GetBackers PS.O.H

D smiled as Leon slept on the bed, D had moved him in to. Subtle moments when Leon was around, D found himself watching Leon’s every move. Nothing he seemed to do would phase him, for the time being at least. D walked over towards Leon and brushed the hair out of his face.

Leon opened his eyes to the touch of something going against his face. Spotting D, he jumped up.

“YOU~! EVIL THING! YOU PUT THAT DAMN GOAT IN MY BED!”
“Is there ANY REASON TO BE YELLING!?”
“No…I just wanted to say that to you..”
Leon smiled as he won another argument as D rubbed his head in stress.


“ Where have you been anyways? Testsu told me you were way. Off giving unsuspecting people man-eating pets again?”
“Why actually no, and they aren’t all man-eating…. (Just some of them, and if they aren’t fed right they eat the owner anyways, one less human to worry about) I was out getting some food for the pets along with getting some flowers.”
“Flowers…None of those flowers that attacked me like last time..”
“They didn’t attack you and I told you to stay inside..”

Leon snorted and shifted, now taking in his surroundings. He never saw this room with in the pet shop. Red were the walls of the color of cherry blossoms. ( I still say there were drummers and pipers there) Chairs that are made out of ember wood and are line with gold lace, shimmering in the light of the candles. Something about the entire room was mysterious though. Why was everything red?

“Lover of Red are you?” Leon gestured as he looked around.
“ My father’s favorite colors really. I like to use it for quiet time. And other things.”
“Really? What type of other things? “Leon said with a grin
D blinked, catching the hint and looked away pouting.

“Such a dirty mind. I have half a thought to wash your mouth out now…”

When Leon didn’t say any thing, D looked over.
Eyes closed, tears streaming, Leon was crying.

“What’s wrong? Is it your leg? Did you take your medication?”
“Yeah….Its ok..” Rubbing his eyes and forcing a smile, he pushed D slightly away to show he was healthy and wasn’t going to die the next second.
“May I have some water?. I’m kinda thirsty..”
“ I’ll make you some warm tea..” D got up and, after watching Leon for a few minutes, then disappeared.
Leon rolled over. He can’t believe he was thinking of his old life of porn and booze. The old live where he would do any thing to survive and keep his own life safe and not care about anyone. Until he met D, he could say that his life was perfect. Aside from the danger of getting shot and killed, he had all he wanted. When he met D, everything it seemed, changed. He stopped drinking so heavily, he learned that appearances were not what one would call solid. He learned that animals have a moment of paradise and it’s the humans fault for being locked out of that paradise. How could he so selfishly think that D was like the typical human, that would succumb to those lowly desires…How?

When D returned with the tea, Leon was on his side, face towards the wall.
/ Sleeping I suppose. I heard that Testsu wore him out. I hope he didn’t hurt him too much.. I guess it would take time for them to get along./

D walked over to Leon’s bed and put the tray down on the side table. Resisting the urge to kiss Leon on the forehead for well dreams, he patted the sheets and walked towards the door.

“D?..”
Turning around, somewhat startled that he spoke, walked back to the side of the bed.
“Yes Dectic- Leon…? What is it..?”

Leon grabbed D by his arms and pulled him close to his face.

“ I want you to tell me…Tell me why you kept me here?. Why are you letting me stay here?. I killed your father…Why are you still looking at me like it never happened? Tell me D WHY?”

D gave a distressed face, as he relaxed and sat on the bed looking away.

“I don’t know..”
“Don’t give me that. You do know.. Half the people I know would kill with out a thought, of any one who killed their father. Hell I would! If I knew him…You sit here and tell me you don’t know why you aren’t mad at me for killing animals, killing your father, now I’m here and it’s a dream? Why D?”

“ I DON’T KNOW LEON!” He stood up and walked towards the fire, and stood in front of it.
“ I don’t know why I care about you. I don’t know why I’m not mad. I don’t know why I don’t want to kill you for what you did to my father. I don’t know why! If I knew I would tell you..”

D drew his arms up around his shoulders, now very cold in front of the blazing fire.



A body flew in to the nearby wall, leaving a blood smear, and a small crater. A man walked over to the now twitching body, grinning. This was bliss. So much power at his finger tips, and the more pain others were in it made him brim with laughter.

“ Dem…DEMON!”
“Yes I’ve been told that by many others, I really wish you’d think of a new name..”
“Get away from me..”
“ And what? Watch my food crawl away from me?”

She watched with a smile as Ban proceeded to drain the blood out of his mangled victim. She shivered her scales up her neck and slid off to where the intruders were being kept.

“That is shame…We only have 3 left…Looks like we need to get more..”
“No Dear sister…Hess ready to hunt on his own now…Already he smells the blood in the veins of the frightened. “
“ But Lindo…What if his friends come back…What if the Thunder Emperor comes back?”

Linda’s eyes narrowed, as a grin pulled across her entire face.

“ Then we give them what they want...” She looked over towards Coral.
Coral blinked a few seconds..” Why would we give them? The Snake King. We’ve waited so long to get him and kill him and now were just going to up and give him away!? That is the most-“

“Think about it…Nether of us would want to face the Thunder Emperor…And we want the Snake King dead as well…If they fight…and they kill each other…Then there’s no problem either way..”

Coral nodded..” What if he lives?”
“Who?”

“You know who... The Snake king? What if he lives? “
Lindo looked around at the captured men. “ Then we do what we must..” Lowering her self down in to the cage, getting close to one of the sleeping men’s face..
“We take matters in our own hands..”

Screams echoed from the men that awoke to the room covered in blood.
Ban turned around and looked to where the sounds were coming from.

/ What is that?/

/Nothing…She’s just having a snack…/
/Who are you? /
/You needed to worry Snake King. I take it your prey was good?/

/ It was too easy to catch. When am I going to face a worthy prey?/

/Soon I trust you/


Hemiko sighed. Genji wasn’t speaking a word, nor was he awake enough to know that he almost walked in to the street and would have gotten hit by a car had Shido not spotted him.

“ Where did you see the girl Akabane?”

“My my. This place dose seem all alike when you are standing at base level..”
Katsuki looked around to the surroundings areas, while Emishi searched the roof tops.
After a few hours of searching, everyone sat down to rest.
“Nothing…hasn’t found a thing.. Are you sure Akabane isn’t you know?.” Emishi wiggled around like he was tipsy, until his shoe had a knife in it, with Akabane’s back turned towards him.

“ Eh…guess not..”

“Sister….wake up….I told you they would be back! There here..”
Lindo shifted and slid towards the hidden window that was now watching over the now resting group of people that Ban had originally came in. The Thunder Emperor however, looked like he had better days.

“Perfect…”
“What is?..”
“Let’s see how he will hold his own..”
“You mean. Now?”

Lindo slid down to where Ban had found the captured pets and was now breaking the arm off whimpering prey. Apparently his vocal cords were ripped out.

/ I see you found were we kept our stash…/
/ I find it funny…/
/ I have a present for you…/

Ban dropped the man and walked towards the dark figure, breaking the mans neck as he walked by.
/ I don’t want a present…I want a worthy opponent….Now../

Lindo walked out towards the area, leading him along..
/ Patience./

Ban followed along, while brushing a rat off his shoulder from where it fell.


Shido looked around, for any sign of a snake or girl, or any of the animals that he had sent out.
“this is a waste of time! I could be some where in Vegas doing my start up act and-“
“The only act you would be doing is a disappearing act if you don’t shut up Emishi..”
“I’m just saying if the man wanted to be found he’d be found by now Himi-chan. I mean really, who would hide them selves so well that not even a rat can find him?.”

“Don’t say that..”

“You don’t know what you’re talking about. Ban isn’t like that. He wouldn’t disappear for no good reason.”
“Well other than he’s either a flake or tired of us, is reason enough. Or that he can no longer handle such powerful people. I mean really. If it were me and him one on one he’d lose and-“

“Don’t say that…”

“Please you’d be down in a minute crying for your momma breast milk! I could even beat you.”
“ You?! See I don’t fight women. But you I’ll-“

“STOP IT!”
Everyone looked around to where Genji had stood up. Hemiko and Emishi gave apology glares and backed away from each other.

“If…..He’s not coming back…Then there’s no real need to worry.. I can just-“
“Hold on..” Shido squatted down, to pick up a rat that had been crawling to wards him from some time..

“Great the rat-talker speaks.”
Another knife found its way to Emishi’s right sleeve, as Shido stood up.

“I have a lead on where Ban might be..”
“Then let’s take it. I’m sure they’ll be more clues there..”
Katsuki stood up and walked beside Genji.

“You really miss him don’t you..”
“Everyone doesn’t fight like this when He’s here…it’s like we joking like a family…..now it feels like everyone is falling apart. Distancing themselves from each other..”
“I know how you feel…” Katsuki looked up to the sky. (Wonder how Jubei is doing…)
Natsumi washed a dish while looking out the window, it had been only a few hours when they left and it wasn’t like they haven’t come back from longer missions before, it simply was the uneasy feeling that she was having that Ban and Genji wasn’t going to be the same when they returned..
While thinking she dropped the plate, it shattering on the floor.
Paul looked over at Natsumi, who was still gazing out the window..
He was worried too, but something needed to be done before depression set in..

“Hey, are you planning to run up a tab like those two? You know they aren’t good influence..”
Startled she turned around and faced Paul.
“Oh I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to drop it.. I’m just worried…I feel strange about this and how they are going out to find something….what if-“

“You know they’ll come back. Something like a snake isn’t going to keep the both of them away for very long. Ban at times needs time alone, and probably thought of the mission as an excuse. You’ll see, he’ll come back after the mission is all done and complain about how they didn’t wait.. He’s just teasing Genji.” As he waved his hand to gesture plainness, when he saw a red glow coming from Natsumi and slowly backed away..

“Natsum-“
“HOW DARE HE~! MAKING GENJI WAIT AND WORRY OVER HIM~! WAIT TILL HE COMES BACK~! I’LL GIVE HIM A PIECE OF MY MIND~!”

Paul sneaked into the back room, and hid behind the door.
“Great…made her stop worrying and woke up a demon….Ban…hurry home…”
