A/N Hello my lovelies I know I'm really really late, and I'm sorry! I just got a summer job and it's taking up all my time! I'm sooooo sorry, but I hope this will make it a bit better. Also I'm skipping the episode where they go to Haruhi's house, cause I've got something better planed! (Ps. I will NOT be giving up on this story! I've gone too far to stop now!)
3rd person pov:
The host club room was unusually silent. All the boys had left already and Isami was waiting for Haruhi's father to pick her up. Something about taking Haruhi dress shopping.
For the past few days Isami has been acting strange. She's a lot quieter then normal and more vigilant as well.
Right now, she's sitting calmly at her desk keeping an eye on anything that moves, until Haruhi comes over and breaks her concentration.
"Isami, why have you been so serious lately?" Haruhi looks at her friend with concern.
"No reason" Isami says plainly, but the truth is that she has had a really strong feeling that something bad is going to happen soon, and she just doesn't want to worry Haruhi.
Haruhi doesn't believe her, but knows better then to push it. "Ok, well my dad is outside, so I'll see you Monday?" Haruhi gets her bag and reluctantly backs up to leave.
"Right" Isami nods and walks her out, waving goodbye before heading back to the club room.
This feeling unnerved Isami so she did a quick check to insure all her cameras, in the host room, were in working order. As well as check all the locks on the windows.
It took her a lot longer then expected since every time she heard a noise she stopped to check it out. So she ended up walking out of the club room around 11pm.
She walked home quickly, ears perking up at any sound, and eyes scanning over anything that so much as twitched.
She was no more then 150 feet from her apartment when a black van slowly started to follow her.
Isami is not stupid she could sense the van and was quite curious as to who would be stalking her; A past enemy (man, there is a lot of those), an old employer, just a normal perv, or a kidnapper?
She was just going to turn down an alley and head to the apartment, but then she saw Haruhi outside hanging clothes to dry, and so she won't endanger her, she turned around. But when she turned a cloth came over her mouth and the men dragged her into the van.
Isami's pov:
You know the funny thing about chloroform is that after you're in the line of work I am, you get used to it.
I could of fought back, but that would of caused a scene and no doubt Haruhi would of seen it. So I'll just ride this out and see who they are and what they want.
They think I'm unconscious right now so I can use this to my advantage, and gather as much info as possible.
Haruhi's pov:
I'm frozen, I can't move. I just saw my best friend get kidnapped! I was just hanging up clothes and at the very corner of the street I saw a familiar figure get dragged into a van. I have no doubt it was Isami, no one can mistake that red hair.
I gotta call someone! The police? No the police would take to long! I'll call Kyoya, he has his police force, they can help!
I rush into the house and tell my dad what happened, and we make the call.
Kyoya pov:
I groan and pick up my phone, sitting up from my bed. "Haruhi, this better be important!" I growl in irritation.
"Kyoya! Isami's been taken!" Haruhi's voice comes through the phone, urgency and fear in her voice.
"What do you mean, what happened?!" I ask in worry as I pull on a shirt and grab my laptop, racing out of the house.
Tamaki's Pov:
"What?! Where did she go!" I shout in fear at the phone.
"That's the problem! We don't know where she is, only that she was taken" Kyoya says back quickly.
"I'm on my way!" I hang up the phone and head to Haruhi's house the whole time just praying for Isami's safety. She's a lot more important to the club then she thinks.
The Hikaru's Pov:
I pace our room nervously as Kaoru gets dressed.
We just got a call from Tamaki that Isami had been kidnapped, and Kyoya confirmed it.
My stomach is in knots and I feel like I'm just in a bad dream and any moment I'll wake up.
Kaoru comes out of the bathroom, "Let's go!" He grabs my arm and we run down the stairs and jump into the car, going as fast as the driver would allow, to Haruhi's house.
Honey's Pov:
I was in the middle of my special cake night when I received a phone call.
"Hello?" I answered with a mouth full of cake.
"Honey-sempi, Isami has been kidnapped" It was Kyoya, wait did he just say Isami was kidnapped?!
The cake in my mouth turns to sawdust and I actually spit it out. "What do you mean?"
"I'm calling an emergency meeting at Haruhi's house, we will explain it all there, but I need you to get Mori-sempi, and get over her as fast as possible."
Suddenly the line goes dead and I rise from my seat. I run all the way to Takashi's room. All the while flashes of her scars appear in my mind.
I actually stop for a moment as the urge to vomit overwhelms me as I think of her getting more scars by whoever took her. No! I won't let that happen!
I run as fast as my legs would allow and throw open Takashi's door.
"Takashi!"
Mori's pov:
I rub the sleep from my eyes as I look at my cousin who has tears forming in his eyes.
I sit up sharply, he never cries for real, only when he is playing the boy lolita.
"What's wrong?" I ask throwing off the covers.
He runs over and grabs my hands, pulling me up roughly and dragging me into the hall. "Isami's been kidnapped"
I freeze in my tracks and the panic starts to build. "W-what?" I look down and Mitsukuni nods. "Kyoya wants us at Haruhi's house to tell us what happened.
Now I'm the one dragging Mitsukuni outside and to the car.
Why does bad things always happen to Isami?! I shout to whoever's in charge. (Cause it wouldn't be a good story if nothing ever happened to her:/ )
My chest feels like it might explode, I have never felt such panic before. Even when I thought Isami was dead. Because this time, her being kidnapped, means someone was able to take her down, and who knows what they are doing to her!
Isami's pov:
The ride has been going on for about 20 minutes, and I'm listening carefully as the men start discussing their motive and plans, how convenient.
"So let me get this straight, we took this girl to get back at Ootori?" One of the men asks, as I lay unmoving on the car floor.
"Yes you idiot! He's the reason we were fired!" The leader of sorts hollers. as the driver takes some sharp right turns.
"Ok, but why her?" The stupid one asks.
"Because she is apart of Ootori's group of friends! Surely he's going to want her back, and once he meets our demands, he will." The leader says with confidence.
"Ok but how do we know he won't just call the cops?" The one who's been silent this whole time asks.
Are they really just figuring this out right now? Noobs.
"Easy, we have men on the inside they will not only keep an eye on him, but also give us leverage!" The leader reasons.
Now they have my attention. I'm going to assume these men were once on the Black Onion Squad, and that they were fired after the pool incident.
Now they want revenge, and money. They also seem to have friends who are currently working as double agents for them. Not good.
"All right well make the call! Hurry, while we are still moving." The driver calls back to the other three men.
The leader, I guess, nods and I hear a phone open and numbers being pressed.
I gotta stop him from making that call!
I moan and start moving, turning their attention on me. "Hey I thought she wasn't supposed to wake up for an hour!" The stupid one calls, pointing at me.
I open my eyes with fake fear and back into the corner, maybe if I play the scared girl they won't check me for weapons.
Now that I can see I take in the men. The leader is about 6'3 and has dark black hair and simple gun at his side. the stupid one is maybe four inches taller then me, light blonde hair, a bit of a beard, and a knife in his belt. The quite one is about Mori's height and is buff, he has a nice sword at his side. The drive is a small man compared to the others, he look like he doesn't even want to be here.
"W-what do y-you w-want with m-me" I stutter, and for a second I even convince myself that I'm helpless. Wow maybe I should be an actor.
The men chuckle and the leader sits down in front of me. "Relax girly, we won't hurt you, provided you behave." He pats my cheek, and looks at me like I'm a piece of meat.
Ok ew, dammit this is why I hate playing the scared girl! Despite the scorn I feel towards this man I look at him fearfully. "W-what's going on" I cry out.
"It's quite simple, we are just going to keep you until your friend Ootori gives us what we want."
"A-and if he doesn't" I ask in a way that sounds like I'm more fearful for myself then what happens to Kyoya.
"Well then things will get a bit complicated." The leader sneers and the car stops, at this five- story old warehouse.
They take me up to the third floor and tie me to a pole with some worn out rope, leaving me alone in the room.
It's so hard not to roll my eyes, at these men and their constant mistakes, but no matter how stupid they are they still have men on the inside, and I need to find out who.
3rd person pov:
Back at Haruhi's house there was sorrow and panic in the air, as the boys go over what Haruhi knows, as well as the best way to handle the situation.
Kyoya had already tried tracing Isami's phone, but surprise surprise nothing showed up, and they were left at a dead end.
"Why aren't we calling to police yet!" Tamaki shouts at the group.
"Because, Tamaki a person must be missing for at least 24 hours to be considered a 'missing', and by then it will be too late" Kyoya snaps back.
"Why not just call the Black Onion Squad?" Haruhi asks, with a slight edge in her voice.
"Last time we called them, they almost killed her." Kyoya spits sharply.
"Do we really have a choice, I mean this is just Isami's LIFE we are talking about!" Hikaru shouts, enraged.
Everyone's patience is running thin, and everyone is stressed out. Turning on each other rather then focusing on helping Isami.
They argue back and forth until Ranka steps in. "Enough! The longer you all stand here arguing, the longer Isami remains missing! Now stop fighting and focus on finding her!"
Everyone goes quite, and quickly realize Ranka is right and they turn serious.
"I'll call the Black Onion Squad" Kyoya says flipping open his phone, only to see he has a text. 'Don't trust the Black Onion Squad' from an unknown number.
Kyoya is taken a back by the message, and he shows everyone else. "What does that mean" Honey asks.
"I don't know, It could just be a plot to keep us from getting help, or it could be telling us that the Squad has something to do with this." Kyoya thinks carefully.
"But what would the Black Onion squad want with Isami? What's their motive" Haruhi asks logically.
Kyoya thinks carefully about anything that might be a reason for some of his men to want Isami, and then it dawns on him.
"Revenge" Kyoya shuts off his phone and starts to form a hypothesis.
Isami's Pov:
I wait patiently for the men to return and this time we aren't going to play the scared little girl.
SLAM! The leader slams open the door and walks in followed by the other three men, completely ignoring me.
"What the hell happened!" the stupid one shouts.
"I tried to call, but Ootori's phone is shut off!" The leader shouts, and I laugh loudly.
They turn to look at me, and the leader takes a step towards me. "Something funny?" He ask in absolute rage.
"Actually, yes, you really didn't think this through did you?" I say lifting one eyebrow.
The men are shocked that the scared little girl they brought in, now is full of confidence and talking back.
"I can tell you five mistakes you made right off the back." I say with a smirk, leaning against the pole.
"And what's that?" The leader asks with a sneer. Huh, guess he doesn't like being made fun off.
"Well first off, didn't you find it all suspicious that I woke up so soon? Did it ever cross your mind that I was never asleep?" I ask lifting one eyebrow.
"Second you didn't bother to check me for weapons." I say with a smirk.
"Third, you let me actually see where I was, now I can tell people where I am." The leader was getting angrier by the second, and started to approach me.
"Four, You tied me up with some old rope to an old rusted pole." I smirk and show him, that my hands were now free.
The leader runs at me, not bothering to look at the ground. When he is right on top of me, my snare springs into action, and he is now hanging by one leg, high off the ground with the very rope they used to tie me up. As the other men just stare in shock.
"Five, you underestimated me." I give him a cruel smile and stand up, dusting myself off. Let's get this show on the road.
Kyoya's pov:
If the text is true, then I can't trust my own police force. Which must mean that someone on it or who was once on it, is responsible for taking Isami.
I quickly open my lap top, ignoring all the questions everyone is asking me, and pull up the profiles of everyone who is on the Black Onion Squad.
It shows that 20 of the 100 men were fired. I stop and think for a bit.
"This isn't about Isami, it's about me!" I shout in realization.
"What do you mean?" Haruhi asks looking at the screen.
I turn to her and the others and start explaining. "Back at the pool incident, I fired everyone who shot at Isami and Mori, so, in spite, some of those men want to get back at me!"
Haruhi thinks for a bit. "But why haven't they said anything? if they wanted to get back at you, wouldn't they want you to know they have Isami? We should have at least gotten a ransom by now."
"Yes your right, so what's stopping them from calling me?" I take this into consideration.
"Isami" Mori says seriously.
"Something is going on, and it's stopping them from making a ransom, and without a call we have no idea who took her." Ranka adds looking at the profile of the men.
"Perhaps we can narrow down who is responsible." Haruhi suggests "Anyone who has a job now can't be responsible, because they would have no reason to get revenge. Odds are the people who took Isami have not found a job, thus causing them to get desperate." Haruhi thinks aloud.
"Haruhi you're a genius" I smile and start sifting through the files.
"The boys and I can start calling the families and find out, if some of them have been experiencing odd behavior, or are missing." Haruhi says, and I quickly print out a sheet of numbers and they start calling.
Don't worry Isami, we'll find you.
Isami's Pov:
"Now I'm going to make this real simple for you." I say twirling my knife in my hand, as I start at the four tied up men.
Luckily for me, I know what I'm doing, and these men are tied to chairs, which are bolted to the floor, and they are tied with rope, as well as hand cuffs.
"Just tell me, who the double agents are, and no one gets hurt." I smirk and run my knife gently against the leaders cheek.
"Go fuck yourself!" He shouts and spits at me. I pull back and slap him roughly.
"Look I can do this all night, I have experience in interrogation." I smirk evilly, trying to scare them. "I know how to get information out of people, and if you won't tell me then I'll just have to put that experience to use, won't I?"
Two of the four men look at me in fear, but the leader and the silent one remain unbroken and stare at me blankly. *sigh* "Fine, guess I'm going to get my hands dirty." I say, rolling up my sleeves.
The men gulp, and I think they are starting to realize just how much danger they are in.
Kyoya's pov:
We have narrowed the number down to four men unaccounted for, and I'm going to assume that these are the me who took Isami.
I hack into the men's cell phones and trace it to an old warehouse on the outskirts of town.
"I think I know where she is!" I shout and point to my lap top.
"Well then lets go!" Hikaru shouts and we head as fast as we can to the location.
I take a picture of the men's information and send it to Isami, it's unlikely she will see it, but the info may prove helpful to her.
Isami's pov:
"Hmm" I glance at my phone and see a message from Kyoya about my captors. Thank you, Kyoya!
I grin and turn back to the leader, sitting down across from him. "So tell me, Tadashi, what are your children up to?"
"What are you talking about?" He glares at me in shock.
"Oh you know, Sumi and Naomi. I'm sure your children would love to hear how their father kidnapped a girl to get revenge. Oh nice job, Tadashi, wait to make an example for yourself." I smirk and cross my arms.
"You keep my family out of this!" He shouts, and struggles in his chair.
"Why? Is it because you know you're doing something wrong?" I lean forward and glare at him. "Is it because you know you would be a disappointment if they were to find out?"
He turns his head to the floor and starts sobbing.
"Look I told you before I don't want to hurt you, so just give me some names and this can all be over." I say calmly with a roll of the eyes.
"Just tell her!" The driver, whose name I now know is Lee, shouts in desperation.
"Yeah you might as well, we are already caught." The silent one, aka Katsu, says reluctantly.
The stupid one, aka Jun, remains silent. As he has been since I threatened to knock his teeth in when he called me a 'crazy bitch'.
Tadashi looks at me with tear-filled eyes and opens his mouth to speak.
3rd person Pov:
Isami stands in front of the man eager to hear what he has to say. When suddenly the door is slammed open and Kyoya and the others appear in the door way, ready to fight.
Isami's head snaps up and she looks at who it is. "You idiots!" Isami shouts in anger. She slams her fist into the wall and glares at the boys.
"Isami we are here to save you!" Tamaki shouts dramatically, but is quickly silenced by Isami's glare.
"Isami are you ok?" Kyoya asks taking her arm. While the others get the men out of the room.
"I'm fine, kyoya!" She yanks her arm out of his grip and he is taken aback.
"Isami why are you so angry?" Haruhi asks in worry casting looks at the slightly bloody men.
"I'm angry because you guys are here! I was in the middle of an interrogation!" Isami rubs her temple.
"What do you mean? Weren't you kidnapped?" Honeys asks, in confusion.
"Original, yes, but I quickly turned the situation around. These men were once on your task force, Kyoya." Isami says in all seriousness.
"We figured." Kyoya says sarcastically.
Isami lifts one eyebrow up at him. "Oh yeah? Did you also figure that these men have double agents that are currently on the Black onion squad?" Isami asks sharply.
Kyoya eyes widen and he pulls out his phone, wanting to call his father and have the Black Onion Squad sent into interrogation.
"Don't bother!" Isami takes his phone away. "I can figure out who the double agents are." She says in anger.
Kyoya's pov:
~Time Skip~
I should of known Isami would be fine, but I didn't expect her to be running an interrogation when we got there.
The men were quickly taken to prison and we sent the rest of the club home.
Right now Isami and I are walking to the Black Onion squad's head quarters. She hasn't said one word this whole time and it's unnerving.
"Are you alright, Isami?" I asks gently.
"For the last time, I'm FINE" She says bitterly and I can feel myself get angry.
"Why are you acting like this? We were just trying to help you." I say sharply, and she stops and glares at me.
"Kyoya, when have I ever asked for your help? I was fine, and by going to the warehouse like you did. You put yourselves in danger. I'm trained for this sort of thing, you are not." She says crossing her arms.
"That's the whole point! You never ask for help, so we have to decide for ourselves weather you need it or not! Would you put a little trust in us? We just want to help!" I shout crossing my arms as well.
"It's not for you to decide what I need, and furthermore I have dealt with these situations before. I know what I'm doing! Have more faith in me, I'm not some weak child you need to save!" She growls and heads in to the headquarters.
I shout in anger and start talking to myself. "She just doesn't get it! This isn't about her being weak!" I swear as smart as Isami is, she can be so thick at times! Would it kill her to trust us and let go of that need to be all-powerful and self-sufficient?!
Isami's Pov:
Kyoya just doesn't get it! This isn't about me trusting them! This is my way of life, and it always has been, I don't need him and the others to fight my battles, because odds are my battles would get them killed, and I'm not going to let that happen!
I slam open the door to the head quarters and all the men turn to look at me. "Hello, boys" I say with a smirk.
Kyoya's pov:
After a few minutes I calm myself and walk into the building, and what I see should come as no surprise to you.
The men are lined up in a straight row and Isami is walking down the line, looking at each man closely.
"So I'm here for one reason only, and that's to find who here is a traitor. You know who you are." Isami says in a leathly clam voice.
I stand next to her, and she ignores me. "Here's what's going to happen, I'm going to go down the line and ask you all the same question, and your job is to answer it. Easy, right?" She smiles and starts heading to the front of the line.
"What are you doing?" I whisper in her ear.
"Finding your traitors, Ootori, what else?" She says coldly.
I sigh and stand back as she asks man after man the same question. "Are you a traitor?" She asks a tall man with a long, black, beard. "No mam."
Isami turns her head to the side, and looks at the man in deep concentration, and the man sweats and turns his gaze to the ceiling.
Isami smirks and yanks him out of the row. "Here" She pushes him to his knees and cuffs him.
I walk to her, "Let's go call the police."
"I'm not finished" She says seriously. I look at her surprised. "But we got him."
"Who said there would be only one?" She looks at me with the corner of her eye, and keeps walking down the line, yanking four more out of the line and hand cuffing them. "Now we are done" She says shoving the men in the police car that just arrived.
"How did you do that?" I ask, no longer angry at her.
"I know a liar when I see one." She says simply and heads home.
Isami certainly is something else, but I guess that's why it's fun to have her around.
I sigh and run my forehead, well this was quite the eventful day, and all questions were answered except one that had been bugging me.
Who sent that text?
Isami's pov:
I sigh and lay down on the couch, as Luna hops on my stomach and purrs.
I send a quick apologize the guys for blowing up at them and settle back with my favorite show. And all seems right in the world, but why do I still have the feeling something bad is going to happen? My instincts have never been wrong before, so what else is going to happen in this little story?
It's probably nothing, right?
