5: Eyes

Arima's father showed up at school just before classes ended. "I thought you and your friends would want to go to the hospital."
"What are you doing here, father?"
"To take you and your friends there. Because of the media publicity, because of her social status as well as his, I have had to move them to a more secure area of the hospital. You won't be able to see them unless I take you."
"Thanks father."
"Her status? What does he mean Soichiro?" Yukino asked.
"I thought you knew. She is the heiress to the Singing Sun Publishing and Distribution company. They mainly sell karaoke equipment and music, but they are the parent company to several others. Miss Takishiro is extremely wealthy."
Arima and the rest could well understand why the security was necessary as the van, dressed up like an ambulance with tinted windows, was necessary. Paparazzi with flash cameras, many of them not Japanese, were vying with local TV reporters to try and get into the hospital. The van pulled around the back to the laundry and service entrance to let the students out.

Hideaki held Annie's hand until she woke up from the medication. The doctors had already released him to go home. They allowed him to stay, because Annie went into hysterics when she awoke and did not see him.
He was not about to let her go through the trauma alone, especially with the police and lawyer coming to interview her about the incident. He knew they would want a detailed report. He did not want her to have to recall and relive the experience all alone.
It was bad enough having a broken rib, dislocated ankle, and multiple bruises. Hideaki knew her mental state was much worse than her physical injuries.
Once she was awake, the nurse sat her up in bed and ushered in the lawyer and the police. Hideaki sat on the opposite side of the bed, kissing Annie's hand and squeezing it tightly in both of his hands.
"We have read the medical reports. On that alone, we have enough to keep Senyo Takishiro in custody for a while, but it would help if we had more information. We do not want him to walk away on a technicality, like he did when he nearly killed your mother. We understand it will be hard for you. You understand, Miss Takishiro?"
"Yes, I understand."
"According to the medical report, you were violently raped. Which of those who broke into your apartment did this?"
"Senyo Takishiro." She said as the lawyer nodded to the police officer. The medical report had confirmed who had raped her, but they needed her to be positive in case she needed to appear at his trial.
Hideaki took a sharp breath as Annie started to sob. He squeezed her hand and kissed it, "It's alright, Annie, I am here now." She had not told him about that one detail. She knew he would fly off the handle and go after her dad, to kill him. Annie did not want Hideaki to get into trouble for that.
"Can you tell us exactly what happened. Please be as detailed as you possibly can. This statement will be logged on your father's criminal record."
"I heard a noise downstairs. I opened the door and looked down to see that the kitchen light was on . At first, I thought it was Hideaki, sneaking in to make me breakfast in bed. It's my birthday, and I thought Hideaki was just trying to make me a present before school."
She took a deep breath and squeezed Hideaki's hand.
"Are you this Hideaki she is speaking of?"
"Yes, I am Hideaki Asaba, her next door neighbor and her boyfriend ."
"I see," The lawyer said," Please continue, Miss Takishiro"
"I started down the stairs and my father, Senyo Takishiro, stepped into the hall. He said, 'happy birthday' and proceeded to rush at me. I jumped over the banister and tried to get to the bathroom. I thought if I could get out of the window in there, I could escape. One of the other men stepped out of the bathroom, turned me around and slammed me to the ground. And, and..."
"I'm here, He can't hurt you," Hideaki squeezed and kissed her hand. He was trying to be strong, but he was on the verge of crying himself.
"The man from the bathroom laughed as he stuffed a towel into my mouth, sat on my arms, opened my robe and fondled my breasts. My father dropped his pants and masturbated in front of me. He kneeled down, ripped off my underwear and started liking me down there, saying that he wanted to make sure I was slick enough for him. He moaned and talked about how good I tasted. The man sitting on my arms started suckling my breasts and moaning for father to hurry up because he wanted some too. The man on my arms had opened his fly and was rubbing his penis along my lips saying that he wanted to put it in my mouth bet knew I would try to bite it off." She started to breathe hard and cry again.
Hideaki stroked her cheek so she would look at him a moment to regain her composure. Hearing this was killing him, but Hideaki knew there was no way around it.
" My father rammed himself into me over and over and told me that he knew I liked it. That, I was just a slut like my mother. He whispered about how glad I was so tight, making his friend laugh harder. He said he didn't expect a virgin and that it felt good. The other three men came into the room and dropped their pants. The next one tried to push himself into me as soon as father moved aside. The one on my arms jumped up to complain, allowing me to reach over and grab a knickknack that had fallen on the floor next to me. I slammed it into the face of the one who was between my legs. I pulled the towel out of my mouth and screamed at the top of my lungs." She closed her eyes and took a couple of deep breaths.
Hideaki squeezed her hand, "I'm here. I'm not going anywhere."
" I am not sure how I managed to get away, but I ran to the step where I had left my cell phone and hit the quick dial for my great uncle, Piman. Piman Takishiro. Father grabbed the phone before I could get very many words out, and broke it. I ran upstairs, barricaded myself in my room and started banging on the wall, trying to wake Hideaki. One of the men outside my door tried to break it down. I tried to get the window to my room open. It was stuck. My father yelled at whomever was pounding on the door, saying that he could have me when they got the stuff out of my apartment. He said he wanted to have it emptied before the sun got up. I went to my wardrobe to get robe or something to cover up with. I saw I was bleeding, and nearly passed out. I pulled on a sweater dress and tried to open the window again. I heard Hideaki and Piman's voices, I knew if I could just get next door, I would be safe." She pauses and smiled through her tears at Hideaki. He smiled back and squeezed her hand again.
"One of the men tried to break down the door again. He stopped and I heard Hideaki arguing with him. I was frightened when I heard someone roll down the stairs. Hideaki yelled through the door saying that Piman called the police and for me to stay where I was. I went and tried the window one more time when I heard father arguing with Hideaki. It opened and I went out on the ledge to inch my way towards Hideaki's bedroom window. When I was halfway there, Hideaki leaned out of his window and tried to grab my hand. I slipped on the snow. That is how I hurt my ankle. Father managed to break down my door. He leaned out of my bedroom window and started throwing things at me while Piman grabbed Hideaki so Hideaki could pull me into his room. I sat in Hideaki's arms until the police arrived."
Hideaki was crying as Annie leaned over so he could take her in in his arms. They both sobbed for several minutes.
"I think we have enough, but I would like to hear from you in a few minutes, Mister Asaba. We will wait in the hall."

Hideaki sat in the hall with his head in his hands. The nurse had given Annie another sedative to help her sleep while Hideaki was talking to the lawyer and the police in the hall.
It was a nightmare. He could not fathom that anyone could do that to His Annie. Even worse, it was her own father.
"Why do I have to be such a heavy sleeper?" He moaned.
He felt a gentle squeeze on his shoulder and looked up to see Arima and his friends standing there.
Hideaki stood and hugged Arima. "That bastard raped her and I was too late to do anything," he said as he sobbed into Arima's shoulder.
The rest of the group gathered around and hugged him. Hideaki fell apart again and sobbed.
"Asapin, Is Annie going to be okay?" Yukino asked.
"Yeah, but she is pretty shook up. You can go ahead in there, but I don't know if she's awake."
The girls slowly filed into Annie's hospital room, to stay with her.
"Tonami, come with me," Sakura said as she grabbed he boyfriend's hand, " I think Arima would like to talk to Asapin alone.
"Okay," Tonami said as he put his arm around Sakura's shoulder and closed the door after all the girls were inside Annie's hospital room.
"Are you going to be okay?"
"Yeah, it is just a few cuts and bruises from when the bastard threw me out of her house."
"That's not what I mean. The tabloids say that you two are engaged."
"I told the cops that so they would let me stay with her while they rushed her here."
"I was right the other day, wasn't I? I meant it to be a joke, but I was right. You are in love with her."
"Yeah, I guess I am. I think I have been since the day I first saw her. I don't know why, but she makes me feel silly, and happy, and all sorts of other good feelings. She is my muse."
"It was the same with me the first time I saw Yukino. Even when I found out about her faults, I didn't care. She was still the same Yukino to me."
"Soichiro, what do you see when you look into Yukino's eyes, I mean, how do you feel?"
"I feel like she is the part of me that has always been missing. I feel like I can face my past and my future, when she is around. Is that the way you feel around Annie?"
"Sort of, but not quite. I, well have this silly vision when I look deep in her eyes. Promise, you won't laugh."
"Now is not the time when I think anyone feels like laughing."
"Well, sometimes, I see a group of little girls playing in the park."
"That sounds like you. Another group of little lambs to swoon over you when they get older."
"It's not quite like that." Hideaki said calmly," Well, it was at first. But, the more I looked into her eyes, and the more I thought about the little kids playing, the lamb theory didn't work. It was like those sweet little girls were my own kids, mine and Annie's. I saw them long before I got up the nerve to kiss her."
"You saw your own kids?"
"Yeah."
"In Annie's eyes?"
"Yeah, sounds really corny doesn't it?"
"Wow. I mean no, it is not corny at all. I kind of saw the same thing the first time Yukino and I made love. I have never heard of a guy seeing that sort of thing before he even got very close though."
"I suppose I am hopeless, as well as helpless."
"No, I think you are just in love. The real thing, not just the adoration you had when you were trying to build your merryland."
"Thanks Arima. I have to find a disguise and go down to the gift shop, and I have to stop at my place for a little bit. I think Annie will be alright with everyone here to comfort her."
"I'll go get whatever you need from the gift shop. Believe me, you don't want to go down there. The press is swarming the place. There are even foreign paparazzi down there."
"It must be because of the overseas sales of my art book. Thanks, I would appreciate it if you would do that for me."
"You are my best friend. What do you need?"
"A dozen red roses and a birthday card. Today is Annie's birthday. Despite everything, I want a little bit of it to be special."
"You got it. Let me page my dad. He has a car waiting at a service entrance. He'll take you to where you can get to your place uninterrupted, unless they found out where you live again."
"Hell, I hope not. I have to get my artwork to the gallery, before any more of it gets messed up, and I want to find the birthday present I got for her. I don't want anyone stealing it."
