CHAPTER 4
Ken stared out the window as another set of parents walked through the door. So far, Crawford's and Ran's parents had arrived, demanding to know what was going on. He sweatdropped when he saw Ran's younger sister - she looked exactly like a freshman girl that was crazy about Ran. Creepy.
"Kyaaah! Otou-san, Okaa-san! Over here!"
Omi was at the front of the driveway, waving his arms so hard that they looked like they would come off. Nagi stood next to him, looking moody. Schuldich and Yohji were up in their rooms, hiding this and that so their parents couldn't find it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A few hours later, everyone's parents had arrived - except Ken's. Yohji and Schuldich's parents had arrived latest, their mother's pouting when they found out that they weren't _last_; Ken's parents were.
"Ken-kun, where're your parents?"
Ken shrugged and put down the magazine he was reading. "How'm I supposed to know?"
"But I'm sure your parents were notified, right?"
"Of course."
"But... didn't we tell you to tell your parents to come on this day so that they could all meet?"
Ken just got up and left the room, earning him raised eyebrows from his housemates and their parents.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ken returned late at night, soaking. He apologized and Omi reprimanded him for being out in the rain. Crawford took in every detail: the red eyes, the dirty cheek, the _bruised_ cheek, the slightly torn sleeve.
Crawford excused himself from his parents and went upstairs with him.
"Ken... are you all right?"
Ken jumped in surprise. Crawford was _talking_ to him?
"Ah... daijoubu."
"You have a bruise on your face." Immediately, Ken stared down at the floor, bowing his head.
"Oh, that? I... I fell."
Crawford raised an eyebrow, saying, "Oh, really? Where?"
Ken sighed, saying, "Look... I know you know that I didn't fall. Let's just leave it there..."
Crawford was surprised to see Ken's cheeks glistening with tears. "For today. I'll talk to you tomorrow."
"Whatevers..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Omi's eyebrows were furrowed down into a frown. "Why didn't Ken-kun's parents come yesterday?"
It was the next night and their parents had left all ready. Nagi spoke up. "Maybe his parents were busy?"
Ken stumbled down the stairs, yawning. "It's great being suspended. I had a great nap."
He gave everyone a smile and sat next to Omi. Someone was about to speak when the phone rang.
"Moshi moshi. Oh... oh. Hai. Ken-kun, it's for you!"
Ken nodded and took it from Nagi. "Hai?"
Everyone watched as Ken paled. Omi, Schuldich and Yohji leaned over to Nagi and whispered, "Who was it?"
"It was his parents."
"Why'd he turn to so pale?"
"I don't know. They sounded nice enough."
Ken suddenly turned away from them, wishing that the phone he was holding was a cordless.
"Hai. Hai. Gomen-nasai, Okaa-san, Otou-san... Hai. I won't bother you again... Hai. Arigatou. Hai. Hai. Hai. Oyasumi-nasai, Okaa-san, Otou-san."
Ken hung up and stood there silently, bowing his head. He muttered softly to himself, *Well, can't get much worse, can it?*
"Ken. I told you that I wanted to talk to you yestderday."
"Oh... Can't we talk another time?"
"Now. My room."
"Hai."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"What... What is it, Crawford?"
"Who gave you that bruise? And what the hell was that phone conversation about? Were those really your parents? You only said two or three things to them! 'Hai,' 'I won't bother you again,' and 'Good night'!"
Ken said softly, "The bruise... is none of your business. And neither is the phone conversation."
"You live in this house. I'm in charge - I have to take care of everyone. Of course, Ran does to, but he's so far gone that he's worse than me; he doesn't even notice people's feelings and such. Now, Ken, tell me before I call Manx."
Ken smirked. "Go ahead, call Manx. She won't do anything."
Crawford glowered at Ken. "Just tell me, Ken."
"Iie."
"Who would you tell?"
"Whoever I trust."
"Who do you trust?"
"No one but Kaede. And I've already told him. And he won't squeal, so don't even think about asking him."
Crawford's eyes narrowed. What the hell was Ken hiding that he couldn't know about?!
"Tell me now before I kill you."
Ken stuck out his tongue at Crawford and said, "Ii. E."
He ran out of the room and Crawford followed in pursuit, thinking, *Why the _hell_ am I chasing him?*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ran, Omi, Nagi, Schuldich and Yohji decided to ignore the two people who were running around the house, making a racket. Until, Crawford yelled while passing by.
"Whoever catches Ken will be excused from doing the dishes for a week!"
Ken was tackled within minutes. He struggled against Yohji and Schuldich, who had caught him first.
"Oi, hanase! You have no right to - Oi!"
Crawford grinned, panting. "Well, they're not letting go until you answer me."
"We aren't?"
Crawford threw them a glare before grinning evilly at Ken. Ken tried kicking Yohji but failed. He growled and they stood there, staring at each other for a few minutes.
"It was -"
Suddenly, the tune to 'Velvet Underworld' could be heard. "Eh... my phone's ringing."
Crawford sighed and motioned for Yohji to let go of an arm. Ken pulled out his cel(lular) phone.
"Moshi moshi."
Ken's face looked shocked. "You've gotta be joking! I just talked to them a little while ago! Manx, you _promised_! MANX!"
Ken put his cel phone back into his pocket, saying, "I have to go see Kaede... I'll see you guys later."
"Didn't I say that you had to answer me?"
Ken smiled thinly, saying, "Fine. It was my Otou-san. Now let go."
Yohji and Schuldich let go, unkowningly enjoying the stupified expression on Crawford's face. Ken turned and left, leaving the other boarders to ask Crawford what was going on.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Kaede?"
Ken entered the apartment, pocketing the extra key that Kaede had given him. "Kaede, are you in?"
He went to Kaede's room and opened it. "Kaede, are you in here? I - eek! G-gomen!"
Ken turned quickly and shut the door behind him. "K'sou! KenKen! What're you doing here?"
"I... I... fuck! I'll wait in the living room!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Ken sat on the sofa, sipping on a cup of tea. "Manx-san called me a little while ago... I had no one else to go to, Kaede..."
"What happened? It's usually bad news for you if she calls."
"She... had WeiB eliminate my parents."
"Nani?! But as long as you stayed with those guys... she said that they would be safe!"
"She lied... she just wanted me out of the way of WeiB... because if I was there, then they would have to kill me, too..."
"Why'd she do it? You _know_ WeiB only kills _those_ kind of people."
Ken smiled thinly. "But Kaede, they _were_ _those_ kind of people."
Kaede's eyes widened. "But... but they... I mean, sure, they weren't exactly the best of parents towards you, hell, they were one of the worst parents, but... but..."
Right then, Kaede's boyfriend stumbled out the door, both blushing. Ken gave them a smile before turning back to Kaede.
"Drugs. Extortion. Bribery. Murder. Name it - they've done it."
"What happens to you now?"
"I inherit their money, die a rich boy."
"But you're a minor, Ken. And Manx isn't going to let you be alone. Ken... what did she want with you, anyways?"
Ken shrugged. "I'm not really sure."
"Well, why don't you stay here for the night?"
"It's all right. I only came to tell you that... I'll go back home now - I don't want your boyfriends to hate me for disturbing you guys."
Ken gave them a knowing grin, making them blush. Kaede glared at Ken before tossing him his jacket.
"Call me if you need anything."
"Don't worry, I will."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Crawford pulled Ken into his room, saying, "Why?"
"Huh?"
"Why are you so special? Manx just came by... she said that if anything happens to you, she'll make sure that we regret being born. What makes _you_ so special?"
Ken shrugged. "I don't know."
"And what did she do? She said that you'd probably be upset for a few days now."
"She had WeiB kill my parents."
Crawford's jaw fell to the floor. "You know about WeiB?!"
"Huh? I thought that this whole house did..."
"We do, but we didn't know you did!"
"Oh."
Crawford dumped himself on a sofa. "So, what're your powers?"
"Huh?"
"This house... it's for future WeiB members with powers. What's yours?"
TBC...
DUN DUN DUUN! eh... I don't know what I'm doing. ^^; anyways... i'll try to make the next chapter soon...
Ran and Crawford: You should be studying for your final. Especially your Bio.
schu_chan: Eh... I don't care.
Yohji and Schuldich: Muhahahaha! We have corrupted her!!!!!
schu_chan: *sweatdrop* Iie... I'm just lazy.
Schuldich: Hm... Yohji, _you've_ corrupted her!
schu_chan: It doesn't matter, as long as I have my KenKen. *hugs Ken dolly to self*
Crawford, Yohji, Schuldich: *glower menacingly* _Whose_ KenKen?
schu_chan: Eeep! *drops Ken dolly and runs for life*
