Hold me Tightly
Chapter 7. We have a problem!
Jane rushed through the corridors holding the files tightly in her hands.
'How something could happen for so long without any of us realizing it, is beyond me.'
Finally reaching Gabrielle's office she slammed the door open and rushed up to her friend.
"We have a serious problem!"
"What's wrong?" Gabrielle asked Jane.
"Umi was released! And worse she has taken on the Tsukasa/Tsukushi case."
Gabrielle's eyes widened in shock.
"NANI!"
"Apparently, she was allowed to leave her retraining program by orders from 'her' boss."
"Are you telling me that, the master of the dead, Mr. D. himself allowed that lunatic loose?"
"Yes! I don't know how this could have happened without us knowing. Those poor kids who knows what else she plans to do to them. They shouldn't have even been listed as a viable case."
"Wait! What do you mean, 'What else'?
"Here's the files on it. It was done by some undercover agents on the ground."
Gabrielle hastily grabbed the files and began flicking through the details of recent events.
"Apparently she made it impossible for the two of them to touch each other without some electrical shock of some sort felt by them both. It's actually quite sophisticated for those evil beings."
"Yes extremely sophisticated for them…it says that prolonged use of this "shock treatment" could kill them both?!"
"Perhaps it's time we talked to the big boss. I'm sure he'll know what to do."
"I can't understand how this could have been happening pretty much at the since I returned Makino Tsukushi to earth. Those poor kids, and it was supposed to be a reward for all the suffering that they had endured."
Gabrielle said as she and Jane rushed towards the office of the 'Big Boss'
"Nice work Yukino, now keep an eye on her while I go play with that boy of hers…" Umi clicked her fingers and instantly transformed herself into the spitting image of Tsukushi, "Or should I say my boy. Hahahaaaaa"
Yukino bowed respectfully at her new boss, when she had left Yukino turned at looked at the girl locked in the prison.
"Makino Tsukushi…I'm really sorry bout all this."
"Domyouji! Domyouji! Wake up please!"
Tsukasa opened his eyes and tried to sit up in his bed. Holding his aching head in his hand he turned to look at Tsukushi.
"What happened?" he questioned.
Tsukushi looked at him blankly, "Well I thought you could tell me. One moment we were talking and the next thing I knew you fainted."
Tsukasa leaned against the bed and looked at his girlfriend sitting on the bed next to him.
His forehead creased in confusion 'Am I going crazy?' he thought to himself.
"Are you sure you're alright darling?"
Tsukasa eyes widened 'Darling? Ok that's new.'
Tsukushi bit her lip nervously as Tsukasa continued to stare at her. After an uncomfortable pause she giggled.
"Domyouji you know I feel uncomfortable when you look at me like that," She blushed.
"Sorry…Makino."
Tsukasa made a point to call her by her first name to see her reaction and to his surprise it didn't seem to bother her.
'Ok. What's with the girly act?' Tsukasa thought.
Tsukushi smiled back at him, "It's alright. Are you hungry? I'll get you some food."
"Better get Rui to do it since you can't touch anything," Tsukasa stopped her trying to sound unconcerned.
"Hahahaa oh yeah I forgot," She turned to smile at Tsukasa, "I was so concerned over you that I completely forgot. Well I'll go tell Rui then," she said as she walked towards the door.
Tsukushi paused for a second as her hand reached for the doorknob but she let her hand drop and continued walking straight through the door.
Tsukasa eyes narrowed, 'What the hell?'
Tskushi felt something damp on her forehead, she opened her eyes groggily.
"Tsukasa?"
"Shh! Don't talk." Someone whispered into her ear.
As her eyes focused to the darkness around her she soon realized that she was no longer at Rui's house. Her eyes surveyed the room she was now in but she soon realized that she wasn't in a room but it looked more like an old prison cell.
If it had been any other girl she would be panicking right now, but this was Makino Tsukushi and she had faced many challenges in her life. As she sat up and leaned against the cold wall behind her she realized that her wound was no longer bleeding as it had been before but it was not completely healed either.
Confused at her state of health she turned her attention on the person next to her, "Who are you?" she whispered.
Yukino ignored the girl and quickly turned to look behind her.
'She's back already?' Yukino thought angrily as she stood up.
"HEY! I'm talking here!" Tsukushi yelled angrily, unable to control herself, "Tsukasa where is he?! What have you…"
"I see. So you call him 'Tsukasa'?" A new voice interrupted Tsukushi.
Tsukushi turned to look at the girl who had suddenly appeared standing before her and her eyes widened in shock.
"You're…You're me?!"
