Sorry it took me a little longer to get this chapter out. WARNING at the end of this chapter there is a mini rape scene. It's not very graphic, but if you can't read rape please don't. I don't want to upset anyone. Onward to Chapter Six

Chapter Six

Hiro's POV

I sit on the couch in Yuki's house watching television with Maiko to my left and Yuki to my right. We just finished all the signing for today. Touma says that he would announce how much money we managed to raise on the late news. I really didn't want to wait that long, but they lost track on how much money was actually coming in. He was right…we didn't have a chance to take a break or anything for that matter. Maiko shifts slightly to see what time it is as I pat her hand. "Just a few more minutes," I say trying to comfort her as much as I can.

"Hiro, do you think we got enough money?"

"We got more than enough," Yuki says blowing out his cigarette smoke.

"He's right. Touma already said that whatever we didn't make today NG was going to donate the remainder."

Maiko looks back at the screen. "He is alright…isn't he?"

The question came at a shock. All day long I didn't even think about the fact that Shuichi may not still be alive. They wouldn't ask for a ransom if he wasn't. Tomorrow they will call again and tell us where the exchange is going to be. "He has to be alright," I finally answer looking back at the television screen. Maiko doesn't look like she accepted me telling her that. The only thing to ease her worries would be to actually hear from Shuichi. When they call, I'll make sure she hears his voice.

The news flickers on with their headlines as Yuki turns the volume up slightly. "Earlier today an announcement was made regarding the recent disappearance of Pop Star Shuichi Shindo. Touma Seguchi, president of NG Records, announced that the fundraiser today has managed to reach the five million dollar mark that the kidnappers have asked for. Now all there is to do is wait for the kidnappers to call again. Soon this nightmare will be over for the friends and family of Shuichi Shindo," The news reporter says as I look over at Yuki smiling even though he doesn't smile back and holding Maiko as she cries her happy tears.

Suddenly the door bursts open, I grab Maiko and hide her beside the couch out of view. I thought it was the kidnappers making their move, and I didn't want them seeing Maiko. My breathing stops as I wait for the person or persons to walk around the corner. "Hay guys," says the deep voice as he pops around the corner.

"K! You scared us half to death," I shout looking back at Yuki who is calmly smoking his cigarette. "Well you scared Maiko and I to death!"

"Shut up, Hiro, I found where Shuichi is," he says as Maiko stands up quickly.

"Where? Where is he? Did you get him back?"

"Slow down, Maiko. No, I didn't get him back just yet, but I do know exactly where they are holding him. Off to the far east of the city there is this castle like structure. One of the witnesses claims they saw two men dragging in a teenager. The witness isn't too sure if it is Shuichi, but he said that he saw slight pink in the boy's hair. I asked around and found out that he was the only one to see them dragging this boy into the castle. I got some men being called in right now. We're going to storm the castle so to speak and get Shuichi back," K says rubbing a cloth over his gun that he normally carries.

"What if it's not Shuichi?" I ask looking at him getting weary about him messing with that gun.

"Then we saved someone else's life today."

"I want to go with you," Yuki says putting his cigarette out.

"Too dangerous…I have trained men going in with me."

Yuki stands up and walks over to K knocking the gun out of his hand and pushing K to the ground. "Maybe I wasn't too clear. I want to go with you."

"Alright, fine…but if you get yourself killed that's not my fault," K says standing up and taking the gun back.

"I'll stay here with Maiko," I say looking at the two men. Someone has to protect Maiko in case they do come to the house. They both nod and walk out of the door. Maybe we do have a chance to see Shuichi again. If they call I can pretend Yuki is here or out making sure all the money is ready for them. Anything to keep them distracted from the fact that several armed men will be shooting their way into their hideout. I reach over to Maiko and hug her. "Everything is going to be okay," I say watching her cry.

Shuichi's POV

I slowly wake up and move slightly feeling my bones still screaming. I look down and realize that the picture of Yuki I was holding is now a crumpled mess. No…that's my only picture of Yuki. I try to smooth it out, but it's no use. I look around the room for a new newspaper or anything for that matter that I might find a picture of Yuki. I move off the bed just as the door slams open. No…no more beatings. I back away from Ralph. "This is your last chance to tell us where your sister is," he says firmly shutting the door behind him.

"I don't know where she is," I say helplessly. I don't know…I seriously don't know.

"He's tired of waiting. I'm here to get it out of you one way or the other," he sneers moving closer to me.

I back up into the wall feeling the cold cement on my back. "I'm being serious…I don't know where she is," I try again. They are never going to believe me.

Ralph moves closer to me pinning me to the wall. I look away from his face not wanting to make even eye contact with him. "When you tell me, I'll stop."

What is that suppose to me? Instantly, he grabs me and slams me on the bed on my stomach. I try to move, but his arms are much stronger than I am. "I don't know where my sister is!" I shout at him. I feel this sharp cold object slide down my back tearing at my shirt. The cut he made on my back stings as the blood rolls down my skin. I close my eyes trying to ignore the pain.

He slides something wet and rough up my back and stops at my ear. "You taste good," he whispers as my eyes shoot wide open. No…not again…He continues to lick as tears form in my eyes.

"I'm tell you the truth! I don't know where my sister is!" I scream at him. Please not again…not again. He pulls my arms back and ties them behind my back. I struggle to move but can't even move my head at the moment.

He pulls down my pants as my breathing increases drastically. "Please," I whimper. "I don't know where she is," I say more as the sharp object makes more cuts along my inner thighs and the back of my legs. "Don't do this."

He doesn't talk to me as I feel his arms stop touching me for a few seconds. I can feel him moving around, but I can't see him. I can guess what he's doing. "Last chance," he whispers into my ear leaning back down.

"I don't know," I try to choke out through my tears. "Please," I try again. He leans back up away from my ear before I feel the same pain again. I cry and put my head down in the mattress. Oh let me die now…

That's it for Chapter Six sorry all Shuichi fans. Thank you for reading please Review.
