Chapter 106
Seiji roamed his eyes all over the building and he couldn't find what he is really looking for. Vega had already toured him under the building where his captives are and it didn't surprise him at all now because he had been expecting those images and he is searching for the person who had come out from his globe named Slasher Daemon. He believes he had heard that name before and if he was right then it was the famous twin detective and he was surprised that even he was also a captive of Vega.
From what he felt outside there is someone who is secretly observing them and even Vega felt that too so he needs to finds it before he. He stretched his arms out as he had laying in his bed for a matter of time and Vega had told him to rest before they get into business. He wasn't surprise anymore that even the room he was at looks like a condominium unlike from the physical appearance from the outside it is totally sick from the inside but it is only for the both of them. They have different rooms but they are just near to each other's room.
He took a long deep breath and exhaled all of those he wants to clear his mind of what he truly wanted from the first place. He admits he wanted war from the beginning which is why he had himself next to Vega and wanted justice for their parents. He just wanted a normal war that would sent fears all over the world what he just doesn't want was Vega's belief because it was insane. He didn't expect it from Vega and he doesn't even know that but he had it witnessed before his own eyes. Vega was eating his enemies and even drinking their own blood and what will come after that? What will be the worst of it? He believes that is not the only thing he would see to lease and he can't get those things into his system not even when he gets old. Seiji is an open minded person but he is not that kind of lunatic to even eat a human being because that was really sick and insane to do and he then conclude that Vega is getting to scariest part he is indeed a crazy man.
Seiji cursed under his breath and brushed his hair using his fingers, 'What kind of war is this?" he asked to himself and it had been many times he had himself that and even though he already know the answer he still keeps on asking it.
He groaned and decided to take a long shower to freshen up his mind. He was about to get up when there was something in his system that was telling him to go back under the building and just wander around. He shook his head because he doesn't want to give in or dive in into his feelings because it might get him into trouble and even though he was trusted so much of Vega he doesn't want to be one of his enemy because he knew what he is capable of even though they are related. He can do anything and no one would ever stops him even the gods.
Seiji smiled at the thought because it does look like a joke because even the gods are on his side. He gets a towel from the cabinet and gets inside of the shower room. He lighted up a scented candle and decided to just get into the tub and relax all of his body and it seems like it had been ages since he had himself dip into the water with scented candles and have the word relax into his mind. As soon as he gets into the tub he moaned as the water starts to seeps through his skin and it was warm and it slowly gets cold. He wants to get away from the thoughts that was currently running to his mind. He wanted to get away even just for how many hours.
'This is nice," he moaned under his breath as he inhaled the air which was now filled with the scented candle that he had lighted up. Vega didn't failed to know what his favorite was and those are Dark Rum and Bamboo Rain scented candles which he had lighted up simultaneously.
From earlier he wanted to betray him but thinking what Vega had done to his life he had so much to thank him because he was the only person who stands by his side to when the days had been bad for him. He was the one who keeps cheering him up and had given him a shelter when he had nothing to go to because the friends that he knew didn't even want him because he had nothing.
Seiji washed his face with the water and sigh. 'I don't know what to do already," he uttered under his breath and drown himself to the water for how many minutes.
After he lift himself out of the water he made a final decision of what his side into and that is to be in the side of his own cousin and he will totally accept the fact that it is what it is and that was his fate was already written and that is to be in the side of his cousin. He will now accept the fact that he will end up into the hell himself.
He guesses he needed to talk to Vega after his bath and he need to do that urgently or if not he will totally loss his mind and he needed his advice.
'I am totally losing my mind," he groaned and gets out of the tub as soon as possible because it keeps chanting into his mind that he needed to talk to him right now and as he look at the time it is already seven in the evening.
He haven't have eaten anything so maybe Vega would mind wanting him to cook for something for them. It had been seems like ages since he had himself cooking into the kitchen all of it seems like ages which makes a laugh escapes from his lips. He gets a trouser and just s plain white shirt for him to dress on and he was goof to go to Vega but before that he looks at his reflection to the mirror and smiled, he needed that to keep on going.
Seiji started knocking to Vega's door and from his third knock the door opened welcoming his the sleepy Vega who is still squinting his eyes and was ashamed of it because he had awakened him up.
'Sorry it looks like you are in your deep sleep. I'll come back tomorrow," he apologize and was about to walk out when Vega called him with a small laugh.
'No, silly let me guess you are famished right?" he asked which also makes him laugh about it and nodded at the same time.
'Well then let's cook I have a lot of meet in the fridge. Help yourself there and I know you missed the image of the kitchen where you wanted to cook," he said and Seiji gets himself into the room which Vega immediately locked it.
'There's the kitchen and the ingredients were already there just tell me what to do to help you," he said as he gestured him where the kitchen is.
Seiji shook his head and pointed him the chair for him to seat in. 'No, all you have to do right now it take a seat and just wait," he said which Vega nodded his head and walk himself to where the steel chair is and just watch him gets the ingredients that he wanted to cook.
He gets a meat into the fridge and other ingredients that is have to put in there and potatoes which makes Vega furrows his brows as he watch him peel all of those four big potatoes.
'What's with potatoes?" he asked which makes Seiji smiled as he looks at him.
Sieji shrugged his shoulders and replied, 'This is how I like it and promise you will also love this too," he said which makes Vega raise his eye brows and just shrug off his shoulders while laughing.
As soon as Seiji was done cooking he placed the food into the table and placed of at least two plates for them while Vega gets a wine for them to drink.
Vega moaned as soon as he takes a bite of the food. 'This is so good, Seiji. I bet you would get hundreds of customers to buy this kind of dish," he praised which makes Seiji smiled as he took a bite and his plate was nearly empty because he was after all he is hungry.
'Yes, the meat is so tender," he said as he took the last bite of it and sips a wine after that.
Vega smiled as he wipe his mouth with the table napkin and took a sip of the wine. 'Of course I have make it sure to myself that the meat is tender after all those are the left soldiers that I found myself clean and I make it tender because I have those flesh hammered," he coldly said as he take a sip of his wine and smiled to Seiji that is now looking pale.
Seiji's eyes widened and he felt his stomach grumbling that he wanted to puke but he couldn't and from how he had chewed it to his teeth, he could still taste the string of the meat that was left on his teeth. He could still taste the steak between his tongue which makes him want to spit his own saliva from swallowing it.
'Why Seiji is there's something wrong with it?" Vega asked and Seiji shook his head and just smiled he had to compose himself to be calm and everything was alright even though his mind wanted to burst things out and wanted to scream at the top of his lungs.
Seiji couldn't imagine that have already eaten a flesh from a human being and he doesn't know which part was it. He couldn't believe what was happening to him right now he had so many things to do like he wanted to put a knife into his stomach to get all of those flesh out of his stomach. He wanted to brush his mouth and he doesn't care if it bleeds the hell out of it all he wants right then was to get out of his room and drunk himself to drown himself to liquors and take a sleep. Imagine all of these was all a nightmare. But it is not a nightmare after all because it was indeed happening before his eyes.
'The steak was perfect because you can't taste the ironic or metallic taste of the human flesh because our bodies are indeed full of iron but as you have cooked it into a steak you won't be able to taste it especially you have squinted it with lemon which makes it even more perfect," he said and as Seiji recall all of those he really needs to take puke as soon as possible so he run to where the sink is and vomit as hard as he could but he couldn't take it out and only his slimy saliva was coming out of his mouth. Vega stands from his seat and brush his back as he take it hard for himself to vomit.
'That is the first, Seiji so it is normal and I understands that but you have to be used to it by now," he said as he keeps on brushing his back and gets him a glass of water for him to drink.
Seiji wipes his mouth and drink the water that Vega had given him he was feeling the surrender that in the end he will end up that way. He had no escape right now because the person in front of him was a devil and if ever he will escape from his grip he will not live long because he already knew what will become of him in the end.
Vega smiled as Seiji was munching and looking delighted from the dish which he have cooked. He had it almost empty his plate and he had planned it for him to eat all of those before finally says where is that meat came from and from what he had expected he looked pale which he had enjoyed watching him the feeling of wanting to puke but he couldn't. He was somehow proud of Seiji because from what he have seen from earlier him eating flesh of a human and drinking its blood he doesn't question him instead he had supported him but as to what he had say he doesn't want to be like him. And now from looking at it he is now like him because he had tasted the most forbidden meat in the world. Eating your own too.
Now that he is brushing his back he is now completely become of him and he was somewhat happy and glad because he had embrace the darkness completely and he understands if he will question himself or even him or making himself to be killed because even him too had gone through that situation. He was once like that but his father help him to embrace all of those he started those times when he was still young but his father never tells him that he was already a flesh of a human body instead he had it witnessed to himself and that made him confront and talk to him.
It was sunny day when he woke up from his sleep. He was tired from last night because of the projects that his teacher had given him and his father had also gives him a hand from finishing all of his three projects. So in order to pay him back he decided to make him some pancakes with his favorite strawberry jam and orange juice because he is planning to surprise him. He was already at the kitchen and it was already seven in the morning and it was Sunday and all of their maids were in their rest day meaning it was only him and his father was left in the house. There was this strange noise, a banging sound which caught his attention so he gets out of the kitchen and walk straight outside of the garden but there was no one there and even the garage was empty. He looks at front of their house and again there was nothing. But as he gets inside there he heard it again banging and banging and he couldn't heard it clearly but it was like as if he could hear something moaning like a fainted sound. He closes his eyes and tries to feel where the sound is and he started to walk that was his exercise he had studied from the internet. When the noise was getting closer and closer he opens his eyes and he found himself from the stairs which going down which his father had forbid him to go. But there is inside of him that is telling that he needed to go down there and see what was happening.
The stairs was only for a person could fit and it was far away from the inside of the house which his father always reminds and forbids him to go down there which was the only rule in the house and even the maid are forbidden to go down there unless they were told to. As soon as he reach the bottom and the door was now in front of him the banging sound had fainted away.
The door was not locked as he grips the doorknob and he slowly opens it carefully not making any sound so whoever was inside will not notice him. The room was dim and he could only see a yellow light that was around the corner which he still needed to walk because he felt that there is something there which he had heard the noise and he smell a foul odor which makes him wanted to vomit. But he needs to holds himself because he had already entered himself inside and he could already hear murmuring sounds which like someone was talking right there and he could now see shadows. He managed to hide himself from the small cabinet which fits his small frame and there was a hole in it that he could peak at and it was the perfect spot because he could see everything. He almost gasp as he see his father and even though his back was facing him he knew it was his father and there are only two people inside and his company was a person that he doesn't know because of the face mask he is wearing and both of them have aprons to themselves and gloves. And there were smudges of blood in their aprons and gloves which he couldn't comprehend if it was just a blood of animals or a thing that he couldn't imagine.
And there he heard them of what they were talking about.
'Does your son already know about this?" the man next to him asked and his father shook his head and smiled as he takes off his face mask.
'No, not yet but in the meantime let us just put this way and soon he will know what he was eating all along. The meat was all consumed by him and even though how much I told those maids that they shouldn't be eating meats yet they still did but it is their fault by the way and not mind. I am just restocking everything in the fridge and this one is special because he is a smart young man with such knowledge so Vega will get a good benefits from him," he said which sent shivers down to Vega's spine as soon as he heard those words.
And then it almost made him gasp as soon as he gets to see what was laying into the metal stretcher as he could describe. He wanted to gag as he see a chop body in the table. He immediately closes his eyes because he doesn't want to look more and he tried himself to get out from where he was hiding when he almost trip himself which he immediately opens his eyes and his father was nowhere of sight anymore and his company was no there too. And he then see the chopped off head of the young man that his eyes were still open which looks like he was also looking at him with his mouth was open wide too like him. He was then lessoned by his father that he was only doing it for his own good and he selecting special persons and not just an ordinary person because he believes that it will help him in the future and it is good for him. It had come onto his dream and from his dream there was an angel who message him to do all of those things which he immediately did.
And from then on he embraces the ritual of his father for him and every end of the week which was usually Sunday he had special dishes that only his father who would come to prepare for him and even him was eating as the same as him. And when he died he promised himself that he will continue his legacy and the words that he had thought him.
And now he is showing it to Seiji and he was proud of him that he didn't even fight back and yell at him instead he had just take into his normal reaction.
'That is totally normal for now, Seiji, and one of these days you will come to use of this," he said which makes Seiji looks at him surprisingly or like in shock.
Seiji couldn't help but to think of how many dishes that he is going to eat into his stomach and what would he do now? Back then earlier when he was in the shower he was already decided that he would be in Vega's side and there is no turning back now and maybe for now he had to rest his mind before he gets into his tracks. He believes that he will get used to it.
'Vega," he called and turned to face him and was taken aback when he was already staring at his their face was just an inch far away from each other and the color of his eyes was somewhat darker and more sinister that he could imagine.
It was scary and he should be feared by every person he would meet and even the devil would bow into him.
'Yes, Seiji?" he answered as he smiled and took a step back walking to where his seat at.
'N-nothing," he replied and he hated himself for stuttering and his hand was chilling and also shaking which he tried to make it stop but it just won't so he just lets it and tries to calm himself down.
Vega gestured him to seat back to his chair and silently he do so. He inhaled and sigh and tries to get his wine glass but his hand was still shaking which he hated it and tries again to stop it as he holds his hand and reached out the glass again to take a sip.
He was feeling weak and feeling wanted to faint but he drank all the wine that was inside of the bottle and Vega had pour him again some of it but he wanted to full his glass which Vega did. It was just a wine but he had drink of at least five bottles of wine causing him to get dizzy and now he was drunk but he still could hear Vega talking even though his eye lids wanted to close and wanted to sleep but he stops himself because he wanted to get even more drunk even if it just a wine.
A smile was slowly written on Vega's thin lips as he raised the empty bottle just above his head and said, 'This wine is one of my favorites and I have purchased this rack of bottles from France, Germany, and Spain. But all those bottles have this special ingredient and that is blood from the most genius people that you will ever meet even bloods of royals are in there and just a half cup of the blood was mixed in every bottle so that the taste and odor of wine will not entirely vanished but as you can see you are enjoying it, Seiji," he said and those lines were all blurry from the ear of Seiji.
Seiji couldn't hear him entirely right now and his vision was becoming blurry and what he had heard was only the word blood and then before he even knows it he was knock out and had fallen asleep.
'Good night Seiji and great meal for today."
