Kamen Rider Kiva: Useless Things, part 9 (Nago/Wataru, rated 13+)

As noted before, spoilers for Kiva 28, and it's Nago/Wataru, potential sexual situations.



Keisuke answered Wataru's cell phone. "Yes?" he barked, spotting Megumi's name on the display.

"What are you doing with Wataru-kun's phone?" Megumi demanded.

"I confiscated it," Keisuke said. He noticed that Wataru - and his clothes - had been dragged off by the teenager. No matter. Wataru would have to return sooner or later. When he did, Keisuke would yell at him and punish him. Yelling at Wataru seemed to work, at least.

"You don't run his life," Megumi told him. "No matter what Shima-san said-"

"If anybody can handle Wataru and his powers," Keisuke said, "*I* can. I will become his lover, his confidante, everything that he needs in order to keep him from Fangire influence."

"You?" Megumi said scornfully. "You're like a steamroller. You don't care about his feelings. If any of us has to do this, it should be someone who respects him."

Snorting, Keisuke answered, "I don't have to care about his feelings. And this way, we don't have to worry about a pregnancy, either." Why Megumi thought she'd be an appropriate guardian for Wataru, he didn't know. She'd be too soft on Wataru, and the last thing Wataru needed was soft. And the last thing they wanted was a second generation with the power Wataru could apparently have. "Please stop trying to communicate with Wataru until I allow it. Goodbye."

He closed the connection and slipped Wataru's phone into one of his pockets. His own phone rang; he glanced at it, saw Megumi's name, and ignored it. She'd go back to their boss, he knew, but he'd deal with that later.

Right now, it was best to convince Wataru not to call the police on him.

And he would, under that girl's influence. This was a prime example why Wataru had to be watched over; he was easily influenced. Keisuke wasn't sure how that had happened, but he knew the danger of leaving Wataru on his own. All the Fangire had to do was figure out what he was, and the power that Wataru potentially wielded would be used against humanity.

And given the power he'd seen from Wataru's mother, the last thing humanity needed was for Wataru to side with the Fangire. Even if he was weaker, being only half Fangire, he still was a possible threat.

He walked out of the house, striding forward in hopes that Wataru and the girl would stay nearby. He saw Wataru sputtering, trying to come up with reasons not to call the police. Keisuke smiled. It seemed that some of his work was already done; Wataru had at least some loyalty to him. The girl, however, didn't seem so convinced.

"Nago-san," Wataru said, acknowledging Keisuke.

"What are *you* doing here?" the girl asked. "Wataru, call the police."

"I think we can talk this out," Wataru told her. He smiled at Keisuke.

"Right, Nago-san?"

That was fine by Keisuke, because dealing with the police was annoyng and messy, and prevented him from doing what he needed to get done. He nodded.

"Wataru...." The girl whined, "He's-"

"Give him a chance, Shizuka-chan," Wataru said. "I think he just needs some help."

"He needs to be hauled off to jail, that's what he needs," the girl muttered, but Keisuke ignored her.

* * *

They sat down at a family restaurant, with Wataru insisting on paying, as if to defuse the situation. The girl that Wataru called "Shizuka-chan" sat defiantly next to him, with Keisuke sitting on the other side of the table. For all of her talk of Wataru being independent, she certainly wasn't beyond trying to control him herself. Keisuke just did it better.

Keisuke saw through Shizuka's pathetic little game. She was preparing Wataru to be a meek husband that she could manipulate. If her ignorant game hadn't been such a threat to the world, he wouldn't have minded it. Courting was a stupid thing, it distracted people from being their best.

But he did let Wataru talk to her here, where he could supervise them. Once he knew all he could, he'd turn Wataru's attention to what Shizuka was up to, and that would make Wataru realize what she wanted from him.

"I want what's best for Wataru, too," he told Shizuka. "He's different in ways that you possibly couldn't imagine." He wondered if Shizuka knew that one of Wataru's parents wasn't human. Probably she wouldn't care, or say she wouldn't. But he did.

"Um, Nago-san," Wataru said. "I appreciate what you're saying, but...."

"Rule number 1," Keisuke warned.

Wataru started, but continued his sentence. "I'm not interested in dating right now."

"That's fine," Keisuke said abruptly. "Neither am I."

"But you said...." Wataru trailed off, apparently not understanding.

"He just wants to run your life for you," Shizuka said, folding her arms.

Wataru nodded. "Nago-san, why do you want me to keep from sleeping with - um, certain women?" he asked.

"Certain women?" Keisuke echoed. He wanted Wataru to stop sleeping with all women, he didn't know why Wataru thought it was only certain women.

"Your rules," Wataru said, as if it made sense to everybody. "You said to not talk to any women and stay away from... certain people."

The Fangire. Wataru had come to an incorrect conclusion about what he wanted, but he had a good point. If Wataru passing on his power with a human partner was terrifying, it was even worse if Wataru fell for a Fangire. It was critical that he reinforced parts of the rules. "We'll talk about it later."

A wise man had once said that plans rarely stand up to the actual engagement. Wataru let everybody rule over him; Keisuke had to make it so that he was the only one who did.

"You'll talk about it here," Shizuka insisted. Keisuke glared at her.

"It's not something you should be involved in," he told her coldly.

"If it impacts Wataru, it involves me," she said. Beside her, Wataru's attention had wandered.

"Excuse me, I'll be back in a bit," Wataru said. "Shizuka-chan, could you order for me? You know what I like."

Shizuka nodded. Keisuke watched him leave, but turned his attention back to Shizuka. "You are nothing but a golddigger."

"And you are an abuser who Wataru can't stand up to," she responded. "If he can't call the police, I will. I'm his friend; you just want him."

"I want him to be the best that he can," Keisuke said. His argument with Shizuka was interrupted by a large crash outside. He automatically stood up.

Kiva was fighting with a Fangire.

He rushed out, not bothering to leave an order with Shizuka. Kiva and the Fangire had rolled out of sight, but he'd find them. Defeat the Fangire. Get Kiva as well.

By the time he found the fight, Kiva had gone into his new form and was shattering the Fangire's remains. While he would have preferred to go after the Fangire as well, Kiva was just as good as a target. "Kiva! Return that life to God!" He pulled out the IXA knuckle and henshined.

Kiva just stood there, and then his form blazed for a second. Keisuke had the impression of chains fading out as the form shimmered out.

Wataru stood there, not moving.
