An Obsession with Sex

Chapter 16: victim

Ako's body was sore. It ached everywhere and the pain surged so fiercely she had passed out. She opened her eyes only to meet darkness again. It was so black it was as if her eyes were still closed. Her throat was on fire and her heart was beating too fast. She soon realized that her body was being suspended above the ground. She was hanging by her swollen wrists. "Haru…" she tried to speak but her voice made no sound. Ako felt completely helpless and terrified. Her chest started to heave, her breathing labored.

"You look horrible." A familiar voice said from the darkness. Ako winced in pain as a too bright light illuminated the room. It was shining directly in her face and it made tears come to her puffy eyes. She opened them again to see her nightmare.

"Ha-Haseo?" Her voice was only a whisper but it made blood gurgle from her throat and drip from her chapped lips. He tsked at her as he walked closer to her. He placed his index finger under her chin and lifted her head. Their eyes met. His fierce, hers weak.

"Where's you're boy now? He couldn't save you before and he isn't here to save you now." His words cut like broken glass on her skin.

"He'll come for me…you'll see." Her voice was so hoarse her threat seemed like nothing but a small conversation.

"Why would he want you?" Ako's eyes widened as Rin stepped out from the shadows. "Haru will always love me. That's why he's not here."

"he wouldn't listen to you." Ako coughed.

"you don't have to believe me, I don't care either way. But I also know that Haru had loved me longer and wasn't over me when you started whoring for him. You're his backup while he waited for me." Rin's words were poison and it sank into Ako's head. Why would Haru want something like her? She was used, trash, other men's waste.

Rin smirked as she heard her words running through Ako's mind. "You're nothing to him…or anyone for that matter. If he cared he would be here right now." Ako's tears spilled over her swollen eyelids.

"I don't believe you! Haru loves me! Whatever you told him is bullshit!" Ako was able to yell but blood once again bubbled out of her mouth. She started to cough uncontrollably. Rin frowned and walked up to Ako. Faces only an inch apart. "Listen you little whore, Haru is mine and no one else's." Ako was able to gather some spit in her mouth and she blew it out onto Rin's face. The back of Rin's hand slapped Ako's cheek. "I'll just have to show you then." Ako watched as the black haired girl walked down a hall and disappeared.

"Why are you doing this?" she asked while she tried to sob. Haseo watched her as she struggled against the ropes around her wrists. "Please…Haseo-kun, let me go…" her tears stained her dirty face. He said nothing and continued his glare at her.

"You're delicious…I can smell your blood as we speak." he smirked at her shivering body. Haseo's tongue licked his lips, making them glisten. Rin returned with a video and she played it for Ako.

They watched as it showed Haru answering his phone while Ako had been asleep at the hospital. He was speaking to a girl…It was Rin, Ako finally realized the voice. Rin had asked and begged for Haru to come over to her house. He nodded and said something like I'll be right over. She said how she wanted him back and that she made a huge mistake. Haru said some intelligible words and then said he loved her and had missed her. Ako's eyes watered again as she watched him walk out of the room.

The video cut off and Ako started to weep. She didn't care how bad it hurt her throat, she couldn't stop crying. Haru had left her? He had really left her. She knew he wouldn't want some damaged good. He'd used her and dumped her on the side, just like all the others. Her weeping got louder. Her wrists began to bleed from her pulling on the restraints. Blood bubbled from her lips again and her eyes were red with irritation.

She felt like she couldn't breathe or swallow, the lump was thick. Her heart was beating inhumanely fast and her veins in her temples were enlarged. She felt sick, like she would throw up her guts…literally. Rin watched, secretly in horror as Ako seemed to be dying. She smirked but inside her heart pounded with fear.

Haseo brushed Ako's cheek trying to calm her down before she killed herself. Ako kicked up her feet and nailed Haseo in the throat. "Don't fucking touch me!" She screamed. The adrenaline pumping through her every muscle gave her strength. She wriggled and pulled at her binds. Slowly the rope gave way, taking skin with it. She fell to the cold, wet cemented floor. Where the hell was she? Where had they taken her? Rin watched Ako as she tried with all her will to stand up. Haseo was still coughing off to the side.

"You're strong Ako." Rin commented. "Unfortunately, not strong enough." the next thing Ako saw was all black after she felt a painful sting in her neck….

Tohru was sitting in her bedroom staring out the window. Watching the white, puffy clouds slowly cross the bright, blue sky. She turned around when she heard a light knock on her door. "Come in." She said politely. Kyo opened the door and stepped inside. "Hey Tohru." he seemed distant, like he had something to say and it wasn't good news.

"Are you feeling better Kyo-kun? I feel horrible for doing that to you im so sorry I really didn't mean-" he put his hand up and she abruptly stopped talking.

"It's fine. I shouldn't have made you do it." She motioned for him to sit down and he did. He sat in her desk chair across from her. "Tohru-" he sighed and scratched the back of his neck.

"Mhm?" she waited patiently.

"Ako…" the minute her name left his lips Tohru's heart skipped a beat and she began to sweat. "She's gone."

"What do you mean gone?" at first she thought gone meant gone to heaven.

"She was missing this morning. Her bed at the hospital was empty." Kyo couldn't make eye contact. Tohru stood up and grabbed Kyo by the shoulders.

"Ako is missing from the hospital?" she was really asking herself, working it through her mind. "She isn't anywhere in the building?" Kyo just shook his head. "Where's Haru-kun? Maybe she's-" Kyo shook his head again and finally met her anxious gaze.

Tohru immediately ran to the closet, grabbed a light jacket and started to run down the stairs. "where are you going?" Kyo asked a little shocked.

"I'm going to find Haru." Kyo looked at her quizzically before following her. They looked at the hospital first, listening to the nurses crying apologies. Then went to the main house where no one had seen Haru since the last family get together. After that Kyo and Tohru checked Kagura's house and still he was nowhere to be found. It was getting darker by the minute (not that that bothered them cus they can see in the dark) and being around people all day Tohru was starting to get "hungry"

"Where the hell is that motherfucker?" Kyo asked as they stood in front the club. "You really think he's in here?"

"If he's looking for Ako…he might be." Tohru slowly breathed in and out, relaxing herself. She was about to enter dangerous memories she had been forgetting for a long while. What if she saw Haseo? Kyo grabbed her hand, squeezing it lightly. He could tell she was scared.

"It's okay. I'm here." He seemed sincere for once.

"Thank you Kyo-kun." she held his hand tightly in return. They stepped inside to the loud music, the bodies grinding on each others. The strobe's colors flashing all over. Tohru questioned each one of the girls, none of them had seen or heard from Ako. The bartender gave small amount of information but it was good. He said that he had seen the boy with white hair and brown roots earlier today. He said that Haru had had a few drinks then said something about going to the school?

Tohru and Kyo ran as fast as they could to the school. They raced up the stairs to the roof which was locked. Kyo had to ram his shoulder into the door a couple times before it finally broke and they found Haru. His blank stare gazed out into the setting sun. he just sat there at the edge of the school's roof. The fencing had been cut off where he was.

"Haru-kun?" Tohru inched closer to him and he stood up.

"Don't get closer." his voice was soft and monotone, but she could hear the hurt laced with every word. "I'm sorry." He turned so he was facing their uncertain faces.

"Haru don't be stupid, step down from there." Kyo ordered.

"Haru-kun please get down, that's dangerous." Tohru was shaking. Without his wings there was no way he would survive, even being immortal.

"I'm sorry Tohru…I couldn't save her…again." his blank face turned to a remorseful, expression. His hands were fisted and he stepped closer to the edge.

"You can still help her! We can find Ako but we need your help! She needs your help!" Tohru pleaded.

"She's probably scared as shit right now and because you're giving up she might die!" Kyo said harshly. Haru's eyes turned all black and his nails sharpened to claws, cutting his fisted palm. "because you're weak and pathetic, she's missing and she's hurting. If you had done what you had promised to Ako she'd be here with us, safe." Kyo continued.

"Kyo-kun that's a little harsh don't you think? It's not his fault-"

"It is his fault." Kyo interrupted. "Maybe you wanted her to disappear, that way you can be with Rin again. Maybe Rin was going to love you again, take you back, but only if you left Ako."

"Shut up." Haru mumbled.

"You left Ako dying and in pain while you and Rin enjoyed each other!"

"Shut up Kyo." Haru growled dangerously.

"While she lay crying you laughed and loved! Leaving Ako to fade away!" Kyo was yelling now.

"Shut the fuck up! You don't know shit!" Haru leaped for Kyo and the orange haired boy dodged the attack. But was too slow as Haru grabbed Kyo by the neck and slammed his cousin's head into the roof's brick wall. Blood spilled from Kyo's temple as he retaliated.

Tohru watched in horror as they started into their brawl. Punches flew and kicks collided with each other's bodies. "I tried to help her!" Haru yelled.

"You didn't try hard enough!." Kyo bellowed back. Kyo's fist landed above Haru's eye, making a gash. Haru's claws slashed Kyo's back. Back and forth they landed and collided attacks. All the while Tohru stood there motionless. Her eyes changed to the bright emerald and her nails extended to lethal weapons.

She slapped Haru and Kyo in the face and they immediately stopped. Both breathing hard, chests heaving. Tohru walked over to Haru and slapped him again. He just stared at her, his eyes wide with amazement. "How is this helping Ako?" Tohru kind of screamed at him. Tears bubbled over her eyelids. "the only way she can get through whatever she's dealing with right now is for you to be there. For you to keep your promise to her and save her."

Haru changed back to normal, and Tohru placed a friendly kiss on his cheek where she had slapped him. "We have to find her Haru-kun." He nodded. They cleaned themselves off and started on their hunt once again.

It was completely dark now but their predator instincts helped them see and hear. They had split up. Kyo decided to go back to the main house to see if Akito might have planned something. Haru went to Kagura's and Rin's house while Tohru decided to find Haseo and follow him.

Kagura's--

"Rin hasn't been here for like three days. Jeez it's been so long. She said something like she was going out and wouldn't be back for a while. Why is something wrong? Is she okay?" Kagura asked question after question.

"Kagura she's fine I'm sure. I just wanted to talk to her." He knew she had more to tell. Haru's monotone voice and lazy eyes made Kagura sleepy. He had the power to make people sleep.

"Okay okay, I'll tell you where she went. She said she and a friend of hers were going to have a little "party" or something." she yawned, "I hate when you do that."

"Did she say where she was going?"

"Nope," yaawn, "I asked her who was the friend and she told me it was a girl with blue hair and that I might have seen her at Kyo's school before when I went to visit. By the way how is my darling Kyo-kun? He good? I never hear from that stupid man, seriously I wish he would just call I wouldn't have to worry so much then-"

"Thanks Kagura. Later." Haru just walked away during her consistent babbling, what she said went through his mind over and over. 'Rin was going to have a "party"' Haru knew exactly what that meant; he'd have to hurry.

Main house--

Kyo listened to every conversation that went on in the house. Akito had left with Yuki, Shigure, and Hatori for a little "vacation" Kyo heard some random babble from Momiji as he told a story to Kisa who had visit him earlier today. After hours of listening he heard a conversation between two maids, they said that Akito and Rin had a met a while back and it seemed odd because he never wanted to see the Sohma girls. Kyo quickly went back home to tell Haru and Tohru…

Following Haseo--

Tohru quietly stalked Haseo all day. Making sure to stay in the shadows she watched him pick up his dry cleaning, making a deal with one of his clients for a new girl(poor girl), she saw him go to the market, he bought random supplies. Like rope, a hedge trimmer, a few knives, duct tape, bandages and a school girl outfit?

After that he stopped by the club to check purchases, count his money, and slap the girls around a little bit. Unfortunately Tohru also saw the bastard force one of the younger, newer girls to give him a blowjob as her welcoming present and thanking her for doing business with him. It was late and she stayed on his trail. It was almost midnight as she followed him to an abandoned house in the far back of a neighborhood.

Tohru stopped and hid in the bushes as he walked inside and closed the door, locking it behind him. He seemed like he hadn't noticed her at all today so she called Kyo and they exchanged information. But neither one of them could get a hold of Haru. Tohru told Kyo she would be right home and wait to go inside until all three of them could go together…that was until Tohru heard a weak screaming sound come from inside the house. Tohru quickly texted Kyo on his cell before quietly running around the house to break into the back door.

Tohru smashed the window with her elbow which started to bleed. She reached in the broken window and unlocked the door, it opened and she walked inside, making sure to be quiet. She thought it odd that no one had heard her break in. it was too quiet. Kyo replied to her text message and her phone vibrated in her pocket. Tohru flipped up her phone…

Tohru don't do anything stupid! =/

She closed it as she heard another small scream like sound. It came from underneath her. "Ako's down there." Tohru whispered to herself. She couldn't wait for Kyo, there was no time. Tohru silently tip toed to the basement door where she crept down the stairs. Tohru found a hiding place behind an old wooden bookcase. She peeked around it and gasped at Ako's bruised, dirt covered body.

Ako's bright blue hair hung loosely around her limp head, it was matted and had dried blood in it. Her arms were tied to the ceiling with rope that cut into her wrists. Her ankles were cuffed together, so tight it made her skin raw. She was only wearing her mogeta anime panties. (her favorite underwear, Haru got them for her.) Dirt, bruises, and dried blood splotches covering her from head to toe. Her lips were chapped and were splitting. Anger boiled inside Tohru. She had never felt this mad in her life. Who'd do this to someone so innocent as Ako? Tohru ducked down when she heard the shuffling of feet. She carefully peeked around the edge of the bookshelf and saw a man. His back turned to her.

He was lighting a cigarette and humming to himself. Tohru couldn't help but gasp when the man turned around, facing her direction. He had completely transformed. Haseo's eyes were a bright blue color and Tohru could see two fangs peeking out of his lips. His eyes focused on the spot where she had been hiding. Her heart beat faster and faster as he footsteps got closer.

"So nice of you to join us." Tohru flinched and turned to meet the voice that was behind her. Rin stood with a terrible glower on her face…
