Secrets hidden in the garden
Chapter 3
"Calm down or I will have arrested for violence against police commander!" An icy voice, filled with promises about things you would regret the minute you would know about them…like a night in the police station's worst cell, and that was only because there were other polices around to watch… A voice like frozen chocolate sauce…
-Ice cold, angry mumble responded-
"Well, try me."
Dark looked out through the window, gazing over to the activity in his neighbor's garden. Early this morning had a civilian police and a kid, yes a blue eyed teen (!) knocked on his door, hearing the reasons why he accused his neighbor for murder. After he had finished his monologue had the teenager, not the grownup, but the youngster started to ask him questions.
Yes, it was good questions, and yes, the youngster had a proper degree, but it had all hurt in his very soul. Young genius should one only hear of, never meet, not when they are doing a job… that's bad for one's self-confidence… very bad; it practically ruins it. But on the other hand…it would make it harder for the cute blond to wriggle out of the whole thing…
Anyway, the teen, Hiwatari-kun as he was named, had asked him about everything from 'how sure he was' to 'what about the hand?' and so on and on… when Dark had answered all the questions as best as he could, pointed out the place he had found the hand and showed them the ring, had the polices ended their stay and drove back to the station.
However, nine o'clock, had they returned with a bunch of their friends, for a visit in the Hikair-garden. Dark had seen how an officer informed Krad about the happenings in his garden, but when he ended his ramblings had Krad looked so feral that they had divided three polices to guard him.
The rest of the strangers had chopped down the part of the lilacs that was in the region where the body was. Dark had to admit to himself, although he would never admit it to anyone else that the blue haired teen knew what to look for. Truthfully, he had been more then edgy to be forced to come out and show them where to dig… especially since Krad looked like he was about to start hitting the guards around him.
"We have found it!" a voice rang from the opposite garden and in through the half-open window. 'It', that could only mean one thing… they had found Riku… Dark stared on Krad to see his reaction, and many was the emotions that flied over the blondes face; unbelief, surprise and last of all the usual ice-cold anger that lingered on the handsome features. Dark didn't know however he though it was good or bad that the blonde finally showed some temper, however that Hiwatari-kun seemed to be well equipped to handle the almost visibly fuming Krad.
It took almost an hour after that before Krad had composed himself, and capitulated to the unconquerable forces that now occupied his a little bit less beautiful garden.
Meanwhile had the activity by the bush just continued; cars with agents came and left, different strangers replaced other strangers for some reason or another. By now, 1 pm had the sounds from the 'forbidden' area in/by/whatever the bush changed, the polices had become more gleeful, almost relaxed, while others, mostly dressed in green coats with a complex sign on their backs, had started a frenzy of activities in the said area. One of the green-coats walked up to the police forces that now stood like a wall (1) round Krad, said something inaudible for Dark and as a result started the polices to pack their things to head back to the station. The policemen drove away…leaving Krad, standing in his yard…
.(1) Well, a very scattered and relaxed wall…
Krad's POV
The annoying little blue-haired police commander Sir disappeared down the road together with his a little bit too old friends. (That kid was too old for his own good) Only the ones in green coats were still remaining, but they took little to no interest what he did, as long it didn't affect them. All they wanted to do was digging, and sometimes running into his kitchen for using the phone.
'That little brat', Krad had wanted too toss the lingering people out of HIS garden, but, that kid…His thoughts lingered a moment on the dilemma how bad it would be to… hrmm… 'harm' a certain teen just a little bit. It wouldn't like he would mind the time in jail, especially now when Riku…
Shaking his head, he snapped out of that thought. 'What good would that bring? What could he do? There were no peace in his house due to… something, oh let us say; green clothed. Because even if he had locked the doors from the kitchen and the hall, those silly, idiotic morons would stomp, shriek and misbehave like… like… it was like he was forced to take care of a dozen of Hiwatari-kuns under-age friends, which where having a tear-down-the-garden-party in HIS garden'. But then again, he doubted that that kid knew how too party…
Growling slightly while composing himself again, he returned to his main thoughts; 'what could he do? He couldn't take the car anywhere because he didn't trust them to lock the house… correction; he didn't trust them at all. But he could not remain here either…'
A sigh escaped from his lips, and suddenly his eyes fell on something. 'Oh yes, that's an option.' And he started to walk up to Dark's house.
Dark's POV
Dark saw Krad standing still in his garden, looking like he was in deep thoughts, when Krad started to move towards his house. Dark froze, he still couldn't believe that Krad was not arrested and the information his eyes sent him now was just too much to handle for his brain. The little goblins in his mind went out in a wild strike…and Krad came closer and closer. He had to pretend he knew nothing…
Far too soon, Krad walked in through the open door, facing Dark in the hall.
"Hi."
"H…Hi?" Dark's mind worked, thanks to a small number of strikebreakers that was bold enough to ride out this storm. "How are you?"
A heavy snort and then; "…Fine…just fine…" the voice was like the one from a very angry icicle… Dark just had to point this out…
"Most people don't say 'fine' the same way a general would say… 'This means war' or 'Attack'."
"Really...? Guess I'm not most people when…"
"Err…no...? Coffee?"
"Fine"
During the time it took Dark to make coffee, put milk, cakes and stuff on the table, sat Krad was snorting, snarling, huffing and leering on/to/because of the agents working on the opposite side of the road. Dark became really disturbed; he had never seen Krad act like this before. Putting a cup in front of Krad he placed himself on a chair and said:
"Are you sure you okay? It doesn't seem like it"
Krad tilted. "NO! I'm NOT OKAY…I've had my worst day EVER! This morning called Riku telling me that it's OVER; because she has found a guy named Daisuke at the hospital, and she is moving in with him…tomorrow"
"Riku?...at the hospital?" Dark was…confused, so to say… The little not-working goblins inside his mind became more interested… "But…?"
"Yes, Risa; her twin sister was in a car-accident two weeks ago and has been in coma. She woke up three days ago. But THAT is NOT THE POINT! WE are talking about MY CRAPPY DAY right now. So she's been seeing this guy, a friend to Risa, by the way and….AAARRRGGH!" Krad roared in anger, panting heavily he continued his jargon in fuming wrath. "And you know WHAT? After THAT it went DOWNHILL!"
Krad turned to Dark and said in a very smooth voice, like razorblades in silk "after that knocked the whooolee police station on my little door ACCUSING ME FOR KILLING RIKU AND WANTED TO DIG UP MY GARDEN!"
Dark could do nothing but gulp.
Krad took no notice of that; instead he raised and walked over to Dark, putting one hand on the table and the other on the back of Dark's chair, effectively stopping the other man from running away if he would be able to. Every goblin inside Dark had stopped their work; all he could do was looking up into those golden eyes that were filled with Hell's fire and think 'Ops, Riku in hospital? Crap…Krad is really pissed, beyond pissed…double-crap…my fault, not good' Krad continued in a low silky, seductive voice that sent shivers down Dark's spine.
"The police wouldn't let me know who called them. They thought it would be better if I cooled down before I got that information. They thought it was a risk that I was going to kill that person…and I actually agree with them"
"You…you do?"
"Yes" a sweet, sweet smile. "Right now, I would definitely kill whoever it was that made that call…"
"Oh." The goblins surrendered, Dark had to handle this without them… "But…but…but…the corpse? They found…? Who's…?"
Krad straightened himself up, crossed his arms and like that; his fury was…err…over. "Sooner or later I'll found out who it was. Hmm? Yeah, they started to dig near the lilacs' not believing in my story about Riku until someone had checked it." Krad's rage was over and he sounded half-tired and half-interested. "But they found someone"
"R…really?"
"Yeah, one of the archeologists made a preliminary dating on the corpse and they think it's from late Stone Age or something…"
DD: In the next chapter; the epilogue will the slash come in, if you don't like that end the story here… in other case…just wait…I'm almost finished with the writing. XD I find Krad freaking out is just too funny.
And to the reviewers...Thank you all.
