There will be rape in this chapter.

chapter 3

"Come on Shinta, please go to sleep," me and Kauru keep pleading to our youngest son. He is crying in his crib, refusing to let sleep take over his little body. "Daddy, who's crying?" asks Yahiko as he walks into the room, rubbing the sleep from his little eyes. "It's your brother, son, you know that babys have a hard time falling asleep," I say to him calmly. "Why does he have to ruin everything???? Me and Laurel can't sleep you know!!" he yells, making Shinta cry even louder. "Yahiko, you can't yell when your around your brother!" I say to him annoyedly. "I can't do anything around that brat!!!!" he yells. "Yahiko!!!!! Watch your mouth!!! He's your brother and you should love him!!!" Kauru yells to him. "HE'S NOT EVEN MY BROTHER!!!!!!" yells Yahiko. "Yahiko, what are you talking about? He is so your brother, you have the same parents!" Kauru says worriedly. "No he's not, I'm adopted, I don't even know who my parents are!" Yahiko says shadely as he walks out of the room. "Kenshin, do you think he'll be ok?" Kauru asks me. "Hopefully, he knows that we will always be his parents and that we love him," I reply.

"Yahiko!?!?!? Where are you!?!?!?!" we are calling to our son. He has gone missing, preferably he ran off after he got mad at us. "Hey guys, whats going on?" we hear Sano's voice call. Kauru ran up to him. "Sanosuke you gotta help us!!! Yahiko ran off and we can't find him!!!" Kauru yelled to him. "What!?!?! Of course I'll help you find him!!" Sano said. "Yahiko?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? Yahiko where are you!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" everyone was yelling for our middle child to show himself. About a half hour into our search, I realized we wouldn't be able to find him on our own. "Kauru we've gotta have the police help us," I say to my wife. "You're right Kenshin, but just make sure of one thing for me," she replies. "And whats that?" I ask her. "Get Saito, I know he's not exactly your best friend but we really really really need someone that we know," she says. "Sure thing," I say to her reluctantly.

"Please Saito!!!! You've got to help us!!!" I was yelling at my least favorite police officer. "Why should I help you Battousi?" he asks. "Saito this is not some fun case that we can take a leisurly time with!! My son is MISSING!!!!" I yell the final word quiet loudly. "Really Battousi? He's really your son?" Saito asks. "Yes. Why do you think I'm looking for him?????" I scream. "So he has your flesh and blood? Kauru gave birth to him?" he asks quietly. "..." "No answer? I thought so," he says chuckling. "Saito, just help me find my son dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I yell. "Ok ok, I've got your back Battousi," he says.

"We need back-up, we have a possible crime scene on tenth avenue," I hear Saito say over the walkie-talkie to the other police officers at the station. I run over to where I hear the commotion, I tell Kauru and the others to stay behind. I see the worst thing ever. My son, Yahiko, laying on the ground completely naked, blood coming out of his mouth. I practically faint but keep my ground. "Saito what happaned?????" I ask worriedly. "Well he's not that far from the house, so I'd say that he went to run away but was raped on his way out. He's still alive but he's seriously injured, we'll take him to the rape center, get some semon samples from his bottom, and send him to the emergency room." Saito concludes. I feel a little bit better by the comfort in Saito's voice, me and him had never exactly been the best of friends but he was always there when we needed him.

"Hey Yahiko how you doin?" I ask as I walk into his hospital room. "Hi Dad," he says quietly, his back is facing me and he's laying towards the window. "Yahiko, the police wanna question you on what happaned, that they do," I say quietly walking over to my son. "Is it that hard to figure out? I was mad, I walked outta the house, I was raped, what more is there to it?" he asks, obviously still in a deep depression. "Well, Yahiko, they wanna question you on why you were angry and walked outta the house, and about who raped you," I say. "Fine whatever, I don't care anymore," he says, I hear his voice crack from holding in tears.

"So Yahiko, why were you mad at your parents?" asks the police officer named Martina. "Because, they're all about my new brother, they never pay attention to me anymore, I'm not even allowed to come sleep with them when I have a nightmare anymore," he replies angrily. I realize that he was right, we never let him do anything anymore. I feel guilty but I have to listen to the rest of their conversation. "Ok, can you explain to us what your rapist was like?" asks Martina. "Yea, I can describe him in two words," he says. "And what words are those?" asks Martina. "Uncle Sanosuke," answers Yahiko quietly. I turned my head around so fast that I almost got whiplash. "But Sanosuke was helping us look for you," I say in defense of my best friend. "That's cause he didn't want to look suspicious," Yahiko said. "Son, why don't you tell me what happened?" asked Martina said. "Ok, it all started....."

flashback this part is in Yahiko's POV

"No he's not, I'm adopted, I don't even know who my parents are!" I had said shadely. I walked outta the room. I went into me and Laurel's room to tell her not to tell Mommy and Daddy where I went, she promised and I walked outta the house. As I walked outside I felt a hand wrap around my mouth, I tried to scream but it was not helping with the persons hand over my mouth. The person threw me into his car and drove all the way to the other side of town, to his house, I recognized the house immediatly as my Uncle Sanosukes. I looked over to the man and saw that indeed it was my Uncle Sanosuke. "Uncle Sano, your not gonna hurt me are you?" I had asked. "Just shut up brat, it will hurt, but it will hurt less if you just do what I say," he had replied to me. He brought me inside and threw me on the bed. He ordered me to take my clothes off. I did what he told me, I didn't understand why he wanted me to be naked, but I listened. I was scared, but I obliged to everything that he said. He pulled his own clothes off, I saw that his penis was longer than mine, that made me scared. He told me to stand on my hands and knees, I did, I wouldn't have if I had known what was to come for me. He pulled closer to me, and thrust himself into my opening. I cried out in pain, he told me to shut up. I held back as much of the tears and painful cries as I could. He pulled himself outta me for the most part, I thought it was over but he thrust back into me even harder than last time. I could sense that he was getting much pleasure from this, but it was hurting me badly. "Uncle Sano, please stop, it hurts," I had pleaded. "Shut up brat," was his only reply. After repeating this process five or six more times I felt something warm spray into my body, then he lay down on top of me, then he started to rub my penis, it felt good but wrong, I started to feel sick. I started to cough up blood from him thrusting himself into me. He continues to rub me until he sprays again. By that time the blood was pouring out of my mouth, then I blacked out. I woke up next to the dojo. I heard people calling my name, I tried to call back but there was dried blood in my throat and I couldn't say anything. I waited, thats when I saw Saito and then I blacked out again, I woke up here in the hospital.

end flashback back to kenshin's POV

"......and that's how it happened," he finished. I felt so sorry for not believing him, with the great detail he put into it you could tell that he was not joking. I couldn't believe that my best friend had raped my son. Sano had been my best friend since before my first fight with Aoshi. I fell down on the floor and cried. "Daddy, what's wrong? I know that I was raped but I should be the one crying not you," my son had said to me. "I know Yahiko, but its a sad thing. It's hard for me to believe that your Uncle Sano did it, he's been my best friend for years now," I had replied to him. "I know Daddy, but you have to understand that some people seem better than they really are," he had told me. "You know what Yahiko?" I had asked him. "What Daddy?" he asked back. "Your very smart, beyond your age, most people your age that are raped give up immediatly and cease to live, but you were strong, and you kept your life in your own hands, you didn't let him take your life. And that's what makes you a great person Yahiko," I said to him. "Thanks Daddy," he said, smiling for the first time in the amount of time, five months, that had been since he was raped.

The police arrested Sanosuke today. He is going to be put on trial. Yahiko has to testify and re-tell his story. We are all nervous, Yahiko is still young and very scared in front of audiences. We got the best lawyer we could find. His name was Julian Matsuoto, and he was the best lawyer around. Kauru is gonna bring Laurel and Shinta to Ms. Megumi's house so that she can watch them while we are at the court house.
