Chapter 4: The Tasks

"What do you mean? Who is this?"

"I'm afraid I can not answer that question Mr Kamiya. I have some bad news for you. Someone very close to you will be missing for a few days, unless you follow our instructions."

"What are you talking about?"

"You are rather stupid aren't you Kamiya. Let me give it to you straight, if you don't do as you're told, your little girlfriend Sora Takenouchi will die."

 

Tai sat there in shock. If he didn't do what this mad man said, he would kill Sora.

'Sora'

"What have you done with her you bastard!" shouted Tai

"Mind your language Mr Kamiya, and I'm sorry but I can not answer that question," said the voice, "All you need to worry about is the tasks you have to do to get her back."

"What makes you think I'll do what you tell me to do?" said Tai mockingly, "I'll just call the police and-"

"Oh no you won't Mr Kamiya, for if you do, Miss Takenouchi here won't live to see another day. I have spies watching you Mr Kamiya, and if you don't do exactly what we tell you to do, well, you know what will happen, seeing as I've already told you."

Tai just stood there. If he didn't do exactly as he was told, Sora would be killed, and it would be all his fault.

"What do I have to do?" asked Tai in defeat

"Wait," said the voice, "wait until I call you again with your first task. In the mean time, if you tell anyone about this, you and Sora won't live for another minute."

And with that, the strange voice hung up. Tai put down his phone, and fell onto his bed.

'This isn't real,' he thought to himself, 'this is just a really bad dream.'

Tai sat up and pinched himself to check that it was really a dream. But once he felt the pain, he realised that everything that had just happened was true. It was up to him, and him alone, to save Sora.

"Oh Sora, this is all my fault!" he cried out in agony. He lay back down on the bed, thinking about Sora, until he managed to fall asleep.

But Tai didn't have a peaceful night. He kept tossing and turning in his bed, dreaming of Sora. Every time Tai tried to get near her, some creep grabbed hold of her and took her away into the darkness. Tai tried to cry out to her, but the sounds of gunshots covered his voice.

Tai woke up about five times that night, always covered in sweat, and every time he went back to sleep, the dream came back to haunt him.

The next morning, Tai was exhausted. He'd hardly got any sleep during the night because of the dream. Slowly, he got changed into his training kit, and went down to join his team mates for breakfast before they went outside to do some training.

"Hey Tai, you don't look so good," said Ben, one of his team mates

"Yeah, are you alright man?" asked another team mates, Mike

After remembering what the called had said last night, Tai just looked up at them, put on his famous Kamiya smile, and said "Don't worry about me guys, I'm fine!" and started to eat his breakfast. The other players just looked at each other, and then started to eat their own breakfast.

Tai had training all day since Japan's next match was coming up in a few days, so he as very busy. Every so often he listened for the sound of his phone ringing from the sides of the pitch, and when ever he had a break, he checked for any text messages. But no one had phoned or texted him since last night. Disappointed, Tai went back to his training.

After the team had trained, they went back to the hotel for some dinner. Whilst Tai was eating, his phone rang, making him jump. His team mates just looked at him strangely as he got up, said "Excuse me for a minute," and walked away so that they couldn't here what he was saying on the phone.

"Hello?" asked Tai nervously

"Hello there Mr Kamiya," said the strange voice from the night before, "ready for your first task?"

"Yeah," answered Tai, looking around, making sure that no one was around him to listen in on his conversation.

"Good. Now this is an easy task that I'm sure that even you can do Mr Kamiya. I want you to march up to your coach and manager, and say that you won't be playing in Japan's matches in the World Cup."

"WHAT!" Tai screamed, then noticing that his team mates were watching him, he quickly ran down a corridor so that they couldn't see him.

"You heard what I said," said the voice sternly, "do it or Miss Takenouchi dies."

The voice hung up. Tai put his phone away, sighed, and then made his way back to where the rest of the Japanese team were sitting. He marched over to the coach and manger, who were discussing tactics for the next match, and stood in front of them so that they couldn't ignore him.

"Yes Kamiya, how can I help you?" asked the manger

"I'm sorry but… I can't play in any of Japan's matches," said Tai gloomily

"What?" asked the manger astonished

"What are you talking about?" asked the coach

"Like I said, I can't play in any of Japan's matches in the World Cup. I know you're depending on me but I just can't play! I'm not going to the match so there's no point in putting me on the team! And don't force me to be on the team or you'll be sorry!"

And with that, Tai stormed off and made his way back to his room, aware of the team's eyes following him as he went into the elevator. As the doors were closing, Tai noticed a man wearing a large hat and a long coat. He was watching Tai, and when he saw Tai looking at him, he turned around and left the hotel.

Tai flopped onto his bed. It had been about 3 hours since he told his manger that he couldn't play on the team. His team mates had come up to talk him into playing again, but his mind was made up, for if he didn't do as he was told, Sora would die.

As he lay there on his bed, his phone rang again. Tai sat up straight away and picked it up.

"Hello again Mr Kamiya," said the voice, "ready for the second task?"

"Just tell me what it is," said Tai hastily

"Now now Mr Kamiya calm down. Your second task is to collect all your trophies from your family home and then go to the cliffs. I'll tell you your next instructions there."

And before Tai could question his second task, the man hung up again. Tai shoved his phone back in his pocket, and walked out the door.

An hour later, Tai was waiting at the cliffs, all his trophies and medals in a large bag by his feet. He had just come from his family's apartment. Luckily, they were all out, and he still had his set of keys, so when he arrived, he quickly grabbed a bag, stuffed all his trophies and medals into it, and got out as quickly as possible. During the fives year that he'd been away, he had sent all his trophies that he'd won back home so that his family could see how well he was doing. Also, so that that he didn't lose them in England!

Tai just stood there, looking out at the water, and the city. The lights from the buildings reflected in the water, giving the impression of a second city.

"Oh Sora, I hope you're OK," said Tai to himself, "and I wish they'd hurry up and call!"

His wish was soon granted. The phone in Tai's hand soon started to ring. Once again Tai quickly picked it up, and once again he heard the man's voice on the other end of the phone. During the hours Tai had waited for the man to call during that day, he'd realised that the voice sounded very familiar, but he couldn't quite work out who it was.

"This is your last task Mr Kamiya," said the voice

"What is it?" asked Tai

"Throw the bag by your feet into the water"

"What! Are you crazy!"

"Do it Mr Kamiya, otherwise Sora here won't live for another minute."

Tai heard a small click on the other end of the phone, then a soft moaning, as if a young lady had been gagged, and now had a gun pointing at her, ready to shot.

"Sora!" cried Tai when he realised who had moaned

"Do as you're told Mr Kamiya," said the voice sternly

Sighing in defeat, Tai picked up the bag with his free hand, and threw it into the water. As he watched it sink, his anger began to build up inside of him. He wanted this man to pay for what he'd done to Sora; he wanted to kill the man who'd stolen his true love.

"Good job Mr Kamiya," said the voice mockingly, "You're being a very good boy. I'll be in contact very soon."

Once again the man hung up, and once again, Tai put his phone away. He looked up at the night sky.

"Don't worry Sora, I'll find you if it's the last thing I do!"

SNAP!

Tai turned around. He'd heard a branch breaking behind him. He searched the busy area behind him, looking for the source of the noise. There, hidden behind a bush, was the man Tai had seen at the hotel, who had been watching him. He was walking away from Tai, back towards the town. Slowly and quietly, Tai started to follow him.

'I know this man has something to do with Sora,' he thought to himself, 'I can feel it. Don't worry Sora, I'll find you very soon.'

Who is this man? Is he linked to Sora's disappearance? Find out in the next chapter!

I know that's a bit rushed, but I'm writing 3 fics at the mo! Please R&R and I'll update asap!
