Claimed // MikaYuu

32

I really don't want to listen to what Mika has to say. I kind of just feel like throwing myself out the castle window and allowing my blood to splatter all over their fancy flowers surrounding the outside of their estate. But Mika starts to play with my hair, and his next words startle me.

"I have some rules that I need to lay down for you, Yuu," I blink back the oncoming tears. Weakness won't get you anywhere, Yuu. "They're very important, okay? They're only here to help you become an obedient partner for me, that's all." Mika pauses, waiting for a response from me.

I ignore him. Mika continues anyways, despite my silent treatment.

"I want you to know, Yuu-chan, that I really do care about you. I love you very much and it hurts me to see you in such pain. But darling, pain comes with disobedience so if you could just follow these simple rules, everything will be alright, okay?" He brushes the hair away from my face and presses a soft kiss to my forehead. I flinch, causing him to sigh.

"Now, they're very basic. Rule 1: stay in the castle at all costs, unless I allow you to leave with either me or some other supervision. Rule 2: always reply to me when I ask you a question, and I want a verbal answer. Rule 3: don't talk back to me, disrespect me or any other person in the castle, disobey me, or say you hate me. Rule 4 is simple. Love me." He gazes at me with his cold blue eyes.

I look away.

I can't believe he expects me to follow his sh*tty rules. Does he seriously think I'm going to give up that easily? I'm no longer fighting for myself. I'm now fighting for the vengeance of Shinoa, Mitsu, and possibly Kimizuki.

My heartbeat suddenly speeds up at the fear of Kimizuki leaving me as well. Then it would only be Yoichi and I. Oh gosh...

"Now, darling, I want to make myself clear here," He says gently. Of course you do. "If you are to disobey these rules there will be strict punishments. These could result in the death of your other friends or a physical or sexual punishment for you. I hate to be rough with you but unfortunately you've shown me that it has to be this way. Trust me, Yuu-chan. I will do whatever I can to get you to love me. Even if it means going to the sickest of measures to do so."

I'm sickened by his words. He'd be willing to cause me physical and sexual torture, and to eliminate the only other people I have left that I care about, just so that I will love him? What kind of psycho movie is this?

He starts to rub gentle circles on my stomach beneath my shirt. I shudder at his touch and he frowns at that.

"I know it's going to take you some time to settle in after what I just did not too long ago. So I will definitely give you some time to recover, okay?" I don't reply, as usual. He hugs me softly. "See? I'm not so bad." He says with a confident smile on his face.

I can't look at him. He sickens me...to the point where I feel like I'm going to throw up.

"And I promise, Yuu. You'll get used to the routine, okay? It won't be so bad after you get into the swing of things. I know it seems like I'm being hard on you but I'm actually being quite nice, judging on your behaviour these past couple of days." I feel fresh tears slipping down my cheeks. He turns me around to face him.

I turn away, not standing to look at his face. He grabs my chin, though, and forces me to look at him. He gently swipes my tears away with the pads of his thumbs, and gently leans forward to place a sweet and soft kiss to my lips. I flinch and start to break out into trembles. He pulls me close to him again and presses my face into his warm chest. My tears soak his shirt as fresh sobs escape my lips. He shushes me softly.

"Shhh, my love," He murmurs. "It won't be so bad, anymore. I promise."

"I-I miss them..." I sob. It's the first words I've spoken to him in an hour. He hugs me tighter, muffling my sobs in his chest.

"I know, baby. I know."

Crying so much finally gets to me and I suddenly feel exhausted. Mika pulls back so he can look me in the eyes. He wipes my tears away again and kisses my forehead.

"Get some rest, okay? You look tired." I don't want to, with him being next to me and all, but I can't help it. I'm so d*mn tired...

I finally give up and close my eyes. He strokes my hair while whispering sweet nothings in my ear. Eventually, sleep gets the best of me and I drift off in Mika's arms.

Right now I'm really depressed so if you could drop some purples hearts or something to make me smile I would greatly appreciate it. :)

Love ya! :) xx
