But….I want to stay….

Mao backed up a little holding the door for Sousuke so he could take her inside. Sousuke put her down on his bed which he had really never used since he began living there. He took an extra pillow out of a closet and put it on the bed making sure Kaname would be comfortable when she woke up. The students at the prom were still slightly in panic and wondering if she was alright. But after awhile the music had started again and they went on dancing as they had been before.

Mao walked over handing Sousuke the things she had in her hands when he walked in the door. He looked down at them and then at Kaname. He knew he was letting personal feelings interfere but he couldn't help it. He nearly jumped as Mao put her hand on his shoulder.
"Sousuke….go ahead….the sooner you get the mission done the sooner you will be back….I'll take care of her." She said as she looked at Kaname. Sousuke shook his head and stepped away from Mao.
"Go…that's an order sergeant" She said looking at him her purple eyes reflecting the light from the kitchen looked brighter than ever but she seemed to be getting angry at him. Sousuke took a few steps backwards towards the door and walked out and down to the car that was waiting to take him to the air base so he could be taken back to the sub.

Kaname got enough energy to sit up after awhile and panicked as she looked around and didn't see Sousuke anywhere she yelled once.
"Whoa hey Ms. Chidori calm down…." Mao said as she put the canned crab she was preparing down on the plate and walked over.
"W-where is-" She paused thinking for a few seconds.
"Sousuke had to leave for a mission…hey…do you know what happened?" Mao asked tilting her head to the side as she looked at Kaname. Kaname shook her head and hugged her knees to her chest.

"I don't …remember" She said finally after staring at Mao for the longest time. Mao nodded and handed her a glass of water.
"Relax…Sousuke should be back tomorrow sometime after-" Once again cut off as the door to Sousuke's apartment burst open. Three men standing with knives looked around. Mao stared at the men and cursed as she reached to her back taking her gun out. The men spread out looking for Kaname. Upon entering the area where Mao was they managed to kick her gun away from her and knock her out. They had snuck into the hotel that night and put a sedative in Kaname's drink in order to kidnap her. Kaname backed up against the corner of the wall that the bed was against and tried to fight back but still was feeling a little out of it from the sedative that had been in her fruit punch. The other two men came in and totally sedated her as they picked her up and took her out.

Twenty minutes later Mao came to her senses. She said up holding her head and looked around. The apartment was empty.
"Oh…shit…." She said as she stood up nearly falling over but managing.
"Kaname!" She yelled as she made her way to the kitchen area and then the balcony looking around. She then shook her head in disbelief. Mao cursed as she ran out the door after grabbing a gun and going out to look for her.

The next evening….

Sousuke returned to his apartment at 8:34 pm opening the door he sighed. He was worn out and felt like collapsing on the floor but he wanted to make sure Kaname was alright.
"Mao! I'm back…" Sousuke took off his military jacket throwing it on one of the chairs in his kitchen and heading towards the bedroom opening the door he took a look around not seeing anyone there he turned around and checked in the living area. A little confused by the emptiness he took his cell phone out and dialed Mao's cell phone number.
"Mao here…" She said as she picked up the phone as she was driving around looking for any trace of who took Kaname.
"Mao, what is wrong? You sound panicked…" Sousuke said as he sat down at his table. Mao blinked and looked around trying to think of a good excuse not wanting to tell Sousuke really what happened right now. Sousuke waited on the other end of the phone becoming impatient. Mao turned a corner in the car nearly causing an accident as she saw what she thought was the three men and Kaname she pulled the car over on the side of the road and got out as fast as she could and began following the three figures.
"Sagara! Get your ass to the third block west of your apartment!" She yelled into the phone and hung up. Sousuke blinked getting up and putting his phone away as he ran down the stairs as fast as he could and out the door heading towards the third block.
Mao followed the people hearing their voices she knew Chidori was up there. Sousuke got there about ten minutes later remaining quiet. Not realizing the first person he saw was Mao he took her to the ground just like he had taken Shinji Kazuma to the floor before when he was caught stealing Kaname's underwear. Mao nearly screamed as she struggled to get up. Sousuke jumped off realizing it was her and helped her up.
"What the hell Sousuke?" She whispered as she took his hand and pulled him towards the direction she had seen the men and Kaname going. As they walked she explained to Sousuke what had happened while he was out. Sousuke took in everything Mao said though he didn't like it. He ran ahead of Mao deciding he would handle this situation himself. But he suddenly froze hearing a scream and a gun shot from the alley way ahead. Mao ran passed him.
"Don't stop you idiot!" She yelled as she ran towards the alley.
"Mao!" Sousuke yelled snapping back to reality and running to catch up with her. But she had disappeared. Sousuke looked in all directions. Everything fell silent and the only thing he could hear was the light wind blowing some trash and leaves around in the alley way that spit off into thinner alleys.

"Don't Move!" A voice came from behind him along with the feel of a gun being pressed to the back of Sousuke's neck. Sousuke swallowed hard as he stared straight ahead seeing the guys that had taken Kaname as well as Kaname get into a truck. Kaname was once again unconscious from what Sousuke could tell she was being carried. Sousuke felt his gun be removed from the area he had it between his belt and his pants and heard it hit the ground. He took a deep breath and didn't say anything or even try to move at this point. Now wishing Mao would come out of nowhere and take the jerk behind him out.
