As you can see, I'm updating this story quickly (trying to at least). I'm trying to finish it so that I can focus on my other fanfics. I'm going to admit that I'm really attached to this story as it's more personal, so when I finish it, I'm going to be sad.
I promise it will have a happy ending…well, we'll see. Maybe I shouldn't have said that. No I have you all worried.
Anyway, let's keep this moving.
I DO NOT OWN JUNJO ROMANTICA!
Chapter Eleven
(Flashback to Sumi and Hiroki when they went to search for Misaki )
(Hiroki's P.O.V.)
"Hey kid, keep up will you," I scolded. Why did I bring this kid along? All he's doing is talking on the phone, smiling away. What the hell is he happy about?
"Sorry Sensei. Just talking to a friend. I told him about our little search party so he agreed to meet us at the park. I believe he's there, already looking."
"How is he looking for him when he doesn't even know what he looks like?"
"Oh, he knows who Misaki is. Believe me." He then picked up his pace and walked faster towards the park. I had to slightly run to catch up to him.
I wonder who his friend is. Is he in my class?
(Sumi's P.O.V.)
Stupid Misaki. He has no idea what's in store for him. This plan couldn't have worked out more perfectly. Akihiko's brother can take Misaki away while I can be with Akihiko. I deserve to be with him. I mean, what's so special about that kid anyway. All he does is sleep in class and is so clumsy and dumb. I can do so much more. Be so much more. I'll make sure to make Usami Akihiko fall in love with me. I'll make him see that I can do things that Misaki never could.
(Hiroki's P.O.V.)
When we arrived, I told the brat that it was best to split up and search. If neither of us found him, then we would return to this spot and look elsewhere. He didn't object and quickly left. Of course it was annoying as it was raining, making it hard for me to see. I knew I was going to catch a cold too, but I guess I'm lucky to have a boyfriend who's a doctor.
Damn, I could feel my face heating up just from thinking about Nowaki.
I shook my head, trying to get that image of that giant idiot out of my mind.
As I continued to look in the park, the rain started to come down a little harder. Although I was frustrated because I was out here, I promised Akihiko I'd try to find him. For some reason I can't say no to that bakahiko.
"Takahashi!" I figured yelling would get someone's attention. I got nothing. "Takahashi!" I yelled once more. I sighed angrily.
Where is that kid? It looks deserted here. Of course! It's freaking pouring out here!
After walking for some time, I decided to head back to our original place of departure. While I thought about other places Takahashi could be, I saw a black limo out on the corner near the park entrance.
That car looks suspicious. Why is a limo out front?...Wait. No, it can't be.
Suddenly I spotted Keiichi with Takahashi. Holy shit! He found him! It's about time!...Stupid brat. I can't wait to yell at him for making everyone worry. As I picked up my pace to greet them, I saw Akihiko's brother.
Oh no. Within a few seconds, I watched as Takahashi was being dragged by Haruhiko. Keiichi just waved at them.
"That man, Haruhiko, forced himself on Misaki. He didn't rape him, thank god, but Misaki said it felt like he was going to."
That's what Nowaki said.
Just then I heard Takahashi call for me.
"Help Sensei!"
Damn! Why did I just freeze like that?
I started running, hoping to catch up to him but it was too late. He was gone.
(End of flashback)
(Sumi's P.O.V)
Excellent! Misaki is finally taken out of the picture. I can finally be with my Akihiko.
I turned around, finding a pissed off professor. I wasn't prepared for what happened next.
He punched me.
I landed on the ground, hitting my backside.
Damn. That hurt.
"You idiot!" He yelled. "What the hell were you thinking? Why didn't you stop him?"
I took my time getting up, spitting out some blood that filled my mouth. I glanced at him and he looked like he wanted to punch me again.
"You're the stupid one," I replied, "how dare you hit me, a student nonetheless. You can go to jail." His eyes widen. Surely he didn't think of that and I smiled. But then his eyes narrowed, and he started walking up to me.
"I don't give a shit about what happens to me. You let one of my students be taken by that guy. He's dangerous! He's going to hurt him!"
"What are you talking about? He isn't going to hurt Misaki."
"How do you know that? You don't even know him!"
"Listen, our plan was to separate him and Usami Akihiko. He said he was going to take Misaki back to his brother's, telling him that Akihiko didn't want him living with him anymore."
"And you actually believed him! Are you dense?" His body shook with fury. This is the angriest I've ever seen him.
"I don't see what the big deal is. It's not like the guy is going to harm Misaki."
"He will. He's done it already and he'll do it again."
"What are you implying? What has he done?"
"He—oh never mind. Why am I even explaining myself to you?"
With that he turned around and left.
Ok. What exactly did I miss?
(Hiroki's P.O.V)
God, I can just murder that kid! What the hell am I suppose to do now? What am I supposed to say to Akihiko? Just then my phone started to ring. I looked at the caller ID and saw it was him.
Shit…
"Hey Akihiko." I tried to hide my shaken voice but that was impossible.
"Hiroki, did you find him? I'm having no luck on my end."
"Um, well…."
"It's a simple 'yes' or 'no'."
"…I did."
"Really? Where is he?" He sounded so relieved.
"Akihiko, I'm sorry….I tried."
"What do you mean 'I tried'. Where the hell is he Hiroki? Did something bad happen to him?"
"No…well yeah. I don't know! Takahashi….your brother has him."
"…"
"Akihiko, you still there?"
"Did you see him being taken by my brother?"
"Y-Yes. I saw him drag Takahashi to his limo."
"Why the hell didn't you do anything? You just stood and watched?"
I flinched. He's never yelled at me like this before. Sure we've had arguments, but nothing like this. I was actually afraid of him right now.
"I-I'm sorry Akihiko. I tried. I ran and—"
"You didn't try hard enough," he said coldly and disconnected the call. I glanced at my phone and I felt…shattered. It was weird. For the first time ever, I felt like I truly lost him for good.
Gripping my phone tightly in my hands, I shoved the phone back in my pocket. I looked behind me and saw that Keiichi was gone.
At the moment I didn't know what to do. The kid was gone and Akihiko was furious with me. I felt like throwing stuff.
I guess I should head home. I'd better hurry and catch the train before it leaves. I'm just too tired to walk. I was glad that the rain finally stopped. Even though it was still cloudy, it was better than being walking in the rain.
(Usagi-san's P.O.V.)
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!
I started pounding on the steering wheel. Cars honked at me as I didn't move when the light turned green. I hit the gas pedal and swerved in to the nearest parking spot I could find. I needed to clear my head.
This can't be happening. Haruhiko, why are you doing this? You cannot hurt my Misaki. Don't you dare hurt him!
For once, I felt powerless. I know that I can go to the estate and maybe find Misaki there, but I didn't want to risk that. By the time I'd find him, my brother could've probably rap—
No! I will not allow for my mind to go there. My brother is many things but he isn't that kind of person. I hate him with everything I have, but he couldn't possibly go that far to hurt me. There's no way. Besides, I'm probably over reacting. I don't know for sure if my brother had hurt Misaki. He claims that he's going to steal him away, but I know for a fact that he wouldn't hurt him.
As I continued to ponder this, I yelled loudly in my car. I was so angry! I knew that sitting here was not helping the situation at all. So I put the car in to drive again and started racing down the roads. I had no choice but to go to the estate. I just hoped that I would find them. I hoped with everything in me that Misaki was there and alright.
I can't lose him. I just can't. Maybe….
I started dialing Misaki"s phone number. If he can just answer and let me know where he is, I can try to catch up to them and I don't have to waste time driving out to the estate.
(Misaki's P.O.V.)
I could feel my body shaking as I saw sensei getting smaller and smaller as our distance grew farther apart. Usagi-ani had finally released me and I scurried away from him, hitting my back against the car door.
"Misaki, please relax. I'm not going to hurt you." He spoke to me in a soft, low voice. A tone I've never heard him use before.
A minute or so passed before I had finally calmed down. He sighed sadly, while all I could do was look like a scared puppy.
"Misaki-kun, why are you acting like this?"
I turned and was shocked to find Usagi-chichi.
What's going on? How did I miss him sitting across from me?
"You're that surprised to see me? It hasn't been that longs since we've bumped into each other, has it?"He laughed as if what just happened didn't look suspicious at all.
"What….tell me what's going on." I asked. "Why did you both drag me here?"
"Well you see, there was a meeting I had to attend and my son was nice enough to let me ride with him. I was actually on my way to another meeting when he had asked the driver to make a quick stop at the park. I didn't know why until I saw you. It was actually good timing. I've been meaning to stop by Akihiko's to talk to you, but no need to now. You're here. How wonderful is that?"
I gulped. I held both my arms close to my chest. Not only was I here with Usagi-ani, but with Usagi-chichi. I felt like I was in hell.
"What's wrong Misaki-kun? You don't look so good."
"A-Are you going to t-take me back to Usagi-san's? I'm sure he's w-worried about m-me."
"Well, I don't know if that's a good idea. This is why I wanted to speak with you."
He slid across his seat and sat next to me. That only made my heart beat faster. It felt like it was going to fly out my chest at any moment.
"Misaki-kun," he started, "tell me. What's it like living with Akihiko?"
"L-Living with him? It's fine. We get along just fine."
Suddenly I started having flashbacks of when I would make meals for the both of us. Of when he would work on his manuscripts and I would read my manga. And then there's him taking advantage of me and doing things to me.
I could feel my face heat up. I missed his touch.
"The reason I ask is because I know my son. He's always isolated himself from others so that he wouldn't be bothered too much. He's always been like that ever since he was a kid. Yet here you are, living with him."
"Well, I'm just living there because of my brother. He's actually very kind to me. He's always looking after me."
"Is that so? Well I'm happy to hear he's making new friends. But, as you probably know, I'm not happy how things look between you two."
"What do you mean?" I watched as he sighed, his brows furrowing as he narrowed his eyes.
"Don't pretend that you don't know. Having a teenage boy live with him looks kind of sketchy, don't you think? He has a reputation to protect and I don't want to see him get beaten down by the press. Also, with Akihiko being the way he is, I don't want to see my son get hurt. Under all that anger and 'armor' of his, he's fragile. I should know since I'm his father."
"Fuyuhiko-san, I would never hurt him. I…care for him." I looked down at my lap so he wouldn't see my blush.
"Yes I know you do, but I don't approve," he said straightforward. "I don't want you living with him anymore Misaki-kun. If something were to happen to my son, I would hold you responsible."
He patted my shoulder, with a little weight on it, right when the car stopped. When the driver had opened the door, Usagi-chichi stepped out.
"Think about what I said. I really think you should look over your relationship with my son and see whether you are truly the right person for him to be with. He doesn't see it, but you're a burden to him."
A burden…I'm a burden to Usagi-san I thought. It hurt very much for him to say that to me.
"Well I'm off to another meeting. Maybe we'll see each other again. Perhaps soon. Just to see how things turn out." He smiled. "Oh son, will you make sure Misaki gets home safely? And if you see your brother, tell him I said hello."
He waved goodbye and the door was shut behind him.
"Yeah right. Like I would say even one word to that stupid brother of mine. And who says I'm heading in that direction anyway."He then turned his gaze on me.
Idiot me! Instead of just sitting here in the car, I could've tried to escape. So I did. Well, I attempted to leave. With my hand on the handle, I was ready to push open the door, but I didn't get very far as I pulled, yet again, by Usagi-ani.
"Let me go!"
I struggled again but no luck.
"Misaki, we didn't get to finish what we had started earlier."
My eyes grew wide. Flashes of what happened between us flooded my mind.
"N-No! Please Haruhiko-san!"
"Misaki, I love you so much." It sounded so wrong when he would say 'I love you'. It was nothing compared to how Usagi-san would say it.
The car started moving again. I could feel my chest tighten as he forced to turn me over in my seat. With final attempts, he managed to climb on top of me. He started kissing me down my neck.
"Misaki, why won't you love me back?" He said between kisses, "I'm so much better than Akihiko. I could offer you so much more. You should consider my offer."
"I don't want this! Please—"
"But you heard my father. Living with that brother of mine will only stir trouble, not that I care about his reputation. But instead of you having to deal with that mess, you can stay with me. My father doesn't need to know. How about it?"
Just as I was about to yell no again, he caught my mouth, forcing his tongue inside. It was disgusting. He had my arms pinned above my head with one of his, while the other slid under my shirt.
"Love me," he said. Then he started to rub on my chest. I started to cry.
Usagi-san, please find me. I want you to find me before—
Just then the phone started to vibrate in my pocket. Both of us kind of zoned out when the buzzing continued. Haruhiko-san took his hand from under my shirt, thank god, and took my phone out of my pocket. He glanced at the caller ID and narrowed his eyes. He flipped it open. He hit what sounded like the 'end' button, shutting it closed, and threw it across the seat.
"Who was it? Was it Usagi-san?" I continued to struggle against his hold on me.
He didn't answer as he placed his hand under my shirt again.
Just then, without realizing it, I heard the button of my pants snap open. My eyes widen as he slid his hand further down my torso.
"Haruhiko-san, s-stop it. You don't know what you're d-doing!"
"But I want you."
"This is not the way," I yelled, "why won't you listen to me? I don't want you!"
He started fumbling with his pants, unbuckling it. Pulling my pants down, and his, I could feel his erection, rubbing against my thighs and manhood. My body shook violently. He was doing this. He was really doing this.
(Usagi-san's P.O.V)
What the hell? Why did Misaki hang up on me? Unless…it wasn't him. Damn it. It had to be my brother.
I threw the phone on the passenger seat and continue to speed down the roads. I was almost at the estate. If he wasn't there then I don't know what else to do. I wouldn't have a clue where he could be. I knew that if I didn't find him soon, something bad was going to happen. I will not allow it!
(Misaki's P.O.V.)
"Just relax. You'll like it, I promise." He continued.
"N-No! D-Driver, please help me!"
If it was the same driver from before, I know he would help me. I had to believe he would.
"Sorry Misaki. He's my other driver. He won't be disturbing us."
N-No! I will not allow this to happen! Think! What can you do to distract him?...oh wait!
"You had asked me before," I started, "why I was taking anti-depressants, remember?" That seemed to get his attention. Even though his weight was crushing me, making it harder for me to breathe, I continued. "The reason was because you were making my life miserable." His eyes slightly widen. Good. He' s listening. "I had no choice but to take those pills because everyone, including you, wouldn't leave me alone!" I yelled. Taking the opportunity as he was in shock, I kicked him and his face scrunched up with pain. He got up and I crawled to the other side of the limo.
"I know that you're lying. I could tell that it was my brother who was making your life difficult."
"You're wrong," I whispered, "He hasn't done anything to me. It's you. It's always been you." My lips started to quiver.
"Misaki, what exactly did I do wrong? Tell me and I'll try to fix it."
I couldn't help but laugh. Was he really asking me that question?
"Haruhiko-san, didn't you see what you just did? What you were about to do…to me?"
He stood quiet.
"Hell! You were about to force yourself on me! Didn't you hear me plea for you to stop? I said no and you kept on! Tell me what you did wasn't anything to worry about!" I zipped my pants back on quickly and hugged my knees to my chest.
"I'm…sorry. I figured once I'd have you, you would change your feelings about Akihiko and be with me."
"I would never love you," I said angrily. "Stop this car and let me out."
"Just give me another chance. I promise I'll—"
"No! I want to leave!" I started tearing up, "don't make me do it…please."
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't make me do it," I said again, whispering.
"I do not understand Misaki."
I wanted so badly to show him my arms so he could shut up and let me go. Maybe if I did, he would see the pain that I was going through and he wouldn't bother me again. But that meant revealing my secret. I just couldn't do that. It's bad enough that Nowaki knows.
"Misaki," he whispered. I panicked as he was coming nearer. I looked for the closest thing that I could throw at him.
Nothing.
When he saw that I tried to look for a way out, he lunged for me when I tried to open the car door. Grabbing my foot and pulling me towards him, my hand slipped off the handle.
Using the bit of energy I had, I used my elbows and leg to push myself away from him. I managed to kick him again with my other foot, really not wanting to because I felt bad for hurting Usagi-san's brother, but I wasn't going to allow him to hurt me again. With my hand now gripping the handle firmly, I pushed open the door and jumped out. Luckily the car stopped at the light so I was able to get up on my feet and run for it. I heard my name being yelled from afar but I didn't stop. My lungs burned for oxygen but I had to keep going.
Where am I? I don't recognize this part of town.
I slowed my pace and took in my surroundings. For some reason, my eyes caught a man that was walking up the stairs of some building, an apartment building.
Wait, I do know where I am. Oh that's…Kamijou-sensei!
"S-Sensei! Kamijou-sensei!"
He turned around, looking irritated, but then his expression changed into shock.
"Takahashi? What the hell?" he then started running down the stairs rushing to greet me. "How did you get here? I saw you being taken away by Haruhiko."
"I managed to get away."
"D-Did he hurt you? He didn't try to…you know." His face turned slightly red, something I've never seen before. Thinking about it, he must've meant if he…'forced' himself on me.
"Um…n-no sensei. H-He didn't."
"Oh good…that's really good." He cleared his throat as if embarrassed.
"L-Let's go to my place and call Akihiko. He's going around the city like a mad man searching for you."
"R-Really?"
Usagi-san was out somewhere trying to find me. My heart fluttered at the thought. That meant he wasn't angry at me. At least I hope he wasn't.
"Hey Takahashi! You coming or not?"
The Devil was already a few feet away from me. I ran to catch up to him. He sighed and continued on. Finally arriving at the apartment, he told me to take my shoes off and to take a seat.
"Want anything to drink?" he asked.
"N-No thanks." I started fumbling with my sleeves. I had the sudden urge to release my pain. I could since Nowaki wasn't here. And I'd make sure to lock the door this time.
"Kamijou-sensei, may I use your bathroom?"
"What? Oh, yeah. sure." He continued on to make whatever he was making. I believe it was tea.
I got up and just before I entered the hallway, I looked at sensei once more and smiled.
Maybe he isn't a devil after all.
With that thought, I continued to the bathroom and locked the door. I sat near the tub, my legs spread out to make myself comfortable. I took my blade out and just stared at it. I guess I will never learn. As much as I'm suffering right now, I needed to let this pain go. It was destroying me.
(Hiroki's P.O.V.)
When I heard the door close, I pulled my cell phone out and called Akihiko. It took a few rings but he finally answered.
"What is it?" he said coldly. Jeez this guy is never happy.
"Bakahiko, do you always have to sound pissed off whenever I call?"
"Yeah. And just so you know, I'm not the only one who answers his calls that way. What do you want? I'm trying to Misaki."
"Shut up asshole," I sighed angrily. I wanted to hang up. "That's why I'm calling. I found him. Well, he found me. He's here at my apartment."
"What? Why didn't you say anything?"
From Akihiko's side, I could hear tires screech and loud honking noises.
"What are you doing?" I asked. "Don't be a reckless driver!"
"Don't lecture me. I'm on my way to your place." He then hung up.
Stupid bastard I thought.
I noticed that Takahashi was taking forever in coming out of the bathroom. Just when I was about to yell for him, Nowaki came through the door.
"Shit! You scared the hell out of me!" I realized that I had jumped a few feet away from the door.
"Sorry Hiro-san. I just wanted to come home to see if Misaki was here."
Well damn, I guess I don't matter.
"Oh Hiro-san, you know I wanted to make sure you weren't hurt neither," He said as if he could read my mind. He came and gave me one of those bear hugs. My face flushed from embarrassment.
"Alright get off!" I pushed him away and he just flashed me a smile.
Idiot.
Right then Takahashi came into the living room. He was hugging himself tightly for some reason. He also seemed a little pale.
"Hey brat, you cold or something?"
"Oh no, hahaha, I'm fine really—Nowaki, you're here."
"Misaki! Are you alright?"
The giant brat ran over towards the little brat. He was examining him, which puzzled me.
"Nowaki—" Takahashi started, "I'm f-fine rea—"
"Misaki, you haven't, you know. "
I watched as Nowaki leaned over and whisper something in Takahashi's ear. That made me angry. They were standing too close to each other.
And as if I wasn't scared enough because the first idiot came into the apartment suddenly, bakahiko stormed in, making me almost drop my cup of tea that I had just poured for myself.
"God, don't you know how to knock!"
As usual, Akihiko never listens to me. He just rushed over the little brat and…hugged him tightly.
"Misaki," I heard him whisper. For some reason, I couldn't help but stare. Years ago, and even know, I wouldn't have been able to believe that Akihiko would feel so much affection for another person other than Takahiro. I guess I was wrong. It made me slightly sad but I'm glad that he is able to move on.
"Usagi-san," the brat whispered and he started to tear.
Usagi-san, what kind of name is that?
"We should go home, now," Akihiko stated. "We have to talk." Taking Takahashi by the arm he started to drag him but my eyes, along with everyone else's, the kid flinched and yanked away.
"I-I can walk myself thanks," he said and rushed outside. Akihiko, shocked, hurried outside. As for me, I shut and locked the door. I've had enough drama for one day.
"Listen Nowaki—"
Huh? Where did he go?
"Nowaki? Where are you?"
I went down the hall to see if he was in the room but saw him standing in front of the bathroom.
"Hey, didn't you hear me call y—"
When I followed his gaze, my mouth dropped. There was blood inside the toilet.
"Misaki," Nowaki said. As if I wasn't there, he pushed me aside and I had to catch myself so I wouldn't fall completely on my face.
Getting my balance back, I looked inside the bathroom again.
What the hell was that kid doing?
(Nowaki's P.O.V.)
I had to check. If Misaki did what I think he did, then I would have to let Usami-san know. I can't let that boy continue to hurt himself. So when they both had left, I rushed to the bathroom to see if there was any evidence of Misaki cutting himself.
The first thing I saw was the toilet clogged. With bloody water and tissue.
Oh no….
I didn't hear Hiro-san call me and I didn't realize that he was next to me. I didn't want to see his eyes. His look would only confirm of what was really in front of us. I had no choice but to run after Misaki. After seeing that, it tells me that he's in need of doctor. And fast.
I reached the parking lot and just then I saw Akihiko taking off.
"Usami-san stop!" I yelled. He didn't hear me. He kept going.
(Akihiko's P.O.V.)
"Misaki, please tell me you're ok. Tell me what my brother did."
He still wasn't answering. Once we had stepped inside my car, he became silent.
"Please," I pleaded, "no more secrets. You're hurting me this way by not letting me worry with you. I've searched everywhere for you, hoping you were ok. I called and there was no answer. You know how much stress I was in? If anything had happened to you, I wouldn't know what I would've done. I love you. I love you so much."
"B-Baka…I know…that," he said quietly.
Reaching a stop light, I turned my gaze and looked at Misaki.
"Hey you don't look so good. What's wrong?"
He looked really pale and was sweating. It also looked like he was having trouble breathing. Also, he was leaning, towards me, in his seat.
"Misaki?" I looked down. He still was hugging himself. I heard the sudden honking of the cars as they wanted me to drive already. I ignored them and reached for Misaki's arms. His fingers gripped his arm tightly and I had to pry them off. Finally, I was able to lift one arm up. His sweater looked wet. I touched it and felt moisture. Bringing my fingers to my face. I believed my breathing stopped.
Blood?
"What is this? Hey I'm talking to you? What the hell happened to you?" I nudged him, but what he was listening. Or rather, he wasn't waking up.
And that's the end of chapter eleven. Reading this over, I couldn't believe what I'd just written. Sorry if this chapter came out sucky. It just happened. I actually had to rewrite it because my first version was horrible. Anyway, please review. I'm already working on the next chapter so I should post it within a few days. Sorry for any grammatical errors!
Thanks for reading!
