CHAPTER 62- Taken

Sakashi's heart began to beat fast as she was about to attempt a scream. She shut her eyes and opened her mouth "h....." she tried to call out for help and felt someone's hand muffle her mouth and wrapped his arm around her lifting her up until her back bent back lifting her legs and caused them to dangle from the ground. Sakashi began to kick and struggle. With her eyes shut she grabbed the man's arm and tried to break free. She slanted her eyes open and found another man with an animal mask on grabbing her wrists and zip tied them together. The man holding her down loosened his grip and slid a cloth into her mouth and gently placed a piece of tape over her mouth. Sakashi's eyes began to water fast as she wasn't sure what was going on. A sudden black bag was placed over her head and caused her vision to become dark. Sakashi then felt both men grab her arms and force her to walk alongside with them. She mumbled and tried to refuse to move forward. Unfortunately their force was strong and she found her feet being drug forward. They never spoke. They didn't even chuckle, she had no idea who these men were. 'Azusa.... where are you.' Sakashi thought to herself.

Back where Wesley, Luke and Azusa were, they finished talking. "Alright go and get your girl so we can get out of here.." Wesley told Azusa firmly. Azusa nodded and walked inside and walked out the back door and looked around. He felt something off. He knew and trusted sakashi would return. "Maybe she got lost?" He mumbled to himself Before he sensed something off in the air. He glared and looked around and noticed footprints. He knelt down and looked at them and followed them until he noticed Sakashi's footprints being followed by those other prints. He looked up and realized they came back and must have followed her. He glanced at a small device in his hand and realized kalebize was close by. To close in fact. He had placed a tracker in his pocket earlier for this very reason. He grit his teeth and ran back to Wesley and Luke. "They came back and took her. I'm going after her. You two just wait for us." He told them. "You don't want us to come with you?." Wesley asked. "No, just in case sakashi finds her way back.." he added. "You two go. I'll stay." Luke offered but Azusa still shook his head no. "Just stay ok. I found footprints I'll take her back quickly and end them!" He said before he took off running. Luke smirked. "You think he's back?" Luke asked. "If he kills them then yes, so let's still go and monitor. But let's go in about an hour if he's not back." Wesley replied. Luke smirked and chuckled.

Sakashi walked what felt like hours until she felt them stop and gently sit her down on the ground. They lifted the bag from her head and sakashi quickly adjusted her eyes. She could see she was close by city lights. And realized they are taking her back into town. She glanced up at the two masked men before looking down. One of the men knelt down and uncovered his face. "Sakashi? Please let me save you! I know somewhere in your heart you love me... don't you? " sakashi looked at the man and became wide eyed as she realized it was once again kalebize. Tears began to fall but then her face expression became furious. Kalebize sighed "please don't scream, I'm going to take your tape off so you can talk. But please know I will mute you if you scream." He told her as he gently peeled the tape off. The other man back up and decided to run back to keep an eye out for one of the magic stealers. Sakashi watched the other man leave as she took deep breathes. "Why? Why are you guys so persistent about saving me?? I don't want to be saved!!! I want to live my life with Azusa!!! If you truly loved me then you would learn to let me go!!! You wouldn't abduct me and kidnap my son!!" Sakashi started yelling at him in anger. "Let me go! I want Azusa! Ok!! He might be a wanted criminal but this is my life now!!." She demanded. Kalebize sighed and felt his heart break then suddenly kissed her firmly as tears left his eyes. Sakashi became wide eyed and struggled but with her arms restrained she couldn't push him back. She shut her eyes in anger. Kalebize pulled away from her and placed his forehead in her forehead. "Sakashi! Please come back to me! I need to keep my promise to you and help you remember who you are." He calmly told her. "No! I don't want to know! That's the past me! I want the new me!." She yelled at him more. Kalebize sighed and stood up straight and grabbed her arm and lifted her to her feet. "your coming home! I feel like he's got a mind control on you." He told her as he began stepping forward. "No he doesn't! I love him!!! He's given me several opportunities to leave but I chose to stay!!!" She told him firmly. Kalebize kept silent and kept walking pulling her along. For about thirty minutes they walked back towards the city. Sakashi kept silent in anger and wouldn't look at kalebize at all the whole time. Kalebize stopped and growled immediately wrapping his arm around her waist. "Come out already, I know your there! How did you find me so fast?." Kalebize suddenly spoke. Sakashi looked up and looked around, she got anxious as she saw Azusa stepping out into the lighting. Her eyes filled with tears and she tried to step towards him but felt a pull back firmly. Sakashi looked down and kept silent.

Azusa stood there in the light looking at sakashi. He could see she clearly didn't want to go with kalebize. She looked distraught and upset. He growled and looked at kalebize. "Can you not see you doing this to the girl you so call 'love' is hurting her? Look at her? How can her sorrow and sadness not make you want to just let her choose for herself? Unlike you I have given her a choice to go back to you or stay and each time she chose me! Isn't it time to let her go?." Azusa stated calmly. Kalebize glared and became angry. "You didn't answer my question! How did you find me so fast? And I know you are mind manipulating her! I know your using her and she's afraid to leave you. I have been her best friend practically her whole life! If anyone knows her well. It's me!." He yelled back. Sakashi slowly looked up at Azusa and mumbles. "Help me." Before looking back down. Her body looked famished and weak. She looked as if all life and light in her were dimmed and about to go out. She looked miserable and That only angered Azusa more. "I put a tracker in your pocket you idiot, but that's not the point now! First you kidnap our son and hurt her then force her away from me that she still chose! I may not know her all that well but I know her enough to know she doesn't want you anymore!." He yelled!

Kalebize placed his hand in his pocket and pulled out the small tracker and tossed it to the ground and looked at him then smirked recognizing a change in his personality. He didn't come off as dangerous and evil as he used to. . "You don't seem like the evil Azusa I know. Tell me, did she change you?" He asked firmly.

Azusa paused looking at him firmly. The wind blew as he stayed silent looking at kalebize firmly. Kalebize gently placed sakashi to the ground allowing her to rest. Sakashi still restrained just sat on the ground on her knees looking down weeping. Azusa looked at sakashi then back at kalebize. "You don't know me at all to question me like that." He replied calmer. Kalebize felt the tension drop and he knew something has changed. Kalebize smirked and folded his arms. "Oh then why do I see regret and heartbreak in your eyes instead of stone cold like before?"

Kalebize asked. Sakashi looked up at Azusa and calmly smiled at him. Azusa felt sakashi was telling him here's his chance to ask for help. Azusa closed his eyes and sighed looking down for a few moments before looking up at kalebize. With firm sharp eyes looking at kalebize he began to speak.
