Brace Face Part Two
Tai slowly opened his eyes. His head was pounding and the bright light shining down on him stabbed into his brain like needles. He had no idea what had happened, all he knew was that he was in some sort of bed and there was a figure standing to the right of him.
"Where am I?" he groggily asked the figure.
"Shhh, don't talk. You need your strength. You've been out for a long time." The gently voice of the figure replied.
"How long?"
"Six hours. I was starting to wonder if you'd ever wake up. Now that you're finally awake, can I get you anything?"
"Tylenol and maybe something to drink."
"Your wish is my command."
The figure walked out of the room. 'Her voice, it sounds familiar.' Tai thought to himself. His eyes started to focus and he saw that he was in someone's bedroom. A girl's bedroom by the looks of it. He tried to get up, only to discover that he was tied to the bed. His wrists were tied to the head of the bed and his ankles to the foot. When the figure returned, he immediately recognized her. "You! I should've known!"
"Why, what ever do you mean, Taichi?" she said putting her hand to her mouth in a shocked expression.
"Don't play dumb with me, metal mouth! You're the one who knocked me out, aren't you?"
"Don't be ridiculous! I found you laying unconscious in the middle of the park. That kid with the blond hair tried to off you so that he could steal your girl friend!"
"Matt!? No way, he'd never do that! He's my friend and besides, he has his sights on another girl! I know it was you!"
"You have no proof!"
"Oh, I've got proof! First of all, if you weren't so jealous of Sora and planning on stealing me from her, then how did you know my name? Second, if you found me laying unconscious in the park and wanted to help me, then why the hell am I tied to the bed? Third….."
"Alright, alright! It was me! But I had just cause!"
"Like what?"
"Well, when I saw you on the bus, I knew we were made for each other! I could just sense it! And I had to get back at that bitch for what she did to me in the park anyway. Still, I'll never forget how happy I was when I found you in the park. How free I felt when I embraced you and kissed you before that bitch showed up. How pure and innocent I felt when I held you, all those years ago.."
"What the hell do you mean 'all those years ago'? That happened last week!"
"I know that! It just felt like years, without you by my side Taichi."
"Oh, brother…"
"It doesn't matter now. Soon the world will be rid of Sora Takenouchi."
"What?!"
"That's right."
"If you so much as hurt one hair on her head.."
"Who said I was going to destroy her. As much as I'd like that honor myself, I have to admit, she's a formidable opponent. Fortunately for me, my family is rich, so I've hired a few people to do the dirty work for me."
"Hit men?"
"Well, not exactly. I've hired a few martial arts students about our age to take care of her."
"Kids?"
"They are to over take her and make her demise look like an accident. Won't that be more interesting though? Having kids as my hit men, giving Sora a fighting chance. It'll be kind of like a spy movie, only this time, the good guys have the unfair advantage and like all the others, good will triumph."
"What do you mean 'the good guys have the unfair advantage'?"
"In all spy movies, the good guy has to penetrate the bad guy's hide out and stuff, but we're the good guys here, Taichi. She's the evil one!"
"There is nothing evil about Sora!"
"Oh, what's so great about her anyway?"
"Well, for starters, SHE HAS NEVER KNOCKED ME UNCONSCIOUS AND TIED ME TO A FUCKING BED!!!!"
"Oh, Taichi. You make me laugh! Someday, you'll realize that I'm only doing this for your own good."
With that, Chitose took out a handkerchief soaked with some sort of chemical and held it under his nose. "By the way, my name's Chitose. It was nice to talk to you." Those were the last words Tai heard before losing consciousness.
