Chapter Six- Newcomer
Ritsuka winced, trying to sit upright in his seat. Natsuo was completely past out, twitching as he dreamed his hell over and over in his sleep. They both were emotionally traumatized, wishing this would all just end.
Nisei was talking with Ritsu, who had a tight grip on Mori and a new girl, with light pink hair and round blue eyes. She seemed extremely nervous, and looked like she was about to throw up and any given second.
Ritsuka hissed in pain as he shifted in his seat, trying to get comfortable. He laid his head against the window, the cold glass felt good against his forehead, which pounded in pain. He had been drugged, and all five of his senses were sensitive at the moment.
He sat bolt upright at the sound of a door slamming, which had sounded like a bomb going off right next to his head. He placed his hands over his head, cradling it slowly, trying to stop the loud ringing in his ears.
He looked over at Mori, who was sitting next to the newest of the group. She blushed, noticing Ritsuka looking at her. She looked at the floor before speaking.
"Hi, Im Yuiko. What's your name?"
"Im Ritsuka"
They sat in silence, not saying anything after that. Ritsuka stared at the sun slowly setting, the sky filled with purples, pinks, oranges and reds. It was a beautiful sight, something Ritsuka didn't want to forget.
Natsuo slowly sat up, waking up from the bumpy ride as they rode over potholes in the street. He sat up slowly, trying not to cause himself too much pain. He had gotten the worst out of the two boys. The man had been aggressive and violent, which did not end all to well with the small red head.
Mori hadn't dared talk about what she had to go through, a look of shame on her face as she stared out her window. Ritsuka sighed, looking at the setting sun once more. It made him feel warm and safe, like Seimei's arms.
How much he longed for that embrace, his brother's soothing words calming him down. He wanted to fall asleep in his lap, to feel his brother caress his hair, sending shivers down his spine.
He had always enjoyed those tender moments with him, he always felt loved and cared for around him.
As Nisei stopped at a light, Ritsuka saw a tiny little boy drag his older brother down the sidewalk, yelling and pointing towards a park, jumping up and down as his older sibling laughed and picked him up over his shoulder.
As the small Aoyagi watched them walk off, their forms changed, and morphed into his and Seimei's. Seimei taking him to the park, Ritsuka laughing as he hung over his older brothers shoulder, excitedly pointing at the park before them.
Seimei and his younger self slowly faded back to the two unknown brothers. Ritsuka watched them as they drove by before sighing and sitting back in his seat and resting his head on the window.
He felt his eyelids get heavy, sleep creeping into his mind. His older brother flashed through his mind, his smile, his eyes, everything of him perfect.
Seimei coughed as he opened his eyes, smoke filling his vision. He looked around, blood sliding down the side of his head. Youji was unconscious next to him, blood trickling down his forehead and the side of his mouth.
He had fallen asleep at the wheel…had crashed into a semi truck, and had rolled over ten times. He slowly crawled over to Youji, shaking the teal colored neko lightly, afraid the small boy was dead.
Youji stayed unconscious, limp in his seat. Seimei swore lightly under his breathe, untangling the small boy from his seatbelt, and started to drag him out of the wrecked vehicle.
Seimei hissed in pain, cutting himself with the shattered glass that littered the ground around them, completely out of the car. He coughed, gasping for air. He could hear sirens in the distance and swore, they had to get away.
If they were hospitalized, they would miss the auction. And if they missed the auction, they lose their loved ones. He wiped the blood of his face and hoisted Youji onto his back and ran, people yelling after him to wait for an ambulance.
He ran quickly, weaving around other cars, drivers staring in shock as he passed their windows. He needed to find someone who could clean their wounds without questioning him, without holding him up.
He also needed a new car, and a fast one at that. He jumped over a railing and slid down a hill, holding Youji on his chest so he wouldn't get injured any more than he already had been.
The tumbled into a bush and lay there, one still unconscious and the other exhausted, to sore and bruised to move. He breathed heavily for a moment, resting. He was about to get up when he froze.
He heard voices, twigs snapping. He lay there, paralyzed as police officers slowly crept by, looking in every other bush.
"A witness said he jumped over the rail, so they had to have landed here somewhere"
Seimei closed his eyes, praying he wouldn't be found, or that Youji would wake up screaming in pain. He held his breathe, a police officer leaning down towards their bush. He waited, sure the officer would start yelling his discovery of finding them.
When he heard nothing he opened his eyes. The officers were gone. He sat up slowly and peeked out through a couple of leaves. There was no trace of any other living being present. He shrugged it off, turning to Youji.
He was slowly regaining consciousness, his eyes fluttered open, looking around at the bushes before hissing in pain. His hand flew to his head, moaning in pain. He didn't look or feel too well.
He sat up and looked at Seimei, before cracking a small smile.
"You've never looked better, Seimei"
"Ditto, Youji"
The small neko boy laughed weakly, his chest sore and slightly swollen. He stood slowly, and looked around. Seimei stood as well, rubbing his bruised neck.
"Where are we?"
Seimei shook his head, "I don't know, he highway is just right there, though" He pointed at passing cars up the hill.
"Let's follow it!" Youji exclaimed, marching off into the trees. Seimei smiled a bit and shook his head, following the small boy.
Ritsu leaned back in his chair, lighting his tenth cigarette of the day before dialing his phone. He waited as the line rang, waiting for his contact to answer. Three rings later, a voice rang from the other line.
"Yes?"
"Hey" Ritsu greeted, resting his feet on his desk, flipping through a folder. Nisei had brought him quiet the fortune with the three nekos. Their clients were very happy and satisfied.
"Eh, Ritsu? What do you want? Im busy."
"Is that any way to greet a friend, Nagisa?" Ritsu tapped his cigarette, getting rid of the used ash on the other end. He smirked, hearing an irritated sigh on the other end.
"Like I said, what do you want Ritsu?"
"Now, now Nagisa. Calm down. I just wanted to tell you that you have three pieces of gold on their way to you with Nisei. They earned me quiet the fortune here. And no, none of them were fucked"
"You're a lucky bastard Ritsu. If they had lost their virginity in your care, You'd be sorry" Ritsu laughed, tossing his cigarette out of his window. He sat upright in his seat, turning his phone onto speaker as he started typing reports onto his laptop.
"Your threats aren't all that Nagisa. But I wanted to tell you about their little…eh lets say 'situation'"
"What are you talking about?" Ritsu chuckled, loving the fact that he had the woman eating out of the palm of his hands.
"Turns out two of the captives had loved ones following them. They were almost taken back."
He clamped his hands over his ears, Nagisa's loud, shrill, world shattering, high pitched shriek filled his office and carried down the hall. Why was this woman so damn irritating?
"What do you mean they have loved ones following them?! That can't be!! It's not acceptable!!"
"Nagisa please keep it down. Just relax. They got away and lost the stalkers. Nothing is wrong."
He continues to type, listening to the woman on the other end rant about secrecy and privacy. And also something about his hygiene. But that wasn't of importance, and it didn't help her gain his attention either.
"Just make sure nobody finds them!"
The line went dead. Ritsu blinked then shrugged, if someone found them it wouldn't be his problem. He had gotten his share and was no longer part of the scheme.
Okay that's chapter six. Next chapter is coming up! So review, review, review!! I love them!
