Delicious Torment
Ch 7
"I knew that I should have brought a camera." Cye said with a smirk as they walked into Kento's room, finding that Kento was laying on his back looking down at Kaye who had her head on his chest.
Kento looked up and then looked over by the door seeing that the others were standing in the doorway with smirks on their faces. "Hey guys, how long have you been standing there?" Kento asked as they entered his room.
"Long enough," Sage replied. "Talked to the doctor before we came in here, and he said that you can go home today."
"Good, I want to get out of this hospital as soon as possible. Besides, I want to have a talk with that so called doctor anyway." Kento said with a hint of anger.
The guys gave Kento a weird look from the statement that he just made. Rowen was about to ask what he meant, until a quiet moan stopped him. "Morning sis, sleep well?" Cye asked as Kaye started to slowly open her eyes.
"Huh? Oh, ah, yea I'll just, yea," Kaye said as she blushed while she got out of Kento's bed. "I'll just get us something to eat, ok Kento. Did you guys want anything?"
"Thanks, but we just ate before coming over." Ryo replied as Kaye was about to leave.
"Ok, I'll be right back." Kaye said as she left.
Rowen looked questionably over at Kento, "ok Kento, what did you mean by what you just said about the so called doctor?" Rowen asked curiously. Kento sat up, and then began telling them all about their late night visitor that they had last night.
"What? But that's just crazy! Why would someone not be able to see this guy coming into your room? I mean that it doesn't make any sense. And why or better yet, how would he know about your kanji ball?" Sage asked curiously.
"I don't know, Sage, but he's so going to get an earful from me when I see him." Kento replied angrily as he finished getting ready.
"Not if I get to him first." Cye said as his eyes showed a quick flicker of anger.
In the different part of the hospital...
Kaye was about to go back to Kento's room, until she heard some familiar voices. "Ok, I've done what you've asked me to do. Now pay me my money, and then we'll dissolve this partnership." the doctor said impatiently.
"Partnership?" Kaye wondered as she listened in more.
"Doctor, it's been a pleasure doing business with you," Jakobe replied as he paid him off. "If you don't trust me on the amount, you can count it."
"Jakobe." Kaye realized angrily.
"No, I trust you. Now if you don't mind, I would like you to leave, I have a hospital to run." the doctor said as he walked over to the door. Kaye quickly looked around to see if there was some place that she could hide. She didn't need them to know that she heard them talking just now. Kaye quickly saw that the emergency door was slightly opened, and then took a risk of being seen ran over to it, and quickly got behind the door, keeping it opened enough so she could see without being seen.
"Before I go, doctor, if anyone found out that we were in business with each other, it'll be more than your hospital and your career that you'll have to worry about. If you know what I mean?" Jakobe said as he was about to leave. The doctor nodded his head in understanding, Jakobe smiled and then he finally left the doctor alone.
"I better hurry up and get back, the guys would want to know about this." Kaye thought as she slowly opened the door, looked around to make sure the coast was clear, and then started back to Kento's room.
Just then another familiar voice called out, "Kaye, is that you? I believe that it is." Taki said as Kaye froze in her tracks.
Kaye slowly turned around, "Detective Taki, long time no see," Kaye replied as she gave a small smile. "What have you been up to lately?"
"Oh you know, the usual, busting the bad guys and things like that," Detective Taki replied. "How about you? What's new in your life?"
"You remember Kento, don't you?" Kaye asked as she looked over at him.
"Yea, how could I forget a guy like him? I still remember the sparring match that we had last time," Taki replied as he rubbed his shoulder from the phantom pain. "Why do you ask? Oh, now I remember, you two got married."
"Yea we did." Kaye replied as a smiled came across her face.
"So how is the big guy?" Taki asked. Kaye's smile quickly faded, and then a tear flowed down her cheek. Taki saw Kaye wipe away the tear, and then it hit him, the fire at the center. His superior had gotten the call about the fire, but he couldn't go because something came up.
"Kaye, I'm sorry, I've should of realized it sooner." Taki replied as he laid a comforting hand onto her shoulder.
"It's ok, Taki, Kento's going to be released today. Oh my God, Kento! Ah, listen Taki, it was great seeing you and all, but I have to get back to Kento's room before he and the rest of the guys come out and look for me." Kaye said hurridly.
"Kaye, wait, I'll come with you." Taki replied as he quickly followed her.
Just around the corner, the doctor that just got paid off by Jakobe, stared at the two as they were quickly making their way back. "Dammit, how much of the conversation did she hear," the doctor wondered angrily. "I better inform Jakobe about this."
The doctor grabbed his cell phone from his lab jacket and dialed. "Hello? Yes, I see. She did, well then we are going to need to find out how much she knows. But first I'm going to pay a visit to an old acquaintance." Jakobe said as he hung up his cell phone.
"Jakobe, what's he doing outside of Kento's room?" Kaye asked in alarm.
"Jakobe? You know that sleaze bag?" Taki asked as he stole a glance towards her.
"Yea, but not by choice." Kaye replied as they were almost there.
"Hello Mr. Faun, and how are we feeling this morning?" Jakobe asked as he stepped into the room.
"Jakobe! You have a lot of nerve to be coming in here!" Rowen replied angrily as the guys quickly got onto the defensive.
"Mr. Hashiba, you wound me to the quick. I'm only here to see how much progress Mr. Faun has made since the tragedy that came upon the center last night." Jakobe said with a mock look of concern.
"Guys! Is everybody all right?" Kaye asked as she and Taki rushed in.
"Mrs. Faun, it's always a pleasure to see you." Jakobe replied with a very cold smile that sent chills down her spine.
"Jakobe, I would suggest that you leave these people alone, unless of course you want to go back to prison?" Taki said as he stood in front of her.
"Been there, detective, didn't like it much. As I recall, wasn't it you that put me there the first time?" Jakobe asked as he shifted his gaze from Kaye to Taki.
"Yea, I was, and I'll be more than happy to put you back in there again. I'm sure that the guards are still keeping your same cell all nice and orderly for you, too." Taki replied as he stayed between Kaye and Jakobe.
Just then Jakobe's beeper went off. "Unfortunately, it looks like we have to put an end to our conversation. It's too bad really, I was just starting to enjoy the company." Jakobe said as he slowly walked out of the room, while keeping an eye on Kaye as he left.
"Does he suspect..." Kaye wondered as she frowned.
"Kaye, hey are ya in there?" Rowen asked as he waved his hand in front of her face.
"Huh, sorry Rowen. Did ya say something?" Kaye asked back as she looked up at him.
"Are you ok?" Sage asked.
"Yea, fine. When I was on my back here, I overheard something that you guys will find to be very interesting. But I don't think that this is a good place to talk. I think that we better leave, and the sooner, the better." Kaye replied as she looked around at them.
As they left the hospital, "what are we going to do? When she tells the detective what she overheard..." the doctor said in a nervous tone.
"The detective is the least of our worries, doctor, the others are a more of a threat than him," Jakobe replied as they were watching out the window. "Dante, follow them, find out what they know. Then report back to me. Do you understand?"
"Of course, Jakobe, I understand perfectly. But let's just say, what if they spot me? What shall I do then?" Dante asked.
"Try not to be spotted, but in case that you do, you can decide what to do on your own." Jakobe replied.
"Consider it done." Dante said as he disappeared.
A few blocks away...
"Man, it feels good to be out of that hospital." Kento said as he took a deep breath of fresh air.
"Alright Kaye, now will you tell us what we'll find to be so interesting?" Ryo asked.
"Like I said before, when I was on my way back to Kento's room. I heard a couple of familiar voices. So you know me and my curiosity." Kaye said.
"No, you, curious?" Sage asked sarcastically as he smirked.
Kaye lifted an eyebrow at him, "funny, anyway, as I was saying. I got closer so I could hear what they were talking about. Then when I got close enough, I saw Jakobe and the doctor talking about some kind of payoff." Kaye continued.
"Payoff? Kaye, did you actually see Jakobe had over money to the doctor?" detective Taki asked.
"Yea, I did. Then when they were about done with their conversation, I hid behind the emergency exit so they wouldn't know that I was there." Kaye replied.
"And then I'm guessing that when you saw that the coast was clear, that's when you've decided to go back to Kento's room, and that's when I saw you in the hallway." Taki said as he finished her story. Kaye nodded to show that he was right in his conclusion.
"Then that might explain why he looked at you the way that he did when he left, Kaye." Cye said as he looked over to her.
"I think that you're right, Cye. But there's something else that I think that you all should know." Taki replied.
"Oh yea, and what's that?" Kento asked.
"The fire at the center, before I went to the hospital, I stopped over at the center to see what else I could find." Taki replied.
"And did you find anything?" Ryo asked.
"Yea, I sure did. Take a look at this." Taki replied as he took out something from his pocket and laid it on the table.
"It looks like some kind of blasting cap." Rowen said as he looked it over.
"You're right. it is. Take a closer look, and you'll see something else that you might recognize." Taki replied.
Rowen gave a confused look at Taki, and then started to look closer at the blasting cap. "Hey, it's the same symbol that's on Jakobe's and Dante's jackets." Rowen said as he finally recognized it.
"So then they did set that fire, and this is the proof." Sage replied.
"Yea, but the deal is, it's the only piece of evidence that wasn't totally destroyed in the fire. As long as we have this, then we have a case, but if for some reason something happens to this piece of evidence, then we won't have squat." Taki said as he took it from Rowen and placed it back in his pocket.
"But what about what I overheard in the hospital? Won't that hold up in court?" Kaye asked as she looked over to detective Taki.
"Unfortunately, it'll be your word against his, and besides, it'll be more in likely that he would of paid off the judge, and the jury." Taki replied.
"Oh." Kaye said in a defeated tone as she crossed her arms and leaned back in her chair.
"That's not right! Scum like him shouldn't be able to do that!" Kento said in slight anger.
"I know what you're saying, Kento, and I agree with you, but unfortunately sometimes that's how it's played," Taki replied as he got up. "Hey, sorry, but I have to get going. Keep in touch, ok, and I'll let you know what else I find."
At a nearby corner...
"SO Jakobe was right in his suspicions. I better report back to him and see what he wants to do next." Dante thought as he disappeared.
At a different part of town, a few hours later...
"Getting a bit sloppy in your technique there, Sian." Dante said as he walked on in.
"Shut up, unless of course you want to be eating the floor in a few minutes." Sian replied as he wiped the sweat off of his face with a towel.
"As much fun as that would be, Jakobe wants to talk." Dante said as he started to lead the way.
"Fine, go and talk. I'll just stay here." Sian replied.
"No, he wants to talk to both of us...now." Dante said as he looked at him.
"Alright, I'm coming." Sian replied in annoyance as he threw the towel to the ground. As they walked to where Jakobe was waiting for them, the scenery around them started to change, until it looked like the inside of Talpa's throne room.
"About time that you two got here." Jakobe said as he turned around to face them.
"Sorry, but the ki...boy, didn't seem to want to come to our little meeting." Dante replied as he caught Sian's warning glare from almost calling him a kid.
"Sian, is this true? You didn't want to come?" Jakobe taunted with a smirk.
"Yea, so what about it?" Sian asked in annoyance.
"Enough! What do you have to report?" someone asked from the shadows.
"Warlord Dais, you'll be pleased to know that everything is going as planned." Jakobe replied as he bowed.
"Good, now I have to know. Did you get your hands on the Ronins' kanji balls yet?" Dais asked.
"I'm sorry, my lord, but no we don't have them." Dante replied as he avoided eye contact.
"What! What do you mean that you don't have them?" Dais asked angrily.
"There was a complication in the plan, my lord." Jakobe replied as he slowly stood up and faced him.
"What kind of complication?" Dais asked as he glared at him.
"It seems that when Hardrock was in the hospital, the wearer of the tiger armor was there as well." Dante replied.
"And you let a mere woman stop you from collecting the first of the kanji balls!?" Dais asked in disbelief.
"My lord, it would be of common knowledge that she would be by his side, considering the fact that they are married to each other." Jakobe pointed out.
"Married, you say." Dais mused.
"Yes my lord, that's what I said." Jakobe replied as he looked at him in confusion.
"This could turn out better than I thought." Dais said as a smile crept upon his face.
"My lord?" Dante asked curiously.
"Go! I'll summon you when you are needed," Dais ordered. Jakobe, and Dante bowed and then disappeared, leaving Sian alone with Dais. "Didn't you hear me, boy? I said go."
"I heard you, but I have to know something." Sian asked boldly.
"You have guts, boy. Alright, I'll answer your question." Dais replied with a smirk.
"What are you planning to do? You're not going to hurt them, right? You just want their kanji balls?" Sian asked.
"You'll find out when the time is right, and now is not that time. Go boy, I have to speak with master Talpa." Dais ordered.
Sian nodded his head, and then he finally disappeared as well.
"Master Talpa, I have news." Dais said as he turned around and faced him as he came into the throne room.
