-CHAPTER 1-
/Year 2004/
A young child with tattered dirty clothes and empty gaze sat on the cold ground, shivering badly. Skinny arms hugged it's chest tightly, the shaking form was partly covered in the shadow of a trashcan. The child's long, blue hair hung in it's face, covering and hiding it from the world.
Nobody of the rare pedestrians spared the child a glance, and when, their eyes
were cold and accusing.
The iron collar around the child's small neck was rattling with every movement, the thick chain connected to the collar swaying slightly in the air.
The chained child, a boy, suddenly began to cough, the heart-breaking sound echoing in the secluded, empty area around the boy. Beautiful midnight-blue eyes were squinted shut in pain, chest heaving with every breath the child took in.
'Pain, pain, so much pain. Don't want to, have to, don't, have to...' The young boy thought, small waves of pain rolling through his weak, skinny body. Suddenly you could hear approaching slow footsteps, each step making a small *tap* noise.
*Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap*
The footsteps ceased to stop in front of the malnourished child, who didn't dare to look up and stare at a strangers face, narrowed eyes surely filled with disgust and hate. The child's head was bent low, chin touching a small chest, a sign of submission.
Neither of the two persons moved for a long time.
'What does he/she want from me? To beat and abuse me like others did before... Go ahead and do it... I don't care....' The boy thought tiredly and sighed deeply.
Blue eyes widened as a warm hand gently touched the pointed chin of the boy and tilted the boy's head up to meet his eyes.
Defeated midnight-blue orbs clashed against determined crimson orbs.
The child gasped, a hand flying to it's mouth, covering it.
'Such a beautiful color.., like blood...' The long-haired boy thought and stared at the person before in wonder, wide eyes taking in every detail. The person, a boy, with dual-colored hair and pale skin, offered a gloved hand up, red eyes soft.
The young child stared at it, mind dazed, completely stupefied, not believing it's luck.
"I will free you..... If you promise me one thing...." The pale boy before him said quietly, lifting his right hand up. The blue-eyed child flinched and pulled away, whimpering.
Red eyes flashed angrily for a moment, before softening again.
"Sssshhh, it's okay I won't hit you..." Mumbled the boy, smoothing blue bangs out of the young child's face.
"Come with me, let yourself led away, to a new part of your life. Just give me your power and let me use you.... [1] I promise nothing ever will happen to you...." The red-eyed boy whispered, put his left hand in his trousers pocket and pulled out a silver key.
"It's your choice...., follow me and you will be free..., not chained like a pitiful dog anymore, free, like the wind..., don't you want that?" The boy questioned and played with the key.
Blue eyes followed the key's every move, small hands clenched.
The young child gnawed at his lower lip, thinking about those sweet words, the seducing opportunity.
'I want to be free! I don't want to be chained to this cage anymore! I want freedom!' The young boy thought and gulped, still feeling unsure and vulnerable.
"Yes..." A wet tongue licked over dry cracked lips. "Yes.... I will let you use me..., just free me....." Croaked the child, eyes pleading.
"Heh, good boy." Smirked the red-eyed young man and put the key in the keyhole of the collar, twisted it and with a *click* the collar sprung open. The young child tried to stand up, but was too weak and collapsed to the ground.
The duel-haired boy chuckled and lifted the other boy up, his nose nuzzling soft blue hair.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of you..." Promised the older boy and walked off, leaving the collar on the ground.
Blue eyes closed slowly and the child quickly fell asleep, his head resting against a broad chest.
"Sleep well...., my tool."
----------------------------------
/Year 2013/
"Kon! Get your ass up and move it to the conference room!" An impatient voice shouted loudly and a young man with long raven hair and golden almond eyes jumped up.
"And bring Mizuhara with you! Hurry!"
"YES!" Answered Ray Kon, running a hand through his sweaty hair, sighing. "What an asshole...." He muttered and turned around, catching sight of a blond haired man, snoozing on his messy desk. Ray walked towards the sleeping man and gently shook his shoulders. "Wake up Max, the boss is yelling again. We have to greet a new victim." Ray said.
The blonde opened his eyes, blinked and let out a huge yawn. "Why did you wake me up, Ray? I had such a nice dream about chocolate..." Max asked, rubbing his eyes.
"Lazy ass, as I told you, boss is calling." Responded Ray, jabbing a thumb towards the conference room, eyes rolling. "That mean slave-driver..." Whined Max, but got up anyway. "I'm telling you, he is the devil himself!"
"Yeah, yeah, I believe you Maxie. Let's hurry, or he will bite our heads off." "Okay." Nodded Max and both exited their office, walking towards the conference room.
They hurried the hall down, talking. "I wonder why boss is so excited, the victim must be pretty famous or something..."
Ray chuckled, stopped before a closed wooden door and knocked three times.
"Come in!"
Ray opened the door, held it open for Max, stepped in and closed the door behind him.
"What is so important, chief, that you..." Ray trailed off and his jaw dropped. Dimly he was aware of Max doing the same.
Before them, next to their boss, stood a young man, clothed in a blue/silver kimono. He had long blue hair, tanned skin and gentle midnight blue eyes, who were currently smiling at them.
He was simply beautiful. His form was petite, small hands clasped together, head cocked slightly.
The man bowed, his long hair spilling over his small shoulders.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Kinomiya Takao." The man said, eyes twinkling.
Ray bowed, introduced himself and looked at Max out of the corner of his eyes, jerking his head in the direction of Takao. But Max just continued staring at Takao, gaping.
Ray groaned quietly and nudged Max not too gently in the ribs. Max quickly snapped to attention, looked around and blushed beet-red. "Sorry, my name is Mizuhara Max. Nice to meet you Kinomiya-san."
Takao laughed lightly, a cheerful sound. "Why are you apologizing? It's okay, no harm done."
Their boss, named Hidaka Oe, cleared his throat. "Okay, Kinomiya-san these guys are the best around here and they are the investigators of the case. Good teamwork and everything. I really hope they will help you." Oe smiled and Takao and then addressed Ray and Max, eyes stern. "Okay, now everything is in your hand. Don't disappoint Kinomiya-san and myself. Start working at once. No failure!" He snapped and stepped out of the room.
"Okay, please sit and how can we help you?" Max asked brightly, notepad in his hand.
Takao sat on a chair and sighed, blue eyes troubled. "Your boss, Hidaka-san told me you were the ones, who are investigating the case of Hiwatari Kai." Takao paused and stared in the shocked golden eyes of Ray. "And I sought after you, because he attacked me yesterday, breaking in my house and injuring my body-guard."
"So, Hiwatari attacked you last night.... Any ideas why, any suspicions?" Max asked, eyes narrowed, scribbling on the pad.
Takao sat up straight, eyes suddenly cold. His voice was practically frozen. "That Hiwatari is after my family's heirloom. I just know it..., he even told it to myself. He had a gun pointed at me and asked, where it was." Small hands gripped the chair.
Ray raised an eyebrow and glanced shortly at Max. "And what is your family's heirloom, if I may ask?" The raven-haired boy asked, questions running through his head.
Takao slightly narrowed his eyes, but nodded. "The family's heirloom is the sacred sword of Dragoon."
Ray's eyes widened and Max jumped up, chair clattering to the ground. "The sword?!" Max yelled, face pale.
"Shhssst!" Takao hissed and put his forefinger before his mouth. "Please be quiet, I don't want anyone to know that. And yes, the famous sword. I'm a Kinomiya and we had that sword for centuries, protecting it from any dangers and I won't let it happen that such an asshole comes and tries to use it for whatever he wants! It really means much to me and I will protect it with my life." Snarled Takao, hands clenched to fits.
"Interesting...." Ray mumbled, his mind reeling. 'Takao is a member of the Kinomiya's and Hiwatari tried to get the sword of Dragoon. He can't sink any lower, can he?' Ray gritted his teeth in anger and turned his head away to stare out of the window.
"You said Hiwatari injured your bodyguard?" Max inquired, tapping his fingers against the cold wood of the table.
"Yes, Tala Ivanov, that's my bodyguard, stormed in the room, knocked the gun away and tried to hold him off, but Kai punched him in the stomach and threw Tala through a glass-door, then he knocked Tala out cold. But because of that noise, the servants of the house were alarmed and Kai fled, leaving me in a shock. But I'm so glad that he didn't get the sword. It means so much to me....., it's all I've left...., but...., I can't believe that such a person exists..., that would hurt another person so willingly, just to achieve their goals......, that's so terrible.... I'm so worried that Kai will come again...., maybe even kill some of my servants, I mean Tala was injured badly....." Takao began crying softly and Ray and Max stared at each other and started to panic, because both knew that they were not good at comforting.
'Shit, what to do?' Ray asked himself and put a soothing hand on the blue-haired man's shoulder. "Hey, it's okay. Your bodyguard still lives, and we promise you, we will do anything to catch Kai Hiwatari." Smiled Ray and suddenly found himself staring in glistening blue eyes.
Ray gulped. 'Why is he so pretty? Argh! Get control over yourself Kon! This is business!!' Screamed his mind.
Takao smiled with watery eyes. "Thank you, I'm so embarrassed, breaking down in front of you... You must think I'm a pathetic person...."
Max laughed nervously and put an arm behind his head. "Not at all. As Ray said, we will do anything to protect you from Hiwatari."
"Thank you. I want to see that horrible person behind thick iron bars, never getting out and boring himself to death, never seeing freedom again." Stated Takao, eyes serious.
"Yeah...." Agreed Max and his eyes unfocused, remembering the report about Hiwatari Kai, also called Fire God.
'Hiwatari always burns the houses of his victims to the ground, leaving the victim's family there, so that they burn to death and the victim himself can't do anything but watch...., he likes torture and was behind the murders of all those important politicians and even Yakuza organisation..., the most powerful of all the gangsters of Japan..., no mercy.... He just craves power and more power..., and there is nobody who can stop him...., because..., he is the chosen one of Dranzer, the Fire God.... And because of that, we are the investigators of the Hiwatari case..., because Ray and me are the chosen ones of Draciel and Drigger... Just like Takao-san is Dragoon's....'
"Mizuhara-san?" A gentle voice asked and a soft hand touched his own.
Max glanced up and stared at Takao's concerned face. "Are you alright?" Max nodded, putting on a smile on his face. "Don't worry Kinomiya-san! I'm okay!" He grinned.
"So....", Takao paused and clasped his hands, avoiding Max' searching gaze, "but how can you prevent him from going after me? It's no secret, that he is the chosen one of Dranzer...." Takao hesitantly said, twiddling his thumbs. "Please tell me..... I don't want to send you to your demise..."
Max breathed in deeply, mentally debating with himself to trust Takao or not. 'He is a chosen one after all....and he is nice' His mind supplied and Max' decision was made.
"We could stop him, because we are the chosen ones of Drigger and Draciel." Max answered, voice serious.
Takao gasped and his right hand flew to his mouth. "You are...?! Oh my, I never expected this..." Muttered Takao and Ray had to agree. He never thought he would see the chosen one of Dragoon, as well.
Dragoon was rumored to be the strongest of the four gods, but also the most mysterious.
His form was a blue Asian dragon with razor-sharp claws and a long tail. He was the god of air, weather and wind, but he had also an unknown, unpredictable power and was very protective of it's chosen.
There also existed Dranzer, a red phoenix, god of fire Drigger, a white Tiger, god of earth and Draciel, a purple turtle, the god of water. A legend claimed that that if you gathered every item of those gods, they will grant you a wish, no matter what.
Each of the gods had a chosen, one whose mission was to protect the sacred items of their respective god. The chosen ones had a bit of the power of their gods and had unnatural abilities.
Dragoon's item was an unusually formed sword, richly decorated with blue gems, Dranzer's was a golden spear with red rubies and amber, Drigger's was a dagger made of diamond, the hilt was pure gold and Draciel's was a bronze shield with amethysts and onyxes.
Max was startled out of his thoughts when Ray waved his hand in front of his face. "Earth to Max, we still have a guest and it's rude to space out." But Takao just laughed and smiled merrily. "Oh, I don't care about manners, it's alright, go ahead and just space out. I don't mind."
Max' eyes were drawn to Takao's lap, where his hands rested. His left hand played with a golden ring around his ring finger.
"Oh, are you engaged Kinomiya-san?" Ray asked, also noticing the ring. Takao just smiled and twisted the ring around. "No......" He whispered, a mysterious smile dancing on his lips.
Then he looked at the clock on the wall and gasped loudly. "Oh no, I'm late! It's now visiting time at the hospital! I'm so sorry, but I've to go! I still want to visit Tala!" Takao stood up and bowed. "It was a pleasure to meet you, but I am really late."
"Oh, it's okay." Remarked Max and smiled warmly. "Be safe and please contact us, if there is anything suspicious, okay?" "Yes, have a nice day, Kon-san, Mizuhara-san."
Takao bowed again and quickly left the room.
After the door was shut again, Ray and Max stared at each other. The office was silent, no one was moving. After a long moment... "Ready to work?" Max smirked. "Ready as ever."
Ray stepped up to the window, moved the curtain aside and glanced out of the window, catching sight of Takao, who got into a black limousine, a Mercedes.
'But I do wonder...., he seemed a bit too unfazed for someone whose house was nearly robbed, but it's probably just my imagination...'
Not a second later, the limousine drove off.
---------------------------------
Takao, still dressed in the kimono stepped into a barely lit room and kneeled, eyes cast low.
"Were you successful? Do you have the information?" A low and deep voice asked from the back of the room, sending shivers down Takao's back.
"Of course Kai-sama. I gathered the information, just like you ordered. As you suspected, Ray Kon is Drigger's chosen and Max Mizuhara is Draciel's chosen. After I told them, I was the chosen one of Dragoon, they told me this eagerly. Both are very naive for supposed police-men, especially this Max Mizuhara-san guy. Mission accomplished!" Takao said and raised his head, smiling softly.
His heart started to beat faster, his skin got clammy, as he caught sight of his master, Kai Hiwatari. Kai had cold crimson eyes, his bangs were gray, his back-hair deep blue and his skin was pale. On each side of his cheeks were two blue triangles.
'He's so handsome....so perfect..' Takao thought, blushing, adoration in his eyes.
He wore black trousers, a black turtleneck, black boots and black gloves. A white scarf graced his neck as a contrast to his black outfit.
Kai nodded and his eyes softened a bit. "Very good, I'm pleased Takao. You will have a reward soon. But now go. And please call Taichi in, after hearing those good news I want to celebrate a bit."
Takao's eyes widened, before narrowing again. 'Kai-sama why can't you acknowledge me and my love? I love you so much, but you won't start anything with me..., am I this ugly? You always have sex with your other servants, but never with me..... why?' The blue-eyed man adverted his eye and put a shivering hand on his chest. 'It hurts...., so much, the pain, I can't stand it.....'
"What are you waiting for Takao?" Kai's voice questioned. Takao shook his head and forced a smile on his lips. "Nothing, I'm sorry. I will go now and...." But Takao was cut off as a coughing fit overcame him.
*cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough*
'ARGH!!! Hurts so much....!!!' Takao's mind screamed and he fell to his knees, unable to stand any longer, supporting his body with his shaking arms.
"Takao!" Kai cried out and he abruptly stood up. He narrowed his eyes. "Tala! Kenny! Get your butts in there and help him!" He yelled, glaring at nothing.
The door was thrown open after a moment and a redhead and a brunette stood in the doorframe, panting. "Takao-sama!" Tala shouted and ran towards Takao. He helped the coughing man up and asked angrily: "What happened?"
"Don't ask such stupid questions, you can see what happened. Get him out of the room, I can't stand this pathetic sight. And get me Taichi!" Snapped Kai and ushered the trio out of his room. Tala glared furiously at Kai, but complied and led a stumbling Takao to his bedroom. Kai slammed the door with such a force shut, that a lamp next to it wobbled. He leaned back against the door, brooding.
'It get's worse every day..., the cold weather isn't helping his health,... you useless thing! Always getting sick! You're getting weaker every day!' Kai thought, eyes squinted shut, frustrated.
"Kai-sama?" A male voice asked and Kai smirked maliciously. "Come in." He said and walked towards the middle of his spacious room. The door opened and a boy with brown hair and green eyes stepped in. "You wanted to see me?" The boy questioned, anticipation in his eyes, licking his lip.
"Strip." Commanded Kai and the boy did that without protest. 'What a worthless slut... But it's time to relieve myself of my frustrations...' Kai thought and pulled a leather whip out of the drawer of his desk.
"This is going to hurt Taichi....., scream all you want...."
"Kai-sama?"
Green eyes widened.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! AAAARRGGGHHHH!!"
The pained scream of a young man echoed in the mansion for hours. Everyone ignored the yells and whimpers, trying to concentrate on their work.
The next day the corpse of a brown-haired boy rolled over the cold asphalt, on his naked body were several whip marks and on his thighs were dried blood and white fluids.
Nobody cared.
---------------------------------
/Next morning/
Kai sat comfortably on a huge cushion, a cup of hot coffee in his hand, utterly satisfied. He was nibbling on a croissant, posture relaxed for once. Kai rested his head against the soft fabric, coolly watching the bowing men in front of him. "And? Did you get rid of the body?" The red-eyed man asked while he examined his hand closely.
"Yes Kai-sama. We disposed the body ten miles away from here, near a river." The tallest man, apparently the leader replied, black sunglasses glittering in the light.
"Good. Dismissed." Kai said and looked out of the large window, clearly bored. The men bowed once again and hurried out of the room, closing the door behind them.
Suddenly there was a knock
"Kai-sama?" A high, nervous voice asked. Kai looked up and scowled. "What?" "I am here to inform you that Takao-sama woke up and wants to see you." The voice said and Kai quickly stood up and wrenched the door open.
Before him stood a young maid, clearly terrified of him. "I got it. Tell him to go to my sleep-quarters. Understood?"
"Yes sir!" Squeaked the girl and ran away. Kai sighed, annoyed and walked towards his bedroom, a frown on his face.
'Why is he already awake? That idiot....' Kai thought and opened the door to his bedroom.
Kai locked the door and strode towards his bed, arms crossed. He leaned back an awaited Takao's arrival.
"Kai-sama?" A hesitant voice asked. 'Finally, took some sweet time Takao....' Kai got up, unlocked the door and pulled Takao in. He turned around after locking the door and glared at Takao.
"Well?" The dual-haired man demanded.
Takao fiddled with his hands and didn't dare to look up. "First I want to apologize for being such a bother, I'm always getting sick at most inopportune times...., I'm really sorry Kai-sama. And then I wanted to ask, if I should continue with my mission? To befriend the other two chosen?"
There was short silence, then...
"Yes. Try to befriend them, but don't get attached to them. We have to use them later, remember? Maybe even kill them." Takao bit his lip at these words, but said nothing.
Suddenly he was embraced from behind and his breathing hitched.
"And don't forget Takao, you're my tool. You have to kill them if I want you to do it. You want to be useful, right? You don't want me to kick you out, do you? I don't have to remind you, that I've no use for an useless weapon...., you promised to be an useful tool." Kai whispered, smiling cruelly.
Midnight blue eyes widened and Takao nodded slowly in reply. Kai chuckled darkly and trailed his hand down Takao's face, his fingertips only grazing the soft skin.
"You're mine to use." Purred the red-eyed man, resting his hands possessively on Takao's sides.
"Yes..."
/Flashback/
A younger Takao stood besides a smirking Kai, who was standing on a roof of a skyscraper. They were both gazing at stars in the sky, faces unreadable. Below them were the twinkling lights Tokyo, Japan's biggest city.
"You see this Takao? This is Tokyo, my district. I am the boss of the underworld of Tokyo, ruling everything. But I want more. More power. More. But I can't accomplish that alone.... What I need is...." Kai trailed off and gazed at Takao. The blue-haired child nodded and smiled brightly at Kai, his cheeks red.
"Don't worry, I'm Kai-sama's weapon, please keep me by your side as your tool."
Kai smirked smugly and ruffled Takao's hair. "Good kid." He stated and turned around, walking towards the door. "Follow me and I will teach you how to become the weapon I seek."
"Yes Kai-sama!" Laughed Takao and followed Kai, clutching the sleeves of Kai's black trench coat.
/End of Flashback/
"Do what you can. And get out! I won't accept any failure!" Kai hissed and roughly pushed Takao away. "Yes...." The blue-eyed man closed his eyes. 'I won't cry..., Kai-sama needs a strong weapon! Don't cry!' But tears came and dripped on the soft carpet.
Takao fled the room, crying slightly.
Kai threw himself on the bed, buried his face in the soft pillow and squinted his eyes shut, trying to forget Takao's sad and hurt eyes, filled with tears.
'Just a little longer... Soon I will have the sacred items and then he won't be useful as a tool anymore...!!' Yelled Kai to himself. But still he couldn't forget Takao's tears. 'What's wrong with me? Damn that kid!'
-------------------------------------------------------
"Kinomiya-san?" A voice cried out and Takao snapped out of his daydream, looking around and spotting Max, who was coming towards him. There were both standing near a lake, in a big park in Tokyo.
"Oh hello Mizuhara-san." Smiled Takao and put his hands behind his back. "What a surprise to see you. What are you doing here?" Takao continued, eyes focused on the ducks swimming in the water of the lake.
"Oh, nothing important, just wanted to walk a bit...."Max frowned and stepped closer.
"Were you crying Kinomiya-san? Your eyes are red and puffy...., such a beautiful person like you shouldn't cry..." Max softly said.
"Thank you Mizuhara-san..., but I wasn't crying..., something was in my eyes..." Responded Takao, eyes downcast.
"Please call me Max, it makes me sound so old if you call me Mizuhara-san." "Okay.... Max-kun..."
Both went silent and stared at the lake, lost in thoughts.
Suddenly Takao turned around and looked at a startled Max with his piercing gaze
"Please tell me Max-kun...., do you have a person so precious to you, that you would do anything for that person?" Takao asked, his voice serious.
Max didn't answer for a long time. "Yes, I have a person, who means the world to me and also my family and friends, I would do anything for them...., because I have such precious people, I am happy, they are my reason to exist..., without them, I can't live. I would protect them with my life...." Max smiled, remembering his partner.
"That's nice.... I'm happy for you Max-kun."
"Do you have a person, who means so much to you that you would give up your life for them?" Max asked.
"Yes, I've somebody precious to me....." Takao dropped his gaze to the ground and blushed, playing with his gold ring.
"A-ha! So that precious person gave you the ring! A declaration of love!" Max cried loudly, grinning from ear to ear.
'I would describe it as ownership...' Takao thought, but was nevertheless happy.
"Any way I'm glad that you also have a precious person Kinomiya-san! But I've to go, I'm late as always! See you!" Max said and turned around.
"Bye Max.....kun..." Whispered Takao, face emotionless.
"Oh and Kinomiya-san? You're also a precious friend to me! I just like you, you're so nice!" Grinned Max and waved. Takao's midnight blue eyes widened and his jaw dropped a bit.
The blue-haired man stared at the disappearing back of the blonde for a long time, not moving, biting his lower lip.
"No...., don't like me Max-kun....., you only will get hurt...., because I belong to your arch-enemy.... I am his willing tool....." Takao hung his head in shame and smiled sadly.
"Thank you Max-kun...., if we'd met under different circumstances, we might have become true best friends.... I'm sorry for betraying your trust, but Kai-sama is my sole
reason for existing."
Takao turned around and walked away.
TBC....
How was it? Please tell me and review!
