DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM
Kaoru sat in the waiting room of the hospital looking at his watch getting sincerely impatient. It had been an hour since Hikaru had promised to meet him to do their procedure and he still hadn't shown up.
'Where is he already?!' he thought getting irritated. 'I know he didn't really want to do this but still to just bail out of me and not even so much as call to say he changed his mind?!'
"Mr. Hitachiin, are you ready?" asked a nurse walking up to him. It had to been like the fourth of fifth time she had asked him.
"No I'm sorry," said Kaoru, "I don't know if I'm even going to do it again today. I'll call Kyoya about re-scheduling after I've committed murder." He huffed out of the waiting room. He pulled out his cell phone and tried calling his brother again. It had to be the 8th time. And like the other times before it went straight to voice mail.
"Hikaru, where are you?! Did you change your mind or something? It's fine if you did but the least you could do is call to let me know!" he said. He then went and called up his brother's office again.
"Hello Kaoru," said Lei answering the phone, "I take it your brother still hasn't shown up?"
"No," muttered Kaoru, "And now I'm getting mad. If he calls or comes back to the office tell him I'm no longer at the hospital and are out looking for him and would appreciate it if he would call me."
"Yes sir," said Lei.
"Are you sure he said he was going to the hospital to meet up with me?" Kaoru asked.
"Yes sir he did," said Lei.
"Did anything happen to make him suddenly feel the need to go ahead with the procedure?" asked Kaoru.
"No, not that I can think of," said Lei, "The worst that happen was him getting a phone call from someone he doesn't really like but I doubt that pertained to the vasectomy."
"Who was the call from?" asked Kaoru.
"Mr. Luke Walker," said Lei not attempting at all to hide her bitterness over the man.
"Walker?" said Kaoru, "Oh let me guess he's still trying to get his company back?"
"I would assume so and if I'm not mistaken he may have made a threat towards your family," said Lei.
"A threat to the family?" said Kaoru starting to panic. What if that's why Hikaru hadn't shown up? Could he had decided to go home and make sure Haruhi and the children were okay? What if something had happen to all of them?!
"Lei I'm going home! If you hear from Hikaru tell him that's where I'm at!"
"Kaoru is everything alright?" asked Lei.
"I'll let you know after I talk to Haruhi," said Kaoru, "Driver change directions and head home fast!"
"Yes sir," said the driver doing exactly as he was instructed. Kaoru immediately started to dial up the house phone.
"Hello?" said a maid cheerfully.
"Hi it's me Kaoru, where's Haruhi?"
"Mistress Haruhi is in the infants' rooms at the moment," said the maid.
"Is she alright? Are the babies alright?" Kaoru asked in a panic.
"Yes Master," said the maid.
"What about Hisano and Mitsu? Are they alright?" Kaoru asked hastily.
"I should think so seeing as they just ran past me doing something crazy," said the maid.
"Good," said Kaoru breathing a sigh of relief, "What about my brother? Is he there at all?"
"Uh no sir," said the maid, "Aren't the two of you going through with your procedure right about now?"
"Well yes but my brother didn't show up," said Kaoru, "He didn't by chance call at all, did he?"
"No sir not that I know of," said the maid.
"Hmm," said Kaoru, "Okay I'll be home soon."
'Maybe I overreacted to whole threat thing,' he thought, 'but then well the hell is he?'
When he got to the house he immediately headed upstairs to the new nursery to check on Haruhi and the babies.
"Haruhi?" he said running into the room. Haruhi looked up from the crib where she was about to lay a baby down into.
"Kaoru?" she said surprised, "What are you doing here? Are you done already? I didn't think it would get done that quickly let alone be able to stand like that."
"I didn't go through with it," said Kaoru.
"You didn't why?" asked Haruhi after fully laying the baby in her crib.
"Hikaru never showed up," said Kaoru.
"He didn't?" asked Haruhi, "Well where is he then?"
"That's what I'm trying to figure out," said Kaoru, "I've tried calling his phone several times and he never answered. Plus I also called his office and Lei kept saying he left when he was suppose to meet up with me. He hasn't called here has he?"
"No not that I know of," said Haruhi.
"Did anyone call the house at all?" asked Kaoru.
"A few reporters wanting to get a story about the new babies and your mother wanting to know if you went through with the operation but that was it that I know of," said Haruhi.
"No weird guys at all?" asked Kaoru.
"Do some of those reporters count?" asked Haruhi slightly annoyed thinking about some of the men who had called.
"I don't know," said Kaoru, "It depends on who they were."
"Well you can check the call log if you want," said Haruhi. Kaoru nodded and headed down towards the main house phone. He took the log and walked off to find Kai.
"Can I help you sir?" Kai asked when he found.
"Could you do me a favor and cross-check these names to see if they're really calling for these magazines they're claiming to be from? If you need help call up Kyoya," said Kaoru handing her the log sheets.
"Of course sir, may I ask why?" asked Kai.
"I want to make sure no one creepy or scary is trying to get near my family," said Kaoru.
"Of course sir," said Kai.
"I'm going to try and call up Hikaru again," said Kaoru pulling out his own phone.
More hours past and Kaoru still couldn't get a hold of his brother not did his brother make any attempt to call him or anyone else around him.
"Kaoru?" Haruhi asked walking into the room finally, "Have you had any luck at all?"
"No not yet," said Kaoru.
"I'm starting to get a little bit worried," said Haruhi, "I mean I can understand if he got cold feet and maybe took off in fear. But I would think he would have called or come home at this point. I don't think he'd want to stay away too long from the babies."
"Yeah he wouldn't," said Kaoru, "No matter how scared he'd be about facing us assuming he did bail out because he was nervous."
"I don't know," said Kaoru scratching his chin.
"Sir?" said Kai walking into the room with the call log, "I've checked and doubled checked all these names and they're all legit. I even did like you suggest and called Mr. Ohtori and all of his research said they were who they were claiming to be."
"Kaoru is something going on?" Haruhi asked, "First you call asking if I and the children are okay and then you go and do all this research on the reporters? Do you think something bad happened to Hikaru?!"
"I don't know," Kaoru admitted, "He got a phone call from someone from our past that we haven't exactly had a good reputation with."
"Who?" asked Haruhi.
"He's like named after a Star Wars character, Luke Walker I think?" said Kaoru.
"You mean that creepy American guy who tried to drug and rape me?" Haruhi asked shuddering at the thought, "Why is he calling Hikaru?"
"He wants his company back, but Hikaru keeps denying it to him," said Kaoru, "Apparently today when he called he made a threat against our family."
"What?" said Haruhi jumping up, "Where's Hisano and Mitsu?"
"They're fine," Kai assured her, "I saw them ran past me when I was walking back here.
"Alright," said Haruhi sitting back down on the couch.
Just then Kaoru's phone went off.
"Is it Hikaru?" asked Haruhi.
"No it's Kyoya," said Kaoru, "Hello?"
"Kaoru," said Kyoya, "I was calling to tell you that after Kai called about the reporters and how Hikaru didn't show up for his appointment. So I sent out a few agents to try and find him."
"Any luck?" Kaoru asked.
"I'm afraid not," said Kyoya, "In fact I have some scary news to tell you. They found your brother's car abandoned with the driver in it knock unconscious and no sign of Hikaru."
Kaoru nearly dropped his phone.
"Oh god, oh god!" he muttered over and over again.
"Kaoru?" said Haruhi jumping up and grabbing the phone, "Hello Kyoya?"
"Haruhi I'm afraid I have bad news. They found Hikaru's car abandoned with his driver knocked unconscious and Hikaru missing," said Kyoya solemnly.
"Oh my god!" said Haruhi, "How is the driver? Where is he?"
"He's being taken to the hospital," said Kyoya, "Once he wakes we'll try asking him if he remembers anything."
"I want to be there too!" said Haruhi.
"Of course," said Kyoya.
"Hang on Haruhi I'll go with you," said Kaoru, "Kai keep the house on lock down no matter what. Keep the kids inside and only let our closest friends or parents in."
"Of course," said Kai as Kaoru and Haruhi hurried off.
When the two arrived at the hospital they found Kyoya standing outside the room with the driver along with one of his officers.
"Has he woken up yet?" asked Haruhi.
"I'm afraid not," said Kyoya.
"Did you find anything in the car at all?" asked Kaoru.
"I have my men looking through with a fine tooth comb right now," said Kyoya. Just then the door opened and a doctor's head popped out.
"He's awake if you want to talk to him." she said.
"Thank you," said Kyoya. The four walked in where the poor man laid with his head all wrapped up.
"Mr. Hitachiin, Ms. Fujioka!" he said weakly.
"Are you okay?" Haruhi asked.
"I was knocked on the head pretty badly," muttered the driver.
"Do you remembered happened?" asked Kyoya.
"Yeah, yeah I think I have a pretty good memory of what happened. We were driving to the hospital when we were hit behind from another car, repeatedly. I tired to speed up only for another car pull in front me keeping me from being able to speed up too much. I tried to get around him but then two cars pulled up along side me kind of blocking me in. It was crazy! Eventually I was forced to turn down a side street and stop. I got out of the car with baton, ready to try on anyone who was threatening us but there were like five or six men who jumped me all at once. The next thing I remember was waking up here! Is Master Hikaru alright?!"
"We were hoping you could tell us that!" said Haruhi.
"So you don't know what happened to him?!" asked Kaoru.
"No I'm so sorry!" said the poor driver.
"Stay calm now," said Kyoya, "You've been beaten up pretty badly. Maybe if you rest up you can remember more."
"But I can't that was it!" insisted the driver.
"Well you did suffer from head trauma," said Kyoya, "Maybe there is something you're missing at the moment. Like I said rest up. We'll worry about the rest for now."
"Kyoya what do you think that was all about?!" Haruhi asked as she Kyoya, Kaoru and the officer walked out of the room.
"It actually sounds like a well coordinated attack. Someone was truly trying to get their hands on Hikaru. Don't worry we'll find him," said Kyoya.
Haruhi turned and buried her face into Kaoru's chest. Kaoru held her close.
"Hikaru," they both said together, "Where are you?!"
