I'll Break You...

     ”So he’s that bad… then you getting rid of him would be doing the world a favor. If you killed him and made sure he wouldn’t be causing any more trouble, everyone would have to be eternally grateful for something like that, even if they’re too stupid to realize they even need it.” Looking at this little kid, he didn’t look all that capable of murder. He looked more like the type who’d be locked up in a room crying and cowering at the hands of a serial killer, not the other way around. “Who is it by the way? What did they do to earn such hatred?” 

  'I suppose you're right, although it might upset my doll. He's very sensitive for someone so covered in red. It's a shame, really. I've been thinking about breaking him a little, but I need to deal with this pest first.' A wide smile became him when the other finally asked what he'd been waiting to share with someone. 'I've got men figuring his name out now, but I'm pretty sure he's about my age. You see... I just got a new doll recently. I even let him be my boyfriend.' Despite his apparently pleasant tone, Kanato's eyes were dark and full of nothing save hatred and bloodlust. 'But it seems this idiot didn't know that he was talking to something of mine. He didn't ask me first, and so now he has to disappear.'

Suddenly, her head shifted up and she glared directly into the purple-haired brat’s eyes. "If you want to see Rin I highly suggest you come back later when he’s home and I’m not," she said in the calmest yet sternest tone she could manage. "I’ll say it one more time - leave.”

‘All I know is this person in charge of it is a guy… but who?’

Nothing. Still nothing was coming to mind This was beginning to frustrate him. This was so irritating! He went back to staring at the paper, but it didn’t help at all. Something needed to spark his interest. But what? A few moments after thinking this, he heard someone talk to him. “Hmm?” He lifted his head and met with a stranger’s face. “I’m trying to figure out what to draw. I’m kinda in a rut right now ehe…” Haruka will rub the back of his neck, letting out a small chuckle. Though looking at the other male before him…He got an idea! A grin lit up on his face. “Can I draw you? Do you mind? I’d really like to…!” This may be just what he needed to get rid of his drawing block. He hoped the stranger would be alright with being drawn.

  'I'll allow it just this once. But make sure not to make me look bad, or else I'll have you killed.' He huffed, not a hint of playfulness or sarcasm in his voice as he carefully sat down under the shade, setting the parasol aside. 'And don't forget to include Teddy, too. He likes it when people draw him.' Lavender eyes narrowed ever so slightly as he attempted to appraise the so-called artist. Was he even talented enough to draw Kanato? I doubt it. Although the idea seemed interesting, and he was curious to see the stranger's interpretation of him.

     ”I know a whole lot about dealin’ with insects that feel the need to crawl where they don’t belong. My name is Ivlis.” Guys weren’t generally as familiar with him as girls were, but Ivlis did have a good number of male fans on the island and elsewhere. It wouldn’t be a surprise if this kid hadn’t heard enough about him to make that name stick. “If this person really is that bad then annihilate them.The sooner they’re dead the better for everyone else. What are you waiting for?”

  'Normally I would do just that, but, you see, it seems that he and my doll are friends. So I guess it would be rude to make him disappear? I still don't approve of him at all, though. He's a stupid pervert that doesn't even deserve to rot.' The more he thought about it, the more he wanted that stupid man to just go away. He didn't even want him to suffer; Kanato just wanted to erase his entire existence, even if he didn't understand why. Not that it mattered why, because Kanato always got what he wanted.

     ”But the soul isn’t connected to any blood.” Ivlis corrected the young man of highly ambiguous age, “It’s the heart you should go after. Crush their soul while they’re alive, and then play with them when they’re dead. Don’t you know how to do anything right?”

  'Of course I know that, idiot. I just want to obliterate every trace of this insect.' He listened with obvious curiosity at the stranger's suggestion, then scowled at the last quip so foolishly directed to him. 'I do what I want. Sometimes I get tired of torture in that sense. Sometimes it's more fun to mutilate a corpse than a living person's body. I doubt I'd be able to control myself around this worthless pest. And what do you know, anyway?' He frowned as he huged Teddy tightly. 'Who are you even supposed to be?'

What to draw, what to draw….Haruka couldn’t come up with anything. Well he had some ideas, but he wanted to draw something new. Something he hadn’t drawn before. But what. That was the question. The raven tapped the eraser of his pencil against his chin, eyebrows furrowing as he stared at the paper in front of him. He hoped that coming outside would help. That’s why he was sitting underneath a tree near his apartment complex. Though it seemed nothing was giving him inspiration. Letting out a sigh, Haruka laid his head back against the tree. “This is haaard…”

  'What are you doing?'

“Sweets…? Ah.. no sorry, I’m not really into sweets.. Tea will be fine for me.”

  'Anyway, it's okay. What kind of tea do you want? If you're hungry, we can get you something else.'

“Sure, plus don’t you have tons of sweets to snack on?”

  'You shouldn't spend too much time with them, you might end up catching their stupidity.' He walked with a brisk pace, completely forgetting that they were still wearing the gardening gloves. 'Oh, but yes I do! All kinds of sweets. Do you want me to share with you?~' And just like that, Kanato's mood perked up.

“You sure…?" He looked away "Well.. if you insist on it, then I’ll leave it in your hands." he wasn’t sure why Kanato didn’t want Yuma to help. Does he know them…? He wants to ask but.. maybe some other time.

“Oh! I can ask Yuma! I forgot he told me he owned his own garden!" He scratched his head "I don’t have his number though… So I guess I can ask him tomorrow when his session is over…”

  '...There's nothing Yuma can help you with that I can't. I can do it, just... I'll go to a bookstore. No, I'll just tell one of my maids to go right now!' He sulked as he gripped Rin's arm a bit tighter. 'I don't want one of them over here.'

“Hmm… I think it’s best if we draw it out first…? I mean.. we need to know where exactly to put the seeds… It’s to just be safe, right?”

  'I probably could have thought this out a bit better... I just got really excited that you were coming over, and I didn't think we'd be doing anything so fancy... Oh! Do you want me to call for a gardener, maybe? I'm sure I could get a hold of one! But it might take a while for them to get here... maybe... there's a book on it in the library? No, I think we got rid of those after Mother died...' He continued mumbling to himself, trying to come up with some sort of plan, a way to help Rin make the garden he wanted. 

“Let’s get started!”

  'Should I just start digging? Or... No, we should plan this out first. Where do you want to put the first one? It should be easy from there, right?' He sighed and tilted his head, staring the grass down as if that would make things clearer for him.

“I..I do.." He said weakly "Yes… please… I do want… to be with…. y-you…" His voice starts to trail off and just how red his face can get because it seems like it can’t get any redder.

  'Good. Now, my pretty little doll, shall we start planting the flowers?' Oh, I wish I had a camera... I'll never forget that cute face.
