A/n: I'm back with a new chapter! Finally! I was planning to update a lot more over the summer holidays but I've been a lot busier than I expected, most my time has been taken up by either skating, art homework or work so I've not had an awful lot of time to write anything. Even now I should really be finishing my art homework but I received a comment on this story the other day which encouraged me to try and finish this chapter, anyway, this is the chapter that started this whole story as it was just going to be a one shot but then I loved the idea too much, I have cut this chapter in half though as I wanted to have the rest as a separate chapter so I can develop it more as I feel like it needs more development. Anyway that is all from me so enjoy the chapter and byyyyeeee

Later on that night, Natsuya was sat at the table in their kitchen, when Ikuya walked into the room

"Why don't you just change the training schedule?" Ikuya asked, his voice emotionless as he poured himself a drink.

"What do you mean?" Natsuya asked, turning around slightly to look at his younger brother.

"Even if we don't do exchange training, if we just do our best individually then the relay..." Ikuya was cut off.

"It's because you say stuff like that that it isn't going well," Natsuya stated.

"Are you saying this is all my fault? The other guys are the same," Ikuya asked in disbelief

"Stop playing innocent and blaming it on your friends. The relay is about the team." Natsuya answered

"Team? Friends? You're one to talk big brother. You're the one who said you wanted to expand your world and make new friends. And left me all alone first big brother!" Ikuya ran from the room

"Ikuya!" Natsuya tried to gain his attention, glancing back down at his work when Ikuya ignored him and carried on running.

Ikuya stopped in the hallway, resting his head against the wall as he let tears fall freely from his eyes. He looked around before deciding to go for a walk, grabbing his shoes and leaving the house before Natsuya could question him.

Hearing the front door close, Natsuya called out

"Ikuya?" He received no reply and so, thinking he imagined it, he turned back to his work.

Ikuya began running as soon as he was outside, not slowing down until he was a few blocks from his house. he didn't know where he was going however, he wanted to be anywhere apart from his house at this moment in time and so, h continued walking, ignoring everyone he passed by.

He's probably glad you're gone,

Ikuya thought to himself as he walked

He's probably been waiting for you to leave all this time. He won't be worried if anything he'll be happy. Happy that you're gone, happy that you'll never bother him again, happy that you could quite possibly be dead.

"Shut up," Ikuya muttered to himself, hoping to stop his thoughts from running wild. It was slightly cold out and Ikuya shivered, walking slightly faster in an attempt to warm up.

Ikuya eventually lost track of time once his legs became tired.. he had arrived at a small park that as far as he was aware, was nowhere near his house. He found a bench to sit on that was partially surrounded by trees. From where he sat, he had a nice view of the sun that had begun setting. It burned bright oranges and reds as it slowly sunk lower, the world around him growing darker.

You know what happens to people who go out alone at night, murdered, raped, kidnapped, mugged...

Ikuya's brain was working at a rapid pace, coming up with worst case scenarios and yet he couldn't bring himself to go home. It was dark and cold but he didn't care. He didn't want to go home. He didn't want to talk to Natsuya. He wanted to stay right here, even if it meant dealing with the many thoughts that rushed through his head.

Natsuya finished his work around an hour later. he packed up all of his things and decided to check on Ikuya. Natsuya hadn't seen him since he left the room earlier and he was wondering why his younger brother had suddenly gone silent. He knocked on Ikuya's door, receiving no answer.

"Ikuya?" He called, once again receiving no answer. He opened the door slightly, noticing that the lights were off.

Maybe he's gone to sleep, Natsuya thought to himself as he made his way towards Ikuya's bed. Looking closely, he noticed that ikuya was not there and his bed was completely empty. Confused, Natsuya made his way through the house looking for his younger brother.

After searching the whole house and finding nothing, Natsuya decided to try ringing Ikuya's phone. he dialed the number and listened to the phone ringing. Once, Twice, Three times. There was no answer.

"He must have gone out and left his phone here. Damn." Natsuya muttered before deciding to go and search for his brother. Something about the situation just didn't sit right with him and so, he pulled his shoes on, heading out the front door as he began to search for Ikuya.

Ikuya had lost track of time soon enough. He still didn't feel like going home however, he was tired. A loud yawn escaped his mouth as his eyes began to close against his will.

"No, I can't fall asleep here..." Ikuya muttered to himself, standing up again to go and walk around for a bit.

Natsuya had been out for almost an hour now looking for Ikuya. He had been round to all the neighbor's houses asking if they had seen him to no avail. No one had seen Ikuya and Natsuya was starting to panic even more

"Where could he of got to then? Why did he go out in the first place?" Natsuya murmured to himself.

After around another half hour, Natsuya decided that he wasn't going to be able to find Ikuya. He tried ringing him once more, again receiving no answer before deciding to call the police. After dialing the number, he waited, listening to the rings before a voice asked which service he needed. He answered with police before the call was passed on and a kind sounding woman asked what was wrong.

"It's my brother. He left the house around an hour and a half ago without telling me and I'm not sure where he's gone." Natsuya explained hurriedly, trying to keep most of the panic out of his voice

"Okay, try to stay calm, does he have a phone with him?" The woman's voice stayed calm, slightly calming Natsuya when she spoke

"Yeah I think so," Natsuya answered

"Have you tried ringing him?" Her voice was still calm, making Natsuya wonder if he was the only person freaking out in this situation

"Yeah, but he didn't answer me," Natsuya replied

"Okay, that's alright, maybe he didn't hear his phone go off. Could you please give us a description of what he looks like and a name?"

Natsuya answered as best he could and the woman told him that they would start looking for Ikuya immediately, making Natsuya relax slightly. His next thought was to call their parents and explain the situation tot hem and so, he dialed their number, listening to the rings anxiously as he tried to think of how to tell them

"Natsuya? What's wrong? We're on our way home now."His mother answered, sounding slightly confused

"Ikuya's gone out somewhere without telling me and I'm not sure where he's gone," Natsuya explained quickly

"When?" His mother asked, her voice laced with concern

"Over an hour ago." Natsuya replied, still worrying about Ikuya "I called the police. They said they'd sent some officers out to look for him."

"Okay..." There was a deep breath on the other end of the phone "Where are you now?"

"I'm a few blocks away from home. I realized he was gone about half an hour ago so I came out to try looking for him." Natsuya replied

"Right, go home, for now, we'll talk about it when we get home and then go out and look for him for a bit, Okay?" His mother asked. Natsuya nodded, even though he knew that she couldn't see it

"Okay," Natsuya finally replied

"See you soon then, try not to worry too much." After that, the phone went dead, silence greeting Natsuya once more. A loud sigh of defeat left him as he began slowly making his way home, still keeping an eye out in case Ikuya was somewhere he had missed before.

Another A/n: I always forget to mention but feedback is always greatly appreciated, especially if it's to do with spelling, grammar or punctuation as I'm not very good with either of those things to be completely honest, Hopefully there won't be too many mistakes as I have finally gotten round to getting a spelling and grammar checker but there is a chance that I might have missed some things, also feedback about the plot would be appreciated as after this chapter, I do not have the rest of the story pre-written so I'll probably end up adding in random ideas here and there anyway, I think that is all this time so again, byyyeeee
