Never To Betray You Again
Chapter Eleven
"Why don't you be honest to me even for ones?"
Kei's words keep on ringing in his ears. What do Kei means when he said that to him? Is that about what he said the night he was drunk. He can't really remember anything because he was too drunk. But he was aware that whenever he was drunk he tend to say something he can't say when he was sane. He wonder if he talk about the past to him. But even he did, Kei will not care since he have amnesia and he can't remember anything at all. He will not bother about it since he can't understand what he was talking about.
The younger guy said that he wanted to tell him something. Kei have a mysterious tone as if he will going to reveal something that will surely shocked his life. But before he was able to spill it out his phone ring and when he look at the screen it was a new number he didn't know. Since he received the call days ago, he was panicking when someone unknown was calling his number. He excused himself for a moment and Kei just let him go.
"YO… IT'S BEEN A WHILE." a robotic voice said from the other line. It was the same altered voice he received before and so he already knew that it was the same individual who was talking. Kota planned on not talking to him but his next words stopped him from doing it. "DON'T BOTHER ENDING THIS CALL. I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW AND WHO ARE YOU WITH."
Kota stopped what he was planning. He looked around searching for a suspicious person from the building surrounding the apartment where he was in but the caller said that he should not bother since he will never find him. He was being more agitated about the situation knowing that the caller can see Kei with him and it may cause a problem in the future. He didn't want Kei to get involved in the situation he was in. "AFTER KILLING SAKURA MINATO… ARE YOU ENJOYING YOUR LIFE? NOT BEING PUNISHED FOR A CRIME YOU DID… YOU SURE LIVE A GOOD LIFE, AREN'T YOU?"
"Wh..who are you? Tell me who you are." Kota ordered. The caller didn't call for days and so he thought that it was just really a prank but now he was back and talking to him personally.
"WHY? ARE YOU GOING TO HUNT ME? I DOUBT YOU CAN DO THAT… NOT THIS TIME. DO YOU WANT TO PLAY A GAME? YOU JUST NEED TO FIND ME… AND REVEAL MY IDENTITY."
"Huh? What are you talking about."
"WILL PLAY A GAME. IT'S A GUESS WHO GAME. YOU JUST NEED TO IDENTITIFY WHO I AM AND IF YOU FAIL ALL OF YOU… ALL THE 5 MEMBERS OF BLAZERS WILL DIE. IF YOU DIDN'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN YOU NEED TO FIND OUT WHO I AM IMMEDIATELY OR ELSE IT WILL BE LATE FOR EVERYONE OF YOU."
"is this a prank? If it is then this is not funny anymore. Who are you anyway? What do you know? Why are you doing this?"
"LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY IF YOU DON'T WANT THINGS TO MESS UP. FROM NOW ON YOU WILL GOING TO BE MY PAWN… YOU WILL MOVE ACCORDING TO WHATEVER I SAY AND IF YOU DISOBEY THEN… I'LL GIVE YOU A PUNISHMENT I KNEW YOU CAN'T ENDURE. FROM NOW ON… THE LIFE OF THE OTHER 4 MEMBERS OF THE GROUP LIES UPON THE PALM OF YOUR HAND."
"This is… a revenge for Sakura's death?" he asked monotonously.
"SAKURA DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG AND SO… WHY DO YOU NEED TO KILL HER? WHY DO YOU NEED TO TREAT HER LIKE A TRASH AND MOLESTED HER LIKE SHE WAS NOTHING?!" the voice from the other line asked but Kota was not able to answer that. "NEVERMIND… I DON'T CARE ANYMORE ABOUT YOUR ANSWER. ANYWAY… IT SEEMS LIKE KANATA IS IN DANGER… WHY DON'T YOU COME AND HELP HIM… IF YOU CAN STILL SEE HIM ALIVE." the caller said coldly and just after that the call ended.
While still processing what the caller said his phone ring again and this time it was Kanata's number. He instantly answer the call wondering what he was planning to say."Kota… save me…" he heard him said. He gasped, biting his lower lips. "So…someone was following me. I… I'm on my way home." he continued. It was obvious that his voice was shaking in fear. The call ended when he was just about to dropped a question and that moment he already felt that something bad might happened to Kanata like what the caller said. He went back to Kei, asked permission to go which Kei agreed instantly. He really didn't want to leave him alone but he have no choice. If the caller said was true then he was the only one who can save Kanata since he was the only one who knew about his situation.
He run downstairs while trying to contact Kanata again but his phone was turned off and even how many times he redial it was useless. He exited the apartment building and this time he was not sure if he will going to bring his car or not. But he have a bigger problem, he only knew the old address of Kanata but he remembered ones that his family transferred to a new place and he don't have any idea where it was. "Where is his place?" he asked to himself, trying to remember if Kanata spit it to him ones but his mind was not functioning that moment.
He tried to contact the other members of Blazerz again but they were not responding as well making him pissed off. He have no time to waste and in his mind he can imagine what might happened to Kanata at this moment that he was doing nothing. While running he stopped and remembered that Kanata was in the same club as Hikaru and he was sure he still have his old friend's number. Searching his contacts, he found it easily but it's his number when they are in high school and there is a possibility that he change it. There's no time for hesitation, he need all resources in order for him to search for Kanata's residence and help him. He called that number and with just 3 rings he heard a familiar voice. He can't believe Hikaru will answer his call instantly or maybe he didn't know that it was his number.
"Who is this?" Hikaru asked.
"This is Kota…" he said and before Hikaru end the call because he knew he didn't want to hear his voice, he stopped him by saying that it was urgent and really important. "I … I need something."
"Your asking a favor to someone who hate you the most? How thick is your guts…"
"I promise I will not call you ever again but I wanted you to tell me where Kanata is living." Kota said. "I knew that you are in the same club and so… you knew right… please tell me."
"Why do I need to tell you such information?"
"Please I beg you Hikaru… Kanata is in danger right now and I need to save him." Kota plead but Hikaru didn't say a thing after that. "Hikaru.. Please…"
"Danger? What do you mean?"
"There's no time for explanation." Kota insisted and so Hikaru give him the address that he needed. He thanked him for giving the information and after that he dashed going to that place Hikaru mentioned. He was glad that it was just near their area and he doesn’t need to drive. He wished that he was still fine and nothing bad happened to him. He dashed on that long road of uncertainty, hoping that he can still make it in time. He stumbled a little but he still continued and even already out of breathe he focus on searching for him. He finally arrived at his place of destination but he can't see Kanata anywhere. He tilt his head from left to right, making sure that he can find him.
His eyes suddenly stick on a pitch dark alley and while focusing on it he saw a glimpse of an arm on the ground. He immediately entered that alley and approached that person lying on the ground. He confirmed that it was really Kanata and his face was swollen and bleeding. It seems like he was mob by bad guys and tortured until they were satisfied. "Kanata… Kanata answer me… are you alright?" he asked in a desperate tone. The blood terrified him because it reminded him of what happened to Sakura but he can't leave Kanata just like that. "Kanata…" he called again.
"Hoy… what happened to him?" Kota heard a voice from the back and when he turned it was Hikaru who was catching his breathe. It seems like when he heard that Kanata was in danger he got worried and he also came to search for him. He approached the two and noticed that Kanata was not in a good condition.
"Let's bring him to the hospital." Kota told him which Hikaru agreed on instantly. They both grabbed his hand at each side and brought him to the nearest hospital in the area. The doctor immediately attended the patient while Kota and Hikaru just waited outside the emergency room. Hikaru called Kanata's parents and told them what happened but he didn't know how to explain it in detail because he didn't say everything. After informing Kanata's parents, he sit down on the same bench Kota was sitting down.
"How did you know… he was in danger?" Hikaru asked him.
"He called me." Kota replied softly.
"Ahh yeah… I forgot that two of you have connections to each other… I thought you cut all ties you have when you spent your 3 years hidden in your own place.." Hikaru told him coldly. "Why didn't you just remained hidden? I felt great when I am not seeing you around but now the view in front of me became uglier."
"Please stop this Hikaru." Kota uttered.
"Stop what?" Hikaru asked as he shrugged his shoulder. "I am not starting anything here.. I am just saying the truth. It's just a statement… just a statement." he repeated.
Kota sighed and stand up from where he was sitting down. Things are awkward between Hikaru and him and he can't stand being like that and so he just decided to go. "I'll come back tomorrow. Please take care of him while his parents was not around."
"Tsk… you’re a coward as always.. Running away when you can't handle the situation you are in." Hikaru said. "Ne… can you remember what I told you before? That time that you betrayed me as your friend?" he asked again raising his right eyebrow. Kota just stared at him without saying anything at all. "Let me remind you… my grudge against you was not yet over and so the words I told you before was still taking effect… I will not make you have a happy life. Everything that you own… I'll steal everything from you"
"Don't worry… I am not finding happiness anymore and also… you have nothing to steal besides I don't own anything from the very beginning." Kota said, bowed down and then exited the hospital. He then noticed a car arrived and Kanata's parents came out. He didn't wait anymore for the result of Kanata's condition but he prayed he was alright. He walked way home while still thinking about what just happened. Without hesitation he came for his rescue even all this years he cursed the whole members of Blazerz for making his life miserable. It's all their fault why he is in his situation right now but in the end he can't just leave them alone. The words the caller told him, from now on the life of his mates will be in the palm in his hand, seems holding a big responsibility. What was that caller planning to do? Is he planning to hurt everyone of Blazerz? Is death waiting for them?
All his energy was drained because of what happened. He just wanted to rest and sleep everything but he knew can't do that. At night, everything just become worst. In the silence of the night, in the darkness of the place , it just tortured him more. The heavenly night was a hellish torture to someone like him.
He finally reach the apartment, rode the elevator and went down his floor. He passed through Kei's room and he stop there for a moment. Lots of things happened that day like it's a year that passed. Kei's unit was in silence and so he maybe he was already deeply sleeping. He can't disturbed him anymore but he remained standing in front of his place. He felt so alone like no one can help him with the situation he was in. His mind tells him that he needed someone who can help him but he doesn't have anyone who can lend him a hand. People who cares for him are gone, he can't involved his parents with his problem as well, neither people who he just met.
He lean his head on the door of unit 32. "What should I do? Kei… what should I do?" he whispered as he was in the verge of tears.
…
Kei opened the door of his apartment but there is no Kota who was waiting for him. It was unusual to happened and he can't help thinking that something bad might happened to him. The door of his unit was locked like it doesn't have any intentioned to be opened from inside. Maybe the conversation that they have last night was making things awkward for him but it might be a good thing since he didn't know how to face Kota as well. After everything that he said last night, he was not sure anymore if he can tell him what he wanted to say that was interrupted by that certain call.
It was a little early compare to his usual time to go to school and Kota might still be sleeping. He went back inside his room looking for something that he left. He found it easily and when he take a look at the clock it just a minute that passed by. He sit down for a moment thinking if there are still things that he left. He stayed like that for 15 minutes as if waiting for the time to past by.
Finally he stand up and decided to go. He opened the door and found no one in the corridor. He make sure he locked the door before he walk going to the elevator. He waited for a moment before he click the button and then waited again for the elevator to reach his floor. He sighed and then stared at the staircase area where one of the working girl from the party the other day was rushing on her way down. Finally the elevator reach his floor and when it opened it was empty. Kei didn't move to his position even the elevator was widely open in front of him. After a few more seconds it closed again and went down.
"Kei." Kei heard Kota called. He instantly look at the same direction where he heard the voice but it was just an empty corridor with no one around. He realized that it was just his hallucination and so he avert his eyes away in an instant feeling, embarrassed about what just happened. The elevator comes back again and this time he entered it. "Wh… what am I doing?" he asked to himself.
He decided to ride the bus since there is no one who will going to send him to school. He knew that it will be hard for him but he set his mind from the very beginning that he will used it for transportation. While walking towards the bus station, he was still thinking about his bizarre actions in the apartment. Why is he waiting for Kota and why did he hear his voice even he was not there?
A car horned and stopped in front of him. The side window in the passenger seat area opened and he was surprised to see Daiki stick his head outside and give him a warm greeting. He offered him a lift which he easily accepted because it was his best friend who asked him. As he sit down besides Daiki he was greeted by the driver who he easily recognized. It was the same man who give back his wallet when it was stolen one day. Daiki was surprised that the two already met and because of that it was easy to introduced the two to each other.
The guy who was driving was Yuya Takaki, the one who was taking care of Daiki right now. His best friend always talked about him but this was the first time that he was introduced formally to him. He was wearing a formal attire giving him a different aura when he first met him in the market where he was just wearing a casual clothes.
"Thank you very much for giving my wallet back." Kei said for the second time.
"I didn't know that you are the one Daiki talking about.I heard that you came from Katagawa… are you already getting the hang of… living in the city which is really different from your residence before?" he asked.
"Everyone in the apartment I am living was nice and so… I kinda… getting used to it but still it's really hard specially to someone like me."
"I think it's better for you to go back to your birth place. Someone like you doesn't suit to leave in the city."
"Yuya… don't be so rude." Daiki told him.
"I am just telling the truth." Yuya said directly. "If normal people like us was having a hard time already then how about someone like him who have a handicap? Why are you searching for trouble when you are already living in a safe place back to your town? And also you are living all alone right? It will be a big problem if you end up in a miserable situation." he added. He may sound offending but Kei can sense that he was just concern with his situation so he was saying those words.
"You might be right but… when I decided to go to the city I am all aware of the possible thing that might happened to me. I am ready… to face everything." Kei said positively. "besides I am not alone… Daiki is here and so I am not really that worried."
"I can't believe you are relying your fate to a clumsy guy like him." Yuya commented and that just made Kei chuckled since he knew that Daiki was really clumsy which might be the reason why Yuya said it that way. Daiki pouted when he heard that he was now the center of the conversation of the two.
…
Kota was not able to sleep that night like what he expected and when the morning came he was not in the mood to drive Kei to school. He also didn't want to go to school and attend his class since his mind was not functioning very well. He stayed in his apartment for the whole morning without doing anything and when afternoon arrived he decided to visit Kanata in the hospital and check on his condition. He didn't informed the Blazerz yet about what happened to Kanata since he didn't know how he will going to tell him that the caller contacted him again and told him about a game and revenge that he wanted.
He reached the hospital and looked for Kanata's room that the nurse told him when he asked in the front desk. He knocked first before he opened the door and he was surprised when he saw Kanata swallowed something at the exact time he entered. He instantly grabbed the plastic that he was holding and take a look at it. Kanata snatched it away from him, hiding it at his side. "Kanata… that was… I thought you already stop taking it."
"Stop? Are you crazy? There's no way I can stop taking this." Kanata answered him. Except for the bondage on his head and some cuts and bruises on his hands, he was acting fine. "This is my life." he smirked while showing him the plastic again. Kota tried to snatched it away but Kanata was able to dodged it. "How did you sneak that in? if the nurse found out about that then… you will be in trouble." Kota warned him.
"It's not your concern anymore." Kanata replied back.
Kota sighed. "What happened last night? Tell me what happened to you?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
"But Kanata… who did that to you? Who hurt you?" he asked desperately.
"I told you I didn't know!" Kanata shouted back at him and he was even hit by a pillow sent flying towards him. "I don't want to remember… I don't want to remember anymore. I don't want to recall what happened." he keep on repeating but he started to acting differently. "Shit… Shit… shit… I can remember it… I can remember it."
"Kanata…" he called his attention while Kanata was busy talking to himself and holding on his head. The calm Kanata that he just see a while back was now shaking and in panic. "Calm down, Kanata." he comes closer to hold him but then Kanata grabbed him to his collar and pulled him closer.
"We're going to die… that man said that we will going to die. Everyone who was involved in Sakura's murder." he whispered strongly. "He will going to kill us… he will punished us. He knew… he knew what we did… he knew!!!"
"Who knew?" Kota asked. "Did you see his face?"
"Stop!" he shouted back. He let go his grip on Kota's collar and covered his ears. "I don't want to remember it… it was a nightmare… he was a demon… he was an evil. Even I didn't see his face, that creepy sinister smile he possessed just show how much grudge he have for us…I don't want to die… I don't want to die." he repeated again and he shouted making the nurse who are passing by entered the room and saw that he was acting differently. "I don't want to die… I don't want to die … I don't want to die." he keep on repeating while the nurse was injecting him a tranquilizer for his body to relax. One nurse approached Kota and told him that ever since he gain consciousness he keep on telling the same thing over and over again.
Author's Note: Sorry guys i can't update the other fic but only this. I am so busy plotting the story of NTBYA and i forgot to write chapters for my other fic specially Pandora's Box when it already have 2 chapters left. I'm really sorry. It's just that this week my mind was always thinking of how i'm going to write NTBYA and so in order for me not to forget the ideas i needed to write them and in the process i'm fixing them in chronological order. As you can see that fic is kind of mysterious and complicated and so i wanted to execute the story where i will enjoy writing it and readers will enjoy reading it though i am not sure of the latter hehe. I need to do that because if not i will have writer's block where i didn't know what to write next and base on experience when i have that i tend to not finish the fic because i didn't know what to do next and in order to avoid that i need to do things like this and as a consequence i neglect my other fic. But don't worry ones i am done doing the draft of NTBYA i'm going to write chapters for my other fic and so for this time spend your time reading the past chapters of NTBYA coz actually i change some parts but i forgot what chapters and what part of them. But if your lazy to do that then it's fine... no... i think you really need to since they are relevant to the story XP
So that's for all today... Thanks for reading everyone. See you in the next chapters^___^
