Heaven Can Wait
Chapter 4
Disclaimer: I don't own the series Hana Kimi, or any of the characters. All ownership goes to those who do own it. The plot comes from inspiration from FT Island's music video "Heaven: Part 2". I also don't own that band, or the song…or that video. This is just a humble interpretation on my part of throwing the characters from Hana Kimi into the situation in the music video.

Pacing, pacing, and more pacing.
Nakatsu couldn't stay still, not after the news Sano had just spilled. Some guy had kidnapped Mizuki! By now they could be anywhere, Nakatsu wanted to call the cops, everyone wanted to. Yet Sano kept insisting that they leave the cops out of it. "Hey you! You better know what you're talking about leaving the cops out of this!" Nakatsu pointed his finger at his black haired friend who was sitting in a chair, his elbows on his knees and his face in his palms. When Sano didn't reply, Nakatsu looked over at their 'brain' who was great at inputting data and could get out any probable positions of anything. Far better than the American show "Numbers" because their brain was for real where as the guy in 'Numbers' was fake.
Sekime had instantly gone and told the other dorm heads about the kidnapping as soon as Sano had spilled the information and now the dorm heads, a few select members from each dorm and Mizuki's closest friends were all in the cafeteria, circling around the computer that had finally popped up with information. "According to this data…I believe Ashiya is in one of these three Sectors…" The computer then started to print out three papers, each with information on the 'sectors' or areas where Mizuki would be. Grabbing one, Nakatsu quickly said "I'll take this one…Lets go!" he then instantly headed for the doors without waiting for anyone to follow.
Instantly the men broke into groups and each dorm headed for a sector. Nakatsu instantly grabbed Yuujiro from his leash and said "Let's go buddy!" and then rushed into the rain. At his back was dorm leader Nanba Minami, Mizuki's roommate Sano Izumi, and Nakatsu's roommate Taiki Kayashima. With this group, they would most definitely find Mizuki, Nakatsu was sure of it!
The group managed to hi-jack the bus and headed to the sector that happened to be farthest away. Once they got there five minutes later, the small group fanned out leaving Nakatsu, Sano, Kayashima and Yuujiro in one group while the others went in another direction. "Come on Yuujiro! Lead the way!" the dog then barked and started running in no direction in particular. That 'no direction' was good enough for the group of three though, and they followed the dog through an alleyway. While the four ran, Nakatsu couldn't help but beat himself up for not being able to get to Mizuki sooner. The more he beat himself up though, the more he noticed Sano's expression. It almost looked like his so strong friend was just about in tears.
Placing a hand on Sano's shoulders, Nakatsu smiled and said "He will be okay…I know it" Sano's lips then pressed together and then he nodded, yet Nakatsu knew his friend was still unsure. Just then, a whine came from Yuujiro and suddenly Kayashima threw his hands up in his 'aura reading' position and twisting here and there, started walking in the same direction Yuujiro was looking. Sano's face suddenly looked hopeful and the four walked in the direction that seemed to fit the best.
Going down an alleyway, Yuujiro started growling and Sano ran over to a taxi-cab that looked awefully out of place. "This is it…" Sano said and Nakatsu looked towards the building to their right with a glare. "They're going down…" he said and then gave the leash to Yuujiro over to Kayashima. "Hold him…" he said and then crept up to a window that he had to stand on a box to see in through. Once he climbed up on the box, the soccer champ looked in through the window then waved for Sano to get up on the box.
At first, neither could see Mizuki. It just looked like a regular old factory with all sorts of odd machinery in there. Just then though, Sano made a noise and then pointed. Nakatsu had to shift in order to see where Sano was pointing, then he too saw the scene. Mizuki was strapped down to a bed and a man was standing next to him. Mizuki's mouth was gagged by a tie and something inside her mouth. Creating a fist, Nakatsu looked over at Sano, then down at his roommate and the school dog. He couldn't just stand there any longer while that man had the boy who Nakatsu thought he was in love with. "We have to save him!" the exclamation then caused the man to look their way and the two boys instantly ducked down.
"Shhh" Sano said, covering his lips and trying to keep him quiet. Nakatsu nodded and then the two silently climbed down from the boxes. "We need a plan!" He said quietly, yet still with enthusiasm as he punched his fist into his open palm. He then looked at his friends, hoping they would come up with a plan. Sano was then silent as ever and it was actually Kayashima who spoke up. "I have one…"
