Akira: Hoorah, chapter 7~ : D
Akira: . - . Now I'm all alone. Oh no!!
To Ocean Starfly: ; D I like to update fast. Because I forget easily. The disease in here was actually inspired by own inept to remember things for too long, lol. And, I went as Ciel this year, since I'm short and cute enough to pass. ; D Lol.
I do not own Switch or any of the characters. If I did, it would be major yaoi time. - o - All I own are King and the story line. Although I doubt I even own that. So I own King. o. o Yah.
"Is he dead? Is he dead?"
"King, I do not believe someone can die from just taking a bit of Flower…"
Kai flinched. His head hurt, but for some reason it didn't really bother him. He tried to open his eyes, but found it very hard.
"Oh, c'mon, he hasn't even woken up yet! See?"
A gunshot went off.
"This is why I told all you fuckers to not use drugs on people! I had plans for this kid, but now I have to fuckin' wean him off the damn Flower before I can do anything!!"
Another gunshot.
Next thing Kai knew, someone had picked him up, and he was being carried. He was scared to know where he was going.
"Where do you want him, King?"
"Mmm… Let's just bring him to my room right now. In his state, anyone can do anything to him. I'd like that NOT to happen, thank you."
Kai heard a door open, before he was placed upon a bed. A few seconds passed, before something cool hit his face, and made him wake up.
"Uwaah!" He yelled, as his eyes popped open.
He came face-to-face with a Great Dane, probably around five feet tall…
And it freaked him out.
"Oh my God!"
"Ranger! Get down, boy!"
The monster dog woofed, before getting off of the bed, and going to stand next to King, who sat in a chair, staring at Kai, Tobari behind him.
Kai scooted to the back wall. "Wh… what…"
King sighed. "Yup. Just as I thought." He stood up. "Kai, try to think as clearly as you can."
"Umm.." Kai tried,
and tried,
and tried to keep his mind on one thing at a time, but it would begin to wander, and he would into a haze, before moving on to something else to think of, but then moving on from that.
He was confused about this, but that feeling soon disappeared. Why did he care? Why would he need to care? Why was he still alive? How could a dog get so big?
King smiled at seeing Kai's eyes move, as his thoughts moved from one thing to another.
"Yep, you're definitely being affected by Flower. Do not worry; I cannot start my plan until you are off the stuff. It will take a few hours, but.."
"Oh, okay, I see. Wait. Start what? And why are we having such a friendly conversation?"
King laughed. "Why indeed?" He asked, as he stood.
"I will be back when I begin to hear you scream, Kai Eto."
----- Hal ----
"Mr. Kurabayashi! You need to rest!"
"Fuck that!!" Hal yelled. "That fucker has my partner, and none of you can stop me!"
"Hal, please, calm down.."
"Fuck you, Kaji! I'm not gonna wait around, when King could already be killing him, or.."
No, he didn't want to think of that possibility.
Kai couldn't be dead yet.
It just couldn't happen.
Not to his Kai…
He tried to get up again, but was pushed back by a nurse.
"Damn it! Let me go!"
"I'm sorry, Hal.." Kaji began, sighing. "But you are in no condition. We are doing all we can. Also…" He took out a ruffled piece of paper.
"We found this."
Hal took it angrily, and opened it up.
Follow the music.
My plans have changed.
Prepare to see the world crumble.
--- Kai ---
The pain was beginning to set in. A horrible headache, that seemed to pulsate throughout his body in ripples of fiery pain. His palms pressed against his closed eyes, trying to make the pain stop.
It hurts…. He thought to himself.
He continually faded in and out. Each time he did, he came back to seeing something thrown across the room, or him up against the door.
It was confusing, each and every time it happened.
The pain let up for a few minutes, letting Kai get a hold of himself.
That's when he heard it
Softly at first, and then louder.
The soft sound of a Cello.
It played a song he was only slightly familiar with.
Bach's Cello Suite Number 2, IV – Sarabande
The saddening tune ran throughout the quiet warehouse, seeming to make it saddening.
Scary, almost.
Hal could simply listen, entranced by the beautiful piece.
Slowly, his feet began to guide his body out of the room, and towards the music.
There, in a clearing, almost all by himself sat Duke.
The beautiful Mahogany Full Sized Cello leaned against his small body, as his fingers moved with grace over the well crafted instrument. His eyes were closed, as the bow swayed back and forth across the strings, producing the melancholic noise.
Ranger lay by his side, seeming to enjoy the solo player. Tobari leaned against a stack of boxes, his eyes closed, arms crossed.
Almost all too soon, the tune was over. King looked up, and saw Kai. He smiled. "I see you are already being weaned off of the drug. How long has it been since you took it? Seven hours?"
"About.. that long." Kai panted.
He really did not see King as an enemy for some reason..
More like..
A wayward child.
King slowly put down the delicate instrument, and approached Kai, Ranger standing and following close behind. "What did you think of my music?"
"It is… very pretty. Where did you learn?"
King laughed. "I seem to have forgotten." He said sadly. "Most of my younger life is gone. I've only recently begun to lose my most recent memories."
The room was silent between the two. "What would happen if you were to be taken of the drug?"
King looked up at the ceiling, before at Kai. "Then the process I have been trying to avoid would come full blown. I have only just recently recovered most of my speech."
Kai nodded.
King sighed. "You should go back to rest, Kai. The next fit of pain will be back soon, and it will be hard to stand."
"… Why are you keeping me here?"
King froze. "I beg your pardon?"
Kai's eyebrows knitted together. "Why? Why am I here? You could easily kill me, and yet here I am!"
King seemed to be thinking of this, before looking at Kai with a smile. "You will be my witness."
"Witness? Witness to what?"
"Witness to the end of Syndictive. End of this underground world as we know it. And…" He paused. "The end of the search for sWitch. I need a witness to tell everyone we were not simply drug dealers. We were people who were trying to make this world better."
"If so, then… why Flower?! Why?"
King looked at Kai, his pupils small. "That is a secret I cannot tell you."
"Ergh.."
--- 2 Hours later ---
Kai had finally did it.
He was off the drug.
Now that he could think, it was weird.
Was there a drug that was so short lived?
No wonder Flower racked in so much money. With as short as it lasted, people would have to buy bulk amounts at a time.
Through all this time, King had continued to play his cello. Now it was silent, as King stood in the doorway with the huge bow.
"Tell me.." Kai mumbled. "Where are we?"
King smiled. "An old music warehouse. One of my clients owns the place, lets us use it. That way it is not under our names. It is under his. No one will know. Plus, he is done with Flower, but still gets money from us for using this warehouse."
"Nnn.." Mumbled Kai as he looked around. He finally go a good look at the walls.
Words were scrawled into the wall.
And it confused Kai.
Kill.
Murder.
Retribution.
Why is no one seeing me?
Don't leave me.
I'm scared.
I don't want to die.
I don't want to forget.
I don't want to lose what makes me me…
All those were written on the wall, including those that were scrawled in illegible handwriting, and could not be read.
"King.."
"Oh." King smiled. "You like my walls? Apparently I still have feelings."
He laughed, as he turned around and left.
Kai could simply stare after him.
What was going to become of him?
He lay down, and began to weep.
"Hal…" He mumbled through sobs. "I need you…"
; P My chapters will be kinda short since I'm getting more and more into the storyline. It should be backwards, shouldn't it?! Lol. X D Anyways, review and all that good stuff.
