Yoru's POV
_______________

. . . "Hi, is this Mrs. Hitachiin?" . . . "Have something... precious to you." . . . "Do as I say." . . . 

Ugh where am I? What the hell happened... I thought I was at the bar with Nathan and Jess. Did I really pass out? I don't even remember drinking anything... Eh? Are my hands tied up? And feet?

I slowly wake up, my eyes still blurry from sleep as I open them. I go to rub them, but they're stuck behind my back. What's this? Am I tied up?  There's something in my mouth too, preventing me from talking. Slowly beginning to panic, I jerk in the chair that i'm tied too, and notice the person in the room.

"Ah your daughter is awake Yuzuha." The lady says and I look at her. She has a small frame, with shiny black hair and dark sapphire eyes. 

"Mmph?!" I try to speak but it's all muffled. Trying to calm myself, I look around the room. This place seems so familiar... Oh!  It's the theatre that Takashi took me too, on Kouachi Avenue! There's red velvet theatre seats and the huge projector screen is black. The lights are dimmed quite low, and I can't really see my kidnapper very well, besides the shine of her hair and eyes.

"Yes, if you want your daughter safe and sound, I'll be needing a big loan from the Hitachiin's savings." The girl says, pacing up and down an aisle.

I begin to move my hands. This lady sure did tie them tight, although it's just rope, it's very scratchy and I can feel it digging into my skin. While figuring out a way to untie my hands, I work on the rope in my mouth, trying to push it out of my mouth.

"Maria if you touch my sister I will find you and cram that red button down your throat!" Kaoru's voice sounds from the phone, and this gives me encouragement. I feel sweat drip down my hands, but I honestly think it's blood. Bending my hand, I grab the end of a rope and yank it hard, bending my hand again into a very uncomfortable and painful position, but i'm able to loosen it. I some how slip my hands out of the ropes and quickly undo the ones around my legs before pulling the one from my mouth.

"Kaoru! I'm at the movie theatre on Kouachi Ave! Hurry!" I shout loudly, and Maria looks over at me, a shocked and angry expression on her face.  

"Why you-!" She shouts as she advances towards me. A glare on my face, I charge at her and tackle her to the ground, the phone flying out of her hand.

"Maria? Yoru? What's going on there!" I hear voices shout. "We're on our way now! Stay there!" Psh like i'm going anywhere. Maria and I bitch fight, rolling around on the ground for a bit before i'm able to firmly pin her to the floor, the both of us panting. 

"You're supposed to be a weak little girl!" Maria shouts, struggling against me as some of my blood drips onto her wrists. 

"Yea, well. Living on a farm for 10 years pays off, doesn't it?" I ask, getting off of Maria and hoisting her to her feet. I push her into a chair and begin to tie her up, blowing some hair out of my face. "This is what happens when you mess with a Hitachiin." 

"YORU!" Multiple voices shout and I look over to the doors while putting a rope around Maria's mouth. Takashi, Mitsukuni, Hikaru, and Kaoru rushed in all at once, frantically looking around until their eyes landed on me.

"Yoru oh my gosh are you okay?!" Hikaru shouts, running over to me as I secure the last knot. 

"Yea i'm okay." I say quietly, rubbing my wrists.

"You're bleeding, here let me help you-"

"Get out of the way Hikaru!" Kaoru says sternly, pushing my oldest brother out of the way as Takashi , Mitsukuni, and Kaoru surround me. As all of them begin to fuss over me, Takashi noticed my uneasiness and envelops me in his arms, hugging me to him.

"Enough."

"Th-thanks Takashi.." I mutter, looking at Mitsukuni, Hikaru, and Kaoru. After a moment of silent, I notice Hikaru's eyes fall and he begins to walk towards the door. "Hikaru wait.." I say, pulling away from Takashi and going over to him, I hug him from behind. "I know you were only trying to protect me, and I thank you. I forgive you too. For everything." I murmur against his back, gripping his shirt as I hug him.

I feel his chest convulse slightly as he shakes. As a sob escapes from him, he turns around and hugs me tightly. "I'm so sorry Yoru, I promise i'll never hurt you again I swear!"

"Yo-Chan, Takashi and I are sorry too, for fighting these past couple of weeks. We didn't mean to upset you." Mitsukuni says, his voice saddened. "I just really wished you would have feelings for me.."

Hikaru let's go of me and I crouch down to face Mitsukuni. "I do, Mitsukuni. Just not in the way you wish. You're like family to me, the best family I could have." I smile softly and I see tears come to his eyes. I hug him to me tightly and his lips place themselves on my cheek.

"I'll always be here for you too, don't forget that okay?" Mitsukuni murmurs before squeezing me and then letting go. As I stand back up, blushing, a bunch of Ootori Police rush in, going to Maria.

"Nice knot work by the way sis." Kaoru says, winking to me as he looks at Maria. 

"Yes I must say, it's quite exceptional." Kyoya says, and I look up at him. He smiles down at me and pats my head. "Glad to see that you're safe Yoru." He says, bending over slightly to kiss the top of my head, making me blush more.

Then Tamaki comes in, twirling me around and talking nonstop about my safety and everything. Haruhi says she's glad that i'm safe and mother hugs me tightly, apologizing for what happened. Everything is so hectic, and I slowly realize that i'm exhausted. 

"Let's head home Yoru." Takashi says quietly, placing a hand on my shoulder. I look up at him, my interview with an officer just ending.

"Okay.. let's go home." I smile up at him sleepily and he bends down, kissing me firmly, our lips meeting like two puzzle pieces. He then picks me up and starts to walk out, heading to the limo along with the rest of our friends.

I think this will be the last time I get kidnapped... I smile to myself as I slowly fall asleep in Takashi's arms.
