Please Come Back to Me by Yaoi Girl

About fifteen minutes after Takeru had left his house, he caught up with Ken, both boys acknowledging the other with a glance as they continued to run and stare at the blinking dot on their D-3s.

For at least three miles they ran before they came to an old abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town, an old shipping dock on the ocean.

Takeru climbed up on some old crates and peered inside, wiping some of the dirt off the window to accomplish this, Ken looking up and waiting for a response as to what was going on.

"He's here," the blonde managed, climbing off the boxes. "I don't know if he's alright or not, but he's in there."

"Call the authorities and I'll go get him," Ken said, fearing what would happen if Takeru did go in and something wasn't right with Daisuke.

"No. I'm going in; you call the authorities and my brother," Takeru ordered as he tossed the cell phone at the violet-eyed boy.

Ken mumbled "kiotsukete' (be careful) to the blonde as he silently slipped into the building through a hole in a wall, then called the police and Yamato.

Hiding behind some stacked crates, Takeru peered around the building to see if anyone else was there, but found no one, so he crept over to the unconscious boy, looking this way and that along the way, just in case.

Daisuke looked like hell; he was asleep with his back against some crates, his shirt gone and shorts torn, chest and face bruised, lip busted open, his hands handcuffed to a chain that was attached and wrapped around several wooden boxes.

Kneeling beside the boy, Takeru cupped Daisuke's cheek, staring at him sadly when the boy quickly awoke and was ready to scream until he seen who it was.

"Ta…Takeru! How…?" The auburn-haired boy didn't get to finish as he passed out from sheer exhaustion, that and not having eaten since the night before.

The blonde took off his jacket and wrapped it around him, not moving from the boy's side until the police and an ambulance arrived.

"I'm sorry, but you can't come with us," a paramedic told Takeru as they put Daisuke on a stretcher and hauled him to the ambulance. "I'm sorry," she went on as she seen the pained expression come to his face.

Ken came over and hugged the boy sympathetically, who willing returned the embrace as he cried into the boy's shoulder.

"It'll be okay now, Takeru. You saved him, and before you know it, he'll be back to normal and just the same Daisuke you always knew."

"It wasn't just me…thank you, Ken. But you know that won't be true… Who knows how long it'll take for him to be at least somewhat normal. He looked horrible, Ken. I just know that someone raped him, and it may not have been just one person. It'll take him a long time to heal from that," the blonde said as Ken's hand ran gently through his hair calmed him down some.

Soon after the ambulance left with the injured boy, Yamato arrived, then Taichi soon after.

The older blonde looked at him, confused as they stood in between the police cars and the building. "I thought you couldn't leave Hikari?"

"I asked the neighbor lady to look after her," he replied, not meeting Yamato's eyes.

Ken and Takeru were now seated on the ground, the blonde having fallen asleep and Ken unable to support both their weight standing up.

Yamato leaned down and scooped his brother into his arms, cradling him like a small child. "Thanks for helping, Ken. Do you want me to walk you home?"

"That would be great," the violet-eyed boy said as he stood and dusted himself off somewhat.

"You coming too, Taichi?"

"Yeah, I guess so…"

With that, Taichi, Yamato, and Ken started to walk to the Ichijouji residence, the brunette and blonde taking turns carrying Takeru, as his weight cause their arms to go numb after a while.

"What's wrong, Ken? You're being really quiet…" Taichi said as he glanced at him.

"It's just…I wonder if what Takeru said is true…about Daisuke being raped…" the keeper of kindness mumbled as he stared at the sidewalk, hands jammed in his pockets.

"Don't worry. Daisuke will be fine in a week or so," Yamato said with a strain as he took his brother back in his arms.

"Physically he will…but his spirit will take a long time to heal, if it ever does."

The rest of the way to Ken's apartment, they walked in silence, the younger blonde waking up, Ken and Takeru begging Yamato to let the keeper of hope stay the night.

The younger chosen children won the fight and Taichi and Yamato began to walk away from the building.

"So, do you want me to walk you home too?" the blonde asked, staring straight ahead of him, hands in his jacket pockets.

"Actually, I was wondering if I could stay the night at your house," the brunette said softly.

"Sure."

"You're still not too sure about this, are you?" Taichi asked as he looked at Yamato's profile.

Yamato shook his head. "I'm sorry, Taichi. It's just…I've never been in a relationship, so I don't know how to act or what to expect…"

"Neither have I, so we can take things slow and learn together, okay?"

The blonde closed his eyes, smiling and nodding his head. "That's fine."

"I wonder how he's doing…" Takeru murmured as he stared at Ken's bedroom ceiling from his futon.

"You're really worried about him…Daisuke should be glad to have a friend that's as caring as you," Ken said as he rolled over and stared down at Takeru from his bed.

"I don't know how much of a friend he'll consider me as when I get to see him…"

"Why's that?"

The blonde said nothing, simply closing his eyes and sighing.

"He should be glad to have someone as loving as you, too," the violet-eyed boy said as he rolled onto his back and closed his own eyes.

"I'm glad to know I have at least one friend that understands what I feel," Takeru said with a small smile before eventually falling asleep, dreams of Daisuke in his somewhat peaceful mind.

There...this was for all you people that e-mailed me and complained that Daisuke shouldn't die...it's not like I was gonna kill him anyway. ^_^ Anywho, I hope you enjoyed it!
