Chapter 10

I woke up in that bed, better said I was awoken by someone, I opened my eyes and I saw Kasamatsu rushing me to get up, I yawned and I tried to stretch my arms but I couldn't even move a bit, I was tied.

He grabbed me and make me stood so suddenly that I felt dizzy, he rushed me through corridors and hallways until we exited that castle, in the door I saw a car, with tinted windows, he opened the backdoor of the car and shoved me in, I stumbled and I fell, Haizaki that was there steadied me and sat me next to him, I looked around but I couldn't see Momoi.

"What are you searching for?" Haizaki smirked.

"You know what I am searching for" I spat.

He laughed "Don't worry, she was just a burden so we let her there, caged" he said.

I glared at him, all the rage rushing to my head, I shoved myself against him, I kicked him with my head and collided with his nose as strong as I could, and I guess it was strong enough because I heard him hiss in pain, he then kicked me in the stomach, and hit my in the back of my head strong enough to make me pass out.

In the castle, they were all reunited in Akashi's studio, they all were tense, tonight was the night when they will go to retrieve the human, Akashi looked at them and sighed, he explained what they will do, Aomine was teamed up with Kuroko, when Kagami heard that he let go the breath he was holding, he was relieved because all what he saw from Aomine told that he was strong. Midorima was paired up with Takao, and Akashi was to go alone, he will be the first to enter the castle, and after he saw it was clear he will give the order to Midorima and they will enter and last was Aomine.

Akashi had planned Aomine to be the last just in case things didn't go as planned, he was scared that they will be late, so he didn't want Aomine to be the first and see what had happened.

They all listened to their leader, memorising every word that left his lips, they already had memorised the map of the castle, they were ready, and they wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Akashi looked at all of them and stood from his chair "Is time to go"

He stood in the door and looked at Kuroko, who nodded and turned to Kagami, they all left the room to let them have some privacy.

"You have to promise me you won't do anything reckless" Kagami pleaded.

Kuroko looked at him "Kagami-kun, don't worry, I will be fine" he said and pecked his lips.

Kagami wrapped his arms around the smaller vampire "I love you, Tetsuya" he said blushing.

Kuroko looked at him "I love you too, Taiga"

He broke the hug and left the room, he stood on the doorframe to give a last look at his boyfriend, this looked back and smiled at him, Kuroko rushed to the entrance where everyone was waiting for him, Akashi patted his head, and turned to lead them to the castle.

When they reached the castle it was already night, they had to be stealthy, they had masked their scent so the werewolves couldn't find them.

Akashi looked at the castle, and stopped them, he started to walk towards the castle, using the shadows to hid, when he reached the castle he entered through the weak spot from it, what was unnerving him was the silence, he couldn't hear anything, just whimpers, what it seemed like a woman crying, but he still didn't rush, he walked cautiously through the corridors, he arched a brow and stopped.

"This can't be; this silence doesn't mean anything good…" he mumbled.

He walked in the direction the whimpers came from, he reached a door but it was closed with key, he frowned and breathed, he punched the wooden door broking it in the process, then he heard that woman jump.

"Ki-chan…?" she cried out.

Akashi walked and stood in front of the pink haired woman, she backed up, and looked at him, afraid, she looked like a small mouse that had been cornered, Akashi sighed and looked around but he couldn't see anything.

"Shintaro and Daiki, come right here immediately" he said.

The woman started crying when she saw Kuroko, whom rushed to her aid; they all looked at Kuroko for answers but he was too busy trying to free her chained ankle.

"Momoi-kun, I'm here now, okay?" Kuroko said trying to calm her down.

"The photographer….Ki-chan….vampires….werewolves" she said between sobs.

"Everything is going to be fine now" the smaller vampire hugged her friend.

She broke crying in his arms, she was scared, she couldn't form any phrase, Akashi looked at Aomine, but he wasn't here anymore, he looked around and saw that Midorima has left too, Takao looked at him.

"Shin-chan, is with him, don't worry, Akashi-sama" he said with a sad face.

"I see…" he sighed.

They all knew what this mean, they were late, he wasn't here anymore, and Haizaki has been faster than them.

Aomine was rushing through the corridors, yelling his name, Midorima behind him to watch over him, he was worried about his friend.

When Aomine reached a dead-end in a corridor, he started to hit the wall, cracking it in the process, while yelling for him to appear, the sight was heartbroken, Midorima couldn't look at his friend, he was torn apart.

Soon Akashi and the others approached them, by that time Aomine was sitting in the floor, with empty eyes, Akashi ordered to go back home, it was futile to keep on here when they knew he wasn't there, they all followed their leader without complaining.

When they reached the castle, Kagami was in the door, when he saw Kuroko and Momoi, he rushed to their side and hugged them, they returned the hug, Kagami looked at Kuroko wondering where Kise was, but Kuroko shook his head to avoid that the red haired said anything, he then pointed at Aomine, Kagami looked at him and saw his dejected look, they didn't find Kise, Aomine rushed inside without a word.

Akashi was the first to break the silence "Tetsuya, Taiga, we have to make our guest comfortable"

Kuroko looked at him "Yeah, please"

They entered the castle and found a room for Momoi, she went to the bed directly, Kuroko sat on the edge of the bed, and Kagami took a seat in one of the chairs from the room, Akashi looked at them.

"Tetsuya, let her rest, when she awakes tell me and we will prepare her something to eat" he said and left the room.

o0o

I woke up in a bed, everything was dark so I couldn't see anything, and my hands were still tied up. I sat on the edge of the bed and I felt dizzy, I tried to stand up from the bed but my legs wouldn't listen, so I stayed there sitting in that room, in the dark, not knowing where I was.

I looked down, I'm sorry, Momoicchi, I couldn't save you…

The door cracked open and I looked up, Kasamatsu stepped inside, closing the door behind him, he looked at me and approached me, he was carrying food.

"Well, since you woke up, you can eat already" he said.

He switched on the lights, and I closed my eyes, I blinked several times until I got used, he set the food on a table, that wasn't far from the bed, the room has no window, it has the bed I was in, the table and a chair.

He approached me and untied my hands, I rubbed my pained wrists, and I stood, keeping my distant from him, he looked at me and gestured me at the food, I sat and I started to eat.

"You are going to be here for awhile, until things calm down, and we can return to the castle, just behave and nothing bad will happen to you" he said and left the room.

I looked to see if they had gave me a knife but no, not even a fork, a fucking spoon, how I am supposed to eat meat with this, I throw the spoon against the wall, I was furious, how much am I going to be caged in here!?

I throw the table with all the food, that collided in the floor and scattered around, then I throw the chair against the wall, I punched the wall, until I slid down and I leaned my head against it, tired from all the exercise, I was so weak, if they are going to cage me in here I might as well misbehave, who cares, they killed Momoicchi, it was my fault….

I sat there curled, burying my face in my knees, wanting to disappear all along, I fall sleep like that.

o0o

It has already passed a week since they saved Momoi, she has spoke with Kuroko, Kagami and Akashi, she has told them what happened, how she was captured, how she woke up and saw Kise there with her, the conditions they were living in, how they feed them, and about Kasamatsu, then it hit Akashi, they weren't there because he was working for Haizaki so he told their plans to him and flew.

Aomine was still in a comatose way, he walked, eat but he wouldn't talk, he couldn't, he didn't want to see anyone at the moment, they had no clue where Kise was or if he was even alive.

Akashi went to visit him, he opened the door and looked at him, but Aomine didn't acknowledge the other presence, he stood there looking through the window.

"Daiki, come with me, is time to eat" he said.

But Aomine did as always, he just followed his leader and sat on the table with the others to eat, he wouldn't speak a word, they were concerned about him, Momoi was the only who that day dared to talk about Kise, the blond topic has been a taboo since that night.

"You don't need to worry, Ki-chan is fine" she said softly.

He looked at her "Who can you be so sure?" he asked.

All the room was surprised, Aomine was talking, and about something they didn't expect and furthermore he wasn't snapping at the pink haired girl.

"Call it, feminine instinct" she said with a warm smile.

"Then you promise me, we…we will find him alive" he said.

She nodded "I assure you"

He offered a small smile "Thanks…" he said.

"You're welcome, Dai-chan" she said.

"Dai-chan?" he asked arching a brow.

"Well, soon you will be part of the family" she said winking at him.

Aomine looked confused, Kuroko intervened "Momoi-kun, don't scare him"

"Take it easy with him, Momoi" Kagami said.

"But why?" she whined.

"What are you three talking about?" Aomine interrupted their little discussion.

"About you and Ki-chan, what else" she said titling her head.

Aomine flushed and lowered his head, Akashi smirked "Daiki, I didn't know you knew how to feel embarrassed" he said.

The entire table laughed and Aomine growled at the comment, but soon he joined them, he felt better after the little hope that woman had offered him, he felt more relaxed, he couldn't keep worrying his friend, he wasn't a weak human, he was one of the strongest vampires, and he couldn't keep whining all his life.

Akashi sighed relieved, seeing that the crow was more relaxed after the incident, the tension was very visible, they had to watch what they could say or not around the blunette vampire, but thanks to that girl the atmosphere was calmer.

o0o

I didn't know how much has passed since I've been caged, I had resigned myself already, I didn't have any hope to be saved, no one knew where I was, it was over.

I was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling when the door opened, Kasamatsu stepped inside and did as always, he let the food on the table, looked at me, and I never returned the gaze and soon left closing the door with key.

I stood from the bed and walked towards the table and I sat there, looking at the food like if it could grow legs and ran away from me. I had started to eat with my hands, they didn't put me the spoon anymore because I attacked one of the men with it, and you must be thinking that it was stupid but no, I almost got free, almost, that's the word.

That day I grabbed my spoon and I waited for the man that came to retrieve my empty dishes, he always let the door open when he entered, so I approached him with an innocent look and I seduced him when he was near enough and his guard was down, I pressed the spoon in his retina, he fell to the ground screaming in pain, I took the opportunity to ran out of the room, but soon I was being chased. I didn't know where I was going until they cornered me in a dead-end, I gave up and they took me back to my room, since then two people come to retrieve my food and if I get too close they kick me away.

I sighed and I started to eat my food, but as always I wasn't hungry enough, so I just took some bites, the food was nauseating, that's why I couldn't almost eat, but I did it anyway, sometimes I ended up throwing up, my stomach couldn't digest this thing, this couldn't be considered food.

Today Haizaki graced me with his presence, he entered the room and tied my hands, he covered my eyes so I wouldn't know how this place was like, and he took me to another room, to the bath, he took the cloth from my eyes and untied me, I knew he wouldn't leave the room so I didn't even bother to try and kick him out.

I took my clothes and I entered the tub, I rinsed myself, this always made me feel better with myself, it will make me forget where I am, this always calmed me down.

"Ryouta, darling, you have been two months already here, and you still don't speak, what happened?" he asked smirking.

I just ignored him, stepped out of the tub and started to dry my body, he approached me and caressed my naked skin, I was immune to all his touch by now, after two months, I didn't even react. I keep drying my body and he slapped my ass, I ignored and continued what I was doing, he leaned over the wall, tired of my non-existent reactions, and sighed.

"You are no fun" he said, I ignored him "You know in another month we will go back again to the castle"

I didn't answer, I didn't care anymore where he took me, it didn't matter I will keep being caged, I dressed myself and I looked at him, he smirked and tied my hands, then he covered my eyes, and returned me to my room.

When I was alone again I throw myself at the bed, when is this going to be over… I curled up and I covered myself with the blankets.

Akashi was in his studio looking through a bunch of papers, to see if he could find a clue, he sighed and rubbed his temples, this was getting nowhere, he was tired and without a hint of where the human could be. They had the castle under surveillance, he has ordered Takao to keep an eye on it, he was pleased by the idea, he felt trusted, but Midorima wasn't in the least pleased, he argued with Akashi about it, but it was futile, as Akashi told him, Takao wasn't a kid anymore, Midorima had accepted it reluctantly.

So everyday Takao will go to the castle, and look around to see if he will find someone, he was doing his round when his ears heard something, voices, he neared the source of it, and saw two men talking, and he stood there and listened to their conversation.

"I don't know why we have to come here" the smaller whined.

"Because Haizaki-sama, has order us to see if those filthy vampires where here" he responded.

"But don't you see there is no one" he whined again.

"You are so annoying, we have to make sure, he wants the place cleared, something about a game he said" he responded indifferently.

"A game?" the first asked.

"Yeah, I don't know the details, it involves that human he captured" he shrugged.

Takao covered his mouth, and rushed out of there, he ran to the castle as fast as he could, he entered Akashi's studio, this looked at him with a raised brow.

"Kazunari, may I know why are you here so soon" the leader asked.

"Akashi-sama, today two men were there on the castle, they were talking about Kise, and about a game that Haizaki is planning, and is going to take place there, I rushed here as soon as I saw they didn't have any more information, they were watching the area to see that there wasn't any vampire" he responded.

The leader stood and patted Takao "You did a great work, you can leave now Kazunari"

Said vampire nodded, and left the room content, he was praised by his leader, this little action for a convert mean a lot, he rushed to search for his lover to tell him his good news, he was proud.

Akashi knew about that news already, because two days ago he has received an invitation, the sender was Haizaki but he didn't want to upset Takao, he has done a great job.

He retrieved the note from the drawer and looked at it, he still hasn't informed anyone about it, Haizaki cited him and the others there in a month, in the night of full moon, Akashi was angered at how he dared to invite him and the others, that dog thought he will win this battle too, but that wouldn't happen.

The others where all together in the backward talking, congratulating Takao for his good work, Akashi made his appearance, he decided to tell them, they had the right to know, he looked at them and they all turned their attention to him.

"Today come an invitation from Shougo, he has cited us in the castle the night of the full moon" the leader spoke.

They all fell silent, they now had a clue where they will see the human, but they were concerned as to why he had cited them in that night.

"Why that night?" Aomine broke the silence.

"I won't lie to you Daiki, a night of full moon is necessary to convert a human into a werewolf" he responded.

Aomine stood "You don't mean…"

Akashi nodded "I'm afraid that yes, he want to show us how he turns Ryouta into one of them" he said.

They all gasped "We have to stop him, I won't let him hurt my friend" Kuroko said, a hint of fury present in his tone.

"What can we do?" Momoi asked worried.

"I'm afraid not much, just wait until that night" the leader responded.

Aomine stomped in the house, they didn't stop him, and he needed to release that anger that was building inside of him.

Now they had to start planning in how to save Kise before it was too late, he couldn't commit any mistake, because it will mean that they will lose him.

What is going to happen to Kise? Will they be able to save him?
