Chapter 17- I slapped Eisuke & The fool I was

Serena's POV.

There no words exchanged between us, nor was there a single sound to break the tension between us besides the silent sounds of breathing, that did not include mine as I sat there in shock to what seemed like forever. I stayed still as a sculpture, frozen in my body, cold in my heart, breathless in my lungs, voiceless in my voice, but not sightless. Not when HE was right there in front of me. He took a small cautious step towards me and volcano erupted in my stomach as the adrenaline ran fresh in my red volcanic blood.

He stood still for another moment then took another small step towards me even slower than before. Then another.. and another.. and another.. before I knew it he was closer than I would ever have possibly allowed him to be. He took another daring step towards me and finally the adrenaline finally choose to chose between fight or flight, and to my surprise I choice neither. Because when he took another step towards me and now at the very near foot of the bed he stood. I didn't think twice as I smacked him with my pillow and before he could process what was happening I threw my blanket over his head and pushed him into Luke as I darted out of the room and up the stairs to the front door. I pulled the door open as hard and as fast as I could and shut it twice as hard. I leaped over the front door steps and ran across the large semi dry lawn only to be pushed down into it by an unexpected force.

"Gotcha" An unknown and unexpected voice said to me as I struggled beneath them.

"AHHH! Samejima! BE CAREFUL WITH THE PRINCESS!" Another voice yelled and my eyes widened in horror as I recognized the voice and struggled even harder when I was pulled up into a standing position. I looked to my left and saw that horrifying blond haired dude running toward us with what seemed like tears in his eyes.

"Stop struggling!" The man behind me growled as he held me tighter and started to drag me to the unknown. I stomped as hard as I could on his toe and elbowed him in the stomach, causing him to double over and let me go momentary. That was all I needed for me to break out of his cage and run down and around the street trying to get away from the lunatic yelling princess behind me. I ran and looked back to see those stormy grey eyes along with its owner angrily stepping out of the house with Luke following closely behind him and the puppy close behind me with his arm reached out about to grasp my arm.

I made a sharp turn right and around the few cars standing next to the pavement causing him to run into one and causing me to fall on my butt. When one of the car doors opened and a familiar man dress in a black suit with a smirk on his face came out and grasped my arm in a death hold grip and pulled me toward him. In my panic, before the man ensnared his left arm around me, I back handed his right cheek then elbowed his chin in equal force, if not more. In his shock, he loosened his grip as I heard wild laughter and coughing as smoke filled out of the car.

I wasted no time in roughly pulling my arm away as I shuffled my feet away from him before turning around and started running again. Jumping over fences and climbing trees until I found a good one to hide in. I peeked from the left side of the body of the tree and ducked every time I saw the smallest movement coming toward or near the direction that I was in. I finally sank down onto the branch, leaned against the surprisingly huge oak tree and let out a breath and closed my eyes in uncontrollable relief.

"Hello pretty lady! Miss me!" I heard a cheery voice say as my eyes snapped open the familiar man with that same gentle smile on his face and his familiar red suit as the sun almost reflected on his silver colored tie.

"Baba!" I hissed as I looked at him in shock and before I had the chance to retreat, I was in his grasp.

"Awww! I missed you too pretty lady." he said as he smiled down at me. I just lay in his arms before struggling to get out once again.

"Baba! Let. Me. GO!" I whisper shouted at him as I struggled endlessly in his arms and all the while he just smiled and descended down the tree like I was never there in the first place.

"Sorry pretty lady, it would break my heart to let you." He smile at me easily as he started walking back the way I came and before long the man I slapped, was glaring at the dead up ground laughing blond boy. Then all of a sudden stormy gray eyes came up to us and roughly grabbed me from Baba and threw me over his shoulder and started walking to his car, COMPETENTLY ignoring my screams, shouts, punches, and scratches from my strong nails in his back. He just went ahead and threw me into the trunk and closed the door and went into the car and started to drive away, JUST as we heard started to hear the police sirens in the distance which resulted in me struggling even harder and screaming even harder for help than never before.

But of course that was no help because the police sirens stayed in the distance and not to mention his reckless driving that threw me around in the trunk. And not very long we finally stopped and I started pounding against the trunk again, only for it to open up and meet face to face with the most deadly face you could imagine. He pulled me over his shoulder and closed the trunk and opened the back door and threw me inside. He climbed in after me and shut the door and pulled me against him so my back was to his chest and my wrists in his hand as he used his right hand and mouth to pull on the duct tape and start wrapping it around my wrists. Then he used a smaller piece for my mouth and wrapped more duck tapped around my arms and feet.

He then pulled me into the front seat and wrapped me in duct tape again this time around me and the seat and made sure the mouth piece was secure on my mouth, To be sure he grabbed two larger pieces and made a X on where my mouth would be. When he was satisfied with his work he moved back to driver's seat only for me to start using my feet to start kicking as much as I could. I heard him let out a sigh of frustration but a small laugh if not my imagination was heard. Only for him to grab the duck type and type my feet to the car seat as much as he could. And finally it was to the point where I could only move a few fingers, toes, and head we finally drove off.

My muffled screams continued till we reached a humongous building ignoring the fact that the windows were completely tinted and no help would come. I still continued to fight and I could tell that he was starting to get annoyed but was still patient with me. We finally reached the deep parking area where there was no cars besides 'ours' and 2 other next to each other. The man parked the car a little way's from them as one of them opened the door and the man with a nice rosy red mark stormed toward me. And if I wasn't screaming before, I hella was now.

The man came to my door side and ripped open the door just as I started to cry as I struggled uselessly in the car seat as he stood tall before my cowering form. He looked at my form tied mercilessly to the seat, he smirked at me evilly and started to open the compartment and pull out a pocket knife. By now I was screaming a crying for help and for him to stop but it was muffled by the type on my mouth. He started to bring the knife near me when we both heard the click of a gun.

We both look to the right to see stormy eyes had a gun pointed at red face, which raised his hands in defense claiming to only wanting cut the duck type and give me a little scare. Stormy eyes said nothing as red face moved aside, he grabbed the knife from his hands and started to cut certain duck type which tied me to the seat. But as soon as he release my feet the kicking game began as I started to kick sideways trying to reach him but he stood on the side in the safety of the car.

When he was done, he grabbed me and once again threw me on his shoulder and started walking away once again completely ignoring my pounding on his back as he just stepped in the elevator followed by the rest. Including Baba who protested a little on how he "handles a lady" and such. Every one of them ignored my protests until finally we heard a ding and the elevator doors opened and everyone went inside the familiar room. But stormy eye owner took me upstairs and away from everyone's trailing eyes into another familiar room that I woke up in and ran away from. He tossed me on the bed, locked the door and waited for what I do not know. But I do know that I'm back and back I will be, for there was no escaping this man's grasp. But that doesn't mean that I won't keep trying and neither will he.

We both just stayed in our current positions starring at each other no words coming out of neither my sealed mouth nor his silent mouth. Finally he moved toward me, slowly reaching out to touch my cheek and I was captivated by his endless stormy eyes. I didn't move but he did, he gently pulled the duck types off my mouth slowly and then reluctantly moved away. I didn't know what to do, how to respond to this, what to say, should I even say something? Should I start my screaming fit again? I seriously have no idea, my emotions are in a turmoil and before I knew it tears were steaming down my face. I tried to wipe them away but I could not for my hands were bound.

I looked down only for my face to be grasped by gentle hands that wiped the tears away. I looked up to see him starring back at me in sorrow filled eyes.

"I'm sorry...that I had to drag you though all this Rena..." His voice stern but filled with warmth came out in nothing other than a whisper that made shivers go through my spine.

"What.. What did you call me?" No... this couldn't be him could it? Only one person would call me Rena... "Sor?" I asked uncertain and was responded with a look of shock.

"Serena... did you just.. you remembered?!" He asked me frantically grasping my upper arms urgently and searched my eyes for an answer desperately.

"Don't tell me you're that kid that almost got ran over by a punk truck driver Soryu." I told, more like asked him in a statement as tears filled my eyes in utter disbelief. He just smiled and chucked as he drew me in for an embrace. And before I knew it, I broke down crying, or I should say bawling my eyes out for being a complete idiot. The man who stole my heart was in front of me all this time and I ran away from him, just like how I ran away from my feelings so I would not feel the pain of being heart broken and above. Yes I love him... but does he love me? Or am I just a friend?
