Chapter Twelve
Iwa was discharged from the hospital that evening which meant that it was too dark to help with the search for Kawa, however he decided that he most definitely would be there the following morning.
He arrived bright and early along with his and Oikawa's father. The boy couldn't believe what he was seeing when he reached the command centre. His eyes widened in shock as he took in the sight of thousands of people standing there, waiting for directions to start the search for Kawa, his Kawa.
Everything went deathly quiet as people turned and noticed the three men standing there. He could see the pity in their eyes and as he, his father and Kawa's father walked through the crowd he felt them touch his back or his shoulder and offer words of support, 'we'll find him Iwa', 'we're not gonna stop until we do'.
By the time they reached the front of the crowd the boy was a mess. He sobbed quietly as he was pulled into an embrace, it was his team mates, all of them like him, in various stages of distress. The boy clung onto them like his very existence depended on it. Which in all reality it did.
He was brought back from his trance by a deep voice, "Hajime. I'm so glad that you have recovered". It was Detective Sawamura, "thank you Sir" he replied. His gaze was taken away from the man to rest on the person behind the officer. It was Kaito. Iwa felt, at that moment, like his blood was boiling and white hot burning rage began to build and without another thought he charged at his cousin.
It was like Iwa had tunnel vision, everything else around him blurred and disappeared, all he saw was the object of his hate in front of him and before anyone could stop him he had Kaito on the floor. Punching him and screaming obscenities in his face. He felt multiple strong hands pulling him off the boy and then holding him tight until his rage abated.
After he had calmed down he was taken into the police trailer. "I know that you're upset Hajime but what was the meaning of that ?" Detective Sawamura asked. The boy looked at him and began to speak, "the night Tooru went missing I was goaded into verbally attacking him by that piece of shit. I was told that if I didn't he would make everyone aware of the fact that I'm gay, including my father, who he said would disown me. He said some really disgusting things. So now you know why I was too ashamed to tell you what happened, what I did".
The officer looked at him with a sad smile and replied, " I had the misfortune of interviewing your cousin and he said some really despicable things to me including, 'gay people should be drowned at birth but unfortunately there are alot of 'Kaito's' in this world who just don't understand that you can't help who you fall in love with". Iwa then iterrupted him by uttering "he's gay". "Who is, Tooru?" the Detective asked. "No. Kaito is". Detective Sawamura looked at the boy in utter shock but before he could continue he was informed that the television camera's had arrived and they wanted to put Iwa and Oikawa's father on air to ask for hel in finding the missing boy.
Five minutes later the two men were miked up and were stood in front of the camera. The reporter nodded at Oikawa Daisuke, "would you like to say anything to the people who may have your son" he asked the boys father. The man swallowed hard and began, "If you have Tooru, please don't hurt him. Release him and I promise that I will do everything in my power to furnish you with whatever you want. Please give him back un harmed. If not for me please think of his mother, I beg of you"
The reporter then turned towards Iwa and asked, "would you like to say anything to Tooru, on the off chance that he can hear you". By this point the spikey haired boy had tears streaming down his face, he looked haunted. "Tooru. I'm so sorry for what I did and said to you, I didn't mean any of it. I love you with all of my being and I will look for you to the ends of the earth if I need to, so please hold on, wait for me. Please don't give up"
A few miles away two men were watching the interviews laughing at the beaten, bloodied and restrained figure lying on the floor in the corner of the room "Iwa chan" he whispered through his tears, "I love you too".
