Fortune telling 6
His laughter rang out as he ran from the window. He was sure that only Natsuki... no Satsuki... had seen him. He knew full well that the blonde had called out his name as he jumped out the window. But he had caught on Al quickly Kaoru barely had time to make sure his note was visible to Syo. Lightning striked at the right moment. It had lasted of only seconds but in those seconds Satsuki had jumped out of the window making a hard left right if of him brother's sight.
And Cecil had planned it so perfectly for him. Although the dark skinned male had planned to lure Ai out, that wasn't what worked. Having Cecil alive and fulfilling his plan made it easier for the blonde. All that Cecil had managed to do was lure six people into six traps while he went after the other two.
But Cecil wasn't thinking. If anyone, he should have taken his brother. But no, he left his Nii-san with the blonde haired noble. Kaoru had told Cecil once; if his brother was smart he wouldn't follow him. From first glance the short blonde noticed Otoya's intelligence beneath his clumsiness. He found it very alluring.
But now the tables had turned, if Otoya was smart, he would fall into the trap and leave the noble by himself. After all, Kaoru had a tight schedule. He would barely have time to DEAL with Camus before having to lure Natsuki away, leaving his brother broken in guilt. Of coarse it was horrible. But Kaoru was doing what he had to.
Just like the smart person Kaoru thought him to be, Otoya ran after the short blonde in the distance. He knew that Otoya would make his way to Syo's room by himself. All that needed to be done was hide in the shadows until Camus came scurrying around the corner. And as the blonde had planned, it didn't take long.
Kaoru had readied himself. At the first glimpse of Camus he pushed himself off the wall and into the blonde. He had a look of pure terror on in, as fake as it was. He tightened his fist into the older male's white shirt.
"H-help." His voice weakened, his eyes pledding. "Na-na-natsuki... h-he. Oh god!" He forced his knees to buckle. A sob wreaked his small slender frame.
Camus bent down to comfort the fallen boy. "Syo-san?"
Kaoru looked at the ground. Why could they not see he wasn't Syo? He pretended to wipe tears from his eyes. But really he was waiting. Balled in his fists was a sharp wire cored. He was about to test another thing out. He made sure that he looked as if he were crying as he put one end of the cored into his left hand.
Camus, unsuspecting of the latter didn't hesitant to put a hand on his shoulder. The moment he did Kaoru's head shot up. He smiled teasingly. "Just kidding." The shorter one stretched his hands apart and lunged towards Camus. He pushed the wire against the soft flesh of the man's neck. Unlike he expected blood didn't sprit out onto his face, clothes, everywhere. No it steeped out leaving only the man's shirt red. It also didn't cut all the way to the bone like he wanted. It was supposed to be a quick death, he didn't have time to watch Camus choke on his own blood, although he found it amusing. The blonde would die soon enough. Maybe even this would work to his benefit.
He was far enough from the building, Satsuki hot on his trail. Stopping just before the brush of the forest, he turned to face the taller teen. His voice ringing out sharply like a bell. "Long time, Satsuki-san."
The Gemini stopped as well. "What do you think you're doing." He yelled.
"I'm going to bring Syo home. You could help me." The younger one extended a hand to his brother's friend.
"I'd rather die." Satsuki spat.
Kaoru laughed at the idle threat. "You know that could be arranged. But you are nii-san's friend."
"So were the rest if them!" Satsuki turned his head away muttering. "I'd rather see you dead, before I help"
"Then come at me." The young one taunted. "Or are you afraid and weak? Just like Natsuki."
At that the blonde pounced. He did it quickly hoping to get the edge against the latter. In his rage dropping his glasses to the ground. But Kaoru smiled the slightest twitch, so to him it was no surprise how Satsuki moved. Spinning to his right he dodged narrowly.
Satsuki fell through the bushes into a hole. A very deep hole, a very wet hole. It must have taken him days to dig, even if he had help. Reaching up the blonde couldn't reach the top. The walls were to slick to climb and water was at his ankles.
"Kaoru!" He bellowed.
The young blonde squatted down holding Satsuki's, Natsuki's glasses in his hand. "I'm sorry Satsuki-san. You see, Natsuki has been part of my plan from the beginning. I need him alive and well. But I should finish off all the replaceable pawns before you drown or can reach the top. And if somehow you should escape... well, I'll just have to catch you in a more secure trap next time, won't I?"
The blonde smiled down at the other, letting the glasses fall from his hands into the water. "Next time, it would be pleasant to talk with Natsuki. He is far more agreeable than you are. Although he's just the Fool.*"
Ren followed behind Masato. Each creak of the floor boards, even the rain tapping against the window would make him shutter and jump. He didn't think splitting up was a good idea. He didn't understand why they didn't just run for it. It was only a bit if rain. What's the worst that would happen, they might catch a cold. Boohoo. If they stayed here, they would die.
"Masa, let's just go." He begged, trying to gather some warmth. "You saw that happened to Nanami and Toki. I don't want to die."
"Even I'd we were to run, where would we go? Like you said. Are we really even safe if we leave?" Masato looked over his shoulder. He stopped a fews steps from in front of the kitchen doors and turned to face the strawberry blonde.
Ren stopped right in front of him, his legs not wanting to move any further. He shutteres , moving his hands up and down his arms. "I don't know if I can do this."
The navy blue haired male looked at the man in front of him. He took one of Ren's hands into his own. "As long as I'm here, I'll keep you safe."
Ren weakly nodded, as Masato let go of his hand and opened the door. The room was dark like all the others. Shadows moved against the wall, keeping both teens on edge.
"Guard the door. I'll get the food." Masa said to him. The blunette dash back to the cupboards yanking on one, with no avail.
"Mass, hurry." Ren grew restless with every passing second.
"It's okay Ren, calm down. The cupboard is stuck. Just breath." Masato kept his voice low, calm, as he struggled with the cupboard. Both hands firmly on the handle, above his head, he pulled with everything he had. Then Ne heard a snap. Like a spring breaking.
Ren, felt the air rush behind him. He felt his hair shift. He heard the slam and bone crunching sound. Slowly, he turned his head. "Masa?"
Silence answered him. "Masa this isn't funny. Not right now." He looked around the small bend in the wall. Oh, how he wished he hadn't. He thought what happens to Tokiya and Nanami was bad.
A giant stake had planted its self into Masato's chest. Well mostly. It had entered through his back. The blunette's legs sagged, but his weight was supported by the stake as he swumg back and forth. Was it even possible for one person to get that hanging like that? Blood dropped out of his friend's mouth and his once shinning blue eyes had dulled.
Ren fell backwards, holding his hand to his mouth, trying not to cry. He was alone now. From what everyone had said earlier that many he was next. In a frenzied panic, he whipped his head back and forth trying to find the killer. He slide himself on the floor to the wall. H-he just had to find someone. And the closest thing to him was Syo's room.
Refusing to pick himself off the ground, he slowly made his way to Syo. He didn't want to die here. He wasn't going to. He would sell his soul to the devil if he had to. Tears leaked from his eyes, but he made no sound in fear for his life.
Greetings all! I know I'm updating so quickly you guys barely have time to review. But this chapter... it was so fun and easy to write.
* I forgot to mention in the last chapter what card, Syo received. So I had Kaoru tell everyone.
hoverdragon- you made me laugh. It's okay you forgot. But I knew, from my constant watch over my fiction, that the second person to read that last chapter was from Germany. I figured it was you. And Natsuki being your favorite character didn't affect this chapter at all. It was planned this way. And normally I post at like eight am for you. With would be two am here, so I get the spelling mistakes.
Katie Horror- I hope you like the plan that Kaoru chose to follow. But you might need to take after Yumi aka Starishadow and grab some stuff animals for the next chapter...
Starishadow- see Ren didn't die yet... he just didn't have a good chapter. Cause you know that could have been him. The trap was designed to get both of them but he was standing in the doorway. Little miracles right lol. Well foolish hopes sometimes are what leads the way to a bright future ;)
pinkyneko- thank you so much for complementing me. I hope I answered your question a little, but to calm any fears. Kaoru already said, he needed Nastuki alive and well.
We still have two sempais missing and the reunion between twins. Hope I updated within a good amount of time. By the way, I hope the deaths I made seem real enough. I didn't just want him to stab everyone.
Until next time
