Ok, sorry for the long wait everybody. I've been so busy with school and work. This chapter will be extra long. You all know I don't own Absolute Boyfriend etc. Now on with the story!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Soshi had woken up about two hours ago. The clock read four PM. He groaned when he thought about all the school work he would have to catch up on. Then he shrugged it off. It wouldn't be so bad. He could invite Satori over and they could study together. They'd catch up far more quickly and it would be a good excuse to spend more time with her. He grabbed the T.V remote off the table in front of him and switched on the news. As he watched and listened, his eyes widened in horror.
"This just in, the teenage criminal Tora Sumakaya, age 19, has just abducted a young girl by the name of Riiko Izawa. Her boyfriend Night Tenjou was found in front of the school, claiming to have been attacked by the other boy, when Miss Izawa was taken. The location of the girl is not known and police and paramedics are on the scene. Later on the news-"
Soshi turned off the T.V, his face pale as he tried to understand what he just heard. Riiko.... abducted? And Tenjou nearly murdered. He felt a hand touch his shoulder and looked over blankly at Satori. She had seen the report.
"Soshi. We need to tell those policemen where his mansion is. We need to help Riiko." She said, trying to get his mind started and rational again. Soshi only nodded as he thought about Riiko. So Sumakaya was a criminal. If only he had payed more attention, he could have warned Tenjou and then maybe Riiko wouldn't have-. He quickly banished the thought from his mind and began to gather his remaining wits.
"Satori..." He didn't say anything else and she nodded, understanding without needing to hear. They were soon both out the door and sprinting to the school.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Riiko huddled in the large, dark room. Thoughts of Night raced through her mind as tears began to flow from her pretty blue eyes. She prayed as hard as she could for him to live. She saw the wound in her mind's eye. Blood flowing freely from the deep wound just below his ribs. What if one of his lungs got punctured? He was only human now, not a machine. He had only been human for a tiny while and already he nearly died!
A sob tore itself from Riiko as she thought about losing Night all over again, but this time for good. No Chronos Heaven to repair him this time. No Gakku Namikiri to tell her he would be fixed in a jiffy. Riiko hid her face in her drawn up knees and cried.
'Not Night! Please don't take him away from me! I love him too much!' Riiko thought just as a light fell upon her. She looked up at the door and saw the silhouette of her captor.
"Hello Riiko. Are you ready to play?"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Night swam in and out of consciousness, the wound in his side throbbing painfully. It had felt numb before, but now if he moved even slightly, flames shot through his side and leg. Eventually, it made him wake up fully. A paramedic crouched beside him.
"So you're awake. You're pretty lucky . That almost hit your lung." Night looked around. He vaguely remembered telling a girl that Tora had attacked him and kidnapped Riiko before falling unconscious.
"Riiko... is she.. ok?" The paramedic frowned slightly.
"I'm sorry , but there hasn't been any trace of Miss Izawa. But don't worry, we have the best men from the police force on the job. You should just rest for now. We've had to stitch you up so if you move too quickly, you'll pull them out." Night just sighed, but snapped back to attention when he heard a familiar voice.
"Soshi?" He raised his head and saw him and Satori running towards him, ducking under the police tape before they could be stopped. Satori hurried to one of the policemen to give him some information and Soshi came and crouched by Night.
"Why didn't you protect her?" He demanded angrily. For once, Night glared at Soshi.
"Don't blame me, I tried to protect her but unfortunately, I'm only human." He said, bitter irony tinging his voice. Soshi then realized that if Night was still a machine, the attack wouldn't have even slowed him. He kicked himself.
"Fine, I get it. Satori is giving the officer a description of where Riiko might be so hopefully we can reach her in time." Night nodded and hoped that they would reach her in time.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Riiko screamed murder at her attacker.
"STAY AWAY FROM ME YOU JERK!" She had picked up a candle holder and swung it at Tora, who smirked in amusement and grabbed it before it connected.
"Now now Riiko, you can't go back on your promise to help me with our project. It is about the opposite sex so why don't you let me study." Riiko smacked him with her free hand.
"Not in a million years you pig!" Tora grew slightly annoyed, but retained his sickening smile.
"Name calling Riiko? I'm terribly hurt. You shouldn't be so rude to me. It could get you in trouble." He said and shoved her onto the bed, quickly pinning her hands above her head with one of his own, rough calloused hands.
"I HATE YOU! NIGHT'LL COME FOR ME AND YOU'LL BE SORRY! DO YOU HEAR ME?" She shrieked in his face only to be hit across the face, causing stars to burst in Riiko's vision.
"Shut up you stupid girl, Tenjou's probably dead, lying on the steps with his guts spilled everywhere, so just give up this foolish struggling!" He yelled at her and she cringed, but still tried to escape, though her attempts were more feeble.
'Help me Night!'
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Even though the paramedic had told Night to take it easy, he simply couldn't lay around and think about what could be happening to Riiko. He would never forgive himself if she was hurt or....
He couldn't finish the thought. Instead, he looked out the car window as the officer sped down the road, Satori in the front, pointing out landmarks and Soshi beside Night, his face set into a frown as he thought deeply.
'Hold on Riiko, we're coming for you."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Riiko screamed as loud as she could and brought her knee up, nearly hitting Tora's family jewels in her renewed efforts. She just knew, deep in her heart that Night was coming to save her, if only she could stall a little longer!
"Bitch!" Tora cursed at her and smashed his fist into her stomach, leaving her gasping for air.
"Night.... please.. hurry...." She gasped to herself as Tora grabbed her skirt and started trying to take it off. Riiko kicked him in the face, leaving a bloodied mess behind. Tora's eyes burned in rage.
"That's how you want to play? Fine." He dropped her briefly and walked over to a dresser. Whe he turned back to face her, he held a long, thin knife.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"There! That's the mansion!" Satori cried and pointed to the big house in which she was once trapped. Soshi glared at the house and Night barely waited for the car to stop before jumping out.
"Riiko!" He called out and pushed past the men standing guard. He was still tough and strong after all.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Riiko clutched the tattered remains of her shirt, a few bloodstains marring the color of the clothing. She backed away from the crazed man in front of her, the knife gleaming in the dim light.
"It's time you learned to submit." He said and raised the knife over her head. Riiko gasped and waited for the blow but it never came. When she opened her eyes, she saw Kasuka. He held Tora's wrist tightly and tried to push him back.
"Miss Izawa! You're friends are here to get you! I'm sorry I couldn't come sooner, I was-" But he was cut off as Tora swore at him.
"You bastard! How did you get out of the basement!" He demanded and grappled with his brother.
"Heh, I'm smarter than you're lackeys, if you haven't figured that out by now, you're not the mastermind everyone thinks you are." Tora yelled in his brother's face as Riiko hurried out of the room, her heart pounding in her chest. She ran into a solid body and immediatley shrieked in fear.
"LET ME GO!" She cried but soon stopped her struggles when she heard the sweetest sound on earth. Night's voice.
"Riiko! It's ok, it's me! You're safe now." He soothed her as she quickly broke down in his arms. Night talked to her until Soshi came, followed by Satori.
"Take her, Soshi. I have a score to settle." He said and carefully handed the girl off to her friends, who immediatley led her away. Night entered the room where her torturer stood, glaring at his brother. Kasuka was near the door, a long cut down his arm.
"Tenjou, I trust that you are here to obtain something for Miss Izawa." It was a fact, and the boy soon backed off as Night stalked towards the crazed man.
"You will never hurt anyone ever again, especially not Riiko!" He yelled and ran forward, ignoring the pain in his side. Tora raised the knife and stood ready for him, but was surprised. He had swung the knife, but Night was not there. The once figure had pre-empted the strike, dodged left, and did as Riiko had and kicked him in the face. Hard.
Tora fell to the ground in a heap, blood soon pooled around him as realization dawned on Night. The torture device he so loved to use had become his death. Tora Sumakaya's heart, was now the sheath to that long, silver dagger, and no longer would the twisted man harm another living being.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
