See Into the Eyes of a Medium

Chapter III “A Medium Threat”

A week passed with Rukia in their home. True to her word they hardly noticed her at all. However that was simply because she was too sick to really do anything. They were all back at work getting started on December’s quota, but Suichi was killing himself trying to do the same. He was still healing and working at all hours of the day and most of the night. It was starting to take its toll on him and by the end of the first week of December…he was just as sick as Rukia.
“It’s one hundred and four you’re staying home.” Announced Kyo as he checked a thermometer.
Suichi was sitting on the couch with the afghan clutched around him, his face was a little flushed from fever and his forehead beaded with sweat.
“I said I’m fine Kyo, I can’t skip work if I wanna live to see Christmas.” Replied Suichi.
Kyo folded his arm, “Oh please Suichi if you work as you are right now you won’t life to see past Monday.”
“Fuck this I’m leaving.” He sighed and stood throwing the afghan on the couch.
He had taken two steps when he got light headed and wobbled. Kyo grabbed his arm to try and keep him standing, but Suichi was too big for him to hold up and he simply took him down with him. Kyo was glaring at the ceiling under Suichi who had his face in the carpet.
“…you’re staying.”
“Ok.”
Soon Suichi was lying on the couch with a cloth on his forehead and two doses of flu medicine in his system. He was almost completely out of it, but not quite asleep. Kyo put the phone next to his table and he left to go to work. Suichi heaved a deep sighed and closed his eyes.
Rukia, meanwhile, was starring at the ceiling. She was bored as hell so when she heard the front door close she got up. She always went around the apartment when every one was gone. She stood in her underwear and she looked through Suichi’s drawers. She chuckled and grabbed one of his big T-shirts and slipped it on before she walked out into the hall. She went into the kitchen and saw the pot of coffee and helped herself before she went to the living room.
She took a sip of coffee and looked up with the cup poised to her lips. She saw Suichi on the couch now completely asleep. She slowly set down the cup and walked over to him. She felt the side of his face with the back of her hand and she shook her head. She went to the kitchen and she got to work.
Suichi woke to a small crash. His body felt drained and achy from the fever and he was cold and groggy. He heard another crash come form the kitchen. He sat up and he slowly stood trying not to make himself dizzy again. He slowly walked to the kitchen and he peeked in. His jaw dropped when he saw an enormous mess in the kitchen and Rukia mincing something in a bowl.
“Hey, feeling any better?” she asked him with out looking up which kind of startled him.
He walked into the kitchen, “What the hell are you doing to my kitchen!?” he asked her incredulously looking at everything.
“What else do you do in the kitchen? I’m cooking?” she replied pouring what ever she had minced up into a pot on the stove.
He looked in and covered his mouth and nose with distaste.
“What on God’s green earth is in this?” he asked a little scared of the answer.
The contents of the slowly bubbling pot were pitch black like ink, and thick like motor oil.
“It’s my home remedy, this stuff will have you up and whoring in no time.” She replied with a small smile.
He just stared at her for a second, “Ok…you’re insane…if you think I’m drinking this stuff.”
She rolled her eyes and she stirred the pot and lifted the spoon and he almost gagged when he saw it plop back into the pot. She sniffed it and blinked hard.
“Whew, that’s ripe. It’s ready.” She announced.
She grabbed a spoon and he turned and walked out of the kitchen, but she caught up with him quickly and grabbed the back of his shirt. He easily lost his balance as he was, but she caught him back on her arms and he looked up amazed that she could support him.
“How are you…?” he didn’t get a chance to finish before she shoved the spoon in his mouth.
She held his nose and it was too thick for him to open his mouth so he had no choice, but to swallow. She pushed him up and he ran to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water and downed it. He broke into a coughing fit and spit into the sink. She chuckled walking back in.
She shook her head and dropped the spoon in the sink and folded her arms, “You’re such a baby.”
“Shut up! First you wake me up with this enormous mess, then you force feed me that disgusting…God knows what! And now…!”
“And now you’re fever is gone and you aren’t in any pain.” She said softly.
He blinked at her as he realized she was right. He wasn’t cold or tired any more, none of his wounds hurt and he had just ran with out getting light headed. She giggled and patted his shoulder. She grabbed the spoon and took her own dose and shook her head with her face screwed up.
“But it is extremely disgusting.” She agreed.
She started cleaning up and he rubbed his face and sat down at the bar.
“How did you do that?” he asked her.
“Do what?” she replied as she started to wash her dirty dishes.
“How did you make that stuff, what’s in it?”
She chuckled, “Can’t tell you that.”
“Why?”
“Two reasons…” she started as the turned around and leaned against the counter, “If I told you, then you’d probably throw up right now and it’s my own secret recipe.”
He nodded, “Well now that you’re better you can leave now.”
“…I can’t leave.”
“No…you misunderstood me…you’re leaving, like now.”
She yelled indignantly when he stood and he grabbed her and threw her over his shoulder.
“Put me down you Neanderthal! Don’t make me hurt you!” she yelled angrily kicking her legs.
He snorted, “Please you can’t hurt me.”
She narrowed her eyes and she grabbed his other shoulder and shoved her fingers into a pressure point. He screamed in pain and fell to his knees and she slipped down. She grabbed his shirt and yanked his face into hers.
“Listen up buddy; I have to stay here for a reason. You’re as deep into this as I am now, because if you make me leave and they do catch me I will tell them where I have been the last week…and they will find me if I have no place to stay.” She told him malevolently.
“You wouldn’t dare.” He growled.
She chuckled and rolled her eyes and looked at him in a conniving way and muttered coldly, “I’m the daughter of Gensai Kobayashi…I wouldn’t be telling me what I do and do not dare. Now, I’m going to stay here and hide, but I will try and make this as tolerable for the both of us since it is obvious that you despise me. So stay out of my business.”
She released him and grinned coyly before she returned to the kitchen. He sighed and rubbed his face. He stood and he went got dressed. When he took off his clothes he was very surprised to find nothing, but a set of scars where his wounds used to be. He shook his head and put on his clothes and left the house. He muttered angrily to himself as he went to a regular spot and he waited.

* * *

When he returned home late that evening he was confronted by his angry roommates.
“…what?” he asked looking at them.
“Don’t you what us!” replied Kyo with attitude, “You were sick as hell this morning and you left even though I told you not to!”
“…what are you my father!? Look I’m fine now. Rukia made this stuff and it made me better.”
How ever they didn’t believe him. Kyo sat him down and checked his temperature. It was normal and he frowned.
“…You’re really better? Just like that?” asked Kaito a little amazed.
He nodded, “She wouldn’t tell me how she made it, but now she’s better too.”
“Good then she can leave.” Said Kyo.
Suichi took a deep breath and sighed, “She’s staying.”
“What!?” they all said at once.
“Why is she staying!?” Asked Shane incredulously.
He ran his fingers through his hair, “She won’t leave and she said that if we throw her out and they find her she’s gonna tell them where she’s been hiding all week. We’re stuck.”
“Oh that bitch.” Said Kyo angrily through his teeth, “After what we did for her and she’s just going to play us like that?”
“What you really think I was just gonna leave? When he already thinks I’m not here?” asked Rukia stepping from the kitchen.
She was dressed differently now. In a pair of ripped denim jeans, a black tank top with a silver design on the front and a bandana in her hair.
“Uh…where did you get those clothes?” asked Suichi.
“I snuck back into my house and packed a bag.” She replied.
“Are you insane, what if they saw you come in here!?” shouted Suichi standing up.
“Pfttt! As if I’d be so careless to be seen. I did this at noon today, if any one saw I’d be dead by now and so would you guys.” She replied, “Now come on dinner is done.”
“You cooked?” asked Toya a little surprised.
She folded her arms, “Well yeah, after threatening to rat you guys out I felt kind of bad, so I figured I’d do something. Besides some of the junk you guys buy is disgusting. I wouldn’t even let a seven year old eat it.”
She went to the dinning room and they all looked at each other. They followed her there and the table was set, the room was unusually clean and there was hot food on the table.
“You know for a bunch of gay guys, you are extremely messy.” She said sitting at the table.
“Gay we may be, but men none the less.” Replied Toya as they too sat at the table.
They served themselves, Kyo remained stubbornly silent as he ate, but the rest had gone too long with out a home cooked meal to keep quiet.
“…This is good…really good.” Said Shane before he served himself some more.
“No kidding you keep cooking like this and I just might forgive you.” Said Suichi.
She chuckled, “The power of good food is amazing. I always put a little miracle in everything I cook.”
She winked at Suichi and he eyed her for a moment. She continued eating, but stopped mid-bite. Her chopsticks poised in the air she lifted her head. Suichi looked up and he frowned. She seemed to be stuck or something. He flinched when he saw that same rainbow like sheen gloss over her eyes. She seemed to snap out of it and she dropped her chop sticks and stood abruptly. Every one looked up.
“You guys have medical supplies?” she asked
“Uh…yeah, why is something wrong?” asked Toya.
“Just get them ready I’ll be right back. Be ready to go to the hospital too.” She said and she ran out of the room.
They looked at each other and went after her, but when they got to the door she was already gone.

* * *

They were ready for her when she arrived back after half an hour, but they weren’t ready for what they saw.
“Yataro!” screamed Kyo putting his hand over his mouth.
Rukia was carrying him on her back and he was very bloodied up. She looked a little beaten her self, but fit enough to carry him.
“It’s not as bad as I thought. We won’t have to take him to the hospital.” She said as she set him on the couch.
He groaned and rolled his head to the side his blue hair stained with blood. His face was bruised and streaked with blood and he was cradling his left arm to his chest. Kyo sat next to him and stroked his hair as Toya unpacked the first aid kit.
“Oh my God, what happened to you? Are you alright, what am I saying of course you aren’t…” said Kyo rapidly on the verge of tears.
“I…I’ll be fine Kyo-kun…it’s just my brother again. I thought he was gonna kill me…but Rukia showed up again…like always.” He replied trying to give Kyo a reassuring smile through the pain.
Toya took his arm and he whimpered and clenched his eyes shut as tears ran down his blood stained face. Kyo looked at Rukia as did a couple of the others.
“I…dated his brother once and the first time I had seen what he had done…I took care of it ok, stop looking at me like that!” she finally blurted out because they kept on starring.
“You took care of it?” asked Suichi skeptically.
Yataro chuckled in spite of himself, “Don’t underestimate her, I’ve seen her take down bouncers twice your size. Ow!”
“What did you do with this brother?” asked Kyo.
She chuckled and lounged back in a chair, “I left him unconscious at the door of the police station with a dime bag on his lap. We won’t be seeing him for a while.”
“…Ok, forget what ever I said about you before…you are awesome.” Said Kyo and she grinned.
After he was treated Kyo took Yataro to his room and Toya worked on a cut over Rukia’s eye.
“You knew he was in trouble…how?” he asked as he cleaned the cut.
“Women’s intuition?” she tried.
Suichi shook his head, “Not even, you froze up and did that thing with your eyes… are you like psychic or something?”
Toya chuckled and put a butterfly over the cut to keep it closed, “You’re a medium.”
“A what?” mused Shane.
She sighed, “A medium, it’s kind of like a psychic except we’re real. That’s what got me into this mess in the first place.”
“Yeah…we never asked, why did your dad disown you?” asked Kaito.
She smiled as Toya finished and then she leaned back and slipped her hands behind her head.
“It’s a beautiful story. My mother would be proud. See I had known I was a medium since I was like twelve and my father got this idea that he could use me to foresee things like bets and stocks, but I can’t see on command. So that was a dream quickly forgotten, but what it did allow me to do was to see the things my father planned. Horrible things not even you could imagine. I’d see these things and being as young as I was they more often than not made me sick to my stomach. They kept coming to me more and more often until I couldn’t take it any more. I couldn’t just sit by and watch my father do these things to real people. So when I was thirteen I stole my first gun from him, I followed a couple of his little henchmen and when they came to my father’s unfortunate victim I shot them before they could do anything and told the guy to run.
“That was also when I decided to become and active photographer. I have almost every crime my father has committed in one camera. I did shit like that with out my father knowing it was me until…a week ago. There was a big shipment of a new kind of poison my father was using to get back at his bad drug dealers. I knocked the guy in the truck unconscious drove it to a cliff side and pushed it over the edge. My old man had been following me and he beat me half to death. I went to the cops with my pictures, but they caught me half way and tried to finish the job and dumped my body in an ally. But all they had was the pictures. I have the negatives, but I can’t go anywhere near the cops since the station is under watch to keep me away from there. You know the rest.”
Kaito shook his head, “Man you got a lot of guts.”
“No shit.” Agreed Shane.
“Yeah right, if I had gone to the cops before I got caught they would have been put away indefinitely.” She replied and shook her head.
She stood with a yawn.
“I’m going to bed.”
“…Wait hey!” said Suichi standing and she stopped and looked back, “I’m sleeping in my bed tonight got it?”
“…Ok, but you should know I’m a cover hog.” She replied.
He smacked his forehead and ran his hand down his face, “I meant alone, you dunce! You’re sleeping on the couch!”
“Oh excuse me; I forgot you’re the big man of the house. Fine, I’ll sleep on the couch, but be prepared to hear me bitch and moan like you have never heard before.” She replied and sat on the couch.
He rolled his eyes and went to his room. The others got up to go to bed, but she stopped them.
“Toya tomorrow when you go out stay away from gutters. Shane, beware of men with sunglasses and Kaito…take very good care of the man with blue shoes.”
They all looked at her bemused, “Huh?”
“You’ll see. Good night.”
They hesitated, but went to bed. She grinned and she got undressed and laid down on the couch and went to sleep as well.

* * *

The next morning they went to the kitchen and were all a little surprised if not disturbed to find an eighteen year old in her underwear cooking them breakfast.
“…Uh…I’m not sure which planet you come from, but on this one we wear clothes.” Said Suichi too tired to want to say anything worse than that.
She chuckled, “It’s not like you guys are gonna be home anyway.”
Yataro limped in and he made a strange noise between a squeak and a noise of alarm.
“She’s naked!” he yelped red in the face.
She looked herself over and frowned, “I am not, I have on my underwear. It’s not like you’ve never seen them before.”
“That doesn’t mean I like seeing it Rukia!” he yelled, “Go put some clothes on!”
She sighed exasperatedly and she left the kitchen. She came back in Suichi’s shirt hanging half past her thigh.
“Stop wearing my clothes!”
“Would you people stop barking at me!? For the love of Christ, what kind of anal retentive people are you about clothes!?” she shouted fed up.
She carried the food into the dinning room and set it on the table. She sat down a little pissed off now herself and served herself breakfast. After the rest of them left she was stuck with the dishes and Yataro. He sat at the table and watched her as she washed.
“We’re gonna have a late one back today.” She said out of the blue.
“Huh?”
“Toya will be really late to dinner.” She replied and he gave the back of her head a bemused look.

* * *

Shane was a little paranoid that day as he stood in the snow. He pretended like he was just some one waiting when a man in sunglasses approached him and he ended up turning down a lot of good business. He stayed in his little spot thinking of moving some time soon, when he was approached by a very tall and bulky man wearing sunglasses. He swallowed hard and looked up.
“Uh…can I help you?” he asked.
“Maybe you can.” He replied and he flashed some money, “I pay very well for specific services.”
Shane’s mouth slowly hung open as he eyed what he thought could be way more than enough to free him from this hell. But he looked back up into his sunglasses and Rukia’s words rung in his head.
“Uh…what…kind of services?” he asked slowly.
“I’m a little…sadistic.” He replied as a grin curled at the corners of his mouth and it crept him out.
“…I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can help you.”
“Hmm, you sure?” He asked as he traced his finger nails down his arm and Shane shrugged him off and sighed.
“Yes, I’m sure.” He replied.
He shrugged and walked off. Shane let out a hard breath and just moved on a little depressed and angry that that he had turned down such a fantastic offer.

Meanwhile Kaito was standing at his corner kind of talking to himself.
“Blue shoes…blue shoes…what kind of asshole wears blue shoes? I mean Elvis, but come on…I’m not gonna get business from a dead rock legend.” He mutters and he sighed and looked at his own shoes and shoved his toes a little.
He stopped when he was suddenly starring at the tips of a set of blue sneakers. He looked up into a pair of very gorgeous bright blue eyes. There was a young man in his early twenties standing before him with a small grin.
“Hi.” He said, “I’m Eichi.”
Eichi Kawakami
Age: 23
Height: 5ft. 10in.
Build; Tall, lanky, muscular Hair color: Black w/ blond highlights
Eye color: Blue
Ethnicity: Japanese
Sexual Standing: Homosexual

Kaito hadn’t had a customer like this in a very long time. The man was gorgeous from head to toe despite his rather strange choice of foot wear. He had black hair with white blond high lights that kind of stuck up all over the place. His eyes were narrow and beautiful and his full, sexy lips were curved in a grin. He had a small stud in his nose and piercing in his right brow and several along his left ear. He was dressed down in an orange hoody with a set of head phones around his neck and he was also wearing a pair of baggy jeans.
“…Hello there Eichi, I’m Kaito.”
He nodded and Kaito was waiting for him to say something
“Well can I …help you with something?”
“Oh sorry…I’ve never done this before.” He replied rubbing the back of his head a little red in the face.
“That’s ok, why don’t you tell me how much you have and I can tell you how much fun we can have together.” Replied Kaito with a small smile.
He swallowed, “Ok uh, I have…four hundred thousand yen.”
“…” Kaito closed his eyes for a moment, “That’s like a month’s worth of fun.” He chuckled and opened his eyes.
“I dunno, I’ve had a pretty rough month…I think I could make that up in one day.” Replied Eichi with a little more confidence.
“…you know my back isn’t really what it used to be…” said Kaito and Eichi laughed, “But I’ll do what I can to please. Got any special place in mind?”
“I do.”
Eichi took his arm and they walked down the street and chatted a little before they stopped in front of a very expensive hotel.
“Wow, you’re loaded huh?” asked Kaito looking up at the fifteen story building.
Eichi shrugged, “I have some cash to throw around. Shall we?”
They went up to a very nice hotel room and Kaito shook his head looking around. The bed was enormous and everything was so clean and roomy. It would be the first time he had done it not on some stranger’s bed or in a dingy motel room. He took off his coat and hung it near the door as he took off his shoes.
“Uh, make yourself at home. I’ll be right back.” Said Eichi before he stepped into the bathroom.
Kaito stepped further into the room and he sat on the bed and he sighed and laid back.
“God this is the life. I would kill for digs like this.” He muttered to himself.
He yawned and waited quite a good while for Eichi. He sighed and went to the bathroom. It was open just a crack and he peeked in and saw him just starring at himself in the mirror leaning against the counter. But his shirt and hoody were on the floor and he kind of figured why it was taking him so long. He was starring at his chest and side which had a very large scar covering the right side of him. It looked like a very bad burn and on the rest of his body he had slashing scars and small burns and some very violent lashes on his back.
Eichi started when he saw him in the mirror and he turned around.
“What are you doing!?”
“I just came to see if you were ok. You were taking a long time.” Replied Kaito calmly.
Eichi sighed and looked away from him, “Just go, this was a mistake.”
“Why?”
Eichi shook his head and grabbed his shirt.
“Look at me, the only person I can get to be with me I have to pay and I bet even you don’t want to be with me.” He replied about to pull his shirt back on, but Kaito grabbed it and yanked it out of his hands.
“On the contrary, I very rarely get customers as considerate and as…cute as you.” He replied with a small smile.
“You’re just saying that to get my money.” He shot back.
Kaito snorted and rolled his eyes, “This one’s on the house Eichi.”
He grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him down and kissed him hard. Eichi was startled at first, but before it ended he embraced it and deepened the kiss. Kaito parted from him for a second.
“We all have scars, Eichi. They don’t go away, they hardly fade, but what are you going to do about it? The wounds are healed don’t let them hurt you any more.” Said Kaito.
Eichi shook his head, “It’s not that simple.”
Kaito took his hand and placed it on his wrist and Eichi slowly looked down as he fingers scars on his wrists.
“It is that simple, you’re just making it difficult. If you can’t do that then these scars will be the last ones you ever get.”
Kaito took him into the bedroom and he turned off the lights and led him over to the bed.
“…but you’re just a…”
“A prostitute? Most clients I get aren’t really looking for sex; they’re just looking for some one to be close to even if it is probably a lie. Let’s do us both a favor and why don’t you forget that you just picked me up off the street.” He said.
He stretched and yawned.
“Let’s pretend...you bought me a great lunch…” he started as he unbuttoned his shirt, “And after that we went for a long walk in the park until it got too cold.”
He slipped his shirt off of his shoulders and threw it on the ground.
“Then we went to this lovely café where you bought me coffee and we warmed up and talked very intimately.” He continued as he pushed Eichi back onto the bed and he straddled his thighs, “And eventually the tension became too much so we rushed back to the hotel to make love.” He finished with a small grin.
“…sounds like one hell of a date…I wish we had actually done it.” he replied and Kaito chuckled.
He bent down and kissed him more tenderly this time. Eichi slipped his hand over his cheek and then into his hair. He pulled the rubbed band from his hair and let it fall so he could run his fingers through it. Kaito kissed his cheek and moved down to his neck and paused to suckle his soft flesh. He kissed a small trail down to one of his nipples and ran his tongue over it. Eichi looked down watching him as his bright green eyes drifted back up to him as he languidly pleasured him with his tongue. He kissed over to the scarred side of his body and Eichi took in a sharp breath as he licked at his other nipple.
He left another small trail of tender kisses and tiny love bites to his belly button and he ran his tongue around it gently as he worked with the fly of his jeans. He slipped his fingers under the band of his boxers and pulled them down with his jeans. Kaito heart instantly surged with sympathy and dismay when he found scars here as well. He didn’t voice any of his thoughts for feelings, but simply proceeded with his mission.
He was already hard and he was a nice size and circumcised which was rare for a Japanese man, Kaito pondered before he ran his tongue along the length of his shaft. Eichi jerked a little and swallowed looking down. Kaito ran his tongue around the tip and Kaito looked up and saw his face already red and his hands clenching the sheets under him. Kaito took the tip of him into his mouth and gave a small suck, before he dipped his head down completely taking as much into his mouth as he could get. He rolled his tongue around his cock as he sucked him off. Eichi breathed hard and kind of propped himself up on one of his hands so he could watch better. It was suck a sexy sight to watch Kaito pleasure him
Kaito started to move his head up and down on him taking him in deeper each time his head went down. Eichi slipped his hand behind his had and laced his fingers into his hair as he fucked him with his mouth. Kaito took him all the way into his mouth deep-throating him and ran his tongue around the base of his dick as he did. He lacked a gag reflex by now and didn’t mind Eichi pushing down on his head so much. He let him up and he started the motion again before he pulled his head up and licked his lips.
Eichi was looking at him a little out of breath, he was sweating a little and his eyes were hazy with lust. Kaito unbuttoned his pants and he slipped them off and threw them to the ground. His dick pointed straight up as he raised himself over Eichi and brought himself down on his erection. He spread his ass cheeks and slowly pushed himself down, impaling himself on Eichi’s cock. It was a little rough on him with no other lube than his own saliva, but in his own little sadistic way he enjoyed the small pain. It was all just another form of pleasure to him.
He was already feeling completely full of him only half way down his shaft, but went all the way down until he was almost completely seated on his lap. Eichi was panting a little as Kaito braced himself on his chest and started to ride him good and hard. Eichi took his hips into his hands and started lifting and pulling him down faster onto his member. Kaito bit his lip as each stride they took brought him more and more pleasure. Kaito let out a small cry and arched his back when Eichi pulled him down as far as he could possibly go and then thrust up into him.
It hurt a little to have him so deep, but he remained seated here as long as Eichi kept his hips pinned down. He finally released him and he lifted himself with a small sigh and went faster with his strides. Eichi took a hold of his cock as he went and started to give him a hand job as he rode him. Kaito started panting hard and closed his eyes as he kept going. His pleasure was mounting into a spectacular orgasm. He wanted this feeling to last forever, it was so good. He brought himself down hard once more before he came hard onto Eichi’s stomach and chest. Eichi trust up into him once more and came as well, filling Kaito up with his hot seed.
Kaito panted and waited a while before he lifted himself off of Eichi soft member and fell half way on top of him. Both of them panting and sweating.
Eichi swallowed and slowly looked at him, “…wow…you’re really good.”
“Been doing it for five years, I better be.” He replied.
“…why did you become a prostitute?” asked Eichi.
Kaito sighed and he rolled over and grabbed his pants, “Mind if I smoke?”
He shook his head and Kaito lit up a cigarette.
“I didn’t become a prostitute by choice. My father sold me to a brothel when I was nineteen because he got tired of taking care of me. The only way out is the pay off my debt which is how much they bought me for.” He replied.
“That’s terrible.” Said Eichi looking at him.
He shrugged, “I have four roommates in the same boat as me.”
“…why did your dad not want to take care of you?” he asked and turned onto his side.
Kaito took a long drag from his cigarette and blew out the smoke.
“I suffer from a type of dementia. Every now and then my mind kind of wanders and I don’t remember stuff and apparently I’m an intolerable person when I do.” He replied.
He sat up with a sigh.
“This was fun, but if I wanna get out of there any time soon I have to get back to the money making part.” He said going to the bathroom.
Eichi followed him and leaned against the door frame as he washed up a bit.
“…will…I ever see you again?” he asked.
Kaito chuckled, “If you want to, I’m always in that one spot this time of day.”

* * *

Toya was standing in a usual spot. It was unusual that he wasn’t getting as much business as he usually did, but even he had slow days. He sat on the side walk for a while just waiting. He hated his job so much, not so much because it was demeaning, but because it was all so monotonous and routine. He tapped his nails on the ground and noticed the sound he was making. He looked down and brushed off the snow and saw a metal grate covering a gutter. He quickly stood and made to move, but when he turned he was thrown into a wall and his mouth and nose were covered with a wet rag. Out of instinct he gasped and he instantly became light headed. His vision started to go dark and he lost consciousness.

* * *

Rukia had dinner ready when they came home. Suichi didn’t want to stay out late regardless of his situation so he just came home. He showed up at the same time as Kyo and they both were welcomed to their home by the smell of good food. They went to the dinning room and they sat down at the set table. Soon Shane joined them lured to the dinning room by the delicious aroma. After a few minutes they were joined by a smiling Kaito.
“You look like you had a good day.” Said Kyo as he sat down.
“Well I had a free fuck with a really hot guy for the first time in forever.” He replied.
Rukia walked in the with food and set it down.
“You’re day gets better, check your pockets.” She said.
He frowned and he checked his pockets and he blinked and pulled out the enormous money clip Eichi had.
“Oh my God…he must have slipped it into my pocket before I left.”
“Damn, there’s got to be like half a mill in that clip.” Said Shane incredulously.
Kaito chuckled, “Oh yes this was a bitchin’ day! Thanks to you Rukia…I mean what you said…he was wearing blue shoes.”
“Really?” asked Shane, “I avoided guys with sunglasses and I just ended up losing a bunch of business.”
“Yes and unfortunately Toya was a little late on my readings…” she sighed and folded her arms, “Toya is gonna be late and when he does get here…it’s not gonna be good.”
“Why, what happened to him?” asked Suichi.
They heard the door close and they got up and went to the door. Toya slowly walked in with his jacket clutched to his body. Tears were pouring down his feet and his cheeks were red and he looked roughed up.
“Toya are you ok?” asked Suichi going over to him and Toya shook his head.
He fell to his knees his arms curled around his stomach and he whined in pain. Suichi picked him up and took him to the couch. Rukia took off his jacket. He was shivering and pale.
“What happened?” asked Suichi concerned.
“…some…woman she…chloroformed me and took me back to her house…let’s just say she is a sick woman and leave it at that, it’s …too humiliating.” He managed to say before he lurched forward and threw up on the floor.
He coughed and Kyo ran and got a wet towel. Rukia took it and wiped his face.
“Sorry…”
“Some one help him to the bathroom.” Said Rukia.
Suichi picked him up again and took him to the bathroom. He jumped down and ducked his head into the toilet again and threw up. He came up trying to take deep breaths, but only ended up retching again.
Rukia came into the bathroom with a glass of something oddly bright blue and fizzing.
“Here drink this.” She said and he took it into his shaking hand and drained the glass.
He sighed and sat back on the floor.
“You were right…I wasn’t paying attention, I was sitting on a gutter all morning…I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” He said crying harder.
She knelt down and took his hand.
“Calm down Toya, you’ll make yourself sick again. It was a mistake; it’s hard to change something that’s already been foreseen.” She told him.
“…Rukia what the hell is going on?” asked Suichi.
“I foresaw this and told him what I could to get him to avoid it.” she said.
“…Telling him to avoid gutters isn’t avoiding it Rukia!” he shouted.
Toya shook his head, “Mediums can only disclose so much information about their visions before it does or does not come to pass.”
“How do you know about it?” asked Suichi crouching down beside him.
Toya sighed, “Can’t tell you that now.”
Rukia and Suichi soon left him alone in the bathroom and returned to the living room. It had been cleaned and the others looked up.
“He’ll be ok.” Rukia assured them.
They sighed, Shane turned on the TV.
“Girl you are starting to freak me out.” Said Kyo looking at her.
Shane jumped up startling them all as a police report came up, “That’s the guy that tried to buy me off today. He had enough to buy my freedom, but I didn’t take it because he was wearing sunglasses.”
“Are you insane!?” yelled Suichi, but he turned it up so they could hear the anchor.
“…Houko Takani, the infamous Chopper was finally arrested today near two in the afternoon. He was being tracked as he tried to buy off a young man on the corner of Hokage Street, near a local drug store. Houko Takani was arrested when they found several dismembered body parts in his basement of several different strippers and prostitutes…” reported the anchor.
They were all silent before Shane passed out onto the floor and then they wall looked at her. She gave a small grin and she winked.
“I’d listen to me more often if I were you guys.” She said.
“…Oh my God.” Muttered Suichi as he rubbed his face.
