Kidnapped!

Chapter 2:Surprise?!

Kouki checked on the calender and his mood was extraordinary happy. Tomorrow will be 'his' day. Thinking how Tanpopo will celebrate with him, made his heart leaped a few thousands miles away from him.

He went to school as usual, ignoring those who always kiss up to him. He passed by a notice board without looking at it. But he turned back again, for something familiar caught his eyes. There was note, saying 'You will lose your beloved one if you don't know how to protect her,' signed with a unicorn mark. His face changed dramastically and started to fear that something might happen. He knew that this note was directed to him, and only him and Tanpopo could recognized it.


Saionji ran into the classroom, panting, but she quickly stopped and turned to look for Tanpopo.

"Boo!"

"Kyogoku! What's that for? Did you know that'll shorten my life span?" Saionji scolded him. But will Kyogoku ever listen to her? No. Instead he took Saionji as an alien, babbling other different language. Annoyed, Saionji walked out of the classroom to look for Tanpopo.


Tanpopo was humming happily as she watered the plants. Squated down by the flowerbed, she examined each and every flower so that the plants are unharmed by any insects.

"Yamazaki-san! What are you doing here? I got a good news to tell you," Saionji said earnestly, still panting from the run.

"Good news?" Tanpopo looked at her, surprised. Saionji nodded, "Kugyou's birthday is just tomorrow."

"Is that all?"

Saionji nodded, "You know?"

"Course, I know. In fact, I'm planning a big surprise for him!"

"Big... big surprise?"

"Yeah, wanna join in?" There the two squat down together side by side, planning the 'big surprise'.

Suddenly Kouki came in, "Tanpopo! I..."

But Saionji stood between them quickly, "Kugyou-kun, we are talking something secret. So could you please leave us alone for a few moments?" Without hesitate, she pushed Kouki away and winked as she turned around to look at Tanpopo.

Kouki had no chance to talk to Tanpopo at all. He was called to the office for some reasons and after school he had some other matters to attend to.

On the other hand, besides Saionji, Kyogoku and Arisa were also invited to join Tanpopo in the big surprise for Kouki's birthday.


Next day...

At Tanpopo's house...

"Tsuki-chan, put those balloons over there. Kireta-kun, you can put on the lighting around the balcony. Let it hang so it looks like stars at night." Tanpopo giving out orders to her friends. Poor Poplar was locked inside Tanpopo's room. They had decided to hold the party at Tanpopo's apartment even though it's small. Arisa had gone out to buy some crackers and drinks. The cake was ordered and it will be delivered by the baker himself.

Tanpopo was very excited about this party, then the phone rang suddenly. She went to pick up and her shoulder dropped. Her friends were curious and she told them that the baker couldn't managed to deliver the cake and she had to go and fetch it herself. Saionji stepped forward and assured her, "It's alright. We'll wait for you. But be quick, Kugyou-kun is on his way here."

She nodded and went out right after she put on her coat.


On her way, she wondered Now I recall. What's he trying to tell me yesterday? But he didn't turn up after school to tell me what it is. Oh well, it might as well not that important. She was thinking on the way to the bakery, but suddenly darkness swept across her very eyes and what happened next she had no idea.

At the same time, Kouki just arrived at her apartment. He rushed into her house and asked the others, "Where's Tanpopo? Where's she?"

The others were surprise, Saionji smiled and said, "She went to get your surprise."

Kouki was losing his patience and temper, "Where's she? Just tell me. She might be in danger at any second now."

"Kugyou, you are a very good joker," Kyogoku laughed.

Kouki was so frustrated at Kyogoku, he shouted, "Just tell me where's she? I beg you all please. Please..."

This time everyone was shocked and thought this must be for real because Kouki had never done such thing before except the very time when Kyogoku hacked the school.

Saionji stuttered, "She... she had gone to fetch your birthday cake."

Kouki was about to step out of the door when the phone rang He picked it up, it was from the bakery and what the baker told him gave him another impact. Tanpopo had not come to take the cake.

It was way passed the actual time to reach the bakery, so where had she been? Kouki was so worried that he rushed out to search for her and of course not him alone. Saionji, Kyogoku and Arisa (who just got back in time before he leave) went out together to help Kouki.

To be continued...
