Chapter 6: Savior
Recap: .. his cry for help unheard in the empty streets..
One moment, Kaito was just hurrying to get home and the next, he found himself struggling as two men wearing masks pinned him against the ground. Suddenly without warning, one of the guys began to undo Kaito's jacket and reach under his shirt, and Kaito flinched at the foreign touch on his bare skin. He yanked his arm to get free but the guy holding him down was too strong and held down his arms with one hand, using the other to lift up his chin. Kaito stared at the guys with fear, unable to see the faces under the masks that covered their eyes. When the guy holding him down leaned in and pressed his lips to Kaito's forcefully, Kaito clamped it shut, trying to pull his face away though to no avail as the guy held on tight.
Then the other began stroking Kaito's bare chest, taking in one of his nipples and sucking on it. Kaito gasped, allowing access to his mouth and the tongue pushed in to devour every inch of his warm cavern. The feeling of the guy's tongue in his mouth made Kaito want to throw up, the man unrelenting on his bruising lips. Just as he began to feel light-headed from lack of air, the guy broke the kiss and stared down at the blue-haired man, breathless beneath him.
"Oh god you're hot! I just wanna fuck you now!"
"Oi oi, wait you're turn!" The other yelled out, slowly working at unzipping Kaito's pants.
"N-no, s-stop it!" Kaito cried out, tears flowing down his pale cheeks as helplessness overcame him.
"Aw, don't cry babe. My bud here and I'll take good care of ya." The man kissed him again, practically eating him up. Then Kaito remembered what Gakupo had told him and tried to fight back, biting down on the intruder's tongue and kicking at the one fumbling with his pants, taking the chance to crawl out from under them and attempt to run.
"You bitch!" The two guys chased him and before Kaito could go far, one of the guys grabbed him by the collar and yanked him down, knocking the breath out of him as he hit the ground hard. Then, the guy held him up from behind by his arms.
"This'll teach you to mess with us!" The guy who'd had his tongue bitten wiped off the blood dripping from his mouth and spat on the ground as he slowly approached the semi-conscious Kaito. Just as he looked up to see the man's leg swing at him, in the blink of an eye his face was awfully close to the ground and the kick sent him bracing for impact as he skidded hard on the gravel, feeling the skin scrape off his face. As he tried to get back up, the guy pushed him down again with his foot, repeatedly kicking Kaito in the side as he laughed hysterically.
Once he finally got a hold of himself, he was pleased to see Kaito panting on the ground, blood now dripping from the corner of his mouth and his eyes hazed from the pain. He then grabbed a handful of the blue locks and pulled Kaito up, glaring at him with cold eyes.
"You do what we say, got that whore?" With that, he slapped Kaito across his face, sending him tumbling on his back again.
"Now let's see if you've learned your lesson y'slut!"
Kaito could only lie there powerless as the two men began to strip off his clothes, his already weak body even weaker from their brutal beatings.
"Please.. stop.. it.." Kaito begged, his words barely escaping his bleeding lips in whispers, the tears stinging his torn cheek.
As the guys continued without a care, a tall figure appeared at the entrance of the alleyway, his silhouette casting a threatening shadow over the two attackers.
"Hey, beat it you damn street rats!"
"G-gakupo?.." Kaito called out weakly, squinting at the light that shone from the direction of the voice.
"W-who the fuck are you?"
"Thought I told you to beat it." The mysterious man repeated in a calm but dangerous voice, threatening to hurt them if they didn't oblige.
"Yeah? Well we'll beat it outta you!"
One of the men charged at the figure, slashing out a knife.
"Tsk, and even though I gave them a warning."
With that, he dodged the random slashes swiftly and kicked them out of the guy's hand, ramming him into the wall.
As the other man was about to charge at the tall figure, the knife that was used to attack the figure sliced by, leaving a trail of blood along the man's cheek. As he looked behind him to see the knife stuck on the wall, he began to tremble in fear, backing off instead of charging him as he planned.
"Y-you'll pay for this!" The two scrambled off, not even looking back.
"Yeah right. Hey, are you alright?"
The man approached Kaito and then taking a quick look, said with a frown, "Hm, I guess you wouldn't be."
"W-who are you?" Kaito looked up at the silhouette of his rescuer, the man a similar height as Gakupo but with much shorter hair.
"Here, let me help you up." He pulled Kaito up and slung an arm over his shoulder to give support, picking up the strewn jacket and covering Kaito's bare torso.
"Where do you live? I'll take you there."
Kaito winced, pointing to the direction of his house.
"T-thanks for saving me back there." Kaito managed to whisper, barely holding onto his consciousness.
"But, why'd you save me?"
He looked up at the man supporting him, taking in his sharp features and the short turquoise hair that seemed to glow under the streetlights.
"You can call me Mikuo, Kaito-san. Hey, do you mind if I call you Kaito?"
Mikuo smiled down at him.
"Oh, sure. W-wait! How did you know my name?"
Startled, Kaito stumbled a bit, his eyes wide in surprise forgetting that he WAS a super-famous idol.
"How could I possibly not know YOUR name, Kaito?" Mikuo chuckled.
"Oh, you knew I was one of the Vocaloids?"
"Well, not just that. I'm a photographer y'see so I'm pretty familiar with a lot of stars."
"Eh, that sounds n-"
Before he could finish, his legs suddenly gave out and Kaito almost collapsed on the pavement if it weren't for Mikuo holding him up.
"Here Kaito, just let me carry you home, alright?"
Mikuo swiped Kaito off his feet and held him bridal style, continuing on down the street before Kaito could even oppose.
"Nngh, you don't have to.."
Kaito began to argue against it, but his voice faded and his eyes closed slowly as he rested his beaten body against the strong chest, slipping into unconsciousness.
xXx
"Gakupo-san, will you please quit pacing around the house?" Luka cried out in annoyance from watching him pace in circles for hours.
"But Kaito isn't picking up his phone! What if something happened to him?"
He pulled at his hair, getting himself even more anxious with that thought.
"We're worried too Gaku-nii, but we gotta calm down if we wanna find him." Miku spoke calmly, her own hands trembling slightly.
"I'm telling you, if that Bakaito walks in through that door with 20 scoops of ice cream like last time and does his stupid laugh, I'mma gonna KILL him!"
Meiko ground her teeth furiously, not drunk for once, pounding the poor couch pillow in an attempt to hide her own worries about their air-head of a family.
"It's so like him to get lost or something and make us worry like this," sighed Rin, shaking her head side to side as Len sat beside her, clutching her hand tightly.
"He'll be alright. He just has to be.."
Len bit his lip as he let Rin lean on him, patting her shoulder gently to keep them both calm.
"Argh, that's it! I'm going out there to search for him myself!"
Just as Gakupo headed for the door, the bell rang and the Vocaloids froze on the spot, all 12 eyes focused on the door. When no one answered, an unfamiliar voice called out.
"Hullo~ Is anyone home? I've brought something that might be of interest to you~"
The voice on the other side sang out happily, something about the voice causing Gakupo to snap.
"We don't have time for your stupid merchandise!" Gakupo yelled out at the owner of the voice as he slammed open the door.
"Ho?~ So you DON'T want him?"
Mikuo calmly asked as he showed the "merchandise" in his arms.
Gakupo froze when he saw Kaito's sleeping face, staring speechless, not believing his eyes.
"What's wrong Gaku-nii? Is it Kaito-nii?" The others began to rush over to the door, the little ones asking hopefully.
"Y-yeah.." Gakupo replied dumbfounded, still too shocked to see Kaito, especially in the arms of some stranger. However, he soon recovered from the initial shock when he noticed all the wounds covering Kaito's body, his clothes torn and his beautiful face covered in blood.
"What'd you do to him?" Gakupo demanded, venom dripping from each word he spoke as he snatched Kaito out of Mikuo's arms, holding him gently.
At the sudden movement, Kaito awoke from his slumber and clung to Gakupo's shirt.
"D-don't get mad at him, Gakupo. He saved me."
Kaito displayed a weak smile as he relaxed into the familiar warmth of his lover's arms.
"Kaito.."
Gakupo looked down at him, his eyes brimming with compassion while hating himself for not being there to protect his lover. While the two exchanged glances, Mikuo just stood at the doorstep, glaring at Gakupo.
"Um, sorry for barking at you like that. I didn't know you saved him. Thank you."
When Gakupo apologized, Mikuo whipped away and scoffed as he walked down the steps, inaudible to the others that stood further inside the house.
"You can't even protect something important to you. Pathetic."
Mikuo trudged off, his attitude completely different from before with Kaito, waving his hand in a dismissing manner at the gaping samurai.
'That BASTARD!'
Gakupo clenched his teeth, fighting to control his temper so that he could care for Kaito first.
From far, Mikuo watched silently as Gakupo carried Kaito inside and slammed shut the door, the loud fussing inside the house, probably about Kaito, waking some of the neighbors.
"You just wait my precious, we'll be together very soon."
With that, Mikuo walked into the darkness, a low chuckle emanating through the alleyways.
