With a twitchy hand gripping the computer mouse from side to side the index finger began "click-baiting" various of websites, as an impatient heel taped under the desk of Kae Serinuma. She tapped her heel as she nervously bit her left thumb nail her eyes remain blood shot staring at a screen.

Twenty taps of articles of past victims and definitions of Obsession, stalking, predator, rape etc, keep Kae Serinuma busy.

Across town in a remote business building, Tohru Moriyama stood leaning against a desk as he flip threw a file of all the men assassinating with all the "Shinomiya-Princess Isami Fan club" members along with other registered sex offenders in the city.

"You think one of these guys may be our suspect?" Hara Kuzowa asked sitting an desk chair leaning his head on his hand as he flipped through another file.

"If it gets us anymore closer to Hayato Shinomiya then we have a shot," Agent Moriyama said with a look in his eye.

Suddenly with a loud buzz, Agent Hara Kuzowa's phone vibrated on the table.

"Huh?" Agent Kuzowa picked up his phone to see multiple text messages.

"Is it that girl again?" Moriyama asked with a raised eyebrow.

"That damn kid!" Kuzowa spat through his teeth,"I'm trying to work! That damn-!"

Kae Serinuma, Countless of times she called and texted Agent Hara Kuzowa searching for new leans and proportional suspects in the area from their last met in the park. Although Serinuma wasn't a detective analysis or a super computer wiz, she opened herself deep in psychologist research to understanding why her dear friend was kidnapped.

Hara Kuzowa open the text message with read:

Sernimua: We know that Shinomiya-kun had a fan club due to his role of Isami princess and that fan club was overall concern with Shinomiya-kun's health. So I don't think anyone in particularly would want to harm Shinomiya however if Shinomiya is being held by someone who is a psychopath or a sociopath who knows what Shinomiya would be dealing with!

Hara Kuzowa read the messages in his head and with a sigh replied back the following.

Serinuma in her room, clicked and texted with concern and worry as she stared at a screen as she scammed through articles of survived stories of past victims of stalking and kidnapped. When suddenly her phone vibrated and she looked to see that she received a text.

"It's from Igarashi?" Serinuma asked in awe.

Igarashi: Hey Serinuma! I was wondering if it's okay if we all came over. All of us are worried about you. You've been skipping some of you're studies again and well...if you get behind you're gonna have to...

Serinuma gasped in a shook as she read the last sentence.

Igarashi:....GO TO SUMMER SCHOOL!

Serinuma clutched her hands, I can't go to school in the summer no way! Not if I want to find Shinomiya! All of my time would be sucked dry from test and work! THERE'S NO FREAKING WAY I'M GONNA DO THAT!

Igarashi was at Donny's Diner with Nanashima, Mutsuma and Nishina who sat at a booth closes to the back.

Igarashi's phone buzzed off.

"Huh?" Igarashi was alaramed to the message as he read Serinuma's reply.

Serinuma: OKAY I PROMISE I WONT FALL BEHIND! I CAN'T GO TO SUMMER SCHOOL! NOT NOW NOT EVER! I WILL SEE YOU AT SCHOOL!

Igarashi sighed and he smiled,"At least I got her to come back to school,"

"OH THANK GOD!" Nishina, Nanashima and Mutsuma exclaimed with a sigh of relife.

"I'm pleased she's coming back," Mutsuma began,"For a second it felt that Shinomiya and Serinuma went off missing together," Mutsuma said feeling sad.

Nanashima and Igarashi slightly cringe to the though of Shinomiya and Serinuma being alone together for more then a few days, NOOOPPEEE THAT'LL NEVER HAPPEN! They shook the thought away.

Serinuma sitting in her desk at home sighed as she turned off the computer monitor as she turned around in her office chair and slouch down staring at her poster filled walls. Recently one wall of Akane X Master had been removed and with articles and pictures of the men in the fanclub hung up in replacement. A picture of Shinomiya was place on top and with needles and stings tying pictures together all connected to Shinomiya but a blank black outline of a profile picture hung faceless and nameless. With just a small posted note above which labeled with a sharpie in English read: Culprit (?). Which still remained unsolved.

Serinuma's phone buzzed as she looked to see she received a message from agent Kuzowa which read.

Kuzowa: Thank you for your concern and expressed devotion to helping us out. But It's best if you let the cops do their job. No hard feelings, but thanks anyway. We will call you if we need anymore of your assistance.

Serinuma sighed as she said out loud,"What am I doing?...There's no way I can find Shinomiya...Maybe I should just leave that to the cops...Seems like I'm causing everyone trouble...," She said to herself as she recalled all her friends and family coming to her aid over since Shinomiya went missing everyone had been walking on eggshells around Serinuma. But why? Are they Afriad of making me upset?

"They are all very considerate of my feelings not that I think about it," Serinuma said to herself. But that doesn't matter, Shinomiya is still missing!

Shinomiya is missing. No one knows where he is. He could be alive somewhere far away. He could be in good health with maid or butlers aiding to him. Or worst...He could be dead laying in a ditch somewhere!

The thought of that killed Serinuma as she gripped as her heart and shook her head, NO. She felt her hands tremble and shake as she wondered where on earth could Shinomiya be.

But wondering never helped. It only made things worst as her mind wondered in some twisted world. But she composed herself as she hoped for the best and in somewhat denial deiced nothing bad would ever happen to Shinomiya.

But that same night when Shinomiya disappeared, a part of Serinuma was stolen. A friendship that could never be replaced as she following the shinomiya deep down into an abyss of dreams.

She sat in her chair as she breathed in slowly as she resurfaced back into reality.

Serinuma sighed as she tried to compose herself,"I need to express these...feelings.... with my friends....I need to tell them."

Across the street down the block Nanashima, Nishina, Mutsuma and Igarashi sat at a booth of Donny's diner. Igarashi got a text from Kae explaining she'll meet them there.

"We should just all go over there! No since to let a girl walk alone in the dark at this hour," Nanashima explained with a frustrated fist.

"I believe Nanashima's right, We need to visit her after all," Mutsuma said.

"Sounds good," Igarashi agreed as he texted Serinuma the details.

Soon the gang was all at Serinuma's room as they stared wide eyes at Serisunma's change in appearance.

"I have a confession I have to make..," Kae Serinuma began.

She was wearing nothing but baggy old clothes, she was fairy thin with dark circles under her eyes from lack of sleep. Her hair had been thrown up in a messy hair clip and she she wore her glasses which made her eyes look small and bitty. And...She smelled like she didn't bathe in days.

"OH MY GOD SERINUMA-CHAN! YOU SMELL LIKE SWAP ASS!" Nanashima expressed as he pinched his nose with his hand, Mutsuma and Igarashi then and gave a back hand to the head.

"OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?" Nanashima cried out.

"FOR BEING RUDE!" Nishina said with a "Humph!"

They all regained their structure as they listen to what Serinuma has to say.

"There's no right or wrong way of saying this but...I care about each and everyone of you all very deeply," She said as her eyes trailed off into her eyes,"I care about each and every one of you that the thought of losing just one..," Her hands shook and everyone knew she was getting emotional.

"I know that what I'm going through isn't healthy. And I know you are all concern about me...But..," Serinuma paused as heavy tears feel from her face as she pulled her glasses on the top of her head as she used her bangy arm jacket to wipe the tears from her face,"It's just so hard..," She began to sob.

"It hard because I feel this so strongy to each and everyone of you and...not knowing if..Shinomiya is alive or dead..it's killing me!" She began to whipper and sob which stroked a cord in everyone's hearts.

This is it. This is the moment when the bubbly all for anything smiles Serinuma finally broke.

A mental brakedown wasn't the cause. Grief, sorrow and the cold longing to reunite played a desperate evil part of playing the waiting game. Waiting to find Shinomiya alive or Shinomiya's cold dead body. The chances was unknown.

"I am so worried...,"She paused as sher cring fit subsided and she felt numb,"The longer we don't know where or what happened to shinomiya...the more it feels like Shinomiya's chances of survival are slim," She said as her words haunted everyone's mind.

"We don't know that for sure..," Mutsuma said trying to cheer up Kae.

"I have the Tv on for hours and the computer on researching similar cases and the ending wasn't happy...," Serinuma her voice cracked as her throat sounded dry and somewhat deep from her loud crying from earlier.

Suddenly an image flickered on the tv screen which drew Serinuma's attention as she quickly reaserched for the remoute and turned on the volume.

"Breaking news," The TV Screen allured everyone's eyes to the tv screen as archer man narrated as particular pictures and clips had been aired.

"A woman's body was found just along an old motel building south of east highway J9, where an eyewitness reports seeing a man dragging a young boy into his trunk of his car. The man was driving a black mustang and was dressed with a black leather mask and his armed and considered to be dangerous. Police and other authorities believe this dangerous individual may be linked to the Hayato Shinomiya Kidnapping case. If anyone sees this man," A blurred surveillance picture had been resized for the audience to see a man with short slick black hair and wearing a black leather mask,"...Please call the local police station,"

The image has been burn to Kae's brain as she memorized each detail of that image. The image was slightly blurry but clearly you can make out a tall structure man of 5'10 and a med to fit body structure judging from the man who expanded his arm holding a pistol. Deep within Serinuma's heart.

No it can't be!? Kae thought to herself as a distance memory filled her head.

A faded image crawled into her head as she recalled the day of Shinomiya's disappearance. Recalling the fact she peeked through the small gap of the door as she recovered a memory.

~~A man with a black leather mask stood in Kae Serinuma's holding a knife as he approached Shinomiya.

The memory faded to black as she blinked into reality staring at that image on her television screen.

"That's him," Kae Serinuma said in a trembled fear,"That's the man...," Her voice shook as she stared with wide eyes,"...who stole Shinomiya!"

~***~

Like a thief in the night

I'm coming for your heart

I'm coming for your heart.

This time it's anything goes.

I guess I'm just a selfish ghost...

Satsuma stood wide eyes at the screen watch Shinomiya from the camera surveillance. He had a irritating twitch which meant he was either upset or past of breaking. That twitch was a nerve in his head the one splitting his personality disorder that grew more and more each day. He was jealous. As he watch Riku and Shinomiya's bond growing from acquiescence to friend status, he scratched the back of his neck prying at that old scam. He wanted to separate them, but he couldn't. Not if it met he would upset Shinomiya. But there was another part of him deep within that was selfish. He wanted to do whatever he desired to Shinomiya. But he held himself back. He could put that mask on and reflect his anger back, but what good is that if Shinomiya had already seen his face? No! He must need a sinister plan then that. Something that would break them apart for good. But how?

Of course! First, I must have to set an alpha status; who is most dominant? Yes, that'll work. Then I'll crush that Riku' Satoshi's spirit. And I know just how to do that... His thought trailed off into an insane laughter.

"So There's no other windows in this place?" Shinomiya asked with frown eyebrows.

Deep inside that bunker, Shinomiya and Riku resided in the living room quarter of the bunker. A room of two couches, a tv stand with an older tv and two large book shelfs which held dvds and movies which covered the wall on each side. There was a china cabinet filled with mangas and anime movies and shows with filled the class cases. There was a smaller bookshelf which held nicknacks and novel books.

A single old chair with a teddy bear sat in front on a book self.

"No there's nothing but this stupid PLACE!" Riku said with anger as he kicked a chair over.

Shinomiya stood leaning on his crutches has he looked hopeless,"How the hell are we getting out of here?" He said but then trailed off as he stared at his busted up knee.

Suddenly with loud footsteps and the sounds of keys dangling, they can hear their abductor coming in from above.

"Quick Shinomiya get behind me," Riku said standing firmly.

Shinomiya looked down at his keen and looked at his crutches as he signed, "No...There's no point to hiding now," Shinomiya said with a dull expression on his face.

Riku turned to look at him,"Shino-"

With a loud banging sound, the heavy metal door open then slam shut as footsteps raced down the steps.

"What's going on!?" Satsuma said as he looked around the room.

Riku stepped back as he studied Satsuma's appearance. He looked as if he was up all night without any sleep as he blinked tirelessly as his eyes shifted from items to item then back at Riku and Shinomiya.

"So you've deiced to do a little decorating huh?" Satsuma said as his eyes flickered to the knocked over chair and some of the furniture had been moved means to try to escape.

Riku stood his grounds as he clutched his fist almost in a fight or flight mood, but suddenly was startled by a hand which gripped his shoulder and with a firm push, pushed Riku out of the way.

"Shinomiya?" Riku muttered as he tripped over his own foot as he swiftly turned around to see Shinomiya facing his attacker.

"Satsuma...what do you see when you look at me?" Shinomiya asked out of the blue.

Satuma and Riku was stundded,"WHAT THE HELL!?"

Shinomiya held a serious expression on his face.

Satuma blushed as he turned his head,"What kind of question is that!?"

Riku stood there with an uncomfortable look on his face as he too wondered why Shinomiya would ask such a strange question. Where is he getting at?

"Do you see Isami Princess when you look at me? Or do you see me as a man?" Shinomiya asked seriously.

Satsuma busted into a laugh,"AHAHA!-You're too funny!" His laughter trailed off as he narrowed his head as he said,"As much as I want to reply to your question princess, I'm not here to chitchat. What I want is," His eyes flickered up as he pointed to Riku,"YOU,"

"EEEKK!?-ME!?" Riku was startled.

"I don't like the way you two are hanging around," Sutsuma began as he took a step closer and closer.

"EEHHH? Wh...what are you getting at...?" Riku said nervously as he tool a step back until his back hit a book self and he was cornered.

"Sutsuma!? What are you planning!?" Shinomiya exclaimed.

"You've abuse my kindness for too long. I could have killed you back in that car crash...." Satsuma's face changed. It was an expression Shinomiya remembered a glimpse of it when he still wore the mask. And that expression was Anger.

"You little punk!" He said as he took his fist and then landed him a good one right in the face. Riku fell hard, right on his face. He slowly picked himself up to lean on his hands which then Satsuma laid a really good kick right in the ribs. Spitting up blood and reaching for his stomach crawled into a fetal position, Riku groaned in pain.

"SATSUMA! STOP!" Shinomiya pleaded as he grabbed his forearm with all his might. What is he doing!? I have to stop him! Who knows what would happen if he gets too mad! Oh NO! Will he kill Riku? Why did I have to provoke him the way I did! Is he acting this way because of me? Shinomiya thought.

"If you don't let go I'll have to hurt you too, Shinomiya!" Satsuma cried out in rage.

"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?" Shinomiya cried out.

Satsuma grabbed Riku's neck as he pulled him up, squeezing his throat.

"STOP! LET HIM GO!" Shinomiya was persistent, he kept pulling and jerking Satsuma's arm. With a forceful shove Shinomiya fell hitting his head on the corner of the bookshelf. He fell hitting the ground hard.

With a loud THU---UUDD Satsuma turned to see Shinomiya on the ground. This action made him instantly dropped Riku as turned to Shinomiya who laid unconsciousness on the floor. Riku's vision became blurred as drifted in and out of consciences.

He watched as Sastuma's blurred image drifted in and out of focus. Satsuma picked Shinomiya into his large arms draping his head on his shoulder and a arm around his waist. Riku's eyes widen as he learned something.

"I'm sorry Shinomiya, my princess," Satsuma said as he wrapped his arms around Shinomiya tightly and held him close.

No way! Riku thought as he watched Satsuma exchanged his affection to the unconsciousness Shinomiya.

Satsuma's face was red and he held Shinomiya with care.

HIS IN LOVE WITH SHINOMIYA!?

Riku felt a rush of blood in his face as he suddenly felt awkward.

If Satsuma is really in love with him...Then why put Shinomiya through all of this ? Why did he become kidnap in the first place? And Why do you have to drag ME into it all!? Riku thought to herself.

But...As crazy as this guy is...I have a solution, Riku said as he raised an eye as a gleam of light illuminated his eyes to glow.

Maybe I have an advantage....all I have to do...is become a thief.
