I got off the train then Tanaka grabbed my hand, holding it as Tobio came over.

"Stay close, Hana. We don't know where they are." I nodded then grabbed his hand, making him look at me.

"You too." I said then he nodded, holding tight as we walked. We left the station then I heard a bark, screaming as a dog ran at me.

"Hana, it's okay! Hey, its a dog!"

"Makkachin!" A voice yelled then I hugged Tanaka tighter as the dog ran off.

"Shh, it was just a dog, Hana." Tanaka said and rubbed my back as someone came over.

"Hana!"

"Hey! No touchy touchy!" Tanaka said then I turned, seeing Viktor and Yuuri.

"Hana?"

"She was kidnapped, Yuuri, remember?" Tobio said then Yuuri looked shocked.

"N-no! We were never told this!" He said then Tobio looked confused.

"Mom said she would call Uncle Toshiya, didn't she?" Yuuri shook his head then went to touch me but I backed away.

"Hana, we'll play the game at their house, okay?" Tanaka said and I looked at him, slowly nodding.

"Let's get to your house, hmm?" Tanaka said and they nodded, ushering us to their car. I yelped as the dog came closer then Viktor whistled.

"Makkachin, come. In the front, quit scaring Hana." He said then we all got in, the dog in the front but Tobio and Tanaka on either side of me. As we drove through Hasetsu, I noticed familiar things about it.

"Hana, what game are we going to play?" Viktor asked but I curled into Tanaka.

"Her comforting game. If you win, she'll hug you. If she wins, she'll back away and won't come near you. Isn't that right, Hana?" I nodded then peeked at my cousin and his fiancé.

"Well, hopefully, we win, yes?" Viktor smiled then I shrugged, making him pout.

"So mean! Oh, and before we get there, JJ, Yurio, Otabek, Phichit, Christophe, and Minami are there. We'll tell them to play the game too, okay?" I nodded then we got to the hot springs, but Mari came out to greet us though.

"Hana, just stay in the car for a moment." Yuuri said then I watched as he and Viktor got out, Makkachin following. Yuuri told Mari something that made her cigarette drop from her lips and look at us, so I guessed what he had said, but Viktor went inside with the dog.

"Hana, Tanaka, Tobio!" Yuuri called and we got out, Tanaka holding my arm tightly.

"Hey, Hana. It's me, Mari. Remember me?" She said then Tobio stepped in front of me.

"Play her game, she'll let you hug her then. Otherwise, she'll bite. She bit my dad hard enough to make him bleed." He said then Yuuri and Mari looked shocked.

"Come inside, all of you. Please, so we can play the game." Yuuri said and we went inside, but I jumped as Makkachin came running over.

"Makkachin, down!" Yuuri commanded and the dog laid down, staying where he was.

"Good boy." He said, petting his head as I slowly walked into the main room with Tanaka.

"Hana!" Minami smiled but I jumped behind Tanaka, who laughed softly.

"Hana, why don't you play with Yuuri first, okay?" I looked at him then my cousin, who stood.

"Tobio, show them how to play her game." Tanaka said as he got my coat off, setting it down while Tobio showed them.

"Keep your hands up where she can see them, this is a game of turns. Your first move is stepping towards her with your hands up, then it's her move. If she comes closer to you and touches you, slowly hug her. Hug her only, nothing more. If she backs away, put your hands down and back away. Don't make any sudden moves and follow her rules, got it?" They all nodded then Yuuri stepped closer, putting his hands up.

"Okay, Hana, your turn." He smiled then I slowly stepped closer, stopping as the dog got up.

"Makkachin." I jumped back as he barked at me then screamed when he jumped, a hand grabbing his collar before he hit me.

"Hana! Hana, calm down! Hey, shh!" Tanaka side hugged me then I gripped his arm tightly shaking in his arms as the dog barked and fought against Mari.

"Makkachin, no!" She growled then Viktor grabbed his dog.

"I'll put him outside, so he can't scare her again." He said then I watched with tears in my eyes as Viktor took his dog outside and Yuuri smiled at me.

"Hana, it's okay."

"Tanaka, get her calmed down." Tobio said then Tanaka made me look at him.

"Hana, look at me. Hey, look, it's me. Its Tanaka, Ryunosuke, remember?" I slowly nodded then he brushed my hair back, smiling at me.

"That's it, you're safe." He said then I laid against him, calming as I listened to his heart.

"Okay, do you want to try again?" I nodded and looked at my cousin, slowly walking towards him.
