Okay so here's the next chapter! Yay! Sorry it took so long to update but me being the stupid person I am started not one, but two new stories even though I promised myself that I would only do two stories at once. Then there's also the normal life stuff, including mid-terms and a thousand essays and art and music and etc. But enough of my excuses, enjoy!
You should be glad to know I just bought Beyblade so I totally own it! …yeah we all know that's gonna happen.
Saiyo rubbed her temples and focused back on the security screens in front of her. So far, each of the attempts on the kids had been exactly a week apart, and all of the kidnappings had taken place at night. It had been seven days since Tsubasa Otori's abduction. She wasn't expecting anything to happen just yet since it was only eight in the morning, but you can never be too safe.
Saiyo sighed and fingered a strand of her shoulder length, dark brown hair. After hesitating a moment she picked up the phone. She wasn't going to fail her job; she would make sure these two boys made it safely through the day. To make sure that happened back-up would be necessary.

Gingka was laying spread eagle on the floor, staring up at the ceiling. "I'm so bored!" he muttered.
Masamune continued bouncing the small ball he'd found against the window, neither of them paying any attention to the TV that was playing the local news. They'd both lost all interest in the programs playing on the available stations after the first five days.
"What do you want to do?" Masamune asked. At first they'd tried finding a way to escape the safe house, but after the first three days and a couple of bruises from booby traps, they'd given up.
"We could try to escape again." Gingka suggested from his position on the floor. "Maybe we could make the phone work." There was a phone, but it had the buttons altered so that you couldn't press them, so the phone was only good for incoming calls.
"None of that'll work." Masamune snorted, bouncing the ball a little too hard off the window and making it fly past him. He stood up and walked to the couch where he flopped down unhappily. Boredom was one of the worst tortures that could ever be implemented.
Gingka stood and walked towards the window. When he looked out he noticed a familiar face amongst the crowd. "What?!" he shouted when he saw who it was.
"What's wrong?" Masamune shouted, running to join Gingka at the window, glad for any distraction from the monotony of the safe house.
"I, I saw him!" Gingka murmured. The face that had been staring up from the crowd on the beach had disappeared back into the crowd. Gingka was searching for the face again but couldn't find it; he seemed to have just disappeared.
"Saw who?" Masamune began looking for anyone he knew in the crowd.
"It…it was Damian!"

Tsubasa grunted as he attempted to move a little. It was no use. They had been locked up in the very top of the out of use lighthouse. The lighthouse was very old, and didn't even have an electronic light in it. It had been out of use so long that the last time it had been used fire still provided the light. Looking around it seemed to Tsubasa that the light house had been converted into some sort of prison. This was because of the chains that dangled from the walls, one of which held his wrists over his head against the wall.
A sigh coming from the direction of the floor caught his attention and he looked down. The sigh had come from Yu. Yu and Madoka we're both chained up but they weren't attached to the wall; he was glad they weren't tall enough to be locked up in the same manner he was. Tsubasa looked down at the sleeping Yu and hoped he was having a good dream. If he had to guess he would say Yu was having a good dream because he was sleeping peacefully. He felt relieved that Yu at least had some peace.
A clanging sound coming from the hatch on the floor that concealed the stairs woke Madoka and Yu from their peaceful sleep.
Yu yawned and stretched the best he could manage with his shackles on, and then glared at the source of the noise. The food they served here was good enough, but he enjoyed his sleeping and did not appreciate being woken from it.
Madoka slowly woke from her sleep and slid out of the strange position she had somehow worked herself into as she slept. The hatch opened and one of the gray clad guards climbed in carrying their food on a tray. It was eggs, bacon, and a fairly good southern American breakfast food called grits. At first the three had thought these grits were strange. They seemed to be tiny little grains of something all stuck together and smothered in butter and salt. It had taken a bit to get used to them, but once they did they found grits fairly delicious.
The guard sat the tray of food down and glared at them. Madoka guessed he didn't enjoy being reduced to a waiter much. The short man then pulled out a set of keys and unlocked them, Madoka first, then Yu, then Tsubasa, who slowly slid down the wall into a sitting position and began rubbing his wrists. In his position locked to the wall Tsubasa hadn't gotten much sleep in the last week, and it was showing, mostly by the bags under his eyes.
Madoka picked up her fork and began eating her food, eggs first. Yu started to eat his bacon but stopped and looked at Tsubasa who was still rubbing his bruised wrists tiredly. Tsubasa usually took the time he had left after eating during their one hour food breaks to sleep, since it was almost impossible to do so while locked up. Madoka was fairly certain he'd probably passed out a few times from exhaustion.
"Are you okay Tsubasa?" Yu asked quietly, crawling over to him instead of getting up from his seat on the floor.
Tsubasa looked at Yu for a minute, his tired state of mind making things take longer to make sense. "Yeah, I'm fine Yu, just tired." His voice was quiet and did sound very tired.
Yu frowned and stood up, then brought his food over and sat beside Tsubasa. When Yu looked up at Tsubasa again, he saw he'd fallen asleep. Yu continued to look up at his friend worriedly. Tsubasa didn't look so good, even to Yu.
Madoka looked at Yu who was now eating in a subdued looking way next to Tsubasa who had already fallen asleep. She then looked at Tsubasa and silently hoped that he would be okay. She was no medical expert but even she knew that it took more than a couple weeks to get over a gun-shot wound in your chest, not to mention his recent lack of sleep. Madoka silently prayed that Tsubasa would be okay, and someone would save them soon.

Saiyo sighed and squeezed her earlobe, blinking furiously at the monitors before her. She'd been staring at them all day and it was beginning to have an effect on her eyes. She had men stationed in key points all over the house. If something didn't happen tonight she would be very surprised.
WMW
It was somewhere slightly past 11pm. Most of the streets were devoid of people and were quiet. That was good. The last thing they wanted tonight was for people to notice them. They stopped when they reached their destination. The power lines. It was dangerous to cut a power line, but it was also the most sure and easiest way to cut power off from that building people called a safe house.
'Heh, I'll show you how safe you are.' They thought to theirself and began pulling the tools they'd brought to cut the wire out.
MWM
Saiyo growled angrily as she began prying the door open. She'd been right, the culprit was making their move on the seventh night. She'd not predicted their turning the power off however.
"Open darn it!" she yelled angrily at the door making another attempt to squeeze her fingers through the tiny crack. Luckily her backup was there and would have a pretty good idea what to do, but she still needed to be out there with them. If anything happened to those two boys it would be entirely her fault.
WMW
"What's that sound?" Gingka asked, squinting his eyes in an attempt to pierce the darkness engulfing the room.
A loud crash came from the other end of the room and made Gingka jump. "OWOWOWOWOWOWOW!" Masamune shouted pulling himself up, and being careful not to run into the small table he'd just fell over.
"Oh, it's just you." He couldn't help but feel on edge. All of the others had disappeared and it wasn't hard to figure out that someone was after them too.
Masamune grunted and rubbed his knee where he'd fallen. "Of course it's me! I just tripped over the stupid table 'cause it's so dark!"
"Wait! Did you hear that?"
"Hear what?" his question was instantly answer by a blood curdling scream coming from outside.
MWM
When Saiyo heard the screams she paused for just a second before vigorously kicking at the door. Why did they have to make this stupid door so tough!?
WMW
They laughed evilly to theirself as they walked towards the agent they had just killed. The unfortunate man had noticed their presence but only in time to scream before he was silenced forever. They didn't particularilly want to kill anyone so they proceeded as quietly as they could. Since they'd cut the power and no cameras could record them, it didn't really matter so much, but if they ran into anyone they'd have to kill them.
They climbed up to the bottom of the house using one the stilts and clinging to it with one hand unscrewed the vent located there. After they'd unscrewed it they let go of the beam, leaving only their legs wrapped around it and grabbed the edge of the vent, pulling theirself inside.
MWM
Saiyo looked around the hidden room frantically. There had to be something there that she could use to get out. She spotted the little metal office chair and tried to shove one leg through the crack. No good. She threw the chair and it hit one of the monitors, smashing it. Then she got an idea.
WMW
"Did you hear that crash?" Masamune asked looking nervously in the direction of the door. It was pitch black in the house due to the mechanical blinds blocking out any lights that might have come in from the outside.
"Yeah." Gingka whispered, his voice sounding intrusive in the mostly undisturbed silence.
A slight light shining down the hall caught the two boy's attention. They looked at each other but remained silent. The light moved down the hall and steadily became brighter until a figure in a black coat stopped in front of the door to their room and shined a flashlight around the inside. It stopped moving when it hit two sets of hair sticking out from behind a chair.
"Found you."
"What?!" Masamune shouted and jumped out from behind the chair. "How did you see us?!"
"It's not hard with that hair." The person retorted, snorting a bit. "Now you'll be coming with me."
"No way!" Gingka shouted joining Masamune out from behind the chair.
"What you don't want to see your friends?" They pulled out two cloths and poured some liquid onto them. "They're dying to see you." They laughed a bit and moved towards the boys.
"What did you do to them!?" Gingka shouted suddenly very worried for his friends.
"Jeez relax, I haven't really done anything yet." They had almost reached them, both clothes held ready, flashlight left on the table Masamune had tripped over. In a quick smooth movement the person had covered the two boy's faces with the cloths and they barely had time to make a sound before the chloroform on the cloths had knocked them out. As the two boys collapsed on the ground, the person laughed and whispered to theirself "And then there were none."
MWM
Saiyo grunted as the door finally opened enough for her to shove her hands through the cracks and force the door open. It had taken smashing the computer and using the side of the monitor as a wedge before she had managed to get the door open enough.
She raced down the hallway and to the room the boys had last been in. She stood just inside the door and glanced around. There was a flashlight lying on the table and nosign of the teens. They were gone. She had failed.
So not the longest chapter in the world I know, but now I can get to the next piece of the story. Next chapter I'll reveal the bad guy, so look for that. Anyway can you believe I wrote this while watching a tv show about little kittens and puppies? It's weird.

Starless Skyline: You're right, I have heard of Serbia but couldn't tell you where it is. You sound very patriotic! Thats a good thing! I'm patriotic too. America has it's problems but everywhere else does too, so I think I'm pretty well off. :) You're right about the originality thing, and you should be interested to know I decided to do one of my own original ideas! I'll just have to do my best and see how it goes.
Darknessrules: I'm glad you like it so much, and I do apologize for the shortness of this chapter. But you should be glad to know that now I'm getting to the parts I'm more excited for and might end up updating quicker. :)
KiariCat: Hee hee, I love him too!
