Chapter 9 Phone Call

All those extra reviews got me motivated! Here's the next chapter for my lovely fans :) thank you for reading.

I do not own Ouran HS HC

Mina didn't want to call him. She didn't want to be weak, or constantly rely on one person. She couldn't call anyone from the host club, she didn't want their families involved in this fiasco, besides if they got involved, the public could assume that a jury was paid off.

How could the police possibly believe that Mina had killed her father? She even had an alibi. Apparently, as Mina had been informed, her father was dead before she even left on her trip. That means that nasty woman must have killed her father while Mina was at school. She had even tried to tell the police what had happened with her stepmother, but they called her a liar! Aya really must be good at planting evidence, she thought.

Looking on the bright side, Mina thought, she was at least alone in the cell. No creepy murderer sitting across from her staring at her like she was a piece of meat. Still, the cell was not the lap of luxury that she was quite used to. It was cold and lonely. And the realization hit her. She was alone. Her father was dead, Aya probably did it, the host club could do nothing for her and she had last left Kyoya on bad terms. No one was coming for her, she would be here alone forever. The host club might come to her defense on the witness stand, but she seriously did not want to get them involved, especially if Aya had already paid off all the likely judges that would handle her case.

She lost her resolve in that moment. The crushing void emptiness overcame her, tears rolled down her face as she crumpled into the corner. A guard came up to the front of the cell,

"Ready to make that phone call?" He asked with a grin on his face, eyeing her up and down.

Mina could only nod. The guard, who was a very burly man, walked her to where the phones were located. She sat down, pick up the phone and dialed.

There was an agitated, "hello?" on the end. She winced. This was a mistake. She couldn't speak, the only thing her voice could muster was a pathetic, desolate,

"Please."

Kyoya did not like being woken up. Ever. So when his phone rang at 5a.m. he was peeved. He ignored it hoping it wasn't important. When the phone rang again he almost tossed it across the room. But he noticed that the caller was his elite, private police force captain.

"What is it?" He asked tired and aggravated.

"I'm sorry sir, to wake you up, but I thought you would like to know this information if you haven't learned it already." The Captain said evading being straightforward.

"Just tell me." Kyoya was now curious, the Captain knew better than to wake him other than in an absolute dire emergency, but if this was just one of Tamaki's emergencies, Kyoya would murder him.

"You fiancée, Miss Mina Heart, was arrested last night for the suspected murder of her father," the Captain stated.

Kyoya's heart jumped out of his chest, murder? Mina? Not possible. What on Earth was going on? He then asked, "Where is she being held?"

The Captain told him the location and then Kyoya hung up on him. The bail money would not be hard to get, but why hadn't Mina called him? She wouldn't have called her stepmother after she left that nasty bruise on her back. He understood that she might not want to shatter his family's reputation but the effect would have already happened the moment it was announced because of their public engagement. His father would be thrilled about that. Would probably say he deserved it being the 3rd son and all.

Then he remembered. Mina was still mad at him. But could he really let her rot in a cell by herself, for something he was well aware she couldn't possibly make herself do? Kyoya couldn't make up his mind. There were so many pros and cons to helping her. If her helped her, she probably wouldn't be mad anymore, plus he really wanted to help her out of there because of his feelings for her. And if he didn't come to her rescue the Hiitachin twins might or Tamaki might do it, not really having anything to inherit.

On the other hand, her bail was a lot of money to dish out when a jury would just announce that she was innocent anyway. And if Mina was still mad after he bailed her out, he would just look and feel like a fool. She clearly didn't want his help since she hadn't called him. He decided that he had enough time to figure it out in the morning and curled up in his bed to get more rest. Just has he had gotten comfy, an unknown number showed up on the caller i.d. of his cell phone.

Although thoroughly pissed at being woken up earlier in the morning and the phone call now he turned over and picked up his phone, "Hello?" He answered agitated.

There was a sound of wobbling for a moment and then,

"Please."

was all that came from the other ended. It was broken and anguished as if this person was tormented by something.

He recognized the voice. It was all he needed. He got out of bed and got dressed and headed to the police station where the girl of his dreams sat against the wall crying, her will finally broken.

That one word was all he needed to fall in love with her.
