Author's Note : Yes. I know that I haven't improved in writing a proper summary yet.. Eventhough I've wrote for quite long now.. >,<
Well, this arc's title and plot are based on T.M.Revolution's song, Thunderbird, which immediately melted my heart the first time I heard it (It was the Music Fair version where they sang it along with Tegomassu by the way).. Hope you'll like this arc too~ XD
~~~Arc 3 - Chapitre 13 - Spider's Web~~~
Keito is a man of plans. He planned everything from the time he woke up until the time he returned to sleep. He had made possibilities of what to do and who will he meet for the day in an imaginary notebook inside his head. Doing something he hasn't planned on is something which never happened on his life. That's why, when a certain Captain sat on his chair the moment he entered the Eastern Gate's quarter staring at him with an accusing look, a happening never in his lists to happen, he was beyond surprise.
"T-taichou ?!"
"Hello there, my dearest Fukutaichou."
The formality in his voice was just so abnormal Keito almost thought that he's still dreaming if not for a fact that he had tripped over the small bump on the ground and hit the wall quite painfully just a moment ago. Thinking back, perhaps it was the sign of doom he was about to go through.
"What's the occassion ?" He asked, trying to be as calm as possible.
"Oh, nothing important." The young man waved his hand off lazily. "Just questioning as to why no reports has been given to me when there were several raid done to our men that is."
Keito felt the stare creating a hole in his body, but he had prepared for this day and had recited the lines over and over again before so he can't fail now.
"Pardon my rudeness," He started off. "But the attacks were insignificant, and I also happened to remember that you're still recovering, that's why I believe that it was deemed unnecessary to report it to you just yet."
"Not even when it concerned myself ?"
Keito frowned. "What are you talking about ?"
"You're smart, Keito, I believe you can catch on." He rolled his eyes. "You did realized that this has something to do with my family, didn't you ?"
Now that was beyond unexpected.
Keito widened his eyes in disbelief. He then averted his gaze, all the while trying to make an excuse for that statement. But before he could make out anything at all, he heard the younger boy sighed.
"I know what you were trying to do, and I appreciate it, really." Ryosuke started. "But I would appreciate it more that you don't underestimate my capabilities and told me things properly."
"Ryosuke-"
"I'm still your Captain, and I'm not planning to run away from my responsibilities." Ryosuke continued like he didn't heard Keito at all. "So, Keito, mind telling me what's going on ?"
The older boy sighed as he took a walk to where the couch is located before plopping himself down on it.
"I understand."
***
"What do you mean by nothing ?!"
The man on the other side of the room bowed his head, in an attempt to tell the other man of how sorry he was.
"I really am sorry, Sir, but it seems that no one really know about that person's identity nor his whereabout."
"Tsk !" The man behind the desk looked away, face angered. He then shot the other man a look and pointed a finger at him. "One last chance, Nakamaru, one last chance. If you were to fail me more than this, you know exactly what will happen afterwards, right ?"
The man called Nakamaru widened his eyes in fear, before bowing down deeply.
"Understood, Haruhiko-sama."
***
"You look happy."
The man who has been sitting silently in front of his computer desk turned around to face the source of the voice. At seeing the newcomer, the man couldn't helped but let out a small smile.
"Why do you think so ?" He asked.
"Your plan is going accordingly. And you looked much more relaxed than you've ever been." The newcomer inquired. "And thus, the statement.
"I see." The man nodded. "Well, is there really a reason no to be ? Everything has fell into their respective place. All is left is for me to wait as my stage prevailed."
The newcomer gave him a mysterious smile as he stood there unmoving for a couple of minutes.
"Well," He said, finally moving from his spot. "As long as you keep everything tidy and not disturbing the balance, then I'm good."
"I thank you for your consideration." The man gave him a salute.
"My pleasure." The newcomer replied in the same gesture. "Very well then, I guess I should be taking my leave now. If you will excuse me."
The man just nodded as he stared at the newcomer's figure disappearing behind the door. A small smile plastered on his face as he turned back to his computer's screen.
"That's it. Keep going just like that. And before you know it, you'd fall too deep inside my spider's web, dearest brother."
