So, I could give you many-a reasons why this chapter took so long to finally get up, but I'm sure you really don't have much interest. I apologize greatly, I don't really know why it took me so long but recently I just haven't had much motivation for writing. That all a lot of other things. Generally I think my Muse has up and left me recently and decided to let me fend for myself for a while. And I think starting a new semester might of added to that a bit too.
Anyways a few things to note in this chapter, I'm switching POV to 3rd person, I'm trying really hard to get better at it because I know it is easier to read when it's like that. And this story is starting to take a turn I didn't really expect for it too but I think it should work out. Without further ado,
I don't own Junjou Romantica
But I do own this story
Enjoy.
Misaki's mouth hung open in shock as his eyes bore into the purple man's own as if trying to seek some bluff out of the cold orbs. Usagi-san was alive? B-but how is this…I saw him get shot…with a tranquilizer? His thoughts were in a turbulence as he tried to make some sense of the situation.
"Honestly, you really are slow aren't you?" His was pulled out of his inner ramblings to pay attention to the man in front of him. "Yes, my Rabbit is alive. He got shot by a tranquilizer which will him into a sleep like state for about 10 hours until he wakes up in a hospital to find that his beloved in no-longer in his arms again. Some how my most recent note will reach him, whether he finds it himself or some police officer brings it to him as evidence, even though I am smart enough to not leave any trace or myself behind. But those Idiot of police officers will think that and not let My Rabbit react to what will really be happening since I'm sure he has figured in out already, plus he is still injured. So there is no way he can get out of that hospital for at least a few more days. Until then you are my hostage or if you get on my nerves to much I can dispose of you just as quick, of course that wouldn't benefit me to much since My Rabbit would come to despise me." The man finished his speech with a small laugh, not taking note of Misaki's current scowl. He already despises you. Misaki growled in his mind.
"Wait what?" He paused realizing all the information that was just thrown at him once he got over being angry. "You gave Usagi-san notes to help him find me? Why the hell would you do that?" He asked genuinely confused.
"Well of course, I couldn't just leave him to try and figure it all out himself, no? No, I am a much more giving person than that! I did make sure that it took him some thinking. They were sure be all be easy enough for him since that were all about him." The man chuckled slightly as he made a sharp turn that caused Misaki to hit his head on the side of the car which caused him to grimace before he could talk again.
"U-ugh,," He shook his head trying to get his thoughts together again. "They were about him?" The brunette questioned.
"Yes, yes! I know all the there is too know about My Rabbit! They all lead him to places that were significant to him, as much as I dislike to admit it some of them had to revolve around you as well since you seem to be a prominent part of his life, though not for much longer once I steal his heart." He grinned showing his almost seemingly glowing white teeth.
This got Misaki going again, "You know nothing about Usagi! How dare you even try to say that!" He didn't know where this sudden fury came from, it felt as if his insides start to boil at the thought of someone saying that they knew everything there was to know about his L-lover, he stuttered out that last part even though it was in his mind.
"Ha ha! What is this foolishness, I have no doubt that I have everything that is to know about that man, I've read all of this writings, down to his reviews in newspapers that he sometimes does. I even read his BL books that recently seem to feature you," The purple mans face contorted into a look of disgust at the thought. "Yes, I know all the dirty things he does to you, it's revolting! What's even worse is that you fight at the beginning and then just submit to him. It's so easy to see you enjoy every moment." He finished that thought with a scowl directed at Misaki.
"H-how do you know about that? Even though I don't like to read Usagi-san BL novels often but I do know he never wrights about how I struggle at the beginning, it's always me embarrassed or I busy or something like that. How would you know about those times?" The green-eyed boy asked quietly at the revelation, he face burning red for a different reason now.
"Hmm, I guess that does cause a snag in my story doesn't it, well I suppose I'll just have to let you in on it, " He paused with a smirk. "Let's just say I watch My Rabbit very carefully, so I will always know what is he up too."
Misaki gasped, he mouth hanging agape. He watches us? Usagi-san…me? How is t-that… "You w-watch us?" He stuttered out confused.
"Well I don't chose to watch you, but since My Rabbit always has his hands all over you I don't seem to have a choice now do I?" The man asked rhetorically. "Either way, because of I know all the little quirks that he has, ones I bet you don't even notice. He chews the end of his cigarette bud when he is writing you know." He said more as a statement more than a question.
Misaki shuddered more too the fact that this purple man even knew that rather than that he himself didn't, even though the thought was enough to make him feel like he had just been slapped. Should I know those types of things about Usagi-san, usually when ever his smoking habit comes up I just complain that I want him to try and quit for this health. Maybe seeing those little things should be just as important though? Misaki's thoughts were rampant, he was beginning to feel angry and disappointed with himself. A frown was tugging at the corner of him mouth and his eyes burned slightly threatening to let tears fall from them.
"Y-you're wrong! I know plenty about Usagi-san, I've been living with him for over a year now, I-I wake up next to him in the morning, and fight with him to get up as well. We eat together and no matter how busy he is he always manages to do that much and eat with me. I'm the one who holds him when he cries even though that is more of a rarity if anything it's mostly me who does the crying. And when its like that he holds me!" Misakis was gaining confidence now since the man hadn't cut him off, his voice no-longer quavering like it had been. "I know I may not always be the best for him, but I'm not willing to give him away to anyone. I love him." The brunette finished with that last line and looked up to the rear-view mirror to see the man's reaction.
His eyes were cold, but other than that there was no emotion. They looked forward on the highway that they were now on. Misaki notices for the first time that his eyes were a startling blue, a crystallized blue colour that almost looks like eyes. It was like if you stared to long you could fall into them and be lost forever in its icy tundra.
It was terrifying.
The green-eyed boy tore his own eyes away from the piercing gaze and store the window. He could almost recognize the area they were in. It was obvious that they were no-longer within the Tokyo boundaries, but looked like more in the country side. It was hard to tell since it was still dark out but the light from the moon cast an eerie glow on the rice-fields that were currently blowing with the wind above the water.
He tried to remember where he had seen the before; he stared at the rice stocks that were waving that him and in a way almost lulling him to sleep,
And just as his eyes closed a memory came to him:
~Flashback~
"Mother, I feel car-sick" A 6-year-old Misaki whined. He sat in the back of his parent's car with his nii-chan sat next to him, rolling his eye's slightly at his younger brother. This was the 4 time he had started complaining since they were on their way to the airport to visit their grandmother.
"Misaki dear, I already gave you juice and another pillow, what else can I give you?" She spoke concerned that her baby was uncomfortable with the long drive.
"I dun knowww~." Trying his best to hint that he wanted a candy to suck on though only his brother caught on.
"Son, why don't you try looking out the window so you're less dizzy. If you look in one area too long in the car you can start to feel a bit sick, and you've been looking at those picture books for a couple hours now haven't you?" His father commented from the drivers seat.
"They're called Ma-n-gas." Misaki huffed sounding out the words carefully.
"You can't even read properly yet." His nii-chan teased from beside him.
"SO?! I don't need to know how to read it to like it!" He retorted clutching his only copy of The Kan to his chest. His parent's chuckled from the front seat that their sons interacting with each other.
"Misaki, listen to what your father says, try looking out the window a little, we're passing a rice-field right now." His mother spoke up again.
He complied and directed his gaze outside, and watched at the foot-long stocks of rice waved at him in the wind and lulled him to sleep…
Misaki woke up with a gasp after only being a sleep for a minute or so. Is that why I recognize this place? Because of a car ride I took with my family once before? And we were heading to the airport because my grandmother had suddenly become ill. She didn't live in town and at the time I was still afraid of taking the Shinkansen* for some reason or another. We ended up going to the airport outside of Tokyo because the flight there was booked.
That type of memory of my parents normally would have made Misaki very depressed, but as for right now he couldn't be more relieve.
He knew where this man was taking him.
He still didn't quite know why they were heading to this smaller airport that was just outside of Tokyo, but it couldn't be because he wanted to leave Misaki there and skip town. No, wherever he was heading now Misaki was coming too. But as for where would need a little more prying than what a memory could give him.
"I know where you are taking me." Misaki suddenly spoke, trying to make it sound like he knew their actual destination.
The man raised his eyebrows considerably.
"Oh really now? Do you?" He asked surprisingly interested to see if college student was lying at all.
"Yes." He said convincingly but not giving reasoning to how he could of possibly known. It must have something to do with Usagi-san though, He thought.
"Hm, well I hope you are as excited to be there as I am." The man continued on still suspicious and therefore not saying where there we're heading still.
"Of course, why wouldn't I be? I wonder what Usagi-san would say if he knew?" Misaki played along, hoping that last part might get the answer out.
"I'm sure My Rabbit would be pleased to hear that his current lover and his future one were on their way to his childhood town." The purple man spoke knowing that he either just gave the answer away if the boy hadn't already known it.
Ignoring that last line coming from the man, Misaki tried to hide the slight victory he felt since he now knew they were heading to England.
Good thing Usagi-san told me that story a while ago or I would be freaking my ass off about going on a plane to an unknown destination with this creepy guy. He could now be a little less worried about his life at the moment even though he didn't know what awaited him there. Nor did he known the exact town where Usagi-san use to live, only that it wasn't in London. Even tough apparently they had a town house there too.
"Oh, I'm sure he would." Misaki said through a fake smile, weirdly enough trying to be chummy with the guy now. "Though, England is rather far away isn't it? How do you plan on taking me there, I know the airport we are heading too isn't an international one, and only takes flights within Japan." He wasn't quite sure if it was an international one or not, but it would make sense since the closest one was in Tokyo for all he knew.
The man looked shocked for a moment but then settled into a knowing grin, "Well that is already taken care of Misaki-chan, since I have my own Jet!" He said cheerily.
Misaki bit back the annoyance he felt at being called 'Chan' and focused on how it made sense for the weirdo to be rich, how else would he have enough money for all this plotting and scheming he has been doing the past day or so.
The boy frowned for a moment, Wow, it really only has been a day hasn't it? He asked himself, It's felt so much longer though.
"Is that so?" Misaki asked quietly now feeling a little bit sad and wishing madly he was with Usagi-san again.
"Yes, and guess what! You are about to see it." The man laughed out-loud, clearly thinking how clever he was as they pulled up to the air port.
The brunette's eyes widen as he whipped his head around to look out the windows.
They have indeed arrived at the airport in this smaller town. Misaki didn't even notice they were out of the country already.
He did take heed of the sudden swarms of men that started surrounding the car and their large guns that were hooked into their pants. How is no-one seeing all these guns that they have?! It's illegal to have them isn't it?! Misaki though crazily. Even though was now frozen with fear.
His door was open quickly causing Misaki to flinch. Even more so when a large hand grabbed his upper-arm and tugged him out of the car forcefully.
"Oww." The green-eyed boy groaned as he felt the fingers dig into him. What are these guys? Part of the Yakuza? And this purple man is their leader? The more he thought about it the more it made sense in his mind.
Maybe there was more too this than met the eye.
Slight plot twist in a way? I really enjoyed writing that flashback scene with Misaki's family, I don't know made me kinda happy (^_^) How did I do with 3rd POV? Drop me a review and I'll try to get the next chapter out as soon as possible!
Love,
