Part 2 Second Half
Disclaimer- I own nothing!
Kyouya knew he had to go to the trial, he knew he had to go and speak of the horrors he endured but he was scared. Scared to see his father, even if he was powerless and could no longer hurt him, the thought of going against him still worried him. He could tell even Tamaki was scared to speak as well. This would be the first time people outside of their families would learn that Yuzuru had been murdered. Tamaki was even worried that Yoshio would be set free if they failed to bring up significant evidence against him. They had no proof the accident was intentional and if they couldn't find anything about the things done to Kyouya then the minimum sentence was all they were going to get. Tachibana was trying to find evidence for them by going through videos recorded in the surveillance cameras in the lab at Kyouya's old house. He knew there had to be something they could use or even a clue where real, hard, can hold in your hands, evidence was or would be. If they couldn't find proof then Kyouya planned to make the Black Onion Squad talk, they would be enough to help defend the case. Still as they tried to relax they stayed on their toes. Kyouya always worried when Tamaki left even to go to school. Even after Tachibana decided to become his body guard again he couldn't stop his worry. Tachibana gave up his position of chairman after the trial date was set though; he said he was thinking about giving it up soon anyway. He claimed it wasn't a role he knew how to do well in. He had been a doctor then bodyguard for many years before he was offered to the chairman role. Tamaki said he had done a great job but he was still more comfortable protecting someone.
"No wonder Kyouya didn't want to come here, the house being empty and so quiet makes the memories seems stronger." Tamaki walked down the hall behind Tachibana to the lab in Kyouya's old house. Other than how quiet and empty in terms of life the house looked exactly the same.
"Well we won't stay long I just need to find a few files so that the lawyer can use them against Yoshio." Tamaki went through the file cabinet looking for research documents or data on Kyouya while Tachibana searched the computer.
"Do we need a lawyer?"
"Not unless you want to go against him directly. If you just want to testify against him then you both are fine you just have to show up."
"Okay we can do that then." Though knowing that didn't really make the thought any less scary. He just had to keep telling himself that Yoshio was harmless now.
Tamaki couldn't get over how many charts of data he was coming across. It seemed Kyouya hadn't lied when he said that he had been experimenting on since he was little. He was finding data about procedures done when he was nine. How could Yoshio be allowed to do all that he had done for so long? Had the staff really chose to do nothing, say nothing to protect themselves?
"Tamaki I found what we are looking for so you can stop." Tamaki put the folder he was looking through back in the filing cabinet and walked back over to Tachibana.
"It looks like all we need is right here. Yoshio must have scanned all the documents on to the computer. He watched as Tachibana started to save the data on a portable drive for the lawyer.
"I'll also e-mail it to myself just to be safe."
"Okay that will be fine. Also the originals I just found so if you need them I can get them for you if you need them."
Tamaki stepped away as he heard his phone start to go off, he saw it was Kyouya. He hoped everything was okay.
"Hello?...Is everything okay?...I think so but let me ask." He pulled the phone away from his mouth to talk to Tachibana. "Kyouya wants to know if we are done here he says he needs us home."
"Yes I'm done here. Is something going on at your house?"
"Well I'm not sure I here background noise but I believe that's the TV."
"Come on then let's get going. I doubt Kyouya would call if it wasn't something."
"Kyouya we are leaving now so we'll be home soon okay." Hanging up he waited until Tachibana was ready to go before following him out.
"What the hell?" Tamaki stared through the back of his limo to see tons of press in front of his house. Why where they here?
"Master Tamaki I fear they may enter the yard if we open the gate so I can drive in."
"It is fine I want to get in the house and find out what is going on."
"As you wish sir." The driver opened the gate to drive through and managed to close it before the reporters snuck through. Tamaki jumped out of the car with Tachibana right behind him.
"Kyouya?" They walked in the house and started looking for Kyouya and hopefully some answers.
"In here Tamaki!" Both ran into the living room to see Kyouya holding Yuzuru and staring at the TV.
"What's with all the press Kyouya? What is going on?"
"Just look Tamaki, it's all over the news."
"What is?" Tamaki read the runner across the bottom of the screen. Breath caught in his throat. Well that explained the press.
"She's dead. I can't believe she is really gone Kyouya."
Kyouya looked over to see the look of shock and a hint of sadness across Tamaki's face. "Are you okay?"
"….um yea I'm fine. Kyouya will come to the hospital with me? You too Tachibana, please?"
"Of course Tamaki." Both watched him closely as he turned off the TV and took Yuzuru from Kyouya as he walked out of the living room.
The press was outside the hospital as well when they pulled up. Kyouya took his thinner jacket off under his heavier one to wrap around Yuzuru. He didn't want the press to post pictures of his son on TV yet and with so many here the possibility of that happening was high.
"Are you ready Tamaki?" Kyouya could see the struggle on the others face making him easy to worry about.
"Let's do this."
"Stay close you two." They nodded as Tachibana stepped out of the car first followed by Tamaki and Kyouya. Tachibana tried his best to keep the reporters off Tamaki though he couldn't stop him from hearing their questions.
"Are you saddened by her loss after what she attempted to do with your son last month?" "Do you feel this has any connection to Yoshio Ootori?" "What will you do now?" "Is it true she was the only family you had left in Japan?"
When they entered the hospital Tamaki exhaled happy to be away from that. He was glad Kyouya helped push him to the entrance. The nurses on staff brought him down the hall where his grandmother was. He had been told for weeks that she wasn't doing well but he never thought she would die. He didn't think she was getting worse since the hospital never told him she was.
"You know Kyouya they were right. I am all alone here. She may not have liked me but she was still family and was all I had." Kyouya handed the car seat to Tachibana as he laid a hand on Tamaki's shoulder.
"You're not all alone Tamaki. In terms of an adult yes she was all you had but in terms of family she wasn't." Tamaki brought his hand up to touch the one Kyouya had on him and lifted his head with tears in his eyes.
"Your right Kyouya, I'm not. Thank you for reminding me of that."
Everyone was surprised to learn that they wanted to perform an autopsy. Tamaki believed she died from the gunshot and her age but the staff wanted to make sure it wasn't from something else.
"It's your call Tamaki but I would do it. A lot of people were angry at your grandmother. It wouldn't be too unlikely that they would try something." He knew Tachibana had a point but the thought still made him uneasy.
"Kyouya?"
"I have to agree with Tachibana. If someone tried to do something I would want to bring them to justice so she could rest in peace."
"Okay, then I'll agree to it."
Why did he have this feeling they were hiding something from him? And what exactly could that be? Why did he get this feeling that things were coming that maybe he just wasn't ready for?
