Chapter 9
Hello all! Welcome to the 9th installment of The Nightmare of Forever. In this chapter, we have several very crucial things occurring. 1) Yuki has finally arrived at the torture fair 2) Shuichi and Hiro are coming into the dark universe to hopefully save Yuki and 3) what will happen when dark Shuichi finds out of his original Yuki's death? Anyways, I hope you all like this chapter!
Suguru continued to scan the crowd for any possible threats as he accompanied Shuichi to the entrance of the crowded convention center. Shuichi's complement of guards pushed people out of the way to make room for their master.
"Out of the way"
"Scram you!"
"Move it"
"Make way idiots"
Up ahead, Suguru made out the figure of Marks as he headed towards the group.
"Sir! K and Tohma found a booth that they would like you to look at"
"Wicked! Lead on, I can't fuckin wait to get started" he grinned and the guards around them laughed accordingly. Suguru smiled indulgently but kept one hand on the knife that he had on his hip. There were too many enemies around to be lax.
"Right this way sir. It's right next to the hot wax hall of fame so K figured that lots of people would be coming that way"
"Good, good. K usually does know best" Shuichi flicked his pink hair out of his eyes and grinned "Oooh! This is going to be great!" As they rounded a corner, the group saw Yuki who was already chained up to a ring on the wall and already getting broad smiles from passersby.
"Suguru! Start unloading the decorations! I'm off to talk to K" Shuichi skipped off towards K and Tohma, leaving Suguru and the guards.
"Johnson, Mitsaki, put those boxes on the table and start unpacking, I'm going to get Yuki settled" The two guards looked at each other and smirked. "Something you have to say Johnson?"
"Sir no sir, was just getting my ass over to the table to start unpacking…sir"
Suguru frowned then flicked his knife out of its sheath and darted forward, holding it under the man's throat "Don't you dare give me any lip. Now get to it, and next time I expect not to see any emotion on that dead head face of yours"
The man gulped and a small trail of blood came out from under the knife "Uh…yes sir, I'll get right on it"
"Good" Suguru removed the knife and wiped the blood off on the man's shirt "get to it". The two men hurried off, after gathering up the boxes, to the table.
"Sir? Should we spread out around the table?"
"Yes, in about a 10 foot radius" They nodded and set off, leaving Suguru by himself. Sighing, he headed over to the place where Yuki was chained up. He had both of his hands chained behind him and hung limply from the wall, his blonde hair covering his eyes. Looking him over, Suguru decided that Yuki would defiantly look a lot sexier with his shirt off. Kneeling down, he unbuttoned Yuki shirt and was about to take it off when he saw the chains where in the way. Shrugging, he flicked out his knife and easily cut through the shirt until it came free. Stepping back, he took in the new picture of Yuki. Sexy, lusty, and an overall sense of helplessness, perfect.
Stirring, Yuki looked up through his hair at the figure that was starring at him "What the fuck are you looking at?"
Suguru grinned "You, I'm taking a last look at your lovely body before it gets drenched in blood"
Yuki frowned "But I thought you…"
"Liked you? Loved you maybe? Well of course I do, but that's why I'm doing this, you're now the perfect pet that I'll always love and adore torturing" he grinned "and of course I get to nurse you back to health after this ordeal is over" he got all starry eyed and walked away, drool coming out of the side of his lopsided smile.
"Shit…I'm so dead…" Yuki fell limp against the chains, suddenly drained of all his strength.
"No you're not, you're too hot to be dead" Yuki looked up and saw something that made his eyes bug out then he fell forward in a dead faint. "Hello! Yuki! Anyone home?" The stranger poked the limp Yuki and when he got no response he shrugged and pulled out a small canteen. Opening it up, heat waves came out the top, and the stranger poured it over Yuki's bared back. Slowly, out of the bottle, came liquid wax that had been heated to an extreme temperature. As the first few drops fell on Yuki, he jerked awake, then after a second or two, gave a loud yell as the hardening wax stuck to his skin, burning him as it stuck.
"Awake? Good" The stranger put the top back on the container, stopping the flow. Kneeling down, he lifted up Yuki's face so that he could look at him. Yuki's face was drenched in sweet and he panted heavily, his eyes filled in pain. "I didn't think you'd remember me. It's been what, 13, 14 years? I didn't think you'd remember your sensei, Eiri-kun". He let go of Yuki's face and walked away as Yuki hung from the chains, pain crossing his eyes as he watched Kitazawa walk from memories and away from him.
"Yuuuki! You look perfect! Aw…look…someone's already gotten to you…" Yuki felt delicate hands run over the hardened wax on his back and he gave a small yelp as the wax was pulled off, taking with it a little skin. Glaring up through his sweat drenched bangs, Yuki gave a death stare at Shuichi who was looking at the hardened wax thoughtfully.
"Hm…looks like you already have an admirer Yuki" he smiled "ah well, we open up now so who really cares". Grabbing Yuki's chin, he slowly ran a delicate finger over Yuki's lips that were coated in a thin sheet of sweat but pulled back quickly when Yuki attempted to bite off a few of his fingers.
"As naughty as ever". Chuckling to himself, Shuichi patted Yuki's cheek then let go of his chin. Standing up, he motioned over to Suguru "Open up the lines. Let them get…oh…3 minutes each at $2000 a go. That should be plenty of time". Suguru bowed and hurried off to the growing line of people who were smirking over in Yuki's direction.
"Well, best of luck to you Yuki" he chuckled "not…" with that, Shuichi strode away, supposedly to look at a few more exhibitions, taking 2 of the guards with him.
Moaning, Yuki pulled one last desperate time at his chains which of course led to nothing productive. 'This so fucking can NOT be happening to me…This morning, I was just…just…what was I doing…?' Frantically Yuki attempted to remember what he was doing this morning. To his distress, he could remember only vague images before his unfortunate meeting with Shuichi taser in the hallway. "Fuck…". Yuki sighed and looked up into the green eyes of a man who was squatting less than 6 inches from him and staring very adamantly at his face.
"Ah! What the fuck!" Yuki scooted back a good foot "Ever hear of personal space man!"
"No. Your hot". Yuki stared at the man dumbfounded, unsure how to respond. The man (is that the right word?) looked like he could still be in high school. He had long side swept bangs and ear length brown hair, with a small dangling ruby in his left ear. "Hope you don't hold anything against me" he grinned "I'd love to come over some time to your home and fu-"
"Hey! What the hell man, get away, I'm not gay!" (A.N. I guess this means that this is taking place before he accepts the whole "We're here, we're queer, get used to it!" thing with Shuichi… :P)
The man raised an eyebrow "Whatever, you're to expensive to just chat with. Well, down to business then. I bought this thing from a Portuguese dealer a few weeks ago and I've been dying to try it out". He pulled out of a backpack a bottle of what looked like pills. "Lucky for me they act within 1 minute" he grinned and unscrewed the bottle, letting a lone pill fall out on his outstretched hand. "Alright sweetheart, open up!"
"No…fucking…way". Sighing, the man motioned over to one of the waiting guards.
"Would you mind helping me here?" Impassively, the guard nodded and knelt down beside Yuki, pinching his nose shut with one hand and grabbing his jaw with the other. At the first contact, Yuki spazzed out and tried to jerk out of the man's grip. Unfortunately, the chains restricted him greatly and his movements only caused the guard to tighten his grip as Yuki's mouth was slowly forced open. Letting out a small cry, Yuki arched his back and continued flailing against the man's grip on his chin.
Choosing a moment with relatively little flailings, the young man who had paid to torture him, gave him a sound punch in the stomach, effectively knocking the breath out of Yuki. Taking the opportunity of Yuki momentarily stopping moving, he popped the pill into Yuki's mouth and the guard quickly shut Yuki's mouth while pinching his nose shut. After a few seconds, Yuki's reflexes kicked in and he swallowed. Seeing this, the guard dropped him and walked away silently.
"Well, all we have to do is wait" the young man smiled "By the way, my name's Derlek, I understand you're a writer".
Yuki looked up through his bangs as a small spasm ran down his spine "Why the hell do you care"
Derlek shrugged "Whatever, just trying to make some conversation" he checked his watch "should start any second now". Yuki groaned as another spasm ran through him, this time through his arm, making him twitch. A few seconds later, yet another spasm rolled down his leg making his leg jump uncontrollably for a second.
Derleck started to laugh "This is great!" Soon, all of Yuki's limbs were flailing uncontrollably as wave after wave of electric signals ran throughout all of his muscles, making him go into a fit that made him strain against the chains in vain. Every now and then, a small whimper would escape his tightly clamped shut lips as a particularly vicious current would actually leave a small burn mark on his skin.
This of course just sent Derleck into hysterical laughter as he laughed uncontrollably "Ha! You look just like a damned marionette puppet in the hands of a drunk man!" he snickered.
"Time's up!" A guard came over to Derleck and stood over him as Yuki continued thrashing in the background.
"Aw damn…oh well, best of luck to you Yuki!" He blew a kiss in Yuki's direction then sauntered off amid applause from bystanders.
"Yo, snap out of it" the guard who'd called time on Derleck kicked Yuki in the side as random spasms ran through him, even if they were at a slower rate than before. Yuki moaned in response as his movements grew stiller until he just hung from the chains, his fingers twitching every now and then. Intertwining his fingers in Yuki's hair, the guard pulled Yuki's head back until his face was completely visible. Brushing Yuki's blonde bangs out of his face, the guard forced open his eyelids to check to make sure that Yuki wasn't unconscious or anything of the sort. With a small grunt of satisfaction, the guard let go of Yuki's hair and called out to the waiting crowd "Next!"
(Okay, switch of POV to Shuichi and Hiro!)
Relocking the door, Hiro strode after Shuichi, took one last glance at the dead Yuki, then walked through the wall and into the other universe. Coming out on the other side, Hiro looked around and located Shuichi who was looking around cautiously at the other universe. For the first time, Hiro got a look at the dark side of their world. He noted the posters of the gruesome trio, the abandoned taser, and other various objects that reminded him of his own home, but in a slightly more twisted fashion.
"Psst, Shuichi, where's Yuki?"
Shuichi looked back at him and shrugged "I dunno, he was getting ready for something I think".
"Let's try to find Tohma and we can-"
They both paused as the door to the condo opened and looked towards it. In walked a guard who wore the tattoo of the zetsumei under his eye "Master? Sir? I thought you were at the convention?"
Shuichi nodded grimly at the man "I-I'd forgotten something…er…important…so I came back to get it!"
"But, sir, you should have just sent one of us, no disrespect meant sir".
"Uh…yeah…you see, I really-"
Hiro took over before Shuichi completely screwed up. Hoping he remembered correctly about his "relationship" in this universe with Shuichi, he pinned him to the wall, lightly running the back of his hand over Shuichi's chin then looked over his shoulder at the guard. Biting his tongue, he prayed to Yuki to forgive him "If you couldn't tell already, Shuichi and I wanted to be alone for awhile. If we wanted your help, we'd ask for it".
Nodding emotionlessly, the guard turned around and headed out the door "I'll be outside if you need me master" he nodded to Shuichi then to Hiro "sir". Shutting the door behind him, the guard left.
Okay! Enough already! I'm done with this chapter even though it's not long enough yet /sigh/. Oh well, I hope you all like this one! It's really fun to write on the torture scenes, even though poor Yuki has to go through all of that TTTT
