Chapter 3- Broken Phone
~Hikaru~
I got hurt. Again. With a fork. They give me a slice of bread a day. Half a glass of water.
I'm surprised I'm still alive.
I try to stop my mid wandering so I can focus on the task at hand. Breaking Out.
I rammed the hair-pin back into the shackles and kick it around with my foot. Then I heard a click.
A click! I pulled out the hair-pin and let the hand-cuffs fall off my hands. My wrists were a bloody mess.
I stood up, one of the things I practically never got to do, and stumbled over to the door.
Locked. Duh.
I went over to the single, tiny window in the wall. It was no-where near big enough.
I sighed and sat back down. I'd have some time without the cuffs and focus on how to get out.
...
~Kaoru~
I sat in class, tapping on my desk. Thinking about how I might be able to contact Hikaru, when it struck me.
His cell-phone. Why the hell didn't I think of that?! I quickly raise my hand in the air.
"Bathroom?" I nod. The teacher says okay and I go charging down the hall.
I pull out my phone and dial Hikaru's number. I held the phone with white-knuckles.
Suddenly it was picked up.
"Hikaru!?" I yelled into the phone.
"K-Kaoru?" I heard from the other end, "Kaoru, help! It's- It's Har—"
The call was cut off. I started screaming at the phone, "Hikaru!? Hikaru!?"
I simply stood there for a second, then went charging back up the hall.
I ran into Tamaki and Kyoya's classroom.
I stood, panting, breathless. Tamaki stood up and looked at me.
"It's Hika—" I toppled over sideways and passed out.
...
~Hikaru~
The phone was ripped out of my hands and I was sent flying backwards.
I heard a crunch that sounded suspiciously like bone. Then I felt the intense pain. It shot through my thigh.
I screwed up my eyes and ground my teeth.
Ranka crushed my bone again and stormed out of the room.
When I opened my eyes my leg was at an odd angle and it was throbbing. I gingerly touched it and winced when it hurt.
I bit my lip and carefully dragged myself to a corner and huddled there.
I hoped they would come for me.
...
~Kaoru~
When I opened my eyes, I saw Kyoya and Tamaki standing over me. "Are you okay Kaoru?" Tamaki asked and knelt down next to me.
I sat up, rubbing my head, "Uh, yeah. I s'pose." Then I remembered.
I shot up, "I called Hikaru!" Kyoya looked slightly bewildered at my outburst. Tamaki's eyes widened.
"What? Really?!"
I nodded furiously, "Yeah! He spoke to me! He said, 'Kaoru! Help! It's-It's Har—' then he got cut off!"
Kyoya looked thoughtful, "What's 'Har'? What could that have led onto…"
I suddenly gasped.
Tamaki glanced at me, "What is it?"
I covered my mouth, "Har- uhi." Tamaki looked at me like I'd just told him I'd killed someone.
"What?! How dare you accuse my innocent daughter!" He exploded at me.
I cringed, "Well I don't want it to be her! But we have to look at everything! Har- uhi. She couldn't show up the next day. What other proof do you need?!"
Kyoya stood up and pushed me into a sitting position. "That's not enough Kaoru. Now calm down. I'll ask the police to track the call and we'll soon see, won't we?"
...
Hmm... Should I do a 'One Month Later' type thing next chapter? Or make it the same time?
You decide!
