Crimson Depts by Rondomness
Like I said, I will fight to come out with new chapters fast. But we have some friends from Australia visiting this week, so maybe I won't have that much time.
Warnings: Rape, m/m non-con, abuse…
If you're underage or dislike yaoi or rape, it is a really bad idea to read on. But if that's okay with you, pray continue.
Chapter 11: Punishment
Off course. This was what Ichiou had wanted, why he had made Kaname faint at the stupid party. Ichiou had no need to show just how amazing his ward was. Could he only make Kaname appear weak, he could hold him inside this cage as long as he wanted. A golden cage is still a cage and this… was definitely a cage.
Kaname gritted his teeth. The pureblood's irritation materialized into a crack in the wall and a few pillows that were cut open. Kaname suddenly had an almost uncontrollable lust to split this house, this cage apart with his mere thoughts. The house and everyone in it. He had to force himself to calm down, if he didn't he knew much worse punishment was coming.
His eyes widened a little as he heard Ichiou come down the hallway towards his rooms. He didn't want to know what the noble wanted here, but he knew that he was about to find out. That old creep never gave him a moment's peace.
The old noble glared unpleasantly at Kaname before walking around him, standing behind the pureblood. Ichiou knew it coursed his ward a great deal of discomfort, having someone behind him, but he was also sure that Kaname was never going to turn around.
"Kaname. Once again, you've crossed my path and once again you're now caught in my net. But this time, I got you." Kaname could feel the numbness descend upon him as Ichiou pinned him with his sheer will. Kaname wasn't going to take the violation passively twice. He turned around, facing his guardian and splintered a vase standing on a nearby table.
"Are you threating me?" Ichiou smiled grimly. "I don't think you realize what I'm capable of. By now, you must be aware that I can make you collapse with a mere look. But I think you underestimate how much it's going to hurt, should I unleash my full power over you. And off course, should there be any more trouble, we can always hurt the Cross girl a little and see if that changes it."
At the mention of Yuki, Kaname froze. He couldn't risk that Ichiou should hurt Yuki because of Kaname's actions. Ichiou smiled as he saw the look of surrender in Kaname's gaze as he turned around again, presenting his back. The noble sat behind Kaname and laid a possessive arm around him, pulling him closer.
Ichiou pulled out a knife and made a small cut on the pureblood's skin, the blood trailing down his arm. Oh, God that old creep was going to bite him. As Kaname felt Ichiou's mouth at his shoulder, he jerked back, panicked because it was so unfamiliar. Kaname twisted and because he was so much stronger, he managed to almost slide loose. "Stay still." The voice was cold and steely. Kaname felt the urge to ignore it, but he couldn't, considering the circumstances.
His body slackened in the other's grasp. Ichiou enjoyed the feeling of supreme power and ownership over the boy, but he knew he had to be very careful not to hurt him. The boy's friends in Cross Academy would rip him to shreds should harm befall Kaname. "That's better." Kaname grit his teeth. How he would have loved to make that despicable man explode right now.
"Kaname, you are so easy to manipulate." That was such a lie. In fact, Ichiou had trouble ever getting a response from the boy. Ichiou wasn't after Kaname's blood right now, just after a response. Kaname could see that, and stoically, he kept his emotions behind a carefully made façade, shutting everything out.
Ichiou couldn't keep his anger at bay. How dared the little brat disobey him still? Why didn't he just do as the noble wanted him to? Ichiou could manipulate every single person, human or vampire, he'd ever met, except the only person whom he actually wanted to control.
Ichiou dragged the boy to his feet. "You better do as I say. If not, you will be severely punished." Kaname couldn't care less. Off course, it hurt as hell to get such a beating, but he could handle that. And he was prepared as a large, hard hand backhanded him so rough he almost fell back on the bed. The wound disappeared in an instant and it irritated Ichiou. He wanted to hurt Kaname, wanted to watch him in pain, but the pureblood's swift healing factor made it difficult.
Kaname stood back up with stoical silence, even as Ichiou grabbed him by the collar. The old noble's voice came out in a hiss. "Mark my words boy. I will make sure you're not allowed to even breathe without my permission. As long as you are here in this house, you have to abide by my rules and do exactly as I say. You better be wary. I will keep an eye on you at all times and make sure that you are greatly punished whenever I see fit."
Ichiou left the room in a rush and Kaname exhaustedly sank down on the bed. He already knew. He already knew that Ichiou would beat him if he did anything wrong. Kaname didn't want the panic to take over completely, but he couldn't help shudder. Because the old man was right. Alone, Kaname could do nothing against the Senior Council and they wanted him to stay under Ichiou's control. No. He wasn't under Ichiou's control. He wasn't.
Why did it have to take so painfully long time to die? When Zero had been on the brink of dying, he had thought that there was nothing to excruciatingly painful as getting beaten with a chain. He was wrong. Oh God, he was wrong. It was much more painful, much more degrading to have to live through this kind of abuse.
Ever since Rido had found a new kind of "fun", he never gave the hunter a chance to even start to recover. It would start out as kissing, while Rido drank up the blood which had been spilled when Rido let his fangs bite the boy's lips and tongue. To Zero, who had never been kissed by others than his parents, this was extremely shameful and it hurt to have the blood drained, but the next things were so much worse. If just it hurt, it was okay, he could handle it, but when Rido made him moan with pleasure, Zero wished that the earth would just open up and consume him.
It was happening again. Rido was teasing Zero's neck and nipple, while his hand worked in the hunter's pants. Between moans of pain and pleasure, Zero was screaming for it to stop.
When it came to sexual affairs, purebloods made little to no distinction of sex. It was every vampire's mere duty to satisfy a pureblood's wishes and it was seen as a great honor. Because of vampires' natural beauty, it made males just as attractive as females and it wasn't strange for a pureblood to choose a lover of their same sex. Rido had been in bed with males before and he wasn't at all disgusted with the thought of taking the boy.
His hands were quietly sliding down and undoing the hunter's belt buckle, forcing his pants down a couple of centimeters. At the feeling of this new sensation, Zero jerked back, fighting to break the chains. "Not so troublesome now, Zero. Just be still." Rido walked behind him and pushed his pants further down. "Stop." Rido paid no attention to Zero's struggles, jerking the boy's pants completely off. Zero gasped at the sensation of the cold air in the small room.
Zero shut his eyes tightly as he heard Rido unzipping. This just wasn't happening. He kept telling himself that. This was just a stupid nightmare and in a matter of seconds, Kuran would come in the door and laugh his ass off, as it was always happening in his dreams. Normally, the embarrassing part had something to do with Yuki.
But it was a dream from which he was unable to wake up. Even though Zero tried to convince himself that this was only a truly horrifying nightmare, he already knew that he wasn't escaping. And it was only confirmed as Rido stepping closer behind him, laying his arms around the hunter. Zero knew it was hopeless to fight, but he was quite too terrified to resist the urge to desperately squirm.
"It's not that bad. I imagine you will in fact enjoy this. A lot more than you might think," Rido whispered darkly. He wasn't exactly going to make this easy for Zero. Rido fully intended to make the boy suffer as much as possible.
Zero could feel the other's very naked body against his own very naked body and he shuddered weakly. A hand was trailing down his inner thigh and Zero gritted his teeth, desperate to hold in his pleadings. Was Rido going to…? Surely he couldn't want to…?
Rido grinned darkly as a look of true terror descended upon his captive's face and he squirmed wildly. "Stop, stop. St…" Zero was cut off when Rido's hand hit a certain spot, which made Zero moan. Rido smiled cruelly. The boy was so wonderfully trying to resist the emotions building up inside him. Had he just learned into it, just enjoyed it, Rido would have done him a great honor. "It is so unfair of you to react this way. You don't know how many nobles there would kill to be in your place and then you just stick up your nose and tell me to stop? You're so spoiled."
Zero wondered if Rido were lying or every vampire in the world just were nuts. There couldn't possibly be anyone who wished another, pureblood or not, to rape them like this. And, as much as he hated them, he wouldn't wish for anyone to take over his place. No one should be forced to accept this.
"And it's not because you don't like it, is it? Don't try to lie and say you're not enjoying this. It is so obvious that you like these touches of mine." Rido pressed a knee in between Zero's legs, forcing him to spread them. Zero blushed lightly. He really was going to die of shame, at least that wouldn't hurt physically.
Rido learned his head in between the hunter's head and his left chained arm, close to his ear. "Do you really want me to stop?" Rido were learning so close to him that Zero was unable to move and he simply whimpered softly, twisting because he couldn't help moving. "Yea… Yes, stop."
Rido smiled almost like a patient adult, trying to make a point clear to a child. "You shouldn't say things you don't mean. Does this really feel disgusting?" Rido let a hand trail up Zero's inner thigh, making the boy gasp quietly. "Does it?"
Zero couldn't lie and tell Rido that it hurt, but he sure as hell didn't enjoy it. Instead, Zero just kept silent. Rido sighed, but it sounded amused. "It's so wonderful that you're resisting, it wouldn't be fun at all if you just enjoyed it. I'm not saying it won't hurt, you can be sure it will. Actually, the more you're resisting, the more will I find it enjoyable."
Zero shut his eyes tightly. He could sense that Rido were done playing around with him and now fully intended to take him. Rido slowly released Zero and moved behind him. It would be a bit uncomforting to take him here, while standing up, but Rido couldn't move him without making him sleep and he wouldn't wait until Zero awoke.
Rido let his gaze judge Zero once again. The boy really was beautiful. Rido wouldn't get enough of the hunter in a long time. He pressed against Zero from behind and took great pleasure in the shivers he felt running up the hunter's spine.
Zero knew this was going to hurt. He could feel Rido's groin press against him and he tried in a childish, terrified second to attack the other man. He couldn't even imagine what it must feel like, to have something like that… inside.
Rido gripped Zero's hips and pulled him backwards, while plunging forward, burying himself in the boy, claiming ownership. Zero's agonized scream echoed through the room. Oh God, it hurt. It hurt so badly.
Rido had taken him completely dry, making the penetration much more painful than it had to be. And he enjoyed Zero's screams. He wanted to drown in them. He thrust back in again, a little longer in than before. His hands were around Zero's chest, his knee between Zero's legs to force them to remain spread.
Zero screamed again, fighting to keep his tears at bay. How could something so simple hurt this much? Even though he was 17, Zero was a virgin and hadn't tried this before. Or at least, he'd been a virgin a minute ago. It hurt so badly right now, both physically and mentally. It hurt to think that Rido had taken something like this from him, that he was now filthy, ruined. Zero had never thought much about this topic, but his first time should definitely not have been with a man and least of all with this freak, this monster.
As Rido continued to thrust in, completely ignorant of the pain he coursed the boy, tears of pure agony rolled down Zero's cheeks. This was too painful, he couldn't stop the tears from being shed. Stop! Stop it… I can't take anymore, so please stop, Zero's mind begged but he was screaming so much it made him unable to speak.
Rido groaned softly in pleasure and pulled out only to thrust in again. It wasn't less painful second time and Zero thought he was really going to die. Being taken like this, completely dry and untried, made his entire body hurt excruciatingly. Rido hadn't been easy on him and while he screamed himself hoarse, tears streaming down his face, blood started spilling out from his groin. It ran slowly down his legs, but Rido was careful not to touch it. If he did, it could be used as lupe and that would make it less painful for Zero, who desperately grabbed his chains for support.
Rido gently teased a nipple, while licking the boy's neck. Zero really was appealing and he loved the feeling of penetrating the boy. Rido grinned as Zero squirmed helplessly in his restrains, unable to move Rido's hands and Rido started thrusting back and forth constantly, punishing the hunter without mercy. He constantly changed position so Zero wouldn't get accustomed to the sensations.
To Zero, it felt like Rido would never stop. For an entire quarter, Zero could do nothing but scream and scream and scream. He squirmed wildly, even though he knew it was no good and it probably did nothing but amuse his sadistic captor. To Rido, Zero's hopeless struggles and screams were just as beautiful, just as arousing as his body.
Finally, Rido reached his climax in Zero's unwilling body and he stopped thrusting in, simply learning into the boy. He wanted to greedily devour Zero again, right now. As he felt the wet, warm sensation of Rido's pleasure mingled with the blood still running down his legs, Zero felt sick. He wanted to take a bath in chlorine to wash the sensation off. He could feel his almost empty stomach twist and felt like vomiting.
Rido could feel Zero's chest contract and see his face turn pale. "Throw up, and I'll take you again, right here, right now," he threatened. Zero knew Rido wasn't joking and breathed slowly through his mouth to try and keep his stomach calm. Rido smiled. If he hadn't had something else he needed to do, he would definitely have taken Zero again.
He slowly pulled out, wringing a last scream from Zero. Zero's body slackened as he could feel the man pull away and Rido pulled his knee away too, allowing Zero to support himself. But he just couldn't. As soon as Rido's knee was gone, Zero collapsed, only held up by his restrains. Rido walked in front of the boy, pressing his head up.
"I'm afraid I have to leave you now, but don't worry. I will be back soon." Rido smiled darkly as Zero jerked back. It didn't seem like the boy had fully understood yet. Rido was going to use him until there was nothing left.
Rido silently left the room and walked out of the old building he was staying in. He had several residents around the country, but he'd chosen an old, deserted apartment far away from anything else. It was in the middle of a busy town, but no one would pay the house any attention. Off course, they didn't know that a 17-years boy was being held captive inside.
Rido had lately started paying more attention to the boy himself, than the reason for bringing him in the first place. It had started out as being a game of power, forcing Kaname to do what Rido wanted him to do. His plan had been to strike through Yuki. And Yuki's weakness was Zero. But now, Rido was more interested in the boy. He was so much fun, resistant but so beautifully vulnerable at the same time.
But Rido would still use the boy as blackmailing. Now, the conditions had just worsened. Instead of telling Kaname that he was going to release Zero if Kaname changed Yuki, he would tell him that Zero would survive if Kaname changed Yuki.
Rido took out the phone and called the Ichijo Estate.
It knocked lightly on the pureblood's door and a servant stepped in, bowing lightly. "Kaname-sama, there is somebody wishing to speak to you. You may take the phone in the hallway." Kaname sent the servant a confused look. Normally, Ichiou wouldn't allow Kaname to speak to anyone. "Is it okay with my guardian?" he asked. "Well, I… I haven't asked him," the servant blushed slightly. "Ichiou-sama has forbidden any contact to you."
Kaname was unsure why the servant had disobeyed Ichiou, but he was obviously very worried. The sweat was visible on the man's skin and his hands were knotted tightly into fists. "All right, I shall take it. Don't tell my guardian." The servant bowed and disappeared in an instant.
"Nephew." As Kaname heard the voice, he understood why the servant had looked so pale and why he had disobeyed Ichiou. Rido, a pureblood, had called and had probably threatened the servant to go and fetch Kaname quickly. Kaname breathed deeply, allowing himself a second's peace to calm down, before answering.
"Uncle. Why have you called? I think we both understand that I'm in quite a big mess right now and I can't imagine you've called to give support." Kaname knew that Rido had brought Zero with him, but he had no idea if Zero had been rescued or what had happened. "You're so selfish, Kaname. Haven't you even considered that I might not call because of you?" Kaname didn't understand. If it wasn't about him, then why?
"I've just called to let you know that I'm becoming a bit inpatient. I'm growing tired of waiting for you to turn Yuki." Oh, there was the point. It was as if Rido never really gave up. He couldn't even punish Kaname anymore, but he still kept asking. "Then you're going to wait a long time, uncle. I have no intentions of turning her."
Rido sighed, smiling cruelly. He had hoped that Kaname didn't know that Zero was still in his control. "Is that so? I'm not so sure about that. Don't want your little toy to get hurt, now would you? Well, maybe you don't care, but I'm sure my little Yuki would get terribly hurt." Rido purposely left out, that Zero already had been hurt really badly.
Kaname gritted his teeth. Kiryuu. Apparently, Rido were very good at hiding his captives. That, or Chairman Cross wasn't good at organizing search and rescue operations at all. "I think you by now understand just how much I'm able to hurt the Kiryuu boy if I choose to." Rido's mocking voice sounded almost amused as he said the last bit, as if enjoying a private joke and Kaname wondered if he wanted to know why.
"You're a blackmailer." Kaname could hear Rido's mocking grin. "A businessman." Rido still were aroused after his intimate meeting with Zero and he couldn't help smiling darkly. When Kaname finally was forced to bite her, be it her own will or Rido's, he would kill both her and Senri and resurrect. And Kaname was going to die, too. Rido would drain him to the last drop and watch him turn to glass. But Zero, he didn't have to die. Not right now at least. The hunter would survive until Rido was growing tired of him, and that could very well take an agonizing lot of time.
"So you see, nephew, Kiryuu is going to stay in my care. But, depending of you, it can be a dark cell or the torture chamber. You choose." Kaname heard the irritating sound when Rido hang up for a second. Then the phone, some curtains nearby and a painting exploded. Kaname could have exploded the entire house if he wanted, but he knew that this broken phone alone was enough for Ichiou to have an excuse to beat him and call him things like "mentally disturbed".
Crap. What the hell was he going to do? What was he supposed to do? Rido had given him an ultimatum. He could now choose between turning Yuki into a mere tool for Rido, probably sending her straight to her death… or… letting Kiryuu get tortured instead. It wasn't fair that his "family problems" should involve Kiryuu, but it definitely was not an option to change Yuki. If he just had been able to get out of here, he could have saved Kiryuu instead. But the constant restrictions made it impossible for Kaname to do anything.
He was still standing by the crushed phone when a servant rushed over to him, some other servants gathering the pieces of the broken phone. "Is there anything wrong, Kaname-sama?" It didn't seem like he expected an answer. "I will go to tell Ichiou now." He ran back to Ichiou's office, Kaname only looked irritated after him. There was no point in stopping the servant, Ichiou would find out anyway.
It didn't come as a surprise, when the same servant came running back a few minutes later and pronounced that Ichiou wanted to see the pureblood. Kaname slowly made his way down the hall, wondering if his life could get any more complicated and hurtful. It seemed like everything he touched was destroyed. He had barely given the boy the great gift of pure vampire blood, before he was abducted and were now being held prison by Kaname's psychopathic uncle. Kaname wondered if Rido were going to kill the boy none the less, but it didn't seem like he wanted to let him go. What the hell was happening?
Ichiou sighed slowly, smiling patiently up at Kaname as he entered. But when his ward turned around, it was obvious that his thoughts were somewhere else and that irritated Ichiou. That impudent boy didn't even bother concentrate at Ichiou, even though he probably already knew that he was about to get punished.
"Kaname, why do you have to break my rules? Even though I've become so more much generous lately and given you so free rein, you're as disobedient as ever. When you were younger, you were having at least a little respect for me. But maybe you've forgotten. Should I reteach you how to obey? Have you completely forgotten the consequences of defiance?" Ichiou asked, coldly looking up at Kaname who had his carefully crafted façade in place.
Kaname could remember perfectly fine what had happened even though it was years ago. A small child would never forget something like that. Ichiou straightened up from his relaxed position in the chair. "However, Kaname. You've become elder since then and after all it was just a phone, some curtains, an expensive painting and the fact that you answered the phone. So, I'll let you off easily this time. You're not allowed to leave your room and you will have no dinner or bloodtablets. But you won't get psychically punished. And keep in mind that I won't be as gentle next time."
This, Kaname hadn't been expecting. He had thought that he would get severely beaten, if Ichiou were in a good mood. The fact that he escaped with nothing, but a little more restrictions were highly unexpected and a bit disturbing. Kaname slowly nodded and turned to walk away. Ichiou stopped him. "One more thing." Kaname grit his teeth. Off course he wouldn't escape so easily. "If you disobey me again, even the smallest little thing, I will have to lock you up an entire day in the safe room, understood?" he smiled gently.
Kaname froze for a second, but then continued to walk out the door. The safe room was a room in the basement, in which Kaname had been locked up in when he was a child. It reminded him of a room in a mental institution, completely dark and isolated. It inhibited a vampire's natural powers, so when they were both in it, Ichiou would be the strongest and Kaname would have difficulties healing. He'd never told Takuma of it, but the one time Takuma had seen Kaname cry was after a longer stay in the safe room. Kaname hated and feared the room, even though he would never admit it.
Kaname buried his face in a pillow on his bed and begged that there was no tomorrow.
Now don't come and say that there is happening to few things for the characters. I will make a story afterwards that's focusing on Ichiou and Kaname's past so more will come about them. I will be traveling away in the weekend but the next chapter will be out in Tuesday or Wednesday.
