Taken
AN: I own nothing in this story. Please R&R.
Tokiko opened her eyes and noticed that Kazuki's arms were not around her anymore. Standing up the ex Alchemist Warrior walked towards the kitchen and saw her boyfriend preparing breakfast. He smiled when he saw her and motioned towards the table.
"It'll be ready in a moment."
"Thanks. I think I'll take a shower." Kazuki nodded and Tokiko left towards the bathroom. About half an hour later Tokiko emerged from her shower, drops of water still clinging to her skin. Sitting down and taking a bite Tokiko was surprised at how good Kazuki's cooking was. "I never knew you could cook."
"No point in hiding it now I'm a master when it comes to cooking." Tokiko rolled her eyes. "Tokiko…"
"Yes?"
"What are you going to do about your father?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Sorry."
"Kazuki you should never have to apologize to me. I'm responsible for what your life is like now." Kazuki stood up and moved behind Tokiko, wrapping his arms around her neck.
"Thank you. If you didn't give me my new life we wouldn't be together. Sure I've had to fight but I mostly remember the good times we've had and I wouldn't trade it for anything." He whispered this into Tokiko's ear. The girl's face was flushed.
"Kazuki…I really do love you. I know I don't always show it but I truly do. I'm…" Kazuki quieted her with a finger on her lips.
"I know." Then he leaned in and kissed her chastely. Once they were apart he grinned at her. "You don't have to try and explain how you feel about me. We're one, remember? Now what do you want to do with our weekend?"
"I hear the park is lovely in the fall."
Later at the park the couple was walking underneath a row of trees bedecked in red and gold leaves. A river ran swiftly on the left and the sky was very blue. Tokiko sat down facing the river and Kazuki followed suit.
"I'm not going to give up on my father." Tokiko announced. "I'll make him realize that I'm alive. Maybe I should have Bravo come in and explain everything to him."
"That would work. Let's try that this afternoon."
"Alright." Tokiko stood up to stretch when something blazed by on the river's surface, a raft with a single man standing on it, grabbing Tokiko he quickly placed a cloth around her mouth.
"I see it! This girl is your woman. My name is Kurogasa and my master will love having her for supper!" And with this announcement he was off like the wind. Kazuki activated his Buso Renkin and pushed the energy to propel him as fast as he could but it was too late. Tokiko had been taken.
