Corn and I walked off towards the Garage base, through the entrance at Chou Street. The Doctor and Aric took Beat into the TARDIS, and everyone else either went home, or followed us into the base. We all separated and went into our own rooms. Corn pulled me into a deep embrace, and we fell onto the bed, smiling. It had been so long since I last laid with him, so I wanted to enjoy it. As we laid in our faint blue room, lights low while we laid on our king size bed, our hands locked with one another. I smiled up at him, and he down at me. He kissed my head, and I closed my eyes.
We snuggled like that for a few minutes, until Corn yawned. I smiled, and moved away. He tossed off his GG uniform and crawled under the covers, me following in pursuit. We fell asleep in each other's embrace.
When the sunlight came into the room, my eyes slowly opened. I slept fine, no dreams, no nightmares; just peace. I slowly sat up, looking out the window, a smile on my face. I could see the TARDIS outside, it's light glowing, and saw Beat and Aric walk out. Their hands were intertwined, and the Doctor looked horrified at the sight. I couldn't help but chuckle, and climbed out of bed. I began to get dressed, lacing up my skates, as I felt Corn shift. He was waking up, and I smiled as he sat up, rubbing his eyes.
"Yo...?" he was mumbling, looking on the bed for me. I smiled, and gave him a soft kiss on the cheek before heading out to the Garage Park. He soon followed me, half dressed, and half awake. I pulled Corn's phone out of his pocket, and checked the call log, seeing an unfamiliar number. He rubbed his eyes again then nodded. "That was the guy that called me...the one that wants to see you today." I frowned, then called the number.
It rang a few times, and I began to feel impatient. The moment I sat down, was the moment I heard a voice on the other line. A little girl. "Hello?" she asked, and I blinked. "Uh-uhm...hello. I was calling to find the man that wanted to see me today...d-do you know where he might be?" I tugged on my shirt collar, for some reason not trusting the little girl. I heard her giggle, then drop the phone. Silence. I sat there with the phone by my ear as Corn left. I was still waiting when he arrived with coffee for us both, and I heard the phone get picked up.
"Hello Yohan." came a man's voice, and I tensed up. I pulled it away, hissing to Corn, "It's fucking Hayashi!", and gulping as I pressed the phone back to my ear. "Hay-Hayashi...hello..." He chuckled, and I heard a gun click. I jumped to my feet, screaming, "You fucking bastard, do you want to see me just to fucking shoot me?!" He laughed, and was saying no. "I wanted to offer my friendship."
I was fuming. My free hand was balled into a fist, and Corn was staring at me in shock. "You're offering FRIENDSHIP?! After you tried to kill me, after you imprisoned me, after you TRIED TO DESTROY US; YOU WANT FUCKING FRIENDSHIP?!" I was screaming into the phone, and Corn skated back a bit. Hayashi sighed, and I heard him set the gun down. "I don't think we have anyTHING worth discussing!" "JUST HEAR ME OUT!" Hayashi screamed.
I froze; staring at the ground, yet seeing nothing but my hatred for the ex-cop. Hayashi took a deep, angry breath, before he spoke again. "I know I've caused problems for your little Rudie gang, but believe me when I say I won't cause harm to you again. Instead, I'd like your help...the man that took over my position, the young Rokakku man..." I was tense again; eyes wide. Corn finally handed me my coffee, helping me sip it. I cleared my throat after swallowing, and a growl still escaped. "He's after his family. I found this out by accident; I found a note that was at your apartment five days ago. I went to go arrest you, but after seeing the note, I don't think you're my enemy, or ever really were." I heard a lighter click on the other end, and heard him take a drag of a cigarette. "It says, 'Yohan, you are the only one that's worth more dead than alive. Hiding among the GG's like a rat among cats. How long until they see you for who you really are? Your anger, your ability to lie, your knowledge...how long until they understand that Yoyo is, indeed, Yohan Rokakku?' There's more, but it's mainly secrets I suppose he wanted to release about you...I refused to read futher, after seeing the word 'rape'-" "SHUT UP!" I screeched. There was now tears in my eyes and down my face; the coffee falling out of my hand. "JUST SHUT UP!"
Corn quickly grabbed me as the GG's were rushing towards the scene. I was sobbing, and I heard Hayashi stammer on the other end. He sounded genuinely concerned, and Corn started rubbing my back. "You burn that note...please, just fucking burn it...I don't want...to remember..." I was crying, and I heard the lighter click again, before listening to something large crackle. I felt everything in me turn to stone, and I sobbed harder. I heard Hayashi start apologizing, and he suggested treating me out to lunch. "Sure...fine...please...just shut up..." I heard him hang up after telling me when and where, and I threw the phone as far as I could. I never heard it land, and knew either Death or Corn caught it. I continued to hug my knees, sobbing.
"Everyone, leave him alone." Corn said a few hours later. I was still sitting on the couch; eyes dried. My face felt like shit, and so did my body. "In an hour, Yoyo-erm...Rok...is going out. Aric, I want you to stay by his side. I would suggest Death going, since he's immortal, but I think you have a better chance of protecting him. And you do need to work on your grinding skills." Corn was looking at Aric, who nodded. "What are we going out to do?" he asked, and I sighed. "We're meeting up with someone for lunch." Corn replied for me. I nodded, and Aric frowned.
I walked into Corn's room, where I changed into my GG's outfit, put on a green wig, then my red glasses. I sighed as I tugged on the blue shirt, looking towards Aric. He was wearing purple shorts that went past his knees, bandages on his wrists and left knee. He had a white half-shirt on his chest which bulged a bit, and a sword attached to his right side. His hair was slicked back, and he wore rimless glasses. He smiled at me, and laced up his midnight blue skates as he was handed a satchel, which he put on his left side. Standing, he bowed to me and the Doctor handed him the same tool he has. I stared at it with confusion, and Aric giggled. "Kingsman at your service! Also...this is the sonic screwdriver." Aric winked as he held it near his face. He opened his bag and pulled out a dark green shirt and put it on; it's bagginess hiding his slight bulge of a chest. I couldn't help but blink, and Death skated over towards us. He gave Aric a soft kiss on the cheek and looked towards me. "You two be safe. If there's any trouble, I'll know about it." I nodded, and Aric gave me a confused look. I began to skate off, and Aric followed me.
"So who are we meeting?" Aric asked, catching up to me. I just stared ahead of me and glanced to him. "Copy my movements." I jumped onto a rail, and Aric jumped on behind me. I moved my right foot ahead slightly, creating sparks as I grinded on the rail, Aric copying while giggling. I jumped off the rail and did a flip in the air as I skated towards a restaurant. Aric copied, but instead of one flip, grinded off a billboard and landing beside me as I stopped. I smirked and he seemed freaked out. I laughed and patted his back as I heard someone clear their throat behind me. We turned around and Hayashi was frowning at me. My good mood faded.
"You could have dressed like a human," Hayashi commented, pressing his fingers to his forehead. "If your brother is after you, perhaps dressing as a GG is the worst idea..." I glanced off to the side and folded my arms across my chest as Aric looked at me, then Hayashi. "If you want me to change, I can go into the bathroom. I'm not a GG anymore; I just figured you'd recognize me if I wore my old outfit." Hayashi nodded at my response, then looked at Aric, bowing.
"I'm Hayashi, former captain of the Rokakku police. You must be a new Rudie. Are you...Yoyo's replacement?" he asked, and Aric blinked. "Call me Kingsman...and I'm no one's replacement but my own." He grinned at his words; Hayashi and I blinking with confusion at him. Hayashi sighed, and then looked at us both. "I'm afraid there's a no skate policy in effect here. Now, shall we enter?" Hayashi held open the door for us, and we entered. Aric and I paused at the doors to remove our skates, and while Hayashi had his back turned, I took off my wig and shirt; revealing my Rok outfit. He turned to us and I smirked, Hayashi blinking. He shook his head and walked to the desk, where a waitress came out and asked for us to follow her.
Once we were seated, Hayashi turned to me, staring at me. I could see his old twitchiness was still there; he was fidgeting uncomfortably. So I leaned on the table and smirked at him, his eyes staring at me. Aric sighed and hit his head on the table. "Are you two going to keep this up? If this was the man we were to meet, then shouldn't he be acting like it?" Aric groaned, and Hayashi blinked, glancing at Aric. "You sound like a woman."
Aric stood up angrily; gripping the table. His eyes were shooting daggers at Hayashi, who panicked and nearly pissed his pants. I quickly pulled Aric back down and whispered to him to calm down. Hayashi was panting; gripping his chest. I glanced at Hayashi, and smiled. "So don't call the boy a "she", or anything related to that, 'kay? And I won't hurt you. Now, you wanted to meet up." I was staring at Hayashi, who nodded. "Yes...I wanted to meet up." I folded my arms across my chest and stared at him. "Spit it out."
"As I said, I need your help. Your brother, Trevor...I know that's not him." Hayashi hung his head, then the waitress returned handing us menus before asking us what we wanted to drink. I ordered a coke, Hayashi coffee, and Aric ordered a rye and coke. The waitress paused, and stared at Aric. "May I see some ID?" she asked cutely, and Aric pulled out what looked like a wallet. The waitress looked at it, and her face quickly went red. Aric smiled, as he took it back. She quickly bowed, and rushed off. I raised an eyebrow and Aric looked at the wallet.
"Huh, it says I'm the heir to the Egyptian throne, and that I just turned 23 this year." I blinked, and he showed me the paper. I frowned, and glanced up at him. "You're kidding, right? It's blank." Aric's eyes opened wide, and he showed the paper to Hayashi. "Erm...Yohan, you're wrong. It says he's-" "No, Yohan's right." Aric cut him off. "This is psychic paper, and only people who are incredibly intelligent can see through it..." Aric frowned at me, and I blinked.
"We're off topic." I sighed, and glanced at Hayashi as I opened the menu. "While we order, please finish with why you want our help, and why we should help you." I looked down at the menu, and Aric copied. Hayashi scoffed, and bowed his head over the table. "The man that took over Rokakku Corp isn't Trevor Rokakku. His name is Tachi Wang." I raised my head and frowned at him. "You said it was my brother that was hunting me, and you just said that it wasn't?" Hayashi rubbed his temples. "Both are right. He's made himself believe he is your brother, and he's after whoever murdered Gouji ten years ago." My eyes opened, and then darkened.
Hayashi looked up at me, and then the waitress returned with out drinks. Aric returned the menu, telling her that he wasn't hungry, and I ordered a bacon cheeseburger. Hayashi ordered a large salad and a steak, and she bowed, walking away. Aric turned to Hayashi, a frown on his face. "Look, young man, I don't know how much you think you know about this Tachi, but you're wrong." Aric said, staring at Hayashi, who had blushed. "Yo-young man? Listen kid, I'm over 60 years old-" "And I'm over two hundred. Shut up. Tachi Wang is not Trevor Rokakku, you're right. But he is not human, as well." Aric sat back and sipped his drink. I sipped mine, and looked at Hayashi, who was now really freaked out.
I sighed and reached over to Hayashi, patting his shoulder. "Look, dude; it's best not to ask too many questions...you'll get more confused." Aric grinned at my words, and winked. Hayashi nodded, and leaned back in the seat. "I'm starting to regret this..." he groaned, and I chuckled. "You still need to tell us why we should help you, and what is exactly you need help with." I sat up as the waitress arrived with our food, and took it from her with a bow. Grabbing my burger, I smiled at Hayashi and took a massive bite out of it.
"You see, Tachi took my daughter, Violet, hostage." The name caused me to sit tall, staring at him as I lowered my burger. "Violet...?" Images flashed through my mind, and I grabbed my head with a groan. Aric gasped and held me. I felt like I had found a mental block, and looked up at Hayashi. "Violet...I adopted Violet. She looks...so much like her dad...and now that I see it, so much like her brother..." More images flashed through, and I shook. I tried to eat, tried to drink, but the memories were making me feel sick. I could hear Death cursing in my head, and I looked helplessly up at Hayashi. "Please...tell me...is she who I think she is...?" I asked, and Hayashi nodded. I gasped, and felt my world spin. "No...no no...that can't be..."
Aric rubbed my back as the dizziness faded, and I looked up at Hayashi, who looked sad. "As to why you should help me...well, you remember what it was like being captive...?" I nodded weakly, and Hayashi slowly began to eat. I looked at Aric, who looked so worried and upset, and I swallowed a forming lump before looking back at Hayashi. "We will do it...if it means saving Violet..." I panted, and Hayashi finished his steak. He smiled faintly at me, and bowed. "Thank you, Yohan...and his friend. When you save her, allow her to become a GG. She really wants to be with her family." I nodded, and Aric frowned. "Who is Violet?" he asked.
"Violet...is Rose Rokakku..." I breathed, eyes watering once again as Hayashi looked down at his plate.
