Chapter 26

Trance's eyes wandered inside of the room with lights emitting from her window. Headache strikes on her head as she lifted her gaze. Trance let out a low groan of distress while massaging her temple. She walked towards the bed and allow herself to do a dramatic fall.

"Another suffering. Nothing change. At least there's no Felix here to annoy the heck out of me." She paused when she remembered what he did the last time he tried to take her home. Trance sits down and hugged the nearest pillow.

'Yeah, we're not in a relationship but the agreement says that we are.'

'What?!'

'Not leaving my side.'

'Haha. Fuck no.'

Trance shivered by the sudden thought. She fiddled her pillowcase still cringed on the flashback. No hint of fondness but a pure annoyance. Trance blinked twice before tossing the pillow on her side. She stood up straight and smugly faced the cream-colored wall.

"I must get rid of this stupid thought."

The knob creaks, making Trance turn in its direction with wide eyes. She went back to her bed and leaned over to the headboard. She silently greeted Kai who entered the room with his files and turned on the lights. "I bring a book for you." He said as he showed the book to her.

"Do you want to read it? Here. This is yours now." Kai handed her the book and Trance started flipping it. His eyes narrowed on the scarlet spot on her forehead, "That one is mine. I went back to Athens just to take that one because I know you'll probably like it. But can I know what happened on your forehead?" Trance give him a smug smile and rubbed the spot.

"I just need to get rid of some stupid shit."

"That's why you flicked your head?"

"Who said I flicked it? I flicked my head against that wall."

"You flicked yourself against this wall?" Kai turned at her in disbelief right after he realized. He cleared his throat and reclined on the swivel chair, "Your brother didn't tell me. He's not saying anything. Last week is my last visit on him and he probably attempted to kill me." Kai reluctantly watched her. He reluctantly opened his files and steal a glance at her bright face.

"That book is also the last one and thankfully my friend is the author so he give me that but I insisted that I should pay for that masterpiece but he smacked me on my head and told me that the masterpiece should be admired by everyone and that admiration is not for sale ."

"Indeed. A masterpiece should be admired." Trance runs her fingers through her wet hair and sits on the edge of her bed. She feels like she's inside of the novel as she read every phrase and makes her eyes glued to the book, not minding the doctor.

"I heard of this book before. I wanted to have one yet it was rumored to be sold out." Kai scanned the girl who's far calmer than their first encounter. She's not wearing the clothes that she did wear the first time she got here. All she wears are a pair of white pants and a plain shirt.

"Tell me your whole name." Kai calmly demanded to Trance who's silently reading the book he give to her. Trance did flip the next page of the book then looked at him.

"Excuse me?" The girl raised a question to her using her native language. She narrowed her eyes at Kai then closed the book and place it on her side.

"Your name. I'm asking your full name please." Trance suspiciously eyed him and shrug.

"Miyazaki Trance. That's my whole name."

"I mean your Japanese name." Trance did laugh and motioned him to sit beside her. She tapped his arm then smiled.

'Haru is probably scaring him.'

"My brother challenge you, isn't he?" Kai stared at her in amusement and shock at the same time. "W-What?" Trance giggled and nudged him playfully.

"That one, he likes playing games although he always did is to sleep."

"But he murdered five agents and twenty guards!" He raised his smooth voice at her. Trance hummed in amusement; knowing Kai is not lying. She can tell it because Trance can read him like a book and she's doing it right now. "I know." She said although she just heard what her brother had done from him seconds ago. For Trance when the person she knows kills someone, it's not new for her.

"What an indeed bellyache. I'll tell you once you bring me to him."

"I'm afraid I can't do that."

"You can, I can hold my promise. Can you bring me to him now?" Kai nodded and marched towards the door then open it. They both went outside and walk past two doors before Kai anxiously knocked on the door three times.

"Are you sure that this is his room?"

"Yes. I've been here last Thursday."

"Oh! Yesterday?"

"No. Last two weeks ago."

Trance is about to open her mouth to speak but the door slammed open and a guard flew outside. She casually scanned the guard's bloody face while tapping her shoes against the cold floor. Both of them heard the scream from the inside and Kai covered her ears. Another two guards got thrown outside, lifeless. Kai raised his hand, halting the guards from making their way inside. Behind them is a group of people wearing white overall clothes. Their faces are covered by masks, causing Trance to barely catch a glimpse.

"Twenty-one."

"Twenty-three."

Then the savage beast got pulled outside by the seven guards. "Bring him to Ms. Trance, we need to clean this room." It was Hermes who speak while covering his nose. The cleaning team bowed at him first upon entering. "What's with this guy? He can withstand this bloody room and it's smelled like decomposing-----" Hermes almost throw if he didn't cover his mouth. Even Trance and Kai covered their noses for the reason that they also can't withstand the stomach-churning smell.

"Where did you go to bring him? We're here." Kai asked the guards who's trying to put the 6 feet tall male on his knees. Trance is hiding behind her doctor while peeking on her brother who's wearing a straight jacket and smiling like a madman.

"On Ms. Miyazaki's room." One of them replied before putting a muzzle on him. "He injured Brian." After he said that, the guard smacked Haru's head who's emotionlessly staring at Kai. He shifted his gaze at Hermes; silently mocking and daring him in spite of what's the current scenario.

"Wait! Don't hurt him!" Kai stopped one of the guards who attempted to kick the guy to his back.

"It's you, Apollo!" Hermes tried to hug him but Kai did glare at him. "What's up on your mind to make him wear this, Hermes?"

"Well he injured four guards and one out of four of them is alive. You obviously see that a 16-year-old insane patient of yours did all of it. He's a minor yet living his life in crimes."

"He didn't do anything to you and for fuck's sake, He's 17." Kai calmly added and checked the male who's now staring at him.

'Stupid, I'm 18 now.' Haru thought while the guards are holding him down.

"Are you okay?" He immediately take the handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the blood on Haru's face.

"He broke my bones once, Kai," Hermes said in-a-matter-of-fact tone.

"Well, good thing you're still alive." The brunette retorted before he live back to his pocket the stained cloth. Trance whistled, earning a narrowed look from Hermes. She glanced at Haru and flashed a grin.

"Move aside, We'll handle him," Kai commanded to the guards before Trance and he assisted the kneeling male once. Hermes slides his hands inside of his pocket while his gaze tailed them. He tilted his head as eyes glued on Trance, "Hold up. Is that Ms. Miyazaki?"

"Indeed, Mr. Hermes."

"Who's that guy?" She asked her doctor who's too occupied with removing the straight jacket, "Agent 1213, his codename is Hermes and he's the one who brings you here." Trance got silenced before she smiled at Haru and sits beside him. Kai stands up then started rummaging on his files.

"You considered him as part of that mind game of yours, aren't you? That brunette takes my interest too. He's too determined to know our identities." Trance whispered.

"It's their headmistress's orders to dig into our identities. Yes, I consider him so play along."

"All I want is to go home, you brat."

"Valdez is around if you do."

"Damn, I forgot about that."

"See?"

"Let's talk for---"

"I missed you!" She said and attacked her brother with a tight hug. "You've gotten more paler and your hair has gotten longer. Don't worry me too." Trance giggled while Kai pulled the chair then sit on it.

"You seem like happy with your brother than the man came here." Trance grimaced.

"Is he your boyfriend, Trance?"

"He's not but our agreement of not leaving his side makes him sound like one. Ha! That motherfucker annoys me." Trance let go of her brother and sit beside him. "See? I told you he's calm. Hiro is calm if the guards are not there to piss him off."

'Or he's only calm because you're here?'

"Trance, about your promise. He's already here." Kai can't focus on Trance because of the intimidating and hostile presence and stare of someone beside her.

"Ah! Sorry, I forgot to answer you earlier. My name is.." Trance reclined while her eyes are wandering around; trying to recall something. She scratched her head, "My name.."

"It's alright if you don't want to tell it, yet."

'What's with their family and these siblings is not normal too. Trance seems like her screw loosened up and her brother can kill without any weapon on his hand.'

"How old are you, then?"

"I'm 18? Wait!" Trance count on her fingers while Haru leaned to her and whisper something to her ears.

"Right! I'm 19! My birthday have been passed. It should be the day after he bring me here."

"Happy Birthday then, even it's late." Trance smiled and stood up.

"Thank you, Kai. Now, excuse me because I'm going to the bathroom."

The room she's using right now have nice bed and stuffs. It does have bathroom too with a shower, big thanks to Hera, Trance is comfortable with her new room.

Kai awkwardly tapped his pen at the table and trying to make himself busy with the files although he already write the information he got from Trance.

"I..I already did what you said. C-Can you tell me now who are you?" Haru stand up and walk towards him slowly. Frightening the brunette and grip hardly on his pen.

"Haru." He pulled Kai by his arm, making him winced in pain as Haru's nails dig on his skin. "Ah!" A sadistic smirk crept on the dominant male's lips before he tugged him closer.

Kai looked at the bathroom door but there's no sign of Trance going out.

"Y-Your n-name is Haru? Then where's Hir----" Haru's hand trailed to his neck then through his hair. He leaned to his ear and nibbled it, sending unpredictable feeling on Kaizer.

"One question per task, little deer."

"Haru! S-Stop doing that." Kai tried to push him away but the dominant male placed a kiss on his neck. "Stop what?" Kai gasped when he grabbed his buttocks and licked his neck.

"Nice show you got there." Trance nonchalantly said and sit on her bed. Kai froze but Haru didn't. "Go on, don't mind me. I won't look." She turned around. The brunette push him and look away from embarrassment.

"See? Your secret is safe from me. Izanami is my name by the way."
