Chapter 3: The Search.
Rei held the torn peices in his hands and started to panick. He looked down the block and across the street but there was no where they could hide. 'Where are they!' he thought. Rei knew he couldn't look for them on his own with much luck so he decided to go back to the resteraunt and get Harumi and Tatsuya to help. He ran the way he had come, unaware of the two figures watching him through the art supply window.
Masoa released his hand from Kira's mouth as Rei ran from sight.
"Masoa. Why are you doing this?" breathed Kira.
"You ruined my life Kira, and now I want revenge."
"Ruined your life? You tried to ruin mine! How could I have possibly ruined your life.?" she asked.
"By sending me into that mental institution! It's your fault I can't live a normal life! So now in return for ruining my life, I'll just take yours from you." He dragged her out of the store and towards an apartment building, pushing aside a grungy looking man on the way. He shoved her inside the brick building, where it was dark and smelled of rotting wood. He pinned her against a wall and drew something shiny out of his left pocket.
Kira felt something cold prick against her neck and looked at what she could see of Masoa's smiling face.
"Masoa. Don't do this. It's not my fault that you were sent to the institution, it's yours."
"What do you mean mine?" he asked coldly.
"I mean that you would have never been sent there if you hadn't killed Yaoji (the bully man, i forgot his name). Now would you?"
"Shut up! I don't even know who this Yaoji person is! All I remember is you and nothing else, for a year now I couldn't remember anything and it's so damn frusterating! My mind has been like a blank white canvas that's been painted black!
"The only colors I could see in you were black Masoa." she whispered.
Rei had run back to the resteraunt and had gotten Harumi and Tatsuya to join him in the search. They all took opposite directions to find Kira; and each person had a cell phone for contact. Rei took the North, Harumi took the East and Tatutsuya took the West. Rei went to the Art supply store again and asked the clerk if he had seen Kira as he dug for her picture in his wallet. Sadly the answer was no, so Rei asked people on the street if they had seen Kira, and every one of them said no. 'They couldn't have just dissapeared from thin air.' he thought.
Harumi went around all the alley's and asked anyone she found that didn't try to kill her, but no one had seen them.
Tatsuya wasn't having any luck either, he went by a pool haul and was intimidated by the all the strong hulks in it to even ask. He then ran to a gas station he spotted and asked if anyone had seen Kira or Masoa giving discriptions of them both. Everyone said no except for a shady looking man, sitting on the curb. He looked like he was homeless, and run down.
"Sir, did you say that you'd seen my friend?" asked Tatsuya a bit cautiously.
"Yeah I saw 'em, the boy that was with her pushed me down. Damn kid." the man hoarsly said.
"Do you know where they went?" asked Tatsuya.
"Yeah, they went into a run down apartment buildi'n about two blocks from here."
"Thank you sir!" Tatsuya started to run towards the described building when he stopped and turned around. He reached into his pocket and placed two hundred dollars in the grungy mans hands, and said thanks once again. 'Now on to find Kira' he thought.
A/N: It's short again. Hee. But no cliffy. R&R!
