Chapter ten:

As soon as Hikaru arrives home he races out of the limo not giving the driver anytime to even open the driver side door. Hikaru doesn't care that he left the door open and he left his stuff on the seat. He races through the mansion hurrying to his and his brothers room first. He slams open the door not caring at all. "KAORU!?" His shoulders rise in even more worry when he sees no sign of his brother in the room. He however does notice something on the bed so he moves closer to it wondering if it'll help in his search for Kaoru. He stands next to the bed on Kaoru's side, Kaoru's uniform is on the floor, and looks down to the bed finding that it's Kaoru's cell phone with a folded piece of paper underneath it. He takes the note letting the phone slide off and letting it land safely onto the soft bed. He brings it up only to unfold it confirming his suspicions that it is indeed a note in which he sees his brothers handwriting so he wants to read it now.

It has to have something about his brother and where he could have gone right?

Hikaru knows that it just has to and he makes sure to read it word for word not wanting to skip any part in case it gave him important on what is going on right now with his brother or even where his brother could be in the first place. He just really has to know because right now Kaoru is scaring him. He closes his eyes for a moment after reading the first line to take a breath to calm himself a little. He opens his eyes more focused now so he can better process any information that will be provided within this note. So he can find Kaoru.

To Hikaru.

Please read this before you start to panic about my whereabouts.

Well… There is so much that I want to say and explain to you but due to time restraints I'll have to keep it much shorter than I would have liked.

You see it started not long ago at all. I was alone and I ended up going for a walk in which I encountered something I never thought that I would encounter.

Afterwards I tried to avoid it… Tried to ignore it when I could but in the end I couldn't escape it.

This probably isn't making much sense but it's kind of hard to explain it really.

As much as you think you might I'm sorry but you won't fully understand everything that has happened. I didn't want to keep it all from you but I had to so please at least be a little understanding about that I just couldn't tell you… I didn't want to talk about it. Also don't come after me please just do that for me as well.

This is something that I fear and I have learned that it is about time that I go and I face the thing that scares me the most. I love you and I'm sorry for this.

Love Kaoru.

Hikaru grips the note tightly within his hands upon reading this and his teeth even become clenched though he's gripping the note so hard that it shakes along with his own hands. "Kaoru. Just what happened? What are you doing?" He questions yet none can be answered right now. He drops the note as his mind races on where Kaoru could be right now… But with Kaoru going off to somewhere unknown he has no idea where Kaoru could be heading or have already arrived to. His mind finally snaps onto one person in which he whips out his cell that is luckily still within his pocket where he had put it. He dials a number then waits for an answer.

"Did you find him?" Kyouya asks when he picks up the phone and the other hosts glance to him but keep quiet to wait for the other to give them the news.

"No. But he left a note." Hikaru begins. "He talked about going to face something. Something that scares him so much he didn't want to actually talk about it with me. You need to send out your forces and find him! Please!" He pleads with the other.

"Alright." Kyouya agrees. "I'll let them know what to look for. We'll also join in on the search."

"Thanks." Hikaru feels a little relieved about this.

"Is there any part of the note that tells us where he might have gone to?" Kyouya questions and though Kyouya can't see him Hikaru shakes his head in response along with speaking.

"No. Nothing."

"Okay. We'll search the city." Kyouya responds to that a little disappointed in not having anywhere they could start.

"Thanks so much." Hikaru thanks him with worried gratitude. "See you." He would stay on the phone but he has to go looking for his brother.

"Yeah see you." Kyouya agrees then they both hang up in which Hikaru runs off to start his search for his brother while Kyouya starts dialing for his families private force.

"Kyouya."

Kyouya turns as Tamaki speaks moving closer.

"Kyouya what's going on?" Tamaki questions with wide worried eyes staring up at the raven seeing as how the blood is slightly hunched over probably out of worry.

"I'm not fully sure on everything." Kyouya begins turning back to his dialing. "But Kaoru's gone off somewhere and though we have a note it gives us no hints as to where he went off to. I'm calling my families force to try to help the search."

"Then we'll go out too." Tamaki straightens fists on his hips in pure determination. He turns to the other hosts while Kyouya turns away bringing his phone up to his ear. "Alright everyone! This is classified as a host club emergency! We have to go and find out where Kaoru is! We can split into groups to look around. Mori and Hunny you are the first group. Haruhi you're with me. Kyouya…" He glances back and hears Kyouya inform his force what to look for and he waits a moment until Kyouya is done talking in which he hangs up. "Kyouya which group do you want to be in?"

Kyouya turns to Tamaki stuffing his phone into his pocket. "I'll be with my force." He responds and pushes his glasses up keeping the light reflecting off of them to hide his eyes. "I'll need to monitor updates and answer questions that they might have."

"Okay." Tamaki nods and turns back to the others. "Let's move out!"

The host club leave the room then the school hurrying away and they split up to help cover more ground to hopefully help more.

Unknown's P.O.V.

I stop walking and I look up as a structure looms above me. I take a slightly deep breath as I stare at it actually feeling nervous. I bring my hand down letting it brush up against the weapon within it trying to calm myself down a little. "It is time." I lower my head and I grip the weapon within my hand or well the handle of the weapon as I look where I'm going while approaching the front entrance. "I'm sorry." I let a tear escape falling down my cheek before dripping off my jaw. I'm sure that it has probably fallen the ground below making the tiny splash that only bugs would probably really notice. I ignore that and take a shaky breath taking control of myself to give a calm and hopefully cold exterior. I reach towards the door handle with my free hand feeling that it is a little warm possibly from the sun beating down upon it from the sky. I twist it opening the door to head inside and I step through the doorway without a word while releasing the door handle but I gently push it closed behind myself to try to not draw outside attention right now.

The place is how I had thought it would be.

"It's time for you to pay for everything and I won't let you ruin what I have created for myself. Not when I've come so far."

No one's P.O.V.

Hikaru runs around looking around himself as he hurries. He already ran into quite a few people but with a rushed apology he just continues on his way. His desperate search continues with yet no sign of where Kaoru could have headed. "Kaoru! Where are you!?" His hands clench into fists as he continues his running search. "Please. Just tell me what's going on!"
