Wicked: YES! My greatest artwork is almost completed, I'm sure my lovely Mistress will be quite pleased with her birthday gift! Almost finished just a tad bit more...
Awesome: It took you long enough.
Wicked: Hush and let me marvel in my creation.
Awesome: *rolls eyes* *scoffs* only the artsy types.
Lemony: Ooooooohhhh….It's a pretty picture Wicked! I think your Mistress will love it! And btw readers, you guys are so mean! You'd actually attack me with nerf guns like that whore-monger Nin-Ni Chan? I THOUGHT YOU GUYS LOVED ME!
Awesome: Weeeeeeelllll…*holds up nerf gun* I still love ya' you little fucker.
Lemony: O_O Oh shit…
Rukia gaped at the computer screen with her mouth open like a fish. Mr. Hyde wanted to meet her in person? Her heart drummed in her chest, the beating sound boomed in her ears. This was unreal…never once did Rukia actually think Hyde wanted to meet her, no longer hiding behind screen names, or smoke and mirrors…they'd be one on one. Her visions went in and out as she tried to type coherent words.
Secrecy: Really? Where? When?
Mr. Hyde: I'll let you decide.
Secrecy: But, what if I choose a place that's too far for you?
Mr. Hyde: I promise you can't choose a place that's too far…I'm always nearby.
Sweet Mary Mother of God. He was always nearby? What did that mean? Did it mean he was a mile away…a block away…or even right down the dorm hallway… Rukia's heart slammed against her rib cage, her fingertips became so moist with sweat her fingers started to slip while she lightly tapped the keys.
Secrecy: Ok…can you meet me at this place called the Red Lounge?
The Red Lounge was a popular place in the nearby town. It was a very nice, hidden-away little restaurant/bar concealed in the shadows of the city. Not too many people knew about it seeing as though its brick walls masked most of its beautiful interior. The only reason most people knew about it is because most of them stumbled upon the lovely place by accident. That's how Rukia found it after all. Its dim lighting and low jazz music provided a prefect atmosphere for couples who simply wanted to hide out from the world.
Mr. Hyde: I know exactly where that is. What time, love?
Secrecy: How's about 8:00?
Mr. Hyde: 8:00 is just fine, what day?
Secrecy: Friday works best for me…
Rukia was actually planning this in her head. Friday she'd get to go off campus to see that bullshit psychiatrist. Then afterwards she'd be free to finally meet the mysterious Mr. Hyde. But today was only was Tuesday, which meant she'd be stuck waiting, in anticipation, for three days. Rukia could handle three days…she hoped.
Mr. Hyde: Friday is perfect love, I look forward to finally meeting you. So it's settled, Friday night at 8:00
Secrecy: How will I know it's you when I get there?
Mr. Hyde: I'll be wearing a red silk shirt.
Secrecy: Ok…see you then…
Mr. Hyde: Until we meet, goodbye Secrecy.
Secrecy: Bye.
Rukia took a deep breath then logged off. Friday night at eight, she'd finally know who Hyde was…
"Ready for the next test?" Kaien asked Rukia who was staring blindly out of the window. Today was finally Friday and she'd finally get to see Mr. Hyde in person.
Rukia felt like she'd swallowed a brick.
The eagerness she held for the past three days was getting to her! Why couldn't she fast-forward time? She wanted to get out of this damn tutoring session so she could run back to her dorm and pick out something pretty to wear. Wait? Something pretty? Rukia cocked her head for a moment, deep in thought. Was this a date? Well, technically she was going to meet a man…at a nice place…for a bit of talking. But that didn't make it a date, did it? Rukia didn't care; she just knew she wanted to turn heads…preferably Mr. Hyde's head. Hey, first impressions are everything. Rukia began contemplated possible outfits.
"A nice dress…maybe a skirt…definitely heels…" She thought totally ignoring Kaien's attempts to get her attention.
"Rukia!" Kaien snapped, Rukia jerked her head to the front of the classroom.
"Huh?"
"Are you ready for the test?" Kaien asked his tone stern,
Rukia nodded absently,"Uh-huh."
For the next thirty minutes the younger Kuchiki zipped through her History test. She worked through every question to the best of her ability leaving nothing unanswered. When she was finished Rukia shoved the paper into Kaien's hand so that he could grade it.
Rukia tapped her foot impatiently as Kaien moved his red pen over the paper. After about five minutes he looked up at her and smiled broadly.
"Well whatda' know," He praised, "You got an A. Why couldn't you do this the first time, Rukia?"
"May I go now?" Inquired Rukia not caring in the least that she'd received an A, she really didn't have time for this! Kaien sighed and rolled his eyes playfully.
"Well that depends, where do you need to be?" He teased, Rukia furrowed her eyebrows. She didn't like the way he said that. Kaien was giving Rukia an all-knowing smirk. Ok, something was definitely up with her History teacher.
"Nowhere." Rukia lied through her teeth, Kaien's smirk got wider.
"Liar, liar pants on fire." He purred, Rukia's heart skipped a beat. Oh shit! He knew! He knew about Hyde! He knew about her being on the computer!
"Shit! Shit! Shit!" Rukia's mind screamed, she was trying to come up with a believable lie. And fast!
"Seriously Mr. Shiba," She began calmly lying right down to her very soul, "I don't have anywhere to be, I'm not allowed to go off campus remember?"
Kaien just looked at her, his eyes mocking and face still curled into an all-knowing grin. Rukia sat in her seat trying her hardest not to break eye contact.
"Fuck…fuckity…fuck…fuck…frankin-fucks…!" Her mind reeled, "He knows…he knows…"
After a tense moment Kaien finally spoke, "Well, you've got somewhere to be now."
Rukia looked at him as if bats were flying out of his ears, "Say what?"
"Rukia," Kaien chuckled, "I'm so proud of you for bringing your grades up, I want to take you out to dinner to celebrate that's all."
Rukia let out a breath she'd been holding for the past thirty seconds. Holy shit, Kaien scared the fuck out of her! Rukia thought she'd been busted for sure…but he just wanted to take her out, that was ok…she'd still get to see Hyde though.
"Ok…" Rukia said a bit weakly glancing down at her watch to check the time. It was now 6:30, she'd humor Kaien with this stupid dinner idea and then bolt downtown in time to see Mr. Hyde. Yes, that would work perfectly.
Rukia rode silently in Kaien's dark blue Ford Focus. She was antsy and wanted nothing more than to go back her dorm, rip all of her clothes out her closet and find something to wear for tonight. She looked down at her herself and grimaced. She was still wearing her school uniform which was nothing more than a navy blue skirt, white blouse, white knee-high socks, a navy blue tie, and black flats. Ugh, what a hideous outfit.
"But," Rukia thought hopefully, "I'd make a perfect naughty school girl. I bet Hyde would love that."
She stared out the window at the town, the sun was setting and soon it would be time…
Rukia glanced down at her watch again, it was 7' o clock. Fuck how long would this take? It felt like a millennium by the time Kaien and Rukia arrived at a nothing-special little restaurant. The waiter showed them to their seats and Rukia sat, quietly counting down seconds in her head. Kaien sat across from her calmly looking over the menu. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see his student look at her watch.
"Expecting someone?" He joked, "Or is it almost time for your favorite TV show or something."
"Bite me." Rukia replied dryly not taking her eyes off her watch. Dammit it was 7:01. Only a minute passed by? Shit! This was going to take forever and a day!
The waiter returned and Kaien asked for his 'usual' and Rukia ordered hastily.
"I'll have what he's having," Was all she said, Kaien examined Rukia closely. She seemed a bit…agitated.
"Are you nervous about being seen with your teacher?" He joked, Rukia scowled at him. That had nothing to do with it! She wanted to leave! Now! She wanted to see Hyde and yet fate was throwing her curve balls way out of left fucking field!
"No." She answered simply her eyes burning, Kaien swallowed and became a bit nervous himself. There was something he needed to talk to Rukia about…it was a…touchy subject.
Kaien cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and said, "Tell me about Byakuya and his murder."
Rukia heard those words echo from his lips, pure white sweep across her vision…
She snapped.
Everything seemed to move in slow motion and few moments later, Rukia found herself walking down the dark street, alone, her tiny hands curled into tight fists. Her knuckles were white, her shoulders were hunched, and she stomped down the street muttering obscenities. Rukia couldn't exactly remember what she'd said to Kaien but she knew it was loud.
You don't need to know shit about my brother! Don't you watch the news! Look him up on Google! Don't ever in your natural born life part your lips to ask me anything about my brother! Do you hear me? Do you hear the fucking words coming out of my fucking mouth! My brother is none of your concern so don't ask about him, understand!
Yes, now Rukia remembered those exact words flying out of her mouth, at full-speed, and hitting Kaien like a semi-truck. Then fog began to clear inside Rukia's mind, she remembered the blank stares people were giving her, she remembered Kaien sitting in his seat; eyes glazed over and body rigid. She couldn't exactly recall when she got up and stormed out or how far she had walked. Well, now she was a good distance away from the city and was back on the main road headed towards campus. She sighed and glanced at her watch, it was precisely 8' o clock. Maybe Hyde would be willing to wait for her, hell, Rukia wondered if she'd be able to face him now. Sure! Why the hell not? She'd set the date and Rukia would be damned if she didn't show her face…or at least see Hyde's. Her pace quickened as she saw the campus's main gate in the distance.
Suddenly the loud screeching of tires ripped through the night. Rukia turned only to see headlights coming her way, quickly she dodged the speeding car. She squinted her eyes, hmm…that looked like Kaien's dark blue Focus… Rukia shrugged, at least it didn't hit her.
Without warning, something did!
WHAM!
A sharp pain engulfed Rukia's skull and her eyes rolled into the back of her head. Limply she fell to the ground, completely unconscious.
There was no telling how much time had gone by, but from what Rukia could figure it hadn't been long. Where was she…she was moving…in a…car? Perhaps a van…yes it was definitely a van…her hands were tied behind her back with nylon ropes…it…it was cutting of the circulation! Rukia tried to scream but she was bound and gagged! She couldn't even kick her feet because of the ropes wrapped around her ankles! Shit! Shit! Rukia's blurred vision cleared immediately and she looked up.
She looked up into the face of her kidnapper…
