Dante fell to his side as he was hit, a cut being left on his cheek from the strike. Blood dripped from it and the scratch from the bullet on his forehead forcing him to close his right eye to avoid blood from getting into it. He was able to catch himself, that is, before his arms were taken from him and cuffed behind him.

He panicked, his heart racing as his eye dulled and stared off into space. He was strapped; he couldn't do anything at all for Oni's sake. He growled as he heard Oni being struck, forcing himself onto his knees and moving in front of the boy with ease. "If you want a punching bag, use me." He glared up at the men, curling his cuffed hands into fists behind his back.

The man grinned and said, "Just what I wanted to hear." He hit Dante square in the jaw . He continued to beat Dante till one of the men up front said, "Fuck sakes Jim you're gonna kill the bastard. Remember the guy wants him alive." The man simply replied, "He'll be alive just a little less pretty."

Hito said, "Most likely that's what's happened but if the police are here then they are already gone. Still we better make sure they were here." Hito focused and tried to smell them. He thought he got a hint of it and followed the trace. It took him to an under ground garage and he knew now that they had indeed been here.

Oni whimpered behind Dante crying. Dante was being beaten with out mercy and all to keep him safe. He couldn't get up though. That last hit had made it impossible to even sit up with out everything spinning wildly.

Dante tried to lighten the impact of each blow by falling with it. He felt each blow without flinching, 'sucking it up.' His head was spinning as he wheezed, thankful to get a bit of a rest as the two men conversed. His eyes fluttered as he looked up dazed at the Soldier. HE shot a few Italian cusses at the man, though hardly tried to move.

He'd received blows to his chest and face mainly, booth of which were throbbing and bruising up quickly. "Fucker..."

The man smiled and asked the driver, "Now we just need them alive right?" The driver sighed and said, "Yeah don't kill 'em." The man who had been beating Dante got close and said to him, "Now we're gonna have some fun." He undid Dante's pants and reached his hand down.

Oni could do nothing but lay there and try not to pass out.

Hito sighed and said, "This is my fault I shouldn't have gotten that deer. I should have had us leave right away. Damn. I think we should go back and talk to the others." He couldn't smile knowing now that they were basically at square one.

Wait... WAIT, WHAT!?

Dante writhed as he felt that man's hand against a certain area. "Bastard! Get the Hell away!" He slammed one foot against the floor of the car before swinging the other up, using the momentum to catch the soldier right in the jaw. "DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME LIKE THAT!!"

Dante's body shook as he was hit again, struggling with all his might against the rope. What the Hell was this? Why was he even being taken along in the first place? Weren't they after Oni? So, why wasn't he dead yet? He felt the rope tighten as he yanked them back, refusing to look at the other. This wasn't good at all; he wouldn't have been so upset if it weren't for the fact that this'd end with... well... him turning into a chibi. That was just damned embarrassing. Wellm at least he could be secure at the thought that this man wasn't a pedo; or, at least, he hoped to all nine Hells that he wasn't.

( This is just mean. xD )

(( well yeah. . . Figured I might was well make Dante suffer just a weeee bit more. I ish evils))

The man threw insults at Dante during the whole thing. Of course he didn't bother making sure it didn't hurt Dante since all he cared about was making himself feel good.

Oni was going in and out of consciousness due to the head injury. However, at one point he realized what was going on and felt sick to his stomach. How could they do that to Dante?! How dare they?! It wasn't special either like when he was with Lukas. This was just horrible. Oni whimpered, "Stop it, please stop it." However, his tiny cries went unheard.

((okays I thinks I've had enough fun playing the dudes, you can take over now Dante XP ))

What was that, twenty minutes? What a wimp. Dante was left there, half way to his own 'ecstasy,' and that bastard just up and backed off. He stayed limp against the van floor, his eyes far from everything. His heart was pounding and sweat beading his overheated body. He felt sick to his stomach as well thanks to the bastard.

He felt disgraced; lower than dirty after being used like that. He was fucking helpless all over again. He hated this place; he really hated this place. But... but DAMN! Couldn't that guy have at least fixed Dante's clothing? Or unbind him so that he could fix himself? This was just disgusting!

Hito set her down gently when they got back to the Inn. He held onto her arm though and said, "I know things are bothering you and I wish I had more time with you right now." He ran is other hand through his hair before saying, "We are all very talented people and we are going to get them back come hell or high water." He let his hand drop from her arm and said, "I'm going to check on Ti. The others might want to know what little we found out k."

Once the man was done he sat back and joked with another soldier leaving Dante as is.
Oni nudged over to Dante and said quietly, "I-I'll help k." While the soldiers were laughing about something Oni moved over a bit. His head was swimming still but he didn't want Dante just left like that. He started to pull up his pants when he was noticed. The soldier called him a little brat and hit him hard once more. Oni's world went black and his body slumped against Dantes.

Dante closed his eyes and breathed as Oni moved closer and tried to help, but he knew of the inevitable. He heard everything, but saw nothing. He grit his teeth hard as Oni slumped against him, his hands curing into tight fists. This wasn't right; this wasn't right at all. He just wanted to get Oni out of here. Oni didn't deserve any of this. He rolled himself over and forced himself to sit up, glaring at the bastard that hit Oni. "Leave the kid alone already."

His voice was hoarse after everything that had happened, his eyes distant as he panted heavily. He felt overheated; he needed something cool. He was sweating so much, he must have looked like a piece of art. Swollen, beaten, raped, and now with what seemed like a 107 fever.

Hito sighed after she had gone. She was back to her stone image and it was getting to him. Things would never progress if she blamed everything on herself or on feelings. He trudged up the stairs not happy at all. He went into see if Ti had come out of being unconscious. He sat next to the boy and said, "Wake up lazy bones. You gonna let a little wound like that keep you bed ridden? I thought I was suppose to be the old man here and stay in bed sleeping. How you gonna impress that woman of yours if you can't even move around. I guess I'll just have to take care of her needs since I'm the real man here." It sounded mean to untrained ears but it was the normal banter that they usually did. He hoped Ti might hear a bit of it and get pissed enough to wake up.

The men left Oni alone but only because they had strict orders. However, giving the kid repeated blows to the head wasn't a way to earn favor with their employer.

Not long after Dante's rape the van pulled in to a new area and stopped. The men bagged Dante's head and made sure he was bound well. They began unloading their cargo.

( Are you going to have Dante walk? Or are you carrying him? xD )

((they are gonna carry him. You kick ass dude. . .they learned their lesson XP ))

( Phht. xD Kay. )

( Did they at least fix his pants? D= )

((yeah they did))

( Thank God. xD )

Dante hated this part. He was blinded and jostled around, thrown over someone's shoulder like some kind of bean bag. The issue here was that one of the captives was unconscious. The soldiers tossed Dante and Oni both in separate 'cells'; (more like white washed rooms with those eery one way windows.)

Dante was blinded as the bag was ripped off from him, but hardly enjoying the idea of being shoved down flat on his face and left alone in the room. Not like he wanted a soldier to keep him company; the fact that Oni wasn't here was what unnerved him.

He pushed himself up onto his knees, panting heavily as sweat dripped down his face to the tip of his nose. His head was everywhere as the world spun. His heartfelt like it was leaping out of his chest. Soon; fucking soon it would happen. He'd just grown back to normal again, and now he'd be the weak defenseless fucking toddler again.

Oni wasn't sure how long he had been out but when he woke he was in a white room. It was similar to the room Xanic and him had when they were going up. Oddly enough it helped to calm him down simply because it was something familiar.

He still felt dizzy and sick but not nearly as bad as before. He curled up in a corner wondering where Dante was.

Some time later the door opened and an all too familiar face walked in. Had this been a few months ago Oni would have felt relief now he just felt dread. It was the Director.

Once he had taken a few calculated steps into the room he smiled gently at Oni and said, "Welcome back home Oni. You know father has missed you very much. He sad that you tried to stay away." One of his men had brought in a chair for him to sit on which he did at that moment.

Oni said quickly, "You aren't my father! Ti's my dad."

The Director shook his head sadly saying, "You're going to hurt papa's feeling you know if you keep saying things like that. You don't want to be punished do you? Remember I'm the one that created you Oni. You owe your very life to me."

Stammer he said, "N-no! Just because you made me doesn't mean you're my dad. Ti gave me his blood to save me. He's my dad!"

The Director's eyebrow raised, "Oh really. The vampire shared his blood, very interesting." He waved forward a man who grabbed Oni's arm and injected him with a syringe.

Oni knew that he had made a mistake and he slumped down no longer conscious.

The Director stood and said simply, "Get him prepped while I go observe the other one." He went and watched Dante for a while and knew he would have to test the man to see if the rumors were true. He turned on the com link and said softly, "How are you enjoying your stay so far Mister Dante De Stephano."


After spending some time with Tidus Hito decided he would see how Amoni was doing. He was fearful that all of this had torn apart the little connection they had made so far. He made his way downstairs and looked for the beautiful woman. Once he spotted her he said softly, "I'm glad your eating something."
