Chapter 11: Alone
Head of the orphanage, pacing on the floor on the living room. She only hoped the two men would d be fine. How could this happen? What's wrong Hitomi until she was kidnapped? She saw the sky was dark hours ago, but Nowaki and Kamijou-san did not return. What happened to them? The nun turned around when she heard footsteps entering the front door of the orphanage. He turned and found Nowaki walked into the living room of Kusama's Orphanage.
"Wa-chan! Did you...?" he asked with a worried
"... No .." Nowaki replied, sitting with a limp on the couch
"Who? You did not find Hitomi?" Asked the nurse
"Both."
The sisters began to realize the sudden tone on Nowaki. Not, perhaps more accurately a very sad tone. Painful. He knew there was something beyond Hitomi.
"Wa-chan? Where ... where's Kamijou-san?" asked the nun carefully
"I ... I don't know ... I can't find him. Maybe I'll be looking for him again." Said Nowaki, suddenly got up
"Wa-chan! Where are you going?" the nun asked, trying to reach his arm
"Looking for Hiro-san, of course." Nowaki said, without turning to face him, in a choked voice as if in despair
Head nun had never heard his voice choked up like this.
"Wa-chan! This is late! You can't do that. What happens to Kamijou-san?"
"Hiro-san ... he-he probably also been kidnapped ... Hitomi. All my fault ... no .. Hiro-san, I have to find it .." said Nowaki as he began to walk
"Wa-chan! Take control of your emotions! Get in! Now!" nurse said sternly that makes Nowaki looked at her in surprise
Nowaki once again go into the orphanage and the living room couch.
"Have you called the police about Hitomi and Kamijou-san?" the nurse asked with a smooth
"Yes, sister. But they can not do much because they don't get a clue." Said Nowaki
"Oh, Wa-chan, why do not you go back home and rest? You know, with your emotions like this, you probably shocked. How that's sound? Could you go home alone? I could go with you, Wa-chan."
"No sister. Thank you. I can do it. I'm going home, then, sister. Sorry to bother you."
Nowaki opened the door to his apartment. Darkness and silence greeted him, making him once again punctured his chest.
"I'm home .." he said, used to
Nowaki clenched his jaw and swallowed hard. His throat tighten with pain.
Hiro-san.
In his head just spinning one name. He dragged his feet and dropped his body on the sofa. He could almost hear his Hiro-san about the sofa that will soon be damaged if Nowaki use with rough like that. Nowaki laugh with sad and frustrating tone. His laughter echoed in their apartment. Yes. 'Their' apartement.
He was alone now. Since childhood he had no parents, so he could get used with being alone . But growing up he was getting a foster parent. Then at the end of his high school, he met Hiro-san. He never felt alone after that, except when he went to America. Nowaki bit his lip and felt the tears running down his cheeks. He rarely cried, hardly even, except...perhaps when Kamijou Hiroki send postcards to end their relationship when Nowaki back from America.
If only he didn't decided to play 'following-Hiro-san' from a only he called Hiroki sooner and walk with him to the orphanage. If only he decided not to eavesdropped next to the building. If only he hold Hiro-san when he was run passing by him. If only...
Nowaki sighed and stopped his train of thought. Nowaki got up and walked unsteadily to their bed. He threw himself onto the bed. His face sank on the pillow. He inhaled deeply, realizing that there is a Hiroki's scent stuck in the pillow, as well as his own aroma. His chest hurt as if there is a broken rib in his chest every time he breathes. He clutching clothes on his chest, slowly drowning in his restless sleep.
Hiroki suddenly opened his eyes. He took a breath and foreign smell in the air. He doesn't recognize this place. This place is dark, there's only moonlight through the glass window next to him. His eyes blinked once again and began to adjust his surroundings, especially low light. He moves about to get up but a pain in his arm prevent further moves.
"Shit." Hiroki muttered
He tried to get up without moving too much with his arm. Slowly he tried to sit down and begin to realize the pain that interferes in his left arm. He could feel ropes tightened around his wrists, on his back. He tried to move a bit his left arm and grateful at least his arm is not broken. His left arm was sore. A wound like his hand had been dragged something rough. His skin must be flushed with red pain now.
What has happened? Hiroki said to himself
A pain in the head to hit him, recalls the events that inevitably he recalls. He is pursuing the kidnappers who was taken Hitomi in the park. He managed to make it down the kidnappers and catch Hitomi, but then followed by an explosion of pain in the head. Hiroki think it must have been a pain that made him unconscious.
Where's Hitomi? Hiroki realized
He was sure he catch that baby girl in his hand. He remember to hear her uncomfortable crying. The kidnapers must be taken away from him. He looked around the room. Faintly under moonlight he could only guess that the wall is coloured with white paint. There's a wooden desk under the glass window. He strained his ears trying to listen to voices from outside. Hiroki got up and see what lies beyond, behind the window there. Apparently he was on the second floor. He could just break the glass and jump down, but it would attract attention at night. And he had his wrists was being bound with rope, so he couldn't do nothing. A strike of pain interfere his head again.
Damn it! I can't think with this pain in my head! I guess i could wait until morning then. Hiroki said to himself
0-0-0-0-0-Time Skip-0-0-0-0-0
Nowaki opened his eyes lazily. He did not want to do anything today. He feels there is no point in living without Hiroki at his side. Nowaki breathed and moved up from his bed. He began the day a week with morning shower and breakfast from the food he had from the refrigerator. He warms to microwaves. He began to chew his food, thinking to find a way how he can find Hitomi and ... of course, his Hiro-san. Hitomi wondered why he was kidnapped? Is he just a coincidence victim of kidnappings ? The pediatrician heard a few times about child trafficking and the illegal child trafficking. Is that the reason? Hitomi does not have a background that can be linked with kidnappings.
Unless...
Hitomi have no kind of that background, but maybe her parents?
Nowaki move from the high chair with a rush and looking for handphone lying on the living room. He remembered that he kept a number Seijirou or Fukuda-san. Nowaki tried calling Seijirou
"Hello. Seijirou speaking." Said the voice on the other side
"Seijirou. This is Kusama. Do you remember me?" asked Nowaki
"Kusama-sensei! Of course I remember you. How Hitomi? Is she adopted? Mother was trying to contact her friends in Tokyo, so ..."
"Look, Seijirou. Sorry to cut your words. But, apparently, Hitomi's not adopted yet."
"Oh, well, good then! Maybe if she could wait for a few years when i reach my illegal age, i could adopt her! Well, then, Kusama-sensei why did you call me then?" asked Seijirou
"Hitomi...She's been kidnapped." said Nowaki rather quickly
For three seconds, Nowaki thought the phone line gone off.
"Seijirou? Are you there?" ask Nowaki
"No. It can't be..." said Seijirou in a whisper
"Unfortunately, it is. Do you have any idea who behind all this? Is her parents somewhat went to trouble which involve Hitomi?" ask Nowaki
"They wouldn't let Hitomi involved on this! I'm sure!" said Seijirou, began to sound desperate
"Do you know anything who might caused this? "
For a few moment, there's only harsh breathing sound from Seijirou.
"I suppose...this could be the right moment to tell you, Kusama-sensei. " said Seijirou, in a choked voice
