Ch.6~Shifting Patterns

A young man sat on the corner of the street in the rain, letting it soak his cloths and hair. In his left hand he clutched a note written in a curious shade of red ink. The water did not make it run, so the words still cut deep into his soul. It wasn't a break up not, or a hate letter. In fact, it wasn't the kind of letter any one of his age should have. It was a blood contract, made with a man who the man could not bring himself to name.

People passed by him without notice. They were uncaring, unknowing. The seed of hatred in his heart began to grow more and more each passing moment. His fist tightened around the note and he rose slowly.

Enough time had been spent sitting there, he thought. He began walking down the sidewalk and tossed the note into the trash can, committing himself to do what it had asked.

The words on that letter were the only things in his head. I hereby swear, that in return for the life of my sister and mother, that I ________ will take the life of Ryou Misaki.

He leaned against the wall outside her room, waiting. With a glance at his watch his patience dissolved. She had had an hour to get ready and he didn't like to wait, even if it was for Chika, especially when it was for Chika. They had been together for three months now, but circumstances with her parents had mad it impossible for them to do much together. Her dad had simply walked out on them one day, so Chika had been forced to get a job so she and her mom could keep going. Then he simply walked back in three days ago with a job that payed twice as much. It had confused everyone, but no one really complained. Tonight he was taking her out for two reasons. One was so she could finally have a relaxing evening, and the other was simply because they finally could.

Thus his impatience. He finally decided to go in and get her. It surprised him that her door was unlocked, but he went in non the less. What he saw made him react in a way he had never thought possible. For the first time in his life, Ryou Misaki turned beat red. Chika was asleep on her bed. That wouldn't have been so bad but for the fact all she had on was a set of black lace underwear. He tried to back out of the room quietly, but ran into a small table and knocked it over, causing a loud crash.

Chika stirred and looked straight at him and smiled. Then she realized what she was wearing and turned pink as well. They just looked at each other for a moment. Chika in her underwear and Ryou in dress cloths. Ryou finally broke the silence. “Umm..ahh...we're ah, running late so...I uh, came in to see what was up. I'll just...wait outside.” He got up hastily and made for the door. Then, Chika did the one thing he never expected. She giggled. “It's ok, since you already saw me like this, might as well help me get ready. Fancy dresses can be unbelievably bitchy.”

Ryou nodded and came went back over to her. It took about thirty minutes to get her properly dressed, largely because they wound up kissing for about ten. It was the first time she had let him feel a certain area of her, so he was happy. Her parents were...busy...the entire time, so they didn't know it had taken as long as it did for them to leave. They went to a fancy restaurant and had a very proper dinner, and it annoyed the hell out of both of them. Afterward, they drove out to Reiko and Tomonari's place. They were out of town for the weekend, so they had the place to themselves. Being the curious teenagers they were, they found themselves upstairs on a bed kissing rather passionately.

This led to a bit more than kissing, much more. Ryou got another look at the black lace. Before they got any further than that however, they both decided they needed to stop. Neither of them wanted that this early. It was there plan to wait, at least for a year or two. Ryou kissed Chika softly and they both got dressed.

When they were both ready, they headed back home. Ryou dropped Chika off around eleven, then headed home himself. It wasn't long before he was in bed. He smiled to himself. Today had been a good day. Then his cell rang and his spirit had the rug pulled out from under it. No one called this late with good news. It was Yuuichi and he sounded panicked. “Oh man, I screwed up.”

Ryou sat up slightly annoyed, but sympathetic. “What happened man, and calmed down.”

Yuuichi sighed. “I...went a little far with Nanase, not to far, just...anyways...we got caught by her parents...”

Ryou's eyes widened. “Shit man, what did they do?”

Yuichi didnt talk for a few moments. “...Nothing yet...but...there must be something coming.”

Ryou chuckled. “Just calm down man. Did they seem mad, give you the death glare or anything?”

“N-no. They just walked out.”

“Then don't man, just calm down and see what happens. It doesn't sound like you have anything to worry about.”

“Ok.”

“You'll e fine man.”

“Thanks Ryou, bye.”

“Later man.”

That ended the call and Ryou laid back down. What a night, he thought. He closed his eyes and fell asleep almost instantly.

Kaitou smiled as he walked down the street holding Akira's hand. It had been to long since they had gotten a chance to go out like this. Coaching had kept them both busy. She smiled back at him and squeezed his hand. “You know, you are still my hero Kaitou.”

He chuckled and kissed her. “And you are mine Akira. I miss those days sometimes, when I was kite. Do you ever miss it?”

Akira thought a moment and nodded. “Yeah, kinda. I bet you we could still kick butt.” She giggled and smiled at him.

Kite chuckled and kissed her. “You know, CCcorp did give us transfer codes for kite and black rose. We could make use of them if you wanted to.”

“That would be great, Then you could see me in those revealing cloths again couldn't you.” She winked.

Kaitou blushed. “That has no bearing on me wanting to play. Plus, I can see that here if I want.” He poked her side.

Akira blushed this time. “Yeah yeah, you don't have to point it out every chance you get you know.” She kissed him softly.

Kaitou smiled. “I love you Akira.”

“I love you too.”

He hugged her out front of the restaurant they had come too, then walked in with her.

Dinner went well, but when they left, it was raining hard. They had to walk to another street to get a cab, and on they way they bumped into a young man who had obviously been in the rain for a while. Kaitou asked if he was alright, but he just kept walking. Kite shrugged and the two got a cab back to their shared apartment.

The young man got back to his room at around midnight. He didnt bother taking off his wet things and just laid down on his bed. He pulled out the gun he had under his bed and removed one bullet. He took out a knife and began to carve something into the side.

He smiled when he finished. It had turn out well. He set the bullet next to the gun in the case and put it back under his bad. He closed his eyes and fell asleep in his wet clothing.

The bullet he had carved on, the only bullet he had, now had Ryou Misaki printed on the side.
