Generations:
Chapter Twenty-Seven:
Glowering, Tatsuha sulked as he and K walked into the hospital, sending scathing looks at the American every few steps.
"Why couldn't you let me kill him? He deserved it, you know."
"Doesn't matter, Seguchi-san ordered me not to let you do anything too rash, and killing that bastard would be. Of course I think the boss just wants to make Aizawa's life a living hell first."
"I just hope he lets me do the honors after he's done torturing that prick."
"Yes, well…." K glanced ahead as they walked, falling silent as he caught sight of someone up ahead. For a moment he stared before stepping up to him, speaking in English. "Michael, you're supposed to be guarding Kessuke." He grabbed his son's arm, noticing then the bandage on the younger blond's wrist.
"Hello dad."
"What happened to your wrist, Michael? Did someone attack…."
"Kessuke happened to my wrist." Michael grimaced and glanced at his wrist before facing his father's questioning expression. "He had a nightmare or somethin' and I tried comforting him and he ended up doing this to me." The younger blond pointed to his wrist, fighting back the urge to chuckle wryly.
"…um…I didn't think Ryuu's son would be that strong…."
"It's probably 'cause that Aizawa-prick beat him." Tatsuha's voice and words surprised both of them.
"Tatsuha, I didn't know you could speak English." K stared at the younger man, too surprised to switch to Japanese as he said it.
"I've been in college for the past six years—English was one of the courses I took that I actually attended." Tatsuha said in English. "Actually it was the only course I attended on a regular basis—the only skill that could be useful to realize my goal of stalking Saku—" One look from the tall blond silenced Tatsuha mid-sentence. "Okay, nearly forgot what you do to his stalkers…please forget I said anything…."
"Yes, be quiet and we'll see." Turning back to Michael, "So Ryuu's son broke your wrist, why didn't you go back to his room after you got that bandaged?"
"Well I did, but I guess something happened while I was gone, 'cause nurses and doctors were working on Kessuke and wouldn't let anyone back in the room. Then Seguchi-san told me to come down here and wait for you to show up."
"Something happened to Kessuke? What? What happened?" Tatsuha rushed to Michael's side, this time speaking in Japanese.
"I don't know. Seguchi-san just sent me down to wait for you two. He didn't say anything about what happened."
"Okay then, enough talking, let's go find Seguchi and find out what happened to Kessuke."

"Tohma…." Ryuu glared at the blond, waiting for an answer.
"I…." Tohma glanced into those cobalt eyes and sighed, closing his eyes briefly. "Yes, Kess did try before to….about a year ago he swallowed a bottle of pills, and I….I found him just as he fell unconscious….bruises all over his body."
Ryuu's eyes widened with each word Tohma uttered. "Why…why didn't you tell me? I…if you told me I…if I knew sooner Ta-chi wasn't keeping his promise not to hurt Kess…." The ex-singer's voice cut off as new tears filled his eyes and a sob escaped his throat.
"…That's my mistake, I thought you really liked Aizawa, and I didn't want to interfere…." The blond sighed, looking wistfully at the wall. "If I knew Aizawa was using threats to keep you with him, I would've got rid of him long ago."
Silence passed between them for a few moments, tears falling down Ryuu's cheeks and Tohma's eyes filling up with tears he struggled not to let fall—he had to be strong for Ryuu.
"Seguchi…Sakuma-san!"
A/N: End chapter—please review.
I've decided that I'm gonna try to end this part around chapter thirty and then start a second part of this fic. So that will be around three more chapters to this part, then on to part two.
Anyway, sorry about not updating as much as I usually do over the past few days—I've been busy reading fanfics and trying to get my muse to work again—my muse is on strike, so I have to really try to write when I write my fanfics, and I've been getting distracted easily lately.
I've just discovered the Gravitation Ex manga and have been reading it the past few days (Thank you Snow Pepper for telling me about it). I can't get enough of looking at it—especially all the scenes with Ryuu. Ryuu-sama is my favorite character, even more than Yuki. (Just so you know, the more I like a character the more I have them get hurt and stuff in my fanfics—I'm definitely a sadist, but what I write in my fics is nothing compared to what goes on in my head.)
More random info: The one reason I like Yuki is that he and I share a very similar personality—we're both cold, distant and very reluctant and unable to express feelings for others. Also, we're both Pisces. That's how I act most of the time.
On rare occasions, most recently when I'm by myself, I actually act like Ryuu—alternating between his hyper, happy-go-lucky self and his serious, cool self. And as of recently this part of my personality has been pushing my Yuki-persona away—and any space left over from my Ryuu-persona has been filled with my Karasu(YuYuHakusho) persona.
Okay, this author note is very long, gotta end it—well, please review.
