Quick Bio:

Grew up basically raised by his mother alone because when he was little his father was always off trying to get his company up and running under the hopes of living out his dream of being a successful businessman. Jishi usually didn't mind because he loved his mother but after an accident, she hadn't been the same. She was had become distant and didn't really want to be around her own son. No one knew why but she'd practically abandoned him while he still lived under the same roof. Jishi was 16 at the time and had a rough time pulling everything onto himself to take care of. He went to college through getting scholarships and so his parents didn't have to worry about paying for him. His father already was racking in a debt only he knew about. He is now in his third year of college.

"Douzokukai Jishi?" the professor called, taking roll call for the day. This was one of the very few classes where the professor actually cared if the student showed up or not. The rest of them just checked quickly and if you weren't there then you weren't there. A student, sitting near the back, raised his hand. He gave a small "Here" and the teacher moved on to the next name.

 

The student that had been called out was a somewhat shorter male with dark brown hair, glasses, and extremely unusual Reddish/amber eyes. They were eyes that stood out due to their strange color that actually stood out against his hair. His eyes looked as if they were flames burning the dark brown hair that fell around them. He had fair, white skin and was pretty pale. He wore some nicer clothes then many but it was still rather casual.

 

Once the finances class was over, Jishi was quick to gather up his things into a bag that had one strap to go diagonally across him to rest on the left shoulder while the bag sat on his right hip. It was the second and last class Jishi had that day so from there, he was alright to go and enjoy the rest of his day of college life. Most of that included working on a mountain of homework. The young adult headed off and grabbed a bite to eat. One of his friends asked if they'd go and drink in his room but Jishi refused saying it wasn't his policy to drink with underage brats. His friends laughed and the one that asked him huffed a little and shoved him slightly telling him that he was only a week away from being of age.

 

Once the invite had been successfully declined, Jishi headed back up to his room and had a quick snack before digging into his homework. He managed to get a huge chunk done in a short amount of time before he headed off to have dinner. He again met up with his friends who said they'd wait the week and it would taste just that much sweeter. What Jishi didn't know was that he wouldn't be staying at school for another week. He was blissfully unaware of what was going to happen.

 

Anyway, the young adult headed off to his friends' room to play some video games for a couple hours before returning to his work. Jishi was the most organized of his family and friends. He basically scheduled every little detail of his life onto a book he used as a script. Every paper and file was also perfectly well organized and he had a great determination to be as neat as possible even after he took over his father's company. Jishi got 90% of his home work done and all or the work he needed within the next week and a half. The only things he had left were a single project for one class and another huge ongoing project for another.

Age: 28

Height: 5'11"

Weight:160 lbs

Hair Color: Black hair

Eye color: Deep blue

Occupation: CEO of Millennium Incorporated

Orientation: Bisexual seme

 

Personality:

-Ambitious, goal-driven, headstrong

-Impatient, persistent

-Brilliant but brash. Disregards orthodox strategies, risk-taking behavior

Background:

 

His paternal grandfather was the Founder and CEO Of Millennium Incorporated. When the time came for him to retire, his son (Kagemori's father) refused to take over the affairs and was adamant on setting up his own company. A feud erupted within the family, resulting in Kagemori's father breaking ties with his family and setting out to start his own company.

 

Kagemori, scorched by his father's betrayal and worried about his ailing grandfather, vows to set things right. As the sole heir, he takes ownership after his grandfather's demise and assumes control as CEO of Millennium Incorporated.

 

---

 

If I want it badly enough, I'll get it.

 

That was Kagemori's first and only virtue in life.

Apart from complete and utter self-indulgence, that is.

 

Thats why he refused to play to the demands of Mashiro Enterprises despite their threat to nullify their age old alliance. Or when the Board of Directors insisted that his strategy was potentially suicidal. Much to their chagrin, he doesn't negotiate. He simply dominates.

 

They found out the hard way with the appointment of Kagemori Hamada as president of Millennium Incorporated. He had taken over the company after his lovable grandfather, but he was anything but lovable. He was brilliant no doubt, but brash. With utter disregard for decorum and tradition, he turned directors' stomachs inside out with his unconventional decisions. He was headstrong, ambitious, crude and in the unspoken words of some employees, a spoilt brat who had to have his way.

 

"That is why, Mr. Douzokukai, I will not compromise. Unlike my grandfather, who you may have known was a great altruist, I am an inconsiderate devil." he finished, his stern expression unchanged by the poor man's face.

 

Mr. Douzokukai lowered his head after the young man's proclamation. He was becoming aware of the futility of negotiation, but still didn't give way. He was a tiny bespectacled man, his shoulders shrinking, his eyes sunken possibly due to debt collectors. Yet, there was the smallest hint of hope, or rather desire. For a man who has wasted his entire life in investing in shit, thought Kagemori, you seem pretty remorseless. Was he still clinging on to his precious company, despite it's certain collapse? How pathetic.

 

"With the amount you owe me, I could seize all your assets, Mr. Douzokukai. All your property will be mine and your family can kiss their asses goodbye. What do you think of that?"

 

Mr. Douzokukai only stared down at his lap, biting his lip. Kagemori huffed impatiently. I don't have time for this shit. If there was one thing that got on his nerves more than wastrels, it was idlers. He got up and began pacing up and down the small room, its walls discolored and dusty. It was startling to find that the owner of this dumpster, if you could call it one, was the same person who owed Millennium Inc. several dollars. I wonder how much the family had to lose because of this asshole.

 

The room had couple of papers and clothes strewn over the table, but otherwise bore no signs of life. There were few cheap furniture lying haphazardly. He stopped to look at the mantelpieces. It hadn't been swept in ages and the family photographs were caked with a layer of dust. He brushed the dust off with the back of his palm and held the photograph closer. It was a handsome bespectacled twenty-something boy with jet black hair and startling red eyes.

 

Dang. Whats a good looking face like yours doing here?

 

There was another picture with a brunette carrying a baby; in another was a dark-haired boy riding a bicycle. There were more pictures of the boy as he grew up. So this must be his son. Another one abandoned by the father , he mused. He turned back to look at the man, still motionless, his gaze fixed on his lap. He felt a prick of anger.

[WolfDog12]

With the schedule saying it was time to grab dinner, that's exactly what the young adult did. He packed up and reorganized his things and grabbed his student ID to head down to the food common. His friends caught him out of his room and joked around at how the clock sounded and it was time for a feeding. Jishi half laughed with his friends and they all decided to go off campus for dinner tonight. It was a rare occasion but it was friday night and they all wanted to get a little alcohol in them. Not one of the students had a car on campus so it was an easy choice for them to take a bus to their favorite bar/restaurant just off campus.

 

Out of the spirit of things, when they got there, Jishi did order some whine but he only did drink one glass. He rarely drank but was actually pretty good at holding his liquor. Jishi had a dish of boneless wings with honey barbecue and he and his friends talked, laughed, and over all had a good time. The young student had to help one of his drunk friends get back to his dorm and almost ended up sleeping over because his friend wouldn't stop clinging to him. It was past midnight before Jishi actually returned to his own dorm room. He took the time to go and shower but he quickly changed and went to bed so he was asleep by just before 1 in the morning.

 

If Jishi had known that, that was the last day he'd ever attend that college or hang out with those friends, he'd have not done his homework and instead gone and hangout with his friends for the whole night. They'd have gone to a party of students who were of age and he'd have drank until he passed out. But since he never knew what was in store tomorrow morning, it was impossible to go back and redo what had been done.

[KamekazePrince]

Kagemori resumed staring intently at the picture of the boy. There was kindness in his face, the kind of forbearance that must have seen him through. Was he naively oblivious to his father's indifference? Or has he forgiven this man despite what he has done? Or rather, for what he's never done for him? I hadn't even known this boy's name, yet I feel a slight admiration for him.

 

His reflections were interrupted by the old man's quivering voice, "I'll do anything… I'll give you anything else. Just, please let me keep this company up." "Fuck you," Kagemori hissed under his breath, "I really really despise your kind". This man was the kind that would sell his wife and kids for money. The kind that would destroy families chasing after vain things. The kind that would break the smiles of the gentle dark-haired boy.

 

Break his smiles…

 

All your property will be mine… His own words rang in his head until he came upon a realization. He froze for a second, in awe of his own brilliance. His lips broke into a wide grin, his eyes gleaming lecherously. The possibilities….

 

"I've decided Mr. Douzokukai," announced Kagemori, now regaining composure and resuming his seat. He crossed his legs and clasped his hands. Mr. Douzokukai looked up bewildered, his eyes reflecting the slight terror that it might be the company that Kagemori is after. He gulped and waited anxiously for him to continue. Kagemori spoke without a trace of hesitation.

 

"I'll have your son."

[WolfDog12]

There wasn't much hesitation from Jishi's father before he agreed wailing out and repeating "Anything, I'll give you anything," over and over again weeping. He was so relieved to have been able to keep the company that he forgot what was suppose to be most important to him. Before he went home that day he called the school and had Jishi pulled from all his classes and before the boy could gather his things the next day or even question what was happening, he was escorted out of the school.

 

His friends grew worried when they didn't find the young adult on his usual routined schedule and rushed to his room thinking he was dying or something. Jishi's things still hadn't been taken but he was no where to be found and that scared everyone until they were later told that Jishi Douzokukai had been kicked out of school under the request of his father. It made no sense to anyone but they never did see their friend again.

 

Jishi was brought directly to Millennium Incorporated and escorted up stairs to Kagemori's office. Someone knocked and announced that the son of Mr. Douzokukai, of Douzokukai company, had arrived. They waited for a response before sending Jishi inside alone. They closed the doors behind him and stood guard.

[KamekazePrince]

That was revoltingly quicker than Kagemori had expected. Looks like the old geezer was more impatient than me. Well, at least there was someone to look forward to now, he consoled himself. By now, his anger against the father had dissipated almost entirely and he only felt excitement. Excitement about his son's arrival. What kind of a boy is he? Will he be a pushover or will I have to coax him? Will he be a fierce lover or an Ice Queen?

 

"Sir Hamada?" "Yes, come in Yamamoto." "Mr. Jishi Douzokukai has arrived." Jishi…so that was his name… "Please escort him here," said Kagemori, straightening his tie and stiffening his collar, now wearing his best poker face, with the slightest hint of a smile. I'll win you over, no matter how you are.

 

The dark-haired boy stood in front of Kagemori, in flesh and blood. At last.

 

Kagemori took one long look at the boy, as though he was mentally stripping him. He is much more attractive in person, he thought. His body was slim and fragile and his slender arms moved gracefully. He had stunning amber eyes, but his expression showed he was a bit lost.

 

"Greetings Mr. Jishi Douzokukai ! Please take your seat. You are our special guest after all. " said Kagemori warmly. The boy simply stared at him with a perplexed expression on his face.

 

"I'd be highly offended if you stood throughout our acquaintance, Douzokukai-san," said Kagemori, " You will be here for a while, so make yourself at home here." The boy at once sunk into the chair, his expression unchanged, his hands clasped between his legs and gaze fixed at the floor.

 

"Do you know why you're here Jishi?"

[WolfDog12]

Jishi stared at the taller male for a while. He looked a lot like a deer in the headlights. The young adult had no idea what was happening, no one told him where he was going or why. When he was told to take a seat, he didn't and just froze there until Mr Hamada continued to say he'd be offended if Jishi didn't sit. The young male shifted over and sat down with his hands between his knees and his eyes down. When he was asked if he knew why he was there, the boy shook his head.

 

Jishi decided to pipe in before Kagemori could say anything else. "You don't have to add the -San at the end... you're probably older then me...." He wasn't trying to be offensive, just pointing it out from the fact that this man was already head of a corporation and Jishi hadn't even graduated yet.

 

"Based on the fact that this is Millennium inc. I'm guessing this has to do with my father?" He questioned. He quickly added, "I knoe he racked in some debt but his business is finally up and running and I promise that when I take over, I will make sure you get every cent back!!" It was almost as if this kid wash brainwashed to know that he had to be desperate, beg for more time to get the debt paid.

 

The boy's hands were no longer between his legs but rather on the sides of the chair now gripping till his fingers were white. Jishi looked as if he were going to jump out of the chair to beg for the time, the difference between him and his father was, Jishi had fire in his eyes and wouldn't beg with a weak, mouse voice but a stronger more demanding one.

[KamekazePrince]

Ah! A feisty one… Now I get it…

 

Kagemori was taken aback by the boy's quick words. It seemed he had underestimated the boy's resolve. Behind this graceful deer was a determined one, waiting to spring up from his seat. Kagemori greedily peered into the boy's eyes, now full of spirit. A spirit worth owning.

 

"You are right, Jishi. That is why you are here," Kagemori spoke softly, wondering how to spill the beans to the boy of his father's betrayal and appointment as his secretary, "But I won't wait until you've graduated."

 

He admired that kind of confidence that made Jishi say he'd repay his fathers' debts. But was it due to his blind love? Or just the brashness of youth? The difference between his speech and his father's was startling, but nonetheless, begging was begging. Kagemori couldn't wait. He was growing impatient. Finally he decided to quit the courting and directly approach Jishi. He leaned forward towards Jishi and began.

 

"Your father has agreed to have you working for me, in exchange for complete clearance of all dues," he announced, "Starting from today, you will be working as my personal secretary in Millennium Inc."

 

He finished triumphantly. He eagerly searched the boy's eyes for any trace of emotion. Did he feel betrayed? Used? Oblivious? Determined? There was so much he needed to know.

 

"You are mine now."

[WolfDog12]

At first, he was extremely confused. His eyes drifted to the ground and instantly, Jishi began playing out the conversation in his head. He assumed his father had to make a tough choice but also knew how much the company meant as well as how much his family needed that company to stay up and running. If Jishi could have traded himself to make that much debt dissappear, he would have done the same thing.

 

The male quickly calmed down and he looked straight into Kagemori's eyes before saying, "fine, I'll be your secretary." His determination didn't faulted and actually, the young adult stood up so he was face to face with the other. Jishi looked as if he were challenging this big wig to something.

 

"I will show you my father made a good choice." Challenge set.

[KamekazePrince]

It was a declaration that nearly disrupted Kagemori's poker face.

The declaration of war.

 

Kagemori was insanely aroused by his determination. The resistance in his speech was both vexing and tantalizing. At that moment, he desired nothing more than to pin down Jishi against the wall and strip him. To make love to him until he passed out with pleasure. To experience the thrill of having him surrender.

 

However he held back. The boy demonstrated such faith in his father, it was almost sickening. What was so good about that wastrel that made Jishi love him? That he rushed to his defense? Kagemori was almost envious.

 

Fine, I'll teach you the proper way to love.

 

Kagemori lunged forward and grabbed Jishie's wrist, pulling him towards himself. He wrapped his arm tightly around his waist and with his other hand held Jishi's chin, his thumb grazing over his lips.

 

"I don't think you understand your exact situation, Jishi. He didn't just send you to work here. He sold you to me. You now belong to me, understand? "

[WolfDog12]

Jishi hadn't expected the sudden lunge forward and had no time to react before the pull on his waist tugged him even closer to Kagemori. The position was strange, his wrist was being held tight and the hand on his chin was definitely not right. Shit, this really isn't good. Jishi thought to himself as Kagemori's thumb caressed his lips. He now was understanding his situation and was in no way thrilled to be in it.

 

Wait, if I've been completely sold off and not just sent to work here, then where the hell am I going to live now? I can't exactly return home. Somehow, he managed to have enough time to think about this while he was still being held. a cord snapped in Jishi and he suddenly shoved the other man off him by punching him in the gut with his free hand.

 

"I may have been sold off to you, but, that was so I could work as your secretary, not your personal fuck toy." He had a vicious glare and stood several steps back to increase the distance between the two.

[KamekazePrince]

The look in Jishi's eyes stirred something deep in Kagemori. Both irked and mesmerized by his initial rebuff, his poker face was now disrupted by a lopsided grin, the boy's determination only fueling his passion. Why do you test my patience?

 

By now he'd come to anticipate Jishi's resistance. He allowed himself to be shoved backwards, as the deer frantically broke off the predator's grip. Little did the deer know he was going to live in the predator's cave.

 

"That's no way to behave to your housemate is it?" said Kagemori, unfazed. On seeing Jishi's expression he added, "Thats right. You're going to live in my place. So let's get along shall we?"

 

He finished with a satisfied smirk on his face. He straightened his tie and tugged his sleeve. Temporarily set back but unruffled, he steadied himself for round number two, hungrily awaiting the boy's response. Will he surrender? Or continue to fight back?

 

One way or the other, I will have you.

[WolfDog12]

Jishi was quickly broken out of his focus on where he'd live when his new accommodations seemed to be already taken care of. He looked back with a nervous and pained expression but it turned to him being accepting and yet still upset by it. "I don't really have a choice in the matter do I?" It really was a rhetorical question because just then he grit his teeth and clenched his fists for a moment before releasing.

 

The whole time, Jishi kept his eyes towards the floor and off to the side. Before he relaxed, he clicked his tongue then gave in a little. After a moment of frustration, Jishi's fiery eyes returned and set themselves right on Kagemori. "Don't think I won't continue hitting you if you try anything weird again." He huffed and showed off his inner strength again. The young man wasn't going to give in that easily.

 

He was pretty much stuck just hanging around the office for the rest of the day. It sucked because no one was ready for Jishi this early so he really had nothing to do. For the most part he was left to just sit around in Kagemori's office while he did his work. Every now and then, like some underpaid intern, he went out and got his new boss some coffee. He was stuck with his own thoughts all day about how his life changed and what was going to happen to him from here.

[KamekazePrince]

That's the spirit, Jishi.

 

Kagemori flushed with delight. He had broken down Jishi's first shell of invulnerability. It will only be a matter of time, he thought, before I teach him the ways of love and he succumbs to me. He would have continued prodding him had he not noticed the boy's forlorn look.

 

He was a little disheartened. There was a slight hint of melancholy. In that rush of passion, Kagemori had almost forgotten the sudden turn of events in the boy's life and how much he had to endure. Faced with his father's betrayal, the sudden withdrawal from his friends and the potentially miserable life of a fuck-toy, the boy displayed a lot more forbearance than Kagemori could ever possess.

 

He didn't ask too much of the boy for the rest of the day. Afterwards, they quietly descended the stairs towards the Mercedes Benz car awaiting them. They got into the car and it began moving. For a while, there was no sound except the slight whirring of the wheels and the occasional cars that went by.

 

"Things going too fast for you?" Kagemori asked, in an oddly tender manner. He corrected himself at once, "I'm an impatient man you know."

[WolfDog12]

Ya, I get it… and yes, a lot's happened and I'm still trying to wrap my brain around it all." Jishi was being honest but he also looked like he was ignoring Kagemori. He was looking out the window of the car still off in his own world, only being dragged back for a moment so he could respond to any question asked of him.

 

Before the other could say anything else, Jishi turned to look at Kagemori with those unnatural eyes. "What's your house like? Why did you ask my dad to make such a tough decision? And, why me? Weren't there plenty of other people you could have picked? My dad's secretary is very capable." Jishi really didn't even give Kagemori a second to breathe before the questions came out rapid fire. These where the questions he couldn't ask on his own and each one got a little deeper for the young man.

 

He stared straight at Kagemori and wasn't about to look away until his questions were answered. Jishi could be extremely persistent and overbearing when he wanted to be, no doubt about that. He had a strength the was practically inhuman but he also knew nothing of just how quickly his father had made the choice and called to get him out of school.

[KamekazePrince]

Kagemori simply stared straight ahead, in two minds whether to reply or not, although, he could feel Jishi's amber eyes glaring fixedly upon him, nearly boring a hole through his head. The boy's persistence rivaled his own.

 

I can't exactly tell him I felt sorry for him, can I? That I too have experienced betrayal. That I want to hold him tight and keep him with me forever? Such romantic mush would surely subtract from Kagemori's suave playboy image. There must be some other way to let him know. Slowly, but surely. 'Let me test your patience', he thought, chuckling internally.

 

"Do you want the truth, Jishi?" spoke Kagemori softly. They had now arrived at his place. It was a vast estate, with woods stretching for minutes and minutes by car. The circled a gigantic fountain, with the sculpture of a man and woman in passionate embrace and finally stopped in front of a colossal mansion. It was a large stone building, rising magnificently for over four floors and overlooking the natural wilderness. It looked like it came right out of an 1800s romance novel, warm and inviting, a stark contrast to the sleek, modern and professional Millennium Inc.

 

They got out of the car and ascended the steps to the front door. It was engraved in solid teakwood. Kagemori dismissed his men and waited until they were out of sight until he spoke again "Do you really want to know the truth Jishi? Even if it breaks you?"

[WolfDog12]

"Of course I want to know!" Jishi quickly got pissed when Kagemori avoided answering. 'What is with this guy?! Come on and just answer my questions!!' He thought viciously. He watched the other get out of the car and quickly followed him to get out on the same side. Only when he was out of the car and facing the house did he notice the enormous building.

 

Jishi ended up freezing in the driveway taken aback by the view. He couldn't believe just how amazing this building was. He had to remember what he was just doing before to focus on Kagemori again. 'I don't think I'll ever get use to this place… I went from living in a small apartment to a small college dorm room and now this… What is with this guy?! I didn't know Millennium Inc. was this…. BIG...' Jishi hurried up behind the other still completely in awe by just the outside of the building.

 

Kagemori's second question really threw Jishi for a loop. 'Break me? What does he mean by that? I didn't ask anything too strange did I?' He began to question. "At least tell me why you picked me, and yes, I want the truth." It wasn't as important if he knew his father's choice because he thought it was a hard choice and figured he held out as many days as he could to keep Jishi from this man.

[KamekazePrince]

Kagemori really didn't give Jishi any time to process the grandeur of his residence or the tenderness of his words before he spoke,"The truth Jishi, is that I saw something in your family photographs," Kagemori murmured, his voice dropping to a barely audible whisper. He moved closer to Jishi and placed his hand on Jishi's shoulder. "Something that stirred me." Jishi couldn't make out his expression clearly with the fading light but he could feel his uneven breath condense on his own cheeks.

 

"The truth…" Kagemori gulped. Then he took a deep breath in and answered.

 

"Your ass was so attractive in the photo, I just had to do unmentionable stuff with you."

 

He nearly laughed at his own words and playfully pulled Jishi, crossing his hands over the boy's shoulders. Leaning over, he reached downwards with his right hand and softly fondled the boy's bottom. Right at the front door.

 

"I really do like you."

[WolfDog12]

Jishi could feel himself tensing up. He wanted to know more and more, the anitisapation was killing him to the point he didn't even notice how close Kagemori was getting or his hand touching Jishi's shoulder. As soon as Kagemori told Jishi that it was because he had a nice butt, he froze in shock. When he felt the other touching his butt, the young adult got overly pissed.

 

He drew his knee up so quickly, there was no time for anyone to respond. Jishi's knee drove straight up into Kagemori's crotch and Jishi stared down at him with a death glare. "Don't touch me." He demanded before forcing himself through the other and into the house. Jishi looked like he wanted to hit something and he just wandered off trying to find his room. He wondered if any of his things hadshown up because Jishi never did get the time to pack his bags and move his things.

 

Eventually, he found himself lost on the second floor. Jishi continued to wander around but had no idea where he was. "Hello?! Is anyone around?!.... Shit I'm completely lost!!!" After a while, Jishi basically gave up and just sat on the floor with his back against the wall.

[KamekazePrince]

"F**KiNg CHrist.." he cursed under his breath, fuming, his knees buckling. His head was spinning as the pain shot through his body. He staggered for a few minutes, trying to hold himself up with his arms. What a prude. He cussed again and slowly wobbled up to his feet, brushing the dirt off his knees and straightening his coat. This guy really needs to loosen up. Kagemori was evidently puzzled by Jishi's reaction.

 

Irked and confused, he stepped inside. There was a massive commotion. Some of the security guards were dashing upstairs, while one was rushing towards him. "Sir! Sir! A boy just sprinted through the front door up the grand staircase." the man gushed, gasping for breath before continuing, "He's been running about for quite sometime and we've located him now through the CCTV camera on the second floor next to the north-west bedroom."

 

"Relax gentlemen, the boy is my guest," replied Kagemori calmly, now regaining his composure and resuming charge. "Call your men off. I'll go and pacify our guest. Oh, and ask Jeeves to bring some water." The other men scrambled to their feet. Kagemori ascended the stairs, closely followed by the butler, now carrying a jug of water and two glasses. Kagemori was still baffled by the boy's dramatic reaction. I just confessed to him, didn't I? Why would a person attack their confessor?

 

He pondered this as he ascended the steps. No, I wasn't persistent enough, he thought. The male has to display his entire passion during courting. His grandfather's words rang through his ears, 'If you want it badly enough, you'll get it." If I love you badly enough, you'll love me too right?

 

For some reason, his grandfather's words didn't sound as powerful as they did back then.

Sigh... I just hope he hasn't broken the antiques in revenge.

 

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught Jishi curled up with his back against the wall. He looked lost and despairing. He approached him slowly. Now in front of him, he extended his hand forward towards the boy. "Can you get up?"

 

He indicated to the waiter, who at once poured a glass of water and placed it beside the boy. "Here, have some water," Kagemori spoke softly. On seeing Jishi's expression, he added, "It's not drugged or anything, you know." He was slightly irked by the boy's colossal distrust. For him to picture Kagemori as a monster, he felt a little defeated and dejected. But he still wore his brightest smile, his hand still extended.

Maybe I over reacted. No, wait! Didn't anyone tell that guy that I was straight?! Why'd he go and do that?! I don't understand!! First off I don't even know how guys do it… Wait!! Why would I even care about that?! God I hate that guy!!!! After a long while of screwing up his own mind, Jishi shoved the thoughts from his head and tried to focus on the fact that he was completely lost.

 

A kind of depression took over and Jishi as he just waited to be rescued. There was nothing else he could do. The male closed his eyes and listened to the commotion in the house. It was quiet and soon enough, silent. Jishi began wondering if people gave up looking for him but just as the male was about to give up on everything, one person stood in front of him with another just to the side. He looked up to face Kagemori and his butler.

 

As the hand extended and the water was placed, he actually looked up in disbelief of Kagemori trying to be kind more so then thinking anything of the water. When he said it wasn't drugged, Jishi took the glass in one hand and held onto Kagemori's with the other. He hoisted himself off the ground and drank the water, all of it in one go in fact.

 

"Sorry for the trouble," he mumbled quietly as he handed the glass back to the butler. "I'm not use to people grabbing my butt like a girl… I'm straight so having a guy say and do those things aren't something I'm use to. This doesn't mean I'm accepting what you did but…. just saying…" At this point it was getting harder for him to explain. He was just trying to justify what he had done but now it was sounding like it was ok to touch him so long as it didn't take him by surprise or something… Jishi couldn't even figure out his own words.

 

What am I even doing? This doesn't make sense… It sounds like I just gave him permission now that I know what he's doing… Come on, get your head on straight. Jishi was practically yelling at himself in his own mind but he only looked a little more saddened on his face. None of his reactions were helping his case on how NOT to be touched.

[KamekazePrince]

Kagemori breathed a sigh of relief when Jishi drank the water. He had the slightest fear he'd wind up in the hospital with glass pieces in his brain.

 

"Sorry for the trouble," Jishi mumbled.

Trouble? Hell yeah, you just kicked me in the groin. Well…Apology accepted. That was what he thought, but he simply grinned as Jishi gushed,

"..I'm straight.."

Well, that can be fixed.

"..those things aren't something I'm use to.."

Oh a virgin, how cute.

"..not used to people grabbing my butt.."

Don't worry, you soon will be. He was finally beginning to understand what Jishi was. 'A tsundere', he concluded in his head victoriously.

 

All this while, Kagemori was wearing his unfaltering grin. When Jishi finished, Kagemori quickly reassured him saying no trouble was caused. He figured Jishi was tired and confused, so it would be best to leave him to his own thoughts.

 

"Mr. Jeeves here will help you with all you need," he said indicating to the butler beside him. He turned to the butler and spoke, "Jeeves, please take proper care of Mr. Jishi Douzokukai. He is our special guest and will be here for a while." He turned back to Jishi and spoke, "You will be staying in the south-east bedroom. It has a magnificent view of the woods and the swimming pool. The sunrise is spectacular there." The trio marched up the stairs to the third floor. They reached the bedroom.

 

Kagemori was still holding Jishi's hand. "If you ever need me," he said pointing along the corridor, "I'll be in that room on the far right. It was planned for you to stay in this room, but..." He paused and turned to face Jishi. He bowed down abruptly and kissed the back of Jishi's hand with a smouldering look. "You're free to visit mine any time," he winked and swiftly turned his back on the boy and the butler and left.

[WolfDog12]

Jishi nodded towards the butler trying to give a slight bow. He then turned his attention back to Kagemori as they began to head even farther up stairs. He was growing so tired from the stressful day that Jishi didn't even notice that the two were still holding hands all the way up to the room. Looks like his guess of being on the second floor was all wrong; seems like bedrooms are on the third.

 

After reaching the room, Kagemori said that this was his room and gave the explanation on where his own room was just down the hall. When he'd bent down and kiss the younger male's hand, Jishi yanked his hand up and pulled it back behind him with his eyes widened. "Thanks!" He said quite loudly before Kagemori left. For some reason, the younger boy thought it only proper to thank him for the room despite it really being necessary since he was forced to live here anyway from being sold off.

 

Jishi looked back into the room but none of his things were there. He sighed with a heavy heart and glanced over at the butler. "Are there any clothes I can wear so I can go to bed?" Mr. Jeeves helped Jishi get some Pajamas to wear and with that being all the other needed, he left the room. The dark brunette changed as quickly as he could as if expecting Kagemori to just wander in but he didn't, thankfully.

 

The young adult laid on the bed and just tried to think. The more he thought of it, the more he couldn't understand why his father made the choice. Wasn't I suppose to take over the company soon? I know I still had a few years and everything but what is my father going to do now? He'll probably continue running it but… Will he ever try to get me back? It seemed, the more Jishi thought about it, the more questions he had popping up into his head.

 

Somewhere, well past midnight, Jishi ended up falling asleep. He'd already taken off his glasses but wasn't yet under the covers. He wasn't even sure when he'd fallen asleep but he did. Jishi had a nightmare that night of a conversation he'd have with his dad. He wanted to know why he father would sell him and, like every kid feared, he was abandoned and his father laughed saying he and Jishi's mother could now live the high life because the business was bringing in some good money and there was no more enormous debt on them. Jishi woke that morning screaming.

"Are you feeling well?" asked Kagemori as they quietly ate breakfast. The dining hall, just like everything else in this house was colossal, lined with several antiques and heirlooms. The breakfast too was extravagantly arranged, a beautiful platter of pancakes, fruits, eggs, souffles, croissants and waffles. For a person so overwhelmed with the turn of events in his life, thought Kagemori, this would have have hardly helped ease his speechlessness. His confused "Thank you!" still rang pleasantly in Kagemori's ears.

 

"It seems you had a disturbed night. My guards informed me." Kagemori continued, in a matter-of-fact manner, "Take the day off and rest here. I will arrange for a tour of the house. You can resume work tomorrow." He spoke quickly, as though it was an order, giving no room for Jishi to differ. He know that a tour would be the last thing on Jishi's mind, yet there were so many things about himself that he wanted to share.

 

Perhaps if I let you in on my history, you will begin to understand my love for you. Maybe then, you will allow me to heal you.

 

They finished their meal quietly and Kagemori got ready to leave. "Your luggage will be arriving here today. I also had some clothes bought for you, prior to your arrival, so you can use them for now."

 

He halted at the doorway, looked back at Jishi, walked towards him and paused. "I know you are puzzled, Jishi," he spoke softly, in manner no one but Jishi could hear, "You want answers. But you're not ready for it yet," he lovingly caressed the boy's head, his fingers running through his jet black hair, slowly and carefully, so as to not betray any sexual vibes. "Just give it more time. You'll understand someday. Slowly, but surely."

 

Saying this, he gently kissed Jishi's forehead. He swiftly turned and left for the car, leaving Jishi and the butler in the hallway, the silence only to be interrupted by the butler's deep baritone, "I have prepared the bath for you, Master Douzokukai. The tour can be arranged immediately afterwards."

[WolfDog12]

Jishi was doing more staring down at the food then actually eating it. He really didn't seem to have an appetite after everything that happened. He ate only two or three bites of pancake and about 4 pieces of fruit. He stared down, eyes sad. The young adult couldn't seem to pull his mind from his dream the night before. What if that's actually what happened? Did my dad even actually care?

 

"Are you feeling well?" Kagemori's question seemed to roll right over the smaller male. He didn't respond as he still seemed really spaced out. Eventually he looked up when the other mentioned hearing he'd had a rough night. Jishi wanted to say he'd be fine but he couldn't say anything with Kagemori continuing to speak. He wanted to protest but something about the way it was said just made the other stay speechless and he closed his mouth looking down.

 

The male quietly stood in the hallway like a wife saying 'goodbye' and 'have fun at work', to her husband. The difference now was that Jishi wasn't saying anything and he still had his head down. He gave a slight wave but by then Kagemori had already walked back over to him and began whispering into his ear. The male could hardly believe what he was hearing and he realized it must be because of how miserable he looked from the nightmare. He was so frozen up like a deer in the headlights, he didn't even notice the kiss on his forehead.

 

The male opened his mouth to say something but the door shut behind the head of the house and it just left a wave of silence. The young man was able to focus back on Jeeves as he began to speak and he nodded and followed the butler to the bathroom. The maids had even gone out of there way to get his clothes, he realized it would take a long time to get use to this kind of treatment.

 

After taking his bath ALONE, Jishi headed out, dressed, and ready to go. He took the tour but denied lunch. Even by noon his appetite had not returned and the male didn't want everyone to waste their time and effort on someone who wouldn't eat anyway.
