Chapter Six: Captured
Ai woke up that morning with the biggest headache she had ever had. She let her eyes scan her surroundings, to her horror she was alone. She sat up suddenly, causing her head to throb even harder.
"Jin!" she called out, looking at the unfamiliar clearing around her. "Jin!" she yelled, this time more timid. She reached up into the branches where she'd hung her jacket the night before only to find it wasn't there. She shivered slightly and wrapped her arms around her shoulders. A heavy fog must have set in the night before making the scene even more eerie.
Suddenly Ai realized that it wasn't fog but some kind off gas. She quickly covered her mouth with her sleeve but it didn't do any good because she felt a strange fatiuge tug at her eyelids. Strange images began to appear in front of her but she couldn't tell whether or not they were real. She collapsed to the ground, failing to stay conscious to the sleeping gas filling her lungs.
"She's out!" a bounty hunter said from behind a mask. Several others neared her limp body, one stepped forward and tossed the unconscious girl over his shoulder.
"You sure this is Jin's wench?" he asked shifting the girl.
The other nodded in response. "With her as bait than Jin well come easy," he said, with that they left taking poor Ai with them.
Jin lay quietly in the tall grass, he was only half asleep as he groped the ground next to him searching for the familiar warmth that he'd only noticed was gone a moment ago.
"Ai," he rasped softly. He opened his eyes to the campsite that they had been at the night before. Her jacket hung over his head, and her shoes sat nearby. Sun shined down on him as he sat up slowly his head throbbing. He looked back down at where he'd laid to see a large jagged rock with his dried blood covering a small portion.
He timidly touched the back of his head, and was rewarded by a sharp stinging sensation and the texture of sticky blood mixed with damp hair. He winced at the touch and tried to remember the event of the previous night.
Flashback…Ai snuggled closer to his chest for warmth and he wrapped his arms around her granting them both the warmth they'd wanted.
Suddenly he heard shouts coming from the trees around them. Bounty Hunters! Jin quietly shook Ai awake. Her big brown eyes flickered open.
"Ai we have to get out of here!" he said.
"Why?" she asked bewildered. The calls of the bounty hunters answered her question as a number of them pounded through the nearby bushes.
They jumped up and took off in the opposite direction, but the hunters were close behind. They ducked under a nearby shrub and waited for the hunters to pass.
"Here's the plan— we split up, you'll have a better chance escaping if you head east to the river. That way they'll lose your track and your scent, I'll double back to the campsite because they won't expect that. But if I get caught don't come for me!"
"No!" Ai pleaded.
"You can't go after me, or your life well be at risk as well!" Jin said with urgency in his voice.
Ai nodded sadly, avoiding eye contact. It had been almost like a dream, and yet it was ending like a nightmare. Jin quietly kissed her on the forehead, smiling weakly.
"Don't worry! I'll find you and everything well be just fine." he said stroking her hand.
She threw her arms around his shoulders, "Promise?" she sobbed.
"I promise," and they slowly broke apart each starting in a different direction. Jin doubled back to the camp like he'd said, but they'd been waiting for him.
Ai ran with all her might, she had long since crossed the river and they seemed to have lost her. She leaned against the tree for rest until everything went black and she'd passed out from the sudden strain on her body.
End Flashback…Jin leapt to his feet and flew into the air his eyes scanned desperately for any sign of Ai. He found her foot prints but last them as soon as he hit the river; she'd followed his instructions. But where was she now? He finally picked up on her scent again and followed it to a tree that was almost three miles from the riverbank. The air around the place smelt of some kind of sleeping gas. He looked around only to find a strange note trapped beneath a small rock so it wouldn't fly off in the wind.
He slowly opened the letter, almost fearing it's content.
JIN- WE HAVE YOUR PATHETIC WENCH! COME TO OUR CAMPGROUND AT THE NORTH SIDE OF THE WOODS AT SUNDOWN. COME UNARMED AND ALONE AND WE'LL LET THE HUMAN GIRL GO FREE!
Jin felt anger run through his veins as he crinkled the note up and tossed it on to the ground behind him! "Cowards!" he hissed, and started north.
Touya and Suyou made their way up the hill. "Just why are we looking for this pathetic friend of yours again?" she snapped.
Touya sighed and pulled a little harder on her rope. She was his new captive and he'd tied her wrists up with a thick rope that he stolen from some demon bounty hunters that were supposedly after him. "Jin isn't pathetic!" he snapped slightly annoyed.
"Oh, so their names Jin? Is she your girlfriend?" she said taunting him.
"Jin's a guy!" he yelled, Suyou's face fell in shock.
"Wow I didn't know you were like that!" she said, wide eyed.
Touya froze suddenly realizing what his words must have sounded like. "Not like that! Oh no that's disgusting! Jin's like my brother!"
"What kind of brother?" she asked, playfully teasing him. Touya's face turned bright red with embarrassment.
"What have you got going through that perverted head of yours?" he demanded.
She was about to answer when a crumpled piece of paper hit her in the face. She quickly pulled it away, leaving ink stains on her pale cheeks. Touya snorted with laughter as she glared daggers at him.
"What?!"
"Nothing…" Touya managed to say, she didn't notice that her face had little black marks all over it.
"Well you won't be laughin' long mister cause this message was meant for your little friend," she snapped.
Touya straightened up considerably and took the note from her hand… "'Jin- We have your pathetic wench! Come to our campground at the north side of the woods at sundown. Come unarmed and alone and we'll let the human girl go free!'" Touya read aloud.
They both exchanged nervous glances.
"Looks like your boyfriend got himself a girlfriend!" she said smirking, she was being terribly unsensitive, but it didn't phase him.
"What's your excuse?" he snapped. Suyou didn't have a comeback for this one, she just stood there until Touya tugged on her rope a little more.
