How The Sakura Blooms

Chapter 9 - Misfit025

***Back with another chapter! Hope you like :)***

-- Kaika's P.O.V. --

I don't ever remember meeting that guy, but somehow he seemed familiar. I shrug it off. Maybe he just has one of those familiar faces. I stand up and brush myself off before starting home. On the way home I can't help but think about what that guy had said. He was definitely right about one thing though, things have been really strange lately and I still don't know anything about what's been going on... Maybe I should just ask Rin, after all, he is the one who said that they had all come to learn something from me, maybe he knows something.

After walking for awhile, I finally get back to my house. I reach into my pocket to get my housekey out, but all of a sudden, I am grabbed from behind. One hand covers my mouth at the same time, an arm is snaked around both my arms and waist, grabbing tightly and restricting my movement. I squirm trying to break free though it's no use, whoever it is, is obviously much stronger. Then I feel their warm breath against my ear.

???: "It's rude to keep someone waiting so long. You know, you're a pretty little thing, a lot cuter than I expected and if you just do as I say, you can stay that way."

By the voice I could tell it was a man, and I tense up at his words. Could it be... that this is the guy from the lake? No, this guy has a low growl of a voice, much different from the voice of the guy I met moments before. Though this guy speaks in a calm tone, there is intimidation in his voice. I shut my eyes tightly out of fear though it doesn't matter because soon a blindfold covers my eyes and is tied tightly behind my head. I feel myself being dragged. Even though I can't see, I can tell that I'm being moved away from my house. Where is he taking me...? What's going to happen to me...? As I wonder about this I hear another voice... a familiar one...

???: "What the hell do you think you're doing! Leave her alone!"

Rin?

???: "Rin what're you yell- Hey! Stop!"

Jushiro?

I hear a car door open and I'm thrown face down onto what I assume is the back seat. My hands are pulled and crossed, then tied together behind my back and then I hear two car doors slam shut and all of a sudden we're speeding off. From the way my body sunk into the seat I could tell that the guy who'd grabbed me was driving at an alarming speed.

--Third Person P.O.V. -- -- Meanwhile --

Rin gets ready to run after the car that had sped off with Kaika but before he can Mori grabs his shoulder.

Rin turns around getting mad: "What do you think you're doing?"

Jushiro tries to speak calmy through his anger: "Rin, you can't just run after the car like that."

Rin raises his voice: "So we're just going to stand here?!"

Jushiro shakes his head: "I'm just as upset as you are, but we have to have a plan."

Rin grits his teeth in frustration: "Why are we going to waste our time with a plan? She's our friend, and we're stronger than him, we're faster than him, why the hell do we need a stupid plan?"

Jushiro: "Because Rin, you can't run into things recklessly. What if he sees you running after the car, panicks, and hurts her? Did you think of that? Going without a plan is a careless thing to do, besides, you know we aren't allowed to use our full potential until we are commanded to. And if you think a sensable plan is a waste of time then I would think you wouldn't want to spend any more time arguing."

Rin clenches his fists: "Fine."

Rin, Mori, and Jushiro go inside and quickly start discussing a plan to save Kaika. Mori goes upstairs to look for Sebastian and tell him the situation at hand but he's gone. They continue without him, not wanting to lose anymore valuable time.

-- Kaika's P.O.V. --

Where's Emiko when I need her? For as far back as I can remember, Emiko was always there for me, always protecting me. As I start thinking about all the times she has been there for me, tears start to well up in my eyes and threaten to fall.

Suddenly the car stops. I feel a sharp breeze as the door opens and my kidnapper quickly grabs me. Where am I...? Still blindfolded, I have no idea where I am or where I'm going but I'm forced to walk forward.

Kidnapper: "I'm going to have a lot of fun with you. It's going to bring your price down but I think it's worth it."

He says this with a chill in his voice, and he strokes my cheek, causing me to tremble. I hear what sounds like a key unlocking something, and then a metal garage door being opened. I'm made to continue walking a few more feet and then stopped. He pushes down on my shoulders and says "sit." Still trembling I obey him. He pulls on whatever it is that tied my hands together and removes it, replacing it with something cold and metal. Are these... handcuffs?

Abruptly my blindfold is ripped off and my kidnapper walks out from behind me. Just as I had thought, it wasn't the guy from the lake. No, this guy was terrifying. He wore a gas mask that covered most of his face but still I could see enough of it to know that I've never seen this person before. His right eye was teal and seemed to pierce right through me and his left eye glowed red. He had pitch black hair, pale white skin, and both his neck and left hand was bandaged.

My voice shook along with my body: "W-who are... you..?"

His eyes scrunch up in a way that I can tell he is smirking underneath the mask.

Kidnapper: "Me? Well you see, I don't have a name. I don't have a mother. I don't have a father." In a blink of an eye his eyes filled with rage. "They call me Misfit025."

The rage behind his eyes lasts only seconds and then the cold expression that also hinted that he was smirking was back. He bends down and grips my chin.

Misfit025: "None of that matters now though, because you're going to make me feel all better aren't ya darling?"

I shake my head out from his grip and look down and away from him. This just irritates him off he grabs my face more roughly, forcing me to stare at him.

Misfit025: "Just be a good girl, and I won't have to use this"

He pulls out a clip point pocket knife and holds it inches away from my face. I want to scream and yell but my fear takes control of me and I feel helpless... Emiko... Somebody... help me...

***That's all for now! :) Oh and the picture above is Kaika's kidnapper aka Misfit025***
