Broken Promises

Authoress: Cattsy (Catness)

Authoress notes: Hmm, sorry about the lateness. But in reply to all reviews from the previous chapter. Sorry about the Hikaru/ Kaoru relationship issues. Sometimes I forget what I've written in previous chapters. I've sorta written bits into the last chapter so it works out and changed a few bits here and there. But not too much. In reply to the Sebastian issue. I was sort of insinuating he wasn't hapanese by mentioning that he had blond hair and blue eyes. Blond hair and blue eyes is generally characteristic of European people. As for the collapsing bit? Throughout previous chapters I was insinuating that he was exhausted. Yet I had put in the handkerchief and stinging bit in case I was going to have Sebastian kidnap him or something...

Chapter word count: 543 words

Point of view: Hikaru

Chapter Six:

After picking myself up, a while later, I wiped away a tear and I looked around to see what everyone was doing. Tamaki and Kyouya had stepped aside and were talking quietly. I was willing to bet that they'd like an explanation of what had happened. If they asked, I would tell them that it was personal. I didn't even know what had happened, so I didn't want anyone else to see that weakness. Kyouya held his cell phone; he had probably called several people to go out looking for Kaoru. Or at least I hope he did.

I was getting worried. Kaoru had always stayed in close proximity of each other. Occasionally we had gone separate ways, but not very far and not for very long. It hurt inside. It was burning me, not knowing what was happening with Kaoru. I felt as if there was something wrong. What if he'd fallen and hurt himself? What if he'd gotten lost?

Kyouya strutted over in a high class manner. He placed his cell phone in a pocket and said a word or two to Tamaki, quietly, before turning to me and suggesting that I go home and see if Kaoru had gone there. I don't think he had. However, it seemed like a mature thing to do and the drive would let me think. I really needed to calm down.

"I've sent a few people to go looking for your brother," Kyouya said warmly. My heart skipped a beat and I nodded in gratitude. "I think the best thing to do at the moment is to wait and see if he turns up."

The drive felt longer than it should have been. I insisted sitting in the front seat so I could look out the window and see whether my brother was walking near the road or something.

Finally, we arrived home. I raced inside, calling his Kaoru's name as I raced upstairs and into our room... It was rather clean; the maids must have cleaned while Kaoru and I were at school. I sat down on the corner of our bed. It was cold and empty. Quietly, I knelt by the edge.

I wanted to pray that Kaoru was safe. But somehow the words never came to me, instead I urged God to help out where he could. I stood and then left to search a little more.

After searching in a few rooms, it seemed obvious that Kaoru had not come home. I came back downstairs in time to see Tamaki and Kyouya entering the mansion, placing two backpacks down by a hatstand. I'd unpack our things later.

Kyouya ushered a familiar maid over and spoke a few quiet words to her. She shook her head, no; Master Kaoru had not come home.

I walked down the stairs in a depressive manner. In all my life, I had never felt so alone. I looked at Kyouya as the maid hurried away from his side. Kyouya shook his head quietly in my direction.

I walked outside calmly and then down the stairs. I ushered the driver back over and told him just to drive where I told him to drive. I was going to find Kaoru, whether he liked it or not.

To Be Continued…

Authoress notes: Same as last time. My computer is still playing up. Apologies for the problems in the last chapter. I might have made a few mistakes in this one as well, so just mention it if you have a problem.
