Iwaizumi lay on his bed in the dark looking at nothing, no matter how he tried his brain wouldn't shut down, wouldn't allow him to drift into slumber. His head pounded, his eyes stung and he had a heavy feeling in his chest that was like something was crushing him. He also felt a seering hot bile rising from his stomach, he was a shitty person and he knew it how else could he explain what he had just done to his dearest friend.

He heard a pinging noise that indicated an incoming message on his cellphone and sighed lifting the object to eye level. It was from Makki asking if he was with Kawa, he ignored it. Seconds latter another message arrived this time from Matsun asking the same thing, again he chose to ignore it. He was becoming angry, he wasn't Oikawa's keeper, why couldn't they leave him alone. Shortly after his phone began blowing up with notifications so he picked it up and threw it against the wall leaving it a shattered heap on the floor. The boy closed his eyes and slept.

A couple of hours later he was jarred awake by an heavy banging at the door. He waited a little while to see if someone would answer it but then realised that he was alone. His parents had gone on vacation a few days before. He hoped that whoever had knocked had gone away but the banging just got louder. He got up and walked down the stairs whilst rubbing his eyes, the banging was continuous, "Ok, ok I'm on my way, calm down" he shouted, getting angrier by the minute. He grabbed the door handle and opened the door whilst getting ready to blast whoever was knocking.

There in front of him stood Daisuke and Kumiko Oikawa looking extremely distressed. "Auntie, Uncle, come in please. What's happened" the boy asked. The couple in front of him were Kawa's parents, his mother was sobbing whilst holding onto her husband tightly. "Hajime, have you seen Tooru?" The boy looked at them confused, "I saw him at practice, but not since. Has something happened?" he asked directing the couple to a seating area.

"He was due to collect Takeru from a play date but never arrived. We know that he can be a little forgetful at times but he would never knowingly leave his nephew, he's very responsible were Takeru is concerned. Everyone knows how much he loves him and no one has seen or heard anything from him". Iwaizumi had a very bad feeling, he knew that Oikawa would never willingly leave the boy.

"Have you contacted the Police" Iwaizumi asked. "Yes" Oikawa's father answered, " the team are out looking for him. They said that they tried to call you but couldn't get through". Iwaizumi felt sick, all this time his friends were trying to reach him about Oikawa disappearing but he chose to ignore them. "I'm so sorry but my phone is broken so I didn't realise what had happened" the boy lied. Just then Mr Oikawa's phone rang.

Iwaizumi watched the man trying to read his reactions and suddenly he saw something flash across his face. It was fear and shock, the man's wife noticed it too. "Please tell me what they said" she wailed. "The boys have found his phone smashed underneath a swing in the park down the road" he answered trying to hold in his emotions. "That's good" she smiled, "he can't be far away" but she could tell by the look on her husbands face that there was more. "There's blood too" he replied quietly, "alot of it". The woman sank to her knees sobbing loudly whilst her husband held her close.

Iwaizumi was horrified. The boy grabbed his coat and ran towards the door, "wait here" he instructed the couple, "I'll go and find out what's going on". The pair just nodded weakly.

As he reached the door he heard a knock, upon opening it he saw a tall, well built man with dark hair standing in front of him. "Are you Iwaizumi Hajime?" "Yes, who are you?"he replied. "I'm Detective Sawamura and I need you to come to the station with me to answer some questions about the disappearance of Oikawa Tooru".

Iwaizumi stood frozen in shock.
