No Longer Existing

chapter three: The Past of a Contumelious Relationship

It was a dark night and Akina decided to tell Yami tomorrow. As she got home, she felt unwelcomed. She knew that if she came back, there would be more torture and it would be another night in hell. She quietly closed the door, making sure Ryoki didn't hear her. She walked into the living room and saw Ryoki with a girl and beer bottles on the table. Luckily, he didn't wake up, but if he did, he would just ask for more money to buy more beer. And if Akina didn't give him, he would harass her.

Akina went to her room and changed. As she lays her body on the small bed, she remembered the times he had raped her. At first, Akina ran away from him, after she found out how abusive he got every time he began to drink. The first time she experienced his vituperous behaviour, she felt that it was useless staying. But the next day, Ryoki didn't remember anything and asked her to stay. "Please Akina. I didn't know. I don't know what I do when I'm drunk."

Obviously, Akina forgave him, feeling sorry. Ryoki had promised that he would stop drinking, but he had lied. He drank even more, knowing the bitter taste made hime relax and became a continuous habit. One night, she had found him, drunk. Akina came over and tried to help him. He said he didn't need help. Ryoki was about to kiss her, but the smell of alcohol had made her trun away. Ryoki became an outrage. Again, he physically abused her, the forced her to have sex.

Not knowing what happened that night, he apologized again and begged her to stay. She knew that if she gave him another chance, he would change, and everything else. But nothing changed. He would always drink and abuse her over and over again. Akina managed to runaway from him. It had been a couple of months and Akina's conspicious wounds were healing. She thought she was safe from excruciating pain because she had met Yami and was happy to be with him. But on they day of her sixteenth birthday, Akina was leaving to go buy food. There was a knock on the door and she had answered it. She was so horrified, that as she stumbled backwards, she fell.

"Happy birthday. Aren't you happy to see me?" Ryoki asked, coming inside, and closing the door.

"W-what are you doing here? H-ho'd you find me?" She was moving back, trying to drag herself as far as possible.

"I followed you before. I didn't want to make it obvious that I was following you. The only way to make it more exciting was to surprise you on your birthday."

"I'm very surprised. I never expected you to visit."

"Visit? I'm here to stay. It's my turn to find a place to live."

He was walking towards her and she wanted to get away, but she was too scared. Akina knew what he was up to. Even though she was sick and afraid of him, she had to let him do it because she knew there was no point in fighting or she'd get more beating. Akina had waken up extra early to leave without Ryoki knowing she left again. After changing and doing her usual things, she quietly exited through the front door. As she was walking tot the card shop where Yami lived, she had called him. Someone had answered and had a scruffy and quiet voice. "Hello?"

"Yami, I need to talk right now."

"Akina? Is that you? Why are you calling? It's almost four in the morning."

"Please Yami. Wait outside, of your shop. I'm almost there."

She hung up. A couple of minutes later, she had noticed Yami, standing outside. She called out to him. "YAMI! I'M HERE!" She was running towards him until someone yelled her name. Akina turned and was shocked the moment she looked. He was walking towards hher and by the time he reached her, he had slapped her, sending her to the ground. "It's not what you think Ryoki!" She said, holding on to her cheek.

"It's exactly what I think!" he yelled.

"Hey! Don't do that to her! She's a girl!" Yami yelled, running towards them.

"Stop right there! This is none of you business kid! You better stay away!"

Ryoki faced Akina. He was about to hit her again, but Yami pushed him away. "You shouldn't do that! Are you okay Akina?" He looked at her andin her blue eyes, he saw pain and sorrow.

"Yami! Watch Out!" She yelled.

Yami turned and was punched in the face, unexpectedly. "I told you to stay away!"

He was close by and he seemed more furious. "You better go away Ryoki."

"Who's gonna make me?" He chuckled.

"I am! I'm tired of being so hurt Ryoki! Do you even know what it is to love?"

He stopped and seemed to be thinking. It was as if he was himself again. "I do love you..I still do."

"No you don't. Just because your life turned upside down with losing your job and drinkin alcohol, you forgot how it is to love someone. You don't even care. I bet you'd still drink more even though you promised me you'd stop."

"I still care about you. It's just- "

" You can't help but imagine alcohol or beating the hell out of me is the only solution to everything. You can't even remember anything that you've done."

"Just give me one more chance. I wanna prove to you that I'm worth it."

Akina began tearing. "I-I just can't anymore. I'm tired of wasting my feelings for you," She looked at Yami and helped him up. "You can't expect more chances Ryoki. I thought that if I did, you'd change. But it's hopeless."

"I don't know what is wrong with myself Akina. I still love you."

"But it wasn't what I expected."

"Yeah, I understand why you found someone new."

"If you'd love someone more than ever, then you'd understand more better. I'm sorry Ryoki."

"You shouldn't be the one apologizing. I should. This was all my fault," Ryoki wasn't walking away. "I guess I shouldn't interfere with your life."

"Wait Ryoki!"

"I've done enough damage."

"I know, but we can work it out. It'll be like old times."

"No! How do you know if I'll stop? Plus, I can't stand having to abuse a girl I loved. Just like you said, I don't deserve another chance."

"I guess this is it. I guess we won't be seeing each other anymore."

Akina and Yami walked, until they heard Ryoki say, "It depends, Akina. It depends."

Akina was rejoiced to know he was trying to be himself again. Although, Akina had another problem occuring, besides this abusive relationship...
