Chapter twelve:
Walking down the stairs, currently about half way, is the person Hikaru is looking for.
Hikaru's eyes narrow in rage. "JASON!" He shouts to the other.
Jason stops walking foot a few inches from the next step. He brings it back to the step his other foot is on so he is standing on a single step. He shifts his body so he is facing to the left with his side facing Hikaru as he looks to the other. He is calm as if he had been expecting Hikaru.
Hikaru walks down half way to Jason then stops there. He glares a death glare at Jason.
Jason chuckles. "So you've finally figured it out. Huh?"
Hikaru clenches his fists in rage. "So it was you." He growls.
Jason gives a confident smirk to Hikaru. "It took you long enough."
Hikaru snarls and if deaths could kill then Jason would be nothing more than little pieces too small even for a mouse. "How dare you!" He snarls starting to raise a fist.
Jason doesn't look any less confident.
Hikaru charges. "I'LL KILL YOU!" He yells in pure rage as he raises his fist to strike.
Jason turns to face Hikaru not even leaning back as he waits.
Hikaru swings his fist towards Jason's face.
Jason swiftly raises a hand and catches Hikaru's fist with ease. He is smirking wide at the ginger haired boy.
Hikaru raises his other fist to strike.
"Hold on." Jason says still in great confidence. "You can hit me if you want." He says. "But that will only make you look much guiltier." He tells the other. "Then you would be sent to jail for your brother's death." He smirks a little wider. "Maybe it'll make your brothers spirit be put into pain seeing that happen to you."
Hikaru's narrow with rage that looks like the kind of rage where there is no return. "YOU WORTHLESS SON OF A BITCH!" He goes to punch Jason with his other fist but like the other Jason catches it. He tries to push Jason down the stairs but Jason and him are at about equal strength with this in Jason's favor.
"Oh come now." Jason mocks. "Is this really all you got? You don't think my flirting hasn't gotten me into fights before hm? Well I must thank all those before you." He looks evilly at Hikaru. "Because you won't beat me. You can't even pin this on me since you have no proof." He taunts.
Hikaru pushes harder but still no luck.
"You know I can kill you just as easily as I did your brother." Jason tells Hikaru in a smooth voice.
"Why the hell did you do it? You lusted after him that much is obvious but why did you rape him let alone kill him!?" Hikaru demands as he continues to try to push Jason down.
"I got what I wanted from him. Besides I knew he would never allow me anything especially all the times he's rejected people even after joining the host club." Jason says. "Including me." He stares right into Hikaru's eyes. "So on that day in that Thunderstorm I found him in his weakened state. It was too good of an opportunity to pass up on. I just grabbed him and dragged him off. He struggled too much so I went as quick as I could. He was pretty easy to over power and I knew I couldn't have him exposing me so I did the only thing I knew to silence him." He looks insane and evil.
Hikaru roars in rage and tries to push harder but Jason is still not tumbling down the stairs as he continues to counter Hikaru's pushes so he doesn't even need to take a step back.
"Now that you are a suspect for your brother's death I'm just waiting for them to lock your ass up." Jason sneers.
Hikaru continues to try to push Jason down. "You'll be the one locked up." He growls.
Jason smirks. "Oh we'll see about that." He says then suddenly he turns Hikaru throwing him down.
Hikaru tumbles down the stairs and lands at the bottom laying on his stomach seeming unconscious.
Jason stares down at Hikaru with uncaring eyes. "I told you. I could end you as easily as your brother." He says. "Your freedom is coming to an end. Enjoy." He turns climbing back up the stairs.
"Ow." Hikaru slightly whimpers at his pain.
Jason pauses. "Hm?" He turns to look to Hikaru as the ginger haired male tries to shift only to get more pain. "So you're still conscious. Well a word of advice. I would let yourself cry cause when they come to lock your ass up then it'll look better for you." He turns away and climbs to the top of the stairs. "Don't worry. I'll make sure your found but as I said. Enjoy your last moments of freedom." He then leaves heading off somewhere.
Hikaru groans in pain finding it too painful to even sit up. "You son of a bitch. When I'm done with you then you'll wish you had never been born." He growls to himself the words meant for Jason. "You'll be the one locked up, maybe even be giving a harsh death penalty for what you've done. I hope you die in the worst way possible." He tries to get up but the pain is too great and he falls into the darkness that was shivering around the edges of his vision now taking his whole vision.
Else where…
"I tried to stop him. But he said that he couldn't let anyone find out what he had done. He killed his brother I'm sure of it. He looks hurt since he threw himself down the stairs." Jason says wide eyed at the adult of the closest class room he could find. "He almost took me down with him. I think he wants to pin what he did onto me." He whimpers. "Please. Please don't let that monster get me locked up!"
A little later…
Hikaru groans as he starts to awaken. He blinks his eyes open and finds he is staring at a hospital ceiling. He blinks since his vision is a little blurry as he tries to focus his sight. He finally gets it alright then he turns to look to who is here. He spots two police officers standing guard on either side of the door standing on the inside of the room. His heart fills with hope that they are only there to keep him as a witness or someone to testify against Jason.
An investigator, a nurse and a doctor come into the room.
"Good to see you're awake." The investigator says.
Hikaru is about to try to sit up but his body feels a little numb.
The nurse moves to his side and gently puts a hand on his chest making Hikaru turn to her. "Don't sit up. You need to recover." She tells him. "You were very lucky. You almost broke your spine and a few other bones but you were very lucky not to have actually broken anything. So stay laying down. We can't risk you possibly breaking anything."
Hikaru stops his attempts to sit up.
The nurse releases him then backs off.
The investigator steps forward. "Hikaru Hitachiin." He begins making Hikaru look to him. "I am investigator Tom Gurgaon." He introduces himself. "And I need to ask you some questions. Can you speak?"
"Yeah." Hikaru says in a slightly raspy voice.
"Good." The investigator pulls out a note pad. "So why did you do it?" He asks watching Hikaru.
Hikaru blinks confused. "Do what?" His raspy tone probably will be with him through the whole interrogation.
"Why did you kill your brother? Was it because he rejected you for a real relationship? Was he tired of doing your act in the host club?" The investigator asks.
"N-No." Hikaru's eyes slightly widen as he shakes his head softly. "I didn't-" He tries to let the investigator know it wasn't him.
"Don't play games with us." The investigator says sternly. "I'm here to get to the truth so give it to me." He says.
Hikaru didn't even notice the beeping of the heart monitor that is now picking up the pace as his heart races. "No." His eyes start to look watery. "N-No please." He whimpers hoping this is a nightmare.
"You threw yourself down the stairs." Tom the investigator says. "You didn't want anyone to find out what you had done." He explains. "So if you tell us why you did what you did to your brother then I'll see if I can have the judge not give you the death penalty."
Hikaru's eyes have tears threating to fall. "But." He tries to protest again then suddenly there is a 'Halt' at the door area.
Those in the room turn to see what's going on.
Kyouya stands there and looks to the two police men. "Stop me and I can put your asses into unemployment. You wouldn't stop an Ootori would you?"
The police men hesitate as they recognize Kyouya then they let him pass.
Kyouya moves into the room.
Hikaru looks away as he tries to keep himself from crying.
"Now if you would excuse us I would like to talk to Hikaru alone." Kyouya says looking expectedly to the others in the room.
"Don't you dare think that you get to boss me around. I am here to collect the truth and I am not leaving here without it." Tom says to Kyouya then looks to Hikaru. "So spill it boy. Tell us why you did it."
"Leave the room and let us talk alone." Kyouya tells the investigator in a warning tone.
Tom turns to Kyouya. "Step back and let me do my job."
"If you don't leave I can give in a statement to where you work for and I can easily get your job taken from you. If you must remember I am an Ootori." Kyouya says watching Tom through the glare of his glasses.
"You don't intimidate me." Tom says.
Kyouya takes out his cell and raises it. "Fine. I'll call where you work and do it right in front of you." His thumb reaches towards the number buttons.
Tom's eyes widen then he growls. "Fine you win for now." He says. "But this isn't over." He then leaves.
"Please leave the room everyone. It'll be easier on Hikaru." Kyouya looks to everyone else.
The doctor and nurse leave and the police men shift to stand outside the door as it's closed behind the two police men.
Kyouya turns to Hikaru as the ginger haired male lets his tears fall but he won't look to Hikaru. "Hikaru." He begins.
"I didn't do it." Hikaru almost whispers in a broken voice.
"I know you didn't." Kyouya responds.
Hikaru almost turns to Kyouya surprised but still tearful though he manages not to since he still isn't sure he can trust Kyouya since this could be a trick.
"But in order to help prove your innocence I'll need your help." Kyouya moves closer to Hikaru. "Jason did it. Didn't he?"
Hikaru lets his eyes flicker to Kyouya. "Y-Yeah." He responds.
Kyouya nods and pushes up his glasses. "I knew it. Well it seems he's had a history of getting into a lot of cases about raped and murdered cases of people from the same school as him since JR high. He has about five that I was able to uncover but it wasn't easy. They were blocked so we didn't even know they were there until a lot of threating had to go down to those who blocked it." He explains. "If we can prove his guiltiness then we can also show he killed the others that he got others in jail being falsely accused." He moves to Hikaru's side. "I plan on getting Jason to have the worst death penalty I can get after sometime in the worst prison there is here. But…." He looks expectantly at Hikaru. "I'll need your cooperation. I know you probably are having trust issues because of everything that has gone on but I need you to trust me so I can help you. All of our friends and our host club family is standing behind us in this. They are ready to help. So please. Join us and help us get Jason what he deserves."
Hikaru blinks at Kyouya's words.
