K: The 6th King [1]

Chapter 12 I: Knuckle Bump

•Jason Domyoji, CARNIVAL's leading clansmen•

I'm watching the fight of the Grey King and the Blue King in a building, not far from them. Ion still thinks that I'm going to help him and keep the Blue King in check from getting through. Sadly, that's not the plan for me.

I pulled the string of my bow and an arrow appeared as I aimed at the Grey King. The three Swords of Damocles were shining brightly above me: Blue, Grey and Purple. The Blues' Sword of Damocles looks like it was out of control and if that happens he couldn't attack the Grey King anymore. I would have to strike back and kill the Grey King.

I had almost let go of the arrow when they appeared. I put my bow down as the Blues' Elite Force came crashing down to take care of the situation. The Blue King seem surprise by this and yet he kept a calm face. I glared at my brother from a distance.

Ion was standing a few feet away from the Grey King and he didn't look back as he was running towards the main entrance, probably to stop the Silvers and Reds. He didn't know of the situation that was happening behind him.

I kept my eye on the Blue King and they had blocked an attack from the Grey King. It doesn't surprise me when the Grey King got killed out of blood-loss. This would mean I don't have to do my job anymore.

"NO!" A shout sounded through the battlefield and my head quickly spotted Ion who was already by the Grey King's side. "Why did you kill him?!"

"I couldn't allow such disorder in my way," was the Blue King's answer.

"This is what you call disorder?!" Ion shouted. "We've warned you already! Why don't you understand?!"

"What are you talking about?" The Blues number 2 said who I think it was Seri.

"Eon! Eon is unstable," he shouted. "She's out of her mind!"

Wait what?! What is he talking about?! Is he trying to trick us?! Isn't he the one who is controlling Eon?! What is going on?

Ion's eyes were filled with bewilderment and with a bit of craziness. He's trying so hard to tell us something that we aren't even aware of. Have I been following the wrong commands? I've been tricked, haven't I? Oh god, Fushimi doesn't know anything at all!

Honestly, after what we're going to hear. I didn't think I've ever met anyone as cunning as her.

•Saruhiko Fushimi, CARNIVAL's number 2•

"Misaki Yata, Red Clansman, and–," Misaki started to say as he turn towards me and glared. "Say it!"

I sighed with annoyance and adjusted my glasses. Fine.

"Saruhiko Fushimi, Purple Clansman." I said, which the two made confuse faces at. "I'm a traitor, am I not?"

Misaki just raised one eyebrow at me and clicked his tongue.

"Whatever,"

~•~

That idiot of a boy. I guess you couldn't really call him a boy but you also couldn't call him a man either. Misaki had came all this way to find and save me.

He is simple-minded, stupid, ignorant and doesn't get a thing and yet somehow he's able to come up with a perfect answer. Does he care about me? Even so, he still doesn't understand the reason I betrayed HOMRA in the first place. I thought he would have guessed it by now but I guess I wasn't always that good at expressing myself. No wonder I always go through all these problems just for him.
