Devil on the Doorstep
Sorry guys, Fan fiction is really playing up for me at the minute. I can't update any stories and I can't reply to reviews. So sorry all you guys who didn't get a reply! As I said to someone… I think it was Winter-Rae, who's just gone home and left me… aww, just kidding, anyway, there are two stories that will lead on from this one, one's a GX and the other's a post G-Rev. They'll be fun to write. And I dedicate this chapter to my boyfriend Phil, who likes Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne!
Devil on the Doorstep; Chapter XVII: Suicide Solution
Kai climbed up the side of the bridge, feeling the wind beat through his body. He was clinging to the outside of the bridge, just another victim to be lost to the waves beneath it.
"Kai!" He heard someone yell. Dammit, not now… He ignored the speaker and readied himself to jump. Suddenly, he felt someone behind him. Kai growled angrily and jumped.
But someone grabbed his arm and pulled him close. It couldn't be…
"Dad?" Kai twisted around, his boots hanging onto the spikes that stuck up from the bridge, meant to detract potential suicide victims, but they just wore heavy boots.
"None other." Seth smirked. His feet were killing him, but he wasn't going to mention that.
"Let me go, Dad!" Kai squirmed against the Phantom's grip.
"No can do, Kai." Seth just held him tighter. "Not until you tell me why."
"You're lying." Kai stated.
"Yep, how did you guess?" Seth was a mess, but he'd never looked better.
"Let go of me! I want to get out!"
"Not gonna happen. If you jump, I jump." The Phantom's mouth was firm, and his grip even more.
"What do you care? You tried to kill yourself to get away from me! Let go!"
"No." That single word made Kai even angrier.
"Then I'll take you down with me!"
"I'd like to see you try."
"I've taken down Tala, and he's the same size as you!"
"Yes, but did Tala have his feet firmly embedded in Bakuten Bridge?" The way Seth said those words made Kai look down. He gasped. Firmly embedded weren't the words Kai would have used. More like 'stuck on spikes'. Kai became acutely aware of the pool of blood he was standing in.
"Leave me alone!" Kai said through gritted teeth.
"Do you want me to hit you?" Seth replied mildly. Kai bit back a smile. Now this was the Seth he knew.
"Dad! Let me go!"
"Not going to happen. And, for the record, I didn't try to die to get away from you; I thought I'd be doing you a favour. Plus, I didn't like the food."
"You're lying." Seth gently stepped down of the bridge, wincing as his injured foot hit the ground. He held out a hand for Kai.
"Come on Kai. Let's get back."
"No!"
But, as Kai watched, something happened. Seth's handsome face grew pale and he looked at his bloodstained feet.
"Oh God… I think I may have overdone it…" He whispered before he hit the floor.

Then you ask from your cask, is there life after birth, because what you saw could mean hell on earth…

"What?" Bryan slammed his hands down on the desk. The receptionist cowered away at the sight of two extremely angry Russians. "What do you mean, you've lost him?"
"How can you lose a patient?" Tala hissed venomously.
"Well, sirs, he was being treated for asphyxiation – he was in a coma, but he suddenly woke up and ran out the door…" She trailed off, miserably aware of the hospitals failure.
"And you haven't checked for him? I mean, for God's sake! He can't walk without a stick!" Tala placed a hand on Bryan's shoulder. He could hear something.
"Help! Somebody help me!" A muffled voice yelled in panic. Bryan and Tala looked at each other. It sounded like –
"KAI!" The two Russians yelled as the Indonesian ran into the room, carrying an unconscious Seth, blood dripping from his feet.

Evil thoughts and evil doings, cold alone you hang in ruins, thought you'd escape the reaper, but you can't escape the master keeper…

Seth groaned as his eyes opened.
"What happened?" He whispered.
"Dad! You're ok!" Kai was by his side in an instant. Seth rose himself to a sitting position and enveloped his son in his arms.
"Thought the better of jumping, did you?" He chuckled. "I'll bet Bryoni would be pleased!" Kai smiled and burrowed his head in Seth's thin chest.
And, out of the corner of his eye, Seth could see a young girl, her blue hair tied back, her crimson eyes sparkling and a look of longing on his face.

Suicide is slow with liquor, take a bottle drown your sorrows, then it floods away tomorrow…

Oh yes... Competition Time!
Have a think guys, wrack your brains! I need a title for the sequel to this one. Preferably something from lyrics, but I don't know many songs that would fit... the sequel is going to be just like its predecessors, nice and sad and angsty. So have a think guys, you have three chapters!
