Dark Shadows

Angst/Romance

Chapter 3

Omi… please tell me where you are! Aya thought as he ran down the halls searching every room for Omi. That's when he heard loud sobs coming from a room. He tiptoed and slowly opened the knob that's when he saw Omi hanging from the ceiling, blood and tears visible all over his face.

Omi! Aya was about to get inside when he heard a shuffling sound of knives. Farfarello! He hesitated and waited for the perfect time to attack. "I wonder… will friends ever come to rescue you?" This made Omi's eyes widen. "Well… it certainly would hurt God if they won't! Well… in this case, it would hurt you pretty badly!" he sneered as he licked the blood off his knife.

Aya gritted his teeth as he prepared to attack. Farfarello slowly walked to Omi as he surveyed his knife. He slowly caressed his knife on Omi's torso and Omi winced in pain. "I want you to scream! Scream out loud!" He digs the knife deeper into Omi's skin and Omi cringed madly. "Feel pain!" he laughed. Aya couldn't take it any longer… Omi was sinking deeper into unconsciousness and he was just looking at his lover.

The scream of Omi reached unto his brain as he ran to Farfarello and dug his katana straight into Farfarello's abdomen. "What- Weiß!" he gasped. "How-" He quickly jumped out of the way, holding his injury as he gave Aya one last look. "You'll pay for this!" And he ran off.

"Omi! Omi!" Aya shook Omi as Omi lay peacefully on Aya's arms. Aya took the gag off Omi's mouth and threw it aside as Aya embraced him tightly. "Omi… I'm so sorry!" he whispered.

"A… Aya… kun?" Omi stared blankly at Aya, tears still flowing from his eyes. "Omi! Omi, you're awake!" Aya smiled as he wiped away the tears. "I want… to go… home…" Omi buried his face on Aya's chest as he allowed himself to weep. "Don't worry, Omi! We'll get you home!" Aya promised as he nuzzled Omi's hair.

"Shh… Everything's okay, now!" He whispered. "Now! Let's get out of here!"

~ * ~ * ~ * ~

"Yohji! Ken! Hayaku!" Aya called as he went out the main door. "How did-" Schuldig half-shouted. "You're not going anywhere, Weiß!" Instantly, Yohji took his wires and held Schuldig tightly again. "A-a-ah! No escaping!" "Let him go!" Nagi yelled.  "AH!" Yohji's wires were cut off and he flew straight to the wall. "Yohji! Get your butt here at once!" Ken yelled.

"Hai!" Yohji obeyed as they all went running out the door. "Get in the van, quick!" Aya ordered as he laid Omi at the back. "I'm driving!" Ken said as he jumped on the front. "Go! Go! Go!" Yohji tapped the seat impatiently as Schuldig and Nagi came running after them. "We'll get you for this, Weiß! Count on it!"

Omi was moaning and mumbling inside their van. "Omi… Hang in there!" Aya said worriedly. "Move it, Ken!" Yohji ordered as he looked behind. "I'm going as fast as I can!" Ken said as we pulled around a corner. "Hang on tight! We're going for a shortcut!"

"Eh?" Aya and Yohji looked at each other. "Oh no… not the-" "Yes… we're flying over the river!" Ken said. "No, Ken! Wait-" Yohji stuttered. "AAAAHHH!!!"

You're mine… Little kitty! Schuldig brushed Omi's cheek and slowly trailed his hands on Omi's thighs.

No… NO! STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!

"Ah!" Omi instantly sat as he panted madly, it was still night. It was just a dream… He suddenly grasped his torso when he found out he was bandaged. His eyes widened when visions kept running back to his mind.

You're mine… Little kitty!

I want you to scream! Scream out loud! Feel pain!

There's no use in trying to act strong… you're just a little kitten!

Omi suddenly trembled and hugged himself as he allowed himself to break into tears. What did he ever do to deserve this? He suddenly heard someone come in the room and still didn't raise his head. "Omi…" It was Aya. The tone of his voice sounded worried and frightened. He quickly had Omi in his arms as Omi cried on his arms.

"It's all over, Omi… you don't need to think about those anymore!" Aya said as he stroked Omi's hair. "I… can't stop… shaking!" Omi said as he trembled. "I can't get it out of my head!" Omi whispered.

"Get a hold of yourself, Omi! Calm down!" Aya let go of Omi and shook him. "I can't calm down! How do… you expect me to calm down after what happened?" Omi said blankly, his eyes starting to turn hollow. "Omi…" Aya said. "W- what's… going to happen… to me… now?" Omi asked as tears strolled down from his eyes like rain.

"Omi…"

"I don't my life to change, I-" Aya interrupted him when Aya pressed his lips to Omi's. Omi's eyes turned back to his normal beautiful cerulean-blue eyes. A- Aya-kun?

Aya let go a few seconds later and left a wide-eyed Omi. "Please forget about those things… I don't want you to think about those things ever again!" he softly said. "I… I love you, Omi!"

"But… what about your girlfriend?"

"My… what?"

"You're girlfriend I thought you just had a date with her! The one named "Sandra"!" Omi said as he looked away. "What are you talking about?" he stood up and left the room. What was that all about? Omi wondered. A few seconds later, Aya came back and brought 3 red heart balloons, a rose and a freesia.

"Nani?" Omi gasped. "Happy Valentine's Day, Omi!" "Nani kore?" Omi asked. "I ordered these balloons from Sandra-kun! She's a close friend of Sakura, so I bought these from Sandra-kun!" Omi blushed madly as he looked at the rose and freesia.

"Oh! These are from Yohji and Ken… they helped me arrange it!" Aya blushed looking rather cute! ^_^ Omi kept silent as he watched at the balloons sadly. "I thought we have been together for 2 years… are you saying I cheated on you?" Aya asked worriedly.

"It's- it's not that!" Omi sighed. "It's just that… I've done such a terrible thing! I mistrusted you… Hontou ni gomene, Aya-kun!" Omi said dropping his head. "Daijoubu!" Aya softly said as he brought Omi into an embrace. "As long as you're right here with me!"

"Ariagtou… Aya-kun!"

"Looks like someone had a party last night!" Brad chuckled as he looked at his teammates' bruises. "What happened to you?" he turned to Farfarello. "God hurt me…" Farfarello answered calmly. Nagi sighed.

"Damn! I shouldn't have gone to that business party! It seems to me that everybody was having more fun here!" Brad teased. "Knock it off, Brad! We aren't in the mood for your silly gags!" Schuldig reflected.

"So… what did happen last night?"

"Nothing important… We just had a dare! A dare on a helpless kitty!"

Omi's POV

It was yet another day… I wasn't worried about my injuries; I was more worried about what happened to Yamato. "Omi-kun! You're all right!" Yamato jumped at me the first thing in the morning. "What happened?"

"Long story, Yamato-kun…" I smiled. "What are you talking about?" Yamato half-shouted. "Let's just say… it was the worst but yet the best!" Omi smiled.

Yamato's POV

I don't know what exactly happened but Omi seemed to be happier than usual. Strange. We were walking out the school gate when the redhead I met in their shop came to see Omi. "Omi!" he called.

"Aya-kun!" Omi turned as he ran to Aya. "See you tomorrow, Yamato-kun!" he gave one last wave. I understand now… this was what Omi meant. The worst thing that had happened to him in his life was being taken away from the best thing in his life! His koibito…
