Gyaa, I'm sorry this took sooooo long to publish, but I just got suspended from my job because I fucked up really badly, so I've got today and the next two days off. I'm really mad at myself and am praying to god (which doesn't work very well for an agnostic) that I don't have to go to retraining, or get transferred to another position.

So I'm going to pour all of my energy into a) never fucking up again and b) getting all of my stories updated.

So, here is a new chapter (finally)

Chapter 10

(In Usagi's POV)

I awoke as the alarm buzzed near my head. It read 6:30, which gave me a few hours to get ready and get to the money drop. I sincerely hoped the bastard still had no knowledge of Misaki's rescue.

I spent an hour getting ready, and another hour arguing with the bank, who did not want to give me the inordinately large amount of money that I was asking for to bring to the drop. After all, he might refuse to come out if I didn't have the money to prove I 'wanted' Misaki back.

Then, putting on a suit jacket and pants, I headed back into the bedroom where my Misaki lay, sound asleep. I kissed him gently. He smiled and mumbled, "Mmm, Usagi-san."

"Yes?" I asked, not expecting him to answer.

"Kiss me again."

I didn't even hesitate. I just leaned down and pressed my lips gently to his. He whispered, sleepily, againat my lips, "I love you, Usagi-san."

"I love you, too, Misaki."

Then Misaki sunk deeper into sleep and said no more. I ran my fingertips over his cheek in a quick caress and turned, and left.

On my way out, a young man who looked vaguely familiar passed with a quick nod at the front door. Must live on my floor.

I headed off to the car park. From there, I went to the rendezvous point where I met the police to discuss how to draw the kidnapper into open so that he couldn't get away on a boat or by some other means. I listened to everything they said because I did not want that bastard escaping. He had to pay for what he had done. I'd like to make him pay myself but I he had to get caught first.

It was 9:30 by the time I reached the dock with my suitcase filled with money from the bank. I looked out at the empty stretch of dock that was all that separated me from the vast ocean. And even that disappeared when the fog began to roll in.

I waited thirty minutes. It was dark, and foggy, and I was getting ready to meet the man who hurt Misaki. Then a voice behind me yelled, "Here's how this is gonna work."

I turned to see two shadows in dark mist. They were a good twenty feet from me, but I was still close enough to see the gun pointed at the smaller of the two men.

…

(In Misaki's POV)

I was dreaming about kissing Usagi-san…as embarrassing as that is, I can admit it in my own head. Then the dream changed. It was the young man who'd plugged my nose when I screamed.

He was whispering to me. I shuddered, even as he kept going in my ear. "Time to wake up, Misaki. Dream time's over baby. Come on back to reality."

I shuddered again, thinking for a moment that I was back in the storage space at the school. My eyes shot open. I was still thankfully in Usagi-san's bedroom.

The not so thankfully part was that the man was standing over me. My eyes bugged out and I let out a small whimper. Then he pointed a gun in my face. "Let's move, I've got some money to make."

I felt tears as raw terror built up in my heart and mind. I sat up and slid off the wrinkled and cum stained sheets. Then I sagged to the floor, my legs turning to jelly. The man caught me and dragged me upright. "Come along, we've got a money drop to go to."

He dropped the gun into his waistband and gripped me tightly. He didn't need the gun to make me move since I was completely under his control. But still, as an added threat, he pressed a kiss to my ear and murmured, "Try to leave once and I'll rip open every one of those stitches they put into your chest."

"How do you--?"

"I knew one of my men was a biter. And besides, people saw you leaving the school. It wasn't hard to figure things out. Now let's get moving. We have a train to catch in order to beat your lover to the pier."

I moaned at the thought. At least Usagi-san wasn't around to see this. Speaking of which…where was Usagi-san? "Where is Usagi-san?" I asked.

"Probably on his way to the dock."

"Why?"

"Because he wants to be here when I get caught."

"But why--?"

"He thinks I don't know you escaped. Now I've got you back, and I've got the great Usami Akihiko willing to fork over a few million for you." He grinned viciously at me.

"Shall we?" he asked as he half dragged me out of Usagi-san's bedroom and out of the apartment.

…

We reached the dock at 9:00 pm. He and I walked up the dock and onto a boat that had scratch outs where the boat's name. Fantastic. Even I knew how suckish this looked…I mean, I have seen hostage movies.

He shoved me below deck and quickly bound and gagged me.

…

He came back just under an hour later. He picked me up and lead me off the stage. It had gotten very foggy out now. I looked out over the dock to see a very familiar shadow standing, waiting. "Here's how this is gonna work," The man yelled sharply.

And cue the cliffhanger. So what do you think? Please review and tell me.

Just so you know, this story is going to go on for at least three more chapters, if not more. I have a lot of ideas that I want to fit in to this tale of woe. And all of it is going to be good...at least, i think it will be.
