DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN OURAN OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS. I ONLY OWN THE OCS AND THE STORYLINE.
Hello everyone. I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a while. I'm not going to lie, I lost interest in writing as I got a little more interested in writing stories of my own. Not to mention I had no laptop for a while too. But I have decided I can do it all if I try. I started to read other fanfictions and decided to continue. I will update as often as possible from now on. New year, New start.
My writing technique has changed but that is simply because my skills have advanced as I've been writing more. I hope you still like it. I am going to try my best to keep this interesting so please, if you have any ideas, don't hesitate to tell via either reviews or PM. I'll await your messages/reviews. Hope you still like it.
Hikaru sighed. "Don't look at me like that." He told her, rather than requested of her. She looked away from him, saying nothing as so he would be able to talk and state his reasons for entering the room. He looked at her. "As you, being you, have probably already established, I'm not going to let you go as easily as I perhaps should." Hikaru shouldn't have been thinking the way he was. His main objective should've been on how Tamaki and the child were going to feel but his primary care was himself. He continued with his speech. "And, as such, I am going to set some rules and jobs."
Haruhi piped up at that. "What is I don't want to follow your rules?" She asked, sounding both scared and a little helpless. She simply wished to know the consequences of her refusal.
Hikaru thought. He actually hadn't taken that into consideration. Why is she always one step ahead of me? He wondered, slightly annoyed at that factor. He chose his next words carefully. "The consequences for your actions will be that you will remain away from your loved ones for an extra day than I previously intended, every time you disobey them."
These words gave Haruhi a glimmer of hope. The fact that he will eventually let her out whether or not she tried to escape. However, she knew it would not be anytime soon so her hopes weren't high.
Hikaru started to relay his rules and jobs. "With regards to your jobs, you shall do the cooking and any kitchen work, including cleaning it or anything like that." To Haruhi, this didn't seem too bad. It seemed rather simplistic so she wasn't too worried about that. His demands continued. "The rules. You are not allowed to leave this cabin under any circumstances. You can not have any kind of contact with anyone outside of the cabin. You will be obligated to share a bed with me too. You will listen to anything I ask of you, whether you obey or not is a different matter but you are aware of the consequences." Haruhi lowered her head. He nodded. "That'll be all." He informed her and turned to leave.
Haruhi had to speak with him about these. "Do I not get a say?"
Hikaru sighed. "Yes, but whether or not I agree is a separate matter."
Haruhi thought, giving the circumstances, he was being rather fair with that. She cleared her thought. "The first two, I guessed. But The third one I object to. I do not wish to share a bed with you."
Hikaru looked at her. "You shall be. You can be on the other side of the bed if you want but I will be sharing the bed."
She sighed. "Then, if you touch me at all while I am sleeping I will not refrain from taking it as the end of this deal." Hikaru decided she just had to be given time and agreed to this term. Haruhi continued on. "Furthermore, I will not obey your every command, I am not a dog nor a maid."
Hikaru began to speak to her calmly. "They will not be those kinds of jobs. Simply things to do with the kitchen, your place. I will not ask anymore of you."
"Fine." The brunette agreed and the contract was sealed.
Hikaru left the room and walked back into the dining room. He pulled her phone out of his pocket and looked at it, spinning it around, wondering what to do with it.
Meanwhile, Tamaki, Kyoya, Mori, Hunny and Kaoru were still on the search. They all sat in silence as the car drove on down the roads. Tamaki was the most on edge. His thought process speed was up to 100 miles a minute, trying to think about everything. He was glad he had time on his side though. Kyoya was on his phone, trying to do something in hopes of coming up with an idea as to how to find the lost maiden and her captor. Mori was looking out the window, trying to spot anything on the mountains not too far away that seemed like a place to hide or somewhere isolated. Hunny was doing the same as his cousin, except he was more worried now. Kaoru was trying to think of a possibility of any hint Hikaru may have given him to suggest where he may have been going or where the hide out is.
As they drove down the road, Kyoya seemed to get an idea. He called someone, which answered after barely a single ring. Tamaki's gaze, which had previously ben on the floor of the car, was now of his friend. Everyone else remained looking outside at the scenery. "I want you to track the next call I make." He requested. Tamaki got his wavelength. All the ex-hosts in the car caught his drift and looked at him, glad he could do that. After a moment, he thanked the people on the other end of the line and hung up. He looked at Tamaki and then at Kaoru. He handed Kaoru the phone. "Keep him on there as long as possible." Kaoru nodded and made the call.
Hikaru was about to put it away where Haruhi wouldn't find it when it rung. The technology vibrated in his hand and he saw the called ID. He groaned and answered it. "For the last time, Kyoya. Haruhi is not being brought back by me.-" He was about to continue ranting when he heard the voice of someone he knew since birth. He didn't answer anything at first.
"Hikaru, It's me, Kaoru." Hikaru remained silent. He frowned. Kaoru continued. "Hikaru, why are you doing this?"
Finally the twin answered. "Because it's the only way Haruhi will ever truly understand."
Kaoru retaliated. "Understand what?" He demanded to know.
"How much she loves me."
Kaoru got a little angry. "Hikaru, she doesn't love you. She loves Tamaki. Always has, always will."
"You don't know that!"
"Yes, I do," He said softly. "And I also know that Tamaki loves her. He is sat in this car right now extremely worried and frantic and just wants to talk to her." Hikaru went silent, so the other twin continued. "Why don't you let them talk just once more?" He requested.
Hikaru sighed. "I guess that wont hurt," He agreed and then continued. "One second." He hung the phone by his waist and started to contemplate whether he should or shouldn't. If I do this, she could discuss methods of leaving and I could lose her for good. But she really wants to talk to him. Will one time really hurt? He thought it over and finally decided that he'll give her this chance. He started to make her way to the room.
Kaoru passed Tamaki the phone as soon as he heard him knock on her door. Tamaki heard everything from over the line.
Hikaru had knocked. "Haruhi, Tamaki is on the phone." Hikaru had never seen the door open so quick. She looked at his hand and he passed her the phone and went into the room. Hikaru remained by the door just in case.
Haruhi held the phone to her ear. "Tamaki?"
Tamaki's eyes welled with tears. "Haruhi..." Kaoru smiled. Haruhi wiped away tears. Tamaki continued. "Are you okay? Has he hurt you?"
Haruhi chuckled at his protectiveness. "No, Tamaki, I'm fine." She reassured.
Tamaki breathed a sigh of relief. He held his hand over the speaker. "She's okay." He told everyone else in the car, which made them all breath a sigh of relief.
Haruhi smiled. "It is so good to hear your voice... I'm so scared."
Tamaki got serious. "Don't worry, we are going to get you out of there, I promise."
Haruhi chuckled again. She looked up at an impatient looking Hikaru. she started to wrap it up. "Tell Yunaki I said Hi, I love him, I'll see him soon and I know he'll get better." She smiled.
Tamaki smiled. "You can tell it to him when you see him tonight."
Haruhi smiled at his optimism. "You are always so optimistic."
Tamaki smiled. "Not always but I try."
Haruhi chuckled. She glanced over at Kaoru again and turned back. "Tamaki, I'm going to have to go now."
Tamaki frowned. "Oh..." was all he said.
"But don't worry, everything will be fine, I'm sure." She smiled and kept her back to Hikaru. "I love you."
Tamaki's smile returned hearing her say those words. "I love you too." She smiled happily and once they said their goodbyes, Haruhi handed the phone back to Kaoru like an obedient dog. She knew he wouldn't let her keep it.
Tamaki has passed the phone back to Kaoru.
Hikaru held the phone to his ear. "Happy, brother?"
Kaoru did the same as his brother. "Yes, now can you see?"
Hikaru left the room, shutting the door behind him. "All I see is a girl who loves some idiot and a boy who didn't even try to keep her on the own.
Kaoru sighed. "You'll never understand, will you Hikaru?"
Hikaru ignored the question. "I'm hanging up. Goodbye, brother." And Hikaru did just that.
Kaoru looked at the phone as the beep to signal the end of the call sounded. He just stared for a moment and then passed it back to Kyoya. "Long enough?" He asked. Kyoya sighed. "We shall see." He started another call and the whole car sat in wait. The phone, once again, barely rang before it was answered. "Did you get a location?" He listened and nodded. "I understand. Well, that is better than nothing. Thank you for your help." He hung up. The tension hung in the air as everyone waited. No other sound was made in wait for Kyoya to condemn the verdict of their efforts.
Kyoya looked at everyone. "They get a link," He started. Tamaki got hopeful about this, until what was said next was said. "But the area was apparently had a bad connection and the call took all the connection up. They weren't able to pin point the exact location."
Tamaki and Kaoru looked down with a frown. "At least I managed to speak to Haruhi." He looked at Kaoru. "Thank you." Kaoru simply nodded at him with a slight smile.
Hunny spoke up. "So, have they narrowed it down at all?"
Kyoya pushed up his glasses. "Indeed. They have narrowed it down to somewhere within a 60 mile radius. It is an extremely large radius, however." Hunny nodded in understanding.
Despite it all, there was some hope. This gave Tamaki that extra push he needed to carry on. "They what are we waiting for?! Let's go and get our girl!" The whole car suddenly lifted with good vibes. Despite how long it may take them, they were willing to take all day to find Haruhi. The car was suddenly going a little faster to reach the border of the 60 mile radius so they could start looking.
After a little while, Takashi spoke up. "I was just thinking," Everyone looked at Mori instantly to hear what he had to say. "Why doesn't Kaoru call one of their parents and see if they know? Didn't they buy the place?" The whole car fell silent. That seemed like a point Haruhi would point out in the middle of the crisis. The most obvious thing and yet no one in the car had thought of it until now. Everyone felt like absolute idiots.
"Of course!" Kaoru exclaimed as he pulled out his phone. Calling his mother first, he waited for it to answer. One ring, two rings, three rings, four rings.
"Hello. You have reached my voice mail! I am either working or busy! Boys, if it is one of you, just message me. I'll get back to you as soon as I can! Please leave a message!" before the beep sounded Kaoru had ended the call.
He instantly reverted to his father's phone. Once, twice... The rings continued for a while. It reached the final ring and someone spoke. "Hello, this is Mr Hitachiin speaking." Kaoru was glad to have a real person answer the phone. "Dad! Hi, how are things?" He didn't even give him time to finish what he was saying before getting to the point. "Anyway, I'll cut to the chase, remember those hideaways you bought for me and Hikaru?"
The father laughed. "Now Kaoru, if you are trying to scare your brother I'm not going to tell you-"
Kyoya, who had been listening the entire time, took the phone from Kaoru's hand and spoke. "Mr Hitachiin, how nice to speak to you. I'm sorry to disturb you but we to require the address of Hikaru's hideaway. You see, he has taken something we desperately need and we must get it back." The phone went silent, as did the car as everyone was astonished to how Kyoya had just handled the situation.
Finally, Mr. Hitachiin answered. "I see, well, I'll message the address to Kaoru's phone as soon as possible."
Kyoya smiled his usual triumphant smile. "Thank you Mr Hitachiin. Once again, it was nice to speak to you." Kyoya passed the phone back over to Kaoru.
"Um..." Kaoru snapped out of it. "Okay, well, I'll speak to you soon dad."
Mr Hitachiin sighed. "Yeah, speak soon, son." The call ended. Kaoru knew he wouldn't speak to his dad anytime soon but he was fine with it.
Kaoru got a message through to his phone and read it. He smiled and quickly told the driver. The driver entered it into the GPS and Kaoru sat back down. "Haruhi, we are coming." The boys all nodded in agreement, smiling agreeing with him.
