~Captured~
It had been a week since the police first came to our house because of the anonymous calls concerning my well-being and sadly it hasn't stopped, Hikari, Takeru, Sora, Koushiro, Jou and now even Mimi haven't given up.
They don't have any tangible proof, only theories and their own witnessing but since it's a good number of people concerned the police are obligated to check into it.
Master's becoming more and more agitated. He never lets me leave the house by myself anymore. He's even resorted to pulling me out of school and hiring a private tutor.
It was strange, I even argued against Master at first but after he explained how he felt Sora and they might try to physically resort to basically kidnapping me to take me away from him. I agreed.
I wouldn't put it past Sora, she probably would.
I was perfectly fine with all the changes and rules Master put in place.
I had him.
That's all I needed.
But there was a little voice in my head, a little part of me that protested. I crushed that voice stomping out all its worry and doubt till I could no longer hear it.
Life went on... with just me and Master in our own little world.
I had one problem though...
As much as I tried to stop it, I still felt a small connection to my sister Hikari. Her birthday was coming up in a few days...
She had invited me to her birthday... An invitation showed up to the house yesterday, just as I finished reading it... Master had through it into the garbage. He said I didn't need to go.
I had thought about it for the rest of day...
Should I go? Even though Master said no?
It was absolutely certain; Master wouldn't allow me to go. I could always try to sneak out...
Could I defy Master?
Could I really?
Was Hikari worth the risk after what she had done?
"Taichi, what has you so deep in thought?" asked Master, "Are you still thinking about Hikari's birthday?"
Master could read me like an open book... There's no point in hiding my thoughts from him, "Yeah, I am," I admitted.
"I know you must still have feelings for Hikari because no matter what she is still your sister, I feel the same way with Takeru," started Master, "But I'm sure, Sora would try something given the chance."
"Master, you shouldn't worry," I said crawling closer to him on our couch.
The movie playing was long forgotten...
Master pulled me into his lap and wrapped his arms securely around my waist. I laid my head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat.
"I don't want to lose you," mumbled Master kissing my head, "Your mine."
"You won't. I am yours, only yours," I replied without hesitation, "I love you."
"I love you too," he said brushing his lips against mine.
We sat there together on the couch... wrapped up with each other in silence, for what felt like hours to me, perfectly happy with just us...
"Taichi, I know your still upset about Hikari's birthday, so I'll make it up to you. How would you like to go downtown? Out for dinner?"
"Yes! I would love to!" I exclaimed, "Where do you want to go?"
Master tightened his arms around me, "Anywhere you want."
"Lakeview?" I suggested.
"Sounds perfect," agreed Master.
Lakeview was a small restaurant, but they were well-recognized among the locals as serving great food as well as keeping their service well-mannered and treating you as old friends. The building as one would guess with the name was right on the lake, and no matter where you were seated you had an excellent view of the water.
Master and I had just been seated and handed our menus. I was extremely happy; it was perfect just me and Master.
"Are you happy, Taichi?"
"Very much, Master."
"I'm glad."
Master and I talked about random things that popped up, it was very relaxing. We ordered from the menus and the food was severed in less than ten minutes.
Fast service. Great food.
After dinner, Master took me for a walk downtown, shopping...
"If you see anything you like, Taichi, tell me and we'll get it for you."
"Anything?" I asked my eyes darting from one shop window to another.
"Of course."
There were many people outside, shopping quickly filing up the stores and streets...
"Look! Master!" I exclaimed.
"What? You see something you want?" he asked.
"That!" I said pointing across the street to a window.
Master's eyes followed the direction I was pointing.
"Are you pointing to the rabbit?" he asked a bit surprised.
"Yes! The giant yellow bunny!" I said.
I would have thought his answer would have been different...
"Ok, let's go get it before someone else finds it and decides to buy it."
Master took my hand and entwined our fingers before walking into the tiny plushie shop. I didn't really have a reason for wanting a giant stuffed bunny.
I suppose it was sort of a test for Master, because guys aren't suppose to like plush rabbits but Master passed...
He was going to buy it for me regardless.
It made me very happy.
I watched with wide eyes as the store's stock boy pulled down the giant bunny well Master took out the necessary number of bills to pay for it.
I left the store with a wide grin happily knowing Master still loved me even though I liked some girlish stuff.
"You see anything else you like?"
I looked over the shops waiting for something to catch my eyes... Suddenly my eyes were caught up in a flash of silver...
"There!" I yelled pushing my new rabbit into Master's arms before I dashed off into the crowd.
At that point in time I didn't think about how my sudden actions would affect me...
I stopped at the small window that contained the beautiful silver chain that had caught my eyes. I thought it would be perfect for Master to wear.
I turned around to tell Master, I had found something I wanted...
Master wasn't there...
I only saw people in large groups walking up and down the stretch of shops.
It hadn't occurred to me, I had ran and had pushed the rabbit into Master's arms, preventing him from seeing the way I went...
Stupid.
I felt anxious, very nervous without Master by my side. I suppose I've grown very dependent on Master...
I was scared...
"Tai?"
Master...
I turned quickly in the direction of the voice, hoping it was Master so he could hold me tight, to comfort me...
Hikari...
It was Hikari...
In my excitement for my date with Master, I had forgotten today was Hikari's birthday.
"Tai," Hikari said again as if she was making sure I was really there, "I-I about..."
I didn't wait for her to finish before I ducked into the crowd of people. I couldn't talk to her... I had finally agreed to Master I would stay away from Hikari and all are old friends.
I needed to find Master...
A hand grasped my wrist, "Mas..." I started, breathing a sigh of relief but quickly swallowed any words or sounds...
Takeru.
Hikari's boyfriend. Master's brother. He was a lot taller then I remembered...
"Tai, Hikari just saw you," he started, "Why'd you run away?"
I didn't say anything back; my arguing never changed their minds.
"T.K, you found him!" exclaimed Hikari, breathing hard. She must have been running around looking for me.
I then noticed, Takeru still had a firm grip on my wrist.
"Tai..." started Hikari.
I didn't want to hear it. Tired, I was tired of this arguing...
"Let go."
"Tai..."
"Please, let go of my wrist," I whispered.
"No, Tai. Please just listen, were not here to tear you away from Yamato, just talk," pleaded Hikari.
"Please come with us?" asked Takeru.
I felt like a small child again even though I was a few years older them both of them.
I dropped my tense posture and allowed myself to be steered by Takeru to my old house, the one I used to share with my parents and Hikari.
Master would be furious at me when he finds me.
Hikari opened the front door, I briefly wondered if my parents would be there...
Takeru still held my wrist, he knew I would if given the chance, would run. I was pulled gently inside the house.
"Hikari? Remember this is your birthday! And your late!" I heard being yelled from the living room.
Hikari, Takeru and I were still in the foyer area, when Sora walked out.
"Tai?" questioned Sora. She was shocked, I could tell. We hadn't spoken or even seen each other since the cake shop, "Your here? Did Yamato come to? Hikari why did..."
"Sora, enough!" yelled Hikari, "He's already nervous, don't add to it!"
Hikari was right.
Sora took a breath, "You invited him right? So he came without Yamato?"
Takeru scratched the back of his head and laughed, "He didn't exactly come of his free will."
To be continued...
AN: So Taichi is in their clutches! Which side is he going to follow? Oh and I started a poll which can be found on my profile page, the question is 'Do you think Taichi should stay with Yamato in the end?' Please let me know how you want the story to end?
