Warnings: This IS a Takouji fanfic. Do not flame me if you don't like it, for it's not my problem if you chose to read it after I have warned you. As for the flaming goes. I think only positives and ideas should really be said in the review section. I'm not putting my stories up to be insulted. I believe other authors would agree…

But finding a way into Kouji's heart is harder then it looks, as Kanbara Takuya quickly finds out.

Chapter one The Heart Locked Away in Sorrow

Kouji Minamoto's alarm clock goes off at 4:45 a.m. He slowly extends his arm almost automatically and hits the snooze button as he always has. Today was going to be like every other. The snooze alarm goes off five minutes later as Kouji lets out a small grunt of annoyance. "Stupid alarm clock." He murmurs into his pillow as he slowly pries himself from his bed. "My parents should be home today" Kouji whispers to himself as he slowly balances himself onto his bedroom floor, stiffening slightly to how unnaturally cold it was.

He looks at his clock and sighs, finally shutting off the snooze alarm. "Why do they put those on there, anyway?" He scans the room with his blue eyes figuring out the schedule for the day. Kouji makes his way to his dresser and pulls out his clothes he planned to wear today. He then makes his way to the shower, turning the water on to the usual temperature automatically, remembering how much to turn each one.

After his shower he put on a simple yellow t-shirt and a pair of tight black jeans. He left his hair down, since he didn't want to waste 15 minutes fixing it. He bushes it through once then walks into the kitchen.

Breakfast was just about the same as his shower. He poured his cereal into his bowl and the milk soon followed. He eats it slowly as he re-reads the contents of the cereal over and over again.

Everything was automatic, moving almost emotionlessly through the days. Now he wasn't always like this. He was quite human at one point in time. But as easy as it is to find someone to share your emotions with, it is as easy to have your heart broken by that same someone. Kouji had learnt this the hard way. His first lover pretty much tore his heart from him. His friends lied to him time and time again, not to mention back stabbed him. Everything was crashing around him and the only way to stop his emotions from getting hurt again; he had to shut them away from everyone.

School was about as automatic as home. The conversations with his 'friends' were the same, long and boring, not like he was able to say anything anyway. His responses were the same, consisting of mainly nods and the simple word, 'Yes'.

He slowly makes his way down the long hallways of the school, dodging students as they walk by him. He slowly finds his way to his math class and locates his seat. "Another long day…" He whispers to himself, looking out the window. But little did he know, that today was the day that will change his life, forever.

The day went by as usual as it normally does until fifth period. Kouji walks into his English class only to be stopped by the teacher. "Um… Is something wrong?" Kouji asks wondering why his teacher stopped him.

"Your counselor wants to see you. They told me when the five-minute bell rang. I was told to send you down as soon as you came in." She says quietly to him.

"What I do?" Kouji asks before even thinking. "I mean… Oh never mind." He states sternly before turning around and walking all the way to the counselor's office. "I wonder what I did to have to go to the office." He grumbles to himself, not to happy that the school administrative ruined his daily schedule.

He reaches the Counselor's office and walks to the desk. "Excuse me. My English teacher told me to come." He states in a tone that made it sound like he was in court.

"Minamoto Kouji. Go down to that door please." The woman at the desk states as she points down to a door in the office. This wasn't exactly what Kouji had in mind. He's never actually been to the counselor's office before.

He does as told and knocks on the door. Some old man opens it and invites Kouji in with a simple hand gesture. "Please, sit down… I have something I need to tell you." He says grimly, telling Kouji that it's something important. So he does as told but doesn't say a word. "We got a call from the hospital today when they couldn't reach your house. It appears that your parents were in a plane crash at 12:57. They told us that they have passed away. We got in contact with Social Services and they say that you will now be staying with you mother in Shinjuku. I'm really sorry." He finishes as he turns to look at Kouji.

Kouji was really at a loss for words. He knew at that point that his life was soon to be changed possibly for the worse.

The next week was complete hell. He moved into the Kimura residence and went to his parent's funeral. He will now be attending the school in Shinjuku with his twin brother Kouichi. He really didn't know much about him, but he wasn't too sure on if they will get along or not. He really hasn't been around Kouichi since their parents divorced when they were really young. Kouichi always wore a welcoming warm smile that at least calmed him down a little.

Kouji sat quietly on his bed in his new small bedroom, everything, well mostly everything, was unpacked and in some weird working order. Kouichi walks in, smiling the same warm smile. "Hey, Kouji. Mother and I are going to go shopping. Do you want to come?" He says, his voice kind and gentle.

"No thank you." Kouji says in monotone. Kouichi frowns slightly but nods understandingly to his younger twin brother's response.

"That's okay. You should probably get some rest. You've had a long week, and not to mention a long day ahead of you tomorrow." Kouichi says as a smile once again crosses his face. "I think you'll enjoy it here." He walks out after that.

"A long day, I agree… Though I'm not looking forward to this change… Just more prying people to harass and annoy me…" He murmurs to himself as he lays down onto his bed and closes his eyes and falls under the spell of sleep.

Kouji slowly opens his eyes after feeling a warm ray of sun hit his face, signifying its way pass the time he normally wakes up. He literally jolts to the corner of his bed when he opens his eyes to see two similar blue eyes staring at him only a foot away from him. His brother begins to laugh softly after he jolts.

"Sorry to scare you, Kouji. I was going to wake you up, but the sun beat me to it." He says between his little giggle fit. "You slept right through your alarm. It went off at 4:45 this morning. Mother shut it off. She thought you could use the extra-rest. You aren't mad are you?"

"Not really… Just… Don't do that anymore. You scared the hell out of me." Kouji says in an angry voice, completely contradicting what he said. "Can you… like get out so I can change?" He whispers again, not to sure what to do.

"Oh! I suppose that would help. Mother is making breakfast. She should be done in a few minutes." He smiles brightly then walks out of the room, shutting the door behind him.

"I already hate it here…" Kouji says as he sighs. He quickly changes and puts his hair up then goes out to eat his breakfast; which was nicely made for him. He seats himself at the table and looks down at the fluffy pancakes. "It looks delicious." He says, trying not to offend his mother.

"Thank you." She says, smiling softly to her son. "Did you sleep well, Kouji?" She asks.

"Yes, thank you." He replies before sticking a small piece of the pancake into his mouth.

His mother just watches and sighs slightly. "If you're not hungry, Kouji, don't force yourself to eat. It's all right to say you aren't hungry here. I would understand if it's because of the change of environments." She says as she joins Kouji and Kouichi at the table.

Kouji quickly looks up at her, not to sure what to say to that. "I'm sorry… I'm just… really not looking forward to a new school… I guess it caused me to loose my appetite. But really… It's good."

"It's all right, Kouji. I'll be going there too. So you won't be going without knowing at least someone." Kouichi states, once again smiling happily. "I'm really excited about having a sibling in the same school as me."

"I see" was all Kouji could say.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

Kouji and Kouichi reach the school and Kouichi happily drags Kouji into the building. He makes his way to his friends to introduce his brother to his friends.

"HEY! KOUICHI!!" A voice shouts from a bench in the hallways. Kouji looks up to see where the voice came from and sees three people sitting on bench near one of the classes waving. Kouichi complies by dragging Kouji all the way to them.

"Hi everyone." He states happily as he talks. The girl looks at Kouji and smiles. One of the boys does the same. The other just stood in awe at the new vision before him.

"Hello. My name is Orimoto Izumi. It's a pleasure to meet you." The girl named Izumi states as she welcomes him with a warm smile.

The boy who smiled as well stands up and extends his hand, Kouji automatically takes it as the boy shakes it then lets go. "My name is Shibayama Junpei." He looks at Takuya and blinks. "Eh. Tacky, introduce yourself." Junpei whispers loudly, waving his hand in front of his mesmerized friend. "You'll have to forgive him… This is Kanbara Takuya."

Kouichi smiles then looks at Kouji expectantly. Kouji looked at him confused at first then realized why he was being stared at. "Oh! Um… I'm Minamoto Kouji…" He states quietly, nervous at the fact he was actually talking to people he didn't know.

"These three are my closest friends. They are really nice and I think you'll like them! Okay you guys. Please try to make my brother feel welcomed." Kouichi states, still smiling, as if one person can smile enough.

"Kouichi! You never told me you had a cute brother!" Takuya says finally after spending a while staring in awe. They all kind of look at Takuya then to Kouji, not to sure what were going to happen next.

Kouji was quite shocked at Takuya's openness of feelings. He remembered that he use to be like that and how him being so opened ruined his life. "Thanks?" He whispers right as the bells ring to what was going to be a rather long and hard day.

All right every one, there's chapter one. I have to admit it almost turned into a KouKou there in the middle of this chapter. I guess that pairing could be plausible in this story.

Please tell me what you think and if you have any ideas, I'd like to hear them. Thank you. R&R.
