Author's Note: Hello People! Wow, I still feel nervous writing for a new category…

Now, this fic contains non-con, but you won't see anything here detailed or graphic, it will be more of a thing were you get the picture without having to see it… If that makes any sense at all!

If you don't like the idea of this happening to a character, then don't read. Okay? You've been warned!

Also, Hiro and Ando speak Japanese the whole way through, except when I say that they don't…another wonderful sense-filled sentence!

Disclaimer: I own Heroes only in my dream world. In real life however, it's a different story. If I did own Heroes, do you think Adam would be dead?? Basically I own nothing here except the idea for this fic.

"Hiro! Where is he? Where is Adam? I don't see him anywhere; he must have escaped!" a Japanese man said while looking at his friend. Ando's voice was rushed and panicked in his native tongue. His friend looked back at him.

"Hiro! We must find him! He is dangerous!" Ando said again, his voice rising in pitch while his friend looked on.

The friend who still appeared to be suffering from the punch that had knocked him out cold. He had only be up and on his feet for a few minutes, ever since Ando had been able to bring him round and he had rushed outside to look for the now-missing Adam Monroe.

"Ando, calm down. We will find him, all we have to do is look!" Hiro said, sounding more quiet that what he usually would. He was leaning against a nearby wall, with his eyes closed.

"Are you okay?" Ando asked quietly. He was worried about his friend. Yes, he would admit that there were times when he would have happily given Hiro a whack around the head because Ando believed that Hiro was still mad about the whole future-killing…Which was in the future, and Hiro really should know better. Things that he sees in the future can always change. Hiro should have a lot more trust and faith in his best friend, who was always willing to follow him.

Hiro nodded, and slowly prised himself of the wall. "I am fine, Ando my friend. I only have a little headache. We have work to do though. A hero never lets his own pain and suffering stand before him when he has a job to do!" he finished proudly, while Ando rolled his eyes. There Hiro went again with his "Hero speeches", but this time he did have a point. They had unwillingly unleashed a man into the city, and now they must find him before he had the chance to do any harm.

Ando walked over to Hiro. "Are you sure you are okay? We could have a quick rest-"

"No! We must find Adam; we need his help and he could be anywhere!" Hiro interrupted. He began to walk down the dimly-lit alleyway, while Ando hurried to catch up. "He can't have gone far. We just have to look."

Ando nodded, as they reached the end of the alleyway and went round a corner. They both stopped at the corner, as Hiro looked at Ando with a frown.

"We should split up, it will get the area covered faster…" he muttered, while pushing his glasses back. Ando looked horrified.

"Hiro, are you mad? You can barely walk in a straight line and you want to split up? No. I'm not having you wander around by yourself. We're sticking together on this one." He said, and on seeing that Hiro was about to protest, interrupted him with a "I mean it!"

Hiro realised that he had no other choice in the matter and shrugged his shoulders. "Fine. But we must hurry, Ando…" He started to walk away but Ando pulled him back.

"Let's go down this street." Ando pointed around the corner, the opposite to where Hiro had been headed. "Then we know how to retrace our steps if we get lost!"

Hiro smiled. Thank heavens he had brought Ando with him; his best friend was very clever. He nodded to Ando and followed his friend around the corner, not knowing that they were just simply walking further and further away from the man they were seeking.

*************************************************************

He smiled happily, watching the departing figures finally go around the corner and vanish out of his sight. At last he was free again, and now he could do whatever he wanted! The idea was so tempting…

Adam waited for a minute just to make sure that they were not heading back, and after a minute he began to climb out of the bin he had sought refuge in as carefully and as quietly as he could. He jumped down without a sound, and with a grin plastered over his face he began to walk down the alleyway in the opposite direction to what dear little Hiro and his friend had.

He was just so happy that he was free; that he was no longer in the hell-hole that Hiro had placed him in that he wasn't paying attention to where he was going. Which for him was a first, because Adam Monroe usually prided himself on his alertness. But being buried alive for goodness knows how long, and not to mention being forced to die repeatedly of asphyxiation can do that to a person.

He was strolling along the darkened alleyway, past grimy walls sprayed with graffiti now and he was thinking of Hiro as he walked. Seeing the round-faced Japanese teleported standing over him as he lay in that coffin had provoked odd feelings that he couldn't explain. He had been furious to see him at first, but the hatred had died away, infact it had almost gone.

But what had it been replaced by? Adam knew that deep down he missed the friendship that the two of them had once shared, all those years ago in Japan when he had gone by the name of Takezo Kensei. He had never really had proper friends who cared about him and worried for him, not even back then. So when Hiro had shown up and when they had become close friends it had been perfect. They had been partners; him and his carp…Hiro had shown him how to save innocent people from White Beard, but at the same time he had shown him how to save himself. He, who was far from innocent.

But then he had betrayed him. The little Japanese Nazi had gone off with the woman who he loved, and then it had all been ruined. He had lost his only true friend and had lost the ability to love at the same time. Adam had then sworn that he would cause Hiro no end of grief and had sent out to help the world…

And then four hundred years later, he had run into Hiro again. Who had then tried to kill him, found that he couldn't and sentenced him to a fate worse than death. Hiro then brought him to an empty grave in a Japanese cemetery, buried him alive, and teleported away.

Adam stopped in the street when he thought of this. The memories that it brought back, of him screaming to be let out; all the time; when no one could hear him…

Him struggling to get out; clawing at the wood of the coffin lid and feeling his fingernails bend back and break off…

He shuddered at the thoughts in his head. No way in hell did he ever want to have to do that again.

Hiro had then freed him… to ask for his help. Adam had been furious about that -"How dare he ask for my help after what he did to me!"- but now he wasn't anymore. It was strange, and he couldn't explain it.

Well, he had given the teleporter and his friend the slip and he was now free… Finally after all the long and lonely days spent in that coffin thinking about freedom he had it.

He started walking again, but never did make it to the end of the alleyway.

All he knew was that he had past yet another over-flowing bin and had felt pain erupt in the back of his head; everything went violently black… and then no more.

*************************************************************

Ando and Hiro both sighed with frustration. It had been goodness-knows how long since Adam Monroe had fled, and they hadn't seen him anywhere. It was getting later now, and both were thinking the same question - Where had he gone?

Ando looked up into the pitch-black sky, before looking over at his best friend. Hiro seemed to be okay, and hadn't complained of feeling dizzy or anything like that but Ando still felt worried. He knew that there was no love lost between Hiro and this Adam, and he was scared incase Adam had managed to sneak off, find some of his friends and then find Hiro and himself, and attack… the thoughts spun round and round in Ando's head, and he couldn't help but sigh again.

"I am sorry, Ando, for dragging you into this…" Came the voice of Hiro from the opposite wall. Hiro looked like Ando felt, but Ando suspected that Hiro being Hiro, he was secretly blaming himself for losing Adam.

"There is nothing to apologise for!" Ando said loudly to his friend. "Hiro, why do always say sorry when you don't have to?"

Hiro smiled, but he looked sad still. "Oh Ando, I am a terrible hero. I have failed so many people, and now I have failed again…"

Hiro didn't tell Ando that he was also upset because of how Adam had been with him since he had dug him out. True, he had buried him in the first place, but Adam had been so angry with him… Hiro didn't know why he cared so much about this fact -after all, the man was a villain and a murderer; he killed his father and many others- but he simply just did, and there was no way that he could explain it. He wished that it was not so.

He wished that he had never meddled in time when he had, all those years ago in Feudal Japan where he had met Adam, who was then Kensei. He had grown fond of the man, and had thought of him as a close friend. Hiro knew that he had broken Kensei's heart when he had kissed Yaeko under the cherry blossom trees, but he had never really knew just how much he had, not until he had realised that Adam would simply destroy all that he loved in a way for revenge.

The man hated him, and he did have good reason to. Hiro however missed what he had lost, but he knew that it had been his fault,. His fault for everything! If he had just forgot about his affections and feelings for Yaeko, then Adam would have been happy, did what the hero Kensei should have done, and never sworn to destroy the world. He had broken the man's heart, and in doing so had caused him to bury what was left of it so deep that all he felt was hate.

He looked up at Ando, who was looking at him. Ando was his best friend and he would normally tell him anything and everything without a second thought but he had never told him about how it had been his fault that he had made Adam into who is was. Ando would be so angry; so disappointed in Hiro, and would probably live him. Hiro didn't think that he could still losing anyone else, and had decided never to tell him. Never.

"Hiro! You can never say that about yourself again! You are a hero, no matter what… you will always be a hero to me!" Ando said, and made his way towards his friend. He walked up to Hiro and hugged him.

Hiro smiled. He was about to reply to Ando, when he heard something that made him stop in his tracks.

Ando looked down the street they had just walked up. "Did you hear that, Hiro? Someone is crying for help!" he said, sounding scared again.

Hiro muttered "I heard! I heard!" before stopping to hear more screams. They seemed to be coming from the alleyway where they had left; the alleyway where they had lost Adam… Adam!

Hiro stood still, feeling a chill creep down his back. He had heard the screams, or at least, similar sounding ones before… coming from a grave…

Ando looked at his friend, who had appeared to have gone white.

"Hiro? Hiro? What is wrong?" He asked him, feeling frightened. Just what was going on? Ando shivered as the screams started up again.

Hiro looked at his friend with fear-filled eyes.

"I think I know who is screaming for help."

*************************************************************

He moaned, feeling the pain build up in his head. True, he could heal himself, but he could still feel pain. He blinked, and opened his eyes.

He appeared to be lying against a bin on the ground. However, that wasn't what worried him. What did worry him was the fact that a man was standing over him, and he didn't like the expression on his face.

It was similar to one a child would wear when they get a new toy that they have always wanted. This tall man was looking at Adam as if he was a particular new and shiny toy, one he couldn't wait to add to his collection.

"Well, my boy, you've come round…" the deep voice made Adam shiver. "I think you look even more beautiful awake than sleepin', but it's a close call… You're young, and I like the young ones…" There was laughter following that statement. Adam felt like laughing too. This man, who appeared to be in his late thirties actually believed that he was older than Adam.

"I wish I could tell you that you are the boy here…" Adam thought. He wasn't stupid though. He knew exactly what this man wanted. Adam Monroe wasn't naive.

He slowly tried to edge away, but the man abruptly stopped laughing and grabbed him. His grip was like iron, and there was no getting away.

"Where do you think you're goin'?" He hissed at Adam, who kicked out and tried to get away. It was one of those times where Adam wished that he had something like super-strength rather than regeneration for a power.

The man stood heavily on Adam's leg, and there was a loud snap. Adam moaned again as yet more pain spiked through him. This wasn't good…He continued to struggle, but the man punched him twice, making him crack his head off the metal bin.

"You're stayin' here, with me. Me and you are goin' to have some fun together!" Again with the loud and harsh laughter.

Adam shivered again. This really wasn't good…

*************************************************************

"What? Who? Who is it?" Ando cried, as he tried to keep up with Hiro who had suddenly began running. The screams continued, and Ando was no longer scared. Instead, he felt the need to run and help this person… if he could.

"I think… I think…" Hiro couldn't say it. Saying it would make it seem more real. He was running now towards the end of the street, where if they turned the corner they would be back on the alleyway. The place where they had started.

Ando looked at Hiro. "Hiro? Who is it?"

"I think that… I think that it is Adam…" Hiro muttered, pushing himself to run faster. He wished that he didn't have a pounding headache, because he could have simply been able to concentrate and teleport his way over to the alleyway, and not have to run. It would have saved so much time and mean that it could have gotten there quicker…

Ando looked shocked. "How…?

"I recognise the screams. They sound like the ones I heard when I was walking away from the cemetery after burying him there." Hiro answered. "Ando, we have to hurry! I think Adam is in serious trouble!" At his words, they both picked up speed.

The two of them ran as fast as they could, but they each had the feeling that it wasn't good enough.

*************************************************************

Yes, I am going to be evil and make this a two-parter as opposed to a one-shot! xD.

Well, what did you all think so far?

Any thoughts are welcomed!
