Chapter 12
"I sense danger." Okuso teased Youhei, who just glared at him.
On this particular day, the Sakuragi Gundam and Sendoh had gone to Danny's for a reunion. "Hanamichi, how have you been? I mean in Sendoh's house and living with the two of them. Must be a hell of fun ne?" Takamiya nudged Hanamichi, who just stared at him.
"Sendoh? No. I'm living with Kaede… why do you say that I'm living with the two of them?" He held the hands of Sendoh tight. "Kaede?"
Everyone froze as shock entered their faces.
Then Sendoh breaks the silence. "He DOES stay with me. And… he's very happy, right Hanamichi-kun?" Hanamichi smile and nodded. Everyone laughed and nodded but within their minds, each of them knows that Hanamichi's condition is getting worse. Sometimes, Sendoh became Rukawa, there was once where Hanamichi almost kissed the family doctor.
Youhei, who is just staring out of the window, was thinking of strangling Rukawa for leaving Hanamichi, just to get some stress off while Hanamichi's condition was getting more and more unstable. Not able to recognize people around him, not being able to differentiate between Sendoh and Youhei (taking the two of them as Rukawas, meaning he sees two Rukawas at the same time).
Youhei sigh and felt a sloppy kiss trail down his neck. He took the glass of peach tea and pours it on Sendoh's hair, which in turn, became flat out. "Aw… You-kun, why do you look so distracted? Thinking of me? \Whispers/ or izzit that bastard Rukawa?"
Youhei sigh. "Nothing."
--After Danny's--
"Bye!"
"Bye! Minna!" Hanamichi waved to the three members of Sakuragi Gundam.
"Sendoh where are we going now?" Sendoh took his hands and sigh. [Now I've become myself again. Sometimes I don't even know whether I'm Rukawa or I'm my dad's son.] "Sendoh are you all right? You seemed a bit off." Sendoh smiled and patted his shoulders.
"Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine with my You-kun here ne, You-kun? \Grins/"
"Shut up Akira! \Blush/" Hanamichi stared at Youhei and blurted out laughing.
"Hahaha! Youhei it's so hard to see you blush! Ah hahaha it's a pity the others aren't here, they would have laughed their head off. Hahaha"
"Hanamichi! \Blush/"
"All right, all right. Hm… Let's go to the theme park that had just opened shall we? I heard that it had moved from England and is staying for only a week. Let's not miss it." And with that, Sendoh pulled Hanamichi and Youhei along.

The night had fallen after the three of them ended their fun of the day. They sat down in a restaurant for dinner. Now they are having their dessert. Hanamichi spoke first. "Wow! That was fun! I love the indoor roller coaster!" Sendoh scooped Youhei's ice cream to eat. "Yeah! Pitch black, and we don't even know how high is the highest we've gone to! Gosh, I'm gonna come again tomorrow, ne You-kun?"
Youhei, not paying attention, was playing with his ice cream, not knowing that it's melting and eaten by Sendoh and Hanamichi. Hanamichi looked at him, worried. "Youhei are you all right? You don't seemed to be paying attention."
Youhei jerked his head. "Uh… yeah I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I'm just thinking about my results. Come on it's late already. Let's go home."
"Ok!"
Three handsome guys walked out of the restaurant and towards the car park without noticing they were being followed. "Youhei, Hanamichi. You wait here while I drive my car out." Hanamichi nodded but Youhei just stared at the floor, still thinking of how to torture Rukawa when he comes back.
Hanamichi stood there not wanting to disturb Youhei. Suddenly a hand went over his mouth and grabbed by a strong man, or men, deep into a dark alley behind him. Youhei, still deep in thoughts, did not notice that Hanamichi was gone.
--
"Let me go! What the hell do you think you're doing? I don't even know you!" His strength was all gone for four men, kicked, punched and slapped him. Then, one on each arm and legs, they pinned him face down onto the floor. "I said let me go! Youhei! Sendoh! Takayami! Arh! Teme! What do you think you are doing pinning me down? Kaede!"
"We've been eyeing on you for the pass three weeks and we think that you are very attractive boy…" Hanamichi was crying and struggling but his strength is gone in his state and the four men was just too strong for him.
--
Meanwhile, Youhei was still thinking about how devilish he could be when it comes to torturing people. [&*^%$^&*(^&*%%$#&% Rukawa]
--
[Kaede! Where are you… \sniff/ I need you… help… why don't you come for me? Where are you? Help me…]
Hanamichi was not struggling, consciousness started to fall out of him.
[Kaede… help… it's painful… don't leave me… I love… you…]
"Are you full?"
"With such a small amount of meal? Of course not!"
"Hahahahaha! We shall then go for a second round!"
"Yeah! I'm so hungry…"
"Let's go for a second round, maybe a third." He smirked evilly.
--
"I'm here! Youhei! Where's Hanamichi?"
Youhei looked to the left. "Oh he's just beside…" His eyes widen and flustered. "HE'S GONE!" Some of the passerby turn their head and looked at him.
"WHAT? I thought you were keeping an eye on him? Youhei!" Youhei panicked and turn about not knowing where to start looking for Hanamichi. Sendoh pulled Youhei and ran.
"He must be nearby. He couldn't have walked off on his own. Let's find him. We will find him." Seeing the determined and yet worried look on Sendoh's face, Youhei followed him.
--3 hours later--
Sendoh brushed away the tears on Youhei's cheeks and started to look for Hanamichi on the opposite road. "Come on, let's go there and have a look. We've not searched there yet." Youhei grabbed Sendoh's hand and pulled him close as they searched.
"We…I didn't lose him did I? I'm sorry. I shouldn't have…" Sendoh gave him a peck on his lips.
"It's ok. We will find him. Or he will be found."
Both of them searched restaurants, arcades, and even pleaded people in their home to look out for a redhead. Finally they reached a dark alley. "You don't think he's here do you Aki-kun?" Sendoh cautiously walked in. "Shall we look somewhere else? He can't come this far, especially in a dark alley. \Pause/ But then again, he might be kidnapped! Or even worse! Akira! It's all my fault."
Sendoh panted as they walked in deeper. "He's going to be ok…"
"ARH!" Both of them shouted in unison.
"What the…?"
"Why do I always tripped…? And what did I…?"
"Hanamichi!" It came out more like a gasp than a yell.
"Aki… wha…?" Youhei looked down and saw a naked, bruised body with blood on his butt and red hair lied facing down. "HANAMICHI! Gosh… Hanamichi…"
Tears, which had just dried, have begun to form again. Youhei hugged Hanamichi's lifeless body. Sendoh took off his jacket while Youhei took off his shirt and covered Hanamichi.
"I'll go get my car."
" Please…go… quick..."
Youhei pushed him out of the alley and carried Hanamichi out to the pavement to wait for Sendoh's car.
