Chapter 6: D is for Dangerous

"Look. I don't know where Nadeshiko is! Please just leave me alone!", I shrieked, tightly shutting my eyes. Screw dignity. I'll beg if I have to.

"Is your name Rhythm?", the guy asked me. I stared at him dumbfounded. He thinks I'm Rhythm? How does he even know about Rhythm?

"Uh, Y-yeah! That's m-me! Rhythm. Mhm, Fujisaki Rhythm!", I stuttered. His cobalt blue eyes were locked onto mine. I could feel my heartbeat racing, his hands wrapping around my waist, his breath hitting my nose.

"Tsukiyomi Ikuto", he whispered.

"Huh?"

"It's my name", he replied.

"Oh", I dumbly answered. The silence was awkward for a few seconds. He seemed to grow annoyed with the silence because he grabbed my arms and slammed me against the nearest wall.

"Ow! Why'd you do that!", I tried rubbing my head but my arms were held in place above my head. He pressed against me and I know I was blushing. I tried backing away from him, but I couldn't, thanks to the wall.

"No reason in particular", he replied with a smirk. I was about to protest when I felt something moving near my pants.

"Whaaa-ngh! Sto-", I tried protest but he was touching me in the most sensitive area on my whole body.

"Iku-", I felt a throbbing down there. What is this? Am I supposed to feel like this? It's uncomfortable, but it feels pretty good. I felt like I was about to explode at that point. His hand was moving so fast. I felt it back off and I heard a groan of disappointment and I'm ashamed to admit it came from me.

"Wh-why did y-yo-", I began to say.

"Why did I stop? I never even moved my hand. You were the one humping my hand", he chuckled. I felt like crawling into a hole. My face felt so warm. I swore I'd die of embarrassment.

"I wasn't asking why you stopped! I was asking why did you do that! It's inappropriate! I'm only a kid!", I shrieked losing the little composure I had.

"It doesn't matter why I did it. What matters is that you enjoyed it. I can't believe you got so hard from a little contact like that. Maybe you really like me?", he chuckled again.

"No I don't! I like girls! Stop teasing me!", I shrieked again. I felt the tears in the corners of my eyes. I refused to let them fall, not in front of this guy. I could've sworn his expression softened a bit, but I couldn't be sure. I was feeling very confused at the moment and all these emotions were just swirling inside me.

My next question was one that changed our odd, stalker to victim relationship.

"Why'd you tell me your name?", I whispered. I was half hoping he couldn't hear me, but he did.

"Maybe it's because I'm interested in you", he replied with a strange tone. I wasn't sure exactly what that tone was, but it was the most honest sounding thing he has told me up at that point. I felt my cheeks burning. He buried one hand in my hair and the other wrapped around me, pressing me into his chest.

"I-I'm not interested in you! Stop touching me! Stay away from me and Nadeshiko!", I tried sounding intimidating, but it was a feeble attempt. I tried pounding on his chest, but I quickly gave up. I was too exhausted.

"If it were up to me I wouldn't even be after Nadeshiko", he muttered.

"What? Then why are you after her?", I interjected his thoughts.

"I.. Just forget I said anything", Tsukiyomi-san let go and walked out my front door without another word. Why do I feel so crappy now? I feel like I said something I shouldn't have. I wish he were still here. I thought to myself, but I quickly interjected my own thoughts. Whoa. Miss him? He's a creeper. I barely even know him? What's wrong with you, Nagi? Stop thinking such stupid things.

I went upstairs to my room and lied down. I still felt the throbbing down there. Aah! How do I get rid of this? It hurts so much. I stuck my hand into my pants and hissed at the contact. A-aah! It feels kinda good now. I rubbed myself raster and faster until I felt like bursting. Then I did burst. I did burst? Oh no! did I break something in me? Maybe I wasn't supposed to do that? I worried about the white liquid dripping from my hands. I felt fine, but I was still worried.

I'll ask Rhythm about it. Maybe he knows. I sighed again. My thoughts wandered to Tsukiyomi-san.

Do I like him? He is quite alluring, but he is a criminal. He's also probably much older than I am. Does this mean I'm gay? But I like girls too! They're soft and pretty and… but Tsukiyomi-san makes me feel uneasy, but safe? Aaah! It's so contradictory. I borrowed a pair of my brother's sweatpants and a t-shirt of his. I heard the doorbell ring and I quickly made my way downstairs.

Rhythm? I opened the door and breathed a breath of relief when Rhythm walked in.

"Hey Nagi!", he walked in and ruffled my hair. I took a good look at my brother. He was a foot taller than me. His hair was more indigo than violet and his eyes were a bright lavender unlike my honey colored eyes. My brother was very handsome. It makes me sort of proud to say that someone that attractive is related to me. "Nagi? Nagi?", a voice spoke in my thoughts. Mmm. Even his voice his pretty decent. I wish mine was like that, all nice and deep.

"Nagi?", I was suddenly snapped out of my small daze.

"U-uh, yeah?", my voice cracked.

"Are you alright? You're spacing out and looking a bit flushed? Do you need some rest?", he asked with concern laced in his words. That's when it struck me. I was checking my brother out. What is wrong with me? That's sick. I'm not supposed to like someone related to me! Wait. But the fact that he's a guy doesn't bother me? No! I'm not gay. Stop thinking this! It's all that Tsukiyomi-san's fault. Implanting negative thoughts in me! Stop THINKING! Bad Nagi! Bad Nagi! I like girls! I can't like guys!

"Nagi, come let me check your temperature", Rhythm leaned forward and rested his cool forehead against my warmer one. I felt all the blood rushing to my face. Gotta stay calm. It's just Rhythm. Then Rhythm backed up and looked me in the eye. I could see his irises clearly. They were much prettier than my own. I stopped myself before any thoughts could progress farther.

"I'm alright Nii-san! Honest!", I smiled to my brother.

A few seconds of pregnant silence elapsed. Rhythm then smirked knowingly. I flash of dread went through my eyes but I quickly covered it up with my usual calm demeanor I have at school. What could he possibly know? Hopefully it's not about Tsukiyomi-san? Maybe Rhythm knows I was checking him out? No! He'll think I'm insane! He'll probably tell Temari! And she'll eat me because I'm such a disgrace!

"So, Nagi, how has school as a guy been?", he asked with a playful tone.

"F-fine", I tried staying calm. Crap, he knows. He definitely knows.

"Have you been making new friends?", he asked heavily emphasizing friends meaning, that he wasn't talking about friends at all. Crap. He probably saw me with Tsukiyomi.

"Yeah. I'm friends with the student council. I'm even part of the student council!", I tried changing the topic.

"I don't mean those kinds of friends. I mean… friends", he asked leaning towards me. I tried back up. He was so intimidating.

"Have you gotten any action, Na-gi-chan?", he whispered in me ear, emphasizing each syllable. Is he seducing me? This is so inappropriate.

"I NEVER DID ANYTHING! IT WAS ALL HIS FAULT!", I ended up shrieking. Rhythm looked very confused. Are we talking about two different things?

"His fault? I didn't know you swung that way Nagi. I meant that if you had a little girlfriend or something. Ahaha, this is awkward", he laughed nervously. I tried breaking the silence by asking the first question I had in my mind.

"Is it normal for your penis to burst?" I clamped my hands to my mouth to prevent it from spewing more ridiculous things. Way to fucking go, Nagihiko. Not awkward at all. For the first time, Rhythm's face was bright red.

"Wh-what?"

"I mean. Uh. I noticed that my p-penis was very red, hard, and swollen, s-so I touched it. A-and it f-felt relieved for a second. S-so I kept doing it faster and f-f-faster and it almost felt like I was going to explode. Then boom! I-it exploded and all this white s-stuff came out! Will I b-be okay?", I asked trying very hard to suppress the blush and the stutter. Rhythm was so red and he tried his best to avoid all eye contact with me.

"It's called masturbating, Nagi. it's normal. Teenage guys do it all the time to relieve stress and sexual tension", he said with confidence, but with the blushing you could tell he was feeling quite uncomfortable. I let out a breath of relief when he said it was normal.

"Have you ever master-uh-debated?", I asked stupidly tripping up on the new word. I grew much more comfortable with the topic knowing that it was normal. Rhythm however, looked pretty embarrassed.

"Yeah. I have.", he answered simply. I can tell that he's trying to suppress his blush. I smiled at him comfortingly. I still had so much to ask about it. I should've walked away from the topic but no. Me and my stupid, curious, fourteen year old mind had to ask more questions.

"Is there a technique to it? I felt like I was doing it wrong. Can you demonstrate on me or something?", I spoke feeling like it was the most natural thing.

"Wh-what?", he cried, "that's very inappropriate! I can't do that!".

"Why not?", I asked simply.

"Th-that's very sexual!"

"Not if you don't make it out to be", I countered.

"I-I. O-okay. I'll do it, but you can't tell anyone. A-and remember. Y-you asked for it!", he reluctantly agreed.

I left Nadeshiko's house; I wondered how the hell I was going to find that girl. Soon, my mind drifted however. Why did I tell that boy my name? Why do I feel so fascinated by him? He's so young, it's considered pedophilia, this obsession. He is cute. Dry humping my hand like that. I bet he doesn't even know what that was. Do I really want to ruin such an innocent boy? I shook my head no, but my mind and lower regions were screaming yes. I groaned. I am not a sicko like those guys from Easter. I'm really not.

I headed towards the park. I made a decision. I am going to prolong this mission. I want to be around that boy. He's so… enticing? No matter how I phrase this I'm a pedohile.

I made my way to the city park. I laid down on a field of grass. I needed a break from all this Easter business. It was too much for a college kid to handle.

"Oi, Ikuto!", someone called out at me. I instinctively winced. I knew that voice from anywhere. I tried ignoring the owner of the voice, but the damn kid didn't know when he was unwanted.

"Ikuto! Stop ignoring me, nya!", a blur pounced on me.

"Get the hell off of me, Yoru!", I shoved the kid off. That was Yoru. He was a kid sucked into Easter, just like me and Utau, under different circumstances, though. I've always looked after Yoru like a kid brother, but sometimes he is really unbearable.

"Yoru, I'm seriously not in the mood to play around", I scolded him.

"I know. I was trying to cheer you up", he said solemnly. Crap. I'm such an ass. Yoru's black hair draped over his eyes. I grabbed his chin and forced him to look at me. The kid gasped. His yellow catlike eyes widened in shock. Whenever he makes faces like that its hard to believe his like fifteen or something; he could pass for a ten year old with his innocent features.

"Thanks Yoru", I smiled at him. He and Utau are the only ones I have ever felt so open with. And that violet-haired kid makes me feel nice too. Yoru had a faint blush. He's always had this admiration/crush thing on me. I decided to humor him and pressed my lips lightly on his. I pulled back and smirked. His blush increased tenfold. He was so cute when he was like this.

"I-Ikuto! D-don do that agai-", I cut him off with another one. His muffled protests diminished. I pinned him the ground and hovered over him without removing my lips. I let go after a few more seconds. I leaned over and kissed him again, this time I wasted no time in sliding my tongue on his bottom lip. He parted his lips almost immediately and pushed his tongue into my mouth. I felt his hands gripping my hair almost desperately. His tongue roamed my mouth timidly. I smirked into the kiss. He's such a whore. I mimicked his ministration with more confidence. I felt myself getting hard and realized that it was a good time to stop. I pulled apart from Yoru and just watched him for a few moments. Yoru's eyes were glazed over, his lips were swollen and red and slightly parted.

"Ikuto", he said dazedly. It was wrong to mess with him like this, but it relieves stress, and Yoru didn't mind at all. . . I think. I noticed that it was getting dark out. The sun has already set. I pushed myself off of Yoru and sat next to him. The sky was hued green and blue. The long silence was soothing.

"Ikuto… what are you gonna do after all this?", Yoru asked after a few minutes of silence. I glanced over to him and noticed that his face was still a bit flushed.

"I'm probably just going to go pick up dinner and head back to Easter, I guess", I answered nonchalantly.

"No, not that. I meant after you fulfill your duties to Easter? What are you doing then?", Yoru asked me. That really caught me off guard. I've always wanted to be a professional musician. I hoped that attending a music college would bring me closer to my dreams so I'm enrolled in Seiyo's Institute of Performing Arts. Easter has me running all over the place though. It should be my second year already, but I've only attended 5 classes in two years. It was at that moment that it really hit me how Easter has wasted my life.

"I'm going to become a famous musician", I said distantly.

How could I have known that being a musician would always be a silly fantasy?

Ah. A review or two would be lovely, no?
