Unforgiven

I am _totally_ not happy with this part. It's very long, but hopefully it explains _some_ things. If not, next part will ^^;;

I know it took forever, but I was having DNS issues with my site and had to buy a new one and start over...

Blah, blah... ok on with it. Xx;;;;;

----------------------------------------------------------------


Otogi had barely made it to push Kaiba out of the way before the sound of shots
echoed across the school yard.

"K-Kaiba?", he said weakly before noticing the warm liquid in his hands, "Kaiba's? M-mine..."
Just as he was blacking out, he could feel himself being carried; some of Kaiba's men had swarmed
all around, firing in the direction of the shots while the others carried himself and Kaiba
to the limo.

"Get them to the hospital now!" was the last thing he remembered hearing.


"What just happened down there?!" Yugi and Anzu had been hiding on the roof for some
alone time when the excitemtent caught their attention, "Kaiba-kun! Otogi-kun!"
They ran into the building to find it locked down; teachers trying to keep calm while
getting frantic students to the safety of a room.

"Yugi! You hear?!" Jounouchi excalimed, running for them, "Someone was shot..."

"We saw it! Jounouchi, it was Otogi and Kaiba!" Anzu began to cry.

"Oh, gods! Where's Honda?!"

"Don't know..." Yugi answerd, trying to calm Anzu down.

"Shit! We got to get him..."

"They won't let anyone in or out." a fellow student said.

"Yugi, can I talk to you for a minute?" Jounouchi pulled him aside so Anzu couldn't hear,
"Remember that little trick you pulled to get out of the dance early?"

"Y-yea, but..."

"Go for it man, only this time, really lay it on thick!"

Yugi nodded and stepped aside toward a few huddled teachers while Jounouchi went slowly for Anzu.

"Ready Anzu?"

"Ready? Huh?" Jounouchi grabbed her and gave the signal to Yugi, who suddenly began to moan
and whail in excruciating pain, doubling over and collapsing to the floor.

"Yugi?!" Anzu cried, trying to get away from Jounouchi.

"No, no! This way!" he said through his teeth, as the teachers and most of the students
turned their attention to Yugi.

"Jounouchi?! What..."

"No time, we've got to find Honda..."

"What about Yugi?!"

"He'll find a way out, let's go!"


Ow, ow, OW!, "Damn it!" Honda cired as he pulled over to rest on a curb. It had seemed
he did more than just twist his ankle.
He carefully pulled his shoe and sock off to find his ankle swollen almost half it's size.

He tried to get back on his bike, figuring on going to the hospital, when
a familiar white vehical flew by like a streak, "The hell?!"

He struggled to get back on the bike, when he noticed something wet on his pants.
"Damn it! I sat in..." he looked back to see, but found the ground was dry., I-I'm... bleeding?!

As he forced himself back onto the bike, Mai, Jounouchi and Anzu screeched to a hault next
to him.

"Honda, did you hear?!" Jounouchi asked.

"H-hear...?" he tried to slide to the side a bit to hide.

"Kaiba and Otogi! Honda, they..." Anzu started, when Mai cut her off.

"Get in!" she ordered.

He wasn't too receptive to getting into Mai's car in his condition, he deffinatly didn't need
questions, so told them he would follow.

Once there, everyone was in such a hurry, no one noticed Honda's limping or bleeding.

No one that is, except of course for a doctor.

"Young man, are you..."

"I need to see Kaiba Seto!"

"No, you need to see me..." Honda was so worried about Kaiba, he tried to ignore the pain and

blood loss along with the excitement draining him, "You're pale as a ghost!"

"N-No, I'm fine, I just need to... see..." the more excited he became, the more drained,
"P-please..."

"Nurse! A Wheelchair now!" Honda had collapsed.

"What the hell?!" Jounouchi exclaimed.

"Go." was all the doctor would say before pushing his way past the confused boy.

"Jounouchi?" Anzu started, "D-did you see?"

"Yea, he's bleeding from... uh, yea..."

"And his ankle..." Mai said, "What could have happened?"


Honda woke to his mother stroking his hand and his father on the other side of the room talking
to a doctor and, police?

"T-The... hell... I got to see... Seto..."

"Shh, no, not a good idea right now." his mother said softly.

"Finally awake?" the officer said, taking a seat next to Honda's mother, "Got a story
for us?"

"A... what?" as his senses became clearer, the idea the doctors had called parents and the
_police_ angered him, "No! I want to see Seto!" he demanded, trying to get
out of the bed, when the doctor, officer and his father held him back, "Let go, damn it!"

"Honey, please, they just want to help!"

"Help?! You want to help? Let me see Seto!"

Honda's strength was coming back ten fold. The officer was having a difficult time believing
the report he had been raped. Then, if he had, it could have been more than one person judging
by how he had been 'ripped apart'.

There's no way one person was able to take this kid!, he thought as he struggeld to hold him
down as the doctor, and even his own father, strapped him down to the bed.

"Let me GO!"

"I'll tell you what, kid," the exausted officer said, "tell us what happened, you see Seto."

Honda had to think about this. There was no way he was saying a word about what happened infront
of his _father_. Wasn't it enough his only son was _gay_ now he was going to find out he was
_raped_?

He took a deep breath and gulped it down, then calmly came up with an elaborate tale of
a nasty spill off his bike.

Once through, he looked around. For some reason, everyone seemed more angry than relieved.

The officer bent down over him, coming eye to eye with the bewildered boy.

"Ok, kid. Now tell us what really happened."

Honda felt a cold shock through his body. He looked over to his parents, who were looking
to the floor, shaking their heads.

They wanted to believe the bike story, of course, but...

"Hiroto, why lie to a cop?! You don't tell the truth, you don't see Seto..." his father warned.

"That's right," his mother said coldly, "You come home with us. End of it."

"Wh-what makes you think I'm lying?!"

"How aout that twitch... just tell the truth, damn it!"

Noting their tones and his father's reddening face, he relaxed into the straps and shut his eyes.

"Ok," he said defeted, nodding toward his parents, "They leave, I'll talk."

Without anyone else having to tell them, they stepped out of the room.

Once they were out of site, Honda spilled everything about his ordeal.

He began choking on his words, fighting back tears. Even one of the nurses began to sob.

With one last choking sob, he pleaded, "N-now, please... I want... to see Seto! Please?!"

The officer and doctor looked over the examination report, just to make sure.

"Everything checks; the bruises on his wrists, his abdomen..."

"His bleeding..." the officer added, to Honda's humiliation, he even seemed curious about that
one.

"Y-yes, that too."

The nurse, who was also in tears, whiped Honda's face as he was still strapped in.

"Please let him go now." she said, "I'll take him mylsef." she went for a set of crutches as the
doctor unstrapped him.


Outside the room, his friends and parents were clinging to eachother for support.

Mokuba came flying out of no where, not realizing the pain Honda was in, and throwing
his arms around him to cry.

"M-Mokuba?" he strained, "Wh-what...?"

"O-Otogi..." he said, pointing to the room next to his.

"Otogi?" he had forgotten what Anzu had said when they found him.

"He tried to warn nii-sama! He pushed him out of the way... or he tried to..."

"Otogi tried to... he..." he broke from the boa-like grip of the boy and made his
way to Otogi's room.

Without hesitation, he went in to find Otogi half dazed.

The sound of the heart monitor was weak, sending his own heart into his throat.

Rather than try to sit, he knelt next to the bed.

"Otogi?"

"Honda... what happened to you?" he asked, eyeing the crutches.

"Mokuba said you tried push Seto out of the way." he said, changing the subject.

"I tried... I failed..."

"?!"

"Honda, you two are so right for eachother..."

"?!?!"

"You are both the most stubborn people I have ever met!"

"What..."

"He wouldn't move... he didn't believe me til it was too late! He thought I was trying to
start a fight, and he pushed me, after that, it's pretty much a blur..."

"Otogi, I don't know what to say..."

"Nothing... it's mostly my fault anyway..."

"What?! How could you say that?!"

"I lied to you..."

"I know..."

"You do?! You mean..."

"Yea, come on, someone like Seig _your_ stooge..."

"Oh... that..."

"Yea, what did you... oh... oh no..."

"I'm sorry, so sorry!" he cried, "I was going to tell you before we were caught..."

"Otogi, I... I can't... S-Seto... and what about Shizuka?"

"It wasn't fair to her..."

"You mean you..."

"Yea, it was mutual though... I think she was interested in someone nearer to her anyway..."

After a few seconds of uncomfortable silence, Otogi spoke up to break it.

"Honda, I am sorry... but, if I had had the guts to tell you how I felt..."

"It depends on when you decided you felt this way..."

"How about when I first saw you?"

"Run that by me again..."

With a hard sigh, Otogi told him everything; about first noticing Yugi, whom of course, was
his target for revenge, but then this tall, cute guy stepped up...

"You're kidding, right? If I remember right, it was Jounouchi who..."

"Yea," he said, "But then he opened his mouth..." both couldn't help but chuckle at that.

"No, seriously, at the time, I probably would have decked you..."

"Timing is everything then, huh?"

"Yea, I guess..." he heaved himself back onto his crutches, "You know, I haven't been in to
see Seto yet..."

"He's going to be pissed you came to see me first..."

"No. He's going to wonder how the guy who tried to save him is doing."

"..."


After making his way past his friends and parents again; unable to look at any of them,
he made it to Kaiba's room.

Rather than burst in like with Otogi, he hesitated; afraid of what he would find.

I don't think I can take it if you're worse off... no, even in the same condition as Otogi...

He peeked in before going all the way.

Kaiba was out cold.

He slowly limped to his side and fell to his knees. The sound of his crutches hitting
the floor causing Kaiba to twitch, but still didn't wake him.

"Gods Seto, I'm so sorry!" he said in a soft sob, "Why?! How?!" he cried into the bed,
trying to muffle it so no one outside the room could hear.

"How could you possibly forgive me for what I did to you?!"

He looked up for a response. When there was none, he lay his head back down on the bed.

"I guess I got what I deserved, huh? Karma it's called, right?"

Again, no response.

"I bet you'd say the same thing about you being... being... gods, what am I going to do?!"

"The hell are you talking about?" Kaiba asked, sending Honda back in a panic.

"You're awake?!"

"Awake as I can get..."

"You... damn it, you scared me!"

"Damn pain killers." he mumbled, ignoring Honda.

"Seto?!"

"Hm?"

"Don't 'Hm?' me!"

"Ever see those stupid soap operas where someone is out cold in the hospital, and
the person visiting opens up?" he asked as he started to laugh.

"Damn you, Kaiba Seto! That wasn't funny!"

"I wasn't trying to be, but your reaction..."

"So you heard everything?"

"Everything. Why the crutches? Why mention karma? What happened to you...?!"

"I shouldn't have... you're just going to upset yourself..."

"Please tell me."

Like before with the police, Honda lost it and began to cry uncontrolably as he told
Kaiba everything from being in the closet with Otogi all day to how he ended up on
the crutches.

"H-he... sick bastard!" was all Kaiba had the strength for, "I'll..."

"You'll do nothing! Police will handle this..."

The thought of the police involvement caused a slight jump in Kaiba's skin.

"Are the police... still here?"

"Yea, they... shit! They're going to..."

"Want to talk to me... and Otogi!"
