~Hikaru's POV~
The only thing that Hikaru could think about was Kaoru, and how horrible he was being treated Saburo, the cruel man who posed as the devilish teen. If only he was stronger, if only he could have the power to save his darling brother…but much to Hikaru's chagrin, he seemed to be deemed as unworthy by whatever gods were out there.
All Hikaru ultimately wanted to do in life was explore the world, alongside Kaoru of course, as they stayed together forever. Now, those dreams of his seemed to be impossible, shattered into oblivion forever.
"AH! I hate this!" he suddenly screamed, slumping against the wall in defeat. "Why did this have to happen?! All I wanted was for everyone to be happy…"
Sebastian watched him, his expression blank. "You are aware that you won't be in here much longer, right? As soon as my master finds us, we'll be able to escape in no time, and you can return to your brother."
"Well, yeah, okay, but what about your master?" Hikaru retorted. "I mean, he's an easy target for Saburo now."
"Don't underestimate him." Sebastian refrained from speaking after that, leaving Hikaru even more pissed off.
Eventually, the door opened, and a hooded figure appeared. The figure was the same size as Hikaru, but was carrying a bag that seemed to be about the size of an elementary school child.
"Hello, brother, are you enjoying your company?" the figure asked, revealing himself as Saburo. He was grinning slyly, and appeared to be handling the package with delicacy.
"Let me out of here right now!" Hikaru demanded. "There is no need to do this!"
"Blah, blah, blah—tell me when I care," Saburo snapped, dropping the bag. The bag in question made a familiar noise as it fell to the ground.
"No… who do you have in there now?!" Hikaru growled.
"Oh, just more ransom. I'm trying to get a certain brat down here; he's getting in my way."
Sebastian, Hikaru noticed, was eyeing the bag warily. Was his master in there, or the person he thought?
"Ransom? That's a quite a pathetic reason," Sebastian stated, his red eyes seemed to be analyzing Saburo in depth. "Why not just take care of them straight on instead of making a bigger mess of yourself by kidnapping others? Even an idiot could figure that out."
"Shut up!" Saburo shouted, glaring at Sebastian. "You know nothing of my intentions! If I didn't have a separate plan in motion, I would have had Saske kill you already!"
"Hm? Why? Are you too weak to fight me, and you have to use a Shinigami to do all the dirty work for you? So much for your oh-so-amazing plan."
Saburo grunted, then dumped the person out of the bag. Not to Hikaru's surprise, it was Honey, the oldest yet smallest member of the Host Club.
Hikaru stared, wide-eyed. "That was a REALLY bad idea on your part, and you know it…"
"How else would I lure him down here? I gotta get rid of him somehow, or else everything I've done up to this point will have been for absolutely nothing!" Saburo gave Hikaru and Sebastian the death stare, then pulled out a whip from the very same bag Honey was transported in. "Now, I believe this will be the perfect way to have my—ah, revenge…"
Saburo raised the whip, and fire seemed to be blazing in his amber eyes, the exact same colour as Hikaru's. Hikaru himself refused to stand for it. Honey was innocent, and also his friend.
"NO!" Hikaru screamed, and he launched himself at Honey, effectively knocking the unconscious Host Club member out of the way, only to find his own skin immediately sliced by the barbed ribbon.
"Damn you!" Saburo shouted, but continued to slap Hikaru with the whip, over and over again. "This is for taking everything from me! This is for Kaoru! This is for making Mom and Dad leave me on the streets! This is for taking my life away from me! We were meant to be triplets, Hikaru! But of course your—OUR PARENTS LOVED YOU TWO MORE, AND GAVE ME AWAY TO AUNTIE! The one who you guys never visited, all because she became homeless from losing her wealth before we were even born! I hate you, Hikaru! I HATE BOTH YOU AND KAORU, AND YOU'RE BOTH GOING TO PAY FOR IT!"
~Sebastian's POV~
All Sebastian could do was watch as Hikaru was sliced apart by the whip. Blood was everywhere. Normally, he would've resolved the situation by now, but the enchanted chains prevented him from using his abilities. His hunger from lack of souls wasn't helping, either.
"Ah, what a childish brat," Sebastian commented, observing the scene before him. "Even more so than my master, in fact. You take out your childish anger from the past on the one not responsible, as if it'll fix whatever pain you went through as a toddler. Heh, humans are quite interesting, indeed."
Saburo ceased whipping Hikaru, and dropped it with shaking hands. Hikaru, luckily, was still alive, though he was in a lot of obvious pain. Fresh blood seeped through his ripped up uniform, and the moans emanating from the teen didn't seem human.
"Saske…" Saburo hissed, pointing at Sebastian. "Forget the original plan. Subdue him NOW!"
Sebastian barely had time to turn around, when a death scythe poked straight through his stomach, and cinematic records began to fill the room…and Sebastian's mind.
~Tamaki's POV~
By the time Tamaki, Shieru, and Kyoya made it back to the Host Club, a majority of it was already mostly rubble. Mori, in angry panic from the loss of Honey, was gone on a rampage, and Tamaki partially blamed himself for the situation.
As the president of the club, Tamaki almost considered himself the 'father' of all the members. As a result of that, he was always very protective over everyone as well. In the moment that Tamaki took off to look for Shieru, Honey disappeared, and now Tamaki felt as though he failed in his 'fatherly' duties.
"Mori, stop this!" Tamaki shouted, as he looked around the room. Luckily, there were no customers, but he could see Kaoru chasing behind Mori frantically. "Calm down! If you're running around like this, we'll never find Honey!"
That was when Shieru suddenly screamed, and when Tamaki looked over, his eye was bleeding.
