5th chapter up, sorry it took so long. Just gott done moving. We're camping right now, so I have to walk all the way over to the club house for the intronet. But I will try to get the next chapter up soo.
I STILL obviously DON'T own anything but my own characters- Yuna, Soren, Reiketsu, Chatuex, Eclipse, and the woman who got stabbed, I'll tell you her name next chapter. Bit I don't own any Okane Ga Nai, so sorry. I just have fun putting other peoples characters into impossible situations and magically getting them out of them. So yeh. Read on dear readers, read on.
"Her name, Homare, don't make me wait." Kanou said darkly, still in a bad mood about Ayase. So much for taking your mind off one thing, he thought.
Homare sighed, resigned. "Her name is Uta Maria Akatsuki. The Yakuzas' Leaders' woman, and by the looks of things, her Husband has been looking for her since last week."
"Well, now I think that damn doctor has something to do with this...He knows something. He difinately knows something. How else would he know that my mind would really be taken off of Ayase. Misao, Homare." Kanou fumed then called the attention of the two identical twins in front of him.
"Hai?" The both asked in unision. looking at eachother then back at Kanou, their mask of indifference perfected.
"We are to resolve this incident as quietly and as fast as possible. I want none to know this. If you see any reporters, have them sent away. I don't want this public. But before we do any of that, I would like to see her condition." Kanou started giving out orders, and walked into the room.
"Yes shachou." The twins answered in unision. Then Homare took a step forward.
"Uh, Shachou, one more thing. Behind you." He said, pointing.
"Wha-Ah, filthy okama! What are you doing here! Who let you in!" Kanou said surprised as well as annoyed by the presence of his childhood friend.
"Somuku, don't raise your voice in the hospital, much less in a recovering patience room. Though, I'll have to admit, she is sleeping pretty hard. She hasn't even turned over, talked or twitched, even, in her sleep. I do believe her recovery is going pretty smoothly. It will be a couple weeks for the wound to begin to get better. By the way, how is Aya-Chan? Is he recovering yet? Is his health stable? How badly injured was he? Did Gion find you? He went to look for you. I fear he may have gotten lost in this vast campus." Someya whent on and on before stopping. Kanou sighed.
"Ayases' condition is stable. He is injured pretty badly, though...Anyways, Stay away from the girl for now. She's the wife of the current Yakuza leader. It is dangerous to be around her, though if you'd rather stay with her, that is your own neck on the line, so don't come crawling back to me if you get beat up. And, no, Gion didn't find me. Now move aside, I need to see her." Kanou commanded.
"Yes, yes, your majesty." Someya moved aside, exasperated and quite annoyed at Kanous' impudence toward women.
"Don't even go thinking about my impudence towards 'women'. Filthy okama." Kanou guessed. Someyas' nervous laugh could be heard from in the hallway. As he walked over to the bed in the darkened room, his eyes raked up and down the girls' face.
She looked younger, probably 20 or 21. Her eys were shut, the the skin was milky white. Not quite as white a Ayase's but still very white. Her long blonde hair was almost down to her waiste, and it made her look as though she, Yuna, and Ayase were blood siblings. He wondered why blondes were popping up everywhere in Japan.
"I need to make some calls...Homare, make sure nobody disturbs me unless it is an emergency. Or about Ayase." Kanou spoke roughly, displeased that he was going to have to take care of the business that someone decided to dump on him. He swored he would kill whoever injured Ayase. He was also sure that whoever injured this girl was the same person and that they would probably be found dead because of the Yakuza. They were not one to trifle with. Hell, he was not one to trifle with.
"Yes, shachou." Homare answered taking wind of the death-like feeling coming out of the room. He realized that Kanou had suppressed all of the anger that he had been holding up until now. The need to kill the people who almost killed Ayase was raising its' ugly head, and Kanou began to dial a phone number.
The girls' husband could wait. Right now, there were three people who were going to die very soon. By his hand.
Ayase wondered through the whiteness around him, his back hurt terribly as he waded through knee deep salt water. He fell down, soaking himself and suddenly the pain in his back flaired. He could feel the warm liquid flowing down his back as two wings forcefully ripped their way out of his back. He screamed, though the tears did not come. Perchance the water was made of his tears, he though.
The wings were soft, feathery, and very warm, extending all the way to the ground when he was standing, born of suffering. They were also tinged red from the blood around the base of them that connectedd to his back. Then the light was gone.
He found himself free of pain, but in the woods somewhere. Looking around, he saw that the trees were all...Desolate. There were black decaying leaves at the tops of the trees, making the sky inpossible to see. However, the trunks and everything up until the tops of the trees were striped of their bark, their exposed skin whiter than that of Ayase's, nevertheless, they were shadowy and not absorbing any light. They were like ghosts. He turned then, hearing something behind him and stared into the rising moon that covered the whole horizon. It was collosal.
Then the moon turned blood red, and he felt one of his wings being ripped off. He couldn't see the person behind him who did it, but their hands felt icy cold. This time Ayase did cry. He wanted Kanou-San again. the pain in his back began to flair widly and for some reason, he knew that the more intence pain was not from his wings, but from a cut on his back.
After wiping his tears, he began to hear other things moving abiout the woods. He gasped as he saw the trees grow faces and circle him, pointing guns at Ayase. One ghost tree shot at him. The bullet, or what Ayase assumed was a bullet, found its' way into his other wing. It hurt, nut it didn't hurt like he thought a bullet should hurt. He flet liquid fire shoot up his veins, and dark goo began to grow out of the bullet shot on his one wing, swallowing him. The other ghost trees shot him and just like the other bullets; they too, began to eat at his
The goo was like acid on his wing, eating it to tatters, untill all that was left was a what looked like a peice of old worn out cloth; see through with many rips, tears and holes, and just before the darkness swallowed him, he screamed.
"KANOU-SAN, DASKETE!" He pleaded, then everything went black.
He woke up, and yet he did not. It was all dark out, not even letting a single reflection of light penatrate through it. It felt as though he was lying on the ground but he couldn't be to sure. When he reached up and tried to put his hand is front of hs face he was stopped with a cold flat surface. He couldn't see anything, not the thing that was preveting him to stretch his arm. He breathed deeply, trying to stay calm and noticed that the air was hot.
How could that be, though? The surface in front of him was cold. He sighed then put his arm down beside him, only to realize that he was submerged in just enough water to not notice it, but to not feel the surface beneath him.
Was he floating? He moved to bend his knee and realized that it was being restrained by something. Something heavy. He turned his head and blinked...Or did he? He couldn't tell the difference between blinking and not. What was going on.
Talking was impossible, he noticed, after he thought he coughed. His tongue could not form words and his voice box wasn't working. He could hardly breath when he felt how enclosed the small space he was in was. It was formed like a small box.
He tried pushing. The top moved, ever so slightly. Feeling extremely relieved, he pushed harder, hoping to open the box and find someone. The box lid popped up and swung back to one side on its' hinge.
Ayase fell forward onto the cold hard ground and whatever was holding him dumped out the water it was also holding onto him. He thought the water felt hot, but at the same time it was cold. His head started to spin and he realized that the room he was in was to bright for his eyes. He bagan blinking vigorously and when his eyes finally adjusted, he looked up at the dark figure before him.
Whoever it was began to laugh. The laugh was familiar, but devoid of all emotion exept that of someone crazy. Ayases' body started to get warmer. The man took a step forward, and as Ayase looked up, he couldn't see the face of the person. Ayase scooted away from the man, sensing that he was dangerous, and felt a slight breeze cross his burning body.
Ayase looked down, only to find that he was naked. Then he recognized where exactly he was; behind stage from the auction he was sold at. He moved to cover his body and the man lunged at him. Ayase flinched and tried once again to get away, but he was to slow. The man pounced on him, and Ayase freaked out.
The mans' weight crashed down upon him and started squishing him. Ayase couldn't breath so he struggled to get the man off. He scooted out from underneath the man and grabbed the sharp object he saw lying on the ground beside him.
The man stood and lept over to Ayase once again. Ayase held the sharp object, pointing it to the mans' chest. The man landed collapsed on Ayase. He felt the sharp object pierce the man, and when ithappened, Ayase relized what he had just done.
He felt the warm liquid spill out over his hands and drip on his bare skin. His heart rate sped. He looked down at the man, and at the same time, the man looked up at him, and the ground swallowed him. Ayase gasped, his mind going blank. He had just killed...
Kanou had finally been let back into Ayases' room to watch him sleep after two days, and so Ayase had been in the hospital for about a week already. He hadn't woken up since the first time and Kanou bagan to worry about it. Homare and Misao had been sent to track down the three people who had done harm to Ayase and the woman. They had succesfully captured and thuroughly tortured by Kanou and when Ayase woke up, they would be sent to the Yakuzas' boss.
He had gotten ahold of the leader of the Yakuza and he was on his way to the hospital, so the only thing that was left to do was to wait for Ayase to wake up. Kanou hadn't left the room since the morning he was allowed in the room. Four days. Ayases' back had healed enough to turn him over onto his back. But aside from that, there was not much progress.
The womans injury had healed enough for her to sit up, but she was still only staying awake for less than two hours a day due to an infection that her body was fighting. Kanous' thought were quickly redirected when Ayases' heart rate went up. The beeping on the monitor was accelerating again. It seemed that Ayase was having nightmares recently.
Kanou walked over to Ayases' bedside and picked up his hand, holding it gently in his larger ones. Ayases' hand clenched and unclenched, his closed eyes searching for something in his dream. His lips trembled and parted, just barely. Kanou reached over and pet Ayases' golden hair, hoping to calm him in some way or another, and it worked. Ayases' hand relaxed and his jaw unlclecnched, though his eyes kept wandering.
Kanou got up, placing Ayases' hand back on the bed beside him and went over to the small sink the room supplied. He grabbed one of the small cups and filled it with water, wishing it was alchohal as he drank it.
"KANOU-SAN!" Ayase screamed.
Kanou whirled around, dropping the cup and suddenly appearing by Ayases' bedside once again. Ayases' arm was stratched out toward the ceiling, trying to grab something. His Eyes were open, streaming with tears, and his mouth was parted, his lips trembling again.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Kanou-San. I Didn't mean it. I-I-" His cries cut off and he began sobbing. The heart monitor was beeping fast all over again, and Kanou cursed.
"Ayase! Ayase look at me." Kanou jerken Ayases' head toward him, making him look at Kanous' eyes. The vacant eyes finally flashed some type of recognition, and Ayase blinked through the tears.
"Kanou...San?" Ayase whisperes, his face crumpling again. "I'm sorry. I...I stabbed you... I'm sorry. Please don't die-don't hurt me." He begged Kanou.
"Ayase, you didn't stab me, see?" He took Ayases' hand and placed it on his heart. "See? It's still beating, and does it look like I have a hole in me? I'm not bleading anywhere."
"But-" Ayase started, wiping his face.
"And I swear that I wont hurt you, ok?" He cut off Ayase.
"But I stabbed you!" He insisted, aghasted that Kanou would simply forgive him for stabbing him.
"There are no buts about it. It was just a dream that you had. Or a nightmare you had. Now how do you feel?" He kept questioning.
"I...I-My back hurts a little. And my head hurts. And my throat. Can I have some water?" Ayases' delicate eyebrows drew together.
"Of course. Ayase...Do you know where you are?" Kanou asked, bringin over a small cup full of water.
"Uh...I can't remember. I thought I was at home...What's?" He looked confused as he looked over to the window.
"Drink your water then we'll talk." Kanou commanded. Ayase obeyed and began to sip the water, then instantly he gulped down the rest. He then looked at the cup, questioningly.
"You want some more?" Kanou asked.
"Hai. Please." Ayase complied, taking another cup of water and drinking it fast as well. Then he set the cup down, and looked at it meaningfuly.
"Kanou-San? Am I in the hospital?" He whispered, his voice shaking slightly.
"Yes you are." Kanou answered back.
"If I look down, will there be needles in my body?" He looked over at Kanou and his eyes teared up again.
"Before you start having a panic attack I want you to listen to me, ok?" Kanou demanded.
"O-ok." He stuttered back.
"If you look down there will be needles in your body-don't look yet, I am trying to calm you." He said as Ayases' head bent down to look at his body, then jerked his head back up, looking at Kanou with a pleading look.
"Please get them out." Ayase began, starting to shake.
"Ayase they were put there for a reason- to keep you alive while you were out. If you remove them, you might het sick from dehydration, malnutrition, and lack of blood. Your blood would be the biggest thing, though. Your body is not creating red blood cells as fast as they hoped you would. So you have to keep them in. Ok?" Kanou said.
"Kanou-San, please. I don't like it. I-I'm scared of needles. They are really disgusting." He begged.
"Ayase, you know if I could then I would. But that is not my place and you need them. They have pain killers in the water as well. Because of your back." He said gently. "And speaking of my place, I think the doctor would like to take a look at you, now that you are awake."
Kanou reached over to the bed and pushed the 'help' button once again. He moved over to the side of the bed and Ayase sat up slightly from the elevated back of the bed to see Kanou better.
"Is something wrong, Kanou-San?" Ayase asked, looking concerned.
"You don't realize how glad I am to see you are ok. I was terrified that you might've died. Do you even know how bad I wanted to shake you to wake you up? I don't believe I have ever been so scared in my life. I am so happy thst you are ok." Kanou spoke softly, taking Ayase by surprise.
"K-K...Kanou-San?" Ayase requested.
"Yes?" He replied.
"I want you- I-I want you to h-hug me." Ayase said blushing a beautiful shade of pink, the color flushing his delicate features. He peeked up at a Kanou, and was surprised to find that he had finally taken him by surpise. As soon as he saw that Ayase was looking at him, he quickly re-composed himself and leaned down to hug Ayase.
Kanous' broad fram engulfed Ayases' and Kanou wrapped his arms around Ayase, gently, not touching his back. Ayase slowly put his hands around Kanou and hugged him, shaking slightly when he felt the tug of the needles inside of his arms and hands protesting when Ayase stretched them too far. They sat like that for a while before they heard a soft knock at the door.
"Kanou, you damned brat, unlock the door, or so help me." They heard a familiar voice and Kanou untangled himself from Ayase, stopping when Ayases' hand held firm to his shirt. Kanou looked back at him.
"I won't leave. I promise." He swore when he heard the knock on the door again.
"I'm coming, already." He said irritably. He walked over to the door and unlocked it.
"Why the hell did you have the lock on in the first place?" She demanded.
"I trying to keep out a certain okama." He said simply. Yuna glared at him.
"Touche. I see where you are coming from, but are really aloud to say that, I mean your lover is the boy who is sitting on that bed right now." She gestured toward Ayase.
"A-ano. Arguing isn't healthy..." Ayase said uncomfortably.
Yuna looked over and smiled happy to see Ayase was finally awake.
"Glad you could join us, Aya-Chan. How are you feeling?" Yuna asked walking over to Ayase.
"Yuna-San? Do you work here?" Ayase said, surprised.
"Yes, and I've brought in some visitors for you, Aya-Chan. Boys, will you come here?" She called out the door.
Two boys poked their heads in the door then ran over to Kanou. Kanou loooked down at them and raised his eyebrows at the two chibis standing in front of him. They were both black haired, one with green eyes and one with blue. One was hiding behind the othe lookin a bit frightened whil the other looked up curiously at Kanou.
"And who are these two?" Kanou imlplied.
"The one with the blue eyes in front is Chatuex, and the one in the back with green eyes is Eclipse." She concluded.
"Shadow? And Eclipse? Aren't those weird names?" He said back.
"It is pronounced Shato. But it is like the wine. You know, Chatuex? And the others' name is Eclipse, like a solar eclpise or a lunar eclipse. " She said again.
"And who are they?" He demanded again.
"They are so cute!" Ayase gushed. "Are you babysitting, Yuna-San?"
"No, they're-" She was cut off with a knock from the door.
"Yuna? Is Ayase up? He has a visitor." Another voice sounded on the other side of the door.
"Come in, Soren." She sighed. The two boys split, one toward the door and one towards Yuna.
"Daddy! Hi daddy! That man over there is really tall. Almost as tall as you!" Chatuex exclaimed.
"Wait-daddy? Then that means- You have kids! But you are like, 17!" Kanou said, horrified at the thought of teen prgnancy. Yuna sighed.
"I've already told you that I am older than I seem, haven't I?" She sighed exasperatedly.
"Yeah, mommy, that man over there is really tall, almost like daddy." Eclipse remarked. Yuna picked him up and Soren picked the other one up.
"Yes, that man is Kanou. And this over here is Ayase. You want to say hi?" She asked, smiling at her child and place him on the side of the bed when he nodded. "Be careful, ok? Ayase has a big gouge in his back, and it hurts ok?"
"Yeah. Ok, mommy." Eclipse relplied crawling onto Ayases' lap.
"Hi Aya. Mommy says you have an owie on your back. Does it hurt?" He asked.
"Yeah, a big owie, Aya. How big is it?" Chatuex asked, crawling up the side of the bed and onto Ayases' lap as well.
"Yes, it hurts but not a lot, but I think it is big. It is all bound up, though, so it will get better. Besides, that really tall man over there is going to take care of me until I get better." Ayase said.
"So that Kano will make sure no bullies pick on you, right Aya?" Chatuex asked.
"Yeah, no bullies, right Aya?" Eclipse echoed.
"Nope, I won't let any bullies hurt Ayase. So it is ok." Kanou said.
"Don't let anyone beat up onii-chan. He is to pretty for them." Eclipse demanded.
"Yeah, like an angel. Nii-Chan is pretty." Chatuex repeated.
"Sure thing, nobody will hurt Ayase. I promise." Kanou responded.
"Ok." They both replied in unision.
"Ayase-Kun. You have a visitor." Soren said, bringing in another person with him.
He was even taller than Soren, with black hair that remained unbound. He had ice blue eyes, that made his sharp facial features seem cruel. He smiled.
"Ayase, this is the leader of the Yakuza, Reiketsu." Soren stated.
"Unlce Reiketsu! You're finally here!" The twins said at the same time again.
"Unlce!" Kanou exclaimed.
Well, there ya go. I think I have a couple more chapters to go, but you can be looking forward to a pretty intense lemon soon, lol. I think people will really like this one.
*Kanou* Family connections really confuse me. XI
*Reiketsu* Yup, My really cool name on fanfiction was named after this guy, so yes, he is one of my very special characters. ^_^
*Ayase* They are so adorable...O/O
