I'M REALLY REALLY SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT. Honestly, I had some things going on and a lot to do at home. Here it is! The chapter you've been waiting for. I'm actually working on two stories right now; this and the "Fem! Shinobu x Yoh" story ( s/12108015/1/Cabbage-Patch-Terrorist-Fem-Shinobu-Takatsuki-x-Yoh-Miyagi) Anyway, really sorry, I 'll try to publish more often, at least once a week.

Silence. Absolute silence. Tanaka remained silent after the single question that Akihiko asked.

"Tanaka, where is Misaki?"

Akihiko waited for the answer to his question. Watching Tanaka stay quiet in fear, a worried expression washed over Akihiko's calm face. Akihiko repeated his question.

"Where's Misaki?"

Still Tanaka is silent; but Akihiko's voice became louder and angrier.

"Tanaka, Where's Misaki!?"

Tanaka finally spoke, "Akihiko-sama, please calm down. I'll go get him." After staying still for a long time, Tanaka quickly walked up the stairs to Fuyuhiko's room. Akihiko stared at Tanaka in confusion. Why was he going upstairs?

Tanaka opens Fuyuhiko's large bedroom doors which caught Misaki's attention. The poor bound boy watched Tanaka rummage through Fuyuhiko's belongings.

'The key! Where's the damn key!?' Tanaka asked himself as he frantically opened and closed Fuyuhiko's drawers.

"Tanaka?," Misaki nervously called. "Usagi-san's voice just now; that was him, wasn't it?" Misaki's voice was emphasized with tears and fear. "He's out there! I can't face him! I can't let him see me like this!"

"Damn it Takahashi-sama, Shut Up!" Tanaka began to raise his voice out of terror. Tanaka finally found the key in Fuyuhiko's small drawer to his desk. Tanaka ran to Misaki, and then inserted the key into it's rightful slot.

CLICK!

The minute the cuffs unbuckled, Misaki instantly got out of the master bed. Misaki stood in his boxer briefs, with bare wrist. Misaki was free.

"Misaki!"

Misaki heard a familiar deep voice call out his name. Misaki turned to the man who called his name.

"Usagi..." Misaki looked at Usagi with regret in his eyes. 'Why...of all times would you return; in the state I'm in right now?'

CRASH!

Misaki's eyes widen as he watched Akihiko slowly fall face down on the ground with a thin stream of blood running from his forehead. Misaki blankly stared at Akihiko's unconcious body stay still on the ground.

"Grab your clothes and get the hell out!" Tanaka shouted." Misaki could not move, especially after he witnessed the Usami family butler betray Akihiko.

"I SAID GO!," Tanaka exclaimed even louder. Seeing the butler enraged for the first time, Misaki was prompted to grab his clothes off the sofa chair and run.

Meanwhile, Tanaka looked at himself at the narrow wall mirror on his left side. All he saw was a man in his everyday black tuxedo holding in his left hand the top half of a beautiful vase with a shattered bottom.

"Nnnnn..."

Tanaka quickly turned his head to Akihiko who pushed himself off the ground. Akihiko was on his right knee. He tried to figure out what exactly happened. Akihiko pondered while feeling a warm liquid on his forehead. He lowed his fingertips from his forehead to his eyes to see the blood shimmer on his fingers. Then Akihiko looked at Tanaka and then the half broken vase.

"You have ten seconds to tell me what the fuck his going on," Akihiko angrily stated. Tanaka hesitated to speak. As a result, Tanaka ran out of the room.

"Tanaka!" Akihiko shouted. Akihiko was too weak and dizzy to run after Tanaka. Akihiko was on his knees and hands. Akihiko uttered his last word, "Ta..na...ka."

Misaki was running down the long driveway while he struggled to put his pants on. As soon as Misaki could pull his pants up to his knees, Misaki fell face down. Misaki's cute face was on the grass adjacent to the driveway. Misaki lifted his grassy face while tears ran down his cheeks like a waterfall. In his head, Misaki kept reliving the moment Akihiko called his name and he faced him. Then Tanaka grabbing the vase; running towards Akihiko and then smashing the bottom of the face onto the top of Usagi's head.

Misaki got back up and then pulled his pants up. Misaki put on his t-shirt and then continued escaping. Misaki finally made it to the gate. Misaki had to find a way to get passed. Tanaka ran pass Misaki and quickly punched in the code on the keypad upon the post of the gate. The gate opened.

Misaki looked at Tanaka. Tanaka looks back to make eye contact.

"Tanaka-san, Usagi...is he..?" Misaki asked.

"Takahashi-sama..." Tanaka answered. "He's fine, but you need to go for now."

Misaki understood and then prepared to exit the Usami property. However he halted as a large black car blocked him. Kaoruko poked her head out the rear side window.

"Misaki-kun!?," Kaoruko called in familiarity.

"Kaoruko-san!" Misaki answered.

Then Haruhiko opened his rear side door. "Misaki!"

"Haruhiko!" Misaki shouted

Tanaka revealed himself and then exclaimed, "Kaoruko-sama! Haruhiko-sama!"

Usagi crept up from Tanaka. "Misaki..."

"Usagi!" Misaki responded in a surprised voice.

"Onii-chan!" Kaoruko shouted as she came out the car.

"Akihiko!" Haruhiko notices his brother standing behind Tanaka.

"GOD!" Misaki yells out. Misaki runs away from the Usami family and butler.

"MISAKI!," Akihiko, Haruhiko and Kaoruko simultaneously call out.

Misaki continued running. Soon Misaki hears the roar of a large vehicle approaching. Misaki jumps inside a bush hoping to be unseen. A large black car slowly passes the bush.

"Drive slower," Akihiko demands the driver. "He could not have gone far!"

"Will someone tell me what's going on?" Kaoruko asked.

"I will not hesitate to hurt anyone if anything happens to Misaki." Haruhiko states.

"Will the two of you shut the fuck up," Akihiko asked harshly.

"You three are scaring me," the driver nervously stated.

"KEEP DRIVING!" The three worrying Usamis shout.

After the car drove out of sight, Misaki resumed to his fleeing. This time, Misaki ran the opposite direction. Misaki was about to run by the house, however, Tanaka pulled out the driveway in a dark blue car.

"You won't go far on foot, they'll surely return knowing that you can't run far," Tanaka explained. Misaki entered the car in the passenger side and then the car took off.

In the car, Misaki started speaking again. "Usagi saw me get out of his father's bed in only my underwear." Tears shedded from Misaki's eyes. Tanaka took a turn talking. "Takahashi-kun, you'll have to speak to Akihiko-sama some time. Maybe not now, but later."

"What will happen to you," Misaki asked Tanaka. Tanaka stared blankly at traffic light that emitted a red light. "I worked for Fuyuhiko for years, this morning was probably my last."

Misaki looked at Tanaka in pity. Then said to himself, 'Sorry Tanaka, if I never got you in this, you wouldn't be in this situation.'

Back at the Usami residence, Akihiko, Haruhiko and Kaoruko stood outside the car. Akihiko finally spoke to his brother.

"While I was gone, what happened at this house and Misaki?" Akihiko asked. "And where's father?"

Haruhiko stated, "He must be at work today, but I don't what happened here."

"It's been six months," Akihiko said. "SIX MONTHS! Someone should know something! And why was Misaki almost completely nude in our father's bed!?"

"WHAT!?," Haruhiko and Kaoruko asked loudly. The three stood there in utter confusion.

Haruhiko and Kaoruko Usami were standing in a state of shock after hearing such a bewildering question from Akihiko.

"Onii-sama," Kaoruko slowly started speaking. "What did you just say?"

Akihiko repeated his question. "Why is Misaki in my father's bed in his underwear?"

Haruhiko's long eyebrows descended to his eyes. "What are you talking about? Why would Misaki be nude in our father's bed? Are you sure you should be out of the hospital, Akihiko?"

Enraged by Haruhiko's interrogation, Akihiko grabbed Haruhiko by his own loose buttoned shirt collar and then pinned him on the smooth marble wall.

"O-Onii-sama! Stop!" Kaoruko shouted trying to make Akihiko release Haruhiko. "This is not the time!"

Akihiko ignored the young wailing woman and told Haruhiko, "You listen to me. I know what I saw and I am not crazy if that's what you are implying. The last thing I need is for you to get me pissed. I'm already confused by not only what I saw but also what Tanaka did to me."

Haruhiko looked at Akihiko dead in the eyes. "Are you sure, Akihiko?"

Akihiko stared back at Haruhiko. Akihiko took a deep breath and then answered. "Yes."

Akihiko released Haruhiko and Kaoruko calmed down. "Now, where is that Tanaka?" she asked.

"That's what I would like to know," Akihiko acknowledged. "But first, I need to speak to my father."
