Chapter 9: Kidnapped Love
Kaito's P.O.V.
3:41 a.m.
As soon as I felt that everyone in the house was asleep, I wasted little effort sneaking out of my room quietly, and quickly making my way towards Tanaka's room. I knew he was the only one still awake; other than myself. So I leaned against the nearby wall towards his desk, and eyed the brunette as he continued to look over the many papers on his desk. With a weak cough escaping his lips, he finally mumbled, "It's going to take about a week or two for things to get back on track, Kaito. There's possibilities of it being longer if Len doesn't get his mind back to normal. I would run a diagnosis on him, but this is a mental problem that I simply can't do anything about. Besides; it's better that than the absolute worst." He paused in the midst of writing and took off his glasses; only to pinch the bridge of his nose.
Not moving from my position, I responded, "And the absolute worst is the scandal going out to the public. Why? ... Because there's no recovering the company after everyone hears about how used-to-be innocent Kaito, put his hands on little ol'Len like the defenseless pup he is-" I paused near the end once a small laugh broke out of me. This had caused Tanaka to glare at me, and yet I shrugged it off. "Getting mad won't change the situation; so you might as well start planning ahead if you want to keep your income flowing in."
"And how do you go about planning ahead? Everything is unexpected up to this point, and we can't plan ahead if we don't know what we're going to deal with next." He responded.
"Correction. You can't plan ahead, and you're aware of this. You know damn well you wanted me back to help cover your ass, other than to make Len appear normal-" Before I could continue, he interrupted me to say, "And if you know this, then why are you toying around and not helping yet?! ... Kaito, you're both sly and smart. My intelligence only go towards computer and genetic science, along with business. ... The hell would I know how manipulate a situation as if I'm mind screwing everyone I see!" His face contorted into a bitter expression as he stared at me with stress filled eyes.
Of course I would have to toy around, you damn fool. Just doing things right then and there wouldn't make much sense if everything is still on hot water. ... The first step in moving forward is to lower everyone else's guard. Get everyone nice and comfortable in the house. Slowly, but surely, crack Len little by little with every chance I get. ... I've already gotten a good crack on him with me not being here, but I have to make him willing to do anything. Just enough for me to lure him towards the idea of me taking him far away from here. If he doesn't get to the point of being completely defenseless; I'll haven't the choice but to resort to other methods.
Besides. Who the hell said I was going to help Tanaka? Dell probably gave him the impression that I would, or allowed him to think that I was going to. Whichever it may be, it's not going to happen. My current plan is to ease everyone on down, ... and then fuck everything up. This house will be far from a home to Len, and I may be going after Miku and Rin near the end, but I'm smart enough to know that Tanaka will try to do some shit if he realizes that I'm not going to protect him for shit. Because of that, I'll make sure to fuck his life over like there's no tomorrow. Hell. He might as well start making plans to become a male prostitute, or committing suicide once I'm done ruining all his life-work.
With that thought lingering in my mind, I gave a half smirk and told him, "... Relax. Everything will be in my care. I'll have Len back to normal, but you're going to have to be patient" and with that, I began to make my way towards the door, exiting out his room quietly.
To think a man that acts like a bitch has the slightest control of this house is a disgrace. But I can't think about that too much. I gave a heavy sigh as soon as I stepped outside of his room. I glanced off to my right and viewed the different doors along the hallway, and although it was dark, I could still make out the outline of Len's door. Unconciously I reached for my right pocket to pull out a single cigarette, quickly sticking it between my lips as I stood by Tanaka's door, staring quietly at oak-wood door.
Nights like these, I wouldn't even be talking to Tanaka. ... I'd be laying beside you, baby doll. My eyes automatically closed as I allowed my head to lean against the wall. And you'd be so good to me by opening those cute lips, only to give me the opportunity to suck on your sweet tongue. ... And you're so close. "Yet so far." The words escaped my lips after I opened my eyes back up.
Eyeing his door for a couple of more seconds, I then began to make my way towards the opposite end of the hallway. It didn't take too long for me to reach my room and slip myself inside.
6:07 a.m.
"I highly doubt it should take a week for Shuu to be released. If you're telling me a week, then you're not trying hard enough. The estimated time is two to three days. Explaining to the judge that being a runway, and a minor alcoholic aren't strong enough reasons to keep him there. Especially for so long; knowing that no one ever came to check up on him." I held my cellphone up to my ear as I sat on the edge of my bed.
Water still dripped from the tips of my hair, knowing how I got out the shower eight minutes ago. Nothing, except for a towel around my waist, was worn. The black tank top and sweats I was going to wear was sprawled out on the rest of my bed, and yet I didn't attempt getting dressed just yet.
"I know, I know. I'm going to talk to the judge within an hour, and hopefully it'll take two days for the process to run through. Till then, I'll talk to you later. Haku will be swinging by over there to give you some information about that psychiatrist." Dell told me.
"Good. Call me once you get the expected time for Shuu-." (Knock, Knock s.f.x.) A soft knocking sound, along with the sound of my doorknob turning had caused me to quickly hang up the phone and dart my gaze towards the door. Who the fuck? I slowly stood from my bed until the door cracked open enough for a certain blonde to quickly slide himself in, and rapidly, yet carefully, close and lock the door.
I struggled grasping onto his presence, but that was till he hurriedly turn around and nearly ran across the room, knocking himself into me with open arms. "Kaito-Nii!" He whispered loudly as he buried his face onto my torso. Not refusing to return the contact, I let out a breath and wrapped an arm around him and welcomed him into my embrace.
I can never refuse your contact so easily. "Len, why are you up so early? And you're not supposed to be near my room." I calmly whispered to the boy; causing him to perk his head up and look at me with those crystal-blue, doll-like eyes. A smile filled with sweetness carved his lips so beautifully as he looked at me.
"B-But I knew this was the only way for me to be with you" How could you say a sentence like that, and not expect me to be in love with you. I eyed him quietly as I allowed for my thoughts to roam freely. "... They think you did something, but it wasn't you. The Kaito I know wouldn't do naughty things l-like the man in the video" I rose a brow at him as soon as I heard him mutter those very words. He's cracking very loosely. ... Good.
My hand roamed from his back, all the way up to the top of his head.
I felt the corner of my lips curve upwards into a small smile as I roamed my fingers through his soft, angelic, hair. "But Len; if you really like me, then you'd accept me even if I did express physical emotions. ... There's only one of me. Just how there's only one of you." And with that, his eyes snapped open wide. "O-One...of you?" He quietly muttered out. I nodded my head slowly and continued, "But Rin and Miku were wrong for making me go away from you" I'm going to kill those bitches "and I was very upset that I couldn't see you anymore, because you're my only favorite. Did you know that, Len?"
Slowly his porcelain colored cheeks grew a faint reddish tint onto them.
"I-I am? ...K-Kaito ...you're my favorite, too" He cutely stammered out right when I moved my hand down to cup his left cheek. That's right, baby. You love being fed my attention.
"That makes me very happy to know. But it makes me sad to know that you don't accept all of me. ... When you accept everything, I promise you that you'll fall in love with everything. Then soon comes curiosity, and I want you to know that you don't have to be afraid of time that you are. I'll be here to show you something far more sweeter than anything in the world." I whispered to the dazed blonde. "You love sweets, right?" He nodded his head. "Accepting me-. No. Accepting us will open many things for you, Len. I only tell you this because I care about you more than anyone else in the world."
"You care about me?" The color of his cheeks darkened far more within a second. "I-I don't know what to say, b-but I want to accept all of you. B-Because I was sad when you left. I thought I'd never see you again, and I-I'd never tell you th-that ..." He trailed off for a second. Never be able to tell me what, baby doll? I silently contemplated.
"Never tell me that-?" "I have a crush on you." He spilled out as he interrupted me.
And at that very moment, my breath was caught in my throat all of a sudden.
This boy had a crush on me?
This cute slice of my heart and life admitted to having a crush on me. And even though he didn't tell me that he was in love with me, words can't explain how happy I am at the moment.
"I-I hope this doesn't ruin our friendship, Kaito-Nii. I promise I'll stop-" I then pressed a finger against his lips and hushed him.
I don't even want you around other people anymore.
"Don't. It honestly makes everything better."
If I mean so much to you to the point you allowed your heart to open for me; even if it's just a crack, then what are we waiting for?
"D-Does this mean that you...?" He shyly stammered.
I'll give you all the attention you want from me and more. I promise you everything.
Grabbing onto his smaller, soft hands; I kneeled down to the floor so I was eye-level with him. "Len. We can be happy with just the two of us, but as long as we're here, there won't be such thing as happiness for you. ... But if you want to know and accept all of me, then you'll tell me through your pretty lips that you'll be with me. And once you're with me, I'll make you the happiest" crazed "person to ever be with me" to ever be as obsessed as me. "And I promise to teach you what love feels like; cause that's all I have to offer to you." Along with getting rid of all of your housemates. Let's not forget me making you into my cute, little, whore. Oh yes I will! You're gonna be the most nastiest, freakiest, dick-crazed whore I'll ever make. For who? For me God dammit!
He stared at me wide-eyed in silence.
But the moment I felt his hands grip onto my own in return, my heart quickened its pace.
"... Kaito. Wh-Where are we going to go? A-And what about everyone, and Tanaka? Will everyone allow us to live in a separate home?" He softly questioned.
Maybe through financial negotiation; cause money talks when it come towards Tanaka. But I'm not going to take Len just yet. ... Like I said to Tanaka. Doing things right then and there while things are still on hot water is a dangerous move to play, unless I get Len to stop giving a damn about everyone. But if people around us keep trying to get into our business; I swear to, not God, but Lucifer himself that I'll play my ace card.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of everything, but till then, just stay be patient. ... And this is our little secret."
