Ricochet: Part 2

 

Dee leaned over and brushed his hands through the lush honey colored locks. “You know I love you.”

“Wakatta... Dee, Aishiteru.” Ryo said and sighed. “Zutto.” Ryo sighed and leaned his head against Dee's stomach. “Even if forever is today.”

Dee sniffled and looked at the leader of the cartel. “Keys,” He said and held his hand out. “If you want us to do this right, get me the keys so I can uncuff him.” The leader laughed and tossed Ryo's keys over. Dee leaned down and pulled Ryo's pants up and freed his hands.

“Koi,” Ryo said and Dee perked up, whenever Ryo called him that, it was serious. “Leon and Count D will take the boys, all the legal documents are in place.” Ryo ran his hand over Dee's leg and felt the gun strapped there and smiled.

“Make sure you get the head baby.” Dee said and got to his knees in front of Ryo. He ran his hands through Ryo's baby soft hair and pulled his face close. “I love you so much...” Dee kissed Ryo. Soft at first but building up until his world was centered on Ryo's pliant lips and open mouth. The cheers were ignored, the gun fire outside the club was ignored. The only important thing to either of them was the pressing lips and questing tongue invading their mouths. Dee pulled back and wiped tears from his eyes.

“Yeah, bend that little pretty boy over and show us how it's done!” The jeers were heard but Ryo ignored them as he felt up Dee's leg and took the safety off of Dee's spare gun.

Leon felt a bullet whiz past his ear and he swore and brought his gun up to return the fire. “JJ,” Leon called in between shots. “See if you can get around and line up a shot inside.”

“It's too risky, I might hit Ryo and Dee.” JJ said and slumped down behind the barricade to reload his weapon.

“I'm hit,” Ted yelled and fell over holding his right shoulder.

“Medic...” Leon said into his microphone. “Officer down!” Berkeley ran over to the spot that Ted had vacated. Jeremy wanted to cough the acrid smell of gun powder and blood was so heavy in the air. He stared from behind the barricade and watched the powerful man he loved as he fired round after round at the drug dealers.

“Stats on the situation!” A feminine voice was heard on Leon's walkie talkie. Leon looked down and the words were repeated.

“Andy!?” Leon exclaimed. “Andy is that you?”

“Negative,” The voice replied. “The High Princess should be coming around the corner, warning, she is pissed. This is Clarisande here. Do you need assistance?”

“Affirmative, but be warned, non-commissioned officers are on the premises.” Leon said warning the Arcadians not to use their powers.

“10-4, foot soldiers will be there to assist, and get you inside.” Clarisande said and she could be heard over the wire giving orders. “Stats on Ryo and Dee?” She asked Leon sighed and confirmed that he did not know.

“What the hell do you mean non-commissioned officers?” Berkeley demanded with a irate scowl as he reloaded his gun.

“Simply put commissioner, you are not in league with the Arcadian court.” JJ filled in for Leon had turned to greet Andy and the horde of uniformed men that marched onto the field. Nestoir stood beside his wife and began to load an impressive rifle. Berkeley paused to appreciate the weapon before Nestoir brought it to his shoulder and fired.

“Two hours back in LA and we find you guys in shit up to your ears.” Nestoir complained as he fired another shot. He smiled when he heard the scream of the man he had hit. “Little D woke up by the way and his grand father had to practically sit on him to keep him from coming down here. By the way,” Nestoir paused and reloaded his rifle. “How did he get meat?”

“Like I know!” Leon exclaimed.

“Hey guys, don't you think the pleasantries should wait until after Dee and Ryo are at the shop safely having tea.” Andy said and Berkeley was amazed that the bit of singing, feminine fluff was a perfect aim with her hand gun. “What are you looking at?” She demanded with a frown. “Just because I'm a princess, you think I can't handle a gun?” She demanded and emptied her clip before reloading with an efficiency and grace that Berkeley could not hope to emulate.

“Pull it back,” Nestoir said with out turning to look at his wife knowing instinctively that her eyes were beginning to glow. Andy took several calming breathes before she raised her weapon and began to fire. “Troop one, shields up, make a path. You officers get ready to go in and bring 'em out.” Nestoir said and JJ nodded as he pulled several guns out of his bag and loaded them. Leon did the same. A group of officers from the precinct followed suit and lined up behind the Arcadian soldiers.

“JJ we are going to need a sharp shooter inside, I am sure that Ryo has been disarmed.” Leon said and began to run in the clear path the soldiers made. He kicked the door in and threw a smoke bomb inside sparing a moment to pray that they were not too late.

Ryo pulled the gun up wondering at the louder shots he could hear coming towards the club. “Enough of this, either you bend that fag over or we will!” The leader yelled and Ryo took a deep breath before he turned around and shot the Leader in the chest. He knew the wound was painful, but not fatal and he smiled as the gang took a moment to realize what had just happened before they all raised their guns. Ryo began to fire off several more shots, killing some but knowing that soon either he and Dee would both be dead. His only consolation was that there was no way for the bastards to escape, the cops had the club surrounded on all sides. Ryo closed his eyes as the last bullet left the gun and he wrapped his arms tightly around Dee and waited for oblivion.

Dee shoved Ryo underneath his body and shielded him as much as possible. He felt a slug enter his leg and he cried out, knowing that soon he would be riddled. Smoke soon surrounded him and his eyes stung. “Dee!...” Ryo would know that annoying scream anywhere. “Ryo!” The voice called again.

“JJ!” Dee called and sat up all he could see was smoke. He heard coughing and looked down to see a bruise growing on the side of Ryo's head and the sluggish trickle of blood. Dee heard shots fired and he struggled to his feet pulling Ryo behind him before he started to run as fast as his bleeding leg would allow him. Ryo gasped and stumbled as the bullets flew all around them. “Come on Baby, the calvary is here.” Dee urged and pulled Ryo behind him. He ran blindly towards the sounds of the large rifle reports knowing it was JJ and his sharpshooters weapon. He tripped and looked up to see Leon pulling him to his feet. “I'm hit, and I think Ryo is too.” Dee looked back and gasped his horror as Ryo's entire left side was covered in blood and he weaved on his feet. “Oh no... Oh Baby,” Dee cried out and pulled Ryo close to him, he struggled under the weight, but he managed to pull Ryo free of the club and smoke. As they made it outside, they were greeted with salutes from the Arcadian soldiers.

“We need help, they are both wounded!” JJ called and fired shots covering their trail as they rushed Ryo to the waiting ambulance. Dee's hands were shaking as he ripped the shirt from his lover and saw the hole that had ripped through his side. “It's a through and through, the blood is clear, doesn't look like the slug hit anything vital, but we should get to a hospital soon.” JJ said and gasped when he saw the blood falling freely from Dee's thigh. “You get in there too, you need to have that looked at.” Dee nodded numbly and got into the ambulance with Ryo. The other officers could see to the rest, he had to see about his baby.

As the smoke cleared Berkeley walked among the debris of the club taking pictures of the fallen criminals and the remains of the bar. He found the leader in his expensive suit wheezing on the ground surrounded by his fallen comrades. “I wonder why Ryo let you live.” He said as he knelt and smiled before he began to read him his rights finishing with. “And if you can not afford a lawyer, i will make sure to get you one that failed the bar at least eight times. But I bet you can afford a lawyer can't you?” The leader spat at Berkeley's feet and Berkeley laughed as the man was hauled up and his wounds jerked cruelly as he was dragged off to a secure ambulance where he could be treated before being hauled off to prison. Berkeley looked over and saw Jeremy staring at him with wide-eyed admiration. “Case closed.” He said and walked out in to the streaming sunshine.

Bikky paced in the hospital waiting room and glared at the nurse. No matter how much he had swore and argued, as long as he was not sixteen, they were not letting him back there. “He's my dad!” Bikky yelled at the nurse. She gave him a disbelieving look.

Andy ran into the hospital with a frantic look on her face. “Bikky!” She called and grasped his shoulder. “Where's Ryo and Dee?”

“Back there,” Ryo pointed and sniffled. “But they won't let me in. I told them he was my dad but...” Ryo began but the nurse interrupted with a smile.

“I am so sorry Ma'am, you and your son can go back there.” The nurse grinned at the obviously mixed boy mistakingly assuming that Andy was his mother if Ryo was his father. Nestoir stepped up to correct the mistake, but Andy shook her head and took Bikky's hand and followed the nurse in to see about her friends.

Leon was pacing back and forth while Dee sat with a pair of crutches beside him. He scowled as he waited for Ryo to come out of surgery. “Dee!” Bikky cried out and flung his arms around him. “What's going on with Ryo?”

“He is coming out of surgery any minute, they had to stitch him up from and back.” Dee answered still angry that Ryo had been hit at all. “I tried to cover him,” Dee said and felt stinging moisture behind his eyes. “I tried to take the fire and keep him safe for you guys.” Dee said and Bikky reached up with a shaking hand to wipe the tears from Dee's face.

“None of that now,” Andy said softly and sat next to Dee who had refused to sit in a recovery room instead choosing to wait outside Ryo's hospital room. He had also refused the pain medication, wanting to be lucid when his lover woke up. “No one is to blame for the criminal acts of another.” Andy would have said more the doctor came out of the room with a smile on his face.

Dee struggled to his feet and met the man halfway. “How is he?” He asked as he balanced on one crutch and grimaced through the pain that arched up his leg and made his spine tingle.

“He'll make a full recovery.” The doctor said and smiled at the sigh of relief. So rarely did he hear those when he got wounded officers on his operating table. “Fragments of his shirt got pulled in with the bullet as it made it's way through his body. We got the cloth out and stitched him up.” The doctor Shook Dee's hand. “I am sure he will want to see you when he wakes up. You're partners right?” He asked taking in Dee's anxious expression. He recognized pure love when he saw it. He smiled as Dee leaned on Bikky and hobbled into the room. Andy smiled at the doctor before she went back to the waiting room to her husband who was explaining that Bikky was indeed Ryo's son and not his wife's.”

Leon trudged into the shop and collapsed beside D on the bed. He pulled the pliant form into his arms and smiled at how warm D felt pressed against him. Count D opened his eyes and turned over. “JJ stopped by on his way home.” Count D said and wrapped his arms around Leon in a tight embrace. “He said Ryo and Dee will both pull through.” D sighed and nuzzled Leon's warm, freshly showered neck.

“Yeah... How do you feel?” Leon asked and rubbed his hand over D's stomach.

“Starving, but Grand father said I can not eat until tomorrow.” D sighed and leaned heavily against Leon. “Leon-Kun,” D said with a puzzled frown as he stared at Leon through the darkness.

“Yeah sweetheart.” Leon said and stroked the soft skin of D's cheek.

“Who would know that meat could kill me?” Count D asked in a small voice. Leon shrugged and held D close feeling a shiver run up his spine at the unknown menace.

“No one I know.” He said thinking of Hamanosuke Nimuri with a shudder of revulsion.

“Just as I thought.” Count D said wondering what kind of fiend would poison him so maliciously.

“I knew you guys...” Leon began and rubbed the goose flesh from D's thin arms. “You Kami's were vegetarians, but I had no idea that meat could kill you.” Leon said and held D tighter wishing he could keep him safe from whatever monster was knocking on their door this time.

“Our digestive tract is not made like the humans, or the angels. We are more plant like in our organs. It is how I was able to change to accommodate our child. We synthesize everything we intake, there is nothing that is wasted. Or did you not notice?” D asked with a blush and Leon could not help but think back over the years he had known Count D. Never once had he seen him use a toilet for anything other than purging when he was pregnant.

“Huh ...” Was the best Leon could come up with. Count D was too tired to laugh at Leon's astonishment. He simply lay his head against Leon and went to sleep.

Dee smiled as he stretched out his leg in the bed beside Ryo careful not to jostle the tubes and I V's that were in his love's arm. “Dee,” Ryo wheezed and Dee sat up slow in his own pain still refusing the pain pills. He held over a cup of water with a straw in it and Ryo sipped grateful of the moisture that his parched mouth and throat.

“Hey baby.” Dee siad with a wry grin on his face. He melted into Ryo's dark eyes and smiled. “Looks like we made it.” He said and Ryo nodded silently as he fell in love with Dee all over again looking into those deep, clear, green eyes.

“Yeah,” he said with a soft smile as Dee kissed his lips. “We made it.”
