This is scenario B. For more info, please read the author's notes at the top of the SCENARIO A chapter.
This is much shorted than A because A just seemed to flow better for me, but I still liked writing this one too!
Warnings: Slight rape, some violence.
Don't own.
Onwards!
INDECENT PROPOSAL - Chapter 7 - SCENARIO B
Seto watched Yami enter the building and looked up, seeing Katsuya standing at the window. He made no special facial expression, keeping it stoic, but Jou's was a picture of anger. The blonde glared at him for an age before turning away, presumably because Yami had reached the front door.
Seto narrowed his eyes. I don't like the way he was looking...could he turn violent again? "Wait here for me," he ordered his driver and got out of the limo. He practically ran up the steps to Yami's floor and quickly found the corresponding apartment door. Then he leaned against it and listened for any unusual sounds.
"Admit it!" he heard Katsuya shout. He could hear mumbled words that were definitely from Yami. As well as heated responses from the blonde, but he couldn't hear much more. It was obvious the other male was angry about him giving Yami a lift.
He backed away slightly when he heard a loud thump against the wall to the right of the door and he could hear them talking much clearer, but still couldn't make out all the words and hardly anything Yami said.
"...wanna...Kaiba? ...whore? ...paid enough..."
Seto growled. He may have paid for the night with Yami, but that did not make him a whore!
"...don't...!" he heard Yami reply. "..."
He felt the wall vibrate a couple more times and he could tell when it was Katsuya speaking and when it was Yami. Yami sounded frightened, and it was obvious Katsuya was angry. Then he heard more thumping, this time he imagined it was the floor, a muffled cry and Katsuya loud and clear. "I knew it! You two are together! That's what he fucking said to me that night!" More thumps and hushed words. He pressed his ear against the door tightly to try and hear what was going on. When he couldn't hear anything else but low voices, he shook his head. He didn't like what little he could hear.
He pulled out his phone and dialled a number. "Roland, get my nearby security team up here," he clipped. "And hurry."
Suddenly, a scream pierced the atmosphere and his heart stopped. It was Yami! Without stopping to think, he backed up to the opposite end of the hallway. He pressed his back against the wall and launched himself. With all his strength, he kicked the door at the lock and it gave way to swing open and he rushed inside. The sight in front of him made his blood boil.
Yami was on his hands and knees, bruised and bleeding face pressed to the floor with the blonde embedded deep inside him. The look on Yami's pained face told him this was anything but consensual. With a snarl, he leapt at the pair and wrenched Katsuya away.
Yami screamed again at the harsh and unexpected withdrawal and collapsed, rolling onto his side. He opened his eyes to find Kaiba grappling with Jou. Jou was shouting profanities and lashing out at Kaiba whilst the brunette was attempting to subdue him.
"You fucker!" Jou shouted as Kaiba deftly dodged an attack. "You're taking him away from me! You just couldn't stand it!"
"And that's an excuse to beat and rape him?!"
"What we do in the privacy of our own home..."
"Oh, would you listen to yourself, Katsuya! You have no idea what's happening, do you? You bruised, possibly scarred, the man that you are supposed to love and you were about to...no, you did rape him!"
"He wanted it! He loved it when you did it to him!"
"I did not beat or rape him."
"You had sex with him when he didn't want it...that is rape."
Seto stopped short. He knew that in high school, if he'd had sex with Yami, it would have been rape, he was young and impatient, but he did not believe what he'd done that night a month ago was rape. He hadn't physically overpowered him and slept with him.
Manipulation.
Shackles.
Domination.
...oh...
"Kaiba!"
Seto snapped out of it just in time to see a fist flying at him. He caught it with uncanny speed and twisted Jou's arm behind his back. He then floored him by firmly kicking the back of the blonde's knees.
"Kaiba-sama!"
Seto turned to see three of his security/bodyguards entering the room, guns pointed at Jou and Yami. "Put those away!" he commanded. "One of you come here and subdue this lout."
Yami had watched in horror as Kaiba and Jou had shouted, screamed at each other. It was like a horrible nightmare. He'd managed to pull himself up from the floor and felt something trickle down his leg. He was sure it was blood as Jou couldn't have come so quickly from just a few short thrusts, but ignoring it, so as to make himself less vulnerable, he'd pulled his jeans up.
Watching the two of them, he didn't know what to do. Jou was his boyfriend and lover, saviour, but he'd sold him to Kaiba for one night, beat him twice and attempted to rape him, almost succeeding this time. And Kaiba was the one who had attempted to rape him in school and manipulated their lives to get to this point. He felt it was watching two lions fighting over a piece of meat...and he was the meat.
Out of pure instinct, he'd warned Kaiba of Jou's attack, covering his mouth the instant he had. He turned to run out of the apartment with the intention of finding a police officer to come and stop them both, but had been stopped by the appearance of three large men dressed in suits with guns. Now, one of them was holding Jou down while the blonde struggled in his grip. He took out some handcuffs and cuffed his hands behind his back.
"What the hell?" Jou spat. "Kaiba, you scum of the earth, tell them to let me go!"
"I don't think so. And don't call me scum when you're the one who beat up and raped your boyfriend."
Jou looked over to where Yami was standing, one of the guards watching him very closely. The boy looked very worried. "So, what's the next move, Moneybags? Ya gonna call the police?"
"If it were up to me," Seto began, "you would be locked away for the rest of your life. But it's not. I'll only act as a witness in your trial, should it get to that." He turned to Yami. "It's up to you what you do."
Yami gulped. He'd already made the decision in his head that he would call the police once he was safe from Jou. Maybe he should stick to that plan. "I...think...the police..."
"No, Babe!" Jou shouted. "I'm sorry I did what I did, but c'mon! I was angry. I love you so much that it really hurt that you were with Kaiba."
"But I'm not with him!" Yami shouted from across the room. "I tried to tell you that earlier, but you wouldn't listen. You were so blinded by rage that you were deaf to my words." Tears were forming in his eyes. "I won't call the police for this, but I think I need to get away from you at the moment."
"And where are you gonna go?" Jou asked, not nastily, but genuinely curious.
"I don't know...I guess...I don't know."
"He'll stay with me," Seto said.
"What?!" Jou shouted.
"No," Yami said. "I'll get my own place."
"And in the mean time?" Seto asked. "You know it can take a month for find a place, get references and all that, maybe more."
Yami contemplated his options. Kaiba was right about the time frame, and he had no where to go, which was the dilemma he and Jou had been facing when they were still in debt, so it was either stay here with Jou and hope he wouldn't try anything, or...
He looked over at Kaiba. Could he appeal to Kaiba's seemingly good will and apparent care for him and use it to his advantage. He'd be putting himself at more risk by going with him since he'd been the one to manipulate their lives to get to this point, but maybe, just maybe, after what had happened here today, Kaiba would be more willing to just leave him alone, even sharing a huge mansion with him.
On the other hand, Kaiba was the reason Jou was so angry. If he went to stay with Kaiba, there would be no chance left for them. "Jou, I love you, but you went too far today. As I said, I won't call the police, and, while I look for another apartment, I'll stay with Kaiba."
Jou growled. "That's not a good idea..."
"Because otherwise you'll seek him out during class and beat him again?" Seto snapped.
"Oh, that's real mature, you freak!"
"Shut the hell up!"
Both Jou and Seto were shocked by the outburst. Yami was frowning. "The decision is final!" He pointed at Jou. "You will calm down and see this for what it really is, and that is me getting away from your violence and not a way to get into Kaiba's bed. And you," he continued pointing at Kaiba, "will acknowledge that I still love Jou and will not even for a second think that this means you can use me again like that night. I will pay you rent until I find a place to live." He blew a piece of stray blonde hair from his eyes. "Are we all clear on that?" Jou nodded dumbfounded, while Kaiba crossed his arms and shrugged non committally.
Yami wiped his forehead with a shaky hand, suddenly feeling quite ill. His outburst sapped his strength and he wobbled around the guard and into the bedroom. All he wanted to do was go to sleep and briefly thought maybe he had a concussion, but he knew in order to relieve the tension in the other room, he was going to have to leave quickly.
The door opened and he gasped turning round with fright. It was one of Kaiba's guards. "Kaiba-sama told me to help you pack."
Yami nodded gratefully and pointed out his things while the man stuffed his suitcase. Soon, he was ready to go. They exited the bedroom and he found that Jou's hands had been freed. The blonde was glaring at Kaiba, and the other was meeting his expression dead on. When the guard nodded to the brunette, he turned and headed for the door.
As Yami passed Jou, the blonde reached out to him and he stopped. The guards were suddenly on alert, but Yami held a hand up to stop them. He allowed Jou to lightly hold onto his arm and looked at him. To his relief, he saw sadness and what he suspected was regret in those hazel eyes. "I'm sorry," he whispered.
Jou smiled weakly. "No, I'm the one who should be sorry," he replied just as quietly. "But does it really have to be like this? You stayin' with Kaiba...ya know he is up to no good."
"Jou, you hurt me because you thought he and I were an item behind your back. Despite the fact I would never do that to you, you knew how I felt about the whole situation." Yami leaned in closer to whisper in his ear. "You were angry and wanted to...to...rape me the first time, when you saw the video footage. You then actually went through with it earlier, despite the interruption of course, when you saw him kiss me. I can't control him, you know that. So what would happen if I stayed here and he continued to...harass me?"
"I wouldn't do anything," Jou said desperately.
Yami leaned away from him. "I never thought you'd be capable of hurting me, physically or mentally, but you did, and I can't take another chance that you won't do anything."
"I'm sorry."
"I know."
Yami leaned up and gave him a small peck on the cheek. He still loved him, but he needed to get away from the violence, and Jou needed to get some help. With any luck, it would help them both.
Yikes, that really was a very short one. Sorry. But I hoped you liked it. At least Kaiba managed to same him, even if he was a tad too late.
Please R&R!!
