I am traveling with arm dealers for longer than I could remember. Koko brought me to lots of different places. She showed me skies, seas, and mountains. She was no longer an arm dealer, but she still did that. She showed me the world until this moment.

Tonight, she brought us to a place where I never heard or seen before. Well, to be exact, I followed her secretly to this place.

"What is this place?" I shouted at the top of my lungs. Lutz and Tojo ignored me while shouting 'woohoo' happily. Two of them moved around, danced along with the super loud music. I stared emptily at the two of them, didn't have any idea where the hell was I or what should I do in this kind of place. The music was way too loud. The lighting was so bad, sparking in different colors. People gathered around, moving their body as if there was no tomorrow.

"Hi handsome!"

I jerked when I felt a hand groping my thigh. Unconsciously, my hand was reaching for a gun inside my pocket. I glared at the almost-naked-woman in front of me. Who is she? What did she want from me? I scanned at her figure. She didn't hold any weapon. She was no harm. Slowly, I tucked my gun safely inside my pants. "You looked kinda young to be in this place," She stared at my face. "But I like your eyes. So… wild." The red headed woman whispered to my ear, sending goose bumps all over my neck. "Let's ditch this place and go somewhere." She winked at me. Her hand was dangerously reaching to my zipper, made my jaws dropped.

What's wrong with this insane lady? "I'm looking for my friends." I pushed her away. I frantically moved my eyes, looking for two of them. However, the lighting made my head throbbing crazily. What the hell is this place? Where is everyone? I tried to get away, but her sharp nails were gripping my hand.

"What the hell was that for?" She shouted. "You are looking for your friend?" Her smile returned. "You want a threesome? I don't mind. Feel free to call them."

Threesome?

Three people killing someone?

"Come on! Two of us can start first!" She grabbed my arm, pulling me away.

Start what? "I stayed at hotel next to this club. We are going to have some fun! I wanted it rough, alright."

Hotel? Fun? Rough?

Suddenly I heard the clicking sound of my brain.

This crazy lady wanted those 'hot stuff' Lutz and Tojo always talked about. And she wanted to do it with me.

I could feel my blood drained away from my face. Now I understood why Wiley, Ugo and Mao didn't wish to come with Tojo and Lutz. I understood why Tojo and Lutz looked so excited when Koko approved their wish. I understood why Koko forbade me to come with them. But Lehm had gone somewhere and Koko joined Valmet to…

Koko.

She was supposed to be in this place.

Where is she?

"Come on! Why do you walked so slow? Are you drunk?" She giggled.

I'm going to die. "Koko!" I started to shout. "Koko! KOKO!" Help me!

Before I realized, a cold, slender fingers grabbed my face. "There you are, Jonah." A sweet scent of berries hit my face. Before I could react, a pair of lips devoured my own. "Mmm…" Koko pulled my other hand, making my body came in contact with hers. My eyes widen when I felt something hot poked my lips. Taking advantage of my shocked state, she inserted her tongue fully into my mouth.

Cherry.

"What the hell? You are taken? You should say that from the beginning, bastard!" The red-headed woman slammed me with her hand bag. Koko half-opened her eyes, peered into the lady who was getting further apart from us. She grinned, pecked my lips a few times before finally letting go of me. Still grinning, she looked at me.

"You look like you are about to explode."

"I am. What the hell is this place?" I almost shouted in despair.

"Nightclub," Koko shrugged her shoulder. "I definitely saw you studying with Wiley before I left." She glared at me playfully, made me gulped.

"I followed you secretly…"

"As always huh."

"Because you always attract danger, Koko." I tried to defend myself.

"But this time I saved you from danger of getting raped!"

I lowered my head, unable to stand her 'I'm-going-to-laugh-out-loud' face.

"I assumed Tojo and Lutz helped you to get in?" She snickered, popping a cherry inside her mouth. I stared at that red fruit and my face grew hotter. No wonder that kiss tasted like cherry. "Valmet and Lehm are sitting at that corner. I thought I was drunk when I heard your voice, but I haven't had my Bourbon yet."

"What is bourbon? Another kind of threesome?"

Koko almost choked on her cherry. The next second, her laughter beat the loud music. "Superb! You are the best Jonah!" She grabbed my hand and pulled me away. "Let's go. Before you made me die in laughter."

I frowned, felt offended with that remarks, however I really wanted to leave this place.

"This place is super crowded. Make sure you never let go of my hand." Her slender fingers were gripping my hand. I nodded, gave her hand a light squeeze.

"What is the purpose of that place?" I asked when we finally got away from that nightclub.

"Drinks. Dance. Valuable information, for my case." Koko grinned. "But for Lutz and Tojo, that place have a different purpose."

"What is that?" I stared at the beach ahead of us. For a moment, I was drowned to the sound of the wave and the salt smell of the sea.

"Women. Sex."

I almost stumbled on my own feet. "And you allow them, Koko?"

"Men have their own needs. I won't forbid them for doing that. However!" Koko crossed her arms. "I won't forgive them for bringing you to that place! You are underage, Jonah boy!"

"I'm sorry," I nodded. "I won't go to that place again." I could feel my neck hair rising when I remembered that crazy lady.

"When you turned twenty one I will allow that," she grinning. "You have your own need also, I believe. You are around that age already."

I frowned. Needs? "If that lady went for Lutz or Tojo, will they accept her?"

"I guess. She's beautiful. She can satisfy their needs." Koko laughed, looking at me with playing looks on her eyes. "Why? You want her?"

I shook my head immediately. "I don't need her."

"Okay. Maybe in two year time you will need her," she laughed.

"Don't play with me, Koko." I frowned. "You know that I will never want her or any woman like that."

She smirked widely, satisfied with my answer. "Then what about me?"

I looked at her. I wondered why I didn't realize it sooner. She was wearing a dress. Azure blue dress, same color with her eyes. She stepped closer. That cherry scent again. I gulped when her face was getting closer to mine. "Are you going to say the same thing? You don't wish for me?"

"It's not that…" I could feel my face burning. "I…"

"What?" She pouted. "You don't want me?"

I bit my lips. "I… I want you, Koko." I managed to whisper that sentence. I couldn't believe I said that. I almost threw myself on the sea, hid myself from her. However, she looked so satisfied with my answer. She was grinning ear to ear.

Unfair. I frowned. She was totally playing with me.

"I guess I deserve a present? For saving you back then?"

I blinked, didn't get what she mean.

"What about a kiss?" She smirked, pointing at her lips.

"Eh…" I rubbed my hair, unable to erase the blush on my face.

"Come on! I give you permission!" She closed her eyes, still wearing the same smile. I sighed, moved my face towards hers. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath of her scent. She didn't have strong perfume smell that red-headed lady had. Koko always smelled natural, if not gun powder smell. This time, she smelled like cherry.

Slowly, I pressed a soft kiss on her lips. "Thanks. For helping me." I whispered on her lips.

"Any time." She reached for my hand, and pulled me for a hug. "My Jonah." She snuggled on my chest. I put my arms around her waist, holding her. I pressed my nose against her hair, smelling her natural scent. "Shall we go? I want to sleep." She yawned, reaching for her phone. "Valmet? I'm taking Jonah home!" She placed her arm around me and started to walk. "Hehe, sorry! I will make up a date with you, just two of us. Okay. Okay. No Jonah next time! Really? You are so awesome, Valmet!"

Home. There is no place called home for two of us. Koko traveled since the day she was brought to this world. My home was destroyed long ago, with weapons. However, those weapons brought me to Koko.

And she's my new home.

Suggestions are welcome!

I love how Jonah always sneaked around to find his way to meet Koko! You can find it in chapter 6 of the manga. :p
