Note: This chapter is most DEFINITELY not for the faint of heart. And if you have an aversion to sketchy descriptions (well, not that sketchy, but I'm not used to lemon scenes) of stuff, then you might wanna leave. This has sexual situations, violence, and threats towards a cartoon rabbit, but if you stuck with it this far, it shouldn't be too bad, ne?

One more thing; if you were looking for a happy ending...

... You came to the wrong place.

Delusions

Chapter 6:

Mortality (4 days after the last chapter)

Maximillion sat down on his bedroom chair mutely, a glass of wine in hand. He sighed, thinking, and took a small sip.

"Psst!"

He nearly spat it out again. A familiar voice chuckled behind him. He froze. It couldn't be... He slowly turned. It can't be... please, it can't...

It was.

Yami no Usagi stood, grinning at the silver-haired man. "Hello, Max." He said simply, rocking on his bunny heels. "Long time, no see."

Maximillion's eyes widened, and he took a step backwards. "Wh... What are you doing here? G- go away!" He stammered, his voice full of fear. Yami no Usagi frowned. "You... tried to get rid of me." He said calmly, sounding a bit hurt. "You and that broad, what's-her-name, Megumi. I hate her."

Maximillion Pegasus, the cultured, sophisticated millionaire, dropped his glass, climbed into his bed, threw the covers over his head and curled up, cowering. "Go away... Leave me a-alone..." He whispered. Yami no Usagi frowned again. "Hmmph." He said, pausing to think afterwards. A grin spread across his animated face.

"You stupid bastard." The black rabbit said, quite suddenly, in a completely different voice. It was suddenly older, less cartoonish, with a slight British accent. "Nobody loves you." He continued. Yami no Usagi went straight up to the now frozen Maximillion, yanked the covers off, and slapped him across the face. Maximillion broke down and began sobbing into his pillow. "You were a mistake." The rabbit hissed into his ear. "Your mother was a dumb whore. She killed herself to get away from you. I never wanted you. I wish I'd shot you at birth." Max simply sobbed harder, soaking the pillow cloth with tears. 

Yami no Usagi straightened up. He snorted contemptuously at the vulnerable figure on the bed. "I ask you to do one thing, one, and you screw it up." He snatched the pillow away from the man and lifted him up by the collar. "You good for nothing little cocksucker. You can't do anything right." Yami no Usagi spat at him. Before Maximillion could respond, if he would have, the rabbit shoved him back onto the bed roughly.

Max began crying again, falling face first onto the mattress. "No… F- father, please..." He whispered, knowing already that he wouldn't listen. "Silver haired little faggot..." Yami no Usagi said absentmindedly.  Maximillion turned and buried his face into the retrieved pillow.

A few moments of silence fell, broken only by Max's ragged breathing and the occasional sob. He felt a hand slide underneath the waistbands of his clothing, pulling them down a bit. Another hand unbuttoned his pants. His father had been leaning over him, his warm breath on Maximillion's neck. Yami no Usagi pulled both his pants and underwear down a bit further.

"If you expect to live in this house, you're going to have to be useful for something." The rabbit breathed into Max's ear again, He tugged the pants down firmly, sliding them to his knees. "You have to earn your keep." The rabbit concluded.

"No..." Maximillion whispered, memories flooding his mind as he relived his encounter with his father when he was 12. The rabbit had been caressing the pale, soft skin of Max's lower back. He had apparently gotten bored with that, as he stopped, leaning over the man's slender figure, and shoved two of his fingers into him.

Pain shot through him and Max screamed, clutching the bedspread with one hand. Tears coursed down his face. There were only two differences between now and the incident thirteen years ago, the first was that the other person had been, indeed, his father.

The second was that his father hadn't used his fingers.

Pegasus sobbed harder than ever for the next minute, until the rabbit finished. "If you ever speak a word of this to anyone, I'll slit your fucking throat." Yami no Usagi concluded. His father had then buckled his pants again and left. Yami no Usagi simply stood there, arms crossed, a lewd grin on his face.

After fifteen minutes, Maximillion caught his breath and fixed his clothing as best he could. "I... hate you." He managed to say to the overly bored rabbit, who was currently reading his diary. "Yeah, well, I hate you, too. Who cares?" The rabbit said, regaining his normal voice. He suddenly tossed the book over his shoulder and got up from the chair. "That was your punishment. Now, for that whore, Megumi..." Maximillion's eyes widened at this. "Don't you touch her!" He said angrily, getting up. Yami no Usagi smiled a bit. "I'm not going to do anything to her. You are." He stated simply.

Maximillion froze. The hell? "Yup." The rabbit nodded. "You'll be going to her house. It'll be a pretty summer day, and she'll be in those slutty shorts and that muscle-t you can see her bra in." Maximillion blushed a bit, and flexed his fists.

"She'll invite you in like an airhead, all sunshine and giggles, and you go in. She'll go and get some lemonade from the fridge, and you'll follow her in. 'Oh, hi again!' She'll say like the bubblehead bitch she is, 'I don't need any help, thanks.' And you'll grab her arms and shove her onto the table. And she'll go, 'Maxie? What's going on? Let go!'" Yami no Usagi did a mocking impression of Megumi. Maximillion shook his head as the images flooded his consciousness.

"Idiotic slut. Anyway, you'll use one arm to pin both of hers while you tear her shirt to shreds, and she'll be all, 'Ah! Let go! What's going on?!' But she doesn't call for help, 'cause she wants you, right? So you undo her whore shorts, and her bra, and you start playing with her breasts, right? And of course, she'll stop complaining and start moaning like a hentai slut. So you tear off her panties, and you take off your pants and stuff, and she's like, 'Ah! Maxie, let go, please!' I can't believe how she can be so slutty and still be a virgin…" Yami no Usagi speculated. He grinned wickedly. "You'll take care of that, though."

"So, anyway, she'll be all bitchy, 'till you start fucking her, and then she'll be all moaning again, and then you come in her, and she's all tired 'cause she's a virgin, but she'll start calling out for help, like 'Oh! Help! Someone! Get off me!' And she'll be crying and talking, so you stick your cock in her mouth to shut her up, and you make her suck it, and she can't breathe, but you don't care. Why should you? So she's choking, and you come again, and you make her swallow it, and she's all crying still, and you flip her over and-"

"NO!!!" Maximillion shouted suddenly, cutting off the rabbit's monologue. "I... I'll kill you!" He said. It was the only thing he could think of doing that would keep him from hurting either of them. Twenty-five years of torture was a lot, but he wouldn't let him hurt Megumi, too!  The rabbit looked at him appraisingly for a few moments.

"You can't, Max." Yami no Usagi said, finally. "To do that you'd have to kill yourself."

Maximillion stood there, staring at the rabbit that had been the bane of his existence for years. He had decided. He turned and walked through the door, heading for Kemo's quarters. He knew Kemo had to have at least one... He reached them after about a minute and opened the door.

The room was relatively clean, with a few magazines and things scattered around. A desk stood near the door and Maximillion searched through them frantically, until he found one that was locked.  He found a ruler and began to pry it open- the desk didn't have a very good lock. It popped open, splintering the wood a bit. He grabbed the item he was searching for and, pausing a moment to write something on a paper he'd found, rushed back upstairs.

Maximillion locked the door behind him, pointing the gun at a bemused rabbit. "You really are, then? You love your whore that much?" Yami no Usagi said, smiling broadly and chucking to himself.

"Shut up!" Maximillion growled, moving away from the door. When he was clear of the wall he began to back up until he tripped over his bed. The gun went off, the bullet burying itself into the ceiling.

"Tsk, tsk. Do you even know how to use that thing?" Yami no Usagi asked maliciously. Maximillion sat up, moving until his back was against the headboard. "I'm not going to listen to you anymore." He said, cocking the hammer.

"You can't hurt me, remember?" Yami no Usagi drawled. The doorknob rattled and Maximillion slapped the folded paper onto the end table. The rabbit's attention was caught when Max shoved the gun into his own mouth and gave him a smirk.

Maximillion had never been very vindictive, but he couldn't help but give the horrified rabbit a slight smile as he began to pull the trigger. He waved with his free hand lazily as the rabbit's eyes widened and he began to say something- much too late. Goodbye, you bastard rabbit.

See you in hell.

Amelié whistled cheerfully as she made her way towards Master Pegasus' room, a basket of laundry underneath her arm. The brunette had been having a relatively good day, as her sister had called and said that she could make it to the wedding. The brunette switched to humming as she climbed the stairs, the basket of clothing braced against her hip. She was just about to open the door when she heard a loud gunshot from inside. She jumped, caught her breath, and listened.

"I'm not going to listen to you anymore!" the muffled voice of Master Pegasus said angrily. What was going on? She rattled the doorknob, but he had apparently locked it. She paused, wondering what to do and who he was talking to, and was just about to shout when she heard the gun firing again. She became frightened.

"Master Pegasus?!" She called, knocking on the door. "Master Pegasus, are you all right? Master Pegasus!" There was no reply. She pounded on the door a couple of times before a hand slid the key into the lock and opened the door. She stumbled foreward and landed hard on the ground, the clothing scattering over her pregnant body.  The person who had opened the door said, quietly, 'oops', and helped her up. It was Croquet.

The two entered the room and took in the glass on the floor, the open diary a few feet away from the chair, the open drawer, the splinters from the ceiling lying on the carpet. Croquet held a hand back to keep Amelié from advancing and walked forward slowly. He turned, Master Pegasus' bed to his side, and his jaw dropped.

Master Pegasus was sitting on his bed, his head bowed. The entire back of his head had disintegrated, the flecks of tissue radiating out from behind where his head had been, forming a grotesque halo. A gun Croquet recognized as Kemo's was in his lap. Blood and brain matter were soaked in his silver hair, dripping onto the sheets, drenching his clothing. He was most certainly dead.

Croquet collected himself as best he could, inspecting the rest of the scene. There was no sign of a break in. He knew Master Pegasus hadn't taken his medicine recently, but...

"Croquet?" Amelié asked behind him. He whirled around. She looked worriedly at him, her fiancé. He looked so scared and surprised... She took a step towards him, to comfort him, but...

"Just stay there." He said quietly, holding a hand up. He spotted a folded paper on the bedside table and picked it up, unfolding it. He scanned it, re folded it, and left, his arm around Amelié's shoulders.

"Dear Megumi-chan,

"By the time you get this message, I'll be dead. The rabbit was going to hurt you, too, and I couldn't let him. I don't want you to get hurt... Because, the truth is, I love you. You're basically the only person who's ever been nice to me. You shouldn't get hurt just because you were nice to me... I won't let him hurt you... I hope you can forgive me for this.

Love,

 Maxie."

A tear dropped silently onto the paper. Megumi rested her head on her shoulder, wiping her eyes a bit. She whispered a short sentence before the tears overtook her, leaving her sobbing well into the night.

"I love you, too, Maxie."

Note: I had people pre-read this for me, but the pre-readers were retards (no offense to people with Down's Syndrome) and I've learned my lesson- I'm going to have my friends Mike and Chris pre-read it next time.

Fear not, my faithful readers! This may be the end of the main series, but it is by no means the end of this fanfic! I WILL continue! ^_^

Note: Added some... stuff. Sentences, exposition, crud like that. On to next chapter.     -1/28/2004, Warrior Kalia
