Chapter 10
Tyson and Kai spent a wonderful night together where they explored each other's bodies, without going out in full, because Tyson was a bit (very) insecure, and didn't feel completely ready for it yet.
When the morning came, they went to breakfast on third class, just to give Tyson a new experience, and began talking about how Tyson could get his grandfather to agree on a way to break the marriage contract that Tyson dreaded to just think about.
Kai decided that he should spend his day with Tala and Rei, since the three hadn't been spending much time together lately. The two men kissed, then went their separate ways for now.
-
Tyson was walking down the corridor to where there were a few cabins, including his, Max's, grandfathers and the family of pests'. He was walking in silence, trying to figure out a way to make sure that his grandfather understood why he didn't want to marry Hilary Tachibana.
He absently nodded to those he passed on his walk, be they friend or just acquaintances. He was still trying to find the right words when he stopped in front of his grandfather's door. He pulled out a key card and unlocked the door.
"Gramps?" Tyson said, as he walked into the room.
Hmm, the old man was probably sleeping in, which happened sometimes when he was really tired.
He walked over to the mini kitchen that was in every cabin, intending of finding himself some water. Tyson was thirsty for some strange reason. He pulled out a glass, and filled it, then drank a bit of it. Tyson walked further into the room, and opened the door to his grandfathers sleeping room.
His grandfather was lying on the bed, seemingly sleeping. Tyson smiled at the sight. It was not usual that he was the one that woke up first. It was always grandfather that woke him.
But as he walked a bit closer, Tyson briefly wondered where the usual snoring was. His grandfather rarely, if ever, slept without snoring.
He suddenly looked closer, and saw that the chest of the sleeping man wasn't moving.
"Gramps?" he said, hoping it would cause a reaction.
When it didn't, he felt fear.
"Gramps, wake up. I need to talk to you about something."
Tyson took a few steps forth, and now he was standing right beside him. There was no movement or any signs of reaction. It scared Tyson, for some reason.
He put a hand on his grandfather's arm. It was cold as ice.
"No…" He whispered.
The hand moved from the arm to artery that was closer to the hand. There wasn't a pulse.
"It's not possible…"
He looked down on the man, the glass slipping from his numb hand and shattering into a thousand pieces. The water hit his foot, and caused him to break from his shock.
He turned around; tears falling from his eyes and a grief filled expression on his face, and ran from the room.
He screamed; a sound of utter despair that was heard all over the ship.
Some levels below him, Kai looked up at the sound. It sounded like Tyson…
-
He ran, tears falling and sobs were heard. Heads turned, and people looked in the direction that he came from. Some from the staff went to investigate, while the passengers began to gossip about what could have happened. The sound of the sobs became fainter as the midnight haired man was further away from their place.
A woman asked her husband what he thought had happened, and he replied he had no idea, but they would probably be told what it was later on.
-
"KAAAAAAI" He screamed, causing the named man to react by walking fast towards the door. Just as he opened it, he was consumed by a heartbreaking sobbing man that answered to Tyson. "He…" Sobs escaped him when he was trying to speak. "He's…" tears fell and the sobbing continued. "He's dead!" That resulted in a howl of sorrow and despair.
"What?"
"Gramps is deaaaad!" The wail following that declaration almost destroyed their hearing.
"What? How?"
"I don't knooow." Sobs and tears escaped the young man that was captured in sorrow.
Kai held the other one to his chest, and led him to the bed, as it would be easier to lie down when he was crying. He sent a pleading look to Rei and Tala, whom had watched the happening in silence, and they got up and left the room.
The dual haired man looked down on the other, soothing him and later to let him fall asleep after crying what he had of tears. Kai himself felt the loss, and knew it was only his strong self control that kept his tears from flowing freely.
-
"Captain?"
"Yes?" said Mr. Dickenson.
"I assume you heard the shout earlier, and some of the men went to investigate what had happened."
"And?"
"It
seems like someone have killed the elder Kinomiya, for reasons
unknown."
-
"I assume you are happy with the proof, Mr. Tachibana."
"Yes, I am."
"Then I will be getting my payment soon, I expect."
"It will be yours once we reach America."
"I want it now."
"And why should I care about that? You will get in once we reach the main lands."
"Because if you don't pay me now, something may happen to your wife or daughter, and what would you do then? If dear little Hilary dies, your entire plan will be destroyed."
"Fine, you win this round."
-
Max was sitting in complete silence. He just couldn't believe it. Mr. Kinomiya had always been there, it just wasn't possible that he was dead. He was one of a kind, reminding people of an immortal spirit that forever roamed the earth.
He was very pale, and he had almost fainted when his mother had told him about the dreadful happening. Poor Tyson… First his mother, then his father and now his grandfather? Life could be so cruel, especially to Tyson it seemed.
-
The maids had been told to look closely in the rooms they were cleaning for any kind of proof about the murder that had occurred. Nobody felt safe because of it, and Captain Dickenson had a lot of trouble trying to get the people to calm down and stop thinking they would be murdered in their beds.
As a matter of facts, many passengers were frightened close to death just because of the murder, not that they actually knew what had happened. What was told, had been edited a bit to make sure the passengers did not arrange a revolt or tried to suspect everyone on board of being murderers.
-
Kai looked down on the beauty sleeping in his arms. Tyson looked so peaceful, if you didn't count the tear steaks on his face. He couldn't believe that this gentle soul's grandfather had been murdered just like that. Kai had no doubt that it was murder. He was reminded of the time when he found his own parents cold and dead because of what had seemed like heart attacks. Not that the part about Mr. Kinomiya's death had been released, but it was what Tyson had assumed, and Kai's gut feeling said it was what it was. That feeling hardly ever was mistaken.
"Mmm… Kai…" Tyson moaned in his sleep, apparently unaware that he was in the arms of the one he was dreaming about.
Kai smirked at that, lowering himself down beside Tyson and pulling him into his arms before going to sleep again.
AN:
Well… What do you think? Sorry if it is a bit unclear about the facts and storyline, but the chapter was partly written before and after a mountain trip with my family.
Oh, the ending part of last chapter? I hope you liked it, it is the first time (GASP) that I've written something of that kind.
I had a scene with Voltaire as the higher evil power written, but that was just a work of madness (or sleep depriving). But, that wasn't part of the story, so I erased it. Anything completely miserable or making no sense? Mention it in a review or a PM and I'll try to reply.
Work starting for me tomorrow, so I will have limited amount of time to write, but I hope I will be able to post another chapter of Pearl in July, but I am not sure.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter and remember to REVIEW cause then I'll be happy.
