KH - Fast Food Madness! V2

Roxas growled slightly, his teeth gritted together as his hands balled into tight fists. He glared at Jeff for a moment for lacking information, but now he turned his attention to the ground, closing his eyes. Remembering Jeff's expression when he asked about his brother, Roxas looked back up at him. "What's going on?" he asked, his voice strict as he referred to Jeff's attitude.

 

"Brian hasn't been acting the same ever since last week. He doesn't really talk to me anymore. At all. Today I asked him to meet me here so we could talk, but he apparently doesn't care too much about that." Jeff explained to Roxas, his voice serious. An idea suddenly came to mind and he reached into his pocket, pulling out a cell phone. "I can text him though; find out what's up."

"Don't mess with me!" Brian growled in anger. "You know when he's coming back, so you better tell me what you know...or else."

Namine's eyebrows furrowed at the threat, this guy starting to make her feel nervous. Roxas would be back soon, she knew that much. But should she tell Brian that? Or should she make a lie?

 

Roxas ground his teeth together, his jaw flexing a little as he tried to wait patiently for Jeff to get a hold of his brother. Brian. After everything he's put Namine through... Roxas found his blue eyes piercing through other people by him, and that was when he noticed their stares, apparently hearing his and Jeff's conversation. He ignored them, turning his attention back to Jeff, his eyes on the phone.

 

Jeff took Roxas' silence as a request to text Brian so he did, typing in the words "where r u?" into the phone before sending it and flipping his phone shut.

Brian felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and he backed up from Namine for a moment and turned around, taking out the phone and opening it. He saw Jeff's message and he mentally cursed, knowing he would be in trouble if he didn't answer. "Taking care of buisiness" he typed the message into his phone and sent it to his brother.

Jeff felt the phone vibrate in his hand, the response pretty quick. "'Taking care of buisiness'?" Jeff quoted it aloud, wondering what that meant.

 

Roxas perked up at Brian's response. Taking care of business... Roxas tried to think over everything that Jeff had told him that would connect with that text message. Jeff had said that his brother hadn't been acting the same since the incident in the alleyway. And now he wasn't talking to Jeff...But why? Roxas furrowed his brows as he tried to figure it out...

 

Jeff put a hand to the side of his face as he thought about the issue. "Taking care of buisiness?" No, he couldn't possibly be dumb enough to try and do that... He turned his head in the direction from where Roxas came from. ...Or would he?

Namine set her hands down on the couch beside her as she silently pushed herself up, deciding to try and leave while Brian was distracted. She had no idea what was going on, but she didn't want to know. She grabbed her cell phone off the endtable and silently stuck it in her pocket before starting to walk out of the room, her heart beating quickly with nervousness and anxiety.

 

Roxas looked up at Jeff, seeing a weird expression on his face. But then his eyes found the black eye that had obviously come from Roxas' own fist. Brian had been with Jeff that day, and he had been the one who had kicked Namine... Roxas flexed his jaw, just the thought of it making him angry. He dismissed his angry thoughts, focusing. Brian hadn't spoken to Jeff recently, and Roxas knew it had something to do with Jeff's black eye. But why would he be mad at Jeff? Or was he even mad at Jeff?

 

"No..he wouldn't be dumb enough to try that," Jeff mumbled to himself, lowering his hand back to his side. But...what else could he possibly mean? That was the only thing that came to mind. And if that was the case, then he knew where Brian was at.

Namine was just about to make it out of the room and into the kitchen when the floor creaked underneat her feet, the carper muffling the sound but not silencing it.

Brian turned around at the sound, seeing the blond girl standing with her back to him, in the doorway. "Hey!" He shouted in anger, shoving his phone back into his pocket. He wasn't letting her get away that easily.

 

Roxas narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling uneasy at Jeff's words. "Try what?" he asked, his tone strict and impatient, anger lingering in it.

 

Jeff lifted his gaze to Roxas, hearing the anger and frustration in his voice. "To try and get revenge," Jeff clarified. Though he wasn't too sure at the moment if that was true or not...

Namine turned around at the sound of the yell, her eyes wide. She screamed when she felt Brian reach up and forcefully grab her long blond hair, pulling the girl back into the middle of the living room. Tears appeared in her eyes, both from the pain she felt and fright. "Get away from me!" She cried out in desperation, though the cry was only answered with another hard yank on her hair.

 

Roxas' eyes stayed narrowed. Revenge... On who? His eyes found Jeff's bruise again and it clicked. Roxas turned his head to look back the way he came, his eyes widening. If Brian wasn't here...then he was looking for him. And the only place he would check first was...his home. "Namine," Roxas said suddenly, remembering how she was at home, and he had idiotically left the door unlocked. He ground his teeth together, anger showing in his eyes as he glanced back at Jeff. He growled slightly from anger and then took off running, heading back the way he came.

 

Jeff's eyebrows furrowed slightly at Roxas' growl, his thoughts being the same. Now he knew that he didn't want to get on Roxas' bad side again, so maybe helping out would be a good idea...if that was possible. He didn't want his brother to be stupid and get a black eye of his own because Jeff had started this whole conflict. The teen turned in that direction and started running as well.

Brian growled in anger and released the girl's hair, forcefully spinning her around to face him. He grabbed for her arms and held both of them in his arms tightly, glaring at the blond girl. "You just love making me angry, don't you?"

Namine's eyes widened at the anger in the blond boy's voice and she desperatly looked into his eyes. She tried to pry herself out of his tight gripping, but she couldn't do it.

 

Roxas started pushing his way through the crowd, trying his best to dodge people so that they didn't slow his pace. Fierce determination was in his eyes, Namine's safety being on his mind, as well as what Brian was going to receive if he even touched her.

 

Jeff picked up his pace, dodging people and making his way up to Roxas. "I'm coming with; you're probably going to need help," Jeff state once he was side by side with Roxas, glancing over at the blond teen.

"Just stop moving!" Brian shouted in anger, tightening his grip on Namine's arms. This girl was seriously starting to annoy him, and if she didn't stop aggravating him, she was going to recieve some of Roxas' punishment.

Namine opened her mouth as if to say something, but she then shut it, starting to feel herself tremble in fright. The rage in his eyes and voice was scaring her, and she didn't know exactly what Brian was going to do to her now...

 

Roxas ran over the crosswalk, free of the crowds. He glanced over at the jock beside him, having heard his words. And if Brian was as bad as Jeff was making him sound... "You better hope he doesn't touch her," he said darkly, glaring at the teen next to him.

 

Jeff didn't respond, his eyes turning toward Roxas before returning to the path in front of him. He just hoped Brian didn't do anything stupid...

"Just leave me alone," Namine pleaded, some tears of pain and fright appearing in her eyes.

"Oh, you think this is bad?" Brian taunted her, suddenly releasing one of her arms and going for his back pocket. He pulled out a knife and held it in front of him, between him and Namine. "You haven't seen anything yet."

 

Roxas' hood fell from his head as he sprinted home, trying to get there as fast as he could. A loud roar of thunder entered his ears, causing him to look up. He blinked when something wet hit his cheek, apparently a rain drop. He ignored any thoughts about it though, needing to get home as fast as possible.

 

Jeff was aware that a raindrop fell and landed on the top of his head, sinking into his blond hair. That didn't matter though; he just wanted to make sure his brother didn't do anything stupid.

Namine gasped shakily when she saw the knife, feeling herself pale slightly at the sight. This is bad; this is very, very bad...

Brian furrowed his eyebrows and forcefully pushed Namine back, pressing her against the wall. He released her arm and forcefully pushed it against Namine's shoulder, pinning the girl against the wall. Then he raised his knife putting it against Namine's neck.

 

At how fast Roxas was running, he wasn't surprised to see his house up ahead. If Brian did anything to Namine... Roxas flexed his jaw, pushing himself harder toward the house, rain coming a little faster than before, sprinkling down on him and Jeff as he ran beside him.

 

Jeff let himself fall back slightly, deciding it would be better for Roxas to go first just in case something wasn't wrong.

Namine pressed herself as far back as she could, her eyes wide at the knife at her throat.

"I told you not to make me mad," Brian said darkly, his dark blue eyes staring at Namine.
