A/N: Aaand the next arc. Quite short, unfortunately. Here in Germany we got above 30°, I'm dying. Short note, enjoy reading.
The two were not the only ones buying something for Akihisa's birthday. In fact, so did the Kinoshita twins, Minami, Hazuki, Himeji and Aiko.
"It's so sunny and hot today!" Himeji smiled. "Yeah...what should we buy Akihisa? We've to focus on shopping." said Aiko. "Oh, right...I thought something like a video game would be good." "Which one? What does he like?" "M-maybe a dating simulator or...an eroge?" Himeji blushed deeply. "Oh well." sighed Aiko, "I guess an eroge really might be the best. But please one's with older sisters, just in case." "Y-Yoshii-kun would never play something like that!" yelled Himeji, blushing. "Yeah-yeah, just joking!" Aiko had her usual cat-like, teasing face.
After they bought a gift (really an eroge; poor Akihisa...), they went home. "Hey, I know a shortcut! This way!" said Aiko. "B-but that's such a tiny and filthy street." murmured Himeji. "Don't be ridiculous, what could probably happen here?" laughed Aiko, when she saw something. "Hey, what...?" Suddenly they were surrounded by masked silhouettes. "Ninjas!" yelled Himeji. "No! Don't be silly! These are rapists!" The guys looked confused at them. "No, we're not! We want to take this voluptuous girl with us!" "You know that you sound like rapists?" said Aiko. "Whatever. Anyway, we'll knock you out and capture her." "Hey, what –" Someone hit her with a bat; then they silenced Himeji and dragged her away.
Aiko awoke with a terrible headache, lying on the cold ground. "Where...where am I? Oh, right, we went into this gutter and then..." She remembered everything. "Himeji!" She grabbed her cellphone and dialed the numbers of everyone. "We'll meet at my place in an hour. Attendance is mandatory. No excuses."
After an hour they all were gathered. Aiko looked around. Minami, Yuuji, Shouko, Akihisa, Hideyoshi, Muttsurini, everyone was there. "Hey, where's Himeji?" asked Akihisa. "Well...do you see these bandages?" "Yeah. So what?" "I was in this gutter with her, and then they knocked me down...she's probably a hostage right now!"
"Whaaat?! Don't fuck around!" "Are you stupid?" Everyone yelled. "No! I'm telling the truth!" Suddenly Akihisa's phone rang. "Unknown number..." He turned on the speaker. A distorted voice said:
"We have Himeji Mizuki. Don't call the police. If you want to see her alive again, you and your friend Yuuji have to run naked through the mall. Goodbye."
"W-what? Are they fucking kidding me?!" yelled Akihisa. "Well, I guess not." "I'm not running naked through the mall. I won't run around naked anyway!" screamed Akihisa. "Me too!" added Yuuji. "Damn..." sighed Shouko and Minami. "Hey! You're supposed to be innocent high school students!"
"Anyway, what are we going to do? I mean, if you wear panties on your face it might work out, but..." "No! We won't, Hideyoshi! Neither me nor Yuuji! Right?" Akihisa looked at Yuuji, who seemed to be lost in his thoughts."Hm? Yeah, yeah. But come to think of it...don't you think it's rather strange? Usually you take someone for ransom and blackmail the parents or partners. But this isn't the case..." "So the criminals must be somewhat connected to you two!" concluded Shouko. "It must be someone who holds a grudge against me and Akihisa...but who hates us that much?" "Hmm..." Nobody seemed to have a clue, until Aiko looked up. "Nemoto!" "Right! We forced him into crossdressing and he lost his girlfriend due to this. It surely is Nemoto. so...what now?" Yuuji looked up. "Ain't it clear? We'll send our ninja, the best spy of the world: 00Perv!" "My name is Tsuchiya. Kouta Tsuchiya." "I knew you meant Muttsurini." sighed Hideyoshi. "Ahem...you'll follow Nemoto and survey him. Maybe you'll get some nice shots of a tied up, helpless Himeji." Muttsurini got a nosebleed. "Leave it to me!" He disappeared.
"And what do we do now?" "We'll wait."
Himeji opened her eyes. 'What happened? Ah, right...we were in the gutter and then...' "Aiko!" she yelled, just to hear someone chuckle. "Kukuku...she's not here." "Who are you? What have you done to her?" "Who knows?"
A figure came out of the shadows; the voice sounded slightly familiar, but she didn't know who it was. His face wasn't visible, he wore a mask. A fucking clown mask. "You look really sick." said Himeji bluntly. "Whatever.", answered the guy. "Anyway, you're our hostage now. And you should stay quiet, or else..." "Or else?" asked Himeji scared. "Or my friends will have some 'fun' with you." She heard dirty laughter. "You're really sick. You'll pay for this!" "Will I?"
