Chapter 10: Kidnapping II

Tsukushi's eyes fluttered open. She felt groggy and dizzy. Her hands and feet were bound by rope. She looked around and saw nothing. There were no lights, no windows. It was pitch black. She last remembered being kidnapped and taken somewhere with Ryoko. Tsukushi's eyes widened, Ryoko! Where is she? Tsukushi called out for Ryoko but nobody answered. She assumed they were split up.
Then she heard someone coming. She braced herself for what might come. This wasn't the first time she was kidnapped but that was always on school grounds. This time she didn't know what these people wanted.
The man who came in had a mask on. "What do you want with me??" Tsukushi said in Japanese then in English when the man didn't respond.
"You have a rich boyfriend who will pay us handsomely for your safe return, half a billion to be exact."
Tsukushi was horrified by the amount of money they requested. Half a billion US dollars was 500 billion yen. That was a crazy amount. She knew Tsukasa was rich but not THAT rich. Besides where can he get the money at this short notice?
"You're crazy. He wouldn't pay that much for a girl. I'm just a friend of his, nobody special." She hoped to convince them that she was unimportant; hence, they would let her go.
"That would be a problem if he doesn't come for you, we wouldn't get our reward. but then again we could find other ways for compensation."
Tsukushi blanched. The man was looking at her lecherously. Her heart raced. She tried thinking of what she could do to escape. Then she remembered she had a tracking device on her cell phone. Tsukasa would be able to find her. She relaxed a bit. She knew he'd come to save her.
********
Tsukasa hated the feeling of helplessness. He had all the power at his disposal but he couldn't do anything to save the girl he loved. He was holding his cell phone hoping that Tsukushi's signals would show up soon. Just then his cell phone beeped. Tsukushi's signal showed up for a few seconds then turned off again. He told his driver the location and told him to step on it. It was Funakoshe's estate. Tsukasa knew he wouldn't have given up that easily.
Tsukasa was almost there when his cell phone beeped again. Tsukushi's signal moved, but not far, it was another 20-minute drive.
Tsukasa didn't take long to think about whom to save first. Tsukushi. Gomen Ryoko. He told the driver the new address.
********
Ryoko's eyes fluttered open under the bright light. She looked around and saw that she was in a brightly lit room. It was very spacious with flowers decorations all over the walls and ceilings. It was clearly a room made for girls. She was on top of a king size bed that had sheer curtains. It seemed like something for queens. Her hands and feet weren't tied so she wondered why she was brought here.
Just then an old lady walked in. "Funakoshe-sama wants to see you."
Ryoko narrowed her eyes, "Funakoshe?" She should've known that man was behind all this. She didn't see Tsukushi around anywhere. "Where's the other girl that was with me?"
"I don't know. I'm just a servant here."
"Where is he?"
"Funakoshe-sama is waiting for you. This way please." Ryoko followed the old lady down the hall, to Funakoshe.
They entered the room, which turned out to be the master bedroom. It was like all the rest of the house was very grand. Even though the room had a lot of ornaments, the place seemed very cold to her. There was nothing personal or beautiful about it. Funakoshe was sitting on one of the huge chairs. Ryoko thought he looked to be in his 50s. He stood up when Ryoko came in. He wasn't very tall; she didn't think he even reached six feet. His black hair had hints of gray and he sported a beard. He didn't look too bad but he was definitely no beauty. He was a bit on the chubby side.
"What do you want with me?" Ryoko demanded.
"I told you I'd have you. I don't say empty words."
"Just because you're rich doesn't mean you can do anything you want. Kidnapping me is a crime. I'll have you arrested."
Funakoshe laughed. "Kidnap? I didn't kidnap you, rather someone else dropped you on my doorstep."
"You're lying. Show me to my friend."
"It doesn't matter whether you believe me or not. But you were kidnapped because of your friend. Since you're her friend you should know that she has a rich boyfriend who will pay handsomely for her return."
Ryoko realized that it was Doumyouji's money the kidnappers were after. She should've realized. The rich are always targets. That's why she tended to avoid them.
"The reason you're here instead of with your friend is because I've made it known that I want you."
"Let me tell you now that I won't become another one of your toys. You can't keep me here against my will. The contract was declared void."
Funakoshe laughed. "Silly girl. Do you think I need some legal document to obtain you? Something as trivial as laws wouldn't stop me from making you mine. You might as well get used to the fact that I'm not letting you go." He walked to the television. "Let me show you my collection." He turned on the television and Ryoko saw the screen divide into 9 different pictures, but they all had the same content, girls. In each section Ryoko saw naked girls chained up with whip marks all over them.
She wanted to puke. "How could you do this to them?" There were so many girls.
"They're my private collection. I have girls in each of my houses all over the world. It's great to be rich."
"You're going to pay for this."
Funakoshe laughed again. "You don't seem to realize that nobody can harm me. Cops come and go. Occasionally they obtain a warrant to search my home but they can't find anything. And then they learn not to investigate me anymore, they learn the hard way."
********
Tsukasa arrived at the location Tsukushi was being hidden, an abandoned warehouse. Heedless of his bodyguards' warnings he charged in. There were only 2 guys inside watching the girl.
At the noise, Tsukushi turned and saw Tsukasa. She was so happy to see him that her eyes grew misty.
Tsukasa punched the two men before they even had time to reach for their guns. The bodyguards winced. They knew firsthand how hard Tsukasa punches although these people deserved it.
Tsukasa saw Tsukushi on the floor. He went down and hugged her hard.
"What took you so long!?!?!?" Tsukushi hugged Tsukasa just as hard.
"Gomen, I'm here now."
They stayed in each other's arms until one of the bodyguards cleared his throat. "What should we do with these two?"
"Take them back for questioning. Make them say who hired them. Use whatever means necessary."
"Ryoko, Do you know where's Ryoko? She was taken with me," Tsukushi asked.
Then Tsukasa remembered, "Funakoshe." He turned to Tsukushi, "Let's go. She might be in trouble."
"You don't think he's going to do anything to her right?"
Tsukasa squeezed Tsukushi's hand.
********
"I want you to forget about leaving here. Nobody's going to come and rescue you." He wanted to break her will. He loved it when strong girls were broken. And the fastest way to do that was this.
He grabbed her by the wrist and forced a kiss on her. She tried to shove him away, but he was too strong. "NO!!! Stop it!"
"Yell all you want, nobody's going to come to save you."
Ryoko started crying, if I had known this was going to happen I would've done it with someone else.
