///////////////////////////
&n bsp; "It's time for some fun, girlie." Trent cut away at Shishio's uniform. Shishio went rigid whn he felt the cold blade come in contact with his skin.
'What will...he do?' Shishio thought to himself. Shishio felt hot tears cascade down his face, but were absorbed by the gag. Trent went to stand in front of the trembling teen and pulled on his hair, making crimson eyes meet dull brown eyes.
"Aww, is the little girlie crying? You're boyfriend can't save you." Trent slammed Shishio's head back onto the bench. He left the silver bat on the bench in front of Shishio's head. Trent went to his locker and brought out a thick, blunt pipe. He trailed a imaginary path across Shishio's back with it. He traced it all the way down to his sentive area. Shishio froze.
'No...please no!' Shishio began to struggle, but was stopped when he felt searing pain on his back. Shishio felt liquid run down his sides as he screamed into the gag.
"STOP SQUIRMING!" Trent placed his bloodied switchblade into the floor.
'Aoji...' He tried to move again, but was bombarded with blows to his legs, back, and shoulders. Shishio could only lay there, defenseless. He knew that moving would only make his suffering prolonged.
'There's no point of fightng back...I learned that the hard way from my father...' After seeing that he wasn't going to move anymore, Trent places his silver back to its resting place.
"That's better."
////////////////////////////
& nbsp; "What's taking him so long?" Inuyasha asked. It had only been about fifteen minutes when Shishio went into the locker room.
"He could be showering." Celestine added.
'I have a bad feeling...' Aoji thought to himself.
"We can give him a few more minutes before we go see what's taking him so long." Sesshoumaru offered. Aoji nodded.
'Shishio...'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Trent placed the blunt stick at Shishio's entrance.
"Your kind don't deserve a place, anywhere. Especially not on this team."
'Please don't--' Shishio's muffled screams were caught by the gag, as Trent rammed the object into his most private of areas. He could feel the stick abusing his insides. Shishio sobbed helplessly, as his head thrashed violently from side to side.
"No one makes a fool out of Trent Tokuya!" Trent viciously thrusted the wooden stick, coated with crimson, a few more times before violently ripping it out of him. Shishio gasped as the object was so forcefully removed. He felt an intense pain from where he was assaulted.
'...why...why me?I didn't do anything to deserve this...' His thoughts were interrupted when his head was jerked back, causing the pain in his injuries to intensify.
"You think I'm done?" Trent removed the gag and looked at his helpless victim. Shishio continued to sob heavily..
"P-please s-stop-p..." Shishio's hoarse plea was answered with a wicked grin. Trent grabbed the silver bat, whose handle was almost the same shape as the stick, except a bit wider. Shishio's eyes widened in realization and began to shake his head slowly. "N-no..." Trent used the gag as a blind fold. Shishio breath was uneven as he listend to the footsteps of his assailant. "No, please--"
"Scream for me, bitch." Trent rammed the handle end of the silver bat into the already abused area.
Shishio let out a blood curdling scream.
//////////////////////
& nbsp; Aoji lost his patience.
"I'm tired of waiting. I'm going to--" His sentence was cut off when he heard a sould piercing scream fill the already empty gymnasium.
"SHISHIO!" Inuyasha and Aoji ran to investigate. Sora wanted to go, but Sesshoumaru shook his head. He knew that whatever went on in there would upset his wife.
Aoji and Inuyasha arrived inside the locker room. They were mortified by what they saw. Shishio was tied up the bench, half hanging of it. HIs blood was pooling beneath him. They both realized the weapon used on Shishio was still apart of his body. Inuyasha had to resist the urge to vomit at the site.
Shishio heard footsteps and immediately panicked. "NO! S-STAY BACK!" His voice cracked with each word. He couldn't move very much because of his injuries. "...no more..." his sobs were loud and hoarse.
Aoji quickly strode over to his beloved and cut the ropes. He placed Shishio in his lap with his back facing up, and gently and slowly pulled out the weapon. Shishio sobbed loudly and began to thrash a bit when he felt an emptiness inside him. Inuyasha knelt in front of the scared teen and removed his blindfold.
"It's okay. It's us. It's me, ani. Remember me?" Inuyasha couldn't control his tears anymore. Shishio looked up with teary eyes through his bangs.
"A-ani?" Shishio was trembling in his lover's arms.
"Yes. And Aoji is here too." Shishio attempted to crawl out of Aoji's arms but Inuyasha stopped him. "Shishio, don't move. It's going....to be okay." Inuyasha had to be strong for his little brother. He could see the panick in his eyes as they darted around.
"I...I..."Shishio broke into a fit of tears. "I don't want to hurt anymore!" Aoji saw a towel in an open locker and motioned for Inuyasha to retrieve it. He then wrapped Shishio in the towel and brought him closer to his warm embrace.
"Shh, no one will touch you like that ever again. It's okay." He said in his most gentle voice. Aoji kept reassuring him, but Shishio only kept on sobbing.
'No, not again...' Inuyasha thought as he gently stroked his little brother's hair in an attempt to calm him.
"I don't want hurt...I don't want to hurt..." Shishio kept chanting this quietly to himself while shaking his head slowly. Aoji looked at Inuyasha, letting his unshed tears burst forth.
"We need Kouga." he said in a low voice. He buried his face in his lover's hair and gently rocked them both in his strong, protective embrace. Inuyasha stood up, but not before taking a look at his bloodstained hands.
'Shishio's blood...' Inuyasha walked out to the rest of the group in a daze. Kouga was the first to notice Inuyasha emerge from the locker room, and also noticed the his husband was staring in horror at his hands while walking. Kouga rushed over to them.
"What the hell happened?!" Kouga gripped onto Inuyasha's shoulders. Inuyasha looked up in pure fear but didn't answer. "Inuya--"
"Shishio..." he whispered. Kouga knew there was something wrong. He told the others to stay back. Inuyasha just stayed glued to the spot where his husband had left him. Sora approached him and gasped.
"Who...who's blood is this??" Inuyasha just stared at her in pure shock and fear. Sora seached his eyes, and saw the answer as clear as day. She brushed past Inuyasha, but she stopped when she caught what he said.
"Don't..." His voice was just a whisper, but he knew his sister heard him. Sora turned to him.
"Give me one reason why I shoudn't." Sora's voice dripped with venom at the request. He looked at her with sadness.
"You can't see him...not like that."
"Like what?" Sesshoumaru asked. Inuyasha looked at him with the same expression. He never answered his older brother, which wasn't a good thing. He held back his wife as she made another attempt to go see what was going on.
///////////////////////////////
&nbs p; "No...Ara no." Kouga surveyed all the blood lost and spilt in the locker room. He went straight over to Aoji holding a small, shaking form in his protective arms. Aoji looked up at his cousin in despair.
"<Please, h-help him.>" Aoji looked down at the dull crimson orbs of his beloved and cringed at the lack of life in them.
"<We need to get him to Sora's house. I have emergency medical supplies there and it's closer.>" Kouga gave Shishio a brief examination, just checking his vital signs. Shishio flinched when Kouga checked his pulse and shied away, trying to meld with Aoji's body in fear. "<He seems stable, but we're running out of time.>" Kouga took out his cell phone.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"H-hello?"
"Inuyasha, go to Sora's house. We'll meet you there. I'll call Kurama and Hiei to let them know that we won't be back tonight."
"O-okay." He ended to conversation and looked at his family.
"What did he say?" Celestine asked.
"He wants us to go to your house." he said, looking at Sora.
"No, I want to find out what happened." Sora didn't go very far. Sesshoumaru stopped her once again.
"That isn't best. We're going back. They'll meet us there." Sora was going to protest, but received a glare from her husband. Sora scowled, but nodded reluctantly.
"Come, I'll drive."
////////////////////////
; After Kouga hung up, he helped Aoji stand up with Shishio and went for the back exit.
"<The authorities must know about this.>" Kouga stated. He reached for his cellphone.
"<Is that wise?>" Aoji said in a low voice.
"<Yes, Aoji. We can't let whoever did this to him get away.>" Kouga dialed and gave the police the address of where they would be at.
As soon as they made it to the parking lot, police units were already there. One police officer stopped them.
"Are you Kouga DeLosLobos?"
"Yes, but I'm in a hurr--"
"I'm afraid you can't leave yet sir. The victim obviously needs medical attention." The officer cut in. Kouga and Aoji both let out deep growls, which startled the shaking teen. Kouga fished through his pocket and took out a small card.
"This card designated me as a certified doctor. By obstructing the treatment of the victim, you also jeopardize his life. I will have your badge if my little brother doesn't get the treatment he needs and suffers because you're just 'doing you're duty.' Move out of the way." The police officer gulped and let them pass.
Kouga helped Aoji slip into the back seat holding his precious cargo, while Kouga drove them as fast as he could. Aoji noticed that Shishio was cold to the touch. He tugged on his jacket sleeve with his teeth and did the same for the other. He covered the teen with it. Kouga turned up the heater in the car.
He looked down at his broken angel. Shishio's face was void of any emotion, but still tears were running like waterworks down his face. Aoji brushed them away, surprised that Shishio didn't flinch at his touch.
"Don't leave..." Shishio's tiny cracked voice was the only sound heard in that car. Kouga glanced sadly at the pair in the back then averted his gaze back to the road.
"We're never leaving you." Aoji whispered. Aoji's dark, shoulder-length hair covered his features as he kissed the top of his beloved's head and buried his face in his hair. His tears fell out of his glassy, icy blue eyes and into the midnight black locks.
; Luckily, they arrived home before the others and quickly got out of the car and into the house with the extra key made for Kouga. They rushed Shishio to his bed and gently placed him on the sheets, although he was reluctant to leave his safe place, but after some coaxing, he finally let go of his lover's neck. Kouga gave Aoji some orders for the medical supplies he needed. He saw the torn look on Aoji's face, as well as Shishio's. Neither wanted to be parted from the other.
"You know he will be in good hands, Aoji." Kouga then looked to Shishio. "And you have nothing to worry about. No one will hurt you. Not ever." He soothingly brushed away his bangs, smiling when Shishio didn't flinch back. Aoji went in search of the supplies and immediately came back in record time. "Shishio? I have to look at your wounds now. Will you let me do this?" He saw the panicked expression on his face.
"If I don't look at them, then they will become worse. And I'd rather do this myself then have some stranger do it. Please, chama." Kouga saw Shishio's defenses let down. He nodded, but began to sob even more. Aoji knelt down and wiped away his tears.
"No more tears. I won't leave your side. I swear it." Aoji place a light kiss on his face next to where his tears were pouring out of. Shishio nodded and tried to calm his ragged breathing. Aoji helped him turn over onto his stomach and moved his hair out of Kouga's way. Kouga looked up at the ajar door.
"<Close and lock the door, Aoji. I don't want anyone in here while I am doing this.>" Aoji nodded and got up quickly when he heard keys. He shut the door quietly and locked it. He returned to his place next to the bed. He held onto Shishio's hand and felt a firm squeeze when Kouga pulled back both the cover and the towel used to cover him up.
Kouga poured some medicinal powder into a bowl of warm water and swished it around with his finger. He then dipped a clean cloth when he believed the powder mixed well. He wrung the cloth and began wiping away the blood on his body. Shishio let out a painful gasp when Kouga cleaned away at the cut on his back. Shishio bit his lip, almost drawing blood, so he wouldn't cry out.
"I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BROTHER!" Sora's voice could be heard outside the door. Kouga ignored it and kept on working.
"PLEASE..."She sobbed loudly. Aoji could tell that they managed to detour her tendencies. Aoji looked into pain-filled eyes and rubbed Shishio's face gently to distract him from the pain. Kouga handed him an ointment he made in a bowl when he wasn't looking. It smelled like menthol and also had a soupy smell to it.
"<Rub this on his body. It will close his wounds and prevent infection. It'll numb the pain and make him somewhat sleepy also.>" Aoji knew there was a double meaning to Kouga's last sentence. He knew that his beloved's pain wasn't over. Aoji scooped some of the ointment onto the palms of his hands and gently worked it into the pale skin. He felt Shishio's muscles relax as he continued massaging the soothing ointment. He covered his body with it and returned to his perch.
Shishio's POV
That stuff feels good. I see Aoji...why is he still here? I'm damaged...He'll never want me after this...
I look into those eyes that captured my soul. He has shown me so much. He showed me what love truly is. It isn't about domination. It's about...cooperation. He showed me...that I'm not just someone's fucktoy. But...but now...
"Shishio..." I heard Kouga-Ani's voice breaking through my thoughts. "I'm...going to look at your more serious injuries now. So please, don't tense up too much." My eyes widened. My vision became blurry as my tears begged for release.
"No..." Is that really my voice?
"Shishi--"
"NO!" I screamed. "No more hurting!" I tried to moved, but Aoji placed a hand on my shoulders. I looked at him. "Aoji...please..."
; "Just focus on me. Everthing will be okay." I laid back down and never tore my gaze from him. I felt Kouga...touch my wound...back there. The cloth he was using earlier cleaned away at the blood that I now became caked on. I squint my eyes while looking into icy depths. Aoji squeezed my hand.
"Hurts..." he brushed away a tear that escaped.
"I know...Just focus on me." I continued staring at him, and remembering all the wonderful memories of him. How he smiles at me, how he holds me, touches me. Just...everything about him makes me fall deeper in love with him.
"<He'll need stiches...>" I really gotta learn that language. I see my beloved nod, but never breaking his gaze with me. I let out a small cry as I feel something prick my skin. He's...doing stiches?! I bit my lip everytime he pricked my skin and drew the thread through.
"No more hurting...no more hurting..." I start chanting in whispers. I see my beloved's expressing change to worry. I'm...tainted...ever since I was 15. He shouldn't worry about me.
"Tainted....tainted...." My new mantra. Might as well get used to it. Aoji kissed mt forehead lightly. Why did he do that? I was taken back by the love that shown through his eyes. I felt covers covering me up, signaling that Kouga-ani was done.
"I'll go brief them. No doubt the police are here as well."
I didn't really hear the last part. Everything started getting blurry and...dark...

That stuff feels good. I see Aoji...why is he still here? I'm damaged...He'll never want me after this...
I look into those eyes that captured my soul. He has shown me so much. He showed me what love truly is. It isn't about domination. It's about...cooperation. He showed me...that I'm not just someone's fucktoy. But...but now...
"Shishio..." I heard Kouga-Ani's voice breaking through my thoughts. "I'm...going to look at your more serious injuries now. So please, don't tense up too much." My eyes widened. My vision became blurry as my tears begged for release.
"No..." Is that really my voice?
"Shishi--"
"NO!" I screamed. "No more hurting!" I tried to moved, but Aoji placed a hand on my shoulders. I looked at him. "Aoji...please..."
; "Just focus on me. Everthing will be okay." I laid back down and never tore my gaze from him. I felt Kouga...touch my wound...back there. The cloth he was using earlier cleaned away at the blood that I now became caked on. I squint my eyes while looking into icy depths. Aoji squeezed my hand.
"Hurts..." he brushed away a tear that escaped.
"I know...Just focus on me." I continued staring at him, and remembering all the wonderful memories of him. How he smiles at me, how he holds me, touches me. Just...everything about him makes me fall deeper in love with him.
"<He'll need stiches...>" I really gotta learn that language. I see my beloved nod, but never breaking his gaze with me. I let out a small cry as I feel something prick my skin. He's...doing stiches?! I bit my lip everytime he pricked my skin and drew the thread through.
"No more hurting...no more hurting..." I start chanting in whispers. I see my beloved's expressing change to worry. I'm...tainted...ever since I was 15. He shouldn't worry about me.
"Tainted....tainted...." My new mantra. Might as well get used to it. Aoji kissed mt forehead lightly. Why did he do that? I was taken back by the love that shown through his eyes. I felt covers covering me up, signaling that Kouga-ani was done.
"I'll go brief them. No doubt the police are here as well."
I didn't really hear the last part. Everything started getting blurry and...dark...
