Chapter 3:

"Ikki, wait. Cool down." Said Mikan who got her breath back and was worried over Ikki, she didn't like the cold look in his eyes. "I have to save her." He said determined, "Ikki, you can't it's too dangerous. You'll die!" She said while she grabbed his arm. "Then you shouldn't have told me." He said angry, he tore himself loose, "I'm gonna save her, and no one is going to stop me." He said angry. "Agito!" said Ikki, Akito changed the side of his eye patch, "Yeah I know, I gotta call the gang?" said Agito smiling, showing his big fangs, "Yeah." Said Ikki. Ikki changed in his Kogarasumaru outfit and was about to leave, Agito was still calling everyone. "Ikki is there no way to stop you?" said Mikan hopless, "Nope!" he said smiling. "Promise me, you'll not die." She said with tears in her eyes, "I promise." He said while he hugged her. Mikan reacted shocked, she knew he was trying to calm her down and cheer her up. "Then do you know how much time you have left?" said Mikan suddenly but with a rare shadow over her face, "No." said Ikki shocked "Time?" he asked. "1 hour. Before they kill her." Said Mikan, "THEY'RE GOING TO KILL HER!" said Ikki, "If you're not in time." Said Mikan sad. "Where is it?" he asked angry, Mikan knew he was angry because she hid that fact from him. "Go to the Yokohama building in Kanagawa, they'll be waiting there for you. "I HAVE TO GO TO THE OTHER SIDE OF TOKYO IN 55 MINUTES?" shouted Ikki, "That's why there's no way you can get there in time." Said Mikan. "I can use the wind… So don't worry! I'll save her! I promise!" said Ikki, he putted his hand on her shoulder and left after that on his AT's through the balcony, "Ikki… Thank you…" said Mikan when he left she fell on her knees and started to cry.

On the roof of the Yokohama sky building the second highest building in Japan, stood 5 people with a wounded girl in one of their arms, in the rain. Sora, Nike, Simca, Nue and Orca, the 5 kings of Genesis,and the girl in Sora's arms was Ringo. Sora looked down on her, "Such a pity, I'll have to kill such a beauty…" said Sora with a big evil grin. Her eyes became big and her body started to shiver, not by the rain, it was because she was scared. Maybe she was also cold, because she wore nothing else that her pajama. "Are you cold girl?" asked Sora who felt she began to shiver, "Or is it… because you're scared?" he asked demonic. Ringo's eyes became even bigger than before, "So you're scared." Whispered Sora in her right ear. "Hahaha! Shall we make your premonition real? Scaredy cat?" said Sora like a cold snake that was able to wring himself out of every situation. "Wait sora, you'll have to wait 20 more minutes." Said Simca dirty, "Ohh dirty girl… I like that side of you." Said Nike happy. "Shut up, Nike." Said Simca annoyed, "This is boring." Said Orca, "Yeah…" confirmed Nue, "Then let me show you, Thorn Queen, what we're about to do with you when your boyfriend comes too late." Said Sora demonic. "Boyfriend?" she asked careful, "Ofcorse, I'm talking about the little Storm King." Said Sora when he putted his thumb and fore finger holding under her chin and turned her head, and put his face close to her, "Ikki isn't my boyfriend." Denied Ringo "we're only childhood friends." She said a bit angry, "But you want more." Said Nike smiling evil. "Eh? I never said that." Said Ringo while she started to blush, "Your face is saying different things, kid." Said Sora while he looked down on her. "Then let me show you what happens when he comes too late." Said Sora, he walked towards the edge of the building and stood there. Sora smirked when he looked down, Ringo looked down into the depth and then looked back at Sora, she had never felt this scared before. It was obvious for that if Ikki came too late, they would let her fall from this height. Sora jumped in the air with Ringo in his arms, "You're a smart girl, you probably know what happens when you fall from this height." He said smiling, he was enjoying this till the last moment. Ringo looked away, she was scared, "So I'll give to a little experience of it…" said Sora laughing. Ringo's eyes became big, and a few moments later the arms that were holding onto her, disappeared. Ringo yelled the lungs out of her life when she started to fell down, after a few seconds she stopped yelling and closed her eyes and winced. "SORA!" said Nike angry, "I know, I know." He said he dived down and caught her."Can't hurt her yet." He said smooth. "that's right." Said Simca when she softly stroked Ringo's face, "you were scared weren't you?" she asked dirty inher own way of talking. "You've got 12 minutes before it happens again." Said Sora smiling, "And that time we won't catch you." Said Nue to make things worse. Ikki, please hurry. Thought Ringo while she winced again.

All of the Kogarasumaru members had met up in front of Ikki's house, where Agito and Mikan were. "You're saying he went first, alone?" Said Kazu angry at Agito, "Cool down!" said Agito angry while he showed his shadow; the shark. Kazu was shocked and everyone calmed down a bit. "I'm sorry, it's just…" said Kazu down, "Is he trying to kill himself?" asked Onigiri who was trembling of anger. "I don't know…" said Buccha serious, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for involving you all…" said Mikan down she grabbed her pants and pinched so hard that her knuckles became white. "Mikan…" said Kazu shocked, "I'm so sorry…" said Mikan soft while she was crying, "I'm so sorry." She said again. "Damn that Ikki, making a girl cry." Said Kazu angry when he stood up, he putted his hand on her shoulder, hoping that it would calm her down. "Don't worry, he won't kill himself, he'll save her. For sure." Said Agito behind her, he was leaning against the wall, looking super serious. Mikans eyes became big. "Thanks." She said soft, "KOGARASUMARU!" started Kazu, "KILL! KILL! KILL" said the rest. "We're going to back him up, so now there's no way he'd die." Said Onigiri resolute. "yeah." Confirmed Buccha. They jumped all of the balcony, to help Ikki, towards the Yokohama sky building.

"10 minutes…" said Nue bored, "Your boyfriend is late." Said Sora annoyed. "He's not my boyfriend." Said Ringo angry, "Getting brutal in a situation like this?" said Nike while he grabbed her chin, "You've got some nerve." He said smiling. Then he slowly leaned back with his right arm, and lashed out at half power. He punched her in her face, on her cheek and jaw. "That's what you get from being brutal in a situation like this. Next time it will be at full power."He said smiling evilly. Ringo putted her hand on her cheek, it hurts like hell. She thought. "9 minutes." Yelled Nue annoyed, "Are you seriously going to yell every time when a minute passed?" said Orca lazy. "I think so." Said Nue who was extremely bored. "Does it hurt? Your cheek I mean." asked Simca smoothly while she licked her lips, Ringo looked weird at her. "It's not very polite to ignore people, 'Ringo'." She said dirty, "it hurts." Said Ringo sad. Please Ikki hurry, she thought and winced. "Please." Whispered Ringo so soft that nobody heard it. "haha, that's a good girl. You're cute you know that, when you're obeying smoothely." Said Simca while she laughed. "Why are you doing this?" asked Ringo softly, "To lure out the Storm King." Said Orca who had joined the conversation. "Why?" she asked scared, "Ah, so you've finally reached the question hour." Said Sora smiling like a snake. "8 Minutes" yelled Nue. "You'll soon know it. Or maybe you'll never be able to find out." Said Nike smiling like a snake, just like Sora.

"Ikki sure is fast." Said Onigiri, 'Ofcorse, wouldn't you go behind limits to save the one you love?" asked Kazu. "Obvious." Said Buccha who felt his adrenaline pumping through his body. "FUCK! Why did they choose a place on the otherside op Tokyo?" said Agito angry, "FUCK!" he said again. "But why did they kidnap Ringo?" Asked Kazu himself trying to find a answer, "Maybe, because Ikki dumped Simca?" answered Agito while he asked it to himself. "Ikki dumped Simca?" said Kazu, "That could be a BIG reason for Genesis, because she is the leader of it!" said Onigiri. "I know. And he probably knows it himself, so that's why he's trying so hard." Said Agito, "But, then why Ringo?" asked Onigiri. "Uhmm…" said Agito, Kazu and Onigiri at the same time while they were thinking hard. "Because Simca knows who he really likes." Said Buccha calm, "Is there anyone besides Simca?" asked Kazu with his how-can-that-be face. "you're right it makes sense." Said Agito with his thinking face, "THEN WHO IS IT?"asked Kazu angry because he felt like he was the only one who didn't know. "INDEED WHO IS IT?" said Onigiri who felt the same, "FUCK! Who's the one who got kidnapped?"Asked Agito pissed. "Ringo." Answered Onigiri and Kazu at the same time in a way of not understanding with what he meant with that. "So slow as ever." Said Buccha smiling, "what do you mean with slow?" said Kazu angry, "Slow with understanding things." Sais Agito to annoy him. "You're indeed slow with understanding things." Said Onigiri serious, "Shut up, you're not understanding either." Said Kazu irritated. "FUCK!" said Agito who tried to go faster but failed and almost ran into a building. "Agito, just tell them who we think it is." Said Buccha calm, "FUCK! Alright! I think it's Ringo." Started Agito. "RINGO?" said Kazu, "What?"said Onigiri, "There's no way right? We've been teasing them with calling them bride and groom, or husband and wife, but they absolutely denied it." Said Onigiri. "But if you think about it, I've never seen Ikki like this before and when Ikki is together with her he makes the biggest smile I have ever seen him making." Said Kazu serious. "Now you're saying it… He's also always trying to help her and save her…" said Onigiri thinking, "And after they had that AT battle we was gloomy as he never was before." Said Kazu. "See? That's why he's dying to save her." said Buccha, "FUCK! And also the reason why we have to hurry." Said Agito confident.

"4 minutes." Said Nue annoyed, "Nue, could you please make yourself sound happier or better, shut yourself up?" asked Simca, she got annoyed by his irritating countdown. "Nah, this is more fun than doing nothing." He said bored, "Then do it in your head." Said Simca angry. "Nah." He said, "3 minutes." He said. "You…" said Simca angry. 3 minutes… thought Ringo, she felt at her cheek. It felt all swollen up and hurts like hell. "That looks pretty painful." Said Sora mean. "It's all pinch black, looks like a painful bruise." Said Simca, "It's her own fault." Said Nike childish.

3 more minutes… I've gotta hurry! Thought Ikki who tried to go faster but couldn't, "Fuck!" yelled Ikki. "Ringo is in danger, I have to go faster! Faster!" he said to encourage himself, "FASTER…" he said while he grinded his teeth. What if I don't make it in time? He thought sad. Wait! Not good! Think positive! I promised Mikan to get her back ALIVE. He thought determined. "That's right, alive." He said to himself and suddenly began to ride faster, so fast that he could see the wing road. Faster! He thought smiling, he saw Ringo's smiling face. Laughing in the sunlight, with her AT's and teaching him.

"Ikki! Please, be at least a bit more serious when I'm learning you things." said Ringo angry, "why?" asked Ikki, "aren't AT's supposed to be for fun?" he asked dull. "Yes it is, but this move I'm teaching you is dangerous." she said serious, "Geezz.. So stubborn as ever." mumbled Ikki disappointed. Ringo grabbed his right ear, "Would you mind repeating that for me?" she asked in a scary way, "You're stubborn!" he yelled. "Idiot, one wheel 360 is a hard and dangerous move, that's why." Said Ringo angry, "This is what make you stubborn." Said Ikki. "I've had enough of this." Said Ringo angry and walked away, "Ringo? Ringo! Wait!" said Ikki while he ran after her.

He laughed, that was one of the few times he trained tricks with Ringo and that she tried to learn him something, in the end he never learned that trick. Maybe I should ask her to teach it to me again. He thought smiling , he looked at his watch, "FUCK 2 MINUTES!" he shouted shocked. FASTER! He thought, "I HAVE TO SAVE HER!" he yelled. He landed on a roof of a flat and launched himself again, this time much higher and faster.

"Can I touch it? Your cheek?" asked Sora, he bowed all over her, "Can I?" he asked again at Ringo's scared face. "then I'll leave it like that." He said smiling demonic, "You know, I expected you to be heavier." He said while he spaced out, "Just like your big sis. Maybe it's a property of Thorn Queens " He said without looking at Ringo. "2 more minutes." Yelled Nue, "Please, shut up." Said Simca annoyed. "You still like Rika-nee?" Asked Ringo careful, "Maybe." He said smiling like a snake. "If she hadn't chose Kilik, then maybe we would have been together now." He said gentle. Wow, so he has this gentle side too? Thought Ringo, "So is that why you kidnapped her?" she asked more scared, "hmmm? Maybe? It's not the only reason." He said smooth, Ringo felt like a big snake was crawling on her body. She shivered, "Cold?" asked Sora, "Uhn." Said Ringo while she nodded. "That's too bad." Said Sora. "1 Minute!" shouted Nue all over the place. "Well then it seems you boyfriends isn't coming…" started Sora, "Ikki isn't my boyfriend." She said scared. "… Thus well get into positions." He said Evilly and totally ignored Ringo. He walked towards the edge again, towards the direction where Ikki was supposed to come out, "30 seconds." Shouted Nue. There they stood again, at the edge of the building, Ringo looked down, scared. This time he won't catch me again… She thought. "20 seconds!" shouted Nue, "Are you enjoying your last moments?" asked Simca who joined them. Ringo looked scared at her, "Guess not." She said laughing. "10…", "Byebye! Little Thorn Queen." Said Simca while she walked away. "9…" Ringo started to see flashbacks of her pitiful life. "8…" continued Nue, Ringo sighed. "7…", She alooked at everyone, Orca, Nue, Nike, Simca and at last at Sora. "6…" his smiled was disappeared and he looked pretty serious now, "5…" Ringo winced of fear. "4…" She knew that soon those scary but surprisingly strong arms, would disappear, "3…". And that she would fall down and probably hit the ground. "2…", Please Ikki be in time… she though while she grabbed Sora's t-shirt and pinched so hard her knuckles became white. "1…" This is scary… "Times up." Said Nue smiling, he was happy. Something was finally about to happen, Sora jumped off the edge. "Don't worry this will be over soon." He said to calm her down, "You will feel nothing when you hit the ground." He said, his face looked a bit sad. "Uhn." Said Ringo, when she said that she felt that the arms that were holding onto her slowly disappeared and eventually she fell down. Weird… I'm not scared at all… she thought when she slowly saw the ground coming closer.
