Lies, Sex, and Genes... Part 24
'A' was sitting at the old desk, looking over the newest statistics of people in favor for their cause. He knew night was fading away and he longed for the silken embrace of his temperamental lover and the passioned-filled glazed brown eyes and was getting hard just thinking about it. However, he had businesses and a group to run and he could not afford to enter those arms right now or he could miss something crucial that would cost him and others dearly.
However, everthing would change when Demon entered weerily. Golden-eyes barely glanced up, but when they did, he did a double-take. To anyone else, Demon would appear expressionless, especially behind those black sunglasses he always wore to cover the red hue of his eyes. But 'A' was instantly able to note the barely- visible furrowing of the brow and slight furrowing of the lips to indicate Demon had information that would possibly upset him.
"Yes?" 'A' asked.
Demon shifted his body weight onto his other leg. "Um... boss... the kid has escaped..."
'A' immediately rose out of his chair, panic gripping him as his mother's words echoes in his head. 'You must be cautious for if he were to leave you, your soul will be in unbareable pain and you would die.' "HE COULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN FAR! SEARCH THE GROUNDS!"
"Yes sir!" Demon said, running (a truly rare sight to see but then again the boss had never been this angry before) to fullfill his task and 'A' transformed into a hawk and searched by air. After five minutes, the eyes of the hawk narrowed on a swinging object to the right of the large manor and he descended, relieved when he confirmed that it was indeed Akihito swinging back and forth slowly on the old swing his father, who he knew was probably forced by his mother, had given him for Christmas when he was five. The sigh of relief came out as a screech as the beautiful form he had taken descended and began to return to his human form, the normal sickening yet soft sound of bones growing and reforming in the span of sixty seconds ringing in his ears.
In his naked human form, he approached the boy swinging on the swing set from behind, watching his pajama-clad lover do the repetitive action for another span of a minute as his relief gradual returned to anger. How DARE this boy leave the safety of his room and play in the early hours of the morning like a child! He approached closer and reached out a strong hand and stopped the metal's progess. Brown eyes turned to his in some shock, but not as much as he would have liked. If Akihito acted like a naughty child, then he would be treated as such. "Just. What. Did. You. Think. You. Were. Doing?" 'A' asked through clenched teeth.
Brown eyes narrowed right back in anger although soft cheek were stained with a slight blush at 'A' 's nudity. "I thought I was actually enjoying outside for the first time in weeks!"
"Did you think you would have gotten far in your little escape?"
"Escape?" Akihito asked in confusion.
"What do you call sneaking out when most are asleep?" 'A' asked.
Akihito's knuckles went white as he gripped the cold metal of the swing's chains for strength. "A little bit of freedom! Perhaps it would have been better to be captured by the Snakes! It is better to die than to live life as a prisoner!"
"Prisoner? Your every wish is given. You have games, snacks like that disgusting pock..."
"A gilded cage is still a cage," Akihito stated bitterly, as he turned slightly away, the incline of his head making the image of 'A' 's mother flash before his eyes.
'A' froze, though he naturally hid it. Had.. had he been doing what his father had done to his mother?
Akihito didn't notice and whispered, "Why me?" A tear ran silently down his young face as he continued, "Why would you want someone like me? You had Fire and he was the most beautiful man I had ever seen. So why did you choose me?"
'A' was silent. After a minute in silence he changed the subject, "So you were not escaping?"
Akihito nodded. "I don't even know where here is so how could I?"
'A' nodded. "I will see about an escort at times when you wish to leave your room."
Akihito nodded slightly in gratitude and allowed 'A' to guild him back to the manor after Demon had fetched the pile of clothes Asami had left in the office.
Meanwhile... Hong Kong
Puppy hesitantly entered the kind man's room, approaching the bed where the man slumbered and flinched when he saw the man stir. This man was special to Fire-sama and 'Uncle' Yan had said that the man on the bed was his grandfather when he thought Puppy was not listening. Eavesdropping and sneaking silently into places had been skills he had picked up when he was still living one the streets before Fire- sama had rescued him so that he would know the intent of people coming towards his hiding place and to know when was the most opportune time to steal food. Now he would use those skills to help Fire-sama, but he would need the help of someone else as well.
Dark eyes blinked hesistantly as the man began to awake as if sensing the presence of the tiny boy in the room. Puppy watched, his heart pounding in his chest, as the dark eyes wandered before finding him and a warm smile displayed even more wrinkles on the man's face as he reached a machine-hooked hand towards him. "So I was not dreaming all this then. Come here."
Puppy came slightly forward.
"Are... are you truly my dear Feilong's son?"
Puppy bit his lip and slightly nodded. "He calls me his son, yes."
Wise dark eyes twinkled in understanding. "So he adopted you?"
Puppy nodded ever-so-slightly.
"I does not matter. You are a child of his heart as he is of mine."
Puppy's eyes widened. "He was adopted?"
"Yes, but you must not tell anyone."
Puppy nodded in understanding. "So you really love Fire-sama?"
"Yes."
"Even...even if he were a mutant?"
Tears gleamed in the old man's eyes. "Is that what he has been hiding from me?"
Puppy nodded.
"He is my son, no matter what."
"Good because we need your help..."

A/N: Sorry it took so long and this was so short, but between school and boyfriend (now-ex) issues, I lost my muse. I hope I found it again! Once again, sorry to all my loyal viewers and I will try to update again soon.
