Chapter 11

Give Me Novocaine

"We're On."

The words rang through Kouji's head as he entered the building. Kamiya had gone around to the back, Yamato through the front. His responsibility was to take the side door. Unfortunately, there had been no side door, and he had crawled through a window. They didn't have flashlights; that made it easier to spot them. He walked through the dark hallway that stretched for a distance in front of him, letting his head flick slightly to each side. For some reason, the gun that lay in his pocket was more of a comfort than a burden. He knew that with that there, he could at least protect Takuya instead of sitting there and letting someone take him.

Kouji made his way to the end of this hall, nearly running into the wall at the end, and turned to the right. His head was filled with thoughts. What if they were too late? What if they had hurt him? Hell, of course they had hurt him. No one kidnaps anyone for the hell of it. And these creeps were working for his dad! What if they had given him back? Kouji's head hung down.

It's all my fault...I don't care what Kamiya says. I could have...Should have done something. I should have tried harder. If only I had done something...he thought to himself.

"Hey!" a voice yelled.

Kouji's head snapped up.

Shit...FUCK! he thought, grabbing his gun.

He'd been spotted. This was not good. Really, really not good. Quickly, he cocked the gun and aimed, firing. He heard the click. He heard the whooshing sound, quiet, but still there. He heard the man groan as the bullet entered. He watched as the man's eyes grew wide and he began to fall back. Kouji's own eyes grew wide as he watched some of the blood from the man's stomach fly into the air as the man fell. Then he heard the thick, dead thud as the man hit the ground. The man groaned and reached for something in his pocket. Kouji gulped and let his gaze turn more serious as he walked forward, stopping in front of the near dead man's body. He was going to call for help.

"I don't think so." Kouji said sternly.

He aimed the gun again and watched as the man's eyes grew wide.

"No...please don't...Who the fuck are you? Why are you gonna do this? Please...Please no..." the man begged.

Kouji narrowed his eyes, then shut them tight and fired once more. He heard a sickening crack sound as the bullet entered, then a light thud as the man's head hit the ground. He opened his eyes and looked at the hefty man. The man's cold, lifeless eyes stared back at him. Kouji felt something on his shoes and looked down. He realized that the blood was now spilling out of the man's body and rolling across the floor. He grimaced and stepped back. He walked forward a few steps after turning away, then looked back at the man. His gaze softened.

"Sorry..." he muttered, then walked away. He was on a mission, and he wouldn't be stopped.

♠♣♥♦

Yamato watched as Kamiya and Kouji rounded separate sides of the building. He walked in through the front door. Or at least, he tried to. The door was locked tightly. He turned the door handle this way and that, trying to open it. Then, he ran at it to try and break it open.

"Stop!" Kaoru said.

Yamato halted and looked back at him.

"What the fuck?" Yamato questioned of the other boy.

"They'll hear us, numb-nuts. What are you thinking? Honestly, how fucking dumb can you be?" Kaoru asked.

"Fine, these guns have silencers...I'll shoot the fucking thing off." Yamato said, aiming his gun.

"Won't do any good either, moron." Kaoru said.

"And just why not?" Yamato questioned.

"The locks are all computerized. All that would do is set off an alarm. Jesus Christ...it's a good thing we're working together or we'd get caught so fast..." Kaoru said.

"Look, I didn't want to work with you." Yamato said.

"Nor I, you." Kaoru responded. "But it's a damn good thing we are."

Yamato rolled his eyes. "So how do you propose we go about getting in through this?" he asked angrily.

"Watch this." Kaoru said, hooking a small device up to the door handle. "And in three...two...one..."

There was a click and the door swung open. Kaoru smirked back at Yamato and sweeped his hand to the side, gesturing for entry.

"Ladies first." He said to Yamato.

"After you then." Yamato said with the same cold smirk.

Kaoru rolled his eyes and grabbed the device as he walked in the door. Yamato walked in and shut the door behind him. Unfortunately, it didn't shut quietly. There was a rather loud slam and Yamato cringed. Suddenly, he heard a click and he whirled around, only to find a gun pointed at his forehead. There was an exasperated sigh from the other end of the gun.

"Goddammit, Yamato. Don't make that much noise!" he said, putting the gun back into his pocket.

"Sorry, Jesus." Yamato said, slightly loud. There was an echo.

"Shhttt...Would you fucking shut up?" Kaoru whispered. "If you can't be fucking quiet, go wait in the car with Kouichi!"

"No...I'll be fine, thanks." Yamato whispered angrily back.

He shoved his way past Kaoru and kept walking, storming off.

"C'mon. Let's go." Yamato said.

Kaoru turned and walked behind him.

♠♣♥♦

Kamiya trudged around to the back of the building. She had her gun ready in her hands as she ducked around each corner. When she reached the back, she glanced up.

"Shit." She muttered, realizing that the only way in was going to be through a window about twenty feet off the ground.

She sighed and tucked the gun into her holster, pulling her belt off. She wrapped one end around her hand and held on tightly as she swung the end with the buckle up toward the open window. It caught and she secured it tightly, making sure it would hold her. Then, she rested her foot steadily on the side of the wall and positioned herself, before carefully backflipping into the window. She pulled the belt back on and clipped it before trudging down the corridor quickly, but quietly. She slid up against the wall and sighed. Why had she let him get found? How could she have missed that? She ran a hand over her forehead. The least she could do was find him now. Pushing herself up off the wall, she kept walking.

♠♣♥♦

"This way. Follow me...and be quiet!"

Taichi led Takuya down the dark hallway. Takuya couldn't believe he was doing this. He couldn't believe he had let Taichi talk him into this. He still had faith in his friends, yes...so why was he going to leave with Taichi? He didn't understand it himself. All he knew was that they were leaving.

"I'm glad you decided to come with me, Takuya." Taichi said quietly.

Takuya nodded. Was he glad? He didn't know.

"Like I said earlier, I doubt they're coming. But I can get you out of here fast." He said.

"I think they're coming. I just think they're a little bit slower than I suspected." Takuya said. "We'll meet them outside, right?"

"Maybe." Taichi said. "But if not...are you ready to come with me? Live with me for a while?"

Takuya stopped. Live with Taichi? Yea, sure. Away from Kouji? Leaving Kouji behind? No. Definitely not. He couldn't just leave Kouji. He couldn't just forget him. He loved him too much for that.

"No..." he said quietly.

Taichi was a few paces ahead of him, apparently not realizing he had stopped. But now he stopped as well and turned to face Takuya.

"What?" he asked.

Takuya picked up his head to face Taichi, looking straight in his eyes.

"No...I can't. I can't just leave everything behind." Takuya said.

"What could be so important that you'd stay here? That you'd get raped and maybe ki...oh." Taichi said.

"Oh what?" Takuya asked.

"You have someone, don't you?" Taichi asked him.

"Someone?" Takuya asked.

"Yea...someone you care about...someone you love." Taichi said, resting his hands on Takuya's shoulders.

Takuya looked away, averting his gaze to the best of his abilities. He didn't want Taichi to see his blush. He simply nodded. Taichi sighed.

"Forget it...Forget him!" Taichi said slightly loud. "Love is a fucking lie...He'll fucking abandon you at the drop of a hat for someone else just because they're better. Or because he thinks they're better, when in reality you treat him like a fucking king and he couldn't find anyone better in the world than you."

"You're wrong!" Takuya said, backing away and slapping Taichi's hands away. "It's not a lie! It's real! And Kouji fucking loves me! He'd never just abandon me!"

"Oh yea?" Taichi asked, a smirk on his face. "Then why isn't he here? If he loved you so much, why did he let you get taken in the first place?"

Takuya stopped, eyes wide. Taichi knew he'd struck a nerve. He'd found something sensitive.

"Why didn't he stop them from taking you? They say that if you're desperate enough for something the adrenaline rush can make you succeed...so why didn't his even kick in?" Taichi asked. He stepped closer, resting his hand under Takuya's chin and forcing the boy to look at him. "Could it be that maybe he doesn't love you as much as you think?"

Takuya tried to respond, but no sound would come out. What if he was right?

♠♣♥♦

Kamiya sighed as she continued her path down the hallway. She heard quiet voices, both of which sounded familiar. Without thinking, she muttered out loud as she neared the voices.

"It's probably Yamato."

She drew close to the voices, listening to them grow louder until she rounded the corner. Her eyes grew wide at the scene before her. There was Takuya, standing up against the wall, his eyes wide as another man loomed in front of him. The man turned around and Kamiya gasped as the realization of who it was dawned on her.

"Taichi..."

♠♣♥♦

Yamato and Kaoru were walking down the main hall, passing rooms on either side that were cluttered, some rat infested. Yamato was scowling and Kaoru didn't look very happy himself. Suddenly, there was a click on the earpiece. He turned to Kaoru.

"My earpiece..." he said.

"What about it?" Kaoru snapped.

"There was a click." Yamato said.

"That means someone is trying to get in contact with you, dolt. Listen for what they have to say." Kaoru grumbled out.

Yamato nodded and began to listen intently. He heard Kamiya's gasp before a name was uttered.

"Taichi..."

Yamato stopped dead in his tracks, his gun dropping to the ground, his eyes wide. Kaoru winced at the loud noise as the gun clattered to the ground.

"What are you thinking, you moron!" Kaoru hissed.

"Taichi." He muttered.

"Huh? What are you muttering about?" Kaoru asked, leaning closer.

"Taichi...he...he's here! Oh my god..." Yamato said, his eyes still wide.

There was static as voices began to filter through the earpiece.

"Kamiya?" a male voice...Taichi.

"Yea...Taichi, what the hell are you doing here? Don't tell me you're actually involved with these creeps!" Kamiya said worriedly.

"Heh...You have no idea what a broken heart can cause, Kamiya." He said back to her.

"No..." Yamato whispered. "No! I can't have..."

"Can't have what?" Kaoru said. "What the hell is going on? What are you listening to?"

Yamato was frozen. Had he really broken Taichi's heart that severely? He hadn't intended to. A lot had happened and a lot had changed. It wasn't his fault; he hadn't meant to. He had to find them. Yamato turned to face Kaoru.

"Can we tell where they are?" he asked the boy hurriedly.

"Can we tell where who are? Goddamn, quit talking in riddles!" Kaoru said.

"Kamiya, can we tell where she is?" he asked.

"Yea...give me your earpiece..." Kaoru said.

Yamato reluctantly took it out of his ear and handed it to Kaoru, who put it in a device he had pulled from his pocket. The thing whirred to life, and a glowing image appeared; it was a blueprint of the whole facility. There was a small red dot on the map that was flashing. Kaoru took the earpiece out and handed it back to Yamato.

"Okay, found her. Follow me." He said, and began to lead the way.

♠♣♥♦

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Kamiya asked Taichi, glaring angrily at him.

"You took him from me. You stole him!" Taichi said, glaring.

"Who are you talking about Taichi? I didn't steal anyone!" she said.

"Yamato! Who the fuck do you think!" Taichi cried out. "I loved him, more than you ever could! And you went and took him from me!"

"What?" Kamiya asked. "Taichi, you're being ridiculous. He left you, yea...but I didn't take him! He didn't leave you for me, I swear!"

"Bullshit!" Taichi screamed.

Takuya had been watching the whole thing with wide eyes. So it was no surprise when he saw the black object in Taichi's hand first. Now, when Taichi raised it to almost meet Kamiya, Takuya lunged forward and knocked his hand, causing the gun to go sprawling at their feet. Taichi grabbed the boy and held his body close to his own, Takuya's back pressed close to his chest. Taichi's arm held Takuya's neck firmly in place. Takuya's eyes grew even wider at this.

"Admit it..." Taichi growled.

"Admit what?" Kamiya asked, her voice shaking.

"That you took him from me!" Taichi cried out.

"No! Why should I admit to something I didn't do?" Kamiya said.

"Heh...Kamiya...You should know me well enough by now to know that that's not the only gun I have on me." Taichi said in a low voice, a smirk plastered onto his face as he pulled another gun from his pocket with his free arm.

Kamiya's eyes grew wider still, as did Takuya's, as the boy felt cold metal press against his temple.

"Admit it, Kamiya. Admit it, and beg for my forgiveness. And give him back to me." Taichi said, shaking, a crazy look on his face.

"A-and if I don't?" Kamiya asked, her voice uneasy.

Taichi cocked the gun and chuckled a bit. "What do you think?"

Kamiya stood stark still, staring at the two of them. Takuya was shaking with fear, Taichi with his own insanity.

"You have three seconds." Taichi said, pushing it harder to Takuya's head. "What are you going to do?"

Kamiya shook. What was she going to do? She didn't want to lose Yamato...but she couldn't lose Takuya either. She was stuck.

"3..." Taichi muttered.

Kamiya clenched her eyes shut tightly.

"2..."

Takuya noticed that in Taichi's shaking, his grip was looser. He positioned himself.

"1!" Taichi screamed.

It all happened in a matter of seconds.

Takuya pushed forward.

Taichi noticed, and fired.

BAM!

His eyes grew wide.

Blood flew into the air.

Takuya fell forward.

Kamiya screamed.

And it was over.
