This war of mine
Chapter 8: Frozen Eyes
Luka could still hear Yuki screaming his name, loud and then more distant the more he falls. He reaches out towards his voice but can't see anything, the more he tries to move the more agony he finds himself in but, it doesn't matter he has to find Yuki and protect him from Regia.
Cold...
Where am I...?
Yuki blinks a few times, feeling heavy he looks around to see he is lying on an unfamiliar bed in an unfamiliar room, decorated with purple and dark furniture. Yuki tried to lift himself up off the bed but realised the chain was still on his wrist.
Oh No...Luka...
"You look worried, at yet not making anywhere near as much as a fuss as I thought You would" Yuki looked to see where Regia's voice was coming from, in the far corner covered by shadows Regia sat in a high backed chair drinking wine, with his cold ice-like eyes staring at Yuki.
"This chain isn't something I could break easily...but I'm worried about Luka" Yuki spoke directly to the point and Regia placed his finished glass of wine onto the table. He stood up and practically glided over to Yuki who still sat on the bed obediently. "As long as you understand fighting it is pointless" Regia said he came to a halt in front of Yuki, "What do you mean pointless?" Yuki asked slightly afraid of Regia's answer.
Regia's face didn't change but his eyes flashed with light for a moment as he spoke, "I thought it'd be obvious, that the bloody Zess is dead" for a moment Yuki didn't quite take in what Regia had just said and when he final did he had only one reaction.
"You're wrong...Don't lie to me like that Regia, it's a whole different level of cruelty" in denial, Yuki believed in Luka and not Regia's words. "You saw for yourself how he fell back to earth, even a duras of Zess strength would have great trouble surviving his injury let alone the fall" Regia explained.
No he is wrong...Luka's okay...
"You're face says you truly don't believe, but it's been over a month since I brought you here" it was at this moment that Yuki saw himself in the mirror Regia towards him, his hair had grown longer and he look loads thinner. "How?" Yuki asked out loud, "I've been keeping Takashiro off my tail until I could trick him into losing me, so in the mean time I placed you in a coma, so you wouldn't cause fuss" Regia answered his obvious question.
"Do you really think if your guard dog was still alive he wouldn't have turned up at least once?" Regia asked curiously, "Your wrong Luka's not dead...he's..." Yuki shook his head at the idea.
No...He can't make me believe it...Luka he is probably still recovering...
"You say no but you're not sure are you?" Regia asked making Yuki flinch.
No...Luka is...too important...
"You're wrong...you have to be, Luka he is alive..." Yuki had begun to cry despite the fact that he continued to be in denial about Regia's words.
He can't be dead...I don't believe it...he'll come when he can...no I'll get to him, somehow...I'll break this stupid chain...He's not dead...he probably needs my help to get better...that's all...
Yuki was trying to reason with him-self but the tears kept falling and the more Regia insisted of Luka's death the more tears and more in denial he became. Regia found this annoying and fight against a now resisting Yuki who wanted to be free of the chain on his wrist, Regia took hold of his arms and pushed him down onto the bed.
"Don't bother Yuki, you'll just end up wasting your energy on trying to save someone who is already dead" Regia said simply but this made the Yomi in him upset and a little angry. "Well it wouldn't e the first time would it!? But it work then...so it can work now!" Yuki shouting surprised him a little but he didn't get off him. "So you remember saving my life do you?" Regia asked simply, "What of it? Let me go!" Yuki was becoming angrier; in fact this feeling had been brewing since his life as Yomi and the attack on Luka certainly wasn't helping his mood.
He better get off or I...I swear I'll...
Regia could tell if Yuki had the Grimwore right now, he'd be practically blowing up buildings or more say duras. "I ask because I have a question, why when you obviously could not withstand the spell did you bring me back from the edge of death?" Yuki was in the wrong mood to answer this question but did so anyway.
"Why? Ha-ha...You were important to me Regia and I decided your life was more precious than mine, so there I'm foolish or naive or something right? I thought you would help them, no matter what the clan thought of you, you'd never cared before but to kill the Elders and hurt Takashiro that way, without ever saying why... I never thought you'd do it. But I guess you didn't care about me or Takashiro, at least not enough to stay and make the Giou clan see your innocence. Takashiro would have never left your side if you had just trusted him, so why? Did my choice of dying for you, really make so little sense you ended up hating humans? I don't understand" Yuki emotions from all different lives towards Regia came pouring out and still the tears wouldn't stop.
"You...please tell me you're lying...about Luka...please!" For a moment Regia faltered, he was expecting everything to come out like that as such raw emotion, not mention the truth was he had no idea if the bloody Zess was alive or not. In fact Takashiro had barely made any moves to try and save Yuki, which confused Regia even more.
Climbing off Yuki and walking over to the window, he thought about things he had thought about a thousand times since the first battle, the start of the war. "It makes no sense to me because I do not believe any human other than you would sacrifice one's life, possibly their soul for the life of another human. No matter what life your soul is different" Regia said this and began to leave when Yuki sat up and asked "Me...Think if it had been me on the edge of death not you...what would you have done? What choice would you have made Regia?"
Yuki curled back into a ball and began crying and shacking, Regia looked back with shock in his blue eyes, wondering for a moment, what would he have done? Would he really have left Yomi/Yuki there to die? He walked out the room pondering Yuki's question.
"Is he really doing better doctor?" Toko asked
"Believe it or not yes, I think within next few days he should start to wake up as long as his condition doesn't change again. It's lucky Sodom was unharmed I was able to use some of his blood to help Luka, but with Yuki not being here I knew it still take long..."
Yuki...That's right...Regia took him! I'll make him pay for this...
Someone takes hold of Luka's hand gently, "Don't worry Luka, Takashiro hasn't stopped looking for Yuki and until he is back safe and sound I'll sit her by your side and look after you for him. He'd need to know you weren't alone while being in pain, so I'm here" Toko says quietly.
She is a weird woman and yet she cares about Yuki that I can tell...She was the only one who seemed to be fine with me as Yuki's partner...I don't know why but she always stood up for us...and told Yuki to stay strong...like I said a weird woman but kind...in a similar way to Yuki...Takashiro hasn't found them yet... I need to wake up...
As promised Toko did not move an inch, unless she felt Luka needed something such as water or a clean blanket. She did occasionally let Tskumo watch Luka so she could sleep knowing she would need her strength when Luka woke up, so they could go and find Yuki together. Tskumo was feeling guilty about the last battle and how he let Luze get the upper hand on Toko, he hadn't said anything but Toko could tell he was blaming himself for Yuki being in Regia's hands.
At one point when Toko and Tskumo were watching Luka during the night, she and Sodom sensed Luka move for the first time in forever. He rose almost zombie like on the bed but Tskumo asked him to lie back down. "I know what you're thinking, but you will only need a day at most to be a 100% again Luka, now that you're awake. Don't rush it, you'll injury yourself and when we find Yuki which we will, he'll want to heal you" Tskumo knew it was a bit of a low blow but it work, Luka lay back with Sodom holding him up as a pillow. "Do you know where?" Luka asked.
Toko and Tskumo looked at each other, "Takashiro thinks he is getting closer but after managing to break Yuki's barrier it seems his skills in barrier making have gotten a little better, he is giving Takashiro trouble" Toko explained disappointed with the answer herself. "It's alright Luka, Takashiro thinks he will find him by tonight so hang tough and rest okay?" Toko slightly pleaded with him which made, Luka impatient but nod all the same, after all they were right and if waiting to go when everyone else went meant he'd be fully recovered and have a better chance at saving Yuki so be it. Still Luka was worried.
Yuki was still lying in the same position as yesterday, even when Regia brought him food he didn't move. He didn't feel like eating, so why should he? He was angry at Regia, yet he was more angry with himself for believe that Regia, even in the slightest might be right.
I guess I just care that much and that is nothing to be ashamed of despite what Regia thinks. I love Luka, He loves me and I won't forget it...Regia doesn't understand this feeling...No perhaps it's better to say he forgot how to experience this feeling. Humans are fools to feel? But I know if he felt this way about anyone he would understand...he finds my love towards Luka even less understandable. His parents...an Opast and a human...since their love failed them surely mine and Luka's is all a delusion to...
I have to find a way...to remind Regia what it feels like to be in love...but if I do that I'll have to tell him and the Zweilts the truth...I'll have to become the person I was before I met them and that scares me...Things will change...but I can only hope for the better if I tell the truth...so much time lost, I had forgotten until now. I told myself to keep in hidden but...Regia won't end this war unless I show him...It's okay to be afraid.
Regia, Takashiro, Luka and all of the Zweilts...I'll protect like I promised too so long ago...
Yuki sits up and looks at himself in the mirror, his eyes are worn out and his hair now long enough to reach his elbows is messy and needs a wash. He stands and heads towards a bathroom within the room he has been locked in. He quickly jumps into a shower, hoping Regia doesn't come in and ask any more questions.
I need it...the grimwore before I can do anything else...the Echnotch is my key...
Searching high and low, it felt like forever before Takashiro found Yuki's location. Knowing the barrier was not only strong but that inside would be perhaps even more Duras than before to keep them away from Yuki, Takashiro decided to call other Giou spell masters, whether they had grimwore's or not meant nothing as long as they were strong. The Zweilts along with the much healthier looking Luka met ahead of time to leave in the garden and introduced themselves to Giou members they had not met in person before.
Luka looked over to Takashiro as he walked into the garden, Tachibana greeting and informing him that everyone was already here. "Thank you for all being here on such short notice, but as you already know by now Yuki, God's light is in great need of rescue and with all of us here I have no doubt we can succeed. That being said please do be careful, Regia and his forces will not let us take Yuki back without a fight. We fought not only two S rank Duras but one of Opast level as well, usually we could handle this amount but taken by surprise we were over run. Yuki was Regia's goal not the Echnotch like we thought, so we let our guards down perhaps? Either way we go at them with everything we've got tonight" Takashiro spoke his speech only to hear Hostuma's impatience. "We know that much! Let's rock and roll already Takashiro!" Ibuki gave Hotsuma an icy 'don't be rude glance' but Takashiro laughed and agreed.
He opened a portal that looked dangerous and said "I've made it safe but only for here and back. In other words two uses no-one should use the portal until I say so, no man left behind is what we all want, do you all understand?" They nodded but some looked worried as they did so. Luka and the Zweilts were ready for this; it was time to bring Yuki home.
Eyes so cold, they make my skin crawl...When did you become so cold Regia? Even when the Giou clan called you monster...you never looked at people that way. Are you angry because you can't make sense of my answers...I think you'd rather not know...but I can't let anyone else get hurt, just because you don't understand.
"Why the glare?" Regia asked curious, "It wasn't aimed at you" Yuki answered and Regia realised Yuki was glaring and Luze a little, who really didn't give a damn.
"Ha-ha-ha you're angry at him for a paper cut to the Bloody Zess and yet I tell you I may have killed him and not one glare?" Regia asked amused.
Yuki looks at him "If you want me to glare at you I can, I just don't see the point. You won't understand why I'm so mad anyway and frankly I'm tired of trying to explain it to you" he then looks down at his plate, a delicious looking meal with Regia's favourite wine sits in front of him but he is still not hungry. "Eat, it's good. Luze fetched it from your realm for us" Regia explained were it had come from, "That makes me want to eat even less" Yuki said frankly, which made Elegy and Cadenza laugh, "It is nice to see the pointless but confident side of you God's light" said Cadenza as Elegy quickly called out "How rude you are, filthy human worm, you should be grateful Regia asked him to get you anything!"
Great...now their joining the conversation, I just want to talk to Regia alone...I need my grimwore and he just might help me get it, if he thinks I'll give it to him after...
Luka I know he won't be long...I believe, they will be here any day and I have to be ready.
Noticing Yuki has been thinking long and hard about lots of things and yet not eating, even Regia has noticed that if this keeps up he will become ill and that is the last resort.
"Leave us..." Regia commands his Opasts to leave, this surprises Elegy and Cadenza but Luze is already on his way back to his own room. "I haven't finished my human meal though, Regia-dono" Elegy being slightly sarcastic turns to him curious as to what he is going to do to God's light, but Regia simply keeps his ice-cold eyes on Yuki. "Fine! How boring" Elegy followed after the other two, hoping they would entertain her somehow.
The closed shut and locked behind them, Regia walked up to Yuki who sat at the other end of the table, he looked up into Regia's eyes to see a slight flicker of darkness, even more so than ever before. Regia reached down and from his wrist where the chain still remained pulled him all the way over to the bed Yuki had been sleeping on.
"Whoa...what are you doing?" throw down on to the bed Regia climbed on top of Yuki despite his question. "I thought it be obvious? I'm bored so I decide you could entertain me. Takashiro is taking way too long to find this place, I'm sure you agree so there's no harm in making the time go faster" Regia answered with a spark in his eye and only then did Yuki realise what he was getting at.
He can't be serious...
"Regia stop joking and get off, I mean it..." Yuki said it quietly but then he felt Regia's hand slide up under his shirt. "Please you know I'm not the joking type, like I said I'm bored and you happen to be my prisoner. You can resist all you want I suppose but your still mine to do what I want with" Yuki hated the fact that Regia was right, without his grimwore he wasn't going anywhere and Regia was 3x stronger than him. He tried to push Regia off with all his strength but Regia just got closer somehow.
No...I want him off...
"Regia get off me please" he asked as calmly and as clearly as he could but Yuki could tell Regia was quite done playing with him yet. "I think I'll punish you a little first" Regia lent in easily on Yuki even though he resisted, taking Yuki's lips by force was more enjoyable than he thought it would be but he was going further than that.
"Ahh...no" realising Yuki's lips and kissing, sucking and liking Yuki's neck all the way down his torso was very entertaining, though his body was beginning to respond nicely Yuki himself had tears forming.
"Stop it...you're only doing this because you didn't like my answer, you don't remember what happened with Alga...I know that but, please don't take it out on me this way" Yuki was upset, in this life he had seen Regia as family/a brother he didn't want this.
Regia watched his tears fall for just a moment and then spoke "Let me guess? Afraid of what Luka will think? Lovers in this life are you?" he asked already knowing the answer. "That's...If you know then please get off" but Regia simply became more determined.
"I know you know why Alga attacked me and you that night, I know you saved me for more than just as sense of importance...and until you give me my answers, I'm going to punish you" Regia pulled down Yuki's pants and took hold of him so fast Yuki couldn't stop himself from reacting. Pulling and pushing to try and get Regia off him but nothing was working, he now had hickeys and bruises all over him.
"Please I...I don't know...not yet...get off! Regia...no more...I mean it, ah...Ahnn...I can't" Yuki was resisting with all his might but Regia had full control, overcome Yuki came over his stomach, tears flowing even more than before. Regia hadn't indented to go all the way but he was enjoying Yuki reactions too much, he pulled down his bottom half and put Yuki in the best position he could, since Yuki was still fighting him.
"No...Enough, stop I mean it...stop right now! I won't forgive you...so please stop, I already told you I don't know...I don't remember yet...please...no more..." Regia could tell Yuki was serious and part of him, the human half was telling him to stop but the other half was having too much fun to even contemplate stopping. Regia was about to finish what he had started when he sensed people who did not belong and one was running their direction so fast it had to be a duras.
Turning round just in time to see, the door be destroyed, Regia took hold of a still tearful but surprised Yuki around the neck, knowing who it was already. Luka took one glance at the situation and knew what was happening, He was not impressed.
Luka...you're here...alive...thank god...
Yuki's relief was apparent to Luka in more ways than one, and he was becoming angrier by the second "Regia!"
"Careful bloody Zess, you wouldn't want to hurt your precious god's light after just meeting again right?" Luka tried his best to not make any unnecessary moves. "Give him to me, let him go and you actually might make it out of this room in one piece" Luka said holding out a hand for Yuki. "Heh, Luze will be here any moment, you know that so you're trying to get away quickly" Regia moved Yuki off the bed, still keeping him in a tight grip.
"Fine, he doesn't seem to have the answers I want yet anyway, but when he does me and your brother will be back Luka, send the message to Takashiro as well would you?" saying the name of his Grimwore "Lufen" Regia let go of Yuki and with wobbly legs he feel to the ground.
Regia however left in high certainty that the next time he met Yuki he would have his answers and more.
So a bit of a dark chapter, I wanted to try writing this way :) I hope you liked it please let me know what I could improve on x
