Chapter one: Time flows…
Leon fiddled around with his gun parts. He had dissembled the entire gun to clean and oil it properly. All three months he went through this habit of his. His coworkers did mostly smirk or shake their heads when seeing him working on his hobby.
For Leon, this meant he was brooding again and could not find a way through his thoughts any other way.
At first he had chased the elusive Kami all over the globe even caught up to D for a few times almost. Then, one sunny day in the middle of Bangkok the blond had snapped. Throwing his meager belongings down onto the sidewalk, Leon had broken out in such an fool mouthed rant that the authorities had been called to make him move away in the end.
One of them had a relative that was a monk and had brought Leon straight to the older gentleman to set his head right.
Well, the old man had succeeded where D had always failed. After nearly staying for half a year there at that smallish temple, Leon had learned more as he had ever with D, the Kami. He had not changed his religion in a matter of speaking, Leon had just learned more about gods and demons, what others called Kami or spirits and animals that were called myths in the modern world. Even now, nearly seven years later the once again cop often exchanged mails with the old man.
The old priest had mourned the fact that Leon did remember so damn much.
It had stunted Leon as he had called it. Made him a different being in the end, had ruined him for a normal life. Leon had needed that half a year to come to terms with that information. In the end it had proven to be truth. The simply, fucking truth. Leon hated it and loved it at the same time. He had needed far longer to settle back into his old live. In a matter of speaking, his new experiences aided him day in, day out.
On his job he now held the highest catching rate of criminals in history for his age.
The FBI, and other intuitions had asked for his assistance increasingly in the last years. His nose for trouble was famous in the underworld as well as in the courts. He never now missed any details on a crime scene and so on. His paycheck thanked this to Leon each month with having positive numbers now instead of the big minus from before.
To write black numbers instead of red ones had made him feel better in a way, not having cared for money much before but having learned with the last years that it could help you a big deal sometimes.
Now a large amount of his money Leon did spend on children's helping groups as well as on some animal rescue groups like the WWF or others. He had gotten a nice flat with the secret help of a coworker in the upper class parts of LA, with a breathtaking sight over the ocean. In exchange the now captain had helped with the security systems and to select the right men and woman for the jobs. He still checked every half year on them in exchange for lower flat bills and it worked good for him. It helped Leon to not feel too claustrophobic as he felt often in the late.
Why he couldn't exactly explain either, only that it was so.
Right now his life, for once, was going a good way. He ought to keep it that way. The old man had promised him to somehow sent his picture of Chris to the elusive Kami with time. How the old guy wanted to do that was beyond Leon but puhlease! He did not even want to know. Better be ignorant, Leon thought. Only that the damn bastard got it was important… and then? What? He did not really know himself, did not even really care. Leon had done the unthinkable a year and a half back, he had gotten himself into the only bluster he had never wanted to get himself into.
Leon had a one nightstand with consequences with a prostitute.
With a young woman that he had not known for longer as a mere day. A prostitute with dubious background, he found that one out much later. Chinese origin and he had been drunker as a sailor in the old myths and legends that night. Now he had a barely one year old daughter that currently lived with him since shortly after her birth. The woman whose name he had never really learned had tried to abort the baby first but failed and had been admitted to the authorities in the end. Her *owner* had been caught and brought to jail…the entire event went as ugly as it could.
In the very finale, she had died giving birth by catching an rare ailment for woman after birth.
Irony wanted it that Leon had been the very one who had busted the meat ring and had caught the leader half a year before she gave birth. He never knew about his daughter until the children's care agency stood on his doorstep one day with a baby safe in one hand and a lots of papers in the other.
The rest had been a big shock for one Leon Orcrot.
Her late mother had not told anyone who the father was, that much the woman had kept to herself to safe his face, as Leon learned later. Knowing it had been him who had busted the ring and had freed her and many others and had nailed their tormentors and remembering him from that day. But in her diaries they had found his name and clues. That day they had shown him a warrant to appear before court and have a test.
It was positive as positive can get and Leon, found innocent of knowledge had become a father in under ten days, so to speak.
A single father in police service of one little Daiyu. Hearing her name for the first time had him first looking comically wide-eyed at the poor woman telling him and then had Leon sit down to laugh his ass of for nearly an full hour. Under the confused stares of everyone else besides Jill who had accompanied her former partner to this.
She understood his hilarity to some extent.
Daiyu begun with the letter D, simple as that. "I swear, Jill! The D's in the world are out to get me!" He told her finally calmed down a long while later. Little Daiyu simply blew raspberries at the pair and ignored them all. Now, nearly a full year later, Leon was surprised to find that he had taken rather easily to the changes in his life. Daiyu was his daughter and that was that for Leon. The first thing he had done was finding a good daycare center for his daughter and to pledge for a change in his schedules. He got both easily done. Now he worked only half days and spend the rest with working cases from home per internet. Had made taken study ours in different universities for becoming a profiler and was currently juggling a lot in his live. Still, he was happy in a sense. Daiyu was a mostly silent and easy child, only when getting hungry she could be a pest.
Oh well, he learned out of his mistakes early on.
At the moment, she learned to crawl what often lead to dangerous situations that had him swear to get grey hairs with her before his time! Like the one time when she had nearly robbed out of the large window in the living room. Going from bottom to the top of the room. After that he had secured the entire place up.
Now no window or door opened without his knowledge anymore. Neither did they stand open anymore. He had become so cautious of his daughters welfare that much that occasional checkers of the children's agencies were impressed. That Chris was going to life with him again in two weeks was another thing that Leon had to wrap his head around at first.
The younger brother of Leon had requested it, at court!
The story was short.
Their both elusive drunkard of a father had finally found his last brain cells back and had made a fuzz with a money hungry shark of a lawyer in order to get on the money their late mother had left in a trust fond for Christopher's education. Turned our, after weeks that his aunt and uncle had liberated the money years ago for a project of his uncle what in turn had the authorities now imprison him for theft, take away Chris from the family, and restrict their biological father from seeing Chris after reading his record of crimes, a live of drinking and playing and at the wish of Chris himself.
Saying that Leon wanted to kick his aunt and uncle was not even near to what he felt after getting that all out.
Not to mention that he wanted to wring the neck of his old man for abandoning their mother, twice and then go and do such a stunt on Chris! His cousins, the older and the younger one got so disgusted with their own family that the elder of the two requested to have her sister and moved away from their mother and father in the end. Being not old enough, another aunt took on both. She lived in Seattle, far enough away for both to have a halfway normal life again.
Both aunt and uncle now had to pay the money back to Chris and he had made the request to be placed into Leon's care. After a while thinking, they headed his plea since Leon had him in the past before too and seemingly had done a good job and cared very well for his daughter too.
Currently, one Leon Orcrot tried to rebuild his gun on his living room carpet.
Daiyu was asleep, the room for Chris ready, he was set… the damn gun made a fuzz as always!
With a curse the resisting piece of tech ended up behind the couch were Leon had thrown it in his anger and a few curses on its way. Luckily, Leon didn't wake Daiyu with his outburst. He hated it when something wasn't cooperating. Standing the blond stepped up to the balcony to step out and look over the ocean.
Outside he could hear the faint chirping of birds in the nearby park.
He often took Daiyu to it to walk long round with her there or to run with her baby sport carriage in one hand and a bottle of water in the other. Needless to say that many mothers noted the fit cop and father early on. Much to his chagrin.
He now learned that if he kept his temper in check, that he was fairly attractive.
Sad that it was too late now, Leon mused. Count D had ruined him for any other relationships in a matter of speaking forever. He had a hard time to come to terms with what the old guy in Bangkok had told him about his attractions to the Kami. What wasn't even unheard of, from the old guy's point of view. Only that Leon had escaped the outlaid snare was it actually.
He could have very well ended up as a mate or more so, dead.
The most humans dealing with deities such as the counts had died in the past. Vescar Howell had come to Leon's mind and had made him appreciate his luck to have escaped in a sense. At least, from such a fate D had spared him from. Narrowly as it had been, as he now realized it: much, much later. He had only talked with Jill about this all, up to now. She being the only person he did fully trust enough to not call him a lunatic and having seen enough to understand him at least a little.
She had given him the wisest advice he had gotten in many years: Stay away from anything remotely connected to D.
And Leon did. He stopped even thinking of him for a while, what helped Leon cope with it all in a way. Now, with time in between, Leon could tell that D had wanted him to chase him. so he could what in the end? Catch Leon? Having him catch D?
Catch each other?
Who knew, for all Leon had understood until now, he could have vanished from earth in the end and that thought made him shudder slightly. The old monk had made sure that Leon knew how dangerous his situation had grown in the end. He had nearly been lost in a sense of speaking. If D hadn't thrown him from the ship, he would have been kept there forever, or even be dead.
To never see Chris or Jill again? To live only surrounded by D's animals? Never to be free again, only living in the dark halls of that scary shop?
That had fast done the trick for Leon. He had snipped off the most treats of the weaver's carefully woven net and had gone the other way. The only sane thing to do at that time. He leaned angrily against the balustrade and scowled. He wasn't an animal that D could tame, damnit! He was a human being that needed fresh air, needed his freedom and his family and yes, his work too.
He was good at what he did. The records proved this daily to Leon.
He early on had recognized Daiyu's mother for what the poor prostitute had been. An outlet on his obsession on D. She had been slender looking, almost like a male. That had done the trick in his befuddled mind real fast. Now having their daughter to care for was humiliating him in a way. It also was healing him in many more ways to even name them all.
Daiyu reminded him that he was alive, breathing and still, Leon in the end.
Even being an accident, he loved her dearly already. Did show that everyday and did plan to do so for the rest of his days. With a sigh of defeat Leon closed his eyes and realized something that he had put off for a long time now. Had refused to accept and had ignored it with a passion bordering on insanity.
He had finally grown up.
The old monk had known about the D's and their work, as one could call it thus.
That knowledge alone had alarmed the old man so much that he had taken his time to explain Leon into what trouble he had nearly gotten himself into. He was it who had told Leon their story from another perspective. It was still mostly the same but with one important twist.
They had become vengeance deities after the murder of their fellow deities in the end. It certainly explained Papa D to Leon, alright. That one had gone nuts from his duty and his love for the agent in the very end. Hearing Leon's role in the Kami's dead the old monk had nearly fainted. All the more the better, he had told Leon after calming down again, that he had escaped the youngest of their race!
He would have become a price possession otherwise for them.
Someone that they would have used for their own purposes and changed until he would have become equally revengeful as the deities themselves. As a punishment for him and the humans they would have taken his humanity from Leon most likely and that was that. Better not knowing what else, Leon thought wryly to himself.
To meddle with the affairs of such beings never ended well for mortals, the old one had told Leon.
He knew this to be all too true. Had seen what D's pets had done to their customers and they to them in some cases. He knew, they could step back and be kind in some rare cases, the girl and her horse were a good example for this fact. But in other times, it mostly ended in an full blown disaster when a mortal crossed the path of an immortal like the D's.
Another girl, Monica came to Leon's mind and he bit his lip deep in thought.
That smile that day… he had always known it was a true one. D had really found pleasure in her end, but not for the thought of reasons, Leon now realized. Rather the deity had laughed at the irony and had been truly happy that the girl now could move on. And also that he had not to deal with her anymore, not because he had wanted her dead this time but simply because Monica wasn't what D had wanted nor needed in his life.
A lost soul, reborn over and over again. He had been glad that she had ended her journey of pain and short lives and was gone now.
It still shocked Leon thought. The utter carelessness as well the relieve he had seen in D's eyes that day. Plus the coldness that made Leon shiver until today. Standing directly in the sun as he did now.
All of it had been a kind of warning bell for Leon not to come to close to the deity that was D.
He wished now he had headed it in the past, Leon knew one day this all would come back to him and bite him in the ass! He just knew it. His instincts never failed him in his life before and would not do so now. This entire thing wasn't over and he feared the day the Kami would make up his bloody mind and come to check on him. When finding out that his supposed prey had simply shown him its hint legs a while ago and run the other way with all the speed it could muster.
Now Leon couldn't help to chuckle madly at his own trail of thoughts.
He bet his badge that D's face would be priceless if he ever found out that Leon had not done what he was supposed to do and for once, had taken an advice of D to the heart! Still laughing softly to himself, the highly decorated police officer went back inside and closed the doors securely before he went to warm up Daiyu's food for her when she woke up. Outside a pair of Doves watched the young man do his tasks with watchful eyes. To the world they both looked like birds, pretty ones at that. If seen with the eyes of other creatures the duo looked like a pair of beautiful young men, clothed in splendid garb of high quality and wearing each a ring of pure gold around one naked ankle.
One had grey hair the other white and both had wings of the same color.
To their surprise the detective noticed them almost immediately after they had land on his balcony and even went to give them some fine breadcrumbs and some water out. He had… grown, their Kami's detective, both noticed with wide eyes. Had become even more beautiful as before. Was more settled into his world and work and live. Successful even if one could take the hints from his current occupation and the stile of interior he had decorated his flat with.
And married and a father, from the looks of it!
Uh oh, both thought at the same time, their Kami would not like the last tidbit much, so much was sure. The baby girl was adorable and cute, both agreed on that. Having already, even as a little wee one, inherited the good looks of her father, the blue eyed little angel smiled with the innocence of a well cared for child at the surprised birds outside the big window frames.
What struck both speechless was the pesky fact that she had clear Asian features that blended rather beautifully with Leon's European ones.
Both shared a stunned look but couldn't help it in the end to smile back at the giggling child when Leon came over with her on the arm to show her the two beautiful birds on their balcony. She giggled and cooed and smiled widely at them the entire time Leon held her, both noticed the love that showed in his blue eyes when watching his little daughter.
There were two picture frames with a black ribbons around them on a nearby altar.
It was clearly Asian stile, an altar for deceased loved ones that many Asian cultures had in their houses. Onto it stood two frames, both showing woman. One was an old faded one with a younger Leon hugging an elderly woman that looked eerily like him. his mother both fast concluded and looked at the second one. It showed the picture of a maybe twenty something old woman.
Her face wasn't very feminine but still somewhat captivating and it showed clear lines that they could trace in that of the baby already too.
Suddenly both looked rather carefully around in Leon's rooms anew. Finding only traces of the man and the child in it both concluded fast that she was the mother and dead. Now the duo felt uncomfortable for thinking that this was a good thing, well for Leon it was. One never knew what D would have done to her for stealing what the Kami had marked as his.
Still, she had given Leon a child and for that she already had earned a kind of redemption, even D would have respected that. Both knew this too.
The girl, she would not be harmed, an extra price if anything. The little one would be safe with their caretaker. Hell, the animals would love to have the little one to cuddle and spoil given time. She was clearly a pure soul as the brash man that was her father was it and as Chris was it too. Both silently mused if it was something in that specific family line that turned out good souls? They did not know for sure but both agreed on it that it could be.
Their family was too uncommon for having it otherwise.
Cheer chance did not happen soo often in one family line to make such a vital point to the outside. They suspected that the woman on the picture with Leon had been a good soul too. She looked like it, even to them. Some smaller shoes in a corner made them aware that Leon lived with another child here. Not much else was to see but the bird men got curios.
Snooping around for a bit while flying from window to window they soon found the ready room for Chris next to the baby room and were astonished to find it furnished with many things that they recognized from Chris time spend inside the shops halls.
There was a basketball that the boy had been given on that Christmas looking well used. A gift from Leon of course. He had even gone and played it often with Chris in the park. Another death give away were the pictures that the boy had framed and that now hung on the wall over his bed in a kind of artistic mural. They did not know that Leon had done this for Chris, that he too had kept them safe from his aunt to not be destroyed in her single minded way to erase Chris time with Leon and D this way.
He had framed them all at Chris plea and had hung them up.
Now the entire wall, from bottom to top was one big picture book of crayon and other medium drawings. Some newer, some older. But all showed animals of D's shop as human beings in exotic dresses or poses. He had gotten better with time, the shapes were now clearly recognizable to the duo of male doves.
Purring softly both watched the room for the boy before they contemplated what they had found out until now.
It was much more as they had bargained for. The man had settled back into his life with grace and aplomb. D would have a hard time to weave his net back around the human. Somehow, Leon had done the unthinkable and had gotten out of it. How, both had not fucking clue but that he had. Chuckling to themselves both had the insight to give Leon the credit that he deserved for always having been good for surprises when D was concerned in the past!
It was an rather unspoken and written law of nature when it came to dealings with one Leon Orcrot as it looked.
Again the American had managed the unheard off and had done something no one had thought of that he would, he had followed an advice for once! Their hilarity knew no bounds for a while. Even knowing that D would not find this comical the slightest, had he not firmly believed to have Leon in his grasp at the end of a two years span until the time had come and gone.
Without Leon showing up as planed! Instead a picture frame had been sent to him from an unknown address.
After another year with no Leon on their doors, even after giving him hints via the news and other mediums, D had sent out spies to find out what his detective was up to. The two birds had found him in LA after some searching. In the same city as he had lived in before. With a family as it looked and being pretty happy and successful to boot.
Nope, their Kami would soo not like to hear their report!
