Warning: Sex! Sex! sex...rape...bondage..abuse..profanity...

"I made it!" Shuichi stated as he planted his feet firmly against the ground, "I made it!" his excitement forced him to dance around in a small circle.

He had actually expected to get caught by someone. It was a known fact afterall, thatShuichi Shindou didn't have the best luck in the world.He glanced up once more and grinned, "Okay Shu, let's go!" but before he dashed out of the alley, he noticed a red and blue ball cap on top of a dumpster.

He picked it up, studied it then put it on his head to hide his newly dyed hair. Once it was snuggly set on his head, he began to exit the alley.

Of course, once he stepped out of the alley, his streak of good luck had ended. There, leaning against the light post, he found two Americans staring directly in his direction with those bright eyes of theirs.

Shuichi stared at them for a minute or two, trying to size them up. He could fight them, but without Hiro, there was a high chance that he would lose. Oh, how he could use his best friends help right now!

The man on the right was tall and slender with green eyes and dark brown hair that fell to his chin and a goatee, while the man on the left was a slightly shorter but still slender one with anuncanny resemblance to Lucas. These had to be the friends Lucas had mentioned earlier...the ones that would toy with him. Inwardly, Shuichi groaned and pulled the cap down over his face.

"Jesse" The dark haired one spoke after a moment (Shuichi would later learn his name was Ty). "Where are you going?" he asked with a raised brow and an amused look over his features. "Can we come?" he pushed off the light post he had been leaning against and swatted his friend lightly on the chest.

"That ain't Jesse" The red head, Marcus,spoke up, "But it sure as hell does look like him, don't it?" he didn't seem as confident about approaching Shuichi as Ty had.

"Let'shope he can perform and satisfy us the same way Jesse could. If we can't we'll have toteach him. We'll make him just like Jesse"Ty chuckled, combing back his hair with his fingers.

"He's a kidnapped kid man" Marcus said after a moment, hands shoveddeep into his pockets. He wasn't so sure about taking advantage of a kidnapped person like that, "Maybe..maybe Lucas has gone too far. We should get the cops"

Shuichi's features brightened and he nodded rapidly, "Police!"

Ty glared at his friend before smacking him across the back of the head, "You high or something?"

"Lets just get him upstairs okay?"

"Leave me the hell alone!" Shuichi finally gathered enough courage toyell, "I'm not Jesse, I'm Shuichi Shindou!" His handsinto fists and prepared to charge through.

"Bloody hell..." Marcus gasped, "Shuichi Shindou the singer? You don't look like him at all.." He stepped back a bit, shaking his head. "I'm out man. I'm out. I'm not raping a fucking singer.."

"Hell, that makes it even better!" Ty's eyes appeared to light up at the idea. "Sex with a singer!" He licked his lips and grinned.

Then, Lucas shoved past the pair with an angry look. "You two can't d'anything right, can ye?" He raised a hand and pointed at Shuichi, "That is Jesse. He came back ta us. He missed us" he glared at Shuichi, "Now, les get 'im upstairs. Ty, 'elp me with 'im. Marcus, go on ahead. Get some rope an' wire. Jesse needs to be punished".

Shuichi shuddered. He couldn't bring himself to fight against Lucas. For some reason, the man terrified him. Maybe it was because of his bipolar personality... "I don't want to" he turned sharply to run, then realized he had just closed himself off in the alley. He was cornered.

Hands balled tightly into fists, he glared at Lucas and Ty as they approached...

"Stop...stop...STOP!" Shuichi continued to plead as his body moved violently up and down as Lucas ravaged his most private areas. His hands and ankles, bound with wire and rope were useless against his assailants. It hurt so much..they were so rough. His body trembled in fear and his eyes nearly doubled inside as he felt Lucas's body shudder then drop against him.

"Oh..I came..." Lucas panted, reaching down and stroking Shuichi's member as he rested against the younger male. "I'll 'ave ta clean ye up now" he squeezed gently then kissed Shuichi's jawline and began to kiss downwards.

Shuichi gasped, feeling Lucas' mouth around him, bobbing slowly up and down up and down. "Stop! I'm not Jesse! I'm not I'm...damn it!" A moan escaped his lips and he arched his back, drops of sweat cascading down his chest and forehead.He then blushed in shame.

Ty grabbed him by the hair and tilted his head back, grinning broadly. "Open wide, singer" he forced himself into Shuichi's mouth, which forced the boy to gag. Tears sprung from his eyes before he closed them. He refused to move, refused to suck...refused to pleasure.

Ty pressed his hands against the sides of Shuichi's face and forced him to move and he groaned slightly.

The tears in Shuichi's eyes leaked out, streaming down his cheeks as he gagged. 'Yuki..yuki..' he thought. 'I need you right now..'

"Jesus...stop it..." Marcus muttered, keeping his eyes on the window. He couldn't watch what Lucas and Ty were doing. "It's fucking disgusting.."

"We did Jesse just like this, Marcus" Ty said in between groans, tilting his head back a bit.

"Jesse wasn't kidnapped. Jesse didn't belong to someone else..."

The two men ignored the more logical one and continued on with their fun. "Oh" Lucas spoke, lifting his face and licking his lips. "Ye don't wanna cum, do ye?" he asked, flicking Shuichi's tip with his finger.

"Lucas" Ty grinned, lifting up the trail of long wire that was left over once they had bound Shuichi's ankles and wrists. "Look!" he pointed outhow the longwire was still connected to what was wrapped around the singer's wrists, then motionedtowards the electrical socket in the corner.

Shuichi's eyes widened and he shook his head. No..they wouldn't do it. They weren't that heartless. No..No...

No!

He watched as Ty lifted the end of the wire and moved it towards the electrical outlet. His body jerked slightly and he let out a yell as he felt the shock run through his body. "I'm Jesse!" he blurted. "Jesse...Jesse..that's me...your hurting me Lucas, your hurting me"

Lucas yanked the wire from Ty's hand and looked at Shuichi, suprised, "What did ye jus' say?"

"I-it's me.."

Meanwhile, who had slid out of the room a few minutes earlier, huddled over the counter in the kitchen, phone pressed against his ear, "Yeah..yeah..listen..." he glanced about. "I'd like to report a kidnapping".

"Damn it!" Yuki snapped as he pulled his hand away from the refrigerator and glared at the handle that had just shocked him. He should have known betterthan to drag his feet across thefloor while wearing socks, then going to the regrigerator to get something. It was Shuichi's fault. Ever since he haddisappeared, Yuki hadn't been thinking clearly. He growled and punched the refrigerator, "Stupid thing!" he snapped again.

He couldn't take it anymore. He needed to see Shuichi. The was frustrated mentally,physically...sexually. He was just frustrated up the ass.

Up the ass...mmm...

Damn, how he missed Shuichi!

He was so close to flying back to the United States himself.

"Eiri, you've been rather grumpy lately" Tohma rested a hand on his shoulder, "I hopeyou don't mind me inviting myself in. You didn't answer the door. I brought you some ramen."

"I'm not hungry. Have youfound Shuichi yet?"

Tohma smiled, "I just finished speaking to him about an hour ago during the rehersal for the benefit concert"

Yuki spun around grabbing Tohma by the shoulders,his grip tight, eyes angry.Shuichi had been with Tohma this entire time? Impossible. "What?So K brought him back?"

"I..don't believe I understand Eiri, what is wrong?" Tohma calmly removed Yuki's hands from his shoulders. "Mr. Shindou has been at the studio for the past few hours"

"No, damn it. That can't be right.Nakano told me he was left behind" Yuki turned to lean against the counter. "He hasn't been here for almost two days"

Tohma remained silent, but his facial features changed. His eyes narrowed slightly and his lips drooped into a frown.He hadbeen taken for an idiot in hisvery own office, and that, he was not happy with. How dare they think that they could trick him like that. How dare they think that they could hide something like this...and keep their jobs.

Tohma ran his hands down his coat and cleared his throat. "You'll have to excuse me Yuki, I have some things to take care of" he nodded, excusing himself, then turned to leave the home. He wasn't sure what he would say to Nakano, Fujisaki and Sakano, but he knew it wouldn't be nice.

"Tohma wait. I want to see the kid they used to fool you" Yuki decided, turning his head.

"Eiri..."

"I want to see the little fuck who thinks he can be my Shuichi"

"This is bad, very bad!" Sakano paniced, pulling at his hair. "Mr. Seguchi isn't stupid! He's going to figure it out and I'll lose my job! I won't be able to pay my bills...buy food...my whole life down the drain!"

Maxraised a brow, "Do you want my stressball?" he raised his hand, showing Sakano the squishy red orb in his hands. "Nevermind, I need this myself. But your right. You will lose your job" he smirker a bit, them combed a hand through his now pink hair. This new look disgusted him. It was so...ugly.

"Don't tell him that" Suguru advised, lookingtowards Max.This teenlooked like Shuichi, but he definetly didn't have Shuichi's attitude. Maxwas more sarcastic and collected and organized than Shuichi was. And..Suguru got along with him alot more than he did with Shuichi. "He'll die of a heart attack. Besides, Mr. Seguchi didn't notice the difference"

Max tossed his stressball into the air, and Hiro caught it, glaring a bit. "I don't see how he fell for it. This kid is nothing like Shuichi"

"Man, you've been on my case since you met me. I know I'm not your best friend, and I don't want to be. I just want to help K out so that none of you get fired! Cut me some slack damn it. You make it sound like I want to be here! If I really wanted Shuichi's life, I would have taken it along time ago"

That comment caught Hiro off guard. He glared some more and squeezed the stressball. "No, you couldn't I never would have allowed it. Your nothing but a wannabe. You wanted to help K so that you could be somebody instead of a nobody"

"Oh no...conflict!" Sakano paniced again, dropping into a chair and loosening his tie.

Suguru stood up and moved inbetween Hiro and Max. "Settle down guys"

"Whose fighting?" Max grinned slightly, "Hiro's the one who has his panties all up in a bunch"

Hiro lifted his fist and swung at Max. Max ducked to the side, then rushed to the door, "I have to go now guys. But you know what Hiro, I thinkI will take you up on that challenge"

"What challenge?"

"Shuichi's life..will be my life, since I dout the guy who has him is going to give him up anyway"

"You know who has Shuichi?" The three exclaimed in unison.

"Of course I do" Max replied with raised brows. "K didn't fill you in on exactly why I'm here in Japan did you?"

"No, he didn't. Why don't you sit down and tell us?" Suguru asked, trying to be rational. However, Hiro had other plans. In an instant, he had launched himself at Max and had grabbed him by the collar and practically lifted him a few inches from the ground.

"Your going to tell us everything now"

"I've been through so much shit. You don't scare me one bit.."

"Do I scare you, Mr. Jesston?" Tohma Seguchi asked as he stood behind him, hands in his pockets and an angry look on his face. Behind him stood an even angrier Eiri Yuki.

"Your supposed to be Shuichi?" Eiri asked with a raised brow.

"Yes.." Max replied slowly, turning his head.

"I'm very disappointed in all of you" Tohma spoke with that angry look but a very calm voice, "It is not right to decieve others. But, it's late, we'll deal with this tomorrow. Eiri, take Mr. Jesston home with you"

"What?" was exclaimed in unison by everyone execpt Tohma.

Max grinned. Everyone else frowned.

Hiro set the kid down and crossed his arms, turning away, "You never did approve of Shuichi and Yuki's relationship. So now that he's gone, you want to take advantage of that"

"Bite your tongue Mr. Nakano. This is for the good of the band as well as the company"
