We were heading to the police station, giving them the information that we found, mainly the pictures and our theories. They might kick out but at this moment, we were about to take matters into our hands. Amu has been gone for about a week now. I haven't been able to sleep a bit during the week. From the looks on everyone else's face, they didn't get much either. We walked through the station door. Everyone was looking at us real quick before getting back to work. The people in cuffs gave us weird looks. I just ignored them though. Kairi lead us to the detective over the case. She was working on some papers on the desk. Was it case related?
"Detective, There is some information that we thought we ought to share with you." Kairi said She looked up for her desk and looked at all of us. Kairi gave her one of Amu's dairies. "This is one of Amu's dairies from when a therapist told her to write in journals after the first abduction. A few pages into it, she mentions that Hotori always wanted to try and use electricity on her. Hotori has always been a daddy's boy since he didn't get to hang out with his dad too often." Kairi told. The detective sighed before fully facing us.
"Listen kids… I really hate to break this to you but—
"She isn't dead." Kairi interrupted her. "He couldn't stab the security guard. He made it harder on himself to escape by using the three street rats to his advantage. If he couldn't harm the security guard, I doubt that he killed Amu."
"We don't even know if Hotori was originally the one wanting Amu or if Hotori was just sent just to capture her. I know, you kids are smart. You'd make great detectives in the future but learn this now. Less than four percent of abducted kids survive the first twenty four hours. She's already betted those odds one time. It'll be a miracle if she beats them a second time." She got straight to the point. My phone was vibrating in my pocket. I pulled it out and a number flashed across my screen. I snarled at the phone. I waved to the detective and point to the phone. "Someone tag that phone call!" She shouted "And shut the hell up! A child could be at steak now!" Everyone in the building, even the criminals shutted up. She nodded her head once, allowing me to answer. I made sure to put the phone on speaker.
"Hn?"
"Aaa. Tsukiyomi~. Nice of you to finally answer." I didn't like the tone in his voice. "Since I know you don't speak I'll do the talking." He had that superiority tone in his voice. I refrained from rolling my eyes. There was this buzzing noise.
"Kyaa!"
My eyes widened. That was Amu.
"I just love the sounds of her screams, don't you Tsukiyomi?" He asked. There was a silence over the phone. "Oh, Is she not worth your breath? Is that why you don't talk?" He taunted. I wanted to kill him. I could hear laughter in the back ground.
"Me? A waste of his breath?" Amu asked before laughing again. "He's probably afraid to breath he could probably smell how you smell like a wet goat through the phone!" She yelled at him. The buzzing noise was back. "Kyaaaa!"
"I don't smell like a wet goat!" He shouted in defiance.
"Maybe if there was water around here, you could actually smell the difference!" The buzzing was back. "Kyaaa!" The sreams were longer now. "Stop electrocuting me!" Amu was giving us hints.
"Why are you always defending him! He can't even speak over the damn phone for you and yet you still defend him!" Hotori was mad. If she kept doing this, she was going to be in deep trouble.
"Because… It takes more than having a dick between your legs to make you a man. He's diffidently more of a man than you and your daddy-dearest is combined. Scratch that… He's more of a man that you two could ever dream of." The line went silent for a while.
"Tsukiyomi. You better say goodbye to her while you still have the chance." Hotori said. I looked over to the man tagging the phone. He signaled for me to keep it going. I took one deep breath. I started humming the song I played in the park. I knew she knew the words to it. I heard her secretly practicing it.
"Got it." Amu said. "Oh, and one more thing. Get better cuffs." She stated.
"How the hell?! Someone get her!" There was a bunch of crashes and thuds in the background. "Now I see how keep escaping with him." I heard him mumbled. I looked over to the other detective. He had the universal sign for 'Okay' in the air. "Did you tell her to do this?" He demanded for an answer. I hummed a no. I wasn't that stupid. That was clearly Amu's thing.
"Got her boss!" Someone shouted. "WOULD YOU STOP FIGHTING ALREADY?!" the man was obviously losing his temper.
"NO! I'll never stop fighting! As long as I have someone waiting for me at home, I'll never stop fighting! Ikuto, Rima, Utau, Kukai, Nagihiko, Yaya and Kairi are waiting for me along with my family! I'll never stop fighting for them! I don't care what you do to me!" She was fighting… For us? Shouldn't she be fighting for herself. Hotori hung up the phone. Something in my gut told me that something bad was going to happen.
"Find places that has electricity but no water access! It has to be secluded, that girl has a strong set of lungs!" The woman was demanding. People were scrambling around, trying to find answers. Kairi was thinking as usual. Something else was bugging me in the back of my mind. I just couldn't figure out what.
"We've found Nine areas that fit that description!" The detective rushed over there and started looking at the computer screen.
"Is one of the a goat farm or has anything to do with goats?" Kairi asked. The technician started typing some keys. She shook her head.
"The Hotori were going to start a goat farm for a fashion thing the lady had in mind a few years back but they couldn't do it because the water for the creek had arsenic in it. It's in the next town over actually." I told. Everyone was looking at me in shock. "It smells like hell there but they did manage to put the electric in it. Make the map a bit bigger." I told her. The detective was still in shock. The technician still did what I said. "There. That area right there." I pointed to it.
"Check it out." The detective commanded. "I didn't know you could talk."
"We've just heard him speak for the first time when he was telling us that Amu got captured. The second time was to tell us we were going to get her back. This was the third time." Kukai stated. "It's still weird. But he only speaks if it involves Amu." The detective smiled Then her face formed a frown.
"Then why didn't you speak to her when he had her on the phone?" She asked.
"There was a rule Amu told me that she learned when she was with the first Hotori… If you want to live longer, never do what the sadistic freak wants. Fight. They find more pleasure in challenges. They'll want to keep you around longer." I've done enough talking for today. The detective had this confused look on her face.
"I thought it was to never show fear and do what they say. That's what they taught us to do." She commented. I just shrugged. I was just telling her what Amu told me. "Maybe the Hotori are just a different type of sadist.
"It fits all the criteria!" The technician yelled.
"I need a swat team there ASAP! You kids stay here." She commanded.
"Hell no!" We all said in sync.
"You heard her. She's fighting for us." Utau stated.
"We at least should be there for when you get her out of that hell hole." Rima finished for her. It was kind of scary seeing them work together like this. The detective glared at them but they gave her one that would send her to her grave. She looked over to me.
"I can cause a pretty good distraction." I gave her. "He's bond to have a lot of guards there." My throat was starting to hurt. She stared at me for a bit before sighing.
"Fine, but you are taking your own cars." She stated. I smirked before heading on out to Utau's car.
I watched as Hotori paced the room. I pulled on the chain on my neck. I feel like a dog. First he had to put a shock collar on my neck and then he had to chain me up like a mutt. This. Is. Fabulous… Hotori quickly turned to me with anger.
"Stop making all that racket! I'm trying to think!" He shouted. I knew I already pushed him past his point so I did as I was told. That when he smirked. "So you're finally starting to listen to me." For get it, I rather be electrocuted that to let his ego grow.
"Maybe I'd listen better if you gave me something to wear besides one of your shirts." I was serious that was literally ALL that I was wearing. A smirk was still on his face. I knew that look all to well. He got aroused by what I said or he just had a perverted thought. There's one thing that I can't complain about…
"Any ideas on what else you'd want to wear, Amu?" He at least uses my own name. I knew what he was implying. That idiot was horny. His hands reached down to his pants. He was going to force himself on me, no matter what I'd say now. He as just like the spitting image of his father. With every step he took, I took one back. I didn't want him to touch me. It made me feel like I was betraying Ikuto, even though I didn't want this in the first place. The smirk on his face told me that he was going to a lot more than he usually did. It was just like being back in hell. Then he suddenly stopped and his eyes seemed to shrink. "What the hell is he doing here?!" I heard him whisper. I couldn't help but to feel relief when he turned around and stormed out. Wait… I hear it… It was a violin…
Ikuto!
I was grinning like a love struck idiot. I was a love struck idiot. He actually came for me! Wait… They're going to try and kill him… I listened more carefully to the violin. I had to keep my promises to Ikuto.
"I love you
Just for now
I don't want to hear a sad song
I love you
Escaping and escaping
I finally got to this room
This isn't a lovewhere I was forgiven for everything
The two of us are like abandon cats
This room is like an empty box covered in leaves
So you, with a crying voice like a kitten's…
Wooooooooooh~!
On this creaking bed, instead of holding gently
If we can hold each other tightly
And then we'll close our eyes again
With a sad song, for this love
Not to fade~…"
Pause
"I love you
The two of us who are too young
There's an untouchable secret to our love
I Love you
I can't arrive at that in my life right now
That love that piles up and lives on as one
Were only seeing a dream and being hurt
Hearing 'I love you' over and over
You can't go on without this love
Woooooh~!
On this creaking bed, instead of holding gently
If we can hold each other tightly
And then we'll close our eyes again
With a sad song, for this love
Not to fade~…" The music started slowing down.
"And then we'll close our eyes again
With a sad song, for this love
Not to fade~…"
I stopped singing but Ikuto was still playing. It wasn't long till he came to a stop. I opened my eyes to see a bunch of cops standing in the room staring at me. I didn't see none of my friends on here. I frowned at them before pulling at my chains again. I wanted to see Ikuto. I saw one the police men bring out this large tool thingy and cut the chain with it. I turned and ran. I ran out of the room. I ran away from the police. I past the idiots who held me up that were now the ones that were cuffed. The door was blocked so I just jumped through the open window.
"Someone get her!" I heard one of the police yell. I just hopped into the ambulance and shut the doors. The medical person was still in here nad he was staring at me in shock.
"Please tell me you got some spare clothes I can wear, right?" I asked. There was no way I wanted any of them to see me like this. He blinked a couple of times before he busted out laughing. I waited patiently for him to stop. "Come on~. This shirt smells like wet dog!" Okay, I wasn't so patient. He was laughing even harder. "It's not funny!"
Slam!
Someone pulled me by the back of my shirt, hard enough to bring me off my feet. My eyes widen, waiting for me to hit something. I felt something wrap around my waist before falling onto something soft but hard.
"Amu…"
I knew this voice. A smile found it's way unto my chest.
"Ikuto!" I screamed into his shirt as I hugged him back. "You idiot. I smell like I just went through a land fill." He chuckled.
"I'll take my chances." He said. I rolled my eyes before I giggled. Oh, how I loved this man.
