~*Fear*~

~Chapter Three~

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Taiki had been living with this voice in his head for quite a while now...maybe three weeks. Nothing bad had happened, so he was starting to trust it...not much, mind. But some.

There had been a few times where he had woken up to realize he had missed a day or so. He supposed he'd been taken over by the other inside him during those missed days, but no one ever mentioned anything out of the ordinary, so he let it go.

Yaten was still having her nightmares, and so the boys were still watching over her at night. Taiki noticed, though, that it seemed that he was asked more often than not to watch over her. Rather than get his hopes up, he simply dismissed it as chance. There were plenty of reasons why she could be choosing him more often.

He was with her tonight, sitting in the chair beside her bed. She seemed to be sleeping peacefully, although these days you never could tell. Suddenly, she sat bolt upright, her green eyes wide and panicked-looking. Her breath came fast and furious in huge gulps, like she'd just come up for air after nearly drowning.

Taiki put his hands on her shoulders. "Calm down, Yaten. It's okay. You're safe." She leaned forwards, letting him wrap his arms around her as she cried. Her long silver hair draped across her face when she tilted her head upwards and propped her chin up on his shoulder. Her own shoulders shook as she sobbed.

When she realized she was hiccupping from crying so hard, she drew a deep breath, held it, and let go. Soon her hiccups were gone, and she was no longer in danger of hyperventilating. Taiki never let go, he simply held her until he thought she was okay.

"C-can I have s-someth-thing to d-drink?" She asked after getting control of herself. Taiki smiled warmly. "Of course, Yaten. Something to help you sleep? Cocoa or tea?"

She thought for a moment, nibbling her bottom lip to try to keep herself together. There were sometimes when it felt like he had read her mind. "Cocoa." She answered finally. "I'm in the mood for some chocolate."

"Okay." He gently kissed her forehead. "I'll be back in a few minutes."

Disentangling himself from her, he stood and headed for the kitchen in the apartment. Tidying up out of habit, he bustled around as he prepared her cocoa.

Suddenly he froze. His eyes darkened eerily, giving him a dazed look before snapping back into focus. When they did, a small smirk passed over his face. The 'other' was in control.

When Taiki returned to control a few moments later, he looked around, dazed. Wow. That was weird. Shrugging it off, he picked up the mug on the counter and brought it into Yaten's room, handing it to her.

With a watery smile, she nodded, taking the cup and sipping at the warm drink inside. Sighing as the warmth flooded her body, she relaxed. Taiki ruffled her hair, grinning at her. "Good?" He asked.

"Very." She replied, smiling at him. "Thanks, Taiki."

"You know it's no trouble."

Yaten blinked. For a moment, his gaze had changed slightly...from mere affection to what had looked like something akin to...tenderness. If it had changed, that change had been reversed so quickly she wasn't even sure if she had seen it. Almost as if to test him, she leaned up against his chest, her mug still in her hands.

Barely missing a beat, he gently slipped his arms around her waist. She sighed; his aura against hers was just as comforting as the strength in his embrace. She put down her nearly-empty mug so she could huddle close and closed her eyes.

After a few minutes, Taiki noticed her short, even breathing and gently eased her away from him. He lowered her down to lay on the bed. She didn't even twitch as he kissed her forehead again, and he settled down in his chair to watch over her as she slept.

But not for long...

In a flash, the alter-Taiki had taken control. Taiki felt himself literally ripped away from the control of his own body and heard what he could only describe as the door of a jail cell banging shut. His consciousness rippled, almost as if shuddering. *What are you doing?* He inquired, feeling shaky from the sensation of being ripped from his own body.

I'm doing what you wanted me to do. His alter replied. Taiki watched in confusion as his hands gently ran over the curves of Yaten's body, exploring it lightly. He shuddered again, feeling the sensations as if he were controlling it. *Stop it. Now.* Even to himself his voice sounded weak.

His alter laughed. Now? Why now? It's only just started!

Gooseflesh rippled over his semi-corporeal form as Taiki stared through his eyes. It was almost like a scene in a virtual reality game; he could sense everything, but he couldn't control it. Horrified, he watched his own hands slip down to the hem of Yaten's nightgown and tug it up and over her head.

*No! Don't! Please, don't do this!* He cursed himself when he heard the pleading in his voice. But as his alter had fun undressing Yaten right before his eyes, he found himself wishing that she would wake up and stop him before it went too far.

You must think I'm a fool. Why do you think I took control of you a little while ago? I put something in her drink...she won't be awake enough to stop you.

*You, not me.* As the scene before him grew more horrifying, he found himself thrashing to regain control of his body. He heard his alter snap at him. What do you think I've been doing these past weeks, you moron? Knitting sweaters? He laughed, a harsh cackle that hurt Taiki's throat. I've been perfecting my hold on your body. You can't do anything while I sit here and have fun with your little crush.

*NO!* Taiki cried. He struck at his now-apparent bonds again and again, trying to loosen them. They wouldn't even flicker. He was helpless against the evil that had invaded him. And it was now clear that the aforementioned evil wouldn't leave him until it had blamed him for this...atrocity.

He felt a loop of something twist around his neck, turning his head until he stared out of his own eyes again at the scene before him. The loop twisted and hardened until he couldn't turn away. His eyes filled with incorporeal tears as he saw his beloved Yaten, naked and helpless, tied by her wrists and ankles to the frame of her bed. A chill ran through him when he realized this was how she had described herself in her recent dreams. Which meant...

*Oh goddess.* His eyes widened when he realized it. *I was the one...in her dream...the one who...who...*

With great difficulty, he hung his head, covering his face with his hands. But at a sound unrelated to his current internal argument, his head snapped back up again. It was a moan.

Yaten was waking up.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Yaten moaned softly. Her body felt heavy and sleepy, but her Senshi senses were clamoring at her to wake up. She was stretched into an uncomfortable position, her hands above her head and her legs spread. She could feel a weight on her hips, almost as if someone were sitting on her. Why would someone be sitting on her?

She forced her eyes open with great difficulty. Colour swirled in her vision until it solidified into a picture. A picture that didn't quite make sense to her sleepy mind. But her senses were still yelling at her.

Yaten was looking up at the ceiling. As she looked up, in the bottom half of her vision she could see Taiki. Why was Taiki's face above her?

Looking up, she realized her hands were bound to the frame of her bed. Suddenly, panic made everything click in her head. She could feel the bonds on her feet as well, holding them apart. The weight on her hips was Taiki, and yes, he was sitting on her. The last, frightening thought that entered her mind was the realization that not only was she bound, she was also completely naked. And the satisfied smirk on the face above her meant only one thing; he had done this.

"Wh-whass...g-goin' on? Taiki, w-why're you...?" Her voice was weak, sleep-laden and slurred. She fought her body, trying to make it respond quickly, but it was like her reaction time had slowed about hundred-fold. There were only two things that could do that to a Senshi: a powerful drug or a powerful spell. Her hips shifted, trying to throw him off, but her movements were too slow and too limited by her bonds.

"Don't worry, Yaten dear. I'll take care of you." His voice was soft and sweet, a slightly psychotic-sounding parody of his normal tone. Chills swept through her body as he touched her in all those soft places she normally kept protected.

"No..." She tried to sound firm, but the drowsiness layered on her body made it simply sound like she were trying to stay awake. "No."

"No what?" He questioned, his soft hands questing her body. Fiery heat pooled in her as he tweaked the nipples on her chest, causing them to harden.

"No..." Now she sounded breathless. She felt betrayed by her own body as it reacted to everything he did to her. Her skin heated under his touch, misting slightly with sweat as he moved closer and closer to an area she didn't want him anywhere near.

Shaking her hips, she tried to get him to realize she didn't want him there. It was in vain, for he simply mirrored her movements. A grin lit up his face as he gently stroked her folds and she actually bucked trying to stop him. "No!" She managed to cry. "No! No!"

"Are you ready?" He asked her. Tisking slightly as he recieved a number of curses in several Galactic tongues, he pinched her mouth shut and asked again. "Are you ready?"

When she shook her head, tears in her eyes, he let her go. Before he did anything, however, she spoke.

"Why are you doing this, Taiki? Why?"

"Why, Yaten?" He leaned close enough to whisper in her ear. "Because I love you."

Her heart stopped. Literally. He what?! All the blood drained out of her face as she stared at him in shock. Her mouth functioned long enough to say, "If you really love me, you won't do this to me."

"Oh, but Yaten, I do. And now I'm going to prove it to you."

The index and middle fingers on his right hand stiffened slightly and she could do nothing but scream as she felt him slide into her. He slid almost all the way back out, then slammed her again, harder and deeper each time.

Her body was a live wire, sparking with anger and passion. Her breath began to take on the same pattern as his thrusts, deeper and faster as it wore on. Awful need welled up inside her until she feared she would burst if he didn't stop. She actually managed to whisper "Stop..." but he carried on as if he hadn't heard her.

"Taiki...please...stop..." Her voice was breathless and choked, but still he ignored her. The pounding inside her increased in speed and intensity, so unbearable that her body began to pound with him in order to speed along the end.

When the climax came for her, it tore through her like a sword, leaving a bloody heap where her self-respect, self-esteem, and her trust lay in butchered hunks. She screamed again, a terrible, primal cry that hurt her throat. Her face was streaked with tears of fear, pain and anger.

One thing was for sure: She would never trust him again. Never.

~*~*~*~*~*~

As she screamed, Taiki gradually felt control of his body return to him. Tears slid from his eyes when he saw her, broken and betrayed, her face streaked with tears of pain and anger. Those pale green eyes, those windows to the soul he loved so much, were clouded with fear. He was so busy trying not to fall apart that at first he didn't realize she was talking to him.

"W-w-what?" He asked. She turned to look at him, a glare full of pure, unabbreviated hatred on her face. Gritting her teeth, she repeated her request. "Get out of me."

Taiki blinked, unsure of what she meant until he looked down and saw it for himself; his fingers were still embedded inside her. Horrified, he pulled out of her, stumbling to his feet as he stared at the liquid dripping off his hand.

The look on his face was pure panic. Yaten didn't understand it; hadn't he been gleefully raping her a moment ago? But she didn't care. She wanted him away from her, disgusting, dirt-made creature that he was. "Get out."

"Yaten..I...I..."

"GET OUT!" She shrieked at him. His eyes wide, he turned and fled. Moments later, she heard the door open and the water running in the bathroom. Turning on her side to cover up as much as possible, she began to sob. Her heart and mind were a mess, her soul ripped to pieces at Taiki's violation of her. All she could do now was cry.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ouch. Poor Yaten. And poor Taiki too...**sniffle** Poor, misunderstood Senshi they are. Ah, well. Please R+R. ^_^ And you know the drill...try and gently inform me if anything's wrong and how to improve it. Most of the later things that happened in this chapter have never happened to me personally, so I'm trying to do the best I can, lol.

I'm not sure, but the earlier scene in the kitchen is more OOC than I'd like it to be. But unfortunately, I'm not sure how to fix that either. Hints? Tips? **pleading eyes**
