Chapter Two: Skeletal Lily

We are not naïve enough to ask for pure men; we ask merely for men whose impurity does not conflict with the obligations of their job. -Jean Rostand

"You look bored."

Kidoko looked up at the girl staring at her before giving a huff. "I am bored. There's nothing to do when you are all working and no one wants drinks."

Anita laughed, sliding onto a barstool, pulling down her skirt. "Then get out of here, go out, have fun. I can cover the bar. I'm off anyway and you haven't taken a day off in two weeks."

Kidoko sighed, before pushing up off the table. "Alright, tell Bodie?"

"Not a chance, I'm hiding from her." Anita smacked Kidoko's ass as the girl passed her, before climbing over the bar and pouring herself a Gin and Tonic, leaning on the bar herself, propping up her breasts with her arms. An hour later, a red-headed man stepped out of Kidoko's room, waving to Anita who was flirting with a patron, before heading out of the building.

It was a short walk to Konosuke Eden's favorite club, the time spent wisely getting money for the club, easily slipping wallets from the milling drunks around him. He sighed, removing the yen from the wallets before tossing them in a can he passed, not bothering to count it out. Pickpocketing wasn't the same as stealing priceless gems under a dead man's name, but it was just as easy, plus wallets were easier to get rid of then ancient gemstones.

Eden flashed his ID at the bouncer at the door, not that it was needed as the man had already nodded him in on sight. The red head blended into the smoke covered crowd, allowing the beats of the music vibrating up from the floor to flow through him, relaxing his body.

--

"Come on, it's my turn to pick and I chose dancing." Kaito said, smiling up at his lover, the neon lights of the club reflecting off his hair and the metal studs on his armbands.

Saguru sighed, wrapping his arms around Kaito's waist, leaning down slightly to kiss his boyfriend's lips. "You're an annoying brat and you're no longer allowed to choose what we're doing for date night."

"Yes I am! We need something in our lives other then the opera and Mozart." Kaito said, sticking out his tounge before walking backwards as the line moved closer to the door. He turned around long enough to offer his ID to the bouncer before walking backwards again, pulling Saguru along as they were waved into the club.

He finally released Saguru's waist, taking the blond's hand as he headed for the bar, eager to get drunk and hyper...and maybe laid if Saguru got drunk enough.

--

Eden smiled at the boy who was pressed against him, leaning down for a kiss before pulling away and vanishing back into the crowd, turning his mind from the now confused boy as he ordered a drink, glancing over the rest of the patrons of the club, wondering if there was anyone here worth his time.

--

"I'm horny," Kaito purred in Saguru's ear, nibbling on the lobe in front of his mouth before turning backwards against Saguru's body, drawing the blond's left hand up to his mouth, sucking lightly on Saguru's index finger. "Can't we have fun yet?"

Saguru smiled, leaning down to nuzzle Kaito's neck. "Fine, pick out your prey."

"Mmm, already done." Kaito whispered, turning back around and wrapping his arms around Saguru's neck, pressing up against the blond. "Over my left shoulder, red-headed, at the bar."

Saguru kissed Kaito's ear, glancing in the direction the brunette indicated, spotting the only red-head in sight. "Nice," Saguru purred, eyes roaming over the figure. "Go fetch," Saguru teased, releasing his lover who made a face at him before slipping into the crowd, giving his hips an extra wiggle to tease his boyfriend.

By the time Kaito arrived at the bar, the red-head had vanished back into the crowd of dancers and Kaito cursed, ordering a drink from the bartender. When the man handed it to him, Kaito leaned over, holding out the bartender's tip. "The red-head that was just here, do you know him?"

"Eden?" The bartender snorted, taking the tip. "Don't even think about it, you're not his type. Eden only goes for blond's or...younger men."

"Really," Kaito said, before turning away from the bar, chewing on his straw. "I can work with that."

--

Eden leaned over, the white powder on the table disappearing through the straw easily. He leaned back, passing the straw to the girl next to him, before cleaning out his nose with a bit of saline solution his friend handed him, leaning in for a kiss, a hint of smoke and something else flavoring it.

He leaned back, allowing the lights and music to help him on his rush. He blinked as he spotted a blond on the floor and smiled, turning to eye the ever famous detective, licking his lips. The blond looked at him and cocked his head towards the door and Eden smiled more, slipping from the booth, not bothering to make his good-bye's as he headed for the back hall.

--

Kaito grinned as Saguru got their prey in the back hall, downing his drink and following, watching as Saguru whispered in the red-head's ear and the red-head nodded, consenting to their act. The red-head then kissed Saguru hungrily, allowing himself to be pushed against the wall, Saguru's hands roving over the red-head's body.

Kaito groaned as he watched them, leaning against the wall across from them, a hand sliding down to un-button and un-zip his leather pants, stroking himself as he watched his boyfriend attack Eden's neck, Saguru's own hand going down to un-zip the other man's jeans, reaching inside to stroke Eden.

Kaito licked his lip as the red-head moaned, watching hungrily, drinking in each flutter of the red-head's eyelashes and arch of his hips. Eden thrust eagerly into Saguru's hand, gripping the blond's hips tightly. Kaito shifted for a better viewing position as Saguru pulled back, un-doing his own pants before fishing out a condom and packet of lube, allowing Eden to remove his own pants as he prepared himself. He then lifted the slighter man, hooking one leg high over his hips as he reached under the other man, Eden gave a hop, hooking his other leg around the other side of Saguru's waist, shifting a bit so that Saguru could reach easier, groaning as Saguru slid the first finger in.

Kaito slowed on his stroking, not wanting to finish before they even began, torn between wanting to join in, and just enjoying the view. He slid down the wall to sit on the floor, shifting again so he had the full view, moaning as he looked up the other men's bodies, licking his lips in appreciation.

By now, Saguru had sheathed himself into Eden, adjusting the other man in his arms before pulling back and thrusting deeper into the man, causing him to moan. Saguru set a hard, rough pace as he thrust into Eden, biting the red-head on the neck and shoulder as he pushed into him, the encouraging moans from his partner fueling him deeper, faster.

He couldn't remember any other partner except Kaito and Kiden driving him this insane, but this stranger drove him to the brink, making Saguru want to tear him apart in his passion. His partners, for no matter who he was with, Kaito was always a participant, groaned in unison, Saguru's name spilling from Eden's lips in a whisper as he came, the sounds of cursing behind him a clear indicator Kaito did as well.

Saguru grinned, slightly madly as he shifted Eden, driving even harder into the man, hissing a few thrusts later as he came, pressing Eden hard against the wall as he all but collapsed against him.

--

Eden closed his eyes as Saguru pressed against him, blond hair tickling his cheeks as the blond's breath brushed against his neck. He tried to resist, but found himself inhaling deeply, the scent of pine, rose and a scent that was Saguru's musky own filling him, making his heart ache.

He never could resist Saguru, he knew that from the first moment he saw him out of Kaito's eyes to the moment he walked away from the burning building that killed Rum. That was one of the reasons he choose a life so far from his other's, from Saguru. The only way he ever saw the blond was through magazines or TV interviews, which was just how he wanted it.

Because he didn't think he was strong enough to walk away a second time.

His eyes opened and he looked over Saguru's shoulder, staring at the other half of his heart, his soul as Kaito tried to clean off his vinyl vest, the rest of his heart that Saguru didn't break falling into tiny shards. Every atom in his body cried out for Kaito, needing to touch, to feel, to know that that was Kaito, right there, with him.

Eden couldn't reach out, and he had to clench his fingers in Saguru's shirt to keep from doing it against his will, nails digging into his own flesh even through the silk. All he needed now was Conan or Akako and Eden would crumble completely.

Taking a breath, he un-locked his legs, wobbling slightly as he tried to stand and pull up his pants, staring at the stained cement floor in order to not look at either man. He moved around Saguru, zipping up before walking away, his heart and brain screaming at each other as he vanished back through the velvet curtain. He walked past his friends calling for him and out in the cold night, pulling a crumpled pack of cigarettes from his jacket and lighting one, taking a deep drag. He stared up at the night sky above him, tears staining his cheeks, reflecting in the moonlight. Eden heard laughter behind him and hit a wall next to him, ignoring the pain in his knuckles as he cursed, throwing himself against the wall, sobbing.

"Dust underneath the mistletoe leaves when you’re not here, you went away upon boxing day,
Now how the hell am I gonna make it into the New Year. Christmas time, don’t let the bells end." Akako sang drunkenly, swaying slightly in the bath tub, almost slipping off the seat before giggling and grabbing the bottle of wine next to the tub, wincing as it clinked against the other bottles, eying it for a moment before pressing it to her lips and tilting her head back, allowing the wine to flow into her mouth...and down her body.

"It's not even Christmas," Conan said from the doorway where he watched his girlfriend, pushing his glasses up his nose. "That was last week."

"Doesn't matter, he's still gone." Akako said. "Cheers." She went to take another drink, only to find the bottle missing. Conan dumped took a sip of the wine before dumping it down the sink. He pulled off his shirt and reached into the tub, pulling the drain.

Akako grabbed the waistband of his jeans and pulled him close, kissing him, only instead of of a romantic gesture, she kissed as if she were trying to drink the wine from his mouth. Conan pulled away, pressing on her chest to keep her from trying to get at him again, fumbling for a towel with his other hand.

"Come on, Akako, time to go to bed."

"Nuh huh, having fun."

"Fun is not retarding our child while you mope," Conan said, dropping the towel on her head. "Now stand up."

"Don't wanna."

Conan sighed, pulling off his glasses and rubbing his eyes. "Please, Akako."

"Nope."

"You're not the only one who misses him!" Conan suddenly snapped before clamping his teeth together, biting back anything else he had to say. He stood and left the bathroom, returning in a moment with Saguru who ignored Akako's protest, lifting the naked witch out of the tub and carrying her to Conan and her bedroom, dropping her on the bed before leaving, ruffling Conan's hair as he did.

Conan started at his drunk and depressed girlfriend before pulling off his wet pants and climbing into the bed next to her, pulling her into his arms as she started to cry.

"It's...interesting." Kaito said, staring around the dusty, wall paper stained office, blinking. "A bit Noir but..."

"It'll look different after renovations." Saguru said, grinning like a maniac at the office. "Once I get it painted, get the wires upgraded for Internet and phones, get a secretary..."

"Better be female," Kaito said, eying his boyfriend with a smile. He spotted a rickety desk left from the previous tenets and grinned. He crossed over to the wooden object, running his finger over the dust covered surface. "You know, Saguru..."

"We're not having sex on the desk to christen my new office," Saguru said, not even looking up at Kaito as he measured a wall to see if his filing cabinets would fit.

Kaito pouted, crossing his arms over his chest. "You didn't complain at the house...or the lab."

"We do not have sex where I work."

"Police station."

"You're killing the dream, Kaito." Saguru turned and regarded his pouting lover, smiling. "I promise, when I get home, we'll play detective and client."

Kaito cheered up, crossing over to Kaito and wrapping his arms around Saguru's neck, smiling. "I'm really happy for you, Saguru. It may not be Scotland Yard, but this is ten times better."

Saguru smiled and bent down for a kiss when the office door burst open, kicking dust high into the air. Nakamori ignored their position, waving a plastic wrapped paper wildly around. "We have a heist note!"

"Heist...note?" Kaito said, blinking as if the words were unfamiliar, memories of his past coming back to smack him in the face.

"We get them occasionally, particularly around the anniversary." Saguru said, releasing Kaito. "Fans, rivals...people trying to get a name. They crawl out of the wood work around his death, trying to imitate him."

"That's sick," Kaito said, disgusted and a bit aggravated, his old instincts to protect 'the name' rising up.

Saguru shrugged. "Usually amatures, easily caught. Not to mention, using his name is a high crime now, as people still want someone to prosecute for his crimes. There has been more then one suspect that almost got tried in his stead." At this, Saguru turned to Nakamori, curious. "Why did you come all the way down here with it, it's not un-usual, we had one last week."

"This one, you may want to read." Nakamori said, handing the paper to Saguru.

Saguru read it over once, then again more slowly, before cursing. Kaito blinked and took the paper, looking at it, his anger growing as he read the words.

Ten and eight, two and seven:

otoshidama are out again.

Tonight the bells welcome

shigoto-hajime.

Factor in the fortune of

the undying sun;

Though heavy snows yet loom

with their cutting wind,

Lengthening days assure spring

comes to the beneficiary.

I hope for your company again

in the coming year.

"I'm going to kill whomever this is. First I'm going to strangle them, then I'm going to peel their eyes from their skull with a rusty spoon, then I'm going.."

"Ugh, can yous top?" Akako said, looking rather green, fighting the urge to vomit the more graphic her boyfriend got. She lost the battle and promptly ducked behind a dumpster, vomiting, the Investigative Two unit taking bets onto how long she'd take, with the members who were parent's betting around a minute or more.

Conan winced and went to comfort his girlfriend while Kaito surveyed the scene, trying to pick out who could be the thief and maybe save the trouble of going through with this farce. He spotted a red-head in the crowd and nudged Saguru who glanced over and smirked, remembering the man from the club. He leaned close to whisper in Kaito's ear when the world exploded into confetti and smoke.

Coughing, he covered his mouth with his sleeve, looking around. High on the tip of the roof of the estate that was the target of the night, stood a white clad figure, the moonlight visible behind him, siloetting him. A cry exploded from the crowd and the figure gave a slight bow, tipping his hat to the crowd before jumping from the roof, disappearing in a puff of white smoke.

Saguru and the rest of the team went running while Kaito followed at a slower pace. He wondered who would dare use his other's name, especially when mocking the man's death. He rubbed at his chest at the pang of loss that occurred when he thought of Kiden, before slipping into the house, following Nakamori's shouts.

Before Kaito could turn the corner into the gallery where the gem was, another smoke screen erupted and Kaito found himself in a hallway, blinking at the man before him. Blue eyes, monocle, too white to be true suit...Kaito had an irrational urge to slug the stranger wearing his 'uniform'. A gloved hand reached out, touching Kaito's face, before the man leaned in, pressing his lips against Kaito's hard.

A shout came from behind him and the stranger vanished through a window at the end of the hall, laughter trailing after him that left Kaito's heart aching. Kaito ran to the window, watching the thief disappear into the crowd, eyes searching for him, desperate to find and un-mask the impostor, only to loose track as the cops converged on the crowd from the rest of the grounds. A hand touched his shoulder and Kaito whipped around, eyes wide. Saguru looked down at him sadly, before gathering Kaito into his arms. Kaito then noticed he was crying, and clung to Saguru, wondering what was going on.

Gee...I wonder if my imagination is correct. Or maybe I'm just hoping.
Besides, Rum's offer from the boss had several loopholes in it. I really can't imagine Kiden risking an appearance. He may show up on the scene, for much the same reason that Kaito is angry at the 'fake' Kid's appearance.
Of course, it does make you wonder why that Kid is showing up now. It would make more sense if it was eight years later (similar to the previous 'disappearance'). Then again... who knows what sort of connections are going on. After all, that organization isn't dead (and I can't remember, but is Vermouth still around in this story?)
The only thing to take the cake now, is if you make Akako go through a miscarriage and it turns out that Conan can't really have children (they develop some of the way, but then that's it) because of that APTX-whatever that shrunk him into a kid.

Sorry, for some reason traumatic things keep on coming to mind.
Hopefully you write more soon!

*laughs* well, let's get this out of the way right now, Akako will give birth either in the middle or the end of the story to a bouncing baby boy. She's currently five monthes pregnant now, so she has about five monthes to go.

I have no way to comment on anything else without revealing small strings of the plot that if tied together reveal everything sooo, yeah.
