Love Untainted
Chapter 3
Akito stood silently in his personal garden, a single sparrow perched on his finger, as he hummed to himself. He slowly watched the bird, as it hopped from finger to finger, leaving one then returning, after him flicking it a few times. A smile spread across his face the brid stayed on his finger."That is what I must do to my Yuki-koi." said Akito, grabbing the bird into his palm, and squeezing the air from it. He repeated tighting and loosening his girp on the poor creature, watching the delicious pain he put it through.
"Akito-sama, it's time for you to come inside." called Hatori, taking a step into the garden. Akito waved the older man back, walking toward him at a slow and steady pace. he smiled when he saw Hatori's reaction at the bird, that now lay in his hand.
"Do you know what I am going to do with my favorite pet?"asked Akito, looking at Hatori, his dark eyes searching his face. The older man shook his head, a lump forming at the back of his throat as he watched the head of his family pet the creature lightly on it's head.
"What?"asked Hatori, his voice void of any emotion. Akito smiled, brushing the hair from Hatori's face.
"It will be wonderful to see him, pitiful and weak, defenseless and helpless, alone and sorrowful, won't it Hatori-san?" Akito stated, more than questioned.
The older man, cringed, clenching his fist at the touch of his 'master'. Hatori shook his head, trying desperately to shake the horrible images from Yuki's last torture. His body had been badily beaten, blood had pooled on the floor around his lifeless body, his clothes torn from his frame and thrown about the room, either shredded or bloody, each telling a tale in his torment. He had been once again mercilessly raped and hurt, all because he would not say the words Akito wanted to hear, those three words that formed a bond and a peace, the words 'I love you'.
"No it would not." said Hatori, plainly, as not to anger the younger man.
Akito shook his head, squeezing the bird once again in his powerful grip. Hatori watched as the bird shrieked and cried out, struggling against Akito's grip, trying to get free from the tight and suffocating grasp, trying with all it's might to be free once again. Finally just before the poor creature died, Akito loosened his hold on the animal, allowing it to breath once again. He looked up at Hatori, smiling evily as he again squeezed the bird. but before he could hold it tight enough the bird, fought his way from Akito, and into the sky, flying high so he could not be caught. Hatori smiled, slightly, turning away from the distraught Akito, walking slowly toward the house.
"He will fight for his life before any of that happens, or die trying." Hatori whispered, walking back to his office, watching the bird fly out of Akito's reach."Good luck."
