Horse farm and a traumatized Shinichi (Shinkai)

Chapter 8

"Ugh..."

His Sapphire eyes opened and he felt a bit better, now but that didn't mean that he wasn't feeling bad. Shinichi probably scared the living hell out of the other with him having that flashback, and afterward passing out. That he wouldn't get out of it alone was not a surprise and usually, he just pushed it aside, when he felt them coming. But why didn't it work now? He shuddered slightly at the females he saw.

"You are finally awake. Kaito is right now, doing some calls and asked me to look after you."

His head snapped towards the voice and seeing that it was Saguru. He could see the others concerned yet conflicted expression. He hated it and couldn't change anything about it. It made him realize once again how bad his PTSD can get. A sigh escaped as he gave the other a small nod.

"I won't ask, but I can guess from what Kaito is assuming that you weren't just experimented on physically but there were some mental games as well. I know you try to avoid it, but that won't change anything."

Shinichi opened his mouth but closed it again as it was trying that he always avoided talking about anything related to it. His best friend did guess as well what had happened and now Saguru was not a surprise. The other was like his best friend a detective.

"H-how?"

Was all that he brought out and the other let out a sigh.

"Kaito did mention something. You were...."

The other grimaced and he could see how horrified he was. Now he couldn't hide it anymore, and from someone like Saguru, it was nearly impossible. He was pretty sure that the other would try to find it out, and getting him into danger. Shinichi rather gave in then making Saguru get into the danger. And then there was Kaito, who he was sure who would do something idiotic when hearing about it...

"Y-y-yeah, s-she d-did s-s-some p-p-pretty m-m-messed u-up s-s-stuff...."

He couldn't talk anymore as his throat was closing off, that was how terrified he felt about the female.

"That was all I needed to know. Don't worry, I won't go and do something moronish like my best friend would. But with this, I have a reason to bring her once more into court."

The other had a furious expression, and he felt slightly surprised by this. Why was he doing this? They didn't know each other that well, so why?

"W-w-why?"

The other gave a small smile towards him, which wasn't making him less lost.

"First of all the other would try to do something moronic and second of all, I am a detective and I hate when people do these things. You as a former detective should know my reasons. After all, her sentence was too small. Usually, the victims of that case didn't break the silence..."

The other pause as he gave him a soft smile.

"You on the other hand just did. Sadly, as long as the victims don't say that they were forced into sex, nothing the juristic can do. I found it utterly bullshit, but this one is a female, and sadly you don't get have that kind of injury when females would get with males. I will give her the sentence she deserves."

The other grit his teeth and he could see that Saguru was furious.

"You weren't the only one which she played mind games on. And there was something else, all victims males, and females were terrified of other females. And I always wondered what she has done to them, to make them that scared. Now the answer is simple."

He felt a bit lighter now weirdly enough, usually, he didn't talk about it. But it seemed easier to talk to the half brit which made him confused.

"Rape, I know that you avoided talking about it, but how will you get better when not going to talk about it. Don't avoid it. Three years Shinichi. Three long years how will you get better when you won't talk at all."
