Hey, it's Paw-Chan here! I know I should be getting the second chapter of Come Little Children out, but I heard this song and this idea popped into my head! ^_^

This has HikaKao in it, so if you don't like the twins that way, then calmly click out of this soon to be two-shot. It also has slight TamaKao, but only slight. Same with HikaHaru.

This is Kaoru's point of view, and hopefully it all stayed in the correct tense. (Sometimes when I go with the flow like this, I don't stay with the correct tense.)

And without further ado, The Dark Waltz.

Disclaimer: I don't own Ouran High School Host Club or the song Dark Waltz

The Dark Waltz

He led her out for a dance like a natural, like he had danced for his whole life. Of course, that was sort of true- everybody in the upper class knew how to waltz, it's just… We never liked dancing to begin with. We only ever danced when it was required of us, and even then we danced together. Nobody else; just us.

We are the lucky ones
We shine like a thousand suns
When all of the colour runs together

He is a great dancer, I muse as I watch him. I know deep down in my heart, I wish it was me dancing with him once again. But I can't dance with him ever again. He's made his choice for his fairytale ending. My carriage has already turned back into a pumpkin as my clock struck midnight mournfully. We can never be more than what we are now- brothers.

I'll keep you company
In one glorious harmony
Waltzing with destiny forever

The song that's playing is surprisingly fitting. Truly it is a waltz with destiny. It is Hikaru's destiny to be with Haruhi, the girl he loves. Not me.

The sound of footsteps behind me brings me out of my reverie, and I turn to see…

"Oh, Tono, it's you." Somehow the comment doesn't have much feeling in it without Hikaru beside me. Tono gives me an odd smile, and then at the head of the steps for the whole party to see, he bows and says,

Dance me into the night
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Turning me into the light

"May I have this dance?" I didn't have a chance to answer. Tono just grabbed my arm in a gentle but firm grasp, sending the message that I couldn't get out of this. He led me down the stairs like I was any other girl, with the deafening screams of the fangirls watching falling upon deaf ears. I could feel my face burning, and as we made it to the bottom of the steps I couldn't turn to see where either of our parents were.

Before I could even protest, Tono had put an arm around my waist and grasped my hand. I resisted the urge to frown as I placed my free hand on Tono's shoulder.

And so we waltzed.

Time dances whirling past
I gaze through the looking glass
And feel just beyond my grasp is heaven

"You really love him, don't you?" Tono's comment was so low, I could barely hear him, but I did. I stiffened, yet we never stopped our movement.

"Wh-Who are you talking about?" I asked, shifting my gaze from Tono's, though there was no use faking confusion. I think it's pretty obvious. Tono's laugh confirms my suspicions.

"Hikaru, isn't it obvious?" Tono answers quietly. I must've looked surprised because his next comment was, "Even I can pick up the little details occasionally."

Sacred geometry
Where movement is poetry
Visions of you and me forever

"I-I don't know what you're talking about!" I protest, and Tono smiles sadly.

"I think you do," Tono says, "Have you ever thought about asking him how he felt, instead of jumping to your own conclusions?" I never got a chance to reply. We had reached the part in the waltz where normal couples would spin the girl out and back in.

I was spun out, but it wasn't Tono who I was spun back into…

Dance me into the night
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Turning me into the light

Hikaru. Stupid Tono. He probably had Kyoya help him plan this out. The only good news was that Hikaru wasn't in on this plan either, so he was just as surprised as I was. Hikaru raised an eyebrow, and just as was just to ask an obvious question, I cut in.

"Stupid Tono." It was more of a grumble, but it was the truth. Hikaru smiled and laughed.

"Are you sure you just weren't jealous, Kaoru?" Hikaru was teasing me, but my face still flushed red.

"No," I contradicted quietly, face flushing. Yet, I knew that my reply wasn't true. I was jealous.

Dance me into the night
Underneath the moon shining so bright
Let the dark waltz begin

"Something wrong Kaoru?" Hikaru's frowning, and I shake my head in response. "You're not embarrassed, are you?" Again, I shake my head.

"More like mad," I admit. "At Tono, for doing this." I add quickly to the nods slightly.

"Why did he do this anyways?" Hikaru wonders aloud, and I frown. I have a really good idea as to why, but it's not like I'm going to tell him. I sigh and bite my lip, turning my gaze to the ground.

Maybe I should tell Hikaru… No. That's not an option. I had my chance and I lost it. Hikaru's fairytale lies with Haruhi now.

Oh let me wheel - let me spin
Let it take me again
Turning me into the light

"Our couple of the night," Tono announces as the waltz finally ends, and Hikaru and I turn our heads up to the staircase to where Tono stands, Kyoya and Haruhi to his right, Hani and Mori to his left. Hani is smiling at us along with Haruhi. Mori's face is ever expressionless, and Kyoya has an odd little half-smirk, half-smile on his face.

We look up at Tono just in time to see him gesture to us.

"Is none other than Hitachiin Hikaru and his lovely partner, Hitachiin Kaoru." We blush as the girls start squealing.

So this was Tono's plan from the start. Well maybe not his, but it was more likely that he got it from Kyoya, but anyways! That little rat!

"And as our couple of the night," Kyoya goes on for Tono, "As stated prior at the beginning of the dance…" We both freeze. Of course. The girls start squealing and Hikaru and I flinch and turn away from each other as Kyoya finishes.

"They must kiss." Kyoya's glasses are glinting under the lights and I now know for a fact that he had this planned from the start. Hikaru opens his mouth to protest, but before he can even speak, Kyoya's already stating a cold,

"I won't make exceptions, even if you are siblings." I sigh, and tug Hikaru's sleeve lightly.

"It's just a kiss, Hikaru," I whine. "It's not a big deal." Hikaru grumbles a bit, and I feel tears burning in my eyes. Why am I about to cry? I hear Hikaru sigh as he turns towards me. He pauses, as if shocked by something.

"Why are you crying Kaoru?" He asks, grasping my chin lightly. "It's not about the stupid kiss, is it?"

I don't really remember what happens next, but the next thing I know, Hikaru's on the floor and I'm out of the room like a bullet.

Some fairytale this is.

X.x.X.x.X

This is going to be a two-shot, so we find out what will happen next time. Evil I am. ^_^

So, Kyoya's extremely sneaky, and Tama and Hani and Haru just want to see Kaoru happy with the only love of his life.

Find out what happens next time on,

The Dark Waltz

Reading and Reviewing makes for a happy authoress! ^_^
