Disclaimer: I don't own Ouran *sigh*
By the time the fire department arrived, the entire house was in flames and the only thing they could do was keep it from spreading to the neighboring houses.
"Check around back." Itami said to one of the firemen, "some people may have gotten out that way." she was praying that her boss and the Hitachiin brothers had gotten out that way. A fit of coughs sent her to her knees, even though she had gotten out quickly she had still inhaled some smoke. A paramedic helped her up, sat her on the edge of an ambulance and put an oxygen mask on her. She felt it was unnecessary, there were people on her team that were far worse than she was.
A car pulled up next to the ambulance she was sitting in and Tamaki stepped out of the back seat, "What happened?" He asked her.
"There was an explosion from inside the house. Someone yelling woke me up, then a few seconds later there was an explosion and the house caught on fire."
"Kaoru and Hikaru?"
Itami shook her head, "I don't know, Akio is missing to."
A knot twisted in Tamaki's stomach, there had been no way to see this coming, but the question was how had he done it? He had managed to get into the house unnoticed so he might have had plenty of time to plant explosives. His knees felt weak as he watched the house burn; even after he was dead, Sayuki Katsutoshi was still wrecking their lives.
She felt so weak now; Hunni estimated that they had been in the room for at least 49 hours. The thought made her empty stomach clench; that meant that they had around a day before they died of dehydration. Hunger and thirst were competing for her attention, both were far worse than before.
"Hunni-senpai," she whispered as loudly as she could, "can we make the call now?"
Hunni rolled onto his side, "Yes." his voice sounded much more confident than hers did. He pulled out her cellphone, "Come help me."
She got up and crawled her way over to Hunni then collapsed on the floor, tired from that short journey, "Who are we calling this time?"
"Not Takashi." he said with a not of sadness in his voice.
Haruhi reached out and put a comforting hand on his arm, "He's fine. Lets call Tamaki-senpai, he usually has his phone."
Carefully they set up the antenna and Hunni turned on her phone. He hummed impatiently until they got a signal, 'please have enough battery,' he thought has he pressed Send to call Tamaki.
Tamaki was still standing in front of the burning mansion when his phone rang in his pocket. Hoping it was his father, he answered it without looking, "Hello?"
"Tama-chan?" a crackly voice said, the words were coming more clearly than they had the first time.
"Hunni-senpai, is that you? Are you okay?"
"An. . .Haru. . ." the connection was breaking up.
"Do you know where you are? Are you okay?" He repeated his earlier question with more urgency.
"A room somewhere." Hunni's voice got a little louder, but it still broke in places, "A big metal door. . . cement block walls and. . . no water. . ." a series of crackling noises and broken up voices followed and then the line went dead.
"Try moving it again." Hunni practically yelled when the signal started to go. Haruhi moved the straw a little, but it fell and the connection was broken.
"We don't know if they got a trace." Haruhi said.
Hunni was silent, an indescribable look on his face, "Haruhi, did you hear sirens in the background of Tama-chan's phone?"
"No." She said with a shake of her head.
"Hm." he said and fell back into silence, wondering if he had just imagined it.
Haruhi took her phone back and watched as the battery died, along with their hope of being found.
Tamaki almost threw his phone to the ground, Hunni-senpai and Haruhi had no idea where they were and neither did the people hired to find them. Would this never end? Kyouya was dead; Mori was in the hospital; Hunni and Haruhi were on the verge of dehydration; Hikaru and Kaoru were missing, possibly dead; and here he was, the last one physically unharmed. In a way Sayuki Katsutoshi had been right, he was the last one standing. But he knew he wasn't unharmed, he didn't know if he could make it through this mentally okay. Tamaki hadn't slept since Kyouya's funeral. He was exhausted, angry and possibly on the verge of a mental breakdown. Had this been the killers plan all along? No, his plan was to kill them all, not kill some then let him live.
Someone put a hand on his shoulder, "You need to get out of here!" a fireman shouted at him, "It's not safe!"
Tamaki turned back and got into the car, "Take me to the hospital." he wanted to be there to see if they had found Hikaru and Kaoru in the fire.
Silence. Silence and darkness, that was all he could see or hear. His memory seemed to be a little fuzzy as well, he didn't remember arriving at this dark lonely place. He remembered yelling, and fire, and then he must have blacked out because he didn't remember coming here. There was a faint light in the distance of the darkness. Was it distant or just really small? It grew larger, or came closer, until it was practically in his face.
"Do you see it?" a quiet voice said beside him.
He turned to see his brother, "Yes, but what is it?"
"It's a light."
He felt the urge to roll his eyes, but voice distracted him. The voices were like a choir, singing a song without words, but at the same time, it wasn't a song at all. It was a calling. "Do we go into it?"
"I think we're supposed to." his brother said, taking his hand, "I don't know if I want to."
He nodded, there seemed to be something invisible pulling them back into the darkness, away from the light. A sharp pain in his chest suddenly shocked him. "Did you-" but he didn't get a chance to finish his sentence.
Tamaki sat in the waiting room, they wouldn't let him wait in Mori-senpai's room because it was way passed visiting hours. The nurse who had let him in past visiting hours before was off duty and the new nurse was not a very pleasant woman. He hadn't seen Hikaru or Kaoru yet, or heard any news of them either.
A few hours later, Itami walked into the waiting room and sat next to him, "They found Akio-san, but he's in a coma, which puts me in charge of finding Fujioka-san and Haninozuka-san."
"Any news about Hikaru and Kaoru?"
She nodded, "They found them as well, both have incredibly severe burns, they are in ICU at the moment. They almost lost both of them, but they managed to resuscitate them. It's still doubtful that they will live."
That was just about the final straw for him, a combination of exhaustion and anger caused him to turn on Itami. He stood up, prepared to chew Itami out, but sudden dizziness caused his anger to flee. He put a hand to his head, "I don't feel-" but he collapsed before he could finish.
Itami knelt down to check his pulse and breathing, "Nurse!" she yelled, "We need help in here!"
... I don't really have anything to say this time, strange.
