Chapter eleven:

A gun clicking sound is heard and a hooded person glances to the one that approaches but stops at a distance.

"You were foolish to come here." The other growls with a gun aimed at the hooded person. "But I suspected you might try something like this. I was just wondering how hard I had to push you before you would tip over." He smirks. "I thought that we'd have some more fun with a few more missions at least before you cracked. But all it took was one kill and you come here like this." He slightly tilts his head with confidence. "Oh well your loss. Because if you take another step I'll shoot. Back off and we can continue having fun together with taking others out. As long as you keep your damn mouth shut." He cocks the gun in warning. "So take my warning and do what your supposed to do."

"I'm a killer." The hooded figure speaks up keeping both hands in the pocket. "And that's my job."

"You're My killer." The other reminds him "Kaoru Hitachiin."

Kaoru gives a smirk of his own. "Oh and by the way. That's two kills, not one."

"Huh?" The other raises his eyebrow in confusion.

"Maybe if you had watched out with your enemies then it wouldn't have come to this so soon. Attacking me at school and even though the kill wasn't intentional it showed me what I had to do." He explains keeping his hood up right now which makes him look quite a lot more dangerous in this moment. "I need to defend myself."

The other smiles until he's grinning from ear to ear and his finger slightly tightens on the trigger yet not tight enough to fire a shot. "Oh too bad that you are on the wrong end of this gun in my hand." He closes his eyes. "The feeling of holding such power over you right now. Ohh. It's amazing. You really should be scared of me." He opens his eyes with a confident glare but only has time to blink in surprise before a shot is heard as the hand holding the gun is hit. He screeches in pain dropping the gun to cradle his injured hand that is bleeding badly. He stares for a moment with wide eyes at his hand before looking to Kaoru.

Kaoru stands there with one of his hands out showing that there is a gun in his hand. His eyes narrow without a hint of fear in sight on his face or stance.

"Ha. Hahahahahaha!" The other laughs. "So you've finally grown some balls."

"I'm not afraid of you." Kaoru hisses tightening his finger on the trigger yet not letting it fire right in this moment. "Not anymore."

The other tsks at this with a disapproving look. "I am the leader of the gang that made you kill two people. I am the one that can ruin everything for you. I am the one that if you don't back down then your life will be hell!"

"I've seen enough of a life of hell that your threats no longer scare me." Kaoru informs him and fires again this time hitting him in the leg by the knee in which the other falls almost as if sitting or crouching. "I will take down anyone who comes after me."

The leader looks up and glares at Kaoru with hate and anger.

There is a sound in the house causing Kaoru to turn his head away to look in the direction of the noise and in this time the leader glances in the opposite direction seeing the gun he had dropped a little earlier.

The leaders lips turn up into a smile again.

…..

Kyouya shows a picture of Kaoru to two women who look at only to shake their heads. He sighs lowering the picture. "Thank you for your time." He turns and continues on his way glancing to some of his family's officers helping look in this area as they hurry around trying to cover as much ground as possible.

Because of the people hurrying around some people have stopped or slowed down depending if they are walking or driving as they obviously wonder what in the world is going on.

Though none of the officers helping with this are even so much as fazed by the attention and they just continue along in their search.

Kyouya looks down now worried about what is going to happen as he fears that they might not make it in time to save Kaoru. He knows how badly it'll affect him and the others in the host club especially Hikaru if something happens to Kaoru before they get there. He raises his head hardening his look behind the glare on his glasses again. "I have to focus and find him." He turns approaching a heterosexual couple and they stop to glance to him as he approaches. "Excuse me but have you seen this male?" He asks holding up the photo in which the couple look only to shake their heads.

"No sorry." The woman apologizes and looks into Kyouya's eyes that she can't see due to the glare on the ravens glasses, with worry and slight fear. "Is he a criminal or something?"

"A missing person." Kyouya informs them lowering the picture. "We're just hoping that he was spotted after he disappeared. Thank you for your time." He walks away and decides to go further down hoping that maybe if he tries another part he might get lucky. "So far nothing though." He glances to the sky in wonder. "Where are you Kaoru?" He asks to no one in particular but just wishing that in some way Kaoru could hear him or even Hikaru as he is sure that the older twin is looking around possibly calling out his brother's name.

Then maybe Kaoru would give up on whatever he is doing if he's reminded how much he means to the host club family… To Hikaru…

…..

The leader grabs the gun and aims it at Kaoru no longer cradling his injured hand. His ear to ear grin returned to his face. "Too bad for you."

Kaoru turns quickly just as another gang member pokes his head around the corner right by where the two stand guns pointed at one another, curious as what was going on.

"You didn't have a chance at winning. Especially all by yourself." The leader speaks with a chuckle in his tone. "And now you shall die for your pathetic foolishness!"

"I don't think so!" Kaoru responds with a hardened glare.

A smirk dances in the light in the leaders eyes. "Oh we'll see about that."

Two triggers are pulled with both hoping to shoot before the other has a chance to.

BANG!
