Chapter Five


With the bed sheet wrapped around his body, Yuu stared out the window, hugging his knees.“Kill me! You killed my mother and my sister. Why didn't you kill me? Why did you do such a thing to me? Even though you are a cruel bastard, I thought that you were a man of your word Kuron. I actually believed you when you said that you wouldn't touch me no matter what. You are such a liar!” Yuu shouted out and then he buried his face in his knees. “You got your wish Kuron. You hurt me, you ruined me, now get out of my room!” he added.

Kuron leaned over and whispered into Yuu’s ear, “This is nothing compared to the pain I felt when I lost my brother at your mother’s hands. I will take everything away from you till you have nothing left. I will hurt you in every possible way I can come up with Yuu.” Kuron gave a cold laugh and slid off the bed. He made his way to the door where he opened it and without a backward glance, he walked into the arms of his lover who was waiting just outside the door for him.

“Yuu?” he heard his father call before he entered Yuu’s room and silently shut the door behind him. Yuu turned and glared at his father with anger in his eyes. “I hate you! You are the worst, Father. Are you happy now to see me like this?” he asked, his every word filled with venom.

“I didn't mean for things to turn out this way Yuu. I thought that he might be in love with you. Why else would he order me to give you to him? I swear Yuu I had no idea that he bore a grudge against your mother.” Nara tried to make his son understand that he really didn't know about Kuron’s real intentions. It pained him a lot to see his son being treated this way, but there was nothing he could do to help his son without getting himself and his lover killed.

“I don't care for your lies Father, just get out of here. I don't want to see you anymore. In fact, stay away from me, you are no longer my father.”

"Alright Yuu, I understand. I know how you must feel right now after what you just went through." Nara sighed and then he left.

Yuu lay down on the bed and gazed up at the ceiling. He had to find a way to contact his Uncle Phillip. Only his uncle could help him out of this hell.

"Master, your father has already sent word to your mother about what happened to your cousin Yuu. What are you going to do about it?" Percy asked as he helped his master into his robe.

"Kuron is more powerful than I am. I will have to think carefully before I act Percy or things will turn out more in his favor than ours. I can't let that happen, not when Sakura’s life is in danger as well.”

“I know that your first priority is Sakura, but don't forget your poor cousin Yuu. I hope that he is alright,” Percy said with a sad sigh.

Kei smiled. “Yuu is strong and stubborn to the core. He will be alright, not to mention that he has his mother’s power to use against Kuron.”

“But Master, your cousin Yuu still has not realized that he inherited his mother’s power. How is he supposed to protect himself with a power he doesn't know he has?” Percy pointed out to his master.

Sakura came walking in at that very moment, not knowing that he had just interrupted the men’s conversation. “Alright I'm here. Talk and be quick too. I'm really tired and I want to go to bed as soon as possible Kei,” said Sakura, reminding Kei that he had asked to see him earlier.

“Percy, we will continue this conversation tomorrow.”

“Yes Master.” Percy bowed, then he turned and left his master’s bedchamber.

“Come here Sakura,” Kei ordered after Percy left him alone with the boy.

Sakura shook his head refusing to oblige to Kei’s order. “No thank you. I'm fine where I am, just say whatever you wanted to say so I can return to my room.”

Kei smiled. “Are you afraid of me Sakura?" he asked in a low tenor voice.

“I'm not afraid of you Kei! I'm just being cautious. I don't want a repeat of what happened this morning and this afternoon.” replied Sakura.

"I thought you liked my kisses Sakura...”

“Well you thought wrong.” Sakura crossed his arms and turned his head to the side. "Can you just tell me what you want to talk to me about so that I can get to bed?”

“I changed my mind. I'll talk to you in the morning tomorrow after you have had a good night’s rest." Kei announced with a smirk on his face.

“You...oh you really get on my nerves Kei! Why don't you just say whatever it is that you want to tell me, and get it over with now?”

“I could but I won't,” said Kei as he walked over to stand in front of Sakura. With both his hands, he cupped Sakura’s face and lifted it up. He gazed down into Sakura’s eyes and for the third time that day he kissed Sakura, and once more Sakura responded to the kiss.

“Your lips, they are so soft and they taste so sweet Sakura. I can never get enough of them,” Kei whispered in Sakura’s ear after he ended the kiss.

Sakura’s face turned bright red from embarrassment at what he just heard. He pulled away from Kei and strode out of the room so fast that Kei was unable to stop him. All the way to his room, he cursed himself a thousand times for allowing Kei to kiss him. Why didn't he stop Kei when he could have? Why didn't he do it, he wondered. Damn it! Kei sure was one hell of a kisser. The man could have any girl or guy he wanted if he kissed them the same way that he had kissed him, Sakura thought.

Once back in his room, Sakura climbed into bed and closed his eyes, waiting for sleep to come. When he finally fell asleep, he dreamed of Kei kissing him. He woke up in the middle of the night and made his way downstairs for a glass of water. On his way back to his room, he heard noises coming from Kei’s bedroom. He was curious so he quietly tiptoed to Kei’s door and opened it slowly and carefully so it wouldn't creak. What he saw shocked him. Percy was on his knees sucking hard on Kei’s arousal. Carefully he closed the door and turned around and returned to his room.

Sakura stood in the darkness of his room and the image of what he just witnessed replayed itself in his mind. He was mad as hell at Kei. How could the bastard say that he wanted to marry him and then do such a thing with another man? Like hell would Sakura marry an unfaithful man. Ahh! What the hell was he thinking and why the hell was he feeling like his heart had been torn apart? He felt like pulling his hair out. He walked over to his bed and climbed into it. He pulled the covers over his body and closed his eyes. Once he fell asleep he would forget what he had witnessed tonight. Sakura thought.

A noise in his room brought Sakura out of his thoughts right away. What the hell was that noise, Sakura thought, his eyes open wide. He stopped breathing. Something was not right. Something about that noise bothered him. No sooner than he had that thought, his pillow was yanked right from under his head and used to suffocate him. Whoever it was trying to kill him was using all their strength to press the pillow down on his face.

Like hell was he going to die here, Sakura thought as he struggled with whoever was trying to kill him. Just when he was about to lose consciousness, he heard the door to his room fly open. The pillow that was being used to suffocate him was removed from his face and he saw Kei staring down at him, his eyes was filled with worry and anger. “Kei..." he uttered softly as darkness consumed him.

“That bastard Kuron! He sent one of his shadow creatures over here. I am going to kill that bastard if it's the last thing I do!” Kei vowed out loud as he held the unconscious Sakura in his arms.

“Master I think that it would be best if you stay with the boy tonight. Those shadow people might try again,” said Percy. “Thank God that we were still awake at this hour Master. If we were asleep I don't think that you would have been able to sense them until it was too late,” he added.

Kei tightened his arms around Sakura. "Please forgive me Sakura, for I have failed to protect you," he whispered softly to the unconscious boy.

Percy quietly left the room, leaving his master alone with the boy he loved.

Sakura opened his eyes to find Kei looking down at him. He pushed himself off of Kei and scooted over to the other side of the bed. "You are full of lies Kei. You said that you would protect me. You said that you wanted to marry me. They are all lies!" He yelled out, his voice filled with anger.

“They are not lies Sakura.”

“I don't believe you Kei. You said that you wanted to marry me but then tonight I saw you and Percy in your room....” Sakura couldn't bring himself to continue on.

“There is nothing between me and Percy. What you saw was Percy helping me.”

“Helping you? Helping you by sucking you off? I'm not stupid Kei!"

"Sakura are you jealous of Percy?" Kei asked, his mouth slowly turning into a smile.

"Me jealous of Percy why?" Sakura's mouth opened wide when he realized that Kei was right, he was jealous. "Damn it! I hate you Kei," he said with not as much anger as before. "I don’t' get it. Why the hell am I jealous?” he said out loud.

Kei laughed and reached for Sakura. He pulled the boy back into his arms and held him. "Do you know why Percy was helping me relieve myself Sakura?" he whispered.

“Because you’re a horny pervert.” Sakura snorted.

Kei laughed again. “Yes that's true but I'm only a horny pervert for you Sakura,” he admitted to the boy. “Percy was helping me relieve myself so that I wouldn’t sneak into your room at night and ravish you. Do you understand Sakura?” he asked. “I wanted you Sakura. Every time I thought of you, I would become hard and want more than anything to have you under me, moaning in pleasure as I took you, but I knew that you were not ready for that, so I had Percy suck me off."

“Oh...” Sakura only manage to say. Than he looked up at Kei. “I'm still mad at you Kei, I was almost killed tonight by a madman,” he said. “You promised to protect me, but when I really needed your protection you weren't here to give it,” he added.

“You are right to be mad at me for that one Sakura. Feel free to punish me as you like. It is what I deserve for failing to keep my promise to protect you.”

Sakura became quiet for a very long time. Finally he came up with a good punishment for Kei. “You are not allowed to kiss me. That is your punishment Kei.”

"As you wish Sakura, I won't kiss your sweet lips,” Kei said, his eyes twinkling. “Instead I'll lay in your bed every night and hold you in my arms to keep you safe from danger in place of the kiss. What do you say to that Sakura?”

“That's not fair Kei!" Sakura protested.

"It sounds fair to me," said Kei, then he pulled Sakura down on top of him. Not once did he remove his hand from around the boy. “I'm really tired, lets go to sleep. Tomorrow we'll talk some more,” he said right before yawning.

“Fine,” Sakura mumbled. He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep with Kei still holding him.

-----

“Master, your brother is here to see you. He's waiting downstairs in the lounge room.” Percy announced early the next morning. He placed his master and the boy’s morning meal on the table and went to open the window to let the morning breeze in. He turned around to see his master sit up in bed with Sakura still asleep next to him.

"Tell him that I will be down shortly to see him," Kei said as he gently removed Sakura’s arms from his chest. He got up from bed just as Percy left the room. Kei gazed down at the sleeping boy with a loving smile on his face. Then he quickly left the boy’s room and went to get ready in his own room. Twenty minutes later, he sat in the lounge room across from his brother.

“What can I do for you Kell?”

“I know you have him Kei, and I want him back. What can you achieve by holding him here? Plus Mother and Father will be furious once they learn what you have done."

Kei laughed coldly as he watched the man with grey eyes and long silver hair pacing around his study. “Kell! You know that I can’t let your lover boy go unless you give me what I want. If you would just hand it over, I wouldn't have resort to this.”

“You know that I can't just hand the damn thing over to you Kei. Father gave it to me for a reason.” said Kell

Kei looked at his brother and he knew what he had to do. Just one final push and he would have his hand on it. “I will show you where he is and maybe then you will change your mind,” said Kei as he stood up and walked to the door. Kell followed.

“Where are you keeping him?" Kell asked as he followed his brother down a flight of stairs.

Kei didn't say anything, he just turned and smiled at his brother. He opened the big iron door and walked inside. He led his brother to the cell in the far corner. He unlocked it and stepped aside so that his brother could see inside the cell.

Kell was horrified at what he saw. Nick his lover was chained to the wall while being violated by the anzu plant. It was thrusting its branch in and out of him rapidly and Kell could see all the blood that was dripping out of Nick’s body. “Call that thing off!” Kell shouted at Kei as he rushed towards his lover.

“I will gladly do that, but of course you know my rules. I give you what you want and I get what I want.”

Kell knew that he had no choice now but to give his brother what he wanted. “Fine, I'll give it to you. Just get rid of that thing.”

Kei walked forward and placed his hand out. He chanted a spell and a rush of an invisible force surrounded the plant. It slowly withdrew itself from the boy’s body and went back to its original form in the corner.

Kell glared at the man before him with disbelief in his eyes. How could this monster be his younger brother, he thought as he cuddled his lover in his arms.

“I trust that you have something to give me?” said Kei.

Kell reached inside his robe and pulled out what his brother wanted. “Here take it!” He tossed the amulet to Kei.

Kei dangled the amulet in front of his face then he glanced back down at his brother. “I suppose I need to offer you a room so you can take care of your lover," he said with a smile. “I will send Percy to show you to your room," he added right before he walked away.
