CHAPTER 109

As Sei searched the bedroom he eventually came across the boy laying under Syu's bed. Deciding not to lay on the floor he fell back onto the bed before moving himself so his head was on the pillow.

"Ryo-Chan. What's wrong? You wouldn't normally get angry at Mitsu?"

"Go away." Sei closed his eyes in thought. "I want Shan back and I want to go back to America away from all of you." The blunette felt pretty heart broken at hearing that.

"Do you hate us that much?" Looking over to the door when he heard footsteps approach he looked to see Mitsu leaning against the frame.

"Yeah, I want all of you just to get out of my life." Ryoma curled up. 'All I ever do is separate people from others. I'm nothing, but filthy vermin that needs to be destroyed. I not only kill people physically, but mentally as well.'

(Flashback/ Ryoma POV)

There's no escape. Master had let me out of my blood stained room. Both of my hands where still chained together. He said something about not being able to risk me hurting anyone else. The man who was meant to be the guard that was watching me, had been knocked out. It was rather simple to be honest. The chains I wear are heavy and a quick whack over the head did the trick.

This was how I found myself running down a hall. I could hear the shouts of others. One was of my master. He seemed really angry. Especially when I heard him scream 'Beauty get here now.' The noise bounce off all the wall and into my ears. I started to defy master more and more recently. He never seemed please when I did. I should learn to behave better. I might get punished less.

I had turned another corner and once again found another dead end. I always find it funny that I've been here for so long yet I don't even know my way around. I heard the foot steps approaching. Turning I saw my master standing there with a metal leash and collar. "Beauty." He pointed to the floor in front of him. "Here." Normally if he did this I would sit on the floor in the spot he said so, but today I didn't want to. Instead I stood my ground. I gave him a glare instead. The other adults that had gathered round where watching and waiting for me to make a move so they could take action. One took slow steps towards me when my master told them to put the collar on me.

I didn't even need time to think when I slammed the chains on one of his shoulders. I heard a cracking sound. The next second he was on the floor in pain. Clutching his arm. It was hanging loosely. Like there was no bone there anymore and only flesh was keeping it attached. The next thing I saw was master walking to the man and checking his arm out. Saying something about the others will fix it for him. They all left. Me and my master now stood there, staring at each other.

"Beauty... You're hurting others. The man that was meant to be watching you is now dead." I could feel my insides freeze. Dead... But I only knocked him out, I thought. I could feel my eyes watering. I have done it again. I felt cold metal being placed around my neck. I looked to see Master with the end of the leash in his hand. "Come on Beauty. You need to be punished."

I am Beauty. I am 13 years old today. I was meant to celebrate my birthday with master later. I don't think that will be happening anytime soon. I am a monster. I killed someone again. I didn't mean to. I'm sorry.

(End Flashback / Normal POV)

As he came out of his memory he heard the door close. He couldn't sense anyone's presence. 'I'm alone... But's that's what I wanted. To get rid of them. I need no one and no one needs me. I am, but a thorn in their side. A nuisance."

Crawling out from under the bed, Ryoma dug though his pocket until he found his phone. Flipping it open he went to the contacts and pressed the dial tone of the one top of his list.

"Hello." He heard on the other side.

"Shan. I can't do this. I want master, I need him." He heard a sigh coming from the other end. Ryoma knew what he was going to say, but it didn't mean he wasn't going to try.

"Ryoma, I told you already..." He was cut off by the cat.

"I know, but I still can't believe you. Can we talk about that photo you had of me?" It was silent for a few seconds and Ryoma could only guess Shan was trying to remember which picture.

"Oh, the one with you and Sei?" Hearing a 'Hmm.' Shan started to explain when it was taken and why they were in America visiting in the first place.

Downstairs Sei was now moping in a corner, while Mitsu had gone back to laying on the sofa, but this time with both his arms covering his face. "So anything interesting happen?" Kei asked as he grabbed the remote and turned the TV off giving all of his attention to the two, who are now not in the best of moods.

"Ryo-Chan hates me." Sighing Keigo looked to the blunette.

"Didn't he use to say that quiet a bit to you when you first met him?" Sei turned his head and gave the monkey king the biggest kicked puppy look he had ever seen.

"Yeah, but this time it sounded like he meant it." The blunette mumbled. Syu eyes snapped open. Leaving the room he walked upstairs.

As he was about to check for Ryoma in Mitsu and Gen's room he paused when he heard the cat's voice coming from his. Leaning his ear against his bedroom door he listened in. "So you were looking for me all this time?" Syu could only guess that the boy was on the phone and not just talking to himself by the surprise in his voice. "Thanks Shan, at least I know that someone was searching for me. It feels nice to know I wasn't forgotten and just remembered when someone had found me." Taking a breath Syu pushed the door opened and walked over to the cat who was sitting in the middle of the room.

Snatching the phone he spoke in it. "Shan, he'll call you back sometime." With that Syu hung up and looked down to a gobsmacked Ryoma. "We need to talk." Snarling the cat jumped to his feet.

"You just hung up on Shan. Why should I listen to you?" He shouted/demanded. As Ryoma was about to storm off, Syu shut the door the his foot before grabbing the cat's wrists. He pushed the boy's back to the door and pulled his wrist up so he was defenceless. Ryoma bared his teeth as he growled. "Let go."

"No." Sky blue eyes stared into golden ones. "Never hurt the one's I love." Ryoma felt himself falter at the tone of the others voice. "You had a bad day. We understand that, but never take it out on us." Hearing a 'tch' coming from the cat as he looked to the floor. "Look at me when I'm talking." The tensai slid his free hand on the boys check and pushed it so they were staring at each other again. "You know, we are always hear to listen Ryo-Chan to what ever you have to say." He took a breath before leaning down and nibbling the others neck. "I love you." He whispered gently into his ear.

Moving again so his lips were inches from Ryoma's, he didn't do anything, but stay still. The boy had been so captivated he slowly moved his head forward, his lips itching for a taste. As he was about to close the gap completely he felt a finger on his lips. "Ryo-Chan if you want one you only need to say three little words to me." With that the tensai pulled back to the boy's shock. "When you're ready, you need to apologize to Mitsu and Sei." With that he realised the boy's wrists and waited for him to move so he could leave the room.
