Chapter 12: Rainy day and a Sad song
"….we couldn't help them…"
Tamaki thought angrily, punching the floor.
"…Why!? WHY did it have to turn out this way!" Tamaki yelled.
"Tamaki! Instead of grieving, come here and help us." Kyoya yelled in frustration at his friend.
"How can you……we just witnessed our two friends die!" Tamaki screamed, tears welling up in his eyes.
"There still might be a chance. Have some hope for them damnit!" Kyoya told his friend. "Would they want you to be here and cry over their bodies and injured friends, or try and at least fix something? Tamaki!"
"Yes I know!….but" Tamaki's eyes closed.
"Kyoya." Mori and Hunny rushed towards them. "The medics are here." Mori said.
The medics came in, and the twins were suddenly stirring.
"Mi'lord? What happened?" They both asked and at sametime their eyes widened at Daiki's and Ryu's bodies.
"No questions now. Kyoya, I'm going in Saiyoki's ambulance, and take Haruhi to the Hospital as well." Tamaki got up trying to be composed.
"Okay." Kyoya replied watching him follow the medics.
OOOOOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOOOOOOooo
Saiyoki woke up to the sound of ambulances. She was lying down on stretcher. "Daiki… where is Onii-san?"
"Saiyoki-chan." Tamaki said sitting next to the medic. "Everything is going to be okay."
Saiyoki stared out of the window to see the rain beating down against the window. "Daddy….I am scared. It's like… the same time when okaa-san left."
Tamaki petted Saiyoki's blue locks. "Don't worry, I am here."
"WHERE IS DAIKI?!?!" Saiyoki suddenly cried out grabbing onto Tamaki's sleeve.
"Saiyoki, I am sorry, but…" Tamaki couldn't say it, he looked away at the lilac-eyed girl.
"NO-NO-NO-NO NOT AGAIN!!!" Saiyoki shrieked.
Suddenly the medic, pulled out a needle and sedated her.
VVVVV FLASH BACK VVVVV
"Okaa-san where are you going?" a 5-year-old Saiyoki asked.
"Yoki-chan, I am going to see a friend okay. So go back to bed." Harukia said petting Saiyoki's blue locks.
"Okaa-san, I have a bad feeling please don't leave." Saiyoki responded.
Harukia hugged Saiyoki tightly. "How about I sing to you. Will you then go to bed?"
"Okaa-san. I don't want you to leave." Saiyoki said.
Harukia smiled and carried Saiyoki to her yellow room that she painted for her 5th birthday. Tucking her in bed, Harukia started humming a sad tune.
When I am not here
Be strong for I am near
Do not fear
Let me be your strength
I can't kiss your tears
Anymore
I can't hold you in my arms
Anymore
Stay strong when…
I can't kiss your tears
Anymore
I can't hold you in my arms
Anymore
Saiyoki surely but slowly fell asleep. The lack of warmth next to her woke her up. She looked around her room only to see that Harukia wasn't there. "Okaa-san?"
Saiyoki heard the garage door open. So she leaped out of bed and rushed to the garage. "OKAA-SAN!!" She watched as her mom drive the mini van, away into the rainy street. The rain poured on the blue haired child, as she ran into the street trying to follow the car.
In the back seat, Saiyoki saw her brother in the trunk of the van shooing her away. "Daiki will protect her." Saiyoki reasoned with herself as the van drove farther and farther away. Finally after the van was out of sight she decided to walk back home.
Upon arriving home Saiyoki couldn't sleep. She waited for her mother and brother to come back. The horrible feeling in her stomach grew as the hours past.
Hiro Tsukiyomi received a call 7:00 in the morning from Daiki. That is when Saiyoki knew that something was wrong. Hiro told Saiyoki to stay home as he approached his car, but Saiyoki refused. So he let her come with him to pick up Daiki.
Hiro and Saiyoki went into the warehouse. Daiki was clutching Harukia crying. Hiro fell to his knees in shock and Saiyoki ran to her mother. She grabbed her mother's hand only to find the warmth that was once there gone. Tears sprung out of Saiyoki's eyes.
"I told you not to go." Saiyoki said bitterly. "I should have stopped you." Saiyoki shook and collapsed to her knees. "It's all my fault."
Daiki finally released Harukia and held Saiyoki in his arms. "It's not you're fault Saiyoki."
Hiro couldn't handle the fact that his one and only love was dead. He couldn't even bear to look at his kids for they reminded him too much of Harukia.
"Otou-san, where are you going?" Sayoki asked as she watched her father heading toward the exit.
"I… can't…" Hiro mumbled to himself. "…no… this …can't be…"
"Otou-san!?" Sayoki cried. "DON'T LEAVE US OTOU-SAN!!!"
Hiro ignored them and left the warehouse.
"Sayoki it's okay." Daiki said sniffling. "He's not leaving us. He's probably just getting something."
The car engine roared and died off in the distance.
"Daiki he left us." Saiyoki said weeping bitterly in his arms.
"He…" Daiki stopped in mid-sentence.
"Now I don't have a mom or a dad." She muttered to herself.
Daiki held on to her tighter and wept. "If he's not going to be a father to you I will."
After ambulances reached the scene and police where done questioning Daiki and Saiyoki.They walked home. When they reached their house they were soaking wet from the rain. Voices echoed the halls of the empty house; in their father's bedroom they found a woman comforting Hiro.
"Daiki, Saiyoki," Hiro said, "This is Lilith."
VVVVVV End of Flashback VVVVV….In the Hospital room of Saiyoki and Haruhi….
The Host club members arrived as soon as they can, which wasn't that fast because of the rain.
"Kyoya-sama." A doctor nodded at Kyoya who nodded back.
"How are they?" he asked.
"Those two, Tsukiyomi and Fujioka….they have some bruises. Especially Fujihoka. It seems she took some sort of impact when falling and isn't waking up yet. However, the little girl is fine, a couple bruises on the face and arms."
"Alright." Kyoya replied. "Someone call the Tsukiyomi household and tell them that Sayoki is in the hospital."
"What about Daiki?" Tamaki asked.
"Tell Lilith that Daiki is dead." Kyoya said. "She needs to come to the mortuary to verify that it is his body."
Kaoru approached Saiyoki's bed, and pushed her bangs aside uncovering some bruises on her face. "I thought that she was only hit in the stomach."
"I don't remember her getting hit in the face." Hikaru said.
"Those are old bruise. It seems like she had that for a while. The ones on her arms are starting to fade also." The doctor said.
"Lilith physically abused her." Mori said.
"Are you serious?" Tamaki said looking at the small child with sorrow in his eyes.
"Who else would have done it?" Mori said somberly.
"Is Saiyoki going to be okay?" Hunny said in a small voice.
"Physically she will get better, but she just had a mental break down in the ambulance on our way here." Tamaki said.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Kyoya took out Ryu's tracking device from a drawer he kept her things in.
"We took care of Daiki ahead of schedule." Said Ryu's mom.
"You did?!?" Lilith said full of joy. The host club members looked at the tracking device disgustingly.
"Yes."
"Well good. I changed my mind about Saiyoki." Lilith said. "I want you to kill her too. It should be easier since her brother is out of the way."
The Host Club's eyes widened, their jaws dropped.
"She's in the hospital right now so that shouldn't be hard. I'll send someone right away." Ryu's mom said, "Also, the matter of payment."
"Oh crap." Hikaru muttered.
"I'll meet you at the hospital. I have to go there anyways to check Daiki's body. I'll probably be there to check on Saiyoki's body too." Lilith said.
"Oh crappity crap." Kaoru clenched his fist.
"Okay. I will see you then."
The message ended.
"SHE WANTS TO KILL SAIYOKI TOO!!!" Tamak and Hunny exclaimed.
"Apparently." Kyoya said.
"We have to protect her." Hunny said looking left and right for anyone suspicious.
"Ah." Mori agreed.
"They'll probably send in Ryoki again." Hikaru said.
"What are we going to do about Lilith?" Kaoru said.
"We can't have any casualties." Kyoya said, "So I'll have her sent to the top floor. No one is there."
Beep. Beep. Beep. The device blinked again.
"TSURUGI!!!" Lilith said in anger.
The host club jumped at the woman's shriek.
"What?" said an irritated woman.
"HIRO! THAT JERK!" Lilith said. "He-he… on his will."
"What do you want me to kill him too?"
"What is it with them and killing?!?" Hikaru gritted through his teeth.
"NO… not yet it will be too suspicious." Lilith said.
"Then what is it?"
"If Daiki and Saiyoki were dead, it said in the will to leave the rest of the fortune to a Haruhi Fujioka… their cousin." Lilith said in frustation. "Apparently Harukia had a twin sister Kotoko who married Ryoji Fujioka and they had Haruhi."
"Don't tell me…" Tamaki eyes showed fear.
"So do you want to kill her too?" asked the woman on the other line.
"YES!!!" Lilith said, "I can't have some nobody stealing the Tsukiyomi fortune and the title of Houyoku Ake!"
"NO!" Tamaki exclaimed and grasped up Haruhi's hand in his. "Not my precious daughterrrrr!!!!"
Hikaru fell to his knees and Kaoru tried to comfort him. Kyoya's fist shook in anger, breaking his pen. Hunny punched the wall, while Mori eyes flashed in anger.
"Okay okay, what are friends for." The woman said sarcastically.
"Friends?! Sisters what are sisters for you mean damnit." Lilith hissed.
The Host Club eyes widened.
"Alright, alright. Stepsister, I'll kill her and Saiyoki too." The woman said. "Just don't forget the money."
"Right." Lilith replied and the call ended.
"Alright we'll move both of them to the top floor." Kyoya said angrily.
VVVVVVvvv… O.O … vvvVVVV
Daiki woke up to blinding lights. The whole room was white. "Am I in heaven?"
"No." said a voice from behind him.
"I AM IN HELL?!?!?!" Daiki exclaimed.
"Sure." Ryu smirked looking at a frantic Daiki.
"ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?!" Daiki exclaimed.
"No." Ryu said. "You are not dead. I staged the whole thing."
"Oh." Daiki said, "What about Saiyoki? Does she know that I am alive?"
"Crap. I forgot about that." Ryu muttered. "I knew I forgot something…"
"YOU FORGOT!?!" Daiki cried getting off the hospital bed.
"Well I had a lot of things on my mind…" Ryu began. "First I had to think of something… I mean I saw Ryoki in the cameras in the classroom, then I had to scrounge up some fake blood and Otohime's poison."
"Otohime?" Daiki questioned.
"She was a subordinate of mine whose specialty is poisons." Ryu explained. "I had to call her up and she flew down here fast. She also gave me the antidote." Ryu said holding up a vial. "The poison causes paralysis then the victim to dies in their sleep."
"I thought that Ryoki killed you." Daiki said.
"No, I knew that she would aim for my heart. So I wore a bullet-proof vest and bags full of blood. I also snuck a pill with fake blood in my mouth so that it would look more real." Ryu said, "Thank God that Kyoya picked up his phone before I went into the club."
"So Kyoya knows that we are not dead." Daiki said.
"Yeah, I told him not to tell anyone else so that it could look more real if there were anymore spys about." Ryu explained.
"So what do we do now?" Daiki asked.
"Well, I just received a text from Kyoya saying that they want to kill Saiyoki and Haruhi next." Ryu said. "Yeah and that Lilith is my step-aunt. That is why Ryujin was so involved with Houyoko Ake."
"LILITH WANTS TO KILL SAIYOKI AND HARUHI!!!" Daiki clenched the bars of the hospital bed.
"Yeah, and your father too eventually." Ryu said packing a throwing knife in her boot. "Lilith's also been beating Saiyoki too. She has bruises on her face and arms."
"She… THAT BITCH I AM GOING TO KILL HER!!!" Daiki said.
"Yeah well, she will be here in a few minutes. I put a fake body in the mortuary." Ryu said. "Then she'll be on the top floor to meet my mom for the money." Ryu handed Daiki his gunblade.
"Where did you get this?" Daiki said holding his imitation gunblade from final fantasy.
"I found it in your room and borrowed it." Ryu said casually.
"You know what? I won't even bother asking how and when you got this without me knowing…." Daiki sighed holding up his sword.
"Ok." Ryu shrugged. "Kyoya said that there was a staff only elevator near here we could use to go to the top floor so let's go." Ryu then motioned him to follow her.
VVV… Elevator was playing "Girl From Ipanema," in the speakers…VVV
"Do do doo do doo do dododo do" Ryu imitated the song.
"Bing. 2nd floor." The cheery voice said through the intercom.
"How can you stand there so calm." Daiki said.
"Bing. 3rd floor." The cheery voice anounced.
"Daiki trust me everything is going to be okay." Ryu said looking into Daiki's violet eyes. "Believe me."
"Bing. 4th floor." Said the cheery voice.
"When you-you kissed me did you mean it, I mean the whole love bit?" Daiki asked spotting something on the ground.
"Bing. 5th floor." The cheery voice said.
"When I said that I love you?" Ryu said. She smiled then she took Daiki's hand. "I meant it, more than anything Daiki."
"Bing. 6th floor." The cheery voice said.
Daiki focused harder on the ground. "Ryu, I told Ryoki I liked her, bu-but it was meant for you an-and I do too, Ryuki."
"Bing. 7th floor." Announced the cheery voice.
"Do what?" Ryu said playing with him.
"Bing. 8th floor."
"…"
"Bing. 9th floor."
"I l-love you t-too." Daiki blushed then focused on the spot even harder than before as if he could burn a hole with his eyes through it.
"Bing. 10th floor."
Ryu smiled then kissed his hand.
"Bing. 11th floor."
"Do you still have that lipstick on?" Daiki even blushed harder.
"Bing. 12th floor."
Ryu shook her head.
Daiki hit the emergency stop button.
Then he grabbed Ryu's arms and kissed her on the lips. Ryu's heart fluttered and she blushed. She then kissed him back and their tongues where dancing in each other's mouth. Ryu wrapped her arms around him hugging him tighter.
… a couple of mins later after making out O.O…
"…ok Daiki…" Ryu panted gasping much needed air. "We have… to save Sayoki-chan… and Haruhi-chan."
"…yeah…" Daiki said then he gave Ryu one last peck on the forehead and hit the emergency stop button again.
"Top-floor." The cheery voice said.
VVVVVVVvvvv A FEW MINUTES BEFORE DAIKI AND RYU REACHED THE TOP FLOOR vvvvvvVVVVVV
Saiyoki woke up in a bright room surrounded by the Host Club members. Haruhi was still asleep in the bed next to her.
"Whe-re am I?" Saiyoki asked.
"You're in the Otoori Hospital and Lilith sent someone to kill you and Haruhi." Kyoya said.
"Oh." Saiyoki respond numbly. Suddenly all the memories of earlier that day flooded throughout her mind. Her eyes glowed amethyst. Purple aura emitted out of her and she leaped off her bed.
Tamaki was about to say, "Saiyoki are you-"
"Take care of Haru-chan!" Saiyoki barked. "I'll beat that poser!"
"Yes madam!" Hikaru and Kaoru saluted.
"Bing top floor." The public elevator announced. It opened up and Ryoki was there with another woman.
"Hello Yokichan!" Ryoki mocked pulling out a gun on her. Saiyoki flipped in the air kicking the gun out of her hands. Ryoki smiled, "Heh, it looks like I am going to have fun with you."
"YOU KILLED MY BROTHER AND RYU!!!" Saiyoki hissed then she kicked Ryoki and sent her flying into a wall.
Ryoki got up, "IS THAT ALL YOU'VE GOT RUNT!!!" Ryoki then punched Saiyoki, making her slide across the floor.
"Bing. Top floor." Said the public elevator.
Lilith stepped out of the elevator and grinned reminiscing about Daiki's dead carcass sitting on the metal table.
"Lilith." The woman with the golden eyes said to her stepsister.
"Akumi." Lilith said in response to the golden-eyed woman. "It's been what three years since Harukia's death."
"Yeah." Lilith said watching Saiyoki fly to Ryoki kicking her side.
Haruhi woke up to load banging noises. She sat straight up from her bed and saw Ryoki being thrown across the room.
"When was the last time we met?" Akumi asked.
"Hmm ten years ago… I think it was that one time where that one pesky lawyer tried to put me in jail. Then I asked you to kill her." Lilith said.
"Oh what was her name again…" Akumi asked. "Koko? No… Koto?…no…"
"KOTOKO?!?" Haruhi exclaimed.
Akumi's eyes widened when she saw Haruhi. "Yeah. How did you know?"
"BECAUSE I AM HER DAUGHTER!!!" Haruhi said launching herself out of the bed to the woman.
Akumi smirked coldly and Mori-sempai grabbed Haruhi before she did anything rash. Hunny stood in front of them, holding out his kunai.
"Bing. Top floor." Said the staff elevator on the opposite wall facing the public elevator.
Ryu threw a smoke bomb for effect. Then a gun fired off hitting Lilith in the throat. Ryu walked out of the elevator and watched Lilith's blood pour out of her throat. She was choking and glaring at Ryu. Ryu picked up her gun and shot Lilith in the head.
"I knew you were alive Ryuki." Akumi said giving her a hug. Ryu flinched and pulled herself away from Akumi.
"Get away from me." Ryu said coldly.
"YUKI?!?!" Ryoki said looking at Ryu stupefied. "I thought I killed you."
"Guess again." Daiki said swinging his gunblade and hitting Ryoki with the broad side of the blade. Ryoki then soared through the window.
Grabbing onto the windowsill, Ryoki screeched, "Okaa-san help me!"
Akumi marched up to the window, "Ryoki you should have died. I am glad that you didn't kill, no, you couldn't kill Ryuki."
"I'm your number onel! I am. Not her!" Ryoki cried.
"Good-bye Yoki-chan." Akumi said grabbing Ryoki's wrists.
"NOOO OKAA-SAANN!!!" Ryoki cried.
Ryu couldn't bear her sister's plea. So she ran up to the windowsill pushing Akumi aside, she grabbed Ryoki's hand. "Ryoki here grab my other hand!" Ryuki commanded offering her other hand.
"NOT YOU!!!" Ryoki screamed. "LET GO DON'T TOUCH ME!! YOU FILTHY…" Ryoki then pulled out a gun from her other pocket and aimed it at Ryu's face. At the same time Akumi pulled out her gun and shot Ryoki, causing Ryu to let go of Ryoki, causing Ryoki to miss Ryu and shoot Akumi.
Akumi died before she hit the ground and so did Ryoki. A pool of blood surrounded Lilith's body.
"Dai-daiki is that really you?" Saiyoki wept at the sight of her brother.
Daiki nodded. With arms stretched out Saiyoki raced into his embrace.
"I am sorry for making you cry Saiyoki." Daiki said holding her in his arms.
Saiyoki shook her head, "I am just glad that you are alive."
Ryu sat by the windowsill next to her dead mother and broken shards of glass. "I am finally free. Yet, why do I feel so sad?" Ryu mumbled to herself. Ryu sat there thinking and sinking lower into depression. "Why did she hate me so much? Why did Akumi like me better than Ryoki?"
Daiki the went up to Ryu, "Ryu trust me everything is going to be okay." Daiki said looking into Ryu's golden eyes. "Believe me."
Ryu then hung onto Daiki, as if he was a life raft, and cried on one arm, while Saiyoki was being held in the other arm. Then the Host Club took this moment as an opportunity for a group hug.
"Bing. Top floor." Said the public elevator. The doors opened and Otohime stepped out of it with Jin.
Otohime said, "I thought Ryu, you needed a little help-"
"Well I guess it is too late for that." Jin said looking at the bloody mess.
Otohime stood there, shock that the leader of the Ryujin organization was dead. Jin out the window and saw Ryoki's bullet hole body on top of one of the awnings dead. "She could have survived that fall if that bullet didn't shoot her." Jin mumbled to himself.
"Bing. Top floor." The public elevator said. The doors opened up and a group of five people stepped out of the elevator.
"Tsurugi-sama we came to help-"
"Too late she's already dead." Otohime said.
"Who killed her?" One of the men asked. "Who ever kills the Ryujin leader becomes the next leader."
"She did it!" Saiyoki said pointing to Otohime.
Otohime's eyes widened. "Wh-what?"
"Otohime… leader of the special division in Ryujin…" One of the men said.
"Otohime-sama, would you like us to silence the witnesses?" said another man aiming his gun to Tamaki.
"BAKA! These are the people we were hired to protect!" Otohime lied.
"YES MA'MAM!" The four men shouted.
Otohime cleared her throat, "Now as leader of Ryujin, I want you to drop the case of Ryuki Tsurugi. Ryuki is -"
"Dead. Akumi Tsurugi killed her." Ryu said.
"Don't interrupt Otohime-sama, little girl!" One of the men said pointing his gun at her.
"The number one assassin in Ryujin is dead?" said another man.
"Yeah, so she won't be killing anymore." Ryu said smiling triumphantly.
