20. Nightmares

(Takumi's POV)

„Is he still there?" I heard a hushed voice say.

„Of course he is, Yomi left, and obviously forgot." Another voice replied.

I saw two silhouettes come down the stairs that lead to the underground room I was held in.

I wanted to say something, but my mouth has been covered. I wanted to move, but my limbs were cuffed.

'Who's there?' I thought furiously.

„He'll be perfect. Looks like a girl almost. Others will be excited about him... He'll bring some passion to the game."

I wanted to scream for help, but even if I did not have that stupid piece of cloth around my mouth I wouldn't. I had no power to do so.

'I am thirsty.

I am starving.

I am unbearably exhausted.

Help me, someone.'

Before I could even notice it one of the men was before me. It only took one swift movement, directed to the right place, to knock me unconscious.

„NOOOOOO!" I screamed on a top of my lungs. My breathing was erratic, my heart was beating as if I just finished marathon.

My vision got blurry with tears. 'What was that?' I thought.

„Takumi? What happened?" I heard a worried voice of Yato right next to me.

Instead of answer I laid my head on his chest, not wanting, to ever again get from the bed we shared.

As his hand made soothing circles on my back, I started sobbing uncontrollably.

'I must be such a pain in the ass.' I thought bitterly.

Yet Yato stayed with me, rubbing my back, until I calmed down an hour later.

'What was that?' I thought as I've seen that Takumi finally fell asleep.

'What did he dream about? What kind of nightmare made him scream like that? Will he be alright?'

I was seriously worried about him. He seemed frightened when he woke up. I had no idea what caused it. He did not wake up like this any of the other nights, this was the first time.

'Was it because of what we did? He seemed to enjoy it.'

I recalled the events of last night. I imagined Takumi, squirming under me sweetly, all those sound he made, why was it that our first night together had an aftermath like this?

'Does he regret it?' A thought occurred to me. 'No, he's definitely the type to say so... So what did this night trigger?'

Then my mind returned to Takumi's past. 'What did it... remind him of? Maybe?'

(Takumi's POV)

I woke up again around noon, wrapped in Yato's hug. It was this hug that probably scared away any other nightmares that threatened to disturb my sleep.

I got up from the bed, and pulled the blanket over the still sleeping Yato lovingly.

'What would I do without him?'

I reached the kitchen, and decided to make something for him. As I grabbed the knife I felt a strange feeling overcome me.

An escapade of pictures flowed to my mind, and I started shivering wildly. I shivered so much that my teeth started chattering. I let go of the knife, making it fall with a loud noise, and slid onto the floor. Once I did so I pulled my legs closer to my body so I could rest my chin on my knees.

'What should I do? What if he knew?' As I hugged my trembling body questions about my new-found memories appeared one after another.

'If Yato knew, would he hate me?'

With this one, worst of my nightmares, cruising in my mind, I pulled some clothes on and ran from our love-filled nest.

Done~

I'm sorry it's short, but I simply don't have time and imagination to write something longer, also because of this it may take some time till I upload next time.

Hope you'll look forward to it anyway. I plant to spend about two more chapters on Takumi and Yato, just so you know. Then I'll probably somehow continue with the main story, intertwining it with their... (does that make sense?)

See ya ( "-.-)/
