Chapter XIII: Obsession.
Botan woke up with the worst headache ever. Her head felt like someone was knocking on it with a hammer. Her mouth was dry and her body ached with pain. She tried to sit up and stopped when she met resistance. She turned her head on her left to find that her hand was bound to the bed. She moved her right hand and felt the same thing. Her feet were also bound. She struggled to get herself untied but failed. She even tried to shifted into spirit form but couldn't do that either. She was confused. What was wrong with her powers? Why weren't they working? Since she couldn't do anything else, she surveyed her surroundings. She couldn't see much. The room was dark beside the rays of sun that filtered through the closed curtains. "Where am I?" she asked her herself. She never had been here before. If she had she would have remembered.
She heard a door open and quickly feigned sleep. The footsteps were getting louder as they approached her. She felt the bed shifted under the new comer's weight. She then felt someone touched her face. The hand caressed her cheeks, ran along her collarbone then touched her lips.
"Botan, wake up."
She recognized the voice as Yusuke's and opened her eyes. Yusuke's face came into focus. He was leaning over her.
"Botan, are you okay?" he asked.
"Yes, I'm fine."
He brushed her hair away from her face.
"Yusuke, why am I tied to the bed?"
He didn't answer. Instead he untied her and helped her sit. Her back hurt from lying down for so long. She massaged her wrists and turned to face her boyfriend. His face was emotionless. Was he still mad at her?
"Yusuke, where are we?"
"You've been kidnapped. Do you remember who did it?"
"No, the guy was wearing a mask?"
They felt into silent. Botan eyed Yusuke. Something about him seemed different. She didn't know why but when he touched her, it felt different. Or maybe she was just imagining things.
"Yusuke, are you still mad at me?" she asked.
"No, I'm not."
"Then why won't you talk to me?"
"Sorry, I was just thinking about something."
"Can we get out of here? This place gives me the creeps. And where the hell are we anyway?"
She got of the bed and made her way to the curtains. She was about to pull it opened when Yusuke stopped her.
"Don't do that."
"Why?"
"I thought we can make out now."
"You want to make out right now?"
He touched her face and started raining kisses down her neck. There it was again, she felt nothing to his touch. There was no spark. Her heart didn't accelerate like it usually did every time he touched her. Something was wrong. This didn't feel right. She gently pushed him away from her.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Uhh...nothing. Can we just get out of here?"
"Why? Don't you want to make love with me? Don't you love me? I love you."
He just said he loved her. Yusuke would never say something like that. And what's with the sudden urge to make love with her? This whole thing didn't make sense at all. What the hell was going on? She froze as reality hit her.
Yusuke woke up with a jerk. His body was drenched with sweat. His heart was racing. He whipped the sweat of his face and took a deep breathe. The vents from last night came back to him. He has to start looking for her today. He got of the bed and went to the bathroom. He took a quick shower and found some clothes in her closet. He had no idea where to start so he decided to go to school. During the day, he looked for anything that might give a clue of her whereabouts. At lunch, he met with Kuwabara. They sat at their usual table. Both of them didn't eat anything. They just sat in silence.
"I'm sorry, Urameshi."
"Don't be. This is my all fault anyway. If didn't pushed her away, she would still be here. I looked everywhere for her. Where could she be?"
"Well don't give up yet. She has to be somewhere."
Silence felt between them again. Then suddenly, Kuwabara said.
"Hey, Urameshi, where's that guy Botan like to hang out with?"
"You mean Kenny?"
"Yeah."
"I don't know."
"Do you think he might have anything to do with Botan's disappearance?"
"I don't know. Why would he want to kidnap Botan? I thought they were friends."
"Well, it was just a thought."
"Well, we can always ask him if he had seen her yesterday."
"I think he's absent."
"What do you mean?"
"He's in one of my classes and he wasn't here today."
"That's weird."
After school, Yusuke and Kuwabara went back to Botan's apartment. They searched her apartment for clues. They found absolutely nothing.
"Hey, I found her cell phone." Kuwabara said.
"That's weird. Botan never went out without her cell phone."
Kuwabara punched a few numbers and then frowned.
"Look, Kenny was the last call she had."
Yusuke took the phone from his friend and eyed it for a minute.
"What do you say we pay a visit to our new friend?"
Botan was getting frantic. She had a pretty good idea who had kidnapped her but she didn't want him to know that she knew he wasn't the real Yusuke. She couldn't understand why he wanted to kidnapped her. Either he was foolish or he didn't know who he was messing with. She paced up and down the room thinking of what to do next. Her kidnapper was still in the room sitting on the bed. He didn't act like the typical kidnapper. He was clam. She played his game so far. Hopefully Yusuke would show up before he decided that he wanted to make love to her for real.
He moved from his position and came to stand behind her. She tensed up when he touched her shoulder. She resisted the urge to push him away from her. he started to rain kisses on her shoulders. His arms snaked around her waist.
"Yusuke, what are you doing?"
"I want to make love to you."
"Can you wait till we get home?"
"No, I don't want to wait. I want to make love to you now."
He brusquely turned her around and ripped her shit off. She held her arms in front of her to hide her nudity even though she still had her bra on.
"Why won't you make love to me?"
"Maybe because I love him and not you."
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh! Come on. I might be a ditz but I'm not stupid. I know you're not Yusuke. He would never hurt me."
And right before her eyes, he shifted back into his original form. She was shocked to see who it actually was. She knew it was a shape- shifting demon Koenma had told them about. But she didn't know it was actually Kenny. Never in a million years would she had guessed that he had manipulating her this whole time.
"Surprise."
That was an understatement.
"It's you. I can believe I didn't guess it sooner."
"I'm surprised you didn't guess it either."
"Why did you kidnap me?"
"Why don't we start from the beginning? You see, my name is Kinaya. I came to Ningenkai with only one. That was to get rid of Urameshi but when I saw you, my plans flew right out of my head. You were, well you're still are, the most beautiful creature I ever laid eyes on. I decided right then I must have you. I was obsessed with you. I couldn't get you out of my heard. Lucky for me, I met Kenny Keitu. He was supposed to attend your school. It was the perfect opportunity that I needed. I quickly disposed of him and assume his place at your school. But when I got in, I wasn't prepared to find that you were already taken and by none other that my enemy.
"I guess you should have done you're homework." She said sarcastically.
"To tell you the truth I was furious. I wanted to kill so badly but I couldn't risk exposing myself yet."
"That's still doesn't explain why you kidnap me."
"Well, when I call you last night and you told me that we couldn't see each other anymore because your asshole of a boyfriend was mad at you. At first, I thought of killing that asshole once and for all but knew you would hate me for it. So I decided to take you instead."
"And don't you think Yusuke would be looking for me?"
"I wouldn't expect anything less from him but by the time he found out who took you. We will be long gone."
"And you think I would go with you so willingly?"
"Well, you don't have any other choice, my love."
He moved toward her and pulled her to her feet. He touched her face with the back of his hand.
"Why waste such beauty on someone who can even appreciate it?"
He leaned down to kiss her and she kicked him right on the groin. He tumbled down in pain. She profited of the occasion to run out of the door. Thank goodness, it was dark outside. She almost cried out as the cold air hit her flesh. She didn't pause to think. She just ran and ran. She could hear Kinaya running after her. All she could think about was getting away. Away from him. She wanted Yusuke. Then she suddenly bumped into someone. She looked to meet the eyed of a very angry Yusuke. to make sure that he was real she turned around to see Kinaya not so far away.
She forgot that she was half naked until Yusuke wrapped his jacked around her. She trembled in his arms and just broke down and cried. She couldn't believe she just got kidnapped and almost got raped. She sobbed in Yusuke chest. He wrapped her in his arms as if trying to calm her.
"What did you do to her?" he barked.
"Nothing. Yet."
Yusuke growled and turned to Kuwabara.
"Kuwabara, take her home. It's time to take out the trash."
"Urameshi?" Kuwabara protested.
"Take her home." He yelled.
"Come on, Botan."
Kuwabara took her by the shoulder and led her away. They didn't get far before Yusuke and Kinaya engaged in battle. Both Kuwabara and Botan turned around to watch. Botan didn't see much. She was too frightened to register anything. Both Yusuke and Kinaya were moving very fast. Neither giving up. They both matched in speed and strength. In the midst of battle Kinaya had changed into Yusuke again and Botan couldn't which one was the real one till the real Yusuke summoned his Spirit Orb. That was the last thing she saw before both fighters were engulfed in an explosion of light.
"Yusuke." she yelled.
Author's note: What happen to Yusuke? Is he still alive or is ...dead??? Well found out in the next chapter. And by the way if you leave lots of reviews I promised to update the next chapter by Friday. Ja ne ^_~
