Chapter 12:

Standing up as straight as he could Bear walked up the steps, opening his son's door, looking around.

Nothing special, just a normal small house. Couch, T.V., bedroom, everything one would need.

The door slammed shut. With a small jump Bear spun around, staring into his sons hateful eyes.

" I knew you would come daddy dearest." His son smirked. " I knew it."

Slowly Bear backed up, and then stopped. Why was he afraid? Koi was his son, his flesh and blood, and he needed him right now. Not to be scared and run away, he needed him with him, around him, to comfort him. Something was wrong, and Bear wanted to help his last living son.

" Koi." He smiled, taking one hand off his side and grasping his left arm, the one still holding his stomach. " Koi, what's wrong with you, tell me, I can help, I promise."

His son glared at him, not making a move. Silence swept into the room, filling it heavily.

" Please." He begged. " Please, I know your hurting and I want to help you any way that I can, I lov…"

He couldn't finish. Koi walked over so fast Bear couldn't react and punched him in the face, sending the older man to the floor. Before he fell Bear grabbed a hold of the nearby table, sending both it and the lamp on it crashing to the floor and sending the room into darkness.

Krim couldn't tell how long they had been traveling for, only that the address was making him confused. He didn't really know where they were going; he was always gone on business and such so he never really got to know his settings. B.T. was directing him though, to the best of her knowledge.

" Ok, I believe we turn a right down this road. Gah, I don't know!" She growled, slamming her fist into the dashboard.

" Calm down, it wont do us anything to get angry."

She remained quiet, staring at the address as if willing it in her mind to magically send them to the right direction. No such luck though, Krim still drove blindly into the night.

Mimiru gasped for breath, leaning over and holding her knees. Sora stared up at her with curious eyes, then began his search once again, looking around to find any clue about the whereabouts of Bear.

" Where do you think he could have gone?" He mumbled, clutching onto her hand tightly.

She sat up and took a look around, finally staring back down at him. " I really don't know, but I think I have a clue."

He watched her, and then turned his head once again to search around him. Nothing.

" Come on." She mumbled, grabbing onto his hand once again and leading him down the road.

Bear gasped, holding onto his side in pain. Blood seeped through the fabric of his clothing, dripping onto the cold hard wood floor. Gritting his teeth he stood, his hand falling onto the shards of glass that was once the lamp. Darkness filled his vision; the only things he could see were the outlines of the furniture, dulled in the dark night.

' Were did he go, I can't hear him…'

Someone stepped up behind him. Standing still, Bear's eyes slowly turned to the right, until he conjured enough courage to look behind him. The shape of his son stood there, holding something in his hand.

" Please son." Bear gasped, grasping onto his wound and slowly sitting up, leaning against one knee. " Please, I want to help. Lets just talk, alright?!"

Koi shook his head. " Not this time. For years you've been telling me to wait. To talk. To have father son moment, but I wont have it. Its not fair!"

Bear brought up his arm just as Koi slammed the metal object against him. Pain burned into his flesh, blood spraying onto his face. He could feel something caught in his arm, tearing and burning. Ripping his limb from his grasp Bear stumbled back, hitting against the couch, something unknown thumping to the floor. Bear didn't have any time to check it out though.

' I'm too weak, I can't even stand.'

Koi laughed, a cold bitter laugh, and Bear held onto his arm. Raising up the knife once again Koi lunged, missing him by mere inches.

Krim held his breath as he swerved to the side of the road, barely missing the two kids who ran out in front. Stopping the car he jumped out, racing over to them.

" Are you alright!" He yelled, grabbing onto the girls arm.

" Yeah." She mumbled, and then stood. A young boy huddled behind her, glaring at him.

Krim stared down at them for a moment, and then shook his head. He was about to turn around when the girl grabbed onto him.

" Have you seen a man run by here? He was in the hospital and I think he was looking for someone. He was bleeding, a wound near his gut!" She asked, sweat rolling down her face and tears brimming in her eyes.

Krim stood there in shock, then turned fully around to face her. " Do you mean a man named Bear?"

She nodded, a smile forming.

" Wait." Krim pointed down at her and smiled. " You must be Mimiru! Its me, Krim."

Her grin grew bigger, until the boy grabbed onto her and tugged. " Bear" He spoke, his voice soft and nervous.

She nodded. " Krim, can we ride with you, I think I know where Bear is."

Krim grabbed onto her and ran into the car, the kids getting into the back. Turning it on and glancing back at B.T., he took off down the road directed by Mimiru.

Bear held onto the side of the counter, stumbling into what looked like the kitchen. His vision was too blurry to tell.

Behind him cackled his son, stepping slowly and loud enough to taunt Bear.

Putting his good hand down on the counter he felt himself slip, the mixture of blood and the plates half off the table causing him to loose his balance. As he fell the dishes around him smashed, the noise vibrating throughout the dark house.

" Please father, just stand there and let me finish this." Koi laughed, stepping over to him.

Bear winced and look up, too weak to move any longer. His limbs just wouldn't respond to what his mind was telling them to do.

" Koi, I'm sorry about your mother, and your siblings. I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." He croaked out, blood seeping into his mouth and choking him from his speech.

Koi shook his head. " No, you are not getting away this time!" He cried. " For years I have waited for this. It's your fault they're dead, and now your going to pay!"

Bear sat up slowly, leaning in a sitting position against the counter, his head down. Tears trickled down his face and dripped onto the floor, mixing with the crimson liquid. " I'm sorry."

Koi choked, his hands shaking against the knife. " If you didn't ask them to come, if you didn't fix that damned car when mom asked you to, you would have broken down and they wouldn't have rushed to get you. You killed them, you took them away from me!"

Filled with fury Koi charged, knife raised, yet Bear didn't move. He only watched his son, pain filling not only his physical form, but his mind and heart. He had hurt his son so much, and he couldn't be helped now.

" Too late…"

Closing his eyes, he waited for the oncoming pain, but nothing came. Only a load bang and something falling to the ground.

Opening his eyes he looked down in horror, his son on the ground and a pool of blood spilling around him.

Dark shadows ran toward him, yelling something unknown into his ear. He didn't understand though, and frankly he didn't care all too much. Slowly he rested, staring down at the dead frozen corpse that was once his son.

Chris – GOD ONLY KNOWS HOW LONG IVE BEEN WANTING TO DO THAT! Glad that's outta my system. I know I'm making at least one more chapter, I don't know about any more. Perhaps I should wrap this up. But I may make a separate story. Hmm, like something about the dysfunctional family that is Sora's. I didn't really get into him much. Some, but not much. Or maybe a sequel…

Shampoo: Maybe Chris should finish one story before starting on other one.

Chris… Maybe your right. All right, I know I always say this, but review! -
