faced beautiful pet looked up at him with worried eyes, eyes that shifted towards the open doors of a room medics were rushing into.

Almost running Iason took in the destroyed room but his main focus was the swollen face of his beloved, the blood that covered his body, of the arm that was wrapped around his most hated enemy.

Taking Guy by the arm he flung him off of Riki then kneeled down and picked him up in his arms, snarling at the medic that warned him not to touch him. Caressing a bruised bloody cheek Iason kissed Riki on the lips. “Riki?”

Standing carefully Iason walked over and used his foot to right a sofa back up. Sitting down, uncaring that it had no cushions, he gently held Riki in his arms, shaking him softly, desperately, needing to see those rebellious black eyes on him, “Riki?” The knife in his beloved shoulder was unbearable to look at.

“Your Excellency? He needs immediate care. We don't know how badly he is injured. We haven't even begun to check on his injures.”

“I'm not dying. It feels like it but I'm not, not yet anyway.”

Iason breathed a sigh of relief as a raspy whisper filled with pain spoke out. Thick soot colored eyelashes struggled to lift up, Black eyes brimmed with tears looked up at him then shifted to the body on the glass littered floor before looking back at him.

“Guess the party I told you I was going to have did end up trashing the place. Looks like I couldn't keep out of trouble like you told me to.” Riki tried to joke, his whispered voice breaking with emotion and pain.

“Shh…It's alright now.” Iason hugged Riki to his chest but quickly let go as his beloved gasped in pain.

“Your Excellency…We need to get your pet to the infirmary.”

“Iason…Take me there please…I don't want to be alone right now…”

“I won't let you go.” Iason could feel the warmth of Riki's blood as it saturated his thick jacket. Glaring at the medic to keep his protests to him self Iason carefully stood, trying not to jostle Riki as much as possible as he walked out of the room shielding Riki when a sheet was drawn over the Mongrel's head. He felt no sympathy. 

“Iason stop.”

Iason's eyes blazed with fury as Raoul blocked him from exiting the room. “Step out of the way Raoul,” He said in a low dangerous voice, everyone around him backed away.

“He's hurt bad Iason, bleeding freely and he's in pain. Put him on the gurney. I've brought my medical bag and will administer a shot to give him comfort. He needs to be examined, which I will do here while you watch every move I make.” Raoul walked forward and carefully put his hand on Iason's shoulder, the powerful muscles tense under his fingers. “I know you're worried,” He whispered. “But you could be doing him more harm by carrying him as you are now.”

Iason gave Raoul a cold look before giving him a short nod in understanding.

Raoul stepped out of the way and let Iason pass allowing him to carry Riki to the medics waiting only a few steps away from the door knowing that Iason needed the reassurance of Riki in his arms, needed to be the one to take care of him if only this much right now.

Rushing forward once Iason put him down and hearing Riki's long low moan of pain the Mongrel was panting, beads of sweat pearled on his forehead but the time he kneeled down next to him. The lack of emotion, the dullness in other wise shining black eyes concerned him but mentioning it wasn't important at the moment. Quickly filling a syringe with the appropriate amount of morphine he cleaned the blood from Riki's inner elbow and injected the drugs in less then a minute and just as quickly the Mongrel's pain filled features smoothed out.

Running his hand down Riki's body showed he had four broken ribs, a disconnected shoulder, the blade in his shoulder bled a little but as long and it wasn't removed then it would be fine for the moment, deep wounds that needed immediate stitching on his right hand and superficial cuts, claw marks, all over his chest and stomach. His left wrist was swollen but without an ex-ray he couldn't be sure if it was broken or not.

Raoul winched in sympathy, the wounds on the Mongrel was adding up and that was just the front of him. The white sheet under Riki was stained crimson and it was spreading, but thankfully when he lifted Riki up it didn't look as bad as it seemed. Laying Riki back down he stood looking up at Iason and motioned him to the side away from Riki who was still conscious, taking Iason back into the room they took Riki out from.

Blissfully free from pain Riki looked around with blurring eyes. The room was a mess; the large windows were blown away, glass everywhere. The room was clear of people except for a few security guards, medics and, smiling a little smile, Lilly who looked at him worriedly giving him a small smile as well as a nod. The pet didn't look so good himself, there was blood on his face but from what he could see there were no wounds.

Riki tried to call out to him but couldn't find his voice.

“Lilly!”

Riki watched as Lilly backed away as a towering Blondie stormed towards him and slapped him across the face, his small frame flying to the side, up and over the only table still standing and landing with a painful cry on the carpet littered with glass.

Struggling to try and sit up Riki could only watch as everyone lowered their eyes, turning their heads away, doing nothing. Unable to get up and still unable to speak out loud Riki helplessly watched as Lilly struggled to get on his hands and knees and stand only to be sent back to the ground with another hard slap from his master. He didn't get back up.

Riki grit his teeth as the Blondie picked Lilly up in his arms, holding him close to his chest and as he walked to the exit the Blondie stopped to give him a glare with those amazing aqua eyes before continuing on his way. As much as he hated seeing and knowing what would happen to Lilly for helping him he couldn't find the anger, the rage that he normally would have felt. He was numb of all feeling. He killed Guy…

Oh god he killed him.
