Chapter Four

I awoke the next morning to a much more frozen feeling than I expected. I rolled over to feel an empty spot where Yuki was last night. I jerked up, hearing the heart monitor beeping as loudly as I felt my heart beating. What could have happened to him? I took a couple deep breathes. He could be going to get tea or smoking outside. Just because he's not here doesn't necessarily mean that something happened to him. I sat up as the doctor walked in. "How are you feeling, Shuichi?" he asked.

"Better. Have you seen Yuki?"

"The blond with you? I haven't seen him since he helped you to this room."

I sighed. "Are you sure? He was with me last night, but this morning he was gone."

"He could have left before I came in to check on you earlier. He might have gotten hungry. Speaking of which are you hungry?"

"No, but is it okay if I leave soon?"

"That was the other good news I was coming to tell you. The antidote worked, and you should be fine, but if you feel nauseated or dizzy, I want you right back here, understand?"

"Sure. Thanks, doc," I said, quickly getting up and heading for the door. If he was smoking, he would be right outside. I quickly ran down the stairs, taking as many at a time as possible for my small legs. I hope that he didn't go up to my room before I could catch him outside. The sunlight hurt my eyes at first as I squinted them to look around for his blond hair. I bit down on my lip, a nervous habit I was trying to break. I couldn't find him anywhere.

"Yuki?" I shouted for the first couple minutes, but got no response from him. I waited there for a hour just incase he did happen to go back in before I could meet him outside. I still had a sinking feeling though. Maybe he went home for something. I started walking the long distance through the parking lot whenever I realized that his black car was still here. Now I really didn't have a good feeling.

I ran back into the hospital and stopped at the receptionist. "Have you seen a tall blond with a grumpy attitude?"

"Oh, hon, that describes lots of people. If you tell me his name, I could try to page him."

"Yuki Eiri."

"Oh the famous romance author. I saw him much earlier leaving with two people. I could still page him incase I didn't see him coming back in."

"That's very kind of you. Thank you." I paced back and forth, waiting for Yuki to answer the page or perhaps walk back through those doors.

"There's a payphone on the other side of that door if you want to try to call him," the young woman said again, fixing her glasses on her face.

"Thank you." I ran towards the phone and dialed his cellphone number. Unfortunately, it went right to his voice mail. Something didn't seem right! I tried the house phone, and that too only rang and rang until the answering machine picked up. At that moment fear struck my heart, and I couldn't remember any other numbers plus I was running out of money to keep dialing these numbers. Who were these people, and why would Yuki leave without his car? Why wouldn't he leave me a message?

I left the hospital with a message at the desk, informing Yuki that I went home incase it was nothing. I hope it was nothing. I took the fastest train back to his apartment and let myself in with the spare key he gave me. The inside looked just like we left it whenever he took me to the hospital. The towels were dry so I knew he didn't come home to take a shower. Nothing seemed to be missing or out of place. I reached over for the phone sitting on it's charger and speed dialed Mika's number. Thankfully, she picked up on the first ring. "Mika! Have you seen Yuki?"

"I was hoping you were him. I wanted to know when he was going to take this damn kid off my hands. You know I don't mind kids, but she hasn't stopped crying since you both left."

"The hospital said he left with two guys, but he didn't take his car."

"That's not like him. He's known to disappear, but he wouldn't leave his car in a public area."

"I'm worried."

"As am I," I heard her sigh. "Do you want to come over my house?"

"I told the hospital that if they see him to tell him I will be out home."

"Well stay there. I'll be over in a few minutes."

"Mika, you…" before I could say more she hung the phone up on me. I sighed and sat down on the couch still holding the phone. What am I suppose to do? The phone rang, and my body jumped.

"Yuki?"

"Try again," a cold voice responded.

"Who is this?"

"Shut up. You'll do as I say. Bring the child and yourself back to your lover's car tonight at six. No one else is to know of this or to be with you. Do that and maybe you'll hear his voice again." The phone went dead as it slipped my fingers.

Not again. Oh please not again. It's only been a year! I never asked for this baby. Don't tell me that this baby is vital to someone! Or this baby is some dark secret plan. I just wanted to live my life with Yuki and no other problems. I knew that being famous was a problem, but if it's going to be like this every year, I don't want to be famous. I don't want to worry about Yuki all the time, but somewhere deep down inside of me I knew that something happened to Yuki whenever I woke up, and he was gone. I glanced over at the clock and sighed.
