Secrets and Identity?
"Can you keep a secret Kurobara?" Naru says with a frosty tone. She turned around to Naru with an arched eyebrow "Of course I can… What type of question is that? Aein" she stated while rolling her mismatched eyes. He sighed out softly before instructing her to sit back down in her seat.
She of course obeyed and sat down with a slightly confused expression, eyebrows were cocked into a certain angle her mouth was paused into a small pout. Kurobara was wondering, what this was about, what did he want to talk about? He gazed at her with uncertainty and something else. Sorrow?
"Are you going to tell me a secret of yours? If so my interest is peaked but… only if you are comfortable Naru" she told him tilting her head ever so slightly. It became silent, almost unbearable for Kuro but she didn't say anything. She respected him enough to let him come to terms of what he is going to say.
"I'll have to ask you to keep this a secret between us," Naru told her with his icy eyes watching her every move. She shivered at that, his cold eyes were trying to pin her down so to speak. "I promise to keep your secret Kazuya. You have my word" She affirmed politely. "So… what is it? " She hesitantly askes.
"I have come to Japan for a reason. My brother Eugene Davis was… murdered in Japan, I came from England to find his body and to put him to rest" Naru says bluntly with a frown. Her eyes widened at his words. Did she just hear the words 'murdered' and 'Eugene Davis' in the same sentence? She was slightly shocked. "Eugene Davis? Wait you're… Oliver Davis."
Kuro bluntly spoke. She then opened her mouth once more "You said he was murdered if you were in England at the time of the murder how do you know he was dead. Better yet how do you know that he died in Japan?"
She questioned Kazuya with a semi-surprised expression. Kurobara already knew that he was from England from hints and confirmation from Naru. But she didn't think that he was 'The Oliver Davis'. He was famous due to his books and profound knowledge. Her family told had told her about him. They forced her to read his books.
"Yes, I am… Oliver Davis. I am not a medium but I do have a Type of ESP. I am a Psychometrist." He replied looking a little lost in himself. "I had a vision where I experienced his death." Naru later added. Kuro winced at his wording. He experienced it? That is horrible if so.
Kurobara felt guilt consume her mind, feeling bad. Bad about bringing up his brother in casual conversation. She had no idea… looking downward at her lap before looking back upwards. Gazing into his eyes. "Experienced? Not just saw. So… you"
Naru closed his beautiful eyes for a moment "yes I experienced it" He calmly replied, Kurobara was horrified on his behalf. There was an ominous silence developing around them.
How could he be so calm about this?
She decided to cut the unbearable silence "How… did it happen… Only if you're comfortable" His mouth creased into a frown, glancing at Kuro's face. A sad expression was all it took to make his heartache. He went quiet, eyes following her. Watching her.
"He was about halfway through his trip around Japan." Naru answered. "When I borrowed one of his shirts, I unexpectedly saw it. First, I saw a mountain in the middle of an afternoon and a road. Walking down the road, I heard a car start to approach. When I turned around, the car made a turn and came straight at me. There was an impact, and I fell. A person walked out of the car. It was a woman. I could only see from her knees down, though. She looked confused, screamed, and went back to the car. Then I heard the sound of the car again, and it started approaching…"
Kurobara couldn't help but to feel sick to her stomach. Hearing this made her feel nauseous, it was really horrible, hearing this from Him. She had no idea how much suffering was laced into his cold exterior. No wonder he wore black all the time, he was in a process of grieving. It's even worse to think that they haven't been able to locate his body and place him to rest.
Kurobara wanted so desperately to just hug him, she had considered him a close friend and someone close to her heart despite not knowing him long. He paused seeing Kuro's face. Maybe he should stop? He hated seeing those pain-filled eyes that crossed her irises. His heart ached, seeing the way her face morphed in sorrow.
Suddenly Kurobara stood up with her fringe covering up her eyes. Naru was surprised "what are you…" She ignored his words and went around his desk and suddenly grabbed him. She gripped him into a Hug. A soft embrace. Naru flinched at her grip, he was not used to physical contact from other people. He had a faint red coating his cheeks.
"Kurobara what are you doing?" He said with a tight voice, she shook her head softly and kept her grip on him despite her back aching at the angle of her embrace. "Oliver…" Kurobara muttered pulling him closer to her body. Hearing his name from her lips caused a spark to light in him. He liked the way she had said his name.
"Hmm?" he hummed out softly slightly distracted by her scent. Kurobara pulled out of her embrace slightly letting him see her unique eyes she was graced with "I'm sorry, for mentioning your brother I had no idea…" she spoke so softly but with so much sorrow that it cracked his cold hear. "I do not need your pity Kuro" He spoke in his infamous cold tone.
Seriously? He thought that she was pitying him? She wasn't the type of person to do such a thing. Sympathy yes but pity no.
Kurobara glared at him slightly "I am not pitying you, I am showing you sympathy, you Idiot." She says while sighing out loud, Naru gave her a small glare at hearing the word 'Idiot' "Did you just call me an Idiot?" He stated with an eyebrow arched. Kurobara just sniggered at that "Yes, Yes I did" She stated proudly.
He sighed softly "I should continue with my story." When she heard this her frown came back on her face. Kuro didn't want to stop hugging him, he felt so warm but she decides to head back to her seat so she could concentrate on what he was going to say. "As I was saying… a green explosion happened in the vision. It's usual for when the body dies. He was dragged on the ground, put into the trunk, wrapped up in a yellow sheet, and thrown off a boat into a lake."
She nodded tenderly "Explains why you go on long trips on cases," she remarked ever so softly. He nodded at that, as she crossed her arms seemingly in thought. "Was the… women arrested?" Kuro asked cautiously, hoping by some miracle that she was, but she had a vague idea that she wasn't. He shook his head slightly "No she was not. The main thing I want to focus on is getting Gene's body."
"Yes, of course, but don't you want to find the perpetrator who killed your brother?" She asked softly. Even though she hadn't known Gene she felt anger towards the women who did such a crime, Naru deserved justice for his brother.
"I do… But she is long gone and as I said before she threw Gene's body in the lake. Any evidence he had on him before would be washed away. Therefore we will not be able to find the women responsible." Naru had a point, it would be increasingly difficult to find Evidence on his body. It pissed her off however, that bitch was going get away with it. It irked her to no end "Damn it…" She muttered angrily.
She couldn't help but slam her hands on the desk "That bitch will get away with murder. We need to do something." She bit her cheek when she said this.
Kurobara was fuming she knew it wasn't his fault but the fact of the matter was that she was going to get away with it. She wanted to help him find justice but she didn't know how to help him. The cup on the desk started to shake slightly at Kuro's anger. Naru breathed out loud "Calm down Kurobara. There is no need to get so angry"
She heard him speak in his natural language and blinked, slowly calming down by his words alone. Kuro took a deep breath causing the cup of tea to stop shaking, softly she looked upwards to Naru "I understand it now…" she spoke while giving him a sad smile. "Understand what?" Naru asked.
"I understand why you hid your identity and changed your name. It would have been worse if this was public and on the media. It would cause an outroar by the populace, Your pretty famous so it isn't surprising if they did. It would be dangerous for you as well, if your face was on the media right now she might target you to keep your mouth shut. Why didn't you bring someone here with you to help with your investigation?"
Kurobara told him with a sigh "Why do you think Lin Koujo is here Kuro? He is here to protect me as a bodyguard by my father. Also, I am the only one who could tell what Lake Gene is in, I do not know where it's exact location, however." Naru tells her with a calm expression.
"Japan has a lot of lakes… It's going to take a long time to find the lake you are looking for Oliver." She said this dryly, it might take years to find the lake he is looking for. Naru rolled his eyes slightly at her comment "Yes, I know. I'm not stupid like someone…" Kuro rolled her eyes at his grouchy statement.
"Better not be talking about me, Oliver. "
"What if I was Kurobara? What are you going to do about it?" He asked crossing his arms with an amused expression on his face.
"Oh, I don't know?" Kurobara says with a small mischievous smile, she placed her arms on the desk bending down to his level with a sly smirk "But what I know is if you keep up that attitude I will do something that you may not like"
Kazuya raised his eyebrow at that, his mouth twitched upwards. Almost smiling at her. "Oh, I doubt that very much Kurobara. I think I might enjoy it." She shook her head at that and moved out of the way. Kazuya glanced at her and sighed softly.
"Kurobara Will you help me find my brother" Naru later stated. Quickly turning around to Naru. Her eyes were expanded in surprised, not expecting him to ask her for help. Kuro's mouth twitched into a smirk. "Who would have thought that Naru the Narcissist was capable of asking for help." She teased chuckling softly.
He rolled his eyes at her childish words and articulated his cold eyes on her form "Don't make me ask again Kurobara… Well what is your answer is that a yes or no"
Kurobara sighed at his sudden grumpiness "I don't have a choice anyways the only reason you decided to tell me was that you wanted some help am I right Oliver?" she remarked crossing her arms while watching his expressions. Naru smirked for a moment before replying "Glad you see that. Do not under any circumstance tell anyone. Only Lin, you and I can talk about this. Got it? If I hear a small peep out of your-"
"Yes, Yes I got it. Not to say a word about any of this or I'll get fired or some Bullshit. I am curious does this mean I can call you Oliver from now on in private" she asks wondering. Wondering if she was allowed to call him Oliver when they were alone. Kazuya coldly stares at her "You can call me what you want in private just don't call me Oliver in front of the others" he proclaimed in his natural cold tone of his.
"Oh, Anything? So I can call you Olly boy?" After she said this Naru flinched slightly at the name "Don't call me that-" he was interrupted as soon as he spoke those words "Olly boy it is then." She said with a chuckle "Well I am going to go home now, I promise to keep your secret"
Before she could back away to her home, Kazuya opened his mouth "Don't think I have forgotten Kuro. You're also hiding something from me." She paused and flinched softly, she knew what he was talking about. "I have no idea what you're talking about" She commented, trying her best to stay calm.
His cold eyes bore into her back, making her shiver. She didn't dare to turn herself around, She wasn't scared of him but she was scared of her him seeing her expression. "Really? I can't help but think that you are lying. You lied about not being a medium of some kind. Do you really think I am easily fooled? You think I don't notice when you flinch when your family is uttered in conservations"
Kurobara's eyes tighten at that. She really didn't want to go into this conversation at this moment. She was trying her best to forget not to have it brought up. Especially when her family is concerned "So I ask again what are you hiding? Enlighten me"
She shook her head slightly, biting her fleshy lips. Naru had suffered a lot and was able to tell her about his situation. Maybe she should say something, to ease him a bit. But she also wanted to keep it to herself. Not because she was selfish but because she couldn't speak about it without trembling at the mere thought.
She was pathetic.
Forcing herself to look at him, she gave a mixed expression. Between calmness and Sadness. "Look, Oliver. Yes, I have by your words 'hiding' something but I really do not feel comfortable going in specifics on my secrets and my past. I'll tell you when I am ready and only then will I say anything regarding my past. I've been through rough patches throughout my life and I do not want to open my wounds back up yet I am not ready."
Kurobara paused looking down at herself " One day, I will tell you, I promise you. I don't go back on my words" After she told him that she walked out leaving him to his own devices and headed home.
(Timeskip)
After 30 minutes or so she had headed back to her nice house, she couldn't wait to go into a nice bath and to get rid of all the stressful feelings she had felt earlier. As she crept closer to her house she saw a figure in front of her house. A familiar figure that she hadn't seen for years.
A black haired guy with glasses looked up from his phone and saw Kurobara standing there with slight shock. His lips formed a soft smile "Hello my dear friend It's been awhile" she shivered slightly as the wind picked up.
"Alan… Is that you?
Author note:
Hello, it's Kiralawliet back again to give you another chapter, I know I am back from the dead and the confinements of my Procrastinating mind. How has everyone been by the way? I hope you guys had a good Easter.
Sorry, this was updated so late, Truthyly my motivation to write for this story dropped due to my depressive episodes I experience. But I feel a little better and was ready to begin writing again for this story. My writing has gotten a little rusty so I am sorry in advance for spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes, etc.
I've also got into a couple of new things. I rekindle my love for Hunter X Hunter and I also am now a big fan of Detroit: Become Human. Which is fucking amazing guys, I have fallen in love with Connor so badly.
Anyways back on the subject, I hope this chapter isn't too boring for you and I was confused about what I should do. Should Naru tell her about his identity or not but I decided Naru to tell my character about his grief he is dealing with. It's great to be back though so thank you for being patient and waiting for the next chapter.
I am now obsessed with 4 things.
Kazuya Shibuya/Oliver Davis
Connor Rk800
Kurapika Kurta
And L Lawliet.
I am going to hell one day XD. Anyways thank you for following me and reading my story. Also when the writing is bold when a character is speaking it means they speaking in English hope that helps.
EDIT:
Holy shiz I finally remade this mess of a chapter, sorry for all the mistakes. I added a couple of new things as a small gift of some kind. My sister let me use her laptop for a bit so I was able to write a little.
My Laptop is still as dead as me XD so going to have to wait for a while to be fixed anyways. I hoped you enjoyed the added bits, some casual flirting. (If you can call it that) changed some things.
Anywho, Thank you
(Crying because of my laptop. RIP Laptop2019)
