A/N: Ok so I had this chapter all typed out and ready to update but I lost the little thingy I saved it on so I had to redo this, so if there are any discrepancies between some of the things in this chapter and all the other chapters sorry about that but I will fix them at a later date in time. So again sorry about the late update and sorry about any discrepancies you find. Now remember please read and REVIEW.
After the doctor left, see ran for his life, Naozumi was looking at Iason like he was about the puke, not surprising because Iason was looking like he wanted to rip the head off of the next person who came through his door.
He was terrified, if he could only be like Riki for once in his life, in fact Riki was yelling at Iason right now.
"YOU SON OF A BITCH, WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THE HELL IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN THEY FIND OUT, ALL THE FUCKING WORK WE HAVE DONE TO BRING THEM DOWN AND YOU GO AND SCREW IT UP BECAUSE YOU THOUGH WE DIDN'T NEED TO USE PROTECTION. YOU BAS-"
"Riki I would like for you to be quite this cannot be good for the baby." yes ever the calm thinker Iason was on the outside calm and collected while on the inside he was boiling with worry. Riki had a very valid point. All they had been working on was going down the drain. With this thought, he turned and in a moment let his mask slip, unfortunately, he turned to Naozumi's side of the room and what he was showing on his face would prove to be too much for Naozumi.
Naozumi was currently watching Iason to make sure he was all right, he hadn't told anybody this but he could feel emotions and the emotions coming from the other two occupants' in the room was confusing him, he could feel worry and a small bit of hope, that didn't confuse him though, what confused him was that the most prominent emotion that he could fee was rage, if there was hope then why was there rage. Maybe the hope was hope that their relationship would work out and that they wouldn't need him any longer, after all they were going to have a child together, he thought, never mind about the one he was carrying they didn't need him any longer, so that must mean they were mad that he was intruding on their relationship.
He was so caught up in his assumptions conveniently forgetting that not even two weeks ago that they had declared their love and that he was the third part of their triad, soul mates, and that they would never leave him.
His emotions were going haywire and he wasn't thinking straight, which is why the next words out of Riki's were taken wrong and destroyed what little hope that Naozumi had of what he was thinking not being true.
"This is your doing isn't it Naozumi you did this, well not you but that green light that saved us, this is because of that isn't it."
Iason being the person that he is saw the moment that Naozumi's fragile trust shattered. However not knowing what was going to happen he let some of his mask slip and started to speak in a panicked tone.
"Naozumi he didn't mean it that way, he meant that you blessed us with this miracle, he wasn't saying that you did anything wrong it's just your fault that you ended up like this." very un Iason like he knew so he should have known that what he said was not true because Iason was never say something like that, but after so much testing, training, different changes, then finding out not only was he and Riki pregnant but he was the cause of it was too much for him and all he heard was that yes it was his fault. That's why the next action taken was not of his choice, seeing as his brain had shut down in order to protect itself.
This is where his green light kicked in, and the last thing that Naozumi saw Iason and Riki's panic stricken faces before he felt like he was being squeezed through a straw and he blacked out.
Iason Mink never overreacted, not in any situation, not when he was about to die, or not when Riki came back and was also about to die, no he never over reacted, so when he watched the third part of his triad disappear with a small pop, he knew he had to get home soon if he wanted to keep his cool.
Hoping against hope that by some miracle that Naozumi appeared at their home he grabbed a shocked Riki and pulled him toward his waiting limo.
"He left, he just left, how could he leave us, Iason how could he?"
Riki's quite voice broke his concentration and he quickly had to regain his composer before he completely lost it.
"Riki right now I don't have any answers, we will be going home and checking if he is there, then if not then I will have Jupiter activate the tracking chip we had implanted when they were fixing him up." his mask back in place Iason singled the driver and they were off.
Naozumi was tired, not as tired as he was when he first showed up in this strange place he didn't know anything about, but close to it, first he woke up in a barren wasteland surrounded by beautiful shiny rocks but close to nothing else then he remembers that Iason and Riki blamed him for the unplanned pregnancy.
Breaking down and crying he found himself drying his tears half an hour later and taking a better look around. Still seeing no structure or plant life he move to his feet and made his way to a small hill he spotted a little hill 50 feet from where he woke up at. Hoping that he would get a better view from the top he made his way there as quickly as his tired body would move.
When he reached the top of the hill he realized that it wasn't a hill it was the side of what could only be described as a whole. It looked like someone or something had crashed hear but the crashed object was long gone and the weather, well what little it got had worn away of the gouge left in the landscape and created what was now a large gorge in the middle of what seemed a dessert.
It was lucky for him because as he scouted out the large gorge he noticed that closer to the bottom of it was a large amount of water, and telling from the trees growing around the edge up to about 1/2 a mile below where he was standing the tree edge ended. So for about two miles to the middle of the lake just from the side he was standing on was an abundance of trees. The trees were tall and about 10 feet around and 50 feet tall, the leaves were a bright red color and he could see a bright blue and pink color occasionally peeking through the prominent red.
Looking down from his perch he noticed a small path that meandered through the massive trees and deciding that it lead to the water he started forward with purpose.
He knew that Iason and Riki would eventually find him, he didn't know when or how but he knew they were looking for him right this minute; however, he would not make it easy for them. After what happened at the hospital he knew that even if they did love them that they were hiding something from him, he could feel that that was something that was completely unacceptable.
If they wanted him back they would have to deal with each other then come find him, then they would have to have a little discussion about secrets, he might not know if he himself was keeping anything from them but he knew that if he really did remember anything that they would be the first to know.
After about two hours of walking down the trail he finally reached somewhat even ground, and looked around for somewhere to rest. Spotting a small creek through the trees he made his way over and checked the area to make sure no animals were around, even though after two hours he hadn't spotted any wildlife to begin with so he was pretty sure that they were none here. Couple that with the fact that there was an abundance of fruit like trees and berries and all of them was heavy with fruit and the ground was littered with the over ripened fruit.
Leaning down to sniff at the crystal clear water watched as the green light slipped into the water and obviously finding it fine it dissipated. Taking that as the all clear it was meant to be he cupped his hands and took a long draw from the cool fresh water.
He was not really surprised that the water from the stream was probably the best on this entire planet, again not surprising seeing as the other water was run through a process and had additives put into it to keep people from dying off due to pollution.
Leaning against a one of the large trees he rested his head on his knees and took a couple of deep breaths. Deciding he really needed to keep moving and trying to come up with a plan for when he reached the lake. He pretty much knew that he could take care of himself for at least a little while. He could put together a small shelter and seeing as this was the middle of the dessert he didn't really have to worry about the weather.
Now food was another story all together, seeing as there were no birds he didn't know which fruit or berry was safe to eat. He would have to wait until he got to the lake to see if there were any fish type animals in the water, and like he observed earlier he didn't really see any other type of animal while walking. Although that could have been because animal's in general were skittish so he wouldn't be surprised to see that once they got used to him being around then they would be showing themselves more often.
Maneuvering himself to a standing position once again he closed his eyes and pictured where the lake was in his mind, glancing at the trail he noticed it turned and headed back up for a little before he lost it through the massive trees.
Thinking that since he knew where the lake was and he didn't really notice any difference in the tops of the trees length wise to signal any cliff of any kind that he would cut through the trees to reach the lake. Remembering that in the general direction he was standing from the top of the cliff he climbed down was a about a 30 feet beach of grass and some black looking sand surrounding the lake if he followed the creek toward the lake he would reach it in not time and he could set up a shelter and get some food before dark.
Deciding this was the best course of action he started on his way.
When Iason and Riki got back to the loft they immediately called for Daryl, knowing he had Naozumi's tracker in hand from the call they made in the car.
Ripping the tracker out of the furniture's hands Iason punched the code and waited with baited breath for the signal to come up.
However he hope was dashed when the word error popped across the screen.
Launching the device across the room and hearing the satisfying crunch as it shattered Iason quickly made his way to his office.
Grabbing the hollow vid he quickly contacted Jupiter.
When her face popped onto the screen he started to ask if she could get ahold of Naozumi through her tracker, but was brought up short when she shook her head.
"No nothing, it seems that his trackers are experiencing some type of interference, however since this world is old there are quite a few place that have those type of problem."
Riki fell to his knees and covered his face with his hands, this was all his fault if he hadn't made what he was saying sound like he was blaming Naozumi, however he knew blaming himself wouldn't bring Naozumi back. Getting to his feet he glanced to Iason and Jupiter having their conversation and walked up to Iason and hugged him.
Iason was surprised when Riki hugged him, sliding his hands along Riki's arms he turned and embrased him, knowing he was feeling guilty.
"Jupiter how many areas are there where you would experience this type of interference?" Iason quickly asked.
"There are 49 of these type of places, but seeing as your pets are high priority we can quickly cut that number to less than half by tonight, I already have teams dispatched to 20 different areas right now, they should be there shortly; however, some of those areas could take up to a day to search, they are as big as the city, a lot more dangerous and the plant life residing in these areas are no walk in the park. One area is bigger than this city and the trees are not even from this planet. The meteor that hit that spot was part of another planet that was destroyed, its plants adapted and grew larger then we have ever seen, the metal from the planets core was plentiful seeing as humanity hadn't discovered this place before it was destroyed. The unrefined material blocks any and all types of signals, however any time we have gone in and try to discover the area all teams are whipped out. So that is one place that will have to put on hold for now. Hopefully for all our sakes he isn't there." Jupiters soft voice brough dread to their hears before they let the link slip.
