I realized that I didn't answer the question. I'm thinking that this won't be Yaoi/manxman story but if you want that I can still make it work. I did have an idea for it but I was planning making entirely a new story which based on boyxboy relationship which wasn't allowed and stuff. (That would include r.a.p.e there though... maybe :/) :D

Do enjoy this one :)

Chapter 11: Childhood friends, Almost Drowned And Surprising Help

-At School-

Kai sat down behind his desk when he arrived at his first class of the day. There was still time before teacher would arrive, so Ray gave his bag to Kai.

'I'll be gone for a second. Take care of this. I have to check with my former class,' Ray smiled. Kai nodded and watched Ray run out of the door. Along with Kai there were a few girls and boys in the class too.

Kai placed Ray's bag on his lap and closed his eyes. Now that he lived at Ray, he would have at least some kind of chance to somehow fight back if someone came to annoy him. And someone did came, Edmund. Immediately Kai glared at him when he stopped in front of him and leaned closer.

'How is the whore doing today?' he smirked. No one else seemed to hear what Edmund had said. Kai began to answer but bit his lip instead. Edmund moved closer to Kai's face annoyed.

'Are you stupid or something? Oh wait, I know. You wanted someone in your ass but Ray interrupted,' Edmund laughed, 'I bet he wanted to rape you too.' Kai's eyes turned sharp and were filled with fire after hearing Edmund's last statement. He didn't care what people said about him but bad-mouthing Ray. Kai shot up and caused everyone turn at them.

'Did I hit the whore's nerve?' Edmund asked. Kai threw daggers at Edmund and clenched his hands into fists. He didn't see other students smirk and watch them interested.

'Apparently,' Adrian stated.

'Fuck you father!' Kai thought. When he needed his voice the most, he couldn't use it. So instead, Kai pulled his hand back and punched Edmund on the face. When Adrian stepped forward to defend his friend Kai punched him too. As two boys were on their asses with a red bruise on the cheeks Kai panted. Edmund stood up and dashed towards Kai and pushed him against a school desk.

'You will pay for that!' Edmund growled but Kai only watched Edmund's face without moving a muscle. Last time he fought back and teacher came he was the one who got into trouble.

'What's wrong? Scared?' Adrian stepped next to Edmund. They were ready to throw punches when they heard shouting.

'What are you boys doing?' Anna asked shocked when she walked into the classroom. Kai saw Ray coming too behind them.

'Edmund and Adrian! Let go! Now!' Anna ordered. Kai straightened himself as two boys back off. Ray ran to him.

'Are you okay?' he asked and Kai nodded.

'What happened?' Anna asked.

'He punched us without a reason. We were going to get him back,' Adrian said. Ray saw Kai shook his head annoyed and it was enough for him.

'Something tells me you left something out,' Ray said.

'We did not and you weren't even here,' Edmund smiled. It was like he knew that he would get away of this. Ray glanced at others and noticed that other students kept their faces hidden.

'Seriously?! They were here and they apparently know something but still keep their mouth shut,' Ray took a paper and a pen out and gave them to Kai.

'Tell us your version,' Ray said.

'He can't speak? Ooh, I'm going like this,' Adrian said like teacher wasn't there.

'Edmund!' Anna raised her voice as Kai wrote something down and gave it to Ray who turned it around after reading it.

'The usual. Calling me a whore and that you wanted to rape as well.' Ray put the paper down and growled.

'You do know what kind of school this is. Every classroom has cameras. What do you think what we will see if they are checked?' Ray smiled when he saw realization hit them. And Anna noticed it too.

'Alright. You two go the headmaster's office, now,' she ordered.

'What about that whore?!' Edmund was in rage.

'Edmund! Watch your mouth! He will get detention for hitting you but you two have something else to worry about,' Anna took the two boys and pulled them out of the classroom. Still… it wasn't enough for Ray. He turned to other students.

'Everyone listen up!' he yelled and it caught the attention of other students from the hallway too.

'I'm disgusted! It's clear that you saw what was happening and you kept your mouths shut! What is this?! A kindergarten?! Next time, you better speak up when you see someone bullied!' he yelled. Kai watched shocked how other students looked sad and ashamed. He took the paper and wrote "Thank you" on it.

'Anytime Kai. I've had enough how people treat you. You should be able to enjoy school and not be tense for every minute. Once we have checked the people who bully you and make sure they leave you alone, you can relax. I… I would like to know everyone who has done something to you at least once,' Ray asked. Kai simply took a paper and wrote some names down. Robert, Johnny and Michael were at the top and Hilary's friends' names were there too along with Lee and his company and few more.

'Lee? What did they do?' Ray looked shocked. Kai watched him carefully before writing what happened the very first week.

'They broke my phone and pushed my head down on the toilet. You came after that. Why are you shocked?' Kai watched Ray read before sighing.

'Well… they are my childhood friends, Lee, Kevin, Gary and Mariah. Heh,' Ray laughed annoyed, 'And here I thought they were good friends but not anymore.'

'Sorry.'

'What are you sorry for?'

'You can go to them and have fun. I can manage on my own.'

'For the hundred time, no. You have had enough of constant abuse. Since teachers won't see it, I will stop it instead. And I don't want to be friends with people who hurt others,' with that Ray sat down next to Kai and looked forward. Kai went also back into his seat when Anna came back alone.

'Now that is settled, everyone, take out your books,' Anna began the class. Even with a small bump day started nicely. Kai knew that once Ray's plan succeeded and his parents would get behind bars, he could somewhat normal life.

He would have to get used to being mute but that didn't worry him much. It was mother's pregnancy which was in his mind. He hadn't told police or even Ray about it but maybe he should, at least to Ray. Police would find about it, eventually, on their own when Susumu and Katherine would be caught.

-After The Class-

'I was going to meet up with Lee after class but I changed my mind,' Ray said as he and Kai stepped out of the classroom. They had gotten a ton of homework already. Ray turned to Kai who tapped him on the shoulder and gave a paper to him again.

'Listen. They are your childhood friends. Even though I never had friends in the past, I know that they are important. Don't lose them because… of me.'

'Kai… Not only that sound weird when it comes from you but you are right. Okay, I will go talk to them but if they don't stop annoying you, they are out of my friend-list,' Ray said. Just like he said, he hurried towards their next classroom and saw Chinese students laughing. Thanks to Ray's sharp eyes, he saw picture of Kai which Robert had sent on Lee's phone.

'Okay. They are definitely off if they don't stop,' Ray walked closer and got a wide smile from Mariah. Ray had guessed that she might like him more as a friend. Ray did do until he heard what she did do Kai.

'Why did you change classes Ray?' she asked, 'Is it because of that heroin freak?' Ray hissed and pushed Mariah away.

'I came here to talk you about that. I thought you were smart,' Ray started.

'Seriously? We are smart Ray. You know us,' Lee laughed.

'Then why are you acting like idiots?' Ray didn't hide his anger. Lee started to ask what Ray meant when he saw where Ray's eyes were watching. Lee closed the phone and put it in his pocket.

'What is so wrong with that? He's a spoiled rich brat who needs to learn a lesson. He doesn't respect anyone,' Lee said.

'I have to break your little bubble Lee because you are wrong. Would you respect to someone who hurts you for a stupid reason like that? Besides, unless you haven't heard, Kai's been abused at home. He's not spoiled,' Ray glared at Lee. He was getting angry too.

'I heard of it. Kai can't even speak anymore. Imagine it. Someone takes Kai somewhere and hits him but he can't call for help. It's the best,' Kevin cheered.

'Come on Ray. Why are you defending him? He was getting what he deserved last week but you stopped it. Why?' Mariah asked.

'Because he's a human being and he shouldn't be treated that way!' Ray's anger boiled over but he calmed himself before hitting someone.

'Fine. Since you want to be so stupid bastards, don't bother calling me ever again,' Ray's words shocked them.

'What?!' Lee shouted. Yet again other students were watching.

'You heard me. Don't even call me a friend. If I had known how you acted towards other people, I would never been your friend in the first place. You know what… I'm going to delete your number from my phone and block you,' Ray said and turned to walk away but Mariah grabbed his arm.

'Are you nuts? Don't you know how I care about you?'

'Yeah, I know and I felt the same way but now you lost my respect. I don't want to get together with someone who hurts someone else for any reason,' Ray said and didn't look back when walking away.

Lee clenched his fists growling.

'Lee?' Gary sounded worried. It was never good when Lee was furious.

'That fucker is going pay,' Lee grunted.

'You mean Kai? I agree with you,' Mariah said in tears, 'He took Ray from us.' Lee's angry expression changed to evil smirk.

'Don't worry. Now that he can't let out even a small voice, it will be easy to have some fun with him,' Lee said.

'What's your plan?' Kevin asked.

'Listen…' Lee started.

-With Kai And Ray After Last Class-

Kai couldn't believe what Ray just told him. He felt like it was his fault.

'Cheer up Kai. I will be waiting at home when you get released from the detention,' Ray smiled. He didn't regret anything at all. He deleted and blocked them form his phone and social media.

'What are you up to?'Kai wrote.

'Something fun. We can go eat something or go to movies,' Ray leaned closer, 'It was my mom's idea actually.' Kai nodded bluntly. Ray had become like a guardian angel to Kai since no one even dared to look at Kai mockingly. Ray had even gotten a touch with his doctor again and got Kai more medicine for Kai's withdrawals. They were getting smaller and easier to handle.

With that Ray left the school grounds ad Kai left to his detention. It wasn't long since he had defended himself and this time teachers saw it but it was still 8pm when Kai was able to leave the school. During the school day he had heard that Edmund and Adrian got suspended which made Kai smile.

He was walking calmly towards Ray's home when he started to feel like someone was watching him. Kai glanced behind him but saw only closed shops and a park. He was standing nearby alley which was dark as hell. After glancing around for a minute he turned back around but instead of an empty road he saw short Chinese boy, Kevin. What was he doing here? Kevin just stood there with a smirk.

Feeling uneasy Kai turned around but met up with Gary.

'It's not safe to walk alone at this time of hour,' Kai watched Lee appear behind Gary. He looked pissed. Kai gulped when he saw a bat in his hand.

'You crossed the line body,' Mariah appeared next, 'You stole Ray from me and you are going to pay for that.' Kai gazed around again to look a way out but Gary moved next to Kevin behind him.

'Let's take this slow Mariah,' Lee said while eyeing the bat in his hand. Then Kai felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.

'It must be Ray. Who else it could be?' Kai thought. He brought his hand to his pocket slowly but Gary grabbed his wrist and pulled his hand so up that Kai was standing on his toes. Kai dropped his bag and started to tug against the hold. He didn't see Lee nod with a wide smirk. Before he could react Gary took his phone from his pocket and pushed him towards the dark alley. Staying on his feet Kai turned around and watched Kevin took his bag and all four of them walk closer to him. Just as Kai thought of running they grabbed him again and pushed against the wall.

'This is how things are going to go. You have two choices. One, you breathe into the cloth nicely,' Lee pulled out a cloth and a bottle, 'or two, I hit you with a bat.' Gary kept Kai's hand behind his back and shoved him onto to his knees.

'Oh what was I thinking? How can you choose when you can't even call for a help,' Lee laughed and rubbed his temple. Kai twisted his arms but hold was too strong.

'Please Ray or someone. Help,' Kai thought as Lee poured a liquid on the cloth.

'I think I like this method more. No blood,' Lee said giving the bottle to Mariah and grabbing Kai's hair to hold his head still.

'Nighty night,' Lee smiled happily before covering Kai's mouth and nose with the cloth. Strong scent hit Kai immediately and he tried to thrust his head away, kick them, and basically do anything to get them off. Kai couldn't hold his breathe for long. Lee and others smiled when they heard Kai breathe.

'That's it. You will only sleep for a while,' Lee promised as Kai's eyes began to close. Kai felt pain in his lungs as everything turned black. After being sure that Kai was asleep Lee pulled the cloth way.

'How long will he sleep?' Kevin asked.

'About half an hour. Let's go,' Lee said and Gary pulled Kai over his shoulder. They disappeared into the dark alley.

-With Ray-

Ray sent a fifth message to Kai but didn't get answer. Where was he? He should have been here ages ago.

'Can he be lost?' Ray's mom asked.

'No. He knows this place and can walk around,' Ray said and glanced at the clock. Kai's detention ended at 8pm. It takes fifteen minutes to walk Ray's home but it was already over 9pm.

'I'm going to look for him. Something is definitely wrong,' Ray said and put his shoes on.

'Do you know where to look?' mom asked.

'No but I will walk towards the school and look around,' Ray said and left the house. He ran slowly enough to check his surroundings. His gut told him that things were going to get ugly.

'Could Lee be involved with this?' Ray thought. Lee was right and he knew them. They would definitely feel betrayed and angry. Maybe even enough to blame Kai about Ray's decision. He wouldn't know what was going on until he found Kai.

-With Kai-

Grunting Kai opened his eyes. He was laying on the hard ground. Kai sat up and immediately saw shackles on his wrists. They held Kai's hands together and were chained on the ground. Chain was only five centimeters from the ground. Moving on his knees Kai pulled against the chains but in vain. Sighing Kai decided to look around. He only saw four stone walls.

'Woke up down there?!' Kai heard someone shout. He glanced up and saw Lee with a smirk.

'What do you think? You are chained on the ground and in a big box like… thing. I don't know what to call this,' Lee said. Walls were four to five meters high and Lee was mocking him from up.

'I'm interested to see how you get out of there. If you do, tell me,' Lee said and threw a big pipe thing down. It took a moment but Kai knew what it was. He gazed back up angrily.

'I hope you can breathe underwater,' Lee said and turned something on. Immediately water came out and started to fill the room like hole up, Kai in the middle. Gritting his teeth Kai started to pull again. If he didn't get free, he was going to drown.

'Are they fucking nuts?' Kai glared at Lee one more time. He only waved at him before walking away.

'SHIT!' Kai continued pulling his hands until his skin ripped. It was no use. Desperately he continued struggling against the chains. Water was already covering his legs, since he was on his knees.

'Are they seriously trying to kill me?!' Kai thought angrily.

-With Ray In The Meantime-

He had arrived at the park and hadn't seen Kai anywhere. Ray was getting worried. He spotted an elderly man placing boxes into a van.

'Excuse me?' Ray asked.

'How can I help you boy?' man asked happily.

'Have you seen a tall student? He has grey and blue hair,' Ray asked.

'No, sorry,' man apologized. Ray sighed in disappointment and continued his way. When he was about to give up he heard laughing. Ray hid behind the corner and kept his ears and eyes open.

'Since that's done, let's go have a drink,' Lee stretched his arms.

'Now? I think I'm going to pass. Week has only started,' Mariah said. Ray noticed Kevin laugh with them but Gary looked… worried.

'Um Lee?' big boy asked Lee when they started to walk away. Ray took his phone out and started to record. He knew truth could be heard from Gary's mouth first since he started to feel bad first.

'If he drowns… we are killers,' Gary said.

'No one will find about that we did it. Don't worry about it,' Lee said and left Gary dumfounded behind. When Lee, Mariah and Kevin had left from sight Ray stepped behind the corner. Gary got shocked look.

'I'm sorry…' he said. Ray couldn't even say a word when Gary opened his mouth.

'Lee is really pissed… and he… got an idea that Kai has to pay… Ever since you spoke to us, I have been thinking. I don't want to do this anymore,' Gary said.

'Where is Kai then?' Ray asked.

'He's inside that warehouse,' Gary pointed towards the dark building. Ray ran like a mad man and busted through big doors. He only heard water and saw a pipe go down to a hole. Without hesitation he ran to it.

'Kai!'

-With Kai-

Water was up to his neck when he heard Ray call out to him.

'Hold on!' Ray shouted again and looked around for a ladder or rope. He didn't have to look for long when he found a rope. Ray tied to one end to metal pole and jumped down in the water where Kai while keeping a hold to other end.

Ray pushed through the water and felt shackles around Kai's wrists.

'Shit!' Ray cursed. He tried to pull them without success. Ray bolted up when he heard Kai cough. Water was just about to cover his mouth and nose. Ray literally jumped to the rope and pulled himself up and shut the water. Kai was able to breathe if he watched straight up.

'I'm going to find something to get chains off!' Ray said and disappeared from sight. Kai took a calm breath. He didn't know how Ray found him and why he was looking for him in the first place but it didn't matter. Kai just wanted out of the water.

After five to ten minutes, Ray came into view. What shocked him was Gary next to him with a… key?!

'Here. Lee threw it away and I found it,' Gary gave the key to Ray who jumped back down. In ten seconds Kai's hands were free and they climbed up.

'Gary told me where you were,' Ray explained Gary's presence.

'Ray filmed my and Lee's conversation and I'm planning going to police. Lee has gone mad or something and I don't want to do this. I may think you are spoiled brat and heroin freak but you don't deserve to drown,' Gary said.

'I guess that's his… apology?' Kai stood up and rubbed his sore hands.

'Then go there right now. I will send the chief the video file,' Ray said. He found Kai's bag on the ground. Picking it up he and Kai walked out of the warehouse in silence.

'Gary's always been the one who spills the secrets he can't handle and in this case, it was a good thing,' Ray said. Kai nodded while pressing his clothes. Water dripped on the pavement as they walked.

'We have to tell my mother what happened since police might contact us anyway,' Ray stated. Again, Kai nodded. He had to learn sing language fast. Nodding was tiring and annoying.

Kai tried to mouth out a "morning".

'Morning? Okay,' Ray replied. They arrived at Ray's home after a while and went straight to the room. Kai went to a shower and put night clothes on before going on the bed. Ray's mom didn't have even a chance to ask where he was.

'We will tell you in the morning,' Ray promised and went to bed as well. Kai kept his eyes open for a moment thinking Gary's actions. He hadn't said a word and seemed to follow Lee's moves but in reality, he was against him some way. At least, today he was.

He might ask him about it tomorrow but there was a small chance he would be in school. With that Kai followed Ray's lead and started to sleep.
