Hikari ran back in because it began to rain.
There was three hours left in the day.
And Three Hours Was All The Storm Needed
Hikari forgave everyone's foolishness but right now there was more to worry about:
"Attention all students of Tokyo High!
The storm has worsened and road conditions are bad
Due to several road closings
You are not gonna be leaving school today
If necessary we will keep you overnight
Your parents have been notified
Thank you," said the intercom
"Oh no way," whined Ryu
"Oh yes way,"said Hikari
"This is bad," said Tamaki "Haruhi's afraid of thunderstorms."
And then the lights went out
"Oh my god!" wailed Chihoro who had been leaning on the door frame
When you can't see-you wonder aimlessly
Chihoro wondered out the open door
Into the darkness of the hallway.
"Chihoro?!" cried Toshiro, Kaoru, Hikaru, Aki, and Riku
No answer came forward
Hikari and Akari pulled out two mini flashlights and illuminated the room
"She's not here!" cried Nene and Akizuki
A boom of thunder rang
"Wah!" cried Haruhi who rushed out the door way
"Haruhi!" screamed Tamaki
Tamaki ran after her
"I'll go find Chihoro," said Toshiro
"No way punk-your staying here!" yelled Aki and Riku
"No way in hell-Im gonna go find MY girlfriend!" yelled Toshiro
"We wanna help too!" called the Hitachiin twins
"SHUT UP!" screamed Toshiro, Aki, and Riku
The two pairs of twins ran into the hall along with Toshiro
"Hyoma," said Rin clinging to his arm "I don't like the dark."
"Don't worry Rin-everything will be okay," he said putting his arm around her
York held Miko too
"Im tired," said Kagome
Inuyasha helped Rin on his back
"Detective Toshiro-do you have a paper? Or some sort of material?" asked Naomi "I know a special skill but I need a material of some kind."
"Here," he said handing her a newspaper
She grinned
"Hope your done with this," she said
Naomi focused on the tube shaped newspaper and it changed into a larger flashlight!
"Battery-less flashlight anyone?" said Naomi
"Too bad Toshiro and the others already left to find Haruhi and Chihoro-they could use it," said Renge
Everyone stared out the door in worry
Another thunder rang out
As the lightning flashed
"Toshiro? Anyone? Help-Im lost in the dark," said Chihoro
She had been wondering the halls
She had though that she was still in the gym
It took getting a push pin stuck in her hand before she realized:
She was lost
In the school halls
With no light
And a push pin stuck in her hand
Bleeding like mad.
"Chihoro?!" called Toshiro
"Chihoro?!" called the Hitachiin twins
"Chihoro?!" called Aki and Riku
She was nowhere to be found
"I hate this-my poor girlfriend's lost somewhere," said Toshiro
"Well I hate your guts," said Aki and Riku "Your way to close to our sister."
"You know what we hate?" said the Hitachiin Twins "People who get mad because their sibling has a date! Just leave Chihoro be! She's happy-isn't that what matters?"
Aki and Riku stood silent
They had been wrong
Toshiro made Chihoro happy
Wasn't that what counted?
"Come Toshiro-let's find your girl," said the twins
"I had you two wrong-you guys aren't so bad," said Toshiro
"We like you too-you look like a punk but you have a heart," said the twins
It wasn't long when Toshiro found a pool of blood by the board where Chihoro had gotten the push pin stuck
"Oh god no," said Toshiro "We have to follow this trail-It could be Chihoro's!"
"Let's get a move on!" said the twins
"Please Chihoro-Im coming!" cried Toshiro as he and the twins followed the trail
Aki and Riku turned and went back to the room
They followed the trail
That Chihoro had left behind
Haruhi ran down through the hall
"I need a place to hide!" wailed Haruhi
She continued with Tamaki far behind her
Far but close
Close enough to keep up
To far to be heard
The blood trail ended in a corner of the hallway
In that corner-Chihoro sat
"Chihoro!" cried Toshiro
"There you are," said the twins
"Toshie!" cried Chihoro
He took her hand-finding it covered in blood with a object stuck in the back part
"I got a push pin stuck in my hand," she explained
Toshiro helped her up and hugged her
"Im glad your safe," he said
He picked her up bridal style
"Lets go back!" exclaimed the twins
"Yeah...but how?" asked Toshiro
Without light
They had no idea how to get back
Haruhi rested
"Haruhi!" cried Tamaki out of breath
"Senpai?" asked Haruhi
A hand came to her shoulder
"Lets go back," he said
"How-we can't even see?" she said
Tamaki looked back
"Well we're stuck here for awhile," he said sitting next to her
Like Toshiro, Chihoro, Kaoru, and Hikaru
They had no idea on how to get back either
"What if they all got lost?" said Nene
Aki and Riku came back in
"What are two doing back?" asked Akizuki
"We got separated from the others and came back here," they lied
Hikari took out her flute
"Time for me to go save some idiots," said Hikari
Naomi offered the flashlight
"Don't need it-I taught myself a nice technique for navigating the darkness," said Hikari "All I need is my ears and my flute."
Hikari set out in the darkness
She was out to bring the lost ones home
And she had the technique to do it.
