Okay, so my mom lied. I'm going home tomorrow.

Chapter 13: Missing

Riku, Demyx and Axel were forced to return to school, the next morning, much to their dismay. "But what if that sick fuck comes back?" Axel asked. "Roxas'll go bonkers!"

"I'm certain things will be fine," Riku muttered. He was happy because the twins, both of them, were going to stay at his house starting this evening. "They'll be busy getting Sora set up. And their dad won't be able to get to them."

"How do you figure?" Axel muttered. "They don't have a restraining order against him yet. The hospital doesn't know what he's done to them. They have no control over it yet."

Riku looked thoughtful. "True…But Reno's there too…He might help them out of a jam if need be."

Axel grinned. "True." A movement of familiar blond hair caught the teen's green eyes. "Huh?" He saw Demyx talking with someone wearing a baggy hoody, hood over his head. The redhead smiled gently as he saw his best friend laugh, a slight blush on his cheeks. "Wonder who that is…" he muttered.

"Hm. Dunno. But it doesn't matter. Demyx couldn't get a date if he tried." Riku ignored the glare Axel gave him and walked off to his first class.

Reno had willingly played a few games with the Hikari twins. Since Sora was allowed to leave his bed from time to time, it made things slightly easier.

"So, who's you get in a fight with?" Roxas asked during their seventh game of Rows (A/n: This is a game my family plays. I'll explain it if you want to learn it.) "It had to have been bad…"

Reno kinda froze, glancing away slightly. "Uh…no one. And it wasn't that bad, really."

"Then why were you unconscious?" Sora quipped.

"Look, I got hit in the head with a book, okay?"

"Oh…okay…"

They continued with their games for a while until a nurse came in to check on Reno's condition. Then the twins went back to their side of the room. "Don't you think it's a bit suspicious?"

"Huh?"

Roxas looked deep in thought. "I mean about Reno's condition. He said he was hit by a book, but…"

"Aw, you just think too much!"

Roxas snorted and bid the nurse farewell as she left. Reno was sitting with his legs over the edge of the bed, rotating his shoulder. "They think you're stable."

"They're lettin' me out, yo." He grinned. "I get to miss and extra day of school though, to be safe."

Sora smiled. "You can never be too careful!"

"True, you can't."

The twins froze, their faces turning pale. They both spun around in unison, and Reno gave the newcomer a wary eye. "Uh…"

Mr. Hikari smiled at them, attempting to give Reno a good impression. "Well. Seems you're doing well, Sora!" Roxas stepped in front of his twin, a growl reverberating in his throat. The man smiled and gave a soft chuckle. "My, my, Roxas. What's the matter?"

"Cut the crap!"

Reno raised a brow at the Hikari twins. "Who's this?"

"Our Dad…" Sora hissed to him. "He's the one who put me here in the first place."

At this, Reno stood up and blocked Roxas, much to the older Hikari's surprise. "Oh, really now? Well, then, looks like it's my turn to play hero today." The redhead and the older began a stare down.

After a moment, Mr. Hikari smirked. "You know, young man, you really shouldn't interfere with the matters of others…"

"Oh, is that a fact?"

"Yes…" The man's eyes darkened. "You might get hurt…" He made to punch Reno in the stomach, but the teen's reflexes were quick. He grabbed Mr. Hikari's arm and twisted it behind his back.

"Sora! Go get security!"

Sora hesitated for a moment, then nodded and ran out the door to get someone. Roxas in the mean time was trying to call the police.

"Hello?"

"I need an officer at the Destiny Star Hospital on Sakura Street."

"What is the emergency, sir?"

"My brother and I have the man who abused us in custody. Please hurry, I don't think we can hold him." Before Roxas could continue, he heard Reno wretch, and felt an arm wrap around his waist. "Ah!" His phone slipped from his hand as Mr. Hikari made a leap for the second-story window, his son in tow.

"Reno!" Sora ran in with a nurse. "What happened?"

"Don't worry about me! That guy just jumped out the window with your brother!"

Sora paled. "Roxas!" He ran to the window. He could see his father struggling with his other child, running down the street. "Roxas!"

"This'll be painful…" Reno made his way over to the window. Ignoring the nurse, the hopped down, landing slightly on his feet. "I'll see if I can catch him! Use your brother's phone and tell the police!" He then took off in a run after the pedophile.

Sora glanced at Roxas' phone, where he could hear a woman's voice. He picked it up. "Hello ma'am! Please ignore what my brother said! He's just been kidnapped!"

Axel sighed happily. He'd completely forgotten that today was a minimum day in school. And so, he, Riku and Demyx had decided to surprise the twins by coming to get them. But on the mean time… "So, Dem…Who was that person I saw you with this morning?" When Demyx blinked at him, he continued. "You know, the one with the black hoody. I saw you giggle and blush…"

Demyx's face turned almost as red as Axel's hair. "Gah, it was…ah…no one. NO one at all. Heh heh…uh…"

Axel laughed. "They're your crush, huh?" At Demyx's shy little nod, Axel let out a whoop. "Holy hell! Who is it Dem!"

"I'm not telling…"

"Aw, why not? You shy or something?" Axel was going to continue his taunting when he heard a familiar scream not far off.

"AXEL!"

Axel froze. "…Roxas…?" He looked at Riku and Demyx. "Tell me you heard it too…"

The two nodded, and then they saw Reno running down an alleyway. "YO! RENO!" The other three ran after. "What's going on!"

"Blondie's been kidnapped by his dad!"

Axel paled, then bolted until he and Reno were side by side, running as fast as their legs could carry them. "That sicko will die!" the younger redhead hissed.

"Well then use your hate for him to propel you after his sick ass!" Reno yelled, picking up the pace a bit.
