Sorry it took so long to update. So busy with random things. Anyway, here is the next chapter. If you know my Ouran Hocus Pocus story, that will be updated soon. Enjoy
Chapter 2
~Kaoru~
Kaoru was walking his way home.
"I wonder what has Hikaru so nervous. Sure things can still happen, but I think I can handle myself. He doesn't need to baby me. Though I know he's just being a good older brother and protecting me." Kaoru smiled at the thought of his brother. He passed the half way point and looked up at the tree, it was starting to grow little buds on the branches. He continued walking and saw a car drive past. As he was walking, he saw a very similar, possibly the same type of, car drive by again. This happened quite a few times until he made it home. He helped the maids clean up the house.
"Master, you know you don't have to help us." The twin maids asked.
"I want to help. You shouldn't do the work by yourselves." Kaoru continued to help. The front door closed.
"Kaoru!" Hikaru's voice was heard. The loud footsteps ran up the steps. Kaoru stepped out from the living room and looked up the steps. Hikaru came back down. "Kaoru!" Hikaru ran down fast and hugged him tight. "I was so worried."
"Why? Is everything ok?" Kaoru asked. He didn't understand why he'd been worried like that. He wasn't before when he walked home by himself.
"Yea. I was worried because you're my brother. I don't want something happening to you." Hikaru said
"The same goes to you. Now you better get changed, you'll catch your death in those clothes."
"Huh?" He stopped hugging Kaoru and looked at himself.
"In fact, you may want to take another shower. Warm you up."
"Uh, right." He ran back upstairs. Kaoru was also wet so he ran upstairs to his room and found some clothes to change into. He continued cleaning. Hikaru came down. Kaoru tried to hide his laughter. "What?"
"I think you used the wrong conditioner." Kaoru said. Still trying not to laugh.
"What do you mean?"
"Your hair is pink."
"What!?" Hikaru grabbed a strand of his bangs and looked at it. His hair was pink like a flamingo. "How'd that happen? Did you do something, Kaoru?"
"No, I swear I didn't. Maybe it was one of our cousins." Kaoru truly didn't do anything. It was still funny though.
"Oh great. This was the last thing I wanted to happen."
"It won't be hard to get it out, right? We managed to get the dye out last time."
"True, but we used a special conditioner for that."
"Yea, how about I go and buy some."
"Ok, but I'm coming with you."
"Ok." They grabbed umbrellas and headed out to the store. They had to walk there. They got the special conditioner and went home. Hikaru ran upstairs to get the dye out of his hair. Kaoru looked around for his bag to do his homework, but found it nowhere. "don't tell me I left it at school." Kaoru found a notebook and wrote a note for Hikaru. Then he grabbed an umbrella and went on his way to the school to get his bag. Once he found it, it was in the club room still, he then headed home. Kaoru was walking on the sidewalk again. He made it to the halfway point again. He looked up at the tree again. The rain stopped and he put the umbrella down. He remembered that he and Hikaru hid in that tree a few times to scare people. He passed the tree smiling at the memories. Then, a big hand was placed on his mouth and an arm went around his neck. He looked up at his captor and it was a man with black hair and menacing eyes. He dropped his umbrella, but not his bag.
"Don't make a sound, brat." A car pulled around and the door opened. The man shoved Kaoru in the back seat. "Hand me your cell phone." Kaoru handed him his orange cell phone without any hesitation. The man got in the passenger side of the car after slamming the back door shut.
~Hikaru~
Hikaru came down stairs, but saw Kaoru nowhere.
"Kaoru? Where are you?" He found a note and read it. It read:
Dear Hika,
Don't worry, I went back to the school to get
my bag. I'll be home soon. If Mom and Dad
come home before I get there, let them know,
ok? I won't be long. See you soon,
-Kao
Hikaru's eyes went wide. He ran to the door, grabbed an umbrella and ran out. He opened the umbrella as he was running. He ran along the way to the school, hoping to meet him along the way, though he spotted something at the half way point. An orange umbrella. Hikaru knew at once who it belonged to. He ran back home after picking up the umbrella. He made it home and called the first person that came to mind.
"Ootori residence." A servant said on the other line.
"Is Kyoya Ootori home?"
"yes sir. Hold on a moment." A few minutes later.
"Hello?"
"Kyoya?"
"Hikaru, is that you? You better have a good reason for calling."
"I do. It's about Kaoru. I think he's been kidnapped."
"Alright. Calm down ok. Take a deep breath and relax. I will send out my police force and they should find him by nightfall."
"Ok. Please find him."
"We will try the best we can." Kyoya hung up. Hikaru tried taking a deep breath and out to calm down. The twin maids tapped his shoulder.
"Master-" One twin started.
"-are you ok?" The other finished
"You look a little pale." They said at the same time.
"I'm fine." Hikaru started walking up the stairs. He remembered his book bag was downstairs and went back for it. His vision started going blurry. He went downstairs but slipped and rolled down them.
"Master!" The twin maids ran to him.
"He has a fever." One said
"Let's get him upstairs." The other said.
"Ok." They picked him up and carried him upstairs and set him on the bed. He was tossing and turning after they covered him up.
~Kaoru~
Kaoru was dragged into a house and pushed into a room, ungracefully falling on his side. He sat up.
"Are you sure this is the right one?" The man with the black hair asked the one with blond hair.
"Yes, the other has pink hair. This one has auburn." The blond one answered.
"Good." The man kicked Kaoru in the chest, making him fall back again. "He has no idea what we'll do to him." Kaoru was scared but he didn't show it. He sat up again.
"You know something you could do. Hold me for ransom." Kaoru said. He hoped the plan would work.
"Ransom?" Did they not know about ransom?
"Don't tell me criminals like you have never heard of a ransom. It's where a criminal takes a kid hostage and gives a note to the parents. They say the amount of money that they want and the parents pay it to get their child back. Though if the child is dead, they won't pay the ransom." Kaoru explained.
"Why are you telling us this?" The blond asked.
"You look like a nice pair of criminals, I'm only trying to help. If you hand me my bag, I'll give you the address of my house and I can give you some paper and something to write with." Kaoru said.
"Ok." They hand him the bag and he takes out a notebook and a pencil. He writes his address then hands them his notebook.
"By the way, my name is spelled H-i-t-a-c-h-i-i-n."
"Ok." They write the note. Then they both left to deliver it. His plan worked. Kaoru tried finding a way to escape. He opened the window. The jump seemed a bit high, but it was better escape than any, they locked the door. He jumped, landing hard on his left leg more than his right. He got up, but felt a searing pain in his left leg. He fell back down. He could still move it, but it hurt a lot. He found a branch on the ground from the tree above him and used it to get up. He had no idea where he was, but he was probably not very close to home. He used the branch to go in the direction his instincts told him to go. He was in a town within minutes. It was starting to get dark once he reached the edge of the town and almost into the town he recognized as the town his school is in. He walked as far as he could before he started getting tired. He found a somewhat hidden alley and rested against the wall. He fell asleep within no time.
~Hikaru~
Hikaru woke up. He looked around.
"Master, are you awake?" The twin maids asked.
"Yea, has Kaoru been found yet?" Hikaru asked.
"No, the police found the place he was held, but it appears he escaped. They are trying to find him." Hikaru sat up. "His kidnappers have a ransom letter, but it's useless now."
"My dreams keep coming true. Why? I know where to find him, I have to get there before it's too late, like in my dream. Can I have something to eat?" Hikaru asked.
"Sure, we'll be right back. By the way, your parents are home."
"Great." The twin maids left and Hikaru got out of bed. He realized he was in his night clothes. He shrugged and walked out of the room. He snuck down stairs and looked around to see if anybody was near the front door. He saw nobody and ran for it. He ran to the door and opened it quickly. He made it outside. It had stopped raining and a crescent moon was shining. He didn't have much light, but he'd find Kaoru without fail. He knew exactly where he'd find him because of the dream he had. He went to Ouran and then turned toward where the edge of the city would be. He hoped it wasn't too late like he had in his dream.
~Kaoru~
Kaoru woke up in the alley.
"I hope Hikaru is doing ok. I hope he hasn't gone looking for me. He usually does something that puts him at risk if it means protecting me."
"Kaoru?" He heard Hikaru's voice.
"That's Hikaru!" It was Hikaru, he turned down the alley and found Kaoru sitting against the wall.
"Thank goodness I found you." Hikaru said
"How did you know where to find me?" Kaoru asked.
"I don't know, luck I guess. Come on." He helped him up. Kaoru tried to ignore the pain in his leg. He tried not to worry Hikaru. The pain soon became too much and he started to limp. "Are you ok?"
"Yea." Kaoru said.
"Why are you limping, did something happen?" Hikaru asked.
"No, my leg is asleep, so it's taking a while to wake up." Kaoru insisted.
"Do you think I'm an idiot? Tell me, what happened to your leg?"
"Ok, fine. I jumped out the window to escape and I hurt my leg. I'll be ok. I can still move it so it's not broken."
"Still, you shouldn't walk on it. The pain will get worse. Come on, I'll carry you." Kaoru was surprised he wasn't freaking out like he had expected. Hikaru had Kaoru get on his back and started carrying him. They made it home safely, though Hikaru fainted as soon as they got there.
"Hikaru!" He felt his forehead. "You have a fever. You should have just forgotten about me and gotten better." Kaoru helped Hikaru up and carried him upstairs. He got him in bed and covered him up. The door was opened and their mother walked in.
"Kaoru. My little baby." She ran over to him and hugged him tightly. "I was so worried about you. How's Hikaru?"
"He has a fever because he came to find me."
"He'll get better, he always does."
"I hope so." Kaoru fell asleep in his mom's arms.
"Aw, so adorable." She had him lay down next to Hikaru and covered him up. "My little boys are home and safe."
So, how was it? Don't think this is the end. I have more for the Host Club. Not just the Hitachiin brothers. Possibly three more chapters. So, I hope you enjoyed it. In the words of a friend of mine,
See ya,
