Disclaimer: Don't own, don't own, but I DO own a copy of Another Note, and it's awesome, and Misora is going to find her way in here somewhere. Because she's pure kick ass. Liked her in the manga, liked her in the novel. Penbar got skills.

Note: This has been an unusually long period in between updates, hasn't it? It is because I have hit a slight snag. I have plenty of ideas left, but I want some better ones. I'm going to go through all my mangas again to try to find some proper plot points I can develop, rather than prancing around Matsuda's psyche like a freaking fairy. Not that there's much wrong with that - it's fun to write - but there's only so many chapters of that I can put up before I feel guilty about not having something more substantial.

Anyway, here's an update until I can think of something better.

Breach

Prompt: 45. Baby

Kidnapped. The Chief's daughter, grabbed by someone she didn't know, bundled in a truck, a plane, a cellar…

It was all conjecture, of course. If he'd had any idea of how the kidnapping had happened or where Sayu was now, Matsuda would have been sorely tempted to go chasing after them himself.

It wasn't just the Chief, though, it was Light - he'd spoken calmly when they were informed of what had happened by the kidnappers, thought logically, tried to construct a plan. Matsuda thought that maybe he knew better. Even if he wasn't showing it now, back when they had been at the Chief's house, he had definitely noticed a fondness in Light's eyes when he looked at his little sister.

That is, when he hadn't been noticing the little sister herself.

God, she'd gotten beautiful.

And the thoughts of what might happen to her, what the kind of thugs who might be behind this could decide to do with that beauty…

Matsuda shuddered. He'd rather have Kira take over the world than have the Chief go through that.

And maybe that would be the way things ended up going.
