WITH THE ANS

Yao was currently laying in the infirmary wing of the ANS. The captain came in his room and sat down in the chair next to him. Yao looked up to her with a pained expression. "You have to save him…" Yao told her. "Where is he? Do you know?" She asked. "I… I don't remember…" Yao said sadly. "How about, who took him? Or who captured you?" She continued. "No… I don't remember anything!" Yao yelled holding his head. "It's OK." She said reassuringly. "We will find him." She finished. "I know something bad is going to happen," Yao began. "You need to find him fast. He is in danger, I know it!" He told her. "You rest." She said laying him back on the bed by pushing his shoulder down. "And before you know it, Kiku will be back in your arm's." She said with a smile. "Please bring my little brother home to me." Yao said drifting off into sleep. "I will. I promise." And with that she got up and left.

BACK WITH KIKU

Kiku blinked his eye's a couple of time's to wake up. He shot up in alarm when he saw this wasn't his room. He looked around the well furnished room to spot a small table in the middle of the room. He swung his skinny leg's over the bed side and slipped his wooden platform shoe's on and walked over to the table. There was a plate of food there with tea and a note. Kiku sipped the tea but refused the food. He picked up the note and read it.

Morning sunshine ~!

Hurry and eat! And then look in the wardrobe to the left and put it on alright? Oh By the way, don't worry about your sword. It's in a nice clean spot. When you finish dressing, come down the stairs and into the living room OK?

Sincerely and Forever Your's,

Arthur Kirkland

Alfred F. Jones

Kiku looked all around the room for his poor Kanata. He had received it from his mom who was dieing in front of him when he was fourteen. With her last breaths she had told him, 'Go to the ANS. They will care for you. Take my sword so they know who you are. Revenge me Kiku. I L-love you, Kiku.' then she put on a small smile and died. Kiku Held back tears as he thought about it. His mother's soul was in that sword. He always feels her presents around him when wiled. He wanted it Back Now. He busted the door open and sped down the stairs. When he made it to the living room, Alfred went to greet him, but Kiku cut him short. "Give it back." He said sternly. "Give what back?" Arthur said with a smirk. "You know damn well what." He said threw his now gritted teeth. "Give me my Kanata back, now." Kiku hissed. "Give me one reason why I should." Alfred said. "Because… Because…" Kiku's face softened and frowned. He blinked back tear's. "No reason huh?" Arthur said. "Maybe we should throw it away." Alfred said. A tear fell from Kiku's eye. He fell to his knee's. "Wha-" Kiku interrupted him with a sob. "Please give it back… It's more special to me the anything… Please let me have it back…" Kiku sobbed. "Please!" Kiku shot his head up and looked them in the face's. "It's the only thing I have left of her…" He said with his head down quietly. "Of who?" Arthur asked. "M-my… Mother… She died giving it to me… please…" Arthur and Alfred looked at each other with pained expressions knowing they hurt him by taking it. Arthur got up and walked to the back. He came back with Kiku's sword and handed it to Kiku. Kiku's face brightened when he saw it and took it from him. "Thank you Thank you Thank you…" Kiku held it close to him as if It was his life. Which it kinda was. Kiku was still sobbing but now with relief. Then suddenly he felt dizzy. His vision was blurry and was crossing. Then it hit him. 'That tea was drugged!' He thought hazily falling to the floor. He was unconscious on the floor. Arthur and Alfred knew he would be out for a while. Now was the time. Arthur picked him up bridle style. Kiku still held on to his Kanata. Alfred opened the door for Arthur. They walked out of the house to a truck. Arthur laid Kiku in the back seat and seat belted him. Then he got in the driver's seat as Alfred got in the passenger seat. Then, the three sped off to a new place.
