Sorry I haven't updated recently. School is my reason sigh. Why must they create such an abomination? Anyways thanks for reading and let's continue!
Searching
Creeping carefully, Roy made his way around corners, back pressed against the wall, and eyes darting around nervously before he edged his way into a room expecting bullets to pepper the walls behind him but…nothing came. He was greeted with the sight of an empty desk and no note in sight.
"In all the time I've known her. She's never taken a day off work or even school, even when she was sick. Where'd she go?"
Similarly Shunsui was just bouncing in the office at two expecting to fill his day with annoying his precious Nanao-Chan. He hadn't expected this.
Chaos filled the room, papers were flying everywhere, a spilled inkwell began to spread, and people were running around like scared chickens. Grabbing the nearest person's shoulder Shunsui yelled out,
"What's happening?"
"Ise-San isn't here today!" Yelled the panicked worker. Shunsui froze. Nanao's never missed a day of work. What was happening?
Groggy eyes flickered open to be greeted by nothing but darkness and shadows. Sapphire eyes searched for a sliver of light that might have pierced the monotonous background which surrounded her. Hands strained against tight bindings that imprisoned her and Nanao sat there on the cold concrete her thoughts going back to her past as her eyes went blank.
Similarly a pair of topaz eyes peered out into the darkness that enveloped the whole room. No sound pierced through the unnatural quiet except for her breathing. Nothing was out there. Thinking back she remembered the cloying, sweet smell that had permeated her lungs. An attempt to stand was met by swirling darkness as Riza tripped over the bindings that had avoided her attention.
Meanwhile with the men they were anxiously calling and recalling the familiar phone numbers of their assistants leaving hundreds of messages to ring throughout their empty apartments. Finally they decided to call the other about their problem. Once they knew about the other's problems they became frantic, immediately setting off for the apartment building to valiantly search for them.
They found nothing, no hint of where their much needed assistants were. One found a whining pup, tugging at his sleeve to his food bowl. The sharp tone of a phone broke the eerie silence in both homes. Eyes flicked to the ringing object that diverted them from their task and their hands reached to grasp the phones.
"Hello." Spoke two voices oozing with command as they spoke in perfect synchronization.
"We've got your assistants. Listen carefully if you want them back. You will set 1 million dollars in unmarked bills at the old warehouses at tonight at midnight. We'll see you there." Eerie laughter filled the ears of the men as one slammed the phone down, angered. The other set the phone down in quiet anger.
Both stood and walked out of the empty apartments. They had to save them. Shunsui stopped outside of the apartment building as a thought struck him. Quietly Shunsui whispered smirking,
"He said tell no one. I'll just more than one than." Suddenly, Roy blinded with rage and desperation plowed out of the building. The smirk still on his face Shunsui turned to inform him of the newest development Shunsui had thought of.
Boisterous laughter filled the neighborhood as neighbors looked on, disapproving of the seemingly crazy men standing at the door of the apartment building.
Riza woke from her collapse as Nanao shook herself from her journey through her past. By now pale, weak light came from a single bulb hanging above the two. Looking across to each other Nanao spoke her voice hoarse,
"Where are we?" Riza opened her mouth to answer but instead a cold voice echoed between them,
"You don't need to know that but, relax you'll be out of here soon…when your bosses pay up." The last part barely distinguishable but they heard it nonetheless. The sudden explosion was equivalent to that of a volcano as the girls yelled out and struggled in the bindings.
A self satisfying smirk spread across the man's face. Lifting his foot, he was about to enter the room when a black haired man with an eye patch, oddly enough entered the room. The man spoke out to the struggling girls,
"Your bosses have agreed to pay the one million dollars. Even if they do, they'll never get to see you again." A smirk played on his lips as he saw the barely masked fear and anger that flared in their eyes.
Striding out, the two kidnappers walked out of the room as the girls tried in vain to break the ropes that kept them from killing the two men. Once the footsteps had faded, Riza felt cold glass touch her fingertips as Nanao twisted around to greet her with her bared eyes.
Riza gave a slight nod and grasped the sharp shard of glass which had came from Nanao's shattered glasses. The jagged edge began to make its way through the thick rope and as it cut, it began to open their road to freedom.
With the boys however, though they had already notified the police their thoughts were running wild as scenario after scenario passed through their over exuberant imaginations. Their faces grew more and more horrified as their imaginations grew more and more ridiculous. Soon they had reached the point of running around crazily, muttering under their breath.
Two loud slaps sounded as two men stood before the frantically pacing idiots. One had long, white hair, and pale skin while the other had glasses, short dark hair, and smile on his face despite the dire event that had taken place. The two stunned men stood there staring at their friends as the dark haired man collapsed snickering at Roy's stunned expression while the white haired man simply arched an eyebrow at Shunsui.
"Jyuu-" Whined Shunsui as he rubbed his stinging cheek.
"What? MAES! What did you do that for!" Roy pouted, as his cheek throbbed.
"You acting like a desperate fool of course!" Maes replied, clearly enjoying this.
"You as well Shun." Replied Jyuushirou Ukitake, his white hair moving slightly in the cool breeze.
"Go and find the girl instead of moping here!" Spoke the two men simultaneously. With these words the two men turned a new glint of determination in their eyes as they rushed off stupidly in a random direction. A sigh escaped from parted lips as Ukitake groaned, "They'll need a lot of help and luck. They don't even know where to begin!"
