The Truth About This Place
This was Casey and I's first day of school since the accident. I heard the school bell ring signalling the end of the day. I got up out of my set and grabbed Casey's stuff, she was fully healed but I still felt guilty about the accident. We were on our way to the host club when Mori stopped me and pulled me aside.
"What's up?" I asked
"I was wondering if you wanted to hangout after school?" I stared at him, completely caught off guard. I repeated the thing I've been saying to Casey over the last couple of weeks 'keep your distance'.
"I'm sorry Mori, but it feels wrong. I'm actually engaged to a man in my tribe, I'm was suppose to get married when I turn 18. Even though I have no attention of getting marry to him, it still feels wrong. Same goes for Casey." I lied, I nearly smacked myself on the head, I could have just said no. Mori nodded understanding. We walked together to the host club, then split up going to our different tables. I noticed Casey and I's table were surrounded by girls. I walked though them and sat down.
"I can't believe you too save those to girls!" one girl said
"Your so brave!" another yelled, I held up my hand to silence everyone.
"Listen, we did do what we did to get praise! We did it because it was the right thing to do! But thank you for your complements" I said calmly. All the girls had hearts floating above there head. I took a slip of my tea. Suddenly the doors to the club burst open. Standing there was Grimmjow Jaggerjack from Bleach and Gaara from Naruto. I spit out of tea and burst into a coughing fit, Casey sat there jaw nearly hitting the floor, looking at me like 'what in the world?'. All the girls had hearts in there eyes, and who could blame them. I stood up rubbing my eyes, still not believing this was happening. Grimmjow blue eyes fell onto me, he looked pissed. He pushed his way past all the girls that had surrounded him and stood there, only a couple of inches away from my face.
"Well, look what I found! A bluebird with a broken wing!" he smirked at me.
"You don't need to be so aggressive Sky, they know they can't escape us" Gaara added.
"Quinn, how can you be so calm after what these two traitors did!" Sky snapped. So I guess Grimmjow name in the host world is Sky and Gaara's name is Quinn.
"They are confused Sky, but don't worry they will be punished" Quinn said darkly.
"Gentleman, you are bothering our guest!" said someone, I don't know I was just staring at Sky, trying to figure out what in the world is a Bleach character doing in this world.
"I think It is time for our guest to leave" said Kyoya. At that Tamaki ushered the girls out apologising. Suddenly realised how close Sky was to me and took a step back. His attention snapped back to me, he grabbed my arm and yanked me closer.
"Where do you think your going! Trust me when I say I'll never let you leave me again" he snared.
"Hey! Let him go!" yelled honey. I look at Casey, who was looking at me confused, seeing if I knew what in the WORLD WAS GOING ON! I notice that Quinn had movement closer to Casey, and was watching her like a hawk.
"Him?" Sky looked at me confused, he knew, and he was going to exposed Casey and I's secret. Before he could say anything I cut in.
"Sky! Can I talk to privately?" I said urgently. For a moment I saw his eyes soften.
"Later, we leaving known!" he yelled.
"You are my fiancee, after all" he whispered. My heart dropped. WAIT FIANCEE! I don't remember getting married! Wait... I lied to Mori that I was engaged just a couple of minutes ago, and known there is a man with blue hair claiming to be my fiancé?
"Your coming with us! It is your destiny!" said Quinn grabbing Casey.
"Get your hand off of her!" I said jerking toward him. Sky tighten his grip on me.
"You should be worry about your self right know, not her" Sky said smirking, I glared at him. Quinn and Sky started to pull Casey and I toward the door, but the host club blocked the way. I could feel the tension in the air, can Sky and Quinn even fight? I had a feeling that they could, but I didn't want to find out. I didn't want anyone to get hurt.
"Guys please move, Casey and I can handle this. It's a family thing anyway so you don't need to get involved." I lied, no way could Casey and I handle this, we don't even know what is going on, but I didn't want them to get hurt. The host club look at each other trying to make up there mind. Slowly they moved to the side letting Sky and Quinn though (who dragged us with them). As I passed Honey he mouthed 'were coming after you', I nodded. They dragged us outside then through us into the back of a limousine climbing in after us. The limousine came to life and speed down the road. I felt a cold metal clamp around my wrist, I look down to see hand cuffs with a chain coming out of it which attached to the bucket whole of Sky's pants. I heard another click, I look over to see Casey getting the same treatment.
"This way you two can never escape us again" Quinn said softly. The rest of the ride was in silence. The limousine came to a stop, Sky got out first pulling my chain forcing my to follow him I stepped out of the limousine and was amazed by the sight. In front of me was a huge mansion! Which was a beautiful baby blue color. As we continued up the path we walked though this amazing garden. Sky looked back at me and noticed I was admiring the place, he smiled gently at me.
"Remember when we use to play in this garden? This is the first place we met." I gave him a confused look, not knowing what he was talking about. He nodded like he understood what I was saying. Maids opened the doors welcoming Sky home. We walk through the mansion, walking up flights of stairs and wondering corridors. Until we finally stopped at a door, Sky opened leading me. The room was empty except for two restraint chairs, which Casey and I where quickly put in and tied to.
"I sorry I had to do this Alex" Sky said sadly
"I am also sorry Casey" Quinn added the two of them left, and silence filled the room.
"What in the world is going on!?" Casey said looking at me.
"I think I've figured it out all the lies we made up about our pass have become true" I said thinking deeply
"We never said we were getting married" Casey objected
"Actually, Mori asked me if I wanted to hangout after school and I told him that I was engaged, so I felt wrong too hang out with him."
"But that's just you, so why am I engaged?"
"I said you were engaged as well, so that Kyoya wouldn't ask you to hang out. I was covering our basses" Casey started to laugh shaking her head slightly.
"Your always looking out for me, huh?" She said smiling
"Always" I smiled back. I jerked on my restraints trying to escape, failing miserably. I let out a loud sigh, we were trapped. Just like birds in a cage. Suddenly I felt dizzy, my vision began to blur, I could see myself as a child, I was staring at bird cage, at the trapped birds inside. I could feel a wave of emotion wash over me, I brought my small hands to my heart, I was trapped in this house just like those birds were trapped in that bird cage. I came back into reality, this was bad, THIS WAS HORRIBLE! Not only were are lies about our past coming true but our memoirs were changing to match are lies.
"Cas, I have bad news. I just had a flash back, but it wasn't a real one, it was one that this place put in my mind." I said sadly
"What are you saying?" She said confused
"The longer we stay here, the longer this place has time to make us part of this story. Soon we wont remember that we came from a different world, our made up back story will become true."
"Oh my god! What was your flash back of?" She said looking at me.
"It's not important, but I never lied about this vision I saw. So this place is filling in the blanks" I explained. She fell silent, and weird daze came over her eyes, when she came back I knew what had happened.
"You had a flash back didn't you?" She nodded confirming my thoughts.
Sky and Quinn walked back into the room looking grim. Quinn walked over to Casey and leaned down to unfasten the latches on the restraining chair and proceeded to roll her out of the room. I guess they didn't want to take the risk of taking her out of the chair. Quinn closed the door behind him leaving me alone with Sky. I noticed Sky walking over to the fireplace and started a fire. He picked up a metal rod with a circular design and put it in the fire.
"What in the world are you doing?" I looked at him, concerned for my safety.
"Heating up a branding iron." He said nonchalantly.
"A branding iron?! What is it for?" I could feel my heart sink slightly.
"Your father instructed me to brand you with our symbol as punishment for running away."
"Are you freaking crazy?!" I yelled, color fading from my face. Silence followed my exclamation. He was crazy and I was gonna be branded.
"What am I, a cow?"
"I would never say such a thing." He said sharply. I gripped the metal armrests till my knuckles turned white. I could feel anger coursing through my veins.
"Your words and your actions don't match." I retorted venomously.
"What do you expect from me?! This is your fault, you shouldn't have run away!" He snapped at me.
"Sky, I was just as trapped as you are right now." I said, trying to calm my tone.
"What do you want me to do? You know how I feel about you."
"What in the world are you talking about? You're not making any sense." He looked insulted, as if I would understand with ease what he was saying.
"I've spent my whole life preparing to be your husband...preparing to make you happy." He finished quietly.
"You're off to a bad start." I replied, sass rolled of my lips. His hand, which had been reaching for the branding iron, faltered. I noticed him hesitate and I continued, desperate to save my skin-literally.
"If you do this to me, I could never look at you again. I would hate you for the rest of my life. You know how stubborn I am." I softened my gaze as I looked into his eyes, trying to convey my emotions through them. He grabbed the branding iron, seeming to make up his mind and walked over to me, tense.
"You listen to me, I'm going to give you two options. Number one: Be branded by me right now and never be able to escape or number two: we leave this place, but you can never leave my side."
"Number two." I said, without hesitation. He smiled, seeming pleased with himself and released me. Right then we heard a loud crash in the room next door and I ran into the other room, concerned for Casey. I burst into the room and immediately stopped in my tracks. Casey's chair was knocked over with her still tied up in it, yelling at Quinn like crazy while he swung the branding iron around yelling back at her. I ran over and tackled Quinn. He lost his balance for only a moment before recovering.
"What the hell!" Quinn yelped, looking around for some kind of answer. Sky came storming in and immediately ripped me off of Quinn, holding me possessively. He glared down at Quinn and let out a low growl.
"Sky, let me go! Casey needs help!" He reluctantly released me and as I ran over to untie Casey he gingerly walked over to Quinn and whispered in his ear.
"What's going on? Are they letting us go?" Casey looked at me hopefully as I helped her stand up.
"Kind of. I'll explain later." I glanced at Quinn to see a small smile escaping his lips.
"Let's go, we have much to discuss." Quinn and Sky immediately turned on their heels and walked out the door as we followed.
"Where are we going?" I asked, suspicious.
"Your idiot friends have been waiting outside for an hour, probably trying to come up with some plan to 'rescue' you two." Sky said. Casey and I couldn't help but smile, despite our situation. Quinn walked over to a limo with tinted windows and knocked on the glass. The window rolled down to reveal what was obviously Honey wearing a fake moustache, a trench coat and inconspicuous black sunglasses. Casey and I both sweat dropped.
"Idiots" Sky muttered.
"Hello, sir. We are Italian business men here in Japan for the first time and we seem to be lost." Honey spoke in a fake and very bad Italian accent.
"Cut the crap." Sky said, opening the door and pushing me in, Casey following after me as we scooted over for Quinn and Sky. Sky glared at me and gestured for Casey to move next to Quinn as he plopped down between us, just close enough for our shoulders to be touching.
"Take us to his house. He seems to be the least stupid out of all of you." Quinn said, pointing to Kyoya. The limousine came to life and drove down the road. The tension in the air was suffocating but right now all I felt was relief. The car stopped in front of Kyoya's house. We all stepped out of the limousine.
"What happened?" Haruhi looked from Casey to me, concerned.
"It doesn't matter now. What happened, happened." I said, avoiding her eyes.
"I think we would all like to know what happened. How about we go into my study to discuss this further?" Kyoya said, examining us. We all proceeded into his house and made ourselves at home. I flopped down on the couch, exhausted from the drama and Casey sat next to me, putting her head on my shoulder and closing her eyes. I followed Casey's lead and we both feigned sleep, hoping they would leave as we tried to avoid their questions. We heard someone sigh.
"It seems that they're too tired to answer our questions so how about we discuss this tomorrow in the club?" Tamaki offered, in a rare serious tone. Everybody seemed to have a silent agreement and left.
"You two can wake up now." Kyoya said. Casey and I opened our eyes.
"Look Kyoya, Casey and I really don't want to discuss what happened today, all you need to know is that Sky and Quinn are going to be sticking around for a while." I said, glaring at Sky who just smirked back.
"What she means to say is that they need a place to stay and we were wondering if they could stay here with us." Casey said.
"I don't normally house kidnappers, but since you're asking I think I can make an exception." He said calmly, pushing his glasses up. I noticed Quinn tense up, sending death glares at Kyoya, who just shrugged them off.
"They can stay in the guest rooms across from yours." He turned to Quinn.
"It would be good of you to remember that my room is only a couple doors down the hall." Kyoya stated and then walked up the stairs to his room. Quinn huffed in annoyance as we walked them up to the rooms we were staying in.
"Casey we need to discuss some things, lets talk in my room." I said as I opened my door for her. She followed me into the room and we were surprised to see Quinn and Sky walking in after us.
"Excuse me, where do you think you're going?" Casey asked. Sky turned to me.
"We made an agreement. I hope you aren't rethinking being branded." Sky said. I looked at Casey, my eyes telling her we'd talk tomorrow and she nodded and left to her room, Quinn following after. I turned to Sky.
"Get out of my room." I snapped at him, having enough of seeing him. He let out a frustrated sigh.
"No." He said, flopping down on my bed and gesturing for me to join him. I let out a nervous laugh.
"That's not gonna happen. Either you're sleeping on the floor or I'm sleeping on the floor." I said, realising he wasn't going to use that guest room after all. He sighed and reluctantly slid onto the floor.
"If you need company, don't hesitate to ask." He said, seeming pleased with himself. I rolled my eyes and slipped into bed, not bothering to change. This was going to be a long night.
