(Overall POV)
"Hey princess, look what we've bought!" Inui excitedly announced as he ran out on the porch, but only to discover that _ was nowhere to been seen. "Huh, where's princess?" Inui turned to face Samejima.
"She's probably in the livingroom or something." Samejima answered.
"Yeah, let's go and check."
The two males walked into the livingroom and was surprised to see that she was not here either. They tried looking in the kitchen, the little library, her and Soryu's shared bedroom, even Soryu's office. However, there was no sign of her. The two subordinates began to feel very uneasy, as it seemed like _ was nowhere in the house.
"Miss _, isn't here! What do we do?!"
"Inui, calm down. We have to call boss and tell him." Just as Samejima was about to dial his number, his phone started ringing and the display showed to other name than Soryu. Samejima answered the phone and greeted his boss as usual.
"How is everything going? Is _ all right? I was worried since she didn't answer her phone when I called." Soryu sounded more than a little worried as he questioned his subordinates through the phone.
"Actually, we seem to have a problem…" Samejima trailed off.
"A problem?" He sounded a little bit angrier now.
"Yes, you see…-"
"-PRINCESS IS GONE!" Inui grabbed Samejima's phone and yelled into the phone's microphone.
"What?"
"PRINCESS IS GONE!" he repeated.
"What do you mean, _ is gone?!" He definitely sounded angry now.
"She didn't want to come with us when we went out so we let her stay here, but when we came back she was nowhere to be found. None of the other Ice Dragons have seen her since we left either." Samejima had snatched back his phone and tried to explain to his boss what had happened. He could hear Soryu breathe out as he tried to calm himself.
"Ok, I'll come back as soon as I can. Try and see if you can find anything out. Any clues. Anything. And check the security cameras, ok?" Soryu didn't even wait for an answer before he hung up.
"I'll go and check the security cameras and you'll check the porch for anything unusual, ok?"
"I'll check the porch, got it!" Inui said before he ran out to the porch.
It had been around five hours since I had been kidnapped and brought to this cabin in the middle of nowhere. My kidnapper had gone out to chop some wood and had left me bound to a chair. The cabin was very small. It had a small couch in one corner, a little dining room table, with two chairs, in the other, a bed with just a little curtain in front of, I assume it's because a wall would take too much space, and a tiny little kitchen. The cabin was very outdated. It was like an eighty year old woman had decorated it. There was no electricity, and no running water. If you wanted water, you would have to take a bucket and go outside to one of those old fashion water-pumps and get the water from there.
"This really is an old cabin…" I spoke to myself just as the front door smashed open and my kidnapper stormed in.
"Who's here?!" He yelled. "I heard talking!"
"T-that was m-me. I just t-talked to myself…" I timidly spoke.
"Oh? It was only you?" He let all of the wood-chucks he had in his arms fall to the floor. "Good." He walked over to me and stroked my hair, just like he had done in the car a few hours earlier. "I thought it was someone else here." He laughed. "And I simply couldn't contain myself. So I got angry. I'm so sorry, _." He kissed the top of my hair. "I won't let anyone get between us." He said and tried to kiss my hair again but I managed to dodge him. "What's wrong, my dove? Don't you want your fiancé to kiss you? Are you shy?" He peered into my face.
"You're not my fiancé! I don't even know you! You're crazy." I know that this is probably not the smartest thing to do. To disagree with your kidnapper. But I can't stand the fact that he is calling himself my fiancé.
"Well I guess you're technically right. I'm not your fiancé. Yet." He smiled happily for himself as he walked over to a little nightstand next to the bed. "I have to give you your ring first! Then you'll be my real fiancé." The nightstand contained a little black box, which he took out and opened. Inside the little box was a ring. A quite beautiful ring, to be honest. He took the ring out of the box and put it on the ring finger on my left hand. "Look at how well it fits you! I bought it myself, you know." He said, ratter smugly as he studied the engagement ring. "Isn't it beautiful, my love?"
"Y-yeah it's very pretty…" I lied. I have to be careful of what I say. This guy is clearly not mentally stable. I can't risk making him mad, because if I do, he might kill me.
"I'm glad you think so." He smiled. "Well… It's been a long day, hasn't it, my love?" He didn't even wait for me to answer before he continued "I guess we better go to bed, after all… Tomorrow is going to be a big day…"

"Boss, have a look at this." Samejima waved Soryu over and showed him the computer screen. The screen showed a video of _ sitting at the porch reading.
"Ok? _ sitting on the porch. Is this what you wanted to show me?" Soryu asked the young subordinate.
"Just a second." Samejima replied as he typed away on his computer. A new figure walked in on the security video. He walked straight up to her and pulled out a gun. Pointing the gun at her, he made her walk out of view of the camera.
"That's our guy." Samejima paused the video and pointed at the kidnapper.
"That son of a bitch is gonna pay for threatening and kidnapping_!" Soryu slammed his fist at the wall in anger. "Samejima, I want you to find out who this guy is, where he lives, what he does for a living, anything you can find, ok?"
"Understood."
"Boss, look what I found!" Inui practically broke the door down as he ran into the security office.
"What is it?"
"An ID-card!" Inui gave Soryu the card. "I think this might be the ID-card to the kidnapper! I found it right next to where _ sat and read."
"Yeah, this is definitely him." Soryu leaned against the wall as he studied the card closer. After reading it for a while, Soryu stated, "So he works as a goldsmith…"
"A goldsmith?" Inui repeated.
"Samejima, go and talk with his boss and find out where this rat lives." Samejima simply nodded. "Inui, you come with me." Soryu said and walked out. Inui quickly followed.
"Yes, boss! …Um, where exactly are we going?"
"I'll tell you on the way. Now, come on!" Soryu raised his voice. It was clear that _ disappearance was affecting him. He missed her and could barely contain his anger.
Soryu's POV
I can't believe I'm doing this…
I had taken Inui with me back to Tres Spades Hotel and we were now standing in the lobby. I really didn't want to do this. I mean, normally the Ice Dragons could handle this all by themselves. But since I had given most of my men free, we were not nearly enough men to handle this. I need back up and these guys are the only back up I know of.
"Boss, why are we here?"
"We don't know how crazy this guy is, so we need back up."
The elevator door opened and we were greeted by five familiar faces.
"Sor? What are you doing here?" Baba asked.
"Got yaself lost or somethin'?" Mamoru puffed out a big cloud of smoke.
Geez, these guys never change. I know that I'll probably never hear the end of this but right now I don't have much of a choice. I swallowed my pride and spoke up. "I need help."
"What?" Ota looked like he had seen a ghost or something. "You? Need help?"
"Soryu, are you feeling ill?" Luke asked.
"No, I'm not ill."
"Hey, where's _?" Baba pointed out.
"That's what I need your help with." I took a deep breath "She's been kidnapped."
"What?" Eisuke finally spoke up.
"She was kidnapped while I was here planning the auction with you guys."
"Oh no, poor _." Baba looked genially concerned for her.
"We do have a clue as to who the person is, but we have no idea if there's more than one guy we're talking about here. So that's why we need back up."
"Please! You have to help us! Princess is in danger!" Inui yelled.
"Ok. We'll help." Eisuke stood up from where he had been sitting on the couch and walked over to me. He gave me a look and I nodded. I knew he still hadn't given up on her. I knew that. Which is probably why he wanted to help. Not because of me, but because of her. He still loved her, and it pained him that she was gone… just as much as it pained me…
