Hey all! I am currently crammed in the car with my family on our summer trip. We have about 6 hours left ahead of us. SO I am going to write! As always I do not own Kurositusuji nor any of the characters/plot. Please read and review.
At last they were alone.
It was so nice to watch them walking from the supermarket, her leading, him always following, without any interference.
It was so. . . Delightful to know that no matter what corners of his trap they ran too, he would always be there,
Waiting.
KIP
She hadn't seen Sebastian in almost a month, and Kip was actually starting to get irritated. Alan's fits had been getting more violent and more frequent. As much as she hated to admit it, she could have used his help (mostly financial). Not to mention Professor Adni had been pestering her to come back over for dinner, since she didn't really get to eat last time, and he was concerned that she had lost too much weight.
But Kip could honestly not pay attention to any of these things going on around her at school. All of it was like the little things that happened in between taking care of Alan and nursing her own wounds.
"Oh Kippy dear, I hate to be a bother."
Angela Fairfield had come up to Kip's table in the library.
"You should really see a therapist Angela, if you hate yourself all the time."
Kip didn't look up from her book as she said this, but she heard Angela sit down next to her with an annoyed sigh.
"I just wanted to let you know that, one, Your hair looks like sosmething died in it. Two, the police are here looking for you."
"What that hell for!"
"You're nut case of a brother is with them."
"Sons of bitches!"
Kip abandoned her book and ran out of the library into the rain where she saw two coppers talking to Principal Randall, with Alan in between them.
He was handcuffed.
She ran up to them, stepping between them and Principal Randall.
"Just what the hell are you doing with my brother! Let him go!"
The bigger cop looked at the principal.
"This her?"
"Yes, gentleman, this is Caterina Pherguson."
Kip cringed slightly at her name but she went up to Alan and held him in a tight, protective hug.
"Kippy. . . Kippy. . . I didn't mean too. . . He made me do it. . He made me do it. . ."
The rest of Alan's words turned to mush amid his sobs. He put his face in Kip's shoulder as she stroked his hair and hugged him tighter.
"Just what are you doing cuffing him! He's not going to hurt anyone!"
"I may have to contradict you on that Miss Pherguson."
It was the big cop who spoke, he pulled Alan away from Kip's embrace, that only made him cry harder.
"What the fuck are you doing! He's my brother he won't hurt me!"
She attepted to go back to Alan, but the big cop's partner held her arm while his partner put himself between Kip and her brother.
"Miss, you have to understand, this is for your protection!"
"My ass! He's my brother! Please! I know how to calm him down!"
Alan had begun to cry harder still, because he couldn't see Kip anymore.
This ripped her heart out.
"PLEASE! HE'S MY BROTHER! HE NEEDS ME!"
In her frantic struggle she elbowed the cop holding her arm in the gut, effectively loosening his grip. She ran full speed at the cop who had Alan and kneed him right in the nuts.
She grabbed Alan and pulled him to her, she hunched her entire upper body over his head to protect him from getting any wetter.
"I'll never leave you Alan. I'll always be here, I promise, I swear on my grave-"
Kip was grabbed from behind and wrenched away from Alan, she screamed and attempted to fight them off but this time, both cops had her by the arms.
"MISS! You don't understand! He poked his teachers eyes out! He's not safe!"
"I DON'T CARE! LET ME GO YOU BIG FUCKING PIG! LET ME GO!"
Suddenly a stronger pair of hands took hold of Kip's arms, and she saw the cops run forward to grab Alan.
"Kippy! KIPPY! DON'T LET THEM! DON'T LEAVE ME! I DIDN'T MEAN TO-"
He was too far away for Kip to hear his screams. She fought viciously against whoever held her.
"YOU BASTARDS! ALAN! ALAN! I'LL GET YOU! I'LL GET YOU ALL FOR THIS!
Kip was whirled around and she saw the face of Professor Adni.
"Stop it Kip, he needs this-"
"LIKE HELL! THIS IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! LET ME GO! ALAN!"
Her throat felt like she had rubbed sand paper on it.
Alan was gone.
She had lost everyone, their faces flashed through her mind in a slide show that went faster and faster with each rotation
Mom, Dad, Alan.
Mom, Dad, Alan.
Mom, Dad, Alan.
Over and over again, it made her dizzy, her knees buckled.
She felt the impact of the sidewalk but the pain no longer registered, the rain pelting her face felt like little needles being shoved under her skin.
He was gone.
They were all gone.
Kip could only look at the wet concrete, she felt heat on her face, she hoped it was the flames of Hell consuming her, she felt she was right at it's gate. No such luck, but she was close.
It was tears.
Alan was all gone.
Kip was alone.
They were all gone.
