Chapter Three
Chapter Three
Mori walked into the room just as Kyoya was turning his unplugged computer back on so he could attempt to try and rescue his work.
"Mori-Senpai?" He asked.
"Yes."
"Aren't you supposed to be at judo?"
The tall boy shrugged and said;
"Where's Mitsukuni, is he alright?"
'Mori-senpai has a sixth sense?' Kyoya made a mental note of this fact, slightly in awe of the older boy's dedication to his cousin.
Kyoya had a very idealistic opinion, but he was still under the impression that someone had cursed this day, seeing as it was getting more and more frustrating as it progressed.
'Thank heavens it's almost home time.' Then he shrugged,
"I don't know where he went, he just ran away." He stated bluntly, trying to ignore the growing sense of responsibility he held over Hunny's disappearance.
'Damit, it wasn't my fault,' he yelled mentally at Mori, 'Stop looking at me like that.'
"Well, he can't have gone too far," He said in an attempt to comfort the distressed senior, "He's left hi night light behind."
Mori didn't look too convinced about this. Looking at the un-plugged rabbit head seemed too much to bear, so instead he turned his eyes to the cool, calculating 'Shadow King'.
"Will you help me look for him?" He asked.
Kyoya glanced at the rebooting computer, then at the rabbit head, then back at the computer again. His indecision made Mori nervous, and he was worried that Kyoya would refuse to help him. But then his shoulders relaxed slightly.
"Just let me save these files."
Kyoya hoped for Hunny's sake that the computer's auto-save function had worked. If not, he was almost positive he would find the boy, and probably try to beat him up. The computer's log-on process filled the room with its mechanical buzz as Mori stood by, waiting in emotional agony for the start the search for his missing cousin.
When Kyoya finally switched of the computer's monitor, Mori was ready to go. He would have raced out of the room without a plan, but Kyoya put out a hand to stop him.
"We'll split up." He suggested. "You take one half of the school, I'll take the other."
Mori considered the idea. It seemed like a good plan, Kyoya always had good plans, he'd noticed that several times. He had made a decision a long time ago, that he would rather follow one of Kyoya's plans then one of Tamaki's fooleries. He nodded and went to leave again, but again Kyoya had something else to say;
"I doubt he's left the school, but if we can't find him, we'll have to track him outside of the school somehow."
Mori nodded again and took off on his search. Kyoya watched him go, and then put on his blazer to try and ward off the chill that was creeping into the room. He closed the door gently behind him, and then strode idly around the corner.
'We need to find him in the school. It's much too much work looking for him outside school grounds; I might have to charge him for my time.' These thoughts bounced around in his head as he peered into a nearby classroom. Then he chuckled slightly to himself. What would Tamaki think if he knew that his Shadow King was more interested in work then the well-being of a fellow Host Club member? He probably didn't want to find out. The next room was as empty as the last and, as his mind wandered, he realised he didn't want to find Hunny, because he didn't want to apologise.
The plot thickens!
