Chapter fifteen:

The leader places a map down upon the table. "Okay. So these wolves will now be expecting an attack upon their base." He explains glancing around at all of those gathered there with them. "And we are going to give it to them."

"But won't we be playing right into their hands?" Another member questions in uncertainty.

"We will let them think that. But we will have a sneak attack planned." The leader smirks seemingly rather pleased with himself in how he had come up with the idea.

"Another question." One of the more shy members speak up and get a 'Go ahead' nod from the leader. "Do we even know where their main base is? Let alone if that is where they are holding the prisoner that we are seeking?"

"No doubt they'll have left behind bread crumbs so to speak for us to follow." The leader explains. "We will follow them. Make sure the prisoner is there then make our sneak attack. We will split up into groups." He glances around and his eyes stop upon Kaoru. "Kaoru."

Kaoru raises his head in higher attention than before.

"I believe that you are the main target. We will use that to our advantage. You will be going with Jay to find the prisoner. Jay will wear some of your clothes and hide that it isn't actually you. You get the prisoner as I doubt he knows of the truth."

Kaoru gives a soft nod to this keeping himself from tensing up.

"Good. Then all he will know is that we are just some friends that agreed to help you get him back." The leader then turns to the other members. "We will be attacking from the opposite side that Jay and Kaoru will be going in from. Keep their attention away from that." He orders and gets nods of confirmation that they understand. "This can be a very delicate operation. So be careful out there."

The group gives sounds of agreement that also sound like they're ready to do this.

Elsewhere…

Hikaru groans as he blinks his eyes open. "Huh…? Where… Where am I…?" He glances around finding what appears to be some old storage warehouse around him. He notes that it looks to be a big mostly empty room with some things placed here and there. He swears someone could be hiding behind those objects. He tries to move only to not be able to. He glances down and spies that he is tied down to a chair. He notices rope around his wrists, ankles and his chest. He isn't going anywhere anytime soon. His attention is brought back to his surroundings when he swears that he hears something. "Hello?" He calls out a little nervously as his eyes scan around looking for any movement. He keeps listening for anymore possible sounds. His eyes are brought over to where he swears he saw movement from the corner of his right eye. His eyes keep a watch where he swears he saw it.

A human figure steps out covered in darkness but the outline still visible. "Greetings." A female voice speaks up as Hikaru squints a little to try to get a better look at what he believes to be a person. "So you have finally decided to wake up."

Hikaru stops squinting, unable to get any better look at who is standing there. He raises his head trying to look strong and unafraid despite being rather scared. "Who are you? And what do you want from me?" He demands in as strong of a voice that he can manage in that moment.

"Well it's not you that we are after." The lady steps into the light moving closer to Hikaru. Her smirk wide and almost devious in a way, though her words making Hikaru fear now for his brothers safety. "For you see there is a little something that needs to be… Taken care of… So to speak."

"Just what in the world do you plan to do with my brother!?" Hikaru snaps at the lady who just smirks a little more. He however wonders if there can be an understanding brought about. He might be able to stop this if he manages to reason with her. "Look. If he killed someone you cared for then I'm sorry. But please understand we are working on a different way. A way where he won't have to kill. Please just be understanding and give him a second chance."

"You don't seem to understand everything about what happened and whats going on. But none of that anymore. Oh, and as for anything else you don't need to worry about that." The lady turns so that her back is facing Hikaru. "All that a pathetic human like you needs to worry about is staying put."

"Stay put or what?" Hikaru challenges now glaring at the lady. "You're going to put me back in the same spot?"

The lady turns only enough to look at the ginger haired male slightly over her shoulder. "No." She responds with such calmness as if none of how evil it appears to be to Hikaru even makes her give two shakes of a rats tail. She just didn't care at all. "If you escape from there where you are bound, well, then you'll have to deal with them. Not me."

"Them?" Hikaru questions in slight confusion not totally sure where this lady is going with this. His confused look turns to one of surprise when he swears that he hears a growl. He turns to his left just as a giant wolf comes strolling past him from somewhere behind him. His eyes meet the wolves own as the wolf looks ready to rip him to shreds at any moment. His head whips to the other side just as another giant wolf is walking past very much like the first one. His head turns as the two of them move to stand in front of him looking to him standing at attention.

The lady turns away from them. "Well I'll let the three have fun." She says simply with a wave that is done with only half the effort.

Hikaru's eyes are flickering between the two wolves as his teeth are clenched and eyes narrowed. His hands are shaky though he attempts to hide it from the wolves.

At the twins mansion…

Kaoru hands Jay some black pants, a black pull over hoodie and a pair of socks.

The grey haired male, with brilliant blue eyes, takes them and disappears into the bathroom to change from a tank top and jeans to the new clothes.

Kaoru sits down on his and his brothers bed looking down in worried thought. He knows that the others are outside checking out any possible 'bread crumbs' that will lead the way… However he can't help but worry about his brother who is out there with wolves who seek revenge. He closes his eyes tightly cursing himself to having allowed his brother to get mixed up in this. He wonders if Hikaru never found out the truth if this would still be happening to him. He also begins to wonder if he should have confronted that girl from that one time in the host club. His eyes snap open as he almost gasps in realization.

That girl… She must have been a spy for the werewolves! She learned of Hikaru and how close the two of them seemed to be.

That's why they went after Hikaru in the first place.

Kaoru brings his hands up to his face and drags them down on his face. He can't believe he didn't fully think of that before. He shakes his head, his eyes close tightly once more as he does so, before he opens them with determination. He will win. He will get his brother back.

And the clan is here to help.

The bathroom door opens and Kaoru knows that it is time.
