Duel Seventeen: Keith, part two

Monday

"Please state your name and age for the record."

He took a deep, shaky breath. "Motou Yuugi, sixteen."

He sat in an interrogation room with the chief of police. A steel table sat in the room with them and three chairs, two of which were occupied. Yuugi felt so small and alone. Kurowaka wasn't scaring him or pressuring him. He was being very kind and gentle, speaking in a calm, soothing voice.

It wasn't the man of authority that scared him. It was the room. Something about it made him feel so small. There was an unexplainable pressure in the room. A kind of weight that was pushing down on him. Something was off about this place, this day. Yuugi had no idea what it was, but something just wouldn't sit right with him.

Kurowaka wrote down a few notes and looked back up at Yuugi. "When was the first time you met Keith?"

"When I was fourteen. I was walking down the street and he and I ran into each other." Kurowaka nodded and wrote down a few more notes. Yuugi wasn't sure why he was writing notes since there was a tape recorder copying everything they were saying.

The interrogation continued. Kurowaka made sure he asked all of the necessary questions but each inquiry hurt Yuugi more and more. "When you ran away from your step-father, where did Keith take you?"

"H-he took us to his apartment. Th-that was when . . ." Yuugi trailed off at this point, hoping Kurowaka would get the idea of what happened so the boy wouldn't have to explain it again.

"That was when? What happened?"

Yuugi closed his eyes to keep the tears from falling. He hated crying. Yuugi opened his eyes once more only to have drops of sorrow fall down his face. "That was w-when . . . Keith raped me for the first time."

He raised an eyebrow. "The first time. It happened more then once?"

Yuugi nodded, whimpering as images filled his head. "I-I don't know how many times it happened, but it wasn't just once. He-he said . . ." Yuugi couldn't hold back a sob. He took a deep, gasping breath and weakly continued. "He said he couldn't get enough of me. He said, 'now I know why your step dad made so much money off of you.'"

Kurowaka sighed. He felt terrible to open these wounds again. But to keep Keith off the streets, it might be the only option. He wrote down a few notes and stopped the recorder. "Motou-san, if you want, you can go get some air. Get your self together and we can finish this when you're ready."

Yuugi nodded. "I'm sorry."

"Don't be. It's ok. I'll tell your friends you would rather be alone." Kurowaka got up from his chair to open the door for Yuugi, but the boy ran out of the room before he got a chance to.

Yami, Mai and Seto were all waiting just outside the door with great anxiety. Their fears only increased when Yuugi ran past them and then out the exit. Yami stood up and was just about to race after him, but Kurowaka held him back. "I'm sorry Atemu-san, but Motou-san told me that he needed to be alone for a minute."

"What the hell happened in their?" Mai angrily demanded. "What did you do to him!" Seto grabbed her arm to keep her from attacking him. He whispered that she needed to calm down.

"I was asking him questions about Keith and he started to get a little emotional. I thought it best that I give him a moment so he might compose himself before we continue. I don't have very many questions left so it won't take very long."

Yami and Mai were going to say something but Seto cut them off. "Thank you very much, Kurowaka-san."

He nodded and walked towards the receptionist desk. Yami sighed. "I hate this. Yuugi is in so much pain. I could see in his eyes that it's hurting him to retell the story of his past."

Seto completely agreed. Even though he only saw Yuugi's face for a moment, he could plainly see tears and hurt glittering in those unmistakable eyes. "I know it doesn't seem fair, Yami. But you know it could be the best way to give the police a good lead. I don't want to do this to him any more then you do. But we don't have too much of a choice."

Mai sat down and leaned forward. "I just wish I could be in there with him. I know how much pain he's in and I could help him through it."

"We all could. But Kurowaka-san said he have to stay out. It's regulation to only have police and whom they're questioning in there. We know we wouldn't influence Yuugi's answers, but they don't. It's only a precaution and a sensible one." Seto reasoned. Both he and Yami sat down once more, waiting for Yuugi's return.

Yami took a slow deep breath. His heart was twisted with sorrow and anger for Yuugi. He couldn't stand seeing tears in those beautiful orbs of amethyst. They should only shine with happiness. He let out the breath he had been holding for a moment. 'Why is it so hard to be happy?'

XxX

Yuugi burst out of the door ignoring a strange look from an officer who was entering the building. He pressed his side up against the wall. One hand covered his face in despair, the other holding his side to calm his shaking. 'Why is this so hard for me? I don't understand. It's all in the past now. It can't be changed and it can't be undone. Why can't I just move on and not cry about this any more?'

He sobbed a few times, turning around violently when he felt a hand on his shoulder. It was the officer that looked so strangely at him not but a few seconds ago. His racing heartbeat slowed and he moved the hand on his face to his shoulder.

The officer looked upon Yuugi with concern and caring. Yuugi couldn't see any trace of falsity in this man's eyes. "I didn't mean to scare you. I was just wondering if you were hurt."

Yuugi shook his head. "No, I'm ok. I just got a little scared." He went on to explain about the interrogations, but also said that he would be all right. The officer completely understood. "A little alone time is what's best if you're feeling down."

He smiled and walked away. Yuugi sighed. 'I suppose I should get this over with.' He turned around to walk to the door. A voice from behind him spoke. "You shouldn't be alone for too long. Who knows what kind of creeps could get to you."

Yami looked up at the clock. Yuugi was gone for twenty minutes. There's no way it could have taken that long. "Something's not right. He's been gone for too long."

Seto stood up. "I'll go talk with Kurowaka-san."

Yami got up from his seat and walked quickly towards the door. 'Please be all right Yuugi.' He pushed open the door and scanned the area. "Yuugi?" He called out. But there was no answer. "Yuugi!"

"Hey! You!" A voice cried.

Yami turned to his right and glared. Someone with blonde, spiky layered hair was running towards him. He wore a hooded sleeveless shirt with small chains hanging in the front as well as black cargo pants and a blue belt. The boy stopped in front of Yami and caught his breath. "Are you Atemu Yami? You are, aren't you."

He nodded. "Yes. Why? Who are you?"

"My name is Malik." He said.

Yami gasped. "Malik?"

He nodded again. "I know my name is familiar to you. Marik was my twin brother. But that's not important. I came here to help you find Yuugi."

"You know where Keith's hide out is!" He cried.

Malik sighed. "Yes. But we have to hurry. Yuugi is in great danger."

Yami turned around and opened the door. "Kaiba! We found Keith!"

--

They sped down the street in Seto's limo. They were able to bypass the traffic because of the police escort they had. In the back of the car, Marik started explaining everything to Yami, Seto and Mai.

"I lived in Nagano with my brother, Marik. Our parents died when we were seven, so we lived on the streets for a while. But when we were fourteen, we met Keith."

Yami blinked. 'Yuugi was fourteen when he first met Keith . . .'

"He took us under his wing and made my brother apart of his gang. I tried to stop him but there was nothing I could do. Keith has a way of making people do whatever he wants. Marik was persuaded to be Keith's right hand man. They went around doing all sorts of things. I'm sure you know what they did. But then, when I was seventeen, Keith met Yuugi."

Seto crossed his arms. "Aren't you a part of Keith's gang?" Malik nodded, and he continued with an untrusting tone. "Then why are you helping us?"

"Because Keith is the reason my brother is dead. I know Marik did a lot of bad things in his life. I never said he was a good person. But he's still my brother. I loved him so much. I always hated Keith for what he did to my brother. I'll never forgive him and I won't let him get away with this any longer."

XxX

Yuugi froze. He couldn't move. He couldn't breath. Hearing that voice again made his heart stop. 'Don't let it be true.'

A large, rough hand grabbed his hand and turned him around. Yuugi felt his legs starting to walk forward. He couldn't stop himself. He couldn't do anything. Keith was taking him somewhere and his body wouldn't do anything to stop it. The shock had frozen his mind and overwhelmed him.

It didn't take too long for them to arrive at Ushio's apartment; Keith's new hideout. He had sent all of his underlings away so he and Yuugi could have a little "alone time". But before they left, Keith had them arrange all the furniture so it looked identical to the apartment he had back in Nagano.

Yuugi's fear increased when he saw the oh-so-familiar arrangement surrounding him. So many memories filled his head. Fresh tears fell from his eyes and he started to shake. Keith stood behind him and snaked his arms around his body. "I know you're afraid, Yuugi. But don't you worry. I'll make sure you come really hard when I fuck you."

Yuugi found a sudden burst of strength and flew out of Keith's arms. "Leave me alone! I won't let you touch me again!" He screamed. But then his voice grew quiet. "Not like that . . ."

Keith laughed. "You won't let me? Oh come on. You want me to fuck you so badly you're in denial."

Yuugi shouted, "You're wrong! I don't feel like that!"

He scoffed and shook his head. "Yuugi, you're pathetic. You've kept everyone out of your pants for so long you've forgotten how good it feels to be fucked." Keith slowly started walking towards Yuugi. With each step the bandit took, Yuugi would take one step back, slowly and unknowingly trapping himself into a corner. "The pleasure you feel when I touch you. I know you remember it."

Yuugi's back suddenly hit the wall. He couldn't escape now and Keith knew it. He put one hand on the wall beside Yuugi's head and the other on his shoulder. "How could you forget when I left that scar on your neck?"

His calloused index finger traced the outline of the scar that Keith had given Yuugi the first time they had ever been together. "And I know you haven't forgotten our little bathtub escapade. I'm so glad I let you have a bath that day."

Yuugi whimpered as more tears cascaded down his cheeks. "Stop it. No more." His voice was so weak that the words he spoke came out as a mere whisper. Keith grabbed both of Yuugi's wrists and pinned his arms above his head.

Keith dived down and caught Yuugi's lips in a searing kiss. He bit Yuugi's bottom lip to gain entrance to the delicious cavern. Keith moaned as the sweet sugary taste enveloped his senses and took him over. 'Better then I remember.'

Yuugi screamed. How could he have let Keith do this! Yuugi didn't want anyone to kiss him unless it was Yami. But now . . . How could he have let this happen?

Keith finally pulled away and groaned noisily. He stared into Yuugi's eyes and chuckled. "Yuugi, don't bother resisting. You know how badly you want this. Maybe even more then I do."

"No I don't!" Yuugi screamed with all his might. But his courageous front was broken when he started to sob.

"If you didn't then why aren't you fighting me?" Keith asked. "If you don't fight against something then obviously you're for it."

Yuugi gasped. 'That's not true. I don't . . .' But with Keith's strangely logical reasoning, it was hard to believe himself. He loved Yami with all his heart. There was no denying it! That was the one thing Yuugi knew was true. So why wasn't he fighting Keith? Yuugi barely put up a struggle so far. Could what Keith said be true? Yuugi didn't want this . . . did he?

Keith quietly laughed as he saw the battle going on inside Yuugi. Did he or didn't he? Either way now was the perfect time to trick him. Keith sunk low towards Yuugi's ear and whispered. "See? I know you want me to fuck you and don't you worry, I will. But I don't want you to hold back. All these years you've wanted someone, anyone, to fuck you. But you said no and turned away. I want all that lust to come out. Let go of all you're restrictions and see the true you."

Keith started nibbling on Yuugi's earlobe. Yuugi, who was caught off guard, quietly moaned while Keith's tongue caressed his ear. He couldn't hold it back. It's as if something inside him snapped. And on some level, Yuugi didn't care. He could feel warmth in his body. One he hadn't felt for a long time. It was comforting but he hated it. Yuugi opened his eyes to realize that he was reacting to what Keith was doing to him, giving him further incentive.

"NO!" Yuugi violently twisted his body. Thankfully, his legs were free and he was able to successfully kick Keith between the legs. The twenty-six year old groaned and nearly doubled over. He stood up and stared at Yuugi, anger raging like a fire.

"I tried to make you want it. I was gonna be gentle with you." Keith angrily laughed, clenching his teeth. "But now I'm gonna show you just how rough I can be. You're gonna come so hard it'll rip your dick from your body!"

Keith spun Yuugi around and pushed him up against the wall. He grabbed both of the boy's arms and bent them behind his back, pushing harder and harder. Yuugi was almost positive Keith was going to break his arms. But instead, he started to drag Yuugi to the bedroom.

He threw Yuugi onto the bed and glared at him. Yuugi got up and tried to get off the bed, but before that, Keith slapped Yuugi across the face. The boy yelped and flew back onto the mattress. He held his cheek that was now red and stared up at the man towering over him.

"That was for kicking me." Before Yuugi knew what was happening, Keith slammed his fist into the boy's stomach to knock all the wind out of him. "That had better teach you to obey me!"

XxX

Yami and the others were ordered to stay outside of the building. But Yami wasn't about to leave his lover alone up there where Keith was holding him captive. He ran up the stairs, straying away from the broken elevator. Malik told him it was the fifth floor. It took less time then he thought and when he arrived in room 506, he nearly slammed the door down and quickly scanned the room.

"NO! STOP IT!"

Yami's ear burned as he heard Yuugi's desperate and breathless voice. He ran to where the rustling and grunting was coming from and threw the door open. The sight he saw was burned into his eyes forever.

Keith was laying on top of Yuugi, shirtless, pants opened and eyes burning with lust and anger. Yuugi's condition was worse then he thought it would be. His cheeks were flushed red, but one of them was deeper then the other and Yami could see a bruise was starting to form. His shirt had been ripped open and Yami could see bite marks dotting his chest. Yuugi's arms were pinned above his head with one hand. Keith's other hand had found it's way into Yuugi's boxers and his pants were pushed down around his knees.

Keith glared at the sudden intrusion of the teen he recognized from the picture. Yuugi turned his head to the side, weakly opened his eyes and begged for Yami to save him. He couldn't breath so no sound would escape from his throat. There was only a high-pitched whistling noise as Yuugi tried to breath.

Yami couldn't take it any more. "GET AWAY FROM HIM!" He ran forward and slammed his already sore shoulder into Keith's side. If he were to knock anything else down with that shoulder he swore he would break it.

There wasn't any time to see if Yuugi could be moved before Keith got up again. Yami picked him up and ran out of the room as fast as he could. He whispered gently to the boy as they ran. "Yuugi, I'm so sorry. Please hang on! It'll be ok! Don't leave me!"

He met the police on his way down. They split to either side of the stairwell and one of them yelled that an ambulance was on its way. Yami said nothing, as he was too concerned on getting Yuugi to safety. He just hoped that the police would be able to restrain Keith. As long as Yuugi was safe . . .
