Kira smiled as she watched Rei cross the finish line again. She cheered as he zipped closer. He slowed to a stop in front of Kira.
"Things will be different now that I'm making my own money," said Rei smiling as he pulled off his helmet. "I bragged to Dad that I didn't need his money anymore and now it's the truth.
Kira smiled for the first time since her miscarriage.
"Now we can get doctors that know how to handle things better. We'll have as many kids as you want," said Rei. "Our love will be nonstop."
"I never want to lose a baby again," said Kira her heart swelling in joy over the prospect of several children.
"Now you can finally go to art school and become an artist," said Rei smiling.
Kira smiled back and gave him a warm embrace. Their lives would be perfect from now on, at least that's what she thought.
Kira stood in her new art class painting a different version of mother and child. Instead of being inspired by the good times with her own mother this one showed her wish of motherhood. She stepped back and examined it. She accidentally bumped into the professor.
"I'm sorry," she apologized.
"That's okay. Your painting looks good Kira, but you need to be bolder with your shadows. Let me show you some paintings done by other fine students. I think they might interest you," said the professor. He led her to a separate room and shut the door.
Kira stood in awe. The paintings were all so amazing. They each expressed a different emotion while being subtle about it.
"Your painting isn't all that looks good," said the professor with a sly grin.
Kira turned to look at him and as she did he wrapped his arms around her. Kira screamed. She didn't know why she could never move or do anything. She always went into a shock.
"Calm down. I won't hurt you too much, in fact you might be grateful to get the pain over with. It always hurts your first time."
Kira tried to run but he caught her by her braided hair and she fell to the floor. He began yanking her clothes off. Kira shut her eyes tightly knowing what was coming. With Rei it had always been gentle, but this man wasn't Rei or even like Rei. He was like her stepfather. She struggled to get away.
He forced his tongue in her mouth. She gagged at the taste of beer. She gasped as he removed his tongue and almost retched as she felt another more unpleasant object placed in her mouth. Awful tasting semen filled her mouth. She bit down. The professor punched her in the gut causing her to double up in pain and retch.
He grabbed her by the throat and slammed her against the floor. He forced himself inside of her, thrusting in and out. She screamed in agony as she felt him harden within her. It felt like her insides were being torn apart. She felt the skin tear at her opening. She cried realizing he was too big for her and wished Rei were there.
He bit down on her breast tearing her nipple apart. Kira watched in shock as her blood poured. She screamed as he pulled himself out of her. She felt like he had dragged her insides out as well. Her insides burned and ached. He stuck his tongue inside her and bit deviously at her opening. She whimpered as she lay there exhausted and in pain from her struggle.
She watched in agony and disgust as the professor cleaned himself off and went back to class.
Kira used the last of her strength and darted to the bathroom. She carefully cleaned herself up, sick from looking at the steady flow of blood. She retched in the stall and carefully put her clothes on trying to keep the blood from soaking them.
She slipped into the classroom, got her sketchpad and slipped back out without anyone noticing.
Rei took the drawing after sneaking up on her. "Hey, it's not that bad."
"Rei," Kira whispered urgently looking up at him.
He took a second look at the sketch. "Damn. Oh my god, Kira..." He scooped her up into his arms and carried her to his motorcycle.
"This won't do. Rest here, I'll be back." Rei lowered her slowly to the ground. Kira winced but lay there since it was all she could do to remain consciousness. Her stomach hurt intensely and all of her muscles felt strained. She waited there in the heat for what felt like forever until Rei picked her back up. She whimpered lightly as he held her.
Rei carefully put her in the front seat of a car. "I'm borrowing Tatsuya's car," explained Rei as he got in.
Kira didn't care. She was glad to be safe with Rei in anyone's car.
"Who raped you Kira?" asked Rei softly as he sped towards their apartment.
"My professor," whispered Kira. "I feel so dirty. I'm sorry Rei. I've always wished I was pure for you."
"It's not your fault, it's that idiot pervert's fault."
"I still think I should've screamed louder, struggled harder or something," said Kira softly.
Rei looked over and saw tears in her eyes. "There's nothing you could've done, you were in shock."
"I should've been stronger," cried Kira.
"It'll be all right. We're home," Rei assured her as he lifted her up.
"Rei," Kira gasped.
Rei followed her gaze. "God Kira," he said seeing the blood on the seat. His face paled.
Kira trembled and held on tightly to him. The pain was unbearable. She kept her eyes tightly shut, crying as Rei took her inside. She almost screamed when he removed her clothing but realized she was safe with him. He lowered her carefully into bathwater and slowly her muscles started to relax.
She looked up at Rei and noticed his face was paler.
"The water," he muttered looking away.
Kira gulped and looked down at the bloody water. She screamed and grabbed onto Rei as he pulled her out.
Rei carried her down the hallway and set her on the bed. He gently toweled her off.
"May I look?" asked Rei.
Kira nodded weakly. She moved her legs apart slowly, wincing as she did. She felt she was going to fall apart. She cried out as Rei delicately spread the flaps of skin to examine her.
Rei gasped. "I'll kill him! He destroyed you Kira!"
Kira wiped tears from her eyes. "I'll never be able to have children now."
Rei turned of the light and held her gently. "It'll be okay. I'll take you to the doctor tomorrow."
"No!" cried Kira. "I don't want someone prodding me like that. I'm afraid Rei. What if he finds out I told and comes back to kill me?"
"He won't, he'll get his punishment. Now try to rest some," said Rei. "Rei, you are my knight in shining armor," said Kira quietly. She whimpered and brushed away tears. He whispered comforting words into her ear until she fell asleep. Then he quietly slipped out.
