I rolled over to silence the ringing of our alarm. The room was now cold and quiet, except for the warmth still sleeping next to me, and the ray of sun shining on that warmth though the window. I sighed and rolled back over to look at my still sleeping older twin brother.
"Hikaru." He twitched but didn't wake up. I blew lightly on the side of his neck. He opened one eye and glared at me.
"I was dreaming."
"I know, but we have school." I got our of bed and got dressed, while Hikaru brushed his hair and his teeth, then we switched.
Today was one of the many days where we go to school and Hikaru got to see Haruhi. I know that he likes Haruhi, she is the first girl to enter our world, I can't blame him. Besides that, why would he ever feel more then just brotherly love for his twin?
Still, I couldn't help feeling for him that way. I had still tricked myself into believing the host club was real. You see, going into this we knew it was just to entertain girls with sick minds. Still I had to let myself actually fall for Hikaru. That's why I treasured, yet hated the host club.
"Kaoru, come on, we're going to be late." Hikaru said, snapping me out of my thought.
I followed him out the door and into the limo. The side was silent but comfortable. I stared at the passing scenery. We got to school and entered our host club act when we stepped out of the limo, at the school's gates.
Hikaru and I waved to onlookers on our way to class. Once there we saw our brown-haired friend waiting for us with a smile. We returned her smile, mine being fake. When I sat to her left I immediately turned my attention on the window. Even the sun seemed to be less bright today. The wind was very still, and even through the brightness it seemed to foreshadow sadness. My attention locked on a little brown and while bird as it flew toward the school. We apparently cleaned the window too well. The bird crashed and I jumped up in horror. I ran out of the crowded class room as the teacher was walking in. I didn't care. The bell rang, and I didn't care. I faintly noticed the shouting of my other half and his love interest. I ran out of the front doors and rounded the scorner to the side of the school.
I ran to the bushes as fast as possible. Sadly, I was too late. The bird lay still. Tears formed in my eyes as I picked it up gingerly and felt for a heartbeat. After so long i put the cute little bird on it's back and tried CPR. I didn't know how to breathe for it, so I left that part out and focused on the compressions.
I could hear Haruhi murmuring behind me as tears silently fell down my face. We didn't know his bird, it was wild, and yet we still grieved for the loss of it.
After awhile the teacher came out to retrieve us and told me to go to the nurse.
I had always wanted to be a bird. They were free, and didn't have a care in the world. Where as I had many things to worry about. I know my worries and feelings are trivial compared to other in this world, but we all have different limits, different feelings.
"Ouch." I rubbed my head, I was spaced out so much that I litterally walked into the door of the nurses office. The nurse came out and shook her head at me. When I told her the story of the bird she put a blanket around my shoulders and gave me a hug.
"I know you care, and you tried but, everything happens for a reason Kaoru." She said.
"Then why am I Hikaru's twin?" I said sadly.
"Well, sometimes things aren't clear about why they happen. But if you two love each other then you shouldn't stand in the way of those feelings." It kind of creeped me out that she knew I liked Hikaru, but her advice made me smile. 'I am going to tell Hikaru when we get home,' I decided. The nurse still told me to lie down and rest for the day.
"Kao, Kaoruu..." I heard Hikaru call me. I smiled but kept my eyes shut. "Kaoru, Kyoya said we could just go straight home today, and I convinced him that Haruhi should come with us." My smile almost faltered.
"Okay, then." I said happily and pulled myself out of the bed. I thanked the nurse and Hikaru pulled me into the hall where Haruhi was waiting.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Haruhi." I said keeping up with the false happiness.
"That's okay Kaoru." She said noticing something but not acting on it. She forgot anyway when Hikaru started to talk to her. They talked the whole way home. I pretended not to mind when Hikaru commented her on her hair and asked my opinion for back up. I knew he didn't really care about my opinion, he just didn't want to leave me out.
We were home early for once. I kind of wished we had stayed for the host club. It was my only release.
I went to make tea while Hikaru and Haruhi sat down. As I put the kettle on the stove I heard my mother's familiar ring tone chime from my pocket. I answered on the third ring, deciding I shouldn't ignore my mom, no matter the problem.
"Hey mom." I said happily. That was the wonderful thing about phones, people never knew when you were upset.
"Kaoru~ How are you and your brother doing?"
"Well I'm good, Hikaru is happy talking to his interest."
"Aww...how sweet. Don't you feel lonely though, Kaoru?"
"Well, we can't be together forever...so how are your fashions doing in Paris?"
"Great! They love my designs! We are actually getting ready to leave for Germany. I thought I should call and check up on you."
"Thanks, mom, oh got to go, the kettle's boiling."
"Okay, bye hon-" I snapped my phone shut and prepared camamile tea with a little sugar and honey in it. I put three glasses on a small serving tray and walked into the living room. What I saw broke my heart. No it didn't just break my heart. Because of my last but of hope, my heart was torn, ripped, and shred into a million pieces then soaked by gasoline and lit on fire. There was no remaining piece of my heart anymore.
"Haruhi, would you be my girlfriend?" He asked leaning towards her.
"Yes." She said meeting my twins lips in the middle.
'No!' I shouted in my head. I dropped the tray I had been carrying and ran thought the den and the office, to the sitting room and out the side door. I ran the long way to our garden. I ran through our maze forgetting the way and coming across several dead ends before I finally came out on the other side. Then I heard Hikaru and Haruhi calling for me. I guessed they were somewhere in the middle of the maze but Hikaru knew the way out. I ran again.
I ran through the small veil of trees to the desolate sidewalk. I could tell the sun was starting to go down already. I took one glance behind me and so far wasn't being followed, but I knew Hikaru was close. The wind whipped my face as I could now pick up speed.
I heard footsteps behind me soon enough and turned a corner on my right, down an ally. I finally started to feel the effects from so much running. My side was cramping and I had to gasp for breath. I slumped against the brick wall of a commoner's dwelling to catch my breath.
Normally I would be concerned about hearing Hiakru, but this time, across from em, a normal build man stepped out of the shadows. He was almost a whole foot taller then me, had blond hair and green eyes. I made sure to study him just in case something happened.
"Are you alright Mr.?" He asked casually with a slight smile. He slowly got closer and I could hear Hikaru in the distance.
"I'm fine." I lied while walking deeper into the ally. I pulled out my cell phone and pressed send when I bumped into two tall heavily muscled men, that were blocking the ally way. I accidentally dropped my phone.
"He's the one. The younger Hitachiin." the blond haired man said. The next thing I knew the dark-haired men were trying to restrain me. I struggled, kicked, punched, even bit one of them before a black van pulled into the ally. I quickly glanced at my phone. I could see that Hikaru had picked up and the call was still going.
"Hikaru!" I yelled, "Hikaru, I'm being-" I was cut off with a hand on my mouth. I bit that hand until I tasted blood. "I'm being kidnaped Hikaru! Hikaru!" Then I heard a gunshot and the world went black.
(okay so hopefully it wasn't too bad, and I'm sorry about the cliff-hanger lol)
