Chapter 3
When Shinichi finally reached the mansion, he made sure to instruct his men to bring one of his trusted doctors and nurses to help the injured man he found, his mind running around in circles, the blond man limbed beside him, trying to keep up with him in hope of reaching his son, once he saw his waiting son, the father and his pup hugged each other tightly crying on each other's shoulders, the blond Alpha had refused to let go of his son even when the two of them were taken to see the doctors that Shinichi brought, the dark-haired Alpha left them in their own room hoping that the two of them will be able to get the comfort they both needed.
The injured man Shinichi brought with him was also treated; half of the doctors were wincing and murmuring about barbaric tortures and heartless monsters every time they stopped to treat a new injury they reached, it made Shinichi a little bit twitchy because the man's face after the nurses cleaned him up good looked familiar like he saw him somewhere…
His mother and sister were as always concern, it was usually the situation every time Shinichi went on a mission, but the two of them were happy that Shinichi was able to get out of the firefight he got himself in, without a scratch, like breaking his leg for the tenth time, or fracturing his arm, or getting his ass shot at, or anything that made his mother flip his shit and try to strangle him, he was thankful that he wouldn't hear his mother's lecture about taking care of himself once more.
A few days later the father and the son left the Shirosaki's mansion with the son promising that he will repay the debt one day, not knowing that the poor father had pleaded with Shinichi about being the one who will be responsible for the unpaid debt, Shinichi was finally happy to get rid of another headache and continue one with searching for the missing Pandora that will get him closer and closer toward his mate.
Still to this day, the mysterious guest that Shinichi brought with him didn't wake up, the doctors said that it was normal considering that the man was severally injured and tortured, not to forget the starvation that he went through, it made Shinichi sigh half of the times and continued on hoping that the man was going to wake up any minute now.
But that didn't matter because after two weeks of him bringing the man into his home, he found that a rare diamond from the Middle East was being brought here to be shown in Haido's museum, thankfully Shinichi and his family lived in Haido so going to steal the gem was easy.
The day comes and as always Shinichi was in and out before anyone realized that the gem disappeared, Shinichi thought quietly to himself about what that Kaitou Kid was going to do considering that the elusive thief was planning to steal the gem in three days from now. Kaitou Kid, an international Jewels thief that no one, not even the criminal underground knows his true identity, with his strange publicity of 'No One Gets Hurt' and his protective nature of his audience, the underground doesn't even considered him a real criminal, especially because he always returns what he stole, though because of his amazing skills, and not being caught by the police for decades, he was considered the third in the list of the underground coming right up after the Phantom Lady and the Shinigami. Shinichi can admit to himself that he was a little disappointed that he didn't see the thief, but deep down he wonders if the thief will realize what the Shinigami had done and came to challenge him, the blood in Shinichi's body warmed at the thought of being face to face with the elusive phantom that made the world stand on its toes.
When Shinichi returned home his mother was looking at him with worry yet unimpressed look, the man already knows about this Pandora that Shinichi had been searching his ass off to find, as much as Aaron hated the idea of his son putting himself in danger just to find some gem that probably doesn't exist, he knows that this was the only way for his son to find some closure, he just hoped that his son wouldn't throw himself in a situation that he couldn't get out of in the end.
"Is it what you are looking for?" Aaron asked as he put the book he was pretending to read down, looking at his son in his full getup, wondering when the Alpha will stop with his dangerous job.
"I don't know, hopefully though, the gem has all of Pandora's descriptions down to the T." Shinichi asked with an amused quirk of lips, which made Aaron smile a little then his small smile fell as he looked at his son with a serious look.
"Be careful Shinichi, finding the right gem or not, you better be prepared for the consequences that will follow, especially the important question, of how are you going to find that elusive mate of yours." Aaron said seriously but gently at the same time, trying to remind the Alpha that there were the different possibilities from the death of the person that Shinichi was looking for to the Omega moving on and finding another mate, there were different scenarios and Shinichi was not a God to be able to predict or change everything… Aaron desperately hopes that when the time comes, his son wouldn't get his already fractured heartbroken by some Omega or worse do what his father did if he found the Omega mated.
Shinichi wets his lips at that when his mother's unsaid words reached him and he tried to smile, walking to his mother to kiss his forehead before heading to his office. "Don't worry Okaa-Sama; I know what I am doing." Shinichi said as he rushed to his office his mother's words hunting him. Aaron saw the Alpha leave with a frown on his face, looking at the book before taking it with a sigh and heading to his bedroom in hope of finishing it this time for real.
He hoped that the Alpha knew what he was talking about…
The diamond was not Pandora, deep down Shinichi had known that but for some reason, he refused to believe, and now, now he felt anger and pain, not even music helped him calm down or lose himself in the memories, so Shinichi took to walking around the mansion to calm himself from the anger that was rising inside of him.
He doesn't know why but Shinichi's legs end up taking him to the injured man's room, he should have left, he shouldn't have opened the door and walked inside looking at the comatose man, he should turn around and leave and never think about this day, but something was pulling Shinichi inside, maybe it was the disappointment, maybe it was the feeling that he failed the task of finding his mate again, but it ends with Shinichi closing the door and walking to the chair beside the bed, and after a few seconds of pausing he sat on the chair looking at the man.
The man was an Alpha, that's what his doctors told him after they done with their tests, the man emits no scent, probably because of the torture and starvation that made his inner Alpha back away in the farthest corner of his mind, he was beaten, starved, tortured, and Shinichi had suspected that rape was thrown in the equation too, but thankfully his doctors informed him that nothing of that kind happened. Some of the nurses that Shinichi brought had cleaned the man well, shaved his beard and cut his long and tangled hair, which was good, because now Shinichi was able to get a good look at the man, who seemed to be in his early fifties though no older than fifty-two, there was something about him that screamed at Shinichi, probably saw him someplace before losing his memories, which meant that man was a lead, and because of that Shinichi will make sure that this man wouldn't leave his sight, even if he had anything to say about it.
Promise… an echo of a voice made the hair on Shinichi's body stand on its ends, and he contains his gasp at the broken tone to that voice, Shinichi took a deep breath and tried to relax his body as much as he can, he discovered a long time ago that the tension usually suppressed his memories away, so being relaxed usually helped.
Promise….
Promise…
Promise…
His mate was shot, Shinichi couldn't believe it, and he refused to believe that his mate was shot. It wasn't because of those bastards in the black organization, no, it wasn't during one of his shows; no… it was because of Shinichi…. The two of them had been walking home, and his love was telling him about this Pandora… for a moment the two of them were walking down the streets, and a moment later Shinichi was pushed by his mate as they heard a gunshot, Shinichi was left on the floor in shock, as his eyes turned to his mate that was lying face down, the screams could be heard all around the place, and Shinichi remembered screaming and rushing toward his gasping mate who was whining in pain before he reached his mate Shinichi throw a look at the person who was responsible for this only to see a female, who ran as soon as Shinichi's eyes fell on her.
There was so much chaos after this, screaming, crying, the ambulance coming, and Shinichi pleading with them to let him inside with his mate. Shinichi didn't know how much time had passed since they reached the hospital since they took his mate to the surgery since the nurses came toward him with a cup of coffee and nice words trying to calm him down since the inspector of Tokyo's police came to take his statement putting his hand on Shinichi's shoulder in comfort. But Shinichi knew that it was a long time in the end the doctor came to tell him that his mate was in a coma, and Shinichi was crushed, he was shaken, he was…
Do you know why the Night Baron became a criminal?
Shinichi paused remembering a day in the past when he was asked that question, who asked him that question? He thought as he tried to get a grip on himself through the fog that was his mind, who? Shinichi's breath hitches at that, why did the Baron become criminal? Stealing, killing, and doing much worse things in the shadows, why? Shinichi turned to his deathly pale mate as he laid on the big hospital bed looking so small… he knew why.
Finding the woman was easy, as Shinichi remembered her. He was the detective that was responsible for solving the case she was involved in, her husband was a drug addict, and it ends with him killing an innocent pregnant Omega for money to buy drugs when he was sent to the prison… you can say that in the prison hierarchy, his kind, the ones who hurt Omegas were punished… he died a month later, and it seemed that the woman decided to take her revenge on Shinichi by taking the thing he treasured the most… she was madly wrong if she thought he will let her get away with hurting his mate…
Finding her was easy, restraining her was even easier, and taking her to a warehouse to teach her a lesson was a piece of cake, after all, who will ever suspect of him? If someone saw him here, they will mostly think that he was doing an undercover job, trying to lessen the hurt of his mate being in a coma and not waking up after two weeks.
When the woman opened her eyes and looked at him she was shaken, she was scared, and she begged him to let her go, that she was sorry, that she will bring herself in… fat chance. Shinichi made sure to teach her where she belongs, for as long as he remembered, Shinichi knew every kind of torture there was, it comes with his job of being a police detective. The Beta had screamed, her screams turn into curses, turned into threats, which turns into pleas and whimpers, and lately choked sounds after Shinichi cut her tongue.
Shinichi made sure that her death was slow and painful one, and when he was done, he made sure to clean everything that will incriminate him, made sure that every lead the police were going to follow will lead to a gang or the Yakuza, but never Shinichi or his mate. 'The Perfect Murder' that's what the polices called it when they talked with each other, but Shinichi didn't care about what they were going to say, he only cared about his mate that was still in coma for the third week in row, and who will suspect him, when Shinichi never left his mate's side unless it was necessary?
"…I promise that I will protect you, I promise that I will never leave your side…" Entering the fourth week was hell for Shinichi as his mate didn't show any sign of waking up, it ends up with Shinichi holding into his mate's hand tightly and make a wish, make promises that Shinichi hoped his love will hear and wake up. "…I promise I will never get angry at your doves for pooping on my things, I promise I will stop my stupid threat of buying a cat… I promise I will never allow your friend to bring any fish in our home, I promise… I promise I will stop being a detective." Shinichi whispered, and he promised to be true to all of his promises, especially the detective one, because at the end of the day, it was his fault that his mate was laying here, it was his fault that his mate was in pain.
Shinichi felt his mate tightening his hand and he looked up to see his mate trying to smile at him. "Don't… make a promise you can't keep." His love whispered which made Shinichi choke on his breath and raise his mate's hand to kiss it.
"You are awake…" Shinichi said in a shaky voice, and he could only see that gentle smile his mate always give, but this time he wasn't sad about not seeing his mate's face, this time he was grateful for being able to see his lovely smile.
"I was awake since the stupid cat promise… I just wanted to know what more can I get, if a pretended to sleep." His mate joked cheerfully which caused Shinichi to laugh at that and shake his head, heart pounding in his chest with happiness, his mate was finally awake and was his usual happy self again.
They spent the day holding onto each other, talking, laughing, sharing stories, and Shinichi made sure to hold his mate in his embrace tightly and never let go, which made his love purr in happiness and snuggle into his chest, as Shinichi told his mate about what took a place in the last few weeks that his mate slept through.
When Shinichi went out to bring some drinks to his mate the doctors stopped him looking at him with grime face, and then Shinichi was told the painful truth. "…I am sorry sir… but your mate can never have children again… the bullet was shot from close proximity which caused severe damage to the womb… if you want we have an Omega nurse that can tell your mate about the news." The doctor said and Shinichi felt that the earth start spinning faster and faster that Shinichi wonders if he could stop himself from falling.
"No… no, I… I will tell him…." Shinichi remembered choking out, hating the sympathetic look on the doctor's face as he nods his head to Shinichi and went to check on another patient, Shinichi remembered walking like the dead to his mate's room opening the door to look at his love who was playing with one of the doves that flow through the opened window.
"Shinichi…?" The smile on his mate's face fell as he saw Shinichi's tear-stained face, he remembered that he was the one who cried his eyes out as he told his mate the truth, knowing that if Shinichi hide the truth from his mate and the Omega found the truth later he will be so angry and mad, he remembered his mate's lips wobbling a little, and how despite all of that his mate just gave him a small smile and start petting his head. "It's OK, Shinichi, everything will be OK…" The Omega whispered to him as Shinichi laid his head on the Omega's thighs, closing his eyes tightly…
Why the Night Baron did become a criminal?
Why did…?
Why?
Why?
"…Kaito…?" A whispered was heard which made Shinichi blink and look at the sleeping man who was looking at him with tired indigo eyes, Shinichi just tilts his head to the side when the man let out a choked gasp as he tried to look around frantically but Shinichi put his hands on the man's shoulders and pushed him gently to the bed.
"It's OK, you are safe." Shinichi said which made the man look at him with a strange look in his eyes, blinking his eyes as he looked around the place with a sedated pace that he realized that he was saved.
"The organization…?" The man asked with a raspy voice which made Shinichi look at the glass of water on the nightstand, he took it and removed the led, putting the glass near the man's lips watching as he drank the water like a man out of the desert.
"Dead…" Shinichi answered after the man finished putting the glass away, it made the man look at him for a long time, his brow furrowed like he was thinking.
"You are not Kaito, are you?" The man asked which caused Shinichi to pause and shook his head at that making the man sigh and look at the ceiling. "Where am I?" He asked which made Shinichi's lips twitch up in amusement at the poker face the man was trying to use.
"You are in the Shirosaki family's compound, and I am Shirosaki Shinichi, the head of the family." Shinichi answered which made the man's eyes widen a little and then he regains himself and looked at Shinichi with suspicion. "Don't worry; you are free to go… after you tell me everything I need to know…" Shinichi said as he stood up and went to the door calling one of his men to bring the doctors…
When did he become a criminal…?
So what do you think?
By the way, Kaitou Kid and the Shinigami haven't meet officially one way or another, other than hearing about each other from fellow informants, the gem that Shinichi stole was one of the gems Kid was after, but Shinichi beats him up too it.
