Last Time - "Oh? You still think you can stop me? You couldn't even avenge the death of Taki. Your own brother!"
Chapter Nine: Wake Up Sleeping Beauty!
"B-brother?" Shuichi stuttered, raising his blood stained face so his swollen eyes met Tatsuke's, who looked away, seeming ashamed.
"You didn't notice? They look exactly alike except for height. Heh heh heh. How ironic. Your new friend is the little brother of the man your husband murdered." Hitomi laughed as she made Shuichi's already fast growing guilt grow even faster.
--------------------------------------
"Tatsuke Aizawa? Who's that? Is he related to Taki?" Hiro asked.
"He's Taki's younger brother." Tohma stated almost as if in a disbelieving trance. "...but...he'd always been so much kinder than Aizawa..." he continued, still seeming slightly shocked, and now confused.
-------------------------------------
"Tatsuke...I'm so sorry..." Shuichi whispered, unable to move from the wounds he'd received. Hitomi and her men had left only a few minutes before.
"No Shu...I'm sorry...I knew my brother was a bastard yet I still tried to blame you and Yuki-san for the death he probably brought upon himself...heh...mom always said his attitude was gonna get him into real trouble some day...looks like she was right...I don't know what he did to you but it must've been pretty bad for you not to have stoppd Yuki-san. Not to mention the way you reacted when you first saw me...I...hope you don't mind me asking but...what exactly did he do to you?" Tatsuke didn't receive an answer for it was then that Shuichi slipped into unconciousness leaving Tatsuke alone to listen to his pained intakes of breath as he slept in the oblivion of his mind.
-------------------------------------
He was cold...his wrists hurt...and he had a headache. Basically Eiri Yuki felt like shit. He peeked open his eyes expecting blinding light but instead found nothing but darkenss. What happened? Had he gone blind? Last he remembered he was trying to save...Shuichi! Where was the boy? Did that woman let him go as promised? Was Yuki dead? Oh how he wished someone was there to answer his questions, but alas, he was alone...in the darkness of his mind.
-------------------------------------
She was getting bored. The pink-haired brat wasn't much fun to hurt when there was no Yuki around to hear his screams. She needed the ultimate revenge...What would hurt Eiri Yuki more than anything else in the world? Well, obviously that would be killing the brat...but what way would cause the most pain to the novelist? She sat for hours debating her choices, until she was suddenly hit with her best plan yet. She stood from her chair with a triumphant smirk on her face. She needed to pay a visit to an unfortunate, suicidal patient at the hospital.
----------------------------------------
"Ok. so from the note Mr. Yuki left, we know that a woman now has Shu and she's trying to avenge Taki. But we have no clue who or where she is. Is there no way we can trace her call?" Hiro asked, desperate for their search to prove worthwhile.
"Since she was calling from what seemed to be a wireless phone, we can't trace it without being connected to it." K answered grimly.
After a rather uncomfortable silence, Suguru spoke up. "So why don't we call her?"
Everyone looked over at him, causing him to blush from being the center of attention before, "That's an excellent idea! I can't believe I didn't think of it!" K burst out, causing everyone to sweat drop (anime style). Once K's little 'blonde moment" was over, he dialed the number that had been on the caller ID of Eiri and Shuichi's home phone. As soon as it started ringing, he started tracing. Unfortunately it disconnected before he could get an exact pinpoint. He did however, get pretty close. "Somewhere very near the hospital but that's all I could get..."
"Why would she be close to the hospital?" Tatshuya asked, wondering if K knew what he was doing. "Unless..."
"Eiri!" Mika yelled, already running out the door and in the direction of the hospital.
------------Meanwhile------------------
Someone was calling him...it was female...Mika?...no..Ayaka?...no...someone he didn't know...
"Eiiiiiiriiiii...Wake up...Shuichi needs you..."
Shuichi what?...What was wrong with the brat?...Was this a dream?...
"You have to wake up to save him...Eiri..."
Golden orbs fluttered open, temporarily blinded by the light of the hospital room. Wait...hospital? 'When did I get here?...last I remember I was...in my living room...Did someone find me?...who's that?'
"Ah..you're finally awake."
"Who are you?"
"My name doesn't matter. What does matter, is that I have the address of where Mr. Shindou is being kept." she said, waving a peice of paper in the air.
"You're...her." Eiri said with a gasp and a glare, realization dawning on him.
"Heh heh heh. That's right. Be there at midnight tomorrow night. Alone. And don't tell anyone I was here." She answered, giving him the papter before leaving.
Not too long after she left, Tohma, Mika, K, Fujisake, Hiro, Ayaka, Tatshuya, and Ryuichi all burst in.
"..."
"..."
"...Eiri you're awake!"
