I left Lelouch's room and walked into mine, falling onto my bed and sighing loudly into my pillow. If it wasn't one thing, it was another. There was no alone time with Lelouch, and if there was- something went wrong. I didn't have to fix anything because when Schneizel walked in, that was it for me...no more excitement. I could only imagine what Lelouch and his brother were discussing right now- I was most likely the main topic and- knowing Lelouch- he was denying everything his brother asked with a sarcastic remark. Little did I know- I was more right than I thought.

--- ---

"What's going on between you two?" Schneizel asked me as I sat fiddling with a chess piece.

"I don't know what you're talking about, brother."

He grimaced, "Don't be so nonchalant, you know what I'm talking about."

"Hm? Oh, that Suzaku is a normal knight and isn't a filthy Japanese? That I treat him like a person and he does everything in his power to protect me? Though, I can say...there hasn't been much to protect me from. Now, brother," I stood up and wrapped my arms around his neck, "Go play with your knight...and I can get back to playing with mine." I smirked and shoved away from him as a crack of thunder sounded in the distance.

"Lelou-"

"-Sh." I stopped at the door with my back to him, holding one finger in the air. "One- give me one reason that I shouldn't keep him around the way that I do."

"He's Japanese, he's just out to harm-"

"-No. Not good enough. Thank you Schneizel, for your concern. But if you're going to keep Kanon Maldini around for your strange interests and private matters- I suggest you stay out of my business and I'll stay out of yours." I glanced over my shoulder with a penetrative look on my face, seeing Kanon blush and turn his face to the side.

Schneizel unhappily backed down and folded his arms. "Touché younger brother...touché..."

I laughed silently to myself and left. It was quite obvious to anyone that hung around Schneizel for long enough that he had a thing for- or, with- Kanon. But I can say this- no one every really saw how Schneizel felt for Kanon. If he was just a sex toy for him, or if there was deeper meaning behind it like there was for Suzaku and me. It was just something that was never spoken of- I suppose that would be a decent reason for backing down from an argument.

I walked back to my room and closed the door behind me. I wanted Suzaku to come back to my room but I was sure that soon enough I'd be interrupted by Rolo and Nunnally again due to the oncoming storm. I heard another crack of thunder and counted in my head- "One- two- three- four- five- six..." the storm was close, if not on top of us.

When a clash of lightning lit up the sky, I looked outside and thought I saw something move. Of course my first reaction was to consider that I was being paranoid. But naturally- as any human would have- there was that little twinge in the back of my head that something was wrong. I reached for the phone and found that it was dead. "Great..."

"Suzaku?" I called out into the hall.

"Yes, your highness?" he opened the door and smiled.

"The phones are dead."

"Oh, I'll have someone check on that right away your highness."

I went to say something just as some thunder shook the house- knocking the power out. "What the hell? There's no reason that the power should be going out every time that we have a storm."

"Your highness, please- relax while I go find a flashlight for you."

"Thank you." I smiled in the dark and felt my way back to my bed. I sat for a minute and remembered that I had a small candle and some matches on my bookshelf. As I felt my way around on the shelf I grabbed a cold glass jar and found the small book of matches. "Aha!" I smiled and struck a match and lit the candle. "There..."

I sat the candle on my stand and heard the door open behind me. "Oh, Suzaku. That was fast. Did you find a flashlight alright?" I turned around and saw a figure standing in the shadows, dressed in all black. "You're...not Suzaku..." I backed myself up against the bookcase as the figure stepped closer. "What do you want...?" I demanded, glancing around for something that I could defend myself with.

"You..." I saw the smirk from the man who had his face hidden under a hooded jacket. His teeth shined yellow in the dim candle light.

I tried to run but was caught around the waist and held against the hooded man. As I went to scream a rag was placed up to my nose and mouth and there was no way that I couldn't breathe in the sweet-smelling fumes of whatever it was soaked in.

"Suzaku..." I felt my eyes roll back into my head and my world fade into black.

--- ---

"Lelouch, I couldn't get a hold of a flashlight but I did find some oil lamps...They let off a lot of light so that should be good." I looked around the room and didn't see my prince. "Lulu?" I looked on the floor and saw a candle knocked over and a bit of wax dripped into a small cooled off pool.

Something was wrong- Lelouch never left his room in a state like this. I felt a cool breeze from my right and turned seeing that the window was opened. "Lelouch..."

I ran from the room and found some guards. "Where is Prince Lelouch?!"

"Is he not in his room? You are his knight, no?"

"I went to get a flashlight for him when the power went out and when I got back his room was messed up and his window was opened. Did he come through here or not?" I frowned.

"No, I didn't see him."

"Shit!" I ran back to his room and hopped through the window hoping that I could find something leading to where he might have gone. The wind picked up and blew my hair around as I looked around the small garden in a panic. My heard was racing and I my hands began to shake. "Lelouch, Lelouch, Lelouch, Lelouch..." I could only think one thing and that was him. The wind blew again and I got hit in the face with a small white rag. I inhaled slightly- it smelled almost sweet and was damp. "Chloroform..." I frowned and gripped it tight in my hand. "Idiot, if someone really wanted to get away with this...he shouldn't have left so much evidence behind..."

--- ---

It was dark- my wrists and ankles were heavy. Where ever I was smelled musty and was freezing cold.

I turned toward the voice I heard. "Ah- you're awake."

"Who the hell do you think you are?! Release me at once!"

"I'm afraid I can't do that my sweet prince. You see, you are my most prized possession- now that I have you- I will never let you go..." I felt his cool hand brush my hair behind my ear.

"You...you sick bastard! I will not stand for this!" I struggled but the chains that I was tied down with would only let me move so far.

"Calm down my prince, you don't want to wear out that beautiful body of yours." I could feel his cold smirk. "I've had my eyes on you for quite some time now, several years in fact. You're- so beautiful...wonderful features, perfect body, gorgeous hair...And, those eyes-" he ran his finger across the blindfold that I was wearing. "So- exotic..."

I was speechless- I had obtained a stalker and didn't even notice. But even so, I tried to hold my composure and remain calm. "I have to use the bathroom..."

"Bathroom? Oh! Yes my prince!" he sounded cheery to obey my simple demands. He unhooked my left wrist, and re-hooked it followed by my other wrist and ankles. I could tell that he had planned this out very well. I had short cuffs for the bed- longer ones that would allow me to walk to the bathroom. The fact that he had to unhook them one at a time and re-hook them didn't necessarily mean that he was the smartest in the world- an idiot could figure that out- but he had thought out all of this.

"May I ask a question?" I stood up and had him lead me to the bathroom.

"Yes! Of course! Anything!" he was obviously over enthusiastic about my conversing with him.

"Now, I'm assuming- you are the one that stole the floor plans for my home, correct? You've thought all of this out. I must give you credit."

"Oh! Your highness!" he sounded as if he were about to cry. "Thank you! I worship the ground you walk on! I'm sorry, I'll remove your blindfold when you can be trusted more so that we may connect on a deeper, more personal level."

Once I was done using the bathroom and washing my hands with the available soap, I was taken back to the bed and tied down once again. The handcuffs were too tight, the mattress was lumpy and I was freezing. I tried to keep my mouth shut and not complain about anything- the last thing I wanted was for this psychopath to have a reason to kill me. One thing I honestly wanted to see was this mans face- if I knew who the person was I could figure a way out of this and report him. If I didn't know him though, I'm sure a good description would would. How hard could it be to find my stalker? If he's had his eyes on me for so long there would be some sort of video evidence at a public event of this man. He would be easy to point out. My stomach growled and I sat up- at least I could do that much.

"Hello?" I called out realizing that I was left alone. "Oh!" I smiled to myself and chuckled a bit. I could sit up and was left alone! "Stupid..." I could only reach my arms up to around my waist while sitting up so I slouched back down onto the bed. I wiggled so that my arms were stretched up toward my head. "Still can't reach..." I tried leaning my head down to my shoulder left shoulder to hook the blindfold onto my thumb. Once I had succeeded at that, I quickly yanked myself free of the blindfold.

The room was obviously a cement basement. I was located in the middle of the room and there was one small window towards the ceiling. On the right side of the room was a set of wooden stairs that lead up to a door that was open slightly. The bathroom was to my left next to the small window and the only light in the room was coming from there.

"My prince I've brought you some- how did you get out of that?!" he dropped whatever he was holding and it smashed at the bottom of the stairs. I gazed at his features- he had greasy dark hair that waved past his eyes- his eyebrows were large and almost connected in the middle- he seemed to be around forty years old. He honestly looked like a serial killer that you would see advertized in the wanted section on a television program like 'Unsolved Mysteries' or something.

"You're not very organized with this. More so than most, but less than what I would have done." I smirked and looked at the floor where he had dropped the dish of food. "Was it honestly that much of a shock? You have 'had your eyes' on me for how many years? You should know that I'm smarter than that."

"Oh, you are very smart! I know that, but I suppose I didn't think this through too much...just how to get you out of that building and into this one." he walked down and opened a door under the stairs and removed a mop to clean up the mess. "I know you like things neat, I've seen your room and your study."

Okay...Now I was getting more freaked out.

"That boy...your knight- he's...more than a friend?"

"I don't see where that's any business of yours..."

"Your life is my business! Don't tell me what is and isn't my business!" he grabbed at my arms and held me down.

"Stop it! You're hurting me!"

"You think I care?! You're mine." he ran his fingers down my face, my neck, my chest and stopped at my stomach. "I can use you, abuse you, make you mine- if I want...I'll be the one to take you out of this world. We can be together! Forever Lelouch!" he dug his nails into my stomach, causing me to wince. "Now...I'll go make you a romantic dinner." I watched him walk back upstairs and close the door.

I needed to get out of there. I pulled hard on the chains with the thought that I could break them from the headboard. I pulled harder and heard a crack. My wrist burned from the strain I was putting on it but I pulled again anyway and ripped the end of the chain out of the wood. The screw popped out and landed on the floor with a clang. I held my breath and listened but heard no change upstairs. I reached over quickly and pulled hard with both hands on the chain that held my right arm in place- again, it cracked out of the headboard. My ankles were simple, the screws weren't tight and I could easily undo them.

"What are you doing?!" the man came back and stormed down the stairs.

"Get away!"

"No! You're mine!" he threw a dish of hot noodles at me that smashed against the wall behind me. "No dinner for you! You've been bad!"

"This isn't funny! Knock it off!" I got off the bed and tried to run up the stairs but was grabbed by the semi-long chains that were still around my ankles. I fell and was dragged down the steps. "Stop! Let me go!" I tried to get back up but felt a sting in my side, then my stomach, over and over. He was kicking me. "S-stop..." the pain was intense, he was strong. Once the wind got knocked out of me I gave up fighting and curled up. "J-just stop...tie me back to the bed...just stop..." I could heard that my voice was weak.

"Oh no, I can't do that...You've disobeyed my wishes, Lelouch." I felt him drag me down the rest of the stairs by the chains and across the cold cement floor of the basement. "I tried to keep you comfortable- is a prince not suppose to sleep in a nice warm bed? When a prince misbehaves though, he is taken out of his nice warm bed..." he took the chains that were still on me and hooked them to the wall. I hadn't noticed that there were hooks on the wall with padlocks- I sure did now... "You'll stay here now...You didn't like my bed for you- so now, you have the floor." he left again and closed the door at the top of the stairs- locking it behind him.

"Suzaku..." I began to cry quietly and curled up into a ball as small as I could.

"It's been over forty hours! We have to alert the authorities and news stations!"

"No, we must keep this quiet. Besides, we are the authorities- and what would they think of the royal family and all of its workers if they knew that the eleventh prince was missing?"

"That's not the point! We need everyone humanly possible to look for him!"

"I agree!"

"What's one loss to the family anyway? In his life time, unless all of his older brothers died, he wouldn't even be a consideration to take the place of his brother- and there is still that young one, Rolo."

I smacked my fist on the table and stood up, "Shut up! All of you! This is no way to be talking about Prince Lelouch- he is a very important person and something has to be done...You can't just leave him with this maniac!"

"And how do you propose we find the prince, Kururugi? When the power was knocked out, so were the cameras. There were no fingerprints on anything, no hair fibers, no fabric fibers, and footprints were washed away in the rain. The only thing you could produce was a rag! What do you suppose we do with a rag?"

"How many people in the Kyoto and Shinjuku region know how to make a good dose of chloroform that isn't lethal or harmful to a person?"

"How do you know it was made? What if the person didn't just buy it? You can get a hold of anything- even a recipe online to make the stuff."

"A nonlethal dose? Honestly, to know the ratio of what to add so that it wont kill someone or cause harm to their being- you would have had to work somewhere that chloroform was produced."

"You've done a lot of thinking in the past forty hours, Kururugi. But do you seriously think you can track down everyone within the area that has worked with a company that produced such things?"

"Yes- of course I've done a lot of thinking...Whoever this is- isn't as smart as he thinks he is. The person obviously has lost a job working for something run by the royal family...How else would he know how to get a hold of blueprints for the home that Lelou-Prince Lelouch lives in? What company mass produces chemicals for its own personal work?" they all stared at me with confused looks. "The scientific research team...Camelot. Chloroform is used as a solvent, which- last I knew- we used over there. Someone that worked there must have had a, thing, for the prince."

"Good deduction, Kururugi. Since it was you who lost my brother in the first place, I suppose you will be the one to go recover him? Find where he is, check into what you have considered. But may I suggest- before you do so- get some sleep? You look like hell." Prince Schneizel was standing in the doorway with a cold look upon his face.

I bowed at the waist. "Yes, your highness..." I felt inadequate as a knight for Lelouch. It was my complete and utter duty to recover him from where ever he was located. The group of solders and other authorities dismissed leaving Prince Schneizel and myself alone.

"Kururugi- if my brother isn't brought back in one piece, I will personally execute you."

I bowed again. "I understand, your highness. You have my full and absolute permission to execute me if he isn't alive. There would be no point for me to exist any further if he wasn't in my life..."

"I don't know how long we have, so please- get some rest." he left me standing there alone with a lot more to think about...

--- ---

Hey! Uhm, I tried hard with this one :( I really did...

Is it okay? Did all of that make sense with the whole chloroform thing? It's used in labs and stuff...I tried to think of a way to have it narrowed down to like..one person? Suzaku is smart- obviously- and if he was trying to think "what would Lelouch do?" then I'm pretty sure he could have figured that out... (took longer than it would have for Lulu though...)

PLEASE tell me what you think!!!

Another note: DON'T WORRY! There WILL be some lemon in this...eventually, I'm trying to make this more of like a story than just a yaoi? But- I plan on writing a few more oneshots soon...

Thank you all :)
