"Here," Joey said handing Ryo an ice pack. "But this on your eye." Ryo took it gratefully. After two months he was getting use to Joey's violent outburst. And was learning how to avoid them, but not his time. He slipped up and said something he shouldn't have. And paid the price for it. "I told you never to say his name around me."

"I forgot. I'm sorry," Ryo said softly.

"Just don't do again." Ryo nodded. "Well since your eye is like that. Guess we can't go out tonight. Don't want people talking." Joey smiled at him. "So we're just going to have to stay in and find something else to do." Ryo cringed, knowing what that something else was. Joey began to kiss his neck.

A pair of lazy fingers laced through Dee's hair. "What are you thinking about?" Jason asked him.

"Nothing," Dee said, kissing Jason's hand. "I have to head home soon. You want to come by later?"

"Sure. That sounds nice." Dee smiled and nodded.

Dee entered his apartment, tossed his mail onto the coffee table and went into the bedroom to change. When he came out he began to go through the mail. He came across an envelope address to him. He opened it.

Dear Dee,
You may not remember me, but my name is Sally Hanson, I ran the outdoor bar near your hotel. You're probably wondering why I'm writing. Well, I'll just get to the point and tell you. Randy is in trouble. Big trouble. I know you hate him, a lot. But can you honestly say you don't care about him? I believe you still do love and care for him. He needs you. I'm afraid for him. Afraid of what Joey might do to him. I don't care how mad you are. Help him. Can you say you don't care if he dies? Can you? Because that is exactly what's going to happen if you don't get your ass down here and help him. Yes, Randy made a mistake. But can't you find in your heart to forgive him? Please, for his sake more then yours.
~Sally Hanson

Dee sat the letter down. Should he really go down there? Was she telling the truth? Or did Ryo ask her to write this. He had to find out. He called Bikky.

"YES!" Bikky yelled into the phone. "Go down there and get him. Do you really think Ryo would have her make something like that up? I don't. It doesn't matter how bad his fuck up was. It's reason to want him dead." Dee didn't say anything. Bikky had a point. But he wasn't sure he could do it. Seeing him meant, remembering what happened. He didn't want to remember.

"Fine. I'll leave in two days," Dee finally said.

"Two days? Leave tonight!" Dee paused. He looked at Jason who was waiting in the living room. "Two days. I promise." Bikky huffed. He muttered something and hung up the phone. Dee got up and headed into the living room. Jason kissed him tenderly.

"So what do you want to do?" Jason asked.

Dee took his hands and looked at him. "Just want to stay in. Is that okay?" Jason nodded he went to sit down, but Dee wouldn't let go of his hands. "Stay here for a sec."

"Are you alright Dee?"

"I'm fine. Great. Wonderful. Why?"

"Because there's something that's bothering you. I can tell."

"It's nothing I can't take care of. Okay? Um, I have to go somewhere in two days. Hopefully I'll be allowed to go."

"Where are you going?"

"I have something I need to fix. That's all. Don't worry about it."

*SLAM*

"What did you say to her?!" Joey yelled.

"Nothing!"

*SMACK*

"Don't lie to me!"

"I'm not!"

*SMACK*

"RYO! What did you say to her?"

"I didn't say anything I swear."

"I know you gave her Dee's address. Now why would you do that?" Ryo didn't say anything. Joey grabbed him by his hair. "Ryo, why would you give Sally Dee's address?"

"I don't know."

"You don't know?" He slammed Ryo's head off the wall. He fell to the floor.

"She said she wanted to write to him. I don't know why. I swear." He yelled as Joey's foot connected with his side. He grabbed a fist full of his hair and lifted his head up.

"Are you still going to lie to me?" Joey hissed.

"I'm not-"

*SLAM*

Joey grabbed his arm. "You know the consequences for lying." Ryo shook his head as he was dragged into the bedroom. He began to plead with him. He only got smacked. "Shut up whore." He threw him on the bed. "Joey, please. I swear I didn't say anything to her." Joey began to remove his cloths. "Please stop," he sobbed. Joey grabbed his face. "No."

Dee stepped into Rose's office. "Sir, I need to talk to you."

Rose raised and eyebrow. "What's on your mind?" Dee went on to explain everything that happened up to him receive the letter. Rose nodded. There was a long pause. "Bring him back," he said finally. "Go down there and bring him back." Dee thanked him and left.

He drove as quickly as he could to the airport. "Hang on Ryo."

The door to the bedroom opened and Ryo curled up. He sucked in a breath through his teeth as a hand caressed his back. "Guess I've been a little rough with you. Don't worry; I'm not doing anything else tonight. You just get some sleep and I'll see you in the morning. Okay?" Joey kissed him on the cheek. "Goodnight." He left. Ryo began to cry softly.

"Please let me die," he whispered. He pulled Dee's wedding ring out from under the pillow and put it on his finger. "Dee please. Help me."

There end another chapter. I just found out something from bn.com. Vol. 7 isn't coming out until May. I have to wait three months to get it. That sucks. Grr. I've waited too long for this. I have every vol. to date; now I have to three more months. They better not edit it, or I'm going to be super pissed. I came see all seven vol. online, but I can't read Japanese. Huff. Oh well. I hope you like this. I'm trying. Even though I've noticed mistakes I've made days AFTER I post a chapter. So for some of those errors I'm sorry. I'll try and do better on catching them before I post.
