A Love before Time
Chapter 3- Nightmares Reawakened
It was an hour after Omi had left Tsashi's side that Aya suggested someone check on her. Of course Omi was the one they all looked at. He took the hint and went to check on her.
"Do you think it was a good idea that he did that?" Ken asked.
"It's not like we could've stopped it, Ken." Yohji said. "He's got a fling for her."
"She's supposed to be under our protection, not for Omi to become involved in. Kritiker won't like this." Aya said crossly.
"True." Yohji added, nodding his head.
Omi burst into the kitchen panting heavily. "She's gone!"
Everyone stared blankly and looked at each other.
"Shit." They all said simultaneously.
Tsashi had been given a pair of Nagi's pants to wear since he was the only one close enough to her height. The shirt she donned was one of Farfarello's. She sat near a window, and starred out of it at the busy streets in the distance, hugging her knees to her chest. Why did this have to happen to her? Hadn't she been through enough in her life? She didn't need to be hurt again. Getting hurt again would cause her to lose her last bit of sanity. The little bit she clinged on to was all she had left.
The girl jumped as the door was opened. It was Nagi, the boy who had been the kindest to her since she had been abducted. In his hands he held a tray with food and a drink on it. He stared at her blankly as he seemed to wear the expression all the time. Tsashi looked at him and he walked over to her and set the tray down next to her.
"Thank you." She said softly.
He nodded.
"What's going to happen to me?" she asked.
"I don't k now." He said in a monotone. "Anything from here on is up to Takatori and Crawford, not me."
"Is that one called Scheldich really going to hurt me?" she asked nervously.
"I don't know. I never know what he's going to do. He's a disgusting pig!" Nagi said, still in his monotone voice, but she could tell he didn't like what he would do.
She nodded and he left her to her thoughts and to eat her meal. It was small, but not a bad meal. It was a TV Dinner of a chicken patty and mashed potatoes and corn. At least they won't starve me, she thought.
Nagi returned a short while later to retrieve her tray. She hadn't eaten much. Her stomach wouldn't allow it. A few bites of chicken and mashed potatoes were all she could manage.
"Crawford said you are allowed to take a shower in the morning." He told her.
She nodded not really listening.
"I'm sorry." Nagi said sympathetically.
"For what?" she asked quietly.
"For whatever happens to you."
"Thank you." She said giving him a small smile.
The younger boy actually made a small smile as well before leaving with her tray.
Scheldich stopped Nagi about four feet from the room occupied by Tsashi. He chuckled at him. Nagi tried to ignore him and keep walking, but of course Scheldich just had to be an ass.
"You're sorry for her?" he asked. "That's a first."
"Shut up."
"Oh, but it's so cute!" he cackled. "I mean, you never feel bad for any one else that we have killed, but now you have found a girl you think is hot, who by the way, is older than you, and you suddenly have an emotional break down! That's comical!"
Nagi growled, "I am not having an emotional break down, Scheldich! I could care less!" With that said Nagi marched off down the hall, scowling at Scheldich before going down the stairs.
Scheldich chuckled again, then opened the door to Tsashi's room. She was starring out the window and refusing to look at whoever had entered the room. He read her thoughts.
"Waiting for me, leiben?" he asked cockily.
She snorted at his comment. "Could you possibly fall off a large cliff?"
"No."
"Damn."
"Sorry."
"No you're not."
"I know."
Tsashi rolled her eyes even though he couldn't see it. She could hear his footsteps moving closer to her and blanched as she felt his hand on her back. She didn't move though, but she did start to pray.
"That won't help you, lieben." He said with a chuckle.
"Fuck you." She said. Tsashi had realized that he was a telepath early and it didn't bother her since she herself was a minor in that supernatural power.
"You will." He said in slick tone.
She blanched again as his lips touched her neck. Again she didn't move as he began to touch her and explore. She wanted to hit him and break his damn neck, but she knew that would be foolish considering he was stronger than she was and he had three other companions in the house.
Scheldich was enjoying himself immensely. His hands traveled around her body and he turned her to face him. She refused to look him in the eye, in fact she almost seemed apathetic to what he was about to do. But he continued any way. He was horny and needed something to screw. He removed her clothes, though she did try to keep them on with little luck considering he had a belt and used it to tie her hands together.
Tsashi was in another world. She felt everything. Heard every dirty word and horny phrase that came from his mouth. But her mind had traveled back into the past. Memories she wished she didn't have. Had pushed aside for years. But when those memories were being relived it was hard to keep them hidden.
The memories moved like a slow motion movie. She was 13, and she lived in Los Angeles. She had been seeing a guy that was friends with her cousin, his name was Quin and he was 17. She remembered him taking her to his house. He had told her how beautiful she was and how much she meant to him. That one-day when she was 18 they would move to Chicago and sing together in clubs and become famous rock stars.
She had believed every word, being young and impressionable. He kissed her like he loved her and held her like he cared. Then he asked if she would have sex with him. She wasn't too into the idea, but he said that if she loved him she would sleep with him. She had then plain out refused him, but he wouldn't take "no" for an answer.
Tsashi remembered him throwing her down and his body covering hers. He had touched her where no one else had. He had hurt her more than once. She had a scar on her left hip from where he had thrown her down and she had hit a spring that was sticking out of an old mattress. He had left her there when he was done. She didn't know where she was and had waited 'til morning before she left to find out where she was.
It was two days before she was back in her cousin's custody. She had told him everything and Quin was caught and put in jail for rape. She had gone to therapy for three years and still went to a counselor every once in a while.
Scheldich brought back these painful memories as she felt him touch her and move in her. Then it was over. He removed his body from hers and dressed. He untied her hands and left. She knew that if she lived after all this was over she'd be going to counseling for the rest of her life if this was going to happen more than once.
She dressed herself and then sit in the corner as far from that bed as she could get. An escape was nigh impossible she knew that. All she could do was wait and hope that the ones called Weiss came for her soon.
"How could she have been kidnapped?" Yohji asked.
"She was in the bedroom one time and gone the next." Omi said.
"Takatori." Aya said. "Schwarz must have managed to get in somehow. They're the only ones after her."
"Yeah, but how do we find them?" Ken asked.
"We have to get her back!" Omi said.
"Kritiker is contacting them as we speak." Manx said. "This never should have happened."
"We know." All four said. The other three was looking at Omi.
Omi took the full blame for the loss of Tsashi. He knew what they had done was wrong. But even worse, he failed to keep her safe. He had failed and she could be dead by now. All because of him! He couldn't think of all the things Schwarz could have done to her. It was too much for him. He fainted.
"Aya, you know that this could cause Omi to be removed from the Weiss." Manx said after Ken and Yohji had seen to Omi.
Aya nodded. "Yes."
"Kritiker can't have something like this happen. It's very unprofessional. But, seeing as how the search will need all four of you, he is allowed to finish this mission. After this he must report to Kritiker. They will decide what happens after this."
"I understand." Aya nodded. He shouldn't have let this happen. He had noticed the attraction between the two from the beginning. He knew he should have said something to Omi while he had the chance.
