Chapter 31: Enslavement (part 1)

Settori had enough. He wanted to make Goda pay with pain…but all he could do is plot and plan. His brother and he made a plan to watch Goda and his crew closely… He deducted a few ideas on how to make Goda pay for the pain and torment that Settori had to endure for their relationship. Settori planned to use a proxy to attack Goda…which his proxy came out of school at this very moment.

He watched as the teens walked home. His eyes kept on the Akihiko-look-alike brother…that was the target. Settori knew that Goda was protecting this brat, so he had some connection with Goda. Either romantic or friendly, Settori did not care. Goda was not going to get away with the brush-off that he got at the Noawz Onsen. Settori was going to be slow and patient to find an opening…since he knew a few more problems started to arise.

The Hunassha was growing in Japan once again…it has been years, but…Senmori looked very concerned to be seen in public. That is the only reason why Settori knew so much about this mafia: his older twin was a member. Senmori was a hitman for smaller assignments, never killed opponents, but when Senmori quit…the man was never the same.

Senmori spent months in Settori's apartment in the dark as he tried to forget the mafia… His face was devoid of emotions as he smoked heavily for a long time. Settori did nothing to speak or change him because he knew Senmori. Senmori was a fighter, he always was, but this…Settori was concerned and allowed Senmori to take his time. It wasn't until Settori dated Goda when Senmori started to act a little normal…but then Senmori said, "Get away from that bitch…as fast as you can…"

Settori started to watch Goda closely…nothing seemed female about him. He asked his brother many times about his accusation, but Senmori said, "I can tell…please…save yourself."

Senmori and he started to watch Goda even more closely. They slowly, again, found nothing different about this phone corporate. Senmori admired his brother's changes…

Even Settori enjoyed the changes Goda gave him, he felt that money and cameras were just items…not controlling his entire life. Settori enjoyed Goda's presence…until they had sex. That was a horrid memory…

Settori shook his head and clicked his visor down. He drove forward slowly after the three teens. Akihiko's brother and his two friends walked slowly to the bus stop. One boy was extremely skinny…at the first couple sightings; Settori knew this kid was not this skinny. The boy was either abused or did not eat…his hair was also pure black but now sported thick red streaks. The boy smirked weakly to his friends. The last boy, Settori's proxy, was very concerned about this skinny boy. He mentioned it many times; as the skinny boy said nothing, this boy just turned away saddened more.

Settori used his microphones on the street to listen to the boys through his helmet. He kept away enough to seem like he was driving downtown, but he kept a close eye on the teens.

Akihiko's brother said, "Ryhiro, are you sure that you are not sick? You must have lost over ten pounds or so…your face shows it."

Settori sighed and thought this kid is smart…will my little proxy be able to… No. I need to do this to that…what is his name, Cassiro? Yes, Cassiro. He will be perfect for this. He looks too innocent to be a proxy for a famous heir like myself. His presence has been around Akihiko's brother enough to not show any problems… Cassiro also looks easy to manipulate into becoming my spy for information and ways to destroy Goda…yes, he is too perfect.

Ryhiro said, "Mio, will you leave it be. I am fine…"

Settori knew better…the kid did not even sound like he did in October when Settori started this watch on the three teens. It was December now…time was definitely against Ryhiro.

Mio said, "Quit lying to us. Ever since you broke up with Lynn, you have been…well, depressed. Or is there something you are not telling us?"

Ryhiro moaned, "no…not really."

Cassiro yelled, "LIAR!"

Settori cringed at the volume of the yell, but he turned when he stopped at a red light as the teens went across.

Ryhiro turned to him and said, "What? I have been honest. Nothing is—"

"Ryhiro…is your stepfather hurting you? Please…I beg of you! Do not lie to me or Mio! You are losing weight, changing so much and…I am scared. I am so scared for you! Please! Tell me…what is going on?" Cassiro said as his voice seized up with tears.

Ryhiro sighed and said, "It is none of your concern." He walked away from Mio and Cassiro; they returned to the other side of the sidewalk as they watched Ryhiro disappear into the crowd.

Cassiro groaned, "I am losing him…Mio…what can I do to save him?"

Mio said, "We have to figure this out. What is his stepfather like?"

Cassiro said, "Nice…but Ryhiro had his stepfather for six years…it does not make sense for these sorts of issues to appear now. What do you think is going on?"

Mio said, "I can only guess…abuse."

Settori moved on as he came to Senmori's hiding spot. They waited in an alley a few blocks from Cassiro's home. He kept listening to the teens' conversation as Senmori finished the last touches on the trap.

Cassiro shrieked, "ACK! You do not think…I do not see any marks on Ryhiro…"

Mio said, "Abuse can be mental, emotional, or physical…but…he does act too differently than before. I am worried."

Settori leaned onto his motorcycle handles as he listened to them.

Cassiro moaned and said, "we only have little evidence…we cannot convict them based on that."

Mio moaned, "Agreed. We need verbal confirmation. Until then, we can only guess. I will keep a closer eye on Ryhiro as you should too. I have told my counselor about Ryhiro as she agrees that it could be abuse…but she needs confirmation as well. Also, she cannot force Ryhiro to see her. Ryhiro has to make a choice."

Cassiro sighed and said, "Mio…also I noticed another thing…"

"What?" Mio asked as the teens could be seen at the turn for Cassiro's house. They stood mere meters away from the Hyjin twins. Both twins kept still as they watched, and Settori listened to them.

Cassiro said, "I am no longer in love with Ryhiro…am I sick? For so long…I could not wait to be honest or actually date him…but now…all I want to do is protect him like a brother. What happened?"

Mio giggled and said, "you might have found someone else…please tell me it is not me."

Cassiro shrieked, "ACK! NO!" He stiffened and turned red.

Mio smirked gently and said, "Good, I like being friends with you. You are such a good friend…maybe…I could tell you more about me. I would like to know more about you as well."

Cassiro softened and nodded. He said, "Yeah! You said your brother does not mind us coming over…right?"

Mio giggled and said, "you mean Ryhiro, you, Biula, and Yessuri? I will ask again, but…things have been rough. My brother's lovers have been silently fighting about something…I am guessing sexual tension but…I am not sure."

Settori smirked under his helmet. This could not be any better time…find out why Goda is fighting about, force him into a bigger fight, and then…WHAM! I show him pain bigger than before. I cannot wait…

Cassiro sighed and said, "Everyone seems so lost lately…why? The world is still spinning, the sun rises and falls, and snow is coming…what is wrong, Mio?"

Mio said, "You are so…naive. I am sorry that you cannot see the reasons for all these problems. You need to open up to see that sometimes…the world is not easy to read."

The teens said nothing for a few minutes when Cassiro said, "Can I call you later?"

Mio giggled and said, "yeah, after eight. I need to make supper tonight, later." They waved as Cassiro slowly walked down the alley…into a trap. Mio walked away, not even knowing Settori's plans…

Settori took off his helmet and nodded at Senmori. Senmori nodded and started the fog machine.

Cassiro slowly stalled as Settori revved up the motorcycle. Settori drove forward as he flipped his long locks by taking his helmet off; he said, "Now that I found you; you must stop this façade of running away…" He flashed a brilliantly white smile and waited for Cassiro's reaction.

Cassiro blinked and took out his cell phone. He dialed some number and snarled, "You will be in jail soon, pervert."

Settori stalled as Senmori laughed.

Cassiro shivered at the second voice and said on the phone, "police, I have a—" He shrieked when Senmori came from behind his brother and shot the phone away with a sling shot and rock. The phone flew out of Cassiro's hand, but the phone was not destroyed.

Settori sighed and said, "You have not seen my new movie?"

Cassiro slowly backed to get his phone and said, "I do not even own a television…my family hates them. Also, I do not go to movies with my friends. I prefer music over the mind-numbing multi-color shoe box!" He spun and ran after the phone.

Senmori said, "I told you…this kid is weird. Maybe, we should use the Ryhiro kid."

Settori snarled, "I made a choice. It does not matter…I will use practical force than idol fascination." He got his motorcycle started and put his helmet on as he raced after Cassiro. His arm grabbed the teen as he raced into the traffic.

Cassiro missed his phone and screamed as he was place down the back of Settori's bike. He gripped Settori and screamed again.

Settori groaned and stopped at a red light. He turned and said, "Put the damn helmet on, we have a ride." He took out a helmet from his saddle bag as he gave one to Cassiro. Cassiro gulped and put it on. Settori raced on through Tokyo traffic.

Settori said, "listen, I was using a movie quote from one of my recent movies…but since you do not know movies. How would you know?"

Cassiro shrieked as Settori cringed. The teen said, "how are you…wow, you have microphones in the helmets? You planned this…KIDNAPPING?"

Settori groaned and snarled, "I am not kidnapping you! I am…well, I will give you two choices."

Cassiro stiffened as Settori drove to the apartment complexes. The apartments were littered with people inside and outside.

Settori said, "I need a proxy to watch Mio. But I will give you either money or help your friend, Ryhiro. What do you prefer?"

Cassiro said, "I will not—"

Settori giggled and stopped in front of Ryhiro's family apartment. He said, "Follow me." His feet propped up the motorcycle as he walked to the fire escape and climbed up.

Cassiro took his helmet and yelled, "WAIT! This is…" He ran after Settori as he came to the fifth floor and saw…what Settori knew for a few months now.

Settori turned to Cassiro's pale face, bulging eyes, and tears came down… Cassiro's mouth slowly gasped for breath as Settori said, "This is why your friend has lost weight…porn."

Ryhiro was naked in front two cameras… He posed in sexual motions as the cameras flashed…they could only see Ryhiro as Settori and Cassiro saw this through a small crack in the window.

Cassiro gulped and wiped his eyes. He took off his coat and covered his hand.

Settori blinked and said, "Wait! We need to—"

WHAM! Cassiro slammed his fist into the window as the camera and everyone inside stalled. He climbed in and snarled, "how dare you do this to Ryhiro? You deserve to be in jail for this!"

Ryhiro turned red as he said, "they asked me to do this…I only do it since my face is omitted from the picture…"

Cassiro turned to Ryhiro and yelled, "WHY DID YOU LIE TO ME? I could have helped you! This is…BULLSHIT!" He rushed to Ryhiro's parents as Settori climbed in and held Cassiro back.

Settori said, "Calm down…please. Let me handle this."

Cassiro growled, "You…better…before I kill them for abusing my friend!"

Settori smirked at Cassiro as he said, "cover your friend. We have a long drive after this is done, okay?"

Ryhiro's mother, Yauno, said, "Settori Hyjin, the famous heir in our home. Well, have you seen our site?"

Settori pushed Cassiro back as Cassiro covered Ryhiro. Ryhiro looked blankly at his friend as he whimpered, "I…am…so embarrassed beyond…" Cassiro gave him his coat and said, "Don't worry about it. I will never let this happen again."

Yauno said, "Either if you steal him or not…we have six more clients that use this business for money. If we close, they lose their pay. Pity, isn't it?"

Settori snarled, "You call yourself a mother? Well, the police won't." Like a movie director, Settori had directed the police to come…a knock at the door as the police came in. The police took Ryhiro's parents and handcuffed them as the police nodded at Settori.

Ryhiro was shivering as he said, "Hyjin, sir, but if they are sent to jail…who will look after me? Also the other models…they are desperate for money! They…only did this…"

Settori smiled at Ryhiro and said, "I will handle it. For now, you are in my care." He winked at Ryhiro as he went into the hall to speak to the officer.

The officer said, "The kid should be examined at the hospital, also if there is more…"

Settori said, "Please do you job. I will handle the others since they probably be silent like this kid…look at him. He lost weight, changed his hair color and lied to his friends. Obviously mind control tactics as well as money control. No, the models will only say things that they were either taught or forced to say. I will send them to the proper officials later, but for now, send them to jail for illegal use of photography and abuse of their son."

Yauno snarled, "you think you have won? HA! People look at porn all the time…even if we are gone, our photos will always remain on the internet."

Settori said, "I do not think so. My personal agents have been collecting your photographs, print and on the internet, as they destroy them. These children have suffered enough for your pitiful profit. I will personally make sure that either you do not see the sun ever again or you pay a heavy fine. I refuse to allow this operation to continue."

She snarled darkly, "why do you care? My son is none of your concern unless…you have other motives…"

Settori simply said, "I have no other motives than seeing criminals behind bars. Good day."

Ryhiro's parents were taken away as the officer said, "a court date will be planned soon—"

"No need, I already spoke to the judge. Those two have six people begging for them to be sent to jail, so I sped the process a little."

The office sighed and said, "Well, money does help…"

Settori said, "Money is one slight gift I have, but that did not quicken the steps for these two to be in jail." The officer turned to Settori as Settori finished, "I had evidence. Nearly three months worth of it, so…they cannot deny any of it even if they tried. Of course, I will testify. The models and Ryhiro will be left alone. They are teens and do not understand the issues that their bodies have been subjected to. I will handle it."

The officer nodded and said, "For an heir…you are a nice guy. Thank you."

Settori smiled and said, "I only hope that everyone will be okay. Thank you for coming so quickly."

The officer bowed and walked away. Settori's smile slowly turned into a scowl as he whispered, "idiots believe my acting skills…now I have eight little spies. How perfect is this?"

"Like hell I would trust you now! You BASTARD!" Cassiro yelled and ran to Settori.

Settori blocked Cassiro's punches easily as Cassiro kept trying to hit Settori. He smirked as he said, "children need to obey adults when they paid a few bulks to protect their friends…"

Cassiro snarled, "You only did this out of your personal benefit! You do not care for my friend or me or the six others! I will defeat you yet!"

Ryhiro quickly stood between Settori and Cassiro. He said, "I am grateful for him, so…as a friend. I will ask you to stop."

Cassiro did and said, "you trust him? He wanted to use me for…what do you want us for? It better not be sex."

Settori smiled and said, "No, I will only use you two for this special mission. The others will only be used when necessary."

Ryhiro smirked and said, "Like your new movie…you are a mafia member! How cool is that!"

Cassiro moaned, "Do NOT let this asshole use you!"

Settori said, "Cassiro, you have the choice. You may leave or stay…besides, I need loyalty. You have no use to me if you are too honest."

Cassiro said, "I refuse to leave Ryhiro behind with you…I am in, but not willingly."

Ryhiro hugged Cassiro and said, "I am so sorry for not telling you…but…my parents wanted you to join us. They…thought homosexual pairings would be fun to have photo shoots. But…I told them that I would rather take the brunt of their crap than involve you…"

Cassiro shrieked, "Does that men…ACK!" He shoved Ryhiro away and whimpered, "do you…"

Ryhiro said, "Only an idiot would ask me that…yes, I love you."

Cassiro shrieked and spun around. He kept his eyes away from Ryhiro's member and said, "why did you keep secrets from me? This would have been helpful earlier…why are you laughing?"

Ryhiro said, "I love you like a brother, idiot! Not like…gross!" He covered his member and said, "Did you think…Cassiro. Dear me, I did not…"

Cassiro snarled, "Excuse me for being homosexual!" He spun away and groaned.

Settori rolled his eyes and said, "Gentlemen, I will only tell you this. I could care less about your personal lives, backgrounds, or futures. All I want is this…"

Both teens turned to Settori as Settori finished, "I want information about Mio Izumi Allens. Every single piece of information…even the smallest detail can be useful."

Cassiro snarled, "Never!"

Ryhiro said, "When do I start?"

Cassiro gasped and said, "Ryhiro! Mio is our friend! How could you—"

Settori said, "What do you choose? I am not a patient man, and if you will betray me…your body will never be found. Understand?"

Cassiro gulped and said, "I am not…"

Settori pulled out a black Remington Iroquois Revolver as he said, "I might be an actor and an heir to piles of money. But never forget that I am no fool. Also, I have killed before…and enjoyed it."

Cassiro's face turned pale as he shivered openly. He stared blankly as Ryhiro stood in front of him.

Settori said, "I will not accept betrayal from either of you. So, what is it? Obedience with simple requests or force…either way, I will get what I want. Guarantee it."

Ryhiro turned and said, "Cassiro…I want to do this."

Cassiro whined, "what for? This man is…worse than your parents! He wants to use us for information about our friend! I will never—"

Ryhiro kissed Cassiro's mouth. Cassiro stiffened as they touched each other's mouths for a few seconds. Ryhiro said, "That is my promise…that no matter what, I will protect you and your secret. Okay?"

Cassiro blushed and said, "That is not fair…"

Ryhiro turned and said, "We are in. When do we start?"

Settori and said, "Soon, but for now…act normal. I will see you both soon. Ryhiro, you can come with me or stay with Cassiro. I will handle the legal crap with your parents and the models." He hid his gun again in his air pit holster.

Cassiro gripped Ryhiro's arm and snarled, "You stole enough from us…he stays with me!"

Settori bowed and said, "Of course, until next time. Take care." He turned and went down the elevator. He smiled and said as the elevator went down, "let the games begin again…this time Goda, I will win."
