Chapter 5: Creep N' Crawl
Haku's P.O.V.
7:12 p.m.
The wind grew strong the more Dell drove on the highway, keeping his car-roof down. The both of our hair flew back from the cool air, but neither one of us minded. "I'm telling you. No matter how much I knocked on his door, he wouldn't come out. It's obvious that he shocked himself by watching the tape, but you said that Kaito didn't care if he did." I told him as I lowered the volume to the radio.
Despite it being night, he still wore shades as well as having a cigarette hanging between his lips. Smoke came out of his mouth once he said, "Of course he doesn't care if he does; it obviously benefits him in some aspect. You and I both know how he's a crazy mother fucker that's smart as hell. Being crazy and smart at the same time makes him straight up dangerous, but I don't care what his plans are. All I care about is getting paid. Other than that, I got Kaito's back. Anyways, if Rin and Miku keeps testing Tanaka, that man will have a terrible meltdown."
"Hell, you're telling me? You should've been in the same room as him while he was going off on them. I thought he was about to have a stroke. But seriously. If he has a meltdown, who knows what'll happen to Crypton Future-." He then paused once the car began to alert Incoming call from: "Rehab center". "Damn, that must be Kaito. Can you press the answer button by the radio?" He asked right after we heard the alert. I quickly had done what he had ask and pressed the answer button. "Kaito?" He spoke aloud.
After a few seconds, his voice finally began to pick up through the speakers.
"Don't come." He blatantly responded. Both me and Dell eyed one another for a quick second before he switched his focus back onto the road. Instead of saying anything, we knew he was about to explain, and that he did. "You and Haku are going to do a task that requires you to kidnap two people, but I'm mostly going to assign this to Haku. Now are you listening, Haku?" He quickly said, causing me to become confused for a second, but I quickly said Yes. "Find a man around my height, along with another that's approximately 5'5". I'd suggest threatening their lives, but it'd be better of you find a couple of drug addicts and bribe them with a brick of cocaine. The one that's my height, I want you to get a blue wig for him and blue contacts. As for the other; short red hair and blue/grey contacts. Once you're done and they've agreed, I want you to drag their asses here and park near the back of the facility."
A sinister plan is being presented, and I want in. I laughed inwardly to myself before responding, "Planning on coming home so soon?"
"No. Be here with them in two days. And I also want you to go into my room and get a briefcase that's hidden underneath my bed, taped onto the bed. Bring it with you for when you come over. ... I'll be keeping contact with the both of you. Till then, I must go." And with that, it went silent.
Dell merged the car to the left and made a sudden U-turn, going onto the other side of the freeway. It didn't take him long to scoff and say, "Well, damn. Either his patience grew thin, or he came up with some master plan. Although I know he's know where near stupid to make a plan where he gets caught, I still warned him about trying anything. But like I said; he's crazy. Crazy people will come up with some mastermind shit, and all you can do is get out of their way." He laughed near the end, but that was till we both heard a deep yet irritated voice speak up.
"Dell, shut the hell up." Kaito nearly growled. Right when he was done, the speaker said ,"Call ended."
"Oh shit..." He mumbled.
That's what he gets for trying to talk crap. If he doesn't quit now, Kaito will take care of him without a second thought. ... Anyways, I think I can find a couple of addicts out by Shibuya Square. But one that's shorter than him and has to wear a red wig? ... Who's breaking out with him? I contemplated to myself. It wasn't too long till I reached for the front of my shirt and unfolded my shades. I slid them right on before tightening the gloves on each hand.
"You can drop me off by the Shibuya Square. I got it from here." I simply told the man.
"Eh? You sure you don't need help? That's a pretty big task to do." He asked.
I shook my head and laughed a little to myself. "Dell, you're highly useful towards the law, information, and what to be on the lookout for. When it come towards the dirty work, that's where I come in. Why else would I get a breast reduction? My chest was drawing too much attention, and made it hard for me to run."
"Hah! From triple D's, to average C's. Doesn't matter, though. You're still hot to me. I love women's that are strong, realistic, and can carry themselves. Hell, let me know when you're ready to date me." He mused.
"I'll be ready once you've beaten me in a fight. But I'll let you have sex with me on the spot if you shoot someone-" "How the hell can I do that?! I'm the scapegoat of this group, and I can't get my hands dirty for the life of me! I'd rather get a piece of ass manually." He quickly interrupted.
I knew that'd make him leave me alone. But still, he's right. We can't risk having him do any kind of dirty work. He's the scapegoat, I'm the carrier, and Kaito is the muscles/ringleader. Dell can't get into trouble for the life of him. No Dell means no way out of things. ... Legally, of course.
I'm more interested to seeing who's this person Kaito's bringing.
Len's P.O.V.
"Len, you need to eat. Your food will get cold." Rin pipped up as she poked my side's with her elbow. Despite her doing so, I had only continued to stare at the small chicken-breast, rice, and asparagus lying on the white plate. "You hadn't been yourself, and it's worrying me. You stopped singing, you hadn't changed out of those clothes, and now you're not eating." She tried saying. But that was till I heard Meiko say, "Rin, just leave him alone. He doesn't need to be bothered at the moment. If he still hadn't touched his plate by the time everyone is done eating, just take it and wrap it up so he can eat it on his own time." She told her.
No matter what they were saying, the sounds in my head were always a bit louder.
That wasn't a mask. That was something much, much, more than that. If it continued, then what more could he have d-done?! It wasn't anything I imagined doing with him. I-I always thought, if it was possible, for us to hold hands and kiss. He'd be the same happy guy and would take me to the amusement park like we'd usually go. I've always thought about that because he's my crush. ... But this WAS NOT him. That couldn't have been, just couldn't have been, that was someone else who did those things, it wasn't him. "Y-Yes, that was an A-animal"
"Huh? An animal?" Rin pipped up, causing me to break my gaze away from the plate, and towards everyone else. As soon as I looked, everyone was eyeing me around the table. "Len, are you okay?"
Meiko had then agreed with her and said, "You're starting to form bags underneath your eyes, and you look like you're in a frozen state of shock or panic. Do you want to go to Tanaka for a diagnosis?" She suggested. In return, I remained silent.
I-If I watch it again, it'll show an animal, n-not Kaito! The animal should've been prosecuted, not him. Y-Yeah! "I excuse myself..." I murmured to them before slowly rising from the table and walking away without a single glance to give to either one of them. As if my body was on autopilot, I made my way towards Kaito's room once more.
"Your body loves to be touched by me, did you know, Len?"
That wasn't him. Kaito is sweet and funny. Fun and gentle. Cool and kind. W-Would never be inappropriate to me! Right?!
"Corruption feels good, doesn't it? Especially when it's injected by me."
What if... they staged everything on the tape? What if they've done it to get rid of him? I-It was false. Th-They must've done something like high animation to make it look like it's real-. ... Kaito isn't that animal. I don't know who that was. I doubt I'd see Kaito's face once I look at it again. And I-I was probably pretending in it too! Right? Y-Yes! That's it, right Kaito?! ... Is that us?
Kaito's P.O.V.
Me and Shuu stood out on the balcony outside of the recreation room, smoking a cigarette. He finally decided to let loose and have one for himself.
"I'm pretty sure my interest in the medical field would be of good use for you. I'm always stuck watching medical shows, reading healing books, and crap like that. I even patched Defoko back up after she got a gash on her leg from ice-skating. Don't ask how, but know that her and Teto were doing a stupid contest that day. But anyways; after telling me your reason being here, I wanted to ask if you regretted doing what you did?" He asked.
Keeping my gaze onto the night sky, I pulled the cigarette out of my mouth and responded, "No. I don't regret a single thing I've done. ... I can feel remorse that Len was tied into that situation brought on by his sister, but remorse will fly away once I handle her on my own time. But subside from that, it's good to say that you're joining my little team. We needed a doctor of some sort. Hell, I don't give a damn if they're not even licensed." I told him.
"... I wish I found you sooner. I would've been left that damn house a long time ago. ... Always acting like real situations don't exist. I feel like I have to wear a mask to fit in with them, but once I do somethings that's in-your-face, ... I feel alive. Like I'm not stupid and blind anymore." I listened to him as he began to talk. "And if you need anything done with fire, I'm your guy."
"Are you, now? What makes you want to say that?" I then broke my gaze away from the sky and onto him.
With a faint smirk appearing, he pointed to himself and said, "You're looking at the pyromaniac that started the fire at Aiko's concert in Chubu, and got away with it." He spoke in a proud tone.
Knowledgeable in the medical field, and a pyromaniac. ... That'll most definitely help me along the way. Just how Len watching that tape is going to take all the hard work of me turning his ass out, off my hands. The real finishing touch to it is fucking the life out him. ... He'll love me and appreciate every last thing I'll give and do to him. That's a promise that'll be fulfilled within two months.
Let's give time for him to crack himself a little. I'll just swoop in and break him as a whole into loving me. ... Everything will be alright, Len.
