LOVE ME, TAINT ME

CHAPTER 3

Ritsu's eyes fluttered open, a throbbing ache slowly forming in his head. His body shivered against the cold floor, and as his mind started to absorb his surroundings he felt a wave of panic. Where was he? How'd he get here? Ritsu tried to scramble to his feet, but was surprised when something held him back and pulled at his arms and neck, causing him to wince in pain. Ritsu grabbed for his neck, but stopped when he recognized the sound of clanking metal. Chains! He was shackled to the wall! He felt his stomach drop, his heart hammered in his chest, and suddenly the world started to spin. He felt as his body started to tremble and shake. He was scared. The darkness seemed to engulf him, he felt suffocated. He felt like crying and screaming for help, but what was the use there was no one to help him. For heaven's sake he couldn't even see two feet in front him, let alone find a way out.

Ritsu's thoughts were instantly halted as the sound of heavy boots echoed in the distance.

He held his breath, as the boots stopped just outside the room. He instinctively pressed his body against the wall hoping to just to disappear. Praying that the nightmare he was living was just that, simply a nightmare. The door creaked and light filled the room.

Takano was glad to see that the angel had woken up; it had been hours since he had taken him. "You're awake"

"You!" Fury sprang from Ritsu's very core when the realization of what had occurred finally hit him. "Were you expecting someone else?"

"Where am I? Just who do you think you are taking me prisoner like this!" his eyes had started to water but, whether it was out of frustration or fear he didn't know.

"Prisoner?" Takano almost laughed. He crossed the distance between them and then gently took ahold of Ritsu's chin . "Didn't I tell you? I want to get to know you"

Ritsu yanked away from his hold and glared murderously. He couldn't believe what he was hearing, was this some kind of sick joke?

"You wanted to get to know me!?"Oh and I guess chaining me to wall was supposed to be the ICEBREAKER!" his voice quickly turning into a growl.

"Hmm I never did introduce myself did I?" Takano answered completely ignoring the angel's outburst.

"I am the North king of the demon world Takano Masamune"

"Y-you BASTARD DON'T IGNORE ME"

"As for the reason for your current situation, I had business to take care of so I thought this would be the safest place to keep you, seeing as you can't run off I say I made the right decision"

" You got to be joking, is there something wrong with you!?" I don't care that you're the king let me go! NOW!"

Takano's face still masked with his everlasting poker face stared at the younger, and felt his lips curve slightly, he was feisty one. "If I let you go you can't run."

"Huh?" "You've got some nerve orde-"

"If you run I'll kill you" Ritsu saw no hesitation in his eyes and felt himself shiver, his body shying from the danger just inches from him.

" So. Are you going to behave" Ritsu simply nodded, not trusting his voice to answer.

"Good"

Takano kept his eyes on Ritsu as he took out the key.

"Before I let you go, I want your name"

Ritsu looked up at Takano his eyes still filled with fear. The demon, for obvious reasons was not to be trusted, heaven knows what he would do to him. Frankly, again for obvious reasons he didn't feel comfortable giving his name to someone who had chained him up just to get to know him. Ritsu knew there were demons that could control beings just by finding their names, or more likely kill them.

Angels weren't liars, they were bound by truth however during certain situations it was allowed.

"My name is Oda Ritsu" Ritsu figured this was one of those times.

This took a lot longer than expected. I don't think I'm cut out for this ,but I hope I can improve.
