K: The 6th King [1]

Chapter 8 III: Kaput

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

Ion

We have walked back home with me carrying Eon like she was a baby. Aon and Yui offered to carry her but I just glared at them to back off. By the time we reached our room, Eon had woken up.

I told her to rest up and she gladly did. I sat on the bed beside her after she changed her clothes and cleaned herself up. I did the same too and got in bed. I look up at the ceiling, thinking.

Iwahune had manage to find our weakness despite nobody telling him and when we fought I was still confuse by him. When he had wanted to break our chain, he showed a look of remorse.

Could he have a thing for us...Ah! What am i thinking. There's no way it would be like that.

All I need to focus on is keeping Eon safe. She got hurt because of my recklessness. I wanted to strike back at him so quick that I've forgotten about Eon's safety first.

If I lost her I would be nothing. She would be gone, gone forever into depths of her mind. I don't want that to happen. I can't let her meet the other kings anymore even if it's K. For all I know, they were trying to kill her mind by telling us to be at the Mihashira Tower. I've noticed being in the alliance would corrupt her even more. I thought it would make her heal better but sadly no.

"Ion," I heard a voice coming from beside me. "You're thinking to much."

Her face turned to look me in the eyes that was the same as mine. Since it's morning, I could just see the sunlight reflecting off of her eyes, making it sparkle a bit. Of course, she knew what I was thinking.

"How can you say that when I got you hurt," as I look at her, the blanket covering the both of us.

"I got you hurt too," she said. "You can't turn against me!"

"It was still my fault!" I shouted and I gripped her shoulders. "Why can't you see that. If I hadn't ordered you too turn time and teleported us to that time, we wouldn't be like this right now. Fighting."

"Ion..." She said, about to protest.

"I don't care what you're gonna say next," I said as I began to bring her closer by the waist, our legs intertwined. "We're never going to be safe. Not unless you stay here."

"Wait, what?" she said in confusion.

"You heard me," I said.

I just couldn't bear the thought of her not being safe again. The Grey King knows our weakness now and it would be better if she stays here and maybe cut our ties off with the alliance.

"Ion," she said in a desperate tone. "I'm not going to just stay here because we got hurt. We promise old man we would help."

Oh no. This is not good. She's not agreeing with me. I would have thought she would understand. She's thinking on her own. That's bad. The hit to the chain got her loose. Does she not want us to be together anymore. Maybe I could pursue her.

I close my eyes for a minute. I can't believe I'm going to resort using Eon's weakness for this.

"Hey, let's not think about that now," I said in a happy tone. "Instead, want to see the trick I learned again?"

Eon

What is going on with his mind? One minute his talking about trying to keep me here and the next thing you know it he's talking about the vampire thing from yesterday.

I don't like where this is going. Heck, I can't even read his mind right now. Is he blocking me? Why would he do that? He never tried to do that before.

I can feel him pulling me closer and constricting my legs more, giving me no chance of escape. What is he planning? I still haven't forgotten about his thought of keeping me here if that's what his trying to distract me from.

"Hey," he said, wanting my attention. "See here, the fangs look sharp, don't they?"

"Ion, what's this all about." I said, curiosity is filled in my voice.

He only smiled at me and buried his head into my neck. I gotta admit that it's been a long time he has done this, hugging I mean, but he's creeping me out. What is he going to do?!

"Eon, please just stay here and never go out," he said in a soft soothing voice.

What?! He's still on about that. I can't just sit back here. I promise old man and I never break promises. He would be disappointed at me.

"Ion, I can't," I said trying to push him away and see his face but he kept me in the same position.

"I was really hoping you wouldn't say that," he said in a sad voice.

That's when I felt it. The pain course through me and it hurts. It hurts like hell. He knew I wouldn't have agree to him so he would resort to pain to get what he wants. The thing that I'm scared of getting. Pain.

"Ion!" I shouted. "Please stop."

"Do you agree to stay here." He said.

If I agreed to it, there's no telling what he'll do. I will be kept prisoner; If I don't agreed, he will start to bite me again till I agree. He's trying to overthrow me in my unstable state.

"You know I can't," I said in a weak tone, blood loss taking over.

"Just agree already," he said in a worried tone that almost made me chuckle.

And of course in the end, he won.
