Numb Hearts

Chapter Three

By KellyQ

Takato came racing down the ally when he heard Lee's scream. He stopped dead with great shock in his eyes. There stood Ryo with a bloody arm and Lee trying bandage it with a bloody knife by his side.

"Takato and I will take you home."

"No!" Ryo responded yanking his arm from Lee's grasp, "I'd rather die than go back there!"

"Why are you so scared of going home?"

"You wouldn't understand ... none of you would."

"Ryo, we want to help you ..."

"Who said I wanted your help! So you can feel sorry for me?"

"You have definite attitude problem! Lee and I are trying to help you!"

"And just who in the hell are you? The attitude police?"

"Takato."

"No shit Sherlock! Now leave me alone!" Ryo demanded pushing Takato away as he started to walk away.

"Man, I never met someone so negative and hateful before!" Takato mumbled.

Ryo stopped dead turned and pushed the other boy down violently. Lee gasped when he saw Ryo trying to rip off Takato's clothing. He pulled the other boy off as he felt the other boy stiffen as Takato sat there trembling with fear.

"Oh God! What have I done! Takato, I'm so sorry!"

The goggle-head boy backed away when Ryo tried to touch him. He got up and ran. Lee let the boy drop to the ground as he took off running after him....

*********************

Ryo tried to sit up but figured that he couldn't. His writs hurt and he felt very hot. He tried to tilt his head forward so he would see but he could and his body felt sore. He turned his head and realized that he was in his own room. Fear started to grip his heart when a shadowy figure walked to the end of his head bed.

"You where a knotty boy," Said a voice as Ryo tried to yank his hands free, "it's no good trying to escape, we have unfinished business."

"Please don't," Ryo pleated as the figure started to unzip his pance.

The figure took hold of the bound boy and yanked up upward. Ryo could smell alcohol in his breath. His eyes widen even more when he recognizing the figure; it was his chosen. By know Ryo had all his cloths ripped off and he was trembling as the cold air sunk into his bare skin. He closed his eyes as tears formed.

"I want those eyes open!"

When Ryo didn't respond his cousin slapped him. Hard. Ryo opened his eyes as his cousin pushed him down lifted his leg up shoving violently into him. The last thing remembered before black out was being slapped.

********************

Takato sat up in a cold sweat, his body trembling in fear. It has been two days since anyone has seen Ryo. Lee thought it was because he accidentally hurt Takato but he wasn't sure. Now he has nightmares from it, even though Lee knew that Ryo didn't mean to, Takato hadn't had much sleep lately so he decided to sleep over at his house. When will these nightmares ever end? He thought covering his face with his hands sobbing.

"Takato?"

He jumped a little turned his head to see Lee looking at him with concern in his eyes.

"Another bad dream?" Lee asked as the brown eyed boy sighed, "do you want me to sleep with you?"

"No."

"You sure? I won't bite. Beside," Lee responded hesitating, "I was going to wake up and ask for another blanket. I was really cold."

"Why didn't you say so? ---- Well, I guess we can."

With no other comments Takato moved to the other side of the bed as Lee climbed in. Hesitating Takato curled with Lee to keep him warm. The dark haired boy looked at his new friend. He sighed; he couldn't stop thinking about Ryo. He really felt bad for him, like he wanted to take care of him and protect him. Same as Takato.

The strange thing was that why would did he have these thoughts when he wasn't gay. He did have a crush on a girl named Ruki but that relationship didn't last for vary long. But he still couldn't get Ryo out of his mind and it was starting to get to him.

"Can't sleep?" Takato asked.

"No. I just can't stop thinking about Ryo. I mean, I feel sorry for him."

"Yea, I was thinking the same."

"You're not mad at him for what he did?"

"Depends on how you look at it. When he did it, I was really scared and I still am but there is no reason to get mad, it won't help."

"That's nice. I just wish that people where open minded like you, but not many people are." Said Lee looking away.

"Oh."

Silence.

"Takato?"

"Yea." The other boy responded half asleep.

"Have you ever fallen in love before?"

"No."

"Oh ... so you haven't been kissed or never felt as thought you knew that a citron someone was just right for you or made you feel good inside?"

"No, why?"

"Just carious."

"Oh. But we should get some sleep. It's past midnight."

"Good night, then."

"Night Lee."
