Chapter Three

Shuichi's POV

Finally my head stops pounding. What am I going to do? If I just sit here and let them get what they want, then I won't be able to see Yuki again…ever. I finally get up and look around the room. There is a bed…and what looks like a bucket. No wonder is smells like puke and pee. I wonder if that's ever been cleaned out. I slide myself over to the bed avoiding crushing my hands along the way. I try to pull my arms out from behind my back, but they are still not able to move. I looked at the bed and saw the corner of the foot. I wonder if it's sharp enough to cut through these ropes holding my arms together. I move my body up and down slow at first and then a little faster. I accidentally scrap my hands instead of the ropes, but the least of my worries.

The ropes loose enough for me to squeeze my hands out through them. I rub my hand over my wrist trying to ease the pain. I look around the room more. There are no windows just the door. I walk over to the door and look at it. It's just a regular wooden door. I reach for the doorknob and try turning it. Of course it's locked. I put my head against the door. I still can't hear any voices or anything. They must not have any guards watching my door, but then again, one person might be sitting by the door.

The door suddenly opens tossing me against the wall smacking my head. I hold my head as he grabs me. "What were you trying to do?" he growls slamming me against the wall several times. The collision with the wall increases the pain ringing through my head. I couldn't even answer him. He just kept pounding me against the wall over and over again. He tosses me on the ground kicking me right in the stomach. I gasp for air curling up trying to shield my body from the impacts. "He warned you about trying to escape," he growls more kicking me several times.

He picks me up and drags me out of the room. I feel so dizzy and I can taste the blood in my mouth. He tosses me down on the ground and walks up to the "king." I see him whisper something in his ear. The "king" stands up and walks over to me. "Ralph tells me that you were by the door. I thought I told you not to try to escape," he says standing right before me. "I'll let you go with a warning this time since Ralph has clearly punished you already." I swallow the bad copper taste of my blood.

"Let's get down to business shall we?" he says walking back up to his seat and sitting back down. I look down at the ground realizing that another paper sits there. It's been another day. They still haven't contacted anyone according to the paper. "I have one question for you…Where's your sister?" My sister? That's a weird question.

"I don't know," I say honestly. I don't know where she is. I receive e-mails from her and see her every so often.

Ralph strikes me with something from behind. I collapse forward feeling even more dizzy than I was before. "I'll ask you again…where is your sister?" he says firmly.

"I told you the truth," I say looking back up again. "I don't know. It's been a few weeks since I talked to her." Ralph kicks me in the back as I let out a painful scream. I fall forward landing right on my stomach. He continues to step on my back slamming into it one after the other.

"Ralph," says the "king's" voice firmly. "Let him think about it for awhile." He walks over to me and kneels down. "The next time we talk. You better remember where she is."

Ralph picks me up by the back of my shirt stopping my breathing for a few seconds. He doesn't even let me stand up before he pulls me back down the hallway and right back into the room. I lie there face down for a little while before rolling onto my back. My sister…why would they want my sister? Of course I won't give them the information even if I knew it. It's true that she might be at home, but if she was, then they would have her already wouldn't they? I run my hand across my lips wiping the blood off my lips and chin. How am I suppose to find out where she is? I close my eyes. I'm so tired…

Hiro's POV

I hear this pounding on my door as I roll over in my bed rubbing my hands over my face. Shuichi…I quickly get up and run over to the door ripping the door open. Standing right before me isn't Shuichi…it isn't anyone from the office…it's Maiko…Shuichi's sister. "Maiko?" I say looking at her.

She pushes her way into my house. "I heard about Shuichi," she says quickly as I close the door and face her.

"What about it? I thought you would have heard about it a long time ago."

"No…I've been moving around a lot. I just picked up a paper today. I know who did this."

"What? Who?"

"I can't really explain right now. They are probably watching your house. They wouldn't expect me to go to Yuki's house. Come with me to Yuki's house, and I'll explain everything," She says placing her sunglasses back on and tucking her hair back under the hat she was wearing.

"Alright, but you have to explain everything."

She nods to me as she tucks her arm around mine. "Just play along, okay?" She smiles brightly putting her head on my shoulder. Okay whatever floats her boat. Here we go. I smile and hold her close. Sorry Ayaka, but you'll understand eventually.

And Maiko makes her appearance nn. So why are they after her? LOL Thank you for reading please review!
