I don't have the words for how much I dislike this chapter
Wow, wow, over fifty reviews! Still stoked!
... Can't wait till Star-Mu has it's own page here... I plan to write there too when it does.
Call it writer's block or something but I had a super hard time with this short little chapter. Hopefully the next one will be better.
Something like Suicide
Night Twenty-three- 055/056
Haruka sighed deeply. The only people left in the house were herself, Ren, Masa, Ai and Syo. She had hoped this small village wouldn't come between them. She knew that staying in one place for to long would tear them apart. Hayato, or rather Tokiya sometimes did crazy things when he found an amusing toy to plat with. Surely Eiichi would follow suit. Unfortunately Eiichi wouldn't just stop with one or two, he would probably tear the whole place to the ground to make Haruka happy.
She clicked her tongue and tapped her foot before heading to Masato's room. She would have to wait a while before moving Syo and Ai, but these two.
She sighed deeply before bringing her hand up to give a firm rap on the door. Just as she expected Ren answered opening the door only just enough for her to see his bare chest. "Am I interrupting?" She raised a well kept eyebrow at him.
"Yes." The strawberry blonde's normally cheerful voice gave off a slight distressed vibe.
Haruka scoffed. "I'll be back in a few minutes so hurry up."
He rolled his eyes before slamming the door shut.
While she waited, she made her way to Ai's room. Knowing the cyan haired teen well enough, she opened the door. Unlike the rest of her family he had obediently started to pack his things. His white duffle bag sat at the foot of his bed resting just above the head of a certain blonde.
"Haruka-sama." Ai greeted tilting his head.
"What an odd way to fall asleep." She mumbled more to herself.
"Is there something you needed?"
"I wanted to make sure you did as I told you too."
"Why wouldn't I?" He said bluntly, in that monotoned voice he usually used. "There is no sense in disobeying you since Syo would like to leave the village soon."
If she had stepped into the room more, the urge to pat him on his head would have won and her hand would have been swatted away like usual. But since she had only looked in form the doorway, she simply gave him a warm smile, one that was normally reserved for Natsuki.
She stepped back closing the door, telling Ai that he should rest soon. Again she made her way to Masato's room, this time to find the door already wide open.
"So soon?" She lifted an eyebrow at them.
The blue haired male blushed deeply while is partner smile. "What was it you needed?"
"Leave tonight." She said suddenly, sternly.
Masato blinked. "Is something wrong?"
Haruka shook her head. "It's nothing. Leave now. We will meet up in Tokyo at the hospital."
Ren threw a glance between the both of them. "Which one?"
"Masa will show you. I will be there in five days. If you aren't there I will assume the worst. Now go." She ordered.
They looked at each other before nodding.
"Sure."
"Yes Haruka-sama."
Nagi Mikado was not hiding under his blankets. He was not shaking in fear. But he was cursing his older brother Kira at that very moment. Because he did hear a very sarcastic and familiar voice charming his way into their home. At their first meeting the just barely teen deduced he didn't like that man, but that day just over a week ao was they day he decided he never wanted to see him again. At first he didn't realize it, but those hateful eyes had been following the brunette. The menacing presence from just those deep blue eyes was enough to frighten Nagi, and if they were following Eiichi he wanted nothing to do with the older man.
But, the more he thought about it the more he could see Eiichi's purple eyes looking like those that were hidden in the tree line. Dark, hungry, almost inhuman. That is what scared him the most. How could something so savage come into there house, sweet talk his brother like it was human. He didn't know what Eiichi was, but he wasn't like them.
"No, he's not here." Nagi heard Kira lie.
"Out so late? Would you like me to look for him with you?"
"He is at a friend's house. If you haven't heard one boy was found dead and another is missing. The one that is missing had a brother who is grieving." All very true, Nagi couldn't he'll but frown.
"You must mean Kaoru." Eiichi said, boredom apparent in his silvery voice. "If Nagi isn't here do you mind if I come in?"
There was a short pause. "Give me a moment to clean up." He must have shut the door in the brunette's face because the teen heard a click before his brother's footfalls grew louder. Kira swiftly opened Nagi's door. "Go to Kurusu's house."
"What?" Nagi bit back a yell.
"Go and don't look back. Kaoru will help."
His brother wasn't making any sense. Did he know something? But before he could open his mouth a sharp rap came to the door. "Almost done Kira?"
The raven haired man closed his brothers door giving a slight nod to the window as he did so. Nagi obeyed. Jumping down into the snow he made it to the other side of the house just to see a small rustling of the thicket. The same thicket he had seen those terrifying eyes.
He rushed to Kaoru's house after that without glancing back. The next morning he would come to regret that decision.
