Ryou sighed and rubbed his face. This was not good. Ichigo hadn't been found, but a note had along with a video from Kish telling them if they ever wanted to see Ichigo they were going to have to surrender and let him take over the world. They couldn't do that, but they couldn't leave Ichigo there. Omotashu sat down beside Keiirchiro and looked at Ryou, their unannoucned leader. Omotashu was the first to speak.

"What are you going to do about Ichigo?"

Ryou looked up. "As much as we need her, we need to talk about where you've been the past three years and how everything went. Very good cover story though." Omotashu grinned.

"Thank you. It wasn't one of my better ones, but it worked." He feel silent and looked at the table. Ryou waited for him to say something. Seeing he wasn't going to he started.

"Omotashu, where have you been for the past three years?" The younger teen sighed.

"I was kidnapped after only a week of being involved in the mission." Ryou frowned.

"By Kish?"

"Yes," he said queitly. Ryou wished he didn't have to make him relive this as it was obviously causing him pain, but it was the only way he would know.

"They locked me up in a dinky little cell. The first night I wasn't chained up, but that was the only one. They questioned me for information; I didn't tell them anything." He paused to swallow. "When they realized I wasn't going to talk they decided to try to torture the information out of me. I made it look as if I cracked. I gave them information, but it was false. They believed me though, and they still do. It... it was horrible. Even though I had given them some information it wasn't enough. They wanted more and more. I kept giving them more information, false of couse. I couldn't stand the pain. You have no idea how mad it was. I've never been in that much pain."

Ryou nodded, but didn't say anything. How was he supposed to reply to that? There wasn't anything he could do to make it any better, and he couldn't erase it. "I'm sorry," he finally said lamely. Omotashu smiled sadly at him.

"I know, but you can't change it." Ryou nodded and remain silent. "Why did you look so grave while I was talking earlier? I know Ichigo being captured isn't good, but is it that bad?" Ryou sighed and nodded.

"Right now it isn't, but if we don't get her back soon, and I don't know if we can, everything will fall apart. The world could very well come to an end. Do you remember the prophecy we were told we became members of the Yumi?" Omotashu nodded.

"What does that have to do with this?" Ryou rubbed his face.

"Everything. Ichigo is the one it speaks of. If we don't get her back..."

Omotashu's face paled as he realized all the consequences that would come, and immediately began to formulate a plan to stop it, but by the time he had one it wold be to late.

Ichigo spat blood out of her mouth and glared at Kish. Why was he being so mean? Before he acted as if he never wanted her to be in any pain, and now he was the one causing it. He walked over to her, and lifted her chin. He looked into her pain filled eyes.

"I will make you mine one way, or another. I will stop at nothing."

"I will never be yours."

Author's Note: I know it's incredibly short, but I had six stories going at once so I decided to update only two regulary, and those two were Brian Knight Potter on here, and then Children of Faith on So, updated will not be very regular, or quick.
