Cherry Bomb 7

The park was filled with the sounds of Children playing. Ryo looked from his newspaper every now and then to make sure that everything was okay. Bikky and Carol were tossing a ball back and forth while Chris amused himself playing with Cujo and his Goat. Why the hell would the count give a child that lives in the city a goat for a companion? Ryo would never know. Why did the goat look like a boy with horns in the shop? Ryo was afraid to ask. He hoped Dee did not need any help today. It was rare that they were not on duty at the same time. And Ryo felt uncomfortable, what if Dee needed back up and he was not there, he was here at a park with kids.

Ryo hoped Leon and Count D would return soon. What ever the Arcadian King wanted, he hoped it would not be too taxing. Those two had traveled a long road to reach their current happiness and Ryo would hate to see it all come crashing down around them. Andy had told them all that they were not to worry too much, the man at the party was D's father. The king wanted to emancipate D from his father's rule...How the hell old was D if he needed to be emancipated. He had never asked, never thought to. He had always assumed that D was of age...Leon was a cop, this could be bad.

But wait! Ryo thought. D lived alone, he was so mature, he was definitely over the age of consent. A thud brought Ryo from his reverie; he looked up to see the goat attacking a young man. Chris was on the ground crying. Bikky and Carol were running to his aid. Ryo sat down his paper and hoped Leon and D would be back soon. He shook his head and went to separate the ruckus of children and angry animals.

Leon had never seen D behave this way. He cradled him in his arms and gently rocked him back and forth. "Detective...I do believe he may need air." Leon looked up at the King and nodded. He placed D on the pillow and began to undo the buttons at the neck of D's cheongsam. He made it to the jewel chain and could not find the clasp.

"Here, let me." D's father said. Leon nodded and stepped aside; he knelt by D's head and raised one of his hands to his lips. They were so cold. D's eyes fluttered and opened, He saw his father looming over him, undoing his cloths and a look of such terror crossed his face that Leon was momentarily shocked until he felt D snatch his hand away and shove at his father.

"No!" D half sobbed, "please no," D shoved again and pulled the edges of his robe closed. D's father looked perplexed, then sad.

"It's me child, not D-San...I'm your father." D shook his head and backed away further.

Leon pulled D into his arms. D held on tightly to Leon's shirt, bunching the delicate material in his fist. "What the hell did you do to him?" Leon ground out as D shivered uncontrollably in his arms.

"He said he would help me..." D said looking down at his lap. His voice was almost a whisper, but Leon was so focused on him that he heard every word. "He said he would make sure it wouldn't hurt when they got to me so that I would not scream, they beat you if you scream. I was delicate and would not survive a beating, so he would make it not hurt when they came for me."

"Make what not hurt?" Leon asked

"When he found me in my grand father's garden, he said I was beautiful, they would definitely come for me. He assured me that it would hurt, a lot, and that I would cry, but after a while it did not hurt. So he would be the first, he would bear my cries and then I would not cry for them and I would not be beaten." D buried his face in Leon's neck. "How could I have forgotten?"

"It was your Grandfather's will." Zarro said. "He wanted to make sure that your first physical encounter was a pleasant one. After the attack you retreated into yourself, you would not eat, they feared for your life. Count D had already lost one son, after realizing what he had done. D-San felt such great remorse that he had hurt his younger brother that he went further insane and ended his life."

"But he didn't..." D said and looked at the king. "My father arrived and pulled him off of me before he could..." D blushed and looked away.

"We never knew how far he got, you would not speak. Are you sure?" D's father asked. D nodded and his father simply sat on the floor in his own personal hell. He had lost one son due to his affair with his lover's wife and another due to his bitter hatred. "In all this, you were the innocent." D's father said to him and turned away. "I blamed you, if you had not been born my life would have gone on as it was with Hamanosuke, Hikari would still be alive, and my son would have married his human and ...but you were born and everything was ruined."

Leon gathered D closer into his lap. "You ruined it yourself, I can understand your hatred of humans, but not your own son...he did not ask to be born, it was something he could not control and yet you hated him any way."

"I never hated him...I couldn't, he was so beautiful, so innocent, I could not hate him...I watched over him from afar."

"I am half human..." D said.

"No you're not," D's father said. "You mother was human yes, but a half Kami always has a choice, I denied you that choice by never telling you of it...you have lived beyond the life span of a human, the choice is no longer yours to make." D's father looked thoroughly beaten. Leon felt sorry for him. What if he were not forgiven for all the times he had been a bastard... D would have kicked him out a long time ago.

"I know you were not there for most of his life...but it's not too late to get to know your son...if you can put up with his love of a human." Leon smirked.

D's father looked up in it really be so easy. He saw Leon place a kiss on D's forehead and smiled. The bond between them spanned the ages...they just could not see it. The warrior/protector and theKami, would they ever be separated? D's father sighed. "I'm too old to change."

"Suit yourself..." Leon said, "If you ever change your mind, you know where we live." Leon looked at D and helped him to re-fasten his robe. "Are we free to leave now? I would like to take him home and put him to bed."

"I am not a child Leon...You of all people should know that." D said to Leon with a look that spoke volumes. D stood from Leon's lap his composure well and firmly in place again. Leon smiled, he loved that haughty attitude. Before it would annoy the hell out of him, now it warmed his heart.

Zarro nodded and opened the door of the salon. Andy bounded over and threw herself forward. D braced himself for impact but was surprised as she wrapped her thin arms around his father. D's father tensed and suffered through the hug for a moment before he stiffly returned it. He sighed and fell into the warmth of the strange human girl. He felt like she understood his pain, like she cared. She backed away and he sighed, perhaps he had been too harsh on this race after all.

Dee and Ryo looked in amazement at Leon and D. The tale of the royal court had been told over dinner. After dinner, Dee pulled Leon aside and handed him a manila envelope. With a sigh Leon opened it and frowned. The man who had bought a frog several weeks ago had died...his intestines were splayed across the picture with several inches missing in what looked like bite marks. "I got the call today." Dee said, "I figured you would want to head the investigation, but since you live here the chief handed it to me, I am not compromised by loving him."

"Let me warn you now...you'll never be able to pin anything on him." Leon smiled confident in D's innocence. "Besides, it's his job."

"To kill?" Dee asked.

"No, to sell pets, he gives the people what they want, what they need and what they deserve. Without him...Sly Reams would not have been caught you know that." Leon said and watched as D tended to Chris' cut knee from his earlier fight. D looked over at Leon and smiled. Leon grew warm, he was afraid that the events in the court room would affect D, he should have known better.

With a defeated smile, Dee and Ryo collected Bikky and Carol and left the shop. Leon and D put Chris to bed. "Sorry squirt, my one weekend off and I could not spend time with you."

-That's ok bro. - Chris said. -I heard Ryo and Dee talking, you had to go to see Count D's father. - Leon smiled and ruffled Chris' hair. D kissed his little forehead and shut the door. Clarisande had repaired T-Chan as promised and he spent a pleasant day raising hell at the park. Poor Ryo, D thought with a small smile.

"What are you smirking about?" Leon asked as they reached their room.

D turned and looked at Leon, his smiled turned from a smirk to a sensual invitation. Without once taking his eyes off of Leon, D undid the robe. Leon stood in aroused amazement as D undressed layer by tantalizing layer. He sat on the bed and looked at Leon expectantly. Leon hurried over to his side and pulled him into his lap. The pants Leon wore had grown too tight and yet he made no move to remove them. D wrapped his arms around Leon and sniffled.

"I need you Leon," He whispered. "I need you to make the bad memories go away."

Leon held D and wiped the tears that fell from his beautiful eyes. "I don't have any magical powers..."

"But you can love me." D said, "All I need is for you to love me...the last memory I have of being touched are...please Leon." Leon kissed D before he could say more. Leon sat D on the bed so that he could undress. D arranged himself and pulled Leon to him as soon as he was bare. "Make it go away."

"I'll kiss every inch of you...the last memory you will have will be of me kissing every inch of you." Leon said, he was amazed that D had managed to appear as if he were perfectly fine, even though he obviously was not. His haughty demeanor for the rest of the evening had all been an act. Leon smiled and proceeded to kiss and lick his way across D's smooth as silk body.

Leon could not catch his breath. He was beyond exhausted. Usually it was him that kept them up all night. For some reason he could not satisfy D, as soon as they finished he would practically beg for more. Leon was worried as D's bottom was now a pinkish shade with several of Leon's hand prints covering it. "Leon..." D hissed and raked his nails down Leon's back. Leon grabbed D's wrist and held his hands above his head with one hand he held the delicate appendages. D moaned and arched his back, Leon sighed and took himself in hand, after this he was afraid it would not work properly. He entered D and kissed him as he moaned loudly. Leon would be amazed if Chris did not expect one of them to be dead come morning. As he continued to pound D he feared that he would be the one that was dead. Did D not realize that he was only mortal? He needed rest, sleep, and maybe if he were lucky...Food.

He was close, and from the sound of D's labored breathing he was too. D gasped and Leon felt him go slack. He moved to withdraw and D sighed. Leon looked down at him and sighed with relief, D was fast asleep. Leon carefully lied down beside D and fell into exhaustion. He was calling in sick to work tomorrow...Leon looked out the window and saw the sun rising. Fine, he thought... He was calling in sick today.
