Protection Contract: A High & Low FanFiction: Hiroto Amamiya Focus

Chapter Six

        Sighing I looked over at the clock, 21:00 it read. I've been thinking about that memory for five hours already. Huffing I got up from where I was lying deciding to go grab a drink. Walking out of the room seeing the tray of food now gone.
     Walking into the kitchen grabbing a beer and half a sandwich. Quickly going back into the room sitting at Takeru's desk going back to that time while eating.

       Once I was thrown into the back of his car I could see the three brothers and mine standing at the exit, watching as I was taken away. "Saigo let me! You know I didn't do it!" I shouted thrashing around in the back. "Calm down Aimi," He sighed while pulling away.
        Sighing I gave up on trying to break free, simply sitting there glaring out the window. Watching as we passed the turn off for the station causing my head to snap towards him. "Where are you taking me?" I questioned. "Someone important wants to see you," He stated.
         Groaning I sat there watching as we drove into a more secluded rich area. A giant white mansion coming into view as we came to a stop. Quickly he got out dragging me from the car. Looking around seeing armed men everywhere as he pulled me along into the house.
       Quickly realizing where he's taken me. "You're throwing me to the wolves," I whispered feeling the anger boiling in me. "Shut up," He whispered causing me to huff. Once we were in a dimly lip room I was thrown to the floor.
        "Remove the cuffs and let me have a work with her," A man spoke from the shadows. Nodding Saigo quickly uncuffed me before leaving the room. Sighing I kept my head down as a pair of feet appeared in front of me.
        "A little girl like you has no business being in adult matters," The man spat. Sighing I glanced up at him seeing an older cold look man. "You seem cocky," I sighed. Chuckling he quickly slapped me before bringing my face up to him.
       "You're going to work for me. I need a bit of company for a couple hours and I'll be kind enough to let you live," He spat. "Is that your way of asking for my parents land?" I questioned eyeing him. Smirking he slapped me again this time hard enough to draw blood.
      Chuckling running my tongue along my bottom lip tasting the metallic blood seeping from my lip. "You'll give me the land anyways. You'll do everything I say or else that brother of yours pays the price," He spat grabbing my face again.
       "Take the land then just let me keep the company name. I'll relocate and stay out of your way," I sighed while eyeing him. "And you'll give me company for a hour or so. I have some stress to relieve," He chuckled darkly.
        "Guess I'm making a deal with the devil today," I sighed earning a smirk from him. After a moment of staring at me he kicked me back. I didn't fight back as he unleashed some of his anger on me. My body becoming sore and weak with every hit I took.
       Once he was done he sat on my legs looking down at me. "Why are you still pretty after being beat?" He whispered while rubbing my cheek. "I was born with it," I whispered giving a small smile. Smirking he bent down placing his lips by my ear. "The real stress relief starts now," Be whispered.
       Swallowing hard I laid there letting him have his way with me. My body aching every time he touched me or hit a bruise. My skin crawling at the feeling of his lips on my skin. I have to do this to keep Rin safe, no matter what Rin must stay safe.
        After a while he was lying next to me, chest falling and rising while a thin layer of sweat covered both of us. "You feel amazing maybe I really will have to keep you alive," He mused while getting up. Looking down at me he sighed before kneeling next to me. Roughly dressing me before standing me up, shoving me down into a chair beside us.
        Walking out the door coming back a moment later with Saigo. "She's my bitch now," The man spoke causing Saigo to sigh. Quickly he came over to me collecting me from the chair. "Until next time," The man spoke as Saigo pulled me from the room.
         Quickly getting us outside and in the car before leaving. I looked out the window unable to do anything else while things became more familiar. The car stopping at the edge of Little Asia. Saigo getting out tossing me from the car watching me land on the ground, before leaving.
          Groaning I pulled myself to my feet stumbling about as I made my way back towards the apartment. Hearing a motorcycle in the distance causing me to smile, as my knees buckled. Falling to the ground lying there as pain radiated through me.
      The motorcycle growing closer until it finally came to a stop. "Aimi!" Takeru shouted. Lifting my head up looking over at him with a small smile. "Takeru," I whispered while eyeing him. Quickly he scooped me up into his arms, getting on his bike. Rushing us back towards the apartment while I leaned against him.
     "What happened?" He questioned as we came to a stop. "Saigo threw me to the wolves, Kamizono owns me now," I whispered before my eyes closed and exhaustion took me away.

      Every time something bad happened Takeru was always there to help. He was always there to rescue me and protect me if he could. After that night he found out what Kamizono was forcing me to do, what he was holding over me. He kept blaming himself for not protecting me even though this wasn't something he could protect me from.
       Although after he left Kamizono stopped contacting me. Stopped trying to kill me, he let me live in peace. I have a feeling Takeru played a roll in that, probably by finding him a new toy to play with. That was his way of protecting me, but now he's gone. The one time I wanted to protect him I failed, and now he's dead.
        Sighing I threw the rest of the sandwich away along with the empty beer bottle. Dusting off my hands before looking through his desk. Pulling out all the papers I could, stopping when I found a letter addressed to me. Pulling it out with shaky hands taking a deep breath before opening it.

       Dear Aimi,

       If you're reading this that means I'm gone. With that being said don't blame yourself, no one could've saved me from this path. I choose this on my own from the day my parents were murdered, it only grew the day yours were murdered as well. What also grew that day was my rage after finding out what he did to you, seeing what he did to you.
       I felt miserable not being able to protect you properly. So I did that once I disappeared and worked for them. I made sure he didn't contact you by keeping him busy so he wouldn't have the time. I made sure you stayed alive and were left alone. I couldn't let anything happen to you, not again.
       There's something you don't know though that I was never able to tell you, so I'll tell you now. I loved you Aimi. Not as a sister though, the love I had for you was more than that. I wanted to tell you, to make you mine. The night you came over with Rin for dinner and drinks.
         I was going to tell you while we were dancing but then Hiroto cut in. I watched the two of you dancing and laughing. The look you both hand in your eyes, made me realize I was too late. You had already fallen for my brother, and I wasn't going to ruin that.
        But even though you were taken by him I still loved you. Still wanted to protect you and care for you. Which I did the best that I could. You meant the world to me, that's why it broke me after I saw what that bastard did to you. It broke me to leave too, I almost couldn't go through with it. Almost couldn't handle the thought of leaving you alone without me around to protect you.
        Even though Hiroto and Masaki will always protect you. I wanted to be the one to do it and it was almost enough to make me stay. But I had to get my revenge for my parents, for yours, and for what he did to the woman I loved.
        Aimi, promise you won't blame yourself for what happened, it's not your fault. It's not one's fault but my own. Make sure you live long and well with Hiroto. Make a happy life together and come visit me from time to time. I'll always be watching over you.

Love,
Takeru

      Taking a deep breath I put the letter down, while wiping my tears away. He loved me and I loved him, yet I stupidly thought he only saw me as a sister or best friend. So I moved on and ended up falling for Hiroto yet this whole time Takeru loved me and I was too blind to see it.
