Chapter 21. Silver Drama

Ran entered Yoji's apartment and went straight to the small room the blonde used as an office. Just as he had thought he found Omi's laptop there and he immediatly switched it on. The room was filled with a soft humming that told him it was booting up.

Impatiently he waited until he was greeted by a background made from a picture of Balinese, Bombay and Abyssinian. He smiled slightly at the photo and started a search to locate any files concerning Ken and Ben. It only took a few seconds before the laptop provided him with several files that fit the discription he had given the computer.

Omi had done a impressing job even though he hadn't known that the stalker was Ben. He found the photograph that Ben had left at Ken's apartment and saw how well the little blonde had managed to clear it. The reflection in the mirror was obviously Ken's old friend but then Omi had never met Ben at that point so he had of course not realized what it was he had found.

With a sigh the redhead closed the file and opened the next one. It was the report Omi had downloaded for the police database. He quickly read through it and grinned when he found the adress where they had found Kase's body and Ken. After having written down the location, where he was sure he would find his lover and his friend Ran read the report more carefully.

Someone had done a profile of Kase and it made the tall redhead shiver. Ken's former lover had obviously been completely insane, not that he hadn't figured that part out on his own a long time ago. But Kase wasn't his concern anymore, the man who had tried to kill his lover wouldn't harm anyone now but Ben was a different story. The redhead pulled on his coat and headed for the door.

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

Ken hesitated, he wasn't so sure he wanted to see what Ben had done to Omi. His insane friend was cursing again and pulling at the cuffs that secured him to the pipe. Please hold, he begged as he heard the rattle and complaints the pipe made. If it gave in he'd be in deep shit.

His hands were tormenting him and he didn't know how much longer he could keep himself on his feet. Muttering foul words underneath his breath the brunette entered the dark room where Ben had said he would find the little blonde. He couldn't see a thing and for the moment he was thankful for it.

"Omi?" he asked quietly and was greeted by silence. "Omi!?" Still no answer. Carefully Ken felt his way around until his injured hand came into contact with what at least felt like a switch. He pushed it and the room bathed in bright light. His shocked eyes quickly scanned the room and landed on a bed on the other side.

On it was Omi and he wasn't moving. The little blonde was naked, except for a blanket that was wrapped around his waist, and his pale skin covered with bruises and dried blood. Oh God! From where he was he couldn't tell if his friend had been raped or even if he was still alive but his feet didn't want to go any closer. Ken forced himself to move forward and slowly approached the bed.

Standing by Omi's side he observed he thin chest until he was certain he saw it rise and fall. A breath he hadn't known he was holding in escaped him and relief shot through him. The little blonde was alive at least. Gently he brushed away a few strands of blonde hair and kneeled beside the bed.

"Omi?" he asked quietly. The little blonde's eyelids fluttered but didn't open. "Omi please wake up."

"Please don't hurt me," Omi pleaded hoarsly and carefully opened his blue eyes.

"It's okay it's me, Ken," the brunette whispered and took the smaller man's hand in his.

"Ken-kun?"

"Yeah. You have to get up so we can't get out of here," Ken mumbled and winced in pain when Omi gripped his hand. The little blonde slowly sat up and whimpered.

"Where's Akira?" Brown eyes blinked in confusion.

"Akira?"

"The big blonde," Omi muttered and swung his legs over the side of the bed.

"I'm right here." Two heads snapped around to stare at Ben who was standing in the doorway with a look of pure hate in his grey eyes.

"Ben," Ken breathed out and moved infront of Omi. "I'm not gonna let you hurt him!" The Italian laughed and shook his head.

"And who are you to stop me?" he asked with a mocking tone in his hard voice. "You're too weak Kenken." The brunette clenched his jaws together. He was not going to let this happen! Ben was not going to kill anyone!

"I thought you loved me Ben," Ken said softly and forced the fear aside. Showing that he was frightened wouldn't help him now. For a brief second hesitation flashed across the Italian's eyes.

"I do Kenken."

"Well then we don't really need Omi, do we?" Ben frowned but he didn't move. "If you let him go I'll come quietly," Ken promised and grabbed the blonde's hand behind his back.

"I…"

"Come on Ben you don't want him, you want me, remember? I'll make it worth your wild." He could see that Ben was going through his options and he could only hope that his friend would fall for the temptation.

"But you don't want me!"

"I owe you Ben, I mean you did kill Kase just to save me, didn't you?"

"I did," Ben agreed reluctanly.

"The least I can do for you is go along with your wishes," the brunette murmured and smiled weakly. The Italian laughed suddenly and the sound made Ken's skin crawl.

"It's a good thing you chose soccer as your career Kenken because you never was very good at acting," Ben snorted with venom and came closer. "Why should I give blondie up when I can have both of you? It's not like you can run away from me." Ken cursed underneath his breath.

"But we're not going to just give up Ben!" he growled and rose to his feet. "I'll fight you every step of the way!" Another laughter cut through the air.

"You fight me? Well that should be interesting Kenken. You're so weak baby, look at your hands… They're trembling and your eyes look so scared. How are you going to win?" Ben asked with silk in his voice. His hand disappeared inside his jacket and came into view again holding a silvery gun. "You still wanna fight baby?" Ken swallowed and winced when Omi squeezed his hand.

"If you shoot me you won't get what you want though." Ben smirked at him.

"First of all who said I was going to shoot you? Secondly, a shot don't have to be fatal you know. Now both of you get over here before I really get angry!"

"Don't fight him Ken-kun," Omi whispered. "Just do what he says." The brunette chewed on his lower lip. No matter what he did they were going to lose.

"Okay, you win," he finally sighed and hung his head. Defeated and scared he made his way over to his insane friend with the small blonde trailing behind him. He could hear that Omi was limping and he prayed that it wasn't because Ben had raped him but rather due to a beating.

"Good, good," the Italian mused and took a step back. "Now move it!" He pointed the gun at Ken and nodded towards the other room. The brunette stumbled forward and felt a small hand steady him. "Yeah that's right little one keep your friend on his feet."

"Bastard," Omi snarled and helped Ken walk. "Can't you see that he's in a lot of pain?!"

"But of course I can Bombay. I see it and I love it," Ben smirked. "That's far enough."

"What now?!" the brunette hissed and turned around to face his friend.

"Now this ends!" Three heads whipped around at the three words spoken by a deep smooth baritone. "Drop the gun Ben!" Grey eyes narrowed.

"Well, well, well if it isn't Ran. Always butting in," Ben muttered with anger and pointed his gun at Ken's head. "Wanna gamble a little? Do you think you can take me down before I pull the trigger?" The redhead growled and his amethyst eyes shone with hate.

"What will you have if you kill him Ben? Either way you lose," Ran spat out. Ken looked at his lover and his gaze landed on the piece of silver in the redhead's hand. Ben and Ran were both armed with guns.

"It doesn't matter to me Abyssinian. I have nothing left to lose. You took Kenken from me and if I kill him then at least you don't get to have him," Ben almost screamed. "The question is are you willing to put his life on the line, hm?" Ran didn't answer. "Didn't think so. Now how about you put the gun down instead before I accidently shoot your boyfriend?!"

"I love Ken, I'd do anything for him but we both know that you'll kill him no matter what I do Ben," the redhead said solemly and unclicked the safety. "This way I at least get to take your life."

What happened next only took a few second but for Ken it went by in slowmotion.

A hand grabbed his arm, jerking him to the side.

Ran lunged forward.

Ben's swirled around.

Two shots echoed through the warehouse

A scream pierced the air.

The muffled thuds of two bodies that hit the floor almost at the exact same time.

After that, there was only silence.
