AN: Hello! Welcome back to SS. If you read the previous chapter and though "Oh great…it's a repeat of what happened to Shuichi…" well let me tell you, it's not. Read on and you'll see for yourself the surprise of the series!

Chapter Four: Lust

When Riku had informed us of what this kid Aizawa and his friends did to him, I couldn't control my anger; I hit the walls and cursed. To be honest I didn't know what to do….

"Yuki, please!" Shuichi begs, "Let's just see what's going on."

I turned my back on my lover and refused once again, "I don't want Riku to see that mother-fucking lunatic and his screwed up son!"

Shuichi steps up to me, "Listen, we need to go. While you stay at the front door with Riku, I can talk to Tachi since you don't have the balls to."

I turned around ablaze with fierce golden eyes.

"Don't fucking start this shit with me Shuichi!" I didn't need Shuichi to add fuel to the fire while it's already burning like hell.

Shuichi is taken aback, maybe fuckin' realized that his plan is dumb as hell.

"Yuki, please…let me go. You don't have to be near him…Riku doesn't either." He whispered. He walked over to the bed and sits on it; he laid his head in his head. I couldn't help but feel a little guilty…I sat next to him. God dammit, what happened to me? When did I become such a fuckin' softy?

"Hey Shuichi…" I wrapped my arm around him, "Let's go over to that kid's house today and talk to him. Riku can come too…"

Shuichi perked up and he smiled. "Thank you Yuki!" he looked at his watch and slightly frowned, "We have to get Riku from school, it's almost 11:30."

I sighed. "Alright…" I fuckin' hope Taki doesn't try anything or I'm gonna kill him.

Shuichi POV

When we arrived at Riku's school, he was already standing out front. When he saw his Papa's distinctive car, he automatically smiled with his blue eyes shining brightly. When we parked, Riku ran to us and when he saw Yuki, he flew in his arms. Yuki happily embraced him and said softly, "Hey there kiddo." Riku hugged his neck.

Yuki set him down and I kneeled down to his eye level and I smiled. "Hey Riku…we need to go somewhere to talk about something." Riku just stared at me in confusion.

"Am I in trouble?" He said innocently.

I kissed his forehead in reinsurance, "No of course not sweetie. We need to talk to someone that has been bothering you, okay?"

Riku gently nods his head.

Yuki and I had talked to the principal of the school, but we didn't tell him about the things that been going on with Riku. Not until we confront Aizawa…or at least me.

On the way to the house, Riku had been quiet. Of course Riku is always quiet, but right after school he loved to tell us –especially Yuki- about his school day. It took only a few minutes to drive to the Aizawa household.

A car was already parked in the driveway—someone was home. I inhaled deeply…I was going to face Tachi Aizawa who tormented me for almost five years…five years of agony. I sighed again.

"Everything okay?" Yuki asked.

"I'm just anxious. You know, it's been a couple years since I last faced him…"

Riku yawned a little, "Mama, why are you anxious?"

I looked back at Riku, "I'm just a little worried about meeting someone."

"Oh…" Riku remained silent after that.

Yuki put the car in parked in front of the house with the address the principal gave us. Yuki patted my leg and gave me a kiss before getting out of the car.

Each step I took made my heart race harder than I could ever imagine. I soon find my feet mounted in front of the door. I hesitate to ring the doorbell….my finger trembled and I pressed the doorbell.

I heard footsteps from the inside of the house and I took a deep breath and I immediately froze when I saw a woman standing in front of me.

"Yes?" she said politely. She was cute with short black hair and bronzed skin. Is this the kid's mother? "Who are you?" she asked politely.

I hesitated, "H-Hello, my name is Shuichi Uesagi…I um, I came to talk to you and your husband about your kid's actions at school."

Her brows narrowed and a confused expression washed over her face. "You must be mistaken, Yuuta's father died two years ago…I'm his mother."

I froze. A sudden shiver sliced down my body. Tachi Aizawa is dead. It's weird to know that he's dead…but at the same time I'm glad that he was. I wished I could've confront him about it though.

"What do you want to know?" she asked.

"Yes…my son, Riku…he told his father and I about a recent bullying from your son."

She gasps, "What? My Yuuta would never do that to another kid!"

I stared at her and thought, Well, I can hardly believe it since he does have Tachi's blood coursing through his veins.

She turns around for a moment and calls for her son, "Yuuta-chan, come here!" she said gently. Little trots came from afar and in moments came a little boy. He looked a lot like his father but he hid behind his mother—he's shy just like Riku.

She lays a calm hand on his shoulder and said, "Uesagi-san told me you've been hurting another kid at school…a Riku-kun?"

He immediately stared up at his mother with horrified eyes. He violently shook his head, "No!" he shouted, "I didn't hurt him! I was trying to stop the other older boys from hurting him! I like Riku a lot!"

I stare confusingly at the both of them. This kid is nothing like Tachi. He started to cry at the accusation. "I never want to hurt Riku! They burnt him…"

The mother looked back at me, "You happy? My son never hurts anyone and now you've made him sad." She bent down to Yuuta's height and said, "It's okay, Yuuta…"

He sniffled, "Riku got hurt though…and now he hates me!" He buried his head in his hands and started to cry again. His mother tries to calm him down, "Riku doesn't hate you...he was just mistaken."

I jump into the conversation, "Hey, I have Riku in the car. How about I grab him and we can clear this misunderstanding? Riku is a nice kid and he probably got confused about who had hurt him."

The both of them grin, "Alright." She said, "I think that's a good idea."

I smiled at the both of them and walked back to the car. When I opened the car door to tell Yuki about what happened, he looked confused. "What the hell happened? All I see is a broad and a brat over there? Where is that damn Tachi Aizawa."

"He's dead." I replied. Yuki's pupils widened and he looked like he felt what I felt—confused, mad, and glad.

"That's…unexpected. So is the kid as much messed up as his dad?"

I shook my head, "No, far from it. He's just like Riku."

"I thought that he was the one to hurt Riku." He said.

I turned to Riku and smiled gently, "Hey Riku. Yuuta Aizawa didn't hurt you, did he?"

Riku averted his eyes and whispered, "No…he was in the behind the older kids and yelling. I didn't know what was happening. I thought he did…"

Yuki sighed irritably, "What the hell…" he whispered under his breath, too low for Riku to hear.

"C'mon Riku, Yuuta thinks that he hates you." Riku shook his head. "Riku…Yuuta didn't hurt you. He wants to be your friend. In fact, you tried to save you from that other mean kids."

Riku frowned. "Only if Papa comes…"

Yuki undid his seatbelt and got out of the car and walked to Riku's car door. He opened it, "C'mon kid." Riku unfastened his seatbelt and Yuki picked him up, Riku buried his head in Yuki's shoulder as all three of us walked up to the house.

The mother gasped at the man carrying the child. Her eyes widen, "Y-You're Yuki Eiri!" she screeches. Yuki rolled his eyes. Another fan girl yet again gasping over him. I learned to tolerate it but now it's getting pretty annoying.

She turned toward me, "This can't be you're…"

I sigh, "Yes, this is my husband and our child." She takes a double look at us.

"Wow…" she said happily. "This is so unexpected." For a moment she forgot about what this meeting was really about until Yuuta spoke.

"Hey Riku…" he murmured. Riku lifts his head up and turned it to briefly look at Yuuta. Yuki put the unwilling Riku down and he immediately ran behind his father.

"Hey Riku…" I said, "Yuuta wants to tell you somethin'."

Yuuta blushes, "Riku, you wanna be friends?" he looked down at the floor, "I really like you."

Riku looked past Yuki's legs and he looked at him, "Okay…" he stepped past Yuki's legs and up to Yuuta.

"I didn't mean to scare you…I wanted to scare off those mean, big kids from hurting you." Yuuta looked away, his face was getting redder. Riku stepped closer and smiled cheekily at the boy. "Yeah, I'm sorry I said you did those things."

Yuuta smiled broadly and looked up at his mother, "Hey mom, can we have Riku and his dads over for dinner?"

She looked at him and slowly at us and she answered with a wide smile, "Of course!" She invited us into her house.

We came to know her as Chiho Aizawa. She was delicate and kind—except when Yuki agreed to give her a signed copy of his book. She went wild with excitement. In the meanwhile, Riku and Yuuta sat next to each other and they played with each other's food. They were so cute together. In the end, Riku was able to tell us the real boys who hurt them and when Yuki and I notified the principle, he automatically expelled the boys. Riku went back to school and came home with a bright smile. He loved school even more ever since he met Yuuta Aizawa.

I thought it was ironic that the son of the man who tortured, raped, and abused me became such good friends with my son.

I'M SO SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE!
I've been so busy with my last year of high school! Please forgive me!
