This chapter has been redone!

It had been the first television appeal. A month after the two boys had disappeared the Fuji and Kikumaru family finally was allowed to come on air and appeal to whoever had taken Shusuke and Eiji to bring them back to them. There had been no ransom call; no mention of any letters, nothing; it was unlike a normal kidnapping. What ever they wanted, they would give just as long as they got their children back unharmed. It had become a big story in all the newspapers, everyone was seemingly talking about it and everyone wanted to know what this U-17 tournament camp was, the journalists more wanted to know where it was. The police had decided it would be risky letting the middle school and high school students back out just yet encase they were hounded by the press, so they were keeping everyone back until it had died down or at least the boys had been returned.

That was fine with Yuuta, he didn't think he could bear to see the outside world for a while, not without knowing that the boy he was always compared to wouldn't be there and people would be asking him more. Although he would never admit it out loud, Yuuta did want to be known as Fuji's Shusuke little brother in some ways, however he may act. He hadn't told anyone about his dream yet, having no way to contact with his sister and if told anyone else they would think him mad, the Rudolph regulars would probably tell him to shut and stop moping.

Yuuta was distracted from his thoughts when he heard his name being called from a small distance. He looked up from the ground where he had been staring at, crossed armed for quite a while it seemed, he had arrived there after the morning bell and the sun was already setting. Blinking Yuuta shook his head, 'way to get carried in your own thoughts' he thought to himself before sighing and standing as he watched the small group come. The ironic thing was it wasn't anyone from Rudolph, just the Seigaku regulars.

Oishi was in front and seemingly had been the one calling him, "Yuuta," Yuuta had got used to them calling him his first name. It made the pain of this kidnapping lessen for a while but he had made a mental note to ask them to stop when he got his brother back; he was not giving Fuji any ideas. Oishi placed a hand on Yuuta's shoulder and squeezed it gently, "you've been missing for most of the day, and it kind of scared me when I couldn't find you."

"How did you find me then?"

"Inui had told me he had seen you coming to this forest area. I guess you wanted to avoid the television appeal, none of us went." Oishi replied nodding back to the rest of the Seigaku team. Tezuka was standing there with arms crossed, Inu was making notes about the captain's arms was slightly tighter than it had been before the kidnapping, although no one knew that. Kawamura and Echizen had walked a little distance from the group, not saying anything but just looking at the forest. Momo and Kaidoh were standing back to back, so they wouldn't have to acknowledge each other but notably their fights had actually increased in number and more about trivial things that didn't matter, since learning the knowledge of Fuji's and Eiji's kidnapping, although that hadn't stopped them fighting this morning. It seemed everyone had been affected by the kidnapping, if only slightly in some cases. "You've seemed distracted for a few days Yuuta; ever since you woke up that night." Yuuta quickly took it as a referral to that night he had what he hoped was a nightmare and not a vision.

"This was where they were last seen going to wasn't it?" Tezuka said looking over Yuuta's left shoulder, when he didn't continue Inui looked up from his notebook "but the police found only Fuji's camera smashed to bits. They presumed by something solid and not a simple chuck to the ground, it was also something with a thinner edge than a hammer and not as sharp as an axe. They say the probability of it being a tennis racket was 89 per cent," The data expert tennis player carried on. Oishi sighed and looked back at Yuuta, who wasn't looking at all impressed with Inui's data memorizing or data collecting skills.

"But it doesn't mean that someone on the camp did it? I mean none of us are suspects; there was no way we could have done it, especially Oishi or Fuji's brother." Momo perked up from where he had been standing. Silently with a cold glare Yuuta walked away from the group, not wanting to be part of any conversation which involved the kidnapping of his brother, another reason why he wasn't going home or back to Rudolph. He could imagine the awkward silences, uncomfortable glances or the patronizing questions. He could understand what Momo was trying to do but at the moment it just went over his head. Behind he could hear yet another argument taking place between the two rivals in the Seigaku group.

"Baka! You really know how to put your foot into things don't you?" Kaidoh hissed at Momo, whom seemed offended at that. The rest of the group had started to walk back towards the main complex away from the group with the expectation of Oishi who currently had his eyes closed.

"What do you mean by that viper?" Momo said back, "I was trying to help unlike you."

"Fshuuuu, but you don't know when to keep your mouth shut do you?" Kaidoh hissed back and nodded at the now retreating back of Oishi who was joining the other group. "Baka" was the last thing Kaidoh said before he turned and joined the rest of the group, walking behind just slightly.

"Damn it viper" Momoshiro muttered to himself before turning in the opposite direction, muttering curses about one particular snake of the regulars.

"I was only trying to help" Momo sighed, 'but the viper was right. I did just go and stick my foot in it. I was only trying to help out! I really do not want to go back there tonight. Why did I have to be stuck with Viper as a roommate?' he thought as he scuffed his trainers along the ground. The birds were all cheerful chirping along with each other as Momo wandered deeper into the forest, not caring where he was going. His left hand clenched tightly and he ran his hand through his hair, stopping besides a tree. He looked at the ground breathing hard. 'Why did everything have to be so …' his thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone which he had brought with him and was currently vibrating in his right pocket. He waited to see if the caller would get the hint after he refused to answer but all that seemed to happen was the phone grew louder. With a long sigh he brought it out of his pocket and looked at the caller id. 'unknown' it said on the small screen in front of the flip phone. Waiting only a couple more seconds Momo flipped it and placed it against his ear. "Yo"

"Fshuuuu, Bouchou wants you back at the main complex." There was a long pause on the other side. "You better not stick your foot into it again ba … "

"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP!" Momo almost screamed down the phone before throwing against a nearby tree, all the bird nearby scattering. His headache had just increased majorly.

"I know I'm an idiot" he said softly to himself, sliding down the tree, head resting against his clenched hands. He stayed that way for a few minutes before looking over at his right, his eyes resting on the phone which was now on the ground. The top half was half broken off, hanging together by a few wires. "Damn it" he whispered, standing and walking over to it. Sighing he as he picked it up, the top half finally did fall off. "Too much power" he said to himself standing with it musing over it with both bits in different hands. 'Now I'll have to buy a new phone' he said as he started to turn, only to have quickly duck and roll to avoid a slice of a tennis racket coming towards his head!

Momo rolled and skidded away on one knee away from the attacker. He was glad he had turned when he did otherwise he would have never seen the tennis racket, he never heard the person. Taking a quick glance at his attacker Momo frowned, the man had a black mask on and he acted in a way that was much older than a middle school or a high school student. "Who are you?" he asked as a twig snapping alerted him of someone on his right and he pushed himself off the ground with his hands before jumping to avoid that one, rolling as soon as he hit the ground. The phone was now forgotten about at the edge of the small clearing. "There are two of them?" he whispered to himself as he stared at the new guy before something butted into the back of his head, something solid and heavy. The blackness took him as he heard the words. "No, there are three of us."

I redid this chapter. I'm sorry for posting a most terrible chapter yesterday. I hope this is much better. It should be a lot lot better. I don't even know why I published the last attempt, I knew it was terrible.
I'll try and get another chapter up tonight, to make up for the fact that yesterdays was so bad I deleted it. Oh and I have now mario-ifed my laptop in mario stickers, maybe it will help maybe not, meh seems to be working.

demoncat13: I now have to agree with you. I am disliking the bad guys and I am using them, well actually they are using me. Make sure you use lots of torture methods and don't give them an easy death ...
BF: Yep Fuji is more or less broken. I love the 'when not if' part. Who says I am allowed to let them go?
eijikikumarufan01: hmm, I would rather not like to have to stay up 30 hours to produce a good chapter. Tends to make me cranky. As for them being fed, erm I presume yes because they wouldn't have been able to survive a month without food, however how much they are getting I have no idea and I dare not ask the coaches cause they are currently scaring me. As for breakig them by nearly killing them, the whole purpose of that is, if you can break somebody into tiny little pieces you can be the one to put back together whichever way you like. At least I think thats the reasoning. Another point I wanted to say but keep forgetting is your detail point. For me if someone says 'they poked a gun into his leg', I want to know which leg, I want to be able to see what people are writing. I want to be in the story, thats my part on detail.

Reviews please for hopefully a better chapter! Oh and find out what happens to momo in the next chapter ...
