Dangerous love

Chapter 4

Kidnapped

(This chapter can be triggering, it's about kidnapping)

"Baba." Soryu says and reaches inside of his jacket.

"Sorry, sorry, I just thought that maybe you could help her out! It'll be god for both parts, right? The Ice Dragons need expansion as well. " Baba stands up walks over to me. He then puts his arm around my shoulder and squeezes me closer to him. Noticing how close Baba is to me, Hiroki and Tomoe immediately steps closer and draws out their guns. Baba lets go of me the second he hears the click of the gun. Seeing this, Soryu lets out a small chuckle.

"They're quite protective of you, aren't they?" He looks over at Hiroki and Tomoe who still has their guns pointed at Baba, who has now retreaded to his original spot on the sofa.

"They're always by my side." I say and smile to them. They lower their guns and goes to sit not too far away from me.

"You have good subordinates"

"I know. I'm very lucky." I smile fondly at them before straightening up. "Um Soryu-" I'm about to ask him if it were possible for a cooperation between us when Inui interrupted.

"Boss, there's someone who wishes to talk to you! It's pretty urgent!" Inui yell. Soryu gives a little nod to Inui, stands, and gives me a quick look before he turns his back and leaves. Dammit, I didn't get to ask him. What do I do now? It becomes silent and no one says a word. Ugh, this is a little awkward… I should probably say something…

"We should probably get going." I say and stand up and walk towards the elevator.

"Are you leaving already, pretty lady?"

"I have to. There are some things I need to sort out." I turn to face them. "It was nice to meet you all." I bow a little before leaving with Tomoe and Hiroki.

Tomoe has gone to get the parked car while Hiroki and I wait by a back alley, not too far from the hotel.

"W-Well that didn't go exactly as planed" Hiroki laughs a little and I can't help but join him.

"No but I'm gonna try again." I smile at him. "I feel like there's something about him. I don't know what it is, it's just…-" All of a sudden a man bumps into me and I lose balance and stumble forwards into another man's embrace.

"Well hello there, cutie." I try to get out of his embrace but he only holds me tighter and smiles at me with his disgusting, yellow teeth.

"Let me go!" I yell and Hiroki draws out his gun, but before he can do anything, the guy that bumped into me hits him hard in the head and Hiroki falls to the ground. Blood starts pouring from his head, coloring the pavement red. "Hiroki!" I struggle more and the guy holding me takes out a piece of tape and tapes my mouth shut. He then tie my wrists with a rope before he lifts me up and throws me into a white van. I hit my head and black out.

When I wake up everything's dark. I'm lying on my side, my arms are tied and so are my legs. I try to speak but a tape over my mouth stops me. Oh god, where am I? What happened? Is Hiroki ok?! I start to panic and struggle but stop as soon as the door opens.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" A big guy with grey hair and a black suit comes in and stands in front of me. He uses his foot and kicks me in the side so that I fall on my back. I look directly at him and he just smiles. He kicks me again, only this time much harder. I grunt in pain. The guy lets out a satisfied laugh and crouches down next to me. He then lifts my chin up with two fingers and admires me. "You're quite the cutie, aren't you?" He laughs and it makes me feel absolutely disgusted. He reaches out for my chin and I quickly pull my face away from his reach. Apparently, he don't like this so he gives me a hard slap across the face. The slap is so hard that I let out a whimper and start crying. He laughs again and slaps me even harder, this time it leaves a big red mark. Amused by my reaction, he continues to slap me and even moves on to hitting me. My face hurts so much but there's nothing I can do. He keeps on abusing me while screaming "You think you're good enough for the Black Wolves, huh?! Well you're just a little slut, aren't you?! Just a pathetic little girl, huh?! WELL, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU SON OF A BITCH!" His laugh becomes even more evil and his eyes show pure evil. He grabs the tape that covers my mouth and tears it off. I try to move away from him but he moves to sit on top of me. He then takes out his gun and aims it directly at my head.

"So this is it, huh? This is how it ends?" I think to myself but just as the guy is about to pull the trigger the door slams open and someone runs in. I can't make out who it is because of my blurry vision but I can hear a deep man voice say "Get off her, now!" The man on top of me doesn't make any attempt to move and the unfamiliar guy draws out his gun and points it at him. The gun aimed at my head is moved away and is now pointing at the stranger. The stranger doesn't hesitate and quickly shoots the guy on top of me. The, now dead, body falls off and lands next to me with his dead face facing me. I let out a scream and the stranger immediately runs over to me and lifts me up in his arms. It isn't until he carries me out of the dark room that I can finally see who it is.

"S-Soryu?" I whimper. He smiles kindly at me as he lets me down so that he can untie me. After he's done untying me I lose control and start to cry. Soryu sees this and hugs me close to him. He then lift me up and carries me over to a car. The car door opens and Inui comes out clearly very distressed.

"Boss, is she ok?!" He hurries over to us.

"She's ok, Inui."

Inui lets out a sigh of relief and returns to the car to open the door for us. When we arrive at the car Soryu is about to set me down but I instinctively cling to him.

"Alex?" He asks.

"…please." Is all I manage to say. He lets out a sigh and sits down at the back of the car with me on his lap, still clinging on to him. I close my eyes and rest my head on his shoulder. The car ride is quiet and no one says a word. I decide to break the silence.

"…I'm sorry." I meekly say. Soryu looks at me surprised. "I'm weak…" Inui looks at me through the front mirror of the car. "I couldn't even protect myself, how can I expect to be able to protect the Black Wolves?" I start to cry again.

"You're not weak, Alex" Soryu says and pats me on the head. "That was an unfair situation. They attacked you when you were the most defenseless."

"There's nothing you could have done differently, Miss Alex." Inui chimes in from the driver's seat.

"You don't have to be so formal, Inui. You can call me Alex." I whisper and give him a weak smile. Inui's eyes begin to water and he starts to sob. "I-Inui?" I ask confused.

"I'm so happy, princess!" He says while wiping his eyes.

"Huh?"

"You let me call you by your first name!" he yells out.

"Inui, calm down." Soryu says and Inui immediately shuts up and continues to drive in silence. "And Alex, you should probably rest." He says and leads my head to his shoulder again.

"Are you sure this is ok?" I ask him.

"Of course." He touches my cheeks and I flinch in pain. "Sorry, did that hurt?"

"A little bit…" I touch my cheeks were he just did.

"You have a few bruises" He examines them carefully. "I'll have someone look over them when we get back." I give a small nod. My body feels extremely heavy and it isn't long before I doze off.
