A/N- okay this story has maybe two or three chapters left so make the most of it….hehehe….I will be making sequel though so hope you'll be waiting for them. Sorry if you don't like the interview that Shu gives the reporter. I'm trying to put comedy in cuz….well most of the next chapter is torture….I mean literally…Shu gets torture and….well….I think you readers deserve a laugh before watching poor Shu go through that.

Chapter 14- Genus in the Newspaper

Shu pov

"Rage?" I asked aloud only to hear a shriek of surprised from said person.

I heard several things at once in the next few moments. The sobbing stopped but it was replayed by the heavy sound of hyperventilation. She didn't speak but her throat let out small, somewhat, painful noises. I felt hands on both sides of my head and slowly one hand trailed up the side of my face. She removed the blindfold and stared into my eyes. Hers were filled with true terror….and sadness.

Rage's hands pulled away swiftly, her voice was even. "I'm so sorry that you've been put in this situation."

Rage backed away slowly and kept her head low to the ground, "It will be okay though…the master might hurt you but….he won't do it much. He doesn't like hurting people he loves."

My eyebrow rose up, "Who?….I know he's Gormagon but who is it?"

She was rather surprised by my bluntness. Guess she suspected that I would be to shock that it was her or perhaps to terrified by that fact that she had said that the master was going to hurt me. I was neither, really. I'll admit that it threw me off for a moment but I wasn't the kind of person to just close up from that. It took some serious shit to do me in. I continued to look her in the eyes hoping that the clear fire in them would be enough to force Rage in submission….but of course that wasn't likely to happen so I really just hopped for the truth. It made me angry when she just gave me cryptic answers.

"The Master? He doesn't like being call Gormagon….no he hates it….but he wears the title proudly….he just….likes being called The Master like all the others."

"I don't care about that! Who the fuck is he!" I screeched, losing my temper.

"He loves being called the Master….even before becoming Gormagon?" she repeated thinking that it was helpful information. "He's like being called Master sense first meeting you. Maybe a bit after or before."

"I don't give a damn! Tell me who the hell he is!"

She tilted her head to the side stiffly and took a deep breath. Only now did I realize that her legs were shaking. She leaned against a nearby wall and slid to the floor soon after. Her eyes darkened as she looked at the closed door across the room carefully. She licked her lips longingly. 'It would be so easy' she thought. 'The room is sound proof.'

She looked back at me and said something just above a whisper, "He doesn't like me saying it….unless I see him in public…he gets angry sometimes when I forget….and then sometimes he doesn't notice it at all…if he hears me….and if it's one of those days that he is acting strangely….I may get hurt."

My own eyes saddened, "Rage?"

"Some days he treats me like I'm his own daughter….like I'm Mimiko's older sister….more so then my own father…..and then others he acts different…and it…it really scares me when it happens."

"Mimiko…that names familiar..but where have I heard it?"

I heard a low creak from across the room but she didn't, "She was born one week ago….At Jirukumaru hospital…her mother is Seguchi Mika and her father….is obviously Seguchi Tohma…"

The door flew open to reveal 'the master'.

Yuki pov

I glared at the man before me with steely eyes. What sort of fucked up joke was he trying to make here? Tohma was one sick manipulative bastard but he'd never do something like this. I continued to glare at him for a while but as the minutes passed I started to lose my nerve. The man's eyes were so sincere and miserable that I knew he was telling the truth. That son of a bitch had taken Shu. Tohma was gonna pay.

My voice stayed relatively calm as I spoke, "Where is he?"

"Why do you think that I know this?"

"Because you saw him leave!"

His eyes narrowed slightly, "But I was injured….I passed out! I definitely had no control over what happened."

"Well you people are suppose to know these things!"

His face took on a reddish tinge, "Well we have no leads. Maybe if there was some particulate on the hilt of the blade then perhaps 'maybe' Hodgins could do something but if we don't even have said knife we can do nothing!"

I stopped for a moment and slowly nodded my head. his hand went to my breast pocket, "Right."

Zack sat there a while as he tried to catch his breath after that out burst. The door slammed opened and the psychologist, I think they called him Sweets, entered the room. He threw a magazine down onto the bed and stared daggers at the boy.

Zack pov

"Sweets? What are you doing here?" I would be lying if I said I had expected him here at any point in time.

"You told me to figure it out my self so I figured it out!" He said in an exited tone. "Page 20!"

I looked down at the familiar magazine and almost laughed. I suppose this was one way to find out how I knew him.

Boy Genius at Hackley's

By. Calice Brown

Six year old boy genius, Shuichi Shindou, was finally tracked down somewhere in the middle of New York after being off the grid for nearly a year. The boy was surprised to find reporters outside his Hackley dorm one Friday night but he quickly adjusted to the idea, gave a brief interview, and introduced his two new friends, Zack Addy and Seguchi Tohma. Zack Uriah Addy, a young eight year old boy from Michigan, when asked how he met the young genius said 'Shu jumped on Tohma….he freaked out, threw him off, and he landed on me….we've been friends ever sense.' When the older boy, age eighteen, was mentioned all attention was turned to him. Needless to say the he was terrified as the cameras swarmed him. After an over zealous cameraman attacked the group they ran off. More information on page 58.

1+1= Shu

By. Richard Nichman

As all of you may know Shuichi Shindou, the youngest child to go PAN school of music, ran off stage last year, after only finishing half of Andante. Many of Shindou's peers had seen the look in his eyes as one of the instructors actually walked over to him, interrupting the piece and whispered something in his ear. No one knows what the man said to him. Had something terrible happened? Was someone hurt? To this day it is still a mystery. Finally this amazing boy was tracked down and after a brief explanation he agreed to give an interview.

Corner three boys outside of a large dorm building: R: Mr. Shindou…..

S: Shuichi.

R: What?

S: My names….It's Shuichi

R: Right….okay…Shuichi….people were….surprised to find you at Hackley….why here?

S: It's New York

R: But 'why' New York?

Looked confused by the question: S: Erm….we….have Broadway?

R: Okay let go with an easier question….Why Hackley in general?

S: Oh! I can answer that. It was the only school in New York that was a boarding school that went through K-12! It just makes things easier if you don't change schools.

R: Ahhhh! I see so then you don't have to leave you friends…speaking of which…who are these fine young men?

S: Chachi and Bob

R: Really?

S: No…..

R:…..

He takes a deep exasperated breath: S: They're my friends….the younger one is Zack A. and then the other one's S. Tohma.

Attention is turned to Zack: R: So tell us a little about yourself! What are some of your hobbies!

Z: I like airplanes…..and forensic science

Brow furrows: R: Anything else?

Z:…..no

S: don't mind him! He's like that with everyone pretty much….well not with me I guess but everyone else.

R: ahhhh…..okay how about we just ask how you two of you met!

Z: On his first day his step mother had dressed him up….he wasn't really happy about it so when someone made a comment about it he just had a fit…. Shu jumped on Tohma….he freaked out, threw him off, and he landed on me….we've been friends ever sense.

Attention turns to the blonde: R: what was the comment?

Wide eyes of fear: T: the….the thing was just to small for him….I think I said something about him looking like an overgrown doll…and his hair was pink so…..I don't know….I just made the comment and we got into a little fight.

Gasp: R: you actually fought with a little kid! Shame on you.

T: He attacked me first! All I did was throw him off….and yeah I guess he ended up landing on Zack…and he never did leave me alone after that.

After saying this all the reporter and cameramen crowded around the poor boy. This did not sit well with him and after having a small panic when a man jumped out from the crowd they ran off. As we speak more about Japan's….no New York's young genius we must make one final comment. As you all may know, if things go on as they have been going, Shu will graduate in only six years. The Dean has said that even now he out ranks most of the older students on his list.

I chuckled lightly as I read it out loud. When I looked up from the articles I saw one superior expression and one of confusion. I actually never knew Sweets could look smug….hmmmm. As I stared at them Yuki's hand reached out and slowly brought back the magazine. His eyes scanned over it a couple times before finally shifting his gaze back to me.

"Is this some kind of joke?"

"I am not one to joke around….tease maybe….but not joke," He eyed me suspiously before handing it back.

"So this means…..?" Was he being dense, looking for confiramtion of his own thoughts, or was he actually confused by this?

"This *point to the open page* means two things…or perhaps three if you want to hear an opinion of mine. One….Shu is most likely smarter then you…and two….Tohma new Shu long before you did."

He blinked a few times as he took in the information, "And…what is the third thing?"

"Your reading comprehion must be terrible if you didn't get the first two from the article," I said smoothly. "You must not be very bright….a 'stupid blonde' perhaps?"

He glared at me and made a move to hit me but the door once again flew open as several others entered the room. His fist came to a halt right in front of my face and I didn't even flinch. My neck craned to see passed the man. I caught sight of Bones, Booth, and Hodgins as they arrived.

"I seem to be getting a lot of visitors today."

"Did we come at a bad time?" Hodgins asked as his eyes looked between us.

"Not at all sit down and join up."

"Alright then…."

They took their seats and it soon led to me explaining a couple gaps that had been left in the case. Now only one hole remained. Where was Shuichi?

Hodgins leaned back in his chair and stared at the ceiling, "I suppose….if we had the weapon we may be able to find him….but it's probably with the police right now….it may take us a couple hours."

A strang smirk appeared on Yuki's face as his hand traveled back to his pocket and slowly withdrew a plactic bag. Within it was a blood stained dagger, "Sometimes….people who work on murder cases…..get distracted and lose things."

A/N- Well that's the chapter. And sorry if you didn't like it….I just wanted to put in some comedy before the terribly disturbing chapter was put up. Review please!
