A/N: I don't own anything.... Obviously, other wise this would've totally happened in the show :) Anyways, please R&R.

CHAPTER 1

He woke up in a cell. Kit immediately reached for his advent deck, and was surprised when it was still there. He soon realized why: The bars of his cage weren't steel…. "It's called orichalum. It is one of the strongest metals that exists," a voice came from the beyond Kit's prison. "Xaviax," the Kamen Rider spat out the word like it was a poison.

*X*x*X*

Len paced back and forth in the eerily empty apartment, "Where could he be?" he muttered for what had to be the thousandth time that evening.

"Len, if you keep pacing like that you'll wear out the carpet," chastised Kase, "I'm sure he'll turn up."

"Well I'm not," countered Len sharply, "Xaviax has been trying to get him onto his side for months. The only reason he hasn't succeeded is because he can't trick Kit into joining him. If he managed to capture him Xaviax just might be able to break him."

The blonde Kamen Rider looked at her ex-love sympathetically. She could tell that Len cared deeply for his best friend. He cared for him more than he'd ever cared for Adam, or for her when they'd been dating. She tried to reason with him, even though she knew it probably wouldn't work, "I'm sure he can hold on. We can look for him in the morning."

"No," Len replied, "I am going for him now, this instant."

He tried to make for the door but Kase stopped him. Much to her surprise, he fought her grasp; that action alone confirmed her suspicions. Len loved Kit, more than he'd ever loved her,Which, she thought wryly, is kind of a miracle in itself.

She decided to let him go, but on one condition. She went with him.

*X*x*X*

It had been three days.

Three days and there was no sign of Kit.

Three days and Kit wasn't getting any closer.

Three days that was killing them both.
