Kaoru Sayuri Kamiya – Yes, Haru is weak. But that's because Akito also had a bit power over him as well. He's like a submissive top.


Previously

After they finished and dried off, both went and lay down in the bed. "Shower sex is the best," Haru said.

"Yes, it is," Akito thought. I must remember to do this with Yuki. He will drown in pleasure from me. Thank you Haru for giving me such ideas of what to do with little Yuki. Akito then snuggled up close to Haru, laying on his chest and drifting off to sleep.

Now

"Come on Yuki! Call out my name! Scream for me! I know you can't hold it in any longer." Akito held Yuki by the hips, thrusting in and out of him roughly. The wet slapping sound of Akito hitting up against Yuki filled the room. The dark room that was the sole witness to the evil deeds that were being committed in this house. Akito had come in a few hours earlier and demanded Yuki follow him the bedroom. Just the sight of Akito made Yuki quake in the knees with fear. Once in the bed room there had been no foreplay, no tender touches or longing kisses, just blunt force of Akito pushing his penis into Yuki's abused hole. The evidence of this being their third round tonight was all over the bed. Wet spots littered the sheets, but Akito didn't care and kept shoving Yuki's face into them. "Scream for me bitch!" Akito screamed again as he thrust deeper into Yuki.

Yuki was keeping his voice in to not give Akito the satisfaction that he wanted. The satisfaction that he had Yuki where he wanted him; bound to him, alone, and helpless. The keeping quite was Yuki's way of fighting back and it pissed Akito off. The one thing he loved more than doing these things to Yuki, was hearing the screams, the helplessness of what he was doing. It was the sounds alone that could get him off and Yuki was trying will all his strength to not let that happen. Though he was growing weary and sore. The longer this act continued the more Yuki wondered if he could actually keep it in.

Akito looked down at Yuki's sweat glistening back, moving to and fro with each thrust. He saw Yuki's hands balling up the sheets tight in his grasp, but there was no call, no voice, no sense of excitement for him. He looked down his abdomen at the point where he and Yuki were connected, physically, and watched himself appear and disappear into the red blotched hole that was Yuki's ass. He smiled to himself just thinking about the difficultly Yuki would have tomorrow doing anything and that made him even more excited and he wanted to thrust harder and deeper. Akito dug his nails into Yuki's hips and with one motion he pulled completely out of Yuki; the tip of his penis not even touching the other man. Yuki noticed the vacancy of his rear and started to turn his head. Akito caught Yuki's eyes. They were full of confusion, hate, weariness, self-loathing, disgust, and just a bit of excitement. Akito knew that even though Yuki protested about the sex he really did enjoy it. Once he had Yuki's attention he pushed in, full force, all the way to the hilt. Grinding himself against Yuki to push himself even deeper in. The sudden movement made Yuki loose his resolve and a small moan was released from the depths of Yuki's vocal cords. Akito, proud that he made Yuki feel it, continued to thrust deep into Yuki, not letting up.

Yuki threw his face into the sheets as the thrusts started to get deeper and more forceful. He didn't care if he was smothering himself in a wet spot or not, he just wanted to keep his voice from making any more noise. The disgusting sounds of their bodies slapping together was enough to make Yuki throw up, but just the thought of Yuki's body responding to forced sex, in even a slightly positive way was even more sickening to him. He wanted this over, he wanted Akito to leave, and he wanted to go back to how things were before everything got so messed up. But he knew they never would. Akito found him, and this was how it was gonna be; forever.

"Oh, come on Yuki. I wanna hear the lovely voice of yours calling out for me again as I thrust my hard dick into your tigh- haha, well I guess it isn't tight anymore with all the sex we have been having lately. Anyone would think this backdoor hole was one of a slut. Is that what you are Yuki? A slut?" Akito laughed down at Yuki as he continued to enjoy himself with Yuki. Then he flipped Yuki over. "I want to see your face when I cum inside you," Akito said as he held both of Yuki's thighs. Yuki looked away from Akito, as he gripped the sheets between his fingers. He studied the closet doors as he felt Akito's eyes lingering on him. Then he felt Akito's member move and a moan escaped Akito's lips. A hand reached down and forced Yuki to turn his head and look at Akito, a hungry look in his eye. "I'm going to cum inside you now." And with a few more thrusts Yuki could feel a warm sensation filling him. Akito bent down and took hold of Yuki's lips and roughly kissed him. Plunging his tongue deep into Yuki's mouth and forcing Yuki to move along with him. When Akito finally pulled away both men were breathing heavily, but only one was smiling. Akito pulled himself out of Yuki and started to wipe himself off. Yuki didn't move. He lay on the bed, staring at the popcorn ceiling of his bedroom. His mind, blank.

"Well I think I'm done for the day," Akito announced as he started to pull on his clothes that were strewn about the floor. Yuki turned his head and looked at him. Akito caught his look and smirked at him. "Unless you want to go for another round." Yuki didn't move at this. He wasn't sure what would make Akito want to continue or not so he just stared, not moving. The smirked that was smeared across Akito's face didn't fall as he looked away and pulled his shirt over his head. "Heh, even if you did want another round, I don't think I could stand up to it. Though I may be a sex god, I have my limits as well." He winked at Yuki and walked away. "Don't forget to clean yourself properly!" Akito called through the house as he made his way out the door.

Yuki laid there for another 10 minutes to make sure Akito was gone before he tried to move. His body was stiff and he felt weak. He had to brace himself up against the wall as he made his way to bathroom. Once he finally made it he started to run water in the shower. He needed to clean himself, to get rid of the filth that contaminated his body. He threw himself into the hot spray that rained down on him. The streams burned his skin, but he didn't mind. It felt like the dirt was melting off little by little. He scrubbed himself hard with the soap, letting trails of white foam slide down his body and into the drain that sucked his filth away. He felt the water start to become colder and he knew he had to get out. Steam filled the bathroom, covering the mirror. He slid his hand down the cold reflection and looked at himself. His hair was plastered to his face, his face was lifeless, it held no expression. His eyes looked dulled over and he looked paler. He wiped a bigger area and looked at his body. Cut marks of red flashed against his porcelain skin on his hips showing the newest of Akito's marks on his body. Throughout the past weeks that Akito had been here more and more marks had appeared on him. Welts, cuts, and bruises adorned skin. He was just thankful he could hide it easily under his clothes. Yuki wrapped a towel around himself, hiding the marks from his sight and walked to his room.

The smell of sex overpowered him as he walked into the room. His eyes fell on the bed. It was a mess. The blankets were pulled away exposing the sheet that covered the mattress. Spots of blood and semen were clearly visible all over. Yuki walked over and pulled the sheet corner and let it roll up into itself, hiding the evidence of what had happened. He turned around and looked through his clothes picking out something to wear before settling on jeans and plain white, button-down. He wanted to walk out of this room, out of the house and away from here forever. To try to get further away from Akito, but if Akito found him here he was sure to find him anywhere. Yuki sighed to himself and turned to grab the sheets and blankets to wash them. After they were in the machines Yuki made his way to the kitchen to make some coffee. He drank it black today; he didn't feel like putting milk or cream and sugar in it. He needed something strong to push him through the rest of the day.

With the cup of steaming black coffee in his hand he decided he needed out of the house and walked downstairs to sit out on his porch. It was a Saturday afternoon and there were quite a few people out on the water already. The smell of the lake and the sounds of people started to calm Yuki as he sipped his coffee. Though his body was hurting everywhere he was trying to heal his soul, just a little bit. He closed his eyes and started to listen to the rhythmic sounds of the waves. It was starting to calm him down, and then he heard another noise. A noise of footsteps and they were getting closer. The footsteps were slow and cautious as they approached him, then they stopped. Yuki kept his eyes closed; even without opening them he knew who was standing there before they even spoke.

"Yuki?" Kyo's voice cut through the sounds of the lake and brought Yuki to the present. He opened his eyes slowly as he gazed upon the fiery red-head. His eyes held concern for Yuki and Yuki knew that Kyo was feeling pain. Since the first attack from Akito, Yuki had been distancing himself from everyone. He didn't want to go out anymore, he didn't want to be around anyone anymore and when people tried to touch him he would retract violently from their touch, even if it was an accident. Yuki was aware of his actions but he couldn't help them, no matter how sorry he was about them. "How are you feeling today?" Kyo continued. He didn't move to sit down next to him. He hadn't even tried to touch him not since a week ago.

! #$ 1 Week Ago^& &*()

Everyone had decided to hang out together for a night since the girls had the night off for once and everyone else was free. They met on Kyo's boathouse deck where they brought alcohol and games. They just wanted to hang out and have fun with each other. Yuki was the only one who wasn't really enjoying himself. Akito had slipped in for a 3 hour visit before the party. Yuki was exhausted and hurt, but he didn't want to lead his friends to think anything was wrong with him so he decided to come to the party anyway. After some alcohol got into everyone's system everyone started to let loose even more. Haru and Kyo started to joke around and a fake wrestling match broke out between the two. They were fighting for a shot of rum. The girls were their cheering squad as the fight commenced. The fight only went on for five minutes after Kyo was able to subdue Haru and claim his victory. After taking his shot he stumbled over to Yuki, who wasn't paying attention and wrapped himself around him. He whispered into Yuki's ear, "Can I get a victory kiss?" Yuki had been completely immersed in how to deal with Akito that he was startled by Kyo and jumped up, slapped and pushed Kyo to the ground hard. Everyone was quiet at this and Yuki just stood above Kyo shaking and breathing heavy. The push had made Kyo hit his head against the flooring of the deck and made him a bit dizzy, but he still looked up at Yuki. He wasn't sure what happened or why Yuki had done that. He felt that there was something wrong with Yuki but he thought a night like this would help his lover get over any of his unspoken troubles.

"Yuki? Are you okay?" Kyo asked as he slowly pushed himself up to a sitting position. Yuki's breathing finally calmed down and he finally realized what he had done. Yuki's knees went weak and he collapsed into a sobbing mess in front of Kyo. Though he was confused by Yuki, Kyo still pulled him close and rocked him back and forth. The four onlookers were in disbelief by what they saw and after awhile the girls when home, but Haru stayed behind. Kyo asked if Haru would take Yuki home and without any questions Haru agreed and did what was asked of him.

After that night Kyo was very careful not to step on any landmines that might make Yuki explode again. He didn't touch him, didn't ask him what was wrong, he just let him be and tried to do whatever he could to stay in Yuki's life without being completely pushed out.

! #$%^&*()

Yuki forced a smile up at Kyo, but he knew Kyo could tell it was fake. He patted at the seat next to him and Kyo took it. Yuki really did want to be near Kyo, but he could help but feel guilt, disgust, hatred, and all other negative things because Akito was back in his life. Plus, if Kyo knew about Akito, Kyo was going to get hurt. Akito always knew he could threaten the ones Yuki loved and make him listen to him no matter what. He was trapped and if Yuki wanted to keep everyone else safe he knew he had to do exactly what Akito wanted.

Kyo's body shifted and Yuki saw that Kyo had pushed his hand closer to him. Kyo never did try to be the first one to touch; he always let Yuki do the touching. And it was always slight touches. Like fingers touching or arms brushing or legs falling together. They never embraced anymore and never kissed. Yuki would always think back to how electrifying Kyo's kisses were and how he wanted them again, but then he thought of what Akito would do if he saw. He was watching, always watching. But today Yuki thought he would give Kyo a little more. Akito had finished with him and wouldn't be back for awhile so he couldn't be watching now. Yuki slowly slipped his hand under Kyo's and laced their fingers together. Kyo was completely shocked by this and just stared down at their hands but didn't loosen his grip, he tightened it. Then his eyes trailed up to Yuki's eyes, which was already looking at him. During this moment they didn't move, they didn't speak, they just stared at each other, holding the other's hand tightly with their own. Kyo felt a spark at the touch and felt like it was coming back, the electricity they had before and he was so grateful he had been patient and waited for Yuki to deal with what he needed to do. He was happy to have Yuki back.

Yuki could feel the warmth from Kyo spreading into him. It was this warmth that he missed so badly. This warmth he wanted right now; lying next to him in his bed; holding him until dawn. He needed this warmth to feel alive again. The sound of leaves crunching on the side of the house sent a shiver down Yuki's spine and he released Kyo's hand and shot to a standing position, taking several steps away from him, away from the warmth that he almost had back. The shocked and hurt look on Kyo's face pained Yuki too much and he darted inside, locking the door behind him. He ran upstairs and curled himself up on the couch in the living room, away from onlooker's eyes. It was there that he wept, letting out all his frustration, all his hate, all his pain.

! #$%^&*()! #$%^&*()

Kyo continued to stare at the sliding glass door completely dumbfounded. He thought for a moment that things were going to be alright again, that Yuki was coming around then he just flipped out and ran. "He looked so scared," Kyo said softly. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. He decided to go and talk to Haru. He needed to ask him a favor. As he walked across the rocks between Haru and Yuki's house a small brown rabbit darted out from the bushes and ran up toward the woods. Kyo just watched it go then knocked on Haru's door. Haru answered in sleep pants, bed head, and half-opened eye lids. "I need to talk to you."

Haru didn't say anything just walked away from the door and down the hall to the living room. He took a seat on the couch and sprawled out. "Talk about what? It sounds serious."

"It is," Kyo answered taking a seat in the chair next to the couch. "It's about Yuki." Haru was silent and didn't react. "He's growing distant lately and I don't know why."

Haru sigh and rolled over on his side to face Kyo. "I've noticed it too. Have you asked him what's wrong?"

"A few weeks ago I tried, that was when it all started. He wouldn't give in. Each day it seemed like he pulling further and further away and I just wanted to know what was wrong so I asked him. Then I asked him again, and again. He always just smiled at me and said that he would deal with it," Kyo answered. "Then he attacked me last week and I thought this whole relationship thing was over, but he hasn't told me otherwise. I'm just worried about him, ya know?"

"We all are Kyo," Haru said. "I'm not sure what's wrong with him, but if he doesn't open up to us we can't do anything to help him."

Kyo sighed and dropped his head into his hands. "I know, but I just wish he would rely on me a little more. I'm not frail, I won't stop caring, and I won't stop loving him. I just wish he knew that."

Haru reached over and patted his friend's leg. "Is there anything you want me to do?"

"I want you to look after him," Kyo answered. "Every time I get around him I feel like he gets more and more anxious and I don't want him to start having problems like that because of me. So, I'm going to stay away from him for awhile and I would really appreciate it if you would just be there for him since I can't be. I need you to do this for me Haru, please."

Haru studied Kyo's face before answering. "Of course I will." He sat up and reached out his hand to Kyo's shoulder. "I'll be there for both of you." Kyo smiled and thanked his friend. Then the phone started to ring. Haru got up to answer it. "Hello? Oh, hey. Today?" He looked over at Kyo. Kyo smiled and motioned to the door that he would not be staying. "Yeah, that should be fine. You want me to pick you up or- Oh, that's fine. Yeah, I'll see you in a bit." He hung up the phone. Kyo was smiling at him. "What? I can have a little fun while I watch over Yuki."

"So little Haru has a play thing now huh?" Kyo asked smirking.

"More like a blast from the past. Remember that guy, Akito?" Haru asked.

"I do not. You kind of slept around a bit."

Haru pushed Kyo in the shoulder and down the hallway. "Well you need to leave and I need to get ready for some amazing sex, so get out of my house please."

"Just don't forget your promise," Kyo said in a serious tone.

"Trust me, I won't drop my promise. I care too much about you two to lose you both." Haru gave his friend a re-assuring smile and closed the door after him. He watched Kyo through the window as he crossed in front of Yuki's house. His dark eyes stared at the house, letting reality sink in before he continued on to his own home. Haru felt heartbroken watching these two not being able to get close. Whatever was bothering Yuki was really big and doing some damage. "If, only he would open up to us about what was going on." Haru's phone buzzed. He flipped it open and read the message. "I'll be there shortly. ;)" it read from Akito. Haru smiled down at his phone then the smile dropped. Even though he was getting off while Akito was here he knew there was no love behind any of it. He sighed to himself as he responded, "I can't wait!" But he was never able to say no to Akito, and this time was no exception.

As Haru waited for Akito to show up he started to busy himself by straightening something things up around his house. Picking clothes up off the floor, placing the magazines where they belong, and putting the dishes in the sink. Then he wandered into his bedroom and decided to make up his bed. The bathroom was his last stop as he washed his face and brushed his teeth. He finished patting his face down with a towel when he heard a knock at the door.

Akito stood in the doorway of his house, hands tucked in his pants, a tight fitting shirt hugging every inch of his torso leaving very little to the imagination. He was a thin man, but he wasn't weak. He was slightly toned for his frame and he enjoyed showing it off sometimes and showing it off to Haru was one of his favorite things to do. He glanced up at Haru through his bangs, a smile playing coy on his lips. Haru opened the door wider and let him come in. Akito did not waste any time once the door was shut. He grabbed Haru by the shirt collar and pulled him hard against him. His lips, though cold with no warmth, felt wonderful against Haru's making him melt into Akito. He wrapped his arms around the man's waist and made Akito jump on him. With Akito's legs securely wrapped around Haru's own hips, he walked them into the bedroom and pushed Akito into the blanket. Haru dropped his hips into Akito's pelvis and started to rub their growing erections against each other. The heat from their groins grew as they both felt their members strain against their fabric.

Haru's hands were exploring the known territory of Akito's chest, stopping to rub a nipple as he past them, while Akito's hands were wrapping themselves into Haru's hair. He would pull a few strands slightly when Haru's humping made his member throb with pleasure, causing his back to arch into Haru. Their kisses were deep as each of their tongues swirled and played together. They were both breathing heavy when Haru broke the kiss to start kissing Akito's neck. He sucked on the skin below his ear softly, nibbling a bit. The moans that escaped Akito's throat were raspy and full of lust. Haru could hear the want in Akito's noises so he pulled back, breaking the heat that their bodies made together and started to take off Akito's shirt, then his own. Once the task was done Haru dove right back down on Akito, sucking at his collar bone while his fingers played with a nipple.

"Haru, please…I….I can't take much more. Just…please…just fuck me," Akito begged.

Haru could barely believe that Akito was so turned on that just this make out session was making him cum. He looked down at the man beneath him who looked back at him through have-closed eyes. "No Akito," Haru said. Akito's eyes opened a bit wider. "I'm going to make you cum all night." And before Akito could protest against it Haru slammed his mouth down on Akito's. His hand moved to cup at Akito's growing bulge and he started to play with him through his pants. He felt Akito squirm underneath of him as he played with it. Once Haru broke the kiss he started to remove both of their pants and threw them to the floor. He gazed down at Akito's erect penis, wanting it. Akito started to spread his legs so Haru would enter him, but Haru already took Akito's member in hand. He started to move his hand up and down then he licked it from the base to the tip over and over. Akito's hands found their way into Haru's hair as he took it into his mouth. Akito started to guide Haru's head, pulling it up and down. He could feel it throbbing in his mouth as Akito's moans got louder. His hips started to push against Haru's mouth and then Akito's salty liquid exploded into Haru's mouth.

Haru kept his mouth on the tip, sucking out every bit that he could, then he swallowed it. He looked up at Akito, who was trying to calm his breathing as he closed his eyes. Haru didn't waste any time. He spread Akito's legs and cheeks to find his hole. He licked a finger then stuck it in Akito, moving it in and out. After adding a second one small moans started to come from Akito's throat. Once the third one was in Akito was moving his hips with Haru as he slammed his fingers into Akito's hole. Then he withdrew them and placed his penis at the entrance. He grabbed Akito by the hips and shoved himself in, slowly at first then when it was half way in he rammed himself in till the hilt.

Akito cried out at the sudden pressure inside him. He looked up at Haru and wrapped his arms around his neck. "Move."

Hearing that Haru started to trust in and out of Akito. Moans exploded from Akito's mouth but it wasn't enough for Haru. He wanted to hear him more, hear him louder. He pulled himself out till the tip was almost out then rammed himself in again. Akito yelped and his eyes opened wide by the move. This is what Haru wanted. He wanted a bigger reaction out of Akito and this was the way to get it. He repeated this deep thrusting again and again. Akito was grabbing the sheets and expressing himself very vocally as he screamed with pleasure. "Oh god, YES! THERE! Oh, please. Fuck me more! Harder! Yes! YES! YES!" This was music to Haru's ears because he had never heard Akito this shouty before, and he kind of liked it.

The wet slaps continued to sound through the room as Haru didn't let up on Akito's hole at all. "Oh, you like that? You want more?"

"Yes! I want more! Please, fuck me more!"

Haru flipped Akito over on his stomach, grabbing his hips and repeated the same motion, but feeling himself going deeper into him. "Oh, god that's good…."

"Yes, fuck! Yes! So much…yes!" Akito continued to scream as the thrusting continued, but it couldn't last forever. Haru's hips started to get tired and his pace started to slow down. Akito noticed this and turned his head to face him. "Why are you slowing down?"

"I'm losing my momentum," Haru said still thrusting into him.

Akito was silent for a moment then pulled himself away from Haru. He was slightly confused by this, but then Akito pushed him backwards. Akito climbed up on top of Haru and slammed his ass down on Haru's dick. He pulled himself off and slammed himself down again. He braced himself on Haru's stomach as he did it, rocking his hips slightly as he continued to thrust himself on Haru. All Haru could do was watch him get lost in his own lust. But it wasn't enough and Haru started to thrust back up into Akito as he was coming down. A yelp escaped Akito the first time, but he smirked down at Haru and continued bouncing on his member as Haru pushed himself up against him as well.

Haru then felt himself reaching the edge and he couldn't let Akito hold the reins in this anymore. He grabbed Akito's hips and pushed him backwards as he sat up, kneeling between Akito's legs. He grabbed his thighs and started to thrust at his own pace. Akito was getting close to and he reached down and started to rub his shaft, trying to keep up with Haru's rhythm. With one final thrust Haru felt himself release into Akito, spilling himself completely. Akito also climaxed, letting his cum explode onto his stomach and chest. Haru, breathing heavy, pulled out of Akito and collapsed next to him. He looked over at Akito, and Akito back at him. "That was…great," Akito said.

Haru smiled in response and rolled himself over on his back. Akito stood up from the bed and with the edge of the sheet he wiped himself off. As he cleaned up all the cum off him, Haru just watched him. When Akito felt the gaze on him he looked up and gave Haru a questioning look. "Was just wondering if there was going to be a round two today."

Akito smirked at him. "Not today. You gave my ass a pretty good fuck that might take a bit to get over." He leaned down and kissed Haru. "I'm going to borrow your shower." Then he walked off toward the bathroom and closed the door behind him.

Haru laid there and listened as he heard the water come on. He sighed quietly, a smile playing on his lips. "Amazing sex indeed."

! #$%^&*()! #$%^&*()

"Yuki!" Haru yelled at the closed door before him. He had been banging on it for the past five minutes and Yuki didn't answer, but he knew he was there. Lately Yuki never went anywhere; hell he barely he left the inside of his house. It had been a few days since Kyo asked Haru to keep an eye on Yuki since he felt his being too close was making Yuki uneasy for some reason. Haru knew that it was killing Kyo inside; to care and be so close to someone but you can't do anything for them in their time of pain and anguish. He didn't mind helping his friends; in fact he really enjoyed it. He wanted them to be happy and be together so I had to be there for them and that was just what he was going to do. Haru raised his hand and banged on the door again. "Yuki! Open this door!" After three more times he heard a click and the door opened slowly. There stood Yuki, his hair a mess like he hadn't brushed it in days, his eyes were hollow showing no signs of the life they once had in them, and the aura that surrounded him was that of dread and pain. "What happened to you?" Haru asked as he pushed his way into Yuki's house.

Yuki stumbled back and leaned against the countertop of the island in his kitchen. His eyes were focusing on the floor and his voice was low and weak when he spoke. "I haven't been getting a lot of sleep lately."

"I can see that." Haru studied his friend. A week ago he was looking down and out, but now he looked like he was on his last leg of life. Like he could just let go of his life at any moment. Haru reached out a hand to comfort his friend, but Yuki flinched away from him and took a few steps back. His eyes shot up to Haru, wide with fear. "Yuki…I wasn't going to hurt you, just pat your shoulder." He took a step toward his friend. "What's going on with you?"

Yuki looked away from Haru. "It's nothing. Sleep just hasn't been too kind to me lately, that's it. I swear."

Haru sighed. He knew his friend was lying to him, but he couldn't force him to say anything. He pulled a seat out and sat down at the table. He motioned for Yuki to sit and he followed suit. He slumped into the chair next to Haru, exhaustion written on his face. "Yuki, I want you to know I'm here for you." Yuki didn't respond as Haru spoke. "I'm your friend, and I know something is bothering you. I can't force you to say anything, but I think you need to tell me. Maybe if you do I can help you out and then this whole mess will be behind you." Yuki wouldn't look at him. "Yuki, please. Whatever you're going through, I can help you. Lean on me. I'm your friend. I will help you whichever way I can." Yuki held no signs that he was going to respond to Haru's request. He looked around the house, something felt different about it, but Haru couldn't tell what it was. His eyes landed on Yuki. He was a shell of his former life and Haru didn't know how to fix that. A sigh escaped his lips as he stood to leave. "No matter when, or where I will be here to listen to you Yuki. I'm here for you." Once he was at the door Haru turned around to add, "Kyo was the one that told me to keep an eye on you." Yuki's head popped up at Haru. "He was worried about you, but he knew he couldn't do anything for you so that's why he's staying away. He thinks that whatever is wrong with you he has a part in it so I asked me to take care of you until you could go back to him. I love both of you; I don't want to see anything bad happen to either of you." Then he left Yuki's house leaving a teary-eyed Yuki sitting alone in his empty house.

Once Haru was outside of Yuki's house of pain he let out a deep sigh. His chest was hurting because of Yuki. Haru could tell that something was very wrong with him, but he couldn't place it. It hurt him to realize that he might not be able to keep his promise to Kyo if Yuki didn't start to open up. Even if that was the case Haru would always be there just in case. He decided to spare some time to visit Kyo and tell him what was up.

Kyo answered the door, a cup of coffee in hand. He didn't seem exactly thrilled to see Haru, but happy nonetheless. "Reporting in," Haru said. Kyo moved to let him in the house after an unfamiliar car passing on the road caught his attention.

"Please let this be a happy report," Kyo pleaded as he joined Haru who had made himself comfortable in the living room. The grim look on Haru's face told Kyo the truth. "Is he taking care of himself?"

Haru shook his head. "He doesn't look good at all. Like he hasn't eaten a decent meal in days and he's not sleeping well," Haru answered. He leaned back and stared up at the ceiling. "I don't know what's going on with him, but it might be killing him slowly."

Kyo cupped his face in his hands and started to rock himself slowly. "There is something so wrong here, but I can't figure it out!"

Haru turned to his friend. "We have to figure this out before we lose Yuki forever. Think back. Do you remember anything that could help us figure this out?"

A guttural sound erupted from Kyo's throat. "What do you think I've been doing all this time?! Just sitting back and relaxing, waiting for Yuki to come back for me like it's no big deal?! NO! There hasn't been a day that I haven't sat for hours, all day most of the time thinking about what went wrong! I keep thinking it's something I did, but I can't think of anything. I can't stand it! I've gone over every instance from when Yuki started to change, but I can't put any of the pieces together. It doesn't make sense Haru. I can't do this. I'm falling apart. It's killing me not being able to figure this out…" Kyo's voice started to fade out as his voice lowered to a dull whisper that Haru couldn't even hear.

Haru leaned over to comfort his friend, and then saw tears sliding through the fingers hiding his face. His once masculine friend, so easy-going now hurt, was breaking inside and it looked as if his whole existence was shattering. "None of this makes sense," Haru said staring out with unfocused eyes.

Once Haru was out of Yuki's house Yuki completely broke down. His head collapsed into his hands and he fell to the floor in a crumpled heap of erupting emotions. "…kyo….Kyo….I'm so sorry. I'm sorry that…that I'm worrying you, but I can't….I…I just can't let you find out…." More tears spilled from the inner depths of Yuki's soul as all his pain started to rise to the surface.

"Can't let him find out or won't let him find out?" Akito cut through Yuki's outbreak. He stared down at the mess on the floor and crossed his arms. "Are you sure you just don't want Kyo to find out just what a little slut you are? Waving your ass in front of any man you want to please you. Kyo just wasn't enough for you was he?"

"Wrong!" Yuki shouted at Akito. His face was smeared with tears, but his eyes bore hatred that tried to rip right through Akito. He stood up to face him, steadying himself against a chair. "I can't let him find out about any of this. You threatened me with him. I have no idea what you will do to him but I know what you're capable of and I will not let Kyo succumb to that! I'm going to protect him from you! That's the only reason I'm doing any of this so you can't touch hi-!" BAM! Yuki was forced to the ground by a sudden punch. The taste of blood swirled around his tongue and his jaw went numb.

Akito glared down at Yuki with no amusement. He caressed his fist that had shut Yuki up. "I don't like it when my things talk back to me." He stood over Yuki and reached down to grab a fistful of his hair. "The only reason you do this is because you like it. You want me. I can tell every time I fuck you. You enjoy the things I do to you. That's why you didn't stop things when Haru came to the door. You finished out and then went to let him. You could have told him then. You could have had him take me down. 'A stranger in your house' is what you could have pleaded, but you didn't. So admit it, you like it."

Yuki was hearing everything Akito was spitting at him and he knew that the worlds held some truth, but something was pulling at him that told him things would have been different than that. He didn't tell Haru because he wasn't sure how to explain anything and he was afraid about everything. He needed more time to sort it out. He knew he had to stop this, but he wasn't sure how he could without anyone getting hurt.

Akito wasn't satisfied with Yuki going quiet and slammed his head against the floor. "Since I've had my fun I'll take my leave now." Akito left Yuki crumpled on the floor. To take care that Haru never saw him, he always had to sneak around Haru's house and walk down the road a ways to his car. This time he had to run to make sure Haru didn't see him. As he drove past the houses he looked down and caught Kyo staring up at him. Akito threw him a sneering look as he drove past.

! #$%^&*()! #$%^&*()

A week had passed, but it had felt more like a month with everything that had happened. Akito had continually met with Yuki, Haru was still trying to look out for Yuki but he still couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. Akito was just a little too good at avoiding him when he would go for a Yuki visit, but he was never shy to just "appear" at Haru's front door when he wasn't completely satisfied. Haru started to get a little tired of Akito's random appearance so he took off for a day to go spend some time in town. He walked up and down The Strip all day, stopping by the arcade near the bottom before he left to play a little Skee Ball. It kind of reminded him of the first time Yuki came to The Strip with Kyo and it put a little smile on Haru's face for the first time in awhile.

To keep up with a good attitude he decided to stop in and see the girls on his way home. It was about time for a drink, and it had been a while since he had just relaxed with the girls in a long time.

"Well, look at who we have here girls," Uo greeted Haru as he walked through the door. "I do believe there is a stranger in the bar." A few of the locals cracked a smile around their open bottles.

"It's good to see you too Uo," Haru said with a smile as he took a seat at the bar. It was still early and not many of the "bar" crowd had shown up yet. "Where are the other two at?"

"Oh, am I not good enough for you Haru?" she asked as she leaned against the counter seductively exposing her cleavage and curving her back.

Haru smiled. "Oh you're more than enough for me to handle, but I can't let you have all the fun."

Uo stood back up and walked into the back room. A few seconds later three of them walked out. Tohru greeted him first with a hug. "Oh, Haru! I'm so glad to see you! It's been way too long."

"Ha, trust me. I know it has. That's why I stopped in to say hi and touch base again. Even though we're neighbors I never really see you guys ever."

"Yeah, we've been getting a little busy here at the bar, and we're also trying to remodel the kitchen," Tohru answered.

"Really? Sounds fascinating."

"Oh, shut it," Uo said. "It's turning out pretty cool. You should come over tonight and see it. We'll stay up a little later and drink a bit. Like the good 'ole days."

"That is music to my ears," Haru answered. "I'll stay till close." Haru was ecstatic that the girls invited him over, this is just what he needed, to get back to his old life and just relax in it a bit. Tonight he would leave everything that had happened over the last couple month at the door and not worry about it.

Since it was still early Haru had to spend a few hours in the bar, so he decided to converse with some people and help out the girls a bit to help pass the time. Before he knew it they were closing down the bar. Haru followed the girls back to their house. Not bothering to drive his vehicle down the street to his house he parked at the girl's house. Haru spent a couple of hours with the girls. They sat around on their back porch drinking, talking, laughing, and just having a good time.

"You know what would make this even better?" Tohru asked.

"And what is that Tohru?" Hana asked sitting up in her seat.

"If Kyo and Yuki could join us." Tohru answered looking down at her drink. She started playing with the straw.

Haru looked up from his chair. He saw how sad Tohru was and he knew it took a lot out of her to bring them up after everything that had happened. "Yeah, that would be really nice."

Uo stared over at Haru. "What is going on with them? I thought they were just fine, but lately, I don't know. It all seems strange. I never see them anymore."

Haru took a drink, then put his head back and stared up at the starry sky. A few grey clouds were slowly moving across the open sky. "Even I'm not sure what's going on with them," Haru answered. "All I know is that there is something going on with Yuki, and none of us know what has caused it. He started distancing himself and now, when I go check on him, he seems like he's not even taking care of himself." He sat up and looked at the girls. "Kyo asked me to look after him since Yuki is ignoring Kyo at all costs, but I don't know how much I can do if Yuki won't even let me in."

Tohru walked over to Haru and brought her arms around him as she sat on the arm ledge of the chair. "I'm sure everything will get worked out soon. We still don't know much about Yuki's past, maybe it's something like that. We just have to be his friend and be there when he needs us." She turned Haru's head to look at her. "Trust me, you'll know when he'll need you even if he doesn't come out right and say it."

Haru smiled up at Tohru. Even if she was a simpleton, she knew what to say at times like this. He leaned into her embrace before Uo had enough of the sappy talk and busted out the rum. Her excuse: "It's time to get loose!"

It was a little after three in the morning when Haru decided to go home. He left his truck in their driveway and walked the little way to his house. Haru fumbled around in his pocket for his keys and when he found them he had to study each key to try to find the right one for his house. This was a pretty difficult task to do as he was walking. When he found the key he looked up and saw a figure. It was moving slowly and walking away from him. He didn't think anyone would be up at this hour and decided to follow the figure.

When he walked closer he watched the figure walk down the half circle drive way toward Yuki's house. The black figure had disappeared when he got under Yuki's driveway cover and Haru hurried down to his own house to see under it, but when he finally got close enough to see in the dark the figure was gone. He was really confused; he knew he had seen someone. His eyes searched Yuki's house, no light was emanating from it. He tried to shrug it off and go inside, but something wasn't right. Since he had a few drinks he tried to shake it off as being a paranoid drunk and let himself into his house. He threw his keys on the side table and walked into his bedroom, slamming himself down on the bed. He was tired and needed sleep, but every time he closed his eyes he had a vision of someone letting themselves into Yuki's house. Bad thoughts and scenarios started to reel in his head.

A few minutes later Haru found himself staring at Yuki's front door. The lights were still off, that he could see. He held his finger in front of the doorbell for a few seconds thinking that what if he was wrong and Yuki would just be mad at him for waking him up, but those thoughts were pushed aside as he knew he was just being a concerned friend. He pushed the doorbell. Silence answered him. He rang it again. Silence again. He wanted to turn and go back to his house, but something was pushing him to go inside. He tried to the door, it was unlocked. This was very strange to Haru and he let himself inside.

The house was dark and quite, a little too quiet to Haru. "Yuki?" he called into the darkness. No answer. "Yuki?" He walked around the island in the kitchen and stared down the small hallway that led to Yuki's room. The door was closed. "Yuki?" He walked a little closer and then he heard a murmur coming from the room. Haru's heart started to beat a mile a minute. A sinking feeling filled his chest when he was outside the room. He looked down and saw a soft glow coming from under the door and trying to force its way through the carpet to be seen. Another murmur from the other side of the door sounded and Haru opened it. "Yuki?" The sight before him made Haru freeze with sorrow.

"Come on in Haru," Akito commanded as he continued to shove himself deep into Yuki. Yuki kneeled in front of him on all fours. His mouth was gagged with what looked like underwear and his eyes were wet. He tried to hide his face from Haru, but Akito grabbed his hair and kept him up and looking at Haru. "Oh, god, yes Yuki. You're squeezing me so tightly. You must loved to be watched. It just makes me want to thrust more into you."

Haru backed into Yuki's closet doors. "What the hell are you doing Akito? What is this?"

"Oh, I guess no one got around to telling you Haru. I was using you to get close to Yuki," Akito said. He leaned back and sat down on the bed, bring Yuki with him. He spread Yuki's legs to give Haru the whole show. "You see, before Yuki moved here he and I were a thing. The problem was that Yuki couldn't handle me. Ended up getting a restraining order and going to a whole lot of trouble to avoid me, even moving away, but I found him. Isn't the right Yuki?" He turned Yuki's head and kissed him hard. Yuki's eyes squinting tightly and tears rolling out of them.

"So, you followed him here?" Haru asked. "Then why even bother getting in touch with me?" Haru's eyes were threatening to let loose tears of his own.

"Oh no Haru. I really did call you up the first time because I was coming into town, but when we ended up fucking I saw that your neighbor was my precious Yuki." He thrust into Yuki again. "After seeing him, even though I thought I had moved on, all those lingering emotions came right back and I knew I had to him again, but I couldn't just go over to his house, so I decided to string you along for the ride so I wouldn't get bored."

"But…but why would you? You're making Yuki miserable! He was happy with Kyo, why did you have to rip them apart?! You ripped all of us apart!" Haru screamed at Akito.

"I did what I did in the past. I threatened my Yuki with the truth. If he told anyone I would hurt him and them. I don't like to share my things. Isn't that right Yuki?" He thrust into Yuki again and again.

Yuki was completely silent this whole time. He was mortified that Haru was watching this whole thing, but he was too weak to fight off Akito. His embarrassment and pain that ran through him made him still and silent as Akito told Haru everything. Yuki knew this had to hurt Haru. Haru seemed happier when he thought he had someone again, but now his whole life was shattering again. He dared a look at Haru. Tears were brimming in his eyes, but he didn't look sad, he looked pissed. He wanted to run to Haru and tell him it was going to be all okay, but he knew he couldn't. He couldn't even believe his own lie himself.

"You fucking bastard!" Haru had, had enough of Akito's bullshit. He didn't want to hear anymore. He knew this was wrong; he had to make it stop. Without warning he lunged at Akito. Haru grabbed Yuki and threw him off the bed and got on top of Akito. Akito was fighting back, he didn't want to lose his play thing again. "Yuki!" Haru yelled as he tried to get a good hit on Akito. "Go get Kyo! Call the cops! I need help and you need to get the hell out of here!"

Yuki was stunned. He was shaking where he landed on the ground. He couldn't believe what was happening. His body didn't want to move though. He was weak and he didn't know if he could walk, let along run. "GO!" Haru yelled again. "NOW!" As Haru's voice sounded in his ears it seemed to give him the push and strength he needed to run out his door and go get Kyo.

As he faced the door, he didn't hesitate. Yuki took both fists to the door and started to bang and slam against the door. "Kyo! Kyo please! Haru needs your help!" Yuki yelled through the door. Suddenly a light popped on inside the house, but Yuki didn't let up.

When Kyo opened the door Yuki fell into him and kept yelling at him to go help Haru. Kyo was confused at what was going on and why Yuki was there naked. He grabbed Yuki's shoulders and made him look at him. "What is going on?" Kyo asked looking into Yuki's tearstained face.

"Haru needs your help; you need to call the cops! Please Kyo!" Yuki said as he wrapped his arms around him.

Kyo was still confused and led Yuki into his house. He wrapped a blanket around Yuki and put him on the couch. "Where is Haru?"

"My bedroom," Yuki said. "Now go! Now!"

There were so many questions running through Kyo's head, but he knew he would have to ask later. He pulled on a shirt and grabbed his phone as he ran over to Yuki's house. "Haru!" Kyo yelled as he burst through the door. He ran through the house and into Yuki's room. There was Haru, cradling a man who Kyo didn't recognize. "Haru, what is going on?"

"I know it's really stupid of me, but I still have feelings for him," Haru said and he pulled the unconscious Akito closer to him. "Kyo, please call the cops about an intruder in Yuki's house."

With more questions pilling into Kyo's head he still was able to push them aside and just do as he was told. "Yes," he said into the phone. "I need to report an intruder at my neighbor's house. No, he was subdued by another neighbor. Yes. Thank you." When Kyo got off the phone he leaned up against the doorframe. "You going to explain all this?"

Haru nodded. "I will, but Yuki will have to put in his two cents as well. Where is he anyway?"

"Laying down on my couch. He seemed really shaken up," Kyo answered.

"Of course he would. This guy is the reason why Yuki has been acting strange. He's been raping Yuki constantly and threatening him with our lives is he told. He was trying to protect us, the fool."

Anger flashed through Kyo's amber eyes. "Everyone owns me an explanation after all this."

! #$%^&*()! #$%^&*()

The rest of the night was filled with talking to cops and Akito getting arrested. Akito had broken a restraining order along with all the other criminal acts he committed so a court date was set for his trail. During that time until the trial Yuki stuck to Haru, Kyo still tried to stay away and let Yuki have some freedom away from his personal hell. He still wasn't sure about what was going on between them, so until the trail was over Kyo left Yuki alone.

At the trial Akito was convicted of violating a restraining order, rape, and breaking and entering. The judge did not go lenient on him and gave him the max for each account that he was tried for. This gave Akito 50+ years altogether, with no probation. For the first time in a long time Yuki felt relieved and safe.

When the trial was over Kyo caught up with Yuki. It was time to figure out what was going on with them. "I just don't know," Yuki said.

"I know," Kyo said. "I know that you've been through a lot and today is the first day in months that you probably feel safe. This whole thing just makes me mad at myself for not being able to be there for you and that's what I want to do now. I just want to be with you and keep you safe."

Yuki looked into Kyo's eyes for the first time in a long time. He saw that fiery spark that he fell in love with was still there and all he could do was smile at Kyo. "I do want to be with you again." He took Kyo's hand in his; the warmth from Kyo seemed to course through Yuki's body. "But right now, I need some alone time. I don't want to jump right back into this. I want to start over again. Can you do that for me?"

Kyo looked deeply into Yuki's eyes and smiled. "Nothing would make me happier, friend."

Yuki smiled back and leaned in to give Kyo a kiss on the cheek. "Good."

! #$%^&*() One Year Later #$%^&*()

"Haru! We brought the side dishes!" Uo called as she walked onto Haru's porch. "The burger and dogs smell pretty good."

"Do you not believe in my grilling skills?" Haru asked poking the metal tongs at Uo. He then pointed toward a table. "Put the side dishes over there." Uo stuck out her tongue, but still listened.

"Hey, where are the other guys?" Tohru asked.

"Oh, they should be over soon enough," Haru answered.

"They are bringing pie. They better show up," Hana said glancing over at their houses.

"Haha! Don't worry Hana, I'm sure they will show up," Uo said leading her friend over to the drink table.

"Dessert is here!" Yuki called over the group. When the four turned to acknowledge him they saw Yuki holding a pie in one hand and holding the hand of Kyo with his other.

"Yay! Now we can eat!" Tohru said grabbing a plate and a bun. "I'm starving!"

Yuki placed the pie down next to the girl's side dishes and grabbed a plate himself and he started to talk with Tohru. Kyo grabbed a plate as well and Haru poked his shoulder. "Dinner smells great Haru," Kyo said.

"Glad you think so," Haru said. "So, is everything okay with you two?"

Kyo smiled. "Never better. Everything seems to be okay with him now and I for one couldn't be happier."

Haru smirked, "I bet not."

"You better not be talking about me," Yuki said as he joined the conversation.

"I wouldn't think of it," Kyo said with a smile.

Yuki smiled up at him, then grabbed Kyo's shirt to pull him in close for a kiss. It wasn't very deep, but it was special. "I love you," Yuki said.

Kyo answered, "I love you too." Giving Yuki another kiss, this one slightly deeper than the last.

"Get a room you two!" Uo yelled across the patio.

"Oh don't worry," Kyo answered. "We will later." The group of friends just laughed and smiled. They were all happy that everything worked out for the better and their friendship couldn't be stronger.
