______________________________________Chapter 11_______________________________________

It took me an hour to convince Daisuke to stay with Takeshi. I told him that I would be too worried to focus, as would Krad, if no one stayed with him. Daisuke attempted to offer Krad the duty of babysitting but one glare from him and Daisuke quickly shut his mouth. Takeshi was much easier to convince, we just gave him some of his pain medication.

It had been a day since Takeshi was hurt. Krad hadn't left his side at all at the hospital. I'm surprised I could even drag him away to do this; though, I suppose the pure rage that consumed him whenever he thought about the one that held that hurt my brother was enough to get him to want their blood.

Krad watched me from the living room as he made Takeshi comfortable. He was lying on the couch with Daisuke's lap under his feet.

"You don't have to make Daisuke foot rest," Takeshi sighed. "I know he's like my brother-in-law, but I think this is a little too much."

"It's ok, if Krad thinks this will help then I don't mind. Plus we can eat the popcorn easier this way," Daisuke grinned as he put the huge bowl on Takeshi's legs carefully.

"The doctor requested you rest just as you would in the hospital. That means having your feet slightly elevated. As soon as the medicine takes affect you won't mind anyway and this way Daisuke can make sure you don't kick him as you sleep," Krad said softly as he moved the popcorn container off of Takeshi and back onto the end table next to Daisuke. "Do not use him as a table," he growled softly.

Daisuke blushed and nodded mumbling a soft sorry as Krad turned his attention back to Takeshi.

"But Krad I don't-," he began to slur, the medicine finally beginning to work.

"Shhh, stop trying to fight the medicine and just rest," Krad whispered and kissed his forehead. "I'll return by the time you wake."

Takeshi blushed and smiled nodding as his eyes closed and he relaxed into sleep.

Krad turned his gaze to Daisuke. "Please take good care of him."

"And you take good care of Satoshi," he smiled looking at me.

I chuckled softly and moved to him kissing him softly. "You don't have to worry, I'll be safe. You just stay here and have fun watching movies. Dark said he'd be over after his date and dad should be home at eleven. Don't open the doors to strangers and if something happens, call the cops. I told dad to keep an ear out for your call."

Daisuke giggled and whispered, "You sound more like my mother than my boyfriend."

Grinning I whispered, "please, just promise to be safe." I watched him nod and stole a kiss from him again.

Krad cleared his throat. "Can we get going?"

I nodded and moved to follow him out the door taking one look back at Daisuke before leaving.

The train ride to the Milan was much longer this time, almost as if time knew how badly we wanted to be in that bastard's house. Like it was teasing us by making the minutes and miles go by slower than normal. The trees passed us so slowly I swore Daisuke could draw out every detail on them if he was here. I closed my eyes, knowing Krad would tell me when we got to our destination.

As soon as my eyes shut I imagined Daisuke being the one hurt. I could picture Koji breaking into my home, grabbing Daisuke and carving into him with his knife. I could hear Daisuke's screams and my body shook with both anger and fear. How could I save him if I was all the way in Milan?

Krad shook my shoulder in what fel like 5 minutes from the time I closed my eyes. "Come on, this is our stop."

I nodded and followed him off the train, my body still shaking from that dream. Krad watched me as we walked toward the house. I could tell he was slightly worried, but his rage overtook that as he focused again at the task at hand.

We arrived outside my uncle's house once again. I knew he wouldn't be expecting us this time, he would've thought we'd take longer to lick our wounds. Krad looked at me and silently agreed to take the back while I went straight in. We wouldn't let this end like last time, this time we weren't distracted by our worry for our lovers. Sure, I was worried Krad would get hurt but it was different.

Moving to the door I watched as Krad disappeared behind the corner of the house. I knocked on the door. My veins were pumped full of adrenaline and my heart was racing. I heard creaks moving to the front door and gasped as it was thrown open.

"No one's here," Krad growled.

"You checked every room?"

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Krad glared at me.

I knew he was pissed, but I had an idea. "Check all the rooms for any sort of information, I'm going to ask around and see if anyone knows anything."

Krad nodded and vanished back into the house. I knew then that this was going to be a long night.

I moved to the nearest sign of life. The building next door had lights on; it looked like it was another house like my uncle's. I moved to the door and knocked softly. There was shuffling on the other end and I readied myself incase my uncle was hiding out there.

The door creaked open slowly to reveal a dark foyer. I watched as it opened more and an old woman appeared in the shadow. "Who are you," she asked hoarsely.

"I was looking for my uncle, he lives next door. I was supposed to visit him for my school break but he's not there. Did he happen to tell you where he went," I asked politely hoping she wouldn't notice I avoided giving her my name.

"Koji is your uncle? I didn't know his nephew would be so grown. You're Satoshi then?"

I nodded cautiously. "Did he tell you where he was going?"

She smiled. "Please come inside?"

"…I'd really appreciate it if you could just tell me from here where my uncle ran off to."

She smirked at me and her arm shot out grabbing my forearm and pulling me into the house. I tried to fight her off, but her grip was stronger than an old woman's should be.

"I knew you'd come looking for me. Stubborn as always," the woman growled, but it was deeper, like a man's voice.

I gasped as I realized this was not an old woman, this was Koji!
