By the time when his conciseness slowly made its way back to him, obviously enough he could tell he was lying on a bed, the sheet below was cool and slick against his back. Unfortunately he still could see nothing. There’s no light, only the total darkness was there to welcome him.

Where was he actually? He had not a single idea. He tried to move his hands but failed as if something cold and hard to hook with his wrists. But what it was?

He had no idea.

His head was still dizzy. He laid on the bed naked in the darkness until he heard someone was coming. He could do nothing but wait until he felt someone also climbed into the bed, rolling himself on top of him, sat on his belly’s area and he heard the person on top of him was chuckling slightly.

Than he could feel the person pressed something cold and sharp slightly against his smooth belly, than send it dancing along his torso everywhere; from his throat to his chest, than slowly traveling to his lower-torso, this chill sense made his blood frozen. He hadn’t experienced such thing like this before.

He wanted to see who he was, but his lids covered heavily on his eyes. Until he felt the pressure from the stranger’s hand increased, driving the sharp object on his hand to cut a bit deeper into his skin just enough to draw a thin crimson line upon it. Than the blood slowly flow out, leaving a tiny red trace.

Finally at that point his eyes snapped open in pain. But still he couldn’t see thing clearly there was some half-invisibles layer blocking his sights, what was there?

Again without warningly, the lamp near the bed was turned out suddenly.

The light blinded him for a few second. Shortly afterward he could focus his sights on, and he noticed that there was a plastic bag covering his head.

For the first time he sensed that something wasn’t all right.

He cocked his head trying to find out what was bounded him, and though this sparse light he gasped for his discovery.

It was an iron. His limbs were tied tightly on the bed frame. The iron on his keels was so tightly that making him felt hurt too.

He was beginning to take in his surrounding. Later on he realized that he was in a strange room he had never seen before. Than his sights made its way back to the person on top of him, through the clear plastic bag upon his face, he could see his lover sat on top of him, and there was a bloodstained dagger on his hand.

"Hyde?…what’reyou doing here?" But there was no answer from the latter.

He remembered early that night Hyde phoned him and asked him to meet him at his place. And Sakura came over to Hyde’s apartment as he was told around 8 clocks, and his memory ended after he drank a cup of coffee from the shorter man’s hand. He recalled that the coffee tasted funny, with an extra bitterness to it. That was all he could recall. But what happen next? What Hyde’d given him to drink?

Meanwhile, his lover placed a hand on his neck, and the dark haired realized then that he was also wearing a leather collar, which Hyde immediately tightened around his neck.

Hyde kept on chuckling mockingly, then without any warning he found that there was a leather collar Hyde tightened the clasp of the collar.

~Ohmigod…does he try to kill me?~ Sakura struggled under the shorter man’s body but his limbs was bounded so tightly for him to free himself.

As Hyde tightened his grab for a more couple of minutes, soon almost all of the oxygen inside the plastic bag was gone, used up. The dark haired’s lungs were twisting in pain.

Than Hyde loosened the collar a few notches, and using the dragger he cut a small hole on the surface of the plastic bag, just enough to allow some air to get inside for Sakura gasping for breath.

A few minutes later, Sakura was finally being able to speak. "Hyde…What’re you doing?" he cried to Hyde. "You almost killed me!"

"No…I don’t mean to kill you ne, Sakura chan." Hyde repied calmly."….not yet at least."

"There was something in the coffee you’d given me." Sakura went on." What the hell did you get me to drink?"

"hummm…" Hyde smiled again, like a nasty kid as he opened his left fist and showed the latter some barbiturates on his hand.

"Great….you’d drugged me." Sakura gasped anxiously as Hyde started to laugh madly at his face. "And is that you who tied me up? Why you do it?"

"Because I feel like to, "Hyde smiling, answered simply. "I’m not going to untie it ne…"

"Why-why you do that to me?"

"Reason? There’s no reason…. not for anything actually…but you can’t untie it yourself right? It makes me feel happy." Hyde smirked to the man below. Still using the dagger to draw circles along the older man’s chest.

"But you should know that it’s not funny, let me out!" Sakura tried to move his limbs again unsuccessfully.

"Sakura, do you love me?" Ignoring Sakura’s growl. Hyde asked, not answering the question.

"Yes, so what? Let me out!"

"But what about this Megumi woman?"

Sakura gasped in a difficultly as the woman’s name was mentioned.

"Can you explain to me: what’s going on between that woman and you?"

"…."

"Go ahead Sakura chan, just tell me how can you betroth to another woman when you said you love me!" Hyde hissed.

Sakura frozen at this moment, it was his worst fear. How did Hyde find out about the fact that he had been betrothed with Megumi?

"Hyde…please listens to me first…"

Sakura took a deep breath before he went on."I’m sorry for all of this….I apologize…"

Hyde pressed his fingers against Sakura’s mouth and stopped him from speaking.

"No need to said thing like this ne, I’m not angry with you at all…"

"A wealth life, a good career, a bright future….a fine good-looking social identity. She is the one who can bring you all these…. compare with that kind of rich woman, what am I to you?"

"What right do I have to be angry?"

"Hyde…I know I was wrong…so would you please untie me first?"

"No."

"Gomen ne…don’t say that please, darling?" Sakura had broken out into a chill sweat all over him.

"I want to get out…Hyde just please…"

But Hyde shook his head. "You won’t…Sakura chan, you will remain here forever…"

Sakura couldn’t believe what he’d just heard.

"Let me out of here…I want to get out…"

"No, you won’t." Hyde laid his fingers to stroke his lover’s chest. "You will be there forever."

The dark haired man listened to the musically voice whispering to his ears. His head was still swimming. "Forever?"

"Yes…forever."

"What’s that mean?"

"Why you asking this question, Sakura chan? Is it still not obvious enough? I’m going to make you mines forever." Hyde answered, with an insatiable hunger on his eyes.

Sakura couldn’t say anything; all he could do was shivering slightly.

Hyde shook his head. "No, I can’t. The thought of losing you has already driven me mad ne…I don’t want you to ever have a chance to get away from me any more. So…..there’s no way for me to let you go this time…"

"Please understand….I do all this simply because I love you…."

The shorter man leaned closer to his lover, muttering." I love you so much…I want to climb inside you. I want to know everything hiding under your smooth shin, every single components of you are all I desire…I would love to make them all mines….and I’m going to show you how much I love you…"

Sakura trembling, Hyde’s words really frightened him.

"I do this because I love you…"
