Previously
Yuki's could feel his heart beating faster and faster as Kyo slid further down his torso, then he felt it, the feeling behind his eyes he had suppressing all night since the bar. He tried to force it away, but he couldn't hold it back anymore. He just let the feeling spread all over his body until it enveloped him completely.
Kyo continued his way down to Yuki's pant line. Once he got there he looked up at Yuki, but something was wrong. Yuki wasn't reacting anymore. Kyo pushed himself up to Yuki's face only to find him sleeping. Kyo let out one of the biggest sighs of his life and then laughed. "How the hell could you fall asleep during something like this?" Kyo watched his sleeping face and then got off of him and laid beside him. "Oh, well. You did say you were tired. Maybe we'll finish up next time." He gave Yuki one last kiss on the forehead before falling asleep with Yuki in his arms.
Now
It was pretty early in the morning when Shigure leaned over his brother, who was clutching his pillow tightly in his sleep. He leaned closer and then blew into his ear whispering, "Aya, wakey wakey artachaky."
"Me don't want to Shi…," his voice slurred off with his sleep. His head wasn't feeling the best right now. Every noise, even Shigure's whisper was making his head rattle.
"Aww, does someone have a hang over?" Shigure asked now standing over his brother. He grabbed a hold of his brother's blankets and pulled it off his brother and onto the floor. Ayame lie there in the same clothes he wore yesterday. "Geez, I thought I told you to at least change out of your clothes to sleep in."
"Shut up Shigure," Ayame said curling up more into a ball on the sheets. "I head hurts like a mother, leave me alone."
Shigure shook his head. "I can't do that. Come on Aya, get up already. I don't know when Yuki's going to get home, but I do know he won't like it that you slept in his bed." Shigure reached down and grabbed Ayame's arm. He pulled him out of his ball and he laid flat on the bed. Ayame struggled and pulled Shigure down on him. "Aya you can't do this right now. Yuki might be home in a little bit."
"I don't care Shigure." Aya looked up at him. His golden eyes glistening from the sleep as his silver hair engulfed the pillow under his head. He pulled Shigure closer. "Shigure…."
"Yes Ayame."
"Shigure…." He grabbed a hold of Shigure's waist and snuggled his head on his chest. "Please…let me sleep a little longer."
"Aya, you got to be kidding me." Shigure just hovered over his younger brother, who was attached to his body, feeling the faint sound of his breath as if he was going to sleep. "I guess it'll be okay. For now." Shigure carefully rolled over on his back with Aya still attached, now sleeping in a more comfortable position on his brother.
!#&()!#&()
"NO!" Yuki screamed as his head was being held down by a man stronger than him. Yuki struggled against the man, trying to get free of his grasp. He knew what was going to happen; it wasn't the first time any of this happened. But Yuki hated it. He didn't like when it happened to him, it wanted it to stop. "Please…" Yuki begged with tears in his eyes. "Let me go…please…just let me go."
"And why would we do that?" the man asked in a sly voice. Yuki could tell the man was having fun in the situation and the other man, who Yuki could feel was right behind him, was having even more fun.
"Yuki dear," the other voice called. The words sliced through Yuki's body like a knife. The words were cold and knowing. The man was very slender, and wasn't scared of anything. He didn't care if he was hurting anyone, as long as it was his way and he was having fun. Pain was his fun. And Yuki was his play toy in this game of pain. "Now Yuki, it's what day?"
Yuki swallowed hard. "It's Thursday." His voice was weak, but not shaky.
"And what do we do on Thursday Yuki?" Yuki kept silent, he didn't want to say. The slender man pushed closer to Yuki and reach up his back and grabbed his hair, pulling it back against the man who was holding Yuki down. Yuki's eyes were watering with fear. "Now, tell me. I know you want to."
Yuki choked through his tears. "Thursdays are the days you punish me for not being good enough on Tuesdays."
"That's right. And even though you were very obedient on Tuesday you still bit me, so I'm going to show you what happens when you bite people trying to tame you."
The man holding down Yuki's head started to laugh and then grabbed Yuki's arms and held them down as well. The slender man, still pressed up against Yuki, let go of his hair and slid his fingers down Yuki's clothed back. When he got to the seam he pulled it up, revealing the creamy smooth back of the detained boy. The man took his fingernail and scratched it across the smooth surface, making Yuki hiss under the pain. The man pushed himself even closer to Yuki's backside and Yuki could feel the hard on of the other man, he knew what the plan was. He knew he couldn't get away. He knew he was stuck there.
The man brought his hands to the pant buckle of Yuki and started to undo it. Yuki just closed his eyes and bit his lip, trying to get away from this place in his mind. He pulled the pants off of Yuki leaving everything below his waist completely unclothed. The man then reached for Yuki's member, grabbing a hold of it really hard, making Yuki voice his pain. He grabbed Yuki's member at the base, then with his other hand grabbed Yuki around the waist to hold him. Yuki balled his fists, knowing the pain that was to happen next. Without any warning at all the man plunged his own member into Yuki's entrance. No lotion, no easing it loose with the help of fingers, he just entered Yuki.
Yuki screamed at the top of his lungs. Tears didn't stop rolling down his cheeks. "Remember," the man said into his ear, "this is me." He thrusted into Yuki. "And you can never leave me."
"Yuki," Kyo called shaking the smaller man beside him. "Yuki…Yuki!" At the sound of his voice Yuki's eyes shot open, searching his surroundings. He breathing was heavy and he was subconsciously clinging to Kyo. "Are you okay?" Yuki looked up at Kyo. At the sight of him a sense of ease fell into Yuki's heart.
"Yeah, I was just having a dream," Yuki said. Yeah…more like a really bad nightmare!
"Well, I thought it was a nightmare the way you were shaking and moaning in your sleep," Kyo said pulling Yuki closer to him. "If there's something's that bothering you Yuki, I hope you would tell me about it."
Yuki looked up at Kyo and thought, maybe now was the time to tell Kyo about his past. "Yeah, Kyo, I do want to talk to you about it. Maybe it'll explain a lot of what's going on right now with why my brothers are here and everything else."
Kyo knew this was serious. "And I'm here to listen to you Yuki. You can tell me anything."
"I know, and I'm glad," Yuki said. He sat up in the bed, the covers falling down to drape around his waist. "In my old town I—"
"RINGRINGRING!!" screamed the phone on the nightstand.
Kyo almost jumped at the sound. "Sorry, Yuki. It'll only take a minute." He sat up in bed and turned to pick up the phone. "Hello? Oh, hey. Why'd you call so early?" Kyo slung his legs over one side of the bed with his back to Yuki.
Yuki didn't listen to their conversation. He just studied Kyo's back while he talked the caller. He back was bare, sleep pants were the only thing on. He was extremely tan and his back was very toned. Then Yuki wondered why Kyo was shirtless, then he realized he was shirtless too. He started to search he memory only to remember that he had fallen asleep when everything was getting really good and he was really gong to trust Kyo with him. Stupid Stupid! How could I do that, just when I was going to give it up to him? How could I? Yuki mentally slapped himself, thinking of ways to make it up to Kyo. BINK! And idea popped into his head.
Yuki waited until good byes were said on the phone and then crept up to Kyo's back and slid his arms over Kyo's shoulders touching and rubbing on his chest. He dipped his head onto Kyo's neck and kissed him lightly.
"Yuki, what are you doing?" Kyo asked. "I thought you were going to tell me about your past."
"Don't ruin the mood Kyo, please?" Yuki pleaded. "I remembered that I did something unforgivable last night and I want to make it up to you right now." Yuki continued to rub up and down on Kyo's chest, teasing his nipples with one hand as his other lightly caressed his body. He pushed his back closer to Kyo's, feeling the heat of the bigger man on his front. Yuki's kisses turned into nibbles and sucking.
"Yuki…" Kyo moaned slightly, "do you really want to do this now?"
Yuki did not answer, just pressed himself more so into Kyo's back.
"Yuki…you have no idea what you're getting yourself into."
Yuki didn't care at all. With his one free hand Yuki reached down below Kyo's waist and started to play with his member through his pants. Yuki felt Kyo arch into his body meaning he really liked it. He was really glad Kyo was enjoying it and he slowly slipped his hand into the other man's pants, touching his member. Kyo moaned and Yuki turned his head to face him and kissed him, tongue and all. Kyo moaned even louder and Yuki started to pump him.
"Shit," Kyo said as he felt himself about to cum.
"It's okay Kyo, I wanted to do this to you," Yuki said as he claimed Kyo's mouth once again. Kyo's body jerked and he felt himself climax, letting himself spill out into the other man's hand. He retrieved his hand from the man's pants and licked his hand. "I kinda did want to suck you off but in the name of situation I thought this would be okay." His kissed Kyo again. "I know it doesn't totally make up for last night, but was it okay? I know that I haven't done much for you since we started going out, so I wanted to do something."
Kyo caught his breath. "Don't worry Yuki, it was good." He turned and kissed Yuki, then slowly pushed him down on the bed. When he released Yuki's lips Yuki reached down and started to pull at Kyo's pants. Kyo, a bit surprised, just stared at Yuki and then grabbed his hands away from his pants. Yuki looked up at Kyo, a surprised look on his face. "You're acting very strange this morning, being so forceful and everything."
"You don't like it?" Yuki asked him, giving Kyo the worried look.
"No, it was really good and I really liked it but I just have this feeling that there's something on your mind and you're not telling me it." Kyo hovered over Yuki and stared into his eyes.
All Yuki could do was stare back but then look away. I know Kyo. I want to tell you so bad it hurts. And I was willing to tell you awhile ago, but now I'm scared of what you'll think. I don't want pity from you, I just want to get it off my chest and tell you. Yuki looked back up at Kyo. His eyes hadn't moved; not even flinching. Right now, I guess, would be a better time than some. Yuki swallowed the lump in his throat and then opened his mouth. "K—"
"But if you don't want to tell me now I can wait Yuki," Kyo said leaning back on the bed as he got off of Yuki. "I know you have a past that was probably hard, I don't know how hard it was but if you ever want to tell me about I will listen. And I was hoping you would listen to my past relationships too."
Yuki felt shocked. Why does he want to talk about this now, just when I was willing to go all the way with him? I know I wanted to tell him, but I changed my mind. Now he wants to talk? I don't know if I can handle this.
"I don't know why but for some reason I don't want to keep it a secret from you. I believe you have a right to know about my past and then maybe you'll fell more open to tell me about yours." Yuki was a little shocked, but decided not to say anything against it. He sat quietly on the bed to listen to Kyo. "Well, you know how Haru and I have known each other for a long time?" Yuki nodded. "Well, I knew I was bi in high school and then one day, near the end of senior year, Haru came out and told me he was gay. He already knew I was bi so he trusted me more with it. I thought he was just going to tell me to get it off his chest but then he surprised the hell out of me by say he liked me, a lot. It shocked me more than I thought, and then to top it all off he kissed me at that time too. I could feel his body shaking badly as he held onto me so I knew I couldn't force him away. So, I did what all good friends would do, well at least what I did. I kissed him back and embraced him. Then, we started going out. Haru and I dated for several years and it was just last year that we broke up."
Yuki kept his intent face looking at Kyo. For some reason something in his heart cracked and pained him. He didn't know why, but all at once all thoughts of the times that Yuki saw Haru and Kyo together flowed back into his mind. He remembered the times they acted so close they could've been lovers at that time. "So, how far did you guys go?"
Kyo was a little embarrassed to answer this question. He took his eyes to the ground, though he didn't know why he felt so bad tell Yuki that he did sleep with Haru, several times. At the time he didn't even know Yuki, and Haru and he were going out all the same. "We did sleep together, a few times."
"I see," Yuki answered. He knew that they had, anyone could've guessed that. But to know that someone had touched Kyo besides him just made him furious. Then he realized, he had no reason to be mad at him. "It's fine though. I mean, you and Haru were going out. It's only natural that you slept with him." Kyo looked stunned that Yuki was taking this so well. "Hell, even I slept with my last boyfriend. I'm not mad; I'm not going to treat you differently. I'm just glad you told me about it, even though it may hurt a little."
Kyo looked at Yuki and smiled warmly at him, then reached over and kissed him. "I'm glad it didn't hurt you."
"Well, I think I want to tell you my past now," Yuki said. Kyo nodded and sat up straighter to listen to Yuki explain his past. "When I was growing up in my hometown I lived with my brothers in a kind of secluded house in the woods in the town. Well, once there was a traveler who came through. He had apparently fell down a hill and hurt his leg pretty bad. We took him in a took care of him and then after he felt well enough to walk he left and went home. About two weeks after that I was shopping for dinner and bumped into him in the store. We started talking and hanging out for awhile and became pretty close friends. Well, everything was going good until one night that he asked me to come over to his place."
"Come on in Yuki."
"Thanks for having me over. I was hoping to get out of the house. I don't think I could stand another one of Shigure's meals."
"Oh, it's perfectly fine. I'm happy you were able to come over. I've wanted to talk to you about something for awhile."
"What is it?" Yuki asked looking up at his friend.
"After dinner," the young man said. "Please let's have something to eat first."
Yuki nodded heavily and walked to the table to his seat where he had sat before when they would get together at his house. "It looks delicious. Is it salmon?"
"Yes, my specialty of course. Only the best for you Yuki."
Yuki smiled warmly and started eating the food that was prepared for him. Both of them talked for hours at the table and then it came time to go to sleep after the dishes. Yuki sat down on the sofa and waited for the other man to finish up in the kitchen. Tea was presented in front of Yuki as the he returned. "Thanks," Yuki said taking the cup. "Now, what was it that you wanted to talk about after dinner?"
"Oh yes, I have something I want to get off my chest." The other man looked Yuki dead in the eye and spoke clearly. "Yuki, I really like you. I liked you ever since you first helped my at your house, but I wanted to make sure it was real, then when I saw you at the Super Mart I knew for a fact it had to be you. I wanted you to come here to ask you if you'd be my boyfriend."
Yuki didn't break the stare of the other man's sharp, dark eyes. "Are you sure that you want me as a boyfriend? I mean, we barely know each other and now you want to go out?"
"Yes Yuki. I love you."
Those words hit Yuki's heart like a dagger. No one had ever spoke those words so casually to him, like they were nothing. "Well, I guess I could give it a shot. I've never been with a guy before, so it'll be a new experience."
The other man just smiled, stood, and walked over to Yuki. He straddled Yuki's legs and then kissed him deeply as he wrapped his arms around Yuki. Yuki was a little surprised but he didn't push him away. He just opened his mouth wider for the other man. Then Yuki felt friction in his pants. The young man started rubbing Yuki through his pants, grinding their hips together. Yuki could feel himself getting erect and let a moan pass through his lips into the other man's mouth. As all this went on the other man ran his finger up Yuki's front, caressing his torso as he pushed Yuki down on the couch. He didn't break the friction and kept rubbing and moaning. Even without any actual touching Yuki could feel himself about to cum. He started to moan loader and loader until the moment of release finally came. He gripped the other man's shirt hard in his fist as he cried out before he came. "Ah…aah…oh…A…Akito!"
"And that's how we became a couple. It didn't hit me until afterwards to think it was a little fast to be moving that quickly," Yuki said after he got done explaining his story.
Kyo just sat there, mouth agape. He couldn't believe Yuki had gone into details about their first time together. Kyo knew his face was red from the talk, but he couldn't back down now. "Well, it does seem a little fast, but what made you two break up?"
Yuki's eyes found the ground as he thought over his words in his head. His mind went back to his sudden wake up this morning. "Well, it's a little complicated."
Kyo reached out and grabbed Yuki's hand. "What ever it is, you don't have to push yourself to tell me, but if you want I'm here to listen."
Amethyst eyes met crimson as Yuki decided that enough was enough, that Kyo should know of his past. "Well, Akito and I dated for 2 months after that. Everything was fine during those months, but after that things took a really bad turn." Yuki swung his legs over the side of the bed and put his head in his hands, elbows on his knees.
Kyo rubbed Yuki's back slightly as he sat next to him on the side of the bed. "It's alright, just let it out slowly," Kyo whispered into Yuki's ear.
Yuki nodded as he tried to steady his words. "Akito started to hang out with these really strange guys who were into and underground business. I didn't find out till later that it was a prostitute smuggling business. Akito's new friends were very brutal in everything they did. I ended up hanging out with them one night, and the whole night I felt uneasy. We went to a bar deep in the back alley ways of the city I use to live in. It was a rough bar, fights were going on all night and then they started talking about their "business" and wanted Akito to join them. I started feeling sick and wanted to leave, and begged Akito to leave with me but he just brushed me off. While walking home that night I was confronted by some guys. I noticed them from the bar, but I couldn't fight them off. They knocked me out and took me somewhere, an abandoned warehouse or something like that. When I woke up I was bound at my waist and feet in a chair. Five guys were standing in front of me; Akito was amongst those five guys. When I called out to him he seemed concerned and asked them to let me go, but then they gave the speech of if he wanted to be with them he had to do something that could show them he was the boss of the relationship. If not, I would be sold into their smuggling ring."
"Holy shit! What did he do?" Kyo asked intensively.
"He decided to show them. The perverts just sat there and watched. I was so embarrassed to have people see me in that state. And it wasn't like I just wanted to sit there and take it, but I was bound so I couldn't move from my chair. After it was finally over Akito took me home. I thought that would be the end of the roughness, but I was wrong. Something inside Akito snapped when he was rough with me; like he enjoyed it more than the other times I was with him. It hurt me, a lot. Soon Akito stopped hanging around those guys, but the abuse didn't stop. He turned it into a game giving me play days. I was so exhausted during the day I had to quit my job and my mind was pretty fucked up too. When I would try to back talk him he would just abuse me more. I would come home with bruises all over my body, especially on my neck and wrists. Ayame and Shigure started to worry for me and told me to get out of the relationship, but I dismissed them. When Akito got even more abusive, he brought in other people, almost like gang-bangs. That's when I knew I definitely had to get out of there, but Akito wouldn't let me go. When I tried to leave him the first time it was a light beating, but more sexual abuse. Then the second time I was beat so bad I ended up hospitalized. The police finally got involved and I put a restraining order on him. If I put him directly in jail his lackeys would definitely come after me." He turned to Kyo after telling his past history. "That's why I moved here. To get away from him."
Kyo was almost speechless. "When did all this happen?"
"From when I was a late 19-year-old to when I was 21, near my 22nd birthday. I had tried living with my brothers, but we realized it wasn't enough. That's why I moved out here," Yuki answered.
"Did he really stay away from you when you were still at your old house?" Kyo asked.
"No, I had to jump around hotels and other people's houses who knew what was going on, but it was costing too much money. Then I decided to move out here because I loved the place and it's pretty far away from my problems."
Kyo felt the sudden urge to embrace him, make Yuki feel loved and respected. God knows that Akito guy didn't. Kyo wrapped his arms around Yuki and pulled him close to him. "It's alright Yuki. That guy's gone now, you got me now so don't worry. And I won't force you to do anything you wouldn't want to do."
Yuki nodded and dug his head into Yuki's bare chest. He just didn't want the sympathy, Yuki just wanted to make sure he was safe. Sure enough, he felt he was. "I just want to get this weight off me. Apparently Akito is trying to find me again. That's why Ayame and Shigure are here. Akito is getting closer." Kyo lay back as he held onto Yuki tighter. They rested there for a while longer. They just weren't quite ready to greet the day yet.
!#&()!#&()
RINGRING!! yelled the phone.
"Aya, can you get the phone?" Shigure yelled from downstairs. "I'm busy with the laundry!"
"Fine," Ayame said getting up from the sofa-bed he was lounging on while watching TV. He dragged himself toward the phone and answered. "Hello?"
"Hello? Yuki?" said a familiar voice, but Ayame couldn't place it at first.
"Sorry, Yuki isn't here at the moment. Can I take a message?" He grabbed the pad and pen on the counter, ready to write down anything the caller had to say.
"Wait a second. Is this Ayame?"
Ayame almost dropped the phone. "Who is this? Are you a stalker? If you are I'll call the police and…you can't have Yuki you monster!"
"Aya, please calm down. It's me, Hatori," the caller said.
"Ha'ri? Really? I thought the voice sounded familiar!" Ayame took the phone back to his sofa-bed and laid down on it. "So, what did you call Yuki for?"
"I was just updating him on the Akito situation," Hatori answered. "I know he doesn't like to hear about them, but with the scare of having him actually find him out there, I just wanted to let him know that he's still here in town yet."
"Is there any reason to think that Akito might actually find him out here?" Ayame asked sitting up on the sofa.
"Slight, but nothing to alarming. I see no reason as to why Akito would want to venture out there in the first place. There's really no reason, so he should be safe," Hatori made clear.
"Ah, that's a relief," Ayame said. "I'm sure Yuki will love that news when he gets back."
"By the way, where is Yuki?"
"Oh, well it seems that he forgot his keys at the bar we all drank at last night and stayed over at a friend's house."
"Glad to hear that he's getting along out there by himself." Then there was a long pause. Ayame thought Hatori might have hung up. "Ayame, is Shigure there with you?"
"Yes, Ha'ri why do ask?" Ayame answered.
"Why are you guys there anyway? Don't tell me you guys are pestering him," Hatori told him in a very stern voice.
"Oh, of course not. Yuki welcomed us with open arms when we arrived," Ayame said using his high voice and laughing.
"Both of you need to come home now and leave Yuki to his own life," Hatori said angrily. "You know how much he's wanted this."
"Yes Ha'ri, both Shigure and I know that Yuki wants to live his own life, but I've seriously been feeling some uneasy. Like something bad is going to happen. That's why I forced Shigure to come see Yuki."
"Ayame, I know how you're feeling, but you have to put those feelings aside and let this work out on its own. So why don't you and Shigure come home and see how this all works out. The way you say, Yuki has made friends that can help him through this time, so let it be okay?"
Ayame thought it over. "I know, I know Ha'ri. I'll talk to Shigure. We'll probably leave tomorrow."
"Good, because I know Mimi is missing you and the shop is getting some new customers that need your touch."
Ayame lit up at the thought of people needing him. "Of course, I can't leave my adoring public waiting for me. I'll see you later Ha'ri. Ta-ta."
"Alright, good-bye," Hatori said hanging up first.
Shigure came up the stairs as Ayame was putting the phone back on its charger. "Who was that?" he asked.
"Just Ha'ri," Ayame answered.
"Why didn't you tell me? I would've liked to talk to Ha'ri."
"Well, he basically told us to leave Yuki alone to see how this living alone thing works out for him. And I think he's right. So, what do you think?"
"Well, you forced me along, so if you wanna leave I'll drive you home."
"Aww, Shigure," Ayame said hugging him. "I thought there was a reason I liked you."
"But, I didn't say anything."
"It doesn't matter. At least you're here for me."
"Isn't that what brothers are for?" Shigure asked sitting down on one of the couches in the living room. "How long, do you think, till Yuki will return home?"
"I'm not sure, but I'm sure he may want to sleep in today with the night he had last night." Ayame sat down next to his brother, folding his arms across his chest. "Do you think Yuki is still worried about Akito?"
Shigure's face stiffened at the name of the hated man that caused their whole family pain. His eyes narrowed at the thought of him ever being with Yuki. "I'm sure Yuki is trying to forget, but I'm not sure he ever will. I just hope that he can get help from his friends here to push Akito out of his mind enough to ease the pain."
Ayame let a small smile fall across his lips as he patted his brother's knee in a reassuring way. Shigure looked up at his younger brother and smiled. He brought his arm around Ayame's shoulders and pulled him in tight. Ayame nuzzled up to Shigure's neck. Both of them awaiting Yuki's return home.

"…We're sorry, but the person you have dialed is not available. If you would like to leave a message—" Haru snapped his phone shut and shoved it into his pocket. "Well, guess he's busy with Kyo right now." Haru sat on at his kitchen table, an open Coors can in front of him. It was now afternoon and Haru was trying to get a hold of Yuki and Kyo to see if they wanted to go drinking tonight. But as of the moment, neither of them was picking up their cell phones.
Running his hand through his short black and white hair a sigh escaped his lips. He hated to admit, but with Yuki and Kyo getting together, he felt a little lonely. He grasped the Coors can and ran his fingers up and down the sides of the cold, silver can before taking a drink of it. As he set his can down his cell phone started ringing. As he glanced at the number on the ID, he barely recognized it. Not thinking much of it he flipped open the top and answered it. "Hello?" His eyes widened as he heard the voice. "Well, well, long time no see." The other person laughed and agreed.
Haru grabbed his can and walked into the living room and sitting down on the couch as he set his can down on the side table. "I never thought that the guy that just up and left me would ever call me again. How long has it been?" As he listened and kept up the conversation with the other person, Haru couldn't help but feel a pain in his chest as if someone had ripped open an old scar.
"So, why did you call all of a sudden?" Haru couldn't help but think there was alternative motive for this call.
"Actually there is Haru," the caller said. "I'm going on a trip to the Ozarks and was wondering if we could meet up for a drink and maybe you could show me around?"
Haru shook his head. This guy sounded so desperate and Haru started to feel bad for him. Even through that's how this whole mess with him started. He let out a light sigh and then agreed. "Sure, I don't mind. When are you getting into town?"
"Great! I'm getting there tomorrow. Where should I meet you?"
"I'll meet you at Dog Town on the strip, around noonish. Do you know where that is?"
"I believe so. Thanks Haru, maybe I'll reward you for your help later in the day."
"I really could care less. I'll see you tomorrow." Haru felt his chest flinch with pain at the comment the caller added.
"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow Haru."
"See you, Akito." Click.
Alrighty then, Chapter 10 is FINISHED!! I know it's been WAY, WAY, WAY too long since my last update but now that I'm out of school I don't have internet to update when I finally get a chapter finished…so I'm sorry about that.
And I'm apologizing now. I'm entering college in August and I'm not sure how much time I'll have to devote to writing this story, but with you guys still backing me up I'll finally get it done. It's almost done anyway since the climax is here. I hope you guys liked this chapter, even though it wasn't very good and there was a lot of information jammed into it.
Hope you guys haven't missed this story too terribly, but the next chapter should be the encounter, and I can't wait to write that up. Also, I hope I didn't make Yuki's life too miserable. What I have is actually tame from what I first initially thought, but I hope this worked out in favor of the story.
Manga update - books as of today. Lots of money involved I realized…sometimes I wonder just how much money I've spent on those books. Oh well, I won't be getting a lot since college is in a few months…funfun!
Well, you guys know the drill…5 or more reviews or no Ch. 11….but I know that'll be no problem.
