Chapter 8... Gone
Takashi growled lowly in his throat, impatient. Kisa had been in the hospital, recuperating from her surgery, for a month. Emily and Kyouya had gone on five dates, and Takashi had surprised Kisa several times with movies, and board games. Now, however, he had to wait for the rest of the host club to change, so they could all go to the hospital. Together. Which wouldn't have been a problem if they weren't taking so damn long. And Takashi had this feeling that something just wasn't right.
Kisa hummed quietly to herself, and turned another page in her book. She was so bored, but there was nothing to do until someone showed up. Her mom had finally gone back to work, and both her brothers had gone back to school, now that it was obvious that Kisa was okay.
"Kisa." Jackson leaned against the door to her room, and just looked at her. "I hear you are to be released to day."
"Really? That's wonderful! Who told you that?" Kisa beamed, and bounced lightly in her bed.
"I saw your charts, and have decided it. You are coming home with me today. Your friends at your old school miss you very much." Jackson informed her, still staring.
"What do you mean? Mom has custody of me." Kisa looked confused, and she felt fear race through her body.
"Well, if you really want to take the time to check with your mother, then I guess I could take the time to tell the media Daemon's secret, and take away Emily and Sophie's inheritances, oh and Chikko will lose all of his money, so he won't be able to become a doctor. I'm sure they will find lovely marriages without the money I have to offer." Jackson remarked cooly, observing his nails. Kisa went still. She knew that Kyouya's father wouldn't let him marry Emily if she didn't have any money to he name. Daemon would be devastated if the media was told his secret. She could deal with the people from her old school, if only to protect her family.
"Alright, I'll go back to the states with you. Please, just leave Daemon, Emily and Sophie out of this." Kisa gasped.
"You have five minutes to pack. I will be right back." Jackson turned on his heel, and left. As soon as he was gone, Kisa leaped off her bed, and flew into the bathroom. She hurriedly changed into her regular clothes. Then, she grabbed her backpack, and began to shove her books into it. She ripped a piece of paper from her notebook, and hurriedly scrawled a note on it, then shoved it into her pocket. As an after thought, Kisa put her cell phone into the bottom of her backpack, under her change of clothes. She was just zipping her bag up when Jackson walked back into the room.
"Let's go." Jackson picked up her bag, and grabbed her elbow. He gently put pressure on it, and led her from the room. As they left, Kisa saw someone familiar, and ripped herself away form Jackson.
"Dr. Ootori! Father, I'd like to say goodbye." Kisa told him, and rushed forward.
"Ms. Smith. I hear you have been discharged." Dr. Ootori, one of Kyouya's older brothers, smiled at her. Kisa surprised everyone, by throwing her arms around him.
"Thank you for everything. Tell Kyouya Jackson is taking me away, and there are big stakes, and old friends. Give him the note I just slipped into your pocket." Kisa whispered hurriedly, then stepped away from him. "Thanks again Dr. Ootori."
"Come along now, Kisa. We don't have very much time." Jackson commanded.
"Yes, Father." Kisa sighed softly, and followed her father. As soon as Jackson and Kisa were out of earshot, Dr. Ootori pulled out his cell phone, and dialed his baby brother.
"Yes? Are you sure. What does it say? No, I don't think that will be necessary. Thank you Niisan." Kyouya sighed, and closed his phone. The entire host club, plus Emily was in his limo, driving to the hospital.
"Kisa has been discharged. She told my older brother that Jackson is taking her away, and that big things are at stake, and old friends. She slipped a note in his pocket, and it says that either Emily or Takashi has permission to tell us the rest of her story." Kyouya informed them.
"What? Oh no, Kisa is screwed! How are we supposed to stop Jackson. She wouldn't have gone with him unless he threatened her. Which means it had something to do with Sophie, Daemon, Chikko or myself." Emily sighed, and flopped into her seat.
"Why you four? What about Nico?" Tamaki asked, confused.
"He's not scared of Jackson the same way that the rest of us are. He just doesn't care. Now, when Kisa and I were in grade 2, she got pneumonia, and almost died. She missed 2 months of school. Before she got sick, we had all the same friends. When she came back, everyone had forgotten all about her, so she only had me. Over the years, when I wasn't around, they would bully her. Kisa, being who she is, wouldn't ever say anything because she was glad that I had friends. Last year, we were put, for the first time, in separate classes. Kisa was bullied so badly, she attempted suicide. She almost succeeded too. If Chikko hadn't been home, she would have. Mom realized what was happening, and that was when Mom first ran with us. She finally made the decision to come to Japan when it was obvious Kisa couldn't heal and still be in the States. If you don't believe me, next time you see her, look on the insides of her wrists." Emily explained, through her fingers, her head down.
"Didshereallytryandkillherself?" The twins asked, astounded.
"Yes. She had been cutting herself for awhile before she tried." Emily sighed again, and leaned into Kyouya.
"You knew about this, Mori? And you didn't tell us?" Tamaki gasped, hurt.
"She asked me not to tell." Takashi replied evenly. He knew that Kisa telling him had been her way of saying that she wanted to live again.
"What are we going to do? By old friends I'm assuming that Jackson means he will be sending Kisa back to the people who drove her to suicide in the first place. So, we need to stop this." Kyouya sighed. "Where would he take her?"
"To the states. Immediately, so they will be at the nearest international airport." Emily responded.
"Are you sure I'm ready to fly now? My surgery was only a month ago." Kisa whispered to her father. She was feeling incredibly tired, what with the pace Jackson had set, and how little she had moved at the hospital.
"You are fine. Ask more questions, and it won't matter that you are with me. YOur siblings will suffer." Jackson replied mildly.
"No, they won't." A tall blond man with sharp blue eyes remarked. "Kisa, come here. It's okay, you don't have to worry anymore." Kisa instantly scuttled forward, and hid behind the man.
"Nico. How nice to see you again. You know I will follow through with my threats." Jackson replied, his eyes flashing.
"Let me guess, you will take away everyone's money. Which means Chikko won't be able to be a doctor, and the girls will have issues with advantageous marriages. But, you see, it doesn't really matter anymore. See, Emily is dating Kyouya Ootori, third son of the head of the Ootori group. Emily probably wouldn't even have to ask Kyouya, he would probably just make sure that Chikko gets to be a doctor. And as for the marriages? I don't think Kyouya particularly cares how much money Emily has, not when, between the two of them, they will be able to make millions easily. As for Sophie, well, she's falling for Yasuchika, and that boy doesn't care a lick for anything but her and beating his brother in the martial arts. Then, there is darling Kisa. Don't worry, Father. She's practically dating Japan's Kendo champion, Takashi Morinozuka. So, no worries there." Nico calmly informed his father.
"What about Daemon? How do you think his fans will react when they realize he is gay?" Jackson sneered.
"He will get by. And it's not that he's gay. He's bisexual, he just prefers dating men, unless the lady is really special." Nico sneered at his father. "And before you spout nonsense about disowning us, I've changed my name. I am now Nico Fujioka, mother's brother in law's last name. He has always been good to us, better then you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to be getting Kisa home."
"Wait a second. You can't do that, Nico." Jackson snarled, stepping forward.
"Actually, he can. And Mr. Smith? If you take away Chikko's money for school, not only will my family pay for his education, but you will become so buried in debt and problems, that you will be relieved when my family's police force arrives to erase your existence from the face of the Earth. Not that they will do it pleasantly." Kyouya, along with the entire host club, had heard everything Nico had said.
"Yeah,welikeyourtwinstoomuchtoletyoutakethemaway.TheHitachiiswillsupporttheOotorisinthismatter." The twins announced.
"As will the Suohs. So, I suggest you leave. And if you have issues, Mitsukuni and Takashi would be glad to help." Tamaki informed him. Before anyone could comment, he made shooing motions with his hands, and led the others away.
"Thank you, Nico. I really didn't want to go with him." Kisa sighed, and leaned into her brother.
"Of course. Now, no need for introductions, boys. My brothers have shown me pictures already, so I know who you all are. I am Nico Fujioka, the oldest of us." Nico announced. "And you are my baby sister's boyfriend. Just because I threw your name around back there doesn't mean I approve of you. Yet." Nico remarked sternly. Kyouya gulped.
"Yes, sir."
"Don't worry, Kyouya. Nico has this affect on everyone." Emily giggled. She and Kisa glanced at each other, then they both burst out laughing.
"Hey, that's not nice." Nico grumbled, and he lightly pushed Kisa away. Kisa stumbled slightly, and Takashi caught her. After he was sure she was steady on her feet, he threw a glare at Nico.
"Maybe I was wrong, maybe you are already dating." Nico mussed, assessing the way Takashi was holding Kisa, and the glare he had received. Instantly, both flushed.
"Nico!" Kisa gasped.
"Youguysstarteddating?When!" The twins whined, and they pushed the pair into Kyouya's limo.
"Um." Takashi stuttered.
"He asked me out at the sleepover. When I told him everything, then he told me he didn't care, he still thought I was perfect." Kisa grinned, and both of their blushes deepened.
"Hmm. Any guy who can make my previously depressed baby sister smile is okay in my books." Nico grinned, and put a hand up, catching Emily's fist.
"That is so not far." Emily grumbled, to the laughter of the limo.
