Chapter eight:

"As I'm sure you're all aware a werewolf had come into the newer part of our territory where Kaoru here took care of it." The leader gestures to Kaoru causing the others to glance to the ginger before turning back to the leader. "However things sadly don't end there. It turns out the wolf had a pack and they've been marking the edges of our territory. Rubbing themselves on trees, objects and buildings. We've been marking the edges back to our scent. However I believe that this is only the first step in whatever plan they have. They are out for revenge and things can only get worse from here. This is a declaration of WAR!"

Some of the members turn to each other muttering in concern before going quiet to pay attention to the leader.

"With marking our territory again is our acceptance of this war they are probably going to wage on us. So I want everyone alert and ready to fight at any moment. We will be increasing patrols and I don't care what you say everyone will be going on them. Kaoru you will be added to the patrols instead of keeping an eye out for anything. You are well aware of where our territory is. There will be at least one other patrolling as well as back up. Now I have made a schedule for when each one of you will be on patrol. Stick to the schedule and plan anything else around them. If any part smells of wolf alert me and remark the area. We will be discussing the schedule for a bit tonight. We will then need to cover what we are to do if the pack makes any more movements besides trying to mark our territory. Let us begin."

Elsewhere….

Hikaru has checked all over the house including the garden area. He hasn't found any sign of Kaoru though. He has tried calling Kaorus phone but to no avail. He is beyond worried now though as he is sitting on the bed back in the bedroom he is trying to rationalize. "Come on. Kaoru's got this. He's been doing this all in secret for… Who knows how long… Did he even tell me how long? … Ugh!" He hunches over bringing his head into his hands as he grips his hair. His eyes are closed tightly at the frustration and stress of what's happening. "I can't even think straight!" He throws his head back straightening his arms as he does so only stopping when he can't stretch his arms anymore. He lets himself fall back flopping onto his back. He releases his head and hair to swing his arms straight outwards to the sides as he falls backwards. He lays there on the bed with his eyes shut a little looser than before only for him to relax them. He opens them only about a second or two after that. He decides that he will wait until morning time to see if Kaoru returns before he worries even more.

… The next morning…

Hikaru had stayed up all night waiting for his brother though he never returned. He quickly throws on an outfit then dashes off planning to look around the entire city if he has to. He needs to figure out where Kaoru could have disappeared to. He fears that something in the night might have hurt his brother or worse. He gets the limo driver to town. He thanks him once they park in a good spot. He gets out hurrying to begin his search before the door could even be opened by the driver. He lets his search for his brother begin. He approaches a woman who seems to be just heading home from wherever she works. "Excuse me."

The woman pauses and turns to look to Hikaru. "Yes? How may I help you?" She inquires curiously also wanting to get this done with so she can go home.

"You haven't seen someone who looks like me but his bangs on the other side have you?" Hikaru inquires and gets a shake of the head in response.

"Nope. Sorry."

"Thanks anyways." Hikaru heads off to continue his search.

The woman shrugs it off and heads off heading to get to her own house. She turns the corner into an alley way passing by a dark corner without paying it any mind. She continues on her way through the alleyway not even noticing the pair of glowing eyes appearing in the dark corner.

A figure moves out heading towards the woman only to dash forward giving the woman only time to pause before the woman is pounced on. The figure sinks his fangs into her neck cutting off a scream as blood rushes into his mouth. He drinks it all letting the woman collapse on the floor. He only pulls away once done. He sits up sitting in a straddling way on the womans back. "Damn it. Why did me and Kaoru have to have the night patrol. I had to hunt in the damn daylight." He grumbles to himself wiping away a drop of blood with the sleeve of his long sleeved black shirt. He gets up and stabs the area that he had bit to make it look like murder. He rushes off away from the scene after that. "No time to properly clean anything up either. God damn it."

Back with Hikaru, he is still going around hoping to get any information on where his brother could have gone to… He is sad and disappointed that so far his efforts have been to no avail. He pauses hearing a distant howl though he doesn't remember there ever being wolves anywhere nearby.

The host club have been waiting for the twins and Tamaki has tried calling the twins yet no answer. They are starting to get worried when they all spin around as one of the doors to the club room opens.

Kaoru walks into the room just about to start apologizing about being late. He is running through excuses in his head as long as they don't know the truth of what actually happened. He pauses however noticing confused looks coming from the others. "What?" He questions to them tilting his head in confusion.

"Where is Hiakru?" Haruhi is the first of the group to speak up asking the question.

Kaoru blinks in shock as he raises his head. "You mean he's not here?" He is responded by the shaking heads of the club. "I'll find him." He dashes away out of the room with that leaving the club members to glance to each other in worry.

The club wondering what in the world is going on.
