ON WITH THE STORY!!!!!
Seventy Two Hours
By: Rumi-Chan
"Abduction"
Previously on Seventy Two Hours:
Two figures stood outside the Hiwatari mansion. A man and a woman.
The woman whined, "Feh…this is going to take forever, Rand!"
Rand turned his heel and walked away. "Come on, Natalya…we'll attack tomorrow…give it one more day…"
Natalya pouted, then about-faced and followed Rand
Rand smirked as he walked away from the mansion. "It's time, Hiwatari…it's time…"
Tyson tossed and turned in his bed, his eyes shut tightly. His fingers gripped the sheets tightly. He sat up and screamed, "Aiko!" He blinked, looked around, and sighed heavily. He decided to walk down to check on Aiko and Garu (who had spent the night after pleading, clinging to parents' legs and the mentioning of getting outstanding grades) in Aiko's bedroom.
"Aiko." Tyson pushed the door open.
The bedroom was empty. Takao looked around the bedroom, wondering where the two children went off to. He heard a shrill screaming coming from the kitchen, and he turned around completely.
"Aiko!"
Meanwhile, in the kitchen:
Aiko screamed, "Garu!!!! Stand still!!! I can't reach the cereal box if can't stay in one place!"
Garu shot back, "Well if your big butt wasn't on my head, I could stand straight."
Aiko's eyes were wide. "Take that back!" She reached up for the cereal box, but her fingers barely grazed the box.
Tyson ran into the kitchen and saw the two children and gasped, "Aiko! What happened! Are you…" His voice died.
Aiko looked at her mother. "Oh…hi mom! Garu and I woke up early, but you were still asleep, and Papa was already on his way to Mr. and Mrs. Chief's old house, so we just went down ourselves."
Tyson looked like he was going to die of laughter. "Um, Aiko," he laughed, "why don't I get the box for you, Garu looks like he's ready to drop you at any time now!"
Garu agreed. "Yeah! Her big butt made me not stand right!"
Aiko replied indignantly, "My butt isn't big!!!!"
Garu argued. "It's still big…"
Aiko stomped her foot. "It is not!"
Tyson smiled while pouring the cereal into two bowls, pouring milk in them, and setting them on the table. "Alright, you two, settle down and eat! I'm going to take a shower so don't do anything stupid!"
(Rumi: Good going, Ty…that's a sign that you're just begging them to do something stupid…
Tyson: Shut it, Rumi…)
After the kids had finished their breakfast, they headed outside to go play. As they were going outside, Garu said, "Big butt." This made Aiko chase him around the entire house…three times.
From his shower, Tyson could hear Aiko screaming, "Don't call me 'big butt'!" and Garu yelling, "BIG BUTT!!! BIG BUTT!!!!" He could also hear the butlers and maids chasing them around the house. He swore he heard Aiko throw something, and sweatdropped.
Rand was standing alone outside the Hiwatari mansion. Rand looked at his watch. It was twenty past eleven. "Damn that Natalya," he thought, "she's never on time. I told that stupid wench to meet me here at eleven sharp." He waited a little while longer, until he heard a shrill voice call his name.
"RAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!"
Rand smacked his forehead.
Natalya ran up to Rand and clung onto his arm. "Sorry, Rand! I went shopping and I simply lost track of time! So, what's new? What are our orders?"
"Idiot." Rand said this under his breath.
"What was that, Randie?"
"Look, we just get the Hiwatari kid, and that's all."
"That's all?!?"
"Yes, Natalya…that's all…"
Natalya put her hands on her hips. "What is Boris gonna do with her?"
Rand shrugged his shoulders. "Who knows, and personally, who cares. All I want is just to destroy Kai…just like how he destroyed me. And if that means abducting his daughter, then so be it."
Natalya glanced at her partner. "You don't mean that, Rand," she thought, "I know you don't." She quickly changed her facial expression and said excitedly, "So how are we gonna get the little brat?"
"Like this," Rand replied. He swiftly jumped the stone wall that surrounded the Hiwatari mansion with grace.
Natalya pouted. "Oh, and how the hell am I gonna do that?!?"
Rand pointed to the tree. "Climb the tree and drop down onto the wall, then jump down. And hurry up too, okay? I don't want you to slow this down, or worse, screw it up!"
Natalya proceeded to climb the tree. "Asshole…" she muttered under her breath.
Aiko and Garu were playing on the vast playground that Kai had built for Aiko a week after she was adopted. She heard a noise and turned around. She saw Natalya and Rand approaching them. Natalya ran up to Aiko and squealed. "You're such a cutie! You're going to have to come with us now! Her grip on Aiko's arm tightened.
Garu yelled and jumped on Natalya, and bit her arm. Natalya screamed in pain and let go of Aiko. Garu screamed, "Aiko! Run!"
Aiko turned and ran.
Rand followed her. "I'm not going to let you get away!"
Aiko looked behind her and screamed even louder. She frantically searched for her mother. "Mommy," she cried, "MOMMY!!!!"
Tyson heard his daughter scream. Yet this scream was different. Something was wrong. He quickly exited one of the rooms and ran into the hallway. "Aiko!" he cried!!!!
He saw Aiko run past him, and then he saw a part of his past he hoped to never see. "Rand…" he whispered.
Rand's eyes narrowed. "Step out of the way, Tyson…I…I don't want to hurt you again."
Tyson stood his ground. "I'm afraid I can't do that, Rand."
Rand's voice softened. "Ty…"
Tyson's eyes hardened. "Don't call me that…EVER. I'm not going to let you get Aiko!"
Rand sighed. "Tyson…"
Suddenly, Natalya (who managed to shake Garu off) ran into the hallway. She calmly walked up to Tyson and smirked. "Look, we just want your kid. So please be polite and hand her over."
Aiko shrunk back even further.
Tyson stared at Natalya straight in the eye and said nothing.
Natalya glared. "Are you going to answer me or not? Look, I'll ask again…for the last time. Hand over your daughter!"
Tyson smirked. "Not a chance."
Rand abruptly slammed Tyson against the wall and said. "I didn't want to do this…I didn't want to hurt you again, but you left me with no choice…"
Tyson's vision blurred. Mumbling, he fell to the ground, unconscious.
Aiko stood frozen to her spot. She couldn't move or speak.
Natalya kneeled so her eyes met Aiko's. "Now, Hun, you're going to come with us now, okay? An old friend of your father's wants to meet you."
Aiko hollered. "Iie!!! I don't want to go with you! I want to stay here!!!! I wanna stay with my mommy!!!"
Natalya picked up the struggling Aiko and smiled. "Well, I'll have to be the judge of that. Sedate her, Rand!"
Aiko squirmed. "NO!!!! I DON'T WANT THAT!!!! STOP!!!! NO!!!! MOMMY!!! PAPA!!!!"
Rand said quietly. "Your papa isn't here to save you now…" Rand took out a long syringe and rolled up the sleeve of Aiko's shirt. Aiko screamed.
Sometime later, Tyson woke up. "My head…AIKO!!! GARU!!!!" He quickly ran outside and saw Garu still unconscious on the grass. There was a cut from where Natalya threw him. "Garu!" Tyson gasped. He picked up the boy, carried him to one of the guestrooms and tended to his wounds. He then ran to the phone and hurriedly called Kai's cell.
Kai was driving his car, with Kenny in the passenger seat, and Emily and their daughter Rochelle in the back when his phone rang." He flipped the lid and answered. "Hello?"
"Kai!" Tyson's voice was shaky.
Kai's eyebrows knitted together. "Tyson! Tyson, what's wrong? Is everything alright?!?" Kenny and Emily looked at Kai quizzically.
Tyson whispered. "She's gone…"
Kai answered. "Tyson, what's going on? You're not making any sense!"
Tyson broke down. "Aiko's gone, Kai! He took her!!!! He took her…"
Kai's worry was evident. "Just stay there, Ty…we'll be there as fast as we can. Just stay there, you hear me?"
Tyson nodded and said, "H-H-Hai…"
Kai turned to Kenny and gave him his cell. "Call Max and Rei," he said, "something's wrong. Tell them to meet me at the house! Tell them it's urgent!"
Kenny nodded and began to dial.
Emily's eyes shone with concern. "What's happening, Kai?"
Kai's eyes narrowed dangerously, and he tightened his grip on the steering wheel. "Something that I hoped would never happen..."
Meanwhile…
Rand and Natalya were on a plane that headed to Boris's headquarters. He had the sleeping Aiko in his arms.
Natalya patted his arm. "Don't worry, you just did what you had to do…"
Rand answered. "I guess."
"It's what you wanted, right?"
"If it was, then why do I feel this bad?"
