Hello again readers! I am so sorry that it has taken me this long to update the chapter. It has been pretty busy for me lately, with new jobs mainly. I really am grateful for the ones who messaged me and told me to get back on track. Just know this, I have not given up on any of my stories, they are still alive. They are merely at a rest while I am busy. Anyway, enough babbling. Here you go! Chapter 4!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN SEIKAIICHI HATSUKOI, NOR IT'S CHARACTERS!

Chapter 4

Ritsu woke in the car a few hours later. His head throbbed from the hit he received from Hiko when he was acting out earlier at the camera store. The only recent memory he had of the drive was being able to see Takano. Takano had looked so tired; it made Ritsu feel bad.

Hiko smiled and grabbed hold of Ritsu's leg. "Finally awake?" he asked, his grip tightening. His eyes were clearly showing his anger from earlier. "You made quite a scene back there. You do understand why I had to knock you out, right?" he asked, expecting an answer. His brow raised in expectancy.

Ritsu looked away from him. "So you wouldn't get caught kidnapping someone." he muttered. He jerked his leg away from Hiko. "Don't touch me." he whispered. "I can't stand it when you touch me." he said. He shuddered to add an emphasis to his point.

Hiko smirked. "Your resistance only makes it better." he said, grinning even more. He reached over and jerked Ritsu's chin towards him so that he was facing him. "You'll come to like it soon enough." he whispered, licking his lips. He then leaned in and kissed Ritsu deeply. He chuckled as he felt Ritsu's attempt to pull away.

Ritsu gasped, struggling to further the distance between the two of them. He felt Hiko's tongue lick his lips and then enter his mouth. He felt his whole body freeze and he then began shaking in disgust. It felt nothing like Takano's kisses. He bit Hiko's lip, causing him to hiss in frustration.

Hiko growled and struck Ritsu. Both of their mouths were now bleeding. Hiko jerked Ritsu's shirt collar. "You do that again and you'll be going back to Masamune in a matchbox." he promised. He looked into Ritsu's eyes, glaring deep into them. "Am I understood?" he asked.

Ritsu shook slightly, not answering Hiko's threat. That would just give him what he wanted. He knew that Hiko wanted him to feel scared. He wasn't about to give him the pleasure in it if he could. He looked out the window, not wanting to even give the other man a second glance. After a few moments he sighed. "Where are we going?" he asked.

Hiko looked out his window. "Somewhere he'll never find you." he whispered, his eyes in thought. "Well I may let you be with him when you are about to die, but not a moment before." he whispered, his eyes were full of darkness.

Ritsu's heart sank. "But w-wait! You said...you said you'd give me back when you get the money!?" he said, his voice rising with hysteria. He gripped Hiko's shirt. "It's the money you want, right?!" he asked.

Hiko jerked his shirt away. "You fool! It was never about the money! I will never allow him to see you again! Not until the last breath leaves my body!" he snarled. "I will never be satisfied until he lives a life full of remorse, full of grief from not being with the one he loves! He will live with the pain that I have these years!" he snarled.

Ritsu bit his lip, feeling the tears he wanted so badly to keep inside, come to the surface. "No...please...you can't just keep me locked away forever...the police...someone will notice." he whispered, more to assure himself than to threaten Hiko. He clenched his fist. "Please don't do this...Please!" he begged.

Hiko laughed, his eyes showing despise. He grabbed Ritsu's chin again. "I'll love you in his place...I'll have you trained soon enough." he whispered, licking his lips. He let Ritsu go and instructed the driver to turn a certain way.

Ritsu shuddered, hugging himself. He felt lost, defeated. He knew he couldn't bend to this man's will. He rested his head against the car window and stared blankly out it. If there was a plan to be thought of, it had yet to make it's way to Ritsu's thoughts. It seemed like a no ending situation. Hiko made him feel like less of a man...like a child...an ignorant child.

A short time after that the car came to a stop outside of a large mansion. It was well hidden in the woods, just out of sight from the highway. It was tall and had an ominous feeling to it. He couldn't help but wonder what had happened here to make the place look as shady as it did. There were several cars parked in the lot and around the mansion. There were fine gentleman dressed in suits, maybe lawyers, all around.

Hiko got out and pulled Ritsu out of the car and up to do the door of the mansion. "You'll be living here as my personal servant. You will do well to please me...my every desire." he smirked. He pulled Ritsu inside. He exposed Ritsu to another word, not thought of in real reality.

Ritsu's heart sank as he looked around. There were more fine dressed men and women around. They were casually toying with other male and females as they pleased. It was a sorry sight and it scared Ritsu. It didn't take Ritsu any time to realize what this place was. It was a mass house full of trafficked people. Hiko was in the human trafficking business, this was certain.

Ritsu's lip trembled. "No...no! Not his!" he screamed, causing the fine dressed guests to look up in dissatisfaction, and some with twisted grins in Ritsu's defiance. He was silenced by a guard who covered his mouth. He squirmed as he was taken out of the room and up a set of stairs.

Hiko waved to his guests apologetically. "Carry on, just don't mind that one." he said and then went upstairs where Ritsu was. He slapped Ritsu. "That was extremely rude to our paying guests. My business strictly relies on quality." he hissed.. "Do it again and I'll cut your tongue off." he threatened.

Ritsu felt lightheaded and sick. "All of those people...how can you...do something this sick?! Most of those people are barely in college." he screamed. "What have they done to deserve this. What, did all of those people come into contact with Takano?" he snarled, feeling a bit daring.

Hiko's eyes widened in rage. He punched Ritsu in the mouth, not bothering with a slap. "Watch your damn tongue! What part of the fact that I can kill you right now, don't you understand?!" he yelled, pushing Ritsu against the wall. "His name better now come out of you mouth ever again or my temper might just slip!" he snarled. He let go and shoved him away. "Take him to his room, I don't want to look at him for awhile." he said.

The guards were happy to comply, wishing to keep the unsightly seen at the bare minimum. They took him to his room and tossed him inside and then locked the door. Ritsu slid down the door and hugged his knees, finally sobbing his tears of frustration. "I...dammit!" he hissed. He looked around the room, it was really nice looking. He laughed bitterly. He would've enjoyed a night like this, had the situation been different.

The room was decorated in deep red and gold. It had no windows, just an old mirror in the corner of the room. There was a small master bathroom to the left of the room. He got up and went over and touched the red satin sheets of the canopy bed. He bit his lip and his body shivered and his heart turned cold as he thought of what was to come to him on this very bed. He laughed bitterly. Or would Hiko rather take him on his own bed. The thought made him sick.

He explored the room, looking for secret escapes that he had seen in movies in places like these. Not to his surprise, there were none. Of course it would've been too easy if there were. His life was already troubled, why would whatever god there was, help him now? He sighed and sat down in the deep red chair in front of the fireplace. He rubbed his temples, only waiting for what was to come. He begged silently that Takano would just burst through the door at any moment...but of course, it wouldn't happen.

Ritsu sighed. He just needed to keep up hope. Hope that Takano had gotten help...had told someone that he was held captive..help would come...yes...It had to. Surely he wasn't that damned. He closed his eyes...then again...maybe he was that damned after all. He laughed a bit, it was a painful laughter. Bitter and cold. Yeah, help would come.

Well that is it my friends! I am sorry it's short, but that is all for now! I will start working on the next chapter once my vacation time comes up. It should be here within the next week or so! Until next time! Please REVIEW! THANKS!
