Two men are shocked...
Why? Because of what is in front of them...
"Urgh..." both men, even though both already used to explicit gore, both gave in and started to vomit.
What did they see?
A corpse with the initial "J", with its head chopped off, clothes are stripped, his face is literally erased, drenched in blood.
"Ne, Ban-chan, who do you think did this?"
The purple-eyed man stared at the body in front of him.
"Jackal."
"But . . . he ... wouldn't..." the Raitei [1] wanted to defend the Hakobiya, but he thought of the letter 'J', and Jackal's passion for killing....
"Call him." Ban was stunned, he was infuriated, he knew he would find dead men killed by Jackal, but someone tortured like this .... This is way far...

/RRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGG/
"Moshii Moshii" Akabane calmly greeted. Since the one on the other side didn't seem to respond to his calm salutation, he repeated it.
"A... a... aka... Akabane-san..." his voice was frail, but being the Akabane that he is, he was able to understand him. That is his nature of course, he feels when people are scared, and one Raitei is definitely scared. Moreover, he didn't like it.
"Ginji-kun"
"Akabane-san... the abandoned building... umm.... Please... umm... please come...." The petrified Ginji said.
"Have you--"but before he could tell something, Ginji hung him up.

/THUG/
/THUG/
"Akabane-san?"
/THUG/
The man was shocked. Seeing his so-called 'koibito':
1.Naked
2.Headless
3.Faceless
4. ...... with a 'J'
/THUG/
"Apparently, you killed him," Ban exclaimed. "You happy?"
He could here his heart thumping. As he walked slowly towards the corpse, he kept thinking, 'I can't remember doing this.' As he examined the letter 'J', it certainly is his.
"Is this your idea of a joke?" Ban bellowed, "'Cos if it is, it's not funny. First, you kill the man, and then let us find him?" Ban thought this was way far from his league, so he left. Leaving Akabane behind.
Thinking both men left, he knelt down, clutched the man's hand and said, "Kyouji-kun, I don't remember doing this to you." A frail tear trickled down his pale cheek. "Sorry." He stood up, reached for his lighter . . . and . . . he forgot, he quit smoking 'coz Kyouji-kun didn't like it, so he gave his lighter to Ban [2] way back when he saw Ban aboard the same ship for the Venus de Milo's arms.
Instead, he just turned away, but surprised to see Ginji in front of him. "Ginji-kun..."
"Hai?"
"Favor... can you.... Shock this?"
He threw a scalpel on Kagami's body, and then Ginji shocked it. Causing it to be swallowed in flames.

/CRASH/
Traces of broken glass [you know instead of using shower curtains] remind him of someone. For the past few minutes, he has broken quite some things now. He must be in the verge of losing his sanity. At least he's still sane though.
Stepping out of his tub, shards of glass pierce through his feet. Walking towards his bathroom mirror. As he slowly lifts his head, his reflection shows a wet face, soaked in a mixture of blood and water.
/BANG/
Another one. He just couldn't stand those mirrors. Stepping out the bathroom, he only has a piece of short towel on. 'Damn! These legs hurt!' he thought. For once, he felt pathetic. He soaked himself in the tub for three hours. In addition, while bathing, he just couldn't help but hurt himself. Walking, he felt tired. Pathetic, useless, worthless, all possible weak descriptions... he just couldn't take it anymore...
/THUD/

'I don't know why, but I think Akabane-san didn't do it. Because... because.... I know he kills, but not that way. And he's Kagami-kun's friend... and I know he wouldn't do that....'
Sauntering amidst a familiar route, he thought, 'I guess a little visit won't hurt the both of us...'
Riding an elevator, he pushed level '13'. To the thirteenth floor it is.
This is the first time he's been here. Nevertheless, he knows exactly where Akabane-san's unit is.
He knocked...
Once...
Twice...
Thrice...
No reply. He thought Jackal may be out, but he heard a loud thud. He found the door unlocked, so he hastily dashed into the man's condo unit.
He found a lying Akabane on the floor. "Akabane-san!" His voice resonated all over the room. Gently, he aided the unconscious man into his bed.

After walking miles from the shed, Ban happened to turn around and walk back. Thinking of only one man. 'Fate could be so stupid' he thought. Four men in love, and only one man to destroy it. Hell... after minutes of thinking bout his qualms, he finally stands in front of the building...
"Damn!" He bellowed. The building is on fire. Subconsciously, he hurried inside the building. Passing through tons of bodies, he soon climb the flight of stairs across him. "Kyouji!!!!" he cried. He was worried. What if Kyouji died??? No. it can't be, Kyouji's strong. He can't die... but... but his wounds might get into his way though...
Running selflessly, he saw a silhouette across him. It was limping his way to a glass window. Therefore, he rushed towards him. "Kyouji!!!!" the sound of the flame was stronger, yet the handicapped still heard him.
"Ren-kun!!!" he replied. Tears flowed out of Kagami's eyes. But Ban was there to wipe them off. "It's okay... Ren's here." Quickly, he spread his arms around the man standing in front of him. Grasped him tightly, and then jumped out of the window.

-You know I've been wandering. And dragging this heavy soul. Lord knows. These lessons you're selling. Soul medicine. Isn't easy to swallow. I'll try to meet ya. On that high plateau. So take the message to eh chief, Tell him I ain't coming. This heart's proud it can't be broken It's a black tie affair And guess who's coming to dinner.
-Take Me Down [Bamboo]- [3]
Completely conscious, Jackal heard the lyrics of the song, somehow, he could relate.
But can't be. He didn't turn the radio on. Suddenly, he felt two warm arms surround his torso. As he opened his eyes, he saw nothing but blonde. Blond hair swiping his face.
"Kagami-kun..."
"uhhh..."
His fragile voice must've woke the other. As the blonde guy lifted his head, Jackal was surprised to see the one who's been giving warmth to him since the time he fell on the floor.
"Amano... Amano Ginji-kun"
Two eyes got unlocked. "Akabane-san..."
'Now this is different.' Ginji thought. All this time, since he met the guy, he's been awfully scared of him. 'Akabane-san's vicious eyes.' He thought, 'somehow they don't look so vicious now.'
"You okay now?" the Raitei said. His voice trembled in fear. But he knows his friend is not as scary as before. Somehow, even though he's frightened of the man, he thought that a friend is what Akabane-san needs right now. And a friend he would be.
"Ginji-san..."
"Hai?"
"Never mind." Then, Jackal released himself from the clutches of the Raitei and tried to sit up. But he couldn't. He felt pathetically weak.
"Don't force yourself." The Raitei said. "You're still not well."
"Hai. Ginji-san."
-You make the words sound so sweet. Let's pretend that everythings Gonna be alright. Alright It took me a second To read ya Just wasn't my game fool Face me when I speak to ya
Take me down...
-Take Me Down [Bamboo]- [3]
Akabane, once again listened over the lyrics.... The song is right.
"Let's pretend that everythings going to be alright." He whispered. He thought the other man didn't hear him, but...
"Why pretend?" the man asked. He took his hand and placed it on Jackal's chin. "Why do we have to pretend?"
