Chapter Eleven: The Devil and Tom Walker
"D-don't look at me, Johan..." Judai whispered.
Johan was still in his shocked state, unable to do anything but stare at Judai. Judai shuddered as the tears started streaming down his cheeks, mixing with the very small amount of blood and dirt that was smeared on his cheeks.
Judai whimpered and covered his body as best he could. He felt so gross and disgusting. He didn't want Johan, his fiance, looking at him after what had happened.
It wasn't his fault, he knew, but he didn't want Johan looking at what he was.
He was aware that he was defiled now, he was aware that he must have looked like Hell. He was aware that he must have looked incredibly pale, savor the small amount of blood and dirt that added color to his face, and he was aware of the fact that his pants were gone and that was blood on his legs, even if it was a small amount.
"DON'T LOOK AT ME-!"
Both Johan and Judai were silent as they rode into the direction of Duel Academy.
They had been riding towards the Academy, which was a short while away, on Sapphire Pegasus for only about a few moments. It was a few hours until sunrise, and not a word had been said since Judai had hollered when they were in the tent.
Johan rode in back of the white duel monster spirit horse, who had been able to become real, for a short time anyway ao that he could bring them safely to the Academy without running in to Giese, and Judai sat in front of him.
Judai's hair was still messy and dirty, and the blood on his several scratches had dried, appearing like small flecks of dirt now. He had put his boxers and pants back on, and he had managed to button his shirt and close his Osiris red school jacket. Giese hadn't destroyed it, as if to make sure that Judai could cover himself with it again as if nothing had ever happened.
Johan glanced down at the silent brunette and thought that he might try a conversation. They had been silent for countless hours, and to be honest, it was starting to get aggravating.
"T-the others are probably worried about us, you know?" he asked with a small smile. "W-we should probably try and catch up to them as soon as we can. They may need us."
Judai still remained silent, and Johan tried to think of something else.
"W-well, maybe they won't need us right off. I mean, Fubuki is with them, right? You know what they say, stupid people can sometimes make the most reliable people. H-he's probably keeping them entertained until we get back," the bluenette said.
He laughed a bit to try and see if Judai would, but Judai was still silent.
Johan sighed and shook his head. Should have spent less time studying for tests and more time learning some better ways to cheer people up, he mentally scolded himself.
"Johan..." Judai whispered after a silent moment.
Johan glanced down and saw Judai staring at the ground. He waited a few moments for Judai to continue. It took the brunette a moment, but he managed to speak again a moment later.
"I'm tired. Let's stop here and rest for a bit," Judai said.
Johan complied without another word and took a little while to stop at a place where there was a small cliff. The cliff guarded a small pond, a small section of the ocean that stretched into the beach area surrounded by tall trees, with a bunch of green plants around it, and it was secluded enough so that any wandering people wouldn't be able to see them.
Johan helped Judai off Sapphire Pegasus, who vanished back inside the deck, and then he looked at the sea-pond.
"Oh, nice, there's that pond!" Johan said with a grin.
He turned towards Judai, who was sitting on the ground a few inches away, and started to remove his Obelisk blue North Academy jacket and his white and purple shirt so it wouldn't get wet.
"Fubuki told me about this place! He goes fishing here all the time," Johan turned to Judai and smiled again. "I'll go in and see if I can catch some fish, all right? I should be fairly easy. Fubuki showed me how to catch them," he said with a wink.
As Johan trotted happily off towards the pond, Judai stared after him, emotionless.
Johan, Judai thought softly.
He watched Johan wander towards the pond and leap in after the fish that swam to the surface. Judai instantly recalled when he had covered himself away from Johan, tears in his eyes, and screamed "Don't look at me" as loud as he was able to. He hadn't wanted Johan looking at him after what had happened. He had felt so ashamed.
You don't ask about it. You don't even mention what happened back there, Judai thought, trembling slightly. But if you did, what would I say? I can't remember what happened after I passed out!
A slight hope washed over him.
M-maybe Giese didn't do anything to me. M-maybe Yubel stopped him. Maybe it was just a trick, Judai thought.
His very tiny and final star of hope was crushed when he recalled how bad the pain was that he had felt when he woke up, the blood on his inner-upper thighs, and how gross he felt.
No. No, it wasn't a lie. He wouldn't have let me go like that. And I passed out. Yubel couldn't use a lot of power, Judai thought.
Judai reached for Johan's discarded shirt and clenched it close to his body, savoring the lingering scent of his fiance. He felt tears welling up in his eyes, and he wasn't sure of what to say. Nothing would come out of his throat. Not even a sob.
G-Giese... H-he treated me like an object! Judai thought, biting his lower lip at the thought of it. There was no love, or even desire in it! I was just a pawn in his sick little game!
Tears started to leak down Judai's cheeks, and he clenched Johan's shirt closer.
No... No-!
"Hah!" Johan yelled. He leaped forward and caught one of the fish in his hand. "Ha, I knew it! I knew this damn fish couldn't get away from the awesome might of Johan Andersen, top duelist in North Academy!"
Johan turned towards Judai, holding the twitching fish in his hand.
"Lookit this, Judai-!" he called.
Johan fell silent in shock again as he saw Judai standing up, removing his clothes as quickly as he could. Judai pulled his shirt open and rushed into the pond as quickly as he could.
"Judai..." Johan whispered. He saw Judai running towards the deeper part of the pond. Johan started going after him. "What are you doing? It's deep and really dangerous over there!"
Judai whirled around, and Johan saw the tears in his eyes.
"I want to be clean again, dammit!" Judai cried. He whimpered and shook his head. "I-I did this once before when I thought that I had lost my ability to see duel spirits, and I became clean and pure then, maybe I can do it again!"
Judai started scrubbing his body as fast as he could, and Johan could only watch silently, pity and concern flashing across his face. He could see Judai's tears starting to fall.
"I can't believe I let that sick fuck have his way with me! Not him... Oh, God, not him-!" Judai yelled. He started scrubbing himself a bit harder until he started bleeding.
Johan's eyes widened. "Judai, stop it!" he yelled. He grabbed Judai's wrist and stopped him. "You're making yourself bleed!"
"Let me go!" Judai cried as he started struggling. Johan gripped Judai's wrist tighter and held him fast. Judai tried to yank himself free from his fiance's captive grip. "Dammit! Let me go, Johan!"
Johan jerked Judai forward and caught him in a tight embrace.
Judai instantly stopped flailing and stood still in Johan's embrace. He was trembling, and whenever he trembled even slightly, Johan would hold him a bit tighter.
After a moment, Johan slipped his arms from around Judai's shoulders, turned and walked towards the edge of the pond. He pushed a tree branch that had fallen into the sea-pool away.
"Let's get out, Judai," he called back. "I'll start a fire and cook some more fish for us as soon as I catch some, okay?"
Judai watched silently as Johan yanked himself out of the pond and went off to gather fire wood. Judai stood in the pond for a few more minutes and then slowly walked out.
