Outside description: Hikaru disappeared that day. Everyone thinks he is dead, but I refuse to believe that this is true. My brother is still out there, and he is alive. HikaruxKaoru

Speaking to Silence: Chapter Seven

A/N: Finally! I got another chapter up. It took me long enough. Yep, this would be a full fledged flashback chapter, all in italics. Enjoy! The reviews have been much loved so far! Thank you so much! 3

Disclaimer: I don't own Ouran high school host club. I own my OC's though.

Hikaru's P.O.V.

Why was he down here? Why did he have to be down here now? Could he not tell I wanted nothing to do with him? What was with this bastard? Mara paced back and forth in front of me, pausing for a second and looking down. "Enjoying your new home?" He asked.

I gritted my teeth. "When you say that, I have no idea if you're even being serious..." I grumbled.

Mara patted my head. "That's good then. I'm glad your enjoying it."

As soon as the insane commoner touched my head, my muscles went on edge. I was never relaxed, and especially not around him.

I leaned my head against the wall, ignoring his presence and focusing on my reflection. It was the only thing I had to remind me of Kaoru, and from going insane. I came close several times. How long had it been? One week now? Two months? I couldn't even come close to remembering. Time didn't exsist in this cellar...

It was frustrating. Truly. I seemed almost immune now to the constant aching within my chest.

"Dammnit all. I almost forgot!!" Mara said, standing up and thunking his wrist to his head. "How about a name today?"

"No..." I stated blandly.

"God your stubborn! I like it. Points for persistence. You've been here for two and a half months, and I still get no name." He clapped. "I love your guts. It's amusing."

Two and a half months? It had really been that long.

"Well, I will talk to you later rich kid. I have a job to do upstairs." With that he turned, and left.

I thunked my head back and forth against the wall. "I don't care...."

As soon as he left, a gleam caught my eye. My jaw dropped. His cell phone, it must've fallen out of his pocket!! I glanced left, and then right. Maybe he didn't notice. Cautiously I grabbed it, and as soon as I grabbed it I dialed Kaoru's number. It rang. It rang!!

Ring ring.

Pick up!!

Ring ring!!!

Come on Kaoru!! You need to pick up!

There was a click on the other end. ".....hello?"

Bam! I felt a blow against my face. Mara's boot smashed down on his own phone, shattering it to bits. "No...." I whispered from where I lay. "Kaoru...No!!!!" I shouted. "You can't do that!!"

"No, you listen to me, you little shit! I never gave you my phone! Did you ask!? Did you!?!?" Mara screamed at me.

"N-no." I could only say that. That was him! That was Kaoru's voice. I was so close!!!

Mara took me, grabbing me by the scruff of my neck and yanking my body upwards. "You motherfucker. You thought you had a ticket out of here, didn't you?" He clicked his teeth anoyed. "And look what you did! Now I need a new phone. I had better get a name, rich kid. I need ransom to buy me one of them fancy smartphones."

"No! You'll never get my name!" I shouted.

"What was that you said a second ago..." Mara whispered. "Kaoru...eh? I hear you utter that name a lot. Who is he?"

"He's..." I gulped. "My...brother..."

"Oh, I see. He's the one with you that one day." Mara sneered. "So rich kid isn't an only child. Well, that's not enough information. I need more! Last name! What is it?"

"No!" I growled. "You'll never get it! If you lay a finger on my brother, I'll kill you."

"Who said I was going to harm him?" Mara said teasingly. "I'm off kiddo, and you owe me a new phone." He lifted me off the ground, tossing me in the corner like a rag doll. "Adios." With that he simply left. I crawled back to my corner, and couldn't help it I cried. I clenched my fists and I cried.

Kaoru's P.O.V.

This blond boy had to be the most persistent person I had come across in my life!! Oh wait, I learned that when I met him. Tamaki poked my head, and I mumbled under my breath. "Kaoru, surely there is something you can do!" He pleaded. "You can't just quit the host club!"

I turned to him, hurting inside, but eyes expressionless. "As I've been saying for months, what do you want me to do? Hikaru's gone...and...and he may never come back! So what? Self loving act?"

"No, that's senpai's..." I heard Harhi mutter. She interrupted. "Tamaki-senpai, this isn't a good idea. Kaoru is struggling. Maybe you should just leave him alone, and let him heal."

Tamaki finally listened when his "daughter", thankfully came to my rescue. It was about time...

"I'm leaving." I stated dully, picking up my backpack, an trudging out the music room door. Outside of Ouran in the courtyard it was sunny, maybe a sign? A musical tone drifted into my ears, and i realized it was my cell phone. I fished through my back, picking it up. "...hello?" I asked.

It sounded like somebody was going to sa something, but then I got a whole bunch of static. "Weird..." I muttred, hitting the end button, and walking towards my limo. Something tugged on my heart strings at that second though. I wasn't sure what it was. Maybe, it was a sign. Was Hikaru really ever going to be found?

A/n: Well there you go. sorry for my disease I call procrastination. Voila. xD
