Chapter 11: Imprisoned

*Kaoru's P.O.V*

I opened my eyes and I quickly jolted up because of my unfamiliar surroundings. Where was I? I was on a small cot, and the frame was hard and pressed up against my backside, which was still excruciatingly sore and raw by the way. The room was cold, glacial to be exact. There was a dim light that gave off a flickering, orange glow in the corner of the room. The floors were cement, the walls were cement basically everything was cement. As my eyes roamed around the room one last time, I realized there was a bolted, steal door constructed right in the middle of the rough, colorless wall. I got up and limped towards the door, about halfway there I collapsed and skinned my knee in the process. I guess the drug Mori slipped me hadn't completely exited my system. The crimson liquid from under my skin poured from the fresh wound, it stung and I needed something to stop the bleeding. I looked around but there was virtually nothing in the room, so I just got up and prayed that I wouldn't get an infection from not cleaning the small cut with peroxide. When I got to the door I tried the most obvious thing and turned the handle, but it was locked and I wasn't surprised. What kind of kidnapper would leave their victim in an unlocked vicinity? Next, I pounded and kicked at the door, maybe if someone heard me they would let me out. Maybe I could return to Hikaru, maybe I would be able to feel his warm arms around me, seemingly protecting me from any and every evil thing that could be found in this world. Maybe I would be able to hear his loving voice, the voice that would comfort me whenever I was sad and whisper I was beautiful whenever I was so sure and confident that I was the most ugly, unattractive person in the world.

"Hey! Is anyone out there? Please! Help me!" I shouted desperate to break free from my prison. I kept that up for a good eight minutes until I was sure no one was going to come to my aid. I was crushed, my dreams of returning to Hikaru were diminished. I limped back to my cot and threw myself down. I grabbed a tattered pillow and threw it across the room in frustration. I was surprised to find a folded piece of paper lying where the pillow once was. My name was written in blue ink on the front of the note.

Kaoru, I'll be back in a while to bring you something to eat. I don't want to, but the last thing I need is to go jail for the rest of my life for killing you. Believe me, you're seriously not worth it. You're nothing, do you understand me? You are not a damn thing, wait I take that back. You are mine, and mine alone. So I guess that does make you something. I will use you whenever I want, oh and forget about Hikaru, you won't be seeing him ever again. I'll make sure of that. Go ahead and scream all you want, no one will ever hear you. From today on I am the only face you'll ever see, so you better learn to love me. If you behave yourself I won't have to punish you. Got it?

I fell to the floor and cried my amber eyes out, I had finally realized the severity of the situation. I had no idea where I was, I had no food or water, I was lonely and scared, and to top it all off Takashi Morinozuka was crazy! He could come back at any minute, and I wondered what spirits he would be in. I certainly hoped he wouldn't be angry and horny, that would only make things so much more strenuous for me. Oh god, I forgot about Hikaru! He would probably kill himself looking for me, so I had to escape for my big brother Hika. But at that moment I was tremendously heavy-eyed. I picked up my pillow and snuggled it to my chest, in a failed effort to replace Hikaru. I was freezing and my thin frame trembled terribly, I really needed a blanket. No, what I really needed was Hikaru's warmth beside me.

*The Next Day Hikaru's P.O.V*

"Okay everyone, thank you all for helping me find Kao. According to Mori-Senpai he has run away." I stood in front of almost half of the Ouran student body, mostly Kaoru's fan girls, in front of the academy. Even though Mori told me that Hikaru had left on his own free will I couldn't help but be inquisitive. I mean could anyone blame me after what Hunny-Senpai told me, why would he make something like that up? The first place we decided to search was Ouran high, I knew sometimes Kao would go into the maze to think, or clear his mind. Maybe I would find him there asleep and dreaming of me, curled up in a little ball. Maybe I could wrap my arms around him and take him back home. Maybe he would cry in my arms and his tears would stain my shirt, but I wouldn't mind. I would run my fingers through his now blonde spikes and whisper the sweetest little nothings into his ear as he let out all of the distress, resentment, fear, and pure depression.

"I have my own Ootori private police force searching outside of the academy, so all we have to worry about is searching the school grounds. I think the best thing to do in this situation is break off into groups of three." Kyouya stood in front of everyone and announced in his usual calm, cool and collected voice. Even though he put on the cool guy act, I could tell he wanted Kaoru home safe with his friends and family. I was grateful for his assistance, he really didn't have to deploy his private police force the way he did. I had told my mother about Kaoru's disappearance, but she was in France directing a fashion show for her new spring collection. Figures, she had left Kao and I alone our whole lives. I don't know why I expected her to be a little more concerned for her own child, I guess work comes before family for her.

"Right!" Tamaki-Senpai sounded. "I'll go with Kyouya and Haruhi! Hunny and Mori-Senpai and Hikaru, you three go together. Everybody else, decide amongst yourselves who your groups will be. Let's bring my son home safely!"

"Hey guys, I want to search in and around the outdoor maze first. Kao likes to go there to think sometimes, maybe he is there." I looked down and my eyes watered, tears threatened to fall from my amber orbs.

"Don't worry Hika-Chan! We will find Kao-Chan and bring him home safe. Please don't look so sad." Hunny sniffled and hugged Usa-Chan to his chest. Mori nodded in response.

"I miss him too." Mori-Senpai added in response. I stopped dead in my tracks. Hunny and Mori both shot me a confused glance.

"Ummm… Hunny-Senpai could you go on ahead, I want to talk to Mori-Senpai alone."

"Sure." Hunny walked ahead of us in the direction of the maze. It kinda looked like he limped a little or was that just me?

"Senpai…" I began when I was sure Hunny was out of earshot.

"Hm." Mori answered unhurriedly and somewhat uninterestedly.

"Please…" I paused to take a deep breath. "If you know anything about my little brother, if you hurt him…"

"Hikaru, I assure you I did nothing to hurt Kaoru. I have been in love with him ever since the first moment I met him. But I have only recently made my feelings known. You should have seen how happy he was when I confessed my love, he told me he has always felt the same way. He was overjoyed."

"But what Hunny-Senpai said…"

"Was a lie…" Mori had cut me off. "He was jealous because I haven't been spending the same amount of time with him since Kao and I started dating. But I try to make time whenever I can, I don't want to see Mitsukuni unhappy."

"Oh…" I guess I had no choice but to believe Mori. I didn't want to believe it, but Kaoru was in love with someone else. I can't say that I blame him, I mean I'm his own brother. It's sick and wrong for us to be together. I will just have to learn to accept my baby brothers and Mori-Senpai's new found love. No matter what path Kaoru takes, I will always love him.

"Mitsukuni! Wait up!" Mori called out to Hunny, he stopped and we ran up to him. Mori-Senpai picked him up from under his arms, but Hunny unexpectedly squealed and violently kicked his legs. He was desperate to free himself for Mori's grasp.

"Ow! Takashi! You're hurting me! Please!" Mori's eyes went wide with horror and he quickly put the brown eyed boy down.

"Mitsukuni whats wrong? Are you hurting somewhere?" Mori's voice was laced with panic, he was worried he had hurt his little, best friend.

"N-no I'm fine…I just don't want to be held right now." Hunny's eyes were filled to the brim with tears, some of them began to pour down his flushed cheeks.

"Mitsukuni? Tell me what's wrong?" Mori got onto his knees and took Usa-Chan from Hunny and handed him to me.

"I fell down the stairs yesterday." Hunny avoided eye contact with Mori.

"Don't lie to me Mitsukuni… Please tell me." Mori grabbed Hunny and pulled him into a loving, protective hug.

Hunny gave me an apologetic look. "I let him beat on me, I didn't fight back… I deserve it. I let him do it."

Mori quickly unbuttoned Hunny's shirt and pulled it from his small, trembling frame. Purple blotches outlined with black decorated every inch of his smooth, childlike body. He also had fresh cuts on his wrists, not to mention the ones that had scabbed over.

"Who did this to you? Mitsukuni! Answer me…" Mori was desperate for answers, I knew when he found out who hurt his Mitsukuni he would rip their throat out.

"I'm so sorry Hika-Chan, this is all my fault. If I just would have said something sooner…"

"Oh, god! Mitsukuni have you been cutting yourself?" Mori questioned frantically when he caught sight of the oozing silts that adorned each of his forearms. "I Promise I will stay by your side until you fully recover, I don't care how long it takes. You are my main priority. Forget about trying to find Kaoru today, we have to get you home. Believe me, I will find out who did this to you!" I could tell Hunny wanted to protest, but he nodded in silent agreement. Mori grabbed Usa-Chan from me, and he hurriedly walked away with Hunny in his arms.

I watched as Hunny and Mori-Senpai walked away, leaving me to find my little brother alone without help. Finally the two were out of sight.

*Two Days Later Kaoru's P.O.V*

I was losing my mind, I have been in solitude for… I don't even know how long it's been. I miss the sunshine, I haven't bathed in a while either. It wasn't that much of a problem though, I didn't sweat because it was so cold, so I didn't smell bad or anything. I was really hungry, Mori had never come back to feed me. I was terrified, is Mori trying to kill me? My knuckles were raw from punching the wall in frustration. I wanted Hikaru more than anything. I wondered if Mori was ever going to let me out. But my greatest wish was to see Hikaru's smiling face before I died.
