Heart of Duty Vol 1 Chapter 17

It had been about a week since the incident with Suguru's powers losing control. He became increasingly more possessed by this dark energy inside of him. He began to get more distant from all of his friends and when he was by himself, it seemed as if he was plotting something but the others didn't exactly know what it was. They tried to find out but to no avail. They tried spying on him but always got caught. They tried to see if there was anything he would tell them about his new powers that he got recently but he has been very secluded from the world so it was impossible to even see Suguru let alone talk to him.

One day the psychic boy was in his room writing a letter. He seemed like he wasn't going to stay with the group anymore considering he knew that this dark energy would be released any day now, he knew that the best thing for him to do was to spare them the suffering and deal with this problem on his own.

He wrote and he wrote until he was finally finished he then read it hoping it gave enough clarity.



Dear friends,

It hurts me to do this but I'm afraid that if I stay with you any longer, you will all be in danger. So I must protect you by leaving. Forgive me but it must be done I cannot bear the thought of putting you in harms way. Do not attempt to look for me for I do not want to be found.

Farewell my friends.



Then after that he slipped the letter in Hiro's room and gathered all of his belongings. He took one last look at the hotel that he and his former comrades stayed. Then after that he began to walk from the inn. Not looking back a second time. It was painful for him to do but deep down he knew that he was doing the right thing. It made no sense for his friends to get hurt because of that thing inside of him.

The next day Hiro woke up and realized that his lover was not next to him. That of course did not surprise him since it had been day s since the couple slept in the same room however things changed when he found the not e beside the door. He couldn't believe what he was reading. He was devastated to find out that the man he loved has left.

He quietly snuck out of the hotel in hopes of finding his Suguru. He knew that somehow suguru hadn't gone too far. All he had to do was search the town and the forests and maybe he would find him. When he was going all over the town he ran into his newest companion, K. Surprised and suspicious, Hiro questioned the former soldier.

"What the hell are you doing here?" he asked. Then K gave him a similar suspicious look.

"I should be asking you the same question." He remarked. "why are you running around town all by yourself?"

He knew he was busted and there wasn't very much that he could do about it. The best thing he could do was explain the situation and move on.

"I found this by my room door." Hiro said handing the letter to K. the former soldier read it and saw that Suguru had left the group because of what he told the others.

"So this is why you snuck out of the house." The blond man confirmed then he saw the distraught look on the magicians face. He could tell that this was something that he wasn't used to. Having someone he loved lose control of his powers and then leave him. It seemed as if it were too much to bear.

"I can help you find him and I can get him some help." He resolved.

"Why should I trust you?" Hiro asked. "How do I know you won't lead me into an ambush?"

Then without fail K told him the golden reason that he was the only person that Hiro could trust for such a delicate mission.

"I know this Kingdom a lot better and I know where your friend may be. If I'm right, then Suguru must be trying to fix that problem with his powers right?"

"Well, Yeah." Hiro agreed. Then after that they searched the town for their missing friend but there was no sign of him. They then went to a little hut just outside of the town to see if Suguru may have stopped there.

"Greetings, young heroes." A shaman said after the men entered. They weren't' about to waist anymore time, it was time for them to find their friend they were as polite as possible asking the shaman about Suguru's whereabouts.

"Excuse us, have you seen a young boy around her?" K asked. "About this high, has black hair. I believe he wears a black and red tunic."

"Alas my friends, I have not." The shaman said. Then he stood up walking towards the two men. It looked like they were in deep trouble at that moment.

"And I fear that you will not be seeing him either." He said then he removed his mask and revealed bright glowing blue eyes. HIro and K both screamed before being turned into statures.



Back at the hotel Shuichi and Eiri had just woken up from well, about six hours of sleeping. They looked around the inn and noticed that none of their friends were anywhere in sight. They searched the whole inn and then went out to the town to find them but they were nowhere to be found.

"Found them yet?" Eiri asked.

"No." Shuichi said. "I can't believe that they would just disappear."

But prior to their search, EIri saw that Suguru had packed all of his things and left, but hiro hand K never took anything, plus Hiro left his wand. He never ever left his wand.

"I don't think they just disappeared." Eiri concluded

"What do you mean?" the warrior asked.

"I think they may have been kidnapped." .the prince said.
