Chapter 6
Akihito stood there dumbfounded. He couldn't even process the information well enough to feel upset or angry, he was just so overwhelmed with the new information that it caused him to be in a state of shock.
"Ya, I'm pretty sure I had the same look on my face when I found out too. What the Chief is doing is sickening and he honestly believes its best for the people." Takato said with a sad expression. Just a couple weeks ago his father unloaded the truth of their situation onto him and he still couldn't fathom the reason why. The truth about what an omega is, and that the village was crawling with them wasn't the worst part at all. In fact, if that was it he could understand the need to be separated from the world but that wasn't true at all.
While the rest of the village believe that they lived completely isolated, he and his father were the only ones who knew the truth. To keep the village omegas a secrete the chief made a deal with a close by village to keep quite and for protection if needed, in exchanged the chief would supple a new omega each couple of years for their enjoyment. Unfortunately for them Fei Long knew about the village ahead of time and chose to take refuge there which caused the "helping" village to up their price to keep silent. In a sort amount of time 6 of the village omegas have been sent as payment. With the kings' obvious lack of knowledge about the omegas it seemed to have worked but at what cost.
From Takato understanding the women and men sent down as payment were treated horribly. Little to no food, raped and beaten daily, poor living arrangements and once they outlived their usefulness they were killed. It gave him quite a fright to think that it could be his beloved friend Akihito to be sent as payment. He understood the reason why the chief wanted to keep quiet about the village, but this wasn't the way to go about it.
While Takato stood their looking out into the forest to give Akihito time to process the new information he failed to see the shift in Aki from shock to pissed. And all he could manage was a sharp yell at the air while the boy went running away at full speed.
Running at full speed in no direction, Aki was finally able to think. He, an omega, a person who was made for sex and to repopulate at an enormous speed. A person who spewed off strong hormones to let everyone around him know what he was. He was supposed to be a sex slave and nothing more. Akihito was having none of it.
He would never be used as a sex slave, never be mistreated and never put into a box solely because he was born a certain way. He could accept being an omega, after all he knew his friend would never lie to him, but that didn't change how he saw himself. He was a person just like everyone else and he would be damned if he was to be treated any other way. What the chief was doing to others like him was wrong.
It didn't matter if it was for the greater good, those people mattered and for him to just turn his back on them angered Akihito in a way he has never felt before. To think that his aunt, who went missing three years ago could have been one of the omegas sent gave him chills. She was such a sweet and caring soul and to loss her was hard enough now to think of how she died and how the last few moments of her life was like hurt his heart. No one should be treated in such a way.
Having ran through the whole village, Aki found himself at the opposite end and that is where he finally sat down and allowed himself to cry.
His parents knew who he was and kept it from him. They lied to him his whole life. He never imagines his heart could hurt so much. The pain of finding the truth about yourself, the truth about the missing (now dead) people and to hear your parents have been lying to you was all just too much for him so hidden by a big barn surrounded by trees he cried.
Taking the only seat in the room, Asami looked the chief over and pleased to find him nervous. After speaking to Kirishima this morning, Asami came to know every dirty detail of what the chief was doing, and he wasn't pleased at all. "Do you know why I called you here this morning?"
"N-n-no your majesty, i-i-is something the ma-matter?" stuttering through his responds, the chief kept eye contact with the king.
"No? well then, let me fix that." Moving swiftly, Asami stood up and hit the chief in his stomach hard enough to knock the air from his lungs and the feet from under him he chief to fall to his knees. "You claim that this village and its people are the most important things to you and, yet you fail to inform the citizens about being an omega and the dangers that come with it."
"I did that to protect them from filthy scum who only want to use them! If they had known the truth they would live their whole lives in fear of being attack or persecuted, this way they had some chance of living a normal life!" The chief interrupted Asami, screaming at him still in his kneeling position. All he received though was a hard and angered stare.
"To protect you say, were you protecting the ones you sent to die as payment?" hearing this the chief stilled and his eye got big from shock, but he quickly shook himself out of it.
"How is that any different from you sending out your troops to die in battle?! If most of your people live in harmony isn't it worth a few deaths to insure it!? How many people hav- "before the chief could finish his rant Suoh gave him a knockout blow to the back of his head.
An hour or so to the chief came to only to find himself in a different location. He was no longer in a room at the inn but now he was in the woods surrounded by trees and some very scary men with King Asami standing in front of him. He tried to move his hand to touch his aching head but soon found himself unable to. Looking down he discovered it was because he was tied up to a tree and was stripped bear for all to see.
"I see your back, good because I would hate for you to miss the fun." Walking up close to the chief he stops right in front of him and grabbed his chin forcing him to look up and meet Asami eyes. "I the King, hear by sentence you to death for the illegal selling of my people and for murdering the innocent. As for the form of death I declare it be by 50 lashing and then left in the forest to die." A dark smiling came on Asami's face as he enjoyed the way the chief was shacking from fear and was trying to form word but was unable to get his mouth to work. "Suoh if you please."
Stepping back to give Suoh enough room to complete the punishment, he gave a little nod telling him to begin. Suoh rose his right arm with a long and black whip in his hand, he brought it down in a quick motion sending the end of the whip right down the chiefs chest. The wound was deep enough to cause bleeding but not deep enough to be life threatening but that did little to quite the scream that ripped out of the chiefs' throat.
To an average man the sound would be horrifying but to Asami it was music to his ears. This man deserves the punishment given to him and Asami wanted to make sure that he suffered just like those women and men did and he knew that Suoh would make sure he did.
Blow after blow, scream after scream, Asami and his men watch as Suoh brought the whip down over an over onto the man hitting his chest, arms, leg and even hitting his dick in the process a couple of times. By the time they reached 50 there was blood covering the grass around the chief with bits of flesh here or there. Suoh made his way to the man after handing the blood-soaked whip to a subordinate and slapped the man to see if he was still alive. A moan was heard but not much else still it pleased Asami to see he wasn't dead yet.
"This is goodbye and good riddance." This was the only farewell the chief got as the men followed the king back to the village, leaving him there to die from exposure and hungry animals.
"Kirishima bring Akihito to have dinner with me and bring him a change of cloths as well. Also send word back to the castle that new cloths are to be made for him as well as a room." The orders made it very clear Asami attentions were for the boy and Kirishima was pleased with it. His short experience with the boy was pleasant and he could see him thriving in the castle and making it a more warm and happier place.
"As you wish my Lord." Giving a small bow to King Asami back as they continued to make their way back.
Akihito didn't know how long he was sitting their crying when he heard a commotion from the left of him. Looking over he saw the King himself followed by several men Akihito didn't know and Kirishima. Whipping away the tears from his eyes he moved to make a quick escape but was stop by a sharp command that was soon followed by a hand roughly turning him around again.
Asami who was smiling and thanking the Gods for the good fortune, changed his expression when he saw the boys tear soaked face and watery eyes. Making short work of the distance he picked the boy up bridal style and made his way quickly to his room ignoring the weak protest from the boy.
Kirishima opened to door for the king with a respectful bow, "See to it that were not disturb till dinner." Asami order firmly walking in still holding the sniffling boy who was currently hiding his face in Asami chest in embarrassment.
"Master you have returned." The hello was cut short from Sudous mouth and was replaced with a shocked expression. Seeing Asami gently place Akihito on the bed before resting a hand on his shoulder caused a rage to fill him. Sudou was the kings favorite and was supposed to get all this attention and yet some filthy street rat was getting the gentle treatment all because he was an omega!
"I wish to be alone. There are to be no interruptions till dinner, now leave." The coldness in his voice cause a shiver to go up Sudou's spine. No matter the situation Asami voice caused his body to heat up. Reluctantly Sudou gave a bow with a quite "yes sir" and left.
Finally, alone with the boy, he turned and placed a hand under Akihitos chin to get a better look at the boy. "Why are you crying Akihito? Are you hurt?" seeing the tear stained face made the Asamis heart flutter, he wasn't a man of emotion but something about seeing the boy upset rubbed him the wrong way.
"No, I'm not hurt. I'm fine, nothing for you to worry about." Akihito answered with a pout on his lips. Even though the sight was adorable Asami didn't care for the answer.
"I asked you why you were crying, and I expect an answer Akihito." Asami said in a stern voice to show how serious he was, and it seemed to do the trick by the shudder that went through the boy's body. Instead he was meet with a stubborn face.
"Why should I tell you. Its none of your business anyway, don't you have a kingdom to run. Why the hell are you wasting time dealing with me." Asami was pleased with the snappy comeback and the stubborn face, even if his eyes showed how scared and hurt he really was, but he couldn't just let this boy get away with such blatant disrespect. Smiling down, instead of answering he pushed Akihito down on the bed making him fall on his back.
Gasping from the sudden roughness, Akihito looked up to see Asami had placed his left leg on the bed next to his and then lean down to grab his wrists and pin them above his head. "Hay! What the hell do you think you are doing!" Akihito yelled as he failed to try to get away from the king who was looking like he was enjoying this way too much. Collecting both wrist into one head, Asami was free to grab the belt from his kimono and use it to tie them together.
"You have a smart mouth you know. Did you forget that I am your king and as such should never be spoken to in such a way? Others who have meet their deaths painfully Akihito." Asami enjoyed the shiver of fear that ran from the body underneath him. "But I find you much to fun to play with to get ride of you so soon kitten," Asami didn't miss the low growl from the nickname, "so how about a punishment instead."
Not giving him any time to respond, Asami smashed him mouth onto Akihito inexperienced one. Once again Asami was hit with a overly powerful scent and a wonderful sweet taste from the boy. He had been with plenty of partners before but none of them compared to Akihito. The boy was in his own playing field. Moving his right leg off the floor, he moved it up in between Akihitos two legs and rubbed it harshly against the growing bulged in the pants causing Akihitos breath to catch in his throat and giving Asami the perfect opening to force his tongue in and begun exploring that delicious mouth.
Akihito, who was not use to the sensation at all, reacted strongly. Soon the quite gasp turned into load moans as Asami continued to play with him. Separating from the boys mouth he pulled up to see his face as he made a rough and sharp tug with his knee. The loud whimper was music to his ears. The flush face matched with the swollen red lips that were parted to allow the boy to breath harshly and the scrunch up eyes made his harden penis leak some precum.
Re positioning himself so that he was sitting on his knees and Akihitos legs were held up by his hands, so they rested on his hips causing Akihitos butt to be floating off the bed. "You are certainly a sight right now my little kitten. Absolutely fuckable." Asami said this while stroking the tights that were resting on his.
Hearing the words brought Akihito back. Shaking his head to clear it some he looked at Asami with eyes full of rage and Asami could see some hurt in boys eyes even though he tried to hide. "What the hell did you say! I'm not some sex slave that you can do whatever you want with." Akihito began to fight with everything he had, trying everything to get away from the king, but Asami just held him down easily which angered Akihito more. "Damnit, just because I'm an omega doesn't mean you can treat me this way! Doesn't mean you can treat all of us this way! My aunt, my neighbor, all of them. They all mattered. They weren't just an omega they were …. they were my friends! They…. they were my family." By the end of the rant Akihito was crying earnestly and couldn't bring himself to be embarrass about his show of weakness.
For a spit second no one moved and then Asami wrapped one arm around the boy's body and the other had its hand tangled in his hair. He didn't say anything, he just allowed the boy to cry and let out all his hurt and anger. He didn't know how the boy came to know the truth, but it was clear that it had hurt him deeply.
They stayed like that till Akihito came silent. Moving to look down at the boy he found that he had fallen asleep from exhaustion. He whipped the remaining tears from the boy's face and placed them so they were laying down together with Akihito's head resting on his shoulder.
At that moment a knock was heard at the door. "Come in." he answered softly as to not wake the boy. Kirishima opened the door and allowed Sudou to roll the cart of food. Asami didn't miss nor liked the look Sudou threw at the sleeping Akihito and made his possessiveness known by tightening his grip on the boy and placing a kiss on his forehead all while glaring at Sudou. Seeming to ignore the clear warning Sudou took a couple steps closer and rested his hand on the shoulder that Akihito was resting on.
"Sir, would you like to bath before you eat. I would be more than happy to help you." Sudou said making it clear what he truly wanted but Asami was not in the mood.
"No, and I believe that I will no longer need your assistance on this trip. Go and attend to my soldier needs instead." Hearing this Kirishima smiled a little before he straightens his face again but the all seeing Asami saw.
"What? But sir, who will see to your needs? I am far more useful here and making sure you are sought after and happy." Sudou face was one of shock, disbelief and anger as he tried in vain to convince Asami to keep him.
"Enough! Leave now and carry on my orders or you will find yourself in the dungeon once we return to the castle." Cold eyes were all Sudou could see as he swiftly turned and made his way out of the room. He couldn't believe that he was sent away, and it was all that damn street rats fault!
Seeing trouble from the servant Asami order eyes to be placed on Sudou to make sure he doesn't step out of line. Having received his order and a goodbye, Kirishima bowed and left the room to give the king and Akihito privacy.
Having everyone out, he moved out the covers and placed the boy down with his head resting on the pillow and swiftly stood up and pulled the covers up to the boy's chin. He stood there for a second just looking at the angel face before he walked over to the cart. Sitting down he began to eat his dinner while still gazing at Akihito.
Seeing Akihito cry like that troubled the king. He didn't fully understand why but he would make sure it never happened again. This boy was meant to spend his time smiling and laughing not crying.
After he was finish he made his way to the bathroom and got cleaned up for bed. Reentering the room, he saw the cart was now gone (most likely from Kirishima) and Akihito now rolled onto him left side so that he was facing inward of the bed. Smirking at the sleeping face that was currently drooling a little he couldn't help but to chuckle at the childish behavior. Laying down next to the boy he pulled him over, so he was resting on his chest. He kissed Akihitos forehead before finally closing his eyes to get some sleep enjoying the feel of Akihito in his arms.
