Soulmates, Tainted and Twisted (Soukoku: Yaoi Fanfic)

Entry 15

(15)

Soft footsteps resonated from the dark and long narrowed pathway.
The pathway was directed to the secret passages leading down to multiple dungeons of which confidential files and stuffs are well hidden. But it is not something but someone was the purpose of the person carefully walking down to the stairs, he seemed to know well of the dark place.

Until he took a stop at a corner of two pathways. Like the gust of the wind and suddenly disappeared.

Almost startled. Gin blinked for a few times to discern if she really didn't caught on where did that person turn to.

She ran to the spot of disappearance. Looked around the void of the two pathway, even a presence but she cannot feel it anymore.

" Where did Kireisake turned to..."
Gin thought with nuisance. Awhile, as they dine at the Grill bar but she noticed that the kid is intentionally making everyone of the black lizard to be drunk, she pretended to be asleep until Kereisake went out alone of the room and so not long after as she followed forth.
The place Kireisake is heading is astonishing Gin as she actually know that there is only one destination of that room, she knows what's down there so she cannot afford for whatever plan the kid is planning or if simply by all means he was just trying to explore the place like a curious kid-------or not, Gin brushed off the latter idea she had. She has a strong perception that Kireisake must meant to go down this specific place.

Right from the start, Gin already has suspicion about Kireisake although them, the black Lizard would only sometimes be asked by Kouyou to watch for the kid but that short time,  Gin cannot see Kireisake as a kid anymore, she can discern something ambiguous within the kid who grew faster almost in the same or higher height with her already in just four years.
Kouyou, Chuuya and the people who knew him thought that even though his physique grew faster but he still has the mentality of a four years old--- pure, curious and innocent but to Gin, she can't seem to accept that. To Gin, as someone who's trained to be an assassin, to be keen with observation and sharp sense of someone's actions. She knew there's something the kid is hiding.

Gin chose to open the last room of the void passage. It is a cold and dimmed room where someone was confined for a long time, that someone is her master, the one who trained her to become an assassin.

She was gonna call out for a courtesy when she felt a presence together as she was seized from the back, her hand was twisted as the knife she's holding was brushed from her and abruptly, she felt the knife propelled to the skin of her throat.  
Immobilized. Gin barely breathe, one flinched and the sharp knife will definitely sliced her throat.

" I can read your eyes."
Gin was surprised as it is indeed Kireisake who seized her stealthily, she felt a little inferior as she didn't noticed faster and was caught eventually.

Right in the darkest of the cell bar, a soft screeched was heard,

" Are you awake... Verlaine-san? "
A hint of familiarity was detected on Kireisake's voice, nonchalantly as he dropped the knife and Gin immediately caught it.

Kireisake glance at the frozen cold Gin, astounded as she never knew that Kireisake knew her master.
Kireisake can clearly see Gin's piercing stare, she's asking him but still never voiced it out.

" He... helped Mori-sensei. You see, I'm genetically engineered as I was a sentient manifested from the strong bond between Chuuya-san and that person, Dazai... "

" So you know Dazai already even though we were told not to let you know..."
Gin concluded inwardly.

" I'm awed as you're beyond this silent. How boring. "
Kireisake nonchalantly added as he sat to a small single chair.

Perplexed. Gin could only stare as Kireisake continued to try talking with Verlaine, telling him how his yesterday and today gone by but Verlaine stayed still and as always one with the dark, unsure if it is listening or not, it didn't respond even a bit. 
Gin's suspicion was confirmed, Kireisake was indeed faking a demeanor in front of everyone-----but of what purpose? Gin cannot assess an answer to that.

Kireisake's indifferent tone and nonchalance was like of a certain someone, Gin flinched from realization as she could see that Kireisake was so much alike with Dazai, not just with the appearance but of characteristics as well. Gin concluded that how he acted in front of everyone was just a facade, a deceit to deceive everyone, including his parent, Chuuya...

" Is..that right but why ...? "
Gin was puzzled inwardly.

" You may go first and just to remind you but never breathe out even one word of this, okay? I don't need to act like a child to you anymore and from that, I know you know my capabilities already."

Gin glanced at Verlaine from the dark then pierced a look at Kireisake until she turned her back and left the place with a thought,
" How I'd wish you'd be more like Chuuya-san and not like that guy..."
