UNEXPECTED CONFESSIONS
by sohmamomiji
Chapter 1: Uninvited Guest
"…for I must die for what I've done
a twist of fate a desert sun
for I see what I destroy
sweet reflection knife in me
for I see what I destroy
I can see what I've begun…"
The blaring radio keeps Ban company on the drive home.
After completing a particularly hard-fought recovery in Mugenjou, Ban had decided to leave
the wrap up to the New VOLTS. Injured and with his trump card jagan spent, it would have
been tempting fate for Ban to spend even a minute longer in the Limitless Fortress than he
absolutely had to. Sighing, Ban wishes that his partner had come home with him, but Ginji had,
understandably, decided to stay the night to help comfort an injured Makubex.
A lone figure, perched in a nearby tree, watches Ban as he returns to his apartment sans Ginji.
For almost an hour, the figure patiently observes the activities inside the GetBackers' apartment,
silently watching as Ban replaces the bloody bandages on his shoulder with fresh ones. Waiting
for the right moment to strike. Finally, the streets are deserted. Time to move.
Ban hears a knock at the door.
"Oi, Ginji. Forget your keys?"
He opens the door. Shido.
"What the hell do you want, Saru-mashi? Ginji's not here."
"I know that, Snake Bastard. I have a business matter to discuss."
Ban grunts, but steps aside to let Shido in. Suddenly, Shido turns quickly and flicks the contents
of a small vial into Ban's face. Ban's instincts kick in, but his limbs fail him. Injuries incurred inside
Mugenjou rack his body with pain, making him just a split-second slower than Shido as he tries
to react. That split-second delay had been all that Shido needed as the potion has its desired affect.
Ban recognizes the scent immediately: Himiko's paralysis perfume.
How fucking bizarre, Ban thinks to himself. When Ban had fought Shido many months ago,
Shido had boasted 'Midou Ban, If I were fighting seriously, then I would be out of your league'
… for Shido to resort to a dirty trick like Himiko's paralysis serum…
"Why the hell do you have paralysis perfume, Monkey Boy?" Ban curses as he stands, involuntarily
frozen, next to his attacker.
"I claimed it as payment." Shido replies arrogantly, raising an eyebrow. "After all, it would have been
a shame to see Lady Poison waste something so… useful… just to shake the car-full of common
yakuza thugs who were tailing her. So, unbeknownst to her, I simply chose to step in and do her a favor."
"So resorting to cheap tricks now, are you, Monkey Trainer?" Ban taunts, trying to buy himself some
time, hoping that the poison would wear off soon. "Afraid I'd kick your ass into next Tuesday if we
had a fair fight?"
"No more tricks, Snake Bastard. You took our Emperor from us." Shido hisses, bearing his fangs.
He reaches over and flicks off the light. "And I'm here to make you pay."
Without warning, Shido slams his fist into Ban's stomach, sending Ban reeling to the ground on his knees,
gasping for air. The world blurs as the air rushes out of Ban's lungs. For the moment, as the pain in his
stomach chokes him; Ban's limp form can only kneel helplessly at Shido's feet.
Kneel! Midou Ban bows before no one!
"Damn… you… Monkey Boy."
Glaring wickedly, Shido kicks Ban in the ribs, causing Ban to wrench onto his back, writhing in pain.
"(cough)... What the… (gasp)... FUCK… (cough)… has gotten into you… (wheeze)… Monkey Boy?"
Ban groans through gritted teeth.
Shido does not respond. Instead, he drags Ban roughly by the neck into the living room and drapes him
over the arm of the couch. Ban can feel the chill of claws against his bare skin as Shido tears off his clothes.
"You should be more concerned about what's getting into you… Midou Ban."
Ban flinches.
"I'm going to KILL you, you fucking bastard!" Ban growls.
Shido cackles dangerously, while gagging, blindfolding, and binding the wrists and ankles of his captive with
his tattered clothing. He leans forward, grinding his hips into Ban, threateningly. Ban can feel Shido's breath,
lapping lustfully against his ear.
"If you think you can…" He hisses tauntingly, "But not until I fuck you over, the way you fucked me over."
Ban shudders and swallows hard. God, this is NOT FUCKING HAPPENING.
"So many died because of what you did, treacherous snake!"
Ban thinks he hears the sound of a zipper and then the ruffle of fabric falling to the floor.
Shit, this is bad! Filthy fucking bastard!
Calloused fingers roughly probe his exposed entrance.
Something snaps inside Ban as his eyes widen.
Oh… God… No!
Panicked, he tries to strain against the bindings, but cannot move.
"Get the fuck off of me… you filthy bastard!"
"Struggle all you want," Shido taunts darkly, "The more you fight, the greater the conquest…" He sadistically
plunges the calloused finger into Ban's cavern, "… the sweeter my revenge."
Ban groans and winces from the pain shooting through his body.
Aaaaargh, Nooo!
Ban tries to will his body to move, but Lady Poison's potions are potent. He is trapped.
Oh, God… Please. Not here. Not like this. Not with HIM.
A single thought… almost a prayer… comes to the forefront of his mind.
Ginji…
