A/N: Ok, here is the thing. This story only has about three or four chapters left and I have everything plotted out. I can't get my mind off of it because I want everyone to know what happens, so my goal is to finish it by next weekend. Ergo, I will be updating this one faster than my other stories. I hope you don't mind (well I am sure that you don't). A couple of things on the board that will be coming up: a Satoshi/Haruhi story, Kaoru/Haruhi, and another Hunny/Haruhi. Be on the lookout for those once I wrap up Another Chance. If there is a pairing you would like to see or a story idea, let me know and I will see what I can do. XD. Enjoy the chapter and please review if you can.
PS… I have a poll up on my page. I am writing a Fourth of July story. It will only be a couple of chapters, but I want you to decide on the pairing. Use the poll or the reviews to vote for your fave person. Thanks everyone!
Chapter 58 – Taken by Force
The next day Hunny and Haruhi showed up at the hospital and quickly made their way inside. They were going to get their tracking devices implanted under their skin. Haruhi understood the need for it, but it was still a little creepy knowing that Kyoya could track her anywhere even if she was naked. That thought sent chills up her spine.
Kyoya was waiting for them when they entered the hospital, "I have everything set up and this should not take more than a few minutes each. Tamaki and the others are refusing to get theirs, but they are not as much of a concern right now. The important one is Haruhi."
"Kyoya, do you have a tracking device embedded in your skin?" The girl asked her former senpai.
Pushing up his glasses, he smirked, "Why of course I do Haruhi. I am the head of a large organization and there are more threats out there than just Yasu. I have had the implanted one for over a year now, before that my security team could trace my phone. This is a handier in the event something happens and my team loses sight of me."
Haruhi nodded and looked at the man that had his arm securely around her waist, "Are you sure you want to get this done too Mitsukuni."
"I think it is for the best Haru-Chan," he smiled. He knew she was nervous and what her issues were with the tracking device; they had discussed it at length the night before, and he couldn't blame her. It was kind of disconcerting knowing that no matter what or where, Kyoya could find them. It was probably a good thing that after Yasu was caught, they were getting them removed and then he was going to take her on a nice long vacation… just the two of them.
It hurt a lot more than Haruhi and Hunny thought it would. Why had Kyoya not thought to warn them about that? Then again if he had, she might have chickened out. The important thing was that it was done now and the plan could be put into action. The sooner it was done, the better for her life and her sanity. Fear was currently such a large part of her life; she was ready for it to go away and exist in the past.
Kyoya's plan was simple, in one week she would go to campus and hopefully Yasu would show up and try to take her. The bait had already been dispatched as word was released to a few key people that Haruhi would be returning to campus. It was only a matter of time and a little chance that Yasu would hear about it and want to act. They were in a sense handing Haruhi to him on a silver platter, who would be able to resist that? It was a long shot that he would take the bait because Yasu would probably figure out that it was a trap, but they were running out of options. It was either stay on the defensive or move to the offensive. Kyoya would rather attack than sit and wait.
As the week passed, everyone was preparing for what could possibly be a small battle. The officers and guards were drilled constantly about their positions and the actions they were allowed to take. Everything was planned down to the last detail and Kyoya was meticulous in make sure every contingency was thought about. Hunny reviewed and re-reviewed everything. He knew where each man was going to be, the weapon each person was going to have, and where that person was going to be in reference to Haruhi as she made her way through the school day.
It had been decided that Haruhi would skip her first period class and attend her second class of the day. So late Monday morning, Hunny escorted Haruhi to school. He was supposed to leave her at the curb and then drive off, but he hated the idea of leaving her alone. Allowing Yasu to get near her… that caused his stomach to clench and he wanted to get sick because when he thought about Yasu, he thought about the fact that the maniac could take Haruhi away from him. Holding her hand tight, he tried to be strong for her as the driver made his way through the traffic towards their destination.
"It will be alright Mitsukuni. Kyoya has the whole campus rigged and the plan will go off without a hitch. Yasu will find me on campus 'alone' and when he tries to take me, Kyoya's men will jump in and grab him," Haruhi was trying to reassure her boyfriend, but she was also doing it for herself. The plan itself was sound, but she was still scared that something could go wrong, and she was terrified of Yasu. She wasn't sure what it was, but there was a nagging feeling at the back of her mind that said something was off today.
Wrapping her in his arms, Hunny kissed the top of her head and pulled her close, "I know Haruhi. I just really worry about you. I love you and I don't trust that lunatic."
"Neither do I, but I do trust Kyoya, and I trust you. I love you and we have to believe that this will work," Haruhi rested her head on his chest and listened to his steady heartbeat taking strength in the knowledge that it beat for her; and when Yasu was gone, they could be together without any fears or worries.
Hunny nodded and squeezed her a little tighter, "Ok."
The rest of the ride to campus was spent in silence. Neither one of them wanted to talk and get worked up even more than what they currently were, but that inherent fear was still there gripping them.
When the car pulled up to the curb, Hunny opened the door and stepped out before helping Haruhi out of the car. He pulled her into an embrace and gave her one last kiss before stepping back into the car himself. He had his driver wait another minute or two before pulling away. There was something about the car behind them that wasn't sitting right with him.
Unbeknownst to the couple, Hikaru and Kaoru saw Hunny's limo and told their driver to follow it. They had been told of the plan, but had ignored most of what Kyoya had told them and for some reason believed that everything wasn't going down for another week. So when they watched the car pull up to Todai and Haruhi got out, they decided to pounce on her as soon as Hunny started to pull out.
"Haruhi!" Hikaru and Kaoru ran up to the girl.
Haruhi froze in her tracks. It couldn't be the twins, they knew better than to approach her right now didn't they? She hadn't made it more than five feet from the curb because she didn't move until Hunny had pulled away. "What are you two doing here?"
"Well we see you are back to school so I guess no more danger. Come on we will take you to lunch to celebrate!" Hikaru declared pulling her towards the Hitachiin car.
"Yah, Haruhi we haven't seen you in forever!" Kaoru pushed her and before anyone could reach her, she was in the twins' car and they were speeding off.
"Guys you need to take me back right now!" Haruhi yelled at them.
"Why would we do that?" They asked together.
Glaring at them, she was letting her demon aura come forth, "You may have just ruined any chance we had of catching Yasu."
Hikaru and Kaoru grabbed each other and stammered, "Wh-What do you mean?"
"I mean today Kyoya's plan was going into effect you idiots!"
"Well a little time with us and then we will take you back to campus," Hikaru interjected, "You have been spending all your time with Hunny. You need to make time for us!"
"Do you think this is some kind of joke? Do you think we have wanted to be in hiding and holed up in a place away from our friends and family? You make it sound like a vacation!" Haruhi yelled.
Kaoru decided he needed to be the voice of reason, "No one thinks that it has been fun and games. Isn't that right Hikaru?"
"If you ask me, we haven't heard from Yasu in over a month. Who's to say he hasn't moved on? I think you have been using it as an excuse to stay away from us. Just because you and Hunny are dating now doesn't mean…" Hikaru ranted and was stopped when a hand made contact with his face.
Haruhi narrowed her eyes on Hikaru, "Say one more word and you will regret it. It has been a living nightmare for us and Mitsukuni has been doing everything he can to make sure I don't completely lose it or leave town."
"Sorry, it's just that we haven't seen you," Hikaru pouted.
"And you think kidnapping me and forcing me to go with you is the best solution? You are delusional," Haruhi sneered.
"Look everyone, we're here," Kaoru tried to sound a little more upbeat and break the tension.
Haruhi looked out the window and saw that they had taken her to H-Chan, "I am going to go in here and call Mitsukuni and Kyoya. Stay away from me."
Stepping out of the limo, she walked into the empty restaurant and was immediately greeted by the hostess, "I'm sorry, but we don't open for another thirty minutes." When the waitress saw who she was talking to and the two men behind her, she immediately changed her tune, "Sorry Fujioka-san. The boss isn't here right now."
"I know I am calling him now to come and pick me up. Thank you though," Haruhi smiled at the girl refusing to take out her anger on someone uninvolved in the situation.
Kaoru and Hikaru knew that they had messed up, but didn't know how to fix it. When they saw her get out of the car, they just acted without thinking, "Look Haruhi, we're sorry."
Her only response to them was to glare at them, her demon aura growing.
When Hunny saw the twins shove Haruhi in the car, it was too late for him to act because he had already started to pull away from the school. Instead, he told his driver to follow the car Haruhi had been shoved into. When his chauffer was giving chase, he called Kyoya and told him what was going on and informing him of where he believed the twins were taking Haruhi. He knew without a shadow of a doubt, the Shadow King was going to have their heads. That is if he was able to get to them before Hunny did.
Pulling up to the restaurant a few minutes after the trio of friends, he jumped out of the car and ran into the restaurant. As he entered, he could see Hikaru and Kaoru trying to apologize to Haruhi as she was putting the phone up to her ear. His phone started to ring causing everyone to whip around and look at him, "What the hell do you two think you are doing?" The twins backed away from his glare as he advanced. Hikaru was in his direct line of sight though and thus was going to be his first victim.
Yasu got the message and although he knew it was probably a trap, he couldn't pass up the opportunity to rescue Haruhi from her captors. As he pulled up to the campus in a taxi, he saw two of his prey pushing her into a car and he decided to follow. When he noticed the other car pull in front of his taxi and start following the twins' car, he knew it was another one of the hosts. It was perfect really; he didn't have to do anything because they were gathering together in one place. This was going to be easier than he thought. He would get to kill a couple hosts to enact his revenge, and he would get Haruhi in one fell swoop.
"Well, it looks like everyone is stopping for lunch. Too bad their appetite is about to be ruined," Yasu murmured under his breath at the taxi pulled over to the curb, "Wait for me. I will be back in a couple of minutes. Don't worry; I will make it worth your while. I just have to pick up my girlfriend." He flashed the driver some money and quickly had the driver's agreement that he would wait for Yasu and his girlfriend. Yasu exited the car and walked into the restaurant to find Haruhi standing to the side and a blonde man advancing on the twins of the Host Club.
Pulling out his two guns, Yasu sneered, "I guess patience really is a virtue and will be rewarded."
Hikaru and Kaoru looked up at the sound of a stranger's voice. Haruhi and Hunny spun around knowing whose voice it was. They all saw Yasu pointing two guns at them. Hunny and Hikaru both had the same thought, to get to Haruhi and protect her.
"You don't want to do that. She is coming with me. You have kept us apart long enough. I was all set to pick her up at school today, but it appears that other people had plans for her. I guess it is my lucky day. Let me guess, the campus was a trap?" He laughed, "Well I guess it is a good thing I followed all of you here. Now I can pay you back for taking her away from me, and I can get her without any further interference from you."
Shaking from head to toe, Haruhi was frozen in horror. She was utterly terrified and unable to do anything but stare at her nightmare come to life while holding two guns, one of them pointed at her boyfriend. Her voice was caught in her throat and she could squeeze anything out of it. She was barely breathing. Is this how it was all going to end? She would rather die than to let Yasu hurt her friends or allow him to take her.
The next couple of minutes seemed to go in slow motion for everyone. Haruhi forced herself to move and tried to tackle Yasu. The triggers on both guns were squeezed. Hunny grabbed his left shoulder and went down to the ground, while Hikaru flew backwards and landed on his back. Blood was oozing out of both of them. Screaming, Haruhi tried to scramble up and reach Hunny, but Yasu was quicker and grabbed her pulling her out of the restaurant and into the waiting car.
"Drive and make it fast!" Yasu ordered the driver and soon H-Chan was only a speck in the back window.
Haruhi was crying and screaming, trying to fight Yasu so that she could get away, but it was no use. She begged and pleaded, but he did nothing more than shove a gun in her side. She tried to get the driver to pull over, but he wasn't listening to her.
"I am making an exception for you right now. I understand you are brainwashed by them, but you will not disrespect me and you will do everything I tell you to. Do you understand me? I have taken care of two of those no good ex friends of yours, and I will take care of the others. Do you want to join them?" Yasu spoke low and in her ear so that only she could hear.
Nodding, Haruhi glared at him with tears running down her cheeks, "Yes. I would rather die than to deal with you."
"That can be arranged, but first you are going to have to beg for it."
Kyoya and his men were on the way, but they were several minutes behind everyone else. He knew a couple of things: Haruhi better be safe and he was going to kill the twins. When he finally got to the restaurant, Kaoru was trying to get Hikaru's wound to stop bleeding. He had a faint pulse, but it appeared he had lost a lot of blood. The paramedics were on their way.
Hunny was clutching his bleeding shoulder and looked up at Kyoya, "He got her." He stood up and walked up to his bespectacled friend, "We have to find her."
"We will Hunny. She has the tracking chip in her; we will find her," Kyoya was cut off by the arrival of the paramedics. Hunny tried to refuse going with them, but Kyoya was firm in making him go in order to get checked out.
"Hunny, you can't help Haruhi like that. She needs you to be ok if you are going to help rescue her. After you get checked out, we will get her. I am already having my men start the tracking program."
Nodding, Hunny got into the back of the waiting ambulance, "Be ready for me when I am done at the hospital, unless your men can get to him first." During the argument, one of the ambulances had already left with the twins. No one was sure if Hikaru was going to make it.
"I will Hunny," Kyoya told his senior as the doors closed and Hunny was gone from sight. This was not how the plan was supposed to happen. Haruhi was not supposed to be taken by the twins or kidnapped by Yasu; and no one was supposed to be shot. Now two of his friends had bullet wounds and Haruhi was missing. Punching the wall, Kyoya shook his now bleeding hand and got into his car. He would not fail again.
