Chapter 2

Tagiru did not have the courage to tell his friends what happened to him and spent all the time crying in his bedroom. There were many nights he woke from nightmares from being raped that day.

"Tagiru?" His mother called. "Your friends are here to see you."

Tagiru still felt sore all over but slowly walked into the lounge. He tried not to tremble seeing Hideaki checking him out.

"Tagiru, are you okay?" Taiki asked. "Your mum said you've been sick. Was it the party?"

Tagiru tried to smile at Taiki.

"I'm ok," Tagiru said softly. "Sorry for not playing much basketball with you and Yuu lately."

"I'm gonna go out for some shopping," Tagiru's mum said. "Make yourselves at home."

"We've been worried about you," Hideaki said stepping forward. Instinctively Tagiru flinched and stepped back, bumping into Yuu.

Yuu looked puzzled as Tagiru bump into him. "Is something wrong?" asked Yuu sounding concern.

Tagiru turned and looked away. Some fear seeped through his eyes as he struggles to keep calm. He looked at Hideaki as he saw him smiling. "I don't want to talk about it." said Tagiru.

"Maybe your still not feeling well." said Hideaki.

Tagiru slightly cringed on what Hideaki said. Right now, all Tagiru wants to do was crawl in a hole and just wish that night didn't happen. He then felt a hand on his shoulder and flinched. He turned and saw it was Yuu with worry eyes looking at him.

"Is something bothering you?" asked Yuu

"No, why you ask?" asked Tagiru trying to sound like his old self again.

"Because it looks like your crying." said Yuu sounding worried.

Tagiru's eyes widen as he slowly touch his cheek. He felt it wet from some tears. Without thinking, Tagiru shoved Yuu way from him and rush to his room. Yuu feel on his rear and looked shocked. Taiki looked at his fallen friend and rush to Tagiru's room. Yuu got up and looked at the stairs lead to Tagiru's room.

'Tagiru, what happened?' thought Yuu looking more worried than before.

Tagiru looked up as Taiki and Yuu followed him.

"Tagiru, please tell us, we're worried for you," Yuu said, concerned as he looked at his friend. This wasn't like him at all. Tagiru was always so cheerful, so full of fire and seeing him like this scared him.

"You'll...you'll hate me," Tagiru said crying. "Please just leave me alone."

"Yuu, why don't you head downstairs and reassure the others that Tagiru will be okay?" Taiki asked softly. He had a feeling someone had hurt Tagiru and that someone was nearby. He glanced at Yuu, their eyes meeting.

Once Yuu was out of the room, Taiki closed it and sat down on Tagiru's bed. He pats an area next to him to indicate Tagiru to sit next to him. Tagiru was hesitant at first then he sat down. The two sat there with only silence in the air. Moments have passed and it was getting harder for Tagiru to hold back. Taiki looked at the young goggle head as he smiled with reassurance. Looking at Taiki finally broke Tagiru as he grabs Taiki shirt and cried on his shoulder. Taiki then rapped his arm around Tagiru.

"Shshshsh, it's ok. You can take your time. You don't have to say anything right now if you don't want to." said Taiki as he sound kind and understanding.

"Why?" began Tagiru as he sniffed. "Why did this happen to me?" It was becoming harder for Tagiru to form words and he let out his sorrow and pain. "Did I...do something...wrong?"

Taiki gently stroked Tagiru's hair, caressing his shoulder like an older brother would.

"Shhh..." he soothed. "I'm here."

"Then why did you send him after me?" Tagiru sobbed. "Why didn't you and Yuu come to find me that night when I felt sick?" He was finding it hard to hide things from Taiki-san, his mentor, his older brother and friend.

"Tagiru...did he do something to you?" Taiki asked, feeling a surge of protectiveness envelop him. If Hideaki had hurt Tagiru, he would murder him no questions or answers required. However, his anger might have showed as Tagiru flinched away from him.

"Never mind..." Tagiru mumbled, his mind flashing back to that night and he shivered in both disgust and fear. "It...it must be my fault."

Taiki's eyes widen from shock when Tagiru shift to blaming himself. "Tagiru, if he did something you didn't want to do, then it wasn't your fault." said Taiki as he tries to reassure Tagiru.

Tagiru trembled and grip Taiki's shirt a little more. "Just forget it." said Tagiru sounding like he was giving up.

Taiki let out a sigh. "No Tagiru, I can't just forget it. No matter what, I always try to help people when their in trouble." said Taiki.

"Save that speech for someone that actually matters." said Tagiru as he lets go of Taiki's shirt and looks at the ground.

Taiki looked down and let out a sigh. "Maybe it's my fault." said Taiki sounding down. "Maybe if I have been there I might have helped you. Here I am say I'll help people and I didn't help you when you needed it." Tagiru looked at Taiki with shock. He had never seen Taiki looking so defeat. He was about to say something But Taiki beat him to it. "I'm sorry."

"No Taiki-san!" Tagiru cried, looking shocked. "It's not your fault! It isn't! Hideaki raping me is my fault and mine only!"

Taiki felt horror fill inside him and his heart clutched into his mouth causing him to almost choke. That feeling turned into cold anger.

"I'll kill him," he said furiously.

"Taiki-san..." Tagiru squirmed, his anger scaring him. "It's ok...it's my fault. I couldn't stop him and my body kept responding so it must be my fault right? Please don't get upset. I'm...I'm not worth it."

Taiki looked at Tagiru and noticed that the younger brunet was scared. He calmed himself and thought about what he was going to say. "You said you try to stop him but couldn't. Then he does something you didn't want to do but he still does it." said Taiki as if he was count for every action that Hideaki did. Tagiru looked away feeling ashamed and nods. "Then he hurts you in a way I can't imagine." He places a hand on Tagiru's shoulder and gave a gentle squeeze. Tagiru flinched at the touch but relax a little. "These are the type of things that aren't your fault."

"Then why did his touch made my body feel like it was jello. I moaned and I...cam." Tagiru close his eyes tight as more tears came out of his eyes as he remembers everything that Hideaki did.

"Again, your body was reacting. You didn't want to do it but he took advantage of you and how your body was reacting." explained Taiki. "So please don't think it's your fault for your body's reaction." He then gave Tagiru a small hug. "And don't ever think that your not wroth it because we're friends and friends are always worth it."

Tagiru leaned into the embrace, letting the waterworks loose.

"Oh Taiki-san, I can't forget," he sobbed. "I have nightmares and flashbacks every time I sleep or even see anything like a toilet or cubicle, I have flashbacks."

Taiki comforted Tagiru gently, whispering soothing words and soon his junior fell asleep as he was emotionally exhausted. He then laid Tagiru down and stormed down the stairs, doing something impulsive and punching Hideaki in the face.

"Taiki-san!" Yuu cried, making to grab him. "What's wrong with you?"

Taiki was seething.

"I can't tell you," Taiki muttered. "Not all the details but Hideaki hurt Tagiru...badly. He's fallen asleep."

Hideaki smirked.

"So is the slut acting like he didn't enjoy cuming for me?" Hideaki said softly.

Yuu's eyes widen from shock. He so shocked that he let go of Taiki. Everyone in the whole room were all speechless. Taiki's fist tighten as he was about to make a move but was stopped when two people moved in front of him. The two blocking Taiki glared at Hideaki.

"I suggest you leave." warned Kiriha as he was one of the two.

"Yeah. I think this room won't look good if your blood was all over the floor." coldly said Ryouma.

Hideaki looked at two and the looked at Taiki. He turned around and heads to the door. He opened it but before he left he said something. "Tell Tagiru if he wants another round then tell him I'll be waiting."

With that comment Taiki was trying to rush after him but Kiriha and Ryouma managed to hold him back.

"Calm down Taiki, you'll make things worst than they are." warned Kiriha as he struggles to keep Taiki from running after Hideaki.

Taiki didn't care how reckless he was being, he wanted to kill. He made to break free when Nene touched his shoulder.

"Taiki-kun, Tagiru-kun needs our support right now," Nene said gently. "How is he?"

Taiki's expression became crestfallen.

"I failed him," Taiki said miserably. "Yuu and I promised ourselves we'd always protect him but we're the ones who let Hideaki go after him that night into the cubicle. Tagiru said he soundproofed the door and since he was feeling sick, Hideaki r-raped him brutally then dropped him home. We failed him, Yuu we failed."

Yuu hung his head. Some friend he turned out to be. He shuddered, unable to imagine what Tagiru was feeling.

"I need to be with him," Yuu said softly.

"He's sleeping," Taiki said softly. "He cried himself to sleep. I think he's emotionally exhausted. Yuu...he thought we'd hate him, that he was dirty." He felt on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Hearing what Taiki said only made Yuu want to with Tagiru even more but before he had the chance he was stopped by a hand on his shoulder. He turned and saw it was Nene. "I think it's best you let him rest." said Nene. Yuu looks down and just nods.

Akari walked up to Taiki and said "It's no one's fault but Hideaki. We all did expect that he would do something so cruel."

"Akari is right, you can blame yourself or let Tagiru blame himself on something that no one saw come." said Zenjirou as he came up and gave Taiki a pat on the shoulder.

"All we can do is be there for Tagiru and protect him." said Nene.

"While you all are doing that, I have other things to do." said Kiriha as he head to the door sounding as if a little bored.

"Yeah, I think you all can handle this without us." said Ryouma sounding calm as he follows. "Ren, Airu, we're going!" With that Ren and Airu followed Ryouma. Once the four were outside and walking away from Tagiru's home Kiriha begins to talk.

"I take it you have the same thought as I did" said Kiriha as he smile.

"As in finding Hideaki and beat him to a bloody pulp then yes, I was think the same think." said Ryouma.

"Good to know." said Kiriha.

"So why are you doing it?" asked Airu as she let her curiosity got the better of her as she looked at Kiriha.

"I rather not visit Taiki in jail because he did something stupid." answered Kiriha and he place both of his hand behind his head. "What about you all?"

"We're just going where Ryouma goes." answers Ren.

"Eh like he said." Airu said.

"We'll for me. It's obvious, Tagiru saved me now it's my turn to return the favor." answered Ryouma.

"Um, wouldn't that mean you would had to stay there with the others and help him out?" asked Airu sounding a little confused.

"I found this way would better. Besides it might help him emotional or mentally or something." said Ryouma as he shrugs.

Kiriha let out a chuckle and said "Can't argue with that logic."

"I can set traps for him," Airu offered Ryouma and the other smiled.

"Airu, maybe you should go back," Ryouma said softly. "I'm not doubting your strength but I don't want you getting hurt. He might target you since you're a girl. The last thing I want is one of my dear friends or at least another one to be r-rape."

Airu huffed.

"I'll be fine Ryouma," Airu said frowning. "Besides, did you see how sad Yuu-sama was? I need to make him smile again by matchmaking him with Tagiru and to do that, Hideaki needs to be hurt."

Ren raised an eyebrow.

"I can't believe your supportive of Yuu and Tagiru doing the hanky panky," Ren said tactlessly.

Kiriha facepalmed.

"Gods, Ryouma why do you keep them around?" he wondered.

Meanwhile back at Tagiru's house, Taiki and his friends are still waiting to make sure Tagiru need anything when he wakes up. So far both Taiki and Yuu's mood haven't change one bit and that worries both Akari and Nene. So far the whole room was deathly quiet and it was starting to make Zenjirou worried.

"Ok, so what are going to do when he wake up?" asked Zenjirou figuring it'll get someone to talk.

"Well we could ask once when he comes out." answered Akari.

"What are we going to do with Hideaki?" asked Taiki.

"We'll figure it out when the time comes." suggested Nene.

Yuu looked at the stair wondering if Tagiru is really alright. "I'm going to check on him." said Yuu as he got up and heads to Tagiru's room.

"Don't make any noise." said Nene.

Yuu got to the front of the door that leads to Tagiru's room. He places a hand on the knob and hesitates. He thought about what he should say or do and so far his mind came up with nothing. He took a deep breath and figure he'll just have to wing it. He finally opened the door and saw Tagiru peacefully sleeping on the bed. He closed the door carefully and grabs the chair that was at the desk. He carefully placed the chair right next to the bed. He sat down and looked at Tagiru.

"I hope you'll be ok, Tagiru." whispered Yuu as he sounded depressed. "I really wanted to tell you something but I was scared to tell you before. No matter what happened to you, I'll still love you." Yuu was close to tear when he said that.

Tagiru shifted in his sleep and opened his eyes, looking at Yuu blearily.

"Will you lay with me?" Tagiru asked and Yuu blinked.

"What?" Yuu asked alarmed.

"You said you love me," Tagiru mumbled. "Will you still lay with me? I feel cold and shivery. I know I'm dirty but..."

Yuu immediately cuddled up to Tagiru, wrapping his arms around him.

"I'm so sorry," he whispered.

"Yuu," Tagiru murmured. "Why didn't you come after me that night? Why did you send him?"

Yuu looked away and was close on being lost for words. "I didn't know he was going to do that to you." said Yuu as he sound depressed.

"Why couldn't you come?" asked Tagiru feeling like he was only getting half an answer.

"I was getting nervous. When ever I was near you when we are alone, I get nervous. So I didn't know what to do." said Yuu feeling ashamed.

Tagiru started to tremble as he begins to cry. "You could have come in anyway. I didn't feel well so do you think I would have cared?" asked Tagiru.

Yuu's eyes became blurred with tears as he continues looking away from Tagiru. "I'm sorry." said Yuu as his voice cracked.

Tagiru broke down on Yuu's shoulder again and Yuu wrapped his arms around him.

"I was so scared, Yuu," Tagiru sobbed. "I begged him to stop, to not do that to me. He was so proud of himself too. Will you protect me this time?"

Yuu had to hold back tears.

"I won't let him near you again," Yuu said softly. "I'm so sorry, Tagiru. I...we shouldn't have let him be the one to follow you."

Tagiru tried to compose himself but the more he tried, the more he ended up crying.

"Gods, I'm a mess," he said trying to wipe away the tears. "I feel so broken. Why...why do you still love me? He's claimed me now."

"Do you love him?" asked Yuu sounding little serious.

Tagiru looked at him with a puzzled look on his face. "What's with the question?"

"Do you love him?" asked Yuu again.

"No. Even before and after what he did I don't." said Tagiru.

"He didn't take your heart. That's what is important. He may have rape you but he didn't change that you didn't love him. So it doesn't matter that if he forced you to have sex because I love you no matter what." said Yuu as he got closer to Tagiru.

Tagiru looks away as more tears filled his eyes. "You should go for a broken dirty guy like me. You sound got for someone else." said Tagiru sounding like he was going to cry more.

"You're not dirty or broke. You hurt and felt betrayed." said Yuu as he placed his thumb right on Tagiru's chine. He moved his head up to face him. "You're still you and that's why I love you." Yuu then place his lips on Tagiru's.

Tagiru was surprised at the sudden kiss. It felt nice and warm and he found himself returning it. He allowed his tongue to roam around in Yuu's mouth and it felt amazing.

Yuu was surprised when Tagiru deepened the kiss and ran his hands through the other's hair, adding more passion to the kiss before pulling away and just cuddling up to each other.

"Love you," he whispered.

"I love you too," Tagiru replied.
