Loss of Innocence: Chapter 1

Jakotsu sat under a tree, staring up at the sky, watching the clouds fly past slowly. Jakotsutou sitting on the ground beside him, seethed in it's purple cloth. So wrapped up in his own thoughts, he didn't notice someone come and sit beside him. Only when he felt a hand touch his cheek did he become aware. Startled by the sudden touch, Jakotsu jumped a little. He turned to see who was there and glared.

"What the hell do you think you're doing here, Renkotsu, you bastard?" he asked, gritting his teeth. Renkotsu merely laughed.

"I was my little wall flower sitting here all by his lonesome and decided to give him some company," he replied smoothly.

"I wish to have no company with you. Not after what you did, you sick fuck. Now leave before I get my Jakotsutou."

"You think I'm scared of you?" Renkotsu laughed. "If I was frightened, then I wouldn't have gone to your room, now would I?" Jakotsu's face paled a little and he turned away. Renkotsu put his hand on Jakotsu's shoulder but, it was shrugged off.

"I'll come back later when you're in a good mood. And if you aren't, I'll have to teach you another lesson," he threatened and walked away.

Jakotsu stared at his retreating back. He felt something wet running down his cheeks and he realized he must be crying. Sighing, he brought his knees to his chest and rested his head against them, trying to muffle the cries. That sick pervert. How dare he think he can get away with it...But...he can..., he thought.

"Jakotsu? Are you alright?" A sudden voice startled the man and he jumped again. Looking up, he saw Bankotsu looking down at him, a worried expression on his face.

"H-hai, Bankotsu no oo-aniki. I'm fine..."

"You don't look fine," the leader replied, sitting down. "Why are you crying?"

"I'm not crying."

"Jakotsu...please tell me what's happened."

"I...I can't..." Jakotsu stammered and looked at the ground. Bankotsu gently grabbed his chin and lifted his head up so the other was forced to look at him.

"Why not?" he asked softly.

"Because if I do...then I will be killed," Jakotsu answered.

"Just tell me what happened. You don't have to say who did it." Jakotsu remained silent. Sighing, Bankotsu made a gesture to hug the other but, Jakotsu moved quickly out of his reach. Staring at him, Bankotsu stopped. He thought for a second, not looking at his friend. Then, he looked back at him, eyes slightly widened.

"You were raped, weren't you?" Jakotsu looked down, more tears coming. He nodded his head and brought his knees to his chest once more. "When did it happen?"

"About three nights ago..." Jakotsu said weakly. Bankotsu stared at him, feeling a little shocked and confused.

"And why did you tell anyone? Why did you tell me?"

"Because I didn't want you to think of me as shameful and weak. I didn't want you to hate me. If you did, I would never be able to get over it. Never," Jakotsu cried. Bankotsu hugged him.

"I wouldn't hate you for something that you couldn't stop. And I wouldn't find you shameful or weak. It happens to everyone, Jakotsu," Bankotsu said softly.

"It happens to women," Jakotsu said. Bankotsu laughed softly. Jakotsu also laughed. He pulled away and wiped his eyes. "I'm fine now. Thanks."

They both stood up and began walking towards the home they shared with the others. For a few minutes they walked in silence.

"I'm fine now, really. You don't need to worry about me. Besides, Renkotsu knows when to back off," Jakotsu said absentmindedly, not realizing what he said until a moment after. He turned at looked at Bankotsu, who stared at him in shock.

"Renkotsu...he did this to you?" he asked, glaring now. Jakotsu nodded and looked away. "I swear Jakotsu, I'll get that son of a bitch no matter what. I swear it."
