Heartaches

Chapter Five

By Kellyq

Kiryu lay on the floor, staring at the ceiling. Thoughts, and hallucinations started to run through his head. A dark eerie chuckle came from the back of his throat. Kiryu rolled to his side and got to his hands and knees. Kiryu started to move some empty bear cans, syringes, and little empty bags that used to contain white powder. Sweat started to come down his forehead as he made a pathway for himself. Kiryu's golden eyes started to scan for a black and blue box that had a carving of a dragon head that had three eyes.

"Where did I put that thing?"

Fear started to show in Kiryu's unfocused eyes. He started to throw dirty clothes in random directions. By now Kiryu's body was shaking. He grabbed a nearby dirty blanket and wrapped himself in it. Kiryu took a breath, feeling nauseous. Right then there was a knock at the door.

"Hey, Kiryu," came Crow's voice from the other side of the door. "Are you in there, man?"

The doorknob turned and the red-haired teen stepped in with a bag of groceries in his arm. Green eyes met golden ones. Crow dropped the bag and immediately rushed over to Kiryu's side. The blue-haired teen pushed Crow out of the way as he got up and staggered to the bathroom. Kiryu dropped to his hands and knees as he started to throw up blood.

Crow pulled out his cell phone and called 911. "This is an emergency! My friend is coughing up blood! The address is 204 S.W. Iven Street - apartment 409! And hurry, I don't know how much longer my friend will last!" Crow put his phone away and made his way to Kiryu. "I called the paramedics and they're on their way," the red-haired teen shared.

Kiryu swayed a little as stared at Crow with unfocused golden eyes. "Just who the fuck are you?"

"I'm Crow, remember?"

An eerie chuckle that sounded like raspy breathing came from the back of Kiryu's throat. "I don't know who the hell you are, but I wanna to tell ya something ... I died. My friend Yusei killed me. Don't you think he should die so we can be together for eternity?"

A cold chill ran down Crow's body. He immediately snapped out of it. "Come on buddy, we need to get you to the lobby."

Crow helped Kiryu stand as they made their to the door. The blue-haired teen blinked with confusion.

"Where are we going?" Kiryu asked, swaying a little.

The two teens had gotten into the elevator. "To the lobby, remember. I'm going to help you get better."

The elevator door opened and sirens could be heard. Crow tried to get Kiryu to move, but the sick teen wouldn't budge.

"No! I want Yusei! I want him!" Kiryu shouted, trying to free himself from Crow. "Yusei!"

"Yusei ..." Jack moaned out, feeling pleasure wash over his body as his boyfriend rubbed him.

A satisfied smirk made its way to Yusei's lips as he started to kiss Jack's neck, nipping and biting. Jack grunted in pleasure as he angled his head to kiss his boyfriend. Yusei moved his hand away from where he was rubbing, and he started to lick the substance off. Jack moved Yusei's hand away from his face and kissed his boyfriend. The blonde-haired teen pushed Yusei on his back and started to kiss his neck. Jack shifted his body so that he was on top of Yusei, grinding their hips, creating an amassing a friction through Yusei's body.

"Jack ... stop ... teasing me!"

A glint flashed across violet eyes. Jack ran his hand up and down Yusei's chest. "Why not? I love watching you sqiurm," the blonde-haired teen murmured seductively, licking Yusei's neck. "It makes you look even more delicious."

A shock of pain and pleasure passed through Yusei's eyes as Jack moved his finger in and out of Yusei. The dark-haired teen grunted as he shifted a little. Yusei was about to say something when Jack's cell phone beeped.

"Yusei, Jack - this is Crow! Kiryu is in the hospital!"

Crow sat outside Kiryu's room, with his arms wrapped around his knee's. The look in his eyes held sorrow and pain. This is my fault, he thought. I should've ... before he could finish the thought, two silhouettes loomed over him. Crow slowly lifted his gaze to see Jack and Yusei standing there. The first thing Crow did was jump to his feet and threw himself in Yusei's arms.

"This is my fault!" Crow sobbed.

Yusei held his friend tenderly. He kissed Crow on the cheek and rocked him back and forth. Jack watched for a moment until there were footsteps from behind. The atmosphere turned cold as the three turned to see a man with copper-colored skin, blue eyes and white spiky hair pulled back in a low ponytail. This man went by the name of Rudger. He wore all black and dangly golden earrings. Jack narrowed his eyes, not liking the hostile vibes he was getting.

"Who the hell are you?" Jack asked roughly.

A smirk made its way to Rudger's lips. "Ah. You must Jack Atlus," he said, eyeing the blonde-haired teen. Rudger's eyes shifted from Jack to Crow and then Yusei.

The teen pulled away from Crow and walked up. "You must be Rudger." Jack watched the older man closely, not liking the way Rudger was staring at his boyfriend. "Kiryu's legal garden," Yusei started to share. "So you must know that he's been taken drugs and broken the law more than once."

Rudger stared calmly at Yusei. "I thought you looked familar. You're Yusei Fudo. The one who destroyed Kiryu -"

"Yusei just flat out -" Before Jack could finish, his boyfriend touched his arm and shook his head.

"I have been trying to give him the help he needs," Yusei explained. "And be there for him like a friend should."

"I may have to ask you gentlemen to leave," came a voice that Yusei recognized right off the bat. "Visiting hours are over."

Yusei and Jack turned to see Akiza standing there. A resourceful young woman with charry-red-hair that was shaped like a bell flower. The ends of her hair spiked out. Akiza's long side hairs framed her face nicely. She had fair soft skin, brown-walnut shaped eyes. Her dress was black. It covered half of her breasts to her knee's. The coat that she had on was red and white, with ruffles.

A faint smile made its way to Yusei's lips. "Long time no see, Akiza."

The young woman blinked in confusion, and smiled when she recongized her ex-boyfriend - Yusei.
