AN: This chappie was just a one go kinda thing. No rereading or anything.
But hey, if u find a mistake feel free to tell me. Something like, oh it
was a mistake for u to even start writing this story, works too. ^^ It's a
longer chap than my normal. Still kinda short. Sorry, tho. My brain can't
write too much or else it'll shut down on me. Some Makino/Tsukasa in here.
FINALLY. I totally forgot about them for the longest time. So there back!
No fluff tho, just like. groupie friend fluffiness. Blah, just read on.
ToinKs - Heh heh, I'll try to explain Yuki's side. The actual reason is because that's just the way I think and so I just write. But here, let's pretend that Yuki's breaking out of her shy shell and she's beginning to feel more comfortable around F4. We're ..uh.. just getting to know her better now. ^^ And sorry! Here's a fast update to make up for the cliffie. Thx for reviews!
Jestina - I wondered where u went! I kept thinking, nooo jestina's left me. Glad to see your still reading my story. ^^ Hehe I feel so tempted to tell you what I have planned, but I won't. Won't spoil the fun for you. ^^ And yea, F2 didn't ask Tsukushi cuz she was out with Doumyouji. They're kinda off in their own lil Lala land. Plus, Tsukushi never knew. Thank you for reviewing! Read on!
Lirpa! Thx for ur review. ^^ *beams*
Yoitzjgirl - sorry! But still glad u liked it. This ones longer! I promise! Tho they're still kinda. weird on the personality thing. HEH HEH.

~*~*~*~ Ch. 10 Kidnapped ~*~*~*~
"Oey"
I looked over at Akira with a questioning look on my face.
"You like her, don't you?"
I blinked in surprise. "Akira, what are you -"
I don't even know my own feelings for her and here's my best friend telling me I like Yuki. My playboy friend. The one who stood by my side as we swapped phone numbers from our little black books. The one who never doubted me as a friend and was always there to help me escape a bad date. For some reason, walking along side him, I felt ashamed.
"It's okay," He said, running a hand through his long hair. His parents were constantly trying to get him to cut it, often calling me and telling me to drag him off to the hair stylist. He turned and smiled at me. "It's okay, man. I don't care. I think it's great that your heart is settling down."
I stopped walking as we reached the door to Rui's room, our destination. "Akira, I don't -"
"Yes, you do. Stop trying to deny it. Okay, so you're a playboy. But hey, these things happen, y'know?"
When? When did it happen? Why was it that he saw it happening and I didn't.
Akira smiled a genuine smile. Not the kind we normally do.. not a façade, just a smile from best friend to best friend. "Hope this doesn't change anything between us. And I better be the Best Man at the wedding or I'm crashing it."
I grinned back at him and patted his shoulder. Like I said, this man was truly my best friend.
My hand closed on the door knob and as I opened the door I said, "Never. Rui'll be the Best Man."
Rui ignored us as Akira attacked me and we tumbled into the room, my head hooked in a death lock as Akira yelled, "WHO's gonna be the best man? SAAAY IT!"
Half laughing and half choking I managed to yell out a "You will!!"
Laughing the both of us collapsed on the floor.
I grinned, simply couldn't help it. It was great knowing that your friends will always be there for you.
It was also a great feeling when you realize you like someone. But hey, it's just a crush, right?
Rui remained silent in front of his laptop. "Rui, what are you up to? Found anything?" I asked, a silly grin still plastered on my face.
There was a long pause before Rui said in a monotonous voice, "Yamamoto Hiroaki."
The stupid grin was still there. "Eh?"
"His sister, Ai, was killed in a car accident three years ago. The event was so traumatizing that Yamamoto had to be hospitalized in a mental asylum." Rui continued in a flat voice. "There was a small article in the newspaper a few months ago that I did not think was of significance. It spoke of a patient who escaped from the mental ward of the hospital."
"So.. we've got an escaped mental patient on our hands who apparently wants to kill Yuki." Akira summed it up.
Yea.. just about.
Shit.
I groaned. "Damnit. This is just great. And now what are we supposed to do?"
Rui stood up and nodded at us to get back on our feet. "We're going to go to Yamamoto's house and figure this out."
Hahaha, very funny Rui. As if we can actually just walk into the house of some mentally deranged person and ask him if he's stalking our friend. That is, if we can even say anything before insane person attacks us.
I think not.
"No way!" I yelled. "Look, there's got to be another way. Can't we just.. keep an eye on the house for a while? Or get a few of our body guards to get over there since they're doing nothing hanging around our house anyway?"
"I second that." Akira said.
Before we could say anything else, the front door was opened loudly and we could hear Makino and Tsukasa.
"Hello people! Yuki? Hanazawa? Nishikado? Mimasaki?"
There was a pause in which we heard Tsukasa curse loudly and then the front door slammed. The two were loose in the house now.
"So," said Akira with forced cheerfulness, "Who wants to be the one to break the news?"
"OEY!" Tsukasa was yelling angrily at being ignored.
"His highness calls! I nominate Rui." I said before dashing out the door followed closely by Akira. Rui dragged on behind us.
~*~*~*~*~*~ Yuki at the same time ~*~*~*~*~*~ well.. not the same time. -_- nvm
I pried my eyes open and I acknowledged that it was no longer raining. At least.. not here. My hands were bound behind me and I was crumbled on the floor.
"Ugh." I whimpered as I realized exactly how disgusting the floor was. It was wet.. but a sick, dark, slimy wetness that threatened to make me puke.
"What the heck happened?" I asked no one.
My head hurt a lot, for one. For another, I was freezing. I must have left the mansion without meaning to stay out for long. My flimsy jacket did nothing to stop the chills from running down my back.
I tried to rewind the days events in my head.
Water, ocean, rocks, walking, umbrella, rain, sofa, Nishikado, Mimasaki, too close, fainting, Hanazawa.
I shook my head and then immediately regretted it as it felt like shaking a can with lose nails in it. Alright, running through words did not seem to help.
"Ah." I said, as realization dawned. Crazy ex boyfriend probably knocked me out. I decided.
Looking around the dark room, I shuddered. "I am SO not prepared to meet this ex bf."
Closing my eyes and trying not to cry I let out another whimper. "Someone get me out of here."
~*~*~*~*~*~ Back to F4 and Makino Tsukushi ~*~*~*~*~
The F4 and Makino sat on the sofa staring at each other for what seemed like eternity.
I blinked. Makino blinked back at me. After a few more minutes she slowly asked, "So what?"
Rui sighed, "You guys are idiots."
Akira and I had just finished telling Tsukasa and Makino about Yamamoto Hiroaki. Even though I suggested that Rui tell the story, he only sat there staring at Makino until Tsukasa blew up and told us to either tell him what was the matter or he'll wring our necks. We spilled.
"We think he's the one who is stalking Yuki." Rui explained slowly.
Aha, that was the piece of information we forgot to mention before.
"Speaking of which, where is she?" Makino asked.
Akira and I turned to look at each other. Where is she? "Uh.. we left her about.. an hour ago here." I said.
I winced. The look on Makino's face suggested that I either run now or die a slow and painful death.
"You left her? You LEFT her? You left HER?" She was yelling.
Tsukasa backed away, sliding down a little away from her. "Makino, she's probably just in her room." He attempted to say.
But she was already out of the living room and racing up the flight of stairs.
"So, who's brilliant idea was it to leave her to her thoughts?" asked Akira, his eyebrow quirking up.
"Shut up, you idiot." [AN: LoL, I always end Nishikado part with a "shut up", don't I?]
~*~*~*~*~*~ Yuki ~*~*~*~*~*~
I struggled against the bindings that refused to let me stand up or even move my arms. I could almost loosen the ropes.
I struggled a little more wildly and then finally gave up. All that my actions did was make me slid down the wall I was leaning against and now I was lying on the disgusting floor with a my face practically in the water. I shifted around, trying to prevent myself from drinking in the filth.
What did I ever do to deserve this? And why would someone knock me out and just leave me in this filthy, stupid, dark room to rot?
Oh, right, deranged ex boyfriend. Can't forget about that guy. Stupid Eisuki or Hisaki or Izumo. Retarded person whom I can't even remember the name of.
I coughed. Why is it that my live had to change so drastically all of a sudden? I'm a happy person, aren't I? At least I try to be. I'm in high school now, leading a good life. I may be poor but I've got my share of friends. I'm too young to die. I'm too young to be killed by some retarded idiot from my past.
"Damnit, someone hurry up and come find me."
~*~*~*~ Nishikado ~*~*~*~
"Yuki?"
We weaved through each of the floors of the Doumyouji beach house. Where was she?
"Yuki??" The five of us were frantically looking for the one lost member of our group. The one person we had sworn to protect.
"HOW could you just leave her in the room ALL BY HERSELF?" Makino yelled.
"It's not like she's not capable of taking care of herself just because we decide to leave the room for a moment." I tried to reason with her.
"Shut up, Nishikado. Because of you, Yuki might be out there with some crazy ex bf by the name of Yamamoto."
Rui cleared his throat softly. "I suggest that we go to his house and see if he took Yuki away."
"You can't just TAKE her away, Rui," Tsukasa roared, feeling the anxiety coming from his girlfriend. "I've got the top security system in the world, alright?"
After a full half an hour of searching, we found no sign of Yuki in the huge mansion. We found ourselves back in the family living room. I walked over and looked at the stack of umbrellas the maids had left beside the double doors. Fingering them, I counted five umbrellas. Each a different color, obviously meant for each of the guests in the house.
Five umbrellas? Then Yuki's is..
"Guys, Yuki just went out." I said, heaving a mental sigh. Thank goodness. Nothing happened to her. She's just out for a walk or something.
"Maybe she went for a walk to try to cope with her feelings." I said.
Makino came up beside to stare down at the umbrellas as well. "That makes sense."
"Great," said Tsukasa, "But that doesn't rule out kidnapping. We'll wait for a while, but if she doesn't come back, I'm making a few phone calls."
Makino began crying beside me. Alarmed, I stepped away.
"What's wrong?" Rui asked in a warm voice.
Tsukasa slipped her into his embrace, resting his head on top of her. "What's wrong, Makino, you can tell me."
She shook her head softly. "Nothing," she murmured, "I just never knew. I was never there for her. I wasn't a good enough friend."
"Nobody knew. It's okay. Now that we do know, we can be there for her." Said Rui gently.
"You guys," Makino choked out, pulling away from Tsukasa, "Thank you so much for everything.
And with that, she pulled all four of us into a hug which we returned.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Yuki ~*~*~*~*~
It had been more than half an hour since I had been awake. And still no sign of anything. I shivered at the thought that this wet floor may well be my grave.
I heard some footsteps and a light turned on. I could see it in the outline of the door that was across the room. Small slivers of light peeped through the gaps between the wall and the door, allowing me to see. Not that it helped, for the room was completely empty except for the silhouette of a chair in a corner.
I wriggled closer to the door, trying to catch a voice or some hint of what was going on.
Keys jingled and someone was whistling gaily. A door opened and slammed and the whistling soon faded. I heard the sound a car engine turn on and then the car was rolling away.
I closed my eyes and clenched my fist. "You psycho ex boyfriend, come back and untie me."
~*~*~*~*~ Nishikado ~*~*~*~*~
It had been another half an hour, and all of us were more than worried.
Makino was near tears again and Rui looked like he could do no more to restrain himself from comforting her.
"Can we please go look for her?" Makino asked. "Maybe she tripped and fell and is just out there somewhere in the cold."
We all stood up and grabbed an umbrella. Walking out into the lightly drizzling rain, we walked down the wet path. Whatever footsteps that might have been were washed away long ago.
In the distance, we saw something large a pink by the shore.
Oh no.. was all I could think. The missing umbrella was pink, the same color as the room Yuki stayed in.
F4 stood on the wet sand, refusing to take another step closer.
I dreaded it. I did not want to know.. did not want to know what all of us knew in the first place.
Makino lifted the pink umbrella and turned back to look at us.
Yuki was gone..
Kidnapped.
