Chapter 3: Past Incident (Kyo)

Flashback

"Queer! Queer! Queer! Queer!..." The chanting kept going and going while stones were hurled at a raven-haired boy. The kids who were surrounding him were in a state of ecstasy as the boy didn't retaliate, the chanting became louder and more stones were thrown. Kyo was bruised from head to toe, yet he didn't retaliate or defend himself. Self-esteem stolen and spirit crushed, Kyo had wished nothing better than to die. He was foolish and naive to believe that there might be actually someone to love and understand him. Too foolish and naive in fact, that he lowered his guards down. Now, he must pay the full price of his actions.

"Leave him alone you freaks!" Kyo heard someone shouted. He turned his head and saw a blond-hair boy ran at his direction. The kids surrounding Kyo fled upon seeing the intruder. Kyo's eyes widened a little when the blond-haired boy protected him and asked him about his well being. "You foolish boy! Why didn't you protect yourself against those hypocrites? Do you really want to die!" "Gomenasai...Gomenasai..." Kyo mumbled, tears that were formed in his eyes rolled down his cheeks. Not long after, he flung himself to the other boy and sobbed loudly. "There there, everything's going to be alright, I promise, don't cry..." The boy pat Kyo's back and tightened his embrace...

"Master Kusanagi, young master Kyo is nowhere to be found!" A servant burst inside the room reported to the old man. "Have you all searched everywhere?" The servant could only nod her head in response. "Listen, I want you to search for him over and over again, even if it means dying in the process! Now go!" The servant hastily retreated and continued searching with the other servants. "Sigh...Kyo where can you be? Why are you doing this to us?" The man murmured. "Saisyu, is there any news of Kyo's whereabouts?" asked a worried woman. Saisyu only shook his head. A frown was shown on the beautiful woman's face, "Is he going to be alright? He's never like this before! Is he lost? What if he's kidnapped?" The woman was clearly in hysterics. She's always calm and composed, but when it comes to her son, her wall of defense will always crumbled. Saisyu walked towards her before embracing her, "Don't you worry Shizuka, he's going to be alright. He's not that weak, I know that our son will return unharm, do you trust me?" "I...I don't know...I seriously don't know..." whispered Shizuka, resting her head on her husband's chest...

"Umh...Where am I?" Kyo groaned while trying to look at his dark surrounding. Seconds later, he remembered what happened, he blushed when his mind showed the image of him embracing the handsome blondie and crying to his heart content, while being comforted. 'Stupid Kyo! How could you just fling yourself to a stranger and cry your eyes out! This is so embarrassing, Aww!' "About time you're awake sleeping beauty! You worried me so much that I even thought to give you a wake up kiss!" Kyo jumped when he heard another voice coming from his side. A light flickered and he saw the blondie inches away from his face, grinning. "AHHHHHH! Get away from me!" Kyo screamed and smacked the boy away, like as if he was some kind of pest. "Ow! Is that how you repay your savior? Wow, I'm so touched..." The blondie replied sarcastically while rubbing the sore spot on his right cheek. "Anyway, are you alright? Do you feel better after the waterworks? You got me worried back there...Oh, and my name's Benimaru Nikaido, but you can just call me Benimaru!" Benimaru babbled. "Umm...I'm fine and thanks for saving me. My name's Kyo Kusanagi, and I need to be back home now." Kyo then proceed headed to the door when Benimaru grabbed his hand refusing to let go. "I can't let you go. It's too late and it's dangerous to be alone in this area at this point of time. There're many rape cases here, I can guarantee that you might be next, what's with your hot body and boyish handsome face..." Kyo blushed a deep shade of red when he heard the blond commented about his body, nobody had complimented at his looks before, let alone his body. He was too deep in thought that he didn't feel a hand sneaked under his shirt. Kyo only realized when he felt something was pinching his right nipple and caressing it. SLAP! Kyo slapped Benimaru's face and ran out of the room not wanting to be near with the pervert. Kyo ran and ran, and stopped when he made sure that the pervert was not behind him or following him. He heaved a sigh of relieve, only to find out that he's lost...Benimaru, though, was rubbing his red cheeks, now with the print of Kyo's hand. He was looking for Kyo, worried that he would be lost and group raped by a gangster who's living nearby. With that in mind, he quickened his pace before it was too late.

Kyo was walking an endless journey around the alley. He stopped to catch his breath when he was roughly shoved onto the wall. He winced in pain and looked up. There, he saw five guys smirking at him, and Kyo sensed trouble. He tried to get up, but was pushed and pinned down by a pair of hands. Next, his clothes were ripped and one of the guys pulled down his pants before grasping his manhood tightly and pumping it. Kyo wanted to scream for help, but was gagged by a piece of his torn clothes. He let out a blood-curdling scream when a sharp pain shot up his body and saw the guy pumping his manhood slammed himself inside Kyo's virgin hole. Tears were rolling down his face not only due to the pain, but mainly because he was being humiliated. Later though, Kyo's screams turned to moans and shouts of pleasure as the pain had disappeared after the first few thrusts, ironically he began responding to the rhythm, which of course made him felt more disgusted than before...

Sweats were streaming down his face and panting was heard. Benimaru wanted to stop, but he kept on moving. He would only stop when he found Kyo safe and sound. Afterall, it was his fault that Kyo ran away, he should have better control and kept his hands to himself. Mentally cursing himself, he suddenly heard a soft moan coming from a corner. Instinctually, Benimaru headed to the source of the sound. What he saw next shocked him, Kyo was moaning helplessly like a wounded animal while a guy was fucking him. The guy was moaning in pleasure and muttered something unmistakably like "tight" and "a good fuck toy". Benimaru saw red and pulled the guy out of Kyo. He proceeded to beat the guy up. His companions, however, joined in the fight. In the end, Benimaru managed to win by luck, though he was injured rather badly. He dragged his battered body to Kyo's and untied his gag. Kyo's face was flushed and he was trembling from the recent event. "Kyo! Are you alright? I'm sorry, I should have controlled myself, or nothing of this will happen!" "It's ok Beni, he didn't claim me, well not yet." came the soft reply. Benimaru was upset when he saw Kyo's blank eyes. Benimaru then, took off his jacket and wrapped it around Kyo before carrying him "bridal style" back to his apartment.

Benimaru was about to retire for the night when Kyo hold him back and pleadingly asked him to stay for the night. Benimaru, pitying the boy, stayed and lied down beside him. Silence filled the room, before a soft "thank you" could be heard. That was when Kyo shared his secret, "Remember when you asked me why I didn't protect myself? Back then, I was ashamed of myself, of my identity that I was willing to be punished by those kids. I am gay and I was too naive and innocent to think that someone would truly love me. Apparently, I confessed to this boy who claimed that he loved me and would stand by my side no matter what happens. Look's like I'm wrong, he deceived me and exposed me to the whole school and his friends via e-mail. You do know that most of the students in our school are homophobic, right? So they decided to torture me. I have never felt this foolish before, I don't even know if I can trust anybody anymore..." Kyo couldn't finish his sentence as he ended up crying to Benimaru and soon he cried himself to sleep...

End of Flashback

Kyo smiled when he remembered his parents fussing over his disappearance. He was glad that at least there were people who cared about him and accepted his preference. Benimaru and Kyo were now the best of friends and he found out that Benimaru's gay. He was sad as Benimaru didn't go to the same university with him, he had gone to America as instructed by his parents not only to further his education, but also to accompany them. But the memories of the near-rape incident still sent shivers down his spine whenever he thought of them, Kyo was so physically and psychologically affected that he was afraid to be touched intimately by anyone else, except for his parents and Benimaru.
