Kamen Rider Kiva: Useless Things part 27 (Nago/Wataru, rated 13+)
Part 27. Yes, I couldn't stop writing.
Summary: Nago discovers something about Wataru, and vows to save the world. (Kamen Rider Kiva, Keisuke Nago/Kurenai Wataru, rated 13+)
Taiga had snacked on a nearby human - hopefully the man wouldn't be missed - and returned back to Wataru's house to check on his half-brother. He doubted anything had changed, since Wataru tended to sleep a lot.
He made his way through the gate and through the front door, using the keys. Nothing seemed amiss until he saw Wataru's bed empty - and even then he assumed that Wataru was using the bathroom, until he realized that the bathroom door was open.
Wataru's Kivat flew in. "Taiga!" he declared. "Wataru's gone!"
"How long?" Taiga asked. He hadn't been gone that long, had he? Wataru had been asleep when he'd left.
Part of him worried - Wataru was his charge and his relative, after all - and part of him didn't. Wataru wasn't stupid. Mostly.
"A few minutes," Kivat said, floating in place. "He said something about not being King anymore."
Taiga rolled his eyes. "He doesn't have a choice in the matter." He thought about chasing after Wataru, but better Wataru remember why he was on bedrest in the first place.
"I know," Kivat said. "Aren't you going to chase after him?"
This made Taiga grin. "Eventually. You're familiar with the human game 'hide and go seek'?"
"Yes," the Kivat said, clearly unsure as to what it had to do with anything.
"Wataru's hiding, I'm seeking," Taiga said. "I'll give him a ten-minute headstart, and then I'll go find him." He hadn't had a chance to do much of anything, and this might be some fun.
And at least it would tire Wataru out.
He waited the ten minutes, then headed out, Wataru's Kivat following. Taiga figured there was no harm in this, because Wataru and the Kivat had to be bonded. The Kivat had to know where Wataru was, in a general way. "Which way is he?" he asked the Kivat.
"Follow me," the Kivat said. "He's not going to be too happy with me leading you right to him."
"Can't be helped," Taiga said. "I have no problem cheating a little."
The Kivat led him to a park, where a figure - Fangire, Taiga could tell - was walking down a path cautiously, as if afraid a monster was going to jump out of the bushes. Taiga grinned. "Hello there."
"Hello," she said, wide-eyed.
"I believe we may have met before." It was a lie, but Taiga turned his most charming smile on her. "You are?"
"Dr. Takamoto Keiko," she replied. She eyed him for a moment. "And you are?"
Ah. Dr. Takada's rival. Which did explain what she was doing in the park, but not why she seemed so skittish. "Nobori Taiga. You know, Dr. Takada was complaining about you stealing his patients...."
"Ah, you know Doctor Takada?" the woman said, straightening up. "Yes, we know each other, professionally.
"I work for Bishop," Taiga said simply, letting the woman's eyes widen again. "Dr. Takada asked Bishop if he'd ask you to stop poaching his clients. In particular, Kurenai Wataru."
Dr. Takamoto took a step back. "Had I known that Kurenai-san's doctor was Fangire, I wouldn't have," she said defensively. "I just saw him a few minutes ago. He didn't look well, but I didn't want to risk destruction by pointing it out to him."
The woman knew what Wataru was, definitely. And she did have a good eye for what was wrong. "Be glad he's not your patient, Dr. Takamoto. He doesn't obey medical orders very well. According to Dr. Takada, he's supposed to be on bed rest. That's it."
"Had he been my patient," Dr. Takamoto said, straightening, "He wouldn't have had a choice. He would have been restrained at my clinic and at close watch if I'd known." She looked steadily at Taiga. "Maybe you should consider that."
"I will," Taiga said. "In the meantime, which way did he go?"
"That way," Dr. Takamoto said, indicating where she meant. "Nobori-san, I'd like to go with you. Dr. Takada and I have our differences, but a patient is a patient and I hate to see someone in pain."
"Do you, perchance, have a way of sedating Wataru, or were you out for a walk?" Taiga asked. "Or hunting?"
"Hunting," Dr. Takamoto said, "But I don't have to do it right now, there are more important things. And as it happens...." She slid a case out of her purse. "Sometimes I'm merciful to my food. Sometimes I'm not. I have a sedative and a paralyzing agent always at hand when I'm out hunting. Which one would you prefer?"
"Paralyzing," Taiga said. "Not that I think he's going anywhere, but I want him aware of what's happening to him. He's my little brother, Dr. Takamoto. Sometimes their ways have to be... corrected."
"Little brother?" Dr. Takamoto echoed. "Could you have been... King?"
Taiga shrugged. "Perhaps, in some universe or other, yes. And I would have made a good one." No sense in being falsely modest; he would have been prepared to rule far better than Wataru had. "But we make do with what we have, don't we?"
"We do," Dr. Takamoto agreed. "At the rate he was dragging himself, he can't have gotten that far."
"Kivat?" No reason to drag it out, now that he had more help.
"This way," the Kivat said. Taiga, Dr. Takamoto, and the Kivat followed several paths until they were in a secluded section of the park. "I like this section," Dr. Takamoto said, smiling a little. "It's such a good place to feed in."
"I'll keep that in mind," Taiga replied. The Kivat had hung back, but Taiga didn't need him anymore. Not with Wataru sound asleep, head on a backpack, dead to the world. The small golden dragon Tatsulot kept watch, swirling around his head.
"Chu chu!" the little dragon exclaimed as Taiga and Dr. Takamoto approached Wataru, Taiga almost stepping on the cane that Wataru had been using.
"He's pretty asleep," Dr. Takamoto said, taking out her supplies and rubbing Wataru's elbow with alcohol. "But he won't be when he feels the needle."
As expected, Wataru reacted with alarm to the needle entering his flesh. He bolted upright before lying right back down again, and Dr. Takamoto was hard-pressed to inject the drug.
"It'll be a while before the drug works," Dr. Takamoto said, "But I don't think he's going anywhere anyway."
Taiga nodded. "Wataru? You know there's a difference between 'walking' and 'bed rest', right?"
Wataru nodded. "What did you give me?"
"A paralyzing agent," Dr. Takamoto said. "Enough to keep you from moving. I hear you're quite bad at following medical instructions."
"Taiga," Wataru groaned.
"I authorized it, so no complaining at me," Taiga said firmly. "We're going to carry you back, you're going to stay in bed, and believe me, it'll be lots worse next time."
He didn't like Nago's punishment system, but he was beginning to see that the man had rigged it up for a reason. He'd have to confer with the other bodyguard about good punishments for the recalcitrant King-to-be. If there was anything the man was good at, it was domination and punishments.
Too bad he hadn't been born a Fangire.
"Let me know when the agent's taken effect," he instructed Dr. Takanoko.
She nodded. "A few more minutes, I think. I have a wheelchair in my car; do you want me to go get it?"
"Yes," he said. "Do you know how to get back?"
"Pfft. One of my favorite hunting spots? Sure." She shimmered into her Fangire form - a largely white one - and zoomed off.
Taiga watched over Wataru until the doctor returned with a wheelchair. "Let's get him to a path, and then put him on it," she said. "We can sling the backpack on the back, and you can carry his cane."
Amused at her businesslike demeanour, Taiga let her carry Wataru. When they were on the path, she unfolded the wheelchair and put Wataru on it, and pushed him until they were out of the park. Taiga led her back to the house, and she assisted him inside. The doctor plopped Wataru down on his bed. "Call me if he gets worse," she said. "And... maybe we can hunt sometime, together."
Taiga smiled. "Sounds good to me," he said.
