Black Rabbit (Shisu-Chan x WolfDog)

[WolfDog12]

 

Name: Usagi Kuro (Black rabbit)

 

Age: 18 (or so since doesn't know his actual birthday)

 

Gender: Male

 

Hair color: Dark purple (looks black unless seen in sunlight)

 

Eye color: Gold

 

Background: Sold at a young age to a brothel of sorts but other than that, Unknown

 

Personality: Usagi has long forgotten his real name and doesn't even care anymore about anything. Even if his customers get out of hand and hurt him, he doesn't mind at all and just lets thing happen to him. It is almost like feeling hurt is his only way to actually feel alive. Tends to seem gloomy or quiet but can turn on the charm right away and put on a fake smile to draw customers in and give them the best sex they have had. It is why he's so popular.

 

Quote: "I just don't see the point in taking it all so seriously. It's not like I really care that much about what happens to me... I only care about as much as everyone else around here does."

Usagi woke to the brightness of the sunlight reflecting off the table several feet away. That last customer the night before was a real stickler for wanting to see the sky when they did it and ended up leaving the curtains drawn back when he left the popular escort in the room. It was noon but Usagi should have been able to sleep until about normal people's dinner time. He hated waking "In the middle of the night" for something as stupid as this. The customer had taken him from behind and had him pressed against the window so they could look out together.... how sappy.

 

The black rabbit pulled up the hood of his sweatshirt that managed to stay on and tucked himself farther under the blankets trying to hide from the dreaded bright rays. He groaned again before finally getting comfortable enough to fall asleep again even though it was only for about 2 hours.

 

When he woke again, the sun was once again in a new and annoying position reflecting the light right into his face instead of on his legs like it was before. Usagi got off the bed and closed the shades and blocked the curtains. Instant darkness. The male then walked over and gathered his things in the dark with such minimal light. Once everything was together, Usagi left his room and took a shower. He rubbed his hips a bit and tapped at his sore lower back. The men last night really went at him hard with little experience under their belts.

 

Usagi showered quickly and hopped out getting dressed for the customers tonight. Even if that was a few hours away, he could get dressed since he wasn't a girl in some fancy dress. Usagi wore his signature black sweatshirt with the rabbit ears. Other then that, it was mostly just a pair of comfy pants that could come off easily enough and whatever else he felt like putting on. Of course, another signature was on his fluffy, realistic rabbit ears and that was a strange earring that he took off only when getting his sweatshirt washed.

 

After some time, wandering around and going to the bakery a few blocks down still in the red light district, it was time to get ready for customers. Of course, Usagi had to make sure he stretched out and had to organize his list for the night. What was strange was, he only had one name for tonight.... Who was this guy to bother booking Usagi for the entire night? Not to mention it wasn't even a name he could put a face to... Another new person? That seemed to happen a lot but to book him for a night? They would normally be regulars if they were going to go that far...

Name: Eiji Aoyama

 

Age: 26

 

Gender: Male

 

Hair color: Black

 

Eye color: Dark brown

 

 

Background: He grew up in the slums and saw first hand the horrors of crime. He decided to make it his life’s work to put a stop to it. He busted from his old ways and went to college finding out that criminal law was relatively easy to him. He got himself a degree and quickly went up the ranks at the police station to detective. He is fighting the corruption within his city undercover.

 

Personality: He is usually quiet. Thanks to being undercover most of the times he keeps his emotions locked away and his real self even further locked away. He keeps himself detached from his work knowing that if he lets himself get too attached he could easily let emotions run his work. He deals with a lot of scarring stuff and likes to think he has a good state of mind but he doesn’t. He is unstable sometimes and its noticeable when he has free time where he often finds himself in the bar. He is hot tempered when he finally does let himself feel and he likes to think he can protect everyone around him.

Eiji stepped on the cigarette still burning on the ground. He pulled the jacket closer to his body as the chilly evening air slipped under his suit. He was always dressed to impress and often found himself feeling stuffy in his suit in tie. It came with the job so even when he goes undercover he keeps his look of class. In this case his mission requires a look of money and elegance so he doesn’t mind too much. Eiji lets out a gentle sigh as his eyes roam to the bright red sign above the male brothel his team has been surveying for months. Usually he would let another detective work this case but there was something in the back of his mind telling him that this owner liked to play dirty not only with his clients but with his employees as well.

 

The red light district was somewhere Eiji stayed away from. He was never too keen on the dirty, stuffy streets lined with drunken men too messed up to even get home. Often times they didn’t even know they were being hassled until it was morning and their wives were wondering where they were. After growing up in a rough neighborhood a lot like this he preferred to stay clear of it. Not wanting to relive the days where he would do anything for food and money to keep his mother and little sister with full bellies.

 

He pulled the large doors open and was quickly greeted with the smell of liquor and lust. It was on everyone’s lips as they drank waiting for their call to head back in the back rooms. The hosts were simply lounging around with men fawning over them. Some quickly glanced to him, he assumed this was because he was new. It wouldn’t shock him if some came at him wanting an audience for the night realizing his cool demeanor and looks meant he had money. None of these men bothered him, he was here for the prized possession of this brothel. If you were going to attack the head of the dragon might as well start with its most prized possession. Eiji wound his way through the groups of people heading to the check in desk. He quickly let the boss know he was here under an alias of Akito Fujimata. Of course he would never give his real name under working conditions. He was told to wait patiently on one of the sofas and that the hosts around would keep him occupied while the “black rabbit” prepared for his arrival.

 

He didn't know what to expect from his first visit and he sure as hell didn't know if this "black rabbit" would help him. He needed a man on the inside and this was his only shot, if this didn't work his department would be exposed and back to stage one on this mission. He hoped he wouldn't have to sleep with the boy, realizing he was only 18 and just barely of age to even be working in this job. It wasn't that he didn't like men it was more over that he had morals and found that sleeping with a child was against one of them. He just wished everything would go smoothly and he would help without needing something from Eiji.

[WolfDog12]

Usagi was sick of the new rule of having to go down and fetch the customer. It had only been in place for a few weeks now in a way to get the guests interested in some of the other men that would entertain them while they waited for the customer to be swept upstairs or for them to take one of the hosts upstairs instead. Sometimes that brought in more money than just expecting people to just walk in with some kind of appointment like it was some doctor's office. Now it had a more open feel... It also helped that there were so many new hosts to keep customer's pants down and wallets out.

 

Still, all that just meant that Usagi had more work heading down and trying to find his customer in a sea of other customers. That didn't even begin to cover the fact that he was basically an idol in this place so it was impossible not to be recognized and have people fawning over him. So many times people have grabbed his ass without even paying for it. For someone of his popularity, every touch to him, big or small had a price tag on it.

 

Usagi left his room and pulled the hood up on his sweatshirt to show off who he was. After all, it was a signature... Actually, it was originally an accident as he forgot he was to take on a customer and walked out wearing it and the man thought it was adorable before taking the small male off to bed. Since then, he was called black rabbit and nothing mattered since. Not even his own real name.

 

The rabbit headed down and scanned the room. There were a few new people but mostly regulars. So that ruled out a majority.... now he had to just figure it out from the handful left. Usagi profiled people with expert skills before suddenly honing in on one particular male who was probably distracted by the ass being wiggled in his face. Stepping up, the small hooded male put on a smile and asked, "Are you perhaps, Fujimata-San?" He asked leaning in a bit. He was right. That always felt good.

 

Usagi reached out a hand showing the sleeve missing from that side of his hoodie and offered it to Fujimata. "May I take you someplace a little more private so we might enjoy the night?" He played. The black rabbit was surprisingly small and almost seemed younger but his features and face said he was old enough to be here taking customers. It was almost scary to think of the things his small frame could and had taken so far. Despite his looks though, Usagi was very sturdy and could take a hell of a beating and keep on kicking.

[Shisu-Chan00]

Eiji sighed gently and took a spot on a red sofa. He was quickly occupied by not one but two of the hosts that were roaming about. His body language said that he really didn’t give a shit about either of them but he had to pretend that he did. One quickly found his way onto his lap and Eiji had to pretend it was turning him on. In all reality the men made him sick, they weren’t even his type. Now that he thought about it did he really have a type? His brain was millions of miles away and it sure wasn’t on the asses that were grinding against his lower body.

 

His body moved and pushed the small figure from his lap and he quickly stood. “I need a drink.” He found his way to the bar and asked for something strong and quickly downed it. Once more he found himself being fawned over by a rather slim male dressed as if he was ready to be in a circus. Eiji let out a gentle chuckle that didn’t get him brownie points with the host who quickly left him alone. It wasn’t long before he found himself once more planted on a couch and being “entertained” by the men around him.

 

It wasn’t until a rather soft voice spoke his name did he look up from the sad excuse for a lap dance. His eyes quickly focused on the rabbit ears and he let a smile ring. One that would flatten women if that were what he was into. He stood and took the others hand, “Gladly, I was beginning to think I was being stuck with other entertainment for the night.” He said playfully as he let go of the other and righted his suit. He had been here before and his mind didn’t think twice as he was guided to the back rooms. The boy he had come into contact with showed a sense of maturity that not even Eiji thought he possessed. It didn’t shock him that the slim figure was older even if he was youthful on the outside. He let him lead slightly and it wasn’t wrong of him to slightly check the boy out. He was happy with what he saw and realized that he probably wouldn’t mind sleeping with him if information came with a price. It was better than money after all, he was paying for the entire night with the most expensive escort here.

 

When they finally made it to the backroom he quickly removed his jacket. “I’m glad I was able to see you. You’re very very booked. Like…for the rest of the month booked.” He said setting his jacket down on the coat hanger and loosening his tie. He ran a hand through his hair and made himself comfortable. He had no intention of sleeping with this boy but if it came down to it would he really fight it? He didn’t think so. Not in the slightest, specially if this kid had a few seductive tricks up his sleeve.

[WolfDog12]

Usagi lead the man by the hand until they reached the top of the open stairs and then released it to lead him down the hall to the right, all the way at the end where his room was the last on the right. It had been his room since he first came here and refused to move any closer to the front door. Most of the popular hosts were on the first floor where the rooms were a bit bigger but no one seemed to complain about the distance. In fact, since no host used the room directly next to him, it truly was the most private room in the whole building.

 

"Were you not a fan of our entertainment? They are there just to get you in the mood," Usagi said as they walked the upstairs hall. He didn't like competing to be heard so he opted to wait until they were at least on the second floor before he finally responded to the customer's comment. They slipped into his room where there was a gentle smell of something soft but it wasn't strong and it would almost smell familiar but hard to put a name to it. The room was also lit in a gentle glow that was slightly pink and gave a warm feeling. This wasn't the suffocating, perfume filled room that was other hosts' rooms or other brothels. In fact, this feeling gave people a more welcome feeling so they could do it without stressing about where they really were.

 

As soon as the door was closed, Usagi turned to the other in a gentle twirl that was rather graceful for his almost delinquent look. Heck, he was the only one in the building that showed little skin so it was almost hard to see what people loved about him but that mystery was his greatest strength until they got to know the pleasures of his body. "Haha, Of course. So is that why you booked me? Because you were so curious?" As he said this, his tone grew more enticing, drawing the other closer. Usagi stared into the eyes of the man gently as his hands touched Fujimata's hips and his thumbs dragged across the nervs in the groin area without actually touching the man's cock. For anyone who'd never felt this before, would feel a strange shiver that went throughout the body, leaving a tingling feeling in the crotch.

 

As soon as he saw a reaction, Usagi stepped back playfully and slipped one hand under the bottom of the hoodie as if he were going to take off his pants but the hand came back out and he raised them with a playful look to show he'd leave the fun part of exposing the mystery to the customer. Usually by now the customer would lose all sense of control and tackle Usagi to the bed to expose his body and take him for their own. Though, they did have all night but if this customer got too tired to fill the night, Usagi would get the night to himself where he could just chill and hang around which he'd much rather do than be fucked.

[Shisu-Chan00]

Eiji found his new companion a little strange. His hands were small and soft as he led him up the stairs and it wasn't until they were down the hall and close to his room that Eiji even heard the boys voice. It was very nice and it wasn't too fake compared to the other men downstairs. When they finally got to the room his eyes adjusted and peered around. Seemed private enough, "No I didn't like the entertainment. They aren't really my type if you get what I mean?" he said gently catching a soft hint of homey feeling. As if it was a smell in his own apartment but he couldn't quite put a name to this aroma. He turned to speak to his companion but was greeted by an almost seducing look.

 

This shocked him, he hadn't expected such a young man to come off as so mature and know exactly what he wanted. It was even more of a shock to fell hands roam over his hips and lightly caress his groin. He clicked his tongue gently at the feeling not minding it but trying to remind himself that he wasn't here for the pleasure of another man. His eyes watched the younger male tease him into thinking he would remove his clothing and then realizing he wouldn't Eiji did have a sense of wanting to see what was under that hoodie. He refrained and smiled gently, "Does that get all the customers fiesty? I bet it does." he walked further into the room peering around and he let out a disgusted sigh. "Do you live here too? Or does he at least give you somewhere else to lay your head for the night?" his eyes were quickly getting a sense for the room and for easy ways to get in and out without being seen. He rested his hands on his hips causing the muscles in his back to cinch up and press against the material of his shirt. He was never too careful with his appearance, he never understood why others found him attractive. I guess one could call it low self-esteem? Wasn't really sure what to call it so he tried not to pay attention to it. "Mind if I smoke in here?" he asked turning to look back at his companion for the night.

 

The brothel was cleaner than most and it was odd to him that this room wasn't brighter, stuffier, and dirtier. It looked as if the Black Rabbit really took care of his room and his customers. If it was up to Eiji he would hire an escort and take them somewhere else instead of sleeping where many many other men had shot their load. He found this particular room homey even though it was unknown how many men had taken this small man anywhere in this room. It wouldn't shock him if men had odd fetishes to want to fuck this small figure against the wall or on a table or even in the hallway. He figured if he was paying this much he should be able to do whatever he wanted, whenver he wanted, and for how long because this kid was a small fortune to have for the night. He just hoped it wouldn't be a waste of his time.

[WolfDog12]

Usagi's eyes narrowed slightly at the clear lack of reaction towards his moves. That was his best trick and this guy brushed it off as if he were here with purpose. He could be trying to savor the night or.... "Are you a cop or something?" Usagi asked, propping himself on the bed. The lust had left his eyes and he seemed less interested. "If you're undercover it would have been much easier to pick one of the other men. Your type or not, you'd have looked for some feature you liked in each of them, not to mention I can tell you're doing more than just admiring my room, you're seeking exits. Your eyes lingered a second more on the door and the window. Those are the only two ways, that door near the bed is a normal closet." He pointed with his thumb before continuing.

 

"Yes I live here and your casual mention of the owner gave away you were seeking information about him. Look, I was taken in when I was an infant so I learned how to do my job and what works by watching others. The fact that you didn't react to my greatest move indicates some level of training and restraint. Something the men willing to come here clearly don't have," He stated flatly. "So, if you don't want to do it with me fine, I'll just get some more sleep. My last customer last night left the freaking shade open and I get a ton of sunlight due to the building next door being so short." Usagi pushed himself up the bed with his feet and flopped to his side.

 

"I don't like the smell but I can't tell you not to smoke in here so if you're going to do it then just do it by the window. It doesn't open easily but if you jiggle it a little it will open." Usagi didn't seem to care if the man was a cop; If he didn't want to do it then yay. Usagi was known for his observation skills. He really grew up learning every little thing about people by watching every movement they made and the red light district had no shortage of characters to observe. Heck, Usagi had even learned to memorize people by the smallest of beauty marks. It was a strange technique to have but it helped him get by and this guy just screamed he was looking for something and it wasn't sex.

[Shisu-Chan00]

Eiji chuckled gently and peered toward his companion. "Even if I was here for sex that move wouldn't have worked on me. I find you attractive, yes but you'll have to work harder than that to get me into bed with you. Not all customers can be so easy right?" he moved to the bed and sat down leaning on his hands. He let out a sigh, "I'm not surprised you could see through me, though I do need your help. It doesn't have to be tonight but I need information. I could get you out of here." he said gently his eyes peering toward his little entertainment. "I can give you whatever you want for the information. Sex, money, drugs, whatever it is you want I can give it to you. Your boss is a crook and one of the worst kinds. I've been tracking him for years now and you're the only employee here that I could easily contact who may want out. plus out of all of them you're the closest to my tastes." he laid down and stared at the cieling.

 

He didn't know what the younger male would think or what he would do but he figured that he could tell him all this because he was already found out. He pulled out his badge and handed it out to the other. "I'm not just a cop." he sat up once more and chuckled, "I guess you could say I'm worse than the cops to people like your boss." he winked and pulled his badge back stowing it away under his shirt. He figured that if this guy wanted to fuck then by all means he would if it meant he could get what he needed. Eiji wasn't scared of getting dirty to figure out what he needed, thats mostly why he got the title he has. It wasn't unknown to him that he was attracted to the man and it didn't bother him his age as much if it meant he could help him get out of this situation. If he even wanted out.

[WolfDog12]

"Still, I've only had customers that could resist it who were cops. They are trained after all," Usagi teased a bit. The black rabbit turned around to face the other, propping his head up with his arm as his listened to the other speak and explain what he wanted and what he was willing to give in return. "Look, I don't know where a cop gets off saying they'll give a kid freaking drugs but I'm not interested, nor am I really all that into sex. Besides, you're dull ass probably can't satisfy me," he teased. It seemed that Usagi had a bit of a playful side that was devoid of lust. It had been a long time since he had anyone new he could talk to without having to act interested and be fucked by them. This man was a bit intriguing.

 

"You see, I don't have anywhere else to go and I owe the owner my life. I'd be dead if he'd not picked me up that one time and raised me here. Having sex is the only way for me to pay off the debt so as long as I live don't I owe it to him to repay that debt?" Usagi didn't like being chained here but he didn't fight it either. Though, his words also could be written in a way that showed he wasn't interested in helping give information on the boss.

 

Usagi was then handed a badge as the detective then tried to explain more of what was going on. Why would he go this far anyway? "Oh yay~ a detective," Usagi said in the most sarcastic of tones. As the badge once again disappeared into the inner pocket of the detective's jacket, the rabbit sat up and stretched slightly before rolling over and swinging one leg over Hokuto to straddle him cowgirl style. The rabbit began to shift his hips in an erotic way, grinding them into the groin of the detective. "Well since we have the night we may as well have a little fun before anything else," He said now returning with that same lustful look he'd had before.

 

Leaning down, the two were caught in a passionate kiss with Usagi expertly grinding his hips and twirling their tongues in a passionate kiss before it ended abruptly and the rabbit jumped from the bed holding something up in his hand. "Honestly, If you're undercover, never carry one of these on you, It could be stolen," he played and danced around holding the badge in his hand. "Look, I don't mind at all not having sex but one thing you should know about the boss, he checks up on us and if this place shows no sign of us doing it after a full night, you can bet he's going to catch on real fast and you'll never be welcomed to return again so back to square one. "So... Come on, Take your best shot. You better get that mini you up and running so we can get this over with quickly.

[Shisu-Chan00]

Eiji chuckled gently and unbuttoned his shirt getting slightly comfortable. "Dull ass? I think I could satisfy you just fine. Probably more than the bums downstairs." he said giving way to a gentle smirk. He found the kid interesting all in his own, "You know I only offered drugs because some people in this district would die for free fix." He shrugged gently and ran a hand through his hair unknowingly pulling out a cigerette and sliding it between his lips. His fingers lingered there for a moment and then he sighed once more and pulled it from his lips remembering the other had asked him not to. He put them away and peered to his partner as he spoke. A debt huh? Wasn't that interesting.

 

He was about to protest and tell him what he could do for him to get out and even pay for the debt a differnt way when he was taken off guard by the boys small figure appearing on his lap. He smirked gently his hands moving over the boys thighs resting his thumbs on the boys inner thigh. The kiss was differnet and he didn't argue. His mouth quickly responded and he kissed the black rabbit back just as expertly. Just as soon as it started it ended and he groaned realizing his badge was gone. "Ah...you know its a fake." he pointed to the badge. "It's not my real badge. Though I brought it to show you I was legit. Figuring you wouldn't talk to me otherwise." He stood and grabbed the badge back sliding it into his pocket and making sure it would stay there. He set his jacket aside and turned back to his new companion.

 

"I don't mind sleeping with you but I'm damn sure not going to be called small or unsatisfactory." he said rolling up his sleeves as he walked back to the bed. "Come on, lets get it overwith. I doubt you'll give me what I need anyway but I could use a break from work and you seem like a better distraction than booze for the night." he pulled his tie off setting it aside. "You know, we can make it look like we had sex and no one would be the wiser. If you didn't want to. You can keep the money and I'll make it seem like we did everything in the book that you wanted to do." He peered back at the rabbit hoping he knew he was being sincere rather than mean. He didn't want to sleep with him if he didn't have to, but if it was necessary he would. He did understand if the boss realized and it would be bad for the both of them if it was suspected that he was here in the first place.

[WolfDog12]

"Still, fake or not, bringing a badge is a huge problem. If it gets found people around here won't like you one bit," he said as he pulled the badge away before the other could grab it but he smirked and handed it back so it could be returned to the inner pocket and the jacket could be placed aside. Usagi returned to the bed and sat on the edge while the detective placed his jacket down and turned back towards him. "Don't underestimate me. Of course I'm a better entertainment than booze. Hence plenty of men are willing to spent their booze money as well as a small fortune to have even a few hours with me. However, I'll let you in on a little secret; I don't like sex," He stated flatly. "Not like this anyway but it's all I've ever known. I listen to the customer's selfish demands and it doesn't always turn out for the best," He stated and lifted the sweatshirt to show off the side of his rib cage even with his nipples was a jagged and terrible scar. "I try not to let people remove my sweatshirt anymore because of this," he admitted.

 

The rabbit lowered the hoodie again careful not to expose too many of the scars left on him. "The rule is 'As long as he doesn't die' so you can bet some take that a bit literally." Usagi sighed and pulled his feet onto the edge of the bed so he could lean his arms and head on his knees. "Don't get cocky," He said as the other talked about what to say in the book. "I can make up an excuse and whether we have sex or not, doesn't make a difference, the brothel keeps the money. Hence you have to pay up front. You're really paying for the time, not the sex so if you don't do it then that's fine. I've had customers before come in so drunk they hit the bed and are gone until their time is up... Not often but it has happened... More with some of the other guys than me..." he admitted.

 

"Look, I don't know what information you're looking for but I'm not looking to give any away," Usagi said turning the subject back to the investigation. "Knowing that, would you mind if I take a little nap? I was woken in the middle of the day because a customer left the shades open." He yawned now feeling even more tired but was willing to stay up if he had to. "You can wake me at any time, just don't snoop around my room. Otherwise I might have to have you kicked out..." Rules were rules here.

[Shisu-Chan00]

Eiji tilted his head and let out a gentle sigh. His eyes trailed up the boys body and it took alot to keep his hands to himself. Something inside of him wanted to reach out and caress the scar as if to say he was sorry for what had been happening to him. "Ah...sex is all you know yet there are so many things you could be good at." he stood and pulled a cigerrette out once more. "You have no obligation to tell me anything though I will have to ask you to keep the information of my occupation to yourself. For my safety and yours." he said and moved to the window uninterested with the boy any more. If he wasn't going to give him what he wanted he didn't even want to be here. He slid to the window and pushed it open easily letting out a gentle huff as if he was expecting it to be stuck. He lit it and then sat on the windowsill, "Rest up, I don't blame you. I may pass out with you here soon. Works been crazy for me too." He smiled one of those smiles but it had a sense of careing in it. "Night." he waved a hand and turned back peering out of the window.

 

There was a gentle wind coming in but it was warm. The sounds outside were actually sort of dead and he didn't mind the almost calming feel to it. He slid his cigerette into his lips and took a drag only to let the smoke waft from his lips into the night air covering the lights of the street below with its grey hues. His mind was overworking itself and he sat there lightly rubbing his bottom lip with his thumb as the cigerette burned. He didn't know where to go next in his long mission, he didn't know what to do about the money he had spent to come here for nothing, and he didn't know what to do about the loose end this kid was who could spill at any moment and make him lose everything. He would have to find a different whore, someone who is newer maybe, one that hates the abuse the owner gives. He didn't know and he wished he had a drink to ponder this over. He wished he wasn't here, in this stuffy room that smelled like something far too familiar yet unrecognizable. For some reason he wanted the company that laid on the bed away from him, it was nice getting to talk to someone and be playful like they were teasing one another. He didn't mind if he needed to get his sleep though, it was only normal having spent all night fucking some bum who probably contributes to the scars litering the boys body. For some reason this angered him, how could anyone hurt someone that way? For their own pleasure too? It made him sick.

[WolfDog12]

"I promise, I won't tell anyone," Usagi admitted before he laid down and pulled a blanket over himself. The rabbit curled up in a little ball with the hood of his sweatshirt pulled all the way up. "Night~" He muttered before sleep took the smaller male. It was a short nap but exactly what he needed. After an hour, Usagi woke up and sat up stretching with a yawn. There was always something about taking an hour to just rest that made him ready to take on the night.... Though... Tonight was a bit special. The man didn't want to have sex with him and it was the only customer of the night. Wait, so what was he going to do for the rest of the night? A bit frustrated, the rabbit began to think about all kinds of different things... What would he do if he didn't live and work here? What would it be like if he were free from these shackles?

 

The detective's offer began to weigh heavily now and it was harder for him to decide. He shouldn't betray the man who took him in... But then, it was the other whores who raised him... The owner only took him in to benefit himself later on... And Usagi had been the number one here for two years... People would sell their souls to be with him and yet... He barely saw any of the money he earned... He barely made enough for food... No... he was barely given enough for food.... But beyond that, the debt for his life was truly priceless... Not to mention Usagi couldn't just change his life and live an honest living... He had no skills... Heck, he couldn't even read.....

 

The rabbit sat up and pulled his knees to his chest and leaned his arms and head on them again trying to weigh the pros and cons of giving the detective the information he was looking for. He'd be free to do whatever he wanted but then... He didn't know of anything he'd actually want, nor did he have the skill or ability to do it. Here he had a place to live, he did have enough food to get by and he was relatively safe... Out there was another story...

[Shisu-Chan00]

After about half and hour Eiji stood and stretched throwing out the 5th cigarette of the night. He pushed the window down and moved back into the room a little chilled from sitting on the window sill. He made his way to the small bed and laid down getting comfortable. He slid his arms behind his head and peered up at the cieling his brain slowly starting to lose focus. His eyes slid to his companion who was curled up into himself sleeping away the night. Eiji decided to close his eyes to rest them and soon enough he was asleep. It wasn't until he felt a soft movement on the bed did he open his eyes. Eiji was always a light sleeper so it didn't take much to rouse him from any sleep.

 

He didn't think that the rabbit knew he was awake yet so he said nothing as he watched the thoughts cross the boys youthful yet strained face. "You're going to hurt yourself thinking too hard," he finally spoke up seeing that this kid was going to ponder things over for hours if he let him. "Don't worry too much about whatever it is you're thinking about. Life has a way of working out." he sat up and ruffled the kids hair. He stretched and let out a gentle groan, he didn't feel any more rested than when he laid his head down on the pillow. He didn't know why but for a long time now he never got the sleep he deserved. He assumed it came with the job. He had his own scars from years of working on the force and it would only get worse as the years went on. Soon enough he would be premoted again to sergant and that would involve being the boss of everyone while still sticking his neck out there to help others. Then again he figured if he wasn't on the streets he couldn't do his job properly. He would probably hate it and get bored in an office. This way his life had danger and excitment in it. "What are you thinking about kiddo? Want to talk about it?" he asked bumping shoulders with his bed mate.

[WolfDog12]

Usagi jumped when the other suddenly spoke up. "Thought you were asleep," he mumbled more to himself than anyone else. "See that's just it, has life ever worked out? I'm a whore and the only thing I can do is have sex with the men that come in here.... I play around and spread my legs doing what everyone wants me to do.... I don't even leave this room unless I'm getting food or my customer from the lobby," He stated. Usagi was different from earlier. He wasn't being as evasive and spoke more of his life here which was something he was less willing earlier. He'd had enough time to think about it.... Maybe...

 

Usagi quieted down a little not caring that his hair was now a mess. They both seemed to go into a more thoughtful mode until the detective sat back up and bumped shoulders with the younger male trying to inquire what was on his mind. "I don't want to talk about it... You now my life.... Don't you? I've lived here all my life and when I was big enough I took on customers... I don't even know how old I am... I think 18 but heck, I could already be in my twenties.... I could be younger...." Usagi sounded sad about that. Years started to blend and without a birthday or anyone keeping track, he had no idea. "Look, even if you could get me out of here, and I'm not saying you can, What would happen next? I'm poor, I don't know how to live by myself..... I can't even read," He mumbled the last statement so it was probably impossible to understand him.

[Shisu-Chan00]

It soon became apparent that this kid was upset. The older man sat up in bed and rolled onto his side his eyes peering up at the other as if intrigued by what he was saying. It was no secret to those around them and even the most innocent person to understand what the rabbit was. As the detective listened his eyes watched the boy with the skillful observation only a trained mind could have. He was hurting even if he didn't want to admit it. And even if he didn't want to admit it, he wanted out.

 

As he sat up and bumped his shoulder wanting to know more and see what the kid was thinking the answer that he got was not what he had expected. This simply caused the long fingers of his to slide up and take the boys chin in his fingers. He lightly turned his face to him and peered into his eyes. "You're...however old you want to be. If you want to be 18 then be 18 but I can find out for sure...tell me your name and I could pull anything on you." he said gently and let off a gentle smile. He didn't often show this side of him so the small rabbit was getting something special.

 

"How about...I take care of you? I could get you a job in the department. It would be good to have a kid with your expertise and observation skills running about. Hell, I could even teach you how to read." he said with a gentle laugh and let his fingers slide from the boys chin. "You have to want to be saved little bunny or I can't do shit. I would love to take you and the other youngest out of this work. Your talents are wasted here and I can tell that your "boss" who you owe so much treats you like filth." he moved a little closer sliding a hand to the boys waist. "You're small, too small for a boy your age. You rarely eat and when you do its not enouch to sustain that hunger inside." he pulled away just as soon as he had moved close.

 

"With me you could eat however much you wanted whenever you wanted. The money you made working would be yours, I wouldn't ask for it and no one would be taking it from you. Taking control of your life is a good first step kiddo." he said and rolled off the bed after checking his watch. "Though...decide quickly." he said pulling a gun from somewhere unknown, "I don't plan to stick around for long." he said cocking it and sliding it into the waist band of his pants. He moved to the chair pulling on his jacket making sure everything was in there. It was getting late and he still had to make his way to the boss and arrest him before the night was over.

 

He couldn't very well tell the kid after tonight that he would be on his own anyway. He could only hope that he would take his offer instead of ending up on the streets after tonights supposed blood bath. He assumed the boss was well guarded and he would most likely be shot in the process of this mission. It wasn't unlike him to slide into something dangerous. He walked to the door and peered back at the kid with a playful smirk on his face, "You coming?"

[WolfDog12]

"I.... I don't have a name... I was an unregistered baby bought when I was really little... I don't even know if I have parents... I chose the name Usagi Kuro because it sounded more like a name than black rabbit.... But it only means black rabbit so... In a way I chose a name that was the same just said differently," he explained feeling even more of an outcast than he had at the start of the night... This detective was bad for him.... He could tell.

 

At the mention of living with, and being taken care of by this stranger, Usagi's eyes widened in surprise. Why would he do something like that?! It was beyond him. Though, that was short lived at the mention of the fact he couldn't read causing the rabbit to turn quite red. That was something that rarely happened, even in sex it was hard to embarrass or get Usagi to turn red on any measure.

 

Things changed quickly though as the topic returned to the boss and the detective wanted to take the youngest of them out of here... But the only other male that was somewhat close to Usagi in age... He loved this place, this job... He thrived and the bigger the audience, the better... Heck, he was better off as a stripper than a whore.. Still... what would he say to a better life? One outside the red light district? Would he like it? How old was he when he came here again? It was hard to remember since Usagi wasn't the most social butterfly in the place.

 

Usagi was a bit surprised when the detective let go of his chin to move in closer and grab his thin waist. People liked his small frame... they found it easy to hold and play with.... Was he really that unhealthy? Thinking about what he ate and when... the answer was a big fat yes. Sex was a lot of exercise and he was booked all night every night. He only ate before the customers came, some bread from the shop next door, and a dumpling at night before bed.... If he was even moving enough to go get some. Damn... This detective was so right and at the thought, his usually quiet stomach voiced its complaint for the first time in a while.

 

Usagi tried to shush it before everything was pushed into a rushed mode. A gun was pulled and re positioned in the other's pants. Of course, the rabbit froze in place unable to think straight. What was happening?! Wasn't this an investigation?! Did he even have enough information to arrest the boss? The scar... as well as how thin Usagi was... That alone would raise suspicion to take it out of an undercover operation... No!! What....

 

"Wait!!!" He suddenly shouted grabbing the back of the detective's jacket to hold him from leaving the room. "No... I need more time... Please.... Just... A week? I can't just leave right now...." He was panicking and trying to do anything in his power to get more time to think about things but just then, something that happened a week ago with the boss came into his head. "No... Wait in the room... I'll bring him here so he won't have any guards...." Usagi said looking down. His bangs covered his eyes but his head was low. It was hard to tell what he was thinking but he stepped around the detective. "Let's not do it in front of everyone... It will cause a panic," he explained before heading down the hall to help.

[Shisu-Chan00]

He knew that it had worked when he felt a tug on his jacket. A smirk was quicky hidden as he turned to the other seeing the look of worry on his face. "More time? More time will only offer more excuses." he said and turned back to leave. He was slighly disappointed that the other wasn't going to take him up on his offer. He was a beautiful man and he was more than excited to see him confident and in love with himself rather than withering away in this shithole of a job.

 

The detective had been mean. He was too quick and the offer of a gun meant that something bigger and far worse was about to happen in this small brothel. But, it got to the smaller male and he was soon talking again stopping the older male in his tracks. The detective grabbed his wrist and pulled the others chin up so he could peer into his eyes. "Don't do anything stupid. Be quiet, make a complaint that I wasn't going to pay or something. Don't do anything you will regret, I can only help you if you're alive." he said sternly dropping his fingers from his face and then letting go of his wrist.

 

He watched the small figure down the hall and uttered a soft curse word. He closed the door and pulled out his gun checking the bullets and then reloading it. He leaned against the wall, his strong back pressed against its cold surface. He would jump the boss right when he entered the room and if need be kill him. Eiji wasn't against killing people. He never was, he had to do some horrible things to get the job he had and he had the scars to prove it. He rested the barrell of his gun on his lips waiting patiently for what seemed like hours. The only sound he could hear was the gentle in and out of his breathing and a soft thump of his heart. He never got scared but he was today, scared he would never see that little boy again.

 

Something inside of him felt responsible if something were to go down and this boy was to be murdered an inch away from safety. He didn't trust him fully and it wasn't until now that he thought of him betraying the detective ran through his mind.

 

"Shit..." The words rolled of Eiji's tongue as if it was poison.

 

His eyes moved back to the door. Would the kid really blow his cover for a boss that treated him like trash? He could tell that being with Eiji made the kid feel like a real person. Like he didn't have to push out or give in to the sexual wants of others. Would he give that up just to repay a dept to a sleezy piece of shit like his boss?

 

The detective didn't know and he didn't want to find out. His hand reached out to open the door and find out for himself.

[WolfDog12]

Usagi was quickly grabbed by the wrist but he refused to look the detective in the eye. It was hard to tell if that was a bad sign or just him not wanting to show a particular emotion. "Don't be stupid. That wouldn't work because you already paid. That's why the money is paid up front. Also, if it's something like that he'll bring his guards," the rabbit nearly growled as his wrist was finally released and he hurried down the hall before slowing just before he turned the corner. Couldn't look suspicious in any way.

 

The rabbit was gone for a while, or so it seemed before he was walking back down the hall with just the boss following behind him. Usagi's head was up again and he looked almost desperate, muttering things every now and then to the boss who's eyes were narrowed but his nose was up as if he had all the confidence in the world. Usagi was a good actor. As they got to the door, the rabbit grabbed the knob and said a little more loudly, "Like I said, the guy is a mess. Going on and on about how he's betraying his wife. I figured you could calm him by saying it's not cheating if it's with another guy. He won't listen to me," Usagi said.

 

"Of course my child, I can easily quell this matter and still return to my tea," the boss said with a very flamboyant voice that dripped with over confidence. The rabbit opened the door before stepping back to let his boss walk in. Not even questioning it, the boss strode in in long, graceful stride to confront the problem. He was a bigger man, at least, more filled out than the rails that worked here. He wasn't fat but a bit on the heavier scale and his face was covered in thick makeup that was as thick as a mask. The perfume he wore was almost sickening.

 

He walked in to talk to the detective but before he could register what was going on, he was already in cuffs. "Told you," Usagi said with a smirk. He knew the boss. Better than anyone so getting him here was easy. After all, there were many times the boss had to step in and calm a customer.

 

"We should go now before anything else happens," he explained before looking down the hall again. It was clear.

 

As the three made their way towards the front door, the boss struggled and had to be held the whole time by the detective as Usagi lead the way down the hall and around the corner towards the open stairs. They had no choice but for others to see them but at least no guns were drawn... yet.

 

The rabbit made it to the lobby where some looked before all stopped to look. The festive atmosphere turned dark in a moment which of course, brought out the two armed guards to see what was happening. They weren't happy to say the least. The boss suddenly started shouting and struggling against the detective as the guards pulled their guns and took aim. Usagi instinctively got in the line of sight and held up his arms. He was so scared. What was he doing?!

 

"Don't you dare," the boss growled at the guards as their aim was now on Usagi. "He's my greatest source of income!!! He just needs his wings clipped if he thinks he can fly from here," the boss said still pushing at the detective making it impossible for him to go anywhere.

 

Suddenly a gunshot went off but the guns were far lower now so they could have been aiming at the ground to scare them... too bad they weren't. Within seconds, Usagi let off a blood curdling scream before hitting the ground grabbing his leg. He'd been shot in the thigh.

[Shisu-Chan00]

Just as he was about to turn the knob he heard the rabbits voice and he jumped. He quickly reared back from the door and waited patiently. 'A wife? That's your plan? psh...probably happens more than he knew' he thought as he quickly got ready to act. His handcuffs were in his jacket all he would have to do was get them. The first thing that the detective saw was the rabbit and then he smelled a sickening scent.

 

What was that? Perfume? How disgusting. He watched as a larger man filled into the door way and it took only seconds for the detective to close the door and pull the gun on the Boss. The cold barrel kissed the mans temple as his hands expertly slid the mans wrists into handcuffs. He didn't put away his gun and instead slid it right between the mans lower back.

 

If anything happened he would fire, paralyzing the man for life and possibly killing him depending on how long the paramedics took to arrive. Luckily the man had called for a team and they would be on their way as they ascended the stairway. Just as they entered the lobby the silecne flooded in. His jaw clenched, this was going to end horribly. A sickening feeling started to claw at his senses as he peered at the boy beside him.

 

As the sickening sound of hurried footsteps and the cocking of guns filled his ears the man quickly worked to find a way to get the three of them out of there unharmed. The detective was cruel and kind of a badass so as the guns were aimed he dug the barrell of his gun into the bosses back harder causing him to stop his struggles.

 

He couldn't predict what happened next. His senses were knocked off as he heard a blood-curdling scream fill the air. Eiji quickly took action. His gun fired and he dropped the boss as he pulled the small boy behind him. He quickly emptied the clip into the other two guards. Most of the civilians had left running at the signs of the first gunshots and Eiji never missed.

 

He didn't even bother to watch if he had hit the men. He turned pulling off his tie and sliding it around the boys leg. He grabbed a knife and cut away the fabric which was around the boys leg. "Hold still. You're going to be okay. I'm here." he said gently and pulled the boy close as he tied off the tourniquet.

 

"Fuck me...I'm sorry kid. I didn't mean for this to happen." the sound of sirens soon filled his ears as he let the kids head rest on his legs. Blood smeared on his own hands and he tried his hardest to keep pressure on the wound as he waited for the medical team. It felt like forever before two men in medical gear came in with a stretcher. They hadn't expected to help two and so they grabbed Usagi first. The detective stood with them and followed them to the ambulance before hopping in with him. He took the kids hand knowing he must be terrified. "You're okay," he said gently as the med team quickly started getting to work on him and driving them to the hospital.

 

He was pretty sure he had killed the boss. If he hadn't that man wouldn't be able to walk for the rest of his life. Eiji didn't care. Someone who could be this cruel to a child had no reason to live anyway, let alone a luxerous life of wealth and power. It didn't matter to him if he was dead or alive, specially if this little rabbit didn't survive the night.

[WolfDog12]

Usagi was still screaming and growling in agony. He'd sustained a number of injuries, including the one on his side which was a pretty terrible wound but it was this gunshot that was worse than anything else he'd ever had. It was in mostly muscle and the shot was so well done that if it went deep enough, no doubt it would probably hit his bone and worst comes to worse, it would shatter it. He'd never walk again either if that were the case. The bullet hadn't come out the other side so it was still lodged somewhere in the muscle or the bone and he was still struggling as his leg was bound with a tourniquet and pressure was applied to stop the rapid loss of blood.

 

The boss had fallen and everyone high tailed it out of there before the two guards even hit the ground. Usagi remained screaming and crying, grabbing at anything he could, which included one hand grabbing Eiji's arm, digging his nail less fingers into the detective's sleeve and still into the flesh of his arm. Thankfully he was wearing a shirt and coat or Usagi's fingers would have left some serious marks. This way it only left temporary pink marks.

 

By the time the medical team rushed in, Usagi was no longer screaming but he continued to cry as his body grew even more pale than it was. He was a mess and losing strength fast. The two men worked as hard as they could to try and keep his leg from fully bleeding out as they tried to give the rabbit a blood transfusion. He was already so small and thin that he didn't have much in him to give and yet, he was loosing it all at a rapid pace.

 

Once in the ambulance, Usagi squeezed the hand that took his as hard as he could, which was considerably less than earlier. Still, as the doctors poked and tried to check the wound, his grip would manage to tighten slightly before loosing again. Usagi felt like he was going to die... He wasn't the only that feared for his life though. The rabbit's breath became labored within the forced oxygen mask and his eyes began to glaze over. The doctors couldn't do much until they got to the hospital which was quite a distance from the red light district.

 

Usagi panted heavily before his eyes started to close. Of course, the doctors continued to try and keep him conscious, asking questions he didn't have any answers to. They asked his age, his name, if his parents knew he was there, who his guardians were and where were they. The doctors tried everything but without Usagi having any answers, he didn't even think about it and accepted unconsciousness while the doctors continued to try and keep him awake.

 

Eventually, he did pass out and was taken into immediate surgery to get the bullet out and close the wound. They had to preform an x-ray to make sure the bone was still intact. After what was probably close to an hour, feeling more like an eternity, the sleeping rabbit was brought to a room to rest. His hoodie had been cut off to get to his chest and tossed out. Even the Charm he had been using as an earring for that sweatshirt, the one thing he loved, it was all gone and he had no idea. He was asleep in a room, leg bound tight.

[Shisu-Chan00]

Eijii answered every question as it came. He claimed ownership of the boy beside him and he didn't mind trying his hardest to fill in the gaps. When the doctors finally stopped hitting him with questions the detective peered down and gently brushed hair from the boys face. "Don't give me that look, you're okay. You're not going to die, I still have to teach you how to read." he said gently and slid his arm over to the oxygen mask and held it in place. He tried his hardest to keep the boy awake asking him what he liked to do in his spare time, what he wanted his new name to be, what he wanted if anything when he did get out of the hospital.

 

It was all in vain. Sooner than later the boys eyes closed and Eiji prayed it wouldn't be the last time he saw those defiant eyes. The hand that had been gripping at him as if for its life lost all motion yet Eiji didn't let it fall from his grasp. He held it tight in his own massaging the others fingers trying to let him know that he wasn't alone in this world any longer.

 

He helped the medical team lower the streatcher down and get him into the hospital but he wasn't allowed past a certain point. He didn't want to let go of the kids hand and he hadn't, they had to pry his little unconsious hand out of his own. He, as the gardian was allowedd in after the surgery he just had to wait. Seconds turned to minutes, minutes slid to hours, and hours seemed to morph into eternity. Finally a doctor came in with a clipboard, "Eiji" he called and the detective stood.

 

He walked over hurridly, "Is he okay? What happened? Did you save his leg?" the questions fell out of him like a waterfall. The doctor simply smiled and nodded. "He's doing fine, come with me." he said gently and guided the detective to a secluded room. The boy lay against pure white sheets and his pale body seemed to hide within it. He was shirtless and probably pantless too. This was a first real look at the boy that the detective had gotten and it broke his heart.

 

He was littered with scars and as he sat his hand instinctively traced a rather large on on his side. "Sir, we need to ask you a few questions...about his wound and his body." The doctor spoke gently though this was something that had to be spoken about.

 

"I took ownership of him today. He was at a brothel. I did not do this to him." he said sickly as he looked up at the man. "I'm saving him." The mans long fingers slid down taking the other's fragile almost lifeless hand. He didn't want to say anything more if Usagi wanted something to be said he could do it himself. He would simply wait for him to wake.

 

Exhaustion took hold and his body slowly slumped forward and his head rested on the bed beside the boy. His face peered up at the other and his eyes slowly slid closed. His mind was quickly taken by the dark reaches of unconsiousness. His body finally seeming to relax after what seemed like a horrible night. He hadn't slept in a long time and being with the kid knowing he would be safe for now meant he could relax and just take a few hours to himself. Hopefully, when he woke it would be to the sound of the kids voice.

[WolfDog12]

Usagi didn't regain consciousness until about 9 the following night. It was a long night before and it was nearly dawn by the time he'd gotten out of surgery. It was no wonder he slept so long. For now, Usagi slowly opened his eyes, letting them adjust to the difference in lighting. It was dark in the room but there was so much light coming from the hallway it was almost sickening. The rabbit was in no way use to light and even the brothel, the lights were dimmed and tinted red. The only form of sunlight he got was if he woke too early or went to sleep so late the sun rose.

 

A warmth radiated from the rabbit's hand. It was unlike the rest of him because the room was freezing and without his sweatshirt, he was shirtless and his bottom half was only covered by a thin sheet that even exposed his wounded leg but draped over his center enough to cover his privates and lower belly as well as the one uninjured leg. Damn... so cold.

 

Usagi looked over to the only source of warmth in his body, slowly turning his head before giving his hand a light squeeze. He could feel the pain returning to his leg... the pain killer must have been wearing off. Still, he wanted to get the detective's attention if he could. Why was he even here? Did he really feel that obligated to take in such a pathetic child as him? And on top of it all, Usagi didn't have any insurance so he'd no doubt have a huge bill to pay. What was he going to do now? It felt as if the boy had never thought about any of this before and it killed him to try and figure out what he was going to do.

 

"Detective," He managed through a weak and strained voice. He needed company and, while he felt bad for waking the detective, he had no one else to turn to.

[Shisu-Chan00]

The detective dreamed of nothing in particular. He was in a light sleep so when he heard the gentle name he let out a soft groan and blinked his eyes open. He closed them instantly and cursed at the light that shown into the room. He sat up and rubbed one of his eyes letting go of the small hand. "Hey...how you feelin little bunny?" he said with a gentle smile and moved closer. "Are you hurting anywhere? Need anything? The doctor said if you woke up that I could ask about food if you're hungry."

 

The detective chuckled softly realizing what the kid had called him. "Eiji, thats my name. Just call me that alright? Detective is a little too formal considering you're under my care now...the papers are all filed by the agency." He gently moved to sit beside the other on the bed. "You're a brave little rabbit. Why would you jump infront of me? I've been shot at plenty of times, hell ive been almost killed. You didn't have to do that." The detectives eyes peered down at the boy infront of him wondering what exactly was running through this kids head when he did what he did.

 

Why would he put his life on the line for a guy he just met? He assumed the younger man was thinking the same thing and was quickly beginning to realize that Eiji didn't care about his past or where he had been or who he had been with he was free now which meant he could do anything he wanted. He gave the kid the age of 19, if he decided after they got out of the hospital that he didn't want to stay with Eiji he could leave and find his own path. The detective was highly against this of course and would recommend he stay with him least till he could find a job and get a stable living.

 

This kid was stubborn though and he didn't know how that conversation was going to go. The agency was paying for his medical bills as well as giving him a small amount of money to get on his feet with. This was odd to the detective but it sort of made since if he thought long and hard about it. It was possible that the agency felt accountable for the kid so he was being well taken care of. Even living with the top detective in the city. He hoped it would all go north from here.

"My leg hurts," he muttered clearly still waking up. Usagi hadn't really thought about food but it had been probably 24 hours since he last ate anything... Still, was the cafe even open at this hour? It was so late visiting hours already ended and it probably wasn't good for people to eat right before bed... Though, for Usagi, this was breakfast. Sometimes it was difficult to be on the complete opposite sleep schedule than everyone else.... A habit he'd have a hard time breaking if he were going to live like a normal person.

 

 

"You really are my guardian now?" It was still hard to imagine but it was true... Though, the detective... Eiji continued to ask questions and explain his life. "I don't know..." he groaned loudly. "My body moved on its own and I'm in no way brave, I was shaking the whole time..." He said and looked down at himself. He was completely naked except for the blanket that barely covered anything. No wonder he was so cold. Nothing like the heat of his room at the brothel and without his sweatshirt.... wait...

 

"Where's my sweatshirt?!" He asked looking around more, propping himself up as much as he could. It was a struggle and he winced in pain as the shift in his body only made his leg twinge and hurt more. He was clearly distressed and had an unusual fondness to that sweatshirt but it was comfortable and his safety blanket if you will. Without it... he could get hurt again. As the rabbit continued to struggle, his back was exposed and the marks there were even worse than the ones he had littered about his chest and sides. They looked like whip marks and he had an imprint of two chain links permanently pressed into his back just under his right shoulder blade. The sweatshirt was the only thing that hid these marks.

 

When the rabbit finally lost all his strength, Usagi fell back to the bed with a pained whimper. The blanket had slid from his midsection and only covered his crotch. "No... the charm..." He bit his lip wanting so badly to cry right now because in the back of his mind, he knew it was thrown out but that charm hanging off one of the ears, that was everything to him.
