A little word from the author: Hello again. This fic is the sequel to my 'The valentine festival' fic. Hope everyone will like it. Well, I'm working now, so I think it'll not be as good as the last I wrote, but I do hope you still enjoy it. Don't forget to review. Thanks!Kidnapped! :
Chapter 1:Who is this?
Yamazaki Tanpopo and Kugyou Kouki were walking in a shopping mall, hand in hand. He patted her hand, "Look! I think this pretty dress suits you best. I'll buy it for you as a reward for putting up so much effort in the Valentine fest."
Tanpopo laughed, "You don't have to. As long as... Ouch!" Someone who was passing by had knocked her down accidentally. That person scurried away without a backward glance, leaving Tanpopo sitting on the floor. Kouki helped her up, "Are you alright? Did that fellow hurt you anywhere?"
As Tanpopo stepped forward, CLACK! and she looked down. It looks like a sort of silver coin at first, then she saw on its one side imprinted a unicorn. Kouki was looking over her shoulder, "What is it?"
She smiled, "Maybe a token of apology from that fellow." She eyed at him from the corner of her eye and slipped it carefully into her pocket. He hugged and together they went into the shop to try on the dress.
At home (Kouki's)...
He was sitting in the living room, listening to the news. Today, Japan's economy dropped dramatically. Many companies were forced to close down and reduced their personnel. (TV showing people shouting for jobs and the unjust decision the company had made.) Kouki was sort of annoy by this sort of news and turned it off. He went to his 'secret garden', there he looked at his plants.
"Did you know I'm so happy that Tanpopo is mine now. My life is full of love," true enough that he was swelled with love, judging by his tone. At the same time, one of the servant walked in and passed him a letter, "Kouki-san, someone sent this to you."
Kouki was shocked to see a warning letter, written: CAREFUL!! by pasting pieces of newspaper and was signed not by name but an animal somewhat looks familiar. This sign. This sign, where did I see this before? That horse-like shape. (A flash of today's incident came to his mind.) Yeah, it was that coin thing that is. It must be that guy that had pushed down Tanpopo this morn. He quickly called up Tanpopo.
Tanpopo had just finished her bath and was taking her clothes to the washing machine. CLINK..KLIN...LINN!! The unicorn imprinted coin rolled out onto the floor. She bent down to pick it up, rubbing it on her sleeve to clean it from dust. Whoa, this is beautiful. I wonder who is it from. Kouki or that guy? If this is from that guy, it might be important to him. But it is from Kouki... But I don't think this could be from that guy, such an expensive thing.
Ring! Ring!...
"Hello, this is Tanpopo. Kouki-kun? Why are you calling me at this late hour?" (The following speech is also Tanpopo's.)
"Someone sent you a warning letter?"
"Do you know who is it?"
"It was the same shape imprinted on the coin?"
"Kouki-kun, you gotta be kidding? Throw it away? No, I can't. It have to be returned to that person."
Tu...Tu...Tu... The phone had cut off. He's being unreasonable. Just a letter and it scared him off like this. Such a coward.
At school, Kouki brought the letter along, stomping into the class. Saionji and Kyogoku were surprise to see Kouki this angry. Tanpopo on the other hand was chatting happily with the other gardening committee members.
Since the valentine fest, many students were attracted to join in the club. He strode across the classroom towards Tanpopo. Many eyes were following his moves, some even think that a show will be put up and paying even more attention to it instead of chatting away.
"Tanpopo-chan, have you throw it away?"
"What's with you? Can't you see that I'm busy talking to my new members?" Tanpopo replied hotly, still feeling annoyed by last night's call.
"Tanpopo, please listen to me. I'm serious, look at this," he quickly took out the letter, "It was sent to me yesterday night."
Tanpopo took a quick glance, "Look it's not the same. This one doesn't even have a horn on its head. Someone must be playing a joke on you." She stomped out of the classroom. Kyogoku hurried behind her with Saionji along,"Yamazaki!" "Tanpopo, wait up!"
Kouki was stunned by her action. 'Someone must be playing a joke on you,' kept ringing in ears.What's wrong with her? This is serious. Or was it a joke? Boy, you gotta be kidding. She might be right that this must be a practical joke someone played on me. He headed off to chase after his princess.
At the computer class,
Kouki was sitting a few seats away from Tanpopo, least she is not avoiding him now. He was trying to send Tanpopo an apology e-mail, then suddenly popped up a mysterious message: A horn is to defend or attack. Be careful!
Kouki was getting fustrated and deleted that message. Ignoring it totally, he tried to work on the message he is going to send.
-- Tanpopo, forgive me. U r right, some1 must b playing a joke on me. I'm sorry I shoudn't shout at u tis morning.
-- Right, u r forgiven, but...
-- But wat?
-- Go on a date wit me
-- No problem!! ;-P !
"Yahoo! I'm forgiven!" He stood up and shouted. The class was looking at him with shock and the teacher trying to pull back every student's attention.
At coffee house on a bright Sunday,
"Sorry, I'm just worry about you," Kouki explained. Tanpopo laughed,"I understand."
"You understand? Then..." Kouki was surprise.
"Well, that's why I forgive you so quickly. You know I'm so scare that you don't want me as your girlfriend anymore."
"YOU! You play a trick on me? So that letter..."
"Aye, but that letter. I didn't send that kind of letter to you. Aren't you playing a trick on me too?"
"No. I wouldn't do that."
"So, who sent it? And that coin..."
"It must be that person who really knocked you off! Did you know him?"
"No." The two were left to wonder who is behind this while there was another person sitting nearby watching closely, his fingers were flipping a coin like the one Tanpopo got.
To be continued...
