It was a whim of my part to try and explore Hisui character. I can't think of anything more complicated than what GoRA had planned of course. Like he put himself in straitjacket to restrain himself from losing control? I have an idea that Hisui was on a wheelchair when I first saw him in K Countdown and I happen to have an idea I'm unable to pull in my other story K: The Lost King. What if he was paralysed What if Hisui Nagare was a good guy and led astray due to circumstances? Was he truly a bad guy when faced with a selfish mother?

Some of the setting briefly overlap with my other story "Each and Every Bonds" & "Pursuit of Bonds". Loosely related to the radio drama "Elevator".

K is not mine. If not I will put in more victimised Yata instead of Fushimi being the one who always suffers.

Twist: Hisui Nagare

It was 14 years ago when it happened. The Kagutsu Crater incident. It was an incident where 700,000 civilians and the majority of Scepter 4 Clansmen were killed. Of course there were some who survived and received special powers and they were known as Strains such as the Purple Clansman, XX who eventually became Neko, the Silver Clansman. And of course, there were some who were selected as the next Kings such as the sixth King, Totsuka Tatara who had kept his power under wraps.

The majority of the casualties who survived the crater incident were gathered in the temporary medical facilities in the next province as there were not enough medical supplies to be passed around.

He was 11 years old back then. Nagare was the only sole survivor from his family. His parents and his twin brother were lost. Nagare cried when he was informed of the tragedy. He screamed and cried all days struggling to remove all the restrain on him. The medical staff thought he was crazy.

One day, due to the over surge of powers, he caused a blackout. Nagare took the chance to escape from the hospital before he was locked in the mental institute. Nagare felt bad. The tragedy caused many to lose their loved one including him.

He passed by a hospital room where a single mother was praying desperately for her son's recovery. He took a glimpse of the boy; he was merely three years old. Nagare's heart lurched when he overheard the boy's condition. He was diagnosed with Locked-in syndrome and he would be bedridden for the rest of his life. The only thing he could do was to blink his eyes in tears. Nagare was confused when he heard a voice coming from the boy. The boy wanted to tell his mum he was alright.

Nagare did not understand. All he could do was to run and to escape. He had gone into hiding until he met a priest who reeked of alcohol. He took him in to the orphanage he was taking care of. Due to the crater incident, there was a surge of orphans who lost their parents. That was when his life as the fifth and the Green King started. The young children in the orphanage grew up and became his earliest clansmen but none of them realized he was the King who granted these children powers.

Nagare found his power thrived in the invention known as the internet. As the power of the internet thrived so was his power. As there was no internet when the Dresden Slate was discovered, unlike the Red and the Blue King Nagare was the very first Green King. He was invited to Mishihara Tower by the Gold King when he was 12.

The Gold King was a huge, stern old man, Nagare was intimidated by him. Kokujouji Daikaku explained his power to him. The words and the responsibilities weighed on Nagare.

This country will come to an end if he would not use his power properly. Nagare hid himself in the bedroom of the orphanage fearful that he would lose control of his power. The more he feared, the more frequent the blackout in the orphanage occurred. He would be told to leave if anyone discovered he was the culprit. However, the priest who had always known about it kept quiet. Nagare wished he could give up his powers. If only he could transfer his powers like how he granted his powers to the kids in the orphanage. They would eventually realised it. An idea came to his mind.

The second time Nagare met the boy in Locked-in Syndrome was when he was visiting a fellow orphan who ran a high fever. A year had passed since then. The boy was still alive and kicking when the doctor thought he would die. Nagare smiled at the boy outside the glass panel of the ICU, it seemed that he had grown his hair out. He had a beautiful chestnut red hair.

The single mother was on the phone trying to beg the so-call debtor to grant her a few days to pay up her debts. Her thought were overflowing in his mind. Nagare grimaced. She wanted to pull the plug. Her husband left her because of his condition. There was no way she could pay for her son's medical bills.

"I want him to blossom beautifully like a flower just like his name but it seems that I can't keep going." The woman choked talking to someone over the phone. Nagare bit his lip and decided of an idea after hearing what the Colourless King planned to do when the fated time come to try to sever his next clansman of his ill fate.

"What if I can help her son?"

"If giving him my power could save him then I…" Nagare ran into the boy's room and took his hand. He collapsed.

Hisui Nagare woke up and a beautiful man came into his view.

"Had a sweet dream, Nagare-chan?" The Green King, Hisui Nagare nodded. The beautiful man with purple hair helped him up. Nagare looked normal on the outside in white lacy pajamas.

"Iwahune old man went out so I'm in charge of watching over you." Mishakuji Yukari updated.

"Yes, I did. It was a dream from long, long time ago. Bring me to the surveillance room." Nagare said with a smile. This smile was one of the most eerie smile Mishakuji had ever seen.

"It would be an honour." Mishakuji Yukari bowed in response and wheeled him into his surveillance room where many monitors observing many others' activities were displayed.

"Nagare-chan, who are you interested to watch today?" Yukari asked as he pulled out a keyboard. He turned to Hisui who was watching a certain screen intently.

"Zoom in that screen!" He ordered. Yukari shrugged. It was merely a mother with a middle school boy and a little girl standing on top of the sky tower. He obeyed and pulled the screen close. He was a little surprised when his King started laughing hysterically. He did not seem to be like his usual self.

"It was her!" Nagare pointed the screen. He had finally found her. The woman who wanted to pull the plug to kill her son. It was the woman who caused him to live in regret for years. For that he would make her pay. He would make her pay for the years he spent in Locked-in Syndrome in exchange for her son's activeness because he tried to transfer his powers to him.

"Find out more about her and her family. Make sure you erase everything about her so it won't arouse suspicions from Scepter 4. I want to make sure I have ample fun with them." Mishakuji shrugged in confusion but he would not question when Nagare wanted to have some fun.

"Your wish is my command." With that Yukari left the room in a light-hearted mood. Nagare-chan finally found something which excited him. He would have never expected he had unknowingly planted a high ranking clansman within another clan.

Nagare looked excitedly at the screen. A young man in white shirt and grayish vest with glasses was seen holding out ice-cream to the two kids with a bored expression. Hisui started laughing out loud. He laughed at the irony of fate and how small the world was. The guy in glasses had used to challenge him once and in return he had used his cousin to "invite" him to JUNGLE. His plan was foiled by the newly awakened Blue King he swore he would get back to him later. He had a great idea. It seemed that there was another chance granted to him to "invite" him to his Clan once more.

"The flower which will blossom beautifully. So it was him, I tried to transfer my power to but failed. As a result, I ended up exchanging my body condition with him and his mother who was heavily in debt fled with her son knowing that, her son had "recovered" miraculously."

Unknown to him, the ignorant young man received powers from him and his powers was sleeping within him even after he received powers from another King and swore loyalty to him. The said chestnut haired boy had joined them holding up a cake to celebrate his half-sister's birthday with his former best friend acting as though they were still best friends and everything were alright.

Hisui Nagare had done research on the powers of kings and even experimented with the Colourless King and the Silver King who had their bodies switched respectively. The currently missing Silver King on the screen was shown chatting with his two clansmen in the past feed JUNGLE network had recorded.

Nagare recalled the doctor's diagnosis on his condition not too long. Having ulcers all over his body and infections along with these were no joke. Not to say, he was dying. He lamented how kind fate had treated him to allow him to find the person he exchanged his health condition with. If it wasn't for his power as the Green King, his influence could not have extended this far via the network.

Killing two birds in one stone, not only Nagare would reclaim his body condition he had exchanged with the chestnut red haired boy who was laughing with his siblings on the screen 13 years ago and he would have the other young man in glasses to do his bidding obediently. Nagare smirked placing his hand and flicked his finger at the face of Fushimi Saruhiko on the screen.

If it was not for Nagare's error, Fushimi Saruhiko and Yata Misaki would have never met.
