I watched him sleep, blood was still caked on his porcelain body, but his injuries were healing. This was very good.

But no matter how much his physical body was getting better, I knew that Yuki was broken and needed protection badly.

Akito had finally got what he wanted and broke his rat.

No, not his, mine, and not rat, no I can't think of him like that, more like a mouse.

Now look what you did you kuso nezumi! I'm getting all soft, but it's OK as long as I'm with you.

I'm so tired of being here

Suppressed by all my childish fears


And if you have to leave


I wish that you would just leave


'Cause your presence still lingers here


And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal


This pain is just too real


There's just too much that time cannot erase

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears


When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears


And I held your hand through all of these years


But you still have


All of me

You used to captivate me


By your resonating light


Now I'm bound by the life you left behind


Your face it haunts


My once pleasant dreams


Your voice it chased away


All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal


This pain is just too real


There's just too much that time cannot erase

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone


But though you're still with me


I've been alone all along

"Mgh, no stop! Not again, it hurts, so bad Ngh!"

Oh no! He was dreaming again. There had to be some way I could help…………maybe.

I tried to put him at ease body brining him into my arms, pulling him close to me.

I got onto the bed and put his small body in between my legs, with his head resting on my chest. I played with his soft silver/purple hair, and somehow 15 minutes passed with it feeling like 1.

Putting my chin atop his head I sighed.

Why couldn't this have not happened? Akito owns the family, and we know that were just animals on his leash no matter how much we try to fight it.

But she doesn't have to do this and NOBODY deserves to be hurt and raped that badly.

Especially Yuki, who had put up with the abuse for his whole life.

I looked at his face; it had scars and bruises all over. Even though his closed eyes and slightly parted mouth gave the illusion of the beautiful prince peacefully sleeping, I knew he was tortured inside.

His body was hurt so badly that mentally, I don't know how stable he was until he woke up, but now, even if I didn't want it, we had to keep him sedated.

Until his wounds heal a little bit more, I could only imagine what would happen if he was awake eight now.

I'm so selfish, because I wouldn't be able to handle it if I saw him awake and crying, broken again. I looked down at him, and his breathing had returned to normal again. He wasn't dreaming.

Hopefully he would stay that way for a little while longer.

Torture is what your unconscious mind must be clouded with right now. I couldn't imagine it, the pain she put you through, but you must have handled it well in the beginning and fought back.

Or else you wouldn't have gotten hurt so badly. It was from retaliation. Yuki you're so brave, that they had to get out handcuffs just to hold you down.

I can tell by the markings on your wrists.

I would never have fought back; I would be too scared, and given in.

Great! One of his cuts started bleeding again, I guess I have to take care of that right away.

I picked Yuki up (bridal style HEHEHEHE!) got off the put, and placed him back down.

Quickly I got another sedative from the number of ones that Hatori had given me just in case, and injected it into his arm.

A glimpse of pain showed on his face for a second, but then it disappeared as he sank further into the pillows, deeply asleep.

Then I knew I could change his bandage without waking him up.

Taking off one of the bandages I wanted to cry. There was so much blood, everywhere, and the wounds were so deep.

But thank god that none of them were infected. Hatori cleaned them well. I will never leave your side, that's a promise you don't really believe yet.

You trusted Akito a little bit to never go this far even though you were abused by him. Either that being because you have the bond or that you're too trusting I wouldn't know, maybe you knew that something like this would happen.

I love you, Yuki.

I will be in Florida for the next week, so I won't be able to do my usual weekly update. But don't worry; I get to write for 4 hours to get there and 4 hours to get back. And in between that I can write at night. So If I don't write at least the next three chapters I am screwed.
