Late in the afternoon of the next day Hibari woke up to find Mukuro in bed snuggled up next to him, and Dino and Byakuran in chairs by the bed one on his phone the other on a laptop. Both had serious looks on their faces. Hibari yawned, cringing as he felt a pain in his ribs and chest. Hearing the sound Dino looked up from his laptop.
"You're awake," he said happily, a warm smile gracing his lips. "How do you feel?"
"My chest and ribs hurt," Hibari croaked out, realizing his voice was probably still a bit damaged from being choked when being raped.
Dino nodded and stood up setting his laptop down in his chair. "I'll go get Doctor Shamal to check up on you, he can probably give you something for the pain."
Hibari watched the blonde leave the room. Shortly after he left, Mukuro woke up with a seductive moaning yawn while stretching like a cat. This action caught Byakuran's attention immediately, causing him to look away from his phone and to the indigo haired geisha.
"Mmmmm… Oh! Kyoya! You're awake!" he chirped adjusting his disheveled kimono. "Did you sleep alright?"
"Yeah, it was probably because of the pain killers, but I was able to sleep ok," he whispered, holding his hand out to the other. Mukuro took the hand carefully and kissed Hibari's fingertips, then nuzzled the palm of his hand.
"I wish I could do something…" Mukuro whispered, his brow furrowing. "I feel so useless…"
"You're not useless Mukuro," soothed Hibari, rubbing his thumb over the others cheek. "I would probably be a mess if I had woken up here and you weren't here by my side."
"Do you really mean that?" Mukuro asked an innocent look shining in his monochromatic eyes.
"Yes, having you here makes it easier to cope. I'm still on edge, but," said Hibari. "But you being here keeps me calm."
"Oh Kyoya! I promise I wont leave unless you tell me to!" Mukuro said feeling glad he could do something for the one person he cared so much for. Hibari smiled at him, then looked to the door and saw Dino walk back into the room with the doctor.
"Hello Hibari," greeted Shamal warmly. "Lets see how you're doing today shall we?"
He walked over and began checking Hibari's vitals. When done with that he injected some more pain medicine into the IV in Hibari's arm.
"There you go, you're mending nicely, just rest up some more. I'll send in a nurse in a little while with something for you to eat. Hibari nodded at him and pulled the covers up around him more. Mukuro snuggled up next to his side careful of his injuries. Hibari looked from the resting geisha at his side to the blonde businessman with the furrowed brow.
"Dino-sama, you're working too hard," chuckled Hibari, a gentle smirk playing on the edges of his lips.
"Ah I suppose I am, but it's all for a good cause," replied Dino looking up at Hibari, rubbing his hand over his face. Hibari noticed how tired the elder man looked but said nothing about it.
"Kyoya… I don't mean to pry… but why didn't you leave the room when you caught wind of Kikyo's violent nature?" asked Byakuran looking up curiously from his phone, amethyst eyes searching steel ones for an answer.
Hibari looked down at Mukuro, and began to stroke his indigo locks. "I wanted to run… but I couldn't… he was gentle at first… and then… then he just… he hit me… I wasn't expecting him to do it… I was just so shocked I couldn't do anything…" Hibari whimpered, resting his trembling hand on Mukuro's face and letting his tears run freely.
"He's despicable," growled Dino, glaring at his lap, clenching his hands into fists slightly shaking in rage.
"And then I couldn't breath… his hand was around my neck… and the world was becoming dark and finally when I though I was going to die he let go of me…" Hibari shook his head the memories flooding back. He shut his eyes tight and pulled Mukuro closer to him. Mukuro hummed in his sleep and wrapped his arms loosely around Hibari's middle.
"Kyoya don't push yourself to talk about it if you don't want to," cautioned Dino, looking at the younger with worry noticing how he was holding onto Mukuro like a security blanket.
"Why…" he finally whispered after about half an hour of him crying and clinging onto Mukuro to keep him from loosing his sanity. "Why did this happen… why me…"
Dino paled a bit, knowing this question would eventually come up, but didn't think it would happen so soon. He looked from the crying heap on the bed to the white haired man next to him to see if he could help answer.
"Kikyo is a very twisted man, Kyoya," Byakuran said carefully. "He only cares about what he wants, and thinks that he's obligated to have the nicest things just because he's wealthy. He is cold, calculating, and manipulative. Though all these things you probably know. And I'm sure that he's harmed others at the okiya before you, so you really shouldn't be so surprised that this happened."
"Byakuran! Don't be so cruel!" fussed Dino, glaring at the white haired man.
"I was simply stating the truth," said Byakuran, glancing at Mukuro, then going back to his phone.
"N-no Dino-sama, Byakuran-sama is right," Hibari said shakily. "Kikyo is known at the okiya for being rough and making it so the geisha he has been with that night is unable to function for the next few days."
"Why does Lussuria let him keep coming back if this keeps happening?" asked Dino, worry written on his face.
"Luss is only interested in the money, yes he likes us to stay beautiful, but he wants us to pay off our debts and make him money," answered Hibari, going back to stroking Mukuro's hair. "He told Kikyo that it's fine for him to be rough, but he can't kill us or damage us too badly because he still needs to get his money out of us."
"That's horrible!" Dino said, appalled that there were such people in the world.
Hibari slightly shrugged. "It's just our life I guess."
"I'm getting you out of there as soon as I can Kyoya, I wont tolerate you being manhandled by other men. I at least know that I wont hurt you," huffed Dino, going back to his work on his laptop.
"I do appreciate the care you're giving me Dino-sama," Hibari said watching him work on his laptop. "I don't deserve your kindness…"
"Don't speak such nonsense Kyoya, you've had such a hard life of course you deserve my kindness," Dino said glancing up at the skylark briefly and smiling warmly.
A few seconds later, Fon came into the room with a bouquet of flowers in a vase and set them on the nightstand next to Hibari's bed. He then sat on the bed next to Hibari and gently stroked his hair out of his face.
"Kyoya," he said calmly. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm feeling better, thank you for coming to see me, Fon," Hibari said smiling up at his older brother. A nurse came in while Fon was telling Hibari about his day and gave him his food. Mukuro woke up while Hibari was eating and started talking with Fon.
"How is everyone back at the okiya?" he asked.
"To be honest," Fon sighed. "They're all a little scared and worried. They're scared of what happened to Kyoya and Fran happening to them, and worried about Kyoya because he had to go to the hospital because of how rough Kikyo was with him."
"That makes sense for them to feel like that," sighed Mukuro running his hand over his face tiredly.
"Dino-sama did Doctor Shamal say when I could be released?" asked Hibari looking at the blonde curiously, not wanting the others at the okiya to worry.
"He hasn't said when yet. He said he wanted to keep you in the hospital so that your ribs could mend a bit more and so that they could make sure your lungs wont get punctured again. Your life was in danger Kyoya, and I wont forgive Kikyo for what he's done. He's a disgusting, horrible, wretched man that should be locked away or murdered." he growled, looking up at the raven with heated chocolate orbs.
"D-dino-sama…" Hibari gasped, placing his chopsticks down, and holding his hand out to the older male, which was accepted greatfully. He could see the rage in him and wanted to calm him down.
"I'm sure he'll get what's coming to him," said Byakuran with a smirk scrolling on his phone. Mukuro looked at him curiously.
"Oh? What makes you think that? He's been coming to the okiya for quite some time now, just waiting for Kyoya to be of age so he could ravage him, and now that he finally has he will probably try to do it again," Mukuro said mater-of-factly.
"I may have informed a few people who have vendettas against him of his where abouts," Byakuran's smirk grew wider. Mukuro looked at him incredulously.
"Why? Why would you do that?" he asked, turning his whole body to face the white hair male.
"Because I hate seeing you so distraught, Mukuro. Even if you have affections for Kyoya instead of me I would still try my best to make you the happiest that you possibly can be. And if that means having a hit placed on Kikyo then so be it," he explained.
Mukuro blushed, looked at the floor and began to toy with his hair. "I do have feelings for you though Byakuran-sama…" he mumbled shyly.
"Just like Kyoya has feelings for Dino I'm sure, but it's not as true of a love as you feel for Kyoya," sighed Byakuran examining the blushing geisha on the edge of the bed.
"It would appear as though you all are in quite a relationship problem," Fon concluded. "Quite an interesting little group of triangles you've got going on."
"Fon you're not helping," Hibari scolded softly looking at his tray of food.
"Well I don't see why you don't all just live together. Aren't Byakuran-sama and Dino-sama both from Italy? It would be easier on you all I think. Kyoya would be able to see Mukuro when ever he wanted and he would still be with Dino-sama, and Mukuro would still get to see Kyoya and get to be with Byakuran-sama," Fon said examining the ceiling tiles.
"You know now that you actually say it out loud… it would take some getting used to, but I'm sure it would be manageable," pondered Byakuran. Dino looked at the floor having an inner debate with himself.
"Fine, I'll do it, but if we are to share there has to be a schedule, I don't want to come home and find Kyoya and Mukuro messing around in the kitchen or something like that," he huffed.
"I agree, I don't think I would find that site too pleasant myself," Byakuran said crossing his arms over his chest.
"There is also the matter of their debts to the okiya," Fon said now examining the bouquet he had brought his younger brother.
"I'll pay off Mukuro's debt… I'm assuming that you'll be taking care of Kyoya's?" asked Byakuran turning his amethyst gaze on the blonde.
"Yes, I'll be taking care of that as soon as possible," he said with a glint of anger in his dark brown eyes.
"I-I don't know what to say…" Hibari stuttered, tears stinging his eyes.
"Just say that you'll be mine," Dino said with a weak smile.
"Ok… I will… but I'm also Mukuro's…" he said letting his tears run down his face. Dino stood from his chair, setting his laptop down, walked over to the side of the bed, Mukuro moving and going to go sit in Byakuran's lap.
"Ok Kyoya, ok. For you, only you, will I share," he whispered, hugging him gently kissing his forehead.
