“Go on.” Gackt urged You pushing the phone into his hand and giving him a pleading look.
“Let me get this straight. You want me to ask Megumi on a date?” You repeated, not sure if he'd quite understood his friends request, surely Gackt wasn't so crazy to send his best friend into the arms of a woman he deemed evil. Not that You minded, as far as he could tell Megumi was a perfectly nice lady and Gackt was insane but it was probably best to play along with Gackt. He was clearly loosing his sanity in his grief of loosing Hyde.
“Yes. But you don't go.” Gackt explained.
“You want me to stand Megumi up?” You demanded offended at the concept. This was going to far.
“Yes! She's an evil witch, I wouldn't put you in the firing line.” Gackt replied as if it was obvious, well at least he did care about You's well being. He hadn't forgotten his friend in his sanity.
“Gackt this is going too far.” You argued. “Your messing with a poor woman’s heart. I get you hate her, I really do but is it really right to do this?”
“You don't believe me.” Gackt accused.
“Even you have to admit it sounds crazy.” You replied defensively.
“Fine, don't believe me.” Gackt replied annoyed but not giving up. “Say she's just a normal woman, she still stole my man. Really deliberately standing her up on a date is nothing. Just think what some men do when betrayed.”
“I suppose, but why would she even say yes?” You asked.
“Because she's a slut.” Gackt replied. “I know her type, she uses men and then leaves them in pieces. Just phone her.”
“OK, OK.” You sighed as he dialled the number and waited for Megumi to answer. Gackt was crazy but this was better than burning down her house or attacking her.
Gackt lurked in the shadows waiting for Megumi to leave on her date trying to be as silent as possible. He wouldn't have too long, she'd give up on You's arrival eventually but it should be long enough to release the spell on Hyde. He waited about ten minutes after she was gone to make sure she was gone before he ran down the driveway and knocked on the door praying Hyde would answer quickly.
“Hello?” Hyde asked clearly having no memory of Gackt at all. It broke Gackt's heart to see him like that but hopefully something in his arsenal would work to free Hyde.
“Hi, I'm a friend of Megumi's.” Gackt explained. “Is she here?”
“No, I'm afraid she's gone out.” Hyde replied clearly on his guard now at Megumi's male visitor. It was clear Gackt wasn't the first and he was reminded once more that Hyde was enchanted, his lover wouldn't have put up with this treatment from Gackt.
“Then I’ll wait here.” Gackt replied pushing his way past Hyde and walking into the kitchen.
“I don't think...” Hyde argued but stopped when Gackt pushed him against a wall and forced open his mouth in which he poured what tasted like salt water. There was a lot of it and Hyde chocked and gasped for air as Gackt let go. It tasted vile and he glared at Gackt furious.
“What the fuck?!” He demanded, understandably angry.
“I needed to get salt in your system to clear the evil.” Gackt explained, though it hadn't worked. That was OK, he had a few other ideas.
“I think you should leave.” Hyde remarked backing up.
“Would you put this on?” Gackt asked holding up one of his many Onyx bracelets, the stone had protected him, maybe it would protect Hyde. Perhaps he should have tried this strategy first? Hyde was clearly unwilling to do anything he asked any more.
“If you don't leave I'll call the police.” Hyde threatened and with a sigh Gackt grabbed Hyde's arm and forced on the bracelet. Nothing happened though Hyde was clearly getting more and more afraid of him.
“OK, salt can't defeat evil and Onyx can't protect you from something that's already happened.” Gackt said more to himself. “Perhaps I could try...”
“No. Whatever it is, no.” Hyde argued seeing the look in Gackt's eyes but he soon found the man's lips on his. Gackt's last, and final option, to rescue Hyde had come straight from the media. Loves true kiss but as Hyde struggled against him he knew even that wasn't working and what was worse, the witch had just arrived home.
The front door slammed open and Megumi pushed Gackt off Hyde with a force no woman should possess. Her anger filled the air and Gackt knew he was no match in a physical fight but perhaps he could reason with her?
“I know what you are.” Gackt informed her. “I know you've enchanted Hyde, free him and I'll leave you alone.”
“So you know I'm a Siren? Big deal.” Megumi snapped shocking Gackt to realise he'd been wrong, not that he was going to tell her that. His mind was already going over this information. A Siren who lured men to there deaths with there song. So that was her spell, that was what she had done to Hyde, and to a lesser extent You. So he needed to break the song?
“So that was my mistake.” Gackt replied with a smile. “I thought you were a witch, that this was a spell but it's a song. A song stuck in Hyde's head without him even realising it. It tells him he loves you, that he doesn't know me. Am I right?”
“You're right, though it won't help you.” Megumi replied having already decided Gackt was going to die.
“It's annoying when you have a song stuck in your head.” Gackt remarked with a grin. “You know how I get rid of them? I listen to another song.”
“You're going to challenge a sirens song with a CD player?” Megumi asked laughing though Gackt had seen the flicker off worry in her eyes. He knew he was on the right track and taking his chance he began to sing. His voice was always powerful and it filled the room with Gackt's love. Hyde, forgotten to this point, shook his head as the melody began to work, as If something was bothering him but the song got no further as Megumi's voice filled the room.
Like sunshine breaking through the rain it shattered the power of Gackt's voice and left the man speechless as he stared at her in horror. One by one the onyx beads that protected him began to break and Gackt watched his only defences fall. In just seconds he'd be helpless and he had no idea how to stop it.
Behind Gackt Hyde slowly rose feeling like he was waking from a dream that he was still shaking off. Two realities filled his mind, one where he loved Gackt, the other Megumi, and he had no idea which one was real.
Following his gut instinct Hyde grabbed the bottle of salt water that Gackt had left and threw the contents into Megumi's face, silencing her and breaking the spell. She gasped in shock and though he felt guilty Hyde knew that he was making the right choice. He had seen her kill and though he loved her he knew this was wrong. He had enough of his sanity back to realise that much.
“Keep her silent.” Gackt begged and Hyde ran over to cover Megumi's mouth as Gackt began to sing once more. His voice filled the room once more and Hyde smiled at the familiar melody. This was the song Gackt had wrote for him all those years ago. He remembered now, he remembered everything and he began to cry as he realised what he had done. Still Gackt kept singing and Megumi began to threat as Gackt's voice began to hurt her. His song was replacing hers, destroying her soul and she couldn't defend herself. A sirens voice was there live and Gackt had taken hers away.
“Gackt, she's not breathing.” Hyde worried as he removed his hand. “You don't think I suffocated her?”
“No, I don't think you did this.” Gackt replied helping Hyde up and holding him close as his lover cried. On the floor Megumi lay silent for a moment before she gasped a breath of air. Her eyes shot open and she sat up glaring at Gackt. Her mouth opened but she no longer had a voice, she no longer had that power. With a silent scream she ran out of the house and disappeared from Gackt's life, her fate a mystery.
Gackt drove Hyde home without fuss wondering what could be said. Hyde had apologised and been forgiven but there was still an uncomfortable silence between them. What could be said that would make things any easier?
Entering the house Gackt headed into the living room and Hyde nervously followed knowing they needed to talk but wishing they didn't. The silence was suffocating him and he longed for things to go back to the way they were.
“We need to talk.” Gackt commented needlessly and Hyde nodded his agreement as he stared guiltily at the floor. “You were under her spell, you weren’t yourself but if you were... If you had apologised and begged to come back. I want you to know I would still have forgiven you. You mean too much to me to be pushed aside. Don't get me wrong, It wouldn't be an easy crime to forgive but I could do it, for you. All that said, you did nothing and nothing has changed. Don't feel bad, I want you to be happy. Your smile is your most attractive quality you know.”
“I'd never stray.” Hyde replied quietly. “Megumi knew that, that's why she choose me. My loyalty to you was what she wanted, because she perverted it to a loyalty to her. She wanted me to father her kids and though I wanted to be a father.... I don't want to raise a monster.”
“You could never raise a monster.” Gackt scolded. “No matter what, any child of yours would grow up kind and honest. Even if the child had an evil mother, or an eccentric father.”
“Gackt... you really meant it didn't you. When you tried to get me to choose you.” Hyde asked stunned.
“Yes I mean it. Let's start a family.” Gackt replied with a gentle smile.
“Just no siren babies, OK?” Hyde asked.
“Sounds fair.” Gackt replied. “Now let's practice.”
“Gackt this isn't practice!” Hyde replied laughing as Gackt began to lean over him with a lustful look in his eyes.
“I thought the point of sex was to make babies.” Gackt replied giving Hyde a quick kiss.
“Yes, but you need a man and a woman. Two men won't work.” Hyde informed Gackt.
“You're lying.” Gackt scolded. “Let me show you how men make babies.”
“It really won't work.” Hyde warned but Gackt didn't relent and Hyde gave into Gackt's demands. It been awhile since he'd had sex with the man he loved and he wasn't about to give up the chance right now, even if logic said that this wasn't how a baby was formed.
