Everything was set for the most part regarding the war there were just a few small things that needed to be worked out. One was his baby brother who had stopped talking since the incident with Keiji. Kenta would say a few things but for the most part the young boy would just sit staring off into space not saying a word. He looked at the little boy on the couch and sighed softly running a hand through his hair and kneeling in front of him. "It's ok to be angry Kenta. When Aya-chan was put in a coma Ran became and assassin. It's ok to be sad too." The little boy looked at him blandly. "I'm not angry." He smiled somewhat and touched the little boy's face and kissed his forehead. "Keiji knew." Came a very soft whisper. He blinked and looked at his little brother and held two little hands. "He knew he was going to be killed and he was fine with it. He left me. He's been the one who has always taken care of me and he left me." The little boy's voice faded as he came to the end of his speech then flung himself on to his lap and sobbed. "I hate him Ken and I hate myself for hating him but I hate him for leaving me." He pulled his little brother close and rocked him gently. " It's hard Kenta I know." Tears filled his eyes and he buried his face in the little boy's hair. "It's hard to love some one that much and hate them at the same time. I wish I was around more to watch you two grow up and I know I can never replace Keiji but you can always come to me." His little brother pulled away and looked at him. "I understand why you weren't around Ken and I don't blame you. Keiji gave me a letter long ago that explained everything. He's known this was coming for a long time. It was Mom and Dad's fault they didn't want you. It was their fault they didn't want us. Keiji always had hope that one day we would have a family again but he didn't see we were a family and now you are apart of that family too." He smiled and hugged the little boy tightly.
Ran sat next to the leader of Schwartz and sighed softly. The man had done nothing but blame himself since the accident. "It's not your fault Crawford. You did what you could and there is a chance Keiji may make it though this." The man snorted and shook his head. "Yes if fifty percent brain function is making it though this. He lost so much blood and his heart stopped so many times the doctors aren't even sure he'll survive the coma and if he does he'll be lucky to have fifty percent of his normal brain function. He'll be lucky if he remembers how to talk much less do anything worthy of living." He looked at the other darkly. "Who are you to judge what is worthy of life?" The man looked at him yellow eyes glowing with an odd dark fire. "Who are you to judge that a person is worthy to live? We are assassins Ran don't give me that moral bullshit. Would you enjoy watching your sister be barely able to function? Do you think she would enjoy hardly being hardly able to function especially if she remembers what she once had? It's not a life for any one especially that boy." He sighed softly and leaned back into the couch and looked around the basement. "He's a Hidaka and they are the most stubborn people I've ever met. If anyone would be able to pull out of this, Fuck what the doctors say, it would be Keiji. The doctors don't understand wer and they don't understand the Hidaka brothers." The other man snorted. "Please delude yourself some more. However I hope you are right." He smiled softly and patted the man on the back gently.
Ken straddled Ran's lap and kissed him deeply seeing comfort in the act of simple carnal pleasure. He pulled away and gave his lover a weak smile. Ran looked at him and stroked his face softly kissing his neck. "What's wrong koi?" His lover murmured softly nipping at his ear. Ran seemed to know exactly what he needed at any given moment. "I have a meeting with the other wer. We are moving out soon I'm not sure when. I need you to watch Kenta while I'm gone. He's not exactly stable but he's better." His lover hummed thoughtfully against his skin and he sighed. "What will you do with him when you have to fight?" He sighed heavily leaning his head against warm crimson tresses. "Leave him with Aya-chan. I need you with me when I face Nanashi." His lover nodded and kissed him tenderly. "Go before I decide to take this farther." He stood and gave Ran a quick kiss and jogged up the stairs.
Kenta stared at the tall redhead he was now stuck with. Every one else had left to various things some of which sounded questionable but he decided not to think of it too hard about it. Violet eyes turned to him and the redhead crouched so they were eye level. "How come you didn't go with Aya to see your brother in the hospital?" It was a soft kind question asked out of pure curiosity instead of a gentle push for him to change his mind. "Because I'm pissed off at him." The redhead smiled softly and tilted his head to the side. "That's understandable. I'm sure it wasn't Keiji's fault but you still have every right to be angry." He snorted and crossed his arms. "No, it was Keiji's fault. He knew Jun still worked for Nanashi but he still had to go because he loves him. Love is a crock." He saw anger flash in violet eyes then it settled into a deep concern. "Who is Jun?" He looked at the redhead knowing he said too much but not willing to let his mouth stop. "Keiji's boyfriend of a sort. I mean I guess they were dating but it wasn't like Jun ever took Keiji out or anything. He was afraid of our dad who was one of the werecats well he still is a werecat he's just no longer our dad. They've been seeing one another for two maybe three years. A few months back they broke it off then Keiji was pulled to Nanashi and apparently Jun was there and they kind of got back together but then Keiji left because of Ken and he was confused and he liked your sister so they would flirt and he kissed her but they both knew it was nothing more than friendship. Jun wrote him a note not to long ago to meet him so he did and now he's in a coma." He looked to the floor tears threatening to spill over.
Ran felt every hair on his body stand on end so he shot up and spun looking around darkly when a dark laugh broke his thoughts. "Ah such a weak pathetic creature you are. Your darling mate leaves you and his precious little brother defenseless. Who am I not to take advantage of such a beautiful opportunity?" He stared at the man with deep gold eyes that glinted in the fading light of day. Six to ten wer just stood blocking his every exit. "Take them down boys." The wer started to snarl when three gunshots went off and Crawford shoved his way though shooting any were that got close enough. He changed into his wer form but Nanashi looked calm with a small smirk across his face. Three clicks were heard and the wer pounced on all of them and the world faded into darkness.
Ken paused and sniffed the air as he came home. The smell of people coved the scent that put him on edge. Schuldich stepped out of the house silently and handed him a letter. ' I have your mate, your brother, and your physic. Come get them if you dare.' He looked to Schuldich who sighed and stepped out of the way. The house was in shambles and he felt his knees give out under him. "Keiji is missing as well." He looked to the tall redhead who was towering over him and let out a pricing cry into the night summoning all wer and giving those who did not join him fair warning that there would be blood.
Am I evil? Yes I just might think so. Any way I didn't say anything last time but un it was Holidays and the next two months are busy with family birthdays including mine! by the way I'm on DeviantArt now! my name there is NoirDravenwood. I know I'm clever...not really no. School has started again so my free time has died...well no not really but um I need a job so that will kill what ever free time I currently have. College is expensive just by its self then there is books. I'm broke. Oh well I'm done with this ramble.
Gillie: I did not kill Keiji...I didn't have the heart but I was going to but couldn't. As for Ran i think he'd deal or Ken would make Ran deal. As for Keiji and Ken being brothers well I hinted at it the first time Keiji showed up and sevral times after that. Maybe i didn't make it clear. Hum. Anyway you never know what tricks I have up my sleeve so just hold on tight and don't stab me.
Heather R. There is still hope for Aya and Keiji i just need Jun for something else so I needed to tie him in some how and Keiji is easy cannon fodder for me because he's mine. I have big slightly evil plans for dear Keiji so I can't kill him off yet. No my pretty Keiji shall LIVE. ok I'm done now thanks for the review.
