Chapter 2! Thank you all for the reviews and story alerts that I've been getting! I get so happy when I see them pop up in my inbox, and it makes me more inspired to write something. ^0^ This chapter is all in Usagi's POV, it's always harder to write for him since the real story is always from Misaki's POV. Also, this is the chapter when note's Usagi starts getting, like I said in the summary. I'll stop talking now and let you read xD
Enjoy.
I don't own Junjou Romantica
But I do own this story.
On with the show.
UMUMUMUMUMUMUMUMUMUM
Usagi's POV
I sighed, taking off my glasses. Finally, finished. Stretching my hands away from the computer, cracking them contently. When I completed the other manuscript for Aikawa, that made me abandon my poor Misaki in the first place, the devil of a women sprouts out of no-where that I had another BL installment that I supposedly 'forgot' about. Honestly, I had no idea what she thinks of me, a machine maybe. I mean I have a life. Misaki… With that name in my head, I glanced up at the clock, 4:00. "Dammit!" I shouted slamming my hands down onto the desk. "I'm late picking him up." I must have been too wrapped up in my writing, how horrible of me! Leaving my love all alone. I picked up my phone and flipped in open, I expected to see at least a couple missed calls, but much to my disappointment, there were none at all. I rang him quickly, but there was no answer. I shut the phone, frustrated. What is this? He usually calls when he gets out, no matter what. My thoughts flashed back to him this morning,
Crossing my arms, I spoke clearly after being rejected "Fine, but I'm picking you up from school today." I watched as he set the chocolates he gave me into the microwave. "No, you can't, I promised my sempai that I would help him out with some clubs after school." I shot him a glare at the mention of that baka-sempai of his. I never knew what he saw in him. He plopped onto the ground to avoid that lasers I was sending him through my eyes. "No, I won't allow it." I would not let that man manipulate my Misaki "I'm an adult, I can do whatever I want, more-over you are not my parent!"
I felt anger inside me well up as I thought of the most likely scenario in my head. That sempai of his, tricked his naïve mind into turning off his cell-phone and taking him off somewhere to prey on his beautiful body. I can imagine him crying out as his fragile body is being taken by someone other than me, Please, Usagi-san, come save me from this awful man! I punched a hole in the closest wall at that thought. In a rush, I grabbed my car keys and cell phone, just in case Misaki calls, telling me his phone just died or that he had a class that went over. Anything, would be better than this small ache that was beginning to form in my heart. Anyone else would say that I'm over-reacting, but I had this feeling that something was off. It could have just been my mind from lack of physical contact with Misaki in the last 24 hours. Whatever the reason was, it didn't stop me from pressing the basement button in the elevator repeatedly, thinking that it would somehow make tired machine work faster. At last, it reached the final floor. I jogged quickly to my car, pressing the button on my keys until I heard the beeping noise of the doors opening. It was once I was directly in front of the red car, that I noticed a yellow sticky note attached to the windshield. This is rather strange, I thought as I tore the note from the glass, The only people who can get down her have to live in the building. Unless than came in without a car. I began to read the note,
Usami-
Taking someone who is beloved away from the loving is a high price. But it's one we are willing to pay. You will search high and low. The people who are close will become enemies. We want to be found, but can you find us?
By the third time I read through it, the shock had fully sunk it. My hand found its way over my mouth, as my breathing became harsher. "Wha-What is this?" I spoke aloud. Was there any chance that this could be a prank? No, no this was way above a normal joke that a kid would pull. Then, an adult? I gasped, "Misaki!" He has to be in trouble, who else could they be talking about. I loved no else more than I loved my Misaki. I shoved the note into my pants pocket and got into the driver's seat. I tried calling him again, but still it went to voice-mail after just a few rings. My mind was whirling with thoughts as I pulled out of the garage and sped off the college. It was the first place I could think of to go to. Someone must have saw him there today. I prayed that he would just be standing at the entrance complaining why I was late picking him up. I would hold him tight it my arms, and he would then gripe about not being able to breathe. Showing him the note, he would say that I was just being the normal over-reacting Usagi-san. I wished so much, that would end up being the case. But by the time I reached the gates of the school, there was only a couple of non-important stragglers hanging about. I ran my hand threw my hair, when I didn't see one short, brown-haired, green-eyed boy. "Shit." I hissed threw my teeth. I parked in a random spot, slamming the door closed. I sped-walked to the front doors, catching a few strange stares from some students. Ignoring them completely, I burst through the doors. And guess who was standing right there, with a stupid smirk plastered on his face. "Oh, hey, there Usami-sensei, what are you doing here?" Misaki's sempai spoke. Just seeing his face made my anger double up in my body. I grabbed him by the collar, slamming him against the nearest wall. My fore-arm pinning his throat back. The smile left his face almost immediately. I Took the note out of my pocket, holding it only a few centimeters away from his face. "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?! WHERE IS MISAKI?!" I shouted right into his ear. I watched as he cringed away. "The hell are you talking about?" He voice was quiet due to the pressure I was enforcing on his wind-pipe. "Of course you know something! You must!" I tried to contain my voice now, as on-lookers started to get suspicious about the enfolding scene in front of them. "No, I don't. I haven't even seen Misaki all day, I thought you would know." He stopped talking as my eyes got huge, I released my grip I held on him, my arms falling to my side. "You do , don't you?" I walked away before I gave him any sort of response. I could hear him calling my name as I continued down the hall. I somehow found my way to the teacher's lounge, after only being there a few times before. I found the person I was looking for reading a book on a recline-able chair. "Hiroki!" I exclaimed, not even noticing that him was in deep thought. "Aghh!" He shrieked, falling backwards with the chair in his moment of shock. "BAKA-AKIHIKO!" I looked down at him, not even realizing what I just caused. "Oh, gomen." Not even bothering to help him up. "Ugh, what was it that you needed to bug me with now?" He spoke as he tried to get his bearings. "Have you see Misaki today?" I spoke rapidly. "Eh, Takahashi-kun? That's funny you ask, actually, me and some other teachers were talking about how he wasn't in any of his classes today. I was going to call you once I got the-" "Why didn't you just call me when he didn't show to his first class?!" I interrupted him. "Well, I just assumed maybe he was sick or something. You know you shouldn't treat that boy as roughly as you do, I mean he is just-" "I DON'T NEED YOU TO LECTURE ME ON HOW TO TREAT MY LOVER, HIROKI! NOW OF ALL TIMES!" He stumbled back and my sudden shouting. "What's going on, Akihiko?" He asked now, with some worry in his voice. I handed him the note, I couldn't talk much anymore. "Ah, are you sure this isn't just some sort of joke?" I watched as his checked the other side of the note. "How can it be? You said yourself, that he hasn't gone to any classes today. He isn't picking up him phone, nor has he called me at all. What else can this lead not just me, but anyone to believe?" I began to pace, my mind was reeling so fast, trying to make some sense of the situation. "I suppose that's correct. I would be worried as well if it was Nowak in Takahashi-kun's place. But, what do you plan on doing? You should call the cops." He said, as he sat back down in his chair. "I know…I know, but I feel like they are just going this think it's only a teenager sewing his wild oats, and that he'll be back by tonight, as for the note, they'll probably blow it off as a prank. No, for now I have to go at this on my own. But if anything happens that you hear about, please call me." I back up at him. "Of course, I'll call you if anything goes on here. I'll give Nowaki the heads up if anything comes up at the hospital." I cringed at his last words. "Akihiko, I doubt anything will come to that. Find him, please be safe though." He smiled at me. "Yes, I'll do that." I gave him a half-smile, that was mostly forced. I still felt this uncertainty. Would I really be able to do this on my own? Yes, I have to, for Misaki. Yet, this feeling continued to hang over me as I made my way back to my car. I gasped, almost falling back onto the cement, at the sight in front of me. Another note, stuck directly to the center of the wind-shield. My eyes hazed over a bit as I reached for it.
Nice try, rabbit. But alas you are wrong. No, we did not bring your love to the most likely place for him to be. We are hurt that you would think so little of us. For the time being, he isn't that far from where you are now standing. Rest assured, we doubt you'll be able to find him. Maybe try looking towards the sky.
The-they are watching me? I indivertibly, glanced around me, only seeing faceless students and teachers, now all getting out of after-school clubs and meetings. It would take forever to try and find some s
suspicious people here. In fact, I probably looked the scariest right now. I thought back to the note, Maybe try looking towards the sky. What could they mean… I thought of all the places I've been with Misaki; restaurants, beach, aquarium, onsen, Ferris-wheel . Ferris-wheel. "That's it!" I threw myself into the car, turning on the engine. "I'm coming, Misaki, I'm coming."
UMUMUMUMUMUMUMUMUMUM
Ooh, cliff-hanger!~ What will happen at the ferris-wheel? Try and guess ^_^' Most of the next chapter, if not all, should be from Misaki's POV. Tell me what you guise think, do you like where the story is going so far? Rate & Review, if you feel the need xD I'll update soon.
Love,
