~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It was the first day in weeks where Severus felt relativity normal. He didn't so much as think of Yuki or the order in a manner that was not
agreeable to him. He was going to go to number twelve, and do his job without the interference of feelings he had now decided, were just simple
counterirritant urges. Thats what he was calling them, the feelings he had had for Yuki. Nothing more but the things teenage boys felt.
He had also convinced himself that Yuki felt the same. That she was just caught up in him because he was there, trying to help her. But a
small part of him wouldn't let himself completely believe his theories, though he tried his hardest.
But Severus was determined to label his thoughts and feelings as false. And when Severus was determined of something, things went his way. He
would go see Yuki today, and act as he would have, had nothing ever happened between them. And it would be for the best, for both of them. He
had to put it behind him and he would. Severus would feel nothing.
Throwing on his usual black attire, Severus crossed the room to his window and looked out before he was to apperate to number twelve. Yesterday had been so nice; today it was raining.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
With her head painfully throbbing, Yuki's eyes began to flutter open when she finally started to wake. As she came too, the aching from her
head became immensely unbearable as she could now feel it. Groaning loudly, Yuki's hand shot up to the right side of her head. She felt the
large and hard lump that was the source of her pain. She put her hand down and pushed herself up ina sitting postion.
Slowly, Yuki became aware of her dark surroundings. Beneath her she felt a soft, flannel fabric of a thick blanket or two. She sat on a bed
that was barely big enough for even her, and when she moved about the old wood would creak. Across from the bed was a tiny dresser. With only
four drawers it stood about three feet off the ground and was only four feet wide. On the left side of the dresser was a door with a faded
bronze handle. To the left of the bed, on the wall, was a short and thin window. There were dark and dusty drapes hanging over it but a faint
light from outside still crept past. then on the right side of the bed, close to the wall with the dresser, was another door. It was the only
thing on the bare wall, making that side of the room plainer -if it were possible- then the rest.
As the memories of the night before flooded Yuki's thumping head, she realized where she was. The man from the alley had taken her, after
knocking her unconscious. Now here she was in a room that felt oddly familiar, wearing only a long black thin dress, tattered on the ends, with a
large and painful bump on her head. And with all the thoughts and fears going through her head, Yuki couldn't find one rational thought that
would tell her what to do now.
"Severus," Yuki cried into her hands as she saw how defenseless she was, "Help me."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As Severus walked into number twelve, he expected to enter into the usual bustle that went around, the childish youngsters and the sarcastic
remarks of his long time rival. But what he found when he entered was far from what he had expected. And Severus would have much rather he
walked into the house to face annoying children and Sirius' nasty comments. That, wouldn't have been so bad compared to what happened when he
entered.
The house was strangely quiet. There was no Molly, ushering children around, or yelling at an obnoxious Sirius. It was eerie. Severus walked
down the hall to the kitchen door. When he walked in he was greeted with heads turning to inspect the intruder. This was definitely not what
Severus had expected to see.
Molly was sitting next to a very sullen Ginny, lovingly rubbing her back. Next to Ginny sat Hermione, slow tears falling from her eyes down
flushed cheeks. Ron, next to Hermione, looking just the same as Harry, both with blank expressions, looking downcast at the table. Across the
table from them was Tonks, looking like Hermione, even through her bright red hair. Remus sat next to Tonks, his hands fiddling with the mug
before him. The light colored hairs on his arms were standing up and his long, thin fingers shook slightly( the full moon was coming up) And
next to Remus, and closest to Severus, was Sirius. Looking just as blank as the other boys, if not a little angry.
"Whats going on?" Severus asked.
"Like you don't know?" Sirius mumbled.
"No Black I don't," Severus snapped, having heard Sirius' whisper.
"She-shesss, gon-gone," Hermione hiccuped.
"Who is gone?" Severus asked, though the weight now in his stomach told him who she had meant.
"Yuki," Molly spoke up. "She's left."
"Left!? What do you mean left!?" Severus said, raising his tone slightly.
"Gone. Not here. Bye bye," Sirius said. "She's gone and it's your fault."
"Sirius," Remus warned.
"No!" Sirius snapped at his old friend. "I bet it is his fault."
"Sirius, Severus has nothing to do with this," Remus challenged.
"Yeah right," Sirius chuckled. "He thought she was a spy from the beginning."
"I admit I was wrong," Severus growled, bitting his tongue.
"Yeah, but we weren't wrong about you," Sirius said snidely. "You always had it in for her. What did you do with her?" he asked calmly.
"Sirius just stop this, Dumbledore will be here soon," Remus said, placing a hand on Sirius shoulder.
Flicking Remus' hand from him, Sirius stood up defiantly. "What happened Severus? Did she turn you down? Did your attempts to seduce her fail
and when you couldn't take it, you took her?"
"I would stop talking this nonsense if I were you," Severus advised.
"Did you give her to your precious Dark Lord?"
"Sirius," Remus warned, no longer looking at Sirius but covering his face in his hands, knowing that Sirius wouldn't stop.
"How just like you Snivlly," Sirius continued, "when you can't have what you want, you take it."
Severus had bitten his tongue so hard that he could taste blood. He so wanted to say something to Sirius but all he could think about was
Yuki. Where was she? Was she ok? Would she be back?
"You never could handle losing," Sirius continued. "I bet that was why Morgan left you."
In an instant, Severus balled his fist and hit Sirius in his right eye. Severus was not a fighter, not like this, but he couldn't help it,
and it was about time. Sirius, so shocked with Severus' actions, placed his hands over his eye and sat back down. Everyone was looking
dumbstruck at Severus and Sirius, not believing what had happened. Everyone had expected Severus and Sirius to duel at some point, but not like
this.
"Never, talk about her," Severus growled, his fist still tight as his knuckles began to turn white.
As the room waited for something else to happen, for Sirius to retaliate, the door to the room opened once more and Dumbledore came in.
Everyone was happy for his arrival, sparing them from whatever Sirius was to do back to Severus.
"Take a seat Severus," Dumbledore commanded. And without taking his eyes off of Sirius, Severus conjured a seat for himself and sat on the
other side of Tonks.
"So, we all know why we are here this morning," Dumbledore began.
"Are we going to find her?" Ginny bluntly asked.
Dumbledore turned to Ginny, a weak, and fake smile gracing his old and thin lips. "I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know?" Hermione shouted. "We have to. She's gone."
"With the information Remus gave me, and after looking around, it is my believe that Yuki left of her own free will. Since she did not
belong here, and was only staying so we could help her, she had every right to leave."
"Yes but," Tonks thought for a moment, "we can't just let her go like that. She still doesn't know who she is."
"Yes Nympandora," Dumbledore sighed, "but, she wanted to go, if we find her, we can not bring her back if she does not want to. It was her
choice."
"But we have to know where she is," Harry spoke up in a low and calm voice. "She could be in trouble."
"Ww will not just let this be," Dumbledore told him. "We will find Yuki, if she wants to be found, and make sure she is alright. But as I have
said, what she does is her choice. We must accept her decision."
Seemingly satisfied, and knowing that that was that, everyone accepted Dumbledores decision. They went back to as they were before he came, with a few less tears though, and Dumbledore rose from his seat.
"Severus, if I may have a word with you." Without waiting for a reply, Albus left the kitchen and walked down the hall.
Not looking at anyone in the kitchen, Severus quickly followed the head master, still trying to take in what he had been told.
"Severus, I did not want to say this in front of everyone, so please keep this between us for now," Dumbledore told him. "While I believe Yuki left of her own will, I do not think we should just leave her be. If what you have told me from her memories is true, someone could be looking for her. We need to find her before they do. And if they already have, well..." Dumbledore trailed.
"Sir?" Severus asked after Dumbledore paused for a time.
"Can you recall everything you saw in her mind, and try to decipher it? It may help if we know who was looking for her, and in that case, we will know where she may be, were she found. I'm going to tell a few or the other order members. I'm sure Remus and Tonks would be happy to help. They can go around asking anyone if they have seen her. We won't just leave her be."
Severus, who hadn't really listened to the older man, looked into his eyes expressionless. He still couldn't believe Yuki was gone. And to where, he'd never know.
"Severus?" Dumbledore said. "We will find her."
"Yes headmaster."
Albus smiled at Severus and turned to leave. Severus stood in the hall of number twelve for what seemed like a long time. He thought his mind was playing tricks on him. He had expected to come to number twelve and see Yuki, he had not come to think she would be gone. And it was now, more then ever, that Severus hated himself. It was his fault, he thought. He drove her away, he made her feel she had to leave. When he tried to push her away, when all he wanted was to keep her away from him for her own good, she left. And now, all Severus wanted, was her back. He wanted her back with him, where she would be safe, and he would not be so alone. But it was too late. Yuki was lost.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As she lay crying into the dirty blankets for some time, Yuki grew more tired and weak from her emotions. She looked up and wiped away her tears, trying to bring the room back into view. Attempting to think quickly, Yuki's eyes traveled the room fro something to do, some way to get out. She looked over to the two doors, and then to the window. She could go through one of them. Even though Yuki knew she could get up and go to one of the doors, she stayed glued to the bed, tears still filling her eyes.
Before she had time to take a course of action, a hard and slow tapping could be heard. It sounded from the right wall, coming from the direction of the door. Someone was coming. As more fear and panic over took her, Yuki crawled back against the old headboard of the bed. The footsteps were louder and when they got to the door, they stopped.
Nothing happened. No one came in, they just stood there. As much as Yuki didn't want them to come in, she wanted the relief of knowing who was there as the suspense was killing her.
Just when she was beginning to think that they were gone, or that no one was ever really there in the first place, the door handle began to slowly turn with a slight squeak resounding in the room, and the door opened.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
There it is. You must hate me for still not revealing who the hell took Yuki. But you'll find out something about them in the next chapter.:) hehehe. You won't have to wait too long. Anyway, please leave me a review, say anything, anything at all because no one seems to be reviewing anymore. So thanks to Leonora and June who always review.:) You guys are the best.^.^
