Ch.3 My Heart Shatters, and As Does Yours

I can't hold on to me,
Wonder what's wrong with me.

Crack

Crack

Crack

The sound of the whips still echoed in the thread master's ears. He hadn't thought that the Jackal would go so easy on him.

Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside.

He was still conscious. After 12 hours straight of the Jackal's torture, her was still conscious. And not only that, he was even more enamored with the man, thinking that he must have gone easy on him. He was convinced that the Jackal's mean side would have called for him to at least have drawn more blood; instead, it was like he was cracking; like he was no longer himself.

Kazuki reaches up to his hair and grabs some threads, cutting through the chains that bound him to the wall. 'Heh, he really thought he could hold me with these?' he wonders to himself, as he relishes in the absence of the heavy chains.

Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without...

Akabane's point of view

I can't believe myself. What is WRONG with me?! I had him right there…RIGHT THERE! And I couldn't even make him cave. He screamed, he yelled, he begged me for mercy, and I LET HIM HAVE IT!

I'm slipping. I just have to get back into my game.

Yes. That's it….but something about his wails. They broke my heart. They made me fret, made me want to go easy on him. What is WRONG with me? He's like…..a drug. The sweet smell of him. His tears, his blood, his sweat, his fear. The smell of him. The TASTE of him. He is so much more entertaining than Mr. Ginji and Mr. Ban. Yes, so much more.

I've got to have him.

"Heh. This was supposed to make him not love me…not ME love him."

"You love me, Jackal-kun?"

"Umm…"

"Please, just say you do…it will make my life that much better.

Just a rough chapter. If I get a chance soon, I'll post another chapter. wave
