Bleeding Heart
Written By: Thread Sage
Ban: Heh…Heh…Heh…My turn for the disclaimer.
ThreadSage: Umm….
Ban: ThreadSage, that loser that froze me in the block of ice, does not own any of my friends (the Get backer characters, thanks god!). But, he does own the losers, Touzoku, and Kyo Shiru and Kogou Haato, who he created by himself.
Threadsage: Aww! Look! You made Kogou cry!
Chapter four
School Part III
RECAP:
"I hope you are better at fighting with the elements then you are at Karate." She said, giving a very, very small smile.
"What? "He said, taken aback by her comment.
"Ready yourself. "She said as she took a fighting stance.
"What?" Kogou said, stepping back.
"Go." She said as she ran forward him.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Kogou put up his forearms to block to attack from the girl. She had brought her fist up and punched him hard, harder then he thought she could punch. She punched hard enough to push him back five feet.
Kogou tried to pull his arms apart, but his arms wouldn't budge.
"Don't waste your energy. You were hit with sub zero temperatures. It will take some minutes for your arms to separate." The woman said coldly.
Kogou lowered his arms and saw that he fist was emitting a cold vapor.
"Still want to fight?" She said, raising her fist.
'She wants me for something' Kogou thought.
'But what? Does this have something to do with my dream? That place called the AEC?' Kogou thought.
"I want an answer, Kogou Haato." The woman said.
Kogou was taken aback.
"How…how do you know my name?" He asked.
'So he doesn't remember it all. He remembers were little which means he can't use many of the elements and if he can, I bet he can barley use them.' She thought with a smirk.
"If you come with me I'll tell you.' She said.
Kogou winced.
"What do you want with me?" Kogou said, trying to act brave.
"That's for me to know." She said, rising her hand. Small white particles built up into her hand, making a small blue ball.
"And for you to find out!" she yelled, throwing the orb.
Kogou eyes widened. As if it was second nature, he put up his hand, and made a small amount of fire come from his hand and shoot in a swirl. The fire and the ice collided, creating a fury of steam.
'hmm.' She thought.
The steam cleared in seconds.
"I…I did it." He said smiling.
"Don't get cocky." The woman said.
"I'll end this right now!" She said, running forward, but she tried to move and just fell to the ground.
"What?' She yelled, looked around. Around he legs were thin white threads.
"Strings?" She and Kogou said.
There was the familiar jingle behind his head.
"Attacking a young man? With the harshest of elements? How…un-warrior like." The voice said.
"Kazuki?" Kogou said turning around.
The woman grumbled and with a wave of her hands, the stings became to fragile to stay together.
"Thread-Master Kazuki." The woman said, standing up.
"We have been looking for you." The woman said smiling.
Kazuki winced.
"And why is that?" He said, reaching for his bells and standing in front of Kogou.
"Of please. You are going to use your efforts to protect that…that failed experiment." The woman said. She spat out the words "failed experiment".
Kogou winced. The same felling he felt when he was in the presence of Jim was back. The felling of rejection.
"Why you." Kazuki said as he glanced back at the shuddering Kogou.
Kazuki was about to use his strings, but a blur blocked him.
"That's enough Yarn Ball." A voice said.
"Ba…Ban?" Kogou said, knowing that voice.
"Ban Midou." The woman said.
"It seemed that everyone we have been looking for goes to this school." The woman said.
"Just shut up." Ban said.
"Do you think you can beat us all?" Ban said.
"There is only two of you, plus the boy down there. You have nothing on me. My ice will easily cut through all three of you." The woman said.
"Don't you mean four of us?" a voice said.
The woman spun around to see a young man will needles in his hand staring at her.
"No. She means Five." A female voice said to the right of her.
The kimono wearing woman turned around to see a girl with a small vile in her hand.
The woman growled. She couldn't beat all five of them at once.
"You're lucky, Kogou Haato." The woman said.
"But your friends are with you forever and that is when we will take you." The woman said.
White snow surrounded her and then she was gone.
Everyone stood for a moment, not moving.
"Kogou." Ban said making the first movement.
"I'm fine." He said standing up.
"What happened?" Himiko said running over.
And so Kogou told them everything of what happened.
"I was under the effects of Ether." Ban said, rubbing the back of his head when Himiko asked sternly where Ban was when this happened.
"WHAT!" She yelled.
"Don't shout!" He hissed.
"How many times have I told you about Ether?" Himiko said, rubbing the back of her head.
"I know." He said.
"If it wasn't for Touzoku who just happened to have secretary duty today, I don't think I would have been able to get out." Ban said to Kogou.
"How did Touzoku help?" Kogou asked. He knew that Touzoku could heal things, like the effects of Ether, but if he was frozen in ice.
"He came and got me." Kazuki said, waving his hand.
"Ah.." Kogou said.
"Well then, this is a big problem." Kazuki said.
"Yes it is." Juubei said.
The group then began to bicker of how to protect Kogou, but he didn't notice. He was to busy grabbing his head. A strange headache had just come.
"Are you okay, Kogou?" Kazuki asked, glancing over his shoulder and seeing Kogou crouching on the ground.
"I…I don't know…" Kogou said, closing his eyes tightly.
"Kogou…" Ban said, crouching down.
Then, Kogou felt strange. Like his heart and brain had stopped. His eyes widened for a second, his pupils shaking.
"The AEC, has reawaken." Kogou said to the others. Then, his eyes curled behind his eyes, and he feel forward.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Kogou awoke, his eyes and body weak from stress. He turned his head and looked, seeing Ban Midou sitting in a chair, his head leaned back as he was snoring.
Kogou sat up in his bed. His body was in extreme pain as he put his back against the bed back.
He winced, the sound enough to wake up the sleeping Midou.
"Oh sorry." Kogou said.
'How stupid of me to wake him up.' Kogou's mind said.
"Its (yawn) ok." Ban said, rubbing his eyes.
Kogou blinked. What had happened in the past hours? Why could he not remember?
"Ban." He asked as the brunette reached over the tray and grabbed a glass of water.
"Hmm?" The man said, drinking the water in a single gulp.
"Who are the AEC?' Kogou asked. A strange feeling in his stomach made him feel that he didn't want to know what they were.
Ban stared at the boy.
"I guess you deserve to know." Ban said as he stood up and closed the blinds and curtain that led to the outside world.
He took a deep breath.
"The AEC is an organization of people, powerful business people. They are known, is you delete the acronym, as the Artifical Enhancement Center." Ban said.
"The take willing families who own young children and do "experiments" on them, giving the powers and abnormal abilities." Ban said.
'Oh.' Kogou thought.
"Normally, the memories of the children are erased, so no past experiences can interfere, but sometimes, things like that happen." Ban said, staring at the boy.
"In your case, it seems that you are what they call a "failed" experiment. Those who go under this category, are tossed aside and given to a foster parent." Ban said.
"Along with them being given up, there powers it seems steadily weaken until, within one year, they have no powers. But you, on the other hand, have powers that are getting stronger and stronger by the second. For some reason." Ban said, pondering.
"So I am a failed experiment." The boy said. Ban didn't look at the boy. He didn't know what he could do.
"And I'm guessing, that that woman was after you. She was probably for the AEC." Ban said, blinking and ruffling his hair.
Kogou sat silent for many seconds. So no one made up the AEC; it was a true organization.
"And I have a feeling that your father is involved with them." Ban said, not sure if what he was saying was right.
"But…when a memory comes back to you, Ban. Does it hurt?" Kogou said, trying to piece the puzzles together.
Ban smiled. Kogou's personality was back. He would do fine.
"I'll tell you later flame boy." Ban said, rubbing the boys black hair.
The boy pouted.
"Don't rub my head!" He yelled.
Ban smiled and got up walking around the hospital.
