Chapter Nine: Lies in the Truth
A few hours have passed since Kaito had left to get guardianship. Kizaki knew Kaito wouldn't be denied. Children were the new 'rats' of the world after all to most people and were practically handed out like animals at a cheap animal shelter. People accuse them of sucking up funds and food supplies. The world had become so greedy.
A sigh escaped Kizaki as she worked with the IV, Len finally having relaxed enough for her to get it in. A smile crossed her lips as she moved to sit in the chair next to the bed. "Shionsan should be back soon. Okay?" She stated even though Len was still out causing Kizaki to sigh.
She was worried. Kizaki worried for all of her young patients, their survival rate was so low anymore. If it weren't for the adults in the world who cared there would probably be no children. The pending of the apocalypse perhaps.
Ezeiru stood outside Len's room simply staring in. An awkward smile was on his face almost as if he was planning something, though whatever it was wasn't very clear.
Kaito returned to the hospital and told the front desk he was going to Len's room just so they knew he was there. When he got to the hall of Len's room he made a confused face from seeing Ezeiru standing outside of the room.
He walked up slowly and looked at him with almost a glare though not quite. "Hello?" he said somewhat quietly, just to get their attention.
Ezeiru turned and looked at Kaito. "Ah, Kaitosan. You look well." He stated before looking back to the room.
"I didn't know THAT is what you had taken in." Ezeiru stated almost a little smugly. "I suppose it's good to see Lenkyun is doing well. Haha. Pitiful child..." He stated before moving to sit on the bench the two had previously met on. "I take it his sister... Rin I believe it is, is also doing well?"
Kaito's eyes narrowed nearly protectively as he listened to the man speak of Len and Rin. He moved over to the bench though he did not sit on it, standing a little across the hall but close enough to converse with. "She is doing well, but how do you know them?" he asked inquisitively.
"I work at the shelter the two had ran away from. That sinful child. I remember it almost as if it was yesterday." He crossed his arms over his chest, eying Kaito with narrowed eyes. "The day he took his sister, she was to be adopted out to a rather wealthy family. I suppose jealousy got the better of him; forcing both of them into unhappiness." Ezeiru smiled as he talked. His eyes still lied on Kaito, unmoving.
"Sinful, hm?" he asked, looking to Len's room though a smile crossed his face when he spoke of their unhappiness. "I mean to change their unhappiness, even if it kills me." he mentioned, the seriousness in his voice uncanny, telling him that Kaito would literally give his life to make them happy. "There is a reason Len took his sister then, but I highly doubt jealousy was it." His deep blue eyes shifted back to look at the man, an un-trusting look in his eyes.
"Oh, there are plenty of reason why Lenkyun left." Another smug look crossed Ezeiru's face. His eyes almost narrowed into a glare though it faded. "He was turned down by someone he admired; obviously the boy can't handle rejection well. He ran away. Just like a small... fleeting... butterfly." He stated. "Forever flying away from whoever wishes to get close to him."
"Butter..fly..." Kaito said softly though he shook his head. "It doesn't matter anymore. He ran away from whatever shelter he was in, but I am now the legal guardian of him. That is all that matters." Kaito gave him one last narrowed look before he turned and walked towards Len's door. "If you'll excuse me." he said politely and then entered his room. Once the door closed behind him he let out a soft sigh, his heart was beating fast from fear though he couldn't explain why.
Ezeiru smirked, standing up from the bench and heading to Arika's room. "I doubt even you can remove the black dye upon his wings, foolish man." He stated though he knew Kaito could not hear him. Another smile crossed his lips. "Won't be long now."
Kizaki looked at Kaito as he entered the room. She gave him a worried look, noting his expression. "Are you alright, Shionsan?"
"... I'm fine." He said he was, though he looked scared almost. He shook his head to right himself and gave her a smile. "I've done the paperwork and I am now Len and Rin's legal guardian." he mentioned, walking more into the room and to Len's bedside.
"How is he...?" he asked, worried about if something happened while he was gone.
Kizaki smiled as she stood up from the chair and bowed to Kaito. "He's doing well. I managed to get the IV in so he should be able to regain some strength within the next couple hours." A concerned look did quickly cross her face however it faded fast. "We'll just monitor him and pray he doesn't have another outburst like this morning..."
"Thank you, Doctor." He bowed to her slightly in return and looked back down to Len. His hand came to rest over Len's gently though he looked like he was in deep thought now over something but he did not mention what. "Happiness..." He spoke softly, almost quiet enough not to be heard but it still could be.
Kizaki simply watched Kaito. Something obviously shook him up though she felt it best not to ask questions.
Before long she headed to the door. "I'll be back in a bit to check on him. Take care." She walked out.
He watched her leave before he shifted up and closer to the bed side. His hand came to brush Len's hair softly with his fingertips though he smiled and withdrew them soon after. "Maybe something happened at the shelter that made you take Rin and escape..." He scoffed slightly to himself. "I wouldn't doubt it now a day…"
