Comments - Kurara has decided she's gonna kill You-ya for his nifty
pants (they're see through!!! gah!). Anyway.... I'm glad there's
some response to this fic ^^ and, of course, I wasn't gonna have
Toshiya and Kaoru in it, but they're in there for VM ^^
And, Anna, it's okay ::laughs:: it's in this part anyway...

Die cringed as Shinya continued to sing along with the CD the blonde
had put into the player. "'I'll never be your woman! Nee nee nee
nee ner...'"

Die groaned and sighed in relief as that song ended, but then laughed
as the next one came on and sung along with Shinya out of sheer
boredom. "'Do you really wanna HURT ME? Do you really wanna make-me-
cry?'" He laughed with Shinya as they both sung off key to the
song. "You make weird CD mixes Shinya... I would've never
guessed..."

Shinya smiled and switched the song, beginning to sing along. "'Nuh
nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh... Johnny's in America no tricks at the wheel...
No one needs anyone they don't even just pretend... Johnny's in
America... I'm Afraid of Americans! I'm afraid of the world! I'm
afraid I can't help it! I'm afraid--'" Shinya laughed more.

"And Bowie? What goes on in that pretty head of yours?"

Shinya frowned. "Pretty?"

Die turned and smiled to Shinya. "Yep. You're pretty." He turned
his attention to the road again Shinya bopped him on the
head. "WHAT?? You are..." Die shrugged.

Shinya stayed quiet for a while, then groaned and looked through his
bag and glove compartment.

"What are you looking for?"

"Food..." Shinya frowned at Die. "Why didn't you steal food while
you kidnapped me?"

"Because my gun isn't intimidating."

"If it's enough to kidnap me, then I think it's enough to get food."

"Wanna see it? Then you'll see how intimidating it is."

Shinya shrugged. "Whatever." He closed his eyes, but felt the air
shift as Die put something in front of his face. When he opened his
eyes, he saw... "A Butterfinger?"

"That is what I kidnapped you with."

Shinya took the candy and held it in his hands. "You mean..." Die
nodded and Shinya hit his arm. "You really ARE a clown!" He made
the seat go back into a laying position as he ate the candy.

Kaoru frowned as he listened to the cop who was at the scene.
Apparently, no one knew what direction the car had went in or
anything. The only thing they knew was the description of the car.
He sighed and called up the HQ. "Yeah... I think we have to use the
media... have them put over the radio the description of the car and
call us if they come across it..."

Shinya yet again looked uncomfortable and Die looked to him. "What's
up?"

"I need... I need to go pee..."

Die laughed. "So do I..." They stopped off the side of the road and
Die put the keys in his pocket. "I love these desert roads... no one
goes on them..." So, the two men turned opposite directions and did
their thing, but after, Shinya began to walk off. "Hey! Shinya!"
Die ran to catch up to him, but Shinya ran faster. "Mou!" Die
frowned and picked up a rock, aiming carefully and throwing it,
causing it to hit Shinya's leg.

"OW!" The blonded yelled while reaching down to rub his leg, but he
forgot he was running and tripped. Die laughed as he caught up. He
held out a hand to help Shinya up, but Shinya just slapped it
away. "Leave me alone..."

"I kinda can't... you see, without you in the car, they won't be so
careful with it if they catch up..."

"I don't wanna be your hostage! I don't want any of this!"

"Do you want to go home?" Die asked quietly.

Shinya opened his mouth, but then closed it. He hugged his knees and
frowned. "Not really... no... no..." He shook his head. "I don't...
but I don't want to be your stupid hostage either!"

Die smiled. "You're not a stuipd hostage. You're a smart hostage.
Now, let's go before you get your pretty pale skin all burnt."

"Don't call me that..." Shinya whispered.

"What?"

"Pretty."

Die blinked in confusion. "Why not?"

"Because... no one calls me that... so you must be lying..." Shinya
got up and walked back to the car without another word.

Die yawned. It was pretty tiring driving like that, and he saw they
were running out of fuel. "Damn..." He saw that the next town was 5
miles away, so he frowned. "Come on... make it till then..."

"Are we making a stop?"

Die nodded. "We're gonna gas up and are you still hungry? I can run
in and get you something."

Shinya nodded. "Can you get me ice cream? Chocolate nut."

Die laughed. "A thin thing like you actually eats ice cream?"

"Everyday!"

Die shrugged. "And I hardly eat and look at me... I'm all chubby..."
he poked at his stomach.

"No... you're a good weight... I think you look good that way..."

Die shook his head. "Whatever... I'm still baby-fat-full..."

//But, it's kinda cute...// Shinya shrugged.

//He's such a delicate boy... I wish we met on other
circumstances...// Die got off at their stop and soon they found
themselves at a gas station. Die got out and pumped gas before going
in and buying ice cream for Shinya and then some bags of chips and
some sodas for the rest of the trip. //Since we're taking a VERY
long way to TJ... I guess we'll need all of this...//

Die got out and got back into the car, giving Shinya his ice cream
and putting the bag near Shinya's feet. "A whole box! Thanks!"
Shinya smiled and they drove off again.

Then, Die did something bad... he lit a cigarette. Shinya grabbed
the cigarette right out of Die's mouth and threw it out his
window. "NO SMOKING! You said you weren't gonna kill me and
cigarettes kill!"

Die looked at him with his mouth agape. "What?"

"If you INSIST on smoking, then pull over and smoke outside of the
car, but then you better spray something strong to get the smoke
smell out!"

"Hey, who's the hostage?"

"Hey, who's car is it?"

Die frowned. "Fine." They pulled over again and Die sat on the hood
of the car while smoking. Shinya smiled proudly on the inside as he
continued to eat his Chocolate Nut Ice Cream.
