“I'm telling you now. You don't get used to it.”

Reita shifted in his seat. He glanced over his shoulder. “What, getting kidnapped?”

Kazama stared up at the shadowed ceiling. The warehouse was old, long abandoned. Years of neglect had led to rust buildup that had eaten away through the metal sheets, allowing patches of sky to show through. “No, getting rescued.”

Reita stopped straining against his bindings. “Who said we're getting rescued? No one knows we're here.”

“Oh, she knows.”

Reita huffed. “You honestly think she'll come?”

Kazama tilted his head back until he bumped against the back of Reita's head. “You still doubt her?”

Reita bit his bottom lip. “...no.”

Kazama lifted his head and looked around. His ass had long since become numb. He stretched his legs out. “It's annoying. I've been rescued I don't know how many times. It would be embarrassing if it wasn't just plain ridiculous.”

“Can't you keep from just not getting kidnapped?”

Kazama snorted. “Oh, yes, because that really worked tonight.”

Reita felt his face flush. It had been ridiculously easy for the thugs to get a jump on him. It was only coincidence that Kazama had been in the area, and had decided to intervene. Not that it had prevented the inevitable, but Reita supposed it could have been worse. Well, it still could, since he was convinced no one had seen them get shoved into the nondescript van. It had been well past midnight when Reita had happened on the group of men. It was close to dawn now, and they were still here: tied to a pair of metal chairs in the middle of an abandoned warehouse who knew where.

Reita sighed, his shoulders slumping. “I wished this was over soon.” He blinked as a thought occurred to him. “Actually, I wished someone would explain why we were grabbed to begin with.”

There was a moment of incredulous silence and then Kazama said, disbelief clear in his voice. “Dude, are you seriously just now wondering about that?”

“Oi! I had other things on my mind,”Reita snapped.

Noise from somewhere in the warehouse distracted Kazama from retorting. He looked in the direction of the noise. Large wooden boxes block that side of the warehouse from view. “Well, here we go. Yankumi to the rescue.”

“Oh do you know it's...” A loud metallic screech sounded, cutting Reita off. This was followed by a deafening boom as something heavy fell. Several shouts sounded, as their kidnappers reacted to the sudden commotion. Then finally, the familiar dulcet tones of their favorite teacher:

“I'M THEIR HOMEROOM TEACHER! LET GO OF MY PRECIOUS STUDENTS!”
