The voices still echoed on the back of his mind, some days.
Juri's screaming. Haruka's growling. The dark, damp basement filled with torture tools, and that horrid device he had been tied to for what felt like an eternity… It all came through a veil of dizziness as if he was lost in a fog and couldn't quite perceive things around him properly.
And, of course, that lewd voice that he would never forget, grating on his ears. Rido.
"You two are a little late... You know, I had just planned to break him and take him from you, but he did look so very much like you, Juri... how could I possibly resist?"
Kaname tried to block the memories from his mind, touching his forehead to the tiled wall of the shower stall, clenching his fists and letting the hot water run down his body, desperately focusing on anything that might help him not hear the disgusting laughter of the older pureblood echoing in his mind over and over.
Even so many years later, he could never forget that lecherous laughter. Or the look on Haruka and Juri's faces when they untied him and took him home, a mix of pity and disgust that they tried so hard to conceal under a display of concern, but didn't quite manage to hide well enough.
He scrubbed his skin harder with the soap, his nails leaving a web of red welts behind. Tears that he refused to shed welled up, stinging his burning eyes.
Even now, there were still days where no matter how much he washed himself, he could never feel clean.
Kaname may be unable to kill him, but he would die sooner than let that monster ever approach Yuuki.
He would do anything it may take to ensure that she would be protected, no matter what the cost may be for himself.

While I don't think that Rido raped Kaname in the manga, he certainly must have done something terribly traumatic to him in the process of tearing his soul apart or whatever it is that he did to break the boy and replace/mix him with the ancestor and all that.
Knowing that, it's not surprising that Kaname was willing to do anything to ensure that Yuuki would have a shield to protect her from Rido, even if that meant he had to submit himself to have an ex-human (and one who hates him at that) drink his blood, and so on.
I had the idea for this fic from the fact that it's more or less implied in the series that Rido kidnapped him at some point, and we know how much Rido is lecherous-looking, and the thing he has for people who look like Juuri, which happens to be the case for Kaname too...
In fact, considering how Rido is, and that we know he's done something terrible to Kaname at one point or another, it amazes me that there's not heaps of non-con Rido x Kaname fanfiction out there. (Whether with Rido x the ancestor in his original body or Rido x current Kaname.)
It's same for Ichiou x Kaname, it's canon that Ichiou lusts after Kaname to the point of barely being able to control himself, (and also that Kaname was forced to live under Ichiou's roof for years, against his will and forced to do things he didn't want to) and yet there's barely any fanfiction.
I hope more people will write for those pairings. XD; (Especially since Kaname stayed at Ichiou's place until he was grown up and left for Cross Academy, so there could perfectly be yaoi of it without it having to be when Kaname was younger.)
