Alfred was staring out the window of the meeting room. He was worried about Kiku. It had been three weeks since he last saw him. He wondered if he ran off or worst got captured by somebody. Alfred sighed, causing Arthur to look over at him.

"Alfred! You need to pay attention!" Arthur yelled making Alfred jump.

"Ah... Sorry," Alfred said, looking down sadly. Arthur was always yelling at him.

"What is wrong with you? You seemed more spaced out today," Arthur said as he walked over. Alfred just looked at him.

"I found this boy with cat ears and a cat tail a few weeks ago. I haven't seen him in a few weeks and I'm worried about him," Alfred said. Arthur just stared at him.

"There's no way I can believe that. Tell me the truth Alfred."

Alfred growled and stood up.

"I am telling the truth! Why do you never believe me!?"

"Because your stories are to crazy to believe Alfred."

"Whatever! I'm going home earlier, I need to find Kiku," Alfred said as he walked toward the door. Arthur sighed, knowing there was no way to reason with the stubborn man.

"Alright. See you tomorrow Alfred."

"See ya," Alfred said as he left. He went to the shed to look for clues.

...

Kiku was sitting in an alley, breathing heavily. He was running away from that man. No matter where he went, that man seemed to find him every time. He couldn't move towns again, he'd never make it. Kiku heard footsteps approach and he held his breath. When they got real close he darted from the alley and ran as fast as he could. He heard the man laughing behind him.

"It doesn't matter where you run kitty. I'll always catch you!"

Kiku growled and kept running. He refused to be caught and sold. Who knows what would happen to him.

He ducked into another alley and sighed. How much longer could he keep this up? He wasn't sure. He heard footsteps once again and growled. He let his claws come out. When the footsteps got close, he jumped out and swung his hand out. The person jumped back and stared at him in surprise. It was Alfred.

"Kiku! Dude, I've been so worried about you! Are you okay?" Alfred asked, instantly checking Kiku for wounds. Kiku pushed him away.

"I'm fine," Kiku said, his claws shrinking to normal size.

"Why did you leave the shed?" Alfred asked. Kiku looked away. He opened his mouth to tell Alfred but he felt a hand grab his wrist. He looked back in surprise. He growled.

"Let go of me!" Kiku screamed as he tried to pull his wrist away. The man just smiled.

"I can't do that," he said looking at Alfred. He smiled at him. Alfred glared at him.

"I advise you to let him go," Alfred said to him. He's never seen this guy before, but he knew he wasn't good, especially with the way Kiku reacted to him.

"Like I said him, I can't do that. Now why don't you just run along and forget you saw anything," he said as a car pulled up. A few men got out and ran over to Alfred. Before he could react, they grabbed him.

"What the hell!? Let go of me!"

The man dragged Kiku over to the car. Kiku's eyes widened and he bagan to struggle more.

"No! Let go! Alfred! Help me!" Kiku screamed as the man pushed him in the car. The other man in the back seat grabbed Kiku and held him down. Kiku struggled until he felt a needle stab into him. His vision blurred.

"N-No..." Kiku tried to stay awake. He looked around but couldn't bring anything into focus. He blacked out.


I have no clue what to name that man. He needs a name but I'm terrible at coming up with names, especially boy names
