Okay, first ever Ouran High School fanfiction...I hope I haven't completely killed it...

Summary: Kaoru has been gone for months, and everyone has learnt to accept that...except Hikaru. When Hikaru claims he's seeing Kaoru...has he just gone insane from grief...? Or is there something more going on?


It had happened in a flash.

His eyes clenched shut as he tried to block out the memories, the memories of that night from his mind and he laid his head against the pillow that just was not soft enough to make him fall asleep. His fists began to clench as well as flashes of light appeared in his mind even though he tried so hard not to think of them.

It seemed, as though that the more he tried not to think of it, the more he could see them.

He twisted in his sleep, covers trapping him.

Now the pillow was too soft.

He let out a small whimper as he stared out at the empty space next to him.

It used to be…

It used to be that whenever he could not sleep, that familiar body, the exact replica of him would crawl up into his bed and stay with him until he fell asleep…

And he would normally wake up completely rested and happy, and he would smile at the younger boy who would be sleeping in such an awkward and uncomfortably position.

But that was impossible now…

It just would not happen…

Hikaru fisted his covers in his hands as he ducked his head, trying to hide the tears that threatened to show in his eyes again.

Because he was gone.

Gone forever.

Hikaru stopped trying.

He buried his head in his arms and tears flowed freely from his eyes.

Choking sobs overtook him and for once, he did not even bother to muffle the noise that escaped his lips, not caring if anyone else heard, not caring anymore.

Because what did it matter if Kaoru was gone?

What mattered anymore?

Hikaru sat, tangled in the sheets in the bed, and he cried…

Cried for his other half who would never, ever show up again…

He cried and he cried and he cried.

There was nothing else he could do.

The pain in his heart, the pain that seemed to pierce his soul…it never stopped…

And Hikaru was left with only his tears and his memories of Kaoru as his companion…


Please review and tell me if I should stop writing ouran high school fanfiction or not...
