Yuiko's point of view

I could see that Leo didn't understand why he wasn't allowed to see my selected dress. And I had to stand my ground and even keep the dress at Ichigo's place so that he did not see it. She liked that he wanted to see but she also hated it. She wanted to keep this particular tradition. She loved her dress and every time she came home from a fitting she would beam with happiness. Leo sulked a lot because he wanted it to be more casual. But whatever made me happy he said.

I was walking home from Ichigo's place. His mother was happy her son finally had found himself some love, even if it was with another man. His father. Not so much. He was ok with him being gay, but he did not go well with Ed. He wanted his son to stay in Japan but Ichigo said he wanted to get married to and that they had to be in the US for that to happen. Japan don't allow same sex marriage. And his father knew this. I think his father likes Ed but want to test his feelings for his son.

I walked by the park when something grabbed hold of me and put a cloth over my mouth. I remember myself thinking, not again. And then everything turned black.

I woke up in a large dark gray room with a toilet, a sink, a bed and a door by the toilet. I was on the ground and I was tied up. I looked around again for an escape way but the only way out was the door. It was locked. But as soon as I released the handle a big guy came in and looked down on me.

"Yuiko, I am not going to harm you if you cooperate, all we want is Leo and if we want him, we have to get you first." He said he walked out and came in right way with a folded chair and table. "You won't get away with this. Leo will find me, an when he does you are goner be sorry." I said and he just smiled at me. Another guy came in and he looked mean. And I mean really mean. He actually looked evil. He smiled at me and looked like he enjoyed himself. I moved back on the bed a little and turn to the side. He just laughed and went outside again. I waited for the big guy to say something but he didn't.

"What do you want from Leo?" I asked and he looked at me.

"Money what else?" he asked and looked away.

"Why?" I asked. He looked troubled and bit his thumb.

"I should not tell you, and it is actually my brother in law that thought of this for his sister I me, so I had to do this. You see Leo is the cousin of my wife and brother in law and my daughter is sick. Their grandfather promised my wife that she would inherit some money for the treatment, nut Leo got it all" he said and looked away.

"Why not just ask for the money from Leo?" I said and looked confused.

He just looked at me and shook his head. After a while of silence a tall busty woman walked in and the big guy stood from his chair and took her in his arms. They kissed and greeted each other and then he let go. The big guy then went out and left me and the woman alone.

"Why didn't you just ask Leo for the money? Why kidnap me? I'm sure Leo would love to help you and your daughter, you are his family" I said but I was interrupted by a hard and fast slap in the face. She had tears in her eyes but she said nothing. She looked down on me like I was an insect ready to get smacked.

Then we hear a loud noise and a lot of yelling
