Across the planet, far away from Japan, is Big Apple. Under the night sky you can only see flashing lights coming from the town, and even dough it's an hour away from midnight the town is still full of life. Probably no one is asleep. One chaotic life.
And somewhere in that town, a young man with blond hair hidden under the cap is walking towards one office building. He stood for a second in front of that large building, looked up and smirked while tapping big laptop case that hung over his shoulder. Then he started walking again

Sitting with crossed legs near the edge of the roof of the building he conected his phone with his computer, and then his headphones that he already had in his ears. As he did that he lifted his head and looked at the building in front of him, across the street. Trough windows he could see some offices. Some people were still working, doing their finishing touches on that days work. Trough one specific window he could see the back of one middle-aged man typing something into his computer and then picking up the phone. The man got up and walked to the window as he talked. Kurosaki quickly opened something on his computer and started typing on his keyboard. As soon as he hit enter button he could hear the conversation that was going on less than fifteen meters away from him.

-...so sorry. But I really need to finish this tonight, and I'm waiting for a call. Go to sleep and say goodnight to kids for me okay?

- Lately you have been really busy. I hardly saw you past two weeks.-gentle female voice said sadly. His wife.- Kids miss you too. We manage to see you sometimes in the morning if we wake up early as you, and I see you sometimes late at night if I manage to stay awake.

- Dear don't force yourself. I promise after I'm done with this we will have a vacation, and go to the beach or something.- the man said enthusiastically - This is big thing. We will have a lot of money after this and we will have our family time.

- Sometimes money really doesn't matter- woman sighed- But I trust you. You'll have to have to spend a lot of time with kids when this is done. Bye.

- Bye.- as he said that the line was dead.

Kurosaki sighed as he hit enter again on his laptop thinking about the conversation. Not that it mattered much. It made him think about Teru. Was she lonely now that they were more than two weeks without each other because of this?
Only information he got from the conversation was that the man was working a lot last two weeks, and that the company will get a lot of money. And then there is that call that he's waiting. Only thing Kurosaki wanted for tonight.

And then Kurosaki saw that man picking up phone again, and the blonde once again hit enter.

- He is leaving jail tomorrow for some reason.- the other man's voice said, while Kurosaki's eyes widened slightly. He didn't plan on leaving Teru alone with that guy walking around on the streets. - I think he invested some money so that he can leave earlier. Other than that things are pretty smooth. You found that disk?

- Actually I did- Kurosaki saw middle aged man smile while looking trough the window again.- I'll be meeting that small company holder tomorrow. I told him that story we came up with, how I could invest into that project and bring us more money. So I told him to bring the disk tomorrow at some old bar two streets away from here, and there he will meet with people that boss asigned to take care of him.

"Are they planing to kill someone? Using trained people?" Kurosaki thought, getting angry.
- How am I supposed to take care of fucking specials?- he muttered to himself as he continued to look at the window across the street and listen to the conversation

- We will use that girl that works over there.- he continued - A little money and a bit of lying and that's done. She'll sip him something so that he can pass out, and we'll just take what's ours and go. Simple task.

- Things are going so smooth so far. I'll inform the boss and as soon as he is out we'll come to New York.- other man said with a bored tone -And just so you know I was looking for Kurosaki Tasuku, and found out that he is in New York. And that someone went with him, since he took two plane tickets.

Kurosaki cursed mentaly. If they found them now, everything will go to waste.

- You think he found out about us? You think it's that little girl is with him? The one he went with on that trip.- man that was looking at the passing cars asked.

- Could be. I don't know. But she is his weak spot. Anyways we need to find him and track him. I don't know much but boss told me he is one skillful hacker.- Kurosaki smirked at that, taking it as a compliment.

- Sure thing, I'll try to find him. Soon we'll have that disk and our companies will rule huh? Sounds great doesn't it?

- Yes. Now I need to go. Call me tomorrow.

The conversation had ended once again, and Kurosaki hit enter and started packing.

Back in Japan Teru just finished vacuuming the apartment. She wanted to completely clean the house, since school was starting tomorrow. Today she planned to go to shop for some supplies and some things she needed for school. She was just about to start cleaning the windows when her phone rang from her room. She ran like mad person, smiling all along, tripping over the vacuum cleaner, and almost hitting the couch. When she ran trough the door she jumped across the room to her bed where she grabbed the phone and flipped it open.

- Hello!? – she almost yelled

- Hey Teru, no need to yell.- A very familiar voice was heard along with a laugh that made her heart skip a beat- Did you ran a marathon?

- Well – he stopped for a second to breathe again as she relaxed on the bed – I did ran to get the phone, I knew you were calling. Or I was hoping. I didn't heard a word from you for three days!- she pouted and blushed cutely. She really missed him, and was worried since he didn't call.

- Sorry, but it was kinda crazy out here. I'm calling from the public phone. They might track our phones, so I turned it off.

- Then be carefull please. I need you back home. Alive- she said nostalgicly

- I will, I assure you- he smiled – How is everything going over there? You start school tomorrow right?

- Yeah and It's gonna be weird without you around. Right now I am doing the big cleaning. I think I'll vacuum your apartment later. Then I'll go shopping for some supplies. Oh and Master said hi to you and Riko.

- Say hi to him too. And don't overdo it. No need to vacuum my place really. I hope everything is ok aside from that. No weird people knocking at your door, stalking you?- he asked concerned wich made Teru sigh.

- No, not really- she laughed and then started mockingly - Dough some guy came to me and asked for my number.

- What?- she heard him groan annoyed and in anger.

- Just kidding Tatsuku- she smiled, glad for some reason that he is jelous – No one is around.

- Teru- he sighed – don't make me freak out, and get angry.

- Tatsuku you know I only have you. And trust me no one is around. And did you thought that I would actually give some random guy my number?

- Well no, I know that. But…

- I love you- she interrupted with a serene and genuine voice, with a slight tint of pink on her cheeks.- And miss you.

- Love you too. And miss you. – he replied after a few comfortable seconds of silence. - I have to go now. I can't stay out for too long. With Riko I feel like some problematic highschool gangster who is grounded and locked in his room and has to sneak out trough window just to talk to his girlfriend. - they both laughed at how Riko can be protective about youngers.

- Well that's Riko. Just please tell me that you don't really have to jump from the window. No wait! Tell me nothing. I don't want to know if you really are jumping. But if you are, I hope you go bald for that! - Kurosaki smiled, realising how he missed her famous "Go Bald" line. Then she started talking softly - You have to go back now. I don't want you to risk that much. And you should sleep. Say hi to Riko.

- Don't worry about me. I will say hi to her. And you just concetrate on school.

They said their goodbyes and sudden loneliness crept in to their hearts. Teru looked out her window, sun shining brightly and warming her, while Tatsuku looked up at the stars. Both of them realised how painful is to be parted at this moment, and not being able to hold each other close, both knowing that the other one is safe. Now they could only hope and trust each other that it will be okay.

...

Next morning Teru was almost late for the first day of school. Last night started raining so she couldn't fall asleep. The morning was fresh and sunny, and it looked like it won't rain again. She ran like a mad person, almost forgetting her school bag. Then she almost got hit by a car. Twice. Which made her think about how a certain person would yell at her for being they had lunch time she went to the backyard alone. She knew that she would probably be sad and worried there, only thinking about Kurosaki, but she couldn't help it. She decided that she would come back after school and do some gardening. Her friends asked her where is the blonde janitor, and she told them that he had some business in New York. She didn't lie, but she didn't tell them the truth. Also, Teru told Kiyoshi and Rena that Kurosaki and her are in a relationship which made both of her friends happy, but they couldn't help but mock her about it.

After school she was plucking some weeds around flowers. An hour or more passed when she noticed that the sky, that should be orange from the early twilight was dark gray from the clouds that were forming. Remembering that she didn't bring her umbrella she decided to hurry back home, and not get caught in the storm that was coming. She got her bag and walked towards the station. She would usually walk home since it wasn't far from school. But she decided it would be faster and smarter to go like this. When she got off from the train it was already raining. The streets were almost completely empty. She didn't notice a car behind her, and it drove right past her splashing water all over her. Teru gasped and froze in place, looking down at her soaked uniform, then up to see that car stopped in front of her. Then things happened so fast that she didn't even had time to think. The man got out of that car. In a few fast steps he was in front of her, grabbing her forearm roughly and covering her mouth and nose with a cloth. It muffled her scream, as he pushed her towards the car, looking around making sure that nobody saw them. By the time he opened back seat door she already passed out.

Finally **** done! Sorry for the wait for the ones who were expecting update at weekends, but a lot of things happened so I couldn't concentrate properly on writing. And when I work on something I wanna give it 101%. Hopefully I can continue to update more often, untill I get back on track.

- I have been noted about one mistake...and yeah I laughed at myself when I realised it...I wrote Tatsuku instead of Tasuku...I blame my native language for that! Hard to explain, but it's easier to me to pronounce it with T...so sorry bout that ^^'

- Second thing, sorry about grammar mistakes! But this is really my first time writing something big on english and sometimes I get caught up in thinking about something while writing so I don't concentrate. But aside from that our english classes are poor so believe me, it's good I write even like this. Talking and writing are diferent things, but please bare with me, even some native english f.f writers make mistakes don't they?!

I hope you liked this chapter, please revew and all, and I hope that I will update soon :) Have a nice holliday ending
