CHAPTER 2
Chloe Kato suddenly wished she was Aladdin.
Maybe it was because of his magic carpet, his magical lamp, the genie, or maybe it was just the freaking fact that he lived inside a Disney Movie, where the only tragedy that occurred was something like not being able to find a dress for the ball.
Either way, Chloe Kato wished that she was in a Disney Movie. Or just Aladdin. Or hell, even Tarzan would do.
Unfortunately though, life never went so smoothly.
"And just who might you be?" a husky voice asked as she quickly killed the spider with a loud stomp. The girl glanced up with a blink-standing there with an amused look on his face was the one and only Lavi Bookman, staring down at her with an unreadable expression. She didn't know what it was-there was definitely some anger there, with a bit of annoyance, and alot of amusement...really, it was an emotional rainbow plastered onto his handsome face.
Lavi placed a finger onto his chin thoughtfully. "Hmm, I wonder what you're doing with that camera!" his voice was obviously fake. "Are you taking pictures of that tree over there?" he blinked innocently. "Wait-could it be that you were taking pictures of me?"
Chloe huddled closer together as his green eye widened. She didn't like the feeling that she was getting from him. Not one single bit.
"N-no." she managed to croak. "I was just..." she forced a smile. "You know. Hanging around."
"In a bush?"
Craperita.
Chloe made the most innocent expression that she could. "You know..." she shrugged. "Bladder problems. Can't hold it in for more than ten minutes."
Lavi stared at her for a long moment with his one emerald eye. She was unsure of what he was thinking-he seemed to be considering something and it didn't look so good. Chloe just blinked back nervously. More silence passed, and for a moment she thought that he was turning into a statue until he suddenly waved his hand dismissively, much to her surprise.
"Oh." Lavi said. Then he flashed a smile that could have probably gotten him into a dangerous situation if the fangirls had been looking. "Well, I hope you get better." he gave a wink. "And remember to go see your doctor!"
Chloe tensed. "I will." she promised as he grinned one last time and left her to sit there alone. "Goodbye."
"Bye!" Lavi called as he left towards the direction he was originally coming from.
Chloe blinked as she watched him walk away to the other direction. "Wait-why are you going that way?" she couldn't help asking. Wait...could it be that he had realized she was stalking him?! Was that why he was walking back towards the way he had come from? Oh no! Her plan had failed and she was going to loose her photos!
Lavi suddenly stopped in his tracks and whipped around. "Is there something wrong with that?" he blinked innocently, but behind that eye there was much more. They were far from innocent. They were...the opposite.
Chloe suddenly froze-shit. She had fallen into his trap. How the hell was she supposed to know which way Lavi was supposed to be going if she hadn't been following him? And worse, why in the world of freaking hell had she even asked?!
Lavi smiled smugly at her obvious reaction of panic. "So," he said as he trotted back in front of the bush. "How has Miss. Stalker been liking her photos of my ass? Did ya get a nice angle? Or do you need me to pose?" he winked.
Chloe let out a sigh. Sometimes she wondered why she was born with the brain of a jellyfish.
"Apparently Miss. Stalker is too stunned by my presence to talk." Lavi raised an eyebrow when she didn't reply. "Am I really that smexy?"
Chloe didn't know what do say. Maybe she should have just kept sighing-not that it was going to help her escape the horrid situation that she was in right now. But it definitely could have released some of the depression that was building up inside of her. "Just go on with it already." she sighed. "What do you want me to do? Give you the photos? My camera? My glasses as a punishment method so that I can't find my way back to that horrible cigar-scented office owned by an alcoholic?"
Lavi shrugged. "Actually, I want you to tell me every single thing that you just heard."
Chloe blinked. "What thing?" she said. "I didn't hear anything." Except for the part where you said you were going to kill Tyki with provided evidence! But that part isn't that important of course! Yeah! Not at all!
Lavi sighed tiredly as he rubbed the back of his head. "Would you like me to tell you something?" he asked.
Chloe glanced at him nervously. "Um...what?"
Lavi grinned. "I currently have three guns armed on me." was the blunt answer. "And if you do mind getting shot with one, it would be great if you could tell me the truth!"
Chloe stared at him. Oh yeah. A magic carpet would definitely be useful right about...now.
"How can you smile when you're saying something like that?" she wanted to know, surprised that her voice was barely shaking. Really, she had never ever imagined Lavi Bookman to be someone like...this. Terrifying. Dangerous. Evil. Cold. A Monster. Everything that was the opposite of his pictures in the magazines, his interviews on TV, and even the movie roles that he played. His image had always been the nice pretty boy, but...this? Wait until the fangirls found out!
"Maybe it's because it's my job." Lavi said with a shrug. "Now how about you tell me if you heard my conversation on the phone or not?"
Safety first. Safety first. Safety first.
"Um." she said. She didn't know where to begin. Or why Lavi had three guns on him. Or what the hell was going on. Or how she had gotten herself into this. Or where her life was going to end up next-or if she was even going to have one. "Um well..." she bit her lip and glanced up at the redhead, who just stared back icily with a green eye in return. "Well..." she fiddled with her fingers. "M-maybe I um, heard the part about Tyki being connected to the Noahs..."
Lavi raised an eyebrow as she quickly put her hands up. "But I swear I didn't hear the part about you wanting to kill Tyki!" she blurted out.
The teen hearthrob only laughed at that. "I'm sure you didn't." he smiled as she slapped a hand to her forehead, wondering what the difference between her brain and none was.
"So are you going to let me go now?" she asked quietly, even though the answer was already clear.
Lavi shook his head much to her dismay. "Nope, sorry." he answered. "Can't let anyone who heard that conversation to get out of here alive."
"But...why?" Chloe whispered in despair. "Why are you going to kill Tyki?" And me? she added mentally.
Lavi laughed. If it hadn't been why he laughed, she would have thought that it sounded hot. Unfortunately though, he was just laughing over killing people. "Calm down, I'm not gonna kill Tyki." he told her. "Nope, that's not my job." his eye glimmered. "Just you."
Chloe dropped her head hopelessly.
Lavi pouted. "Aww, didn't somebody ever tell you not to give up?" he tilted his head to the side with a sad expression as he reached into the inside pocket of his jacket and pulled out-much to Chloe's dismay-a pistol. A black one.
She stared up into the sky and wondered what the headlines on tomorrow's news would be. Teenage Girl's Un-Sexy Body Found in Bush of Rich Neighborhood? Or Sad Tragedy of Teenage Girl With Brain the Size of A Pebble?
She sighed; whatever it was, it didn't matter anymore. Nothing would matter once she was killed by this disgusting monster. And the funny part was, she suddenly didn't even care anymore. She felt suddenly an urge of excitement-there was nothing worth living for. Sure, maybe Allen Walker treated her nicely, but the rest of the people in the world could probably care less about her presence-her 'family' probably wouldn't even know that she was dead until a month later. And maybe Cross Marian would miss his daily dose of vodka from her, but...screw him. She didn't even care.
"Since you were a honest girl," Lavi whistled as he wrapped his finger around the trigger. "I'll let you die quickly." then he sighed and shook his head. "Man, I hate killing people. Innocent ones especially..." he gave her an apologetic look. "Forgive me, will you?"
She just shot him a cold glare. "I hate you." she hissed.
Lavi pouted. "Aw, don't say that!" he complained, then flashed another smile. "Well, maybe in your next life you'll know better than to stalk people with a camera." he shrugged. "Maybe you'll manage to escape nasty situations like these."
Chloe smiled sadly. "I don't want a next life." she answered. "Life isn't something that I would want to experience again."
Lavi blinked. "Well that's some touching last words!" he chirped cheerfully. "But unfortunately I don't pity you enough to not kill you, so you might just wanna close your eyes. Or you could stare at my face while I shoot ya." he suggested. "That would be a hot way to die."
Chloe gave him a dirty look. "I hope you loose your stardom and get a death sentence after this." she spat. "I also hope that your stupid fangirls will start chucking grenades at you so that your hair explodes....not that it doesn't look like it's exploding already."
"Ouch. My hair just got offended."
Chloe gave him one last look of ice and shut her eyes tightly, reading to embrace the sudden death that was about to overcome her. She could feel the murderous energy already-Lavi Bookman, the teen hearthrob and hottest star in Japan, was about to pull the trigger and the gun was aimed at her, just because she had overheard him saying something about a Noah and Tyki.
And that was the monster beneath the cover of a perfect image, crawling to get out.
"OH MY GOD, LAVI!"
She blinked open an eye as the sudden scream rushed into her ears.
Lavi seemed to be pretty stunned too, since he quickly shoved the gun back into his coat pocket when the owner of the squeal sprinted towards them.
"LAVI!" a girl around their age bounced over to them quickly with happiness. Chloe recognized her immediately and almost gaped-it was Chomesuke, the hot popstar of Japan who's songs had been toping the charts one by one. There were rumors that she and Lavi had been dating, but none of them had been confirmed and the media was just itching to find out. Unfortunately though, their movements always seemed to be extremely secretive, so none of the magazines had been able to scoop much gossip on their relationship.
"Uh, hey uh, Chomesuke." Lavi forced out a cracked smile as she threw herself onto him with joy. "H-hows it going?"
The pretty brunette smiled. "Great!" she squealed as she gave him a massive hug. "It's so good to see you again!"
"Y-yeah." Lavi answered weakly as he glanced at Chloe from the corner of his eyes. She had a look of relief on her face, but nevertheless the sweat drops of fear that covered her forehead still remained. "See, I uh, kinda have to g-go-"
Chomesuke pouted prettily. "What's the rush?" she demanded and followed Lavi's gaze towards the girl on the ground, expression seeming to change as the realization of not being alone struck her. "Who's that?" she asked, staring at Chloe like she had four eyes. Which she did, un-literally.
"P-please save me." Chloe pleaded weakly as she shook uncontrollably. "He-he's going to kill me."
Chomesuke exchanged odd glances with Lavi. "Um." she pursed her lips together. "Who is that?"
Lavi sighed as he rolled his eyes. "She's my sister." he answered much to Chloe's shock. "I was going to take her to the doctor today, but she has latrophobia."
"What disease is that?"
Lavi smiled. "It's fear of going to the doctor." he told her. "I always tell her that the doctor is just doing his job, but she thinks that the white coat they wear is just a cover-up for a monster."
Chomesuke laughed lightly. "Why didn't you ever tell me that you had a sister?" she frowned, which still looked gorgeous on her. "I thought you were the only child?"
Lavi shrugged. "She doesn't count." he joked and she laughed like it was the most hilarious thing in the world, much to Chloe's disgust.
After a sequence of giggles, Chomesuke finally turned to her and bent down. "It's alright." she told her cheerfully. "The doctor will help you, not harm you."
"L-lavi." Chloe choked out in pain, ignoring everything that she could hear. "He-he's going to kill me!"
The redhead laughed louder than necessary. "Wow, first it's the doctors," he joked but there was no doubt of his tense voice, "Now it's me?"
"He's also going to murder Ty-"
"Ow!" Lavi hissed as he grabbed his arm in pain, interrupting the word-or name-that she was about to say.
"Are you okay?" Chomesuke asked anxiously as she grabbed his arm. "What happened?"
"First he's going to murder me, and when you leave he'll kill Ty-"
"I SCRAPED MY ARM ON A BRANCH!" Lavi practically yelled.
"You can trust him!" Chloe whimpered. "He might kill everyone who knows his secret!"
Chomesuke didn't seem to be listening though-she was too busy worrying over Lavi to notice. "How can you be so careless?" she puffed angrily as she examined his arm. "Wow, this looks pretty bad!"
Lavi smiled weakly, but it was clear that it was fake. "I'll be alright." he promised, using his Oscar acting skills to persuade the poor girl. "I'll just go to the doctor along with my sis I guess." he laughed much to Chloe's horror.
Chomesuke sighed. "I suppose that's the best idea." she decided, not taking her eyes off of Lavi's blood-stained arm. Then she turned to Chloe firmly. "You need to go to the doctor now, alright? You need to overcome your fears and help Lavi treat his arm, okay?"
Chloe shook her head frantically. "N-no!" she begged. "D-don't leave me alone with him! Please don't go!" she was close to crying now. "He-he's going to kill me as soon as you leave!"
Chomesuke glanced at Lavi, who just gave her a hopeless shrug in return. "I know!" she chirped suddenly. "How about you guys go to the doctor now, and afterwards you can come have lunch with me?" she smiled. "How's that?"
It was Lavi's turn to panic. "Uh, how about some other time?" he laughed nervously. "We wouldn't want to squeeze in your busy schedule-wait, don't you have to do a photo shoot later?"
Chomesuke gave him a look. "That's tomorrow!" she hissed, clearly a bit pissed that he didn't even remember her activities. "And besides," her expression relaxed, "I want to get to know your sister better!"
Chloe nodded. "I-I think that's a great idea!" she managed to squeak. It didn't matter what, but anything that she could use to save her life right now would be perfect, because she knew that if she was alone with Lavi once again, she could say good-bye to the world. And with Chomesuke or anybody else around, that redhead wouldn't dare lay a hand on her.
Chomesuke opened her mouth to say something again, but her cellphone suddenly rang and the ringtune of a catchy popsong filled the tense atmosphere. "Excuse me." she said as she reached into her pocket and pulled out an Iphone. "Hello?" she said. "Um, yeah. Yeah? Right now?" she frowned. "Well...if I have to I guess. Okay. Bye. Meet you there in fifteen minutes."
"W-what is it?" Chloe asked nervously, but she wasn't sure she wanted to know.
"I have to go do a commercial for Dior." Chomesuke answered flatly as the expression on Lavi's face immediately brightened. "Sorry, but I don't think I can make it for lunch with you guys toda-"
"Well that sucks!" Lavi sighed but there was a heavy dose of excitement in his tone. "I guess we'll just have to-"
"Rearrange." Chomesuke finished. "How about you come to my place for lunch on Saturday?"
"What?"
The pretty brunette shrugged. "Your sister seems to be an interesting person." she smiled at Chloe. "Sorry, but I don't even know your name." she stuck out her hand. "I'm Chomesuke by the way."
Chloe took the popstar's hands with her own sweaty ones, and if she hadn't been so scared she would probably have fainted by now at the sight of this celebrity. "I-I'm Chloe." she stammered. "N-nice to meet you. I think it would be a great idea for us to have lunch together on Saturday, if it's alright with you." and that was how desperate she was to save herself.
Chomesuke laughed." Of course!" she said brightly. "Then Saturday it is then!" she turned to Lavi and gave him a wink. "You know where I live."
Lavi rubbed the back of his head, glaring at Chloe from the corner of his eye as he tried to get out of that one. "Uh-"
"Well, I have to go now!" Chomesuke declared. "My manager will be pretty pissed if I don't make it on time." she giggled. "See you guys on Saturday!"
"Bye." Chloe waved as the stunningly beautiful girl gave her hair a little toss and walked away from the bush, high heels clicking to prove they were Chanel as she made her graceful yet energetic movements.
Once they were left alone, Lavi gave her a menacing glare with his blazing emerald eye.
"Don't think I can't kill you just because she saved you in the moment." he said calmly, anger yet amusement reflecting in his eye.
"Will you?" Chloe asked. After all, murderers were murderers, and it didn't really matter when or where they killed you as long as they got they objective. She fiddled with her fingers nervously. But...would he? Kill her when they had promised to go to Chomesuke's place on Saturday? Was he willing to take the risk of suspicion?
"Nah, I don't think I'll be able to get away with it if I kill you now." Lavi said with a yawn. Then he smirked. "But that doesn't mean I can't kidnap you."
Chloe froze. "Wait, wha-"
Before she could scream, she felt her head hit something hard and her throat captured her voice as she collapsed onto the earth.
Thump.
Lavi shrugged as he watched over her limp body.
"Sorry 'bout that."
Chloe blinked open her eyes.
Wind swept across the pale meadow, carrying it with splattering rain.
She sat up quickly-she was rested in the middle of the meadow, hair blowing in random directions and wet, cool rain pelting her face.
Where am I? she thought but her voice still rang out loud in the skies. Wait...am I dead?
Quickly she made her way through the pale dry grass, but she was still surrounded by the same, unchanging scenery that seemed to go on forever. Where the hell was she and if this was heaven then where were the damn angels?!
Chloe sighed; she was just about to stomp her foot in anger when a figure suddenly appeared from the mist of the rain and stared at her.
"D-dad?" she choked as the man took a step towards her-she hadn't seen him in a long time. He still looked the same.
"Chloe." he said, voice as cold as the rain that was striking her face. "Yuko and I will be moving to a new apartment. You need to pack your things."
She glared at him. "How could you?" she hissed. "How could you do this to us? Yuko doesn't freaking care about any of us!"
The expression on his face remained the same. "I know it is normal for teenagers to feel anger towards their stepmothers," he said. "But I'm giving you a chance to start over again as a family. Will you move in with us or not?"
Chloe laughed. "Um, I'm not going to." she smiled. "What are you going to do?"
Her dad just looked at her with hollow eyes.
"I'll kill you."
She was jolted awake by that last sentence, her own panting breath echoing through her ears as she sat up straight and looked around the scenery.
Chloe blinked as the sight of a leather couch and modern-looking furniture came into view instead of the windy meadow that had appeared in her dream. Wait...
"Where am I?" she asked out loud, surprised that her voice was still a bit strangled.
Then she remembered; Lavi Bookman.
"You're at my house!" the redhead suddenly chirped, causing her to flinch. Chloe blinked as Lavi plopped himself onto the white leather couch beside her and began bandaging up his arm. She couldn't help staring-wait. What exactly had happened and why the hell was she sitting beside the hottest star in Japan again?
"Ya know," Lavi said as he concentrated on wrapping up his arm. "You're pretty heavy. I really suggest you go on a diet or something..." he glanced up and his emerald eye shimmered. "You don't just eat cheeseburgers all day, do ya?"
Chloe felt her face turning red with anger. "What are you talking about?!" she hissed. "I thought you killed me!"
Lavi gave her an odd look. "Yeah, I'm totally going to murder you right in front of my apartment, right after Chomesuke said to go to her place on Saturday." he said with a heavy dose of sarcasm. "I guess that won't seem suspicious at all!"
Chloe brought her knees up to her chest. "Then...why did you bring me here?" she whispered in fear. She hadn't expected him to carry her back into his apartment...her plan had actually been to run away while she had the chance, but...Chloe glanced at the redhead. It obviously wasn't possible now.
Lavi let out a sigh. "Well, my original idea was to kill you and bury your body around here-" she gave him a horrified look-"since you heard the shit that I said to Komui on the phone," he said, "But that stupid woman just had to interfere, and now I don't know what to do with you."
Chloe blinked. "How about you let me go?" she suggested.
Lavi's loud laugh echoed through the room. "G-good one!" he managed to say in between bursts of giggle fits.
Chloe furrowed her eyebrows together-she didn't understand. What was Lavi talking about on the phone and why did he have to kidnap her?
"Will you let me go if I promise I won't tell anyone what I heard?" Chloe asked with a tinge of hope in her voice. Well...maybe it would work. Maybe if she promised not to tell anyone the fact of killing Tyki, she could remain safe and keep her life. But then...what would happen next? To Tyki and practically the whole rule of justice?
"Do you honestly think I'm going to fall for that?" Lavi raised an eyebrow. "You heard every single freaking detail that I said to Komui on the phone...so do you really think that I'd let you walk away with that information? Really?"
"But..." Chloe trailed off. "Why do you have to kill Tyki? What has he done to you? And what the heck is a Noah?"
Lavi looked mildly irritated. "It's top secret information." he answered. "And the last person that I would tell is you, Miss. Paparazzi."
"It's Chloe."
Lavi made an invisible checklist with his hand. "Alright then," he said, "I'll make sure to tell the Funeral Home that name then. Uh, so how do you spell that again?"
Chloe narrowed her eyes. "You ass." she hissed under her breath. "Listen, I don't know what you are and why do you have the strangest conversations, but you're nothing good and soon the police will find out about your actions."
Lavi scratched the back of his head. "Uh, I don't think they will." he laughed nervously. "You see, I'm kinda one of them myself."
"What do you mea-"
Her sentence was cut off by the sudden ring of a cellphone. Quickly she reached into the pocket of her jeans and pulled out the model from the last century-the caller ID screen showed a barely visible name-Allen Walker.
Yes! She had help now.
"Who is it?" Lavi asked curiously as he crawled over to peer over. "You aren't going to tell this Allen guy about your kidnapper, are you?"
Chloe stiffened. It was as if he could read her mind. But then, it was really quite obvious, since anyone in that situation would immediately ask somebody for help, she guessed and ignored Lavi.
"H-hello?" Chloe answered the phone as Lavi crept closer to her. "A-Allen?"
"Chloe, I called you a bloody five times!" the British boy on the other end exclaimed. "Where are you?"
Lavi snickered at the heavy accent on the other end of the line as Chloe rolled her eyes. "Sorry, Allen." she replied and glanced at the redhead from the corner of her eyes. "Some loser guy kept following me around."
Allen gasped. "Well, that a Wanker he'd be!" he exclaimed in shock. "Are you alright?"
Chloe sighed. "Um, I suppose so-"
"Ngh, Chloe!" Lavi suddenly moaned.
She stared at him and her jaw dropped open with a clunk.
"Erm, who was that?" Allen asked nervously as Lavi began making random sex noises.
"Oh, God!" the redhead groaned, coming in close to the phone so his voice was loud and clear. "How'd you do that?"
"C-Chloe?" Allen's voice seemed to be trembling. "W-who is that with you over there?"
"It's just um," the brunette bit her lip as Lavi carried on with his inappropriate sounds. "I don't know."
"You don't know?" Allen exclaimed in disbelief. "Chloe, if your saying one bit of a lie then I'll come over there and-"
"I'm sorry Allen!" she blurted out in panic. "I'll talk to you later!"
And then she hung up, leaving them both to sit in silence.
Until Lavi burst into hysterical laughter. "Oh my god!" he said between laughing fits. "That British dude probably thinks you're b-bonking it up with me!" he gasped and then rolled onto the floor in a fit of laughter, much to Chloe's dismay. She didn't know whether she feared him more or hated him just as much, but either way, she wanted to get out of here fast.
Oh, and she was very confused. And mad. And she wanted to murder him more than he wanted to murder her.
"I hate you." she mumbled under her breath. "I hate you very, very much."
Lavi stopped laughing. "Aw," his green eye twinkled brightly. "When girls say that, they usually mean the opposite."
He winked as Chloe let out a depressing sigh. "I don't know what you are and what you want with me now," she muttered, "But I will hate you forever and always."
Lavi widened his eyes. "But why?" he faked a shocked expression. "I didn't even kill you!"
Maybe you should have. She wanted to say but was interrupted by the another ring of the phone. Only this time it was Lavi's cellphone and not her's.
"Hello there!" Lavi purred as he picked up his shiny iphone. "How's it goooooing?"
"Calm down, Agent 49." a deep voice hissed. "We have a mission."
Chloe blinked. What? Agent 49?
His interest immediately seemed to rise. "We do?" he echoed in surprise. "On what?"
"It's on Tyki." the voice whispered. "His movie premiere is tonight...he might have a bomb."
Lavi, for once, seemed to look serious. "Okay, I understand." he replied calmly. "I'll go."
"7:00 sharp, don't be late like you usually are."
Lavi laughed. "Promise I won't be." he assured and with that he hung up, leaving Chloe to sit there, stunned.
The redhead sighed as he ran a hand through his hair. "You heard that too, didn't you?" he wanted to know, even though the answer was clear.
Chloe nodded slowly, not sure where to begin.
"You-you're an agent?" she croaked.
Lavi shrugged. "Well, yes, since there's no point in hiding it anymore." he shook his head sadly. "You see, I'm not actually an actor. I might have good acting skills, but that's only because I'm an agent that works for the government." he grinned. "Oh, and of course a hot bod adds an advantage to my disguise."
Chloe couldn't believe what she was hearing. "S-So...you're disguised as a teen hearthrob?" she croaked out. "It's just a cover-up?"
Lavi smiled. "Right on."
Chloe almost felt like collapsing onto the ground again. "But why?" she asked incredulously.
Lavi's green eye gleamed.
"Because your Tyki Mikk is a fucking terrorist."
haha, sorry if this chapter was a bit confusing! Things will sum up next time (yes, there will be a next time), in Chapter 3! I've had this idea for a while now and it has alot of
potential, so this story will get better and more interesting later on! Well, that's it for now, see ya laters! ;P
Oh, and it would be awesome if you could drop off a review! tHANKYA-VERYMUCH! :3
