Digimon Fan Fiction ❯ The Prince's Harem ❯ Takeru's and Daisuke's Secrets ( Chapter 3 )

AN: I finally got to the Kensuke part. I also kinda speeded stuff up so we could get to Takeru's secret. Now I have to figure out if I should continue this….So???

After lunch Daisuke went into his room to get ready. Iori and Koushiro followed him.

"Iori will help you do what you think you need to do to get ready. The Prince will be expecting you in about one hour. I need to go help Jyou," said Koushiro.

"What was wrong with him anyway?" asked Daisuke. "He was mopey all through dinner."

"Nothing you need to worry about. I'll take care of it." Koushiro left.

Iori looked at Daisuke. "What do you want to do?"

"I don't know. I don't know why he would want to see me in the afternoon of all times."

Iori shrugged. "It's my job to make sure that you are ready. But I'm not sure what to do in this case. According to Koushiro, he probably doesn't want to have sex with you. But why he wants to see you, I don't know."

Takeru walked into the room. "Are you ready to go?"

Daisuke looked down at himself. "I guess so. Do you know why he wants to talk to me?"

"All I know is what I told you this morning. I told him what happened between us before."

"Where would he be?"

"In his bedroom, I would guess. It's the only room in the house that is directly connected with the harem. If he wanted you to meet him anywhere else, he would have sent someone for you."

Daisuke nodded. Takeru gave Daisuke a hug and a kiss. Daisuke gave Takeru a hug. "I'll see you in a little while. I'm going to go see what he wants." Daisuke walked toward Ken's bedroom with curiosity and fear, curious as to why he was called and afraid that he would be separated from Takeru again.

Ken was sitting in front of the fireplace when Daisuke walked in. Daisuke bowed to Ken and waited. Ken studied his new slave. He was definitely attractive. Lady Miyako had chosen well. However, Ken noticed something else. Daisuke had an essence of power about him. The powers of the universe did not create him to be a slave, but to use power for good's sake. How this boy had become a slave intrigued him. "Sit down," he told Daisuke. Daisuke started to sit down on the floor in front of Ken. Ken pulled him up. "No, in the chair."

Daisuke gave Ken a puzzled look and then sat in the chair across from Ken. "You called for me, my prince?"

Ken nodded. "You have just joined my household, and I've heard some very interesting things about you from Takeru. I want to talk to you about where you came from and what you did before."

"There isn't much to tell. I worked in the kitchens at my last masters and helped Takeru with his nightmares."

"That doesn't explain where you came from."

Daisuke shrugged. "My parents needed money, and I was an extra mouth to feed. I was sold. I've been a slave since I was five. I've been through several masters, but this is the first time I've been sold for sex. I usually work in the kitchens. I've always liked cooking."

Ken leaned back in his chair and continued to study Daisuke. "Do you know what is upsetting Takeru?"

Daisuke shook his head. "No, I've told him to tell you, but he won't. He doesn't tell anyone."

Something that had been bothering Ken finally came into focus. Daisuke and Takeru loved each other. And surprisingly, that didn't bother Ken. He realized that he wanted a relationship with Daisuke and he knew somehow that Takeru still loved him. Ken didn't have a relationship with someone that he could consider his equal. The only person he knew who wielded power like he did was Osamu. But even though he and his brother were close, they couldn't be as close as Ken wanted. Politics always seemed to get into the way. Ken could see Daisuke as someone who was an equal. He might have the role of the slave but he had the essence of a prince. That was very attractive to Ken.

"Maybe you could help me learn what is wrong."

"I could try, my Prince."

"Ken." Daisuke looked puzzled. "My name is Ken."

"You want me to call you by your first name?"

Ken nodded. "I will need help with Takeru and I think that you and I could have a very interesting relationship."

"Interesting relationship?"

Ken smiled at Daisuke. "Yes. You are something else, Daisuke. And I'm very glad that you were bought by Miyako for me. And I'm sure that Takeru is glad to have his boyfriend back."

Daisuke was startled. "You know?"

"Yes. I do know now. Don't worry. I do think that things are going to be very interesting from now on."

******************************************************************* ***************

Daisuke had an interesting afternoon with Ken. He talked about things he liked to cook as well as what he knew about Takeru. However, the two of them were unable to piece together what could be bothering him. That night Takeru again left the harem to go to Ken. Daisuke had told Takeru what Ken had said about them being together.

"Good evening," Takeru said as he walked into the room.

"Good evening, Angel," responded Ken. "Is everything all right? You look concerned."

"You don't mind Daisuke and I being together? I would have thought that you would be mad."

Ken stood up and took Takeru in his arms. "Don't worry. It's going to be ok. It's one thing that being brought up with harems gives me. I have been used to the idea of sharing for a long time. So as long as you don't mind sharing Daisuke, we don't have any problems."

Takeru shook his head. "It's ok. Both of you make me feel loved and cared for."

Ken led Takeru to the bed. "And you are. Trust us."

The next morning after Takeru left, Ken started getting his ideas together. He called Koushiro to his study.

"Yes, my Prince?"

"How is Jyou? I know he was very glad for us to be leaving 'the business' before."

"He will be fine. I made sure that he relaxed last night."

Ken looked at Koushiro. "There are times I think Jyou wasn't made for our business."

Koushiro shrugged. "I don't think so. But you couldn't have me without him, so…"

"So I'm stuck with him." Ken sighed. "I need you too much to worry about his cold feet. I want you to get me some things for Daisuke."

"Daisuke?"

"Yes, I want you to set up a kitchen in the harem and make sure that it has everything he needs to wants to cook."

"Daisuke is going to be a cook for the harem? That's unusual."

"No. That isn't what I have in mind. He likes to cook, so he needs a place to do that. I don't want him to get bored during the day."

"Daisuke does strike me as the active type. So I get together a kitchen for him." Koushiro started writing it down. "Anything else?"

"I believe that's plenty to do right now. It will be a few days until Ryo will be able to report back."

That afternoon Daisuke was surprised when Koushiro asked him what he needed for a kitchen.

"Why are you asking? Am I going to be moved out of the harem?" Daisuke was worried that even though Ken had assured him and Takeru that everything was fine, that he would change his mind.

"No. I was asked to make sure that you have a kitchen with everything that you want. Therefore, I need to know what to get." Daisuke looked at Koushiro with a puzzled look on his face. "He wants to give you a present and he's giving you a kitchen."

Daisuke finally understood. "He's giving me a kitchen as a present?"

"Yes."

Daisuke smiled. "Then I'll have something to do around here. It gets really boring just sitting around. And the garden isn't big enough to run around in." Daisuke looked down at himself. "And these clothes aren't good for that either."

Koushiro sighed.

**************************************************************** ******************

Daisuke and Takeru had an interesting time from then on. Ken continued to court Takeru, but included Daisuke also. Eventually, Daisuke fell in love with Ken. The three became good friends and lovers, but Takeru continued to have nightmares at night. Ken and Daisuke comforted him and waited for the time to be right for Takeru to finally tell them what was wrong. One night, Takeru was ready.

Takeru was snuggled in-between Daisuke and Ken. Daisuke was playing with Ken's hair while Ken was stroking Takeru's. Takeru looked at Ken and started talking. "You really do love me."

Ken smiled. "Yes, Take, I love you."

"I love you too, silly." Daisuke kissed Takeru on the shoulder.

"You know my nightmares?"

"Yes," Ken replied.

"It's from my childhood. When I was little, the slavers came and killed my family and carried me off. I just can't forget them killing all those people." Takeru began to shake. "There was so much blood and I just can't seem to forget."

Ken kissed Takeru on the head and Daisuke held him close. "Don't worry. You're safe here. No one is going to take you away from us."

Takeru nodded and snuggled down into the bed. Shortly he went to sleep.

"Takeru wasn't born a slave?" asked Daisuke quietly. "He's never talked about being a free man before."

"Occasionally, slavers go to other countries to collect slaves. However, they aren't supposed to kill to take them. I'm going to have to do something about that."

Daisuke nodded and yawned. "Well, you are a prince. You could always have them arrested or something." Daisuke went to sleep.

Ken looked at his two sleeping lovers. "Or something," he whispered. "I'll see if I can get more details and find out who would do this to my angel. They won't do it again."

Ken went to sleep thinking of how many ways death could be extremely painful.

AN: I went back and fixed a loose end or two….
