Kamen Rider Kiva: Useless Things part 22 (Nago/Wataru, Rated 13+)

Here's Useless Things part 22. It's Nago/Wataru, spoilers for episode 28, and has a few possible sexual situations. And it's AU.


Taiga had not seen Wataru since the two were young kids; however, between Nomura Shizuka's cellphone camera and a picture or two Bishop had, he now knew what the heir to King's position looked like.

He hadn't expected to run across Wataru or his "boyfriend" on his way into Dr. Takada's office, but it made sense; Dr. Takada was the doctor that handled the Checkmate Four's health, as well as the possible heirs to their positions. To say that he took an immediate dislike to the other man was an understatement. Besides, as King of the Checkmate Four, Wataru was supposed to spend time with Suzuki Mio, not some random human guy. Even if Wataru wasn't straight, tradition dictated he do that royal duty. Taiga knew from Bishop that Mio-san and Wataru had been dating anyway, so his half-brother was attracted to the correct person, at least.

It appeared, however, that Nomura Shizuka had been correct. Wataru did have a boyfriend, and an abusive one at that. Once he made it clear that he was acting under Bishop's orders to protect Wataru, he should be able to get Dr. Takada to say what he'd seen on Wataru, what kind of condition Wataru was in, and how far along his half-brother was in the change.

But first, since nobody could seem to give him a personal name on Nago-san, he discreetly followed the bounty hunter and his half-brother back to Nago-san's car. He took a picture of the license plate, figuring somebody could run it for him and give him a name and an address. He then turned back around to see Dr. Takada.

Dr. Takada's receptionist looked at him and smiled. "I'll go get Dr. Takada," she said. It was only a minute or so's wait before the doctor himself popped his head out the door.

"Taiga!" the man said, evidently pleased to see him. "Here, let's go to my office."

The doctor lead him to a small office. "Bishop said that you wanted to ask me about Wataru and his health and prognosis."

"That, and how he seemed. I just saw him coming down the path; did he look like he'd been abused by the man that was with him?" Taiga leaned forward. He liked Dr. Takada, Dr. Takada was a good man, but at the moment, his concern was Wataru.

"Abused?" Dr. Takada looked thoughtful. "Well, I only got to see his leg and ankle, but I didn't see any bruises or anything. He had a burn on his leg and he twisted it, but apparently that's Dr. Takamoto's fault."

Taiga nodded; he'd seen the doctor flee and seen Wataru limping, so it was credible.

"At least it'll keep Wataru down and resting. Your half-brother has the world's worst time following medical advice, you know. Incidentally, I'd appreciate a word in her ear; Wataru is my patient, you know."

"I'll see what I can do." He and Bishop trusted Takada to take care of Wataru. "How soon will he be weak?"

"Too weak to do much?" Dr. Takada asked. "It depends if he has to fight anything. He knows about Fangire and apparently those Blue association people told him he's part Fangire. I had to tell him that he was going to get sick - he's definitely changing." He looked at Taiga. "He really needs a Fangire around, not all these humans. I don't like how much they're influencing - er. He needs Fangire around him."

"Bishop and I know what Wataru's going to become," Taiga assured him, and the old doctor smiled in apparent gratitude. "That's why I was alarmed when somebody who knows Wataru well said he'd picked up an abusive boyfriend, and I agree with you about the human influence. Wataru can be stubborn about some things; I don't want him to get too attached to these humans. He needs to start being King now, but we have to wait for his body to catch up with him." He paused. "Do you think they're dating?"

"This Nago says yes, Wataru says yes too, but I know he's lying," Dr. Takada said. "And Wataru definitely likes girls." Dr. Takada grinned at that, and then the grin faded. "This Nago asked me, when I paid a house call, if sex was considered light exertion."

Taiga balled his hands into fists. "I'm going to kill him," he said. He looked over at Dr. Takada. "Any reason I shouldn't?"

"A second bodyguard, as well as someone to watch over Wataru, might be good. Wataru does have a history of disobeying medical orders, too big a sense of responsibility, and the ability to wear the King's Armor. But there's a female Blue whatever association member that doesn't seem to have designs on him, so if you have to eliminate this Nago, make sure you have her in place. You'll need some help, and you'll need help that you can at least somewhat trust."

"Bishop wants to come in and educate him on being King anyway," Taiga said, leaning back in the chair. "I was going to tell him he's Fangire in due time, but this'll make it easier. I don't like how that man was controlling Wataru."

"Neither do I, especially with Wataru being vulnerable and suggestible right now," Dr. Takada agreed. "Take care of him."

Taiga grinned and rose. "Thank you for your time, Dr. Takada. Tell me if anything changes."

"I will," Dr. Takada said. "And Taiga? Have Bishop come to him sooner rather than later. I'm really worried about the influence these humans are having on him."

Taiga nodded. "I will."

He made his way out the door, phoning Bishop and relaying the gist of Dr. Takada's words. "Wataru's going to get more pliable when he starts changing, but Dr. Takada has a point... I can't be there all the time."

Bishop sounded thoughtful. "In some ways, I'd rather deal with this one's bullish approach than some of the more subtle members of the Wondrous Blue Sky association, but it's up to you," Bishop said. "Kill him if you must... but make sure Wataru is your ally when you do. I'm afraid his father corrupted your mother, and I'm sure some of that corruption must be weaned out of Wataru. Incidentally, I've uncovered the name of that particular member, and in fact all members of that organization that Wataru is known to have contact with. I'll tell you about it later."

"Got it," Taiga said.

"Hold on," Bishop said, and the line was silent for several minutes. "Well, I just got a surprise. I've been watching the house; it appears that your half-brother has returned home. I must attend to the Queen's education; you might want to check on Wataru's health."

"Understood." Taiga took his own car to Wataru's house, parking it nearby. Thankfully, Wataru had never moved from their mother's house. The gate was unlocked, and so he snuck around to the back to lockpick the back door. Wataru's upstairs door tended to need oiling, and he wanted to surprise Wataru.

He snuck through the back of the house, to where Wataru's living room/bedroom was, grinning at the image of his half-brother's reaction. When he stepped through the kitchen door, he stopped suddenly, the grin fading. Nago was lying on top of his brother, and they were caught up in a kiss.

Striding forward, he plucked the nuisance human off of Wataru and threw him across the room.
