Jack blinked in horrified shock at the red head before him. "You're….you must…you can't be….you're wrong! He wouldn't! He could never hurt…NO! Never!" Jack backed away from the bed slowly until he crumpled into a chair. It couldn't be true…He would never hurt them like this…never…And yet the proof was here before him. Crow with a stab wound to the shoulder and Yusei, so damaged he barely functioned within society. Jack didn't want to believe it but what choice did he have…Kiryu was the only one capable of doing this. He was the only one that could strike fear like that into Yusei yet something still didn't sit right.
"Crow…some of those injuries on Yusei…the hand prints…there was more than one set." Jack no longer cared that the captain of the police department was sitting right there. Crow just stared at the sheets, unwilling to say anything about the other marks even though Jack had an idea about who else was involved in Yusei's torture.

A small grown left the blackette's lips as consciousness invaded his aching skull. The blissfully painless darkness left him slowly as he fluttered opened darkened blue eyes. Everything around him was dark and the throbbing in the back of his skull caused bright spots in his vision but he could tell where he was…he knew the place well enough. "I told you Yusei…you would fall back into His arms again. Willing or unwilling you never really had a choice my sweet Yusei…they will always drag you back." "Shut…up!" Yusei growled. He was so tired of it all…of that voice that put down everything he was trying to work for. Not 24 hours ago, he would have gladly listened to the voice but seeing Crow in that bed…realizing this wasn't his burden alone anymore...he couldn't do it anymore. He couldn't listen to that fucked up voice!
His growl seemed to have alerted his captor though as the door creaked open, two shadows stepping forward into the now illuminated room. "He's awake! Yusei!" Before Yusei knew what was happening he was jumped upon by an overly exuberant sliver haired male. "Kiryu…your…crushing me!" Yusei managed to get out as the older male hugged him, his self-inflicted injuries twinging under the pressure. Seeing this side of his old friend hurt him more than any wound though. But just as sudden as that sweet innocent side was there, it was gone as Kiryu smacked him hard.
"You left me Yusei…you left me and her here even though we were so good to you! We bought you things! We made love to you and we marked you so everyone knew you were ours! But you left! You left us all alone Yusei…but it's okay…you'll make up for it. We will show you we love you best and make it so you can never ever leave us…ever ever…" Yusei cringed at the words as his other tormentor comes within view. He sent a silent prayer that he made it out again…and that this time, this time someone would save him.

Jack slammed his hands down on the side of the bed. "Why don't you speak up about those other marks? The ones so obviously made by a female!" He raised his voice at the red head, angered by it. Crow's meek response only angered him more. "Because I couldn't be sure… No, not that I wasn't sure, I just didn't want to admit that I let him get hurt by someone I let in my house every day." Jack growled at him. "Then tell me Crow! Who did it? Besides Kiryu, who else was involved!" Crow hissed softly as Jack rattled the bed, his arm getting jarred as the captain tried to speak up but got shot down.
"Jack…it was Aki…Aki helped Kiryu control him…or maybe she is the controller. I don't know! All I know is…after I saw the condition Yusei was in and the female hand prints on his arms…I realized the way he would flinch whenever she stepped in the room…and then I remembered the day he said they were dating. The way his eyes seemed so dark…like it was the end of his world as he told us they were dating. And the way he looked at you…the way he looked at you like all hope in his life was gone." The red head covered his eyes and shook with sobs as he thought back to all the signs he had missed.
Jack just stood up shaken as he walked out of the room slowly, the captain turning to Crow demanding a full story as to what they were referring. Jack couldn't even figure out what to do at this point, he just felt sick…so utterly sick about it all… Covering his mouth he dry heaved and leaned on the wall. He had to find Yusei…quickly before any of the evil got to him…

Tears streamed down the blackette's face as the belt snapped into what was left of his back. Everything hurt, they had been whipping his body for hours, well…she had been, anyway. Kiryu preferred to hurt him during, Yusei gulped as he thought about it, sex. All thought was wiped from his mind as the whip lashed out again, his skin in ribbons. "Care to admit that you fell into the pits again, dear Yusei?" Yusei growled aloud. "Never…never give in…" As the words left his lips, a fist crashed into his cheek, blood dripping from the corner of his bruised lips.
"Stop being so defiant! No one is going to save you this time Yusei and we'll never let you escape…we'll never make that mistake again!" Her insanity shone in her eyes and Yusei's mind zapped back to the first time this happened…
Kiryu and he had been dating for a couple months now and everything was beautiful…absolutely amazing. Yusei couldn't wait to be able to tell his friends but Kiryu was still worried about how they would feel about him. Yusei understood though, and he would wait till his lover was ready. One day though…one day Yusei caught his friend and his lover in bed together and Yusei said he was leaving.
Kiryu snapped then…the insanity that Yusei had known loomed within his mind broke free and Aki, who had snapped when she heard Yusei talking to Kiryu on the phone, became the controller. Yusei was never sure how Aki found out how to get to Kiryu but she had and she had destroyed them…become the mastermind behind Kiryu's misplaced love. The second Yusei said he would leave though, Kiryu grabbed him and when the younger next awoke, he found himself in hell…
Every once in a while, Kiryu would come to though and those moments had made it bearable. When Aki found out though…The moments became less and less and Yusei broke more and more. The day Yusei escaped though…it was Kiryu who set him free…
That night, Kiryu came to the basement cell where Yusei was chained in a rather…uncomfortable fashion…Kiryu came to him then and, with sadness and self-hatred in his eyes, he released Yusei who managed to make it out of the house before the insanity returned. Kiryu chased him though and hurt him more…left him with the more recent injuries that Crow had seen. Again though…Kiryu awoke and drug Yusei to his car, drove him to Crow's and got him out of the car.
From there…Yusei had gotten the help he needed but it was the fact that Kiryu had both saved and hurt him that kept Yusei from speaking out. Aki was another matter entirely…Yusei hadn't been ready to talk about her but now…now all he felt was bitter hatred for the woman who had ruined everything!
As these flashbacks ran through his mind, Yusei vowed to survive this…if for nothing else, it was to see her put to an end…and if it was for nothing more…it was to see Jack again and finally tell him the truth about everything. Then maybe, just maybe, he would be able to accept the blonde's feelings. Yusei couldn't help but give a mental laugh at it all. At how he went from so scared he could die to completely fine…maybe he wasn't as sane as he hoped. Another chuckle, this one escaping his lips as the woman beating him stopped.
Yusei couldn't contain it anymore. He laughed…laughed until tears poured down his face, laughed until he felt like nothing could defeat him. Opening defiant cobalt eyes he glared at Aki. "You…" he took a steadying breath as spasms of laughter wracked his body. "I will kill you for all you have done…and he will pay…both of you…I'm so tired of bowing down to my fears…so tired of being afraid of you." His voice rose as he spoke until he was yelling at her. "I will kill you! Kill you! You evil whore! You will never break me again!"
For once in what felt like years, Yusei was strong again. He could handle anything and nothing would ever, ever break him. As Aki backed out of the room, Yusei wondered if his new found strength came from hope…or insanity. Maybe it didn't really matter which anymore.

Jack searched the hospital, dread growing as it took him longer and longer to find Yusei. The boy should have been easy to find, he had only gone out for drinks but Jack knew something was wrong. As he passed by a closet door on his way to the elevators to go down yet another level, he finally got the answers he needed. "I saw the strangest thing Aiko! There was this black haired boy with yellow streaks being carried out by a silver haired guy and a purplish haired girl when I could have sworn he came in this morning with a blonde…"
Jack didn't even hesitate as he slammed the door open to the small storage room. "Miss! Please tell me more about this man and woman!" Jack's tone must have gotten through to the startled woman because she told him everything. About how she had seen Jack and Yusei come in during the afternoon and about an hour ago seen them carrying him out. Jack slammed his fist into the wall and rushed up to Crow's room again, thanking everything the captain was still there.
"Sir! Yusei has been kidnapped by Akiza Izayoi and Kiryu Kyosuke. Please….you have to help me find him…" Jack must have been a sight, dawning horror in his violet gaze and his tone dark but tinged with fear. The captain looked at him gravely. "We'll get right on it son…we won't let your friend get hurt if we can help it." The captain pulled out his phone and in mere minutes, he had the entire police force searching for one Yusei Fudo…but the captain worried. He was praying they weren't too late if the story the red head had given him was even half true.
Jack nodded to the captain and headed to the garage. He would go back for his D-Wheel and search everywhere Kiryu or Aki might have hidden…but first…first Jack had to gather their friends and tell them what had happened to Yusei. He knew Yusei would probably hate him but these were the people that loved him…they would help, Jack was sure of it.
Driving recklessly, he knew the only reason he didn't get pulled over was the fact all cops were mobilized for Yusei. The radio played nothing but the details of the missing boy and he was sure TV was the same. Jack would find him…he had to find him. "Jack!" As he jumped out of the car he was surprised to see Carly waiting for him. "Carly." He said in return as he hurried for the D-Wheel. "I heard on the news! What's going on Jack, why would the kidnap Yusei?" Jack didn't have time to explain. "Hop on Carly, I'll explain everything after I gather everyone…" The black haired girl nodded and followed his orders as he drove dangerously fast towards Luna and Leo's house.
His driving became even more dangerous as he wiped out his cell and dialed their friends one by one, demanding each of them gather at the twins' house. He didn't know if they would be in time and he could only pray silently that they were. Even the sound of Carly mumbling about never ridding with him again didn't bring him out of his dark mood. The one thing he did promise himself was that weather Yusei was alive or not, Kiryu and Aki would die by his hands…

Kiryu lazed on the couch, something in the back of his mind bugging him but not enough to annoy him as he flipped on the TV. He was shocked when his picture along with Yusei's and Aki's appeared with the words kidnapping surrounding it. It was then something in his mind clicked as he saw himself helping Yusei out of his bonds only to hurt him again before releasing him. Holding his head in agony he growled out softly "Crow…you failed…you were supposed to keep him away from us…" He shut up though as the door creaked open, Aki appearing from the basement, shock written on her face.
"He…Yusei, he is insane. He snapped and started laughing then said he would kill me as though I hurt him…" She climbed onto Kiryu's lap, not noticing his disgusted cringe. "But I would never hurt him…I love him…I love him…" She kept mumbling as she curled against him, Kiryu's mind replaying over and over that it wasn't her fault, that he caused her to break. He couldn't let himself drop into insanity again, Aki was too far gone, she could kill Yusei. Those thoughts brought him back to what she had said about Yusei.
If the younger boy had snapped and said those things then maybe there was hope after all…Yusei had never before said a word against them. Maybe Jack and Crow hadn't failed, maybe they had given him the strength to tell them off…Kiryu could only hope as pain pounded in his head. He couldn't handle to truth of the things he had done and that led him to drowning himself inside the insanity. Right now though, he had to fight it, for Yusei's sake he would fight it…and then, when it was all done with, he would take his life and Aki's…it was the only thing he could do for her.
With these promises in his mind, he held the deranged girl close as she fell asleep and watched the TV, broadcasting what they had done to the world who would soon beat down all doors to find the missing duelist.

Wah I actually had fun writing this chapter.
Oh, and for any confusion about the breaks, what Jack is doing is not happening at the same time as what is happening to Yusei, Yusei is about an hour ahead of Jack so everything Jack does is an hour behind what is happening to Yusei.
Please Review! Thank you!
