Chapter 2. Not Like The Others

Ken was hurting badly and he was confused. His former owners had never cared what happened to him or who did what to him. But this redhead had stopped the man how had raped him and he had been furious. Why he had done that the brunette had no idea though but he didn't trust his new owner, he had been a slave since he was 11 so he knew better. People would pretend to be kind just to use him later. Kase had been that way.

Ken shuddered at the memory of his former owner. At first Kase had been kind and sweet but then he changed completely. The brunette had never been owned by anyone so cruel before. The man who had lost him to the redhead had taken pleasure in hurting him, beating him, burning him, raping him and even more so in letting others do those thing to him while Kase watched. A part of Ken was thankful that the redhead had taken his place as his owner but only time would tell if this would be better or worse.

"I've called another doctor and she'll be here soon but I think we need to clean you up first," the redhead said. He really had a beautiful voice, a deep but smooth baritone. Ken carefully squinted at him and shuddered again. Was this man going to turn out to be just as cruel and sadistic as Kase?

"Ken, I won't hurt you and I won't let anyone else hurt you either." The voice was soft now but the brunette wasn't fooled so easily, he had heard those words before and they had always led to him suffering in one way or another.

"Can you walk?" Ken took a step to see if he could and felt his knees give in. Quickly his new owner was there and kept him on his feet. Was he going to get a beating for being clumsy? The slave flinched and tried to get away but the redhead's strong arms held him still.

"Don't worry I'll carry you instead, okay?" Too weak to struggle Ken felt himself being picked up and gently held close to a warm chest. The redhead carried him into the bathroom and carefully put him down on the floor but he didn't let go.

He was placed in the shower where he had been only an hour ago. Gently his new owner washed him, taking extra care so that he didn't hurt his abused body. When he was clean again the redhead wrapped a towel around him and carried him back to the bedroom. But instead of putting him down on the floor he laid him on the bed.

"Try to get some rest before the doctor gets here." Ken stared. He just didn't get this. His owner didn't even seem to care that he was making the bed wet. The redhead put a blanket over him and left. Tired and still in a lot of pain the slave fell asleep.

Ran checked on the brunette and smiled a little when he found him sound asleep. The slave was beautiful when his face didn't shine with fear and submission. Ran raised an eyebrow. Nice, he was checking Ken out already? He shook his head and went to call his cousin to see if he couldn't find someone who could take care of the brunette. His cousin wasn't someone he like a whole lot, mostly due to his personality, but he knew his way around. It rang for a long time before a sleepy voice answered.

"Kudou, who the hell is this?"

"Aya here," Ran muttered and rolled his eyes. His cousin was not a morning person.

"Ah cousin Aya. Why the hell are you calling me in the middle of the night?"

"I have a problem Yoji, one I think you can help me with." That should get his attention.

"The great Fujimiya has a problem? Well I'll be damned! So what can the Kudou do for you?" Yoji asked with amusement.

"I won a slave last night when I played poker and well I don't know what to do with him," Ran explained.

"I never thought I live to see that day when you owned a slave," the man chuckled and the redhead heard how he lit a cigarette. "What do you mean, 'I don't know what to do with him'?"

"I don't want him," Ran said flatly. "I need you to find someone who'll take him off my hands."

"Hm, what kind of slave are we talking about? What does he do?" Yoji asked thoughtfully.

"How should I know? He doesn't talk a lot and I didn't ask him."

"Okay, let's see if we can't figure this out then… Is he tall, short, thin, fat, what does he look like?" Ran grumbled.

"He's a little shorter than me, toned, tanned, brown hair and eyes, bruised, beaten and scared shitless," the redhead growled coldly. At that Yoji sighed deeply.

"Ah, he's probably a bed-slave then." Ran narrowed his eyes. What the hell did that mean?

"A what?"

"A bed-slave! Christ Fujimiya you have to know what that is," his cousin muttered.

"You know I've never had anything to do with slaves," the redhead said blandly and was rather fed up with the conversation.

"Aya, a bed-slave is someone you buy to fuck, beat up. Owners use them as they see fit," Yoji snorted, disgust plain in his voice. "They're usually treated worse than dogs and most of them don't last all that long." Ran was lost for words. That still didn't explain why Ken hadn't called for help when the doctor had raped him though. "Hey Aya are you sure you can't just keep him? I mean don't get me wrong here I don't like bed-slaves but… Well you could use some company." The redhead scowled.

"Kudou! He's a not exactly my type! Besides, I don't force myself on others anymore than you do!" Ran spat out, anger evident in his hard voice.

"Yeah, yeah calm down. I'll check around but I don't think I can find anyone who would treat him very good."

"Well try, I'm not sending him to another bastard!" Ran said harshly and hung up. He returned to the bedroom and looked at the brunette. "What the hell am I suppose to do with you?" he sighed.

The female doctor that showed up was short, cute and obviously didn't like Ran. She took one look at Ken and her brown eyes narrowed in anger. The redhead understood that she thought he was the one who had caused all those injuries but didn't say anything. He stubbornly stayed in the bedroom while she examined the slave, at least until she more or less pushed him outside. It took a long time before she was done.

"Well Fujimiya-san," she said harshly and crossed her arms.

"Is he going to be alright Doctor Ono?" A neatly plucked eyebrow rose at the question.

"He has several cracked rips, a twisted ankle, burns, bruises, cuts, infections and he has been raped repeatedly… But, he should be fine if he's left alone to heal," the doctor muttered. "Keep him in bed, make sure he eats and takes his medications." Ran nodded and sighed inside. For a moment Ono's eyes softened slightly. "I'm sorry for being rude earlier but I just can't stand seeing a human being treated so badly."

"I didn't…" the redhead started but was interrupted.

"I know you didn't do that to him, he indicated as much. Take care of him Fujimiya-san he's been living in hell for too long. If it was up to me this whole slave-business would be banned from earth!" Ran frowned and nodded in agreement.

"Is there anything else?"

"I don't know why you bought him but if it was for your pleasure I suggest you find yourself another slave, he's not going to be doing those things for quite some time." Ran narrowed his eyes.

"I didn't buy him! He'll stay here until he is well and then I'll see if I can't find someone to… to take care of him," he muttered coldly.

"Yes that would be just perfect," Ono said with sarcasm. "Patch him up and send him to some other bastard who will put him back in the state he is in now. Fujimiya-san, what his former owner did to him is common. A sane person doesn't buy a slave to have in his bed and treat him good." She shook her head sadly and left. Ran frowned deeply and headed back to the bedroom to check on Ken.

Ono was probably telling the truth, which meant that he was pretty much stuck with the brunette. There was no way he would allow anyone to hurt that slave again! Quietly he opened the door and took a peek. Ken was asleep again, tucked in under the soft quilt on the bed. Ran sighed deeply. Oh well, how bad could it be to own one slave? It wasn't like it was going to kill him, right? By keeping Ken he would at least be able to make sure the brunette was safe and unharmed.

~TBC~

I just picked Kase as Ken's former owner at random. The guy is a major creep so he fitted ne? Anyways, looks like Ran's going to keep Kenken but what is he to do with him? We'll have to wait and see. /S/ And again I am sorry for the crude things that are mentioned in here. Oh and I know it's far fetched to make Yoji Ran's cousin but I wanted them all in this story, which of course means that Omi will show up too /G/ Anyone dare to guess where we'll find him? /hehe/ Ja/Atsureki
