CHAPTER ELEVEN

 

Five years back…

 

"You've got some pretty good moves there, boy."

 

Gojyo spun on his toes to behold the man who had earlier given him a drink. Smiling, he said, "I'm not that good. I just love the music. But, thanks for the compliment and the drink."

 

"So you've turned eighteen today, huh?" the man asked. "Well, how does it feel to be a man now?"

 

"Except for dating a pretty older woman and having my first drunk, it doesn't feel any different," Gojyo answered, as he continued shimmying to the music, blissfully unaware of the five other men who were slowly surrounding him. "Oh, I'm Gojyo. What's your name, Ojisan?"

 

"Ojisan?" The man rumbled with laughter. "I'm not that old! Just call me Jinnei."

 

"Nice to meet you, Jinnei-san!" Gojyo attempted a cavalier's bow, but ended up keeling over and falling into Jinnei's arms. "Whooo! I guess alcohol doesn't agree with me. I'm feeling a little tipsy. I'd better go see what's keeping Karin, so we can call it a night."

 

"Come now, Gojyo! The night's still young! Let's dance some more!"

 

"But…"

 

Before he could decline, Gojyo was swept off his feet and into a swing. Around and around the dance floor he and Jinnei went, the swift motion causing his wine-addled brain to spin. Dizzy as he was, he did not feel that brawny arm wrap tightly around his waist.

 

When the music changed to a slow dance, it was only then that Gojyo noticed the disturbing closeness of Jinnei's body against his own. Worse, five more hard bodies crowded around him.

 

Not wanting to offend the older man, Gojyo begged politely, "Jinnei-san, forgive me but I don't mean to be rude. I really must get going. Karin's probably waiting for me."

 

A lewd voice suddenly muttered behind him. "What's your hurry, birthday boy? The fun's just starting!"

 

"HUH?" The redhead turned to see a scarred face leering at him.

 

Then, hard fingers cupped his cheeks and forced him to gaze into a drooling chubby face. The man's sagging cheeks and jowls grew pink as he smiled.

 

"You're right, Jinnei," he exclaimed, wiping the drool from his mouth. "He really is quite a looker!" A slimy hand ran through Gojyo's hair. "I never saw red hair before."

 

"Go, that's because the kid's a half-breed. Father's a youkai and mother's a human, I bet." It was the scarred man who whispered to him earlier. "I heard they possess an exotic beauty, but he is truly exquisite."

 

"Too bad you've got scars," the fat man called Go touched the parallel lines on Gojyo's left cheek, causing the redhead to wince in disgust, feeling it slimy with saliva.

 

"You're slobbering again, Go," Jinnei chided the fat man. "I don't want Gojyo here to think that we're all perverts."

 

That comment caused the scarred man beside Go to burst into laughter. "That's a good one, Jinnei! Aren't we all perverts? Right, Nagai?"

 

Nagai, a black-haired man with a mustache, approached them, his hand reaching out to give the half-breed's butt a squeeze. "You've got that right, Phaksee."

 

"Stop that!" Gojyo cried out in surprise, jerking away only to find himself bumping into a giant wearing a black patch over his right eye.

 

"Where do you think you're going, boy?" the giant boomed with laughter. "The party's just begun!"

 

A weasel of a man snuck up behind him, snickering. "Come on, Muroi! You're scaring Gojyo here!"

 

"I can't help it if I'm such a big man, Cheun." Muroi gave the startled redhead a wink. "But I'm sure Gojyo can manage. After all, he just became a man tonight.

 

Muroi shoved the boy into Jinnei's embrace. Before Gojyo knew what was happening, he was lifted off his feet by strong arms, and a hard mouth pressed on his lips in a bruising kiss. The half-breed was then abruptly released, only to be pushed to Nagai, who also kissed him hard and squeezed his butt again for good measure. Again and again, Gojyo was pushed among them, unable to stop those harsh lips and groping hands. When he was again shoved into Jinnei's embrace, his head was spinning.

 

Gojyo, however, was jolted back to reality when a rough hand reached inside his shirt and groped his chest. At once, he began to struggle, pushing back at the older man, as he cried, "Stop! Let me go, damn it!"

 

Out of the corner of his eye, the half-breed saw Karin's shocked face. She then rushed out of the bar, clearly abandoning him. He couldn't blame her though. These rough men would've hurt her.

 

When his jeans were yanked down his legs together with his shoes, Gojyo drove his knee into Jinnei's privates. As he was dropped, the redhead made a quick dash for the door before the others could grab him.

 

"TAKEO! GET HIM!" he heard Jinnei shout behind him.

 

With his eyes focused on the door, Gojyo easily avoided those hands that reached out for him, and dashed right out into the street. Not too far from him, he saw Karin coming with a marshal.

 

Gojyo waved frantically to her. "KARIN-SAN! HELP!"

 

A heavy hand clamped over his mouth silenced the half-breed's cries for help. He turned and saw a face filled with hesitation staring back at him.

 

"Give him to me, Takeo," Jinnei ordered. Gojyo was immediately handed over to him.

 

"What's going on here, Jinnei-san?" the officer asked. "Karin-san here said that there's a…disturbance."

 

"Oh! You mean this?"" Jinnei twisted Gojyo's arms painfully behind his back. "This little catamite thought to cheat me of money. I already paid him for his…services. I deserve to get my money's worth, don't you think?" He even gave the officer a knowing wink.

 

"LIAR!" Karin exclaimed in anger. "This boy is not a whore! We went into that bar for a couple of drinks to celebrate his birthday. They're the ones who've been harassing him!"

 

"Karin-san…" The officer scratched his head, a broad grin on his face. "Everyone knows that you yourself are a hooker. If this boy chose to go into the same line of work as you, there's nothing you can do about it. Besides, it's Jinnei-san. You don't have to worry about your little recruit."

 

Karin couldn't believe what she was hearing. "For God's sake, would you listen to me? He's not a whore!"

 

The officer was becoming visibly annoyed. "Jinnei-san…it looks like it's this woman here who's disturbing the peace. Should I throw her in jail?"

 

"No!" Gojyo suddenly spoke up. "She's got nothing to do with this!" He closed his eyes tightly so he wouldn't have to see the stunned look on Karin's face. "I…I caused trouble for Jinnei-san, and I'm…I'm sorry."

 

"And it's good you know that, boy," Jinnei remarked in undisguised triumph as he started to haul the redhead away. "Now, let's you and I rejoin the party!"

 

Karin rushed forward to stop him, but the officer seized her arm. "Unhand me, you fool! You don't know what you've done! Gojyo!"

 

Gojyo looked back at her with a sad, defeated smile on his face. "It's all right, Karin-san. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."

 

Something warm splattered on his cheek, and he heard the woman who had spat at him mutter in disgust, "Whores! This town is being overrun with them! It's sickening!" Her son even stuck his tongue out at him.

 

Karin was furious when she saw what that woman did. "He's not a whore, you bitch!"

 

"Karin-san…"

 

Whatever it was he was going to say remained unsaid as a hard fist was driven into his belly.

 

Before he blacked out, Gojyo caught a glimpse of the distress on the face of the man named Takeo, as Karin cried, "If you possess a conscience in that thing you call a heart, you won't let them do this to him!" Bursting into tears of helplessness, she wept, "Oh, Kwannon! Please show mercy upon this poor boy!

 

~~~~~

 

"Hey! Sleeping Beauty's waking up!"

 

Gojyo's eyelids fluttered open. At first, everything was blurry. All he could see was a dark shadow looming above him. But when his vision cleared, he nearly jumped out of his skin, seeing Go's fat face leering down at him.

 

The half-breed acted instinctively. He let his fist fly out, decking that disgusting face. As Go reeled back, clutching his bleeding nose, Gojyo quickly sat up, only to be yanked back by a large beefy hand in his hair. A hard fist crashed into his jaw, sending him falling to the floor.

 

Before he knew what was happening, Go gripped a fistful of the half-breed's hair and jerked him to his knees. His blood ran cold, seeing the fat man fumble with the zipper of his pants and pull out an erection that was as large and as thick as a slab of sausage.

 

Yanking Gojyo's head back, Go said grinning, "Now, open wide, kid." But the minute that rod pressed against his lips, the redhead sank his teeth into the rank length. Go howled in pain, jumping up and down like a bear, clutching his privates. Gojyo would've laughed at that hilarious sight.

 

However, his grin faded when Jinnei came closer. A hand grabbed his face, fingers digging into his cheeks and forcing his jaw to drop open. A leather glove was shoved deep down his throat, suddenly sealing his airway. As he choked, the evil man, with the help of Phaksee, lifted him up and slammed him down onto the pool table. With a lick of his lips, Jinnei completely ripped Gojyo's shirt from his body. Panic and breathing difficulties made the redhead lash out with his fists, but Nagai grabbed his wrists and stretched his arms taut above his head.

 

And then they were upon him.

 

Squeezing his eyes tightly shut so he won't have to see their demented faces, Gojyo shuddered as greedy hands ran all over his bare flesh. Cruel mouths bit down and suckled painfully on his nipples. A large hand closed around his unresponsive member, gripping and jerking on it so hard that he felt it was going to get torn off.

 

Soon, however, the lack of air, was gradually dulling all sensation. It would be a good thing, the half-breed thought, if he blacked out and never woke up. At least, he would never know the atrocities that were being committed upon his body.

 

Gojyo was briefly brought back to the present by a devastating thrust that ripped through his entire being. A muffled howl of agony and one deep breath, and he felt the gag sink deeper into his throat, cutting off his air completely. Then, blessed darkness began to settle in.

 

If there is a merciful god up there, Gojyo prayed as his eyes rolled upwards. I beg you do not wake me up to this horror.

 

~~~~~

 

When Gojyo's eyelids fluttered open, he thought he would find himself in the afterlife. Instead, he found an anxious face looking down at him.

 

"You're all right!" the man exclaimed in relief. "Thank the gods you're all right!"

 

Gojyo couldn't help the bitter tears that started to pour down his face. "Why did you bring me back?" he sobbed. "Why didn't you just let me die!"

 

Jinnei declared from the armchair where he was sitting, "Takeo here hasn't had a turn yet, boy. Seeing that he just saved your life, you owe him a fuck."

 

A frightened whimper escaped the redhead's throat, as he curled up into a tight ball on top of the pool table.

 

Surprisingly, Takeo exclaimed, "Jinnei, I won't do this! You guys have done this poor boy too hard!"

 

"Oh, don't be such a wuss!" Phaksee chided him. "You'll regret it if you won't do him!"

 

Cheun pulled out a dagger and licked the blade suggestively. "You know what'll happen if you don't go along."

 

"I'll tell you what, Takeo," Jinnei began to propose. "How about I give you a choice? It's either you take our pretty little hanyou here or the rest of us continue to do as we please with him. What do you say?"

 

Takeo gritted his teeth, at a loss on what to do. The boy had been traumatized enough. It was a miracle he was still alive after the abuse he had endured. The bleeding between his legs would not stop. He feared the boy was hemorrhaging internally. Then, there was the damage to his mind.

 

No, Takeo couldn't do this to him. But if he didn't…

 

He looked at Jinnei. There was an expectant smile on his face. Takeo knew first hand the kind of evil the man was capable of.

 

Yes, he thought. Perhaps it would be better to end the boy's misery by raping him to death.

 

But when Takeo roughly jerked Gojyo onto his back, his resolve wavered, seeing the anguish in those crimson eyes.

 

"Don't do this!" Gojyo pleaded. "Please don't hurt me anymore!"

 

Takeo bit down on his lower lip. Cupping the boy's cheeks, he leaned down as if to nuzzle at his neck.

 

"Listen to me, Gojyo," he whispered in the half-breed's ear. "I don't want to do this to you, but I have no choice. I swear, however, that I'll be the last."

 

"It hurts," Gojyo moaned softly.

 

"I know it does, but I'll be gentle. If it hurts, remember. Take a deep breath and relax. Breath and relax."

 

Although he knew the boy was terrified, Gojyo nodded.

 

Takeo blocked out the sounds of his companions egging him on, concentrating instead on making it as painless as possible for the redhead. As he pushed his erection through the opening, Gojyo whimpered, the muscles of his ass constricting instantly. Takeo was amazed that after the numerous abuses his body had endured, he was still very tight.

 

"Huurrrttssss…"

 

"Remember what I told you. Breathe and relax."

 

Gojyo drew in a long, shuddering inhalation. As he exhaled, Takeo carefully pushed in, the head striking that point that aroused pleasure. The half-breed stifled his surprised cry by pressing his face to Takeo's shoulder, arms wrapping around him tightly.

 

Takeo smiled at that reaction. "Now, hang on, Gojyo. I promise I'll make this quick."

 

With much effort, the older man controlled the force and rhythm of his thrusts, wanting to spare the boy beneath him of all pain. Surprisingly, it was Gojyo who urged him to move faster by making small jerks of his hips. But Takeo maintained all control, until his seed filled the half-breed in spurts. Gojyo also came, his slick fluids coating their bellies.

 

"Good boy," Takeo whispered as he kissed Gojyo's sweaty face.

 

Before he could gently ease himself out of the boy's body, Takeo was roughly yanked back. Before his shocked eyes, he saw Muroi position himself between the crying boy's legs, sporting an ox-sized erection.

 

"You promised me it would end with you, Takeo-san!" Gojyo screamed hysterically as his flailing hands were pinned on top of his head. "You promised!"

 

Takeo clapped his hands over his ears to drown out Gojyo's screams as his body was brutally plundered by the giant. Above him, he heard Jinnei answer the boy's cries.

 

"Takeo is in no position to make promises with you, Gojyo, because I am the ruler here."

 

~~~~~

 

The night seemed like an eternity for Takeo, who could do nothing to help the poor half-breed. All he could do was watch and weep helplessly as Jinnei and the others raped Gojyo repeatedly and relentlessly. The boy had lost all will to fight back. He merely lay on the pool table like a rag doll, letting them do whatever they wanted with his battered body.

 

It was a couple of hours before daybreak. Takeo took a limp Gojyo onto his lap, wrapping him in his cloak. Jinnei came over and bared Gojyo's left shoulder. Using a strange looking tattoo stylus, its wooden handle carved into a snarling demon's face, Jinnei drew a heart on the boy's shoulder, using a phosphorescent red ink with their blood mixed in it. When he was done, Jinnei signed his name inside the heart, and then handed the stylus over to Cheun. Takeo too was forced to sign his name with the others.

 

As he took the boy once more from Go's grubby hands, Takeo heard Gojyo mumble, "So cold…"

 

Placing his hand over the boy's brow, he suddenly pulled it back in shock. "Jinnei, this boy's burning up! For heaven's sake, aren't you done with him yet?" What Takeo did not tell Jinnei was that Gojyo was not only feverish, he was very hot, and his temperature was rising with every minute that passed. Already, the redhead was as warm as a hot water bottle.

 

"No, I'm not done with him," Jinnei said with a smile. "In fact, I've enjoyed him so much that I intend to bring him back with me to the mansion."

 

"Come on, Takeo!" laughed Nagai. "Don't tell me you didn't find pleasure in him! Damn it, you lover boy! You had Gojyo here screaming for more!"

 

"Why you stinking bastards…" A hand pressing on his chest stopped Takeo from charging at his companions.

 

"Takeo-san…run…."

 

"Huh?" Takeo looked down at the half-breed in his arms.

 

Gojyo's long hair, however, hid his face.

 

"Run…" the boy repeated, his voice suddenly deep and guttural. "…And don't look back."

 

"But Gojyo…"

 

Gojyo slowly and painfully stood up. "Run! I won't have you die in this place!" he hissed as he limped towards Jinnei and the others.

 

Something in the boy's voice made Takeo obey. As he hurried into the bar, he heard Gojyo call out his name one last time.

 

"Takeo-san!" Turning, Takeo saw Gojyo gazing back at him with a heartbreaking smile on his face. "Thank you for your kindness."

 

Nodding once, Takeo ran outside the bar, just as his ears caught a terrifying whoosh. This was followed by blood-curdling screams that chilled his blood. Whirling, he was horrified to see the bar ablaze.

 

Karin, who had been standing all night at the street corner, waiting for a chance to save Gojyo, hurried towards him. "You bastard! Where's Gojyo? What did you sons of bitches do to him?!" she cried, pounding her fists on Takeo's chest.

 

Her tirade came to an abrupt halt when Muroi and Go stumbled out of the bar, screaming, with their bodies ablaze. The two men fell right at their feet. As Karin and Takeo watched in growing horror, two figures appeared at the window. Even with the flames, Jinnei was recognizable. But the other….

 

Jinnei, however, remained defiant, reaching out and laying a hand on the other's left shoulder. Laughing madly, he cried, "You may have burned me to ashes, but for as long as my mark remains on your skin, you belong only to us! You will never be loved, Sha Gojyo! NEVER!"

 

Takeo yanked Karin's arm and pulled her down the main street away from the bar, as Jinnei was consumed by a blast of flames. Behind them, they heard a keening wail that gradually rose in pitch, the sound tearing at their souls. That wail was accompanied by the build-up of tremendous heat that set fire to houses and shops. Already, they could hear people screaming inside their homes as they were burned alive.

 

Suddenly, there was a huge explosion that drowned out all the screams of anguish and terror. Still, Takeo and Karin ran, not daring to look back at the angry red blast cloud that was following right at their heels. They feared that they too would die in the inferno.

 

As they stumbled into the woods at the edge of town, to their astonishment, the flames were suddenly pulled back to the epicenter of the explosion, sucked back by the lone figure that was floating on top of the blast crater.

 

"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" that being wept in remorse over the death and destruction it had caused.

 

As Takeo and Karin watched, it shot up into the sky as a blazing fireball and disappeared into the clouds.
