Loving the Enemy

Chapter 18

My eyes shot open and I am met with a bright warm light. When my eyes adjust I look at my surroundings. I am in an office, there are two doors, one right behind me and one to my right at the far corner. I am in a comfortable leather chair but my hands are tied behind the chair. When I look right in front of me I am surprised by what I see.

Hidekazu Ono. His head is on the table and his arms hang loosely by his side. He must be dead by the looks of it. His face is as white as bleach and there is some black and blue bruises on his face.

I once again look around and start planning how to get out. The ties are poorly tied so it will be easy to get out of them and it will be easy to break one of the locks of the door, if it is locked.

"Vanessa? Seb? Anyone?"

Fuck. My com was taken, too.

I get to work with the ties. I am almost finished when an all too familiar voice stops me.

"Anna. You're awake." She sounds relieved and happy. My eyes widen and my words get stuck in my throat when I turn around and see her.

"Kiyoko?!"

She eagerly nods her head with a big grin on her face.

Tears threaten my eyes and through blurry eyes I see her tears already running as she walks to me and sets the water bottle she brought with her on the table. She goes behind me and finishes the almost undone ties. I instantly jump up and hug her as tight as I can.

"Oh god. I can't breathe."  I chuckle at her comment and lean back, wiping a tear from her face before taking a look at her.

She changed a lot. Her once long black hair is now short and blond. She for sure looks older now and not like a kid like she did when she was 16. Her smile is still as beautiful as it was. It could bloom the whole fucking world.

"Sorry for the tying you to the chair. It was just... When we saw you we didn't know how to approach but then you went into the bathroom and it was the perfect opportunity but then I saw these two Ninjas and I killed them then brought you here and then-"

We?

"It's alright. I'm just happy to see you. But-"

"Hey, Kiyoko is-"

I turn my head to the door and stare at him in disbelieve.

He let's out a breath before he storms toward me and engages me in a tight ass hug.

"Daishi. I can't breathe." I wheeze and I hear a small laugh from Kiyoko who gives me the 'now you know how it feels' face.

I let out a breath but seconds after my face drops.

"What?"

I glare at him. I swing my hand back and slap him hard across the face.

Uuuu. That looks like it hurts.

Kiyoko hisses in pain for his brother as he whines. "Oww. What the fuck was that for?!" he rubs smoothing circles on his cheek to soothe the pain. But I believe that won't help.

"You fucking left us without saying a thing. We couldn't find you guys anywhere. Couldn't contact you. You worried us to death. We thought you were dead. I tortured a guy because I thought he killed you." I shout at them.

"Why would you do that?" He asks quietly and scarred.

Yeah bitch. You better be scared.

"We had to torture information out of him anyway but that doesn't matter now. What the fuck were you thinking?!" I look between the both, who look at the floor in shame.
