Hey, guys! I'm finally back with another chapter! Sorry for the long wait. A lot of shit had been happening and whatnot, but I woke up this morning and was like "I need to write this." So I did. c: Enjoy!

"Look, Yu," Dojima sighed, pacing back and forth in my uncomfortably small room. I stared at him with little emotion shown on my face. "You have to help me out here. Who did that to you?" I simply shrugged my shoulders. I couldn't honestly tell him that his own partner had taken advantage of me. Not only was it embarrassing, but it could only make things worse. What it could do, I was unsure, but all I knew was that it was best to stay silent. At least until I gained the courage to confront one of my friends about it.

At my shrug, Dojima went over to the couch I was sitting on, kneeling in front of me with his hands resting on my shoulders. "Yu, I could get this...person locked up, you know that? Something like this is illegal and they could get thrown in prison for a long time. I can't do anything, though, if you refuse to tell me what you know."

"I had my back turned from the door. Someone snuck up and tied me up, blindfolding me. How could I tell who it was if I couldn't see?" I stated, giving Dojima my usual blank stare. "It was a man, if that makes anything better, but really, I'd like to forget that it ever happened. It's embarrassing enough as it is. Now, could you leave my room? I'm exhausted and I would like to go to sleep and pretend this was all a horrible nightmare."

With that, Dojima stood up. "Fine, if you want to drop it and forget about it, good for you. I can't and I won't. What if Nanako walked in while that was happening? What would you have done? I'm investigating." With that, he left the room, slamming the door. I let out the breath I had been holding in and leaned back on the couch, staring up at the ceiling.

"I should watch the midnight channel tonight."


"Hey, Yu! I haven't heard from you in a while, man." The familiar voice of Yosuke rang throughout the entire store of Junes. I glanced over at him and gave a slight wave as he ran his way over to me. "So, when are we gonna go inside the TV and fight more shadows? I need some training."

"Soon." I replied as I looked over the bananas in my hand, debating on making Nanako and myself smoothies that night since Dojima was going to be out 'investigating' the situation. He was going around asking any passerby where they were on that day that 'it' had happened. So far, he had no luck. Even Adachi was pretending to help him out, glad that I haven't told anyone. I haven't seen Adachi since that night, though, which was fine by me. I didn't want to see him ever again.

Almost by magic, I jumped at the voice of someone calling out to us. "Hey, boys. What are you up to?" Adachi called out, holding a cabbage firmly in his hand. I sighed and set the bananas down, feeling my smoothie mood quickly drain from me.

"We should be asking you the same thing." I bit back, noticing Yosuke had raised an eyebrow at my behavior.

"Me? Oh, I'm just getting some cabbages. You know how I love these things." He laughed lightly, nudging off my remark as nothing. I rolled my eyes and quickly turned, making my way towards the elevator.

"Ah! Wait, Yu!" Yosuke yelled. I could hear his footsteps as he rushed after me. "What was that about?" He gripped my shoulder as if to stop me from moving but I shrugged it off.

"I just remembered I had to go home and do something. It's nothing." I gave him a tiny grin before getting inside the elevator. Once the door closed, I leaned against the back wall. My legs were shaking and I could feel anger boiling up inside of me.

"What am I doing? I'm not like this." I growled at myself resting my face in my hands. When the door opened, I stepped out, only to see Adachi standing right by the elevator, as if waiting for me.

"What do you want?" I said calmly, trying to relax myself so I didn't cause a scene.

"That was quite a reaction for someone like you." He commented. Adachi was still in character of who he pretended to be, but I could tell he was furious. "Why not come with me for a ride? We can go get something to eat and talk a bit. It seems like you have a lot on your mind."

"I...should actually be getting back to Nanako. I hate to know that she's at the house by herself."

"She'll be just fine. Come with me." The look he gave me let me know that I should just listen. Biting my lip, I nodded my head and followed him out of Junes and toward his car. Getting in the passenger seat, I leaned back against it, gripping the sides tightly, for fear of what was going to happen. If need be, I'd fight him. I wasn't ready to give up just yet. The driver side opened and he got in, before driving off. The ride was silent for the most part and after a while I couldn't even tell where he was taking me.

"We're not going to your house, are we?" I stated after realizing we were leaving Inaba. I gripped the door handle, ready to open it and leap out if I have to.

"No, we're not and if you even think about jumping out of the car, I'll break those pretty little hands of yours." He snapped, glancing at me. I slowly let go of the door handle and leaned back against the seat again.

"Then where are you taking me? If Dojima catches that both of us are missing, he'll grow suspicious. He's already looking into what happened to me and you know that."

"I'm coming back, Yu. You're not." After about five minutes, we pulled into a driveway of a house that seemed to be rundown and in the middle of nowhere. He got out of the car and came around to open my door, before gripping my arm and dragging me out. I struggled against him as he tugged me into the house. It smelt of mold and rust, the furniture looking used and rotted out. With my free hand, I plugged my nose at the scent.

"Get used to it. You're going to be here for a while." Adachi mused as he brought me into a room at the way back. There was a bed that looked almost as if it was about to break and literally nothing else was in the room besides a single tiny window that let a little bit of light in.

"Why me, Adachi?" I asked as I was shoved towards the bed. I turned to look at him, balling my fists. "Why do you have to do this to me? I told you I wouldn't tell and I haven't."

"Without you, your group won't know what to do. You're the leader, right? Without their leader, they're screwed. With you missing, first they'll think you got thrown into a TV. They'll go in and search for you and once they find nothing, they'll give up and think that you've died. I personally think it sounds like a very good idea."

"You're sick." I snapped, sitting down on the bed. "And what are you going to do? Rape me again? Are you just leaving me here to die while you go back to your life in Inaba?"

"I'll be here to visit you, don't worry. You'll be locked in this room until I come back. When I do, you're allowed out, and I'll bring you food and then you entertain me. Doesn't that sound fun?" He laughed at that and all I could do was shudder. Through the small light in the window, I could tell that he was walking toward me and it made me back up until I was sitting on the bed. Feeling him hover over me, my fist reached out, punching him right in the stomach. There was a grunting noise as his shadow knelt over, holding himself. I quickly got up and ran towards the door of the room, only to feel a hand grip my arm and throw me back, my body hitting the wall.

"You can't escape that easily, Yu. It's obvious you forgot the power I hold over you." Adachi seemed to be enjoying all of that a bit too much. He walked to where I sat against the wall and knelt in front of me. I felt his hand run along the side of my face before lips pressed hard against mine. I could feel his teeth bite down on my bottom lip before the taste of blood was present. Adachi pulled back before smacking me hard across the face. I could feel the sting on my cheek and my hand shot up to rub the now swollen jaw.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Adachi said, before walking out, shutting the door behind him. I quickly got up and made my way to the door. As soon as I tugged on the knob, it was obvious that the door was locked from the outside. I was trapped.

"Shit." I muttered, running my hands through my pockets, looking for my cell phone. Upon realizing that it was gone, I growled, punching the door as hard as I could, only to yelp in pain as my hand throbbed from the contact. Defeated, I made my way to the bed and laid down on it, the scratchy material making me itch. There had to be a way to escape.


Well, there you have it! Things are definitely going with this now. Please review and tell me what you think and what I could do to make things better. Some ideas might help as well. If you have a good idea, I might even use it. c: Bye bye for now!
