Okay so there's one story about the same thing but trust me mine is different and is going to be quite long, I'll try to update at least twice a month usually a chapter every 2 weeks since I have a lot of stories on the go right now I don't think I could handle more. Okay now my second though is I'm sure it was rather obvious that Komatsu was going to be taken by someone. Last thing is I'll try to keep the chapters over 1000 words most of the time if I'm enjoying a story it reaches 2000 to 3000 words a chapter.

I hope everyone enjoys this because I'm sure I'm not the only person that was looking for one like this. It ended up being both Starjun and Midora as the main bad characters, I really like Midora after his story and I also really liked Starjun so I thought it would work.

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TORIKO OR ANY CHARACTERS I USE FROM IT.

Chapter 1

***Toriko's POV***

Toriko awoke in a room with 4 other beds and an extremely loud snoring noise; he looked around to see Coco, Sani, and Zebra all injured; and a sleep in the beds. He sat up and was feeling absolutely no pain; he looked down at his body there was nothing wrong with him the only thing he noticed was how exhausted and hungry he seemed to be. He saw Rin a sleep in a chair placed in the corner of the room with bandages wrapping her arms and neck she was clearly still injured pretty bad. Toriko looked at his leg and abdomen; he didn't understand why he wasn't injured at all. From what he could remember Starjun had completely ripped his leg off and stabbed a hole through his chest. The last thing that he could remember was while in his hazy sleep he was sure that he had seen Komatsu attack Starjun with his knife well shaking; then everything had gone black. He didn't know what had happened after that but for some reason he was completely healed now.

Suddenly there was a light knock on the door causing Toriko to look over and Rin to wake from her sleep, she went and opened the door and when she turned around she saw that Toriko was awake and quickly went to him as the visitor came in, "TORIKO, are you okay."

Toriko smiled at Rin, "I'm fine Rin, can you tell me what happened."

Rin looked down and told him all she could handle too, "They left after Starjun and Frohze talked."

Toriko was surprised by the name, "Did you say Frohze? Do you mean that Frohze?"

Rin nodded and then looked away; she knew she wouldn't be able to tell him anything else. She turned and looked at their guest, "Hello, Setsuno-san."

Setsuno came in as calm as she usually would, She looked at Toriko then at Rin, "So your awake. Rin have any of the others woken up yet."

Rin looked down, "Their injuries are really bad so it might take a while longer."

The older women nodded in understanding, "You should go see Mansam; he said he needed to talk to you. I'll tell Toriko about what happened; you don't need to be the one to carry that burden."

Rin nodded and left; she knew she wouldn't have been able to tell Toriko what had happened, Setsuno sighed and then sat on the chair beside his bed, Toriko looked down at the old woman, "What happened? why am I not severely injured? I mean Starjun had ripped my leg off."

Setsuno sighed, "I think Komatsu used a dark technique to save you; I have no idea where he could have learned it, but that's the only answer I can think of since you're in perfect condition after that fight. We found you passed out and you've been out for a few days since the attack."

Toriko looked down and asked the question he knew he had too, even though he was sure he already had the answer, "Where's Komatsu?"

Setsuno sighed again, "After Starjun and Frohze fought over him Starjun took off with him in his possession. Komatsu was passed out with Starjun when I saw him last."

Toriko hit his fist against the bed; he was angry with himself. How was he not strong enough to protect his partner when he had sworn nothing would happen to the small chef. He was sure now that Komatsu had probably gone with Starjun willingly just so he could heal and protect him when he had been beaten. He looked at Setsuno who still clearly had more to say, "What else happened?"

Setsuno looked down, "President Ichiryuu lost to Midora."

Toriko's eyes opened wide in disbelief; was she serious, not only had his partner been taken but the man who was basically his only parental figure had also died during the battle. He looked at the other people still asleep in the room, and then sighed. He stood up out of the bed said his farewell to Setsuno and then he headed outside and started hitting things. This was all he could do to get his frustration out; so he just continued to hit things. He continued to punch things until he got threatened by a now very rudely awoken Zebra. When he knew Zebra was awake he headed back to tell him if he didn't know yet; when he told Zebra that was the first time he had ever seen a painful look on his face before. Even though he tried not to show his care for the old man Toriko knew that Zebra still cared for him the same as he did. Toriko lied back down in his bed, but sat up when he heard Zebra ask the question he didn't really want to answer, "Where's the kid?"

Toriko looked Zebra in the eyes, "He went with Starjun so that he could save me."

Zebra was shocked by that too but he didn't say anything to him about it instead he just sat their eating what food was there. Toriko looked at the food but for the first time in his life he didn't want to eat, he was to upset with himself to feel hungry.

***Zebra's POV***

When Toriko had told him that the kid had sacrificed himself for his partner he was mad at Toriko, and wanted to yell at him; that kid would do anything for his partner and he should have never been given the chance to sacrifice himself. But he couldn't do it; him and Toriko had grown up together and he had seen many looks but never the one Toriko was wearing at that exact moment. Zebra was actually surprised by how sad the man looked. So he let it go; he let his anger go for the time being which was something he had never been one to do, but he knew that the person who was suffering the most from the events that had happened was Toriko. They had all basically lost their Dad but Toriko had also lost his partner too; because of his own weakness, which even Zebra understood would be a terribly feeling.

Zebra sat on the bed in too much pain to move; he was completely exhausted and starving so he was just shoveling food in to his mouth well the other person awake in the room sat their sulking. He looked to his right at Coco who was seriously injured and then at Sani beside Toriko; who he could tell was awake, Sani opened his eyes and just stared at the ceiling, then he heard the mans voice, "Can one of you tell me what happened? I'm in too much pain to move."

Zebra looked at Sani and said it rather bluntly, "The old man didn't make it."

Sani was clearly surprised by that, and then he could see Sani using his fellers to sit up, he looked at Toriko, "What happened to Matsu I told him to go be with you when I saw him on the battlefield."

Toriko ignored him obviously too deep in his current thoughts; Sani looked at Zebra who sighed not wanting to be the one to tell him, "The kid sacrificed himself so he could save Toriko."

Sani looked at Toriko with a 'O' look and then relaxed back down on the bed as Zebra watched his feelers give out.

***Toriko's POV***

Toriko knew that both Coco and Sani had woken up; and that Zebra had explained what had happened to them. Toriko was trying to think about what he did wrong; he was just so weak. He should have known better then to think he was strong enough to protect Komatsu. He just couldn't get up the energy to talk or do anything really he was to angry and upset with himself; so he just continued to stare blankly at the ceiling.

3 hours latter

***Zebra's POV***

He was ready to snap with the depressing atmosphere in the room. He got it that they were upset but they couldn't be this pathetic; he looked at Toriko who was the most depressing of everyone in the room. Screw it he was sick of it all and couldn't take it anymore; he got that they were injured but when had that ever stopped them before; especially Toriko. Usually you'd think he would be the first to say they should go save Komatsu, but he was just acting so pathetic right now. It was sickening to see him like that and Zebra was completely through with it so he did what he knew how to. He said something extremely brutal, "You're all pathetic, I didn't think you were one to give up Toriko, It's not like the kids dead let's just go get him back. I mean that Starjun guy was being a cocky bastard anyways."

***Toriko's POV***

He didn't expect Zebra to be the one to make him get off his ass and do something; but he did and pretty fast, because Zebra was right. They had only taken Komatsu it wasn't like he was dead and if all the kings worked together they could go and get him. They had pasted the old man's test and were all ready for the Gourmet world so what was there to stop them from going to get Komatsu; just trying to get to him would be training for them. He turned sideways, "Are you guys strong enough to go because I can't do this alone."

Zebra gave his trade mark smirk, "You're getting Cocky again aren't you."

Coco looked at him, "No, but if it's for Komatsu I'm sure I can move."

Sani suddenly stood, "If it was for Matsu I would go to the ends of the earth to save him."

They all Smiled as they stood up; they left the room that they were in and headed outside. When they got out the door, there lying down outside were Terry, Kiss, and Quin along with Zebra's giant horse. Also outside was knocking master Jirou who was gently rubbing the hair on terry's head, "Hey, old man Jirou."

Jirou smiled, "Just came to see when you would head out to get Komatsu; I guess you're leaving now then."

Toriko nodded to the old man, "I can't be sitting here well every moment he's with them gets more and more dangerous."

Jirou nodded, and quickly tapped all the kings other then Toriko in certain knocking points, "This should stop the pain until you're basically healed."

Toriko nodded as he jumped on to Terry and the others climbed on to their animals; they all cared a lot for Komatsu and they planned on saving him even if it killed them.

***Starjun's POV***

It had taken a lot for him to convince the boss to leave Komatsu in his care, but he had successfully done it before the chef had woken up. Komatsu's body hadn't taken the trip to Gourmet world well; which was expected after the stress from him using the dark technique on Toriko. Being in gourmet world without the special training was stressful on the body without the extra stress, but he thought it was a better idea to have the chef come along willingly rather than hurting him so he let him heal his friend; luckily the chef passed out after he had used the dark technique which made everything so much easier.

He headed back to his room after the meeting; he was still rather tired from his fight with the blue haired heavenly king. When he opened the door to his large room he saw the chef sitting up on his bed. So he was finally awake; Starjun walked up to him, "Well, how are you feeling."

Komatsu looked at him drowsily, "Not good at all."

Starjun nodded, "That's to be expected; the Gourmet world is a rather stressful place to be."

Komatsu looked like he lost consciousness for a second, and then the smaller opened his eyes again. Starjun handed the younger a cup of water, "Here drink before you get too dehydrated."

Komatsu did as told; which had surprised Starjun he expected the younger to resist more, but he didn't really resist at all. He looked at the smaller and decided to just let him rest he still obviously wasn't better; rather quickly after that Komatsu had fallen back to sleep.

***Komatsu's POV***

He woke up multiple times but never had the energy to stay awake long or really do anything. He knew that it had been at least a week before he could stay awake long enough to even have a decent conversation with his kidnapper. Which wasn't as bad as everyone would think because from what Komatsu could tell Starjun really wasn't trying to hurt him, and he wasn't planning on letting anyone else hurt him either. He had already learned that the safest place for him to be was beside Starjun or Midora after his first little adventure where some people almost killed him. Starjun stepped in before anything really happened and almost killed the people who had tried hurting him. The second time he had been cornered was in a hallway a ways from Starjun's room and Midora must have seen something in him because the man killed the 2 people who had been attacking him and then had Komatsu follow him around for the rest of the day until Starjun returned from his mission. From that day on Komatsu was either with Midora or Starjun at all times, and in a situation where he couldn't be with them he knew not to leave the confinements of one of the 2's locked rooms.

Komatsu kind of felt like he was a small animal being taken care of; he knew that these people had taken him from the people he cared about but honestly the situation could be worse. He could have been shoved and locked in a jail cell like the other chefs that they had been taken that night, but no he had free roam as long as he was with either Starjun or Midora which was for his own safety. Since his arrival he had only had one fight with Starjun who had told him to cook and he flat out told him he wasn't going to do it because they couldn't force him too, and it wasn't because he didn't want to cook; not it was because he didn't feel good enough to yet. The trip had still been very draining from him, and after that they didn't push the subject.

It took him 3 weeks until he told Starjun that he wanted to do some cooking because he felt lost without being able too. So Starjun got him some top rate ingredients and would take Komatsu to his kitchen whenever the younger wanted to go. Usually Komatsu would cook either when he was happy or when he was feeling homesick; he really did miss the others.

***Starjun's POV***
Starjun never tried to use force with Komatsu and the one time he tried he stopped rather fast because he hadn't gotten a very good reaction; he wanted Komatsu to use all of his abilities to cook for him which wouldn't happen if he was forced in to it against his will. So he got Komatsu to warm up to him which wasn't very hard; the small chef seemed to except the truth of his situation rather quickly and adapted to it. The only thing that Starjun didn't except to happen was when Midora found Komatsu and saved him; he's happy that Midora had saved Komatsu because the small chef would have died, but he knew this meant that Midora saw something in the kid just like Starjun had which wasn't a good thing. It meant that if Midora saw the kid cook he would probably make him form a Combo with him which definitely wasn't what Starjun wanted; he wanted Komatsu to himself. Which he had figured out rather fast was rather hard because everyone seemed to not want the kid there; other than himself and Midora.

Starjun was sitting in a chair as Komatsu was smiling well cocking them some puffer whale; when he was done the two ate it and Starjun was surprised even more by Komatsu's ability to make such a low level ingredient taste so good. He looked at Komatsu, "How do you make that taste so much better than everyone else who makes it?"

Komatsu looked up at him curiously, "I just listen to the ingredients voice, and it tells me how it wants to get cooked."

Starjun nodded when he heard the door to the room close he turned to see Midora walking in. The tall man walked over to the table and looked at Starjun, "I came to get the kid you have to leave on that mission we talked about earlier."

Starjun said thanks for the food to Komatsu and then quickly left the room.

***Midora's POV***

He headed to Starjun's kitchen when the two hadn't been in the room. He knew that Komatsu was a chef but he was surprised when Starjun said thanks for the food to him. He sat down across from Komatsu when Starjun left, Komatsu smiled at him, "Do you want some? Sorry never mind you're the boss here so you can get a better chef than me to cook for you."

Midora looked at it and just shrugged thinking it can't be horrible, "I'll have a bit."

He was completely shocked by the first bite he had taken; he hadn't tasted anything with this much emotion and taste in the food since he had Frohze's food when she was still alive. He looked at Komatsu and smiled; he was surprised because he had been cursed to have this never ending hunger since Frohze's death, but the food that the small chef had made actually felt like it was settling his hunger. Midora knew now why Starjun had been so protective of the kid and why the second he had seen him he wanted to protect him. This kids cooking was amazing and he knew then why Starjun had gone to all the trouble to get the kid; his cooking was amazing at such an early level in his career he couldn't imagine how amazing it would be in a few more years and with the right ingredients, he could see this kid having the ability to cook god when they found it.

Komatsu smiled when Midora who never usually showed his emotions smiled at him and said it was good. When they were done eating; Komatsu had cleaned up and then they walked back to the room; Midora said what was on his mind after they were back in his room, "Komatsu, from today onwards you're my Combo partner; although you can still cook for Starjun as his partner you'll also be mine okay."

Komatsu just nodded in disbelief as Midora smiled; he knew the kid was in a combo with a heavenly king, and that he cared about the partnership but it didn't matter because Komatsu was now his and Starjun's combo partner, and there was nothing that was going to change this because there wasn't a person except for maybe jirou who could stop him. Midora would have what he wanted, no matter what it took and Starjun would have to agree with him so no one could stop him.

This one for a first chapter was rather long and the main characters ended up in the end being Komatsu, Starjun and Midora. Well and the 4 heavenly kings were also important. For now this is only T because I haven't decided if there will be relationships yet there might be pairing later and If i have to I will up the age rating.

So I hope that everyone enjoyed, and I had to type this I always wanted to read one about this and the only one available that's good is on hiadus so I made my own version. If I get a few good reviews I'll probably do another chapter, let's say 3 reviews for another chapter by the end of this month. So enjoy, please tell me if you like the idea.

If no one wants me to continue then I won't. Usually even one person giving a good comment will get me to do the next chapter. So anyways enjoy.
