Okay! I feel that I have to warn you. This chapter is a bit boring... Nothing much happens. I thought of writing a bit more, but somehow I liked the cliffhanger I made in the end xD
Thanks for all the reviews, favorites and follows. I appreciate it a lot :) I apologize for my grammar, sometimes it's really horrible I know. I shall try to do it better.
"Give it to me" A familiar voice said in a threatening tone. It seemed to come closer but it was too dark to see anything. "Give me the book." The voice seemed to get closer and closer but it never reached. Still it frightened Natsume. Where did the voice come from? "Give it to me or I'll kill you." Hands came out of the darkness and grabbed Natsumes throat just before everything disappeared.
When Natsume opened his eyes he wasn't completely certain what had happened, nor where he was. He had to wait for a moment before his eyes were able to adapt to the light and he finally could see. The sun was on its way down and shined in threw the window.
As Natsume brought his hands up to his aching head he noticed that his hands were tied together with a piece of paper. He sat straight up, but a bit too fast so he had to lie down again and wait for his head to stop spinning. Once he felt a bit better he tried to sit up again but a bit slower. He looked around in the room, there was no youkai nor human there, just him. He tried to get his thoughts straight, what had happened? Then he remembered.
He had been chased by a youkai and while trying to escape it he had run into Matoba Seiji. Then he had almost gotten strangled after the youkai had pulled him away. He wasn't certain what had happened after he passed out, but he could easily guess that Matoba had something to do with it since he were tied up with the same kind of paper as the first time Matoba had taken him in for 'a talk'.
But Natsume didn't have time to think about such things at the moment, he had to get out of there before Matoba would come. He tried to rip the paper that held his hands together by using his teeth, but it didn't help. Well, he could move pretty freely even with his wrists tied together. The most important thing at the moment would be to get out of there.
Natsume looked towards the door. It was probably not a good idea to try and take that way out, last time he had tried to get out from one of Matobas houses he had gotten lost. And Matobas servants could be just outside the door if he were unlucky. So Natsume looked towards the window instead, maybe that way would be easier. It would decrease the risk of getting discovered if he immediately got out instead of trying to find his way out.
He walked up from the sofa he had been lying on and went towards the window. He were three floors up. It wasn't impossible to make it, but if he broke a leg when he reached the ground then he wouldn't be able to run. Maybe if he were able to get a grip on one of the tree branches. But with his hands tied together it would be hard to make it.
Then he remembered about his bag, it wasn't in the room. He had to find it before he left, even though Matoba probably didn't know anything about the book of friends at the moment there was still a chance that he would find out later. Someone like him would definitely use it for horrible purposes. There was no way Natsume could leave the book in Matobas hands.
"So you're finally awake." Matobas voice sent shivers threw Natsumes body. Or maybe it was the fact that he hadn't even heard the exorcist walk in. "Take a seat." Matoba offered as he closed the door behind him.
"I prefer to stand." Natsume said, giving Matoba a cold glare. Matoba didn't seem to care at all about Natsumes hostility. He started to move, but instead of walking closer to Natsume he went to a desk. Natsume thought for a short while about trying to run towards the door while Matoba seemed busy, but that would probably be the worst idea as long as Matoba were in the room and could send a youkai after him.
Natsume heard the sound of a drawer being opened and it seemed like Matoba were picking up something from it. As Natsume saw what Matoba was holding in his hands he gasped, without noticing it he had gotten a panicked expression. He fast tried to get back the same expression that he had before but Matoba had already notice the change. Matoba was holding the book of friends, and Natsumes reaction just proved that it was important in some way.
Dun dun DUN!
In the next chapter we will have an interrogation and I may put in Nyanko-sensei when he search after Natsume. Sooo... like if you enjoyed, subscribe to become a bro today and I'll see you in the next episode of whatever I make. Stay awesome bro's. xD hahahah sorry, I am a bit obsessed with pewdiepie! I couldn't help it.. I just wanted to see how many that would realize what I was doing xD
Anyway, I shall start writing on the next chapter immediately and hopefully I will have it up already tonight, if not tonight then in a couple of days. Depends on how lazy I am! x3
