Sweet Dreams & Sinful Nightmares

"Yuki…" Akise thought forlornly as he stared down at the sidewalk below. To say he was worried about the other at this point would be an understatement. He had been searching for Yukiteru for a good time now and the other had stop responding to his texts long before. He was later informed by Nishijima of Amano's kidnapping by the one and only Yuno Gasai. The search was on for Yuno due to the killing of her parents and some fairly other suspicious business.

But Akise highly doubted that making sure Yukiteru survived the incident was the cop's top priority as of now. They already had to focus on keeping casualties to a minimum and getting Yuno into custody without incident.

So he had gotten together with the others and began a little search of his own to find and rescue Yukiteru. Due to mainly personal reasons… They were getting close now too and Akise suspected Yuno knew that. He had gotten a text for the first time in awhile just yesterday and he wasn't too inclined to trust the aforementioned digital note. Even though it was from Yuki's number; he knew how Gasai could be rather cunning and that stealing Yuki's phone was not beneath her. Regardless of how much he wanted to fool himself into believing it was from Yuki there were still those thoughts gnawing at the back of his mind that this text and even the ones from before were all typed by Gasai hand and not his.

Unlike the rather bipolar texts before claiming that he was fine, didn't want to be found and was happy with Yuno this one had much darker inclinations.

Amano 10-11-XX

I'm scared I think Yuno's finally lost it she chained me to the wall but I managed to get free when she left to get more food I'm in xxxx hotel please come help me before Yuno gets back I'm too scared to move and barely have any strength.

Even though this was more like the Yuki I was used to and felt sincere. I wasn't going to completely believe this wasn't a trap. I couldn't just rush in with everyone dragging them all into danger with me because of one little text. Yuno probably knew the cops were closing in on here now and wanted an out; someplace else to hide away in somewhere a little more permanent. There's was really no guarantee that she didn't plan on killing one of us and then taking refuge in one of our houses for awhile more than likely mine since I did live alone and hardly anyone would notice. So I decide it was best if I went alone telling the others to call the police if I hadn't come back preferably with Yuki after a certain period of time.

I had just gotten to the building it was a rather ritzy place but Gasai's family had money and she was the only one left to spend it so I wasn't too surprised. I had thought that this hotel would be more of a motel since she was a wanted criminal but I guess if you have the right amount of money you can get in anywhere regardless of being a criminal or not. It's sad but that's how it is sometimes. I began my trudge up the steps not wanting to risk getting ambushed in the elevator by Gasai. She's not one of the people you want to be locked in tight corners with during a fight. Hopefully there won't even be a fight today and I can just get in, get Yuki and get out.

I had just gotten to the right floor and was on my way to the room when I noticed Gasai's pink hair from down the hall she must of been hiding waiting for me. She had noticeably gotten a little too impatient if she was letting her hair show like that. I had taken my time getting there wasting a couple of hours walking around town and explaining the plan to the others and getting them to agree to it as well. Then I had lagged behind in the lobby for awhile knowing that if this was a trap and she was staking out the front of the room waiting for the cops or me then the more I had her wait the more antsy she'd get especially having to spend time away from her precious Yuki. Though she also could have been waiting for me in the room but I was pretty confident in the fact that she wouldn't want Yuki to know she was killing his friends. Killing anyone else not a problem but she wouldn't want to risk making Yuki dislike her so I had just assumed this little attack would be happening outside.

I'm glad my assumption was right for once since Ms. Gasai did have a way of surprising people. I took a glance at most of the doors in the hall and wasn't surprised to find one of them slightly ajar. I was obviously being baited. I didn't know what she planned to do when I turned my back and tried to open the door the rest of the way but I wasn't too keen in finding out either. "Come out Gasai I can see your hair, you're not fooling anyone next time you try to get the drop on someone don't be so sloppy." I said in a loud tone of voice hoping one of the other guests would hear the ruckus and call the authorities. Just in case Gasai was armed. "You always were too perceptive Akise!" She said running towards me with a fire extinguisher.

I quickly moved out of her range before managing to get the fire extinguisher away from her. She came at me again not even deterred and I smashed the fire extinguisher down on her head. Hopefully not hard enough to kill but it was enough to incapacitate her. I handcuffed her hands behind her back, sat her besides a potted plant and took all of her weapons. Well all the weapons she had on her at the time. Then I walked into the room.

It was cluttered. The first thing I noticed were the two skulls I knew Yuno had sitting in two separate chairs with a third in between them probably where Yuno sat. The next thing I noticed was a terrible smell. It was an indescribable smell that made my eyes water like a mixture of feces and rotten food. I wiped at my eyes that had started to water from the scent and managed to keep looking around. I caught a glint of light in the corner of my eye before I heard a light clattering.

I looked down feeling around the floor when my hand felt the familiar chill of metal. I looked up to notice a chain slinking down from the wall, at the end of the chain I found Yukiteru looking dull and lifeless. His once bright blue eyes held a light of despair in them and he was unresponsive. Even when I touched him to check if he was still breathing he hardly reacted. "Yuki are you alright; Yuki say something?" I pleaded loudly shaking him a bit for some type of reaction. However nothing I was doing to rouse him was working it was like he was in a trance.

I had run out of options and did the next thing that came to mind. I lifted up his chin slowly so that he was looking up at me and pressed my lips against his slightly parted ones. I hesitantly slipped my tongue through his parted lips and I began to explore his mouth. "Hm he tastes like curry." I mentally noted for a second. Yuki still stayed unresponsive and we stayed like that for a minute. I was starting to give up hope but then Yuki stirred and I could feel him tense up my hand still holding his chin in place.

I opened my eyes only to be met with Yuki's puzzled yet slightly scared gaze I ended our kiss and a small trail of saliva ran down Yuki's mouth it almost made me want to take him right there. "Akise..?" Yuki asked in a bewildered and breathless tone not helping my mental struggle. Right then I was just praying to god my face wasn't turning red. "What happened?" He asked looking up at me with his innocent blue eyes. But then he began to look panicked "What about Yuno and the forced food and the jar and, and." He stammered his eyes filling with tears as he looked through the room for the source of his fear.

I grabbed Yuki and clutched him to my chest and said "It's alright I took care of her she can't hurt you anymore." He began to cry into my shirt I rubbed his head soothingly and waited for him to calm down. He began to calm down and when his crying came to a stop I asked "You feeling better now." To which he just nodded into my shirt. Damn it should be a sin to be so unknowingly cute. Okay no got to leave, need to find the key to these chains.

"Yuki, do you know where the key is?" I asked him. "I think it's near the computer." He said sniffling a bit as he wiped off his face. I started to make my way towards the computer but Yuki grabbed my shirt sleeve. "Don't leave what if Yuno comes back?" Yuki asked. What did she do to him to make him this scared? "I'll be back with the key in a second then I'll free you and we'll leave alright?" I reassured him as I patter his head gently. "Alright then…" He agreed hesitantly letting go of my shirt sleeve.

I came back with the key a moment latter and unchained Yukiteru before picking him up bridal style. "Eh Akise it's alright I can walk." Yuki tried to assure me as he struggle to get out of my grip. "No it's not you need to rest, you were barely coherent a second ago." I said sternly. "But…" Yuki tried to protest but I cut him off saying "No buts Yukiteru." He quieted down after that and relaxed in my grip. While I'd been looking for the key I had called Nishijima to come and get us but I was slightly surprised at how quickly he got there.

I laid Yuki on the backseat because he had fallen asleep while I was carrying him and I wanted him to rest. I got in the passenger seat and Nishijima asked "So where are you taking him?" I thought it over for a second and said "Too my house it's safer I won't tell him where he is so Yuno's diary won't be able to tell her I'll just tell him it's a police hideout and the information can't be told to him because of Yuno's diary." "Akise there's no need to worry about Gasai as we speak my man are going into that building to arrest her it's all over now." Nishijima explained but I doubted it. "Well it's better to be safe than sorry." I retorted and Nishijima heaved a sigh. "Alright then but just be careful I'll call you when Gasai is in containment." Nishijima said.

With that finally statement as our parting I picked up Yuki and carried him into my home.

Yuno's POV

"Yuki, Yuki where are you Yuki..?" I asked aloud as I searched the now ransacked room. I stood there for a minute as I looked through my Yukiteru diary but it only said Yuki was asleep. "Stop right there." An officer said as he stood in the doorway of the room. "Do you know where Yuki is? I'm pretty sure Nishijima and those brats were working together so you must have some idea about where he was taken…" I said lowly taking a few steps forward. The officer shot at her but the bullet ricocheted off her hatchet and hit another officer. Yuno ran towards the officer swiping his head clear off with her hatchet.

"I guess you don't know anything..." I said in slight disappointment as I cleaned off my hatchet. Well there's no reason to worry I always find Yuki always…

Akise's POV

Yukiteru had been sleeping a long while now and I just didn't have the nerve to wake him so I just let him sleep. I lived by myself and I had only one bed since I had never really planned on having guest over at all. Let alone have someone spend the night. So I thought I don't need an extra bedroom, and a one bedroom was cheaper. That's why I now ran into the dilemma of not knowing where to sleep Yuki was in the only bed and the couch wasn't that comfy. I stared down at Yuki and couldn't help but think "Maybe I can just sleep with Yuki..." However the more reasonable and respectful part of my brain couldn't help but chastise me "You would really take advantage of Yuki like that in his time of weakness?"

I knew I was being reasonable there was only one bed Yuki would understand but at the same time. I couldn't just take advantage of the situation just because there's a chance for me to. Though I should keep a close eye on him just in case… Nishijima still hadn't called so I didn't know if they had caught Gasai or not.

"Yeah I'm just making sure he's alright and stays safe during the night." I muttered lowly as if I was trying to convince myself. However deep down I knew I had other reason besides protection and comfort for wanting to be in bed with Yuki. I felt a small smile wander onto my face as I went to shower and change into my pajamas. Not wanting to smell like sweat from my fight with Yuno when I got in bed. I walked into the room as quietly as I could and slowly got under the covers not wanting to disturb Yuki. "Um...mmm" Yuki murmured in his sleep as he began to toss and turn.

I turned towards him to see what was wrong and was caught off guard when he latched onto me hugging me close to his chest I was happy he was still asleep because if he were awake he would see my red face right now. "Yuki you are such a tease." I whispered as he snuggled closer to me. I laid there unable to fall asleep.

Yuno's POV

Hmm I can't find Yuki… Walking these streets was rather lonely when I knew I didn't have him waiting back at our home for me. Holding him there was keeping him safe and away from all the others who wanted to hurt him. Stupid nuisances now Yuki is in danger and it's all Akise's fault. I hate that guy he was clearly after Yuki. I still remembered the time he said "Honestly I like Yukiteru-kun beyond the point of just friendship." and went over to Yuki and grabbed his waist all friendly like.

I'll kill him! He's gotten in my way for far too long… He and Yuki's so called friends. I could hear sirens from a few blocks down… I hid away in a back alley for a second so I could check my phone. I looked down at my diary checking to see if anything had changed but it was still the same tired message.

23:40

Yuki is sleeping aw so cute.

23:50

Yuki is sleeping aww he's drooling a bit!

It was starting to get annoying to get the same message every ten minutes I almost felt like breaking my own phone. I couldn't go back to my home either because the cops were swarming it. Wow so they let a terrorist get away with bombing a school but I can't have Yuki! "Stupid police…" I pouted aloud as I looked around. If I was Akise where would I take Yuki? Well on the bed of course.

No, no, no that's not happening! Yuki is mine, and my diary says Yuki is sleeping anyway. "Though what would stop Akise from doing things to Yuki while he's asleep." I muttered lowly to myself as my mind instinctively began to wander. I'm not there to protect Yuki what if Akise is feeling him up and touching him perversely and Yuki's so knocked out from some drug Akise gave him that he's sleeping through it all?! I couldn't help but think worriedly as I began to imagine what Akise was doing to Yuki's adorable sleeping form. "Don't worry Yuki you won't feel a thing." Akise was probably saying as he undressed Yuki's unconscious body.

All the while Yuki laid there unconscious not able to tell Akise no. Akise rubbed his hand lightly down Yuki's bare torso then reached his pants but left them on probably thinking I'll get to those later. He began to kiss and lick Yuki's body sucking gently on one of his nipples. "Akise what are you doing?" Yuki would ask waking from his drug induced state. "Yuki I can't take it anymore I have to have you!" He would yell as he pounced on Yuki. "No!" I yelled alarming a few bums nearby as I shook the image from my mind.

"I won't let that happen!" I said as I began walking forward picking up an abandoned hoodie and using it to hide my face and hair. Yuki is mine!

Yuki's POV

I was feeling really cold and I didn't know where I was. I dreamt that I was still chained to that chair locked up by Yuno hardly dressed as a cool breeze caused a light shiver to go down my spine. The coldness was all I felt the darkness was all I saw. But I could feel the empty eyes of those skulls on me and hear the way the chains rattled even at my slightest movements. If it weren't for the cold I would have thought I was dead because I did not feel anything besides the cold I did not think of anything but the cold. If I didn't have the cold I would lose the one thing that reminded me I was of this world. Then seemingly out of nowhere a type of warmth came over me like a fire during winter.

I reached out for that warmth and latched onto it with all I had hugging it to my body. My body began to heat up and my chains disappeared as I fell into a peaceful sleep. "Mm... Just a few more minutes..?" I muttered as I held something close to me. "Yukiteru you have to let go I need to get to the phone." I thought I heard Akise say. "Eh Akise what's he doing here?" I thought to myself. "I must still be dreaming." I thought as I snuggled back up to the warmth and tried to go back to sleep.

"Yuki I'm serious I need to get the phone." Akise said again. I opened my eyes and looked up surely enough Akise was really there. "Eh Akise what are you doing here?" I asked bewildered a bit. "Huh Yuki are you still half asleep? Well never mind that can you please just let go?" Akise said. "Eh what do you mean?" I asked looking down and surely enough I was griping onto his waist like he was some kind of stuffed toy. "Ah." I said letting go of him quickly a bit embarrassed at my actions.

"Thanks." He said running out to get the phone. How long had we been like that? He must think I'm a giant baby that can't sleep without his mommy now. I began to tear up a bit in embarrassment over how pathetic I must have seemed. "He must have been so uncomfortable." I thought aloud as I began to pace around the room. Wait why was I latching onto him anyway?

I remember being cold and then feeling this warmth and grabbing on to it. Wait was that warmth Akise? I was hugging him in my sleep after all...

Akise's POV

"Damn it, who could be calling at this hour?" I grumbled lowly as I heard the phone ring. I didn't want to wake Yuki yet but then I heard the automated voice say "Call from Nishijima." I began to try and wake Yuki up. "Mm... Just a few more minutes..?" Yukiteru muttered and I would have loved to have obliged to that but this call could be important, or related to Yuno. I almost lost my nerve when he snuggled closer to me and thought for a second "Skip Nishijima I'll call him back later." But got my nerve back and said as sternly as possible "Yuki I'm serious I need to get the phone."

"Eh Akise what are you doing here?" Yuki asked. I was taken aback for a second. What does he not remember what happened yesterday? "Huh Yuki are you still half asleep? Well never mind that can you please just let go?" I asked not wanting to seem like I was enjoying this as much as I truthfully was."Eh what do you mean?" Yuki asked before looking down. I watched his expression change from half awake to openly embarrassed before he yelped.

"Ah." Yuki yelled letting go of me quickly as he grew more embarrassed. He was so cute. "Thanks." I said as I got up and left the room. "Aw I miss Yuki's warmth." I said rubbing my stomach before I picked up the phone. "Hello." I said in an irate tone. "Huh what's wrong Akise?" Nishijima asked sounding confused.

"You just took a while to call is all so how did things go?" I asked him. "Well… Miss Gasai managed to get away taking down four officers during her escape." Nishijima explained sounding a little peeved. There was a long pause before Nishijima said "We'll be going with your plan I'll set up a fake location and give you the address, then you tell Yuki which we alert Yuno's diary. Then me and the force we'll stake the place out to catch her." I checked behind me just to be sure Yuki wasn't ease dropping so nothing could go wrong before replying to Nishijima. "Alright sounds like a plan what's the address?" I asked him. "I don't know yet I'll call you later when we've figured it out. Just don't let Yukiteru figure out where he is." Nishijima demanded his tone getting a little higher as he spoke as if he was stressing how important it was for Yuki not to know.

"I know I'll talk with you later then." I stated a bit blandly as I was about to hang up. "Bye." Nishijima said then I hung up the phone. I walked back to my room not worried about Yuki figuring out he was at my home. Because earlier before I went to bed I had stored away everything that would make Yuki think this was my home which really wasn't a lot, but there were some things. I went into my room to find Yuki sitting on the bed staring intently at me it almost made me lose my cool, but I held it together. "Akise…" He said stammering a bit.

"I'm sorry." He said breaking out into tears. I ran over to him and asked "Yuki what's wrong, why are you sorry?" a bit confused. "I dragged you into my problems, and now Yuno might hurt you, and I must of keep you up all might with the way I was latching to your waist I'm such a hindrance to people." He said crying, and stuttering a bit. "No Yuki you didn't keep me up, and its fine I wanted to help you, and Yuno doesn't scare me I won't let her hurt you ever again." I told him tugging him into my arms and holding him close his crying settled down, but I could still hear him slightly sobbing. I began to rub his head softly and he finally stopped crying. Then I heard a loud rumbling and Yuki tensed up nervously "Hey Yuki are you hungry?" I asked him.

He nodded a bit embarrassed. "Okay let's go eat than." I said as I stood up and lead Yuki to the kitchen table this was a small apartment with a small kitchen and right outside of the kitchen was the table. I made us some bowls of cereal and sat down at the table. We ate in silence for a bit but I had pilfer help but ask "So what happened?" Yuki tensed up and took a deep breath "Well it all started when Yuno and I went to see the stars. I was really excited and I thought Yuno was too she seemed really happy. We were at the star gazing site when Yuno offered me a soda as we sat down on a nearby bench. There was still a few hours of day light left and we had walked a long way so I accepted the drink. I took a sip and next thing I knew I was waking up chained to a wall and being forced feed by Yuno and other stuff." Yuki said finishing off his cereal. I was tempted to ask what other stuff but saw Yuki was trying his best to think about something.

Maybe he's not trying to be secretive but he just really doesn't remember. "Yuki are you having trouble remembering what happened?" I asked him concern lacing my tone. He looked up at me a bit embarrassed and surprised. "Uh yeah after the first couple days I started blacking out, and after a couple more my mind was off somewhere else entirely. So I don't remember much after that accept waking up and seeing you, and you getting me out of there." He explained shuffling his feet and looking at the floor. Oh so that must mean he doesn't remember that kiss either. I couldn't help but inwardly sigh in relief at least this way things wouldn't be awkward between us.
