NOZUMI! MISSING!

Chapter 1 - The Attack!

A late afternoon, 5 girls was just finishing up at a small shop on the outskirts of the town named Natts Shop. "NOZUMI! WATCH OU-" too late, a crash was herd as the young pink haired girl had crashed into some boxes. This time instead of complaining like the girl normally does she just stood up ignorning the cut on her knee and began cleaning the boxes back up "Sorry Rin, i'm such a clutz" Raising there eye brow Komachi walked over to her "Are you okay Nozumi? your not ... urm..." "Yourself lately is something going on at home?" added Rin as they helped the girl out of the mess.

"Yeah everything's fine, Rin-chan anyway were finished right! i better get home my parents are out of town again on business so need to make them special bento's you taught me how to do!" Smiling like she use to Nozumi walked down the stairs. The girls chuckled and followed after her.

While walking Nozumi noticed Rin with her " Rin don't you live in the other direction?" Rin nodded and smiled to her best friend "We've been friends for a long time Nozumi, i just wanted to make sure you got home safely." Nozumi's smile raised "Thanks Rin well, this is m- RIN WATCH OUT!" Rin was too focused on the man behind her best friend Nozumi had been grabbed then rin had been hit over the head with something and left there in the street passed out.

Nozumi widened as she struggled against the two men, her eyes was puffy from crying after seeing Rin get knocked out. She was now in the back off a Van gagged and bound Afraid, The girl was only 15 and never been in this situation before. Who would want to be kidnapped bound and gagged?. It was dark and she tried to make out the faces of her kidnappers but it was too dark and they was still wearing masks.

Back with her friend, a young man had found Rin bleeding from the back of the head and took her to the local hospital to have it checked out. By time she came too her mother was at the side of her The young man was outside talking to the doctor. When her eye's came into focus she realised it was Nutz her friend. "Rin thank god your okay! what happened?"

Rin held her head trying to remember then it hit her like a ton of bricks instead of talking she tried to get out of bed.

standing up and pushing her back down Nutz looked to Rin "What happened Rin? Your lucky to be here" Rin looked down holding onto his arms and gripped his shirt "I... i couldn't stop them... it was all too fast... i couldn't save her." Mrs. Natsuki looked to her daughter "Rin sweetie what are you talking about?"

Rin looked up to them fully crying "Nozumi! s...she's been taken by two guys... i could only remember one but i felt the second one hit me in the back of the head before i could help nozumi at all. It's all my fault.." sat on the bed and held her daughter "Nutz right?" he nodded " Please Call the police and tell them to come straight to the hospital... i'll call her mother an father." Nutz nodded and walked out to the pay phone, he still didnt fully understand the concept of it all but what ever has gotten them so worked up must be pretty bad. After calling the police they got information and statments off both Rin and Nutz since he was the one that found Rin.

"Alright doctors said you can go home in the morning Rin, it's late try and get some sleep" "But mum! w...what about Nozumi?" asked the concerend red head. looked down then to her daughter "we will find her...but for now get some rest." Nutz had gone back and told coco, Milk and Syrup about what had happened.

Coco sat down on the sofa "We can't sense where she's in danger either unless she's in her pretty cure transformation... " Nutz sighed "Rin seemed really worked up too... i mean she is her best friend but the police here will do there jobs right?" they nodded as milk sat back "i hope she's found soon..."

The next day Rin had been let out of hospital and gone into school her head still bandaged up and a note not to do sports for a few days, 3 girls walked up to her, green haired, blue haired and blonde. "Rin! what happened?" Rin looked to them "you mean you don't know?" they shook their heads.

"Damn cops they must have not released information yet..." she looked down and gripped her bag tightly "Wheres Nozumi?" Asked Komachi. This is when they saw the girls eye's tear up as they sat down in the cafe area"it's all my fault"

Looking to each other then looked to Rin, the older blue haired girl looked to her "what is?" "W...we was attacked last night as i was walking Nozumi home, you know me worried about her getting there safely they...they took her and i was left knocked out on the sidewalk. Standing up "NOZUMI'S BEEN KIDNAPPED!" everyone in the cafe looked to them , even the lunch lady Rin nodded placing a hand to her head tears falling they had never seen there friend cry before. "It's all my fault!"
