Chapter Three: A Ray of Hope.


The maids, dressed in black and white uniforms and knee-length boots, hurried to open the massive doors for their young master. The heavy wood and glass door opened without a sound, the clacks of the young master's boots vibrated the air as he walked.

"Welcome home, young master Atobe." Tens of voices echoed through the house. All the girls, no younger than seventeen, bowed down politely when Keigo walked past them. "May we take care of the one in your arms young master?"

Keigo looked at the small frame in his arms, still fallen deep in his sleep and headed deeper into the house. "No, it will not be needed."

The maids bowed once more and started to hurry back to their respective jobs; everyone in the house knew that the elder Atobe did not tolerate it when the staff wasn't doing what they were supposed to. And no one wanted to get punished.

Again.

To be truthful, as much as Keigo could be to himself, he still could not understand why he had saved the child in his arms. Sure, he was kind of cute and probably will be a good and loyal servant if trained properly, but that wasn't what he wanted for him. He had heard that the modified creatures sometimes had abilities to control people's minds, but this one seemed too weak to use it, not to mention that this specific ability was given them just recently.

"I wonder what will they say about this." He sighed,"Maybe they won't understand after all. But I'm not my father."

A small light cut through the darkness of the corridor in front of Keigo, becoming larger the closer he came to the room he and his lovers were using as a bedroom. He hadn't even gotten to the entrance to the room yet when someone emerged from the light, his eyes searching the darkness.

"Kei." A smile could be heard in the speaker's voice. "You're back. Finally."

Keigo felt a smile of his own creeping up his face. With a quiet 'heh' he moved again, following behind Fuji into the room. His father knew about their relationship, but that doesn't mean that he was supporting it.

He just endures it for the time being, that's all there is to it.

"Kei-chan, welcome back." Seiichi lifted his eyes up from the book he was reading, the cover shining golden in the artificial lights. "How did it- Who's that? In your arms." He closed the said book and gently laid it on the glass coffee table.

Fuji, who was still standing by the door, peeked over Keigo's shoulder, a line of electric blue glinting for a moment behind the honey colored bangs. "Kei, that's a… No way…"

"Ahh… He is. Somehow, when I saw him… I.. my legs moved on their own and then… Well, you can see how it turned out." He adjusted his hold on the still sleeping child, the other two now moving closer to take a look at the beast. "I don't know what came over me. But, I have no intentions to use him like my father does. He hasn't done anything to deserve that kind of treatment."

Seiichi gently touched the sleeping kid's face with the tip of his finger and slid it over the now smooth skin, waiting for a reaction. "He's a returnee, isn't he? His condition is better than I expected, they usually die before anyone can actually buy them, or not too long after."

"He almost did, I got him to Matsuda in time." Keigo walked over to one of the dark red sofas and lied the child there, letting out a sigh right after, "But what should I do now? And where are those two, the piano room again?" he allowed his tired eyes to travel around the room and search for his other two lovers.

Fuji padded over the room and hugged the tired teen, bumping their foreheads together. "Um, Kuni wanted to listen to Gen's play a little bit longer; it has been a long time after all. They brought the piano back just yesterday, he missed it a lot." Seiichi sat next to the cat creature and ran his fingers though the boy's hair in the mean time. "And that one will be fine; he's in good hands now, ne?"

"Kei, do you know his name?" Seiichi looked with interest at the twitching ears, maybe a sigh of their owner waking up, chin supported by his hand. "But then again, they don't talk, do they? Humans sure have become ugly…" the disgust shown in his voice for a split second.

"I think… he can talk, maybe. But, I don't know his name." Keigo ruffled Fuji's hair; the softness calmed him down, the stress sipping out of his body just from that one simple touch. "He said something though. In a language I've never heard before." His eyes closed and now only the blackness was all he saw.

"But…" Fuji and Seiichi looked at each other, "They aren't supposed to talk; the scientist didn't give them that kind of ability." Fuji whispered and looked at the boy again, electric blue searching for something.

Seiichi crossed his legs, one over the other and smirked, "There were those models that could. Rarity yes, but they exist and if he is one of them… I'm sure that if the government were to find out..." he twirled his finger in the air. "You know the rest yourselves, don't you?"

A heavy silence settled between them.

A soft rustling of clothes made the three to look at the boy who was slowly waking up, a soft moan, probably a sign of pain, fluttering though his lips as he sat up. Carefully, as if he was hoping not to see something in front of him, the long black eyelashes fluttered open, melted gold was shown to the world and the people around him. After taking in that nothing around him was the same as it was when he was kept in that cold cage, the beast finally noticed his surrounding and the three humans in the room.

Fear clouded his vision at first and he tried to get away from them, trying to jump off the bed. His body started to shake even more when Seiichi moved his hand closer and the beast frantically looked for a way to escape, the golden orbs jumping from one side of the room to the other.

"Shhh… It's ok." Seiichi hand finally managed to grab one of his hands, the small boy curling his body in a ball, his left hand covering the twitching ears and eyes tightly shut. Expecting another beating. "I won't hurt you. It's ok, you're safe now, you're safe." He started to run his hand up and down the trembling child's back.

You're safe now.


"So he fell asleep right after crying in your arms?" Tezuka examined the once again sleeping child in Seiichi's lap. "He must have been through a lot; his hands are covered in scars. Probably, the rest of the body too."

Tezuka and Sanada had entered the room when the child had just fallen asleep in Seiichi's arms. The wet streaks on his face were glistening in the artificial light as the older was running his hand through the dark, emerald colored hair. Fuji had managed to talk Keigo into going sleep after the said man had almost collapsed in his arms; the result of what he had to go through just because of his father.

So they were once again four in the room.

Sanada seemed thoughtful for a moment. "But, what does Keigo intend to do with him now, after getting him out of that place? There must be a reason why he took this one, not someone else."

"Kei said this himself; it was like his body moved on its own. So maybe it's fate, who knows. Because after all," Seiichi tried to get a better hold of the one sleeping in his arms, hoping to carry him to the bed, "There are thing that cannot be explained, they just happen on their own. Those are the small rays of light in this poisoned world we have been forced to live in. Even, if we are the monsters that created it and are now trying to destroy it. Again."

Tezuka was the one that took the small child out of Seiichi's arms, the other obviously wasn't able to do it himself, and receive a quiet, unsaid 'thank you' in return. No words were needed between them. "Not always that is true Seiichi. Fate can never be predicted and not all of the things that happen and cannot be explained are for good. Because, just like you said – we created this."

"Please, change the subject. This is not something we should judge so easily, or can actually." Sanada opened the door to the real bedroom, Keigo already was sleeping in the big bed and Fuji seemed to be waiting for them. "Right now we should go to sleep and tomorrow…" he glanced at the cat boy when Tezuka walked past him, "Think about what to do about him."

The black doors clicked shut and silence and darkness enveloped the house for the night.


A/N: Somehow, I get the feeling that they are so out of character. It's quite frustrating, really.

I probably made you even more confused about the whole thing that you already were, didn't I? So, feel free to ask me anything that you don't get and I will be more than happy to help you. :)
