Author’s Notes: “-sama” is a Japanese honorific that means “master.” I won’t make a habit of inserting a bunch of honorifics in this series, but I just thought it fit.


It had been a mistake to come this way. Yusei realized that now.

Yusei had promised to meet Jack later in front of the broken fountain, but to get to their rendezvous point; one had to pass through the dregs of the Satellite itself. An odd place to meet, but Jack always had a reason for whatever Jack did.

Yusei hated that about the older man, and he hated himself for how blindly he followed him.

Striding elegantly forward, the blue-eyed youth walked like a king on the old cobblestone street in the really old section of the city. He was Fudo Yusei after all; a member of Team Satisfaction, the most powerful faction the Satellite had ever seen. Nothing was closed off to him.

It was getting late and the wind was picking up in a threatening manner as it stirred up both trash and debris. Twilight was such a beautiful time and admittedly quite a dangerous time; the proof in the footfall that suddenly sounded behind him and the sudden pressure that was steadily applied to his arms in increasing ferocity as they were yanked behind his back. It took him a second to realize that he had been seized and another second to what to do next. Hoping against hope it was Jack who was deciding at that moment to be an asshole, he asked in a world-weary tone, “Who are you and what do you want?”

It wasn’t Jack. The unfamiliar voice scalded his ear with his voice. “Fine evening, isn’t it, Yusei-sama?”

Yusei stiffened. “Who are you?” he repeated uselessly.

“Does Gang Wrath ring a bell?”

It did. The gang in question had controlled this territory before Team Satisfaction had forcibly removed them. Yusei had tried in the past not to feel bad for the gang before them who had less than they did when they had overrun their streets and painted them red with violence. Now, this nameless man was an outcast in his own home. In all actuality, Yusei could kill him just for being here, but it appeared this individual was in the position to do the honors first.

Yusei’s voice grew cold despite the situation. “Who…are…you?”

“Does it matter?” A bitter laugh. “I know who you are and that you are alone and that currently I have the upper hand. I could break your neck if I please.” The man’s voice sounded hollow and brittle as if the entirety of his personal well of human emotions had been sucked dry.

Yusei tried his best not to show fear. “As soon as you take your arms away, I’ll clobber you and worse.”

The nameless man whipped him around so Yusei at least could get a good look at his face. Pockmarks and scars surrounded by shaggy blond hair greeted him. He couldn’t be older than eighteen…not a man. A kid then. A kid trying to be a grown up…no different than Yusei himself. He leered at Yusei before throwing him to the ground; bruising his legs and hip in several places. Yusei then found his arms pinned above his head as he struggled beneath his perpetrator.

“What the hell?” he exclaimed before Blondie slapped him across the mouth.

The teen bared his teeth and quite nearly growled. “I’ve lost so much in the past year, Yusei. My gang, my home, my friendships-my life. Now, I want to take something from you.”

Yusei was screaming as soon as the boy’s finger pads connected with his flesh. So. This outcast had decided to humiliate him in the worst way possible. Enjoying the hatred and fear that must have played across Yusei’s face like shadow and light; his attacker sucked in his very breath and blotted out the wintry gray sky. To Yusei’s disgust, he bent down with his pulsing tongue shining as he prepared to invade his very being in an act of supreme perversity when…

CLANG.

The light dimmed from his attacker’s eyes as he was struck unconscious, and Yusei looked up to see Jack standing there with a tire iron in his hand.

It dawned on Yusei to start chewing him out, but instead he fell back weakly on his side and nearly whispered, “Where’ve ya been?”

“Around,” Jack replied cockily. “Came around just in time to save your ass though.”

He groaned. “This…was a bad idea. These people are still pissed. Why did you want to meet here anyway?” Yusei’s voice strengthened with every word.

Jack rolled his violet eyes. “I don’t know the future, Yusei. Besides, you are a fine piece of merchandise.” He grinned lewdly.

Suddenly, Yusei wanted to punch Jack for making a crack like that. Big man Jack always coming to save him with the intention of always wanting to show him how much braver, stronger, and more responsible he was. But, if he were really responsible, would this scenario have happened? Jack’s cavalier ways disturbed Yusei to no end.

Yusei distractedly wondered when it would be his turn to save Jack. From himself.
