Chapter six:
The rest of the host club have a good general plan of what they will do.
Hikaru looks over to Kyouya. "Have you found him?" He asks the other.
"One second." Kyouya says still concentrating. He clicks a final key then smiles. "I got him." He says.
Hikaru brightens. "Yes!" He looks ready for action as he leaps to his feet. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
….
Kaoru continues to lay there staring at the ceiling. He swears he can almost hear a clock that seems to be echoing in his head as it counts down to his death.
…
The nurse goes over to the chair first checking that it won't fall apart, that it isn't stiff enough that they can't move it since they mostly need it to move to adjust for the robot that will be in it and she checks the restraints to make sure that they are sturdy as well as wont slip loose while they have the robot strapped to it.
Once that is completed she makes sure that the restraints are open ready to take a hold of the robot.
She moves on to check the special liquid to make sure that they have enough to do what they are going to do in the bottle that looks to be the most ready to use. She then puts out the bottle of the special liquid to be used. She goes over to grab a needle, where they are stored, that will be used to inject the special liquid into the robot. She makes sure that it is ready to be used and can be used. She sets the needle by the bottle. She goes to where the files are to grab the paperwork to keep the record of the robot's destruction. She begins to make sure that the paperwork is ready to go.
Once done she puts it on the clipboard ready for the doctor to check to confirm that it is all done so they can begin the procedure to destroy the robot.
She does a final sweep of the room as a final check that it is ready for the whole procedure.
Now that everything is done the nurse leaves to go to let the doctor know that everything is all ready for the robots destruction.
Her footsteps sound almost heavy as she walks almost as if purposely keeping up with the ticking of the clock that to someone about to go on the death roll it's ticking would seem impossibly loud echoing around them with each step they take.
Though the nurse doesn't seem to even notice it.
The nurse makes it to the front desk where the doctor is sitting as he does some writing possibly a report on a patient. "Doctor it's ready."
The doctor looks up turning his head to look to her. "Good. Bring him up. It's time."
"Yes doctor." The nurse bows slightly then goes down to get Kaoru.
The doctor looks down slightly. "If only we had this at that time." He mummers to himself. He shakes his head going back to being professional looking. He gets up and begins to get himself ready waiting for the nurse to bring Kaoru to the room before he will enter.
….
The host club decided to take Kyouya's limo since it was there and would be faster than walking.
Kyouya gave the instructions of where to go to the driver then once they are all in they are off on their way. "Get there as quickly as possible." He instructs through the small window that the two can communicate through as it is in limos.
"Yes young master." The driver says in respect. He begins going as fast as he legally can.
Hikaru stares out the window worried and scared that they won't make it in time. His thoughts include things like 'What if we are too late? What if they have already destroyed him?' He only is making himself more worried and scared his thoughts will be true when they get there.
Tamaki, who is the closest to him, puts a hand on Hikaru's shoulder.
Hikaru turns enough to look to Tamaki.
"We'll find him and save him." Tamaki says with an assuring smile. "Don't worry."
Hikaru glances down, gives a small nod then turns back to looking out the window as Tamaki's hand slides off of his shoulder. He knows they will do everything they can to save Kaoru before it's too late… However he still can't stop worrying that they may be too late. He hopes that his thoughts are not correct.
The drive feels like it is taking longer as time almost seems to slow down for Hikaru.
Hikaru swears he can see the memories he has of himself and Kaoru of their time together. He reaches into his pocket and takes out the picture. He looks down to it cutting short the movie only he could see of his memories with Kaoru. He lightly trails his fingertips along Kaoru's jawline in the photo. "Please… Please hold on and stay alive." He whispers under his breath as he stares into the eyes of Kaoru in the picture. "Please still be alive." He adds also under his breath as he manages to hold back tears from the thoughts that they'll be too late as he reminds himself that there is no sign or anything to tell him that Kaoru is actually destroyed yet. He takes a deep breath then raises his head to stare out the window with fierce renewed determination.
They will do everything they can and Kaoru will be saved!
He just has to keep telling himself that and keep the bad thoughts out. He will save Kaoru!
…
Kaoru slightly glances to the door as he hears footsteps sounding like someone is coming.
The footsteps continue and Kaoru can tell that they are coming for him.
To destroy him… To kill him.
The footsteps have become like the clock ticking to him. Loud and echoing inside of his head as if to count each second that ticks by as his death draws nearer and nearer. The footsteps are getting closer and closer.
Finally the nurse appears in view.
"Time to go." She says.
Kaoru stares at her for a second then he sits up getting to his feet.
Seeing the movement as an acceptance the nurse unlocks the door opening it as Kaoru gets to his feet.
The door swings open outward towards the nurse with a few squeaks and a creak.
Kaoru walks to exit the cell. He knew that this time would come… He always knew that one day it would all boil down to this….. His destruction.
"Let's go." The nurse says and walks to the exit out of the area leaving the cell door open.
Kaoru follows after her as he has already accepted his fate since he was given his mission since he knew what would happen to him in the end.
This is the end… Or well will be the end…The end for Kaoru.
A clock ticks away and the hand moves as another minute has gone by causing the minute hand to strike upon the number twelve on its face. The tick seems to echo loudly to the ears of those who may not see another speck of life again, almost as if it was the final tick the clock though in reality it is soft ticking that will never stop unless it no longer has any power to run.
Kaoru knows what will come next and he is ready for the inevitable to happen because soon it will happen. His eyes show nothing but a strong look showing that he has accepted his fate to any of those who would look to him. "It's a good day to die." He says under his breath.
