Knowing the Real You
Chapter 9: Disgusted
His head had gone completely blank. He blinked several times, praying every time that his eyes were going to see a different sight…they sure betrayed him…
It was weird, but he felt like he was in some kind of trance, he just stood there next to the bed staring at Horohoro snuggling in Anna's neck…his fiancée, or ex-fiancée actually…
Yoh felt his blood boiling, coursing through him, his heart was pounding, screaming for that son of bitch to stop whatever he's doing to Anna, he'd better stop or he's dead…seriously…so he did the most sensible thing in his mind at the moment.
He strode to the couple in front of him, wrenched Horohoro away by pulling his shirt from the back as hard as he can. Only then did Horohoro notice that Yoh was in the room. He realized that Yoh had seen everything, but it was way too late now. He had no idea what to say.
"Uh, Yoh! You're here…umm, I was just"- before he could let out another word, Yoh punched Horohoro straight in the face like he had never punched before. For the second time that day, Horohoro found himself lying on the floor, his head pounding from the blow of a punch from Yoh. But this time, he couldn't fight back; he couldn't fight back at all. At that moment, Yoh was looking at him with terrorizing eyes. It was nothing like he had ever seen. Yoh's expression was a thousand times more terrifying than Hao ever was. He tried to get up, but was kicked a foot away by Yoh.
"What the hell are you doing?" Horohoro's mouth was bleeding, he was trying to stand up but couldn't; he felt like his stomach was ripped apart. His words came barely more than a whisper. A whisper filled with physical pain.
Yoh stood there staring coldly at this person who he once considered a dear friend. He could see him suffering from the pain. But this was nothing…what Horohoro had done to him was something that can never heal…he left him an eternal scar…
"Why?" Yoh spoke in a deadly voice.
"Umm…why what?" replied Horohoro stupidly.
"If you play jokes with me you're gonna get a lot more than this" his threaten was blood-curdling.
Horohoro said nothing. He had never been in a worse situation than this. He turned to look at Anna, then back at Yoh. Before he pulled his gaze from Yoh's eyes, he noticed something. Yes, he could not mistake it. He had just seen a flicker of a different emotion in Yoh's eyes…it wasn't hate, it wasn't revenge…
It was hurt.
This made Horohoro hesitate. He was just starting to realize what he had done.
He had betrayed Yoh.
His first real friend, the one who welcomed him to stay at the inn with him…after everything Yoh had done for him…this was how he repaid him…
"Yoh…I…umm I…" he didn't know how to put this in words. All the same, he was interrupted by Yoh staring at Anna. He had temporarily forgotten she was still there.
Yoh stared at her. Why was she still lying on the floor like that? She saw him fight with Horohoro, but she didn't do anything about it. In fact, she hadn't moved a single muscle since he entered the room. He walked closer to get a better look at her. He couldn't believe his eyes…she was unconscious…
Yoh had completely lost it this time.
"WHAT THE FUCK DI D YOU DO TO HER?" He roared at the top of his voice.
Horohoro's mouth got dry…
"Yoh, calm down…I'm sorry I"-
"CALM DOWN? You're kidding right?" He was beside himself with rage. If what he was seeing was true, then that only meant one thing.
Anna was being raped.
If he hadn't showed up when he had, Anna could have been already lost to Horohoro.
He was shaking all over. He did discover earlier that day that his friend was also in love with Anna, but he had never dreamt he'd go this far. Violating the only person that mattered to him…
Yoh really seemed like he was going to explode, and Horohoro realized that he was shaking of fear. He was seriously thinking of running out of the room and escaping with his life.
"Don't you even think about it" Yoh suddenly interrupted these thoughts.
He looked at him quizzically. What the hell did he mean?
"About what exactly?" it was ridiculous, he joked to himself…he couldn't have heard me.
"If you step out of this room you'll regret it for the rest of your life" his voice was as cold as ice."
"You still didn't answer my question" he pointed out suddenly.
"What did you do to her?"
Horohoro realized that he had no choice but to answer.
"Well, nothing, I just…used a little of…umm..."
"What?" he urged dangerously.
"I used chloroform that's all, so she's ok".
There was a very deadly silence that preceded this statement. It took Yoh a little while to let those words sink in.
"You WHAT?" his raging fit started again.
"Look she's ok; I just wanted to feel what it was like…to…have her."
Half a second later, Horohoro realized that he had done a huge mistake by saying that. And for the third time, he was on the receiving end of a very angry punch.
But both their heads turned when they heard a sudden movement. Anna…she was stirring very lightly. At this, Yoh stepped towards her, cradled her in his arms, and with a last disgusted glare at Horohoro, left the room.
Horohoro stared at the slammed door. He had never been more relieved to be left all alone.
