Chapter 3 (Ishigami's Ending)

Aira sat at a café reading a book, enjoying the breeze. I let out a sigh. It had been 8 months since I took off sudden for Seoul, Korea. I felt better. I took a few classes, and did a lot of volunteer work, and forgot about Ishigami.

Deep down I felt a pang of regret, but now wasn't the time to dwell on that. I still had a few days before I was returning back to Japan. I had contacted the café owner and my apartment's leasing office after I left and explained things properly; the owners both said I could come back anytime.

After a few days I was back on a plane to Japan. It felt good to be back. I headed to my apartment and picked up a key from the leasing office. The lady told me they had been in a few times to clean it. I decided to grab a shower and freshen up after my trip before heading to the café.

After I got out of the shower I was drying my hair. I was startled by a sudden noise, but I assured myself it was only the neighbor's leaving their apartment, after all nobody had a key except me. I wrapped the towel around myself and headed to my room.

Walking out of the bathroom I was met with resistance. "Huh?" I thought and looked to see what I ran into. The blood drained from my face, inside my apartment was Ishigami, and I was standing there in nothing but a towel.

"Eek!" I let out a cry. Equally surprised he jumped back.

"Aira!" He let out a gasp after several seconds. He went to pull me in an embrace when he realized what I was standing there in. Both our faces flushed with embarrassment.

"Get out!" I screamed.

"I'll wait for you in the living room." He turned on his heel.

I hurried to change and stormed out to the living room.

"What do you think you are doing coming into my apartment uninvited?" I raised my voice in frustration.

Ishigami sat on the couch calm and composed.

"Your place?" He asked, "I think you are the one breaking and entering. Who do you think paid the lease while you were gone?"

"Nobody asked you!" My face was red with fury. I turned to storm out, but I was met with resistance as he sudden embraced me.

"I'm so glad you are okay." His voice had turned gentle. I shuddered. I had worked so hard to build up an emotional wall against him, but it all came tumbling down when I looked at him and saw him with a smile on his face.

"Please let me go." I protested.

"Tell me where you were, and then I'll think about it."

Luckily for me his phone rang, he switched into work mode and immediately let me go.

"Yes I'll be right there." He spoke into the phone. Once he hung up he turned to me, "I have to go, but I'll be back later."

After I heard the door close my knees gave out and I crashed to the floor. All my hard earned resolve crumbled, my heart stung. After what felt like eternity I was able to pick myself up and head to my job at the café.

"We are short handed, "the café owner explained to me, "care to help out?"

"Ah. Well I was planning on buying a new cell phone, but…" I cut myself off, I wanted to get my mind off Ishigami.

"I'll buy you one." Someone said behind me. I turned around to be met with another familiar face.

"Go… Goto!?" I stuttered.

His eyes got real big. "What?"

I was surprised at his offer, "You'd do that for me?"

"Have my coffee ready for me by the time I get back." He turned and left.

A little while later he returned with a new phone for me. He paid for his coffee and left.

Somehow I had a suspicion that there was a reason for him buying me a phone. I put that thought in the back of my mind and continued working.

At the end of my shift, I exchanged phone numbers with a few of the staff and the café's owner. I noticed 3 phone numbers already in my phone. Goto had not only put his number in, he put Kurosawa's and Ishigami's in as well.

I frowned at the thought of seeing Ishigami again, my heart couldn't take it.

"Hey Aira are you done with work?" A voice said behind me. I turned to see, Kurosawa smiling at me.

"Oh hey." I said casually.

"Goto told me you were back. Do you have a minute to talk?" Kurosawa said.

"Sure." I followed him out. We walked in silence to a park near by my home.

"Welcome back." He said.

"Thanks." After a few minutes of silence, "What did you want to talk to me about?" I asked.

"Goto told me you were back. I don't think Ishigami knows yet, but I wanted to talk to you before you saw him."

"Too late." I started to blush thinking about my encounter with him.

He pretty much ignored me and continued talking, his face was serious.

"He's been weird, like really weird. He's been so worried about you. I don't know why you left, but you changed him."

"Don't be foolish." I snapped, "Good night Kurosawa." I quickly got up and almost ran back to my apartment.

I laid face down onto the couch as my body shook trying to hold back the tears. "I can't take this anymore!" I screamed into the couch. The cushion muffled my voice. "I still…"

I felt a hand on my head and I jumped, "Eep!" My heart was beating a mile a minute. "Wah… you're not Ishigami!"

I could barely stay conscious as I was bound, blindfolded, gagged, and thrown into a trunk. I began to slip away into darkness.

When I awoke I was on the cold concrete ground of what looked like an abandon warehouse. My eyes darted around before I finally started to stir. It looked safe to sit up. My hands were no longer bound, but my feet were now tied together, and I had a chain around my neck.

"You're finally awake." I heard a girl's voice say to me.

"How long was I out for?" I asked.

"Beats the hell out of me, I just woke up here too." She stated.

I looked at the chain around hers and my neck, it was some sort of contraption if she or I moved too far one way it would choke the other person.

I started shaking as I hugged myself, "What kind of sick pervert put us here, and why?"

"Don't worry so much, I have a team of body guards, and my boyfriend is a cop, they will come for me."

I started to sob.
