Disclaimer: I disclaim. 'nuff said :))

Note: Hikaru in bold. Kaoru in italic. BTW, this is like a mind reading conversation thingy between them. Just try to go along. You'll see why near the end. C'=


Hajime Kara

(From the Start)

Hikaru!

No response.

Hi – ka – ruuuu!

Shut up, leave me alone. And get your feet off my face.

Silence.

Sorry, what did you want?

More silence.

Aw, come on, I said I was sorry.

You're mean.

But you're okay with that.

Still, you go overboard sometimes.

I said I was sorry!

Okay…

What did you want to tell me?

N – nothing, Hikaru.

Why do you call me that, anyway?

Call you what?

That name -- Hikaru. Why am I Hikaru?

But that's what mom calls us. "My darlings, Hikaru and Kaoru."

Well, what if I want to be Kaoru?

No! No! No! You're Hikaru. I'm Kaoru.

Can't I even choose my name?

But– …. I guess you're right. They won't even know which one of us is which. Maybe when we get out I'll be Hikaru and you'll be Kaoru.

Hey, I'm really sorry.

It's OK. Don't mind it anymore.

Silence.

Come over here.

Can't move. Too little space.

You could move perfectly a while ago, liar. Come on, get over here.

Shifting of bodies.

Hikaru, I think I kicked mom. Hard.

Don't worry about her. Is this better?

Mmm.

Snuggles.

What did you want to tell me earlier?

I'm … I'm scared Hikaru… of what's out there.

Don't worry I'm here.

But what if -- what if they won't know which of us is which?

Silly, Kaoru. I will know. You will know.

Holds hand.

Don't be scared, Kaoru. We'll always be together.

Promise?

Promise. We'll be together like we have always been – from the very start.



A/N:

This just came to mind while I was reviewing obstetrical nursing -- even while studying I think of the Hitachiins (¬,¬; ) I thought it was sweet ^0^; even though highly improbable: fetuses having a mental conversation ='D

Review to show your love. i love you too.
