Chapter 4

Hell.

I believe that I am in hell.

Walking and talking..being the way I craved to be with Ryo..with another man and of all the men in the world,to be like that with Lei Akumu is...HELL.

I doubt if hell could give me more pain to my soul then what I was feeling.

Of course not...I despise myself right now then anyone possibly could.

I walked,smiled and laughed with Akumu...passing by people complimented us as to how good we looked together,I smiled while Lei thanked them while actually on the inside I felt my guts twist and turn into tight knots.

And to think I was doing all this under the influence of a test drug...What was I?A lab rat?

I had wanted to scream these very words at Akumu as he explained why I was doing what I was doing with him without not so much as a restraint or complain...

It was all because of a drug...

A drug that numbs your motor nerves,making you loose the control of your own body...but not only does it do just that,it also is a hypnosis drug..that gives some one the control over your body..and in this case Lei Akumu.

And it does not end there,the hypnosis drug has the capability to put your mind into a state where your feelings and memories can be erased about a certain person or created for a certain someone...

And that's what scares me the most...

As Lei explained this to me over drinks at a bar like this was nothing..as if everyday someone drugged a person to make them fall in love with you and forget the person you truly desired...

'Yeah right..', I thought.

But my bidding to smash his smug face with a 100 ton hammer could not be done...as you know..I was no longer in control of my own body.

But the lack of control over my body did not stop the feeling of disgust and hatred that had started to churn at the bottom of the pit of my stomach...

'I cant forget Ryo!',my heart screamed.

No, he cant do that..I tried arguing with myself..even If I did,Ryo would never forget me..He would not.He cant.

He would save me...I felt a smug expression that should have shown on my face but due to my incapability to do so at the moment, it instead graced my thoughts...

As if he could read my smug-less face,Lei said-"And dont worry about Saeba love,I will make sure he wont come in between us anymore , no..we will make sure of that.",with a glint of evil in his dark merciless eyes.

My heart stopped..

HE WAS GOING TO HURT RYO!

Ryo..My Ryo...were my only thoughts as I prayed with all of my heart for his safety.

Of course it was silly at first,Saeba Ryo was not your average man to be able to kill him so easily..He was the City Hunter for a reason you know..I told my self...but..but...What if?

My whole life seemed to drain put of me in swift blow as the various scenarios of Ryo getting killed rushed through my head...

And miraculously,my body functioned as normal as ever..smiling and laughing with Lei as we walked through the mall ...hand in hand.

The nightmare seemed never ending as the sky outside turned dark as Akumu led me out of the mall towards the black limo..

A head splitting headache suddenly invaded my body out of nowhere...

I twitched and shook with force...the pain the coursed through my body was overwhelming..

I would have given everything...anything...for the pain to end at that moment..

As I felt myself going over the edge with the torture...it stopped ..just like that it was gone...

It was as if the pain had been sucked out of me...I opened my eyes..

It took me a minute for my eyes to adjust to the sudden darkness inside the limo,as it did so I immediately noticed the syringe Lei was injecting into my arm..

The yellow liquid making me nauseous as the street lights outside fell on it..

"Now,now...See this is what happens if you run away from me",Akumu smirked as if my pain had brought him immense joy..I had a feeling it did..

"If you ever did manage to escape from me...leave me..you will feel the pain you felt earlier,the pain of your nervous system collapsing",Akumu explained with a small smile on his face and threw the now empty syringe across the limo...

"Your body is addicted to the drug,without receiving a dosage every six hours,your body will collapse...And that's only for a short time my dear,its only till the drug takes permanent effect and then you wont want to run away any where ,after all you will be in love with me and I will assure you that,my love",Lei said with a smile that made my heart stop in terror..

No..that cant happen!

I wont let it happen!

RYO!

Ryo could hear the roar of a engine stop outside the apartment ,he instantaneously got up from his place of waiting and walked to the window to see if it was Kaori finally coming home.

As he looked through the window,he could easily make out Kaori's form as she exited the black limo...He also noticed the man who was helping her get out of the limo..

A all too familiar feeling of jealously took over his senses as he took in the sight of their intertwined hands..

No...This was what he wanted...right?

For Kaori to be far away from him..from his dangerous life...she deserved her shot at happiness after all that had happened...that was what was happening right?

Then why else would she be with another man..she was coming to her senses after all...She deserved better than him.

A bitter laugh caught in his throat.

He would let her go..even if it meant killing himself to make him stop from begging her not to leave..he woul-...

The almost empty liquor bottle crashed on to the floor with a loud bang,spilling its remaining contents everywhere..

Saeba Ryo just stood there..a look of terror,anger and malice on his face as he got a clear view of the man with Kaori...

And his blood boiled..

What was Kaori doing with him?

He could smell something fishy...and dangerous...and Kaori was right in the middle of it.

He had to save her.

He would save her.

Right after his bullet pierced through the heart of Lei Akumu...

If there was one man the City Hunter would not mind killing even if it went against what he believed in..

It would be this man who had dared to touch his Kaori again.
