Hey. Here is the 12th chapter. Some of it might be a bit rushed.
The doctor looked up when the door opened again. Liam walked in. "Ah. So you are Rinji's sibling?" The doctor asked. The boy nodded. "I thought Rinji had a sister." "He did. I just, had to become someone else to help get threw things." Liam said quietly. "Split personality?" The doctor asked. "Yes. At first. But then it stooped happening. When they would take control. In only happened when i was scared or felt threatened. It takes a lot to make me scared now. So i only need their name. Because mine brings me pain."
"IT would be better if you let that belief go." The doctor said wisely. Liam nodded. "I know. But it is hard to." Their conversation was cut short when Yogi began to stir. He sat up slowly.
Liam walked over to Yogi. Yogi was sitting up and awake now. "Moriko?" He asked. Liam nodded. "But I'm Liam for just one more day. Understand?" Yogi nodded. 'Liam' took a deep breath. "Will you let me help you?" 'Liam' asked suddenly. The doctor and Yogi stared at 'Liam'. "I need your permission, if I'm going to watch over you. If I'm going to help you." Yogi hesitantly nodded. "I trust you." He said. Liam grinned.
"That's all i need."
Yogi walked down the halls. He hummed to himself quietly. He had talked to Hirato earlier. And asked if they could go to the park. He had given the okay and now all he had to do was find the others. HE smiled when he spotted Gareki.
He ran to the younger and smiled brightly. "Hello Gareki." He said happily. Gareki raised an eyebrow. "You seem fine." Yogi nodded. "Yep. Hirato said everyone could go to the park. Would you like to come to? Nai and Liam are coming." Yogi said frantically. Trying to convince Gareki to come along. "No." Gareki said. "But why not?" Yogi whined. He was smiling a lot. To much Garrek thought. "It'll be fun. I promise!" Yogi began to pull on Gareki's arm.
Gareki growled. Yogi let go in surprise and Gareki fell to the floor. "I'm so sorry!" Yogi said. Reaching to help Gareki to his feet. Gareki shoved Yogi hand away.
"Idiot!" Gareki hissed at Yogi. "Stop acting like such a child. Your an adult!" With that Gareki turned and left. Unaware of dark mismatched eyes trained on his every move.
How had they talked him into this? Liam and Nai had managed to drag him and Tsukumo with them and Yogi to the park. Carl had come and left to find a bookstore. Gareki sighed from his spot underneath a tree. Where he could keep an eye on everyone. Tsukumo was currently walking around with Nai. pointing out different plants and flowers. Liam and Yogi where running around like children. Laughing loudly and making fun of each other. Nai looked like he wanted to join them.
Gareki snorted. Idiots. Tsukumo nodded and giggled when Nai took of toward Liam and Yogi. The two where currently playing tag. Liam quickly explained the rules to Nai before taking off. Nai looked around bewildered before he hid behind a tree. Yogi hid near a huge bush.
"Ready or not, here i come!".Liam called. So he was it then. He looked around. He walked around different trees. Trying to find the other two. Liam grinned scrambled up some random tree. Yogi got up. He looked to Nai. Nai shrugged. They had no idea where Liam went off to. Yogi got up and began to walk around. A mistake on his part.
"Mwahahaha!" Liam laughed as he launched himself out of the tree. Yogi panicked but still managed to catch the boy. The fell to the ground. Liam sitting on Yogi's stomach. Liam grinned down at Yogi. "I win." He said plainly, before he jumped up and took off running. Yogi blinked before he to jumped to his feet. "That's cheating Liam!" Yogi called out. Yet he chased Liam with a grin on his face.
Gareki felt his eye twitch. What was with this boy? He was freakin' insane! Jumping out of a tree, jumping on Yogi! Wait, why would he be concerned if Yogi got jumped on? Damn it! Liam was messing with his mind!
Liam ran back over and went straight to Nai. He asked Nai something. To which the boy nodded frantically. Liam patted the boys head and hid. Nai looked around frantically before diving head first into a bush.
Gareki raised an eyebrow. Just what the hell where they doing? Yogi came running back. He asked Tsukumo something to which the girl shook her head. Yogi sighed. Then Liam and Nai jumped out and tackled Yogi to the ground. Tsukumo started giggling. She turned and waved him over. "Time to get lunch!" She called. Gareki stood from his spot under the tree and walked towards them. Liam, Nai and Yogi still laughing on the ground.
Gareki sat at a table. Nai, Yogi, Tsukumo, and Carl at another. Where was Liam? Soon Liam emerged. A lunch tray in hand and he walked to where Gareki was sitting. Liam began to eat his many cookies an Gareki ate his sandwich silently. His eyes trained on the crazy mismatch eyed boy. Liam Finished suddenly and sat up straight. His eyes staring at Gareki.
Liam grinned slyly at him, his grin like that of the Cheshire Cat. His mismatched eyes practically glowing with mischief. He was planning something, that much was obvious. Gareki felt a huge chill run down his back when the grin widened slightly. Something that seemed almost impossible for the already incredibly wide grin to do.
"You like him." The statement was simple. Blunt and to the point. No teasing or anything at all. "What?" Gareki asked. "You. like. him." Liam repeated calmly. "You have a crush on Yogi." Gareki frowned, trying to make the slight blush on his checks seem like it was out of anger. "Don't go around telling lies." Gareki said sharply. "If i was telling a lie, why does it bother you?" Liam asked calmly. "Who wouldn't get upset with you spreading rumors!" Gareki burst out.
Liam just tsked and shook his head. "Its alright Gareki, you don't understand how you feel right now is all. After all, your still a boy." Gareki was fuming. "Hey, i think i see steam coming out you ears." Liam joked lightly. Gareki growled in annoyance. He just didn't know when to quit. Gareki thought angrily.
Liam just continued to grin widely. "You idiot." He said with a horse bark-like laugh. It sent a chill down Gareki's spine. Liam grinned at him, his face cold. The look in his eyes dark, as if he was looking hungrily at Gareki's soul, wondering whether or not to eat it.
"If i find, that Yogi was hurt because of you..." Liam trailed off and laid back in his chair. His voice still cold and monotone. "You would hurt him dearly, wouldn't you? Your selfish like that. Yogi does not need a person like you in his life. You would only hurt him, only use him. He does not need you."
Gareki such powerful anger explode inside of him at Liam words. How dare he! That little brat, damn him! How dare he accuse him of using Yogi! But,...he had to stop himself. Was he using Yogi? He honestly didn't know. He himself did not believe he was using the young man.
"You use him." Liam said, looking at the sky, his voice detached and colder than winter. "You use him more in a sense that he is your personal punching bag. Maybe not with your real fists, but your words hurt him just as well. You do not know what happened to him when he was younger, and neither do I. The doctor, Akari and Hirato barely know, but that is because Yogi has still not told them. Tsukumo does not know, because no one has told her."
Liam caught Gareki's eyes and held them with his gaze. His Neon green eye and electric blue seeming to glow from the shadow his hat was casting on his face. "You are not helping him. You are only making his pain and guilt worse. You are no friend of his."
"I want you to leave him alone. Never bother him again."
The words where so sudden and strong. They cut deep into Gareki, and he forgot to breathe for a moment. Never speak to Yogi again? The idea stunned and enraged him at the same time. How could he out right tell him he couldn't ever speak to Yogi again?
Why did that bother him so much? That didn't matter at the moment, what did, was that Liam was telling him to never speak to Yogi again.
Gareki glared at Liam. "What do you mean, 'never bother him again'?" "Exactly as i said. I want you to stop bothering Yogi. Stop hurting him. Because that is all you do when you say such harsh things to him." Such harsh things? What was Liam talking about? Liam still kept his cold gaze locked on Gareki. "You know damn well what i mean." He said. He shook his head, almost like he was disgusted.
"Why are you telling me what to do?" Gareki asked. Leaning back he smirked. "Yogi's a grown up. He can take care of himself." Liam shook his head, his gaze lowered. "Taking care of himself would mean harming himself." He whispered. "What?" Gareki asked. Liam sighed. "I'm in charge of how Yogi lives for the time being. And i say, that if Yogi worsens in anyway..." Liam looked at Gareki. His eyes glowing brightly. His face covered in a shadow of his hat, but his eyes glowed. His grin wide, and dark. "Yogi will not be in circus. And for You. Well, you don't want to know what I'll do to you."
"So this is a threat?" Gareki asked. Liam shook his head. "No. This is a warning. Not just to you. But to everyone. I do not like you or anyone who hurst someone already deeply scarred." With that Liam stood and left.
Gareki sat there. Stunned. He watched Liam head over to Yogi. The young man smiled at the mismatched eyed boy. Yogi grinned and excitedly told Liam something, to witch Liam grinned back and replied with something funny. Of course whatever he said made Yogi laugh. That's how Gareki knew Liam said something funny. Nai ran up to he two, pointing wildly.
Gareki shook his head. Who was Liam to tell him what to do? He could talk to Yogi if he wanted to! He could be Yogi's friend! He already was, right? He stopped. No. A friend doesn't hurt a friend. And Liam said i hurt Yogi. How have i hurt him? Did i hurt him? Or was Liam lying? He honestly didn't know.
"Gareki?" Gareki looked up to see Tsukumo. She looked worried. Why? "Are you okay?" Gareki sighed and ran a hand threw his hair. "Yeah." "Are you sure?" Tsukumo asked. "Ye-" Gareki's breath caught in his throat. He shook his head slowly. "I...I'm not sure right now." Tsukumo nodded. "She sat next to Gareki. "Have you heard?" She asked. Her purple eyes watching Nai, Liam and Yogi fool around like children.
"Heard what?" Gareki asked. "Liam is in care of taking care of Yogi. He is threatening having Yogi removed from Circus." Gareki's eyes widened. So he wasn't lying. "What do you mean?" Tsukumo shook her head. "I don not know. No one will tell me anything. Not Hirato, Akari, the doctor, Liam...Not even Yogi." Tsukumo looked deeply bothered by this.
Gareki sat there. He didn't know what to say. Should he even say anything? He looked over to where the three where playing tag. He sighed. "I don't get this." Gareki said as he leaned back. He sighed as he looked at the sky. Tsukumo nodded. "If somethings wrong with Yogi..." Gareki glanced at Tsukumo. "I need to know. He's my friend." She said softly. Gareki said nothing. He glanced at Liam. "I only know that Liam said it wasn't a threat to anyone. "
"Just a warning,"
"Why did you let everyone go to the park?" John asked Hirato as he leaned against the wall. Hirato sighed. He handed the other a piece of paper. John's eyes widened. "This-" "Is a threat against Yogi and someone name Moriko. Yes, i know." "What are you going to do?" John asked. Not sure how to react to how clam Liam was being. "At the moment I'm in a tight spot."
"What do you mean?" "That threat is from the man from before." "And Liam says he'll take Yogi away if he believes Yogi to be in any danger." John said frowning. Hirato nodded. "I'm not sure if telling Yogi would be a good idea. Seeing how he reacted to seeing the man before. But if i don't tell him and he sees the man again, it will be like putting him and more people in danger. Either way. Liam will see this as something harmful towards Yogi."
John nodded. "Unless this is planned." John said. Hirato nodded. "I thought of that. But Liam had reacted in much the same way Yogi had. You can not fake that." John nodded. He looked at the letter and read it again.
Hello Circus.
I see you've found my little toys Yogi and Moriko. I'd like them back please. I've missed them so much. Please tell them so. Perhaps we could all play a game sometime soon? Would you like that Yogi? A game. You seemed to like them when we where little. You kept them all to yourself. Leading to your family's down fall. Your such a selfish boy.
Don't fret dears. We'll meet again. Just you and me. Moriko to. She'll be there. WE can all play like we used to. We'll have fun. I promise. Well, i promise i will.
See you soon,
:D
John read it again. IT was a simple note. Yet is seemed to be written in code. Game? What game? [The game! Damn. I just lost the game.] He looked to Hirato. "What does this mean?" "I'm not sure. But we'd better keep an eye on Yogi and Liam." John nodded. Looking back at the note. It was only a few lines long. Signed of with the image of a smiley face.
Yet he knew it meant much more than that. He wasn't sure he wanted to know all of the notes meaning.
Yeah. Like noted before. Some of this might be a bit rushed. But i just had to finish it. IT wouldn't leave me alone.
Bye.
