Nami's Kidnapping

One Month Later-Kuna Estate

"I want those rocking horses ready for shipment. Well then...send those bouncy balls there into storage if they're deflated and why the hell are these aren't those Wee Wee Willy dolls not boxed? I told you all to do that a week ago!" Hiro panted, face red with rage as he conversed with his head of exportation using the audio lachryma. Hiro then hung up and looked up as Mashiro entered with his one month daughter in her arms.

"Something wrong, Hiro-kun?" Mashiro frowned. Nami gurgled happily, unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

"Those idiots at the company haven't readied our shipments yet so we're going to be behind schedule if they don't get off their..." Mashiro glared at her husband, silencing him as he was about to say a 'bad word' in front of his green haired daughter.

"Well, I can see you're a bit stressed. Come for lunch, Nami-chan is hungry, isn't that right?" Mashiro cooed. Nami giggled excitedly and Hiro bent down and kissed his daughter's forehead.

"Sure...come on, Nami-chan. Time for food!" Hiro yelled out, pumping his fist into the air.

"Foogooooo!" Nami yelled out in excitment as she copied her father's actions as he took her from Mashiro's arms and sped off towards the dining area. Mashiro shook her head, smiling.

"I swear, that man is like a child on the inside."

After eating lunch with his family, Hiro was about to head back to work when Runo walked up to him.

"Hiro-sama, that Devon man is here to see you again." Runo said with a scowl. Hiro chuckled at the older woman's expression before taking on a serious expression himself.

"Tell him I'm not home."

"Now why would you say that, Kuna-san?" Hiro and Runo turned sharply to see the short man, cigar and all, standing behind Runo.

"What the...how did you get in?" Runo exclaimed.

"The door was open so I thought I'd let myself in...now then Kuna-san, shall we talk?" Hiro led the shorter man to the study before reaching underneath the desk and pulled out a black briefcase.

"Here's your money, you bastard. Now get out." He snarled. Mr. Devon opened the briefcase and saw the large amount of Jewels in the case. The stocky man grinned widely, but paused. Mr. Devon sniffed the case and his face twisted into one of anger.

"Kuna...you're missing a whole two million Jewels." Hiro's eyes widened in shock.

'How...How can he do that?'

"You only have three million in this case...you owe the Devon Theft Family five million. I told you if you didn't pay the money by this time that there would be consequences." Mr. Devon snarled. Hiro's orange eyes widened in fear.

"No, please. Just give me a little bit more time. By the end of this week I'll have your two million, we're about to send out another shipment of producta to Freesia and Magnolia. You'll get your money, please." Mr. Devon shook his head.

"I told you, Kuna that I would get you if you didn't pay back the entirety of your loans. Seeing as you haven't...you better watch out." Devon grinned evilly before leaving the Kuna Estate. Hiro had continued to sit in his study chair before he walked out of the study and pressed a button and the communication lachryma activated revealing the head guard's image.

"Security, I want you to triple your efforts and the amount of people on the estate. There's been a threat against me and my family."

"As you wish, Kuna-sama. We will protect you and your family with all we have." The head guard said on the other end of the communication before saluting. Hiro nodded before taking his finger off of the button.

...

For one week, Hiro was on edge. His guards had not reported any intruders during the past week, but they continued their work. However, one night while Hiro and Mashiro were sleeping, a shadowy figure ran through the estate's large garden, easily knocking the guards unconscious with chloroform filled tissue being placed against their faces.

Once all the guards were knocked unconscious, the shadow stopped at the walls of the Kuna Mansion.

"Fire Magic: Sticky Fire!" A purple magic seal formed in the figure's hands and purple flames formed in his hands. The purple flames extended from the figure's hands and it latched onto the windowsill before the figure was pulled up. He pulled himself up and opened the window before entering.

"Target found." The figure pulled out the small communication lachryma from his pocket.

"Good, take the girl and get out. Mr. Devon told us that was all we had to do." The figure nodded and cut off the communication before picking up the month and a half old girl from her crib. Doing so gently so as not to wake her. The figure jumped back onto the windowsill and the moon shone its light on the figure's back revealing the symbol on the back. In a crimson colour there was the image of a knight's helmet with two lances crossing over each other beneath the helmet. The symbol of the dark guild, Black Knight.

The man jumped off the windowsill with Nami and vanished into the night.

The next morning, the entirety of the Kuna estate went into a panic...Nami Kuna had been kidnapped.
