Chapter 5

"She beckons me, shall I give in?"

-Evanescence

Pain, it was the only thing Tyson could feel. He was in that state of mind between awake and asleep, but even there he could feel the pain coursing through his head as he tried to fall back into oblivion. As the pain grew stronger the more he could feel his surroundings. He was lying on something soft and silky, and there was something soft and warm on him, but it was also heavy. Squirming under the weight he opened one eye, then in a shock, opened them both and stiffened.

Lying on top of him was none other than Kai. The dual haired boy was sleeping peacefully and had his arms wrapped protectively around Tyson's waist. Too terrified to move, he stayed perfectly still and waited for Kai to wake up and leave. Why was Kai there anyway? Wasn't he mad at him for trying to escape?

Mumbling incoherently in his sleep, Kai began to stir. He felt the warm, soft body beneath him and buried his face into the smaller boy's hair and inhaled the sweet scent that he loved so much. He didn't have to open his eyes to know it was Tyson beneath him as he held onto the boy tighter. Allowing himself to breath so the injured boy wouldn't get suspicious of him, he could fell Tyson stiffen even more when his hot breathe hit him. Nudging his head affectionately against the other boy's, Kai huskily breathed out, "Morning. How are you feeling?"

Trying to get his breath back, Tyson attempted to wiggle out of Kai's grasp but found it futile and gave up with a sigh. A new wave of pain rushed over the younger boy when he settled down. He winced. "I'm fine," Tyson cursed mentally at how weak he had sounded right then.

Kai finally opened his crimson eyes and stared at the beautiful boy who was hurt. Growling deeply, Kai pulled Tyson closer to him. "Don't lie to me. I can see the pain in your eyes." Feeling Tyson quake in fear underneath him, Kai stopped what would have turned into him yelling at the poor boy and looked at the boy beneath him. Seeing unshed tears of pain, fear, and confusion in the younger boy's eyes he leaned his face closer to the boy's. Waiting for the boy to adjust to the closeness Kai began to lick away the tears hidden in the corner of Tyson's eyes.

Tyson's fear and pain disappeared and all that was left was confusion. Why was Kai doing this? Wasn't he mad at him? Question after question filled Tyson's mind and Kai must have sensed it because as the thoughts went deeper he bit Tyson's neck to get the boy's attention. "Don't think, just feel." Nodding his head unsurely, Tyson allowed Kai to continue with his signs of affection.

Finished with licking away the smaller boy's tears Kai moved down to Tyson's neck. Kissing it affectionately he stroked Tyson's luxurious hair. The small light kisses would be followed by a lick here or there but no biting, and that was when Tyson realized what Kai was trying to do, or more precisely, say. It was Kai's own way of showing he hadn't meant to hurt him and he was sorry. Relaxing Tyson forgot everything that had happen and let Kai continue showering him with affection.

Feeling Tyson relax Kai felt his own body relax with the other boy's. Moving lower to the small boy's chest he continued with his soft raining kisses, making Tyson try to hold in a laugh when he was tickled. Everything was fine until Kai began to suck on one Tyson's nipples.

Gasping Tyson was hit with all his memories of what had happened and realized he was only wearing his pants and Kai, who knew something about his brother but wouldn't tell him, was trying to molest him. Any feeling of happiness that had been in Tyson faded quickly and he tried to push Kai off him, but didn't succeed.

When Tyson began to struggle Kai slightly pulled back and looked at the boy's now angered face. He knew this was going to happen sooner or later, but he would have preferred the blue-haired boy to remain with him in their own world of bliss before reverting back to anger. Getting off of his injured angel he left the room saying over his shoulder, "I see you're still not ready but trust me, you will be mine."

Max paced around nervously in the room he had been given as he wondered how Tyson was doing. It had been days since the boy had been knocked out. It was driving him insane, since Rei and Kai wouldn't let him see his friend. Running his hand through his blond hair, Max quickened his pacing as he grew more anxious at the thoughts of what they could be doing to his best friend.

A laugh stopped Max from continuing his pacing. He glared at the person who had so rudely interrupted him. An amused Rei sat on the same chair he had been sitting on when Max had woken up his first day in the mansion. Placing his hands on his hips, he gave the cat-like boy a scowl. "And what may I ask is so funny?"

Chuckling at Max's scowl Rei simply stated, "Cute." Taking a step back and getting into a defensive stance, the blond eyed the other boy warily.

Chuckling again, Rei stood up from his seat and walked closer to the smaller boy. "You look cute when you try to be intimidating and when you pace." As Rei got closer Max continued to walk backwards until he felt his back pressed against the wall and a surge of panic flooded his body. Placing a hand on each side of the blond Rei made it impossible for escape and leaned in closer to the boy. "So cute in fact I think I could just eat you up." Faces only inches apart, Rei licked the blondes cheek.

Squirming Max tried to get out of Rei's hold but he was trapped. Looking up at Rei with fear shinning his eyes he thought, Oh Kami, this is it. He's going to rape me. Rei lifted his hand away from the wall and moved it closer to Max, making the blonde shut his eyes and tremble. Please don't let it hurt. Why is this happening? Why does he want me so much? I'm not special. Oh please Kami, don't let it hurt.

To Max's surprise Rei gently touched his cheek and began to stroke it tenderly. Unconsciously leaning into the touch Max opened his eyes to stare into Rei's golden ones. "Max," Rei said softly, "I don't want to hurt you so you don't have to be scared. I could never hurt someone like you." Taking Max by surprise once again Rei grabbed the boy and pulled him into a warm and protective embrace.

Blushing Max stuttered, "What are you talking about? There isn't anything special about me. What could keep you from hurting me? I'm just an average kid," a sad smile spread across Max's face, where a warm smile could usually be found. "Okay maybe not so average. I mean how many kids get kidnapped? Then again, Tyson and I basically let ourselves get kidnapped. I'm so stupid."

Staring determinedly at the blonde Rei said firmly, "You're not stupid, and you are special." Max shook his head, causing Rei to growl with annoyance. "Alright, I'll make you a deal. I'll not only give you free run of the mansion, but I'll also stop trying to mate with you until you're ready, in exchange you will stop saying those things and," A sly smile made it's way on to Rei's lips, "I can kiss you whenever I want."

Pondering what Rei said Max came to the decision that letting Rei kiss him whenever he wanted is better than having to worry when Rei was going to jump him. Also being able to walk around the mansion would be a plus, but he didn't want to just stay in the mansion. He wanted to go outside too. "Is there anyway I can go outside?" Max asked.

A smirk appeared on Rei's face as he said, "There is but you would have to make dinner, and you would have to stay within the gate we're making around the mansion."

Thinking about the decision further Max knew this was the best he was going to get after Tyson and his stunt, so looking firmly into Rei's eyes he replied, "Deal."

The smirk on Rei's face grew. "Good."
