DISCLAIMER:... You already it if you're this far into the story.
Note: Any text that appears like this 'dsadsa' is basically N's thoughts, since italics would just be confusing. Prepare for more Unwin-ness.
Unwin flicked his hand casually at the other two women, as if to tell them to leave. They followed his order, bowing slightly before they left the room. Touko instantly lifted her hand to slap Unwin, but he was ready for that kind of reaction; his free hand caught it centimetres away from his cheek. He gripped it tightly. Touko hissed in pain, and once Unwin let go, she cradled it protectively.
"N! IF YOU'RE IN THERE, SOMEWHERE, PLEASE TELL UNWIN TO STOP!" She desperately cried out, staring straight into Unwin's nearly black irises; there was no answer from N.
"When you married N, in turn, you married me as well, Touko-chan; you just weren't aware of it."
Tears started collecting at her bottom eyelids, threatening to spill over. "Unwin…?"
"Yes?" His malevolent gaze focused on her, causing her to shiver.
"Were you the one that N was talking to when we were on the Ferris wheel?"
"Yes, and, in fact, I'm surprised that you figured it out...now, about your apology- Please don't, Un. You might hurt he- N, I believe I am perfectly capable of taking care of this situation! Who the hell do you think you are, interrupting me?" The young man's facial expression changed so frequently that Touko was afraid that he was about to rip in half, right there and then.
Unwin swung his neck to the left, and a cracking noise was heard. He collected himself, and returned to speaking with Touko. "Sorry about that." He weaved his fingers in and out of Touko's hair, wrapping his fingers around a thick strand, tugging on it affectionately.
"What do I need to apologize for? As far as I know, I wasn't the one who locked me in my own room for a week." She answered.
(Unwin's POV)
'I don't think she remembers when we…well, you slept with her and found out that she had-'
'Really? Hmm. This could be quite handy.'
"What do you remember before you woke up in your room?"
Touko seemed reluctant to answer; she didn't fully trust me yet. "I remember…meeting up with Cheren. That's all." N wanted to take over. I guess I could give the little guy a chance to speak with our wife.
(End POV)
"And nothing else, Touko-san?" N asked, his eyes clearly hiding something.
"What do you mean by that? …Are you talking about the video Ghetsis showed me?"
"What video? Un, what- SHUT UP!" Unwin clutched a handful of Touko's hair, fiery rage burning in his eyes. "That was our little secret, Touko, and you had to go and tell N." Unwin roughly lifted Touko up by the handful of hair. She shrieked, and Unwin gave her a strangely satisfied look, as if he wanted to see her in pain; he threw her to the ground. "Father and I had been keeping an eye on your friend," Unwin practically spat out the word 'friend'. "And we agreed to show him the interview and video if you didn't behave. That's the sole reason why it was made. However…I'm willing to forget this if you…" He chuckled sinisterly. He forced himself upon her, forcing his lips against hers. Touko pushed him backwards, but his weight was too great for her to shift from herself.
"Touko-chan; this is the part where you play the good little obedient wife." Unwin purred, pinning Touko beneath him. Her body quivered slightly, and Unwin slowly started taking off her clothing. "This is the part where you say that you will become mine and N's."
"No. NO! I can't! He's my best friend!" She turned her head defiantly to the side, shutting her eyes tight. Unwin paused and got up from above Touko. He picked up her clothes and helped them back on without a word. Touko opened her eyes, only then noticing that N was back.
"I'm so sorry, Touko. Friends shouldn't-" He bawled his eyes out before he was able to finish his sentence. He leaned on Touko, embracing her, and covered her bare chest with warm tears.
"I have to go speak with Father about this. I will see you tomorrow." His voice was cold, emotionless. He left, leaving the door unlocked behind him.
"I haven't a clue about what you're blabbering on about, N." Ghetsis said dismissively, looking down upon the boy.
"But…Touko-san said that she saw-"
"N, my boy, you must understand that sometimes little vixens such as Touko lie through their teeth just to cause you harm. And do you know who put her up to it?"
"…Cheren?"
"Yes. He's the one who tainted your queen. I wouldn't be surprised if she had contacted him yet again."
N's eyes went blank, and for a moment, there was silence, although it didn't last very long. N's cry of fury sounded through the room. "Cheren! I tried to ignore him, to keep him away from my queen. But obviously, that isn't enough! Sandai!" He called out for the youngest member of the Shadow Triad. He appeared in a flash, crouching down before his lord. "Take me to Cheren."
(Cheren's POV)
Being guarded 24/7 by a bunch of cultists while my best friend is suffering a far-off castle, thanks to a green-haired psychopath, isn't my idea of fun. I heard someone speaking loudly outside, so I got up to see who it was, only to be blocked by one of the said cultists.
"Hey! What's going on out there?" I asked; I probably wouldn't get a useful response anyway.
"It does not concern you, boy."
Go figures!
"Honey, please try to listen to the man; you don't want to get into more trouble." My mother told me, a weak smile crossing her face. I sighed out, and went upstairs into my room. I slammed the door behind myself, and lay down face first onto my taupe-brown quilt cover. There was an even louder conversation coming from downstairs, but I chose to ignore it this time. Someone started to tread heavily upon the stairs. My door opened and I looked back. "You…" He uttered. His hands were in fists; his knuckles were as white as a Swanna.
"What do you want, N? Do you want to mock me further?" I said, getting up from the bed.
"You…defiled my queen." He seethed. Someone from behind him closed the door.
"...She doesn't belong to you, or anyone else. It was her own choice, our own choice. It happened before you even knew she existed!" I shouted at him, but it seemed to piss him off even further.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" He ran at me, and grabbed onto the front of my t-shirt. I tried to duck away from his incoming fist, but I failed to do so; I heard something crack when the fist hit my jaw. I fell back, rubbing my cheek. I spat out some blood on the floor.
"Wait!" I lifted my hands up in defense. "H-how did you find out?"
"Hmm, what a good question! Let's just say we found out the good ol' fashioned way! How about that?" N's voice had gone deeper. I curled my fingers into a fist, but N was ready for me. He kneed me in the gut and I double-over, clutching my bedside table for support. I wheezed, and unable keep upright, I crumpled down onto the floor. A strong kick to my weak body made pain shoot right through me, and I tried to scream but nothing came out. I feebly turned my head towards my attacker, but I failed to see anything clearly; my glasses had fallen off and N had crushed them under his sneaker. He continued kicking me, and with each kick, I felt more and more faint. He stamped down on my right leg, and something snapped. I yelled out; the agony was indescribable. He bent down, looking over me, and I defiantly glared at him, not that it was going to do me any good. "You have to restrain yourself, N. I think he's had enough. But he tried to take my Touko from me. You told me to- Yeah, but I didn't think you'd lose it- I didn't! He has to pay for what he did."
My eyes widened at the madman before me. With my uninjured hand, I tried dragging myself towards the door, as far as I could get from the crazed green-haired psychopath. The closer I got to the door, I heard louder and louder shouting on the other He didn't seem to notice my movements, so I hurried, and pulled down on the handle; it didn't budge.
Another kick to my head, and everything went dark, the pain slowly disappearing.

-The next day-
(Touko's POV)
For some reason, Unwin had taken me to a hospital. As I was sitting, he conversed with a nurse. I couldn't pick up what he was saying, but once he finished, he told me to follow the nurse. While we walked, he wrapped his arm around my waist possessively; he, unlike N, rarely acted in a kingly manner outside the castle. We were led to a room; there was no name on the door unlike on the other doors. There were two Team Plasma members standing guard outside the door, and I heard sobbing from behind the door.
The nurse returned to whatever she was doing, and Unwin opened the door, directing me inside. And then I saw him. His mother was crying on his father's shoulder.
"Touko, I want you to be very clear on this. This is what happens when you disobey. This is what happens that boy tries to get between us. Understand?"
I couldn't listen to him. All I could see before me was Cheren's mangled body. His chest rose and fell erratically. His face was bruised black and blue, and had puffed up. One of his legs was in a cast, as well as one of his wrists. His eyes weakly opened, and as he noticed me, he seemed to be mustering all of his strength to turn his head and look the other way.
Unwin really likes to say 'this' quite a bit, doesn't he. I'm not sure whether Ghetsis and Unwin are on the same evil side yet.
Yes, I know this chapter was very POV heavy. I was listening to Break the Ice by Britney Spears while I was writing until about the Cheren part, which is where I started listening to Queen's The Show Must Go On.
I'll try to update as soon as I can, and, as usual, reviews are really appreciated~
