"Mmm!" Reita was tied up with duck tape and his mouth covered as well. He looked up and saw his friends tied up and bloody in front of him.
"Oh Akira. See what happens when other people get involved." The man walked behind them. "Too bad. Looks like you're going to be the only one left." The man grabbed Ruki's hair, pulled his head back, and sliced his throat with a knife.
"Ah!" Reita popped up in bed breathing hard. He looked over and saw Ruki gone. He jumped out of bed, slipped on some boxers and opened the door to the hallway. When he walked out, he saw Kai and Miyavi making out on the couch.
"Where's Ruki?" Reita asked tiredly. They broke from their kiss and looked at him.
"Reita what's wrong." The brunette asked, standing up.
"Nothing why?"
"You're crying."
The blonde put his hand to his face then wiped the tears away. "It's nothing. Where's Ruki?"
"On the balcony smoking with Aoi, Uruha and Holland."
Reita looked out and saw his lover giggling as he shook his head. He was ok. "Tell him I'm in the shower when he comes in."
"Alright." Kai said sitting back down. He watched his friend walk down the hall closed the door behind him to the bathroom. Reita got into the shower and cleaned himself up. He was in a daze as he scrubbed himself. He kept picturing his friend's bodies mangled and beaten up. He took a deep breath and shook his head. He turned off the water as someone knocked at the door.
"Hang on." Reita called getting out and wrapped a towel around himself as he opened the door to see Ruki.
"Are you ok?" He asked coming in and then closed the door behind him.
"I'm fine." Reita turned, but was pushed against the wall and into a rough kiss. He gasped as he kissed back, but then his lover gently pulled away.
"No you're not. Kai said you were crying." Ruki said pushing hair out of Reita's eyes.
"You were killed in my dream and so were the others. And then you weren't there when I woke up. I got scared."
"It's ok. It won't happen." Ruki said hugging his lover tighter. Reita hissed in pain as he gripped his ribs and moved back. The singer let go and handed Reita his clothes. He helped the bassist change and then they went into the living room. Kai saw them and got off the couch so they could sit down.
"What time is it?" Reita asked.
"Five-thirty" Holland answered.
"That late." He asked and as if on cue, his stomach growled.
"Hungry?" Reto asked.
"I guess so." Reita giggled rubbing his stomach.
"What do you want to eat?" Ruki asked.
"Do you want to go out?" Holland asked.
"No." Reita laid his head on the brunette's shoulder. He sighed and closed his eyes. "I just want to sleep some more.
"He didn't sleep well." Ruki said squeezing his lover's hand.
"Let's order somewhere that can deliver." Kai said grabbing a phone book.
"Reita. Wake up."Ruki nudged him awake.
"Mmm, yeah?
"Food's here. We got Chinese."
"Ok." The blonde said getting up, but he grabbed his ribs in pain and stumbled onto Ruki "Sorry."
"It's ok. Here I'll help you." He said lifting the bassist up and walked him to the table.
"Here," Holland handed Reita a pill bottle. "I went to your doctor and told him what happened. He prescribed more for you."
"Thanks." Ruki brought him his food and they all sat down to eat. As they started digging in though, they heard knocking on the door.
"I'll get it." Reto said and opened the door.
"These came to my office." Sakai whispered, holding up a vase of roses.
"Stay here for a minute. Holland." He pointed at the door. The officer got up walked to the door.
"It's the roses, isn't it?" Reita asked looking down at his food. Holland opened the door and the manager brought them in.
"Would you read the letter for me."
Holland opened the envelope and started reading.
"Dear my beautiful Akira,
I miss your body so much, I want it so bad. I want to see your expression when you come again. Don't worry I have a way to get you. I'll be seeing you soon."
P.s. I won't be able to see you tonight but soon I promise. I love you.
—Your Lover.
Ruki slammed his fist onto the table, making everyone jump in the quiet room.
"I need to call Melody." Miyavi got up and left the room. Ruki bit his lip so hard, he made it bleed.
"Ruki calm down." Reita's voice shook. The brunette looked at him and took a deep breath.
"He won't get you. I'll make sure of it." Holland said taking the vase from the manager and handed them to Reto. "Take them to the lab then come straight back."
"Wait what about the tires." Reita asked.
"We got them fixed today." Holland said as he closed the door behind Reto. "Finish eating."
"Reita do you want to leave here." Their manager asked.
"No." Reita said automatically.
"But it's not safe here."
"It's safer than a hotel or hospital."
"He's right." Ruki said.
"Fine. I'm going to head back up to the office then." The manager said before leaving.
Miyavi walked back in and sat down."I told her that I had to stay longer because you guys needed help with something. I didn't tell her about your stalker."
"Ruki." Reita stood up. "Come with me." The brunette stood up and followed him into their room. The blonde grabbed his face and started kissing him intensely. "Fuck me hard. Harder than before." Reita begged.
Ruki put his hand on Reita's face. "No."
"Please!" He cried.
"I'm not going to hurt you so that you can forget about being raped."
"Please Ruki." He begged getting on his knees and started unbuckling the singer's pants.
"I said no!" Ruki yelled as he pushed his lover down onto the floor. The brunette gasped. "Reita I'm sorry. I didn't mean to push you that hard." He went to grab Reita, but was slapped away.
"Leave me alone." There was long silence.
"You don't love me." Ruki said glaring down at him. "You were just saying that so I would fuck you. What, did you like it when he raped you, is that way you're using me? To feel that again. To feel lost in sex and pleasure."
Reita's eyes got wide and tears started flowing down his face. "Why? Why would you say something like that? I…I would never use you like that!" Reita jumped to his feet and pushed him to the side. He ran out the door and out of the suite.
"Reita!" Ruki ran after him out the front door and the others ran after them. Reita ran out the building, into the woods and didn't stop even when he heard the others calling him.
"Reita! Please stop!" The singer yelled, running until he tripped over a tree root.
Uruha helped him up. "What's going on?"
"I said something horrible."
Reita fell with exhaustion. He looked forward and saw the lake. He slowed to a stop and fell to his knees to take a drink. He stared at his reflection in the water.
"Reita!" He heard Ruki. He stood up and started jogging with what energy he had left, but fell at a nearby tree. His vision was getting blurry and it was getting hard for him to breath. He just laid and started writing in the dirt.
"Reita!" Ruki was yelling at the top of his lungs.
"Reita!" They all stated calling for him at this point. They reached the lake and started looking around. Ruki put his hands on his head looking around, but then he saw something. He gasped and started running to the tree with the others behind him. "Reita." He said softly as he kneeled by his lover's body. The other's were soon running up to him.
"Ruki what did he write." Miyavi asked pointing by Reita's hand.
"Sorry." Ruki said and started to cry."Help me get him on my back."
Reto and Uruha put him onto Ruki and they headed back to the suite.
When they got there Ruki laid him on the bed.
"Aren't you gonna ask why he ran off." Ruki asked Holland.
"No I heard everything from outside. We all heard." The officer said pointing at the wall.
"Ruki did you forget what Doc said back at the hospital when Reita was hallucinating?" Kai asked."He said sometimes people's minds aren't stable after something traumatic happens to them."
"I said something horrible and I can't take it back." Ruki said rubbing Reita's head.
"That may be so, but you can still apologize." Reto said with a smile pointing at the blonde waking up.
"Reita." Ruki smiled. "I'm so sorry."
Reita started crying and popped up to hug him. "I love you, I do! Please don't be mad! Please, I do love you I swear!"
"I'm not mad." Ruki whispered and kissed him.
"Well I am!" Holland yelled stopping them. "What the hell were you thinking running off like that? That man could have saw and went after you. What if he got there before we did, huh? You're too damn reckless!"
"I-I'm sorry I wasn't thinking."
"Damn right you weren't. Never do that again!" Holland yelled then left the room.
"I'm sorry. I'm sor-" Reita choked on his tears.
"Everyone get out." Kai ordered. "Now." They left the room leaving only the three of them. "Reita. Ruki. Sleep. Don't fuck tonight you'll make yourselves sick." He turned the light off and closed the door. They did as was told and laid down to sleep.
"Uruha. Aoi. Sleep in your own rooms. Miyavi I'm sleeping on the couch tonight." Kai was making sure nobody had sex that night. He grabbed a pillow, blanket and laid down on the couch. Aoi and Uruha slept in their own rooms and Miyavi slept in Kai's.
Everyone slept in the next morning. Miyavi finally awoke and went out to find Kai still asleep. He went into the kitchen and started making breakfast. The brunette smelled something burning and jumped off the couch, but found the soloist running around the kitchen.
"Need some help?" Kai asked.
"Please." Miyavi turned with a sad face. The drummer moved him over and started over on the food. Aoi walked out of his room and into the living room.
"Morning." He said yawning.
"Morning." Kai said.
"What burned?"
"I'm leaving the kitchen." Miyavi said and sat on the couch.
"He burnt the eggs." Kai said smiling.
"Oh." The raven said trying not to laugh. Then they heard a door open.
"Uruha are feeling ok?" Kai asked. Aoi turned and saw him red faced leaning on the wall.
"Yeah. My face broke my fall when tripped a minute ago." The guitarist said rubbing his cheek.
"Looks like I'm not the only one having a bad morning." Miyavi giggled.
"Where's Holland and Reto?" Uruha asked looking around.
"That's a good question." Aoi said then knocked on their door. When they didn't answer, he peeked in and saw them sleeping peacefully so he quietly closed the door.
"Shh. They're sleeping." Aoi whispered.
"Mmm." Reita woke up with his head against Ruki's chest. He raised up not waking him. He changed, took his medicine, and went out the door quietly. He saw Aoi, Uruha and Miyavi watching tv, Kai in the kitchen cooking, but he walked past them to the balcony door.
"Reita you're up." Aoi smiled.
"Yeah." He whispered as he opened the door. He stepped out and closed it as lit himself a cigarette. Aoi got up and walked out behind him.
"Rei, are you ok?" He asked.
"I'm an idiot." The blonde said sitting on an orange chair.
"No you're not. Why would say that?" Aoi asked sitting next to him.
"You were right. I only used Ruki."
"No you didn't. You love him."
"Then why does it feel like I used him?"
"You guys argued. It happens. Don't be so upset, Ruki already forgave you, and you forgave him."
"I still feel like shit for what I did." Reita said wiping his eyes.
"So does Ruki. And you will feel like that for a while so don't dwell on it now." Aoi said smiling.
Reita smiled and stood up. He walked to the railing looking out at the lake then looked down."I'm hungry."
"Then let's eat and by the look of it, breakfast is done." Aoi said pointing in at them eating at the table. Reita opened the door and saw Ruki coming out of the hallway. The raven walked past him and headed to the table with the others.
"Ruki."
"Yeah?" The singer asked avoiding his eyes.
"Would you come out with me?" Reita asked opening the door again. The brunette turned and walked out onto the balcony, the bassist followed and closed the door.
"I'm sorry."
"Why?" Ruki asked.
"For last night. I'm sorry. Everything went so fast and you made me forget what happened. I didn't mean use you." Reita whispered trying not to cry.
"I should be the saying sorry, not you. I said those things. You have never used me and I know it. Even if you don't love me."
"Ruki." The blonde turned him and kissed him, pushing against the railing. "I do love you. Please don't tell me that you think I don't."
Ruki grabbed his lover's head and kissed back roughly. The brunette slid his other hand into Reita's pants and started fingering him. Reita moaned and put his head back as Ruki started sucking his neck. He felt the singer's hard on against his. He slid his hand down the front of the brunette's pants and started jacking him off. Ruki bit down his neck more, breaking the skin.
"Ruki. Sit down." Reita ordered pulling his hand out. His lover did as was told and sat on the orange chair. The blonde unbuckled Ruki's pants and pulled out his erection. He licked it slowly at first, teasing the vocalist. He looked up to see Ruki squeezing the chair handles, and so he gave the tip a kiss then started sucking on it.
"Reita. Please stop teasing me." Ruki begged. The bassist smiled and devoured him sucking up and down even more slowly. Reita deep throated him until he felt Ruki's course hair. The brunette grabbed the bassist's head and started thrusting.
"Reita! I'm sorry." Ruki pushed him down on his back and started thrusting on his face. The blonde wrapped his arms around Ruki's waist, taking him all the way in. Ruki moaned out and came in his lover's throat, making him choke.
"I'm so sorry." Ruki said as he pulled out.
"It's ok. It was good."
Ruki wiped the semen off the bassist's face and kissed him.
"Ruki, I'm hard."
"I'll fix you." The vocalist slid down, pulled Reita's pants down and started sucking him. He stopped to nibble on Reita's tip and then stuck two fingers in him. Reita whimpered as he concentrated on Ruki's mouth. The brunette started licking circles on his lover's dick then went down and sucked on his balls. He came back up and started sucking down on him again. The blonde spread his legs and rose his hips. The singer stuck in another finger in and started rubbing his prostate. Reita gasped as he thrusted his hips, coming. Ruki waited until he was done before he held the semen in his mouth, pulled his fingers out, slid up to Reita's face and smiled. He opened Reita's mouth and kissed him, pouring the semen into his mouth. The bassist swallowed it as he sat up kissing Ruki.
"You're so beautiful." Ruki said breaking from the kiss. Reita smiled, but it was quickly interrupted when the sound of gunshots went off.
"What the hell was that?" Ruki yelled grabbing his bloody arm.
"Ruki!" Reita put his hand on the singer's arm. Holland ran out his room and saw Miyavi and Uruha on top of their lovers. He looked outside and saw the two laying on the ground not moving.
"Reita! Ruki!" Holland yelled running to the door, but more gunshots were fired. He dropped to the floor as bullets went through the glass. Reita got on top of Ruki and looked over the balcony. He yelped when his cheek was grazed by a bullet.
"Stay down!" Holland yelled. "Reto! How many shots did you have when he stole your gun."
"All nine."
"Shit. Three more." Holland whispered to himself. He crawled to the door, opened it and waved for them to come in.
"We have to crawl in." The blonde told Ruki. "Come on."
"You first." The singer ordered, pushing him a little. Reita started crawling when Holland grabbed and pulled him in. Ruki turned over and started crawling as well. He didn't get far however when more gunshots sounded and he curled up as bullets hit above him.
"Ruki!" Reita reached out for him.
"Don't!" Holland yelled as he grabbed Reita, keeping him inside. There was one more gunshot that hit the side of the building and then it was silent. The officer grabbed Ruki's shirt to pull him in and closed the door.
"That's all the shots. Let me see your arm." He pulled up Ruki's sleeve and turned it. "It's fine just a scratch. Reto bring the first aid kit. Is everyone all right?"
"We're fine." Kai said sitting up. Reto brought it in and handed it to Holland.
"Your cheek." Ruki said putting his hand on Reita's face.
"I'm fine. It just a graze."
Holland bandaged up Ruki's arm and patched up Reita's face. The vocalist looked at his lover and saw him shaking.
"Reita." Ruki said grabbing his hand. "It's ok. Everything is going to be fine."
"I…I thought I was going to lose you." Reita started crying. "When those bullets went over you. I wanted to run out and protect you, but I couldn't."
Ruki grabbed and hugged him. The others watched and looked down trying not to cry at the fact that their friends were almost killed.
"Can't he get more bullets?" Aoi asked.
"No. Only police can buy bullets for theses guns." Holland saw them get less tense. "Reto stay up here. Don't open the door for anyone."
"Where are you going?"
"Down to find where he was shooting." He said walking to the door.
"Not by yourself." Reto said running in front of him.
"Whose going to protect them if you're gone too? Don't worry I can take care of myself." Holland said with a smile then left. They hung around waiting not doing anything, just sitting. Ruki held his lover, and rocked him, trying to calm him down. Miyavi was sitting against a wall, holding the drummer in his arms as his legs shook. Aoi and the honey blonde were sitting on the couch, leaning on each other.
Holland finally returned about an hour later, to them it felt like forever.
"It's about time. What did you find?" Reto asked.
"Your gun and casings." The officer held up a bag with a gun inside. "Reto, I need you to run this down to the lab."
"Right."
"Sakai called." Ruki mumbled. "He said we have to go to another photo shoot."
"Already, didn't you guys already have one?" Holland asked.
"Yeah but since we can't really do anything, its throwing him into a bind so we're doing the photo shoot we were supposed to do two weeks from now."
"Ok." Holland said. They got their clothes changed and waited for their manager.
When he did show up, Holland called Reto and told him to meet them there. They got there did their hair and outfits and started the pictures.
"Reita." The manager yelled from the other side of the room. "Come here."
Reita walked over there and Ruki saw them going out the door together. He was about to follow, but the Kobayashi stopped him so he can do his pictures. The brunette was finally finished and looked around the room.
"Hey Aoi where's Reita?" Ruki asked.
"I heard Sakai ask him to help bring something from his car in." The raven said.
"Why would he ask him?"
"Why do you say that?" Holland walked up to them.
"Sakai has avoided asking him for help since he got hurt."Ruki looked over at the door and started walking. "I'm gonna see what they're doing." Ruki headed down stairs and Holland followed. They saw the manager with a box going into a closet. "Sakai." The singer caught his attention. "Where's Reita?"
"I sent him up about ten minutes ago." The manager was quick to respond.
"Holland he couldn't have." Ruki said looking up at the officer and saw him staring at the manager. They all looked at each other and rushed back up the stairs. When they got up to the top they quickly looked around before catching everyone's attention. Nobody was going to leave the floor without permission.
"Reto, Uruha, Kai go make sure nobody leaves the studio. Tell them I said so. Miyavi, Sakai, go look outside around the building. Ruki and Aoi you're with me, we're going to check all the rooms." Holland said walking back down the steps. They did as was told and started searching.
