"It's going to be okay..."
The elevator door opened and the wheelchair entered, slowly getting crowded by people other then the two of them. It almost made Akio nervous, he adjusted the face mask to make sure his disguise was intact. Keitarou was covered in jacket as well on the wheelchair, his face hidden with a mask and a cap covering his head. He seemed unconscious and every person who looked at him made Akio nervous of being caught sneaking out a patient.
He took a deep breather once the crowd dispersed and he took his path towards the car parking, his feet began to get faster in a paranoia of being followed. He kept looking back and around nervously making his way towards a car but his feet suddenly stopped when he saw her.
The mess of black hair and glimmering blue eyes standing against Keitarou's car. He almost had a heart attack there, he couldn't think of how he could reason himself through this.
"Akio san" Her voice made him tremble, he was caught, now there was no way out, she was going to report him...it was practically kidnapping since Keitarou is pretty much drugged and carried out of the hospital in secret.
"I ONLY WANT TO SAVE HIM!" Akio ended up getting panicked and yelled at her.
She was standing with her arms folded resting her back against the car's door, she eyed him head to toe and narrowed her gaze for a moment.
"I understand" She said and walked away from the door, Akio was in disbelief for a moment. He pretty much had the idea that she would go off on him. Who wouldn't if they saw something like that?
Akio didn't waste time, he picked Keitarou up in his arms and settled him inside the car then hid the wheelchair behind the car before coming to confront Aoi.
"I will explain..soon, please believe in me!" Akio said. Aoi walked instead to Keitarou's side, she placed her hand upon his cheek. She leaned in through window and leaned close enough to Keitarou's face that even Akio seemed quite confused.
"She's right..it's like Haru..." She whispered.
"What?" Akio asked, he couldn't hear her mumbling that clearly.
She smiled and tapped his cheek "It's okay.. Natsuro is the only one for me" she mumbled again and backed away "bye bye" she said without even showing any regard to Akio and walked away.
Akio didn't have the time to try and understand what was going on, he simply got inside the car and drove it away quite rashly.
Aoi kept walking on with an eerie smile until she stopped, staring at a wall.
"You noticed?" Eventually a voice came from behind the wall
"Uzawa san..."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally done with showering, damn it would've been alot hectic if she hadn't already cleaned me. Standing is still hectic and I can't believe she left me in motel like that. I'm legit gonna kill her for that! That cab driver kept giving me those nasty eyes like I'm some vermin.
I'm not talking to her! no wait, if I don't talk to her how would I tell her I'm mad or kill her!?
Oh was that the door? Is dad back?
I used the wall as a support and made my way out of the room only to be terrorized and hide myself again
WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE!????? MARII SAN!!!
She seemed to notice the sudden movement and rushed my way. NO DON'T COME HERE!!
I tried to run back to my room but toppled in thin air and fell over. She also got down and grabbed at my arms pinning me to the floor sitting on my back.
"YUKI..WHERE'S MY YUKI...WHERE'S SHE HIDING HER...?" She seemed quite frantic.
Yuki san? come to think of it where is she?!
"Ouch!" I flinched as she put her weight on my back "I don't know! I don't, please get off my back! it really hurts!" I pleaded
"Tell me Aoi is lying..tell me...tell me Yuki isn't with him!" She kept mumbling frantically.
I barely turned my head to look at her from the corner of my eyes.
Is that the same girl that used to be such a b**ch in college until an year ago?
No..she used to be pretty enough to use her looks for evil purposes back then...or..was she always like this? Perhaps her mask wore off? That slender small figure, those brown hair that almost look like hay now...those eye bags and broken bitten off nails, those scratch marks, her bleeding feet...
I gave her a light push and she fell back...
I was right..she's...
"Aoi...Aoi says he took Yuki..I saw...he...the bracelet I gave to Yuki he wore...the bracelet...she's gonna end like Haru! I can't!" She went on speaking incoherently...
Am I supposed to pity her...? She almost got me ganged up in college..and with Kei san...she got him worst...isn't this Karma? doesn't she deserve it?
Stop! What am I thinking! since when did I get so vengeful!
I helped her up "I don't know where she is but sit down and take a breath, I'll help you"
I can't do this to her....she's not mentally well...I'll call the hospital after I get her to calm down. I can only imagine..the pain of losing your loved one like she did. Yuki san was right, she was not always like this I think...she was made into this...The one who started this is more evil..she's just mentally disturbed...yeah I have to think like that! I can't get vengeful or I'll end up like her too.
She got up though suddenly pushed me and ran out of the apartment. I tried to follow up but couldn't , she was fast on her legs and I had a huge disadvantage with legs at the moment.
I got my cell phone and thought of calling dad first but then I thought it might be too hard to stress him right now so I dialed up father.
"Hello father?"
"Natsu?! You okay boy?" Father seemed quite worried that I called, I explained everything to him
"Okay okay we're coming right over, we were out anyway..stay put and lock the doors, don't open it for anyone, check the windows too" Father instructed and I almost nodded as if he's seeing through that gesture through the phone or something.
I started to lock the fort down...
Yuki san.. I hope you are alright...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Long time no see Aoi" Mr Uzawa said sitting across the table to Aoi, neither of them had touched their tea, the atmosphere was heavy.
"Same to you Uzawa san" Aoi replied.
"I have to say I was indeed surprised that you broke out little Mari when you were the one who got her caught in the first place, did you have a change of heart of did it have something to do with this bracelet?" Mr Uzawa said flashing the bracelet in his wrist.
"How is your sister, Uzawa san?" Aoi took the initiative in taking the tea.
"I see so you had an eye on me too, I'm impressed..that is why I'm playing along to whatever you're trying to do..." Mr Uzawa took the tea as well "Sending Rena to me with a plan to get a confession out of me is not like you, I could tell already that this was some other kind of trap"
"If you know its a trap then why wear the bracelet?" Aoi asked calmly.
"Because I want to see whatever it is that you want to set me up with, it seems that Mari reacted to whatever you wanted her to react to... though I can somehow feel that you're trying to get my daughter to kill me" Mr Uzawa smirked.
"You're saying weird things Uzawa san..." Aoi replied.
"I can see through you, you can't deny that's what you're intending to do..too bad Mari is too afraid of me to do any of that" Mr Uzawa said with a triumphant look as Aoi finished her tea.
"I am not denying, all I'm saying is why would I need Mari to kill you?" Aoi placed the cup on the table and looked up at Mr Uzawa with a bent head and dark expression that almost made Mr Uzawa gulp down hard. Aoi stood up ready to leave.
"One more thing.." Mr Uzawa frowned a bit.
Aoi paused momentarily "What"
"Who am I talking to? Is it Himari Aoi or Himari Yeoa?" Mr Uzawa asked.
"Yeoa? what a funny name..who's that?" Aoi gave off a mocking chuckle.
"It is a funny name you're right, nevermind that..." Mr Uzawa finished his tea as well "I'll change the question then...why didn't you stop Mr. Akio? You know what I'm upto don't you?"
"Why would you ask me that? Natsuro is the only one I care about...." Aoi responded.
"Is he the new Haru chan?" Mr Uzawa said.
"Haru is Haru, Natsuro is Natsuro" Aoi waved back and walked away
"Natsuro...huh?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"This is bad, both Akio and Kei san are missing from the hospital, I just called, they are also freaking out looking for them..the cops suspect Akio took him" Father said.
Dad? Why would dad do something like that?! What's going on with dad at all?! it's like he's losing his mind. He used to be so possessive and over caring about me and now he doesn't even come home..he barely checks up on me anymore..is he mad? is he mad that I talked rudely with him that day? Or does he feel that strongly about Kei san?
"It's okay, you really look like you want to go..stay out of trouble and find him" Alex guy reassured him "I'll stay with Natsuro kun tonight..i'll keep him safe"
"I'm also worried about you" Father said.
"I can protect myself, go ahead" The guy replied, damn they're acting so cheesy I kind of want to kick them, they're so embarrassing, acting like a couple and all even though they say they aren't.
"Alright..but keep the door locked, don't open it for anyone unless you know who it is, if there is any danger call the cops...and call me too!" Father went on instructing, I imagined both of us as little goats getting instructed by the mama goat to be aware of the wolf.
"I get it mom, now go" The guy rolled his eyes, damn we are even thinking the same thing.
Father still seemed hesitant but he kissed my forehead and gave Alex a kiss on the cheek before getting out of the door.
What am I a grade schooler?!
"What am I a school boy?" Alex said before he locked the door from inside. Okay, is this guy reading my brain or something?
"What now?" I asked him, it was dark but still early for sleep.
"You up for any movies?" He asked
"Don't select a horror one and I'll be fine" I replied
"That makes me want to select a horror one even more" He said with an evil expression.
"Sadist" I mumbled "I'll get some popcorn ready, get some pillows from my cupboard make yourself cozy"
"Roger that" He replied.
"Hey.." I held his shirt just when he was about to walk away for some reason.
"Hmm..?" He asked
"Is dad...going to be..okay...?" why am I asking him that? gosh what's wrong with me..? Father said he'll find him..yet why do I feel a sinking feeling..?
He smiled at me and came at me instead, hugging me without giving any other response.
Eh..what is this? My arms slid up his back and I squeezed him in tightly...I guess he knew well what i needed at the moment.
"You'll end up making me cry" I said, we remained in that state for a while
"Sorry sorry..you just did that back when I felt a moment of weakness, so I thought I'd return you the favor" He parted "Feeling any better?"
"A little" I took a deep breath
"I'll select something humorish to lighten up the mood..don't worry" He said
"Hey..How old are you?" I asked out randomly
"I'm almost 26, I work as a pharmacist.. I'm extremely passionate about experimentation and biology, I have a degree in biochemistry too, is that much?" He told whilst sitting down on the couch looking for movies on Internet
"What..about your family..?" I asked hesitantly, he paused a little "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to pry! I just wanted to know more"
"It's okay...my family passed away when I was a kid, since one of my parents was an alpha, they left me quite an inheritance..but I usually put that earning out to an orphanage...I like earning for myself and I don't like using my late parents' money for illegal activities..since I do those alot" He smiled almost mocking himself
"What about..." I didn't want to offend him but..
"Yes, I used to have a pair but that person did me wrong in many ways so.." He read my mind without even completely asking "But why so many questions?"
"Ah! it's just..you seem like a good person..and I've never really had a.." I fiddled with my thumbs
"Friend?" He read my mind yet again
"At school nobody wanted to hang out with an omega kid who was open and shameless about it..same at college..people just want to stay away from people that come with alot of baggage..." I bent my head "While dad has been there for me all along..but that doesn't count as a friend...nor does Aoi san...she's not exactly a friend nor did she approach me as one.." I swallowed a lump "I'm not sure how to feel about father either since I just had accept him after he randomly entered in my life one day..even though he's trying to make things right now but I can't overlook that he did dad wrong..and Kei san is..."
"I see..." He responded, he had been listening with full attention "Why not?"
"Hmm?" I tilted my head in confusion and he gave out a light smile
"I'll be your friend"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"I feel bad that you'd forget me Yeoa.." Aoi mumbled sitting in front of the mirror combing her dark rivulets.
She pinned her flicks back and pinned a flower near her ear wearing a red frilly gown. She did her makeup lining her eyes nicely with a brush in red and putting on a scarlet lip paint. She got up leaning close to the mirror and puffed her breath on it
She placed her finger with red painted nails against the foggy area drawing with her finger
'AOEY is YEOA'
She then watched the fog disperse, she got up walking to the middle of the room barefoot and got on her tiptoes starting to whirl. Her frilly gown bloomed like a flower whilst she kept on laughing
"I remember...I remember you now Aoi...."
