Chapter 4
His Pyric Victory

"M-Meal in peace….you're a…ghoul…." I said nervously as my body went limp.

I was going to be killed. I was going to be murdered, in an alley way…killed on the day my art piece was destroyed, on the day that I was going over to my best friend house... I would be raped…and then eaten and left in the alley way.

Murdered.

"Bingo. Yeah baby- come on, let me fuck your brains out- literally." He muttered holding my waist grinding his hardened erection against me as the tears soaked the cloth over my face. I couldn't even speak as I was in shock. I couldn't believe what was happening I couldn't…what was…how could….why me?

He began undoing my belt buckle and suddenly it's like reality slammed into me.

"N-No!" I exclaimed putting up a fuss.

"Shut the fuck up!" He yelled bashing my head in the concrete as I felt the blood in mouth and some trickling down my forehead.

"Sto-stop!" I yelled.

"You dirty- Stay still!"

"No-Please- don't hurt me!"

"I said shut up!"

I elbowed him in the chest and I swung around pulling off the cloth wrapped around my face. I heard him hit the ground hissing under his breath. With the strength I had and in the darkness that was around me- I aimed for the head stepping into his face the heel of my boots digging into his bone. I didn't even pick up my bag, I didn't even wait for a second to pass I just began running, through connected alleys as fast as I could moving through the dark with the little light that I got from the moon that shined down onto the dirty concrete ground of the alley. I never stopped, my heart beating up to my chest the feeling of my own blood in my mouth as I felt it running down my lips. From when he pushed me against the wall bashing my body so hard I bit my tongue and the blood was pooling into my mouth all this time, not to mention the second time which caused my forehead to be bleeding.

"B-BITCH!" I heard his voice and my legs shook and froze. I looked around I needed to move I needed to run and run faster but the connected alley ways were like a maze and I felt so lost.

I shook my head and continued running my legs going fast as tears ran down my cheeks like a river I was scared, I was terrified; I couldn't breathe as my body was reacting on its own.

Faster, faster, faster, FATSER!

I saw the alley coming to an end leading to a street, I heard him running coming closer and closer.

Almost like leaping off I cliff I emerged from the darkness. Street lights, car lights and people talking and doors opening greeted me as it was like I entered a better, safer and less frightening world. I leaned forward my feet touching the ground from my leap and crashed into a police officer leaning against a car who seemed to be patrolling.

"M-Maam are you- you're covered in blood! Are you okay what happ-"

"A GHOUL- HELP- P-PLEASE!" I looked at him and suddenly, almost like sinking into water, my legs gave out beneath me…and my vision slowly became dark….and like that…..I felt my body suddenly become numb. It was like I was sinking. Sinking into the depths of deep water reaching out as the sounds echoed around me and my eyes began to close.

My body felt cold…was this it…am I going to die?

So this is my end?

"Where is she?" Itori charged as she moved through the hall pushing away the policemen as Uta walked closely behind her looking around not intrigued by the crowds of policemen surrounding the room.

"Excuse me." Uta said respectfully moving through the policemen Itori had pushed out the way.

The door slammed open hitting against the wall.

"So all you will have to do is just ensure you take this one…and this one." The nurse said to me before coming to a stop jolting at the door suddenly opening.

I looked at the door to see Itori.

"I…I…" My eyes welled up with water as I bit down my lips trying so hard to hold it all in.

She ran to me hugging me so tightly that I felt like I was going to die, the tears ran down my cheeks as I pulled away looking up at her.

"I heard, it was on the news," She said looking at me pulling my hair. "What the…..Where is the hair that was on the left side of your head…"

"I received an injury right there, they had to cut the hair to stitch the wound.

"You mean…." An aura loomed over her, "Your beautiful black silky-"

"It's just hair, it will grow back."

"No it looks, it looks awkward." she said turning to the nurse with a death glare making the poor woman flinch.

"Come on stop you'll make it worse…why did you take so long to visit?" I asked looking at her.

"I couldn't visit the entire hospital is on lockdown. You're one of 3 people who have ever survived a ghoul attack and are in a stable condition."

"So that's why, shouldn't you have burst through the window or something….the oh so fearless and woman with the strength of a thousand men." I mumbled pulling away from her pulling my legs to my chest.

"Kaichi…."

"I'm glad you came…but you took so long." I mumbled as I didn't want to look at her now that I had seen her.

"Kaichi I wanted to come but-" she reached out touching my shoulder.

"Don't touch me….you said you'll always be there for me, you said you'll never let anyone hurt me….look at me, I'm hurt, I almost got killed, I almost got raped…and eaten.". She looked at me her eyes widened. "He…was going to rape me…he wouldn't even say, let him kill me or just eat me, or just- just kill me at least first before he wanted to have sex with me, he pushed me…so hard, I felt like I was going to snap…he…" I began trembling as it went through my mind…it was only 3 days ago but I remembered it so fresh and real like it was only a few minutes ago.

"I…..I'm sorry…." She said looking at me. I turned to her and witnessed her expression. The tears welled up in her eyes. Her fist clenched tight as her hand trembled with anger.

"Oh…Itori chan is going to cry." Uta said as I turned to him, I never even realized that he was here.

"Shut up." she said with her head down as she clenched her fist.

"Kaisa-chan, you shouldn't be so hard on Itori chan. She hasn't slept a wink since she found out you were attacked by a ghoul. She didn't eat or even work, her bar has been shut down since." He said in a monotone voice walking to the bed standing directly in front of me and the nurse flinching at his appearance. He was in a loose sleeveless shirt as his tattoos on his hand and neck revealed as he was in a dark grey baggy pants and a pair of slippers. He had on his sun glasses and a black tam.

"She didn't…." I mumbled looking up at him.

"She was very worried." he said looking at me. I looked back around at Itori but she wasn't there.

"Where did she…go?"

"Kaisa-chan hurt Itori-chin's feelings." he said looking at me. I felt the tears well up in my eyes even more. I never yelled at her like that before. I never refused her like that before either.

"Uta…." He was so close it wasn't hard for me to lean against his chest. "I'm such a bad person." I said breaking down as I began crying. I heard the sound of the nurse walking out the room as she closed the door behind her.

I cried against his chest feeling all the emotions built up inside of me releasing. Since the incident I only cried a little and I was alone in this room most of the time. But since he was here I was so relieved and then with all that took place I felt like a moment like this was deserved. He didn't push me away or tell me not to wet his clothes either. Instead I felt his hand on my head as he stroked it gently and for a moment, I felt like this was all I needed.

~o~

"Sign here…and here….please put your signature on this one too." I signed the paper again as I sat comfortably in bed curling into a ball.

I looked at the bag that Uta had with him and left for me. The nurse left and I switched on the TV that was in the hospital getting myself in a comfortable and well rested position. I didn't feel like I wanted to be hunched up and in pain. I would be leaving tomorrow in the morning so it's best I enjoy my peace to the fullest.

"Oh- You're really not holding back are you." Uta commented as he fixed the mask on his face looking at Itori who had removed her mask.

They were in a dark room and the only light was from a swinging lightbulb in the ceiling that shone light only in a small center of room leaving the corners of the space dark and pitch black. Uta looked at the man hanging from the ceiling by both arms.

Barb wire dug into his skin as it was wrapped around his arms like a rope keeping him a few 2 or 3 feet off the ground. Itori walked up to him glaring up at him her hands soaked in blood.

"P-P-Please…"

"I wouldn't beg if I were you." Uta said watching Itori as she straightened her hand before thrusting it in his abdomen turning it inside his body the gurgling sound of organs and blood filling the room mixed with his screams as she pulverized the inside of his body. She gripped on to his liver ripping it out as she tossed it to the floor blood running out of the hole like a river before slowing down turning into frequent drips. The liver landed next to the others as the man coughed up blood.

The blood caught Itori's face but she didn't even blink. She looked at him death in her eyes mixed with the anger that sent him into fear. She was serious, she was merciless, but moreover she was pissed.

"S-Stop please, like I said, I never k-k-knew!" He coughed up more blood vomiting upon himself. It was a filthy scene.

Blood pooled beneath him as the entire room was stink of iron. Uta sat on the chair at the table directly in front him. He was in his no-face mask and seemed to be quite entertained.

"H-Help me…please." he begged to Uta.

"Help?" Itori said her voice harsh with madness as she held his head pushing her hand in his mouth. "When you were going to rape her, when you molested her and caused her to bleed, did you even think of fucking helping her."

The man's eyes widened as tears streaked down his face. Her hand in his mouth grabbed on to his tongue.

"What did it feel like, what did it feel like to do that to her, wasn't she begging you to stop- didn't you think that at the moment she wanted help." Itori growled. She spoke lowly but loud enough for both Uta and the man himself to hear. She pulled the muscle the sound of ligaments and tissues tearing as the veins stood up in his neck and small red bloodshot surfaced under his skin showing internal bleeding as the final hard and rough tug pulled the tongue out his mouth. She dropped the six inch muscle on the ground. Blood began spilling all over the place as he began gurgling on the blood his eyes rolling behind his head as Itori gripped his hair tilted it downwards for the blood to run out.

"Come on now…I can't have you dying on me." She hissed.

He healed faster this time as his tongue rejuvenated. He spat and began laughing. "Hahahahahahah! You know I was somewhat fucking victorious, I'm sure she's somewhere curled up crying! You bitch, humans get raped and eaten all the time, you know- I should have raped her, ripped her up inside fuck her maybe knock her up. 3 months later I just fuck her again and eat the brat in her. I should have just-"

Half his face splattered on the ground as Itori clenched her fist as she breathed heavily the vein in her forehead standing up as he began healing but this time slower. That was way more of a serious wound.

He went too far with what he just said.

"Uta…finish him."

The corpse that was gaining life moved a little as he was alive, still able to talk a little.

"you vink a this man can kilv me? Alv hees veen doing isv sitting vere" (you think this guy can kill me, all he's been doing is sitting there)

Itori who was walking off turned around looking at him from her side eye. Uta rose from the chair and pulled back his sleeves.

"This man, won't be holding back like I did." Itori said before turning around and walking away closing the door behind her. She felt the tears build up in her eyes.

There was a sudden ear pitching continuous scream from the other side of the room as the man yelled loudly.

Louder than he had been for the past three days.

Her heart softened. Some of her anger quenched.

I walked out the hospital and into the outside world as I felt the sunlight shining down on me. No longer in the hospital, I'm finally free.

I shouldn't be depressed. I shouldn't think back. I have had psychologists in and out of my hospital room coating me with kind words and reassurance. For all I knew I wasn't the first person to have survived being molested and even though the bruises were there and my skin crawled and cringed when the memory passed my mind….slowly I would heal not only physically but mentally- just enough for me to be able to try my best to move on without being too traumatized and broken by the experience.

The first place I wanted to go was Itori. I felt nervous as I clenched my bag walking down the street. It was a day like this that…..I closed my eyes tightly. I shouldn't think of it. I should relax. I walked to the residential apartment that Itori lived. I usually took the stairs but my legs weren't as strong as they should be.

From my head injury I lost a lot of blood and I was anemic. Therefore fatigue and weakness was very frequent and in situations like this, its best I wasn't on my feet for so long. I went to the 23rd floor by elevator and walked to her door. I took the key from the hidden area which was in plain sight.

It was underneath the door number on the door. 1791. I opened the door and went inside inhaling the scent of roses and wine. I went inside the house walking around where there were some empty boxes all over, it felt like she hadn't been home for a few days. I landed in Itori's bed and it felt so soft and comfy…but judging by the place, the scent, the tidiness…I could tell Itori hasn't been home for a while. I pulled off my clothes and put on a big baggy blouse and my underwear. I stared in the mirror at the patch in my hair at the side of my head. It wasn't so bad the hair was already growing back.

Holy shit I was fucking pale. I looked lighter….and thinner. I washed my face smacking my cheeks in hope to get some instant melanin or something-I felt like a freaking ghost, must be the anemia.

I did a loose bun and went to the kitchen pouring some wine into a glass. I sipped it looking around the room the sound of classical music in the background since it was an automatic sensor whenever the house door opened. I picked up the phone dialing her number.

"Oh, I was just….thinking of you…"

"Really?" I asked smiling, "I got discharged, I'm at your house."

"Oh you are. Wait…you left that hospital all alone?" Itori said over the phone her voice was much calmer.

"Listen," I said as I leaned against the counter. "I ahh…I was mean to you at the hospital and what I said…the things I said were unkind, let me make it up to you….Let me make dinner tonight, the way you like it." I said softly as I played with a few loose strands in my hair curling them around my finger.

"Well…Uta might come because-"

"It's okay…I don't mind, I just really want to see you." I said breaking her off. The phone went silent for a while. "Itori?"

"I'll be home soon."

I smiled and hung up as I went to her fridge. It seemed well packed which meant dinner should be something tasty and nice.

I turned on the fire and placed a pot of boiling water on along with a smaller one with two eggs. I went in the fridge, took out some frozen meat some potatoes some vegetables and stuff. Got my seasonings and utensils together.

I loved cooking it's something I enjoyed- not that would pursue it but it was like a hobby. Creating new dishes, perfecting my baking skills- it's part of the few things I would never stop doing till the day I die.

An hour later I heard the apartment door open and the sound of footsteps as it closed shortly after. I was cutting up some carrots at the time but as soon as I heard the sound my grip on the knife tightened.

"Kaichi!" Itori exclaimed bursting from around the corner.

My grip loosened as I turned to hug her smiling.

"Wahhhhhhh- you're cooking up a feast."

"Meh, I felt like I needed to aumm…" My gaze shifted as I picked up Uta's presence. He seemed quite acquainted with the house since he entered and moved to the island in the kitchen sitting around a stool and stared. "Aummm…Itori you reek of rum."

"Oh…I had some accidentally spilled on me, dinner will soon be done?"

"Yup, can you go and, wash it off please…" I said as the rum reminded me of the scent that man carried that night.

"Okay lemme go have a shower."

"Okay aumm, I'll set the table and ahh, wrap up here."

"Don't push yourself so hard, Uta is here, he is your beast of burden."

I laughed as she smirked and pulled off her shirt.

"Wait till you reach the bedroom goddamit!" I yelled at her.

"Ehh, it's not like you and Uta haven't seen me naked~"

I froze.

I watched her strip down on her way to the bathroom before disappearing into the shower leaving the door open.

I turned around moving to the carrots continuing to cut carrots.

Uta…..has seen you naked.

I brushed the thought away, I mean they have been friends for years maybe you know, he saw her naked when she was….5 years old. Fuck the 5 with that type of body she must have been developed from she was 8.

He saw her naked at 8 months.

Seeeeeee that sounds better~

"Kaisa chan do you want help." He asked swinging his chair a little as he rested his hand on the island behind me.

"Eh…I don't anything from you." I growled at him. It was after the words came out and my death glares managed to get him to flinch that I realized what I said.

I turned away looking down at the cutting board. I continued cutting.

"Is Kaisa chan upset that I saw Itori chan naked?"

The knife snipped my finger and I hissed.

"Was I right Kaisa chan?"

I looked at him blushing as a little blood trickled from the wound.

"Kaisa chan do you hurt yourself this often?" He asked suddenly. I turned my head around to see him standing directly behind me.

Holy Mother of Jesus- the life vanished from my body on the spot. He was just at the table and-

I grabbed my spirit from thin air returning it to my body. I swear he has presence issues.

He stretched to the top cupboard getting the first aid kit and rested it before me on the counter. I felt a light blush over my face since he was directly behind me, and his hands were next to mine as he boxed me in against the counter.

He was way taller than me as well so….I was maybe at his chest. I felt him lean over resting his head on my shoulder.

"Let me see the finger."

Isn't he getting awfully comfortable behind me relaxing against my body. Uta you idiot I can feel you against me!

I blushed madly as I raised it up. His head was on my shoulder and I could feel his cheek against mine and ends of his hair tickling my skin.

"Uta, do you like making situations uncomfortable for people?" I questioned as I watched his hand pull the bandage from the box and took a cube tick dipping it in the cream before rubbing it on the wound.

He remained quiet and I guessed he wasn't going to answer that. But I couldn't even imagine him replying. I sighed and enjoyed the scent he carried with him which was quite similar to when we were at the hospital. He has a distinctive scent, very raw yet attractive I couldn't help by fancy it.

"Does it hurt?"

"Not anymore. Aummm…Uta, you don't have to wear glasses around me, as a matter of fact, you do-"

"Done." he said as he raised my hand before me and I saw the finger nicely cleaned and banded up quite well. I turned my face looking at him.

"You're not going to answer are you?" I asked looking at him in those thick shades that I wanted to just knock off his face.

"Kaisa-chan is unfair….you never answered mine." he commented as he put back the first aid kit to its previous place. I turn around facing him as he rested his hands on the surface of the counter boxing me in once more looking down at me. It's not like I didn't like the full attention.

I swallowed giving him a daring stare he brought out this side of me that made me want to dig deeper into him. Even if it meant exposing myself.

"Yes…I am jealous." I said looking up at him as I took off his glasses, I could get used to doing this more often. I basically melted on the inside staring at those eyes.

He remained silent looking down at me for a while as I stared back into his eyes only to jump out of reality to realize that he was staring. Very hard.

I got fidgety, nervous, my cheeks began roasting red.

The position we were in, there was only a few millimeters of space between our bodies.

"Hmm, Kaisa-chan is getting red, do you by chance have a fever?" He teased leaning closer and I felt his body completely pressed against mines. I got even redder as I swore there was steam coming off my face. I couldn't even look at him properly anymore! His eyes….there on me. It's like they were looking deep into me.

"Kaisa-chan?" he called softly leaning closer to me. My hands made the little space between our bodiesas I rested them on his chest which was a crucial mistake.

His firm chest made my mind run miles of imagination as my hands slipped downwards and over his stomach before going to rest on his surface of the counter. Okay…its legit. I just felt him up purposely in the most innocent way.

So he carries a very, lean built, not robust and heavy, but firm and delicate at the same time, every muscle nicely aligned in his chest almost like he stabilizes in what he eats and how often he exercises. It was ridiculous, his body seemed so tall and slim but the built was strong and muscular….and hot….He had an enticing set of defined abs it didn't even make sense. How could he carry all of this….sexiness, under such loose and casual clothing? All of that in my little hand-run-down that had an artist like me itching to sculpt.

"Kaisa chan, you're drooling."

"Hu- what no I'm not!"

"Actually, you are."

Liesssss! I looked away before looking back at him.

"I'm not" I said not feeling any sort of wetness on my lips….I was not drooling. But I was…mentally; probably so much there would be a river right now.

"Is it because of what you just did?"

I froze.

He knows, he knows I felt him up on the spot with that simple move!

"W-what are you talking about?" I said playing the 'I-don't-know-what-you're-talking-about' game.

His expression changed as he smirked leaning closer to my ears, "Kaisa chan, your very cute."

I froze. First time I heard his voice so clearly and close. I even felt his breath against my ears. Uta was making me blush like mad!

It was sexy, masculine, masculine and sexy! And the hot air from his breath blowing against my ears god dammit I could feel them getting so red.

He pulled away looking at me, "Your very fun to tease, I like it." He commented as I flinched.

He was…wait…he was teasing me!?

"Uta…."

He flinched. I looked behind him to see Itori in her pajamas glaring daggers at Uta who moves away so slowly and cautiously I could feel him making an effort to not mess up any further since he knew at this point his life was on the line.

Itori gave him 'the look'.

"She's mine."

"Kya!" I yelped feeling the big boobed woman pull me into a hug that had my lungs clawing for air.

"Isn't that right Kaichi~?"

"B-Breathe- I can't breathe!" I stated pulling away eventually the steaming pot begging for attention as I switched it off. "Dinner is done, everyone around the table." I said breathing heavily like an asthmatic.

Way to ruin the moment Itori….but still- even if he was teasing I was left blushing like an idiot!
