CHAPTER 13: Let the Mission Begin

Sorin stares through the windshield of Ban's Beetle, his arms and legs crossed as he watches the road speeds under them. The half-lidded green eyed stare is level but almost irritated when you take a close look. The level gaze slides over to Ban; Sorin says, "Midou, are you sure about this mission being the best one we can get? My help doesn't come cheap, you know, especially after all I've had to put up with today."

"Listen, it'll be fine. 2,000 yen is a good amount," Ban states.

"For retrieving a ruby the size of my fist?"

"Well, it's a synthetic one."

"I don't care."

"We can try to negotiate about the reward later, you're right, it should be more. It is a scientific breakthrough to make one that big, but let's focus on getting it back first."

"Fine," Sorin glares, "I just hope we get this over with fast."

Ginji smiles up at Akabane, Mozart, and Shidou and says, "So our mission is to retrieve Madoka-chan?"

"Yes," Shidou nods, answering Ginji's question, "There was this man who was my rival in trying to win Madoka's affection. Obviously, I won. Now, he thinks kidnapping her will somehow help."

"A desperate attempt to win back something that was never his," Akabane comments, "That reminds me of someone I know."

Ginji gives Akabane a confused look, "Who?"

The sound of footsteps, the creak of a door that needs its hinges oiled opening, the footsteps start to walk on the carpeted floor. Madoka turns from the feeling of the warm sunshine on her face from the window and asks in an annoyed tone, "Who is it? Coming to check on me again, Matthew? I hate kidnappers."

"Kidnapper is such a strong word," the voice of her kidnapper, Matthew, states, "The real kidnapper is that Fuyuki Shidou, the one who stole you from me."

"That's not true! Shidou's a good person!" Madoka glares at the man, "That's why I love him!"

"Don't you dare say that!" Mat screams.

"I'll never love you!" Madoka replies defiantly while knocking over her captor, forcing her way past him and making a mad dash down the hall, her arms in front of her so she won't bump into the wall since Mozart wasn't brought with her to guide her out. The small blind violinist starts trying to grope for an exit desperately, (I have to find a way out! He's crazy! I need to get away!)

"What's the matter? Your handicap is hindering your escape, love?"

"Not really," Madoka smiles, walking in front of him and using the same move she used on Hishiki "Undead" Ryuudo in Akutsu's mansion and yet again runs from him (this time he stays stunned longer, though), she calls back to him, "I'm said to have God's ears, remember? I can defend myself!"

"Are you sure this is the place?" Ginji asks, looking at a house that looks quite nice, "This doesn't look like a kidnapper's house."

"This has to be the place," Shidou replies, "Mozart told me this is the-" The door swings open, hitting Shidou in the face and Madoka sprints out, bumping into Ginji.

"Please! Help me! Matthew-san had kidnapped me and locked me in a room! I was so- Hm?" Madoka puts her hands on Ginji's face, "Ginji-san?"

"Hi, Madoka-chan," Ginji smiles as Mozart walks up to Madoka and nuzzles her leg.

"Mozart!" Madoka smiles, giving her guide dog a hug, "Where's Shidou-kun?" Mozart leads her to Shidou who is pitifully rubbing the bump on his forehead. Madoka smiles, tears falling from her cheeks, and puts her hands on his face to make sure it's him; when she's sure she promptly hugs him, "Shidou-kun! It's you! I felt a bump on your head, are you OK?"

"I'm OK," Shidou smiles, "Let's get out of here."

"I'll call the police," Ginji smiles, "Akabane-chan, can you go tie up the kidnapper?"

"Of course. This is too easy," Akabane smiles, running into the house and tying up Matthew.

-A Few Hours Later-

"Baka! I can't believe you let the Beetle get towed while we weren't looking!" Sorin screams, "That put such a dent in our profits!"

"Well you could've watched over it, too, you know," Ban retorts.

"But it's your car!"

"Well, you're riding in it right now, too!"

"So!?"

"Just take a nap, Sorin," Ban sighs exhaustedly.

"What?" Sorin asks, a little confused by the comment, but then Ban's blue eyes meet his green eyes and he falls asleep.

"Now you'll dream about someone you care about and I can get some peace," Ban comments putting a cigarette in his mouth and lighting up.

"Midou, you shouldn't smoke..." Sorin comments, rolling onto his other side in his sleep, "That stuff kills..." Ban, of course, almost lets his cigarette fall from his mouth. Sorin likes him? He can't! But Ban made it so the illusion would be someone he cares about!

The brunette leans over and asks, "Why do you care?"

"I don't know, Midou. I guess I always have..." Sorin smiles in his sleep and puts his arms around Ban's neck, pulling him into a kiss. Then, since a minute is up, Sorin wakes up to see Ban kissing him, (What's going on!? Has Midou Ban gone crazy!? ...Hm... Well if he has, I'll let him stay like that for a while...)

Well, this chapter seems OK... Read and review! Voice your opinion, but no flames, OK?

Cold Rain: Nice move kicking that idiot, Mat, like that, Madoka-chan.

Shidou: I can't believe you did it, but I'm glad you did.

Madoka: (blush) A-arigatou! Ai shiteru, Shidou-kun.

Cold Rain: (faces Sorin and Ban) And you two are finally acting nice! You kissed and made up!

Sorin & Ban: (blush) Whatever...
