The Perfect Prince isn't so Perfect. ((Ouran High School Host Club))

Chapter 24: Where's Mori?

My phone began to ring in the middle of the night, it was unidentified number. "Hello?" I asked, "hello Miss Kiumori. You might be interested in who we have here." I heard a man say, my breath caught. "Why not say hello Morinozuka?" The voice said faintly. "Hana, don't worry, I'll be fine!" He yelled and I heard him get punched in the gut. "He'll die in exactly 12 hours," I began to cry, "let me guess, you want me to take his place, how original." I said and I could tell he was smirking. "Why yes, we do. Such a smart girl. If you don't follow the directions I have sent to your phone then we will kill all of your friends. Remember 12 hours." The line went dead. I got the message and the directions. I searched on Google where to go, it was an abandoned warehouse. I typed out and apology letter to all the hosts and I jumped out the window and skidded across the lawn.

Why did I put him through such danger?! I knew it was a bad idea to stay!

~~a few hours earlier with Mori~~

I woke up, I don't remember walking all the way home... I think I vaguely remember two guys. I was tied to a beat up, rusted chair. The ropes rubbed my skin raw as I tried to force them away. "Good to see you're up." Said a shadow, only dim edges of his face were illuminated by an old-fashioned phone. "Let's call that lovely little girl of yours." He said and punched in Hana's number in violently. "hello Miss Kiumori. You might be interested in who we have here." He said and placed the phone near my ear and mouth. "Why not say hello Morinozuka?" He said, I felt him smiling at Hana's shallow breaths on the other line. He was using me as bait to get her here! "Hana, don't worry, I'll be fine!" I yelled before this man hit me with the butt of his gun. I couldn't make out what Hana was saying but he smirked at what she had to say. "Why yes, we do. Such a smart girl. If you don't follow the directions I have sent to your phone then we will kill all of your friends. Remember 12 hours." He said and ended the call. He's not the brightest killer in the world. He basically just sent out a beacon to find him along with the exact directions.

The room flooded with light as the door was kicked down by a small framed girl. My Hana. The lights flickered on and her eyes softened as she saw me basically unharmed. "Good job Hana. You were trained well." Said the man on the intercom now. "Alright, so this is how it will work. You let Takashi Morinozuka go and then you can kill me however way you wish." She said, "there ropes, just cut them." Said a smug voice say. Hana ran to my side and cut the ropes. "No, Hana, get out of here." I said and she looked at me with such sadness in her eyes but she didn't cry, not now when she was being watched by a crazy sadistic man. "Mori, leave." She said, her voice never shook. It was cold and hard, like the dojo floor in the early morning of winter. "Come on, this is me were talking about, he won't lay a finger on me." She said and smiled. He won't have to, he's got a gun! "But... if I don't really return then protect everyone, 'kay?" She said and kissed my cheek. I ran out and called the Host Club.

~~With the Host Club moments before Mori called~~

Tamaki found the note that Hana left and called everyone over.

("Everyone,

You've taught me so much and now I'm no longer afraid. But now I am, the S.O.L group has Mori. So we're going to make a switch off, Mori for me. Please don't come and find me when it's all done for because I don't want you to see such a horrific thing. I love you all.")

"We need to go and get her!" Hikaru said, "but we don't know where they are!" Tamaki said back, "if you guys look, she was going through maps and her phone has the exact directions." Haruhi said and held out Hana's phone. "That's an Otori family warehouse... it hasn't been used in years." Kyoya mumbled and they all jumped at Mori's caller ID ringtone. "Guys Hana saved me but now she's fighting alone. Mitsukuni, I'll need your help." He said and Honey was already out to the car.

When they got there Mori was on the verge of tears, his eyes crazy with worry. Honey's sandals hit the pavement lightly and as he ran it looked like he was just floating. They ran to the door and heard gun shots.

~~back with Hana when Mori left~~

"I suppose your the top dog of that S.O.L group." I said and watched for any sign of movement. "Why yes, you were trained very well." Said the man as he stepped out of a door and into a light. "After all, I did train you." A tall dark haired man stepped into the light, a burn disfigured his face but I recognized him. "What? No hug for your dear old daddy?"

((Well well, what's the story here? Did her father trade his family in for power? What kind of deal did he swing to become leader?))
