Catherine: I refuse to have anything to do with this fic after this! Kathrine can keep it. Poor Seiji! I can't believe you!

Kathrine: I finally got my wish and you know you can't stop me now.

JC: I really feel sick.

Catherine: I can't even stay here anymore. (Runs off to cry in her room and JC runs to the bathroom.)

Kathrine: Well, I like it anyway. Oh and I would like to thank Wildefyre and PL Nunn for this fic. They're stories gave me quite a lot of inspiration. And I would also like to thank the wonderful Amyeyl for drawing such a gorgeous picture of Anubis for me. Can't wait for Seiji!

Confession for the Heart

By JC and Kathrine

( JC does not acknowledge any helping with the ending of this chapter)

Touma's eyes widened in fear, but he could see far worse in the eyes of the Masho. He knew that all the armors had a bond and that the five Troopers were specially linked, thought it seemed Yami's link surpassed that of the yorois. " Where is he?" Touma asked.

" He was waiting for me at a table," Anubis replied in a shaky voice. His breaths were evening out, but the pain in his chest was still there. He had to get back into the club and find Seiji.

Shu and Shin were just staring in confusion, not knowing how to take any of the clips of information. How did Seiji get into all of this? Shu was about to ask when Anubis finally stood and walked back into the club. Touma was about to follow him but the azure-haired Trooper took this chance to grab his lover's arm.

" What the hell is going on?!" he demanded to know.

" We've all been asses, that's what!" Touma's face was stricken with worry. " Seiji' been with Anubis all this time and we pushed him away, not the other way around. I'm found Seiji and Anubis inside and yelled at him. Now I'm afraid he's done something stupid."

" Backtrack here for me," Shu sighed. " How did we push Seiji away? Why would he be with Anubis? They hate each other."

" Hate my ass their lovers!" Touma growled. " And we pushed him away by being selfish and not truly trying to help him when we should have!" With that he pulled away and went into the building, leaving the other boy stunned.

Shin patted Shu and the shoulder, " It'll make more sense in a bit." The two nodded to each other and went into the club. Neither of them saw the black car that drove out of the alley next to the club a head down the street.

Anubis growled deep in his throat when he reached the table and Seiji was gone. All that was there was a spilled glass of something that was leaking onto the floor. " Kuso!" he cursed as he pounded his fist onto the table. A noticeable dent was left when he felt someone come up behind him.

" Was this where you left him?" Touma asked.

" Yes!" Anubis was getting truly frustrated. He knew Seiji wouldn't leave without him and someone had to have had something to do with this. That's when he noticed the strange smell in the air. His sensitive nose picked up a smell he couldn't identify in the area near him. His continued to sniff it out and came to the liquid dripping off the table.

" What is it?" Touma asked as he watched the swordsman looked around. Then he saw the curious look he gave when staring at the beverage that was spilled over the table.

" There's something added to this," Anubis replied.

" Nani?" Touma raked his finger in the drink and brought it to his lips. He lightly licked some of it with his tongue and quickly wiped the rest off with his hand. " It's a sedative!" he shouted.

" A what?" Anubis had never heard the word before.

" It's a poison that puts people to sleep for a while," Touma clarified in terms he knew a man that lived with a venom-obsessed warrior for four hundred years would understand.

" Someone poisoned Seiji?!" the man couldn't keep his anger in check.

" It looks that way," Touma sighed. Now he felt really guilty for yelling at the blonde.

" Touma!" Shin's voice was heard. Touma turned to see the brunette and azure-haired companion coming towards them. " Did you find something?" he asked.

" I think someone drugged Seiji and took him out of here," Touma stated. " There was sedatives in the soda on the table and Seiji won't drink alcohol."

" What do we do? How are we going to find him?' Shu asked.

" Someone knows what happened," Anubis replied. He could smell the fear coming from in the club and that the person was close. He looked around and saw that someone was staring at him. I was a waitress with short black hair that came above her ears. She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye while serving a table near them, but quickly turned away when his eyes met hers. He watched her walked to the back of the counter and hurry through the door behind it.

" I think I found our witness," he growled.

" Who?" Shin asked.

" How would you get out of the building if you went through that door?" Anubis pointed to the way the girl had left.

" Only through the back that leads to the alley," Touma answered.

" Good," Anubis gave a smile that the Troopers knew well from their battles. The swordsman forced through the crowd and they followed him out of the club.

She looked around, but saw no one and gave a small sigh of relief. I knew I shouldn't have listened to him, she yelled at herself. I knew that his boyfriend was the jealous type that'd get pissed. She turned to corner of the alley to walk home and was met with a hand to her throat. Her brown eyes widened as they met darkened blue that had a hidden rage within them.

" Where is Seiji?" the blue-haired man growled.

" I don't know who you're talking 'bout," she tried to twist away, but he held her firmly against the brick wall.

" Anubis! Let her go!" Shu gasped when he and the others walked into the alley.

" Not until I get my answers," he stated. Then he turned his glare back to the girl and repeated, " Where is Seiji?!"

" I don't know any Seiji!" she squealed in fear. " Honest!"

" The blonde at the back table," Anubis clarified and then warned her. " I might not be a man to hurt a woman, but if you don't tell me where he is I'll…"

" He went with Caril," she blurted. " He left with Caril!"

" Who is this Caril?" Anubis asked.

" He's this guy that comes around every few days to look for a date," she said. " He took a liking to your blonde earlier tonight, but didn't talk to him until after you left."

" Seiji wouldn't have left with him," Shin said. " He's not one to just go off with some guy he'd just met."

" There was probably somethin' in that drink he told me to give him," she said. " He paid me an extra fifty bucks not to tell him it wasn't the drink he'd originally ordered. I just thought he was playing secret admirer."

" Where does this Caril live?" Anubis loosened his grip on her throat.

" I don't know," she shook her head. " I just know he usually shows up in an old black Chevy. When he does pick up a date though they don't show up around here again for a long while if at all."

" Why?" Touma asked.

" Don't know," she shook her head. " Now please, let me go." Anubis let her drop back to the ground and she took in deep breaths of air. She crawled away from him and stood to her feet.

" I shall kill you if he is hurt," Anubis warned her. " Believe that or you won't live very long." The girl's eyes widened and she ran down the street.

" How could you do that to a woman?!" Shu growled.

" I got what I needed and shall get more," Anubis replied. " I could tell she was lying and she will probably find a way to contact this Caril. If she values her life that is."

" You weren't serious about hurting her, were you?" Shin asked. Anubis looked him in the eye and the brunette warrior hoped he'd never find out if he were.

" Someone needs to follow her," Anubis said.

" I will," Touma volunteered. " I can stay behind her and listen in from a distance if she talks to anyone."

" Good luck," Shin caressed his cheek before Touma began walking in the same direction as the girl had gone.

" Korin," Anubis realized. " We need Korin."

" Why?" Shu asked.

" It will lead us to Seiji," Anubis answered. " The link was never severed and so it will come to him."

" But the yoroi is at Nasuti's," Shin explained. " We would have to go back and get it."

" Do it," Anubis' eyes were darkening even more. " We have to find him."

" Where are you going?" Shin asked.

" Home to get Yami," Anubis answered as he walked away in the opposite direction.

" I'm still confused at all of this," Shu sighed.

" Don't worry love," Shin told him. " We better get going. Who knows what could happen to Seiji. This Caril might hurt him or…"

" We better hurry," Shu said as his eyes widened in fear. The two quickly walked across the street to where they had parked Nasuti's jeep.

*****

Everything was blurry and he couldn't collect his thoughts. He realized he was standing, but didn't know against what. He slowly opened his eyes and could tell at least that there was very little light in the room. His head throbbed and he couldn't seem to move his arms or legs. Shuddering from the chill, he let his half-clouded eyes searched the room. He felt the need to throw up with the disgusting taste that remained in his mouth.

" I'm glad you're awake now," a cold voice seemed to laugh. " I'm a little surprise you awoke so early, but it actually is a good thing. I hate to wait."

" Nani?" Seiji whispered in a hoarse voice. His vision settled finally and he could tell now whom he was staring at. It was the guy from the bar that had made the pass at him. He was confused until he remembered the arms that had caught him well fell and the dark-haired figure he'd seen.

" You drugged me," Seiji stated.

" Why yes," the man smiled. " You were uncooperative so I had to take the proper measures to subdue you."

" But…" Seiji began.

" Bad boy," the man reached out and smacked him hard across the face. The blonde's head was knocked into the hard surface he was held against and he grunted. " You don't talk back to your master," the man growled.

" I don't have a master," Seiji replied only to receive another smack across his cheek.

" So the slave thinks he is free now, does he?" the man cracked a blood-chilling smirk. " I guess I'll have to retrain you."

Suddenly, whatever the blonde was against moved as he was pushed closer to the insane man who had abducted him. The man pulled something from behind his back that made Seiji's eyes open wide. It was a black-handled metal whip. " What are you…" he started.

" Shut up!" the dark-haired man shouted. " Now you must receive your 'punishment'." He set the whip down on a table near him and picked up a large knife.

" Please no," Seiji shook his head. " Don't do this."

" Begging might make me happy, but it won't detour your 'punishment'," the man smiled. " You have to learn your lesson."

He held the hilt of the blade tightly in his hand and reached his other hand out to touch Seiji's bare chest. The blonde hadn't even realized it was missing until he felt the roughness of the other's hand against him. " You truly are beautiful," he whispered. " But even the beautiful must be purged of the vanity."

With that he put the blade to the blonde's chest and dug into it with force. Seiji clenched his teeth so that he wouldn't scream, but couldn't help it when he felt the man drag the knife down his skin. HE, on the other hand, seemed to like the sight of the blood dripping down his captive's beautiful ivory skin. HE moved the blade to the other side of his and proceeded to do the same, listening happily to the boy's screams.

Anubis…Seiji tried to keep his mind off the pain. Please love, help me. I need you so much right now.

A/N: I had to step in! I couldn't let her spend five pages on torutring Seiji. Please forgive me for letting it get that far.

Kathrine: You evil Bitch! How could you stop it right there?!

JC: I let a monster touch my fic! How can you call me evil after what you're doing to Seiji?!

Kathrine: He needed some more pain. Angst is not enough!

JC: I'm going to kill you if anything else happens to him!

Kathrine: You think that will upset me? I can just haunt the brain for the rest of your natural life.

JC: My life isn't natural to begin with, I freakin' split personality!

Catherine: (Sighs as the bickering between the two personas continue.) Please leave a review. I know she's going over board, but please review anyway.
