Daisuke felt something was wrong. He raced down the hallways in search of Riku. She was nowhere to be found. He barged into the throne room while a commoner was trying to tell his problem to Kosuke who wasn't listening very well. He sat up when he saw Daisuke enter. He was mad. "Where's Riku? What have you done with her? I know you've done something. I can't find her anywhere!" he said as he stormed up beside the commoner. The man slid over the slightest bit. "I don't know what you're talking about. I haven't seen that wretched girl all day thank-goodness." He answered lazily. Daisuke balled his hands into fists and was barely able to control his anger. "Give her back NOW! Just because you hate her doesn't mean you can take her away from me!" he yelled. The man slid over more with a frightened look on his face. Kosuke examined his fingernails before he answered. "No. She doesn't belong here. If you hadn't of married her instead of Mio then she would be safe right now. Good luck trying to find her." He said. Daisuke couldn't stand it anymore. He stormed up the step and not before too long Kosuke was on the ground, a fist print forever imbedded in his cheek. The commoner looked at them frightened. He was glad he wasn't Kosuke.
Riku struggled as hard as she could. She was in chains against the wall. The guard only laughed at her attempts before turning his back to her. Riku stopped struggling and downcast her face. Tears rolled down and hit the hard cement floor. This wasn't supposed to happen. Never again. "Why?" she asked herself. Memories started to flood her mind of her and Daisuke. She started to sing a song to herself. It was the song she had secretly called their song. 'First Love.' She was silenced by a glare from the guard. Daisuke, I miss you. I love you.
Daisuke sat his father's study along with his father. "Understand? One more wrong move and she gets it." He threatened. Daisuke nodded solemnly his eyes downcast. "Good. Now that that's out of the way, you may leave." He said with an evil smile. Daisuke walked to the door and had it half way open before he spoke. "Bastard." He said as he closed the door behind him. He walked down the hallway. What had Riku done to deserve this? Nothing that he could think of. He went to his room and sat on the bed. He looked at the empty space beside him. He frowned. Again. The next week he didn't speak at all. Not even to Emiko. He was beginning to get weak. He wasn't eating, talking, or anything. He was just there to be there. If Riku was going to die, so would he. He wouldn't let his father be happy. Finally, one day he collapsed in the hallway. Emiko was worried. She had noticed the changes in his attitude. She sat beside him in the hospital wing. He woke up was barely audible. "Find Riku and save her." He told her. She looked at him surprised. She got up and stormed to her husband. "WHERE IS SHE?" she screamed at him. "Why do you want to know?" he asked. "Because when our son starts to be affected by your stupid wants and evil plans, I won't stand by and watch anymore. NOW WHERE IS SHE?" she demanded. He was frightened. He had never seen this side of his wife before. He pointed at the tower. She raced off up to the tower. The guard was so frightened by her attitude that he handed over the key no questions asked. Riku was unconscious and in chains. She would defiantly kill him now.
Riku woke up and looked around. Where was she? She saw white bed all around her. They were all empty except for one beside. She looked at him and realized who it was. Daisuke. She jumped out of her bed and raced to his side. He was barely breathing. She panicked. "Daisuke! What's the matter? What happened to you?" she asked frantically. His eyes fluttered open to see Riku standing over him. "R-Riku?" he asked. She took his hand and squeezed it gently. He smiled and looked at her. Emiko entered the room. "Lay down Riku. He just needs to eat. He practically starved himself because he was so worried about you." She said when she saw Riku standing over Daisuke. Riku looked at him. "You dummy. Starving yourself isn't going to help bring me back." She said as she smiled slightly at him. He smiled back. Things would get better he hoped.
Emiko watched the couple. Kosuke wouldn't live to see another day when she got through with him.
The next chapter will be exciting and the last chapter will round the intire thing off so be ready!
