Hey, I'm back! Two days in a row! Buh-bam! I'm awesome! Even though this chapter is painfully short...

If you haven't seen my new story, [Admitted], then go check it out! There'll probably be some good Kyoya/Hikaru fluff at some point. ;)

Chapter Thirteen: Don't let them go.

"That brat is causing more trouble than I anticipated," Doji growled. He let his orange drink drop to the ground, the glass shattering into a million glistening pieces. The tall man met Ryuga's irritated gaze. "Forget Stephanie. She's a nuisance." Then, he turned to Ayumi. "You, come with us"

The young girl bowed, and when she looked up, her golden eyes were glowing. "Yes, sir," she said, a smirk spreading across her face.

Ryuga tilted his head, the shadows that fell across his face making him appear even more intimidating than normal. "Doji, this plan better not fail," he snarled.

"Relax. We have all the benefits." Doji's words were spoken slowly, drawn out, rolling off the tip of his tongue in quite an unsettling manner. "Come."

Doji led the way out of the room and into the dimly lot hallways. The other two matched his swift pace, heading through the corridors with no hesitation. It was a fairly short walk; after all, they knew the place like the back of their hands, and were able to take all the shortcuts. When they reached the hall where the door had been blown to the ground, surprise lit all of their faces.

On the ground, Kuroi knelt with her face in her hands, her fingers digging into her skin so hard that it was amazing she wasn't bleeding. The tight black dress she wore showed off her figure nicely as she bent over her beyblade. Her dark hair fell beautifully around her. She glanced up and her wide eyes met Ryuga's unforgiving gaze almost instantly.

"I...am so sorry, Ryuga," Kuroi said as she stood up. Her voice was strong, but her legs wobbled like jelly as if she were either terribly exhausted or horribly frightened.

Ryuga held his hand up as a sign for her to stop speaking. "No need. Which way did they go?"

Silently, Kuroi pointed them in the right direction, her eyes full of disappointment in herself.

"We'll split up," Doji said, control and confidence edging his voice.

Ryuga met the older man with a challenging stare. "You better hope this doesn't fail, or else you will be the one to suffer." He turned and left the three bladers, heading after the prisoners on his own.

This is not a filler, it's just short! Sorry, guys! The next chapter is about the same length as this one. But you know what's special about it?

KYOYA'S COMING BACK!

That's right. Kyoya gets his own chapter next, and will be appearing regularly from then on. ;)

Until next time!
