Chapter Thirteen

Lies and Betrayal

I headed straight for bed.

I didn't even look at the doctor when I home. He was actually upstairs, but I didn't care enough to make a comment. It was late, and I was tired. I stumbled my way downstairs and headed for my room. It was designed to be a cell. When I needed to be locked up, it acted as my prison. It only opened one way. I yanked to door open and I slammed it behind me. I didn't even care I was locked in till the doctor decided to unlock the door. I shuffled over to my little bed and dropped dead.

"You're going to have to do it boy."

I sigh.

"I know. I'm not stupid."

He smirks.

"Just keep your end of the deal old man. I bring that kid back and you give me and Akki shots till we're gone."

He shakes his head.

"The girl doesn't deserve them. I mean, she's making you go out and get him even though you're in worse condition then she is."

I narrow my eyes.

"I won't do it if she dies."

He meets my gaze.

"You do realize she'll hate you after this is all over."

I look at Akki's door and can just make her out passed out on her bed.

"I know"

"And you don't care?"

"Akki is letting her emotions rule her. If bringing Ikuto in will save us, then I'll do it"

I head for the stairs.

"Aren't you only doing this for her? If so, you're letting your emotions rule you."

I don't answer. I just keep walking.

I had to do this.

That's all I could think as I left the house. Akki was fading. And so was I. We needed those shots. If Akki can't then I have no choice. I'll bring Ikuto in. No problem. I'd do it for her. It was dark outside. The only light came from the streetlights. The stars glittered above me. As I walked down the street I wondered where he was. I had to get him before Akki woke up. Or else there would be trouble. I turn a corner and walk down a nearly deserted street. No one was out. Good, no witnesses. I head for the park. I wasn't sure if he was there, but it was a start. As I walk I think about how Akki will react to Ikuto's capture. The thought sent shivers down my spine.

The park appeared to be empty.

No one was there. I walked around, looking for any signs of life. I was sure he'd be here. I sigh and flop down on a bench.

"Where is he?"

"Who?"

The new voice makes me jump. I turn around and there he is. Ikuto. I stand up.

"You actually"

He looks surprised.

"Me? And why is that?
He yawns and shoves his hands into his pockets. What did Akki see in him?

"No reason really. You don't know me. Shouldn't you be a bit concerned?"

He rolls his eyes.

"Fine then. Who are you exactly? And why were you looking for me?"

"You know a friend of mine."

"Who?"

"Akki"

Her name catches him off guard.

"How do you know Akki? And where is she?"

I smirk.

"You don't need to know where she is. And as for how I know her…were old friends."

"Akki didn't have any friends. Never did, except me and my sister."

He looks suspicious.

"I met her AFTER she ditched you."

That seems to piss him off.

"She didn't ditch us."

"Call it what you will, but she left you."

"Not out of spite."

"Yea out of obligation"

"What?"

I snort. The idiot had no idea what Akki gave up for him.

"Akki had no choice but to leave. And that's because of you. So everything that the old man did to her is your fault. She's dying right now because of you!"

I clench my fists. The idiot. If he hadn't been there, Akki never would have been hurt. She would be perfectly fine. Not half dead. And this jack ass didn't even realize what he caused.

"She's dying?"

His question surprises me.

"Yes, and she wouldn't be if the doc had you."

I narrow my eyes.

"You could save her. But you'd have to give up your own life. And I meant that literally. You'll probably die."

I drop my gaze.

"Or at least you'll wish you would."

His expression doesn't change as he absorbs my words.

I couldn't tell if he was thinking on what I said of if he was just ignoring me. Something told me it wasn't the latter. He looked away with a thoughtful look on his face. A tiny shugo chara appeared and sat on his shoulder. He seemed scared by Ikuto's serious face. But hey, it was freaking me out. I began to think about attacking him. I could take him no problem, but the doc wanted him alive. I just wanted him to disappear. I sigh.

"So?"

He looks up.

"Do you care enough to come with me without a fight? Or will I have to drag you back?"

He doesn't reply.

"Ikuto I'm serious."

"…I know that."

He breaks his silence.

"…Akki…she seemed fine earlier."

"She was technically. But that was because of a drug. And if you don't come she won't get it anymore. And she'll die."

I leave out the info that me and Akki both would die even with the drug.

He sighs.

"Fine."

I tense up.

"Fine?"
"Fine…I'll come with you."

I bolt out of bed.

I'm shaking and sweaty. I shake my head.

"A nightmare"

I pull the blankets up. Something bad just happened. And it had something to do with me. I lie back down. But the eerie feeling wouldn't leave, and I can't sleep.
