Chapter 6: Chapter 88 - Wild Party
Wild Party
Jay-jay's POV
I don't want to go out but I have to entertain myself to get away from what Yuri did for a moment. It was like a video tape playing over and over again in my mind. Add what he said. It seemed awkward to face him.
"Jay..." Felix called me. "...Is everything okay with you? I'll take you home if you don't want to stay."
We are currently walking to his basketball teammate's house. They said it was a celebration of their victory. The post-party he was talking about and only the two of us were invited.
"It's okay... What's up? I've been in the mood for a long time, haven't I?"
"Maybe it's because you're just forced..."
"No! I'm just thinking about something."
He just nodded at me. It was powerful enough to be a pest when Yuri kissed me. But I have to admit, I didn't feel angry when he did that. We were still a little far from the house when Felix was on the team, but we could hear the loud music.
"Where did you learn to play the violin?" I suddenly asked Felix.
I remember the Battle of the Band. He was able to change the instrument and it worked. Felix bowed and seemed to think for a moment.
"From my stepbrother."
Shooot!!!
It is not my intention to open that topic about his brother. Very wrong!
"Sorry..." I said.
He forced a smile. "It's okay..." He took a deep breath and rolled his eyes. "...He's my idol. I always wanted to learn what he knew."
"Maybe you're close..."
"Too much! He always gets scolded because I take him along in his pranks!" His story while smiling. "... Then when we were studying, he told everyone that we were really brothers! He didn't even want anyone to hurt me! Then he introduced me to Keifer!"
It's fun to watch him while talking about his stepbrother. They were so close that they were introduced themselves as real brothers. I suddenly remembered my older brother. How is he in the family that adopted him? Does he has a brother now? Does he know that he has a sister in his real family?
"...That's why after a while he was with Keifer more often than me. Until the accident happened." Suddenly his tone changed.
It seems that what happened to his stepbrother still hurts him. I patted him on his shoulder.
"Wherever he is, I'm sure he's watching over you." I said and smiled at him.
He returned a smile. I would like to ask more questions but it is a sensitive issue that I am raising. We stopped when we got to the opposite house of his teammate. The house was big, there were many people and the music was very loud.
"Shall we continue?" I asked Felix.
"I don't feel like it anymore." He answered me and looked around.
People are like animals that have escaped from the coral. Dance to dance, laugh to laugh, kiss to kiss, vinegar to vinegar and there is no stopping the wine.
"Felix!"
We both turned to the caller. Even though I'm not Felix, I've turned around. It was Kiko with Michael. He has a bottle of wine in his hand and it looks like something is right.
"It's good you came!" He said and hugged us both.
The smell! It smells like stale wine!
"...Let's go in! I'll introduce you to everyone!" He added and tried to push us inside.
The people, mostly HVIS people, were dancing non-stop. I was almost speechless with their teasing. When we got to the middle, Kiko let go of us. Felix held my hand. Kiko's servant forced the DJ to turn off the music. He took the mic and put down the bottle he was holding.
"Listen up guys!" He said and everyone looked at him. "... This is Felix Collins! The winner of SHARK SLAYER!"
They all responded with loud cheers and applause.
"...This party is not only to celebrate our championship but also to welcome our ace player!"
"YEEEEEAAAΑΑΑΗΗΗΗΗΗ!!!!" They shouted.
My eardrums almost burst from their screams. Add to that the stench of their breath, it's like my nose is dry.
"SO LET THIS PARTY START!!" Kiko shouted.
The loud music played again. They all confused Felix. It was like there was a stampede with so many of them and his hand couldn't handle it anymore so he let go.
"J-jay!"
"Come on! Felix!" I shouted but because of the number of people I deliberately backed away and Felix disappeared from my sight.
"FELIX!"
The music got louder and the crowd got bigger. Even if I wanted to squeeze I couldn't.
Shit!
"FELIX! WHERE ARE YOU?!"
I can't even hear my own voice because of the loud music. My saliva will be wasted and my Vocal might even be slurred. I squeezed hard. I approach everything that looks like Felix. I also approached a wrong boy because his clothes looked the same. I also went around the other part of the house. I still got to the kitchen. Whoever I bumped into.
"Jay-jay!" Someone called while holding my shoulder.
I immediately looked to see who it was. Mica and... Calix? Because the person with him was wearing a hat and sunglasses.
Wow! Is the sun strong at night?!
"Little! And Ca----"
He gestured silently with his finger. They pulled me to the relatively small crowd and soft music.
"Who are you with?! Are you alone?!" Mica asked worriedly..
"I was with Felix but we got separated!"
"Do Keifer and Yuri know you're here?!" Calix asked me.
Why should I let them know?
I shook my head. "Why are you here?! And why are you wearing this!" I pointed to his hat and sun glasses at the same time.
"He doesn't want me to leave without him! He can't be here! Section E is not allowed here!" Mica explained.
Section E is not allowed?
That's why Felix doesn't want to tell others.
"You better come with us! We're leaving!" Calix said.
"Not yet! I haven't seen Felix yet!"
"Have you tried calling?!" Mica asked as she picked up her phone.
"I don't have a phone with me! I don't even know if Felix has one!"
Calix also took out his phone and tried to call Felix. But I have a feeling that he won't notice that either because of the strength of the music.
"Killing!" Calix said.
"That's it! We'll find Felix too! After 30 minutes let's come back here!" Mica said we agreed.
We walked separately. I have also been to the second floor of the house. I even saw Freya with a different appearance.
Is it Kiko's seal?!
I kept looking for someone who suddenly grabbed my arm. He leaned me against the wall and tried to kiss me.
"WHAT?! GET AWAY FROM ME!"
Suddenly the man fell down and I looked at the person in front of me. It's like Kiko pushed him to get away from me.
"Are you okay?!" He asked me.
I nodded. "T-thank you!"
I grabbed him by his hand and tried to pull him away from where I was standing. Why does he seem to have lost his drunkenness?
"You shouldn't be walking alone! What if I didn't notice you?!" He said with a mixture of concern.
Is he still concerned about me?!
"I can do it myself! I was just shocked by that man! I'm also looking for Felix!"
"Felix? He's there... With our teammates! Drinking!"
Look at the village people! I've been looking for a while now, but it turns out that he's just been drinking. I looked at the part that Kiko taught. Behind and face you are having fun.
"Come on! I'll go with you!" Kiko said.
I nodded. While walking and mingling, Kiko handed me a bottle of wine.
"I-I don't want to! I'm not in the mood to drink!"
"Taste it! It's a shame if you won't!" His insistence.
I didn't want to but I was embarrassed by what he said. It's too bad it's an effort. I took a sip of the wine and in fact what he handed me didn't taste like wine.
"Isn't it delicious?!"
I smiled and nodded. But even after I drank less than half, I felt poisoned. I didn't pay attention to it, probably because of the number of people. We reached the place of their teammates. I almost finished the contents of the bottle and I have to admit that I feel like I'm hit with alcohol. I thought they were enjoying themselves as Kiko said. But when I looked for Felix, he was leaning against the wall and almost fell. Purely bruised and with blood on the face
"W-what are you doing?!" I screamed and was about to approach Felix, but my knees suddenly went soft and I felt like I was spinning around.
"J-jay! U-get out of here! You're their target!" Felix shouted.
But I didn't understand anything. I let go of the bottle I was holding and I was slowly falling. I felt a hand holding my waist.. I tried to look at it.
Kiko!
He was smiling at me and seemed happy with what he was seeing.
The wine! It was not just wine!
I tried to remove Kiko's arm that was hugging me but I didn't have the strength anymore.
"W-what did you put in the wine?!"
"Something special... Something that will make you mine." He whispered to me and I heard his friends laugh.
Gradually everything went dark and the last thing I saw were Kiko's smiles.

Aries's POV
The headache! I really don't like big parties. But I don't want to leave Ella in this place.
"Let's dance!" She came to me and tried to pull me to the middle.
"You're drunk! Let's go home!"
"Let's go here first!"
Tsk! This is the reason why I don't like Ella to drink.
"Ella! Don't be naughty!" I said and tried to pull her.
I looked at an area of the house. It's like I saw Jay-jay. But it's impossible, I strictly ordered that there is no Section E in this party.
"Later! They have a surprise for Felix!" Ella said and hugged me.
Felix? Collins? Section E is that one. That means, they disobeyed me and if Felix is here, Jay-jay can be here.
"Come on! We're going somewhere!" I was with Ella and tried to pull her away.
With so many people, it almost took me a while to get to the garden of this house. When we got there, the basketball team was complete except for one. Where the hell is Kiko?!
"What is happening here?!" I asked them.
I looked at the man who was lying on the floor. Blood and wounds on the face.
Felix! What the fuck?!
"Why is Section E here?!" I asked them angrily.
"G-gate crasher!" One of them answered me.
"Where the hell is Kiko?!"
They looked at each other and didn't know what to answer.
"J-jay..." I heard Felix whisper.
Michael was about to kick him but I stopped him. I approached him and listened carefully to what he had to say.
"J-jay-jay…"
I knew it! She's here! That girl is stubborn!
"Where is she?!"
"R-right there…" he whispered.
I immediately stood up and punched Michael. He fell causing the others to move away.
"WHERE IS KIKO? WHERE IS HE AND MY COUSIN?"
"W-we're not sure... But that's one of the rooms in the house." answered the other,
My fist clenched but before I could move the music suddenly stopped. Those people also stared as if they were avoiding something. From not far away, I can see them. The entire Section E seems to be looking for something. Before they could get close to us, I pulled Ella.
I need to find Jay-jay first!
