The Truth is Hard to Handle

Chapter 11

Trapped

I warn all readers that this chapter gets very adult. I will not give away the ending, but if it were a movie, it would be rated R.

"Masaya! Why are you doing this?!" Ichigo cried, trying her hardest to resist her captor. The knife was in Masaya's pocket. There was no reason to fear him now. He couldn't hurt her more than he already had.

"Because," Masaya snapped. He dragged Ichigo on, just feet from the café entrance. His (dorky) van awaited him outside. He opened the back door and shoved Ichigo in.

Masaya jumped into the driver's side and started up the car, speeding off. Ichigo knelt as far to the back as she could. She'd tried the door, but it was locked. Pulling a Mew move would cause Masaya to swerve and possibly kill them both. All she could do was wait.

Ichigo surveyed her surroundings. The seats had been taken out of the van, as to leave more room for captives. There was a wooden board blocking the back of the van from the driving part. The back of the van was dark and empty. Ichigo felt so alone. She changed back to her normal self, feeling defeated.

Suddenly, Ichigo felt vibration in her back pocket. She'd forgotten that she'd had her cell phone with her. It was Ryou, trying to call her. She worried that Masaya could hear her calling, so she hit "Ignore." Then, she texted him.

'Help me!' she wrote.

'Where R U?' was the reply.

'N Masaya's van,' she texted back.

'Duh!' was Ryou's message, 'Outside. R U going 2 the alien hideout?'

'I dunno,' Ichigo wrote, 'I can't C outside.'

Ryou didn't write back. Ichigo tensed up. What was going on?

Finally, a new text came, 'Ichigo! It's Mint. How R U?'

'Scared,' Ichigo wrote.

'Don't worry,' Mint wrote after a short pause, 'We're going to get you out.'

Suddenly Ichigo was jerked forward, and she realized they had stopped. 'G2G,' Ichigo wrote quickly, 'Van's stpng. Mebe b back l8er.'

She jammed the phone in her pocket. She could hear Masaya fumble with the keys and then unlock the back door.

Ichigo's heart pounded. Masaya jumped into the van and slammed the door before Ichigo could see out. Ichigo would've cried, but he didn't deserve to see her fear. She put on a face showing confidence.

"Stand up," Masaya commanded.

Ichigo stood. She felt as if she had no other choice.

"Turn," Masaya said.

Ichigo turned so her back faced him. What was next, do the hokey-pokey?

Masaya put a bandana around her eyes and her mouth. He tied her hands and feet together and lifted her. He carried her out of the van and then slammed the door. He began to walk again, opening another door and shutting it. Then he walked up some stairs, and into a new room, shutting a new door. Ichigo was dropped on a bed.

Masaya untied the gag and blinder. She looked around, squinting as her eyes adjusted to the light. What she saw surprised her. She'd expected the alien hideout. She'd expected a rundown apartment.

She had not expected her own bedroom.

Masaya looked at her as she looked around. It certainly looked like her bedroom. It smelled like her bedroom. But was it?

"Say something," Masaya said, smiling lovingly at her.

Ichigo disobeyed. She stayed quiet and scooted herself against her headboard. Why was she here?

Masaya stood and Ichigo became nervous. He walked to the door. He shut it and locked it. He slid the key underneath the door, so it was out of reach. Next he walked to the window. This, too he shut and locked. He also pulled the drape down over it. Finally, he walked back to Ichigo on the bed. He sat on the edge and began to untie her. But why?

Next he leaned forward so, so slowly. He tilted his head and gently kissed her. His hands found their way to her back. He was touching her softly, but not in a perverted way. He touched her in the "I love you" sort of way. Ichigo kissed him back, worried of the consequences if she didn't, and found herself putting her hands on his face.

Ichigo felt…safe, almost. She thought back to all the happy times. Thought about how he'd done what he'd done because he loved her, and he was jealous of Ryou.

Wait a minute! What was happening? She couldn't go back to Masaya – not after what he'd done! Her mind said 'pull away' but her body disagreed. It felt this was right. It felt that Masaya deserved a second chance. Masaya pressed against her and Ichigo pressed back. She loved him. But she loved Ryou. Argh! So confusing!

Masaya was first to pull away. "How does it feel?" he asked, "Honest truth."

"It feels great," Ichigo admitted, panting and staring him straight in the eye, "but I can't. I love Ry…" she didn't finish the sentence, because Masaya was kissing her again. Holding her again. And, again, she was kissing him back.

His hands began to feel her halter tank top. Feel for a way to get it off. Finally, he found the tie and untied it, sliding it over her head. They continued to kiss.

'Why aren't you stopping this?' her damn conscience said, 'You know this can't be. Ryou's the one you love.' Ichigo didn't want to hurt Masaya, physically and emotionally, and that was why she didn't stop it.

Masaya felt her body up and down again, this time feeling her jeans for the fly. He unbuttoned and unzipped her jeans and slid them off.

Ichigo pushed him off of him quickly. "No, no, no," she told him, "I can't! We can't! It's too late! Don't you see? You ruined it!"

Masaya took this time while she sobbed to take off his own t-shirt and jeans, so he was only in his boxers. Then he pushed onto her again and kissed her cheek, her neck, her stomach.

Ichigo kicked him off of her and cuddled under the comforter of the bed. Why? Why had she done this? She couldn't! She'd dug herself into a ditch that she couldn't get herself out of.

"Never," she said. But it came out muffled because her head was under her sheet.

"What?" he asked, trying to get onto her again.

She pulled her head out, "I will never date you again. I will never kiss you again. I will never love you again. NEVER! I missed you when you died, but I moved on with my life. I advise you do the same."

Masaya became angry. He ripped the bed sheet off her and grabbed her wrist to pull her up to a seated position. He tore off her bra and pushed her back down. He kissed her again, this time pressing into as hard as he could to keep her from escaping. He pulled off his underwear as well as hers and tried to rape her. He tried very hard, but didn't succeed. She struggled too much.

Ichigo struggled, but he was strong. She finally rolled him off of her and kicked the sweet spot to buy herself some time. Ichigo ran for her jeans. She ripped out her cell phone and made a message to Ryou. "911 home" was all she had time to write, because Masaya was up off the ground and onto her again, pulling her back down to the ground. He pushed her down so she tripped. She knocked her head and became dizzy. He was touching her all over.

Not good.

She curled into a little ball, trying to evade him. He was looking for a way to uncurl her, but found none. He tried to bite her shoulder, apparently sensing that hurting her was the best way to uncurl her.

He grumbled and punched her shoulder. Ichigo cried out in pain, but remained in a ball. He flared and squeezed the sides of her waist, tickling her.

She shrieked, this time uncurling herself. He was onto her again in a heartbeat. This time, he didn't seem as concerned with trying to kiss her or touch her or rape her, but he just wanted to hurt her. He punched her and bit her a couple times and even pulled her hair. He lifted her again and hit her head against the wall. She crumpled, unconscious.

Masaya smiled. Goal succeeded. He lifted her again and tucked her into bed. He dressed himself and sat in Ichigo's desk chair, but stood as he realized he sat on something. He stood and found Ichigo's cell phone. He read the message portrayed on the screen. "Message "911 home" successfully sent to Ryou," it said.

Shit. He knew what that meant. Ryou was coming here. He stood and walked to the window. Double shit. Ryou was already here.

And he looked angry.
