Say Goodnight

Kai's heart skipped a beat. He had never seen real guns right before his very eyes before. Why did he carry it? But more importantly, why was he going to use it? Kai's thoughts rushed through his head in the uncomfortable silence. There isn't anything special about me. There isn't anything…Pause. Or maybe there is… Maybe Seji doesn't really love me? Wait. When did I start to love him anyway?

"Well, well. If it isn't Mr Hiwatari and the little kid he adopted…" the mysterious man interrupted Kai's thoughts, emphasising the last word.

"Thead," Seji gritted, surprising his adopted son when he narrowed his eyes. If looks could kill, this one would be a threat to all life.

"You weren't supposed to get close to the boy. But no, I guess Mr Hiwatari has a soft spot for little orphans with blue hair and-" the supposed Thead smirked, starting to spin his weapon of death again. Kai sucked his breath. Quietly. What does he mean? Kai reflected, examining the tall brunette. His eyes seemed ice blue. For a second, Kai couldn't tear his eyes from them; he had never seen his guardian this way…

"You have no proof whether or not that is true; however, I assume that that bastard wishes to dispose of me, now that I have the boy?" Seji interrupted in an unusually icy tone.

"Hahaha, Seji, you were always a clever one, weren't you? But now that you deny the now obvious fact that you're fond of the boy, I see you don't live up to your reputation, anymore. And to think, I used to admire you. Now, I guess that the Best Employee photo of yours will be burned, eh?" the intruder laughed, one that sent shivers down Kai's back. Who is this 'bastard'? the scared child thought, his feelings causing a face of fear and puzzlement to plaster onto his face. I

may, observant as he was, noticed this and started once again, "So, you haven't told him have you, Seji? Well, being the wonderful person I am, I'll tell him for you. In the nicest way I possibly can. I'll reveal it all." Now it was Seji's turn to inhale silently, clenching his fists till the knuckles were as white as white could be, before bitterly replying, "Yeah, as nice as you can get…"

"You wound me, Seji. Oh, how my heart bleeds," the other remarked, exaggerating a person in deep sorrow before laughing hysterically again. Seji pushed Kai against the crimson-painted wall.

"Bastard," Seji muttered. If Thead had heard, he simply ignored it.

"So, anyway. Little kid, you know the real reason why Seji adopted you?" Thead hesitated for effect, "It wasn't some apartment boss dude, no way. It was Boris. You know him right?" Kai's eyes widened. How could he not know him? Thead continued, "Yeah…Well, didn't expect 'squeaky clean' postman Seji to be working for him, did you? Well, Boris wants you back. Yeah. He wants you back badly. And postman Seji just so happened to be working for him. How lucky, ne? So Seji has to pretend to love you, and smother you and then take you back to him. But no, it was a mistake to send him to get you. He has a soft spot for you lil kid. Hehe,  funny don't you reckon? Who would've known that our best man has a soft spot for little Jap-Russian kids?" Thead laughed his chilling laugh when he saw his former colleague look at the boy he was talking to. Seji didn't say anything, but it was all in his eyes. The seemingly ice-blue eyes now were a softer, sad tone. But was it possible for eyes to change colour accordingly to their emotions? Did Seji actually care for himself at all? Crimson eyes of perplexity and hurt became lost in blue ones, polished in tears and hurt. But eyes can't deceive, can they?

~ s e j i ' s  p o v ~

I stare into those red eyes. So lost. So hurt. Oh God. Satan. Anyone. Help me. Help him. What did I get myself into? How shit. Why did I have to fall in love with this lost and lonely boy? Why does he have to remind me of me. Of little me. Ha, there goes Thead's laugh again. That bastard. Why did he have to be sent here? Couldn't Boris have a heart for once and send someone who'll just get it over and done with? Far out. What's that? I narrow my eyes again, forcing myself to stay more alert than usual. Thead, always a sneaky one. By his moves, I think he's going to take his gun. I open the door and push Kai out. "And stay out," I command him, more harshly than I intended.

Someone help us. If not me, than Kai.

~ e n d  p o v ~

Kai blinked, the moment his two feet were standing in the hallway, Seji instructed in monotone, "And stay out." Simple and clean. The door clicked. Kai stared at the door. And remembered something that Rei had told him…

'My mum once told me that the number six was related to the devil, and the number four meant death in Chinese…'

     "Oh, but why Rei? Why?"

    "Well…"

It was ironic. The two digits stared at him. Mocking him. 6 and 4. "Well, that man is certainly a devil. And four…well…we all know someone's gonna die, don't we now?" Kai breathed to the air, "Let's just hope I didn't jinks him just then…"

Thead chuckled,"Do you really think keeping him out will get him out of this? You're so stupid Seji. What happened to your brain? Did it melt away while you were smothering the kid away?" Seji growled. He should've known. He should've told Kai run.

"Oh wait, I'm so smart I forgot I was. The whole building is rigged with sleeping gas. Haha. It activated as soon as you stepped into the room Seji," Thead laughed, as if reading Seji's mind. Seji growled.

"Aw, what's wrong Sej? Don't feel too well?" Thead cooed. Seji narrowed his eyes further, making sure he had his weapons at hand, and trying to remember where he hid all his other weapons.

"I'll make you feel better…" the black-dressed man trailed off, aiming his gun the split second Seji did. Thead snorted, "I guess you haven't forgotten everything…"

"No I haven't…" Seji finally replied, managing a gasp of surprise from his opponent when he smiled.

"Time to say goodnight…Mr Hiwatari," Thead sneered, at last rising from his seat, crouching as he loaded his gun.

"Yeah…just remember too when you die…" Seji replied, again in his cold mood.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that I nicked some food. Sorry," Thead randomly remarked.

"No problimo. I'll just restock when you die. Simple," the now cold man replied, a smile tugging his lips.

"Ah, well you won't need to after I'm finished with you," Thead replied, chortled softly.

Outside, Kai held his breath when he held the door ajar to watch the scene unfold before him.

Such a small space for something that could make such a big one in his heart.

A very big one.
