CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE
Omi shook his head, the days just kept getting longer. Working in the Koneko was fun but it just wasn't like it used to be.
Now, they had to worry about Amara and the nightstalkers. When they should have been worrying about Schwartz and Este. But, they were on the same team now.
The sandy-haired boy rested his head on the table, his eyes drooping slightly. After a minute or two, he had drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
Schuldig and Nagi peered around the corner into the shop, "Is he asleep yet?" Nagi asked, looking back at Schuldig, who was crouched behind him.
"He resisted for a while, but he's asleep now." the orange haired man said with a thumbs up sign. Schuldig stood up and slowly retrieved Omi. "Let's go."
Nagi nodded and dashed into the back with Schuldig right behind him. He would've gotten Omi himself, but what if someone had come in and seen him floating across the room?
Just as they had entered, they left in silence.
I have no idea. he answered. They were with us....
Worry filled Rhelex, spreading through his whole being. Suddenly his body stopped moving all together, as did Hacker's.
The other six that were still with them stopped when they heard a loud 'thud' sound from behind them. Luc ran back towards the fallen twins. "Hey, Rhelex! Hacker, get up!"
Rhelex's hand wrapped itself around Luc's wrist. "H-help... she's going to do something!!" his eyes locked on with the others. Tears of blood poured from both of their eyes.
"Please! Stop her, it's going to be bad... she's going to kill them. She's going to kill him! We have to stop her!!" Hacker shouted.
Luc picked up Rhelex and Raven had gotten Hacker, and they darted back towards the Koneko in search of what the twins meant. Ken awoke with a start at a loud noise coming from the kitchen. "Hey, Yo- tan. Get up, there's someone at the door." he waited for a minute, "At least let me go!"
Yohji unhappily moved away from his koi. "Go on, hurry up though." he said while rolling over.
Ken nodded at walked up the stairs from the basement, the noise still there. "Hey. What are you all doing up? And making so much noise?" he asked the six of them.
Rhelex and Hacker were laying on the large kitchen table next to each other. They were still, eerily still. Blood was still leaking from their eyes.
"What happened to them?" Ken asked, but he was ignored.
"Stop.. S-stop her..." Hacker muttered weakly. "She's going to do something bad.... horrible."
Sobs escaped Rhelex's lips, blood was dribbling down his chin now. "L-luc?! Luc!!" he screamed, his dry lips cracking.
"I'm right here, baby." Luc said, running his hand through the crimson haired man's bangs. "Don't you worry. We'll get her."
"...kiss me." he said with a small smile.
"Anything you want." Lucreziachin said, lowering his head to the man's lips; wettining them in the process. "Better?"
"Thanks." Rhelex said, a bit easier now that he could move his lips without pain.
"Ken. They have their dance coming up, their powers will become very painful until then. I know, we all had it done when we join the inner circle." King said, walking up towards Ken. The two had never spoken and King's voice was soft like a bird's feather.
"Dance?"
Lucreziachin storked Rhelex's hair softly, "It's a dance to complete their powers. But, since they are actual GawL's theirs will be a perfect sight to see...." he nuzzled Rhelex's face, "Their powers will be 'out-of-whack' until their dance. But, they shared a vision; a very powerful one."
"Oh." Ken said, understanding it a bit more, but still equally confused.
"Ran-kun's is with theirs. Abriel and Gabriel's will also." Bree said, leaning against the wall with a grin, "A group of very sexy people..."
The brunette stared at the two motionless figures. They still hadn't changed their positions, but the bleeding had stopped almost completely. Lucreziachin was still leaning over Rhelex, Raven had moved to sit by Hacker.
Ken nodded and turned around, "Okay I'll see you at a better time then, neh?" he said before walking back towards the basement.
"Okay," Tatsuya said with a big smile, "See you later, Ken-kun!" Gatos' strong arms were wrapped around his small body, protectively.
Ken tip-toed into towards the couch, Yohji was still sleeping. They had pushed the table and the couch together since they were the same size, for a makeshift bed. He crawled over the table and curled up next to Yohji.
The blonde moved to face Ken, "So, what happened?"
"Oh, just Defiance coming home." Ken said with a happy smile as Yohji threw his arms around his waist and pulled him closer before going back to sleep.
Ken was soon over comed as well. Ran sat on the window sill, his legs hung over the edge. He was looking at the moon and stars. He had already gone through his whole life, or that's what they had told him.
His whole being was filled with loneliness. So much, in fact, that it was eating him alive. Ran shook his head to rid him of those thoughts. "I..... I want to know where I'm supposed to be." he called out to no one. "I can't take this anymore. This emptyness in my heart...."
He pressed 'play' on his walkman and music blasted his ears. The young man turned his gaze on the ground, 'Would it kill me if I fell from this height? No, it couldn't...'
His hand absently ran over one of the long scars on his arms. Ran winced inwardly, no matter how long these had healed, they still hurt badly.
When the song played again, he sang with it. "I don't know where you lay your head, or where you call your home. I don't know where you eat your meals or where you talk on the phone; I don't know if you got a cook, a butler, or a maid. I don't even know if you got a yard with a hammock in the shade." He paused, with the music.
"I don't know if you got some shelter, say a place to hide. I don't know if you live with friends, whom you can confide. I don't know if you got a family, say a mom or dad. I don't know if you feel love at all, but I bet you wish you had." he paused, waiting for the chorus, "Come and go with me, to my father's house. Come and go with me, to my father's house."
"It's a big, big house with lots and lots of room. A big, big table with lots and lots of food. A big, big yard where we can play football. A big, big house it's my father's house."
"All I know is a big ole house, with rooms for everyone. All I know is lots a land, where we can play and run. All I know is need love and I've got a family; All I know is your all alone, so why not come with me?" Ran sang, stopping the song there. He stood from the window and went to his bed and crawled in. Abriel sighed again as he looked over to his brother, "I'm getting bored waiting here. Can't we go back to our orchid yet?"
"Let us wait a bit longer, someone will come in.... they will do something for us that is very important." Gabriel said standing up as soon as the door flap opened. "Hello, I am Gabriel GawL. This is my twin, Abriel." he said waving towards the still sitting twin. "What can we do for you today?"
"I know very well who you two are." said the man who entered. "I want you to tell me where I can find my sons..."
Abriel smiled and faced his brother, now standing. "I'm sorry. We can only see the past and future. Nothing more, nothing less." A laughing smile appeared on his face.
Gabriel tugged on the mans arm. "But, you might be of use to us... Uncle Kraus..."
