Hangin' with some friends

He laughed and hugged her back, planting a kiss on her cheek.
"Well, someones happy to see me,"

Kurai smiled and sat back down on the couch.

"Well duh." She giggled, sitting back down on the couch and stealing a tub of vanilla Ben and Jerrys.

He chuckled.
"One for me there?"

Kurai tossed him a chocolate one.
"Of course, we wouldnt forget you,"

Suzu giggled, tucking into her tub. "I love ice cream."

"Hell, we all do,"
Kurai grinned, munching on her own ice cream as hayato sat next to Suzu.

"True that,"
He smiled.
"Hows the baby?"

"Fine," she smiled at him.

"Thats good, its developing quickly huh? or is that too much ice cream?"
He joked.

Kurai laughed.

"Mehh." Suzu playfully stuck her tongue out at them both.

"Awww, i'm sorry hun,"
He kissed her cheek.

"Heh, if anyones gonna get fat by ice cream intake, its gonna be ME!"
Kurai pointed at herself.

"You'll get brainfreeze, not fat." Suzu managed to snicker, leaning into Hayato.

He chuckled and put an arm around her.

"Well then, i'll miraculously find a way to be both!"
She smirked.

"Well, I'll miraculously find a way to make you NOT both!" Suzu grinned.

"Jeez, do you two ever stop,"
He smirked.

"Nope, we're like the quarelling sisters. We don't have an 'off' button,"

Suzu giggled. "Damn straight."

Freezing, her eyes widened and her sight snapped to the window.

Hayato tensed beside her, his hawk eyes also picking something up.
"Hold on a sec...I'm gonna go check..."
He slid off the couch and slipped out the door.

Kurai let a low growl escape her throat as a sharp scent caught in her nose.
"Its those scientist freaks who caught us before..."

"Not again..." Suzu whimpered.

Yelling was heard as Hayato tackled a few and two burst in the window. Kurai snarled and leaped from the couch across the table, turning straight into ther wolf form and pinning one to the ground while sinking her fangs into the others arm.
"Suzu! Run! You cant let them get the kid, now go!"

Suzu bolted, making her way outside and morphing as quickly as possible into her blue dragon form. Flapping her wings, she sped off into the forest, finding a clearing and changing back. She couldn't waste her energy. Panting a little, she hid.

About a half hour passed, and a rustling could be heard. Hayato stepped out, covered in scratches, cuts and bruises. He kneeled down next to her and hugged her tightly.
"Thank the gods you're alright..."
Just then, he was grabbed by the scruff of the neck and thrown against a tree, his back hitting the trunk with a painful 'thump'. The man who threw him grabbed Suzu roughly by the wrist as he gave Hayato a brutal kick to the side of the head.
"Stay down...Or we'll do to you what we did to your dog friend.."

"Hayato!!" Suzu panicked, trying to go to him. She winced as she heard and felt her wrist crack. She struggled around.

"Don't fight...We dont want to have to sedate you...That might damage the child.."
The man murmered, nodding to a comrade who appeared to dispose of Hayato. The other man picked him up roughly as another came into the clearing with kurai slung over his shoulder. Both Hayato and Kurai looked pretty beaten up, and it looked as if Kurai had been heavily sedated.
"Do what you want with them both...This one is coming back with us..."
He muttered as he took a tranquliser needle from his pocket and tried to inject it into the back of Suzu's neck.

Suzu felt her eyes grow heavy, and soon, she fell into darkness.

A few hours later..

The man who was carrying Suzu had successfully removed the child while she was out cold and she now lay in a crate, much like a giant dog cage, in what looked like a doctors operating theatre.

Suzu was stirring, and she could feel a stabbing pain in her abdomen. Shifting, her found she could barely move; it hurt too much.

The man grimaced as she woke.
"Dont move...It'll hurt for a good few hours..."
He shrugged.
"Just givin you a warning..."
He got up and left, shutting the door behind him and locking it.

A scratching could be heard at the window.
