Author's Note: AU and probably OOC. Ok, this is for people who are reaaaally into hardcore JoshuaxNeku. And I hope that the storyline is good enough for to be read other than the fact that we all have hormones, female or not. This is my first story, and it was in collaboration with my friend, credit goes to her for most of to "M" rated scene. Enjoy!
Shit, thought Neku. Shit! Shit! He ran as fast as he could, weaving through the trees, panting and out of breath.
Why did it turn out like this? Beat, Shiki, and I were just supposed to take a simple vacation to an onsen, why did this have to happen? If only he could find some place to hide, a place to rest for a while, and wait for his pursuer to leave. However, he would find no such place in the middle of this small forest.
Flashback—
Sheesh, where did Shiki and Beat go? They were right here a moment ago! Thought Neku as he weaved through the crowd of people on the streets. He had come with his two friends on a long weekend to enjoy a famous hot spring resort for a few days. Shiki had insisted on going souvenir shopping, and the boys reluctantly agreed. However, Neku had zoned out and now he had to pay the price— he was lost in the sea of people and had no idea where he came from or where to go next. He decided to leave the crowd to find a place to think. He arrived on a hill just out of the small shopping area and took a seat on the grass. His thoughts were interrupted shortly when someone walked up behind him.
"How're you doing Neku?" said an androgynous voice.
"Could be better… now that you're here, Joshua." Neku retorted, not too surprised because this happened all too often.
"Hee hee, now why would that be?" The voice inquired.
"Gee, I really wonder. After all, old habits die hard, right?" said Neku, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Well, since you are in such a good mood, I have another favor to ask of you!" Joshua said cheerfully as he stood beside Neku.
"Oh Hell no!" Neku immediately said as he stood up; this sounded different from the usual conversations. Joshua ignored him and kept talking.
"You see, I have been thinking a lot about you. A bit too much for my own good actually, so Sanae and I have discussed and decided that I needed to do something about it."
Neku froze, dreading what was coming next.
"But," Joshua continued. "Sanae told me to take care of it myself, and here I am…Hee hee, your face is priceless~"
"Umm…." Neku stuttered, hesitantly, backing away slightly. "So, what did you decide?"
Joshua smirked at this. "I… am going to pound you until your hips give away and you can't walk for the next week."
Neku sputtered. "Wha—?"
"Oh, but I supposed that I should give you a chance to escape your eventual fate, so I am giving you a one hour head start, if you can evade me for two more hours, then you win. However, if I catch you within the time limit, then be prepared…" Joshua said ominously. "Hmm… now it's six o'clock, this game ends at nine, starting… now!"
Neku didn't even have time to think about what had just happened as he bolted the opposite direction. All his senses told him to run away as fast as he could.
Flash Forward—
It had already been about two hours since Neku started running, Joshua would have long begun the chase by now. He heard a sound behind him, not daring to turn around. Neku picked up his speed, and his legs and lungs were burning and tired. He broke out of the forest, and found himself standing in front of a natural hot spring. Half of him was relieved that he had found water, and the other half swore at the fact that he was completely vulnerable in the open space.
There was no way Neku would be able to fight Joshua, not with him being the Composer, and even outside of Shibuya, he still had his powers. Neku decided that it was safe to take a little break; after all, his body was at its physical limit. There was not a sound except the bubbling of the hot spr—
"I found you~ Prepare yourself…"
