CHAPER FOUR: TRUST BROKEN

-Rosita had been cleaned up and sent to the hospital, where Gemini had volunteered to watch over her, and make sure she recovered alright. Gemini felt uneasy about letting Ratchet stay in the theatre with Shinjiro, after all, if she killed Shinjiro, then she could get arrested, since they haven't actually proven Shinjiro's filthy deeds with Rosita. Gemini decided to call Subaru over the camera-phone to tell her what had happened.

"What's crackin'?" Subaru asked over the other end.

"I'm in the hospital right now," Gemini stuttered, still in shock, "Rosita Aires was just raped."

There was a moment of silence over the other end of the phone, "It was Shinjiro...wasn't it?"

"How did you know?" Gemini asked, confused.

"Well," Subaru explained, "I decided to confront Shinjiro about the whole 'he like me' stuff, and he just told me to shove a bottle of scotch up my ass and kill myself, so I figured that wasn't it. I did some snooping around, and word on the street was that some 'fancy dressed Japanese dude who takes your tickets and shit' went over to the warehouse twice every week for an hour or two."

Gemini gulped, "This has been happening Twice every week?"

"Sadly, yes," Subaru replied, "And for God-knows-how-long, too."

"Wh...who are you talking to?" Rosita asked very weakly.

"I'm talking to Suby, and telling her that we're in the hospital, and you're gonna be OK," Gemini replied, "do you want to talk to her?"

Rosita shook her head, "I think I'd rather be alone for a while...thanks, though."

Gemini nodded, and turned back to Subaru, "She's in good hands right now...but..."

"...She's one of our own," Subaru finished, "And you feel as though you can't leave her there."

"Not only that," Gemini explained, "But I was feeling...different...about Rosita at that moment. I felt very upset that she was like this, and I felt a burning, vengeful anger at Shiny for what he did."

"You'll come to understand these feeling better soon enough." Subaru advised her.

"Well, I guess I'd better get back to what I was doing, then. See you later, babe." Gemini blew a kiss over the phone and hung up. She turned her attention to Rosita.

"Do you need anything else, honey?" Gemini asked, with some concern in her voice.

"Can you stay a little longer?" Rosita asked.

"I thought you wanted to be alone?" Gemini pointed out.

"I just feel good knowing that you like me enough to look after me." Rosita replied with a weak smile.

Gemini nodded, "Are you going to be alright?"

"Yes..." Rosita mumbled as she laid back in her bed.

-There were a few minutes of silence between the girls, and a somewhat awkward silence at that; Rosita just stared at Gemini, her expression that of vague happiness. She didn't say anything, but it seemed like there was something she wanted to ask Gemini.

"Do you want to stay at my place for a while?" Gemini asked Rosita.

Rosita brightened up a bit.

"I was just thinking that maybe you would be safer if Shiny couldn't find you and do that again." Gemini suggested.

"Sure!" Rosita squealed, "We're gonna be best friends!"

"We can't tell anyone other than Suby about it, though," Gemini advised, "So ya think you can keep a secret?"

Rosita giggled as she nodded.

Gemini gave a sigh of relief; it seemed that at least Rosita would be safe from any further abuse in the near future, but at the same time, Gemini has never had to take care of a child in her life before.

I wonder if Suby ever wanted children...

-Gemini remembered a time when Subaru suggested that she wished she could have children; it was when she and Subaru were having sex. Gemini remembered that it was valentine's day, and she promised to have genital-on-genital cunningtus with Subaru in her estate. They both rubbed quickly, creating a large amount of friction, with an ecstasy-like feeling shocking through both of them. Gemini had, perhaps, started the thought about children.

"Suby," Gemini asked, minutes before attaining orgasm, "Did you ever want a daughter?"

"What an odd question to ask during sex!" Subaru pointed out, moaning with the sheer satisfaction of intimacy.

"Well, when a guy and a girl have sex, the girl gets pregnant and has a baby," Gemini explained, "So I figured that since you don't care about gender..."

"Gemini," Subaru explained, "There is a fine difference between gender and sex. Gender is a social construct of roles and expectations assigned to a person based on whether they have a penis or a birth canal, since most people can't understand sexes very well. Sex is the actual biological genitalia you have, and sadly, is more difficult to reject than gender roles. I can act like a dude all I want, but my body still contains ovaries."

Gemini frowned, "But I like you better this way, Suby! I can't even THINK about touching a penis!" Gemini scowled, and nearly got turned off at the thought of this.

"Neither do I" Subaru agreed.

"But hypothetically," Gemini suggested," would you have a daughter if you could?"

Subaru groaned a bit more, then came into Gemini with a grunt of sheer satisfaction. "Only if she was OUR daughter...if you get my drift..."

Gemini blushed; it is true, she was perfectly comfortable with being naked in front of Subaru, but this was the first time anyone admitted to wanting to have children with her.
