DISCLAIMER: I do not own Gravitation

a/n: This will probably be the last update for a while...because I won't be hoe all next week. So unless I somehow become really motivated it'll be a few days before I get on a computer after Friday.

There was a loud static-like sound followed by a click and then a voice, "They took the bait." Ryuichi held the walkie talkie up to his ear to make sure he heard it clearly, then nodded and moved it down to his mouth holding the button on the side while he spoke.

"Thanks for the help, K" He clicked the walkie talkie off and stuck it In his back pocket and looked across the room at Tatsuha. "You ready?" He asked the boy who was sitting in the dark.

"I guess…What's going on?" Tatsuha asked standing up.

"We have to get your brother out of his house." Ryuichi said pointing he building that Yuki lived in.

"What about Maiko?"

"Who?"

"Shuichi's sister." Tatsuha explained, "She's staying with us this week…weirdo girl, completely obsessed with Yuki." He laughed, "But she tries to hide it which isn't as bad."

"Hm." Ryuichi turned around, looking away from the building, to think, "She could come to our advantage…That would mean that we wouldn't need these then." Ryuichi sighed and reached into his windbreaker.

"Need what?" Tatsuha asked suspiciously. At that moment Ryuichi pulled out 4 small land mines, 2 hand grenades, a pea shooter, 1 sniper rifle, and a few rolls of blanks. Tatsuha stared at the weaponry in complete shock.

"K wouldn't let me leave with out them." Ryuichi explained and casually tossed everything behind him out into the street. He ignored the crashes and screeches of all the cars avoiding all of the assault weapons and grabbed Tatsuha's hand and dragging him across the street to Yuki's place.

"Now use your key to get in…He can't know we're here yet." Ryuichi whispered.

"We don't have to whisper yet." Tatsuha whispered back, "He's almost on the top floor, he can't hear us."

He used his key to open the front door of the apartment complex and guided Ryuichi towards the stairs and they started on their way up to the floor Yuki lived on.

Maiko dug through her things in her suitcase that she had setting on top of the guest bed. She tossed a few shirts out on the floor, followed by a couple skirts, a pair of jeans, until the suitcase was empty. "Argh!" She held her hair out of her face and tried to calm down, "Why can't I find any socks?" She screamed and began to pick everything up off the floor and toss it back in the suitcase. She was zipping it when she noticed a small duffel bag in the corner of the room.

She walked over and tossed the bag on the bed, sighing and was getting ready to open it when the door crashed open and she jumped and let out a shout of surprise.

"Aha! Caught you!" Tatsuha shouted pointing. After a moment he lowered his finger and stared at the traumatized girl, "Oh sorry, you're not Yuki." He turned around and shouted down the hall, "He's not here…It's just Maiko."

"Ok, he's not here either!" A male's voice called from another room.

"Uh…" Maiko's heartbeat had finally slowed down and was almost back to normal, so she decided to speak, "He left about a half hour ago after he ate muttering something about writer's block." She said shakily.

"He's at the park!" Tatsuha shouted back down the hall. A few seconds later Ryuichi Sakuma appeared by his side nodding.

"Yeah, he's defiantly not here…Which means we have about an hour, right?"

Tatsuha nodded, then motioned to Maiko, "Meet Maiko…Shuichi's little sister."

"Hi!" Ryuichi gave her a big smile and waved.

"Hi" She said giving a small wave back, "Why do you guys need Yuki?"

"We don't" Tatsuha shook his head, "We're trying to get rid of him…If you could go put up the chain lock on the door that'd be great."

"What's going on?" She folded her arms and eyed them suspiciously. The two men exchanged glances then shut the door and ran away. "Hey!" Maiko cursed then ran to the door, swinging it open as fast as she could and ran down the hall, stopping just before the living room, "I want to know what you two are doing!"

Tatsuha froze from tying a bunch of sticks together and Ryuichi looked up from the sign he was painting. "I said," Maiko repeated her self, "What's going on?" The two exchanged glances with one another again and Ryuichi shrugged. Tatsuha sighed and set down the sticks and walked over to Maiko, placing his hands on her shoulder.

"It's top secret business." He whispered, "But we'll go ahead and let you in on it, because we trust you." He leaned in closer so he could whisper quieter which caused the girl to blush slightly at the closeness, "Your brother and Hiro kidnapped Kumagoro and we have to get him back. Without him Ryuichi is just like a poor, lost, little kid."

"Isn't he alre-" She stopped when Tatsuha placed his finger over mouth to keep her quiet which only caused her to blush even more.

"You need to be very quiet…He's quite emotional at the moment." He paused, "Do you want to help us get Kumagoro back as soon as we can?" Maiko was thinking about it for a moment then Tatsuha spoke again, "I'll pay you back somehow."

Maiko froze in thought then nodded, "OK, I'll help. What do you want me to do?" She watched Tatsuha glance over at a clock then look back at her. "I need you to go downstairs and stall Hiro and Shuichi until it's about eight o'clock. Can you do that? It'll give us enough time to set everything up."

"Yeah…I can do that." Maiko nodded, it seemed like a simple enough task.

"No wonder Shuichi says you're the best sister in the world." Tatsuha hugged her, "You a hell lot nicer than my sister!"

"It's no problem really." She giggled, "I'm always happy to help."

Tatsuha went back to tying the sticks together and Ryuichi returned to painting the large sign that read 'PLACE THE RABBIT HERE' and had an arrow pointing down. Maiko slipped her shoes on and went down stairs to wait for Shuichi and Hiro to show up.
