Hello again! I have finally posted this chapter after some serious writers block! Go me! Read on and enjoy!

Pairings: I think we all know this one, so I won't inform you again.

Title: Will thy Pain Never Cease?

Aya bolted upright in her bed, suppressing a scream. The nightmare she had just awoken from played back in her mind vividly. Her sheets and pajamas were drenched with sweat, and her breathing and heart rates were unusually fast. She took in several deep breaths and began rubbing her temples to help relax her tensed body.

She slowly climbed out of bed and slipped her feet in her slippers. She looked at her clock on the hotel room's night stand. It read 4:20 a.m. "Oh, that's a great time to have a bad dream and are unable to get back to sleep," she remarked grumpily to herself.

She just now took in her surroundings. How did I even get here? She thought. I was on the plane here, then we took a limp to a hotel from the airport...and that's all I remember!

Knowing sleep would never return to her, she slipped into a robe the hotel supplied and reached for her room key on the room's oak desk, She turned to the door but something caught her eye. She returned to the desk and picked up the note.

Aya,

you fell asleep on the way here and I didn't want to wake you! Our rooms are next to yours if you need us.

Yours Truly,

Yuhi, Sazumi,

Chidori, Mrs, Q.

Aya felt a smile form on her face. They are so sweet and supportive. She pocketed the note and walked out of her room, as silent as a feather. She made her way down the stairs and into the lobby.

"Wow!" She gaped. This must have cost Suzumi a fortune! She thought as she looked around at the huge lobby. Shaking her head slightly in bewilderment, she sat down in one of the many huge, squishy chairs the hotel had in the lobby, but even though it was 4:30 in the morning, there were quite a few people up and about and she wasn't really in the mood for that. She stood and wandered outside and began to walk through the hotels large, beautiful gardens, illuminated only by the bright stars and the huge full moon just peeking through the trees.

She took in a deep breath, taking in the smell of fresh air and many fragrances of flowers and pine trees. "Wow. It is so beautiful out here. I wish Tooya was here with me." She smiled softly as she thought of Tooya, tears once again forming in her eyes. I wonder if he is alright. She thought about that dream she had on the flight back to Japan. He was warning her about something. Should she heed it? Should she listen? What if he really needed her help, and she blew his plea off? She would never be able to live herself down. There was no way she could possibly ignore that message, even if it was just her imagination, there wouldn't be any harm in trying to get to safety. But if Tooya said she wasn't safe now, where would she be safe? There was no real way to be sure. She slumped on the grass, bringing her legs to her chest and putting her arms over her knees. She rested her head on her arms and began to cry. "Oh, Tooya. Where are you? I miss you so much, and I-I don't want to be without you anymore!" Her body began to shake with her sobs.

Tooya's eyes opened slowly. He could hear something, but he was having a hard time distinguishing what it was. He listened intently for a moment before he realized it was the sound of somebody crying. Who was crying? He thought. He got up and looked out the tiny window in his chamber-like room. His eyes opened in surprise. "Aya!"

Her head shot up, and her eyes filled with surprise and love. "Tooya!" He held his hand out to her, just barely getting his hand through the narrow window. She ran over to him and reached for his hand. But as soon as they touched, she was gone.

A tear slid down his face. He was just imagining her. Oh, God how he missed her. He wanted her in his arms once more, and to never let her go again. He missed the feel of her hear against his chin and her own special scent. "AYA!" He cried out desperately.

Aya stood there in the garden, unsure of what had just occurred. She had just seen Tooya, and even held his hand for a split second. Then he was gone. But as she thought about it, realization hit her. She knew that place! She knew where Tooya was being kept prisoner. And she had no time. She didn't want to risk loosing Tooya. She ran back into the hotel and up to her room, grabbing her key and opened her door, quickly but quietly as to not wake the others sleeping soundly (for all she knew) in the rooms next to hers. She changed into some comfortable clothes and grabbed her purse. She looked once more before she decided to write the others a note.

Hey you guys,

I have something I have to do, and I apologize that I had to leave without informing you. Please, I beg you not to follow me, just trust me and have faith in me. Thank you so much for everything, I know now what I have to do.

Love always,

Aya Mikage

She sat the letter on her pillow, a sure place where most likely Yuhi would find it. She smiled softly, and ran out of the hotel, determination now written over her features. I'll find you Tooya, and I will do all I can to get you out of there. If it's the last thing I do! She waved for a taxi. "Tokyo National Airport. And hurry!"

A/N: Sorry this chapter is so short. I wanted to have a cliffie, though this one sucked! Gerrr! I am so not good at these things. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this one. I am having such a hard time staying on topic. I have always had that problem. So if I get off topic on these things, that's the reason! ;;

Please keep Reading and Reviewing. I love all of the reviews I have received so far, and I want to thank all of you who have reviewed. And (I hope this doesn't ruin it for you,) I just want to say there is going to be a totally surprising ending on this thing as soon as I get around to finishing it. I won't, however, tell you if it is going to be a sad or happy ending. I'll leave that up for you to decide. I think I am actually beginning to come up with a point to this story! Throws party for herself Bring on the Saki!!! Bwahahahahahahaha!!! So, again, thank you for reading this and I hope you review!!!

Luv,

Serinityforeva!
