Chapter 13. Blue Innocence

He casually walked into a building and seemed to randomly pick out a door. The doobell rang and he waited patiently for someone to open. He had already made sure the one he wanted to see was home and alone. The door opened and he smiled kindly at a small blonde.

"Can I help you?" the blonde asked with a smile and a flash of confusion in his blue eyes.

"I believe that you can, yes," he answered sweetly and took a step forward. "I believe we have a mutual friend, Ran Fujimiya?" The blonde seemed to be thinking for a moment before he nodded.

"What about him?"

"You don't know who I am, do you Omi? Or should I perhaps, call you Bombay?" The blonde froze. "Now, now there's no need to be scared… just yet." Omi looked at him with his blue eyes widened. "You know, you're getting very annoying. I'm gonna have to stop you from snooping any further."

"You're, you're the one who's been…"

"Stalking Ken, trying to kill him and that fucking bodyguard of his?" he suggested softly. "Clever boy. I'd say you would have found me soon but I can't allow that to happen. You see Ken is mine! Only mine! I'm not going to give him to Ran without a fight. I'd rather kill him than let that damn redhead get him!" he spat out with hate.

His eyes shone with insanity and he was well aware of it. Quickly he pulled out something from his pocket and grabbed Omi's shirt. "Say good night kitten." He pressed the rag to the blonde's face and kept it there while his victim struggled. It only took a few moments before Omi went limp. With a smirk he picked up the slender blonde, closed the door behind them and left.

Ran waited for his lover just outside the restaurant. Ken had told him about his past, about all the things that had gone wrong and the redhead had listened carefully. He had fallen helplessly for the brunette and it was probably not wise but what could he do? It was too late for second thoughts now.

When Ken joined him he automaticly took his hand. That wasn't really like him but he just had to touch his lover. Besides, the brunette seemed happy to hold his hand so why struggle? The streets were quiet and empty as he ran his amethyst eyes over the surroundings.

He looked relaxed but he wasn't. Every fibre in his being was attentive, searching for anything that might be a threat or a danger. It was a force of habit that he didn't even think about anymore. They soon reached his building and walked up to his apartment. Together they entered and took off their jackets. Ran was tired and the idea of crawling into bed with Ken seemed perfect.

He yawned as he padded over to the bedroom and turned on the lights. It was late and the brunette had practise early the next morning. Ran shrugged off his shirt and turned to pull down the covers. His whole body went rigid when his eyes fell on the bed. Arranged on it was a heart made by photoghraphs and in the middle of it was another black envelope. The redhead trembled as he reached for one of the pictures.

"Aya," he moaned. Each and every one of those photos were of his sister, taken at the hospital. That damn psycho had been near his sister. Completely numb Ran stalked out from the bedroom with a few pictures and the envelope in his hand.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

He ran a hand through his brown hair and yawned. All he wanted was a bed, Ran and a pillow, or a bed and Ran as his pillow. Ken smiled to himself. He was happy, at ease even though someone was after his life. It was strange but Ran made him feel so safe and protected.

Still smiling he walked out from the bathroom and stopped when he saw his lover. The redhead's face was shadowed by anger and fright as he clutched something in his hand.

"What's wrong Ran?" he asked with concern. His lover didn't answer but handed him what he held in his hand. Ken frowned and flipped through the photos and finally saw the black envelope.

"He's found my sister," the redhead whispered. Ken looked at the pictures again. She was pretty but pale, almost looked dead. He remembered Yoji telling him that Ran's sister was in a coma.

"Go to her Ran, make sure she's safe," the brunette said gently and caressed Ran's cheek. "I'll be alright." Before the redhead could answer, the phone rang.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Moshimoshi," Ran muttered as he picked it up. There was silence for a while before the other person said anything.

"Well hello there kitten." The stranger's voice was gruff and low.

"Who's this?" Ran demanded even though he already knew.

"You can call me whatever you want kitten dear. What you should be asking is what I am."

"Fine! What are you?" the redhead asked with a frown and a glance at his lover.

"Your worst nightmare, your death, your tormenter… Take your pick." Ran swallowed, so this was the psycho he had briefly met before he got stabbed.

"What do you want you bastard?" the bodyguard spat out and almost crushed the phone in his hand.

"Oh I want many things… For example I want you to listen carefully to what I'm about to say. Can you do that Ran?" Ran winced.

"Aa."

"Good boy. I have someone here who's very upset with me," the man chuckled. "I've caught myself a stray kitten. Now I want to know… Should I just kill him or would you like him back?" The redhead's thoughts raced. Who? Who had that bastard caught? A stray kitten?

"Omi?" Ran asked with fear.

"Bingo kitten. Our little blonde here has been a little too nosey and we can't have that, now can we? You know what curiousity did to the cat."

"What did you do to him you sick fuck!?" Ran yelled and saw how Ken twitched from his hard voice.

"Oh I haven't done anything to little Omi… yet. But he is looking very cute at the moment, perhaps I should claim him as my own?"

"Don't touch him you bastard! If you do I'll kill you!" The man laughed warmly.

"Don't go around making promises you can't keep my dear kitten. You took someone I care about, how about I take someone you care about? I'm sure Omi wouldn't mind if I ravaged his small innocent body, I'd be gentle I promise. His eyes are so blue and innocent, blue innocence… So pretty." There was silk and an insane hunger in that gruff voice now and Ran had the unpleasent feeling that the other man was touching Omi while he spoke.

"Hurt a hair on his head and I'll… I'll…"

"His hair is safe Ran, for now. The rest of him I make no such promises about though. You stole Kenken from me so it's only fair that I get something else to play with. Sweet Bombay here is just my kind of toy. Now, I'm giving you a choice here. Leave Ken and you'll get Omi back. Stay with Ken and I will kill Omi and Aya. You know I'm serious, deadly serious don't you kitten?"

Ran couldn't answer. He couldn't chose between saving Omi, his sister and keeping Ken safe. Whatever he answered he would get someone killed. "You have two hours to make up your mind kitten. After that I'll do what I want with Bombay. Until then…" A click ended the call and the redhead sank down on the floor. There was no way he could protect them all, was there?

~TBC~

Oh dear he's got Omi! He better not hurt little Omi or else *grr* And how cruel is that bastard? Forcing Ran to choose betwen his sister, Omi and Ken? Ksama! Ja/Atsureki
