"You Want it Off?"

By: Robin Maxwell

Part Three:

Repayment

"Um… well, see… about that…" Kudo started, his cheeks stained a dark red. Shit, how was he going to handle this?

Kazahaya could still see Rikuo behind their boss. He wore a smug look on his face as he watched Kudo get in trouble. So, the light haired brunette put on one of his most innocent smiles.

"I let Rikuo borrow it. He said he needed it for something important and hasn't given it back yet."

Himura froze, his eyes narrowing dangerously at the smaller boy. Kaza just smiled at him as Kakei turned around, then gave Rikuo the middle finger.

"Rikuo?" Kakei said, a small frown marring his face.

The taller boy's face was blank as he spoke.

"Actually, Kakei, Kaza-chan lied because he's scared about you finding out about us."

At the horror struck look on the smaller boys face, he continued with glee.

"It's okay, Kaza. He's going to find out eventually. Anyway, we just started making out and dry humping each other at the party, and I couldn't wait to get him home. So, I took his clothes off there and banged him against the counter in the bathroom. We accidentally left the dress there because he was so drained afterwards."

Kazahaya's mouth was hanging wide open.

"Then what did he wear home?"

"He couldn't walk afterwards, so I wrapped him up in my coat and carried him home. He just looked so innocent that I couldn't wait to get home and screw him again and must have completely forgotten about the dress."

"RIKUO!" The brunette yelled as he literally pushed Kakei out of the way and lunged at him. He had unknowingly sharpened his claws while the other boy spoke and was ready to scratch his eyes out.

He didn't get that far though as Rikuo caught him and took him to the floor, his body pressing down on his.

"Sorry, I just took him off the cat nip and he's not too happy about that. It's just one of the side effects." Rikuo told his boss as the boy under him started to growl.

Kakei was just standing there. A look on his face that said 'am I allowed to laugh or is he serious?'

Thankfully, Saiga came out and saved him. He wrapped his arms around his lover and stared down at the two roommates.

"Hey kid, how was your first time? I always knew you'd bottom." He laughed as he looked at the frowning brunette.

"I WAS NOT! WE HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN THAT FAR! ALL WE DID WAS-" He suddenly cut himself off at the realization of what he just said hit him.

"Then how far have you two gone? And where's my dress?" Saiga asked, a serious look on his face.

"Um…" Kudo gulped as Saiga gave him a dirty look. Even though he couldn't see behind those damn sunglasses, he just knew he was getting a death glare.

"Why don't we go into my office and start from the very beginning?" Kakei offered as he grabbed onto Saiga's hand and led him towards the office. Rikuo got off of Kaza and pulled him up before following after.

Crap, we're sooooooooooo dead, Kazahaya thought as he went into the office behind them and closed the door.

XXXXX

"So, we went to the party and grabbed a few drinks from the bar-"

"We did not!" Kudo interrupted.

"Okay, we went to the party and I got a drink from the bar while Kudo had a water and…"

The two boys sat down in the corner of the room, one of them dressed like a girl with long dangly earrings clipped onto his ears. A long pearl necklace fell down to his waist that was wrapped around itself in one place to make it shorter with a beautiful dark blue flapper dress from the 20's. The shiny beads that hung down on long threads in three different places moved with him as he crossed his legs.

"Dammit, these heels are killing me!" Kudo whispered harshly as he loosened one of the straps.

"If you don't put your damn leg down, then people are going to see a lot more of you than they need too." Rikuo said as he pushed his leg back down, keeping his hand on his knee.

"Well excuse me! Why don't you wear the dress next time?!" Kazahaya said rather loudly, making an old couple turn around and stare at them. Rikuo put his arm around Kaza's shoulders and brought his face an inch from his own.

"It's not my fault that you look like a girl, so just shut up and look for the target." He pulled his face away, but kept his arm around his shoulders as he looked around the room.

Kudo grudgingly looked away from his partner in crime and watched the guests flow into the room. He hated the term "target"; it sounded like they were out to kill someone. Just as the band started playing, he saw the woman they were looking for. She was rather hard not to miss, actually. She was about as round as a giant wheel on a monster truck and must have weighed at least three hundred pounds.

She was wearing a bright red dress that was covered in small strands of string that hung down similar to Kudo's. But hers' made her look like a melting birthday cake. It was hard to believe that she could fit in it. The sleeves were thick straps that cut into her large, flabby shoulders. Kazahaya could already see the red marks they were making on her skin.

He shuddered in disgust as he watched her waddle towards one of the tables, two men on either side of her. It wasn't that she was ugly. She had a rather pretty face, but it was hidden by two pounds of make-up and fake moles. It was more of the fact that she was in her fifties with brown hair turning gray, and two young men in their twenties both being her escorts.

Kaza had found out that the men with her changed about every two to three weeks. And they got paid more than to just take her to parties. (Ewwwwwwwwwwwwww!)

He elbowed Rikuo beside him and tilted his head towards her. The dark haired boy looked towards her and took a long drink. After tipping the glass all the way back and emptying it of his contents, he put the glass down and gazed over at Kudo.

"You are so lucky to be the woman tonight." He told him almost depressingly.

After seeing the woman in person, Kazahaya could understand what the other boy was talking about. While Rikuo had to dance and flirt with the woman whilst taking off her locket, all Kaza had to do was grab the jewelry after he was done and sneak out. Then they'd meet out in the coatroom and leave.

Kudo almost felt sorry for his roommate, but just shrugged it off as he watched the couples out on the dance floor. The whole point of this party was to get dressed up and swing dance. It was a shame that he didn't know how too though, otherwise he might have been out there now. It looked like fun.

The screech of the a chair next to him alerted him that Rikuo was making his move, probably wanting this to be over as soon as possible. He kept his eyes on the tall boy as he moved to the other side of the room and offered his hand to the plump woman.

Rikuo was actually smiling at her, even though it was completely alcohol induced. But the woman bought it, taking on a flustered look as she stood up and walked out onto the dance floor with him. It wasn't like they could do many moves, seeing as Rikuo didn't want to break his back by trying to lift her up and actually swing her around.

Kudo laughed at the image of him trying to pick her up. He stopped though when he realized he needed to make his move. He stood up from the table and walked as fast as he could in a pair of heels towards the two of them. When he passed by, he felt something cold slip into his open palm behind his back. Just as he closed his fingers around it, he felt someone grabbing onto the necklace around his neck.

Kaza was jerked back, his back colliding with the large woman's front. They went toppling over onto the ground, but Kudo kept his hand firmly around the locket. A pair of hands grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him up. The pearl necklace around his throat broke as two fat hands clutched onto it.

"THIEF!" She screamed as she tried to stand up. Her two escorts came up to help her as people on the dance floor stopped what they were doing to turn towards her.

The two boys ran as fast as they could out of there as a group of men started to chase them. A small earthquake filled the room as a hand grabbed onto Kudo's. They exited the doors and ran out into the lobby of the hotel, not taking time to turn around to see if they were still being followed.

The cool night air hit them as they continued to run until they knew they weren't being followed. Kaza took deep breaths as he walked at a slower pace behind Rikuo. He noted that his clip on earrings must have slipped off when he was running, but didn't really care at the moment. He got them from the dollar store anyway.

A hand grabbed a hold of his and took the locket, making sure it wasn't damaged. As Rikuo looked it over, he let out a small sigh.

"What? Is it the wrong one?" Kaza asked.

"No. It's the right one, but it's just a cheap piece of costume jewelry. I wonder why the client wanted it."

"Are you serious? I had to dress up like a girl, again, and almost get choked by a woman who should be in sumo wrestling, all for a piece of crap?" The smaller boy fumed, his ankles throbbing where the straps were keeping them in place. He wanted to just take them off, but he didn't have another pair and didn't want to step on any glass.

"Basically." The dark haired boy answered in a lazy voice. He was still feeling the alcohol swimming through his blood stream. Then he opened the locket and stared at the empty compartment. His eyes squinted as he noticed that it wasn't empty. There was an inscription on the inside. It was a date and a jumble of letters mixed together.

The two rounded a corner and came up to the drug store. Rikuo closed the locket and pulled the key out of his pocket to open the door for the them. They entered the dark store, noticing that the office light was on. Rikuo knocked on the door, but nobody answered it. Although shuffling noises could be heard on the other side.

"I guess Kakei's busy." Rikuo muttered. Kudo noticed that an envelope was on the counter, addressed to them. He picked it up and read the letter inside. His hands started to involuntarily crunch up the paper on the sides.

"What the fuck?" He fumed.

"What's wrong now?" Rikuo asked as he tried to open the office door. It was locked and the key he had wasn't the right one.

"Kakei says that we have to wait for our payment until tomorrow or maybe until Monday. He's not sure. And you get sixty percent! What the hell? I'm the one that almost got choked to death!"

Before either could say anything else, the door to the office opened a fraction. A blushing Kakei stuck his head out and looked at the two while he hid his body behind the door.

"Sorry that we… ah, can't talk about the job right now. But since its late and everything, I won't open the store until twelve. So, feel free to come down at around lunch time…" Kakei trailed off as his eyes closed and he tilted his head back. A head of dark hair moved by his neck and Kakei stumbled out a good night before the door closed.

Rikuo just stood there in annoyance as Kazahaya tore up the stairs. The taller boy sighed as he put the locket in his pocket and went after him. Kudo made it there first and slammed the door behind him. When Rikuo entered, he took off his shoes by the other boy's and went towards his room.

"I am never doing another job for Kakei-san that involves a freaking dress! Agh! Would you come off, you stupidmotherfuckinggoddamnpieceofshit!" He yelled at the zipper on the royal blue dress he was wearing. He gave up on the zipper and started to tug on the fabric fruitlessly. He heard a snicker from the doorway and snapped his head in that direction. He saw Rikuo standing there with a hand over his waist, while the other was covering his mouth, trying to block out his laughter. He wasn't very successful.

"What the hell are you laughing at, you bastard?" He shouted at the other boy as he turned his body towards him.

Rikuo uncovered his mouth and wiped the smirk off his face before strolling towards Kaza. He stopped in front of him and stared him down.

"You want it off?"

"Y-yeah." The smaller boy said in a calmer voice, his anger suddenly dispelling elsewhere.

Rikuo grinned. That grin just made Kaza find his anger again, and he decided to voice it.

"Would you stop standing there and get this fucking dress off of me?!"

Kazahaya just stood there as Rikuo wrapped his hands around each side of the dress and pulled it down. The sound of the fabric ripping filled the air as Rikuo pulled it all the way down to his feet. He grabbed the back of Kaza's thigh and made him step out of the now ruined dress…

"And uh… that's kind of what happened." Kudo said, his cheeks stained a dark red.

"So, how far did you two get?" Saiga asked, his arm securely wrapped around Kakei's shoulders.

"What? I'm not answering that!" Kazahaya yelled.

"Well-"

The smaller boy placed both his hands over Rikuo's mouth before he could say anything else.

"And you're not saying anything else either, you got that?!" He almost shouted, the blush on his face reaching his ears now. An arm wrapped around his waist and he 'eeped', his hands falling away from the other boy's lips in the process.

"Don't worry, Kaza-chan, I won't tell them everything. Even though you give an amazing blow job."

Kudo smacked the other boy upside his head as he yelled out his name. Their boss and Saiga laughed loudly from the other side of the room. Kazahaya simply settled further down into the couch, his hands over his face in embarrassment.

"Stop torturing him, Rikuo. Besides, we need to start business anyway. I'm sorry that I wasn't… available last night. I had a pressing matter come up and needed to take care of it." Their boss told them cryptically. Even though both of them knew what he had been doing.

"Where's the locket?"

Rikuo had pulled the necklace out of his pocket from the pants he wore last night before they left the apartment that morning. He pulled it out now and handed it over. Kakei opened its compartment immediately and smiled to himself.

"Do you know what it says?" Rikuo asked.

"What it says?" Kaza asked, his hands falling back to his sides. He was still red in the face, but not nearly as bad as he had been earlier. He looked at Rikuo quizzically. What was he talking about? He hadn't seen any message on there.

"Yes. There's a… secret message in here, I guess you could say. It's a cryptogram. The woman who wanted us to retrieve this for her was married to the man who made it. It may look like a piece of cheap jewelry, and it is money wise, but to her it was her most valued possession. Unfortunately, her husband died about a year ago and she couldn't pay for anything. Her house and almost all of her possessions were auctioned off as a result. This piece of jewelry got mixed up in there somehow, and she was only able to walk away with a few of her things."

"I won't go into detail about how she acquired the money she has now, but the point is that she's been searching for this for months and could never find it. She finally contacted us and we looked into it, found the woman who bought it, and told you two where to find said woman. And now that we have it, she will be very happy when she gets it back." Kakei said, a warm smile on his face.

"But what does it say?" Kazahaya asked impatiently.

"The date on here is the day that she married her husband, and the letters say what any simple wedding band would say. I love you."

The two teenagers on the couch just sat there as Kakei pulled two envelops from his coat pocket. He handed them their money, Kaza once more looking peeved at being paid less. But at least he was getting paid!

"So, how good are you with that mouth, Kaza-chan?" Saiga teased.

"RIKUO!"

"What? I didn't do anything this time."

"Grr… it's still your fault." He told him as he jumped on him. Rikuo just grabbed his wrists and pinned him down on the couch.

"Now now boys, you don't have to put on a show for us. If you want to screw around in here, then we'll just leave and do our own thing upstairs in your apartment." Saiga said.

"NO!" Both boys yelled as they got off the couch and exited the office.

Before Kudo could finish up for the day, a hand came to rest on his shoulder. He turned around and saw Kakei smiling at him. It wasn't one of his pleasant ones either. This one was… disturbing. Kakei knew something or had something up his sleeve. He was plotting something. Kazahaya just knew it.

"Here you are. Think of it as a bit of repayment for only getting forty percent for last night." His boss told him as he was handed a small bag. He peered inside of it, but couldn't see its contents with the tissue paper in the way.

"I'll close up. You and Rikuo go ahead upstairs. Good night."

With that said, his boss wandered off to lock the front door and turn off the lights. Kaza just shrugged as he and Rikuo went upstairs, taking their aprons off on the way there.

"What'd you get?" Himura asked as he came up behind the other boy. Kazahaya just shrugged his shoulders as he turned the bag over and emptied its contents onto the bed. A pair of arms wound around his waist from behind as Rikuo peered down. The lights were off, but the items on the bed could be seen clearly from the street lamp outside the window.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Kazahaya yelled as Rikuo laughed behind him.

"Oh come on, you make it sound like you're innocent." Rikuo muttered into his ear as he picked up one of the packs of condoms. The box said 'flavored' on them. He threw the box back down on the bed and picked up a small tube.

"At least he gave us something useful."

"Hey! I'm still mad at you and who said that this stuff is ours? He gave this stuff to me." The smaller boy told him with a huff.

"Even if this stuff is yours, we'll still be using it."

Kazahaya blanched and looked down at his hands that now rested over the other boy's. He played with one of Rikuo's hands, running his fingers over his knuckles.

"When?" He asked quietly.

Rikuo had barely heard the question, and honestly didn't know if he had an answer for it.

"Whenever you want to."

"That doesn't help me!" Kudo argued.

Rikuo raised an eyebrow at the statement. He guessed that Kudo was actually ready, but also really nervous. Kazahaya wasn't one to voice his needs… or wants.

His arms around Kaza tightened as he bent down to whisper into his ear, "Then how about when I want to?"

Himura could feel the other boy stiffen in his arms, before he let his body lean back into his chest in a relaxed manner.

"When would that be?" He asked quietly.

"Now," Rikuo whispered against the shell of his ear.
