"Great! The tracks ended!" Zero snaps, irritated.

"No... if you look closely, someone just rubbed them away! But didn't do a very good job..." Angel observed.

They start following the broken trail and see a small cave far from them.

"Think that's the place?" Aido asks and everyone nods in agreement.

Eventually, everyone gets to the entrance of the cave.

"Alright, everyone ready?" Zero asks.

"Ready for what? We don't even know what it is or if it is in there-" Kaname says but is interrupted by a rock thrown at him.

"Will you shut up!? He will come back any time now and may I say that he is nuts!?" Ichi yells at them. They turn and she her chained to a wall, her weapons nowhere to be found.

"What happened?" Zero asks as he tries to break the chains.

"Mr. Crazy -I-won't-say-my-name knocked me out, took my weapons and chained me to a wall! That is what happened and he took off," Ichi rants.

"Wow, he sure sounds like a gentleman!" Angel remarks sarcastically, helping too. Soon, Ichi was free, but still had the shackles on her wrists.

"Oh, uh... sorry! Not sure how to get those off.." Angel says meekly.

"Meh, don't worry about it. Maybe Mr. Crazy could get them off! Huh, NOT!" Ichi jokes.

"Oh really? I don't think so! Stay where you are!"

"Ah! It's you! So you decided to show your face! Care to help me out of these or shall I have my friends tear you apart?" Ichi barks, everyone turning around to see the captor.

"Ha! Do you really think that they'll possibly be able to manage me?" The man snarls.

"Yeah, that's why I said it!" Ichi retaliates before pouncing the man and scratching his neck and face but was thrown off with ease.

"Ah! Ichi!" Angel cries out, running to her side.

"Ow... hey, don't worry, I'm fine," Ichi reassures.

"Ah ha! How weak," The man says, getting up with ease. "Hehehe... Angel, how've you been?"

Angel only growled in response.

"What?! Angel! You know this psycho?!" Kaname asks.

"Grrr..! That's not important right now, YOU DOLT! AGH! DO SOMETHING!" Ichi hollers, enraged. Zero pulls out his gun and aims dead at the man's heart.

"How do you know Angel?!" He demands through clenched teeth.

"Oh, it's not only her I know. You see, not only do I know her, I am her half brother. I am also acquaintances with Ichi's parents," The man says. Kaname, Zero, Yuuki, and Aido gasp.

"Oh you're that lunatic that comes over sometimes!" Ichi says, her face full of recognition.

"Why are you doing this?!" Angel cries out.

"Why, to bring you to me, of course! And apparently, my plan worked!" The man grins wickedly. Zero gasped.

"So your plan was to attack the schoolgirls, and by doing so would get us to come after you? Just so you could get a hold of Angel?!" He snaps. "That's sadistic!"

"I told you guys that he was nuts!" Ichi yells.

"So now what?! You going to take us hostage?!" Angel shouts angrily.

"No... I'M GOING TO TAKE YOU HOSTAGE!" The man bellows, suddenly changing shape and charging at Angel.

"AGH!"

"Zero, give me any weapon you have!" Ichi yells and Zero tosses a knife to her. But it was too late.

The man, who had just become something else entirely, was long gone through the woods, Angel in his custody.
