The server is down so I might as well continue working on another chapter until it gets up LOL. I have to play catch up on the days anyway nn. Sorry about last chapter but don't think the story is going to end any time soon. This is just the beginning. I hope you enjoy this next chapter. This is going to be a short chapter.

Chapter Seven

Shuichi's POV

I move slightly on the bed feeling everything screaming from the pain. I can't take anymore. He should have killed me. I look around the room realizing that he's no longer there. My arms are free as I push myself up on the bed. Maybe if I lie right here I'll die from severe blood loss. I continue to lie on my stomach crying into the mattress. Death has to take me…I want it to take me this time. There is nothing more to live with.

Suddenly this sound rings throughout the place. What is that suppose to mean? I hear gun fire off down the hallway from my room. Maybe they are going to shot me now…that would be a dream. Just shoot me and get it over with. I have no idea where my sister is so they are going to have to kill me. "You hear me," I shout the loudest I can go which isn't much right now. "You'll have to kill me!"

The door barges open…all I can see is two little lights cutting through the darkness of my room. "Kill me," I say softly not moving at all. Shoot me in the back or in the head I don't care just kill me.

"There's Shuichi," I hear in what sounds like echoes.

"Oh god…what did they do to him?" another voice says.

These voices don't sound like Ralph or the "king." I try to get up and turn around to look at him. "Don't move, Shuichi," the first voice says again. It sounds familiar. I know that voice.

"We are going to carry you out of here okay?" says the second voice also sounding familiar.

"Please don't touch me," I say softly.

"Shuichi we have to lift you if you are going to make it out of here. We need to get you to the hospital," the second voices says.

I shake my head. "Leave me."

"We are not going to leave you here to die, Damn Brat," the first voice says lifting me up.

Damn Brat…Yuki calls me that. "Yuki," I say softly crying. He saw me like this…

Hiro's POV

I sit with Maiko who has slowly drifted off to sleep. At least she can sleep now. I look at the television watching this movie that I've lost tracked with. I just need something to distract my mind. Tonight is the day that they are going to find if Shuichi is alive or dead. I hope he's alive…Maiko would be so depressed if he's dead. I can't think that way…Shuichi is alive. He has to be.

The phone rings as Maiko jerks up from her sleep. I quickly grab it. "Hello," I say praying that it's K or Yuki calling to tell us good news.

"Hay, Hiro, it's Fujisaki."

"Fujisaki! Tell me you have good news."

"Yes and no."

"What's that mean?" I ask feeling Maiko gripping my hand.

"Shuichi is alive but he's in bad shape. They took him over to the hospital to get him help. Hiro…he's been raped, and he's lost a lot of blood. He wants to die. That's all he's been saying," Fujisaki says softly as I stare off at the wall. Raped…not again. He made it through the first time. He was defending Yuki of course, but I don't know if he would want to make it through again.

"What hospital?" I ask as Maiko squeezes my hand tightly.

"The general one…I forget the name. It's near NG," he tells me.

"Alright, we'll meet you there," I say hanging up the phone.

"What is it, Hiro? Is he okay?"

I look at Maiko and run my fingers through her hair. "He's alive, but he's in bad shape," I say repeating the same thing Fujisaki just told me. "He's been raped and beaten severely."

Maiko gasps holding her hand over her mouth and cries. "He'll be okay," I say wrapping my arms around her and rocking her. "He made it through the first time…We'll get him through this time."

"Can…Can I see him?"

"Yes, Fujisaki asked if we can meet everyone there."

"Did they get the guys who did this to Shuichi?"

"I don't know. Fujisaki just wanted to tell us that he's alive. Let's go to the hospital. I'm sure they will answer all our questions there," I say getting up and putting my jacket on. I help her into her jacket and walk out of Yuki's house making sure I locked it on the way out.

Sorry it's short. Just one of those transition chapters. Thank you for reading please review!
