CHAPTER 22

                         Yuuri was watching the television in the living room. “Hey, Yuuri…” Yuuri looked at Yuuki curiously. “Can you go to the hospital and gave this to Hattori? He’s going to stay there for a night.” said Yuuki. Yuuri nodded and took a green paper bag from Yuuki. “I’ll come with you.” said Shigure. Yuuri smiled and nodded.

                   As they reached the hospital, they went to the information counter and asked about Hattori. “I’ll wait here.” said Shigure. Yuuri nodded and went to Hattori’s office. Yuuri knocked the door and entered the office. Hattori took of his glasses and looked at Yuuri curiously. “Sorry to bother you.” said Yuuri. “Here…” Yuuri went towards him and gave the bag. “Did you come here alone?” Hattori asked as he took the bag from Yuuri. “Nope… Shigure is outside.” said Yuuri. They both became awkward. “I… better go now.” said Yuuri. She left the office quickly. Hattori only stared at the air. “What’s wrong with her?” Hattori asked himself. He sighed and continued his work.

                         Yuuri came out from the hospital and entered the blue car. The driver drove the car, living the hospital. “Where are we going, Yuu? You haven’t told me yet.” said Momiji. “Well… can we go to the cemetery? It’s been a while since I go there.” said Yuuri while smiling gloomily. Momiji was dumbfounded and smiled gloomily. “Sure.” Momiji answered. He looked at the driver. The driver nodded his head and drove the car to the cemetery.

                           Yuuri and Momiji went to Akito’s grave. Yuuri kneel down and put a bouquet of fresh red roses in front of the grave stone. “It’s been awhile, father.” Yuuri whispered softly. Yuuri and Momiji invoked Akito while cleaning his grave. They looked at each other and nodded. They both went back to the car. As they were walking to the car, suddenly, a white van stopped in front of them. Two men wearing black suit came out from the van. One of them hit Momiji’s and the driver’s head with a stick until they fainted, while the other man covered Yuuri’s mouth with his hand and dragged her into the van. Yuuri tried to scream but it was no use. She could see Momiji’s and the driver’s body, lying on the ground motionless. Her eyes started to became watery.

                            Hattori woke up and yawned. He looked at his desk and saw a bottle of coffee and a red container. “So she came.” Hattori whispered to himself while smiling. He stood up and kept his blanket in a paper bag. His phone rang. He picked it up. He was shocked and speechless when he heard Yuuri, screaming in pain and agony. “Yuuri! What’s wrong?! Where are you?!” Hattori asked anxiously. Hattori could hear laughter. “Who’s this?! Stop playing around! What have you done to her?!” Hattori snarled angry.  “Now, now… there’s no need to get mad about this. If you want her back than do as I say.” said the kidnapper. “What do you want?!” said Hattori angrily. “Well, you can call the police and convinced them to release Kaito and Semei or, you could give me ten thousand dollar. I’ll be waiting for you at an abandon warehouse near the beach before dawn.” said the kidnapper. “I’ll do it… but… I’ll kill you if you lay a hair on her…” said Hattori. “That depends… whether you could bring it to me before dawn or not.” said the kidnapper. He hung up the phone. Hattori snatched his car keys and ran to his car. He drove his car while calling Yuuki, telling him what had happened.

                  At the warehouse, Yuuri was torture by the kidnapper. Her body was covered with blood and wounds. Her white blouse was torn and covered with blood. “Do you really think that I’m going to do what you want, Seichi?!” Yuuri snarled angrily. Seichi kicked her stomach. Yuuri groaned in pain. “Shut up and lay down!” Seichi scolded her. Blood oozed out from Yuuri’s mouth. “Why don’t you just kill me already? It would be easier, isn’t it?” said Yuuri while smirking. Sakura walked towards her and held Yuuri’s long hair tightly. Yuuri moaned painfully. “Why? Because it’s fun!” said Sakura while smirking. She released Yuuri while laughing. Sakura took out her pink handkerchief and covered Yuuri’s mouth and nose.

                       “Is this the place?” Yuuki asked curiously. “Guess so.” Shigure answered. Yuuki, Shigure and Hattori got out from the car and went to the warehouse. Suddenly, two man wearing black suits attacked them. “Get back… this might get messy.” Shigure waned Yuuki and Hattori. They both obeyed him. Shigure ran towards the two men and beat them up. “How rude… is this the way they treat their guest of honour? What a pain.” said Shigure while smirking. The three of them went inside the ware house and saw Seichi and Sakura, grinning at them. “Where’s Yuuri?!” Hattori asked angrily. A man with short dark hair and a pair of black eyes approached Sakura and Seichi while dragging Yuuri. He pointed his gun at Yuuri’s head. Yuuri looked at her cousin with a daze. She looked very frail. Hattori, Yuuki and Shigure were shocked and speechless. “Give us the money first!” said Seichi. “Here’s your money. It’s enough for you to release your fathers. Probably could cover up your fathers’ assets.” said Hattori as he threw a briefcase towards Sakura. Sakura picked it up. Seichi looked at the man and nodded. The man kept his gun and pushed Yuuri to Hattori. Yuuri walked towards Hattori weakly. Hattori caught her in his arms quickly and kneel down. The man aimed his gun towards Hattori and Yuuri. Hattori covered Yuuri’s face to his chest. Sakura and Seichi opened the briefcase and looked at the money while smirking. “Well… you did keep your promise.” said Sakura as she closed the briefcase. The three of them left the warehouse quickly. “Shigure, call the ambulance! Yuuki, call Kureno!” said Hattori. They both nodded and obeyed him. “Hattori…”  Yuuri called him while holding Hattori’s shirt tightly. Hattori looked at her curiously. “How’s… Momiji…?” Yuuri asked weakly. “He’s fine. Now get some rest.” said Hattori. Yuuri fainted in Hattori’s arms.

                          Yuuri opened her eyes. Her head still feel dizzy. She looked around and saw Satsuki and Kyo, Satsuki’s husband. Satsuki was weeping in Kyo’s arms. Yuuri tried to call her sister. “Sa… ki…” Satsuki was dumbfounded and looked at Yuuri in disbelieve. Yuuri tried to smile at her sister. Satsuki can’t control her tears anymore. She hugged Yuuri and cried. Kyo tried to calm her down. Suddenly, they heard a fuss outside the room.

                             Outside the room, Hatsuharu was holding Momiji’s collar. “I sent you here to take care of her, idiot!” Hatsuharu scolded angrily. Momiji only kept quiet. Hatsuharu released his gripped and punched Momiji’s face. Momiji fell on the floor. Rin helped Momiji stood up. “Stop it you two! This is a hospital! Don’t fight in here!” Hattori scolded them angrily. The door near them was opened. All of them looked at the room curiously. “Please, stop this….” said Yuuri with a weak voice. Her legs couldn’t support her weighed anymore. She kneeled and started to sweat rapidly. Satsuki went towards her quickly. Hatsuharu went towards Yuuri and kneel down. “You should get some rest, Yuu.” said Hatsuharu gloomily while stroking Yuuri’s cheek. Yuuri looked at her brother while holding his hand. “It’s not Momiji’s fault, Haru! It’s fault! I really wanted to go to the cemetery. Its father’s birthday.” said Yuuri, trying to convince her brother. Hatsuharu hung his head low. “Yuu…” Momiji whispered gloomily. “You idiot! Don’t scare me like that!” Hatsuharu scolded Yuuri angrily. Yuuri hung her head low and kept apologizing. She can’t meet her brother’s gaze. Hatsuharu hugged her tightly. Yuuri was dumbfounded when she felt hot tears, running down her cheek. Guilty started to hunt her. “Visiting hour is over.” Hattori announced. Satsuki looked at him gloomily. “I’ll take care of her. Don’t worry.” said Hattori. Satsuki nodded and smiled. Hatsuharu helped Yuuri stood up and sent her to her to her bed. Yuuri sat on the bed gloomily. Hatsuharu stroked her hair gently and kissed her head. “I’ll come back toworrow.” said Hatsuharu while smiling calmly. He left Yuuri alone in the room.
