Yuki moved his head, and it hurt. He remembered the events of the previous night, the way he stuck up for Kaito and got beat for it. He looked across the room in the dim light, and saw the wounded brunette. The flaxen haired writer crawled over to the unconscious child, and shook his shoulder, causing the youth to wince in pain.

"Kaito, wake up. Please, wake up." Kaito wouldn't wake. Yuki shook harder, and began to say his name. "Kaito, wake up! C'mon! Kaito?" Yuki looked at Kaito closely, and saw how shallow his breathing was. The writer felt the younger man's pulse, and it was slow. " Kaito…no…"

Yuki got up and began to bang on the door. " Saruwatari! Hayashi! Help!" No reply came. " Hello! Saruwatari! Yo! Hayashi!" The man continued to bang for 30 more seconds, before he went back over to the boy. " Kaito, move! Wake up!"

This time, the boy stirred, and slowly opened his blue orbs. Almost instantly, the boy bent over double, pain coursing through his body. "Kaito! Are you okay? Talk to me!" The boy opened his mouth to speak, but instead he threw up stomach acid and blood.

" Yuki…the pain is so bad…I think Saruwatari broke my ribs... it hurts so much…" the pain flooded out of every pore in the boy's body. " Yuki, why did you let Saru-san beat you up?" Yuki brushed the hair out of the brunette's eyes. " Kaito, have I ever told you the story of the man with the evil eyes?" Kaito shook his head. Yuki sat next to the boy, and put his arm around his shoulder, and pulled him close. "Long ago, there was a man who was cursed with evil eyes. The thing about these eyes was that whatever he looked at was killed or destroyed. The man was a sensitive person, so it hurt him to see all this destruction."

Kaito rested his head on Yuki's chest, and stared into the blonde's honey eyes.

" But then, one day, he met this girl who was very nice and beautiful. The man knew he could never look upon his beauty, because his cursed eyes would hurt or kill the young girl. He finally worked up enough courage to talk to the girl. It turns out that the two fell in love, but the woman could never figure out why her boyfriend always covered up his eyes when talking to her. She thought she was ugly, till she confronted him about it. The man told her that his eyes would hurt her, but she didn't believe her. The man fell into deep despair, until he figured out how to win her back. You know what he did?"

Kaito shook his head, and continued to watch Yuki. " To be with his girl, he carved out his own eyes. It put him through serious pain, but he kept it up till his eyes were in pieces on the floor. He was now blind, but it didn't matter as long as his woman loved him. It turns out that the girl was killed in a horse accident. The man, in depths of misery, threw himself off a cliff. But the two of them dying wasn't the important part. The thing was that the man sacrificed his sight so that he could be with the woman. I tried to help you because I love you, but not…like that. You're like a brother to me Kaito, and I would do anything for you." Kaito was surprised.

" Me? A brother to you? That's real nice of you, Yuki!" Kaito smiled again, and hugged his new "brother". Kaito only did it for a second though, because it hurt his ribs. The door almost broke in two. Saruwatari walked in, and he looked shaken. He put a shadow of a sneer on his face. He pulled something shiny from his pocket.

Shuichi and Ryuichi walked into the police station, and gasped. It was huge. The ceiling was like a rotunda, and there were cops all around. " May I help you boys?" the cop looked at Ryu. " Men?" Ryuichi blushed. " Well, sir, our friends were kidnapped by a rapist psycho. We've been looking forever, and we're really worried." The cop arched his brows, and snagged a notebook. "How long have they been gone?"

Shuichi counted, and said, " Probably a couple of weeks." The cop looked Shuichi sternly. "You should have come to us first. Your friends could be dead by now." Ryuichi went pale, and Shuichi's throat went dry. " That, of course, doesn't mean that they are…"

Shuichi toughened up, and asked, " Have you had any reports of, say a sighting of a brown haired boy and a blond haired man?" The cop thought for a sec. " No, nothing like that, but a lady in an apartment complex complained of screaming. We sent some men over, but they found nothing suspicious…except for that room that he didn't let us enter…"

Shuichi was indignant. " Well, you're police! Why didn't you just go in?" The policeman remained calm. " Sir, it was supposed to just be a warning. We didn't have a warrant, so he could tell us where and where not to go." Now Ryuichi was mad. " Why didn't you get a warrant?" the cop started to get mad. " All we had to do was go over there. We didn't even have probable cause, so we couldn't get one even if we wanted to."

Shuichi began to yell. " So get one, and let's get over there!" The cop set down his coffee, and made a phone call. " Look, I don't have a warrant. I can't just walk in." Ryuichi grabbed the front of the policeman's shirt. " Our friends are probably in there, and we need to get in there NOW." The copper pushed Ryuichi's hand away. " Sign this."

Ryu and Shu both picked up a pen, and the pink haired young man asked, " What is this?" the cop sighed. " This is a replacement warrant. We can break in, but if you're wrong, all the rap goes on you. Basically, if your friends aren't there, you two are taking the fall." Ryuichi hesitated. "Shu, if we're wrong, we'll never get a chance to find Yuki and Kaito." Shuichi looked at the paper for a tic, then at Ryu, then signed the paper.

"Oh well."

Ryu and Shu were on their way to the apartment where the complaint was issued. They walked up the stairs with 3 other cops. As they were going up, Shuichi heard some strange sounds, like a muffled scream, and then a malicious laugh.

"POLICE!" shouted an officer, banging on the door, but no one came to open it. They broke it down , and walked into the kitchen, the first room you walked into from the hall. There was no one there, but then suddenly, the group heard what sounded like a door being broken. They all ran to that area, but hesitated at the sounds of gunshots.

" What are you going to do with that?"

" Nothing, nothing at all. The police are here, so I'm gonna kill you and run."

" Kill us? Yuki, I'm scared…"

" Don't worry, Kaito, he won't get to kill us."

" Oh really? Well, we'll see."

Ooh, cliffy, no? I like this chapter a lot.
