It has been exactly four years since Kyoya Ohtori graduated from Ouran Academy and since then he hadn't spoken or seen any of his friends from the host club. Now he was twenty one, he would be twenty two in a few months time. Since his time out of school a war had broken out. Kyoya's father wanted to run Japan his way and once the Ohtori family had become richer than all others combined, he was able to grant his wish. Fuyumi greatly disagreed with her father and so she and her husband travelled to England for safety, no-one stopped her because they believed she was more of a liability rather than an asset during this war. Yuuichi and Akito had been thrilled with their father's actions and so they quickly became head of the armies and gave them orders. Kyoya- however, did not fully agree with what was going on but his father had gotten inside his head and almost made Kyoya believe this was wonderful for their family. Kyoya still did not fully believe in it.
"Now listen, sons," Mr. Ohtori began as he spoke to his three sons all sat at the table. "We have managed to over throw all the other families trying to fight against us. Now we must work out what to do with them."
"Which families are they, father?" Asked Yuuichi as he leaned forward and grabbed a pen and paper, getting ready to write down the family names.
"Ones that, previously, were friends of ours," He started, at this Kyoya looked up at his father, suspicious. "The families are: The Hitachiin's, the morinozuka's, the Haninozuka's and the Suoh's." Kyoya let out a low gasp. Despite the fact that he hadn't had communication with his friends for years was one thing but to have his family ruin theirs... He could not let this happen; he had to protect his friends.
"Father," Said Kyoya, rising from his seat. The other occupants of the room stopped and raised an eyebrow at the youngest Ohtori boy. "Those are my friend's families; I cannot allow them to be harmed." His older brothers were snickering at their little brother's expense and Yuuichi just continued to scribble the family names on the paper. Kyoya's father, however, rose to his feet also and stared his son in the eye.
"Well what do you propose we do, Kyoya?" He asked in a quiet yet challenging tone, hoping to intimidate his son. "These families have offended us by rebelling, action must be taken." Kyoya thought on his feet, he was quite capable of negotiating with his father.
"Yes, sir," He started. "They must understand who is in charge. Which is why I propose you allow them to work for us as our servants, fighters and slaves. Teach them some discipline." He stared, determined, at his father- who was having a growing smirk playing on his lips.
"Very well, are you prepared to take full responsibility for these families if they come to work for us as slaves?" Kyoya nodded, ignoring his brothers annoyed glares. "And you shall punish them properly without holding back if they do you wrong?" Again another nod, his father's eyes bore deep into him and eventually nodded.
"Very well," His father said. "You and the secret forces will personally discover these families and bring them here, where they shall work and earn their keep as our slaves. As of security reasons they have all been on lock down in their homes, that is where you shall find them. Go son, before I change my mind."
Kyoya nodded and grabbed the list of families from his brother, if he had a list he could check the names off when he had seized the ones he needed to find. He ran to his room and ignored the maids as they stopped to question him, most of them cowered away and out of sight, the family had become feared by all in the country and so were respected purely out of fear.
As he reached his room he slammed the door shut and grabbed his laptop, hurriedly he looked at the first family name on the list. Hitachiin. He frowned as he remembered the fun loving twins Hikaru and Kaoru, he remembered their cheery goodbye and good luck they had called to him on the last day of his school day. He hated to think of what they thought of himself and his family now; he hoped they weren't hurt or worse because of the war.
When his laptop was fully turned on he typed into the search bar: The Hitachiin family. He adjusted the search so that the most recent articles came up first; he clicked on the first option and saw a picture of a happy family. Two twins, identical in every way except for the hair. He remembered how the twins had argued over Haruhi and Hikaru had permanently dyed his hair a dark ash so as to be different from his brother and despite the twins making up Hikaru continued to keep his hair dark.
He saw both the mother and father of the Hitachiin's but something else caught his eye. There was a small two year old girl in Kaoru's arms and she was looking up and laughing at Hikaru, who smiled back down at her. Kyoya had no idea who this child was so he read the caption. It read: The Hitachiin family: Mr and Mrs Hitachiin with twenty years old twin sons, Hikaru and Kaoru and little sister- two years old- Ageha Hitachiin.
Kyoya froze at this, he had no idea that Hikaru and Kaoru had gained a younger sister since he had last seen them. Immediately he became guiltier when he thought of that little girl being trapped in her home because of a war. He sucked this emotion up and pushed his glasses higher upon his nose. He read a recent article about the family's movements and sat in silence as he read it.
HITACHIIN FAMILY UNDER HOUSE ARREST!
Special orders from the Ohtori family are that the Hitachiin's must remain under house arrest to await their fate for rebelling in the war. Their mother, who had been gravely ill, had sadly passed away after three days trapped in her home with no access to a hospital or medicine that could save her. Her body was removed from the home and so the remaining inhabitants, twenty years old Hikaru and Kaoru, two years old Ageha and their father remain in their home grieving the loss of their deceased mother and wife.
It has proved impossible to gain an interview with any of them but it's clear they are forced to remain inside. Hikaru and Kaoru take full responsibility in looking after their younger sister while the father tries his best to keep hope alive for his children. Further information when it becomes available.
The guilt washed over Kyoya in waves, not only was their younger sister trapped in her home at such a young age but their mother had been ill and had been denied the right to medical assistance. He thought again of what Hikaru and Kaoru would think about him and his family right now. He could not permit himself to think about that right now, his emotions may hold him back.
He shoved the list into his black blazer and ran outside, ignoring the screams and bangs from the war and jumped down into the tunnel under the house, he followed the tunnel and arrived at the base in which Kyoya now lived when dealing with the war. He slammed his fist onto the button for the secret police and ordered them to take him to Hitachiin manor quickly and without question. Hesitating slightly they all nodded and set off on foot, marching in front and behind of the limo in which Kyoya was riding.
