Liar (SaruMi)

Ten

Soon, Yata found himself slowly walking through the doors of Kusanagi's bar, his eyes were fixed on the ground and he was still walking with a limp but he hoped no one would notice. He kept his face down so none of them could see that he had been crying. He didn't want the others to judge him, nor did he want to make Anna worry. With his hands shoved in his pockets, he brushed off any greetings that were said to him and made his way up the stairs. His leg was aching, but he ignored it for now. He just wanted to go to bed and forget the events of today.

At the top of the stairs, Yata was once again stopped in his tracks. He had bumped into someone's chest, causing him to stumble back slightly. When he looked up to see who it was, he paused. Mikoto had been getting ready to head back downstairs, however when he saw Yata's face he reached out and grabbed the other by the arm before dragging him down the hallway. Something had clearly happened, otherwise Yata wouldn't have had such a look on his face. The smaller male didn't even try to pull himself away from the Red King, he knew it wouldn't do any good.

To Yata's surprise, he ended up being pulled into Mikoto's private room rather than his own. The only other person allowed in here was Anna whenever she couldn't sleep, other than that, this room was strictly off limits unless it was an emergency. Once the two of them entered the room, the door was shut behind the two of them. Yata could feel his nerves growing, but he knew Mikoto wouldn't do anything to him. That didn't stop him from being worried. There was a chance Mikoto had smelt Fushimi's scent on Yata, but he really hoped that wasn't the case.

"Yata, sit down." Mikoto spoke lowly as he walked over and sat himself down on his bed. The smaller male hesitated for a moment before he did as he was told. He sat himself down beside Mikoto, once again fixing his eyes on the ground. He clenched his hands together tightly and bit his lip due to his nerves growing even more. After several moments of silence, the omega finally let out a soft sigh.

"Is there something wrong, boss?" Yata asked quietly. Mikoto didn't respond for a moment. Instead, Yata heard the click of a lighter, followed by the familiar smell of cigarette smoke.

"I was about to ask you the same thing, you know. I know you've been crying again, and I noticed you limping, meaning you got yourself injured once again." Mikoto's tone remained calm, but there was a hint of concern behind it. "Tell me what happened."

"I..." Yata paused for a moment. He honestly didn't know where to start, but it was probably best to start with the thing that turned today bad in the first place. "...Saruhiko is at that damn school..."

Ah, so Yata had run into Fushimi. Mikoto remembered the conversation he had with Reisi yesterday. The Blue King had informed him that Fushimi would be attending that school along with Yata, but they had both decided to keep it a secret. Mikoto knew it was going to affect Yata pretty badly, and sure enough he was right to be concerned. However, he could tell it wasn't just Fushimi's presence that had the omega troubled.

"That isn't the only problem, is it Yata?" Mikoto didn't want to dwell on Fushimi's appearance at that school for too long, knowing that it was upsetting the omega beside him.

"No it isn't... After he revealed himself to me, I ran out of that damn school. Once I was outside, I was confronted by another member of that new clan, the ones who attacked us yesterday. I got his name, he chased me throughout town... I didn't come back here because I thought he could possibly be after you or something, so I led him toward the old junkyard, hoping to lose him.Once I found the strength to get over the fence, I noticed I had hurt my leg. I thought I was done for after that. Before he could grab me, I heard a female's voice, and found myself being lifted off the ground, but I didn't see who it was because my eyes had shut. Once I finally opened them, I found myself sitting in an alley I used to spend a lot of time in... Saruhiko was there with me..." Yata finally stopped talking for a moment to give Mikoto time to catch up with everything he had said. Since it had been Fushimi who carried him off, he could only assume that woman's voice was Awashima, the Blue King's right hand...well woman.
