I have updated this story after an entire summer! (Though that summer was barely long enough to give me recovery time...) Anyways, I was SUPER tired and EXTREMELY out of focus as I wrote this, so I apologize for any mistakes or weirdness. AND I REALLY APOLOGIZE FOR NOT UPDATING. So sorry. I love you all!

Also FYI, this story isn't on HOLD, but it is going to be updated very VERY rarely. I'm just not interested in it right now, and also school started. I don't know why I am taking two AP classes. I'm not going to survive this school year.

The sky began to darken as Haruhi made her way down the road, tall buildings rising high to her right. The clouds above were swirling into a storm of grays and whites, and as she walked she could feel them beginning to splutter rain onto her head.

A clap of distant thunder erupted like a pounding drum, nearly matching the incredible pounding of Haruhi's heart.

Her pulse would not slow down, couldn't slow down, because she couldn't get over her nerves. How could she? She was following somebody that had possibly framed one of her closest friends of murder.

Her mind was racing, all of what she had heard tumbling around in her skull.

Someone has framed Kaoru; someone who has money, power, connections. I think he may even have someone inside the station working for him…Okay, slow down. We don't know this for sure. But let's just say it's likely.

Is this man the real murderer?

"This is getting pretty dangerous." Haruhi whispered as she danced through crowds of pedestrians so she wouldn't lose sight of the mysterious man in shining black oxfords.

Haruhi froze when the man stopped walking, but she relaxed and moved closer when she realized he was crossing the street. She watched him enter a skyscraper that shone with luxury.

She swallowed her fear as she looked up to the top of the building. It was so high she could have sworn the tip was brushing against the thunderclouds.

The rain grew harder, soaking Haruhi's short hair. She ran across the street and stood before the entrance, her breathing quick.

She wouldn't go in, no. She felt it wasn't the right time.

No, the right time would be tomorrow, at Harding Towers.

Kyoya sat at his desk in his dark bedroom, the only light emanating from his computer screen before him and the occasional lightening flash.

Rain was pounding hard against the windows of his home, and thunder was pounding and cracking every few minutes.

Yet he somehow still heard the hard pounding at his front door.

He thought it was something rolling around outside from the wind at first, but then his ears picked up the sound of shouting. He got up from his computer and jogged from his room, almost tripping over a rug in the hallway. He reached his front door and suddenly slowed, a little apprehensive. He peeked out of his peep hole.

His mouth dropped open as he realized that one of the twins, soaked and shivering, was standing at his door.

He unlocked it and swung it open.

Kyoya believed it was Hikaru, though he couldn't be sure.

Hikaru looked up, his face running with rain water. Or maybe tears.

"Kyoya, you have to help Kaoru."

"What? What's the matter?" Kyoya asked, ushering the wet teenager into his home. Hikaru shook his orange hair of water and took a shaky breath.

"Haven't you heard?" Hikaru asked through chattering teeth.

"No, I just got home. I was in Okinawa for a few days. What happened?"

Hikaru took a deep breath and swallowed hard.

"It's my fault. I can't believe I didn't help him, I should have, he would have for me. I just don't understand-"

"Hikaru, calm down. What exactly happened?"

"Kaoru…Kaoru was arrested."

"For what?"

"For…murder." Hikaru whispered. "But h-he didn't do it."

Kyoya detected a waver in Hikaru's voice that led Kyoya to believe that may not be true.

But he also knew Kaoru. And Kaoru was no murderer. He was calm, caring. There was no way he could ever commit something like this.

Kyoya narrowed his eyes.

"Come on." He said as he led Hikaru, who Kyoya thought was on the verge of a mental breakdown, to the couch. Kyoya threw him a towel.

"Just rest here for a minute."

Kyoya had a few calls to make.

Haruhi was lying awake on her bed when she received a call.

"Hello?"

"Haruhi, I need to ask you some questions."

"Kyoya senpai? You have no idea how happy I am that you called. I overheard an interesting conversation today that I need to tell somebody about..."

Kyoya paused before answering.

"Alright, tell me."

"Okay, you know about Kaoru, right?"

"I've been informed of the basics."

"Earlier, Tamaki and I were in the park talking about it. Tamaki left, but another guy came into the park soon after talking on his cell. He mentioned Kaoru's name, and he said some really suspicious stuff about him. He said that there was no way Kaoru would be acquitted, and that he would definitely be charged. Of murder. I'm pretty positive he was speaking of our Kaoru, not another. He also mentioned that he has a guy on the inside."

"You think he has someone in the station?"

"Yes."

"Right. Goodbye, I'll keep you informed."

"Wait, didn't you have quest-" Harugi tried, but Kyoya quickly hung up. That didn't matter though. She had just needed to tell someone about the incident in the park.

Though she hadn't told him about the meeting between the man and someone else at Harding towers.

She had a feeling that if Kyoya knew, he would use his police to storm the building and they would never discover who that man was going to meet up with. But if Haruhi went alone, she could find out. She could help Kaoru.

And she was determined to do so.

Kaoru and Fish sat on the top bunk while Mr. Pedo sat on the bottom.

"Do you really think he's a pedophile?" Fish asked. Kaoru didn't answer.

He had other things to think about.

Dennis Harding. The man had admitted to murder, but had he been telling the truth? Why would he have told Kaoru? Just to torture him?

"I don't understand it any of it." Kaoru said aloud. Fish looked at him and raised his eyebrows.

"What?"

"Everything happening to me. It doesn't make sense. How can Dennis do this to me, how is it this easy to take me down?"

Fish pursed his lips. "Well, maybe he's done it before."

"Maybe..." Kaoru said, suddenly deep in thought.

"Or maybe he just has it out for you."

Kaoru sighed and leaned against the wall.

This is insane.

"Hey, Kaoru." Fish said. Kaoru turned to see his cell mate's eyes shining with mischief.

"How about we break out of this jail cell?"

Who's tired? I am! I need sleep but I don't want it. Thanks for reading lovelies, review please if you are able. They are greatly appreciated.
