Villain Days

Chapter 10:

The Feelings of the Doggy Samurai Seiryuu Kenshin Pt. 2

When I arrived at the Houou estate, a servant guided me through the second floor corridor. A soft weep echoed throughout the halls. When I reached the source of the sound, I found that it was Yuu wrapped up in a mountain of blankets.

Did you dislike seeing me this much?

During the time that I stood worried, sifting through my thoughts, I became shocked by my tone of voice directed at Yuu. It was accusatory, as if placing all the blame on the other party.

No, I didn’t mean to say it like that. I’m just worried about you…

As I had been caught in my own reverie, Yuu asked to borrow my cellphone, claiming that he was planning on leaving this place. And when he looked up at me, those eyes seemed to belong to the former Yuu.

But at that time, I was convinced that this self-proclaimed memory loss was but a trick to garner Hiroto’s attention. As such, I couldn’t stop staring him down.

And my emotions and suspicions were still a mess even when Hiroto returned. Lately Hiroto’s attitude towards Yuu was incomprehensible. He’d sport a dark smile while practically giddy from bullying Yuu.

It was such a nostalgic sight.

Back when I was a kid, whenever Yuu got teased by Hiroto a bit too much, he’d always come running to me. It’d been my job to comfort him.

So I carefully waited for that moment.

Sure enough, when Yuu suddenly clung to me, a rush of elation surged through my form. But as soon as my heart began to soar, one look into Hiroto’s eyes and the surrounding temperature already dipped to subzero degrees.

He must have been be jealous of the fact that Yuu glued himself to me, refusing to let me go. That dark smile stretched wider as he sized me up.

As I was attempting to break free from his hold, my eyes picked up the slight sliver of collarbone peeking from the rising tide of his shirt. Isn’t that a hickey? Hiroto must have put this on Yuu. What the hell? The kid’s in junior high, for god’s sake. I started to wonder if he embraced Yuu.

Watching as the younger teen’s reactions to getting caressed, my nose began to bleed.

Yuu…you’re too erotic!

After that, Hiroto pulled me aside to speak privately, not wanting Yuu to overhear. A tirade of doubts clouded my head.

“Is that really Yuu? Is it true he lost memory?” Hiroto didn’t immediately answer, and instead seemed to mull over his thoughts for a bit.

With no reply, I continued my monologue.

“Yuu’s personality seems to have reverted back to when he was a child.” The depressed demeanor seemed to have been wiped off the face of the earth, and now all that’s left was a bright and cheerful aura. I was happy for this. As I expressed my feelings of joy, Hiroto spoke.

“Ken. Yuu is probably planning on escaping from here.”

“…?”

“He’s might transfer or move houses altogether. That’s why please don’t let him anywhere near a phone. Don’t let him get in touch with Miaki-san,” said Hiroto in a cheerful manner. Those dark eyes of the Demon King, swirling in an unfamiliar abyss. That guy would occasionally smile like that.

“Trying to escape, huh?…when this belongs to me!” The tremors in his voice shook my spine. But I didn’t step down, shooting at glare at Hiroto.

“Take those words back. Yuu doesn’t only belong to you.”

That’s right. Yuu was no longer Hiroto’s property. Although he had always been chasing after Hiroto’s back in the past, the present Yuu has lost his memories. Now that there’s a clean slate, didn’t I have a chance? I held Hiroto’s gaze, glaring back challengingly, but he only returned it with cold eyes. Then he smiled. Reverting to that bold attitude.

“Well, first of all I need to crush his opportunities for moving. Since my mom and Yuu are close, I’ll be in trouble if I don’t often check up on him. But for now I’ll put Yuu in your hands. Even if you try your best, nothing’s going to happen.”

“…who are you talking to?” We both laughed, grins spreading on our faces.

I’d been looking forward to such a battle.

And so Yuu came to stay over at my house. The first time since that ninja movie fiasco. How many years has it been? Crap. I was so nervous and couldn’t think of anything to say. From the car to the corridors of my house, not a word left my lips.

After finishing the rest of my errands, I came to look for Yuu, catching him at a moment of reverie. He was standing there admiring a bamboo blade and I felt the beginnings of a nosebleed erupt. Yuu’s loveliness nearly caused me to collapse on the floor. But, even I had a limit.

I was shocked by Yuu’s subsequent words. Did he somehow catch the conversation between Hiroto and I? Are you going to leave me? Forever?

I completely forgot the words I had prepared, and instead, as the blood rushed towards my head and engulfed me whole, I bent down and kissed Yuu. The kiss was purely primal, instinctual, and I took  care to seize his lips in a frantic haze over and over again. I’d been jealous; I disliked the image of Yuu surrendering obediently to Hiroto’s ministrations, the look of pure pleasure fogging up crystal blue orbs. Forgiving Hiroto’s touch on your skin. My name had been forgotten by your lips. Even me…you had…!

No matter how much I put it off, it wasn’t enough. Feelings of extreme lust, which I had yet to experience until then, enveloped and dominated me in continuous strikes. I didn’t know how long I’d been yearning for this. In the end, Yuu and I fell asleep from exhaustion.

The next morning, as the golden rays of the sun slipped through the cracks of the blinds, I woke up with a fright. My face bled as pale as a sheet after noticing Yuu’s naked silhouette on my bed.

Yet Yuu forgave me. He forgave me with the warmth and compassion of an angel. I was so overcome with happiness that I kissed him again. Even his name was so cute,  I remembered thinking.

And so I believed god gave me a second chance. I was given the opportunity to repair our relationship.

I was given a chance to love Yuu.
