Sorry for the wait. There has been homework and everything. And I have word test swedish words. I should be reading those but I decided to write next chapter because haven't done it. Enjoy!
Chapter 6: Obeying, Threat and Strangers
-With Bladebreakers (minus Kai)-
At the first time in long time, they heard Kai's voice. It was relieve but they couldn't say anything to anyone.
"I still think we should tell Dickenson about this", Max stated.
"We can't Max. Boris may hear it or Miho's father. Only way to help Kai, is to find that stupid market", Kenny sighed and began to go through different files.
"We have to find that market and fast", Tyson replied. Others nodded as agreement.
"Is something wrong Ray?" Max's statement got everyone's attention.
"It's just that… I don't know can we trust Miho. I feel something is going to happen and she is just playing with us or something", Ray answered truthfully.
"You can't be serious. She's really nice. Why are you saying that?" Tyson snarled.
"But Ray is right Tyson. She is Kai's… 'owner's' daughter", Kenny spat out quietly. Tyson growled. He hated to admit but Kenny and Ray were right. They were a huge possibility that those jerks would find out about this 'secret' meeting. They could only hope that Kai could hold on until they find the market.
-With Miho-
It has been couple of hours after Boris' departure. Miho was walking towards father's study. She knocked twice on the door.
"Come in", father said. Miho stepped inside. Immediately she noticed father's expression.
"Are you aware that you are breaking the rules?"
Miho nodded: "Yes".
"Why are you helping that fucker?"
Father's mocking got Miho's nerves. But she held her voice back: "Because he had enough and he can't take it anymore. If you bought him because you need him for something, I think you need him alive. Raizo could have killed him".
Father remained quiet. Finally he spoke: "As usual you have a good point. Okay Miho, but after he has healed, he goes back to chamber. That's where he belongs anyway".
Miho nodded and left. Outside she sighed sadly. 'What can I do?' Miho thought. Then hit her. Father must have something that could help Kai's friends find that market. There could some find of address or something else. But how she could get it? Father never left his office. As she thought a way to get inside father's office she returned to her room.
-With Kai-
Kai was keeping his eyes closed. Even though Miho had treated his wounds, they still hurt. Kai heard door opening. Miho had come back. She looked sad.
"What is it?" Kai asked.
"It's just that you have to go back to chamber when your wounds are healed", Miho said. Kai didn't say anything. He was getting back his old attitude.
"Why you are sad about that? It's not surprising", Kai said annoyed. Miho's sadness left her.
"Did you forget what you said? You said you would do anything. And you must have noticed that you are getting back your 'irritating' attitude, which isn't good", Miho hissed. She wasn't able to hold her anger back.
"Don't worry about that. I'm not going to stay here", Kai hissed.
"Let me remind you that if you obey them, you won't get hurt. There is chance that Raizo is going to try find some reason to punish, but if you do everything you are told to, your friends have better chance to find you. And if you leave, father can go to police and get you back legally and you don't want that, do you?" Miho said another good point.
Kai growled under his breathe. 'Stupid slave market', Kai thought.
"I'm going to get something to eat. Any wishes?" Miho had stood up. Kai shook his head. With that Miho left again. Kai continued to stare at the ceiling. He could 'obey' that jerk but Boris is a problem. 'There is no way I'm going to listened to him', Kai cursed.
After few minutes Miho arrived with soup. Kai stared at her.
"You should sit up", Miho put plate on the table. She didn't tell him twice. Kai sat up slowly and took the plate. Miho was already eating.
-With Kaito&Raizo-
"You said you wouldn't let your daughter help that brat. What hell are you thinking?" Raizo shouted.
"Take it easy. I know you are mad but Miho was right. I need that brat for a moment. You can still punish him after he's healed but less badly. Hit him at the stomach and face with your fists but only use whip when he hits you, badly", Kaito said.
"Why you need him anyway?" Raizo asked quickly.
"First reason was that I needed help in this house, but now it's also for entertainment", Kaito laughed.
"You like to watch him suffer by me. That's fine by me", Raizo stated as he left. At the same time Kaito's wife arrived.
"Hey Atsuko", Kaito smiled.
"Don't pretend to be nice. It doesn't suit you", Atsuko stopped in front of the desk.
"What have you been doing? Don't tell me you care about the slave as well", Kaito smirked.
"No. I think that Miho is up to something. I don't know what though", Atsuko sat down. Kaito's expression changed more serious.
"Are you sure about that?" Kaito questioned her.
"I am. She was on the phone with her friend and they went to city, but my contact told me she visited with them".
"Who?"
"Bladebreakers. They are slave's friends".
Kaito began to take deep breathes. He needed to calm down. Atsuko waited five minutes before speaking again.
"What are you going to find out what she wanted from them?" Kaito looked at her wife after the question.
"I'm sure she told the slave about it. So I'm going to ask him", Kaito smirked. Atsuko understood. Her job was to make sure Miho was away when Kaito was going to talk the boy. But it could be done later. Now Atsuko had to tell servants what to do
-With Bladebreakers (minus Kai) Four days later-
"I DID IT!" someone shouted really loudly. Everyone woke up and Tyson even fell on the floor. Tyson shot himself up as Ray and Max ran next to him.
"Wasn't that Kenny?" Max asked.
"Let's go", Ray was already running towards living room.
"Did you find something Kenny?" Tyson spoke first. Kenny had huge smile on his face.
"Yes I did! Actually I didn't do everything but Miho did and you too Ray", Kenny pointed Ray as he was jumping around.
"Me? What did I do?" Ray was confused.
"You left your phone here at the table and Miho send you a message. She had managed to get address to the slave market", Kenny calmed down and showed the address.
"Where did she find it?" Ray asked.
"Basically she snuck in her father's study and pang", Kenny replied.
"Let's call the police and go there", Max was getting anxious.
"You do that and I call Mr. Dickenson", Ray picked his phone and was dialing Dickenson's number. After few minutes police was informed and Dickenson as well. Tyson was already at the door.
"Come on! What are you waiting for?" Tyson snapped his fingers. Max and Kenny ran to him. Ray was right behind them. 'Hold on just a little bit longer Kai', Ray thought.
-With Kai-
His wounds weren't completely healed but healed enough that he was back to the chamber. Something was terribly wrong. No one had come see him or hurt him. He was all alone, locked inside. It has been two days since he was put back at the dark chamber. It was fine by Kai to be alone but he was worried about others and… Miho specially. She said even herself she's going to get hurt if Kaito would catch her. She had told Kai her father's and mother's names, just in case. Then door opened. Kai looked up. He had expected Raizo or guards… but not Miho's father. There was woman also. She must be her mother, Atsuko. Kai backed away but his back hit the wall.
"I need couple answers from you", Kaito said. Kai didn't say anything as he kept his gaze on them. Kaito walked closer and squatted down. Kai swallowed.
"Only one question at this point. Why did Miho went to see your friends?" Kaito had angry expression on his face. He definitely was holding his anger back. Kai knew the answer, but he tells them that, his chances to escape will be ruined as Miho's life probably. There was only one thing to do.
"I don't know", Kai said. Kaito sighed growling. Without warning he grabbed Kai by his neck and began to strangle him. Kai gasped for air and grabbed Kaito's hand on his throat.
"I don't believe you. I know Miho told you why and you are going to tell me", Kaito was at least three times stronger than Raizo. Kai kicked and scratched Kaito's hand. Kai couldn't breathe but he decided not to give up this time.
"No", Kai choked out. Kaito let go of his throat but immediately kicked Kai to his stomach.
"Think again boy", Kaito smirked as Kai was coughing. Kai glared at him angrily. He saw something on woman's hand. Kaito nodded and she dropped it. It was picture of Bladebreakers, expect him.
"My friend took this photo three days ago", Kaito said.
"You are fucking watching them? Leave them alone!" Kai shouted.
"So, you are familiar with this. Good. I know you are familiar with everything. If you won't tell me everything I want to know, I will hurt my own daughter and your friends and maybe let Raizo have his fun them", Kaito threatened. Kai never understood it. How could someone hurt his own family? Kai closed his eyes and growling.
"And what is your choice?" Kaito asked again.
"I… I… tell you", Kai muttered.
"So… What did she tell you?" Kaito asked.
"She only told them where I was and maybe away to save me from you", Kai was ashamed already.
"So that's it. But I'm not surprised about that. I knew she would do something since she has so called good heart. Now, what do you think what we should do about that?" Kaito smirked evilly.
"Why not just let me go?" Kai hissed.
"Too late. They have already found where market is. Even if I free you I'll be thrown in jail and loose everything", Kaito stood up. Kai stood up ready to take action if it was needed.
"You can have your lonely time now and we go think a way to dispose them", Kaito laughed.
"WHAT? DON'T TOUCH ANY OF THEM!" Kai ran towards Kaito but was grabbed by his arms and thrown back. Kai fell on his back.
"Heh, why don't you calm down, slave, and leave thinking to me", Kaito left Atsuko following him. Only Raizo stayed behind. He grabbed Kai's hair and pulled him up. Kai could only cry as Raizo pushed him to the wall and chained his wrists behind his back and ankles. Finally he took white cloth and gagged Kai's mouth.
"This should calm you down. See you later", Raizo mocked as he left locking the door. Kai twisted around, hard. 'Please, leave them alone', Kai begged in his mind. He continued to struggle even though it was pointless.
-With Bladebreakers-
Ray stared policemen when they were arresting people everywhere. They found lot of kids from warehouse. But as usual, only those kids who weren't sold yet. It would be helpful if they could find other sold kids also. Dickenson walked to them.
"Did you find something?" Ray asked.
"Police told me that they found those documents. Those other kids who have been sold, they can be found", Dickenson explained.
"Really?" Max stated.
"Then Kai can be saved?" Ray added.
"Sorry Ray, but they said that file about Kai… They didn't find it. Until file is found we can't do anything", Dickenson apologized.
Ray was speechless. Tyson placed his hand on Ray's shoulder.
"Don't give up. We will find it. We have to", Tyson encourage.
Ray sighed: "You're right. Sorry. I just thought we did it. But it seems we have to find one more thing".
After Dickenson turned and left, Max spoke quietly: "We should call Miho and tell her. Wouldn't it be possible that her father has it?"
"Maybe. By the way, did they arrest that seller or something?" Tyson asked.
Kenny shook his head: "No. He either escaped or he wasn't here in the first place".
They decided to return Tyson's dojo and think their next move there. Dickenson and policemen were taking care of this place.
-Meantime outside the slave market-
Woman walked to black car and stepped inside sitting on the co-driver's seat.
"Did you get it?" man asked. Woman nodded and showed the file.
"Here", she opened it and read out loud: "Name: Kai Hiwatari. Age: 14. Gender: Male. Point of sale: Slave market. Purchaser: Kaito Sugimoto. Price: 100 000".
Man whistled at the back seat: "Nice. That Sugimoto bastard must have seen something about him".
Man in driver's seat started the car and left confused policemen behind.
Remember to review and tell me what do you think :)
