K: The 6th King [1]

Chapter 4 III: Knot

•Eon and Ion, the 6th King, the Purple King•

We were following Aon back to his place. He use to be our medium that sees everything while we're asleep so that's how we got up to date.

He agreed on being our medium and we were glad but now since we don't really need one. We offered to him if he wants to become a Clansman. Thankfully, he agreed.

He owns a tower from his father but he turned it into a nightclub for strains. He said he had been waiting for us to reawaken so he provided a place for us to stay. We believed him of course because he was our medium before and one of the downsides of being a medium, your secrets are revealed.

He's an open book so there's nothing much to know of. As we walked down the streets, we could already see a tower from a distance. It was already nighttime and we hoped to go to sleep.

Eon

We are at our room now and I quite like it. It had stuff that we don't usually have as a child. I was playing some toys on the floor and Ion was reading a novel on the bed that some boy gave that Aon introduced to us.

The reason why we haven't gone to sleep yet is because Aon explained that the strains here are nocturnal. It would be easier if we were to follow the schedule since our clan is only active at night.

I guess I don't mind. I can sleep later. I sleep to much anyway.

"Wow," someone said. "You guys are so cute."

I looked to see another person at the door and saw a girl that had dark blue hair. I blushed when she said I was 'cute'. Aon was beside her and I'm guessing he wants her to be a Clansman like the guy before.

I put my hand out to her and she gladly shakes it. The purple aura transferred into her body.

"I'm Mikasa," she said as she continued to watch me play with a toy that I named 'Piko'.

"Eon," I said my name in a shy tone. "Do you want to play with me."

"Sure,"

I smiled.

Ion

I was reading a novel from a guy that gave it to me who was called Oreki earlier. I don't know what it is about but so far it looks like a romance novel.

I'm a fast reader like Eon and can understand it as quickly as I read it. It kinda sucks the joy out of it actually.

I've never read books like this before as we only have books that contains knowledge and non-fiction. I was content at reading the book.

It is about a clumsy girl who encounter the love of her life who may or may not be the end of her life.

I did notice a few people came by while I was reading. Oreki, Mikasa, Jason, Shizuka, Hikaru, Shin, Yui and Doll.

When I had ask about the reason of Doll's name. She told me it was a street name like Shin's whose full street name was Shinigami.

I realize now most of the people here are abandoned and mostly brought in by Aon. Was this how other people treated us because we're strains?

"Ion, what are you reading?" The oldest one by the age of 23-years-old said, Hikaru.

I showed him the cover and his face turn red and then white somehow. I look at him in confusion.

"Twi...Twilight...," was his stuttering reply. "Who gave him this!"

He took the book away from me as he saw the title. I tried to reach out for it but it only made him carried it higher.

"I did," Oreki said.

The book was thrown at great speed and it finally hit Oreki on the head.

"Ouch!" Oreki shouted. "What was that for."

"That's for giving a romance book about vampires to a kid. You sick pervert." Hikaru said.

"But there's nothing sexual about it!"

"I bet that Hikaru wants the twins to maintain their innocence," Doll mumbled.

Hikaru just paled by the thought. There's nothing sexual about the book. I don't get what's wrong. Does he not want me to know of vampires? Or know about romance?

Eon

"We're not that young," Ion said

"It gives you no excuse for yo—," he began to protest but was cut of by Aon.

"Come on, man." He said. "It's legal, no harm done."

I watch as Hikaru sighed and pick up the book and gave it to Ion. Ion grinned and showed a paired of fangs to him. Hikaru paled while I laughed at his scared and shocked expression.

"I'm sorry," I said. "Ion has a way to change his appearance and I can't help but tell him to mess with you a bit."

It was quite true since my brother is also strain like me. As a strain, I can imagine something and make it real but it cannot be on me for Ion can only do it.

I watch as Hikaru went and examined Ion's fang and touch it. The tooth was sharp enough to make his finger bleed.

"Ah!" Hikaru shouted. "It's real!"

"Now look what you've done," Ion said in a teasing tone and took his finger and licked the blood. Hikaru blushed madly as I sighed.

One thing that they should know about is that.

"Ion!" I said as I walked over to him and slapped him. "I should've warn you guys. Whenever his appearance changes, his attitude tends to change also. Are you okay now?"

I put my hands on his shoulder. Ion looked daze but he came back with a confuse look.

"Did I?" He said questioning and it was now his turn to blush. "Sorry."

"Kawaii!" Mikasa shouted.

"Okay," Aon said with an awkward tone. "Come on, let's have dinner."

Dinner? With others? I've never had that before. Could I finally be able to have a normal life now? Could I consider them as family?

I look towards Aon and gave him a smile.

"Okay,"
