{Dr. Crow}

Hmm, I thought as I sat on my makeshift throne that I had placed in my office. It seems I might have to send in some of my stronger agents to capture the prize I'm after. Prince Silver will be mine if I have something to say about it!

I kept thinking about things as I looked down at the plate of food that I had yet to eat. I don't blame Princess Black for not wanting to eat lately. She's going stir crazy and I should at least consider moving her to a room that has windows. If I do then I should probably tint the windows enough to where she can see outside and no one can see inside.

I finally brought myself to take a bite of food and found myself licking the plate clean within minutes. Raw meat will never be appetizing food and it's definitely not the type of food that would be considered healthy for normal people. But Princess Black and I aren't normal people. We aren't even human for that matter. Why we both wound up changing into humans is a little bit confusing. It seems that every Diamond that escaped the destruction of their home planet changed into humans only months after they arrived on Earth. They stayed at Shaw Castle for a short period of time and that's why I declared war on them. I wanted to drive them out and keep Shaw Castle for myself.

It's funny though Princess Black who was formally Abigail aka Agent Black was the one who single handedly stopped the war leaving most of my agents dead. Shortly after that for whatever the reason, the government abandoned control of Shaw Castle and the Diamonds did too. I went back and after I took control of Shaw Castle I searched to see if any of the Diamonds had stayed behind but there was no one.

I met Shinjin when I was searching Shaw Castle to see if there were any Diamonds that stayed behind. At first I thought he was a Diamond until I found out he was a vampire and he and his family, which is referred to as a nest, made their home in the basement. I actually fell in love with Shinjin so I made a deal with them that they would allow me to take control of Shaw Castle and I would lend them protection from anyone that would try to cause them harm.

Shinjin had taken a liking to me, like I had taken a liking to him. We actually became a couple and we still are. I told him about Princess Black and Prince Silver and he had no problem at all with me being with other people just as long as I talked to him about it first. I figured since I loved him I would give him that respect.

The last time I had sex with Princess Black she came to me willingly and I didn't have to take away the crystal I had given her. That was because I let her make the choice if she wanted to sleep with me or not. So it's probably time that I give her the same respect I give Shinjin. Although I can't say that it will be that way once I get hands on Prince Silver. It won't be not until I put him underneath the same brainwashing that I did with Princess Black.

I finally figured out what agent I was going to send after Prince Silver next. The agent I wanted to send in was going to be much stronger than the other agents I sent out before. The agent that I was considering sending after Prince Silver was a court jester named Jester Leva. Shinjin rolls his eyes every time he hears the name Jester Leva because the name just sounds so stupid to him.

I smiled as I pushed a button on the telephone that was on my desk. It was a simple one that humans would use to conduct business on. I pressed the button and one of my servants named Asia answered. "Yes Dr. Crow?"

Asia isn't considered an agent to me because she's not working for me willingly. Sometimes a person's family or organization that they are connected with will make a contract with me. When that contract is made everyone in that organization or family belongs to me. So Asia is a servant of mine because her family made a contract to work with me when she was a toddler. For me a lot of times I don't prefer to work with kids. When I met Princess Black she was an adult. That's how old I prefer my workers and/or lovers to be at least.

After my servant Asia answered the phone I said, "Will you please send in Jester Leva to my office please?"

Asia stammered, "A-a-are you sure Dr. Crow?"

I groaned and then rolled my eyes. "Yes, I'm sure Asia. If I ask you to send in one of my agents that isn't a question of uncertainty! You know this already! So yes, please send him in."

"Oh," said Asia, "yes sir, he'll be there shortly."

"Oh and another thing," I said.

"Yes, Dr. Crow?" Asia asked.

"Can you bring me another plate of food?" I said. "I'm still hungry."

Asia sighed. "Yes, Dr. Crow it'll be there as well."

After I ended the phone call I was surprised that Asia didn't gag after she sighed. I know because the site of raw meat is repulsive and since she's not a Diamond it wouldn't be healthy for her anyway.

When Jester Leva entered the room he greeted me with a bow. I groaned when he stood up because he immediately went into comedy mode. He always does that every time I summon him when he knows I don't think he's funny. I doubt he'll change my mind about his comedy routine anytime soon. That's because that's not what I hired him for. I actually met the guy at one of those renaissance festivals where he was playing the part of a Court Jester. Apparently back in medieval times people like him were actually supposed to keep those of royalty entertained. When he found out that I used to be a King he started to try everything in his power to 'entertain' me.

I rubbed my temple and I was not in the mood for Jester Leva's 'comedy act' today. "Would you knock it off already?! You're getting on my last nerve!"

"Okay fine your highness…" Jester Leva said. He snapped his fingers and the beach ball he had been balancing on with his head turned into a yoga ball. He stopped balancing on the ball and sat down on it like it was a chair. "Would it kill you to laugh or at least smile?"

I groaned. "You know I don't laugh and I definitely don't smile! Not when this is a business matter. You know when I summon it's a matter of business."

"Aww," Jester Leva pouted, "yeah you can smile even when you're doing business!" he sighed. "Alright fine, what did you summon me for?"

I sat back down on my chair and leaned back on it before I said. "Well you know the government is after Princess Black right?"

Jester Leva nodded. "Yup! I'm so glad you finally found her and after all these years of searching you're reunited with your lover! Although I have seen her around the castle and she is beautiful!"

"Yeah I know," I said, "anyway it seems that Prince Silver is among the agents that the government has sent after her. Which makes sense considering he's not only her lover, he's also my lover too but I doubt he remembers me yet. He's probably more determined to capture Princess Black more than anything."

"So I take it, you want me to go after Prince Silver?" Jester Leva asked.

"You and I was also thinking about sending the Malaya twins with you," I said.

Jester Leva fell off his yoga ball and he landed flat on his back. He got to his feet and dusted himself off. He then snapped his fingers and his yoga ball disappeared. "The Malaya twins! You want me to go with those nutcases to track down Prince Silver? What if they kill him?"

I rolled my eyes. "You do realize that you can't kill a Diamond right? Prince Silver is a Diamond and I'm a Diamond. So yeah I'm sending the Malaya twins with you. Actually all I want you to do is introduce them and let them take care of things from there. Come back to Shaw Castle once you're done with the introductions okay?"

Jester Leva groaned. "So you're telling me that you want me to babysit them?"

I shrugged. "I don't call it babysitting. I like to call it escorting."

"Fine," Jester Leva said.

"Good," I said. I gave him a dismissive wave. "Off you go, the sooner I have my hands on Prince Silver the better."

Jester Leva left the room and I was laughing because he was sulking as he left.

{Ron}

Since we were headed back to HQ we transformed back into our regular selves. For some strange and odd reason I don't really like being transformed into Prince Silver even if it is my true self. I wonder if Abigail will feel the same way when the brainwashing Dr. Crow did to her was undone. I don't know about that.

Before we could start heading back to HQ I knelt down and scratched Ruff-Ruff behind the ear. "So what do you want to do Ruff-Ruff? Do you want to come with us? Or do you just want to lurk in the shadows and only come out when we need your help?"

"Uh, Ron?" Asher said. "Even though this mysterious woman popped up is inside this uh… Dog, I don't think she can-"

"What you mean talk?" Ruff-Ruff said.

We jumped back in surprise and Wrinkler almost fell off the rooftop where he had been standing. Asher caught him before he fell.

Wrinkler blinked. "Okay how on Earth…."

Ruff-Ruff sighed. "You can thank Abigail for that. She designed me in such a way that I can only come out of this, uh dog if it's needed. I can't come out if that's not the case. And yes other people will be able to see me. I can use my powers to disappear as quickly as possible. But if I stay with you as your pet Ron, that might work out better. That is, if it's allowed wherever you're going. If not I'll just lurk in the shadows and come out when you need help."

I smiled because I knew pets were allowed at HQ. As a matter of fact, I've seen agents at HQ that have pets. You just have to keep them on a leash and if you don't take it out of your room then you just need to keep the door locked.

I nodded. "You can come and live with us."

"Are you sure that's okay?" Ruff-Ruff said.

"Yes it's okay," I said. "You can live with us. We'll just have to figure out arrangements for you."

Ruff-Ruff smiled and looked at Asher and nodded. "It's okay, I totally understand."

I laughed when I saw Asher's face had turned red.

"Uh, why are you staring at me like that Ruff-Ruff?" Asher asked.

Ruff-Ruff winked. "No reason, no reason at all… In case you're wondering when I come out of this vessel my name's Princess of Light."

I wanted to laugh so bad but I chose not to because I knew for a fact that if Abigail knew about Asher and I then Princess of Light probably knows about us too.

"Well then," I said, "come with us. I'm not sure if you'll be able to keep up with rooftop traveling. Do you mind if I carry you along the way?"

Ruff-Ruff rolled her eyes. "Sure you can carry me. If I'm going to act like your pet then I might as well start now."

I nodded. I picked Ruff-Ruff and carried her to her new home.

* * *

"Aww just look at her!" Patty said. "She's adorable. Where'd you find her?"

Ruff-Ruff sat on the ground staring up at Patty trying her best to act like a normal dog when she wasn't. I was trying my best not to laugh at it. "Well let's just say that I found her on a rooftop when we were traveling here. She just came right up to us and said hi."

Patty starched Ruff-Ruff behind her ears and couldn't stop talking to her as if she were a baby. "You're such a cute little doggie! Yes you are! Yes you are!"

Ruff-Ruff did seem to enjoy the affection Patty gave her because I saw that she was wagging her tail.

"Uh, Patty?" I said. "You do realize that Ruff-Ruff is going to be my pet right?"

Patty looked up at me and for some reason she blushed. "I just can't help it! I'm a stickler for cute puppy dogs and just cute animals in general." She cleared her throat. "Anyway, so what did you find out about where Abigail might be?"

I shook my head. "No. The only thing we do know is that now Dr. Crow's agents are looking for me who is aka Prince Silver. I know because I transformed into him during the fight. There had to be at least over a hundred or more of Dr. Crow's agents that were involved in the fight!"

"Yeah too bad you couldn't have been there to see Ron fight as Prince Silver!" Asher cheered. "The way he ripped that cannon in two was awesome!"

I looked over to see that Asher had a twinkle in his eye and that kind of weirded me out a bit and I didn't know why. I looked over when I heard Wrinkler trying his best to stifle a laugh.

"You know I can hear your laughter, Wrinkler," I said.

Wrinkler stopped covering his mouth and just went into full on laughter.

Yeah I would tell them it's not funny but it would just make them laugh even harder. I thought.

Asher, Patty and I waited for Wrinkler to stop laughing. Once Wrinkler finally stopped laughing Patty said, "Well since you can't find much about where Abigail is other than the fact that she's at Shaw Castle you, Asher and Wrinkler will be on call in the meantime."

She looked over and smiled at Ruff-Ruff. "And I'll be writing out the file to register Ruff-Ruff as your new pet. That's an interesting name for her by the way. Are you sure she doesn't belong to anyone?"

I nodded. "Yeah I'm sure. You can scan her for a microchip if you want?"

"Hmm," she said, "I might do that. But for now just take her to your room and get things set up for her. Although she is adorable and I wouldn't mind taking her off your hands."

I snorted when Ruff-Ruff growled at Patty's statement. Patty frowned. "Well I guess that means she wants to stay with you. Alright, alright, don't worry Ruff-Ruff I'm not taking you away from Ron."

Ruff-Ruff barked her approval and sat down beside me as close as she could. I smiled. "Anyway, Patty, can I talk to you about something in private?"

Patty nodded. "Sure."

Once Wrinkler and Asher left I sat down at the table across from Patty.

"So what do you want to talk to me about?" Patty asked.

"This is kind of embarrassing to explain… But I um… Grew another body part…" I stammered.

"Was it a reproductive system body part by chance?" Patty asked.

I nodded. "I grew a vagina…"

Patty groaned and then sighed. "I should've told you about that but I figured since you were under a lot of stress already. I also figured that you would figure it out sooner or later."

"Oh." I said. "Oh and another thing, Asher got his fangs too so it stands to reason that he'll go through the same crap I'm going through. I talked to him about it and he seems to think that if he accepts it now before other things start happening then it won't be so bad."

"I see," Patty said. "That makes sense. I was wondering, have you got your wolf form yet?"

I shook my head. "Nope signs of that yet. Exactly how would I know I got that?"

"The first sign is that you might grow a tail. And in case you're wondering, no you won't grow a set of boobs," Patty said. "That's because your male gender is more up front than your female gender is. Abigail won't lose her boobs because her female gender is more up front than the male gender. And yes you will have a menstrual cycle. So I suggest you start wearing a different type of underwear other than boxers. Maybe briefs? We'll have to figure out how to hide your pad unless you want to try a tampon instead?"

Okay now I regret asking about this. But I guess it's needed. I thought.

"Can I still have sex even when I'm on my cycle?" I asked.

Patty nodded. "Yes you can but it might be a little bit gross. Number one because of blood that might come along with it. Every Diamond is different. And number two you might experience horrible cramps so that might affect how well you can fight depending on when it happens."

"So what about the female DA's when they go out on missions?" I questioned.

"They still go out on missions," Patty replied. "But some learn to be better fighters when dealing with the pain and some opt to go back to HQ until it's over with."

"Okay," I said, "Well that's all I needed to know. I should probably go get things set up for Ruff-Ruff."

Patty nodded and then smiled. "Okay but Ruff-Ruff is so adorable! Too bad she doesn't want to stay with me. I'll get started on the paperwork for her and it should go through in a couple of days."

I nodded. "Sure, thanks!"

After I left the room Ruff-Ruff was sitting outside her door wagging her tail. "Ruff!" She barked.

I smiled at her. "Yes I know Ruff-Ruff let's go get you set up in your new home."

I picked Ruff-Ruff up and carried her to my room.
