Kaoru: WARNINGS: Noting really.

Hikaru: DISCLAIMER: Random does not own anything but the plot.

*READ PLEASE*

Tamaki stared at the peace of paper in his hand, not comprehending what was on it. Hikaru couldn't be kidnapped. It just wasn't right. Hikaru could be a devious trouble maker and a bastard at times, but that didn't mean the twin deserved to be kidnapped.

The silence that followed Kaoru's statement was deafening. The only thing that broke it was Kaoru's loud sobs. No one knew what to do. No one knew if this was actually happening or if this was another of the twins' pranks.

"Tama-chan?" Hunny said finally. "What does the letter say?" The smaller blond asked what was on every one's, but Kaoru's, minds.

Tamaki looked down at the boy Lolita, numbly. He shook his head and looked back at the letter and started to read in a voice so calm and emotionless it scared Kyouya. "Dear Ouran High School Host Club, we regret to inform you that Hikaru Hitachiin has been taken by our organization, The Hide and Seek. We have been watching you for a very long time and concluded that Mr. Hitachiin's kidnapping would be the one to effect all of you the most. Do not worry, Mr. Hitachiin will not be killed, but we will not promise that he will come back to you unharmed. The longer Mr. Hitachiin stays with us the more he will be harmed, so we suggest you find him quickly. We are the hiders and you are the seekers. We hope you enjoy this sure to be intense game of Hide and Seek. Sincerity Hide and Seek organization." Tamaki finished. He could feel himself about to break. He dropped the letter and watched numbly as it floated to the ground, half expecting it to burst into flames.

Hikaru was in trouble. Hikaru was going to be harmed, because he was Hikaru? He was going to most likely be tortured because some sick bastards thought that kidnapping him would be the most effective? That didn't make sense. If anything, wouldn't he be the most effective. And he didn't mean that in an egotistical way, it was just how it went. He knew that the host club members protected him from people like this. He was the leader. The one to break everyone out of their shells and encourage them to be at their best. Why didn't they take him?

He looked up at the host club members and it hit him. If he was taken Kaoru would still have his brother to lean on, now his brother was gone and the other twin was lost. Kyouya had grown close to Kaoru recently and even though Tamaki was his best friend he had Kaoru, so taking away Hikaru would indirectly effect Kyouya because of how close he'd gotten to Kaoru, unconsciously getting to know Hikaru along the way. Hunny and Mori were there for the twins when they were fighting, offering a place where they could think and helping them like a parent would their children, take away one and the parents will become desperate to get it back. Haruhi was the first person to tell the twins apart, probably the closest to the twins out of all the host club and Tamaki knew that deep inside her she loved the twins dearly and to take away one would destroy her, epically after her mothers death. Hikaru had a bigger part in the host club than any of them had realized. Hikaru had somehow become the rock that held them together and now that rock had vanished.

But that left him. How did Hikaru's kidnapping effect him? If anything it helped him. Hikaru was out of the picture and he could swoop down with arms wide open and catch Haruhi as she fell. But why then, did he feel like the one that need to be held, the one who need to be saved. Why did it feel like his heart had been ripped out of his chest? Why did he feel so numb with pain?

The people around him were all quite, looking at him for some kind of guidance. He steeled himself, he had to be the leader now more then ever. "Kyouya?" He said softly.

Kyouya looked up from whispering sweet nothings in Kaoru's ear. His eyes where red rimmed and Tamaki could tell that the normally cool boy was suppressing tears. This just confirmed Tamaki's theory about Hikaru being the rock. "Yes, Tamaki?"

"I need you too dig up information about this organization."

Hunny looked up, tears streaming down his boyish face. "Takashi and I know." He said.

Tamaki turned to him. "What? How?"

"They're a gang that's threatened our houses in the past." Mori said, voice cracking as he spoke the rest. Tamaki closed his eyes. The club was slowly breaking. "They are an organization that kidnaps people for fun. They give hints and clues to where they are hidden, but while their loved ones search, the victims are tortured. The average time the organization keeps their victim is a year, then they return them, but not after they have scarred their victims so much that some never fully recover mentally." Mori let a tear run down his cheek as he finished.

Tamaki's stomach sank and his heart clenched. He turned back to Kyouya. "Kyouya, your family owns many hospitals. I need you to look up known patients emitted into hospitals and the extent of their injuries and what ever else we might need to know."

Kyouya nodded and got up, Haruhi taking his place next to Kaoru, and opened his phone and walked out of the room. Tamaki turned to Mori and Hunny. "I need you two to talk to your parents and see what they can find on how they work. You said that your family has had trouble with them before, well we need to know how they dealt with them."

The cousins nodded and left the room too. Tamaki sat on the other side of Kaoru and tilted the boy's face up. Kaoru's eyes were puffy and red from crying and his face was flushed. Tamaki smiled comfort as Kaoru quieted down. He kissed Kaoru's forehead and rocked the boy as he cried himself to sleep. Tamaki looked at Haruhi who smiled at him weakly.

"Haruhi, I need you to watch over Kaoru, make sure he eats and drinks things like that and just be there for him. Okay?" Haruhi nodded and helped Tamaki carry the sleeping boy to the limo that would take him home. "I want you to stay with him for a while. He's unstable right now and I don't want him alone. I'll call your dad and tell him what's going on."

Haruhi nodded. "That's a good idea and I'll also tell their parents." He stopped before she got in the limo. "Tamaki-sempai? Are you going to be okay?"

Tamaki couldn't really answer that question. He didn't know, he was starting to realize that Hikaru was more important to him than he thought. "I don't know." He answered truthfully. "But I do know that I will not stop until I find him."

Haruhi studied him for a second before smiling faintly and nodding. "I'll see you later sempai." She said before slipping into the limo.

Tamaki watched as it drove away. Once it was out of sight he turned his attention to the sky. "Where ever you are Hikaru, be strong. I'm coming to get you, so please hold on." He whispered, willing the words to reach the younger boy's ears somehow.
