Chapter 22: Chapter 21: Hopeless Situation
"What's this?" Ryuji took a step back and asked calmly.
Karuizawa refused to answer, and Ryuji could see her desolate, lonely back tremble in grief. His eyes softened as he turned her around and forced her chin up.
Karuizawa glared at him but her eyes were full of mockery.
Not towards him.
But herself.
"Don't worry, I'm different than them. I won't cause you much pain." Ryuji cupped her tear-stricken cheek with his left hand. Her soft skin along with the coolness caused by the tears aroused Ryuji. She took really good care of herself.
"You're scum! Just, J-Just like them!" Karuizawa felt her bottled emotions well up as she saw the pity in Ryuji's eyes. It made her extremely angry.
How dare he!
How dare he look at her like that while being the one causing her grief!
"There's no point, Karuizawa." Ryuji shook his head, "I'll do what I want and you can't stop me. Of course...you can report me to the school and you'll be free from me."
Suddenly, he leaned closer and his warm breath trickled into her ear.
"But then what? I might be expelled, even put in prison for a little while but I'll get my life back to normal soon, remember we're still not adults legally, that's why dared to bully you in middle school. The law is lax against those under 18 of age...What about you? You'll face hell for another three years, Karuizawa."
Ryuji paused, letting his words sink in.
"What'll your choice be? Humiliation by a single person unknown to everyone else, keeping your status... Or humiliation by a group of people with everyone ignoring you like before?"
"I h-hate you... I hate you!" Karuizawa broke down, sobbing as she wiped her tears, however, her tears came faster than she could clean them, making her face a mess.
Ryuji pulled her hand and forcefully pressed his lips on hers.
The contact made Karuizawa freeze, her heart beating at a thousand miles an hour. She froze as he grabbed her head and pushed his lips further in. She raised her arms to push him away but no amount of force worked.
He seemed skinny but his strength wasn't something she could contend with.
Her resistance began to fade as despair overwhelmed her. Even in her worst times, she had never faced sexual assault. The girls who bullied her never went that far. The worst had been forcing her to confess to unknown boys.
But who in school didn't know her situation? Who would dare take her confession seriously and even try to touch her? No one in middle school had the courage.
She could feel his grip on her body grow tighter. His warm lips sucked on her own soft lips. Her first kiss was gone like that. The life in her eyes slowly began to fade, shifting into a blank look.
Ryuji kissed her, he explored every part of her mouth. Karuizawa didn't even bother to stop or resist as his tongue mapped the inside of her mouth. The invasion of privacy left her trembling in disgust.
"You're so beautiful..." Ryuji couldn't help but mutter as he separated from her and pushed her onto the bed. Karuizawa's heart lurched at his words. She didn't dare to look into his eyes, fearing she'd see the madness she saw earlier.
She panted, breathless from the forced but sensual exchange. Her body felt weird.
Whenever she remembered the past and her bullying the pain she endured would follow suit.
But for some reason this was different.
She could feel his hands crawl over her body. Her shirt had been thrown away and she lay helpless on his bed, only her bra covering her most sensitive skin. His hands circled around her breasts but he never squeezed, his hands hovering but never touching.
Instead, they began to rise again before cupping her cheeks. Ryuji kissed her again. She pulled away but he held her in place. They separated several times but each time he'd dive back into her mouth.
A weird feeling began to overtake Karuizawa's body. She did her best to resist it. She did her best to be as unresponsive as possible. She did her best to mentally prepare herself for pain and humiliation but he was... he was just kissing her.
His touch over her face was soft and his kiss invasive but arousing. He flicked her tongue, licking her lips and even pulling on her tongue with his own lips.
It was incredibly sloppy, nothing like she had imagined kissing to be.
Involuntarily, Karuizawa felt her body heat up. Her mind went blank. A deep sense of loathing towards herself had begun to emerge inside her heart.
She couldn't believe it.
His touch...
...It felt good.
NO!
Karuizawa screamed, but no sound escaped, her lips trapped by his, their mixed saliva trickling down her chin. Her heart was racing, she wanted to breathe, she needed to breathe.
But Ryuji was relentless. Karuizawa looked into his eyes and her heart trembled. His gaze didn't have the predatory look she imagined, nor did it hold the cruelty she was used to seeing.
Those who bullied her in the past always looked at her with jubilation, as if she were their toy to break and throw away whenever.
But Ryuji's actions held a sense of possessiveness as if he couldn't bear to let her go.
I can't believe this... I'm being raped and I'm... I'm feeling happy about it.
Karuizawa felt her eyes moisten in disgust at her own thoughts. Tears began seeping out of her eyes again but Ryuji was quicker, he didn't let them fall and instead licked them away.
"It's bitter," He commented looking down at her. Her snowish skin was flushed red and the corners of her eyes were glistening red. Her hair was haphazardly sprawled behind her.
She looked absolutely breathtaking.
Perhaps it was because of her past or maybe because she was his first woman in this world, Ryuji didn't bother mentally torturing her.
She wouldn't dare talk about this to anyone in the first place.
It was unnecessary.
"Do you understand now, Karuizawa?" Ryuji spoke, sitting on top of her.
"I..." Karuizawa muttered, "I won't ever give in to you! You can do whatever you want but I'll never stop hating you! I hope you die a dog's death! I hope you... hic hic..." Even as she hurled insults at him she couldn't bear it and burst crying.
Maybe she had realised, she would never be able to live a peaceful life. Whether it was her middle school or high school.
Her fate had never changed.
She had just gone from belonging to numerous hands to only one hand.
Ryuji didn't bother comforting her. Even if his actions weren't particularly brutal it wouldn't change the fact he was raping her.
He undressed, throwing his shirt away.
Karuizawa turned her head away, embarrassed and angry.
After about 3 weeks of gym and a controlled diet (a dangerous cut), Ryuji had lost about 3.9kgs (8.5lbs) with about 1kg (2.2lbs) being water weight bringing his overall weight to 66kgs (145lbs) at 175cm (5'9).
Too much cardio and excessive restriction allowed him to lose the stubborn belly fat and while he still lacked abs, his chest, back and arms had a little bit of development.
Ryuji was sure that once he upgraded his physique his muscles would increase automatically. That's why he bothered with the dangerous diet and the excessive cardio that impacted him somewhat negatively.
He wouldn't allow imperfections on his first Blackmail.
He forced Karuizawa's hands apart and unbuckled her bra before throwing it away, causing Karuizawa to cover her breasts with her hands.
Ryuji didn't tear them away again and instead stared into Karuizawa's trembling pupils.
Karuizawa flinched and after a few seconds of silence, she turned her head to the side and...
...lowered her hands obediently.
