Part 3
Kudou Yohji was strolling down
the health park that belongs to Angel's Corp. He looked around to see
teenagers and old people did the same. Some nurses and doctors were also there.
The smiles on the patients were full of satisfaction and happiness, and it
really made Yohji sick to see that.
Then suddenly the memory of his
lover…or maybe he should say, ex-lover pops up to his mind. Asuka. The
beautiful assistant of him when he was a secret detective. It was so hard to
forget about her. The scent, the beautifulness…and the blood that stained when
she was shot to death, they were all very unforgettable. Yohji closed his eyes
shut. The bitter feeling in him started to rise up again in his mind.
/Oh God…I thought I got rid of
her…/
"Naoya-kun?"
Yohji didn't answer.
"Naoya-kun!!"
The blonde blue-eyed boy grabbed
Yohji's arm violently, almost like punching. Of course Yohji didn't feel a
thing, he was too small to make Yohji feel any pain. Yohji turned around to see
a pair of blue orbs staring at him in worry. He grinned playfully to the staring
boy.
"What Tasuomi koi?"
Omi blushed up and had people
looking at them in astonishment. He made his grip stronger on Yohji's arm and
dragged him to the nearest spot where they can't be seen by anybody. The boy
pushed Yohji to the tree and looked straight onto his eyes.
"What was that all about?"
the younger blonde asked fiercely. Yohji smiled teasingly at the boy and rubbed
his back head.
"I thought we were pretending
to be lovers?"
"I know that! But don't call
me that love crap of yours, Yohji-kun! Not especially when you are fantasizing
about that Asuka girl!!" Omi snarled at him. The older blonde widened his
eyes.
"Nani…" Yohji paused.
"What's wrong with you, ne bishonen? I never thought that you even care
about me fantasizing about who. And I thought the fantasizing I do is none of
your concern. Why are you angry?"
Omi stopped. He lowered his eye
level to the green grass that planted down to earth and bit his lips. Yohji
could feel that he was trying very hard to burden the urge to scream and cry. It
just that Yohji couldn't find any good reason why the boy would do such
things. Even for the trained eyes of the ex-detective, this is just too strange.
"Because I know that you still
loves Asuka when I…"
Both blondes were stopped by a
scream of a girl. The Weiß looked at the source of the scream, joining the
crowd that gathered around a hysterical girl. The girl screamed and cried in one
time. She held a surgery knife and tried to attack anyone who goes near her. She
hurt a few security guards and they made a few bruises on her face.
"No! Iie!! Stay away from me!
Anyone who comes near me will die!! I don't need that treatment of yours
anymore!!"
Omi looked at her and noticed the
many tracks of jab on her left arm. From that he came to the conclusion that the
girl was obsessed to drugs. But he also knew that the girl was cured and soon
became one of the victims of Hayasumi. When she was being tested by the medical
things of Hayasumi's, she realized that he was going to turn her to one of the
angels. And that's the only possible reason that came up to Omi's mind why
she ran away.
Yohji was going to take the knife
on her hand forcefully when Shizuka came up and walked to her calmly. The girl
paused to see Shizuka clearly and soon gritted her teeth when she met
Shizuka's glance. Shizuka walked closer and made the girl shrieked and
attacked Shizuka. Yohji was about to run there when Omi stopped him. Yohji
looked at the boy. He threw a meaningful look at Yohji and soon received a nod
for his answer.
She hurt Shizuka by her arm. It
was a deep cut and bleed badly. The people around them called for more security
guards. The guards came with guns on their hands and were going to shoot the
hysteric girl when Shizuka stopped them.
"If I can't handle these
things, I won't be working here now, would I?" she smiled at the guards and
held her bleeding arm with her right hand. She approached the girl, now even
closer. The girl for the second time shrieked and attacked Shizuka. Aimed on
Shizuka's stomach for fatal consequences of the surgery knife, the girl ran to
her.
Shizuka ducked and bent the
girl's arm to her back. She twisted the hand that clenched on the knife and
let the knife fell down the floor.
"Everything would be
alright…I will get you out of here, that is, if you cooperate with me."
Shizuka whispered to the girl. The girl widened her eyes and silently looked up
to Shizuka, wanting a sign of promise from her eyes and got one. She paused and
slowly nodded to Shizuka and was brought back to her room. The whisper was so
small that everybody except the trained assassins could hear it.
"Do you think what I just
think?" Yohji asked Omi. Omi, without looking at him, silently nodded.
"We found our target. The real
mission starts."
***
The 7 AM morning sun sneaked its
sunlight into the Koneko and forced Ran to open his eyes and looked around in
sleepiness. He was still feeling blurry for the uncomfortable wooden seat he was
sitting yesterday and it intrigued him in thinking properly. He started to feel
the warmth of cloth on his back and didn't remember on covering himself up in
some nice warm jacket. He took away the jacket that covered him and looked at
it. It wasn't his jacket, it was…
/…Ken's?/
He realized that it was Ken's
jacket and 100% sure of it. He looked for Ken's key. It was gone. That can
only mean one possible thing. Ken came back to the Koneko and found Ran sleeping
in the flowershop comfortably and had not the heart to wake him up. So he
covered Ran by his own jacket and went home silently.
"…Baka deshi…it is autumn,
damn it…" he mumbled to the jacket.
He pressed the warm jacket onto
his chest. He imagined that Ken is the one who he is hugging now. He could smell
the scent of grass, the scent of wind, and all the scents that represent Ken. He
sighed. After a few moment of fantasize about Ken, he knocked himself up from
the dream world and face the reality.
/Wake up you dreamer! Ken is not
yours and wouldn't be. He is a cheerful boy and a great soccer player with
bright life than Omi, and you want to destroy it all because of the egoism in
you?? Get real!/
Ran sighed. He knew very well
that he shouldn't love Ken that much anyway. Ken has a life that still can be
fixed when he doesn't. There is no way that he can keep these feelings up,
although sometimes later…it may explode, but he would keep it a secret. And
nobody will know about it, not even Ken.
He wondered why Yohji and Omi
didn't wake him up. That is, if they went to visit the Koneko when they can go
straight home as they brought their own keys when they left which means, they
did go straight home.
/A stupid leader…why I can't
even figure that out sooner? Yeah…I am a fool. A fool who's deeply in love
with someone clumsy like Ken…/
Smirking on his own lame joke, he
stood up from the seat and took his key. He put on his jacket and took Ken's
jacket with him when he got out the Koneko and locked it up. Lucky for thieves,
they don't get in, because Ran would slash them to sushi if they ever do.
The redhead walked on the
sidewalk that covered by autumn leaves, heading to a certain brunette room to
give him back his jacket.
***
"Kuso, kuso, kuso!!" Ken
cursed himself on the bed. "There is no way he can even likes me!"
A pause.
/I am getting nuts. Talking to
nobody and receive no answer… I am getting nuts for this unbearable feeling
for Ran./
He sighed and placed his right
arm onto his forehead. He looked to the silent white ceiling that was staring
back at him with no expression. He imagined that it was Ran who stared at him.
He would run away from Ran's stare to any place as long as it can hide him
from Ran's deathglare. He smiled on his own thought.
But again, he realized that Ran
never stare at him seriously. Not counting on the first meet when they ended up
fighting each other and made the whole flowershop to a mess. The only time that
Ran glared at him was when he covered Yohji's part in the Koneko because Yohji
got a date. The glare was like telling him that he's just too kind. And when
Ran throws those kinds of deathglare, Ken would always explain it and stop Ran
from executing Yohji.
He chuckled bitterly. He wished
he could assume that Ran loves him by that only sign of concern.
"If I am a schoolgirl, I would
assume that he loves me. But since I am not a schoolgirl…" he paused.
"…I couldn't possibly assume that he even likes me."
He bit his own lips, forcing it
to smile. "Baka Ken." He teased himself, hoping it to make him feel better
but failed. He wished he never met Ran. He wished he didn't fell in love with
Ran and even if he does, he can forget about him as fast as he can forget about
Yuriko and Kaze. But the fact that it's too late to back up now, he was
already deeply fallen in love with Ran. He sighed. So many wishes and so many
facts to bear.
Knock, knock.
He didn't even move when he
heard the knocks on the door. He buried himself up on the pillow and chose to
ignore the knocks that were starting to get a little louder. He looked at the
clock, it was 7:30 AM and although he is not a hard-core sleeper like Yohji, he
never gets up in 7:30 in the morning. Especially when he is tired for all the
sobbing for Ran that he did last night.
'…en?'
He rose up. He swore that he
heard Ran's voice from behind the door. But then his commonsense was telling
him all of other possibilities. Like maybe it's Yohji… /Yohji would NEVER
wakes up in this time of a day!/ or maybe it's Omi… /Omi always add
'kun' when he calls me, and the someone behind the door is calling me
'Ken'!/ or maybe it's an alien from mars who kidnapped Ran and took his
voice to kidnap you too… /Yeah, right/
Won in his battle with his own
commonsense, he rushed to the door and opened it violently. The being behind him
took a step backward when he did that. And he was right, it was Ran.
"Ran…?"
"Ah…gomen for waking you
up." That was all came up from Ran's lips when he saw Ken with only his
pants and white tank top on. The boy looked at the redhead leader in
astonishment. Ran smiled in his heart and handed Ken the jacket. Ken widened his
eyes at the jacket.
"This is yours, right?"
Ken shuddered. "Aa, y-yeah."
"You shouldn't have cover me
up when you have no extra jacket for yourself. You can catch a cold."
"H-hai, gomen…"
Ran curved his lips, Ken could
see that Ran was laughing at him. Maybe he looks like a moron or something until
the cold-hearted leader would curve his lips. He blushed more. Ran just smiled,
slowly he took Ken's hand, making him to blush even more and put the jacket on
his arm, letting it to clung on Ken's arm.
Ken just watched Ran, still
couldn't believe that Ran, Fujimiya Ran, the cold icicle attractive bastard
who never show any expression on his face than anger, death, and revenge for
Takatoris, was doing something 'human' like returning his jacket. Well yeah,
he was just returning a jacket and that doesn't mean that much, but for Ken
who is deeply in love with this young redhead lad, it was everything.
/Geez…I never thought that his
pale hands are warm…/ Ken thought, still looking at Ran in astonishment.
Ran smiled and sighed in one
time. He patted Ken's shoulder and slowly said, "Ja." And with that, he
went to his room, leaving Ken stood in front of the apartment's door like a
statue in astonishment, with jacket clung on his arm. For a minute or two, Ken
still stood there, not remembering or noticing whatever just happened to him
until the cold breeze of autumn blew a soft wind to Ken's back, making him to
shiver and blinked.
"…Ran…" he whispered,
looking at the jacket and warmly smiled at it. He hugged the jacket. He could
smell the scent of cinnamon and white jasmine, the scent of Ran. He put on the
jacket on and swore that he will not wash the jacket for at least 3 months, just
so he can smell the sweet scent that Ran leaved on the jacket. He closed the
door of his apartment and planning on sweet dreams about the lad next door.
The soft wind blew some more cold
autumn breeze, but a young lad in somewhere over Tokyo didn't even notice
about it as his heart was too warm to even realize that it was a cold autumn day
in September.
