Hikaru gritted his teeth. "Tamaki doesn't know everything! I don't understand what you see in him!" Haruhi was about to answer but she was interrupted by Hikaru sighing. "Haruhi. Go back to your room. Get some rest. We'll talk later." He reassured her. Maybe then she'll regain her senses. He thought to himself. Haruhi was stunned by the change in mood of her friend. She gulped. I need to listen to him. Maybe I can find a way out in my room. He could do anything right now. She thought to herself. "S-sure." She agreed and slowly made her way to her room. She got into her room and shut the door behind herself. Looking around, Haruhi stared down at her hands. Not only could I not get the knife, but I don't even have my ring on. Haruhi felt where it was meant to be on her finger, where it had rest on her finger so gently for weeks. She sighed. I need to get out of here.
Hikaru looked around and then looked down at the knife Haruhi had dropped. It was on the floor, laying there without motion. Hikaru picked it up, placing it on the table. He was tempted to throw it at the wall but decided against it. He continued to eat his crisps. I can't just keep her in the room. She is going to be living with me for a while now. I wonder how long it will be until I'm found? He thought to himself as he ate. He got lost in thought. Maybe we can share that bed tonight. That would be nice. I doubt she'll allow it but where else am I going to sleep? He nodded to himself. Yep. It is settled. He told himself, firmly.
Kaoru looked out the window and watched everything wiz by in the car. He kept his eye out for anything familiar. He was going to find Haruhi, even if it took days. Kyoya put a hand on Tamaki's shoulder. This snapped him out of his trace-like state, causing him to snap his head towards Kyoya. Kyoya had a look in his eye that Tamaki had never seen before. It was sincere look of reassurance. The next thing that Kyoya said surprised him even more. Not so much the words, but the tone of voice. It sounded.. gentle and calming. Was this even Kyoya? "Tamaki, we'll find Haruhi. You don't have to worry. We will do whatever it takes." Tamaki was quick to process this side of Kyoya and then he processed what he had said. After a moment or so he nodded.
Kaoru's eyes opened wide and he shouted at the top of his voice. "Turn Left!" The driver was quick to obey Kaoru's command and got back on track. Everyone in the car shot their heads in Kaoru's direction and there they stayed, in silence, for a few minutes. Kyoya was the first to break the silence. "Why are we going this way?" He had asked the question that everyone wanted to ask but hadn't been able to as of yet due to the fact that the sudden change of course had stunned them. Kaoru moved his gaze from out the window to Kyoya. "This mountain is a place I think he could be." Kyoya pulled out his phone. "I'll have all my men search this area." Kaoru nodded. Kyoya did just that and put his phone away.
Tamaki looked at Kaoru, his expression showing some slight hope. "Thank you.." He said quietly. Kaoru had heard him. "You're very welcome." He replied with a smile. "Haruhi doesn't deserve what is happening to her." Tamaki looked down at his hands. "Kaoru, you know Hikaru better than anyone." Kaoru nodded. "I like to think so." Tamaki looked up at him with a serious expression. "What do you think will happen between them?" He asked. Kaoru thought for a moment and then sighed.
"Hikaru is a firm believer that women should be submissive to men. Despite how big a role the women in our family play." He started off. "I think he will make most of the decisions and take how she feels into account. Maybe he will but it wont change his mind unless she does something drastic." This made Tamaki sit up. "Like what?" He pushed on for more information. Kaoru thought for a bit longer. "Crying in front of him might do it. Offering something like a cooked meal in return for something of equal measure. Things like that." He explained. One thought came to mind. He gritted his teeth at the thought. "Haruhi is stronger than that..." Tamaki claimed. "She would never do such a thing." Kaoru nodded in agreement.
Hunny had been looking out the window this entire time. He had been taking in the views while searching for somewhere they could be staying. Mori had been doing the same. Mori looked around and saw something that made him speak up. "They didn't come up here." Everyone's head in the car turns to the male. Hunny blinked and looked at his cousin. "What makes you say that, Takashi?" He asked. Mori pointed to the ground outside the window. "There are no tire marks." He pointed out. Everyone looked outside the window. They saw what he meant. There was only untouched dirt and grass. There were no signs that anyone had been up the mountain at all.
Suddenly, Kyoya's phone went off. He was quick to answer it. "Yes?" Kyoya listen to the man on the other end of the phone line. "Understood. Retreat back to the ground search for now. Thank you." He hung up and put the phone down. Tamaki looked at his best friend with needing eyes. Kyoya looked at his friend before retelling the information he was just told. "My men have search every inch of this mountain. There is both no sign of any housing or any sign that anyone has been up here." Kaoru sighed. "I get it." The driver made a U turn at the sound of this information and head back down the mountain. Tamaki gritted his teeth. "Damnit!" He banged his fist against the side of the limo. His friends just sat there in silence as they waited for the car to get to the ground again.
Haruhi had retreated to her bedroom. She had checked everything from the windows to the walls and the floorboards. Even behind things like a wardrobe and dressing table. There was no means of escape. No! This can't be happening! I'm trapped! She fell to her bed and held back tears. She didn't know how long she was going to be here and she didn't know what Tamaki or Yunaki were thinking. She couldn't let them down but she couldn't get out. I need to get to my phone! There is no other way.. But I can't right now.. She looked at her gloves that Tamaki had given her. She smiled as she remembered finding them.
Hikaru looked over to the knife that was on the table. He picked it up and put it in the drawer. He wasn't being mean. She was going to do the cooking so when she found it she could keep it. Hikaru walked over to the door of the room Haruhi was currently in. He had finished his crisps. He knocked gently on the door. "Haruhi, may I come in?" Haruhi heard Hikaru and was tempted to say 'no' but she wasn't about to o something so risky. "Sure." Was her only answer as she hid the gloves in her pocket. Hikaru slowly opened the door and met Haruhi with a warm smile. However, she wasn't smiling. She just wanted to leave and she looked scared.
