Chapter fourteen:

Razzy arrives back at the barn where the prisoner is being held. He steps inside and walks towards the prisoner. He spots Asahi deliver a punch to the mans stomach. He walks next to his member who pauses to glance to him. He raises a hand to indicate to stop for a little bit.

Asahi backs himself away from the man who is as hunched over as he can be with the way that he is tied up.

Razzy lowers his hand to his side and kicks the mans shin.

The man looks up with a slight glare at Razzy though he is starting to look a bit beaten down.

"We can make the pain end." Razzy tells the man then he crouches down to be more on the mans level. He places his hands on his bent knees as the prisoner and leader of the group holding the man prisoner have their eyes meet with one another. "If you would just give us the answers that we want. And you can make this end." He grabs the mans throat tight enough to send a warning but no where near tight enough to choke him. "Why torture yourself for longer than you need to?" He questions the man as he keeps their eyes locked together.

The man looks like he is about to protest only for him to pause and the last bit of resistance seems to fade from his gaze. He now looks helpless and a little scared realizing that Razzy really will keep him in pain, even adding more, until he spills the beans. He is already hurting so bad and to think that this could go on for hours longer isn't a pleasant thought. He has lost all of his will to fight knowing that he'd be tortured for months if that is what it takes. "Okay." His head drops down in defeat and his eyes close. "You win."

Razzy goes quiet to allow the man to speak of what it is that he seeks to gain the knowledge of.

"My name is Kyoto and I was hired to kill the team member. It was a man who I found out is friends with Ide. Though not a member of the gang Ide is a part of. That isn't the end of it though." The man begins explaining as Razzy continues to listen to what it is that he has to say. "During a meeting someone else actually overheard the discussion. A woman who pitched in on the money to have him shot and killed. A woman who didn't give her name. However she said that she used to work for his family. Until she was able to steal a bunch of money from them."

Razzy raises an eyebrow at this. "That is interesting."

Kyoto nods his head. "Yeah. She said that she was interested in joining this. She said that she may have acted nice to get what she wanted. Though she was angry with the game him and his brother played on her when they were just little kids. So it'd make her happy to see his brother suffer from losing the target. She was forced to pretend for longer than she was hoping to because of them." He goes silent after finishing that.

Razzy taps his chin in thought at hearing this. "Okay. So we have a woman and a friend of Ide's." He frowns after thinking it over a little longer. He lowers his hand and gets up to his feet. "You did well." He informs the man named Kyoto then he glances to Asahi. He nods his head then moves away.

Asahi pulls out a gun aiming it at the defeated looking Kyoto's head and as Razzy exits out of the barn four shots can be heard.

Razzy pulls out his cellphone to call upon one of his members as he walks towards the car that he took to get here. "Lorine." He speaks as soon as an answer comes from the other side. "I have a mission for you. Two people that you need to track down for me." He pauses to listen to her response then smiles as he opens the driver side door of the car. "Great. You are looking for one of Ide's friends who isn't a part of his gang. Also the other one happens to be a former worker of Kaoru's family who stole from them when they were kids. A woman." He listens again then finds a smile appear on his face. "Great. The sooner the better. I know I can count on you." With that he ends the call with Lorine and drives off as he had gotten into the car while saying the last bit of the call.

It has been so long and there are no reports of Kaoru being found or any sign of him.

Hikaru is starting to fear the worst for his brother. He wonders if perhaps Kaoru had gotten kidnapped on his way back from this friends place. He suddenly stops in his walking as something occurs to him. How is he sure that it really was Kaoru he had last spoken to? He could have been talking to someone who snatched his slightly younger twin brother from the street during a walk.

"Hikaru?" Haruhi asks and her voice causes Hikaru to glance up a little surprised by the sudden interruption of his thoughts; Though he did find his own thoughts to be disturbing. She looks worried for her friend. "Are you okay? Well as okay as you can be in this situation?" She inquires and Hikaru looks away from her with a frown.

"What if the last person that I talked to wasn't Kaoru at all? What if it was actually whoever took him?" Hikaru inquires to his friend and clenches his teeth for a moment before he continues. "I don't even know if he actually has any friends outside of the host club. We've been kind of drifting apart a little. What if I could have stopped this if I had realized that something was wrong early? What if he's already dead somewhere or trapped in some sort of hell hole?" His rambling stops as Haruhi places a hand on his shoulder getting his attention to her.

Haruhi offers a soft comforting smile. "Hikaru calm down. I'm sure that Kyouya may have already thought of that. We'll keep up the search until we find him. Okay?" She sees Hikaru nod softly to this. "Come. Let us keep looking."

"Okay." Hikaru agrees so the two of them continue off on their way.

During all this Kaoru is laying in the bed as he tries to pull through what had happened to him.
