Hi again! I just saw the new Star Wars movie! It was good, but I think that they could have done better. The special effects were awesome, but they changed camera angles way too much and they killed off the cute little dragon like creature that Obi-Won was using as a mount. Poor dragon… I love dragons… moo…
Anyways, since this is my tenth chapter, it is the end!
Chapter Ten
Rikuo woke up early the next morning, stretched, changed, and went down to breakfast. "Is Kazahaya still upset?" He asked Kakei and Saiga.
"Apparently," Kakei said with a sigh, "He hasn't come from his room since Hana and Yuki left. His door's locked, so we can't check on him."
Rikuo looked puzzled. "I'll try talking to him." He said, "Save me some food." He climbed back up the stairs to Kazahaya's room and tried the door, which was locked, just as Kakei had said. "Kaza…" Rikuo called softly. He then pressed his ear to the door to listen. He was surprised when he was greeted by silence. He frowned and then knelt down to examine the lock. He quickly managed to pick it; it was just a simple lock. "Kaza?" He asked as he slowly opened the door. But there was no one there, only the open window. Rikuo rushed to it to se if the boy had leapt from it to his death, but found nothing below the window. "Damn…" Rikuo hissed, slamming his palms down on the window sill in frustration. He gave one last glare out the window before turning and descending the stairs again.
"Well?" Saiga asked as Rikuo pulled on his jacket.
"He ran away," Rikuo muttered, "I'll go find him. If I don't bring him back, or don't return by sun set, call the police."
He ignored Kakei's look of frantic worry and Saiga's calls for him to get back and went out the door.
"Kakei, Kazahaya will be fine; Rikuo is very good at finding things." Saiga said to comfort his panicking love.
It took hours of questioning shopkeepers and neighbors until Rikuo found himself in a district that seemed rather questionable. There were way too many hotels the which men, ranging from wealthy to dirt poor in looks, tempted scantily clad women into with fistfuls of money.
Rikuo shivered as he heard the sounds of grunts from a dark alleyway he stood next to. He started to walk away from the noises when he thought he heard one of the grunts sound like his name.
"Shut up about your damned Rikuo, you bastard!" Came a second voice, and then the sound of a slap and another moan.
The meaning of this quickly hit Rikuo and his eyes narrowed in rage. He turned and walked down the alley, quickly coming across the naked Kazahaya and the young man on top of him. Kazahaya's legs were up on the man's shoulders as the raper slammed forcefully in and out. Rikuo quivered in rage and then his leg lashed out, kicking the man in the side and knocking him from his naked stepbrother.
"Who the hell are you?" The man snarled as he attempted to rise and pull up his pants. Rikuo just kicked him down again, pounced upon him, and closed his hands around the man's throat.
"I'm Rikuo," Rikuo whispered to the choking man, "And when I let you up, you better either run like hell, or willingly tell me where you got my step-brother, understood?" He released the man's neck and he coughed and choked for air. "Since you're not running," Rikuo snarled, "Then you'll tell me who raped my Kaza-chan first."
"How do you…?" The man gasped.
"There's blood," Rikuo said, glancing at Kazahaya's body. A trail of dried blood wrapped around his legs. "It's too old for it to be you. Who raped him?"
"Tsuki," The man gasped and gestured at the building to one side of him. "Room 17,"
Rikuo nodded and then knelt by Kazahaya. "Ri-Rikuo?" Kazahaya murmured. Rikuo gently touched his face and then picked up the boy.
"You're welcome, bastard," The man muttered as he started to stand again.
"Yeah," Rikuo snarled as he kicked the man down again, "Thanks a lot for raping my step-brother!" He gave the man one last kick and then left him and then entered the apartments. He quickly found room 17 and kicked the door, since Kazahaya was in his arms. When the door was opened, Rikuo shoved his way in, lay down Kazahaya, and then turned to face the well-dressed man that the man in the alley had named Tsuki. "Are you Tsuki?" Rikuo demanded.
"Why?" The man asked.
Less than an hour later, Rikuo left the apartment, a clothed Kazahaya in his arms and a backpack filled with the money that his step-brother had taken with him as well as what the man in the alley had paid Tsuki for the time with him and some extra from Tsuki to get him out of his room. He had also used Tsuki's phone to call his home, Tsuki not being able fight since Rikuo had, first thing, kicked him around raging about his brother's condition, to tell Kakei not to worry, that he had Kazahaya and the boy was sleeping and that the two would spend the night in a hotel. Not wanting to spend the night in one of the dirty cheep hotels, Rikuo carried Kazahaya out of the district and to a safer spot, where he eventually found a rather nice hotel.
"Rikuo!" Came Kota's voice, "What are you doing here? What's wrong with Kazahaya?"
Rikuo turned at his name to spot his brother, who was over getting something from a vending machine. "Nii-san!" Rikuo said urgently. "Kazahaya ran away last night, he's hurt."
Kota looked worried as he rushed over. "What happened?" He asked, but stopped as he noticed Rikuo's I-don't-want-to-talk-about-it look. "We have an extra room." Kota offered, "I'll just sleep with mom and dad, okay?"
"Thank you," Rikuo said with a sigh.
Once up to the room, Rikuo shut the door tight and lay Kazahaya down on the bed. He was positive that the boy didn't want his father to know what had happened, so Rikuo would have to clean Kazahaya up, which meant giving him a bath.
Just kidding, there's more coming! But since it is the tenth one, I will respond to some of my comments!
SatoXDai/KazaXRikuou: D thank you! I'll try to update as much as possible!
Shijin: I love his new family too, and it just keeps getting better! I got the idea for the parent swap from someone I once talked to about Marmalade Boy. She said that she knew a friend who had a family that was like the one in Marmalade Boy, but instead of being a man and woman, the dads and moms married each other. She also told me how the girl is the only straight one in the house and that she keeps catching random people in her family making out, like her twin brothers.
Legaldruglover: I think I already mentioned this in chapter 8 or something, but I did try a triangle, but it didn't work. Also, I can't release the chapters all at once, or I'd have to work twice as hard. I'll release more chapters once summer starts. And don't worry; there will be plenty more love scenes. Also, about the rape, Kazahaya, and Rikuo, such a thing can only make them closer, ne? Thank you for reviewing so many times!
Kato-chan: Thank you! Though I personally think that my first few chapters are a little forced. I'm not used to writing fan fictions quite yet.
Trinidad: Thank you for all the reviews! And don't worry about the rape…Rikuo will eventually make up for not being Kazahaya's first. ;)
bofuu-no-fushimawashi: Thanks for the review! I find the scene pretty realistic. I mean, he's starting to question his sexuality, his stepbrother is flirting with him and teasing him, and he doesn't have a normal Mom/Dad family anymore. I think he should have attempted earlier; if I were him, I would have done it. I mean, just the fact that I'm bi almost drove me to suicide! Erm…yeah. Anyways, nope, I've never heard of Pierrot, but it sounds like something I'd like. I got Kota from Hand Off! because Kotarou is my favorite character.
moongirlSelene99: Yeah, everyone's mad that Kazahaya got raped…but I had writers block!
Anyways, thank you all for reviews! I hope to get more soon!
((Earlier little blurb thing)) I'm sorry for this chapter; I'm half asleep now…bleh…moo… I'm going to bed now, I'm so sleepy… I hope that you like the way that this is going. For those who didn't quite understand, Tsuki raped Kazahaya and then sold him as a sort of a sex slave to the other guy. I don't know what else to write, my brain just wants sleep. 'Night!
