Chapter 25.
Hikaru finally raised the weapon and pointed it toward Satsui. Haruhi gasped and widen her eyes, but Satsui just made a crooked smirk and shook his head in disappointment.
"We both know you won't shoot," Satsui said and raised an eyebrow, "because of two reasons. One – I'm standing right next to your beloved, and I don't think you would dare kill her, am I right?" Satsui said and pressed Haruhi tighter into his body, with made Hikaru ground his teeth in disgust, "and second," Satsui continued, "You aren't a killer, kid. I see right trough you – you're standing there and convincing yourself that it's the right thing to do, right?"
"Shut up," Hikaru said between clenched teeth.
" – But even I, ´The big assassin leader´" He said and enjoyed Hikaru's obvious pain, "knows deep inside that it's wrong – but I have gotten use to it" He added no matter.
Hikaru had to take a deep breath. He wouldn't let Satsui see any weakness – he had to be strong, no matter what. He couldn't shake. He mustn't.
"You know," The orange-haired boy said quietly and took Satsuis gaze. His eyes were cold and serious, "You would be surprised, what a man in love will do"
That took Satsui of guard. He stared at Hikaru for a second – trying to figure him out, but then he quickly remade his smirk and started laughing. First quietly and then higher and higher – it became almost insane.
"You really got me there," He said between a laugh, "That was adorable, really"
Haruhi made a groan in disgust and tried to struggle again, but he didn't even notice. She could fell him shake from laugher.
Hikaru was about to crack. If only Kaoru had been here. Why hadn't he made him follow, he couldn't do this alone. He needed him.
He bit his lip, this time in frustration. He couldn't stop his hands from shaking, and he had to lower the gun. The defeat flowered over him, and he almost wanted to scream. Satsui shook his head again.
"You know," He said and finally became serious, "You shouldn't let your guard down"
Hikaru felt the wind hit his face and suddenly Satsui and Haruhi was gone. He opened his eyes in shock. He turned his head to both sides and raised his gun again and pointed it everywhere.
"Hikaru!" He heard Haruhi scream from behind, but it was too late – Satsui kicked him so hard that he flew backwards and slammed against the stonewall. All air was punched out of his lungs.
He hugged his stomach in pain, but only seconds later Satsui held one hand around his neck and held him up against the wall, his feet inches from the floor. He held Haruhi in the other hand. Her brown eyes were huge in fear. She kept struggling, and tried to kick Satsui, but nothing worked. She made a gasp in exhaustion and looked at Hikaru.
He stared right at her, his eyes filled with pain and worry. She felt how her own eyes filled up with tears.
"Please," She began. Satsui tighten his hold and Hikaru cried out in pain and grabbed around Satsuis arm for support. Haruhi felt her tears run over.
Hikaru tried to say something, but the words were stuck in his throat. He tried to hold her gaze, but had to close his eyes by the pain.
"Hikaru!" Haruhi chocked out, she was out of breath from her struggle, "Please Satsui, I'll do anything"
"Please shut up," Satsui said annoyed and threw her backwards. She landed on the floor, - headfirst and lost consciousness.
"Haru –" Hikaru tried, but he was beginning to see black spots before his eyes. Satsui pressed his tomb harder against his bared throat. To be chocked is unbelievable painfully; there was no way to describe it perfectly. His eyes rolled up in the back of his head and he started to gasp out and tried to pull Satsuis iron-grab looser, but it was impossible.
His vision became darker and darker. His hands suddenly lost all strength and just fell deadly down his sides. He stopped struggling and all he could do was to gasp and suffocate.
"Ka –o – ru" He mumbled before his gaze became all black. His mind send little glint of light trough his mind. He gasped and tried to close his eyes, but they were already closed and the light paralyzed him.
Suddenly the pressure against his throat disappeared.
"Hikaru," A voice echoed in his mind, "Hikaru – you – moron – wake – up" The voice said, almost in slow motion. He clenched his eyes tighter and opened them.
"Breathe!" The voice demanded.
He did. His gasp for air echoed in the room. He chocked a few timed and held around his stomach. Breathing heavily. He was still in the dark room. A boy stood bowed over him.
"Satsui?" Hikaru said. Horror painted in his face.
"I'll take that as an insult," Takao said annoyed and rose to his feet. Hikaru blinked, and looked around.
Takao stood in front of him, in his hand was a bloody knife and in the other end of the room, was his twin. His arm dripping with blood. Now he at least could tell them apart. His gaze went farther and saw Haruhi lay a little away. Unconscious.
He wanted to help her so bad, but he was too weak and couldn't move.
"Takao," Hikaru breathed out, "what happened?"
"Let's chat later," He mumbled stressed.
Satsui had a large smile painted on his face, it made him look even more insane.
"Long time, no see bro," He said and made an insanely laugh, "Finally I see you face-to-face, it's been six years, right? I have looked forward to see you again"
"Me too," Takao said and his eyes shined with bloodlust, "To see you dead"
"Oh … Takao – my stupid little brother. Only by minutes, but still the younger" Satsui smirked, "you want to be the hero and save the day, right?"
"No," Takao said and took a step forward, "The hero would find another way – A hero would get you to jail or make you pay back to society, but I just want to kill you"
Satsui laughed again and straitened up, "Then give me your best shot, little brother"
Takao clenched his teeth and ran forward.
"You can't be serious," Satsui said bored and avoided Takaos first punch with ease, "Come on Takao, you can do better then that. You have my blood, don't you?"
Takao felt more anger build up and his punches landed faster, but Satsui just ducked them all – laughing.
"I see an opening" Satsui said amused and made a forceful kick toward Takaos stomach, but Takao hurried to grab his leg and threw his brother against the nearest wall with all his strength. Satsui made a smirk and disappeared in the crash of rocks and dust.
Takao jumped a couple of feet back and stared at the smoke from the wall. He waited for it to disappear. He searched for a silhouette, but didn't spot anything.
Aya ran down the hall. Takao and her had escaped the guards that had grabbed them, but they had also got separated. She had to find his soon – mostly for her own sake.
"Aya?" A voice yelled behind her.
She turned on the heel and looked back. She opened her mouth in shock. The host club came waving toward her, with big smiles on their faces and behind them marched a whole army of policemen.
"Well, that's something you don't see everyday," She said smiling and waved back at them. They came closer – Kaoru leaded them.
"Hey Kao," She said and smiled.
"Hey Aya," Kaoru said and tried to ignore the nickname. She was about to explain, but before she knew it Kaoru had pulled her into a big hug. It surprised everyone. Especially Kaoru.
He held her for another second, then he realized what he was doing and blushed. Aya made an amused smile and he hurried to let go.
"I'm happy to see you too Kaoru," She said with a smile. A snort sounded from behind Kaoru. Aya tilted her head and looked at a pissed off, blonde girl.
"Who's that," Aya asked.
"A friend," Kaoru answered shortly. Zaiaku grabbed his arm to make sure Aya knew her place. She wasn't given Kaoru up that easy. Aya made a shy smile and raised a greeting hand.
"You can't have him!" Zaiaku said angrily and gave her a deadly look. Kaoru signed and made a tired smile.
"I have a boyfriend," Aya said and gave her a reassuring smile. It helped a little.
"Were is he, anyway?" Tamaki asked.
"And where's Hikaru?" Kaoru cried out, almost panicking.
"We got separated – but I know were they are," Aya said with a smile, "Let's go"
The smoke finally cleared out, but Satsui was no were to be found. Takao took a step toward the ruins from the wall. His eyes searching, and he never let his guard down. He heard a quiet laugher from above, and turned around to stop a deadly blow, from his brother.
"Not bad," Satsui said and gave him a smirk. Takao just gave him an intense stare and jumped toward him again. He tried to land another punch. His hit was actually about to land on the target, but in a quick swing Satsui grabbed his twins fist and held it tight.
"Damn it," Takao exclaimed. Satsui slammed him to the floor and hurried to kick him harshly in the stomach – just to make sure.
Takao breathed a gasp out, but hurried to roll to the side – and just in time. Satsuis feet slammed in the ground were Takao had just been. The floor broke and resulted the stones to fly around them.
"You're fast little brother," Satsui said and smiled, "I haven't had this much fun in a while"
"The fun is over," Takao said and grabbed the knife tightly. He made a little jump to his feet and stormed toward Satsui again.
In the meantime; Hikaru had managed to crawl toward Haruhi. He gently shook her and held her in his arms.
"Haruhi," He whispered, still breathless, "Please wake up"
Her expression turned twisted and after a couple of seconds she opened her eyes a bit. Her expression now flustered, but then she remembered again.
"Hikaru," She said panicking and looked around, but then her eyes found his face and she sighed in relief, "You're okay," She whispered.
"Yes, I'm okay – Takao saved me," He explained and hugged her gently, "But more importantly, are you okay?"
Haruhi made a small smile and reached her hand up to touch Hikarus face. He made a little jump in surprise when her fingertips touched his cheek. Then he laid his own hand over hers, forced it to stay.
"Haruhi," He whispered, "I know it's not the best time, but… I love you"
Yes, he finally said it. O_^
Hope you liked and please review. :D
