Rei's brow was laced with sweat as he tossed and turned in his sleep. Salty tears mingled with this sweat.

"No please! Dont do this! The helpless figure struggled under the older and largers weight. Tears streamed down his bloody face.

"Dont worry my kitten, i wont hurt you anymore if you're good."

The elder man leaned down and licked his way up the blooded and bruised jawline all the while his erection brushing over the neko jins own. Rei sobbed quietly as the elder moaned, nibbled his ear and then moved his mouth down to his lips and prising them open. A hot tongue was thrust into the caverns of Reis unwilling mouth and it was here that Rei found the last of his courage. He bit down hard onto the mans tongue and drew blood. The man cried out loud in pain mingled with anger and was taken aback when Rei gathered his strength and threw the elder off him. He was naked as he hobbled to the door, but he didnt care. All he wanted to do was get out of there. Freedom at last. He flinched in pain and was thrown to the floor and then back handed roughly. Dazed, he looked up at the ominous figure above him. Reis body was already beaten up badly, and the pain was so bad that it had become numb, and he was sure his arm was broken. The figure advanced upon him, carrying something in his right hand. That something was a broken green glass bottle, and it glinted menacingly in Reis golden eyes.

"I think that the naughty kitten needs to be taught a lesson." Rei huddled into the wall and closed his eyes in defeat, and once more the sobbing began. In his head he thought of his closest friend. He thought of any civil human being or Neko-jin or anyone. All he wanted was for someone to help him, but he knew that no one would come. He opened his eyes and screamed as the bottle was brought down hard and fast toward him.

"Rei! Rei wake up! Come on kitten, wake up!" The pleading voice of Tala awoke him from his nightmare. He shot up, saw Tala in the darkness and backed away in a silent panic.

"Rei, hey, hey, its alright its me Tala, its alright." Tala lowered his voice and slowly drew the trembling boy into his embrace. Rei was reluctant at first, but once he knew he was safe, and that he was with Tala and not his tormentor, he calmed and was able to return the hug. He snuggled close to the warm body and began to cry again.

"Ssshhhh, its ok kitten, its ok. It was just a dream." Tala ran his hands through the soft raven locks of his friends hair soothingly.

"It was him again Tal, it was him! I hate this, why cant i just forget it and him? He cried. I remembered that i was calling out for help, i called for you Tala, but you never came...you never came...No one ever came." Tala stared guiltily down at his friend. Yes it was guilt, but it was needless guilt, as there really was nothing he could have done.

"I know Rei. im sorry, im so sorry. And dont worry, i understand. Something like that is hard to forget, but you will in time, and i'll be there to help you and make sure no one ever hurts you again." Tala replied. He heard a small sigh from the raven hair next to him and wrapped his arms protectively around him. A few minutes later, he heard a few muffled words from his companion.

"Will you stay with me tonight Tal?"

Tala smiled to himself and if possible, hugged him even tighter.

"Of course kitten."

A pair of crimson eyes blinked into the darkness in one of the high class dorm rooms at the college halls of residence. Kai lay awake, unable to sleep for thinking about a certain raven haired boy. He just couldnt escape the fact that he was extremely attracted to him, not that he wanted to forget. Rei was beautiful with his small, muscular, slightly feminine body, creamy complexion, silky raven hair and shining gold eyes. He was the most good looking boy Kai had ever laid eyes on, and he was desperate to get to know him. But there was something about him, as he had noticed earlier that day. He was definately hiding something about his past, and the dual hair wanted to know. It was going to be tricky, but Kai was detemined to win Rei's affections. He ran his hands over his brow and through his silver bangs, sighing to himself. Then turned over on his bed and closed his eyes. You will be mine kitten. He thought silently.
