Chapter 5: Love Caught in the Corner
-Hey, I 'm back! Sorry for the delay, but here's the real chapter 5. I hope you read the side story The Day We Met, cause there will be some references to it
I want to thank everyone that struck by, even after my little selfish need to take a break. Many hugs and cookies to you all ;)
Warning: If you haven't figured it out yet, well, than it's too bad, I don't want to repeat it again ;;
(One week has past; Yohji is now driving his Lucky Seven, making flower deliveries all over town.)
Yohji's POV
It's been weeks now, and I really feel like there is someone watching me. It's not just Aya, it feels like more than one person doing it, I know that Aya has been watching he hasn't been subtle about it, but now it feels like someone else is doing it too. Someone in the shadows that keeps getting all the whispers shrieking at me, it feels familiar, but not in the good way like Omi or Ken, more like someone that is a danger to me. Maybe Schwarz? Yet I sense that it's the same one that keeps coming, could I have just pissed off one of them, and this is a solo plot against me? Or have all those missions finally got to me, and this is just some delusion from my paranoid mind to punish me? I would really like it to be the latter.
I can't sleep; I keep feeling like someone is watching me, whenever I go to sleep. It's so unnerving that I even when I do fall asleep, that I keep hearing a voice it's male and kind of nasal whispering to me that I should watch myself and run away fast. The voice is familiar, but at the same time, no matter how many times I hear it, I can't quite put my finger on whose voice it is.
Plus the voice of Her (1) keeps getting louder and louder, begging me to run far away. I'm been hearing the voice of Her since I was sixteen, it's definitely not Asuka's voice, but yet it brings the same comfortable feeling as Asuka does, she seems to be really familiar to me, like I heard her voice even before she became part of the whispers. She has a soft voice like it's part of wind when it's whistling; there may be a Chinese accent to it, like a rural province one, not one of those cultured city types. In my dreams I see a face to go with the voice, it's a Asian woman's face, she's not very pretty, in fact she's quite homely but there's some kind of inner glow to her face that makes me think that she is beautiful. In the dream for some reason she's always standing next to Oracle, holding his hand even, it's so strange…yet I keep feeling that this is more than just a dream but a lost memory. It's kind of silly, how could I forget meeting Oracle in the past?
She keeps warning me to watch my step and that someone is watching me, and someone else wants to hurt me, this someone else is someone who I think is a friend will betray me, while someone who is my enemy will have change of heart and save me. It doesn't make sense…it just doesn't…
It's like everything that was right yesterday is wrong today. And there's no way I can stop it!
(As Yohji is driving, he is too lost in thought to really notice what's happening around him, he accidentally cuts off the guy in front of him. Suddenly car shrieks, honking and the guy cursing while giving him the finger, wakes Yohji from his little trance.)
Oh shit, this is really getting to me. I can't even stop thinking about this unseen stalker; it's all that's on my mind. Oh God, someone please help me.
(Yohji pulls over to the side of the road, puts his head against the steering wheel and tries to hold back a sob. Else where, on top of the roof looking down on the guy, there is a figure with dark sunglasses and a black trench coat silently observing what is taking place).
Schu's POV
Mmm, it looks like I'm finally getting to him. He's breaking down, now all I got to do, is get Abyssinian to hurt him badly and he will crack like a delicate little robin's egg. Working on Abyssinian is pretty easy, he's amazingly probe to violence and darkness, it's like keeping candy away from a spoiled child, who will scream and shout until he gets what he wants…
Soon, out little katzen will get what's coming to him. Or should I say what's coming for him. HAHAHAHAHAHA!
(Mastermind takes one last glance at our sobbing kitten below, adjusts his glasses, and turns away. Jumping to the next rooftop).
-I know this is really short, but I promise the next chapter will be climax of the story. Thanks for reading
