Chapter One – Lingering Obsession

Hikaru's P.O.V.

I remember that day perfectly. It was a bright and warm afternoon in that park near out house. Mother was off working and father….father was wherever. We were sitting under that cherry tree, which was blooming pink blossoms, and we were talking. I think we were having fun. I'm not sure. But then, she just had to interrupt…

We were probably twelve or something. The blossoms fell down on us, and we were laughing because of that. Then, several pink petals found their way on top of your head. I started to laugh and you gave a questioning look.

"Hikaruuuuu. Why are you laughing at me?" You whined to me. I laughed happily and swiped the petal off of your head.

"Because you were turning into a cherry tree. If I left them there, someone would've cut my cherry tree down." I smiled and blew the petals into your face. You gave me a warm smile and started to blush.

"Kaoru, you know you're blushing?" I asked you.

"Hikaru…do you like anyone?" You stuttered out. Why were you asking me that?

"I dunno. Do you?" I asked dumbly.

"Ye-e-es. It's y-y-ou." You mumbled out. Me? Why?

"Well, Kao-ru, I like you too." You brightened up and rushed into a big bear hug. Hugging you back, I heard someone walk up. We looked up and saw a short turquoise girl staring at us.

"Aren't you two twins?" She bumped into our conversation. My eyes hardened and you nodded slowly.

"And you two like each other?! Ick. How disgusting! What are your names anyway?" She just kept asking questions. "What school do you go too?"

"Our names are Hikaru and Kaoru. We go to Naruo (1) elementary. Why?" I asked coldly.

"Naruo?! Really?! I go there too!" The girl said, ignoring what I said. "My name is Arisa." We looked at each other and then I stood up.

Picking up my bags, I held my hand to you. You grabbed it and I pulled you up. We started to walk away but we heard her talk again.

"Hey! Where are you going?!" She asked us. We didn't reply but then tensed up when we heard her say my name.

"Hikaru. See you at school." She yelled to me. What about Kaoru? We walked home, hand in hand. Your hands were warm, dry, perfect.

Normal P.O.V.

And on that day...an obsession was created. 'He shouldn't have to endure the embarrassment of being loved by his own brother. How can he deal with that kind of love? I know! I'll make it right. I'll be his savior.' Arisa wants to save him. She wants to show him her love. Her lingering obsession.

--

"Kyaaa! Their brotherly love is so beautiful!!!" gaped a first-year girl. Others nodded in agreement. There they were. Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin, which were twins of course, were laying on the floor. Kaoru's back to the floor, with his older brother on top of him. His brother had found someway to be on top of him.

"Ne, I'm sorry about that Kaoru. Did I hurt you when I fell on you?" The older one asked his younger brother.

"Of course not, Hikaru." Kaoru replied. They were acting. Like always. Ever since they were in the Host Club, their act was that 'brotherly love' of some sort. Their customers loved it. They didn't know why, but they went on with it. Hikaru stood up, pulling Kaoru along with him. Embracing him in his arms, Hikaru loved hugging his brother. And once again, several girls fainted and some blushed like crazy. Haruhi, who was nearby watching, shook her head but was smiling. Kaoru smiled into Hikaru's chest. He as so used to his feeling now.

Suddenly, the door opened and a woman in a violet dress sauntered in. It was the twins' mother. Her slender face was flushed and she was carrying a cup. The cup was already empty, but the twins' mother placed the cup to her lips, clearly trying to drink.

"Mother!" The twins said in unison. "What're you doing here?" They weren't hugging anymore. If their mother saw that, she would instantly know that hug wasn't brotherly…more like lovingly. Something like that. Something that showed that they were way more than just brothers.

"Why, children, what were you doing?" She asked the boys. "Oh oh! Don't answer that. I'm here to talk to you two." The customers, including the other Host members, were all staring at her. An adult never would've acted like that. Only if they were drunk or twisted.

"Why? Wait…are you drunk?" Kaoru asked her.

"Oh ho ho. Of course not! Now, let's ditch this place, Haoru, Kikaru." Their mother accidentally said their names wrong. She was definitely drunk. Grabbing their arms, the tall slender woman walked out, or more like ran out. Silence.

"What…was that?" Haruhi broke the silence.

The family arrived in front of an Italian restaurant. Practically skipping in, the twins' mother told the hostess a table for three. At first she said, four, then, five, but finally she recounted everyone's heads and said three. A shocked hostess, who had familiar turquoise hair, showed their way to a table.

"Please have a seat. And here are your menus." She gave them to only their mother and Hikaru. Holding the one left, she smiled at Hikaru and walked away.

"She didn't give me a menu." Kaoru said blankly.

"Well-" Hikaru started but then stopped when they heard a crash. The twins looked at their mom, and found her on the floor, rubbing her head.

"Augh. I think I'm going to be sick." Their mother gagged and quickly ran to the women's bathroom.

"Anyway, you can look at mine." Hikaru said to his brother.

"Excuse me, but if I am not wrong, you are Hitachiin Hikaru, right?" a voice popped out of nowhere. Red hair jostled up, and there was their waitress. That familiar…turquoise hair burned into Kaoru's brain.

"Yes…Why? Do we know you?" Hikaru replied slowly.

"You don't remember me? Three years ago…I met you. My name is Kadochi Arisa," She smiled to them.

"Oh…yes. You, Arisa. Nice to see you again," Kaoru faked a smile. "Oh yes. Let's order our food." Kaoru smiled once again after changing the subject. Green eyes locked onto Kaoru's amber-brown eyes. Green versus amber. The twins ordered their food and also ordered something for their mother.

Arisa put on a fake smile and said, "Okay, got it. Uhh…What is you name again? I have seemed to have forgotten." Now Hikaru's head was looking and Kaoru's head then to Arisa's. It was like reading one of those shoujo/drama mangas. There was a girl, who likes this boy. But there was another girl who likes the same boy. But this time, it seemed like a girl like a boy and the boy's twin likes him. Now that would have been a good manga.

"Hitachiin Kaoru. Hikaru's twin," And with that word, twin, Kaoru wrapped his arms around Hikaru. Hikaru was at first shocked, but quickly warmed up to the hug. Clearly, their act was still going on.

"I will save you Hikaru," Those words popped out of Arisa's mouth and into the twins' ears. Why does she want to save Hikaru? And…from what? After Arisa left, the twins' mother popped out of nowhere. Their mother, Reira, plopped back down on the bench and wiped her mouth with her handkerchief. The twins stared and her and, of course, she stared right back.

"Why are you two hugging like that?" She went straight to the point.

"No reason!" Pulling apart, Kaoru started to long for his brother's warm hugs. They soon gained their posture. Now wondering why his mother is drinking, Kaoru poked his mother gently.

Abruptly turning to her youngest son, she said, "Yes, Hikaru?" There she goes again, saying to wrong name. The twins shook their heads, embarrassed that their mother was acting like that. Why was she drinking? She usually drank only when something bad happened.

She looked back at Kaoru, and then noticed who he really was. "Oh dear, I'm sorry, honey. This alcohol is getting to me…" Reira said sheepishly. "Now, is there something you need to ask?"

"Mother…why are you drinking, anyway?" Hikaru asked instead of Kaoru. Hikaru gave his twin a smile. Twins. One always knows what the other is thinking. Reira looked away, not sure how to answer.

"What I am going to say right this moment will shock you so much." Reira seemed more sober now. "Hikaru, Kaoru, you father has…."
