Firstly: I'm sososo sorry I haven't uploaded in like a month!!! I've just had so much school work... and a massive lack of ideas... and just generally not being that motivated. Well now I'm motivated because it's finally coming togethor and I finally know whats gonna happen in the end. Anyway enough of my babbling, here's chapter 13 (wow that far already!)
Enjoy :)
"Shuichi? Shuichi!" Yuki raced down the deserted corridor, heart pounding in his ears.
He was in the maze-like network of corridors and storage rooms in an abandoned warehouse.
He was thankful, for once, to have a brother-in-law like Tohma. Once again his connections had proved useful, as they had been able to find a lead on Shuichi's possible whereabouts quickly.
Of course it wasn't certain that Shuichi was here. It wasn't a reliable lead. An old security guard, leaving for the night, had seen something suspicious. Tohma had managed to find out about it and he had, of course, informed Yuki.
Now he was frantically searching, praying desperately to find Shuichi. He approached a door and stopped, panting in front of it.
He pushed the door open and-
*************
Shuichi came round groggily.
The lights were off and he couldn't see much, but as far as he could tell, the room was empty once more.
He tugged at the ropes around his arms but they wouldn't budge. He tried the ones on his legs, but with the same result.
He looked around the room; dim moonlight poured in through cracks in a boarded up window.
He strained his ears, hoping to hear people, someone coming to get him. His angel.
Nothing. Just the faint patter of rain outside the window. Except… footsteps. They were faint, but drawing closer rapidly.
They stopped outside the room.
Shuichi stared, both fearfully and hopefully, at the door, waiting for it to open.
The doorknob turned.
The door was flung open-
-saw nothing.
The room was empty, completely bare.
Yuki cursed. He scanned the room with his eyes quickly, searching for some missed detail.
Upon finding nothing he withdrew, closing the door behind him, and continued down the corridor.
****************
Shuichi tried to scream as the man from his nightmares entered the room.
The man approached, and Shuichi shrank back into the mattress, eyes not daring to stray from the approaching predator.
Reaching the bed, the man sat down next to Shuichi.
"You're awake again" he smiled. An unnatural, insane smile.
"Don't worry, no one will interrupt us this time." He was stroking Shuichi's face.
Shuichi tried to protest against the gag.
"Shhh shh, its fine" the man reassured, his hand moving down Shuichi's neck, caressing his stomach.
Shuichi squirmed, desperately trying to evade the insensitive touch.
The man made soothing noises, attempting to calm Shuichi.
He pulled out the knife.
"Fuck!" Yuki swore as he pulled open the door on yet another empty room.
He was about to leave, then something caught his eye.
On the far wall, was a message scrawled in large red letters
Hurry Eiri-kun, time is running out
The message made Yuki's heart stop for a moment and knocked the breath completely out of his body.
He realised he had moved towards the wall and was stretching out his hand to touch the message.
He did nothing to stop the movement of his hands, but shuddered when they touched the surface. It was still slightly sticky; his fingers came away with a slight tinge of red.
He was almost sick, right there, but as his head turned to the floor he saw something else.
Strands of pink hair, scattered on the ground below the message.
A red mist descended on him, and hard, pure fury boiled up inside him.
Someone was playing a game with him.
And he would damn well make sure that that someone wouldn't see this game through till the end.
Dun dun dunnnnnn another plot twist... hopefully it wont be too long a wait til the next chapter, but in the meantime, please review XD
