Chapter 5: Kidnapped
"Find Kouichi?" Kouji asked. "But how are we supposed to do that? We have no clue to where he might be!"
Takuya scratched his chin. "Eh, you got a point there."
The two boys sat silently, deep in thought, until Kouji spoke up. "Do you know what happened to him when the temple was attacked?"
"Hmm . . ." Takuya mumbled as he rested his head on the palm of his hand, one finger tapping his cheek in contemplation. "I think . . . the demons might have taken him. But I'm not real sure . . . Come to think of it . . ." Takuya's head raised from where it sat. "The demons that attacked the temple were WATER demons! The same kind that are after you! They must have invaded just to get Kouichi!"
"So they probably need me for some kind of plan," Kouji mused. "So they're not trying to kill me, but to capture me!"
"So if we let one of them take you . . ."
"It will lead us to Kouichi!"
"But if I can't follow you . . ."
". . ."
Takuya pulled Kouji into a gentle hug and kissed his forehead. "But I won't let that happen. I love you. Nothing will keep me away from you."
Kouji nuzzled his face in Takuya's neck, inhaling his scent. "I love you, too."
They sat like that for a while, just holding eachother. Until suddenly, a river of water splashed down on them, hurling Takuya against a tree with a sickening crack, and throwing Kouji hard on the ground. Kouji weakly wiped the clear liquid from his eyes and looked up. A water demon larger than the last ones had attacked them, and he was advancing toward the raven-haired boy.
Kouji anxiously focused his gaze on Takuya, who was lying face-down in the muddy dirt. The pale boy's eyes widened in panic when he saw blood leaking from the brunette's back, seeping into his clothes and mixing with the water on the ground.
"TAKUYA!" Kouji screamed as he was lifted from the ground by the water demon. The boy tryed to kick the dragon-like creature, but his legs didn't seem to work. He could only watch as the demon opened a black and purple portal and stepped into it, leaving the bleeding Takuya behind.
. . .
"Hahaha! Kouichi you're all muddy!"
. . .
Kouji opened his eyes weakly, his vision blurred. Two sentences had echoed in his mind. "Hahaha! Kouichi you're all muddy!" Why had his mind replayed that? Maybe because the ground was wet, and Takuya was lying in mud . . .
Takuya!
Kouji attempted to stand but he fell back to the cold ground. Partly because he was still sore from being attacked, and partly because there were shackles around his wrists and ankles, the chains attached to the wall. A few tears streamed from his eyes, but he quickly wiped them away.
Kouji strained to sit up, and looked around him. Everything around him was engulfed in pitch black darkness, impossible to see into. Kouji let his head hang, squeezing his eyes shut. But then he heard a voice much like his own . . .
"So we meet again, brother."
. . .
Takuya shifted a bit, groaning in pain. He ground his teeth together as his back throbbed. He wiped mud from his face and growled when he saw that the water demon had successfully taken Kouji away.
Takuya made a swift movement to get up, but instantly regretted it as his back cracked once more. The determined boy still stood, despite the sharp pain. He limped over to the place where the dark portal had been opened. He chanted something inaudible, and the dark portal re-opened.
"Kouji . . . I'm coming!"

Ritina: Shorter chapter, but that's okay!
Allison: . . .
Ritina: Taky to the rescue! Who is the mysterious voice?! Find out next chappie!
Allison: I think it's pretty obvious. He called Kouji 'brother' it's a dead giveaway!
