Disclaimer: I do not claim to own anything in this little piece of writing. It all belongs to the Japanese guy that Cho (Kool-Aid goes: ^ ____ ^ I know to much stuff for my own good) told me about. I can't remember his name at the moment…

Kool-Aid Addict: Well put. FYI, his name is Kazuki Takahashi (See? If I can do that offhand then there is actually a reason why I'm doing terrible on my summer homework. Even brain cell holds some YGO info and some Kenshin. :D) and I don't own it either. Though considering the shape it's in in the USA/Canada/wherever it's been dubbed, I don't want to. In Japan, fine. But nowhere else.

To random anyoma….anyano…..unidentifed reviewer (J ): It will not be graphic, though Jeadin might decide to do that it later chapters, or rewrite of chapter 1 or 2 later. (Though being her best friend, I doubt she will.)

Chapter Two

Pain. All she could feel was pain. The pain of being raped, the pain of losing her virginity to a friend, the pain of guilt, and the pain of shame. Shizuka had been left in that gazebo like an old sock. Bakura had finished with her and fled like the wind. She tried to put her clothes on. They were strewn all over the gazebo where Bakura had tossed them aside. She only partially succeeded and fell down in exhaustion. She couldn't move another inch because of the searing pain. 'What if Jounouchi doesn't come looking for me? What will I do then?' she thought in terror. 'Will I die here?'

She burst into tears at the very thought of never seeing her brother and Yugi again. She couldn't let that happen. Shizuka painfully got up and struggled to put on the rest of her clothes. She unlocked the door to the gazebo and stumbled out into the rain. 'If I could just make it across the yard to the main house and call Jou,' she thought, 'Then I would be safe from …..' She dreaded what would happen if Bakura came back before Jounouchi got there. She trembled at the thought. She ran as fast as she could across the lawn without falling, trying to reach the main house, but she couldn't make it. She tripped over a tree root and fell. The last thing she remembered before blacking out was hearing someone in the distance calling her name.

* * *

"Shizuka!" called Jounouchi through the rain. "Shizuka where are you?"

"Shizuka!" yelled Yugi. "I don't see her, Jou. Maybe she took a wrong turn or something because she's not around here."

"She must have taken the shortcut route home then if she's not here. You know her, she would want to keep her clothes dry and all." Jounouchi cut through the yard in front of him. Yugi followed muttering to himself.

"The turn's up here I think."

"Yep." They turned onto the road full of mansions and started calling for Shizuka again but to no avail. Soon they came to the crossing by the house with the gazebo.

"Shizuka!!! SHI-ZU-KA!!!!!!" called Yugi.

"I don't see her anywhere, Yugi," cried an aloof Jounouchi. "I hope she's ok," he said as he surveyed the surrounding area. "Wait… what is that thing lying on the grass over by that blue house?"

"It looks like a body."

"Holy sh**!! It's SHIZUKA! What happened to her? What's all over her pants?"

"Blood……….," whispered Yugi.

"Holy crap!!!! F***, we got to get her inside somewhere real quick, Yugi." Jounouchi looked towards the houses on the road. He highly doubted that any of them would ever let two kids and a blood-covered girl in, even just to use the phone. They might even think that they had harmed Shizuka. Jounouchi had nothing to do other than wait. Wait for some sort of help. 'What help?' he thought angrily, 'Nobody ever drives down here but the richies.' Just as he was about to give up and carry Shizuka home himself, he heard an engine.

"Look!" cried Yugi, "It's a limo."

'Just great,' thought Jounouchi.

"l'll flag it down." Yugi sprinted towards the street, stuck out his jacket and waved it like a flag. The limo pulled over. The door opened and Kaiba strutted out.

"Well, what have we here?" Kaiba exclaimed in a soft voice. He glanced around to see Jounouchi leaning over his unconscious sister. "What a touching sight."

"KAIBA THIS IS NO TIME FOR GAMES!!!" roared Jounouchi, "CAN'T YOU SEE MY SISTER IS IN TROUBLE??"

"Don't you yell at me like that, Katsuya!" barked Kaiba, "I came out to help, not to fool around with you." He walked over to Shizuka and Jounouchi. "What happened to her?"

"Well, I'm not sure exactly," explained Jounouchi "She said she would walk home herself because she didn't want to go the doughnut shop with me and Yugi. After we were finished, we went to Yugi's. All the sudden we got this call from Shizuka's mom saying she wasn't home yet and asking if we know where she is. We decided to go out and look for her. We found her lying here on the lawn."

"How did you know she would be around here?" asked Kaiba.

"This is our shortcut route that we use when Shizuka needs to get home fast. We didn't see her anywhere near the normal route, and she wasn't in any of the houses we knocked on. I guess she didn't want to get her clothes wet or something. It isn't the safest way home, especially for her, but me and Yugi are usually with her when she does go this way." Kaiba snorted.

"I told you to watch out for her, Katsuya," he reminded Jounouchi. Jounouchi eyes narrowed suspiciously.

"Since when are you so concerned about the well being of my sister?" Kaiba glared back at Jounouchi. "Don't you get any ideas, Kaiba… I don't want you messing with my sister." They both looked like they were about to explode in each other's faces.

"Guys!!" yelled Yugi, "STOP!! Look at Shizuka! She needs to get somewhere fast!!" Shizuka was getting paler by the minute.

"Here, put her in the limo," said Kaiba. Jounouchi lifted Shizuka into the limo. Yugi and Kaiba climbed in after them.

"Put the heat on high, driver," commanded Kaiba. Immediately, the limo felt like a tropical paradise. Kaiba moved Shizuka closer to the heat.

Jounouchi looked around inside the limo. He was impressed. It had everything one could want in it: a mini bar, TV, DVD player, the latest in entertainment. 'Well, duh.' he thought, mentally kicking himself. 'I'm only in a limo that belongs to one of the richest people alive.' He looked over at Shizuka. She looked so beaten in the light of the limo, so vulnerable.

Shizuka began to revive. She moved her head up to see exactly where she was. 'Limo…. Yugi, JOU!!! and……. Kaiba? What in the world…. ' She felt so confused. Then it dawned on her that this must be Kaiba's limo. But why would Kaiba pick up her, Jou and Yugi in the rain?

"Shizuka! Shizuka! Are you ok?" cried Jounouchi, his voice full of brotherly concern.

"No," she croaked.

"Drink this," ordered Kaiba, handing her a mug of green tea. "It will help you feel better." She got up and took a few sips of the hot drink. She just sat there for ten minutes sipping her tea in quiet.

"What happened?" asked Jounouchi, finally breaking the silence.

"Oh Jou…………" Shizuka sniffed.

"Who did this to you??"

Shizuka teared. "B..B..Bakura," she wept.

"BAKURA?!?! Oh he's gonna get it…. What did he do to you?"

"He…… he……" She stopped, unable to go on.

"He … what?"

Silence… "He……. He……… he raped me," she whispered.

"HE WHAT????????" Jounouchi bellowed. He looked as if he would jump out of the limo and hunt down and kill Bakura.

"Oh, Shizuka," Yugi said in a comforting voice. "If only we had been there…"

Shizuka started to cry even harder. "Please don't talk about it to anyone," she sobbed, "I am too ashamed."

"Don't be ashamed, Shizuka," said Jounouchi "We're going to take you home now, ok?"

"Oh Jou………" He tried to hug her, but she shrugged away from him. "Please don't do that. It reminds me of…… of him." She kept sobbing. "Please don't take me home. I won't be able to explain it to mother. She will think you have been an irresponsible brother… and I a disrespectful sister." (Note to Benri; she already thinks that)

"We can go to my place," offered Yugi, " Jii-chan can help."

"Oh, thanks Yugi," Shizuka sighed, "But I don't think I could explain anything to him either…"

"We'll go to my house then," stated Kaiba, "There's no one around to ask any questions, so she doesn't have to explain anything if she doesn't want to."

"Shizuka, is that ok with you?"

Shizuka nodded and fell back on the limo seat. 'I wonder why Kaiba is doing all of this…He usually isn't this nice…'

A/N: Well, there it is! I hope you all like it. There is much more to come!! I'm always open to any suggestions you might have regarding grammar issues, style, characters, plot… whatever you feel like helping me on.

Kool-Aid Addict: God knows I'm not the one to come too for that…all my stories star Yami Bakura in a good light. OOOO! Suggestion for you Berni. Do Bakura's POV. The good one! See what he thinks. You could make it angst for him cause it is his body that did it. Even if he wasn't there. =stops and thinks= OOO! =evil grin= I'll tell you later.

Jeadi: Thanks to Shizuka for reviewing the story ^__^. It was really nice of ya to do that.

Kool-Aid to Shizuka: I've noticed that you put me on your favorites list. I just wanted you to know that this isn't me writing this story. I'm against any romance of any kind. Except, of course, Haisis/Dmetri in one stories about Ancient Egypt. And though I read some of this stuff sometimes, I'm mostly against it.

Kool-Aid Addict: To…um…Oo…..}? Uh ha..both of us are only 13. Wait….Jeadin is 14. {Sorry Berni…heh…I forgot your age there for a minute.} But if your looking for something like that, I now an author that does that stuff. If you go to my favorites list it's called 'The Runaway' or just 'Runaway'. Well, something with Runaway in it. I just cleaned out my list so there are only 11 there. Then click on the authors name (which is really long) and then volia! Rape stories staring Bakura (good one). But let the record state that the one on my list isn't like that. J Yep, I'm pure.

[Just making sure, the new title of the story is the 'The Gazebo'. The summary is: "Shizuka took a shortcut home from school and ends up being traumatized by a friend (or is it….). With the help of her friends and the unexpected kindness of another will she be able to move on with her life?" Or something like that, if you can think of anything just shout it out!!!!___!_!___!_! {OK!}

PS This might get to that Shizuka/Kaiba romance thing I was planning on doing…. It depends where I want to go with the story…]
