There were three things I was absolutely positive about. One was that Takanori sees me as his cousin that was killed and will do anything to keep Akira away from me. Two that Akira had something big in stored for me and Ruki and we might be getting a taste of that very soon. And three, I am uncontrollably, unconditionally in love with Takanori.
Later, Ruki and I met in the practice room, it was raining outside so it made me really depressed. I sat on the floor with Ruki waiting for the others to arrive. They were a half hour late and Ruki isn't really known to be the patient on in the band.
"Where is everyone?" He asked angrily, I looked down sad.
"I'm sorry, Ruki. There'll be here soon."
"They'd better be." Just then the door opened and the rest of the band entered.
"What took you guys so long?" Uruha smiled, "Sorry, I woke up and Aoi was taking too long in the bathroom. But I don't know why Reita's late."
"I was doing more important things." Ruki looked at him like he was about to punch his face in.
"Really, more important things? Let me guess sleeping with that slut of yours, right?"
"You shut up, you stupid little piece of shit!"
"Guys stop it, please can we just practice." Reita looked at me with a cold, dead stare. I jerked and looked away quickly going over to my drum set. He walked in front of me and looked at me.
"Yutaka, I love you." I looked up at Akira confused. I didn't know what do to or to say. I felt like I was going to throw up.
"Don't you love me back?" 'I-I don't know, I have to think about this." I held my head and sat down, a familiar headache came back to haunt me again. He sat next to me.
"What is there to think about?" Ruki walked over with his arms crossed.
"He's probably thinking about, whether he wants to stay safe with me or go back to being beaten by you." I heard Uruha gasp and felt both Aoi and Uruha stare in our direction.
"What? Akira you used to hit Kai?"
"No, I did not. Ruki is just jealous because loves me and not him."
"Really, he can't even be within five feet of you, what makes you think he loves you." The headache I had was getting worse, I wanted to just lie down and die. Instead, I blacked out.
~~~Three hour later~~~
I woke up in Ruki's arm but everything was dark, I couldn't even see my hand in front of my face.
"Ruki?"
"Hm?"
"Where are we what's going on?"
"Don't worry about it okay." Then I realized the voice that was talking didn't sound like Ruki at all.
"Akira?" No sound escaped, but the grip around me tightened.
"Akira, please let me go."
"Why? So you can leave me again."
"Akira, please I don't want to be here, I want Ruki."
"He doesn't love you."
"Yes he does."
"He wouldn't have let me take you home if he loved you." I tried to break out of his hold but he threatened to hurt me if I tried to leave. I felt him reach over and turn that light on, we were in our bedroom. So many horrid memories started to come back. He started to rub my head, and told me it was going to be okay. He pushed me off to the side and got up from the bed.
"Go make me something to eat." He went into the bathroom to take a shower.
"Okay." I got up and went to the kitchen. There wasn't anything I make because he never goes to the store and buys anything. As I was making him something to eat he sneaks up on me. I jump as he puts his arms around my waist.
"Akira, please let me make you something to eat."
"Go ahead I'm not bothering you."
"Yes, you are I can't focus with you holding me." He knocks the pan full of hot food onto the floor.
"Hurry up and clean this mess, you stupid clumsy idiot." He walked away, my hands were burnt from trying to pick up the hot food.
After I cleaned up I realized Akira went out and bought something to eat. He sat down by the T.V. and started to eat his food. I came by and sat down on the couch, I could feel my stomach growling. I was starving, "Are you hungry?"
"Yes, I am."
"Then go in the kitchen and make yourself something to eat!" He got up with his food and went into the bedroom. I sighed and went into the bathroom to take a shower. I turned on the water and as cold as possible and sat down. I pulled my knee up to my chest and started to cry.
I wish I was dead, and I wonder where Ruki is. Wait. Where is Ruki, I can't remember what happened before I came here. I got out of the shower and put the same clothes on. I went into the kitchen and grabbed the phone and hid in the closet. I called Ruki to see if he was okay.
"Hello?"
"Ruki? It's me Kai."
'Kai! Oh my God are you okay? Don't worry I'm coming to get you."
"Wait what happened to me how did I get to Akira's place?"
"You passed out so we called an ambulance but, Akira said he could get to the hospital quicker on his Harley. We agreed to let him take you and he told us which hospital you were at but when we got there they didn't have you signed in. We called the police because we thought Akira kidnapped you but he just took you to his place. I'm coming to get you okay there's a search party out for you."
"Oh my God. How will you be able to get me?"
"Don't worry about that, I'll take care of that."
I hung up and opened the closet door to see someone in front of me.
I looked up, "So, Ruki thinks he's coming to get you?" He grabbed me by the arm and pulled me up and carried me over his shoulder. I started to scream hitting his back. He carried me outside to his car. He put me in the back seat. I tried to fight but he hit me in the head and I just gave up. He closed the door and got on the drivers' side and started to car. I soon passed out. Again.
~~~Ruki' POV~~~
I told Uruha what was going on and told him to go see Akira and talk to him. While Aoi and I try to sneak Kai out of the apartment but, unfortunately that wasn't the case. When Uruha got he said that Akira wasn't there and Kai was gone too. He also saw that Akira left a note.
"I know you guys maybe looking for us, but we're okay and we wanted to tell you that we've decided to quit the band.
We feel that we can't accepted and I'm being accused for hurting my new Fiancé. He wouldn't have left with me if I was beating him. So, I love all of you guys and so does Kai."
Sincerely, Akira
So, we decided we'd go looking for Kai ourselves. Aoi was driving to a place where Akira would most likely take Kai.
Their first trip together, "Naruko, Miyagi; there's an onsen up there that they went to a couple years back maybe he's in that area."
"No, that's too easy he might have went back to Kanagawa." Uruha was in back crying softly, he couldn't believe that his best friend would do something like this and he hopes Kai is still alive.
"Do you have any idea where they might be, Kouyou?" He shook his head and more tears came down.
"Damn, what are we going to do if we don't find Kai in time." I looked at Aoi and felt like punching him the face.
"Don't say that! Don't you ever say that! We will find him." He sighed and stopped the car in a random parking lot.
"We'll, if we're going to save him we have to have some lead on where they are." "Your right." Kouyou sniffed, " The only person he would tell anyone something like this besides me is Saga."
"From Alice Nine? Why the hell would he tell him anything?"
"Because to tell you guys the truth he's the only other person Akira can trust if all else fails." I felt even angrier, if Saga knew something he has to tell us. "Alright, we'll go see Saga." They both nodded in agreement and went back into the car. I drove back the other way to see Saga.
~~~Kai's POV~~~
I cried in the room Akira put me in. I had no idea where I was and how to even get out. I heard a door open from outside the room I was in. I could hear footsteps approach the door. I started panicking, I was scared. The door opened and Akira and someone else was at the door I couldn't see who it was. There was only a little bit of light, just enough to see Akira's face.
~~~Ruki's POV~~~
We made it to Saga's place hoping he was still there. I knocked on his door hoping it was him that would open. The door opened but it wasn't Saga it was Shou. He looked like someone just threw a ton of bricks at him.
"Ruki? Uruha? Aoi? What are you guys doing here?"
"We need to talk to Saga." He closed the door just a little bit so we could only see half of his face. He looked like he was trembling and I could tell he had a black eye and a bruise on his head which reminded me of Kai's.
"He's not here. Now please go!"
"Uh, No we're not going to leave. Do you know where he went?"
"No, please just go. I can't talk to you now." Just as he was about to close the door Aoi pushed it open.
"Are you hiding something from us?"
He looked scared as ever, I felt sorry for him. Saga must have been hitting him to.
"No, I'm not please just go. I don't know where Saga is!" I could see he was crying now. Uruha walked over to him and gave him a hug.
"Shou, I know you're scared but we really need to know where he is."
"No. No, I'm sorry I can't."
"Shou, please look at me we can get you out of this if you just tell us where Saga is." He nodded and asked us to come in. We sat down on the couch and discussed what was going on. He hesitated but, he took a deep breathe and began to talk.
"Saga said that he and Reita we're going to Okinawa to do something."
"And what are they doing?" I asked, his voice sounded shaky and he looked as if he were about throw up.
"I don't know, he never told me."
"We'll do you know where in Okinawa?"
He shook his head, "I don't know." He sniffed as if he were about to cry. Uruha sat next to him, "Shou has Saga been hitting you?" He sniffed again and tears came down, he nodded. "Did he ever threaten to kill you if you told anyone where he was going?"
He started cry, Uruha pulled him in an embrace. He rubbed his back, I felt really sorry. We shouldn't have came knowing that Shou was in an emotional wreck. Aoi sighed, "We need to get going, Okinawa is 8 hours away if we want to get Kai."
Shou's head lifted up, "Reita took Kai?" I nodded wishing that it was a lie. "Yeah, he did and we need to get him back."
Aoi got up, "So, that's why we have to leave."
Uruha looked at him angrily, "we can't leave Shou. What if Saga comes back?"
"Well, the guy hasn't given us any useful information."
"That doesn't mean we have to leave him here, Shou is obvious is scared out of his mind."
"Uruha is right Aoi we need to get Shou out of here."
