Never to Betray You Again
-Chapter Thirty Four-
"Then… is that mean you're in love with someone right now?" Hikaru asked but Kei just remained in silent. He was in love with same person for a long time already and he just let himself be hurt by it. "Can I know who it was?"
"I guess… we should go back already." Kei told him to escape the conversation, besides he can't tell Hikaru straight that it was his best friend who he was in love with. Hikaru didn't push the conversation anymore and he just go with what Kei wants. He drive him back to his apartment and before they separate ways Kei asked if Hikaru is alright after what happened a while back.
"Don't worry that much about me… or else I'm going to fall for you." Hikaru told him.
"That's a joke right?'
"What if… I'm serious.? I like you Kei." he confessed with a serious expression on his face. "I like you, you are someone who is my type and that's the reason I'm sticking around besides you." Kei was speechless and was unable to respond with the sudden confession. The atmosphere turned serious for a few moments and then Hikaru smiled. "But… someone else loves you more than I am." he continued. "My feelings for you is nothing compare to him and so I give up. I just hope… he gained strength to confess his feelings but… his always the coward type."
"Wh...who are you talking about?" Kei asked confusedly.
"Kota." Hikaru called and then he smiled. Kei was startled with what Kei said but then Hikaru said something that made him turned his back. "Are you done with your business?"
"The two of you just arrived?" Kota asked them.
"Yup… take some detour on our way here. I need to go. See you tomorrow." Hikaru told the two as he wave his hand and depart with his car.
Kei was so nervous when he and Kota were in the elevator all by themselves. It was all Hikaru's fault because of saying something stupid like that. For seconds he believe that it was Kota who Hikaru talks about but in the end it was not him at all. Besides how will that be? Kota is dating Aira and since the beginning he doesn't have any feelings for him at all. "I'm sorry if I was not able to pick you up." Kota said.
"It's fine, I know I am not your priority in the first place." Kei replied. "Someone else is much important, besides I really wanted to tell this to you as well. You don't owe me anything and so you don't need to drive me all the time. Just because one of my leg can't walk doesn't mean I can't move my own self. Spend the time you give me to a much deserving one." he cleared. "You don't need to… care about me anymore when you already have someone you value."
"I don't have someone like that." Kota replied back. They reach their floor and Kei get out first of the elevator while Kota followed.
"You don't need to keep it a secret from me. There's no need to lie." Kei smiled back.
"But it's the truth… if you're thinking that I have a girlfriend or whatsoever I don't have anyone besides… you're important to me."
Kei's chest tighten when he heard those words from Kota. He didn't want to hear another lie from him. He look for his key on his bag but for some reason he can't see it. He wanted to get in immediately because he didn't want to be all alone with Kota longer. "Where is my key?" Kei asked while he kept looking on his bag and on his pocket. "Did I left it somewhere?"
"Did you lost your key?" Kota asked him all of a sudden.
"No… I am sure it was just here." Kei answered. While the two were busy searching for the key, Kota received a message from Hikaru that he have Kei's key. He purposely take it so he can use that opportunity to talk to Kei and do what is necessary.
"You left you're key in Hikaru's car." Kota told him. "He sent me a message." Kei looks disappointed. "The owner is not here right now so you can't borrow his spare key."
"I'm going to Yuri…"
"Yuri is not here as well. He said he have a project he need to finish so… Why don't you stay in my place for the night?" Kota offered. Kei was startled with the offer, why do things like this need to happen.
"N...no…. i… I'm okay." Kei said.
"I will not do anything so… just come with me." Kota said. "I can't let you stay outside, specially that it's getting colder."
Kei have no choice but accept Kota's offer to him. He doesn't have any place to go and if the landlord is nowhere he can have the spare key even he waited. Kota opened his apartment and it was totally awkward for Kei. The last memory he have in that room was when he and Kota kiss each other. He knew that it doesn't mean anything, Kota just did it because he was not on his right mind but for him it means a lot. "Are you hungry? Do you want something to drink?" Kota asked.
"I… I wanted to rest… I'm tired." Kei whispered.
"Alright I'll just prepare my bed, you can sleep there." Kota said.
This is not right, that is what Kei think but still he was there and going with the flow Kota is making. He should not allow Kota to enter his world any further if he didn't want to be in pain. Even he loves him and cares for him, Kota is the opposite plus he was dating Aira. He can't continue his feelings for him anymore. For some reason he was starting to regret falling in love with him for the second time. He was already hurt before but why do he still do the same thing and now it ended the same way… he was hurting and in pain.
"Kei… Kei, are you alright?" Kota asked him again. It seems like when he was spacing out, Kota is asking him something.
"O… on the second thought… I guess I should not." Kei told him. "I… I'm just going outside and rent a room. Thank you for inviting me here but I need to go."
"Kei… I said it was fine for you to stay here."
"But it's not fine with me." Kei answered him back. "How can you be so carefree Kota? You already have a girlfriend but you let others enter your room so freely."
"Gi...girlfriend? Who have a girlfriend?"
"Who else is here?" Kei asked him back. "Please don't pretend anymore, don't lie anymore to me. We saw you with Aira and then… the two of you are kissing each other… and then you…"
"Aira is not my girlfriend." Kota retaliate back. "If you saw us in the park then it's doesn't mean anything at all. I am not dating anyone Kei and I don't have any plan to enter a relationship except if it is someone I really like. Don't misunderstand it okay… Aira is nothing but just a part of the past… it's just… I just need something to her right now and so…"
"Even she is not your girlfriend now you are still going to that point right?"
"I don't like Aira…. I am in love with someone else and it's not her." Kota cleared, he held his voice a little loud and that startled Kei. "I'm sorry… Just stay here okay. It's already late at night and it's dangerous to go outside. I'll sleep in the living room so if you need something else just call me." he continued before he leave the room. Kei was left alone inside while still trying to process everything that Kota said. When he said that he likes someone why does he sound like he was in pain? If it is not Aira, then… who is that someone Kota likes?
Kei lie down on Kota's bed and as he hug the pillow he smelled Kota's scent on it. "When can I…. Be truly free with this feeling?" he hugged the pillow tightly and for some reason tears started to fall from his eyes "Why do I love you so much Kota?'
…
Kota went to the sofa after taking a bath. He was half naked with a towel on his shoulder. He can't relax at all. Kei is sleeping on his own room. The guy that he likes is sleeping in his own bed. How can he forget about it? That's the place where he kiss Kei and almost succumb with his manly needed. He can't hurt Kei anymore, he can't afford to hurt him anymore. He did so many bad things towards Kei and he didn't want to add more to it. He loves Kei from the button of his heart but he need to keep it and lock it in order to protect him. A guy like him can't is not rightful enough to have him. Just thinking about the past made him want to kill himself. The only thing he can do now is to protect Kei no matter what will happen and until everything is done he will just keep in silence. In order to pay for his sin, he need to set aside his selfish desire to have the guy that he loves the most.
…
In order to advance with his investigation, Kota called for a meeting with the 4 remaining members of Blazers. There are lots of question he needed answer and it can only be solve if the 4 of them will start to confront each other with honest answer with them. He also wanted to confirmed if he can really trust them since that situation they are in is not a game but a reality they need to survive or else it means the end of their lives. The 'caller' is serious in taking revenge for Sakura's death but the reason behind her death was still unclear and he can't connect the puzzles to complete the truth.
"The 'caller' contacted me again and he told me that he already have a target from the 4 of us. He didn't mention who it was and so we all should be prepare of what will happen. By Kanata's death, you can tell that this Is not just a mere game of revenge. This someone is seriously wanting us dead because of the sin we did 3 years ago. In order to stop this, I need a full cooperation from the 4 of you. If… if you still have sense of living then… we should be honest with each other from now on." Kota started the conversation. Everyone was just listening to him seriously, waiting for the gist of that sudden meeting. "Leader, when we killed Sakura, did you know before hand that she was not the one who told the management about it?" he finally asked. He didn't want to believe what Hikaru told him but it's been bugging him since he heard it from him.
Hiro and Sano seems shocked about what Kota just said and they all look to Ono as well who was silently sitting on his favourite sofa in that room. "What is this all about?" Ono asked.
"It's been bugging me. The 'caller' told me that it was not Sakura who told the management the truth. It was not her who spit the secret of the group to anyone that cause our disbandment. You are the first one who found out about the truth right? You're the one who told us that it was her but… is that really the truth?" Kota asked.
"Yeah it was me… and I stick to my words that it was Sakura who told the management about it." Ono replied. "Asking this question, are you believing that 'caller's' word? Kota… that guy is just manipulating you in order to conspire on us. Don’t believe his stupid lies."
"But… it was not only the 'caller' who told me about this possibility. I have a reliable source that can say this could be possible." Kota said.
"And who is this reliable source you are talking about?" Ono asked him.
"It's Hikaru." Kota said and that made Ono laughed out loud.
"You're believing the words of the best friend who leave you because of a misunderstanding with a girl?" Ono asked. "How ridiculous. Aren't the two of you not in good terms? How can you believe the words of him easily?"
"I know him well… that's the reason I can tell he was telling me the truth." Kota responded. "I… I don't want to believe this either. I don't want to doubt anyone. We are already in a tight spot and what I want is everyone to be honest with each other. All of us here are trying to survive this and live with our life ordinarily. If you will just be honest with me then we can do this together… we can save our life from danger that we are facing right now." he tried to explained.
Hiro raised his hand and stand up. "I also doubt Ono about this. I know there is something off from the very beginning. You told us that it was Sakura who spit it out but you never let us confirm about it and let us all agree that it was really her. When we were killing her, she kept on denying that it was not her. Despite of her bitch personality I think I can tell when she was lying or not after all the interactions that we have with Sakura all that time." he added.
Ono sighed and cross his legs. He paused for a few moments and finally he revealed the truth to them. "Fine… I knew… that it was not her."
Kota wanted to hear the opposite but it seems like Hikaru is really telling the truth. "T...then why did we kill Sakura?" Kota asked. "What is the reason why we killed her if she was not the one who made this group a mess?" he continued. "Ono, answer us."
"It was not her but it doesn't mean that she didn't do anything wrong at all. Actually before it happened, Sakura was threatening me that she will tell the truth to the management and to prevent that I also scared her a little but then all of a sudden it happened. Besides I realized about the truth after we killed Sakura. All this time I knew it was her but then a year after I found out that it was not her who did it. It's too late to think about it since she already died." Ono explained. "We didn't do anything wrong… we just did our own way of justice for her ruining our dreams and hope."
"Is it just like that?" Kota asked him back. "Kanata died because of a wrong accusation… we will all going to die because we killed her!" he shouted back. "How can you do this Ono? Why did you let us be part of this sin?" he continued. "Why did we end up like this? Blazerz is happy group, everyone is trying their best to reach their dreams but what happened now? We are all mess up… we are all afraid that anytime we will be killed by this mysterious 'caller' and will have a dog's death like what we give to Sakura 3 years ago." he continued.
"Mysterious?" Sano asked, suddenly joining the conversation. "It was not mysterious anymore…"
"What do you mean?" Hiro asked, both Kota and Ono looked at him curiously too.
"I know who is doing this to us." he sighted. "I know who was messing with our life and wanting to take revenge for what we have done."
"Sano, what are you talking about?" Ono asked Sano.
"Kei is alive." Sano revealed and that made Kota shocked. How did Sano knew that Kei is alive? He was keeping it a secret all this time. "I saw him the other day. He looks the same except for the fact that he was using clutches, probably the result of the torture we give to him before. I am sure it was him besides I run after him but he was able to escape."
"Are you sure it was him? It's impossible for him to survive what we did to him that time." Ono asked he was also surprised with what he heard. Everyone knew that Kei is already dead since they didn't have any clue about him for the last 3 years. Kota started to move from his position and go straight towards Sano's area.
"What did you say you did to him?" Kota asked.
"I was walking in an alley when I felt someone was following me. I tried to lure that 'someone' and then I saw him. Kei was there in the same area I was standing. He was the one following me and there's no doubt he was the caller too. Before he can kill me I make a move. I run after him and tried to kill him, that frail guy is still a weakling like before. He looks so pathetic like a rat trap in a maze and wanted to go out, but luck is towards him since he was able to escape. Who else could be the caller here… there's no doubt it was him. He was the only one who have the reason to kill all of us." Sano explained.
As Sano explained what he did to Kei, Kota remembered when Yuto called his phone and told him Kei's situation. Also that time when he came back and Kei was full with bruises all over his body. Kei said that it was nothing but now he knew where all those things came from. All this time he was doing his best to protect Kei but when he was gone that's the time he was hurt. He move another step and this time he punch Sano in the face with everything that he got. Hiro and Ono were surprised of what he did. Sano flew from where he was standing while Kota was raging with anger.
Sano was hurt with that punch and that trigger his anger and attack Kota back. He also punch him and that made Kota fall on the ground but he stand up and then punch Sano back. The two were fighting each other when Ono and Hiro came to stop the two. "You jerk… why did you punch me?" Sano asked madly. "Don't tell me you are siding with that guy? He is the 'caller'. He is the one who was calling us and wanting us dead."
"It's not him!" Kota shouted back as he tried to release from Hiro's grasp on him. "It's not Kei… it's not him… it's not him you asshole!" he cursed.
"Kota, what is this all about? Did you know something?" Ono asked.
"Of course he knew something." Sano said. "He was siding with the enemy… like I told you he is the betrayer. He is working with the enemy in order to kill us. He wanted us dead because he is threatened by our existence. You knew it right? This guy have all the reason to betray us besides we just try to force him to get involve with that mess. Probably he knew for a long time that Kei is alive and he working with him, exchanging information regarding us."
"Kota!" Ono shouted back. "Is that true?"
Kota gasped as he let himself free from Hiro's grasp. There's no turning back anymore. Even he deny it, nothing will happen. He can't hide Kei's existence anymore. "Kei is alive… that is true." he revealed. "But I swear to all of you… he is not the 'caller' at all. Kei have an amnesia and can't remember everything that happened that night. He didn't know who I am nor the Blazers nor Sakura. He has nothing to do with this anymore." he explained.
"You liar!" Sano shouted back. "Are you playing with us you asshole? Do you think we will believe that half assed lie?"
"I am telling the truth!" Kota shouted back. "He has nothing to do with this. All the memories that he have, all the bad things that we did to him… it vanished already. He is nothing but an ordinary individual… so… let us not him get involve with this. "
"How long did you know that he was alive?" Ono asked.
"4 months." Kota replied.
"4 months and you didn't tell a thing from us?" Ono asked.
"There's no need to trust this guy anymore. He already lied to us and keep this a secret from us." Sano asked. "I don't believe that was not Kei. Who else will do this anyway? Who will try to kill us? Other than him, I can't think of anyone else. Let us shut the mouth of that boy and let this go already. I am tired of this revenge thing" he said to Ono but all of a sudden he received another punch on the face and grabbed the collar of his shirt.
"Lay a hand to Kei again and I will be the one to kill you." Kota told him madly with raging eyes that they never saw before. It was the first time that Kota said such powerful words in front of them and they were startled that he have that scary side of him. He let go of Sano and glared at everyone. "That goes with the two of you. If you hurt him again, it's not the 'caller' who will kill you but it will be me." Kota threatened. "Remember that."
The conversation ended the way it is not supposed to. Kota walk out of the room with anger in his chest. He always said that he will going to protect Kei but then when he was needed he was not there to save him. Kei suffered another fearful experience that he didn't want him to feel again. Kota stop and started punching the wall until his fist bleed. He felt so pathetic that he didn't know what to do next.
Author's Note: As a celebration for JUMP's 8th anniversary i'm trying my best to update my fic, specially this one. I hope i can update at least 8 chapters before i became busy again.
So what's your comment about this chapter? All the Blazerz knew that Kei is already alive and now Kota is furious about it. Of course... who will not be right? All this time he was protecting Kei but now everyone knew the truth. But i really love to write the part when Kota became so brave enough to threatened the Blazerz. He was always the coward one, someone who was just silent in the corner and just agreeting with everything but when Kei is involve he suddenly change. I hope i am doing well in developing Kei and Kota's character >__<

You are the first one who found out about the truth right? You're the one who told us that it was her but… is that really the truth?" Kota asked.
"Yeah it was me… and I stick to my words that it was Sakura who told the management about it." Ono replied. "Asking this question, are you believing that 'caller's' word? Kota… that guy is just manipulating you in order to conspire on us. Don’t believe his stupid lies."
"But… it was not only the 'caller' who told me about this possibility. I have a reliable source that can say this could be possible." Kota said.
"And who is this reliable source you are talking about?" Ono asked him.
"It's Hikaru." Kota said and that made Ono laughed out loud.
"You're believing the words of the best friend who leave you because of a misunderstanding with a girl?" Ono asked. "How ridiculous. Aren't the two of you not in good terms? How can you believe the words of him easily?"
"I know him well… that's the reason I can tell he was telling me the truth." Kota responded. "I… I don't want to believe this either. I don't want to doubt anyone. We are already in a tight spot and what I want is everyone to be honest with each other. All of us here are trying to survive this and live with our life ordinarily. If you will just be honest with me then we can do this together… we can save our life from danger that we are facing right now." he tried to explained.
Hiro raised his hand and stand up. "I also doubt Ono about this. I know there is something off from the very beginning. You told us that it was Sakura who spit it out but you never let us confirm about it and let us all agree that it was really her. When we were killing her, she kept on denying that it was not her. Despite of her bitch personality I think I can tell when she was lying or not after all the interactions that we have with Sakura all that time." he added.
Ono sighed and cross his legs. He paused for a few moments and finally he revealed the truth to them. "Fine… I knew… that it was not her."
Kota wanted to hear the opposite but it seems like Hikaru is really telling the truth. "T...then why did we kill Sakura?" Kota asked. "What is the reason why we killed her if she was not the one who made this group a mess?" he continued. "Ono, answer us."
"It was not her but it doesn't mean that she didn't do anything wrong at all. Actually before it happened, Sakura was threatening me that she will tell the truth to the management and to prevent that I also scared her a little but then all of a sudden it happened. Besides I realized about the truth after we killed Sakura. All this time I knew it was her but then a year after I found out that it was not her who did it. It's too late to think about it since she already died." Ono explained. "We didn't do anything wrong… we just did our own way of justice for her ruining our dreams and hope."
"Is it just like that?" Kota asked him back. "Kanata died because of a wrong accusation… we will all going to die because we killed her!" he shouted back. "How can you do this Ono? Why did you let us be part of this sin?" he continued. "Why did we end up like this? Blazerz is happy group, everyone is trying their best to reach their dreams but what happened now? We are all mess up… we are all afraid that anytime we will be killed by this mysterious 'caller' and will have a dog's death like what we give to Sakura 3 years ago." he continued.
"Mysterious?" Sano asked, suddenly joining the conversation. "It was not mysterious anymore…"
"What do you mean?" Hiro asked, both Kota and Ono looked at him curiously too.
"I know who is doing this to us." he sighted. "I know who was messing with our life and wanting to take revenge for what we have done."
"Sano, what are you talking about?" Ono asked Sano.
"Kei is alive." Sano revealed and that made Kota shocked. How did Sano knew that Kei is alive? He was keeping it a secret all this time. "I saw him the other day. He looks the same except for the fact that he was using clutches, probably the result of the torture we give to him before. I am sure it was him besides I run after him but he was able to escape."
"Are you sure it was him? It's impossible for him to survive what we did to him that time." Ono asked he was also surprised with what he heard. Everyone knew that Kei is already dead since they didn't have any clue about him for the last 3 years. Kota started to move from his position and go straight towards Sano's area.
"What did you say you did to him?" Kota asked.
"I was walking in an alley when I felt someone was following me. I tried to lure that 'someone' and then I saw him. Kei was there in the same area I was standing. He was the one following me and there's no doubt he was the caller too. Before he can kill me I make a move. I run after him and tried to kill him, that frail guy is still a weakling like before. He looks so pathetic like a rat trap in a maze and wanted to go out, but luck is towards him since he was able to escape. Who else could be the caller here… there's no doubt it was him. He was the only one who have the reason to kill all of us." Sano explained.
As Sano explained what he did to Kei, Kota remembered when Yuto called his phone and told him Kei's situation. Also that time when he came back and Kei was full with bruises all over his body. Kei said that it was nothing but now he knew where all those things came from. All this time he was doing his best to protect Kei but when he was gone that's the time he was hurt. He move another step and this time he punch Sano in the face with everything that he got. Hiro and Ono were surprised of what he did. Sano flew from where he was standing while Kota was raging with anger.
Sano was hurt with that punch and that trigger his anger and attack Kota back. He also punch him and that made Kota fall on the ground but he stand up and then punch Sano back. The two were fighting each other when Ono and Hiro came to stop the two. "You jerk… why did you punch me?" Sano asked madly. "Don't tell me you are siding with that guy? He is the 'caller'. He is the one who was calling us and wanting us dead."
"It's not him!" Kota shouted back as he tried to release from Hiro's grasp on him. "It's not Kei… it's not him… it's not him you asshole!" he cursed.
"Kota, what is this all about? Did you know something?" Ono asked.
"Of course he knew something." Sano said. "He was siding with the enemy… like I told you he is the betrayer. He is working with the enemy in order to kill us. He wanted us dead because he is threatened by our existence. You knew it right? This guy have all the reason to betray us besides we just try to force him to get involve with that mess. Probably he knew for a long time that Kei is alive and he working with him, exchanging information regarding us."
"Kota!" Ono shouted back. "Is that true?"
Kota gasped as he let himself free from Hiro's grasp. There's no turning back anymore. Even he deny it, nothing will happen. He can't hide Kei's existence anymore. "Kei is alive… that is true." he revealed. "But I swear to all of you… he is not the 'caller' at all. Kei have an amnesia and can't remember everything that happened that night. He didn't know who I am nor the Blazers nor Sakura. He has nothing to do with this anymore." he explained.
"You liar!" Sano shouted back. "Are you playing with us you asshole? Do you think we will believe that half assed lie?"
"I am telling the truth!" Kota shouted back. "He has nothing to do with this. All the memories that he have, all the bad things that we did to him… it vanished already. He is nothing but an ordinary individual… so… let us not him get involve with this. "
"How long did you know that he was alive?" Ono asked.
"4 months." Kota replied.
"4 months and you didn't tell a thing from us?" Ono asked.
"There's no need to trust this guy anymore. He already lied to us and keep this a secret from us." Sano asked. "I don't believe that was not Kei. Who else will do this anyway? Who will try to kill us? Other than him, I can't think of anyone else. Let us shut the mouth of that boy and let this go already. I am tired of this revenge thing" he said to Ono but all of a sudden he received another punch on the face and grabbed the collar of his shirt.
"Lay a hand to Kei again and I will be the one to kill you." Kota told him madly with raging eyes that they never saw before. It was the first time that Kota said such powerful words in front of them and they were startled that he have that scary side of him. He let go of Sano and glared at everyone. "That goes with the two of you. If you hurt him again, it's not the 'caller' who will kill you but it will be me." Kota threatened. "Remember that."
The conversation ended the way it is not supposed to. Kota walk out of the room with anger in his chest. He always said that he will going to protect Kei but then when he was needed he was not there to save him. Kei suffered another fearful experience that he didn't want him to feel again. Kota stop and started punching the wall until his fist bleed. He felt so pathetic that he didn't know what to do next.
Author's Note: As a celebration for JUMP's 8th anniversary i'm trying my best to update my fic, specially this one. I hope i can update at least 8 chapters before i became busy again.
So what's your comment about this chapter? All the Blazerz knew that Kei is already alive and now Kota is furious about it. Of course... who will not be right? All this time he was protecting Kei but now everyone knew the truth. But i really love to write the part when Kota became so brave enough to threatened the Blazerz. He was always the coward one, someone who was just silent in the corner and just agreeting with everything but when Kei is involve he suddenly change. I hope i am doing well in developing Kei and Kota's character >__<
