I've had this story stuck in my head for a while and it's driving me mad! So I finally decided to write it down, though I think I have too many 'in-progress' stories...
Sigh...

Lost Forever?

Koaru's POV

"Did we lose them?"

"Yup, they're probably wandering the streets looking for us!" smirked Hikaru. My brother and I were always escaping the guards mum got to guard us; them tailing us made us feel claustrophobic, as if we were being suffocated. Not fun. So we took every chance available to escape them. Who can blame us?

"Shall we head home or enjoy freedom for just a bit longer?" I asked, grinning. Hikaru just laughed in response and headed down a road, a road that lead away from our house.

The street we were heading down was residential, flats on either side that reminded us of Haruhi's, but bigger; the space between each door seemed larger than that of Haruhi's house. Despite being residential, the street seemed deserted, silent.

Well. Silent except for the one van driving down the road.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. But then, nothing ever seems out of the ordinary. The black van screeched to a halt next to us and the back burst open. We hardly realised what was happening. Footsteps rang out. Figures stormed towards us. Surrounded us.

"Which one shall we get?" asked one of the figures. We couldn't see their faces. They'd covered them with biker helmets.

Two men brought up their guns and pointed them straight at me. Blood roared through my ears. "This one."

"KOARU!" Hikaru scrabbled to get to me, knocking men aside. The bang echoed through the street. The bullet made its path with deadly accuracy. No, not deadly. It can't be deadly. My brother can't die. That wouldn't happen. That wouldn't be real.

But what was happening in front of me was most definitely real. I watched helplessly as Hikaru crumpled to the ground, blood pooling around his limp form.

"HIKARU!" I screamed. "SOMEONE! HELP US!" I tried desperately to keep the men away but rough hands grabbed my arms.

I felt a tiny pin prick on my right arm.

Black spots filled my vision.

And as I lost consciousness I uttered "H-Hikaru..."

Head Bodyguard's POV

"Where are they?" I muttered. "HIKARU? KAORU?" I called. Mr and Mrs Hitachiin were going to kill me if they found that we'd lost those two again. I looked helplessly and my ten comrades. Each time the twins escaped we'd increase the guard, but they still managed to slip through our fingers.

That was when I heard it.

"SOMEONE! HELP US!" It was Koaru. Or was it Hikaru?

My men and I ran towards the sound, towards a deserted street. We got there just as Master Koaru (Hikaru?) was thrown into the back of a black van. We began to run but the van stepped on the accelerator and was away.

It was then that I noticed the pool of blood and the limp figure.

"Young Master?" whispered one of the new bodyguards, terror filling his voice.

Master Hikaru (Koaru?) was lying on his side, eyes shut. His chest was moving ever so slightly so at least he was alive. I turned him onto his back and examined the wound just below his left lung, the hole was large with a lot of burn marks around it, which meant that the bullet had been fired at quite close range.

I noticed something solid in the pool of blood at reached out to pick it up. It was the bullet. It had been squashed quite thoroughly, yet more evidence that the shot had been fired at close range.

I gritted my teeth, Mr and Mrs Hitachiin were going to have my head for this.

I pulled out my phone. "Ambulance please."

Koaru's POV

I groaned. My head was spinning as if someone had put it on a rollercoaster. Everything was coming back to me. The men. The gun. Hikaru.

I won't believe that Hikaru's going to die. It won't happen. It can't. I couldn't live without him.

My eyes flickered open. I was lying on my side in a metal cell. It was dark; the only light came from a single bulb in the middle of the ceiling that cast out very little in the way of brightness. The room was very bare, the only thing I could see was a single door set into the wall in front of me.

Footsteps clanged on their way (down?) towards the door and it opened with a creek, allowing a some more light into my empty cell.

I pulled myself into a sitting position, examining the man before me.

He was tall and muscular, he looked as if he would have no problem crushing me with one hand if he wanted to, his face was shaved, as was his head, but not so much that he was bold, instead he had little spikes of hear sticking out on his head, he looked like a porcupine that had been attacked with wire cutters.

He had a sleeveless, dirty top that had probably once been white. He was also wearing a pair of baggy, khaki green trousers. On his right arm I could see a tattoo of two dragons, entwined and breathing fire at each other.

"You're coming with me." he said gruffly, and I recognised his voice as the one who'd decided that I was the one to 'collect'. He reached out and grabbed me by the collar of my top dragging me along behind him as he made his way up the stairs.

I tried to struggle to me feet but he was moving too fast and I couldn't move fast enough.

He pulled me through endless corridors that were impossible to memorise. After what seemed like an age he stopped at a large steel door and knocked.

"Now you're about to meet the boss." He said gleefully before pushing open the door and dragging me through.

The man in front of me was not what I'd expected at all. He was short and wiry with large, round glasses, a volcano of spots and a dictionary clutched to his chest. He couldn't be older that seventeen. I blinked slowly.

"Oh! Hello Souta, is your father here?" The kid nodded and gestured to a room behind. The boy, Souta, looked at me with an expression of, was it pity? He left the room via a wooden door to my right and my eyes followed him as I was dragged forward to the boss (and my impending doom?)

Yazuha's POV

I stared through the glass window at Hikaru, his motionless form lay still in a bed, an uncountable number (fifteen) of tubes stuck out of his figure.

I had to blink to stop the tears from forming again. My baby. My poor baby.

And Kaoru was missing. I bit my lip. Why did those idiots have to escape from their bodyguards? Why?

My husband came forward and enveloped me into a large hug and before I knew it I was sobbing into his shirt.

-0000-

At least I managed to compose myself on the outside, but I was still crying on the inside. It was then that Hikaru moved. It was only a twitch but I stood up.

"Love?"

"He moved." Daichi stood up and looked at Hikaru who moved his head to the right.

"I'll go get one of the doctors." And with that Daichi hurried off down the corridor.

Hikaru's eyes flickered and then snapped open and I'm sure he said "Kaoru!"

Honestly, he gets shot and he's still worrying about his brother, those two are so alike.

A group of doctors brushed into the room with Hikaru and I could see him no more. I sat down heavily.

"What happened?" I whispered.

-0000-

I hadn't actually had the heart to so much as scold their bodyguards. They'd just seemed so helpless, and anyway, I don't think it would have mattered who they were with, those two always found a way to escape.

When the police knocked on the door I had no idea. None at all.

When they asked if they could come through to the living I think I began to think. But I still didn't realised.

When they said it was about the twins I convinced myself they'd just run off again. I refused to believe.

When they said what had happened I tried to shut them up. I didn't want it to be real.

When they told me Hikaru was at the hospital I had to believe. And I crumbled.

Lost. Desolate. My little babies.

At least the Doctors said that Hikaru's out of any danger now. He'll stay at the hospital (much to his annoyance) for another few day.

But we've no idea where Kaoru is. None at all.

Please, God, let him be ok. Please...

Me: I hope you enjoyed. All of my bullet facts in The Head Bodyguards POV are my fault (and my forensic science book's) if wrong. Next chapter-
Kaoru: YOU ARE NOT DOING THAT TO ME!
Me: Am too.
Hikaru: Ouch! Looks painful.
Kaoru: Just a bit!
Me: Well, anyway-
Twins: Review!
Me: THAT'S MY LINE!
Hikaru: Serves you right-
Kaoru: For what you're doing!
Twins: You fail!
Me: Oh for the love of-
