Hey Rate and Review please! This story really means a lot to me and is dedicated to my sister Anna, my mentor Marie, my old friend Elli, a newer friend Jeztabel, and anyone else who has suffered through this or has been the rock and support for someone diagnosed with a serious illness. This story will have chapter and I'm going to update as often as I can.

There are only a few moments in time where everyone around you is silent. That moment when a woman finds out she is pregnant. The next when the woman and her husband find out they are having not just one child but twins. Then when the children are born and there is pure joy and happiness in the air. But this occurred after all of those happy times and in fact there was nothing happy about it.

Since we were born my big brother and I had been absolutely inseparable. In a way we helped raise each other, since our famous fashion designer mom was gone a lot and dad always went with her. I can't quiet explain the relationship between Hikaru and I, but I love my brother unconditionally. But he keeps worrying me with how much he has been getting sick lately.

"Oh yeah, umm hey Kyouya. I'm sorry for having to miss again but Hikaru came down with something."

"Kaoru, you do understand how much profit we have lost this month. Perhaps if your brother is really not feeling that well you should bring him over to my house tomorrow and I can have my doctors take a look at him."

"I might just do that… And sorry I promise I will make it up to the club somehow." I sighed looking over to my brother who was currently lying on our shared bed asleep.

"Understood." I could hear him writing something through the speaker. "See you both tomorrow."

"Yeah bye." I said closing my cell and sitting on the bed by my big brother. He had kicked the covers off so I reached down to pick them off when I felt how bad his skin was burning up. I pulled my hand back and ran into the bathroom coming back with a cold towel and placing it on his head. "Hika… Hey Hika wake up. Hika… Hikaru come on you are burning up…" I tried with concern clearly laced in my voice. I watched my reflection whine and curl up in a ball holding his leg.

"Kao my leg… It still hurts…" I turned my attention away from his pained face and noticed that his shin was still swollen, even after two days. In fact it looked worse. "Is it bad?" He asked, wincing a little as he tried to look down. I quickly covered it with the sheet and dabbed his face with the wash cloth to distract him.

"No… Of course not. It's just a bad bruise." I lied putting on my best smile. Hikaru knew better though but was apparently too tired to argue by the look he gave me. "Umm, I did call Kyouya however and he said that I should bring you in to get checked out tomorrow. So let's plan on that alright? Do you want anything else right now?" I handed him some meds to help with the fever and the bottle of water that I had been trying to give him all day. He took the pills and put two in his mouth but I had to help him sit up to drink the water.

"Ice chips?" He asked with a little cough, neither of us liked taking any sort of medication but I had to insist that he take something since he had been so weak lately. I nodded at his request and kissed his burning forehead.

"Of course. I'll be right back." I smiled taking sole responsibility for caring for my brother. It was kind of our unspoken rule that when one of us was sick we would only rely on the maids to make food and do the laundry. We took care of each other and stayed inside our own little world. I headed downstairs filled a glass with ice and by the time I made it back to the room the red-haired boy was passed out asleep again. I sighed quietly so I wouldn't wake him and carefully set the glass on the night stand. "Hikaru… Please get better soon." I whispered kissing his head and taking my spot on the floor with my blanket and pillow.

Next day

The next morning I woke up early enough to call us out from school before giving the shadow king a call. I walked into the bathroom so I wouldn't disturb Hikaru's still sleeping form. "Hey he still isn't getting any better. When can I bring him over?"

"Anytime is fine. My father had me take the day out of my studies to discuss a business proposition with him and my brothers and my doctors are on call so they will be here whenever you two can make it."

"Okay I will try to get him over as soon as possible. Hey Kyouya… Thanks again." I added before hearing my brother yell from the other room. I hung up and ran in to see what was wrong when I saw my brother looking at his now black and blue shin. The bruise had spread and now covered half of his shin from his ankle up.

"Kao! What is this?! You said it wasn't bad!" He yelled at me clearly in pain and still sweating out the fever.

"I-I'm sorry! It wasn't like that last night…" I defended afraid of my brother being angry as well as not knowing how to help him; he was always the stronger one. Worry filled my mind and I got back on the phone. "Kyouya please Hikaru is getting worse and I don't know if I can get him over there!" I yelled watching my big brother clutching his leg barely able to sit up. I heard the raven-haired boy speak to someone else on the other end.

"I'll be right there. Try to keep both of you calm." And with that I had to be the stronger brother so I climbed into bed and held my twin as close as I could.
