Hello everyone as always... Sorry for the delayed update... I had exams going on... As usual, I'm back with a new chapter, though its a small one... Anyway, the OVA's release date is coming near... so as usual, we'll be waiting for that...

Into the darkness...

"We've terrible news, Yuu... we're ruined."

It took sometime for him to adjust with what he had heard, "Ruined?" he asked, a clear resemblance of a shock was present in his voice... "... Why?"

Shichino didn't utter another word, he just handed Yuu a note...

Yuu had to unfold it...

"To 'The one-eyed grim reaper'...

I am not going to waste any of our precious time and so, am going to say it straight, if you want your girlfriend back, come to the central park tomorrow, all alone, during midday... any threats, or creativity will lead to a disaster to this girl's life...

Signature:

(None of your business)"

Yuu had read it aloud and it made Ayumi cry even more... her older sister was taken away from her... it was too much...

Yuu did not speak... he had to calculate the odds and soon... Nao was kidnapped? How come? "What were you all doing?" was the first question Yuu could think of, and was the same one that he asked... "How come she's gone from under your nose?"

He did ask this, but deep in his heart, he already knew the answer... it was not actually their fault... Just after his appearance, he had got an observation... although the situation seemed bad... both his brother and Takajo were not present there... Yuu could not help it, he had to read their minds...

"We're sorry Yuu," Medoki stepped in the conversation, "but your brother and frie-"

She could not complete her sentence, Yuu did not let her, "I know," he said. "I've read your minds, how are they now?"

Medoki gave a sigh, "They are doing fine now... we anticipated that two people from somewhere with the ability to transform came and changed it your brother and friend to lure Nao out..."

"What are we going to do, Yuu?" was Maedomari. He was quiet till now... but though his shy appearance, he was still worried about the people he called his friends, he was all alone in the world, but he had never had the slightest complain... Shunsuke, Kumagami and the others were enough to keep his happy, but he now..? They had already lost Kumagami. It should have been the end? shouldn't it? Weren't all the tragic things supposed to be over already? Then... what's this?

Yuu did not face them... his face was towards the ground the whole time... but he had to speak... he was brave, he had that ability, he had courage... "There's nothing to do... we have to fall into their wishes..."

'Fall into their wishes?" Maedomari spoke, "Can't we do something else?"

"I can't think of anything else..." Yuu admitted. He did think of a lot of things, but all of them were not enough... he had only one choice and that was to try his luck by fighting against those unknown men, on his own...

"But that's too absurd, Yuu," a voice trailed through the air, it was his brother's voice...

Shunsuke Otosaka, along with Jojiro Takajo, had regained his consciousness...

He could not remain calm and had to get up. It was already foolish of him to be drawn to a plan by those unknown people... they had knocked him out and had taken his appearance, it was a shame to him... He should have seen through their move, he should have just called for help when he had a chance...

Yuu was taken aback by the sudden appearance of his brother, "But that's the only way we have got, until and unless you can provide us with something else..." He defended his idea, not that he wanted to do that, but he had no choice...

"I do." Shunsuke announced, "As long as as they hold the per strings, we have to abide by their wishes, but that doesn't mean that we can, not play dirty."

His brother's confident voice gave Yuu an ease, even after so many days, his brother was still someone he could rely on, he really meant it... his brother was one in a million...

"What's the plan, Shunsuke?" Medoki asked, they had to execute the plan as soon as possible.

"Listen... we'll do this..." Shunsuke started... they all surrounded him...

...

Yuu was waiting in the Central Park, it was early from the time mentioned in the letter, but he could not care less for the kidnapped girl... He had already made her so sad by forgetting about her, he was not letting her get hurt anymore...

His mind trailed towards the discussions, all the plans they had made last night... not was the time to act, one mistake and it was going to ruin the whole strategy. It was up to him now, to use his powers wisely was the only thing he could do now...

Yuu looked at his watch, it was about time now... He closed his eyes...

Get mentally prepared now... Yuu... For the worst...

He would save her at all-

Yuu was disturbed in the middle of the vow he was going to take, disturbed by a powerful sound. The sound that was almost like one of a helicopter's propeller, with its blades spinning to its full speed. This helicopter did not land. It kept on circling above Yuu.

Yuu observed, it was one of the tactics he had learned, he was supposed to observe every move of his enemy... but it was of no use... The blackness of the helicopter was the only thing that Yuu could see... Were this really the people he was going to fight with..?

'Beep' , Yuu's alarm rang, it was exactly twelve in the noon, it was the exact time...

It was then, Yuu felt it...

It was a sharp pain...

"Commander we got him... I repeat... we got Yuu Otosaka..."

He was in... darkness...

To Be Continued...

To Guest: Thanks for trying to make me remember that Yuu can't sleep... but let me tell you where you are wrong. First of all, it was during the time when Yuu was traveling around the world, that incident happened, (also it was in episode 13 not episode 12) and he was suffering from a tremendous mental pressure back then... and that was the time when he still had his memories...

Later, we see that he had recovered, maybe not from amnesia, but all that frustration and mental illness... Furthermore, he never said that he wouldn't ever sleep, his goal was to not sleep, just to plunder all the abilities as fast as possible... Please watch the episode 13 once again in case of any doubt...

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not insulting you... I'm just explaining a fact... will be waiting for your next review...

Anyway, the people who thought that Nao was kidnapped... You all were right! ...and for the people who came up with some other theory, its alright, it is only important to try... you must've had many creative ideas, so thanks for that...

Thanks again... will be waiting for reviews...
