Enjoy reading!
Usual morning activities in the Mekakushi Dan's lair was abruptly halted by the loud clanking of pots and pans against the hard, wooden floor. Everyone's heads turned towards Kano who simply stared expressionlessly at the cooking equipment on the floor. "Hey, Kano, are you okay?" Kido asked, first, breaking the silence that filled the place.
The corner's of Kano's mouth suddenly turned up, and he cracked into a very wide grin. "My bad! Everything's fine now!" and after a few long stares cast towards him, everyone reverted back to their usual activities. Kano's grin was still pasted on his face, and he did not move an inch. And it was like this for a while more, his grin never faltering.
"Kano, could you at least pick up those pots and pans you dropped? I need to wash them now." Kido said, irritated by the fact that her childhood friend had not even budged, or said a word ever since he waved away the expressions of concern. "Kano?"
"O-Oh, right, yes, leader!" Kano responded, sounding slightly dazed, as if being knocked out of a trance. Hm? His voice didn't exactly sound... like his usual self though... Kido noted, now switching her gaze and attention towards the blond male.
Kano, very carefully, almost too carefully and slowly, bent down, his hands moving slightly around him, as if to check his surroundings. When he had reached the floor, he began to feel around the wood, for the pots and pans. This had worried Kido, greatly. "Hey, Kano the pots and pans are right there-"
"W-Where?" Kano's voice rose in worry and fright. His eyes had gone very wide, and they didn't move to look at Kido as she talked. His eyes briefly flickered from red, to yellow, back to red, and then to a pale, milky yellow. Kido also noticed that his body had been trembling ever so slightly.
Something's wrong- something is wrong. "Kano, can you see me?" At the corner of her eye, Kido could see the other members slowly taking notice of the problem, though they all remained silent, staring intently at the scene before them, staring at Kido, awaiting her confirmation before they could do anything.
"Of course I can."
"Then turn to face me, so you can look at me."
Kano fell silent, his happy grin fading. He began to tremble more, and this time it was visible. Kido bit her lips, unable to process that this was happening to him. "You can't... can you?" she said, her voice quavering. No response. "Kisaragi, help him to the living room, or somewhere that he can just lie down and not do anything. Someone call Seto, and tell him what's happening."
Seto had arrived as soon as he possibly could, after giving a long apology to his manager for the sudden leave. He came rushing through the doorway, carrying a simple cane, sprinting towards Kano's bedroom, where he had been now relocated to. Though it had been rude not to greet the others who had been waiting in the living room, his body only moved towards the bedroom. "Kano...!"
Kano had his eyes wide open, and laid still on his bed, turned over to one side, looking away from the door. The bright afternoon light shone through the windows, lighting up the room, despite the dark atmosphere. Kido silently followed Seto into the room, quietly closing the door behind her. "We still haven't gotten a clue as to how it happened. We asked him, and he doesn't know what happened either."
"And it just happened that quickly?" Seto asked in disbelief, unable to register the current event. Kido simply nodded. "So... h-he can't see? Like anything? At all?"
"Hey, y'know I'm still awake, and I'm not deaf," Kano called from the bed, shifting slowly to position himself as to roughly where he heard their voices.
Seto gave him a slight smile, though he wouldn't be able to see it. "Can you use your powers?"
"That's not actually a good topic to begin with," Kano replied back nonchalantly. Kido stepped forward, her hand raised slightly, as a result of habit to hitting Kano whenever he said something stupid or ridiculous or rude, but refrained from doing so. Instead, she lightly tugged on to Seto's sleeve, her eyes darting briefly to the door. Seto nodded, and quietly opened the door, and left the cane at the end of the bed for Kano.
"So what happens when Kano tries to use his powers?" Seto asked again, curious as to why Kano had brushed away such a topic, especially since he seemed to use his powers 24/7. Everyone (apart from Kano) had gathered around the small coffee table in the living room, all with slightly saddened expressions on their faces.
Shintarou cleared his throat awkwardly, breaking the silence that began to build up in the room. "We don't know, he doesn't want to tell us, or doesn't want to show us," he explained, glancing at Kano's bedroom. "I think I have a theory as to why this is happening, but I can't be sure just yet. I don't really want to scare all of you... uh... eye powered people."
"Onii-chan, it's fine to tell us...!" Momo insisted, but Shintarou waved away his sister's protest.
"Like I said, I can't be sure, and honestly, telling you my theory would probably haunt you for a very long time. And I don't want that to happen," Shintarou grumbled and took a sip from his can of coca cola. He cast his eyes downwards to the ground, and kept silent, seemingly immersed in a train of thoughts in his mind. The look in his eyes worsened every half a minute.
"I think Kenjirou's place might have some kind of research or information about this kind of problem." Kido said, after a while.
"Y-You mean my teacher!?" Momo shrieked.
"You mean Ayano's father!?" Both Seto and Shintarou yelled at the same time, but paused before they could say any more, exchanging wide eyed glances with each other, staring in disbelief at one another as to what they had both just said- but saved the explanation for another day.
"Yeah... him. We could break into the house and just get the necessary info we need and-" before Kido could finish her sentence, an ear-piercing shriek cut her off, turning everyone's face immediately to expressions of fright, worry, and shock. And when the first shriek had died down, it didn't stop. It kept on going and going, cut off by loud, heavy gasps for air.
And Kido didn't need to think twice about going to help that person.
